So I have kind of been complete crap about updating LJ with new fics that I post. COMPLETE. CRAP. Sorry to anyone who watches for updates here rather than at the AO3!
This is a catchup post. There's a lot of fics beneath the cuts here.
Title: On Earth as It Is in Heaven
Pairing: Ahelstan/Lagertha/Ragnar
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 38614
Summary: Athelstan believes that the empty feeling he's had his entire life means that he has no soulmate, and is meant for God. Ragnar and Lagertha have been waiting for the third member of their bond for years and started to despair that they might ever find him. But when the summer raids bring Ragnar west to Lindisfarne, everything changes.
AO3 Title: Invite the Pack
Pairing: Stiles/Pack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 750
Summary: Stiles knows to be careful in the woods, he knows how to avoid poison oak, but whatever he's fallen into during one of Derek's latest pack exercise, he's very sure no one ever warned him about it, and that is epically unfair.
It started off as a flush as he jogged after the rest of the pack. By the time they'd finished their run, he was hot all over, but figured a run would do that to you. But several hours and one icy shower later, he's still feeling flushed and his breath is short and he's very sure something is very wrong.
He texts Derek because Scott may be his best friend, but they'll never be able to look each other in the eye again if they have this conversation. Sos need ur help stat. He unlocks the window, then falls into bed feverish and aching.
AO3 Title: Shower Games
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 746
Summary: "You're a terrible influence," Stiles gasped. "A terrible influence. I'm going to be the only student ever to fail because his boyfriend gave him too many blowjobs."
AO3 Title: Surrender
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 718
Summary: He saw the drawer open behind Derek, the one that was all socks and underwear on top but his carefully-camouflaged porn stash underneath. Memory came back in a rush. He'd hidden the handcuffs there hoping that, if his dad did find them, he'd be too mortified by the gay porn and the KY to give Stiles grief. But time had passed and they'd fallen down underneath everything else and Stiles had forgotten. "Why were you snooping in my porn?"
AO3 Title: Possession
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Rating: NC-18
Word Count: 699
Summary: If he were being honest, it all started that first year, when Stiles called him Miguel and told Derek to put one of Stiles's shirts on. It sat in the back of his brain for two years after that, a quiet whisper he scarcely acknowledged. But they're fucking now, and it's brought it all back out.
AO3 Title: Friendfyre
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 749
Summary: Morgana doesn't even look surprised when Gwen draws the curtains and slips into bed with her, doesn't ask how Gwen made it past all the other Slytherins in the common room without anyone realizing that she was very far from her own House. All Morgana does is shift to make room for Gwen. "How was Hogsmeade?"
"Butterbeer is amazing," Gwen declares, careful with her enunciation.
AO3 Title: Delight and Amaze
Pairing: Gwen/Arthur, Gwen/Lancelot
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 750
Summary: It's so hard to think, the first half of the day is hazy, but she knows she dragged Lance to the carnival because Arthur demurred. They’d eaten funnel cakes and played games; Lance won her a pink stuffed elephant and they’d passed a tent with a sign outside, Let Madam Zola the Hypnotist Delight and Amaze You!
Gwen had laughed. Lance wheedled until Gwen said, "Fine, but the only delight and amazement I want right now is one of those world-famous corn dogs they’re selling down the way."
AO3 Title: Pride
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 741
Summary: There's little Merlin wants to do more than to walk in the Pride Parade. He tapes it every year, watches it live and then replays it endlessly, watching a different part of the crowd each time. He stares at men in shorts so tiny that there's little point in wearing them, men in leather and glitter and spangles and boas, and he lets himself dream about what he'd be daring enough to wear, if he were there.
They're just dreams, though. He's got school he needs to focus on, and the city is much too far away for a day trip. The rational part of his brain tells him he's got better things to save his hard-earned money for than a train ticket and a hotel room just so he can wave a flag around and maybe be on national television for a split second, if he's lucky.
The part that doesn't care about rationality at all still craves it, with every fiber of his being. All through high school he's told himself, Just a little while longer. Just three years. Just two years. Next year, you'll be at uni and you can stay for as long as you want. Soon, soon, soon.
AO3 Title: You're the Only Way to Me
Pairing: Gwen/Leon
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 747
Summary: There was only so long a woman could hold the throne on her own before the people started to worry, Gwen knew that, even with allowances made for mourning. Still, she took what time she had and used it for her own. And even when the people began to whisper and wonder about Camelot's future, she stood alone and did the best she could, for Arthur. When other kingdoms began sending their princes -- and then their earls, and their dukes, and their second sons, in a desperate hope that someone would catch her fancy -- she entertained them all, as befit foreign dignitaries, and sent them home disappointed.
AO3 Title: Complements
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 2292
Summary: It's not an official sort of class reunion, and it's not on any big milestone year, either. It's nearly five years since they all graduated high school together, four and a half since the summer ended and they all went their separate ways, to college or jobs or, in Gwaine's case, backpacking across Europe to try to find himself, or whatever.
AO3 Title: I Will Dream My Dream Of You
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 749
Summary: It takes Arthur an hour to convince them, and he's excruciatingly aware of every second.
AO3 Title: The Stars Look Very Different Today
Pairing: Freya/Gwaine
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 746
Summary: "Fucking," Gwaine says, as they all lounge about the common room drinking Elena's contraband home-brewed wine. "That's what they mean. They want us to start making moon eyes and faking each other's brains out. Can't repopulate the stars without babies, right?"
AO3 Title: My Cruel Friend is a Funeral Bell
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1336
Summary: All Merlin knew was that some days he woke up with a hurt in his chest that was too great to be contained. Sometimes it's an ache in his breastbone, and he rubs his knuckles against it throughout the day, and that's enough. Some days, it's more than he can bear.
AO3 Title: Untouched
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 525
Summary: The power in Merlin never fails to steal Arthur's breath. He still isn't used to it, and isn't sure he'll ever be. The fact that Merlin -- clumsy, inept, ridiculous Merlin -- is someone who could kill a man with a glance makes something shiver and twist deep within Arthur's gut.
AO3 Title: Status Quo
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 848
Summary: It's easy, holding himself back. Arthur's the guy who's got a new girl on his arm every other week, the sort of guy who groans and covers his eyes and objects loudly should he be witness to even the briefest glimpse of male nudity in a TV show or movie. It makes it easy for Merlin, knowing he's straight, knowing there's no chance.
AO3 Title: 'Til You Make It
Pairing: Gwen/Morgana
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 655
Summary: In the end, the hardest part for Morgana is to step back. Step back, and let Gwen go it alone, when this is the moment that Morgana most wants to lend her support. But it's Gwen's audition, Gwen's opportunity, and this time she's got to do it for herself.
AO3 Title: Dear Diary
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 1369
Summary: There's noting weird about Merlin writing a diary. At least not until the diary starts writing back.
AO3 Title: The King's Rest
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 731
Summary: The thing about Arthur is, he needs a lot of stimulation. Like, hands-clawing-down-his-back, teeth-drawing-blood-on-his-shoulder, nails-pressing-tight-against-the-head-of-his-cock levels of a lot.
AO3 Title: Underneath it All
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3765
Summary: Arthur acts without thinking, grabs Merlin's arm and pulls him around. And Merlin makes a sound that goes straight to Arthur's heart and stops it cold. It's a cry, low and ragged and his eyes are round as marbles, staring straight at him.
"Fuck, Merlin," Arthur snarls. "You're still going to tell me nothing's wrong? You're hurt."
Merlin's laughter is choked and completely humorless. "No. I'm really not."
