Title: This Is Why We Fight
Author: JALover7
Rating: PG
Spoilers: MAJOR spoilers for 2.12, “The Fires of Idirsholas”
Pairing: Arthur&Merlin friendship
Summary: Merlin’s pov, set during 2.12, “The Fires of Idirsholas.” Merlin will always have Arthur’s back. But Merlin realizes that, someday, he wants Arthur to know it.
Disclaimer: Merlin is owned by the BBC.
AN: This is just a brief glimpse into one of my favorite scenes in the episode. I took one very short piece of a scene (seriously, blink and you may miss it) and expanded on it. It’s kind of a reflection on what I was thinking when I watched it, but I feel like it’s something that could easily have been on Merlin’s mind as well.

Everything Is Never As It Seems, Chapter 1

  • Nov. 28th, 2009 at 12:32 AM

AN: Many thanks for the great reviews. You all are awesome! I plan to answer them all on a more personal level tomorrow.

I just have one quick note: as I’m writing the story, it turns out it will have to shift point of view and not just be from Arthur’s POV. Not a big deal, just something to be prepared for. :)


Chapter One: A Matter of Trust )

I've become hooked on BBC's Merlin, so I'm taking a dive into the world of Merlin fan fiction. This is my first Merlin fan fic story. Hope you enjoy it!

Title: Everything Is Never As It Seems
Author: JALover7
Rating: PG-13 to be safe, prob more like PG
Genre: equal parts friendship and angst
Spoilers: up to 2.09; MAJOR spoilers for 2.08 “Sins of the Father” and 2.09 “Lady of the Lake”
Pairing: Arthur&Merlin friendship (possible subtext if you squint, but no more than the show)
Summary: Set after 2.09, “Lady of the Lake.” Merlin does magic to save Arthur’s life…again. But this time, Arthur finds out. How does Arthur deal with the fact that the person he depends on and trusts the most has been keeping such a secret from him? With the exception of the first section, story is from Arthur’s POV.
Disclaimer: Merlin is owned by the BBC.
AN: Title shamelessly stolen from the song “Fireflies” by Owl City, which I listened to A LOT when I first starting putting this together. Awesome song, definitely worth a download. Also, I’m American, so I’m gonna try not to abuse British slang by using as little of it as possible, outside of what I’ve heard on the show.

Ficlet: The Truth Hurts (coda to AHBL2)

  • Sep. 5th, 2007 at 10:31 PM

The Truth Hurts 
Author: JALover7
Rating: PG-13 for language
Genre: equal portions angst and brotherly love
Disclaimer: I don’t own Sam, Dean, or anything related to Supernatural (if only) – Kripke and others do.
Spoilers: up to "All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2" 
Summary: It’s been three weeks since the all-important event of AHBL2, and three weeks since the brothers have been on a hunt. Dean is ready to get back to work, but Sam has something to say to him, and Dean is not going to like what he realizes about himself and what he did for Sam. The truth hurts: especially when it’s told to us by someone we love. Ficlet, 3500 words, coda to AHBL2.



So last night I came up with an idea for a real short ficlet post-AHBLp2, and then I thought of something important and came up with an even better idea, so that's what this is.  Let me know what you think.

Rating: PG
Genre: drama, angst (more of the first)
Disclaimer: I don’t own Sam, Dean, or anything related to Supernatural (if only) – Kripke and others do.
Spoilers:  through “All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2”
Summary: Ficlet, 1800 words.  Coda to “All Hell Breaks Loose, part 2.”  Sam found out about his brother’s deal 3 hours ago, and now he can’t sleep as numbers take on a whole new meaning for him.
AN:  This is just how I think Sam might deal with what he found out at the end of the episode.  On a side note, this is probably the least angsty story I have ever written, especially considering the subject matter, so it’s kind of a milestone for me; there’s actually more mushy stuff in here than there is angst.  Yay me! :P

Numbers )

 

Also, I wrote a paper awhile ago for my Personality Pyschology class, and we got to do a character analysis on a character of our choosing and, thankfully, my teacher let me do Dean Winchester (wow that sounds dirty) even though she has only seen 2 episodes.  Already handed it in (got a 95 on it, yippee!, and actually enjoyed writing it) but thought I'd share it with anyone who is interested.  There's obviously psychological terminology/information in here, but it's all explained and easy to read.  So if you want, here it is:


 

Finally, I did these postcards for

[info]spn_secretpost ages ago (after "Heart," I think) and thought I'd go ahead and post them up here, too.

 


Ficlet - "I'm Sorry" (post-AHBLp1)

  • May. 16th, 2007 at 1:47 AM

Just a short ficlet I wrote in the aftermath of "All Hell Breaks Loose, part 1."  Spoilers obviously for that episode, but no spoilers for part two, and I would appreciate it if no one posted any in the comments.  Enjoy it in all its angsty goodness. :)

I’m Sorry

Warnings:

Summary:
Ficlet, 1600 words.  Coda to “All Hell Breaks Loose, part 1.”  The final scene from Sam’s point of view.
AN: 
I felt the need to write something for this episode.  I realized that we clearly saw how Dean was effected by the episode’s final events, so I thought I’d try and get inside Sam’s head and see how he was feeling in that moment, and this is what I came up with.  Enjoy.

I'm Sorry )



For those of you still waiting for updates on "You're Not Alone," I can't apologize enough for how much I suck for not updating that.  I plan on beginning to finish it soon (can't promise how soon "soon" is), but I have not forgotten it or those of you who were reading it.  College makes life REALLY busy.  Now that the summer is here, I will find some time to finish it.  Just gotta get myself in the mood.  I think once Supernatural's done for the season, I'll probably get hit with withdrawal symptoms, and that might be enough to get the creative juices flowing again.  So I apologize PROFUSELY to everyone for my suckage at updating that.  I haven't forgotten you guys.  I'm not making any promises as to when, but I WILL finish it if it kills me.  Thanks for all your patience, and, though I realize I've apologized before and it just seems like more of the same blah, blah, blah from me, I'm really sorry.

Ficlet - "The Ripple Effect"

  • Mar. 6th, 2007 at 1:36 AM

This is just a ficlet that I wrote for the supernatural.tv First Impressions fan fic challenge and I figured I’d share it.  The prompt was: “Write a story about a first impression of Dean, Sam, John, or a combination of the Winchester men. It can be someone from an actual episode, or you can make it up. Hotel managers, people they've helped, anyone. It can be from the person's point of view or told in third person. Your choice.”


The Ripple Effect

Author: JALover7

Rating: PG

Genres: brotherly love, angst, wee!winchesters

Disclaimer: I don’t own Sam, Dean, or anything related to Supernatural (if only) – Kripke and others do.

Spoilers: none

Summary:  Ficlet.  John’s been gone on a hunt for too long, and the boys need food, so Dean breaks the rules and takes Sam out to buy some.  But this isn’t really their story.  It’s the story of one woman whose life they unintentionally change forever.  Original character pov, wee!winchesters, brotherly love and some angst.


In random personal news (that probably no one cares about but I feel like sharing anyway :P), I think I may have gotten a cold from the guy I’m crushing on.  I started spring break on Saturday, and at like 1am or something on Friday morning I started drinking with friends.  Suffice it to say that we had an awesome time, I didn’t go to bed until 6:30 or so, and I went to my first class still very slightly drunk, which was interesting to experience once but not something I really need to repeat, *lol*.  Also, I get kind of touchy feely when I get drunk and feel a need to hug everyone, and as I was hugging one of my friends the guy that I have a crush on mentioned that I do that a lot.  I told him that I’d hug him too if I could stand up, and he said he’d do the same, and when I didn’t get up he stood up and hugged me!! :D  Simply friendly; he’s got a girlfriend, so there’s no potential there, which makes me sad, but what can you do?  Then I sampled some of his tequila (Sam’s whole “I can still taste the tequila” thing? – totally true, even if you don’t throw it up), and I’m pretty sure that’s how I caught my cold.  All my friends have gotten sick recently, and I had been just fine until then.  But oh well.  I can think of worse ways to get sick. ;)

Anyway, I’m sure no one is interested in stuff like that, but it was a happy night and I wanted to gush to someone who hasn’t heard me gush about it a million times yet, *lol*.

Also, [info]jellicle, if you’re reading this I sent you something to thank you for the b-day balloons.  Wasn’t really expecting anything and it made me happy.  :)

Ok, end of my randomness.  Go read my story please! :D


I realize that I haven't written a chapter for "You're Not Alone" in far too long, and I apologize, but life's been busy for me lately.  I promise that I will finish it, I just can't promise when.  I'm really sorry, guys.  Hope you all don't hate me too much.

Anyway, this is a short piece that I intended to submit for a writing competition held at my school. However, it was far too long, so I ended up editing it down to a much shorter piece, which was still good in its own right, but I still prefer this version. This was created by taking some of the more meaningful parts of my fan fic story "A Little More Tequila, A Little Less Demon Hunting" and reorganizing them into something new. The mood and message are still the same, but the format is clearly different and the vast majority of the plot removed, including all mentions of the supernatural. What remains is a more generic journey that could be experienced by anyone, though I still imagined my characters (named Tom/Tommy and Sean) as I imagined Sam/Sammy and Dean in that story. So I fixed it up a bit and changed the names, and what you have here is shorter version of the journey which Sam and Dean experience in my AU story ALMT, though in a more unique, poetic format. It can’t, I believe, measure up to ALMT, but it is, I also believe, good in its own way. Hopefully you guys think so, too.

Give it a shot if you want and let me know what you think. I especially hope all my great reviewers from ALMT will come back and tell me what they think of this.

Thanks to all and enjoy. :)

Summary: Sometimes, all it takes is one other person. A much shorter version of "A Little More Tequila, A Little Less Demon Hunting" with the same mood and message, but with a unique tone and format and without the demon hunting (yet another reason to consider it AU).

Ficlet - Silence

  • Jan. 11th, 2007 at 2:00 AM

This is just a short little something I wrote awhile ago when I was bored.  I thought I should post it before the new episode airs TONIGHT (holy crap, I can't believe the day is finally here - only 19 hours left!).  It's just my thoughts on what might happen if Dean told Sam The Big Secret.  Enjoy and comment.  Thanks to everyone who commented on the last ficlet I wrote.  I'll respond to all your comments from that one sometime today or tomorrow. :) 'Til then, enjoy, and everyone have fun watching Supernatural tonight!!  I swear I'm gonna be a nervous wreck all day counting down the minutes. :D

Ficlet - I'll Always Be There

  • Dec. 12th, 2006 at 11:27 AM

There was one scene in "Croatoan" that I loved even more than the obvious one, and I made a connection in my head, and pretty soon I had a small idea that was begging to be written so I wrote it.  Short and sweet ficlet, about 800 words.  I know I should be working on other things, but this took me all of half an hour to write and I think it was well spent.  Read it and let me know what you think. :)

Summary: Ficlet, 800 words. Missing scene from "Croatoan." When Sam was 6 years old, Dean taught him how to ride a bike.
AN: One small scene stuck out a lot for me in "Croatoan," and it got me thinking, and this idea was begging to come out, so I didn't fight it. Short and sweet and kind of angsty, as per usual. Enjoy and comment. :)
 

You're Not Alone - Chapter Five

Consider this a Thanksgiving gift *hangs head in shame and apologizes for taking so long*.  I’ll explain myself in the AN after the chapter.  Just go read it first.  I think/hope you’ll find this one worth the wait.

I'm posting the link to the chapter from my fanfiction.net account because I'm on my home computer and it's being a real pain in the ass and I don't have the patience to yell at it anymore.  I'll post it here after I get back to my computer early next week.  If anyone has any problems seeing it, it'll also be HEREPlease leave any comments in here though so I can keep track.  Thanks for understanding, hope you guys like it, and enjoy. :)

CHAPTER 5: What Sam Needs


Happy Halloween to you all! :D  Consider this your treat. ;)  I wasn’t planning on putting Chapter Four out on Halloween, but since I finished it yesterday and edited it today, it just worked out perfectly.

Just a brief WARNING: This chapter contains a few gory descriptions; though I don’t think they are any worse than some of the things we see on the more violent episodes, I thought I would mention it just to be on the safe side.

Enjoy! :)

Chapter One of "You're Not Alone" is now up.  Expect the chapters in this story to be fairly short, probably around the same length as this one (3,000 words).  I figure that people won't mind them being shorter than the ones from TNBB if that means they come out faster.

Read and enjoy! :)

New Story: You're Not Alone - Prologue

Okay, so much for telling myself that I wouldn't be writing anything else any time soon.  Sometimes ideas just kind of eat at your brain, and you know if you don't write them down, they're just gonna keep chomping down on your brain until there's nothing left.

So yeah, this has to be started before my muse eats my brain.

This is the sequel to The New Big Brother that I mentioned I might write sometime.  Turns out sometime is now.  Read the AN, as it's important.

Hope you guys enjoy, and don't forget to comment before you go.

Dean is haunted by nightmares, and our boys find that their easiest job yet is also their hardest. Angst!Dean and BigBrother!Sam return. Multiple chapter, work in progress. 

AN: For those who haven’t read The New Big Brother yet, I highly recommend reading it, as this is the sequel to that and this will make better sense if you read TNBB first. To those who have read TNBB, I recommend rereading chapter 3 and the epilogue as a quick catch up, because they are a lead in to this sequel.

Secondly, I want everyone to know that I’m making no promises as so how quickly these chapters will come out. They’ll probably come out pretty sporadically, and not as quickly as they have in my other stories. I’m in my junior year of college, and that has to come first. God only knows why I’m deciding to make myself write anymore than I have to right now. Maybe it’s because I haven’t gotten any real paper assignments yet, and I’m feeling a need to write something. Which is pretty shocking actually. I think I may actually be beginning to almost like this writing thing. Which is a good thing, given I’m majoring in English, *lol*. So anyway, I decided I wanted to start putting this out, because the ideas have been growing in my head recently where they were kind of lacking before, and suddenly they are really itching to just get out on paper. And when ideas are begging to be let free, sometimes you just gotta go with it. : )

To that end, I hope you all enjoy this, and please don’t forget to review on your way out. Thanks! : )


 

Poll - Dean and His Emotions

  • Sep. 14th, 2006 at 8:45 PM

Do me a favor and answer the poll, please?  I don't have a plus account, so I guess it has to be done the old fashioned way.  I know that doesn't make it private, but I don't know what else to do.  I spent half an hour trying to make a poll before I finally found out that you can't do it without paying for a plus account.  What's a poor college student to do? :P




It's here.  The ending.  I'm a bit upset that it's over. 

Enjoy! :D

Love )

Sorry it took me a week to get this out.  Getting back into the swing of things at school is a real pain.  I've been here a week and my roommate still hasn't moved in, so I'm wondering how we're gonna set up the room and when we're gonna do it and the room is so empty and blank because I haven't put up any pictures yet and blah, blah, blah.  Hopefully that crap will get sorted out soon.

Anywho, chapter six is here.  Expect one more chapter and an epilogue after this.  Happy reading!
