"I Love You"

"God Complex" (Season 8, Episode 4)

"And in the End" (Season 15, Episode 10)

Finished another commission:) The visor was a bit of a challenge, but I figured it out! Its a champions alt skin from the game Paladins (I hope thats right. Please correct me D; )

The door creaked, “Maeve?” a familiar, beautiful, fatigue–condensed voice echoed into her office, along hollow footsteps.

Maeve’s eyes gazed at the sleepy–looking Spencer as he entered her office, one plate cupped in both hands with the familiar look of their assigned coffee cups within it.

“Early morning?” she joked, giggling at the pout on her partner's face.

“I didn't want to sleep without you,” he mumbled through a persistent yawn, walking over sluggishly to her desk. “and because your keyboard is too loud.”

A smile tugged, “Penelope bought this for me though, she's your favourite, isn't she?” Maeve teased, batting her eyebrows innocently as he craned his face to the side, a prominent blush—though it took a while to realize from the bedhead;

A beautiful almost pink blush littered Spencer, from his neck to his ears, to the roundest parts of his cheeks. It was adorable, that's all she could describe it as.

And she hummed contently as his movements of placing the plate on her desk stuttered, but only for a bit. “Speechless?”

He licked his lips slowly, and her eyes followed unashamed. “.. She isn't my favourite .. and also her keyboards are always loud so it's a consistent thing.”

Maeve hummed again at that, knowingly gazing at her lover while he brang a delicate hand to comb through his untamed brown curls, an almost fluffy mess if she had a say in it (but it was cute, and matched well with the wool sweater and flowy trousers so she couldn't complain)

“Right, whatever helps you sleep at night.” she replied teasingly, going back to typing on her keyboard but in a new found obnoxiously loud way.

“I hate you sometimes.” he complained, followed by the familiar flutter of wings.

She grinned at the quip, “Yes but you love me so that overpowers it. Love you.”

“Love you.”

ok first of all, alex leaving the team BROKE my heart. i really loved her character and the bond she had with the different characters (like rossi and spencer). im gonna miss her a lot :(

second of all, when spencer reached into his bag to get alex’s badge, he also slid out THE ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE BOOK THAT MAEVE GAVE HIM ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I ALMOST THREW MY PHONE ACROSS THE ROOM AND SCREAMED

I know I just made a post about it but I’m thinking of starting to write fanfiction. I’ve written original stories for my own enjoyment before but haven’t actually wrote out fanfiction. I have had so many ideas but don’t remember any of them. These are the fandoms I’m in and want to write something specific for them. Give me ideas. Not saying I’ll write it but I might. I don’t know how to create bullet points. Also don’t judge me for my niche ships

Psych: Something Yin related. Maybe an AU where Mary Lightly lives

Criminal minds: Spencer/Maeve with a happy ending

Brooklyn 99: Don’t judge me but I still kind of ship Jake/Sophia. Also Jake and Rosa in prison. Mostly focused on Jake though.

Percy Jackson: I’ve had a few ideas about the new solangelo book. Mostly Nico based. Angst with a happy ending. Also Nico and Jason friendship stuff.

Following along the train of party playlists, next up is Raeve Maeve from Paladins: Champions of the Realm! Both one of my favorite skins and character, I love this playlist a lot.

[Spotify]

1. Riot - Hollywood Undead

2. You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring

3. Scream & Shout - will.i.am and Britney Spears

4. Beautiful is Boring - BONES UK

5. Pon De Floor - Major Lazer

Again, this one is very party themed, but includes more dubstep, electronic, and remixed songs. A slightly different flavor of party, but a fun one nonetheless! Enjoy, and try not to party too hard folks - Mod Faolán

Not me drawing fanart of a character I’ve never played in a game I have 10 hours in

Raev's Fic Masterlist

Since tumblr can be a little allergic to links, I thought I'd take a second to ramble about all the various little (and not so little) fics I have up on Ao3

Den of Shadows

Jaguar's Midnight: Currently a single chapter of me exploring ideas of a Midnight that is more blatantly BDSM and less human trafficking. Maybe more to come? Who knows

Unpublished Turquoise thing about her time with Daryl (pester me about if it you're interested)

Hawksong/Kiesha'ra

Ties that Bind (ongoing, 30 chps) A queer, polyamorous, Romeo and Juliet with shapeshifters set on a backdrop of the first tentative peace in a thousand year war. Canon's hotter cousin. Not currently explicit but plans to potentially get there

Frayed Knots (ongoing, 20 chps) The place where all the scenes I thought would go in TTB but didn't wind up. Some one offs, some deleted scenes. A mixed bag of spicy adult stuff and just fun character exploration. Iirc spicy chapters are marked as such

Dasi High (abandoned, 4 chps) Highschool AU of Maeve and Kiesha and Co, if their story was on the CW

Forbidden Skies (hiatus, 2 chps) Crossover with Forbidden Game. Julian is a falcon and Jenny and co are avians and serpiente. Basically FB's chars and plot cosplaying as K'r

Forbidden Game

Forbidden Skies, see above

Holy Fire (one off) A sort of song fic where Zach thinks way too hard about Jenny and tries to become a magician

Hearts Desires (ongoing, 2 chps) Still playing with Zach the magician, this one is meant to be a fairly short exploration of magic/runes, Zach's obsession with Jenny, his inability to readjust after the game, and coming out to himself. And tree sex. It's a weird one.

Unpublished pre-canon Jenny thing where she's kind of aware of something (Julian) watching her at night (spicy, pester me about it if you're interested)

Longer descriptions under the cut

Ties that Bind: A queer, polyamorous, Romeo and Juliet with shapeshifters set on a backdrop of the first tentative peace in a thousand year war. Anticipated f/f, m/m, and many other shapes of m/f/m and/or f/m/f, potentially kinky if I ever get it there. Also potentially ace/qpr stuff if I can ever figure out my MC and what is true in this fic vs what belongs in side projects. Canon's hotter cousin with more magic, more setting development, A LOT more romance, and a distant relation to the original in the way that Vaporeon resembles Eevee. It wants to still fit in canon's clothes but really needs to admit its grown too big for that.

This is the big one. I realized revisiting my favorite childhood series that the big epic romance I always remembered was mostly in my head. So I decided to get it out of my head and onto paper. That is... not what happened XD It follows the basic Romeo/Julietness of Hawksong, but I decided to really explore the world and characters and so made a lot of executive decisions bc there actually isn't that much about the world/characters in the original. It's diverged wildly, spiraled out of control into a 30+ chapters novel (lets be honest) and isn't ending any time soon. It's the one I most want to work on so send me asks and encouragement about it so I can get working on it again :P

Basically, Zane and Danica are still deeply dedicated to peace. They think the idea of getting married to achieve it is ridiculous, but they're desperate enough to keep it on the back burner. Dani gets to know Zane (and Adelina) as friends. She explores her relationship with Rei. She struggles with bureaucracy and a well-meaning mother that doesn't always support her in the way she needs. Also there's a bit more magic, a lot more setting, and a bunch of characters I kinda made up to help flesh things out (hello Vasili's made up cousin). Current plans include finishing it with some sort of marriage, but I haven't decided if Zanica is endgame or not (the dynamic currently in the lead in my head is Dani takes Adelina as her Alistair, Zane takes Rei as his Nag, and the four of them all kinda co-rule. We'll see. Everyone is going to kiss everyone else before its done that's for sure)

Frayed Knots (ongoing, 20 chps) The place where all the scenes I thought would go in TTB but didn't wind up. Some one offs, some deleted scenes. A mixed bag of spicy adult stuff and just fun character exploration. Iirc spicy chapters are marked as such Current offerings include: abandoned TTB starts, some BDSM scenes with Z/D/R/A, Dani getting herself off and thinking too hard, an alternative Snakecharm opening from Kel's POV, some Oliza stuff, some Marus/Urban stuff, and some Dasi High stuff. Really, Frayed Knots is a great place to start if you wanna read TTB but are kind of intimidated by its scope. Most FK entries are 1-3 chapters. A sampler platter of my nonsense basically :P

Dasi High (abandoned, 4 chps) Kiesha and Co Highschool AU, basically what if the Dasi was a show on the CW. A fun idea, but not actually my cup of tea. Would probably be more fun to ramble about in discord than actually write

Forbidden Skies (hiatus, 2 chps) Crossover with Forbidden Game. Julian is a falcon and Jenny and co are avians and serpiente. Basically FB's chars and plot cosplaying as K'r. I really loved the idea, but I don't know if it grabbed me enough to make want to wrestle it into submission like I do TTB. With TTB, I don't know the story yet, so I can trick myself into working on it bc I wanna know what happens. With FS, I know what my intended plot will be, so this one would need a lot of outside hype to get me working on it again. But I think it could be really really cool if I did. If this crossover sounds like your cup of tea, pester me for more

Forbidden Game

Forbidden Skies, see above

Holy Fire (one off, post canon what if) A sort of song fic where Zach thinks way too hard about Jenny and tries to become a magician. I have these ideas about Jenny half light faerie, hence Julians obsession with her. In this fic, Zach is trying to learn magic to protect Julian so FB doesn't happen again. He winds up getting the attention of a light faerie, who tasks him with being Jenny's knight until they're ready to come bring her home. Basically, the song Holy Fire by Seeming wouldn't leave me alone one day and this fell out.

Hearts Desires (ongoing, 2 chps, post canon what if) Still playing with Zach the magician, this one is meant to be a fairly short exploration of magic/runes, Zach's obsession with Jenny, his inability to readjust after the game, and coming out to himself. And tree sex. It's a weird one. Basically, I woke up one morning with the ending of it circling around in my head, wrote that, and am now trying to build up the beginning so the ending has anything to jump off of for impact.

Unpublished pre-canon Jenny thing where she's kind of aware of something (Julian) watching her at night (spicy, pester me about it if you're interested) This one I do have plans to publish, I just need to get it (and myself) ready to show to the world. It asks the question "What if Jenny kinda like the idea of feeling watched all the time and deliberately got off for her imagined (or so she thinks) Shadowman?"

oh also. i have kin tags on my main if that interests anyone or piques anyones curiosity. only for like the big ones. all systems go full speed ahead - tails goodnight - raeve/maeve you shouldn’t have done that - ben you’re not getting out - scp 079 squidbeak - agent 3 the destroyer - apollyon l.o.l - lolbit
