The Burn Notice Fic Unleashed

I released it into the wild here.

Michael deals with a lot. Sometimes too much. Sometimes he needs Sam to drag him back.
Set at the end of 2x10 Do No Harm, after Michael gives the cash to Kenny.

A rare unbeta’d fic, because the intersection between my usual suspects and a small fandom for a show that ended a decade ago is zero. This one’s pure, unfiltered me. If you spot an escaped typo, please let me know and I'll grab it and lock it in a shipping container.

What the hell even is this? It's not sexual, it's barely even slashy. Apparently I do sappy devotion via BDSM now??

Hannibal Fanfic - A Thousand Truths

My fanfic for the Murder Husbands Big Bang 2020 is finally live! Thank you to DreamerInSilico for the beta.

A Thousand Truths Hannibal wants to know why Will testified as he did at Hannibal’s trial. Will has many different answers. Red Dragon Arc and beyond…

8600 words, explicit

And thank you, of course, to the collaborative artist for my story, Nin Potato.



Nin's tumblr art post is here, so hop over there if you want to tell her how much you like her work directly :-)

That Very Old Fic is now complete on AO3!

Final editing and posting is done!



War and Peace

Fandom: Gundam Wing

Pairing: Duo/Heero, or 1x2x1 if we're going old style. Yes, that's two underage teenagers shagging each other, for those who don't care for that sort of thing.

Summary: Duo Maxwell looks back on the war. And on Heero Yuy. Turns out he spends a lot of time thinking about Heero…

This is the fic I started back in 2003, and then went back to and finished in 2020. It's also by far the most rambling, info-dumpy, monologue-y story I've ever written. Duo likes to talk and I never found a way to stop him.

Canon compliant for the series, AU for Endless Waltz. It follows the story and emotional arc of the series, so you know what you're getting...

Six Sentence Sunday

So that Gundam Wing fic I started back in (checks) 2003 and then abandoned when I got distracted by shiny new fandoms - it’s gone from 14,000 words to 21,500 in the last two weeks. It seems there’s a reason I keep hold of every WIP and idea that never made it, religiously transferring them across hard drives each time I get a new machine.


“Sleep okay?” I asked. There was a hell of a lot more I wanted to know, but it seemed the safe place to start.

“Yeah.” Heero was gonna say that either way, but he did look better. He still needed a shower, and maybe a shave (though to be honest, the stubble kinda worked for him), and to fix some shit with his hair, but he looked like a guy who’d just dragged his ass out of bed and less like a ghost.

“You have bad taste in coffee,” he said, frowning at the packet, but he spooned it into the machine anyways.

“Well, sure, I’m an L2 brat,” I said, flashing a grin. “Not likely I’d be drinking the same stuff as Relena’s people, huh?”

Yeah, I dropped her name to see what reaction I’d get. Course I did.


And no, I was never going to be able to keep Duo Maxwell to only six sentences!

Bad Connections series complete

Direct Current is now complete on AO3, and that wraps up the fourth and final part of the Bad Connections series, my Hannibal season two AU.

Bad Connections was a smutty one shot last September, and then it somehow got irradiated and grew and mutated and went on a rampage through Tokyo my brain. A finished series is a good series!

Bad Connections fic

I've just realised that since I posted my last fic in a hurry before I shot out of town, I forgot to mention it here. Oversight!

Bad Connections. Hannigram, 5K words, set between Yakimono and Su-zakana.

Written for a porn trope challenge, for the prompt: “I’m fixing your *insert appliance/furniture/house thing here* for you and now I’m sweaty and half naked and you’re drooling” sex.

De Profundis series complete

I've posted the final parts of the final story in my post-Wrath of the Lamb Hannibal fanfic series.

Out of the Depths
The Depths of Trust
The Lingering Past
The New Normal
Whatever is Realised

I’m finally done, a year, a month, and some days after I sat on a plane frantically scribbling the first conversations between Jack and Will that grew into ‘Out of the Depths.’ At that point, I thought ‘Out of the Depths’ would be a one off, and getting Will to a place where he could make a choice would be the end of it. It turns out I had to follow Will through all of his choices before I could stop.

Bryan Fuller said that after the fall would be when Will Graham’s journey started to get really interesting, and apparently my brain agreed. We will likely never get to see Bryan’s vision for season four, so we share those of a few thousand fangirls, and this was mine.

Thank you, Bryan Fuller, for creating some of the most fascinating, crazy, inspirational series on television, and in particular for Hannibal, which rekindled my writing bug after a seven year hiatus. You gave me something truly special.

Oh, and I have a tumblr account now. Guess what, I'm tiggymalvern there too.

My brain has been eaten by porn

Writing fanfic has always been a disjointed process for me. I have no concept of how some people can start at the beginning and write through to the end. I write scenes in the order they solidify in my head, piecing the whole lot together bit by bit as more of the gaps fill themselves in. And through all the fandoms I wrote in for so many years, there was a pretty clear pattern that the hardest sections to write, and thus the last to get written, were the action scenes and the smut.

Except for the Hannibal fandom. The action-heavy sequences still get written last, and they're definitely perspiration, not inspiration. But apparently with these two guys I'm all about the porn. The sex just writes itself effortlessly, and it keeps on writing, until some kissing and 69-ing grows to over four thousand words. Worse than that, I'm even writing sex scenes for scenarios I'm never going to actually put in a fic, because they camp there in my head, and I can't get back to writing the plot for my WIP until I've got them out of my brain.

I've been trying to figure out why this is, and I think it's because these two guys are almost never just having sex. One or both of them always has an agenda, an ulterior motive that goes beyond an enjoyable orgasm, and sometimes it's successful and sometimes it's not, but they never stop digging in one another's brains. It's practically a compulsion for them to poke at each other and see what happens. Even when you've got them shacked up together in domestic bliss with too many dogs, they don't stop playing games. Maybe they would after five years or so when they've finally run out of corners to dig in, but it's interesting to play with the ideas inbetween!

Feedback is happiness

I got a comment today on my Hannibal series telling me, among other things, that my fics are now the reader's personal headcanon for what happened after the series ended. Considering that there are literally thousands of post-series fanfics out there in this fandom, I am taking that as a very big compliment indeed :-)

Hannibal fic 2.1

In a fit of total self-indulgence, I added an unplanned and very belated third chapter to The Depths of Trust and doubled the length of the entire thing. My brain was having way too much fun playing with these two guys trying to figure their way around each other. Because after years of mutual obsession and emotional and physical damage, deciding to stop all of that and fuck like bunnies doesn’t automatically mean they can have an actual relationship…

And now I can get back to writing part five of this series, which was what I started doing before my brain took off at a tangent.

Hannibal New Year!

It's taken a ridiculously long time to get this finished, because Other Stuff Ate My Life, but I just sneaked it in under the wire :-)

Hannibal Fic the Fourth

The sequel to the other three.

Why is it that I find myself pouring out domestic fluff when I'm writing about a serial killer and whatever the hell Will Graham is? I guess I'm just contrary that way. Of course domestic fluff with these two comes with sharp edges hidden in the pockets...

Anyway, goodbye 2016, and I hope you're all planning some fun for the start of 2017. Maybe Donald Trump will do something to get himself impeached?

Hannibal fic the Third

Hannibal POV, creep factor rising.

The Lingering Past at AO3.

Third fic in the De Profundus series.

This is just a short one, filling in a time gap between where the second one left off, and where the next couple are going. When I started writing Hannibal fic, I told myself I wouldn't write Hannibal POV, but he crept into my head anyway. He does that a lot. I think I need to scrub my brain out now.

Hannibal Fic the Second

The Depths of Trust, at AO3

This is the sequel to Out of the Depths.

There's actual Hannibal this time, not just the one in Will Graham's head. And there's porn.

Hannibal Fic - Out of the Depths

So here it is - 32k words of porn-free moping with Will Graham. Apparently this is what drags me out of a seven year fanfic writing hiatus, who knew? Spoilers for the entire series.

Here it is at AO3.

I think I'll need to take a couple of weeeks for RL stuff before I dive back into the first of the sequels. Between finishing the video and this, I have literally done nothing else with my free time in the last three weeks. I probably should...

Anybody want to beta a Hannibal fanfic?

It's basically done at this point, I just need to pull together one more linking scene and then spend a couple of days smoothing out the edges of the parts I've most recently written. 32,000 words of misery and angst, and Will Graham moping about how fucked up his life is, with some help from Jack Crawford and Freddie Lounds. No Hannibal, no porn and minimal violence (I know, how is this even a Hannibal fic, right?), and did I mention the moping? Set post 3x13 The Wrath of the Lamb, so spoilers for everything.

Beta-ing seems to be the old fashioned approach to fanfic these days, and a lot of people don't bother, but ideally I'd like an American to look it over and yank the British-isms out of Will Graham's mouth, even if it doesn't get a full-on concrit. If you'd be willing, let me know, and I'll throw it at you in a few days.

Some days I hate my brain

I'm sitting here this morning, working on finishing my Hannibal fanfic, slowly filling in the gaps between the chunks that are already written to make it one whole thing. Then a conversation for the sequel fic pops into my head, the one I'm scribbling down bits of as they ambush me, because that's what stories do. And as I'm writing that, I suddenly realise I know what the third fic has to be.

And I'm sitting here thinking, 'Am I really going to write this, and eroticise it?' And yes, yes, I probably am.

Fanfic eats time in more ways than one

Last night, I added an extra forty minutes to my drive home from work to go to a Walmart. Normally I'd go that far out of my way to avoid going near a Walmart, but a character in the fanfic I'm writing is going to shop in one, so I had to check some details.

It's fairly likely that nobody would care too much if I got the finer points wrong. Nobody but me, who would be bugged by it forever. It's not even as if it affects the plot, just the window dressing. I may be obsessively detail orientated.

On the list of activities for this afternoon - research into mid sized towns in Maryland. At least I'm not acquiring a detailed and extensive google history of assault rifles, military grade weaponry and illicit drug dealing, like I did when I was writing Mexico fic.

This was much easier when I was writing Trigun, and didn't have to worry about how stuff actually is in the real world.
