Fannish Fifty 1/50: reposting fics I wrote and worked on for Yuletide 2012

[merryghoul]

I have no idea if this is going to be a “theme” or not, but I remembered I still wanted to repost things from my journal from a decade ago and make some changes, especially since I wanted to lock down my LJ to prevent spambots from interacting with the journal. I’ve made it to 2013 and Yuletide reveals. So I’m redoing that post and not sounding petty while I’m listing the fics I wrote and worked on that year.

Under the cut, it’s Yuletide 2012 again! Fandoms: Boardwalk Empire, Burn Notice, Revenge (ABC TV show), and Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991), and I also betaed a fic for Arrow (the CW TV show).


My main assignment was for thepsychicclam, for Boardwalk Empire.

Lucky (2119 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: Boardwalk Empire
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Arnold Rothstein, Benny "Bugsy" Siegel
Additional Tags: Fights, Heroin, Drug Dealing, Murder, Epistolary, Historical, Historical Reenactment, Pre-Canon, Future Fic
Summary: Moments from a decades long friendship.

"Lucky" is a pre-show/post-show (before the show ended IIRC, lol) fic. I feel doesn't require canon knowledge to read, since it can also be seen as crime RPF.

I managed to snag a pinch hit for incapricious; because of the request, I wrote a main fic and a treat for them. The pinch hit was for Burn Notice:

The Attic (1027 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Burn Notice
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Fiona Glenanne/Michael Westen
Characters: Madeline Westen, Michael Westen, Fiona Glenanne
Additional Tags: Original Character(s), Backstory, Misses Clause Challenge, Guns
Summary: Hiding people in her home was nothing new for Madeline.

This is an action-based piece where Michael needs Madeline and her house to shelter a client with some added made-up backstory.

For the treat, I wrote a Revenge fic:

Frozen Memories (1004 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Revenge (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Emily Thorne
Additional Tags: Yuletide Treat, Misses Clause Challenge, Character Study, Attempted Murder, Minor Character Death, Animal Death
Summary: Emily has never had any use for pictures. Well, she thinks she doesn't have any use for them, since her memories are still faint.

A short character sketch of Emily.


I used season one and two canon for this fic. I based my fic off of a prompt from a ficathon and ran from there.

My last fic was a pinch hit for elyssblair, and it was for Beauty and the Beast.

Enchanted Life (1190 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Mrs. Potts, Chip Potts, Lumiere, Beast (Disney's Beauty and the Beast), Prince Adam (Disney's Beauty and the Beast), Babette (Disney's Beauty and the Beast)
Additional Tags: Backstory, Misses Clause Challenge
Summary: A day in the life of Mrs. Potts while she was an enchanted teapot.

This is a (mostly) pre-movie fic about Potts and some other enchanted objects at the Beast's castle. As long as you've seen the film, you're good.

I was so happy to snag this pinch hit because I love this movie so much, and so did elyssblair. I latched on to the idea of writing a day in the life of Mrs. Potts and ran with it. I thank anyone that commented or left kudos on the fic. I'm still grateful.

I betaed this Arrow fic for chosenfire, a gift for htbthomas:

A Kind of Partnership (5417 words) by Chosenfire
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Arrow (TV 2012)
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Laurel Lance/Oliver Queen
Characters: Laurel Lance, Oliver Queen, John Diggle, Felicity Smoak
Summary: When Laurel asked for Oliver's help she never expected the revelation that would come with it.

If there are any serious glaring mistakes, I was given and betaed this at the last moment and then told chosenfire to post the fic before the first major deadline and edit it later, before the collection went open. I'm sorry.

And the person who wrote my Luther fic is...rhllors.
