I’m slacking on these post posts but here is a link to my [community profile] unconventionalcourtship fic:

You Can Find It on Craigslist (1020 words) by merryghoul
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: World Wrestling Entertainment
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Rhea Ripley/Shirai Io | IYO SKY
Characters: Rhea Ripley, Shirai Io | IYO SKY
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Magic, Witches, Craigslist, Movie Night, mentions of other wrestlers, Movie: Terrifier (2016), Mild Gore

Summary: Iyo Sky is in a precarious position for a witch--isolated from her coven and regretting a lot of her choices. Keeping herself from her sisters is the only way she can protect them from a threat only she knows is coming. Iyo bides her time until she's able to distract herself with a job offer from Rhea Ripley. Handsome, surprisingly sweet and filthy rich, Rhea needs Iyo's expertise. Spoiler alert: The solution is almost always late night snacking and smooching.

I wrote this for [community profile] unconventionalcourtship and I'm not satisfied with it. I was all set to write a pirate AU but duh, merryghoul, searching for Age of Sail research in a short time frame isn't going to go well. So I went with "merryghoul revisits 2019-20 WWE...again." Don't worry, I'm not doing every wrestler that was active in WWE from 2019-20.

Over the summer I hope to expand this fic using an old [community profile] femslashficlets table while pondering what I might do with Iddy Iddy Bang Bang, if anything at all. I had this idea but I have no idea if I'm going to do that one idea. Probably will write down all my ideas. Anyway,

Title: Kabuki Girls
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: WWE
Pairing/Characters: Asuka/Kairi Sane, Paige
Rating: Mature
Length: 1378
Summary:
Asuka has a long way to go. She's got a fresh start playing in SmackDown's women's tag team division, but getting her wrestling career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. She's got to shut her past out and focus. On the matches, not on her new teammate, a recent call up from NXT with a sunny disposition--and annoyingly distracting good looks.

All Kairi Sane ever wanted was to fight on the main roster, and she's not going to waste one single second of her time on SmackDown. Exercise keeps her head in the game. But her teammate keeps knocking her off track. Maybe it's just that Asuka's been grumpy lately. Or maybe it's something else, something Kairi doesn't have a name for yet.

Asuka and Kairi spend all their time together--in the ring, in catering, in hotels--and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn't making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a fling into forever would mean facing the past--and redefining the future.
Notes: Summary is from Game Misconduct by Ari Baran.

Title: Wish Upon a Moon
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: WWE
Pairing/Characters: Shayna Baszler/Becky Lynch
Rating: Mature
Length: 1000 words
Summary: On a moonlit night, Becky Lynch, Raw Women's Champion, wishes for "something" to end her loneliness. She has no idea that her wish would summon Shayna Baszler, a striking, otherworldly wrestler whose sensual touch brings Becky more pleasure than she has ever known. In the morning, Becky is sure the erotic encounter was simply a dream—until she starts seeing Shayna everywhere she goes…
Notes: Summary based on Bitten By Desire by Marguerite Kaye. Also for [community profile] femslashficlets, prompt Be Careful What You Wish For (for the Fairytale Tropes table).

merryghoul: v in pink dress, desaturated bkgnd (villanelle)
Title: Reluctant Villanelle
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: Killing Eve
Pairing/Characters: Eve Polastri/Villanelle, OFCs
Rating: Mature
Length: 1867 words
Summary:
The dress they’re returning isn’t fake—it’s deadly

For contract killer Villanelle, the anonymous threat is explosive. Return the dress stolen during her last assignment—or other assassins will be hunted down. When an assassin is killed just before meeting MI5 employee Eve Polastri, Villanelle must take Eve under her “protection.”

For a psychopath, Villanelle is the most guilty-acting innocent woman Eve has ever seen. Still, working with Villanelle is the only way to stay ahead of a ruthless enemy. And as Eve’s instincts and Villanelle’s skills hone in on the truth, trusting the desire simmering between them could be their only chance—or the last move they’ll ever make.

(Summary modified from the summary of Reluctant Hero by Debra Webb and Regan Black.)

Notes: Contains mentions of the ending of Season One and has sexual content (no sex) and minor character death. Story will probably not adhere to canon when Season Two finally airs.

merryghoul: River closeup (River closeup)
It is midnight my time, but there's a baseball game I'm watching that doesn't end until around 1 AM, and I decided to just go ahead and post my [community profile] unconventionalcourtship fic to the comm already.

Title: Fugitive Pilot
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Pairing/Characters: Heather ("The Pilot")/Bill Potts, River Song
Rating: General Audiences
Length: 3338

THE BEST WOMAN...IN EVERY WAY

Watching her potential girlfriend constantly ask about leaving her surroundings is Bill Potts’ worst nightmare...until she and the would-be girlfriend are kidnapped by River Song. River knows a sentient creature wants Heather Carew out of the picture. Until River can get them all to safety, all that stands between Heather and fusion is canteen assistant Bill.

Moments away from unintentionally fusing with a sentient creature, Heather's life is turned upside down. Now the woman she's always considered her new friend has transformed into some kind of sexy special agent. Bill is prepared to do anything to stop the creature and secure Heather’s safety. But who's keeping Heather’s heart safe from Bill?

(Summary modified from Fugitive Bride by Paula Graves.)

Notes: Longer notes on AO3, but in short, this is a canon divergence AU set during "The Pilot."

merryghoul: clara ashildr 2 (clara ashildr 2)
Title: Return of the Immortal Viking Woman
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)/Vikings (TV)
Pairing/Characters: Ashildr | Me/Clara Oswald, Harald Finehair
Rating: Mature
Length: 2261
Summary:

The Immortal Viking Claims Her Wife

Clara Oswald was giddy when she married her friend Me. But fearless raider Me has been gone so long, Me's proud arrogance is the only memory Clara retains of her. Now Clara must remarry to protect her TARDIS.

But then, on Clara's wedding day, the conquering warrior returns to gasps of horror and surprise! After all, Me was supposed to be dead, though to Clara's starved gaze Me seems very much flesh and blood...and less than impressed to find her beautiful wife intent on marrying someone else!

Notes: Fic based on the summary for Return of the Viking Warrior by Michelle Styles. For [community profile] unconventionalcourtship and [community profile] seasonofkink (square: hurt & comfort). Fic contains some references to The Legends of Ashildr, but you don't need to read that collection of short stories to understand what's going on.

Title: Fiona's Confessions
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul

Taking her case is an easy but dangerous decision for Jesse. Together they must race against the clock to find the real killer, who now wants them both dead. More dangerous, however, is their sudden, reignited passion. Jesse will do anything for a second chance with Fiona…while she'll do everything to keep the secret she never wants him to know…

merryghoul: ichabod (ichabod)
Title: A Radiant Heart | AO3
Author: [personal profile] merryghoul
Fandom: Sleepy Hollow (TV)
Pairing/Characters: Ichabod Crane/Katrina Van Tassel (Crane), Alfred Knopp
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences (for mild body horror)
Length: 2094
Summary:
Ichabod Crane has pushed it too far this time. Gnawing and clawing at his soul are the demons he carried back from his quest into their land. Weak and exhausted, the dark witch gazes down a road at his only hope--a lone vehicle with blazing headlights. Desperate, he makes a mad dash for the light, and the striking woman illuminated in its wake.

Katrina Van Tassel senses him before she sees him. The good witch with emerald eyes and fiery red hair has never dabbled in dark magic. But one look at Ichabod turns her life upside down. Soon Ichabod is lured into his dangerous world...and his powerful arms. A few sultry kisses are not enough to save Ichabod from his demons--it's going to take some seriously potent sorcery. And they're running out of time.
Notes:
Summary adapted from the back cover blurb from the Harlequin Nocturne novel This Wicked Magic.


Apologies for any typos and the like--I'll get to them as soon as I notice them.

I'm thinking of doing a remixed expansion of this fic in the near future, but I wouldn't hold myself to my words.
