I wrote a little Merlin fic, it's un-betad and I wrote it in a couple hours. Hope you all like!

Title: What the Water Gave Me (It Saved Me)
Summary:
Merlin was social; it was just a fact, like the sky was blue or the Earth rotated around the sun. In the end though, it only took one interaction to land him in the path of the wrong person. Only one wrong step to wander into a trap he didn’t even know had been set.

OR the one where Merlin is a human and then a god and then something else entirely.

( What the Water Gave Me (It Saved Me) )

I was so bored at work today so I decided to make a crappy manip of Gerard Way as Hell Boy. That's normal right?

so I've become very lax in posting again. I know I made this whole I'm back announcement and now haven't posted anything. No one finds this more annoying than me. I will say that I've been busy, we just bought our first house! (picture below) So it's been a lot of stress and then packing and moving and now we're getting settled in the new place. But that's still not an excuse, I do want to post and I do want to start being part of this community again. So I'm going to start trying to post something every few days, with no longer than four days between posts. I'm not saying that I'm going to be posting fic every four days, because i have a full time job and a house to unpack but at least some thoughts and how my life is going.



I do have some fiction started. Both are Bandom AUs, sorry LOTRPS crew! One is a prequel to a story I started and never finished and the other is a Harry Potter AU. Both are My Chemical Romance and both are Gerard/Frank. I really like how both of them are going to far but I don't want to start posting until I finish them. I have a horrible habit of starting stories and never finishing them. I don't want to start off doing that again. If you're interested in being a BETA for my HP AU let me know, it's getting to the point where I need some outside opinions and guidance. Below is the banner for it.



Well that's all for now....

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

I now have Purple hair, that is all.

Inspired by my friend melanie_rocks I want to rename myself here. I've had this journal for over 5 years and I barely resemble the person I was then. Plus, I kind of came up with the name just to register and had assumed that I would change it soon thereafter. It doesn't mean much, I sometimes even think it's a childish username. The problem, I have no idea what to use as the new name....

OH My God. I hate moving. I always say that next time we're going to hire movers and we never do. It's like I'm begging for sore muscles and sweat drenched bras.

Anyway, we are moved finally! Yaye! We moved to Uptown Minneapolis, for those of you who don't know MPLS, it's a trendy area with tons of shops and restaurants. Plus an awesome commute to work. Our new place is great except it has no central air and it's 95 degrees today. But other than that I really do love it.

On a sour note, my mother is leaving my father, there's a lot of history and BS that I don't really want to go into. But in the end, it all amounts to the same thing anyway. Awkwardness. My Father and I are going to be the only ones left in the state. My sister moved with her husband to Virginia Beach (He's in the Navy.) and now my mom is moving to Kansas City, where we're originally from to be with her sister and her family while she formulates a plan. So my dad will be sad and alone and he's not really what you'd call a talker...so yeah it'll be up to me to keep him social with me and it's just going to be odd for a nice long while.

Blergh.

So I logged onto Live Journal today and realized that it's been over 2 years since I've been on for any discernible amount of time. I'd like to apologize first off, this community supported me at a time when nothing else in my life really did. Though I didn't write to much about my personal life, I really felt that logging onto LJ at the end of a long day on campus was like coming home. I let that go after something in my life went terribly wrong, I left it and went away without so much as a word. While I am very sure that was the best course of action for me at the time, lately I've been missing it.

You see I needed to leave, to get perspective and live outside of my own head. I was unhappy at the time and kept myself cooped up in my room trying not to pay attention to the things that were going on around me. It was too hard to look at, I was having to quit school due to financial stuff, dealing with depression and my family seemingly coming apart at the seems. So I had a choice to either stay in my head and not deal with reality or face it head on. So after a terrible hospitalization I decided to deal with it. I turned around and faced all the complete bullshit that was happening to me. You want to know the wonderful thing? I made the right decision.

I faced things and I came out the otherside better for it. If you knew me then you would know that my life is completely different now. It is utterly and completely unrecognizable, in a good way of course. Instead of coming home to my parents house or some room in a shared house on campus I come home to a two bedroom wonderful duplex in the heart of Uptown. I don't get lonely because the moment I get in the house I'm greeted by my hyper yet adorable, black lab/pit dog Azriah. (pictured below, isn't she cute?!) Who is constantly hounding (har har) me for affection.



I no longer work a crappy retail job, I actually have a professional 8-4:30 job making enough to support myself. I've even taken to wearing suits, which for me is really saying something seeing as I still have moments where I want to dye my hair purple. However, the biggest thing to change in my life by far is Mike.

I met Mike about a month after my last post here and I've not been able to stay away from him since. Mike is a handfull; he's social, opinionated, stubborn, adorable and an attention whore. He is also an amazing husband.




We got Married this last April and I have never been more sure about any decision in my life. He is a genuinely good person who actually cares about me more than he cares about himself. He makes me extraordinarily happy.




So that's a very short recap of my two years away, but now I'm back. I'm not sure in what capacity yet, as I find myself a lot busier than I used to be. I want to start writing again and I definitely want to start reading again. I've missed fandom like you wouldn't believe! This post is not about how getting away from fandom and LJ made my life better, it's about me needing a break and coming back better than ever! I am in such a better space emotionally and personally. I can't wait to dive back in, I hope I'm welcome...

Just thought I would update and let everyone know that I've been in the hospital for the past few days- I am fine and getting better but am unsure when I'm going to be released. I won't go into detail or anything just know that I'm out of the ICU and on my way to recovery- hopefully home soon and writing again.
