Written for Round 1 of the Harlequin Big Bang over at story_works. Inspired by the following prompt: “Character A is a famous pirate captain. His only goal in life: revenge. He wants to ruin to man who ruined him. One day Character B falls into his hands. He’s the son of the man he’s sworn to ruin. During the next weeks and some difficult situations, B feels more and more desire for A. Will he be able to make A forget his revenge or will B even help him?” Of course, my mind immediately went to our favorite cop / thief duo, though this time, the tables are a bit turned ;) Enjoy!

Warnings: Character Death(s), Graphic depiction of violence, mention of rape (of a female character) and of implied underage rape (of a male character), Period-typical racism, sexism and homophobia

Not betaed at the moment, and still in progress. I will add chapters and fix those already posted as I get them back from my lovely beta sherylyn.

Summary: She might have inherited a lot of his features, but this one talent she definitely has from her mother.

Notes: Short story in my Allison Caffrey Chronicles, written for Challenge 08 “Writing Pass It On” and the prompt “Robyn – Dancing On My Own” over at gameofcards

Summary: Neal didn’t just do that, did he?

Notes: Written for challenge #6 “AO3tags” over at gameofcards. While there was literally a ton of tags that appealed to my muse, I finally settled on those from Feb 27, 2017. Title comes from a movie with Kirsten Dunst and means (according to urbandictionary) "Archaic 1920s American slang that in various contexts refers to one or more of "excellent", "stylish", or "impressive to the ladies"." Rated M for a reason (naughty boys!), peeps! Enjoy!

Summary: Phil invites Peter to S.H.I.E.L.D. Command when Neal and Clint are on a mission.

Notes: #6 in my “The Archer & The Con Man” series. Set about six months after “Meltdown (Of My Life)”. Written for Challenge #2 “Break The Ice” over at gameofcards, using the prompts “break the ice”, “right as rain”, “calm before the storm”, “on cloud nine”, “take a raincheck”, “under the weather”, “fair-weather friend”, “head in the clouds”, and “lightning fast”. The handset that is used towards the end is based on the one Tony uses in “Civil War”. Enjoy!

To be honest, free rounds in 20in20 challenges and I have kind of a love-hate relationship. On one side, I love them, mostly because I don't have to stick to one character/person. But on the other side, they're always the hardest to put together. This set here, made for the current round on tvcharacter20, was no exception to the rule XD But I succeeded, and I invite you to a little journey through my personal TV land. Enjoy!

Some characters in TV shows are just too irresistible to ignore (and not to icon) - Dean Winchester is one of them, any of Chris Kane's another, and then there's this absolutely charming, drop dead gorgeous, yet a bit dangerous con man that we all know since October 2009: Neal George Caffrey.

Thanks to the screencapping talents of my dear friend kanarek13, we are blessed with gorgeous HD caps of every single episode - which translates to an icon maker like me as a wealth of material to work with. Thanks, hon, for providing so much gorgeousness!

This batch was made for Round 74 over at tvcharacter20 and as a birthday gift for our lovely bear pooh_collector. Hope you have an awesome b-day, hon, enjoy!

Summary: In the wee hours of the night, a new father has a one-sided conversation – and kind of an epiphany.

Notes: Written for Round 5 of runthecon and tjs_whatnot’s prompt “Silver Lining and Gold Dust Dreams”. Set either in an AU after Season 4 or post-series. Title comes from an old song by F.R. David. A belated birthday gift for my dear friend kanarek13. Enjoy!

Now that Phase 9 of gameofcards is over, I thought it would be nice to show you all the various artworks I've done for the challenges. A phase runs approximately 3 months and is filled with tons of fun! (you'll never believe how much creativity is hidden in yourself!) Warning: IMAGE-HEAVY!!

Sigtags

You need these little beauties whenever you post a response to a challenge. It's helping the mods to keep tracks of your participations (and in case you post to the wrong team thread). See them as kind of a business card, telling everyone which team you're on.

( Sigtags Galore... )

Icons

( Iconing around the fandoms... )

Graphic Mix

( Fanart, Icons, Sigtags... )

Special - Joker Challenge

For this challenge, issued by our awesome mod kitty, we had to spread our wings (so to speak). There were games (like doing a labyrinth, finding words, do a quiz, a puzzle, or coloring a page), we had to post screencaps, do icons, sigtags, and last but not least, one big graphic - with all artworks somehow linked to the landcomm's general theme of card games.

( A bunch of handsome guys... )

Team Battles

Next to the regular challenges, that are open to all members of all teams, each team can issue a so-called "battle" in order to get more points (most likely to happen among the first two teams). Usually, these battles are themed, but what you do with that theme, it's solely up to you.

( Battlegrounds this way... )

Fanfiction

As a writer at heart, I can't resist writing challenges ;) So, next to the graphic challenges, I also wrote several stories for this phase:

( Writer's Digest... )

If you have any questions about a challenge, how gameofcards works, or about any of the artworks above, just drop me a PM or a comment ;)
