Welcome to a project I started to explain to my friend my type, which can be divided into four categories: - Wet Garbage - Dangerously Competent - Heart of Gold - Stupid Genius Feel free to use this and any other updates as a guide for requesting reader insert fanfiction over at @scarlet-streak-fanfics!

Is this how we find out Sherliam is canon?

Hey, y’all, it’s Merc with an update.

Let’s start with the nice stuff! Currently, I’m working on two big projects: a sports anime Olympics AU and a Soulmate AU base derived from the Red String of Fate that I’m going to write some fics in different fandoms to launch.

Now onto the less nice stuff. I’ve been considering something for a while, so now I want to ask y’all’s opinions. Would you prefer if I stay as a requests-based fanfic blog and add a very, very strict request blacklist or switch to a commissions (I’m thinking of starting at $1-$10 per fic, depending on length and content), my choice, and suggestions fanfic blog with a lighter blacklist. I’ve gotten way too many triggering or just uncomfortable requests where it’s obvious my boundaries, fandom, and ships masterposts weren’t read before requesting so I really need to make a change. Also, I’m a full time college student with absolutely no money, so I was going to start adding a Kofi link for tipping anyway. This would just be a way to guarantee you’re getting what you want.

#merc talks #merc updates #you all have been genuinely great! #I just feel like someone should pay me if they’re gonna trigger my ED lmao #or ask me to write really uncomfortable ships

I found your ao3 while looking for Barbatos fics

Oh god pls no why /lh

I should really add to my AO3 though. However, right now I’m just trying to get myself to write things again. Right now, I’m super duper into sports anime, so I’m making one of those dime-a-dozen Olympics AUs so all my favorites can interact. I might try to post some little one shots for that and see if that stirs up any drive to write.

However, if anyone here has any ship fics for one of the pairings on my list, I’d really like to get non Reader insert requests for a little. That’s honestly 90% of the reason I stopped answering requests—reader inserts take a particular mood for me.

Big question.... Will you ever continue your selfless mc head canon? I'm really stuck on it you sorta left it on a cliffhanger with the datables reactions... I see you haven't updated in a month so I'm not sure this will even reach you. And if you're burned out and taking a break i understand that. If so take care of yourself!!!!

Hello! I’m very much here, so it’s time for an update!

I’ve made it through my grieving process, but I’m still having some health issues. Outside of my job and school, I haven’t been able to write in literal months. Once I get myself back in the swing of things, I’ll try to update selfless MC. I do kinda dislike the stuff it brings to my inbox though, so that’s part of the block there, honestly.

Not sure what Bungo stray dogs is, but if you want tell me your head cannons

Hiiiii, Lena! Ok, ok, ok, I’m gonna explain. Please note that I haven’t been able to read the manga yet so I’m workin’ on super duper loose terms. So, in the most basic form of explanations, BSD is a mafia vs. detectives anime featuring superhumans called Abilities users. These Ability users are named after/based on famous authors, particularly from Japan, although there are some American authors (the Guild) and European authors (mainly Russian and French), and their abilities are based on a work from that author. For example, John Steinbeck’s ability, Grapes of Wrath, allows him to grow grapevines which can be grafted to other trees and people. There are multiple different organizations in the world, but the Port Mafia and Armed Detective Agency are the two major ones at the start of the story--PM acts as the evil, ADA as the good. It’s more complex than that, but that’s the easiest way to explain the whole thing without writing pages and pages.  So, for my little OC, I came up with a character called Mercury Gray, since that’s my writing pseudonym, with the ability “Uriel and Eden’s Gates”. I’d consider her part of the ADA, maybe post-Guild arc since that opens up American Ability users coming to Yokohama. The ability itself is like a watered down version of Light Snow (which projects illusions) and Demon Snow (an armed spirit). It causes a hallucination of the victim’s greatest desire (Eden’s Gates) and then a small spirit manifestation that renders the victim unconscious (Uriel, the Guardian of Eden). Only the victim and the ability user are able to see the hallucination, and Uriel is incapable of killing the victim. The key to Eden’s Gate is that it digs into the victim’s deepest subconscious desires, so what they see might not be something they’re even aware they want. Overall, the character is an optimist who wants to solve problems with as little violence as possible. I also have an idea for what that ability might have become in the Port Mafia, but I like this version best. I know it’s probably a little Mary Sue, but I tried to keep the character balanced and not super OP. I actually wanted to write a series about what each character’s Eden’s Gate would be, so if anyone is interested in my take on that or would like to submit your own ideas for that, please do!

Calling all Bungo Stray Dogs Fans

If anyone wants to drop some authors into my inbox for me to make character headcanons for (or some fanfiction writers want to give me one of their fic titles or quotes to turn into a character) I’d really like to do that. I’ll even start off with my own character that I’ve been cultivating using the quote “Uriel and Eden’s Gates” from one of my fics.

Please remember to tag me @i-prefer-the-term-antihero in your posts to make sure I reblog them!!

Feel free to tag @phmonth2022 as well, however, that blog has been having lots of technical difficulties of late, including not notifying me when I'm tagged. So tagging me personally is more important!

I think it's also important to note, I also have a sideblog that is purely for Pandora Hearts and Vanitas no Carte content @this-idiots-left-eye, where I always reblog the stuff from this blog. You may not see my reblogs from the phmonth2022 blog on your feed, so make sure you follow that blog. If this blog truly no longer works on a technical level, in the future I may end up using it for Pandora Hearts and Vnc events.

Please also tag your posts with #vncmonth22 in case I miss an @ tag!!

Don't forget to either put a link or a "read more" on long fics (or long posts in general), so it's easier to reblog!

I finished the entire main story last night... Help me... Anyways I’m thinking of doing a 6+1 for the Guide Sorcerers, with each of them getting a section where they could have told MC how they feel about them and then the last one being where all of them were obvious and didn’t have to. However, I’d have to Canon Divergence to make an ending. I have ideas for this now, I just hope they work out. Obviously there will be spoilers for Stages 1 through 10

Just me crawling out of my depression...

Have any Obey Me fans that follow me tried Arcana Twilight? I want to write stuff for it now, but I feel like my return to posting fanfiction should be stuff people want to read.

Can I request about Chrollo Lucifer (he is the character from HunterxHunter)? It's about his younger sister (I always want him become my brother so 🤣). He receives news that his sister has suddenly gone missing (she accidentally traveled to the origin of the Chimera ant event, most likely she was captured by them or worse). What will he do? Thank you for reading!

Hey there! Hunter x Hunter isn’t on my fandom list, and I haven’t watched it. So sorry! 😅

[Untitled] Pt. 5 (1.1k words)

Back on my Sherliam shit, enjoy.

William had long ago given up on God–too many prayers unanswered, and too many run-ins with devils. He was, after all, bound for Hell, no matter what anyone else said. Louis and Albert had quickly given up on convincing him otherwise, as had each member of his team in turn. The only person still fighting him was Sherlock, the very man that Liam intended to damn him in the end.

Sherlock continued to vehemently argue for Liam’s goodness, how nothing he could possibly do would be enough to make him evil in the detective’s eyes. It made the nobleman sick to his stomach to hear those words, but Sherlock was too stubborn to drop the topic without hearing Liam’s crimes, and William would never allow that. Most days, at least. Today, the two of them had gone drinking to celebrate Sherlock solving a particularly difficult case that, for once, was not connected to the Lord of Crime’s activities–Sherlock had drunk more, leaning slightly on Liam’s shoulder for support on their way back to 221B, but Liam is definitely drunk enough to feel the effects. His chest feels slightly too warm and his thoughts a bit too sluggish, hands lingering longer than he knows they should as he settles Sherlock on the couch and brushes the long, dark hair away from those beautiful blue eyes.

He should feel ashamed of himself for letting these feelings get away from him–a condemned man doesn’t deserve this kind of love. But, when Sherlock grabs his wrist, murmuring something about him “not leavin’ me, please, Liam,” he knows that he’s a goner. So, Liam sits down and allows Sherlock to pull him almost on top of the other man. The detective swings his own legs up on the couch, tangling their legs and wrapping his arms around Liam like a child clinging to their favorite toy. He allows Sherlock to bury his face in the crook of his neck, each warm breath from the detective tickling his skin as the nobleman’s nose is filled with the familiar scent of cigarettes, alcohol, and the cologne that Liam had gifted him. Unfortunately, in his comfortable, drunk state, he also allows his thoughts to slip out into the open. “I do not deserve you, Sherlock.”

The reaction is immediate–Sherlock pushes himself so they’re both sitting upright, with the detective holding Liam up and slightly away from him to look him in the eyes. “The hell’s that s’posed t’mean, Liam?”

William takes in the slightly unfocused gaze, slurred words, and the strong smell of alcohol on his breath and decides that, for once, he’ll be honest. Sherlock won’t remember any of this in the morning and, from the fact that he’s even considering this, Liam hopefully won’t either. “Sherlock–”

“Sherly.” Liam smiles in spite of the seriousness he’s trying to show as he takes over holding up his own weight, hands planted on the couch cushions on either side of the detective to prop up his upper body. Sherlock’s insistence on the nickname intensifies the warmth in his chest. However, almost as quickly as it came, that high of affection crashes. “You wouldn’t still want me to call you that if you knew what I’ve done.”

Sherlock’s brow furrows, his lips almost forming a pout. “Not true.”

“Are you sure? Could you still care for me if I were to confess my sins to you?” There it was, the crux of Liam’s fears. Would his angel of penance and light turn his back on William upon seeing the blood that stained the nobleman’s hands? Despite all his promises and insistence, could Sherlock truly love the Lord of Crime?

“Liam?” The gentle call pulls the nobleman back to the present, where Sherlock is studying his face through half-closed eyes. One calloused hand comes up to cup Liam’s cheek, thumb brushing away tears he didn’t know were building up in the corner of his eyes. When he speaks, his words are shockingly clear for his inebriated state. “There ain’t a sin great enough t’make me stop lovin’ you.”

And isn’t that just a knife to William’s heart? Once again, the words slip out before he can stop them. “Even if I’m the Lord of Crime?”

He doesn’t want an answer to that question, he realizes, as the panic starts crashing in. Sherlock is too good of a person for his response to be anything other than William’s worst nightmares, and he doesn’t want this moment of security and comfort to end like that, with this illusion of affection crashing down around him.

The last thing he expects is Sherlock’s lips pressing against his own, warm and slightly chapped. It’s clumsy and chaste, and Liam doesn’t doubt that this is probably Sherlock’s first time kissing anyone, but it’s perfect and grounding and exactly what Liam needed. When Sherlock pulls away, leaving the nobleman slightly dazed, he kisses Liam’s cheek, just next to his ear. “Even then, I promise.”

There’s no way of knowing if Sherlock even processed William’s words or knows what he’s promised, but that means less than nothing to Liam right now. He buries his face in the detective’s shoulder, his own shoulders shaking with repressed sobs as he collapses against the other man, feeling one of Sherlock’s arms wrap around his waist as his free hand smooths down the nobleman’s silky, blond hair. If he could, he’d stay in this moment forever, Moriarty Plan and Lord of Crime be damned. If he could, he’d be Liam forever, leaving behind the life of William James Moriarty and dedicating himself to being the man Sherlock thinks he is. He knows somewhere deep in his heart that, if it were possible, he’d follow the detective anywhere, do anything he asked, as long as it meant they’d be together. But he can’t–that, after all, is what makes Sherlock so dangerous. With the right words, he could tear down everything William had sacrificed for, and Liam knows that Sherlock can never know that. For this plan to work, the detective must send the Lord of Crime to his grave with these declarations of love and devotion unspoken. The most he can do is return the kiss that the detective gave him and then some, murmuring his own love between each one as he tangles bloodstained hands in dark hair. It’s a futile, almost laughable attempt at conveying how important Sherlock’s words are to him, but it’s all Liam has.

William had long ago given up on God, but he still prays to whoever’s listening that he’ll be able to remember this in the morning–the feeling of being safe and loved even with his sins laid bare.

I reblogged this on the wrong account, but it’s fineeee. Boosting for the new fandoms and the fandoms on the list I desperately want to write for.

Hello and Welcome!

Hi, I’m Merc! This is gonna be the obligatory master post where I link to other master posts in order to save space combined with specifics of what I write!

I’m comfortable doing headcanons, imagines, basically any type of short requests. I also write fanfiction of all kinds–most of what I post is Reader Insert, but I do occasionally do shipfics, AUs, and more plot-heavy stuff. You can find my boundaries for requests here!

Here are fandoms I’m confident in writing for! (I’ll add hyperlinks to masterposts for each fandom as I add things to each, but they’ll also have specific tags)

Obey Me: Shall We Date? Vanitas no Carte Yuukoku no Moriarty  Bungou Stray Dogs Marvel (Almost all properties) Star Wars (Especially SWtOR) Undertale (AUs too) Sisters Grimm Harry Potter Overwatch Ben 10 Arcane

There are probably others that I’m forgetting currently, so you’re welcome to ask if I’m comfortable with a particular fandom.

Anyways, list under the cut, I’m sorry in advance, please don’t judge me too harshly, and this list will be updated as I remember the characters I’m in love with.
