It's been quite a while since I updated this one and it's time to also reorganise it to make it easier to see what kind of fanfic it is. I'll sort them into the main categories that I have now: multiple chapters, series, one-shots and collections.
You can find me on AO3 @Meabh_Maeve

Rangerâs Apprentice
Multiple chapters (more than 7 chapters)
Jailbuddies in the past (on hiatus) #
Disclaimer: the OC's in this fanfic belong to me and @araluenrangerdangerâs. Using them without our permission wonât be allowed.
Tess and Lynn decide to spend their holidays in London after taking their exams. Two girls, a beautiful city and lots of things to do and see. But not everything always goes as planned and they're in for the journey of a lifetime. Not just figuratively.
The Legend of the Protector (in progress) *
Disclaimer: the OC's used in this fanfic belong to me. Using them without my permission won't be allowed.
There are lot of legends in Araluen, yet one is only known by those who are chosen to become a Ranger. Little is known about âThe Protector of the Corpsâ, only that they will appear when Araluen is in great danger and when the Corps is at the brink of falling apart.
A war is approaching in the Kingdom of Araluen. The once so powerful and feared Ranger Corps has been turned into nothing, the true Rangers being chased away or even executed. Crowley and Halt have come up with the plan to reform the Corps, but help is needed. Theyâre going around, looking for the remaining Rangers who havenât left Araluen.
On their travel across the country, they get entangled in strange events. Not only are they on a mission to reform the Corps, the Rangers also have to find out what's going on.
Remember when... (in progress) *
Disclaimer: the OC's used in this fanfic belong to me. Using them without my permission won't be allowed.
Every year, all the Rangers come together for the annual Gathering. Besides training, exams and the other things they usually do, they love to tell their stories. It could be about the renewing of the Corps, a funny action of an apprentice or how he tricked his mentor. Some have been told over at least a hundred times, others are brand new. Every evening thereâs time to tell them, but the most stories will be told at the Story Evening, the evening before the big feast which marks the end of the Gathering.
In this âRemember whenâĻâ collection, I will write a hundred stories using the 100 themes challenge with the use of a number generator.
There will be funny ones, but also some with angst, fear and other feelings. The stories will be about different characters set in different times: Halt, Will, Horace, Alyss and everyone else. They'll all have a story to tell. Sometimes together with others, sometimes about themselves.
Tales over coffee (in progress) *
A collection with stories from a long time ago, the past and present. Stories that have crossed the sea to Araluen and even some untold stories of never mentioned characters. Shifting from the timeline (as much as we have one) from The Early Years, to Ranger's Apprentice and The Royal Ranger, as well as Brotherband Chronicles and my own OC's.
In "Tales over coffee" I collect all the stories that are inspired by @theraven-gil-lyn RA prompt list for the Ranger Gathering 2022.
Credits to @araluenrangerdanger for helping with the title <3
Multiple chapters (less than 7 chapters)
The Crown Prince and the Apprentice (in progress)
Disclaimer: @araluenrangerdanger is the one who wrote this once in this post, so credits to her for the outline of the story. I was given permission to write it out.
What if Halt and Crowley already knew each other long before 'The Hibernian'?
In this AU, Halt goes to Araluen with his father to participate in some meetings and attend the moment Hibernia and Araluen make a treaty.
At the same moment, Crowley and Pritchard arrive at the castle. Pritchard has his own meetings and leaves his apprentice alone. He gave him the instruction to behave and not to cause any trouble. Of course, he can't stay out of trouble. Or, as he always says, trouble finds him.
The only time Halt was surprised (completed) *Halt/Pauline
Pauline has been dealing with some sickness for a while. After a talk with her husband, she decides to visit the healer again. However, she gets news she hadn't thought off.

What have I done? (in progress)
What once started as a one-shot with Crowley feeling guilty for what happened to Will, turned into an idea to add more chapters around this. Not only Crowley felt guilty after learning what happened in Skandia, but quite some more persons as well.

"He's fairly brilliant," Sir Gerron admitted. "You might consider enrolling him with MacNeil soon."
Sir David rubbed his chin. "He's that good?" Almost eleven, Gilan had been in basic training for around a year and a half. His son was undoubtedly skilled, but training with a master swordsman at such a young age was a rare occurrence.
However, Sir Gerron replied without hesitation. "He's that good. Has the potential to be one of the best." (Chapter 1, Snippets by TrustTheCloak on fanfiction.net)
âItâs alright, buddy,â Will said gently, reaching out a steady hand. âI can get you down no problem.â
âYou s-sure?â the boy stuttered where he clung to the tree a few inches above Will. âOnly, I climbed up fine, but getting downâI, I canât. It looks far.â
âIâm positive,â Will said firmly. He smiled conspiratorially. âIâm like a squirrel when it comes to trees. Unstoppable.â
The boy was startled into a laugh, and after another momentâs consideration, he reached out and let himself be pulled into Willâs arms and wrapped himself around the Ranger tightly. (Ranger's a-Census by Polarbears_at_lunchtime on ao3)
The mission reports that have come in this week are dull, but thereâs always the chance of more trouble, so Crowley sits down and aims to get the responses back as soon as possible. He presses the heels of his palms to his eyes, taking a deep, shaky breath. The beginnings of a headache have started to form, and that is definitely not what he needs right now.Â
Later, heâll blame his distraction for the way he doesnât notice the other presence in the room, for the way he jumps when a Hibernian-accented murmur comes out of nowhere.Â
âRough day?â And Cailleach, Crowley knows that voice, would know it anywhere. He can hear the hint of concern underneath the amused tone.Â
âHalt.â He sighs. (from, Halt by quextionmarks on ao3)
â... Iâm sorry for climbing â I really thought I could do it. But I was lucky Crowley came along and caught me. I wouldâve been stuck if he hadnât come through the forest.â
âI wouldâve come to get you eventually,â Halt acknowledges distractedly as he takes leaves out of Willâs hair. âBut you can always trust Crowley to get you out of a tough spot.â
âYes,â Will agrees, looking at the red-haired man walk away, mumbling to Cropper. âI know I can.â (see the lightning in your eyes by mipmap on ao3, part 3 of 'Uncle Crowley' series)

You know what I wonder â where do the Rangers find their apprentices? I mean we know how Halt found Gilan and Will but you could say both were found quite by chance. But how do the others find them? I mean do they round up all the boys in every village and town and test their marksmanship measure their height and weigh them? :D
It happens from time to time that people living in the same house meet in the hallway. This occured to Gilan and Will one evening, while both were getting ready for bed.
Halt was still working overtime, Crowley upstairs in the living room enjoying a good book and Horace was doing... Horace things in his room.
Either way, it just so happened that Gilan and Will opened their door almost at the same time, while Gilan was singing and looking at his phone. They acknowledged each other's presence in silence, before Gilan kept on singing. Well, it was hard to call that singing, because he just sang one line the same way over and over again.
"Why are you singing only 'Children laughing'?" Will chuckled.
Instead of answering, Gilan kept repeating that two word sentence, before approaching Will at increasing speed. The younger brother's reaction was, naturally, fleeing towards the bathroom.
"Stay away from me, creep", Will laughed as soon as Gilan caught up to him. While Gilan stopped chasing Will, he certainly did not stop chanting.Â
After a short moment of not so careful consideration, Will decided to join the chanting. However, instead of repeating 'Children laughing', he repeated 'You better watch out' while getting more high pitched with every loop.
Satisfied with the sound mess formed, Gilan headed back in the direction of his room.
Unfortunately, it was at that moment that Horace decided to leave his room, ending up in between the two chants.
Without commenting, he looked back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, before starting to bop his head while singing 'And we drank too many shots' over and over again. Thus completing this deafening mix of incoherent chanting of off-key notes.
Even more unfortunate was that after a minute or so, Halt came home. As he unlocked the front door, he was greeted by ear-murdering sounds. Either unable or unwilling to process this, he froze with his hand still at the door handle.
Gilan, who stood closest to him, started smiling and walking towards the front door, Will and Horace following suit.
Not in the mood to handle this, Halt simply closed the door again, before opening it a second time. Seeing that nothing had changed, he closed it again and started calling Crowley, who picked up almost immediately. He didn't greet him, but Halt could hear the 'singing' over Crowley's end.
"Could you please exorcise whatever is happening in our hallway?"
Now, what neither Halt nor the siblings knew, Crowley had walked to the top end of the stairs to see what was happening. But after being horrified by the chaos that had ensued, he had remained there, silent, praying not to be noticed.
However, Halt calling him had given him away. The ringing of his phone, albeit short, had immediately caught Will's attention, who was standing near the foot of the stairs now.
Upon noticing the newcomer, Will started smiling brightly before yelling "Crowley" unnecessarily high pitched.
That was all Gilan needed to join the new messy chant as well. Now all Halt heard over the phone were three chaotic variations of this new call.
"Halt", he heard Crowley say over the mess after a while, "Halt, I can't take this."
"Crowley, no. Whatever you're thinking, don't. Make them stop, somehow. I can't lose you to this ear-murder too. Don't, Crowley."
"Halt?"
"Yes?"
He heard Crowley inhale deeply. "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine."
In the background, Halt heard the other three cheering loudly before resuming the previous chant with new-found energy. For his own safety, Halt hung up the call after this betrayal, seriously evaluating his options.
Crowley: What on earth happened to you over there?!!! Gilan: *gestures to Will and Halt*
Gilan: Do you want the short answer? Gilan: *puts arm around Horace*
Gilan: Or the tall answer?
sometimes you create an OC for a fic because you just need a random person to fill a certain role in the story and no canon characters will work. but sometimes you think about it too much and then they become A Real Character. then you better watch out.

You know how in the fifth royal ranger book it says that Will knows that Halt cuts his hair with scissors and is just really bad at it, and it says that living with Halt for five years he obviously would have figured it out? I want to know the exact moment he found out.
It also says that he had sworn to keep Halts secret but I'm willing to bet Halt threatened him into it

I'm gonna talk for a minute. I have an idea.
Ok nobody can convince me that they have never bitten their mother
just for fun. So hear me out, what if we made Will or Gilan do that to Halt and see how he reacts? Like Halt would be standing at the stove cooking eggs or something and Will just decides to nom down on his arm. I think Will would get whacked on the head and threatened with a night in the tree.
A very gruff caregiver who pretends he doesn't care, but is absolutely a massive softie for you. Will firmly deny this if anyone asks.
Lets you steal his cloak to use as a security blanket, and secretly thinks it's adorable.
Is surprisingly good at getting a little one to bed, and will let you curl up in his bed with him if you really can't sleep. He's a wonderful lullaby singer, but almost never does it around people.
Speaking of singing, talks to you a lot in his native language when he's taking care of you. He enjoys getting to use it and finds that it soothes you a lot.
You are absolutely not allowed to have coffee when you're little, but he'll make you a mug of warm milk and let you put honey in it just like he does with his coffee.
If you want to burn some energy, he'll take you for a ride with him on Abelard or have you help him clean the cabin. Works like a charm!
Makes you little toys out of leftover materials from making arrows and such.
Sometimes will tell you stories about his life in Hibernia - which he wouldn't usually talk about, but he's weak for you being cute. Even if he does roll his eyes and sigh when you ask a million questions during those stories.
Just because he's short doesn't mean he can't and won't pick you up! He's certainly got the strength for it. So he's more than willing to scoop you up if need be.
Tries to be stern and set a routine for you when it comes to stuff like meals and baths and bedtime, but can be pretty flexible if need be.
