protocol kappa for the ask meme please :D
Send me the name of a fic I wrote, and I’ll give you five facts/headcanons about it!
Protocol Kappa (Men in Black)
This fic took shape when I told @tsilvy that I'd had a dream about Kay sleeping in the MIB office, and she said that made her think of him snuggling with a teddy bear. The next thing I knew we were talking about alien teddy bears and the oneshot I'd planned was turning into a 5+1. :D
Section 3 of the fic is my favourite; Section 5 is a close second, and it took the longest to write.
I sometimes like to think of my narrative voices in terms of what I call the fuck ratio. It varies from canon to canon, and depends a lot more on the vibe of canon than on how much swearing there is onscreen in canon. Mission: Impossible, for instance, is hovering close to zero so far, and my main WIP for The Fugitive has two, but this fic has five instances of 'fuck' in 9156 words. 😂
I did a Whole Fuck Ton of research into cephalopod biology in order to create Lady Lilac, whom I still adore. She has multiple nautilus-like cirri/tentacles on each hand, and that dexterity makes her pretty much the best damn surgeon in the galaxy. She's also run the MIB medbay since Kay was in his late teens, and is one of the few people there who refuse to take his stoic bullshit.
This fic has not one, not two, but THREE amazing pieces of companion art! One by @vegetarianvampireduck , here, one by @agentmm-mib , here, and one by @hallulawy , here :D
