Harm/Mac moments:

baby deal, 4x23 (what the fuck are you guys doing)

end of embassy 4x02 ("we should go out more often"?????? they look gorgeous??? what are you guys doing)

noodles scene, 8x02 (i'm not sure why they are like this but they appear to be flirting over chinese takeout while also acting like they've been married for ten years. cc @odakota-rose)

mistletoe kiss, 7x11 (their stupid smiles when they're talking beforehand???!!!!! shut up and kiss!!)

omg this is an AWESOME question. i struggled so hard with it but like. it was a good struggle. also the honorable mentions section hit like 15 fics and i had to cut it down.... *sobs*

i forgot how much i love making fic recs. it was my entire personality for a while. answering this ask made me want to bring that back tbh

Revisionist History by Penny Proctor, Star Trek: Voyager, Janeway/Chakotay - my favorite fic of all time, scratch that, one of my favorite stories of all time, fanfic or otherwise

A Wing and a Prayer by Aerogirl, JAG, Harm/Mac - again, so good it could be published, amazing casefic that doubles as a shipfic by one of my two favorite JAG authors

Null and Void by manette, JAG, Harm/Mac - my favorite baby deal story by my other favorite JAG author

Xanadu by Spiletta42, Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack - i had to put an SJ fic on here and it was suuuuuch a struggle to choose which one I wanted but this one has everything and makes me melt every time so it wins. rip Spiletta

Time Well Spent by Emily Waters aka @missparker, RPF, RDA/AT - this fic is gorgeous and breaks my heart and is singularly responsible for my (now) well-developed RPF brain, i adore it

honorable mentions because i could not pick just 5:

2001 by salr323, SG-1, S/J

Time and Distance by northernexposure, Star Trek Voyager, J/C

This Masquerade by lauraloo, JAG, H/M

Back Steps by coolbyrne, NCIS, Kate/Gibbs

i am so sure i am going to think of at least 5 fics that i missed and yell about it ten minutes after i post this. anyway, @ anyone reading this: go leave some comments on your favorite fics or something <3

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HI HI HI HI HI

I want you to know that this ask pulled me out of a funk I've been in for....six hours? THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK THANK YOU FOR THE DOPAMINE

Gunny and Tiner my babies!!!! I love them 🥰 Tiner is a saint and I love how he always has AJ's aspirin for him 😂 and Gunny!! My Marine baby boy! I need him to make more squid jokes and bond with Mac.

Season 9 is....rough. As you probably already know Harm/Mac is an OTP for me and...welp.

Anyway, lovely to meet you and thank you again for stopping by! If I have Gunny or Tiner thoughts I'll definitely send them your way :)

P.S. @odakota-rose LOOK OUR NUMBERS HAVE GROWN (from 2 to 3)

thank you for the asks @kitain!!!! love youuuu <3

1. if you had to dye your hair, what color would you pick?

ooh. i have very dark hair and i wouldn't want to bleach it, so maybe like a dark red/burgundy or blue? i could def go for deep red or blue highlights! (not both at once tho lollll)

3. favorite scent and why?

the scent of the ocean 🥹 smells like home

7. describe a dream you had recently

oh man. i think i'm known through several fandoms for having batshit dreams. uhhhhhh my dreams have been mostly anxiety ones recently, welp.

oh! i did have a fun one! a few days ago i had a dream that i was eating at a restaurant that had a conveyor belt sushi type of setup, except it was american food? and then the dream transformed and the restaurant became some kind of castle/museum situation and i had to....like...adequately rap enough songs from hamilton in order to leave the restaurant/castle/museum. it was wild.

also, this wasn't recent, but i can't let this question go by without mentioning the dream i had years ago about being in a book club with val kilmer where the topic of discussion was tom cruise. one of the funnier dreams i've ever had

10. dream pet?

i'm a firm believer that truly exotic animals should not be pets. (obvs bearded dragons, parrots, etc are fine. i mean the actually exotic animals.)

i want a dog!! i have too many chronic illness flareups and not enough energy for one right now, but someday! oh, i would also love to have a medium-sized saltwater aquarium with corals and fish, which is much more difficult than the dog tbh lol.

OOH GREAT QUESTION

Fair warning most of my arthurania knowledge is just influenced by my love for the squire's tales series, which is written by a Gawain fanboy lol, but it's SO FUNNY AND GOOD. Alas I haven't read it in years so I've forgotten all my knights. Um. Anyway!

Gawain!

Kai/Kay

Arthur (is this cheating)

Gaheris

Lancelot

Thanks for the asks bestie!! 5 is hard lol, I feel like any answer I could come up with would be so fandom specific.

7. Your favorite ao3 tag

Mutual Pining. Or Fake/Pretend Relationship (see below lol)

10. Top three favorite fic tropes.

Fake married/marriage of convenience!

Cohabitation (like. "platonically." I didn't put forced in there because I think it's way funnier if they choose it, like "this will totally work out even though i'm secretly in love with this person!!!")

Fake dating. Similar to #1. The mutual pining!!!! Getting what you want but not the way you wanted it!

17. Past or present tense? Why?

Both! If I'm intentionally choosing I usually go with past tense, just because sometimes I use turns of phrase that seem to only work in past tense/I can't work out a present tense alternative? But if I'm chatficcing in present tense and it's long enough to become a real fic I will just leave it in present tense lol. I write so little I cannot afford to be picky lol.

33. Give your writing a compliment.

I can be funny sometimes!
