My fellow Kingsman fanfic readers!!!

Marvel at my fortune!

For I spent the evening with not only one... but TWO of the best Kingsman fic writers! Eggsyobsessed and Zebraljb of AO3! I fangirled SO hard! Admit it, you’re jelly, aren’t you? I picked their brains for all their Eggsy, Merlin, and Harry goodies. It was glorious.

First of all, wtf? I was not expecting to get any questions. Second, thank you dear, I was in the mood to share and you've given me a great excuse. 24. Have you ever considered getting a tattoo? Short answer is, yes. Long answer because this is what I'm in the mood for is I currently do not have any tattoos but I've been thinking about getting one for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted something on my shoulder blades, something natural looking in a realistic style that would cover my shoulders and go down my upper arms.

These days, I'm not as in love with the idea of getting a big piece done but for a few years now I've been thinking about getting a swimming mermaid on my under boob, with intricate lines but minimal shading. I got a general idea of what I want and my tattoo artist is willing to design it for me so all that's missing is my willingness to actually make an appointment and make it happen, which is honestly, the biggest impediment in me getting a tattoo.

31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

I am obsessed with the OC I created for Screaming Silence, Adella.

Adella is Merlin's deaf niece with an attitude problem. I based her looks mostly on myself, but she has more piercings and her hair is a dark emerald green.

I wrote her and her twin, Sebastian, as a way to show deaf Eggsy that there is no one/right way to be deaf, and to show both Eggsy and my readers that you don't have to struggle with something in order to be a part of a certain community.

I haven't gotten this far yet, but just know that the first time Adella meets Harry Hart, she gets bored and has her hearing aids off, so she starts looking around the room and inspecting his decor, which Harry is all for... until he clues in ti the fact that she can't hear him.

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

When I get a comment that quotes a part of my work I instantly turn to mush.

Like it's just one of the best things. I love it so much. It can be a single sentence or an entire paragraph and I'll just freak the hell out.

Here dearling, sorry for the way <3

76. Top Of Head Kisses

Even though there is a perfectly good couch less than a meter away from them, somehow, they’ve ended up sprawled on the floor.

Not that Merlin is surprised. It’s usually what happens whenever he stays for a nightcap at Harry’s. If one can call most of a bottle of scotch shared between two a nightcap. Which Merlin chooses to do. It’s not like there’s anyone to contradict him right now.

Well there’s Harry, but for one, he’s the one who insists on calling it that way as if it makes it any more proper and for two… Well, for two he is in no state to argue anything.

“You’re heavy,” he pushes against Harry’s head half-heartedly, knowing from past experience there is no moving the man now that he’s settled for the night. At least Merlin managed to nabbed a cushion before they made it to the floor. When exactly that was however, he cannot tell and to be honest, he can’t be bothered to try to remember. As long as his head is not laying directly onto the hard floor.

Harry mumbles something, probably in protest to Merlin’s calling him heavy, but the words are too slurred by both alcohol and sleep to be intelligible. He does shuffle around until he’s got an arm thrown around Merlin’s waist and their legs entangled and while it doesn’t make him in any way less heavy, it’s not uncomfortable either. It’s a bit like having a warm weighted blanket on him.

Harry hums a sound of vague enquiry which Merlin only understands thanks to the five years he’s spent as his primary handler. And while he would do without the constant worrying when the man is on mission, he’ll never complain about knowing him so completely, especially not during those rare moment of intimacy.

He raises his head slightly until he can feel Harry’s hair against his lips, smiling into the curls. He likes it better that way, when Harry doesn’t try to tame every aspects of himself.

“Yeah, you’re good now. Sleep.”

Harry sighs with what is obvious contentment, the hand over his waist searching blindly until it grasps Merlin’s.

Merlin links their fingers together and presses a last kiss on top of Harry’s head before lying back down on his cushion.

He's broad because sometimes we need it.

I love both, but you know I had to go with the second! Thank you!

“It’s too soon!” Eggsy wept, ready to pull the twins back.

It was their first day of school, both eager and ready to run up the narrow drive to greet the teacher.

“Hold it ye two.” Merlin placed a large hand on top of two, identical heads of curly brown hair. “Patience,” he reminded them.

Liam twisted against the restraint, ice blue eyes glared up his way, as Lola huffed, crossing her tiny arms like this was the biggest inconvenience. He shook his head fondly, if they weren’t just like Eggsy and himself.

“Papaaa,” Lola whined. “Wanna go!”

“Yeah!” Liam agreed with his twin.

“Don’t ye two want to say goodbye to Daddy?” As if his words were a catalyst, Eggsy started to sob. Big, fat tears rolled down his cheeks, like this was the end of the world. And maybe it was to his husband, but Merlin saw it as a bit of freedom.

They’d worked their arses off to give the kids all they didn’t have and despite conversations that revolved around the twins in school, it appeared Eggsy still hadn’t let go. It was hard, he knew that much, ever since they were born Merlin knew how much this little family meant to his husband, and him too, but it was time.

“They’re only going for half day, Eggsy.” Merlin whispered into his ear.

Eggsy waved his hands and squatted to face their little loves. “You’re gonna be good, right?” Both little heads bobbed. “I’ll miss you.” His lip wobbled as he scooped their bairn close.

Merlin might have snapped a few photos, he knew Eggsy would appreciate it, and broke the trio when a bell rang.

“We can’t let them be late on the first day, lad.” He coaxed Eggsy into a soft kiss, and took Liam’s hand as Eggsy took Lola’s.

Together they brought them to their assigned class, making sure they were okay and didn’t need them, before they left. Eventually Merlin had to drag an almost inconsolable Eggsy to the car. 

“My heart,” Merlin cooed. “They will be okay.” He sealed his words with a firm kiss.

Eggsy hiccuped, still distraught, against the affection. “What if they get made fun of? Got two dads...no mum. What if the other kids are mean and pick on Lola because she’s needs her pacy at nap time? What if Liam has an accident...” He trailed off, breaking down into a fit of wet, gulping cries that broke Merlin.

“Oh, lad.” Merlin leaned over the shifter to hold Eggsy in an awkward embrace. “They’re in a room full of 3 and 4 year olds.” Not that he had a ton of experience, outside the twins and that said very little since they damn near killed one another on a daily basis, but he tried to comfort his husband anyway.

“Kids are mean, Hamish! They could pull Lola’s hair...eat Liam’s snack.” Eggsy dragged the back of his hand under his nose, causing Merlin to shudder.

“Aye, they are, but luckily we’ve done all we could to prepare them? Strong, tough willed wee things we have, aye?” Their babes fought for their lives from day one, surviving surrogacy, being born two months early, and still managed to excel and be the smartest little humans Merlin had ever seen. A biased opinion, to be sure, but they were just four and got into school with no problems.

Eggsy nodded at that, sniffling hard, and worked up enough to give Merlin a wet smile.

“There’s my lad.” Merlin ran a hand through Eggsy’s hair. He gave him a sound kiss, returning to his seat proper, and started the car. “How about breakfast and a bit of shopping? Ye can get outfits for the twins.”
