Get to know me - Sticky post

Hello!

Quick resumé: I am old-ish (but young at heart), silly (but slightly twisted), positive (but terribly cynical), ruthless (but usually forgiving), geeky (but woefully ignorant), and in complete awe of anyone who can draw/paint/write with talent.

Oh and I'm patient. Like, wind erosion patient. 😅

My handle: Saladscream - many people have been curious about whether it stands for 'salad's cream' or 'salad scream' and the answer is here. 🥗😱

Some of my stuff:

Merthur fics

My Merlin Bingo 2025

Dear Diary series

Tableau series

Manips (NSFW pieces)

Little flecks of light series (gifs)

What Merlin are you today?

What Merlin are you today? - Alternate Persona edition

Feel free to interact with me! Fandom sometimes depresses me and I need enrichment. 🥺

“No!” Jesus Christ. Merlin – hot, naked and willing – in Arthur’s arms for one whole night?! Hell no. “Absolutely not,” Arthur repeats more firmly. Just the mental images are enough to make him feel shaky. And hard. And terrified. “Why not?” Merlin’s voice is low and deceptively reasonable, and it penetrates Arthur’s defences like a smooth, sultry knife encountering stupid, helpless butter. “I’m not that repulsive,” the seductive turniphead argues. “Oh shut up.” Arthur is so very cool with his life right now. So very fucking cool. But the dumb, pathetic truth is that, to Arthur, Merlin is everything unrepulsive. From the tips of the tousled raven hair to the oddly graceful feet currently telegraphing their misguided interest, there isn't a thing that he finds objectionable. From Merlin's quirky dark humour to his caffeine addiction to his chronic inability to say no, everything about him feels hideously attractive to Arthur. “Then why not?” Merlin asks.

Tiny excerpt from the WIP I'm tinkering with at the moment. It's the sequel to The Lies We Tell 😅
