Love of everything infinite and loud.

There have been some new friends adding me recently (♥), so I feel obliged to introduce myself officially. :D

Hi!

Fandom: My name is Lizard (for all intents and purposes) and I love drawing fanart. :D I started out in Harry Potter fandom, spent several years wallowing in the joy of little gay wizards, and then I meandered into various other fandoms as the mood struck me.

My masterlist of fanart can be found here, and my inventory of collabs and gift fics (♥!) can be found here. The vast majority of my stuff is HP - particularly Snape/Harry! - but there are various pairings/threesomes/etc there, as well as some het and gen (inorite? Gen, wtf).

At present, I'm active in BBC Merlin and Star Trek IX, with a toe still dipped into HP. Merlin/Arthur and Colin/Bradley all the way \o/ but in Trek, everyone needs to have sex with each other. Don't deny it, you know it's true.

Fo Realz: I am 23 years old (soon to be 24 on January 1st! Yes, that is in fact Colin Morgan's exact birthday, you can congratulate me later) and I live in London. My major time-suck in life is my Medical degree, which I am 18 months away from completing (holy shit D:) after which I will be responsible for people's lives and stuff. No pressure or anything. >__>

Other things to know about me: I'm Bengali, I'm teetotal, I'm Muslim. Whatever puny nuggets of free time I get, I spend drawing fanart or reading fic. I mention this because, sadly, I often do not have the time to reply to comments. :( However I read them all with much gratitude and glee, and if you actually have a question of some sort for me, I won't let that go unanswered. ♥ (unless I forget, in which case, please prod me again!)

Journal: When I get the chance, I post fanart. In between art posts, there will be the odd anecdote about Medicine, Merlin episode reviews (except no more til next September, WOE!!), and other generally worthwhile things that pop into my head.

You guys: So :D Introduce yourselves! I'm honoured that you've friended me, and I hope you'll find my future journal posts interesting. ♥

Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: NC-17, NWS!
Notes: You know how good it feels to have no worries on my mind, to feel free to sit at my laptop for several hours and draw inexcuseable porn for the sole purpose of self-gratification?

REALLY MOTHERFUCKIN' GOOD, THAT'S WHAT. 8D

I present to you: Fun with Jim and Bones. No references. Time taken: 3 hours.

Goodnight, flist! ♥

Hurrah!! So my camelotsolstice gift fic was posted earlier this week, and I didn't even realise because my flist-checking regularity has been simply atrocious lately, and BOTH the mods had to go and poke me towards it. xD

Oops.

However! It was a lovely read, once I got round to reading it. Solid characterisation, with a slow-build plot that takes the boys on an emotional journey that is multi-layered and fraught with angst for them both. It's magic reveal, which I am a HUGE fan of, and I think the author has dealt well with Merlin and Arthur's spectrum of feelings and attitudes. Also, a GREAT supporting cast, particularly Morgana. :D

And just so you know, there is a delightfully satisfying happy ending. :D

Go read! I hope you all enjoy. ^_^

Title: Last Stand
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot
Pairing: Kirk & Bones
Rating: G
Notes: Okay, so. startrekbigbang came and went, and sadly I didn't have the time to read any of them. :( And then my exams were finally over and mijan prodded me to read her Big Bang fic And All The King's Men, a Kirk/Bones BFF angstfest. I've actually been in the mood for angsty BFF Merlin/Arthur fic, and so this Kirk/Bones one seemed just what I needed.

And, oh my god. It's heart-wrenching, you guys. I am a huge fan of hurt/comfort and angst and complex psychological character development and multi-layered relationships. And this had all of that, as well as an amazing plot with drama and danger and action. I even started crying in a couple of places, and that's something I rarely do. The writing is crisp and sharp and I gobbled all 63,000 words of it in two days.

So in honour of that fic (and to exercise my drawing muscles!) I drew this. :D

( last stand )

My last few days, let me show you them:

Thursday: Agonising exam results day, very bad for my blood pressure no doubt. Had celebratory fish and chips with my family afterwards and ate WAY too much. :9 Mmmm.

Friday: Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Careers day at the Royal College Of Surgeons. Mind blowing and amazing, but I have been scared off for good. With an 80% rejection rate (80%!!!!), it's just not worth pinning my hopes on such a nebulous dream. Especially when I don't particularly like surgeons. xD

Career advice #1: Hating your potential colleagues in your chosen field does not bode well for future psychological integrity.

There was this precocious little twerp at the careers event - still doing his A-Levels, but has decided that Plastics is the way to go. Which, fair enough, go him. I admire dedicated ambition. We were talking about med school (since he's going to start next year) and he asked me whether I had a degree already (which I would have done, except that part where I failed two years in a row xD).

AND THEN, he was all like, "Ha ha! No degree! That's not good enough to get into plastics! Ha ha, just kidding."

...Yes, thank you, you priveleged little worm, for pointing that out. What the fuck! I don't even know where these people come from. In what universe is it appropriate to say such a thing to a total stranger!? One who was giving him advice too, the little shit. >:0

He will probably end up as a really successful surgeon, too. *rolls eyes* The horrible ones always do.

Saturday & Sunday: Super-intense revision weekend at the Royal Society of Medicine (I love living in London! All the awesome places are so near!) which was really worthwhile but mentally exhausting. I ended up having to miss out on TWO Christmas parties because of it *sadface* but I'm glad I went.

Although I did pop by the merlin_london Christmas party for a couple of hours in the evening, but honestly I think I was rather terrible company, what with my brain being stuffed with cardiology, urology, renal medicine, and vascular diseases. xD

Monday: A whole day at uni to discuss post-graduate applications for foundation doctor jobs. *wibbles* Very scary! However, I have renewed hope that I will not be carted off to the furthest reaches of Scotland for my first job, as I feared. It seems a large part of the med student ranking is based on an airy fairy personal statement about reflection, professionalism, cultural diversity, and such like.

The academics in my year hate it, but I am delighted. xD

Today: Another day at uni to discuss electives. Very exciting! I don't know if I've mentioned it on LJ, but :D in Autumn 2010, I will be heading off to Kansas City (in the vicinity of mijan and fiona_fawkes! ♥) to train in the hospital there for 2 months, in a specialty of my choice.

So excited!!!! :D

Next year: I'll be starting Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Infectious Diseases next.

Cunts, cocks, and the clap, oh my!

GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS.

I PASSED. QUITE COMFORTABLY AND NOT BORDERLINE.

MOTHERFUCKING YES.

*beams hugely* I'd been revising consistently for a month, trying to catch up with my fellow students, and I've been in constant agony that I wasn't good enough. And although my module grades from my consultants were encouraging, it didn't feel like a true assessment of how I was doing compared to others

UNTIL NOW. SWEET CONCRETE VALIDATION. ♥ ♥ ♥

I still have a long way to go - I was placed in 3rd quartile - but I'm just so damned happy that I am on the road to recovery, as far as my academic record goes. I know that I didn't work as much as I *could* have, and with that knowledge comes the realisation that I actually have the brains to get EVEN better marks.

What dya know, studying consistently DOES make you smarter. xP

OH MY GOD. YOU GUYS. YOU GUUUYYYSSSSS. :DDDDDDD

I have just recieved my happy_trekmas giftfic. It's the first Trek fic I've read in MONTHS (been too busy and also overwhelmed by Merlin) but HOLY CRAP YAY. :D I am excessively delighted with this fic - it's funny, interesting, cohesive, with spot-on character interactions very reminiscent of the New Trek film. One True Team!

AND not to mention the set-up and development of the Kirk/Spock. Hilarious and in-character and just so much damn FUN. Kirk's interactions with everyone were basically brilliant, and every character had their moment to shine and throw out some killer one-liners. xD

Best of all, the sex was like, totally hot. >__> I have a massive kink for Vulcan finger sensitivity, and uh yeah. VERY NICELY DEALT WITH in this fic, for srs. Yesssss.

In conclusion: I had my last exam today, and this was an EXCELLENT post-exam treat to munch on. I can't wait to find out who wrote it, because I'm seriously COMPLETELY delighted with this fic.

Go read now!!
