Why this must be read:

I’m not especially comfortable promoting my own projects, but seeing as two of the very rare Merton/Lori-centric fics on the internet are mine. . .

After the events of N’Sipid (evil alien boybands, crossdressing, the usual), Merton and Lori bond over nail polish. Decidedly silly, but I had a lot of fun with the dialogue:

    "How does it feel?" Lori asked.

    Merton blinked in surprise and Lori wondered how long they had been sitting in silence as her thoughts roamed. "What? The nails?" Merton asked. "Weird, but," he brought his hands up and curled them into claws before his face, "strangely empowering." He set a snarl into place and rrrRRow-ed deep in his throat. "Bet I could even take TnT out with these babies."

    "I wouldn't suggest it," Lori said firmly.

    Merton sighed mournfully. "I suppose not. I'll just have to rely on you to defend my person." Merton lifted his eyebrows in what Lori had come to realize was his meaningful-(but-not-really-serious) expression. Merton rounded his eyes earnestly. "You will defend my person, won't you Lori?”
