[epicmoonintensifies]

Hey girl, im assuming this is a dead blog, but incase it's not, I wanted to say I loved reading your RWBY stuff, I dont see alot of just the male characters of the show, I especially cant find anything for qrow but I might not be looking in the right place😭 but I also hope your doing well as in some posts I saw that your unwell, so really hope its gotten better or at least more bareable to live with. Again love the stuff and hope you are well❤️

[epicmoonintensifies]

Just wanted to let you know I come back an re read the lucky ones all the time and think your work is great thank you for taking the time to write!!

Thank you so much! I'm glad that people still read my stuff, especially The Lucky Ones. It's one of my favorites.

[epicmoonintensifies]

You write qrow really well!

Oh, thank you! I love Qrow to death. I'm really hoping to get back to writing soon; it's been impossible to get much done since my laptop died on me.

[epicmoonintensifies]

If you are moving to ao3, can you still take requests on here? That site has no PM feature

Oh yes! I don't know if I'll publish both there AND here because tumblr is getting reeeeaaaal annoying for me, but I will at least leave asks open, talk to you all, and post links when I fill a request/post a fic on Ao3.

[epicmoonintensifies]

Hello, hello (^^ ) I'm new to this blog and have been reading quite a few of your works while I was scrolling down the rwby x reader tag. I hope that you are doing well and are taking care of yourself! Your writing is absolutely beautiful <3

❤🤍❤🤍❤

[epicmoonintensifies]

hi, how are you? hope everything is ok

Everything is not okay, but I'm learning to live life again anyway, and that makes it better. 💙

[epicmoonintensifies]

Hey just wanted to know how you're doing

Nearly dead but not actually dying. Thanks for checking on me after such a long silence.

[epicmoonintensifies]

hello! just checking in again to ask if ur ok :) hope you have a lovely day if you see this!

I'm alive! And it seems I'll keep being alive for long enough to write more imagines.

[epicmoonintensifies]

I was starting to get a little frustrated with some of the asks in my inbox until I realized that I had made the mistake of posting the rules for prompts in the "rules" section... but not in the "prompts" section. I will need to fix that! But here's something for those of you who might not have read the rules:

Please be specific about what you want. And by specific, I don’t mean you have to be detailed. Just more specific than “anything with that character!” and we’ll be fine.

Send me the prompt you want with the character you want it with. Do not send the number of the prompt. Please copy and paste the actual full sentence so that I can see exactly what you want. There are multiple prompt lists, and those lists change because I occasionally update them. If you just send "#7 with Ozpin," I will have no idea which prompt you're talking about.

What have I not been asked for?

This.

What am I doing???

… This.

Have some Qrow Relationship Headcanons, Part Two!

🖤

Okay I said he wasn't a big crier but let me clarify something because by some standards, he really isn't, but comparatively–

(Listen growing up in the tribe + the anxiety he developed from dealing with his semblance combined into a trainwreck of emotional processing issues, so he very often struggles to cry when all he wants to do is have a breakdown, but–)

He sniffles and tries to hide tears when it's not the time for this, dammit, but the second he's alone with you it's big fat tears and heaving sobs against your shoulder and shaking so hard and for so long that he's wrung out and lethargic for the rest of the day because he has such a hard time crying that when he finally gets to, it's like a dam has broken.

He brings you shinies that he finds. Not any shinies, not foil wrappers and coke cans, but brass buttons and lost earrings and colored glass and anything that catches the light that is also interesting, and you can use them to decorate or craft into something else or keep in a jar because these are tokens of affection but also evidence of his funny little bird habits that he denies having, ha

Speaking of which!!!

N E S T

"I'm not actually a bird; I don't nest," he says, building a nest, which he will nest in.

Soft things soft things soft things, all together, meant to be a safe soft space, the places where The Best Cuddles happen, just hold him there until he doesn't feel like a mess.

Play. With. His. Hair. Pls.

He wants to feed you let him feed you. Or at least let him pay for the freaking pizza, okay, it makes him feel good about himself.

Nobody messes with you, because everybody knows about Qrow. Just saying.

Mmmm ravens and crows both mate for life and that translates in his human brain much more strongly than anyone would guess.

He's gonna keep you, he has too, he's never been this close with anyone before and he doesn't know how the hell he's supposed to let go if you ever decide that this isn't working out–

(There's a ring in a box that he's too scared to touch, so he waits and he waits and he hopes that you might bring it up first because how is he supposed to be braver than the knot of fear in his chest?)

He can't fly with you so he settles for a fast drive on a country road with the top down so that he can feel the wind on his face while you're by his side, but he'd do anything to give you a chance to fly.

He's good at fixing things because he was so sick of breaking everything around him and you can feel it in the rough calluses of his hands, where the work was put into making himself dangerous and effective and efficient, but he's so gentle when he touches you that it takes time for you to get used to it.

He sees you holding Yang and Ruby, tucked in at your sides, and he melts buttery-soft around the edges.

The girls adore you and end up in your house a lot because apparently anybody who can get Qrow to be a sober, not-entirely-depressed person is the responsible babysitter version of the "It's free real estate!" meme, according to Tai.

(Hey guess what, Qrow's semblance doesn't act up as much when he's emotionally stable! Who would have thought!!)

But you embrace your role as the fun aunt and treat Ruby and Yang like the darlings they are, recruiting them to help you make sweets or cheer Qrow up or play very, very important games of hide-and-seek.

He is big spoon. He is little spoon. He is whichever spoon. Pls, spoon. Big spoon kisses and nuzzles the back of your head and plays with your hair and holds you. Little spoon holds your hand and curls up against you like he wants you to squish him down small.

Let him spoooooon.

Play fighting. Play dancing? Both? Maybe. Hard to tell.

Sings. Hums. Catches little bits of birdsong while he's in one form and translates them into something comprehensible when he's human. Mostly for you.

Ohhhhhh boy does he dote on you when you don't feel well.

He might tease you a bit at first when he thinks you're just being a wimp, but if you're actually sick or hurt or on your period, he is Nurse Qrow, to the rescue.

I'm not saying that he's good at it, I'm just saying he does it.

He tries.

He can bring you water and cuddle you and make sure you're comfortable but all the food is gonna be takeout and leftovers because he doesn't trust himself to boil water, okay. His semblance isn't trustworthy and he won't tempt fate with chicken noodle soup.

You don't "go out" on dates very often because it's safer to keep Qrow in a space that you've sort of baby-proofed. You have mastered stay-at-home romantic dates, and Qrow actually loves them because he's a sap and also because dinners by candlelight and making a blanket fort and pretending it's a movie theater is… well, in the tribe, romantic pairings were a battle. This is so different and, quite frankly, the height of romance, as far as Qrow is concerned. He's convinced that you're spoiling him.

So he spoils you in return, but the the ring in the box burns and he can't stand not knowing–

He cuddles and kisses and hides his blush against your neck as he tries to find words but can't, so he just pulls out the box and hopes that you'll understand when the ring inside gleams and glitters in the dim light all he can bear to say is, "Please."

[epicmoonintensifies]

Okay I just??? While I'm awake at 2 AM I need to! Need to give @knightofreaders a shout-out because she reblogged most of my Ozpin and Qrow works forever ago and actually made comments and said what she liked about the stories and reminded me of why I even write imagines and what I want to make people feel. So thank you, hon. Whenever I feel like I should give up because I'm too tired, I reader your reblogs, and I write just a little more.

[epicmoonintensifies]

hi! you haven’t posted in a while; just wanna check in and ask if ur okay

❤❤ I'm alive! Barely. Illness has started to affect my ability to sleep, so chronic insomnia and exhaustion have been added to the checklist of things I have to learn to live with. But I AM learning and I am very eager to come back to doing regular activities, like, ya know, writing.

[epicmoonintensifies]

Hi! I know it says in your bio that requests are open, but are they? I just want to make sure before I request anything! Dont want to bother with it if they aren't!

They are! Ask away?

[epicmoonintensifies]

If you are moving to ao3, can you still take requests on here? That site has no PM feature

Oh yes! I don't know if I'll publish both there AND here because tumblr is getting reeeeaaaal annoying for me, but I will at least leave asks open, talk to you all, and post links when I fill a request/post a fic on Ao3.

[epicmoonintensifies]

This is also acceptable. Hit me with it.

Lingering Feelings, a Prompt List

1. That one glance between you two that says it all.

2. Eye contact that lasts longer than 6 seconds.

3. Trying so hard to keep those feelings in, but finding it so difficult.

4. Friendship is more important...right?

5. "I can't even look them in the eye without blushing."

6. It's been years, it really shouldn't be there, but it is.

7. Now they were appearing in each other's dreams.

8. Terrified to even say hi because you'll stutter and stumble over your words.

9. That little flutter in your chest when they do something cute.

10. You miss them even if it's only been minutes since you last saw them.

Soulmate AUs

People seem to want Soulmate AUs but aren’t sure what kind they want, which makes things a bit difficult for me (vague requests aren’t fun to fill), so I have scoured Tumblr and created a list of fun ones to give you all some ideas.

A pair of soulmates share a mark that is unique to them.

(Variation) When you first see your soulmate’s mark, you feel pain in the same place where the mark is until you seal the soulbond through touch.

(Variation) You have a mark that reveals something important about your soulmate’s personality, but only they will recognize it when they see it.

You dream of your soulmate, but can’t clearly see their face or hear what they say to you.

(Variation) You and your soulmates share dreams, but much like real dreams, you can’t control what happens.

(Variation) You hear your soulmate’s voice in your sleep, but won’t necessarily remember what they said when you wake up.

(Variation) You dream of whatever your soulmate is experiencing from their point of view, but only if they’re awake while you’re asleep.

(Variation) You dream of the way you’ll meet your soulmate, but it won’t make any sense until it happens.

You share skills and talents with your soulmate, but you’re not aware of this until you try something new.

The first words your soulmate will ever say to you is printed on your skin somewhere.

You have any bruises or scars that your soulmate has.

Your soulmate can see anything you write on your skin.

You can transfer some or all of your soulmate’s pain to yourself.

You can sense where your soulmate has been - for example, if they walked down the street, and you walked down the same street a few hours later, you would be able to follow their trail.

If you listen, you can hear your soulmate’s heartbeat. The closer they are to you, the louder it gets.

You see in black and white until you meet your soulmate.

(Variation) You see in black and white except for one color - the exact color of your soulmate’s eyes - until you meet your soulmate.

Everything your soulmate thinks about you is printed on your skin. The stronger the thought is, the longer the mark lasts.

You have a “heartsong” - a song that only you know and only your soulmate can sing along with.

Everything your soulmate ever calls you (your real name, nickname, a pet name, a not-so-complimentary word), is printed somewhere on your body.

You have multiple platonic soulmates and one romantic one. The names of your platonic soulmates are printed on your skin in silver, while the romantic one is in red.

You can sense your soulmate’s emotions. The stronger the emotion, the harder it gets to distinguish from your own.

You immediately know your soulmate through skin-on-skin contact, but not before. If you meet them without touching, you would never know they were yours.

(Variation) A mark appears wherever you touch your soulmate for the first time, marking them as yours and vice versa.

Soulmates are assigned by the government.
