So I just had a thought

What if supernatural creatures don’t exist anymore? What if they did once, but through the years, they slowly mixed in with humans?

You can see the blood of fairies in the way a ballet dancer hovers in mid air before he or she hits the ground. You can see it in the way that middle school girl never forgets when someone makes her a promise. You can see it in how that one little boy in the kindergarten class seems more comfortable in the forest on that field trip than the others.

You can see the blood of dryads in hikers who never trip over roots. You can see it in that suburban grandmother never lets any of her garden die. You can see it in that one kid who climbs a tree faster than his friends, barely looking at the branches as he goes.

You can see the blood of naiads in the way a professional swimmer seems to command the water to help them. You can see it in how a cross country runner needs a water break more often than his teammates. You can see it in the way that one girl in your class always has a water bottle on her desk.

You can see the blood of mermaids in a surfer who can be tossed around underwater for a long time without drowning. You can see it in a teenage boy who doesn’t have to pretend to be unbothered by the pressure when he races his friends to the bottom of a swimming pool. You can see it in the little girl who wades into every stream she sees on a hike without quite knowing why.

You can see the blood of sirens in people who never have a problem with getting people to date them. You can see it in that soprano who can hit notes most of her fellows can only dream of. You can see it in the camp counselor who all the straight girls have a crush on, who can play guitar and sing better than any of the others.

You can see the blood of shapeshifters in the way an actor adjusts their personality to become their character with scary accuracy. You can see it in the subconscious, barely noticeable changes a tween girl’s eyes make to match her outfit better. You can see it in the way you always lose that one friend in a crowd if you’re not careful, because he’s just too good at blending in.

People who carry the blood of werewolves don’t change with the full moon anymore, but you can still see it in the way your best friend always knows something is wrong, though even they don’t know they’re smelling the changes in your body chemistry. You can see it in the way that one guy always seems to eat more than the reasonable amount of red meat at an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can see it in the way that one werido never has a problem when the teacher turns off the lights before a PowerPoint presentation because her eyes adjust quicker and better than yours.

The blood of supernatural creatures may have mostly faded away. But if you look closely, you can still see it.

How's guns and roses?

Completely stalled. I haven't had muse or inspo for a while now. I considered a rewrite a while back but combing through and rehashing a 100k word fic isn't something I have a whole lot of time to do in my life as of this moment. Would y'all even want a rewrite? Or just a continuation?

[masterpick]

Absolutely.

Me, shopping for clothes: But would Aèd wear this?

VALID

I hope you buy the clothes if you think Áed would wear this.

A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”

And, like a fool, you give it to him.

All the group genderbendered XD

Are you ever going to update Guns and Roses? It's one of my favorite stories I've ever read, and it's been over a year since the last chapter.

Hi! Do you follow on AO3 or FFN? I posted something new on AO3.

subway employees when i tell them i want a sub:

[masterpick]

You still active?

Somewhat... :P

[masterpick]

Hey there what’s the name of the military AU fic you wrote? I’ve been wanting to read it again but can’t find the name of it

Guns and Roses. It's on AO3 and FFN. I'll link it when I get back to my computer. You may want to start past chapter 5 though. Pre chapter 5 is..... Not good. Not good at all.

What ships are you against?

Any incest is a no, huge age gaps are a no, and I generally don't ship anyone with Ruby unless it's a setting in the future or some kind of AU. Not comfortable writing Tauradonna.

Ever thought about opening writing commissions?

Well, sure! I'd think about it. I'd be very selective about what I'd take, but why don't you go ahead and send me a DM to talk about it?

[masterpick]

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

beauty and the beast crossover!

Everybody should know by now that the scene in the trailer where Weiss gets her scar is literally my favorite scene in RWBY.

“I’ve pulled myself together now, my mind and heart are one.”

i mean if we’re being absolutely, 100% objective about it all, THE best greentext story is “you know how it is with spaghetti”

GnR Reading

Hey y'all, so... I was thinking about doing an author reading of Guns and Roses at some point in the near future on Twitch or something... Would anyone be interested in that?
