Okay I'm finally writing this out. I did it once before and the app glitches and deleted the whole thing and I just haven't felt like redoing it but it is time.

The Piece of Me series:

Tragedy-

This part of the story was almost over anyways so not much was left to happen. Craig continues to become an abusive alcoholic and Stan finally realizes he has a choice to make so he breaks up with Craig after high school graduation

Craig gets kicked out of his house after graduation because Thomas is an asshole and Craig ends up living with Token where he continues to battle his depression and alcoholism

Remedy-

The second installment in the series. Follows Stan away in Boulder for college. He is now in his junior year of college and has really come into his own being away from South Park and trying to heal from the heartbreak he experienced from the end of his relationship with Craig

One day he is out walking around campus and happens to run into Ike Broflovski. Ike is doing a campus tour with Shiela but for the time being was exploring on his own. The two talk and seem to hit it off. They exchange numbers since it seems Ike may choose to go to the college and Stan could show him the ropes.

They text and call each other A LOT and oops!... Ike confesses he has always had a crush on Stan. Stan admits that he has started taking a liking to Ike too since they have been talking.

SECRET RELATIONSHIP between Stan and Ike. Shenanigans ensue trying not to be caught by Kyle or Sheila because they are afraid the relationship will be frowned upon.

Uh oh Stan still loves Craig deep down and it's hard to fully move on. But it's not like Stan is ever going to be seeing him anytime soon-

Stan runs into Craig at the high school because Ike is a senior and Spring break is starting so Stan is back in South park on break and he's picking Ike up after school so they can hang out (wow I was so young when I wrote this plot this is cringe but it's how it goes)

Craig is at the high school because he is now sober with his life together and a ~firefighter~ and the school had a fire drill right before Stan showed up.

Oh jeez Craig has come back into Stan's life and now he's having fEeLiNgS and Craig wants him back because he's still so in love with him... but what about Ike??

Clarity-

The tension builds as Stan reconnects with Craig bit doesn't know if he should break up with Ike to give Craig a second chance or if he should continue the relationship he has with his best friend's little brother

Oh dear Kyle catches Stan and Ike in a very compromising situation

DRAMA

Stan decides it's best that he goes back with Craig... but what's this? Craig has just found out that his biological father is Randy Marsh. Craig confronts Randy and then has to tell Stan the truth before moving forward.

Stan needs some time. He's hurt and confused. After soul searching he concludes that despite everything he believes Craig is his other half ("you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need") and they get back together.

The Prequal

Takes place in the mid 80s. Laura and Thomas were childhood friends and when Laura comes back home after college her parents and Thomas's parents pretty much force her into an arranged marriage with Thomas because her dad has a family car dealership business and wants to expand Yada Yada.

Thomas is madly in love with Laura but she only sees him as a friend and is absolutely miserable. They move to South park where the new dealership is opening. She tries the housewife thing for awhile but sinks into depression and convinces Thomas she needs to get a job to get out of the house.

Laura gets a job as a secretary for a local geologist... Randy Marsh. Laura is adorable btw- she's 5'1" but wears 3 and 4 inch heels to work everyday and she has long blonde hair that is professionally just-so

Randy is married to Sharon and they have Shelly who is toddler aged. Randy is hitting a rough patch in his marriage because he's having a hard time dealing with adjusting to fatherhood and responsibilities and feels that Sharon is an overbearing control freak.

Randy and Laura's personalities click really well and they start to become close and even hang out outside of work a few times. Laura falls head over heels for him. Their relationship gets physical.

Laura is trapped in a marriage with a man she is not in love with but has finally found someone she does love and when she finds out she's pregnant (100% by Randy because she's never had sex with Thomas which is a point of contention between the two) she tells Randy in hopes that he will leave his wife for her. She is convinced she would treat him better than Sharon ever would.

Randy has an oh shit realization and knows he has to own up to his actions. He tells Laura he can't and won't leave Sharon because he loves her and their daughter but he is willing to pay for anything she needs for the baby. Laura is devastated and refuses any of Randy's help. She has to force herself to have sex with Thomas so he will think the baby is his.

Randy has to tell Sharon what he has done and she takes Shelly to go stay with her mother for awhile. Eventually she forgives him and the following year she gets pregnant with Stan

Thomas believes the baby is his the entire time until the time line doesn't add up anymore. Laura had been lying about how far along she was to make the time line make sense so when Craig is born Thomas asks the nurse if he is okay since he's a month early. The nurse tells him the baby is full term and healthy. He orders a paternity test and shit hits the fan.

Despite everything Laura continued working with Randy because she never stopped loving him.

One Plus One Equals Three

***spoilers***

(But that's kinda the point. Here's how it ends)

Psiion is taken to an abandoned brooding cavern with both her parents, Feferi, Gamzee, and Kanaya. She is lowered into the cavern to make her way through it while the adults make the trek to where the cavern opens up and ends

Inside the cavern, Psiion first encounters cave-dwelling insect/beast things that feed on troll grubs that are freshly hatched. With this being an inactive brooding cavern they are especially ravenous. Psiion escapes them by using psionics and the sheer luck of running into a huge underground lake. The beasts can't go into the water. Luckily she is a violet blood and can swim well. This is where many weak landdwelling grubs perish because they can't make the swim to the other side.

She eventually gets to a part of the path that is caved in and has to make a path for herself to get to the other side by moving heavy stones and squeezing through some crevices. Once she makes it to the other side it is pitch black and almost impossible to see. The path is very narrow with a drop off to jagged rocks below. She makes it through using psionics.

She emerges victorious! Sollux and Eridan are incredibly relieved and proud. Tbh I've been trying to come up with a decent motivation as to why Gamzee was so hellbent on destroying Psiion and all these years later I still have a pretty flimsy reason. Something about dirty bloodlines idk. It's been a really long time.

Everyone is happy! Yay! Celebrate! Sollux and Eridan do the nasty again and Sollux pulls an "Oops! I did it again!" One Plus One Equals Three ends with the implication that Eridan gets pregnant again.

Surprise Motherfucker! Eridan IS pregnant again! There was going to be a sequel to OPOET! This time 2 grubs survive out of his clutch. A teal blood named Tavion and... what's this?? A FLIPPIN FUSCHIA BLOOD named Zinnea

Tavion is very wild/punk rock/horn dog. That's his personality. Psiion is a blogger that likes to post Outfit Of The Day pictures and pictures of fancy coffee drinks on the site that she coded herself. Zinnea is a slob. She just wants to lay around eating junk food and playing video games. Psiion is often repulsed by her behavior.

Eridan and Sollux have to keep their fuschia blood daughter a secret cuz.. ya know. It's this whole thing.

Hey so I've been away from tumblr and fanfiction for a while now because I just don't have the time anymore. I have a 9 month old son, my husband and I bought a house recently and moved... my life revolves around being at the beck and call of a tiny human, keeping groceries in the house, general housework, and cooking meals, plus going to work the one day a week my husband is off.

But

I love my stories. The ones I've had in progress for years. And I want y'all to know how they end at least. If anyone cares. So what I'm going to do is post a bulleted outline of One Plus One Equals Three and Tragedy. This way you'll at least know how they end and get the shortened versions of them. So... if that sounds like something you'd like be on the lookout for it.

[monarchwritesstuff]

So,

I had a baby! August 10th.

[monarchwritesstuff]

Just a rant

...I want to finish writing my stories so bad. I want to finish them. I want to put them out there. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. But y'all. My creative brain energy has literally evaporated from my body the entire 8 months I've been pregnant. And it sucks so bad. Another way of putting it into perspective is that it's not just me writing fanfiction that has come to a grinding hault. For two years I have been fanatically keeping bullet journals. This is my third year doing one. Each year they seemed to only get better... Except that this year's is so incomplete it may as well be non-existent. Any sort of "crafty" "write it out" "use your mental energy to make something" activity has just become something I can't focus on. Which sucks because it would have been great to have filled out my bullet journal more documenting the pregnancy and other neat little things. The one craft project I've been able to do has been to paint letters spelling out my son's name to go in his room. And I think "nesting" is the only thing that drove me to do that. So yes, I want to conclude One Plus One Equals Three and Tragedy as well as add more contributions to the Staig community because it's such a rarepair... But my brain simply will not allow me to focus much on things beyond being exhausted, in pain, and trying to get through one day at a time until the baby comes.

[monarchwritesstuff]

*sigh*

For the maybe two people who actually read any of this stuff on here.... I have a bit of a "progress update". There has been no progress. My main issue has been absolute lack of mental energy to put towards writing, but I just realized I have another problem. The only computer I have to type up and post stuff with has decided to be a giant piece of shit and not allow my internet browser to work. I had been using what it came with (Microsoft Edge) because that worked fine for what I needed. Once that started acting up I tried to switch to Chrome but... It... Won't... Let... Me??? It will say it's downloaded but then it will never open/run. If anyone has suggestions let me know because I'm not very tech savvy. So as it stands I have an entire chapter of OPOET that needs to be finished getting typed up and then can be posted and then I have a Staig oneshot that needs to be finished and posted... But I can't post if my computer won't let me open an internet browser.

Story cancellation/ progress report

I've made the difficult decision to discontinue Under The Surface. It is going to take A LOT of work to at least get my two major stories done (One Plus One Equals Three and Tragedy) and I really hope to at least do that for the people that have been reading them for years now.

[monarchwritesstuff]

Working on typing up the next chapter of One Plus One Equals Three and it’s going to be hella long compared to most chapters to make up for how long it’s been.  Let’s finish this bitch in 2019!

[monarchwritesstuff]

Soo...

January is only a couple days away which means the whirlwind of the holidays is coming to a close and the fresh canvas of a new year is upon us. I'm feeling that I will be able to finally pick up the pen again and resume my projects.

December has been... Emotional for me. I celebrated my birthday and got to spend time with a family member on Christmas that lives out of state. On the other hand, my dad moved out of state a few days before Christmas. I've never had a close relationship with him and the last three years have been the first time I've ever lived close enough to him where a visit is just a ten minute drive down the road... And now I don't have that anymore. Probably the biggest thing though, is that the day before my birthday I found out that I'm pregnant. I chose to tell part of my family on Christmas which added stress and anxiety to a normally relaxing and enjoyable day. I have yet to tell my dad but I'm hoping to finally get it over with once I've had my first obgyn appointment next month.

Anyways, this is just my long winded way of feelings dumping and letting y'all know I'm hoping to start updating again next month. Happy New Year!

Fanfiction Progress Report:

OPOET is really close to having another chapter out and while I was really wanting to do monthly updates that just isn't going to be able to happen at the moment. I'm currently dealing with some personal issues that are at the forefront of my focus and I can't even think about my stories right now let alone sit down and write for them. So just know that I plan on updating as soon as I can but first I have to deal with some things. As always, thanks for your patience.

[monarchwritesstuff]

Welp, if this blog or my main one gets taken down in the purge I don't have any other social media to be contacted on. You will still find my fics on AO3 and I suppose you can message me on there. Good luck everybody!

New Chapter of Tragedy Is Up!!

I know it’s a long story but I do recommend rereading this story since it’s been a long time and I just went through and changed a few minor details. Also I’m going to have to take it down from ff.net and reupload it in the new smaller chapter format in order to update it on there so for now it’s just going on AO3.  Thank you so much to everyone who is still around to read this story!!

In the meantime...

Because I get super ahead of myself and overly excited here is the completed soundtrack list for The Beginning which is the prequel to The Piece of Me series which tells the story of Laura Tucker‘s early years of marriage to Thomas, how Laura met and fell in love with Craig’s father (which ultimately resulted in Craig’s conception), and how things didn’t end up working out with Craig’s father.  I’m not going to explain the context of each song because you’ve gotta wait to read it to find out ;)

“Friends” by Marshmello & Anne- Marie

“Crazy For You” by Madonna

“Separate Ways” by Journey

“Castle” by Halsey

“Lie” by NF

“Elastic Heart” by Sia

“A New Day Has Come” by Celine Dion

Fanfiction Update

As I’m typing up the next chapter of Tragedy I keep thinking about how I have to go back to edit some things in previous chapters (like changing Mrs. Tucker’s name to Laura and Craig’s sister’s name to Tricia) and I’ve decided I’m going to take out a few details from previous chapters that I'm no longer comfortable having in the story.  Don‘t worry- they have no effect on the major plot whatsoever.  (Also I’m still working on One Plus One Equals Three so don’t worry)

[monarchwritesstuff]

There’s a “kinktober”???
