Oo, the one time I have spoons when I get a tag game 🤣😅

1. How many works do you have on A03?

61…🙈

2. What's your total A03 word count?

141,546! Wow that’s a lot more than I was thinking.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Depends on what I’m into! Most of my posted works are Linked Universe, but I’ve also written for the BBC Musketeers, Star Wars (Rebels and Clone Wars), and EPIC:The Musical!

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

When a Warrior Needs Time!

Home is Where the Heart Is ( but when you have no home…)

A Soldier’s Mask

Help Required

Levels of Importance

Not super surprised! Those are really my most popular fics period

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! Haven’t lately because school and little time/energy, which has resulted in a bit of a backlog, but I do try!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Protection of the Woods… also my only MCD fic. Don’t expect any more.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I… don’t actually know? I have multiple, I much prefer happy endings to anything else.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not so far!

9. Do you write smut?

no, never will, next question.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not usually, no. Not typically my jam.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

…so this is a question with a complicated answer. Technically, yes, I co-wrote a 56k fic with my cousin. We didn’t know it would be classified as a fic at the time, but whatever. I’m still trying to convince her that we should post it, like… 4-5 years after it’s been finished?

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I have no clue. I’m not usually a ship person, I tend to prefer found family. That said, Odypen is so. Freaking. Just. Yes.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Oh gosh. I have no clue, probably one of my original projects.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Descriptions! I love describing things.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Fight scenes, transitions.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Oh HECK YES. Especially when it involves terms of endearment.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Star Wars. It’s also what got me into writing, period, because it started out as a school summer project from my Mom (perks of being homeschooled).

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I have. Absolutely. No clue. I like a fair amount of the ones I’ve written. Although The Music Box is pretty high on the list

@skyloftian-nutcase @skyward-floored @ajscico @wolfwarden @whatcouldpossiblyg0wr0ng @vio-starzz

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @the-real-azalea-scroggs! Had to wait until I was of my phone because doing these is a nightmare on mobile lmao

1. How many works do you have on A03?

18 as of a few days ago!

2. What's your total A03 word count?

60,763! Which is. Only a fraction of the word count in my Docs folder. Be prepared.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I mainly write for The Legend of Zelda; specifically Linked Universe! In fact, that's all that's posted on my Ao3 currently, since my fall into that fandom began with me uploading there! Pre-Ao3 I wrote for Black Cat (Anime/Manga), Megaman NT Warrior, various Pokémon things, Assassin's Creed, Yugioh, Final Fantasy XIV and Octopath Traveler! Some of these I still write privately, but I haven't gotten around to re-posting any.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Whistling on Deaf Ears - My longest fic on Ao3, focusing on Wild and Twilight's friendship and how good intentions can lead to disaster.

Iconoclasm - Warriors deals with the room full of portraits in Cia's palace. The Chain also deals with it, but with a bit more fire.

Deserving - Twilight finally tells Rusl that he was the wolf in the village during TP, but that also means dealing with some heavier topics. Colin half overhears them and forms his own conclusions.

Something Greater - The start of the "Hyrule can see magical auras" series! In this one we deal with Legend and his many rings.

Ocean Magic - Mermaid Legend and Zora Time have a race and then fight one of the Big Octos from WW! Fun times.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Every single one!! I love comments, they give me an excuse to ramble about my fic more!! I am always down to ramble about every single insignificant detail of any line and/or section. If you ever want more background info about one of my fics, look to the comments! So please, I adore comments, I treat them like treasures, not responding to them would be a CRIME.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

There's no contest; Inevitable, my (so far) only MCD fic.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hmmm, that's hard to quantify. I usually try to end fics on a hopeful note regardless. I'd say possibly either Deserving, where Twilight reconnects with his family, or Shimmering Blue, Striking White, where Time meets the Fierce Deity settled down on Satori Mountain and they both get closure.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully, no! I've been blessed with mostly amazing and patient readers, even when my upload schedule isn't the best.

9. Do you write smut?

No, not really. I've attempted it, but I'm too asexual for it lol

10. Do you write crossovers?

Very, very rarely. Mostly privately, and only very specific ones. Only a single one has had an actual plot, so far (more on that one in question 15!).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also a nope! I tend to write for smaller fandoms, where these things don't tend to happen a lot!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! But it's been a while. Over a decade, in fact! I tried to find the fic to link it here, but it was on the German fanfic website fanfiktion.de, and my friend who posted it back then must have deactivated her account, because it's nowhere to be seen (I still have the Word file though!). It was a Multi-Crossover that started as an RP in a forum, and we took turns turning the RP into prose one chapter each. "If a Hero Turns to Dark" was its title. We were edgy teenagers.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Hissssss. Bad question. Shoo. They are all equally important!! But it's probably TenRose from Doctor Who.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

One of the very few crossovers I've ever worked on; a crossover fic between Assassin's Creed and Doctor Who, that I have mapped out in both chronological and timeline order, and yes, those are different. I only ever wrote about a quarter of it, since my primary audience of it disappeared when we graduated. I doubt I'll ever pick it back up properly, and if I do it'll probably go through heavy rewrites first since it's so old. Finishing it is a nice thought, but realistically, after 9 years it'll never be high priority enough for it to actually happen.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, especially arguments, and emotional impact. I've been told I do really well making characters feel alive and believable! Also I like to believe I'm decent at setting a scene and giving it the vibe I want it to have!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I struggle with dialogue tags when nothing much is happening besides the talking. I always feel it's too bland, and fall back on the same phrases. My scene transitions could use some work too.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've done this with Japanese phrases, because I was a massive weeb. Usually I followed them up with their own translations, though; I'm not the biggest fan of footnote translations, unless they are properly linked to. Simple dialogue tags are my favourite way of indicating a language switch.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Black Cat the Manga/Anime! It's a series about an assassin turned bounty hunter trying to live a life separate from his murdery past, but getting dragged back into things by still wanting to avenge his best friend's death. The series has a special place in my heart and my bookshelf, it left an imprint on 13-year-old me that will never leave.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Probably Jailbreak, uncharacteristically enough! It's one of the only fics I never got stuck in once. Writing it was a great feeling from start to finish. I love writing all of my fics, but that was a special few days.

Tagging @ahrva @nowhere-to-go-but-down @silvercaptain24 and @aeghina! And anyone who wants to do it, really, go wild

2021.04.06 a talk event at Meguro Rock-May-Kan film screening at Namba Hatch with Kyo and Shinya - PART 1 Report by とあ on twitter (topics are not reported in order things happened, I mostly followed the order they posted, 1st and 2nd session bits are mixed together) my comments go in (*…)

Shinya entered the stage in black hoodie, both hands in his pockets. He also had hands in the pockets when he left the stage. Came with a drink.

Kyo came on stage with his arms crossed. He drank some water soon after sitting down, I thought he started to play with the flyer but he made an airplane from it. Q “To Die. Please tell us the secret of your youth.” Kyo and Shinya face each other and laugh. Kyo: Is it okay to imagine what Die is doing? I said that I quit McDonalds, right? Die also said he hasn’t had McD in years. Fujieda: He also said he doesn’t eat ramen. Kyo: and he doesn’t eat spicy food. Kyo: Now he’s just eating, like tofu? Tofu or soybeans. Shinya: he researched and knows a lot. Even when going on a diet in the past he found a good plan. During the rapid question time they also answered another one for Die “I bought Die’s model guitar. Please tell me how can I get better” when reading Kyo answered “tooth guitar”. I think it was when reading about this guitar? Kyo started laughing then Fujieda started laughing and for a bit they both faced each other laughing.

“Coffee” Kyo: I drink it black. Even at home. Using beans from Starbucks. I drink 1~3 cups a day. Fujieda: Kaldi’s coffee is also great. They have many types. Kyo: If you say that they have many different types you have to try them to compare. You don’t say this even though you didn’t drink them, right? Fujieda: I tried quite a lot. There’s different one for each season. Now they sell sakura blend etc. Kyo: Ah, then it’s fine. If you drank it. Shinya: some years back I bought Nespresso coffee maker but I’ve only used it for 2 weeks. It’s still in my house. Kyo (suddenly looking at Shinya): gimme! (くれ!) Shinya: o, okay. Kyo (turning to Fujieda looking happy): he said okay! Kyo: Then I will give you a coupon to get that right side curl fixed. it caught my eye that looking from here that just the right side of your hair has this weird curl. Shinya: No, it’s not weird... Kyo: But I will give you a voucher to get that fixed.

“What’s your routine before the show?” Both of them don’t have one Kyo: Does anyone have? Fujieda: Toshiya is doing muscle training. Kyo: Ah... and doesn’t Die move around a lot? Shinya: He does. Until the start he’s very restless. Kyo: Right? Even when we all gather one is always going back and forth. “Your favourite takoyaki” Shinya: I don’t care. Even though I’m from Osaka I don’t really eat takoyaki. It is said that every household in Kansai will have a takoyaki machine but we didn’t. In the 20 years I lived there I only had like 5 octopus balls. Kyo: That time when you were wearing that long earring? You only had 5? So what type? Shinya: the one that is crispy outside and soft inside

“A difficult song” Shinya: Rinkaku. Because I need to keep kicking. It’s faster than Zan. The drum is nice but it totally kills my leg. Kyo: DIFFERENT SENSE as I said before. I imagined a dialogue as it’s a heavy song when I made it, but when I didn’t get any response, I ended up having to sing all of it by myself so it’s really tiring. I tried control my breathing when swimming but I can’t. Kyo: So in the end it’s like swimming the whole thing without breathing. I was told by Kaoru to try pointing the mic [at fans], but all I get is ‘eh right now?’ (gestures pointing with his right arm) I get ‘eh here?’ The people in front of me try to respond, but the people on the sides (again points with his right arm) go ’eh? Eh? Here? (agitated) so I gave up. I don’t mind if it’s the wrong pitch, just put your feelings into it.

Kyo: I started playing Monster Hunter. On Switch. Takabayashi: I’m also playing. Kyo: Then let’s play together! (big grin) Takabayashi: Okay. Shinya: I bought it on the day DS got released, but I couldn’t understand the objective of the game after playing for a day so I didn’t feel like playing anymore. Kyo: So you just started playing from zero by yourself? No one helped you saying what to do? Shinya: Yup. Kyo: If you told me I’d have helped you. Shinya: So in the end what happens? What is the goal? Kyo: there’s none. Shinya: What? Kyo: You just continue getting your level up. Shinya: And for how long do you continue to play? Kyo: There are people who continue playing until the next game comes out. Shinya: Woah...

"What weapons you're using in Monster Hunter" Kyo: I'm using a bow. It might seem it's because it's huge, but I can attack from a distance and avoid being found. Make a shot from a distance, if you're found out you can run away. Direct confrontation is scary.

“During the Osaka period what studio did you use?” Kyo: Was it in Umeda? Shinya: Yup. Fujieda: What was the name? Kyo: I don’t remember. Do you? Shinya: Yes. It was M4　www.m4-studio.com Kyo: That’s some memory. Shinya: I booked it. I confirmed the date with 4 of you and called them. We made Karma and Aoi Tsuki there.

“About Oboro teaser” Kyo: Could you see me? I only watched it on my phone so couldn’t tell what was what.

“Rock-May-KanGIG" Shinya: there were many problems... no one around me [to help]. When my ear monitor fell out I had to fix it myself. And I made this rookie mistake of not pressing record on camera... Kyo: We don’t remember things like that. Kyo: Do you remember what you ate a month ago? You don’t right? It’s the same. You might remember that the main dish was shrimp but you won’t remember sides. “About SOGAI in May” Kyo: something that will happen in a month...Do you think about what you will be eating in a month? Fujieda: But I think many fans are looking forward to it. Kyo: I guess, but that’s because they’re going to enjoy the food. From the side of people who will be cooking you only start preparing about a week before, no? Fujieda: So you will start feeling motivated a week before... Kyo: Nope. Fujieda: Shinya, do you think this analogy works? Shinya: After hearing it I think so.

“What are some food combinations that you find just wrong?” (*from other twitter reports the question had example like pineapple in sweet sour pork etc) Shinya: as long as there’s no foods I dislike anything is okay. Kyo: I don’t have any food like that, but but I hate when people mix different sports brands. Wearing adidas with Nike shoes and so on. When I see someone like that I want to tell them ‘could you not?’

“What expensive item have you bought recently?”

Shinya: I’ve already answered this earlier. A camera. The camera itself was 40k and lens was 20k yen. Kyo: What do you use the camera for? Shinya: For recording and so on. Kyo: What kind of [recording]? Shinya: For youtube or Haiiro. Kyo: Isn’t iPhone good enough for that? Kyo: When I’m taking a photo I just pass my iPhone and ask someone. Fujieda: I was given a camera for taking photos, but after about 15 minutes I was told to use iPhone in the end. Kyo: Do you know what was different? Fujieda: I didn’t. Kyo: (*going back to the main question) an expensive item... Nike and Garcons sneakers I guess. They were about 20k yen.　(*Pegasus?) I’m drinking coffee while looking at the sneakers.

“Do you prefer indoor or outdoor festivals?” Shinya: If it’s daytime then indoor. It would be too bright outdoor in daytime. Kyo: I hate insects so indoor. Weren’t there so many insects when you had plants? Fujieda: Speaking of insects, don't they get into your mouth when you ride a bike? Kyo: You ride a bike with an open mouth? Silly kid. Fujieda: Instead of having open mouth, it's like there's suddenly an insect in your mouth, when it crashes into you. Kyo: Riding a bike with an open mouth is silly. Why, are you singing? Fujieda: Sometimes I do, actually. Kyo: If you're singing while riding that's okay, if you just have your mouth open while riding that's silly.

"About SOGAI in May" Shinya: We're working on the setlist, it will be great. Kyo: That's why I don't want you to ask me about a concert in a month. Don't ask me questions about concerts next year. I won't answer.

"What's a good place in Hirakata?" Shinya: Hira pa (Hirakata Park) and TSUTAYA, right? TSUTAYA is where I was born. Fujiefa: Eh? Really? I didn't know. Kyo: if in Tokyo you say Hirapa no one will understand Kyo: Do you know? (looks at Shinya) when you just come in and there's a place with dogs Shinya: Like real dogs? Kyo: Yeah. There are about 20 dogs, but all are so tired. Lifeless as if they were abused. Of course they weren't abused, but it's a place where you can spend some time with dogs but they are so tired, so lifeless and tired that it's almost a shame they are kept there. (*I think he's talking about Doubutsu Hug Hug Town)

"What hotel facilities do you find exciting?" Shinya: ...for example? Fujieda: ehm... Kyo: This is not something exciting, but. You know in a shower? When you don't know if you're supposed to move the handle up or down? Maybe this way? And then when you move it the water suddenly comes out from above! (Shinya nods) Fujieda: That's criminal! Was it hot? Kyo: First water came out, but when I turned the handle the water suddenly poured from above, I got totally soaked. How do you use that? Shinya: there are some places where water comes out in 3 places instead of 2. Fujieda: Criminal! Fujieda: Anything exciting? Shinya: Like? Fujieda: Like a big tv. Shinya: I don't watch TV. Dujieda: That's true, you don't. How about a very good pillow? Shinya: I don't care. Kyo: And the shower [head]! Just from one hole the water goes in a strange direction, there's nothing stuck there, just water, but just this one spot. What's that about? (Shinya continued to nod while smiling)

"To Shinya. What time did you wake up today?" Shinya: Around 1. At night. Fujieda: What time did you go to bed? Shinya: I think about 10pm. Fujieda: You almost didn't sleep at all. Kyo: Aren't you an old man now! (*🤣🤣🤣🤣)

"What toothpaste and toothbrush are you using?" Kyo: Any toothpaste is okay, but I prefer small toothbruses. Because I have very complex teeth. Like a maze. You get lost there. That's why I choose a tothbrush with a small head, has good reach. Shinya: I'm using a toothpaste from overseas with an M, any brush is okay for me. But I use one with water coming out of it. Fujieda: Is it electric? Shinya: Yes. Fujieda: Is it painful? Shinya: Well sometimes it gets a bit bloody. Kyo: You're really into it (laughing) to keep using it even if you're bleeding.

Kyo is watching The world unknown to Matsuko every week (depends on the episode but it's interesting), when finishing the 2nd sessiin event Shinya said 'go straight home and from 8:57 watch The world unknown to Matsuko'. It already started and it seems [dir] appeared there.

"Where do you want to tour besides Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka?" Shinya: Somewhere we still haven't been to... where was it? Takabayashi: ehm... Shimane, Wakayama, Saga. Shinya: There. Kyo: Kyoto. Kyoto is good. Kyoto is the best. Even now I'd love to [have an event] in Kyoto instead. Kyoto is the best or, I want to become Kyoto.

"What animals do you like in the zoo?" Kyo: ehm... sheep I guess. I want to look at them or hold them. Shinya: Animals you don't see in everyday life like giraffes, elephants or lions.

"What do you like in an amusement park?" Kyo: I guess the haunted house? Yeah, haunted house. It's okay when people try to scare me. It's not scary. I'm laughing all the time. Fujieda: So you can enjoy FujiQ no problem? Kyo: I haven't been, but I think it's fine? I would be fine bringing a sheep with me I guess? Going in while stroking the fluffy sheep. Shinya: Ferris Wheel. Fujieda: How about the thrilling ones? Shinya: I don't like them. Fujieda: So Ferris Wheels for Shinya, understood.

"About shooting Oboro PV" Shinya: It was tough. Kyo: You say that? Say that to ME?? Shinya: Well, you were shooting naked. The green stuff got all over my clothes and cleaning that took ages. Kyo: Ah, I guess. But you could've gotten it dry cleaned, no? Shinya: It was a fabric that cannot be dry cleaned. I couldn't remove it in the end so I gave it to Fujieda. Kyo: You did? You got it? Fujieda: Yeah, I passed it to the person who designed the costume. Kyo: I see... Shinya: And the floor was very cold. Kyo: You say that?!?!?! Fujieda: Were you okay, Kyo? Kyo: Yeah... I'm a pro in the end. Fujieda: Oh (claps) Kyo: Are you mocking me? Looking down on me? Fujieda: No! Not at all! I clapped because I think that's great! Kyo: No, you're defnitely looking down on me. It's the same as the 'whats your salary like?' 'this much' 'oh'.

Hey Gaëlle ! Est-ce-que tu aurais des recommendations de fic Destiel ? Sans trop de smut, surtout pas beta/Omega (c'est même plus du smut à ce niveau-là...) et beaucoup de pining ? ( Je devrai être en train de réviser mes partiels d'ailleurs... 😅). Merci beaucoup ! 😌

Hellooo ! Alors tu as frappé à la bonne porte parce que je lis jamais de smut, ou alors quand c’est dans des longues fics, je passe juste ces passages là. (mais j’aime beaucoup les fic a/b/o qui ont pas de smut, parce que les sentiments sont quintuplés donc pining + angst on a whole other level). Y’a peu de fluff dans mes fics préférées, love me some angsty life and death moments, mais ça finit toujours bien. Enfin. Vérifie les tags quand même :)))) J’ai mis les liens, si y’a pas c’est qu’elles ont été supprimées mais j’ai les pdf donc hit me up.Et révise tes partiels !!!!

CANON

A turn of the earth -https://archiveofourown.org/works/5138552/chapters/11825306

Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

Frigging fantastic.

(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

Probably my favorite fic set in Canon. It’s set around season 11, and I love how we dive into Dean’s past pre-series and then as time goes by, we catch up with the show timeline’s. It’s incredibly well written.

525,600 Minutes - https://archiveofourown.org/works/507228/chapters/892693

A man wakes up alone on the streets of Detroit. Lost and somehow forgotten, he's dressed in blood-soaked clothing without memories and without a name.

This is his journey to find it.

It was first published in 2012 set after s5, but it was rewritten last year. I still have the old version for nostalgia’s sake but the new version is even better. It’s got some amnesia so great for pining :))))

The inexhaustible silence of houses -https://archiveofourown.org/works/560268/chapters/1000755

Almost two years after the world doesn't end, Castiel falls from grace—and loses his voice in the process. It is the impetus for confession and change; before long, he is settling into a loving relationship with Dean, the Winchesters are tired, and hunting for a place to land has taken precedence to hunting anything else. Dean and Castiel fall in love with the strange little house on the end of Swallowtail Drive, and for a little while life is as it should be—sweet, affectionate, and beginning afresh.

But more and more Castiel sees and hears things in the house that beg the question of whether or not a place itself can be alive. The walls and rooms seem to shift and grow and breathe, and one night, Dean comes home from a hunt changed in a way that Castiel cannot explain. In the months that follow, their domestic bliss takes turns for the dark and sour, and the confusion of their circumstances will ultimately test everything Castiel knows about the man he loves, and everything he believes to be true.

Listen, I cried. I cried SO MUCH. There was a lil fandom war going on for a time between which was the hardest, this one or Twist and Shout, and both destroy me completely. But this one is set in canon and closer to the characters, to me, so I’ll always recommend this one first (unless you want a happy ending, in which case, don’t read it)

Only if for a night - https://archiveofourown.org/works/826303

Castiel is captured by a djinn. Dean goes slightly crazy, and Cas discovers a thing or two about himself.

I’m a sucker for Dean/Cas in Djinn verse and this one is by far my favorite.

The Bird That Feels The Light (not slash) https://archiveofourown.org/works/210860

AU from 5.18 (or thereabouts). Castiel awakens in the middle of a smoking crater, stranded and very much human. According to the people who have discovered him, it’s six months to the day after Michael and Lucifer faced off on the field of battle outside of Detroit, and Castiel isn’t the only one to have returned. When, at his insistence, they take him to this other person, he finds a child –a little boy– and realizes that, contrary to all his expectations, he has been reunited with Dean Winchester. The world has changed in their absence, and not for the better. Sam is gone, whether dead or simply missing is uncertain. Castiel is given the name of a man in Idaho who may have answers for him. He is faced with the task of travelling cross-country with Dean, who is dependent on him now in ways he never was before, in order to discover the truth. But along the way, as he and Dean learn to know and trust each other once more, Castiel begins to realize that the answers he thought he wanted might not be the ones he needs.

It’s not slash at all since Dean is a kid but I’ve read it probably about 20 times and I still love it as the first time. There’s just something about human Castiel carrying a 4 year old Dean across the world and fighting monsters and demons and humans to survive that gets to me.

Hands, From Which All Things Are Built - https://archiveofourown.org/works/747324

Castiel travels with the angel tablet and without the Winchesters. One day, Dean gets a text from some anonymous number. (They speak in the language of need.) A post-08.17 Goodbye, Stranger story.

If you want pining, this one is definitely for you.

Last Man Standing - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8363328/1/Last-Man-Standing

This one is set just after the season 7 finale, it’s a Purgatory fic with so.much.pining I always need to hold a pillow to my chest when I read it or I go insane sdfghjkl I haven’t read it in probably 4 years but I remember absolutely loving it.

Outrun my gun - https://archiveofourown.org/works/281887/chapters/448388

"The two of you are so stubborn you've made Heaven blink." Finally convinced that Sam and Dean will never say yes and accept their destinies, Heaven and Hell come up with a new plan, one that will redraw the Apocalypse and make everything run much more smoothly. All they need is Dean Winchester's soul.

Don’t mind the MCD tag, it’s got a happy ending. Also a classic set in canon, it’s from 2011 so quite oldish but it’s incredible how the characterization is on point. Love love love it.

Tramps Like Us

Dean Winchester's life is falling apart. He's lost his job, his apartment, and his brother, all in one day. He seems to break everything he touches. Frustrated and alone, he drives off into the night with no idea where he's headed. But then he meets Castiel Novak, a quiet and reclusive man with a haunted past, and suddenly he finds himself with a very specific destination in mind.

I feel like everyone has read Tramps Like Us but just in case, I’ll put it on the list. Not sure what I can say that hasn’t been said by half this website already but well… it deserves the hype.

Til The Last - https://archiveofourown.org/works/1001935/chapters/1984189

When the war came, Dean Winchester was determined that he was not going to get involved. He had more important things to worry about than some rich man’s fight. He had work on the farm and he had taking care of his family. Nothing else was worth his worry. But in August in the Year of Our Lord 1863, when the soldiers came knocking, they weren’t asking. They dragged Dean away.

Dean and Cas have been best friends since they were kids. When Dean is drafted into the Confederate army, to what lengths will Castiel go to ensure that Dean makes it back home alive?

OH BOY. OHHHHH I could talk about that one until the day I die. It’s a complete AU but it has great parallels to canon, it’s incredibly well written, humanity in all it’s ugly truth and “I will fight for you ‘til the last, Dean Winchester” jesus christ it’s so good, so good

Out of the Deep - https://archiveofourown.org/works/548878

Stay away from the light-beds. Stay in the deep.

It is the first thing hatchlings are taught the moment their fans unfurl and they can swim without their parents to buoy them along. It is the first rule, the first law. It is the beginning of every boogey-monster bedtime story told when they settle against the cliffs to sleep.

Castiel should have listened better.

I love everything she writes but I think this one if my favorite. It’s sooooo long, and angsty as fuck but all ends well and it has some very fluffy moments. If you’re into this kinf of AU then 100% go for it.

To Raise a King - https://archiveofourown.org/works/1961403

This must be some kind of horrible joke at Castiel’s expense. Is he truly expected to protect a King? One who has been their enemy for as long as he can remember? He is much more suited to being a part of the army, or at the very least someone who helps to train the knights. That would be far more preferred than having to watch over the King. It means Castiel would get to keep fighting – and that’s the only way he knows to give meaning to his life.

An AU too, Cas is tasked to watch over Sam and Dean -there’s an 8 year age difference between Dean and Cas. I loved it because it’s set over about 15 years and Cas is asexual and I love time period AU in general :’)

Painted Angels https://archiveofourown.org/works/1085792

Author Castiel Novak has finally hit the big time, with a book based on his failed college relationship with a brilliant painter. He's put all his pain behind him, but at a book signing, he comes face to face with Dean Winchester for the first time in twelve years, and the reunion doesn't go like Cas hoped. Dean's a broken man, with a lot of scars and secrets, shoulders weighed down by his demons and self loathing. Cas sees a second chance with the man he's never stopped loving, but Dean's moved on, and is about to get married. Sam launches a "brilliant" plan to reunite his brother and his best friend, but Cas is worried it will all blow up in their faces, and he'll go through the agony of losing Dean a second time.

This one is hard to read because for the most part, it’s heartbreaking. There are happy flashbacks all along but it’s still hard when what happens in the present it’s a fucking tragedy. But I would still read it a thousand times over, and the timestamp completely make up for all the pining and the angst. It’s rare to find fics that last an entire lifetime.

In any case, consider MCD-Level-1 Dumps PDF, it has a finishing score for the test. By then think about inquiry, which was on all of the 100 of this model set. It might from the earliest starting point give the likelihood that this comes down to what questions are superfluously hard and what questions are nonsensically essential, at any rate, it's not simply that. MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1 (Mule 4) Question and answers might be trying, in any case, it might be that the correct paces of test-takers happen to comprehend that point quite well. Or then again the sales may be fundamental, regardless none of the open appraisal resources happened to join that subject. Or on the other hand, maybe the truth is truth be told out-of-scope stood apart from the MuleSoft Certified Developer tests topic, and it by some way or another got into the test database at any rate. For instance, possibly it's a crazy solicitation, yet the investigation Guide for that test works prominently of going over an on an essential level identical to the situation. Coming about to set up this, I come to colossal results. Regardless, accreditation exhausts extensive vitality to keep up the steadfastness. For additional more contact at RealExamDumps.

India N Indian Topics Exclusively

WE start with the goods and evils of the education system followed in India before moving on to an interesting debate specifically in eight parts and finally the rather controversial domain of inter-caste love marriages!

Indian education system good or bad

The education system in India suffers from some serious lacunae. These include preference for good marks/grades over being knowledgeable, lack of encouragement for thinking out of the box (asking questions in the class is considered rude and seldom encouraged; almost non-existent practice of extra reading; education restricted to prescribed textbook and help/guide books, and that too limited to 24 hrs. before the examination day!), rigid and outdated syllabi/curriculum, heavily underpaid professors/teachers (bright minds stay away from this career; professors don’t show much zeal for teaching, they just “go through” the motions), only a few colleges with good quality of education where you have to be in the top elite to gain admission besides there being a lack of passion for education in the real sense (most students go for engineering/medicine on the advice of “elders”!).

Now, for some serious facts and stats regarding Indian education system vindicating the aforementioned lacunae (note that these stats are based on those provided by the government of India itself freely on the web): In India, just 11% of the children finishing school joins a college whereas in the US, this figure amounts to a whopping 83%. As per the eleventh plan, to increase this enrolment level to 15%, India needs to invest approx. Rs. 22.5 billion but it has allotted only a fourth of the total needed.

According to a study by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, 90% of the colleges and 70% of the universities that the council graded were of middling or poor quality. The standard of school education has stagnated too. In rural India, there is no teaching activity on about 50% of the working days in the primary schools.

There is an endemic shortage of teachers with even the IITs reporting a 20% to 30% shortfall in faculty. Indian universities, if one goes by average, revise their curricula only once in 5 to 10 years but by then they get defeated in both letter and spirit.

Corruption is the by-word in higher education having become rampant and institutionalized due to over-regulation by the government and multiplicity of education agencies leading to what else but stagnation in this very vital sector of education.

The lack of good institutions has seen cutoff percentages for entry into good colleges soar to almost impossible levels (at Delhi’s SRCC college, this percentage was as high as 98.75). There is an undue pressure to do well in the secondary board exams because of which the suicidal tendency has grown alarmingly.

Owing to poor quality of education at home, Indian students now spend no less than $7000 million to go abroad and study in foreign universities. Still the government is adamant over its peculiar stance of not permitting foreign universities to set up shop in India.

We have almost done with the bad points of the Indian education system. And, to end on a bright note, almost 50% of the country’s population is below 25 years. Almost 10% of them or 120 million are between the ages of 18 and 23. Let them have both knowledge and skills; they could surely drive India’s competitive and entrepreneurial spirit and transform it into a major global power. Isn’t it a good ending to the bad side of Indian education scenario?

________________________________________________________________

Now, we move on to the 8-part OPEN Debate!

Saturday 4th February, Two Thousand Seventeen, 01:19 hrs IST Cordial Invite to COME, One n ALL: An OPEN Debate [1]

Openly Looting the Public 24x365

- In the name of religion

- In the name of providing customer care n ostensible help

- In the name of modernity n debatable consumerism - In the name of All leftover jargon n paraphernalia

In the current era, one witnesses a plethora of crimes of all types but none comes close to the most sinful act of looting the most gullible general public at large openly in front of their own eyes by whatever means or names you put it – religion, customer care, consumerism and all that is left over in this rather long but undesirable list of swindling and cheating!

What to speak of the general society, even in temples, we see people worshipping and performing rituals just for the sake of trifling and material things. Nobody is prepared to make efforts for the real fruit of devotion, the peace that passes all understanding, self-realization, an answer to the eternal query of human life – “WHO am I?”. And, in most of the shrines, the so-called ‘pujaris’ (in essence, they are only pandas like in the Kalkaji temple, to mention one) take full advantage of this lackadaisical attitude fomenting it further for their own selfish ends. They encourage and exhort the gullible devotees to donate more and more in order that their narrow worldly wishes are fulfilled. But, what is to be understood is the fact that you go to a temple only to meet GOD, your Best Friend and ally; Rest is all superficial. But neither do you know this fact nor do the so-called learned pundits tell you or make you know that. All that is left is the hallo bulla of rituals, noise, pushing and jostling with no or little ‘peace of mind’! The so-called customer care department in most of the big private sector names (such as Vodafone, for instance) and MNCs is there to ostensibly provide help to harried customers and clients of the company in question but what is to be understood is the fact that the customer care ‘agent’ has only got a single minded objective of helping his company first by way of increasing its revenues in whatever way possible, by hook or by crook!

I don’t have to elaborate much on how people are getting looted in the name of modernity or modern consumerism, if I may put it that way. The simplest example is the 1+1 free schemes floated in the market to dupe the gullible customers of their hard earned valuable money. Similar in nature are most of the other ‘free’ consumer schemes! I may also add here the part played by aggressive advertising of the modern day products most of which is misleading at hindsight. But the pumped up euphoria created weighs heavily on the nerves and minds of the unsuspecting people who are thereby taken for a ride by the modern consumer companies.

There are many more things left in this long but rather indescribable list of rather ‘subtle’ swindling and cheating which you may count for yourself!

________________________________________________________________

Saturday 11th February, Two Thousand Seventeen, 19:27 hrs IST Cordial Invite to COME, One n ALL: An OPEN Debate [2]

Parking Nuisance N Road Mayhem

- Traffic on the increase

- Lack of adequate public transport

- Lack of coordination between civic authorities, that be, such as MCD, NDMC etc. etc.

- No ‘parking sense’ and lack of sensitivity towards others (case example: an ambulance carrying an emergency heart patient ‘obstructed’ due to road blockage)

- No rules / regulations at all, literally N virtually, being adhered to; rules / regulations if, at all, exist only on paper!!

- Utterly disdainful selfishness on the part of each one of the commuters, or, for that matter, on the part of each one of us forming the social fabric, the so-called members of the modern ‘civil’ society!

Nobody can deny the fact that traffic on our roads is ever increasing day by day what with the Indian population growing at a phenomenal rate and touching a whopping 1.25 billion as per the year 2013 data. Be it a senior pro, a young executive or a middle aged person, each one wants to ride his own bandwagon / vehicle. Even more alarming is the fact that each one is in a tremendous hurry to get to his respective destination. If somebody has to reach half an hour early, he would start half an hour late rather than an hour early. This is the story of each one of us, whether you like it or not!

Added to it is the factor of inadequate public transport. YES, the Metro has “arrived” but a little too ‘late’ and achieved a little too ‘less’ than desirable. One point to understand is that the metro cannot solve all the transport problems on its own. It needs adequate support from other sectors such as state run buses, autos, taxis and other vehicles, wherever and in whatever way they can prove helpful. In fact, a carefully crafted ‘public transport network’ is the need of the hour. One thing is clear. The public won’t mind paying and shelling out a reasonable amount to travel in convenience and in good time too. It is now up to the civic authorities, that be, to rise to the occasion and deliver!!

On the contrary, what one finds is the complete lack of coordination between the various civic authority channels N agencies such as the MCD, the NDMC, and so on and so forth. What one does is undone by the other and what is done by the latter is undone by the former. The classic case is the digging up of roads by the various agencies such as the Delhi Jal Board, i.e. DJB (for laying the sewer lines, for instance), the Gas Authority of India Ltd., i.e. GAIL (for supplying PNG directly to homes, for instance), etc. etc. They simply keep coming at you, one after the other, and the roads virtually remain dug up for most of the time.

About our ‘parking or road sense’, the less said, the better! It is just as if we want the complete road for ourselves leaving the others to fend by themselves. The only sensitivity we have is for ourselves only. If we want to park our car / vehicle, we would do it simply without a thought for others. If we want to put up a ‘temporary tent (shamiana, as it is referred to as in Hindi)’, we would do it right in the centre of the road, as if the whole and complete road belongs to us only with the others being mere ordinary onlookers or spectators, who have come to watch our show of ego N strength. This inevitably leads to traffic snarls / jams! But, who cares for an emergency hospital case losing vital N crucial time, in the process!

In modern day India, the law of the jungle rules the roost!! Even in a jungle, the animals follow some simple rules by way of their natural instinct!! But, in our modern society, rules N regulations exist only for namesake! They exist only on paper! And, I really don’t blame the general public for this. Who would like to follow rules N regulations when an honest person is unfairly penalized for no reason even as trespassers go scot free for every reason? It’s for our senior leaders to show and pave the way for others to follow!!!

Last, but not the least, we must understand the simple fact that as good users of the roads, we must be totally unselfish in our approach. WE must understand the simple fact that to be actual humans, we must discard the animalism in us and be completely humanitarian in our approach to use of the roads. Then, and only then, we can build a truly good ‘civil’ society for the common good of each one of us!!!!

________________________________________________________________

Cordial Invite to COME, One n ALL: An OPEN Debate [3]

(Lack of Proper) Places / Spaces for Social Events N Public Toilets

The Civic authorities, that be, charge the populace by way of various taxes like income tax, property tax, road tax, sales tax, and so on and so forth. As such, they are obliged to provide proper N adequate public places for social events lack of which leads to people putting up ‘shamianas’ N temporary tents on the road itself, which, in turn, leads to traffic snarls / jams and causes inconvenience, in general, to general commuters. In case of an emergency like a hospital case, this could even prove fatal N catastrophic!

The Civic authorities would do well to remedy the situation and work for the welfare of the general public at large rather than serving their own narrow ends N indulging in petty political games N gimmicks!!

I may add here that providing N maintaining neat N clean public toilets (as also garbage waste boxes) is another bounden duty of the Authorities and that too free of cost, preferably. This point is to be understood even more significantly in the wake of our Honorable PM, Mr. Narendra Modi’s hugely pumped up bandwagon N clarion call of “Swachh Bharat” Andolan N ‘Abhiyan’, as Mr. Modi likes to put it!!!

Corruption N its Ramifications

I really don’t need to introduce you to “corruption”! It’s rampant and ever on the increase in India!!

While everybody talks of ‘Ram-Rajya’, nobody has the guts to make any sort of painstaking efforts in the right direction, that is, self effacement N thinking about the welfare of the “W-H-O-L-E” rather than just the “p=a=r=t=s”!

Whichever and whatever political party comes to power, the fate of the general populace never changes and remains, more or less, the same. Of course, to gain power, our cunning politicians, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi CM and the main / front face of AAP (Aam Aadmi Party), being no exception , make big promises only to back out later on, as per their own suitability N convenience. And, even if the government allocates some funds for emancipation of the poor and the downtrodden, they seldom reach the latter and remain virtual paper concepts N pipedreams to be consigned to the bin at the earliest available N convenient opportunity.

Our bureaucracy, and for that matter, the w-h-o-le system, from the top rungs down to the lowermost channels, has become totally inept, defunct, and is affected with serious plague and if I may put it that way, with Dengue N Malaria as well to boot.

You need a job! First of all, none is available thanks to our elephantine growth of population. Second, if there is any, you need some sort of a link to gain it. It could be a bribe; it could be a call from the higher ups; or, even brute force! So, what do you do? Either, act against your conscience and get the job, by hook or by crook, or sit quietly at home, feeling thoroughly frustrated inside out!!

Gandhiji has been reported to advise the dismantling of the Indian National Congress after we had gained independence from the autocratic N anarchical British Rulers but there were suave leaders like Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, who had their own axe to grind and didn’t heed to Gandhi’s noble N wise suggestion. The result is there to see for all of us. The Congress has ruled India for almost sixty years but the lot of the common man has not improved even six per cent!

Martyrs like Saheed Bhagat Singh, who were actually responsible for instilling fear into the British regimen leading to our consequent independence, had sounded a word of caution to their fellow brethren N Countrymen – “Don’t get complacent and become a slave of your own leaders! They will be even more dangerous N notorious than the Englishmen!”

Just, reflect for a minute and peep unto your selves!! How prophetic N true these words / gems N pearls of wisdom have proved to be!!

OUR Unreserved ‘Reservation Policy’

Continuing from where I left my last piece, a word about our ‘reservation policy’. At the time of our independence (1947), it was rightly felt by the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar led Constituent Committee that some sections of our society were in an inferior position (although Gandhiji called them ‘Harijans’) relative to others and needed to be compensated for it. As such, they allowed reservations to be made for such unjustly treated sections for 10 years. But, what is appalling is the fact that they have continued till date for more than 60 years now and even other communities are demanding N vying for reservations.

This is primarily due to the fact that our leaders, for their own vested interests and to eke out vote banks for themselves, have allowed this practice to continue and even grow by leaps And bounds!

I, for one, would like to phase out reservations slowly but steadily. Let me illustrate, by a live example, my viewpoint. Suppose, somebody has made it to the IAS or the Indian Civil Services, for that matter, by way of reservations! Now, he is an (IAS) officer in his own right, enjoying all the privileges that go along with this tag N plum post. He, along with his family, has slowly but surely moved up to the upper rungs of society and he is now no longer discriminated against. So, how can you continue to provide reservations for him in his service or for his children, for that matter, who should now be allowed to compete with others solely on merit N nothing else!

DEFILING the Very Places WE Worship

Yesterday, I was passing by a nearby SHIV temple N PEEPAL tree and I could make out some devotees offering their prayers and worship at the PEEPAL tree. It was all going very well when suddenly I happened to see a pile of garbage N rubbish near the very place of worship, literally at the feet of THE TREE to my utter disbelief, shock N amazement!!!

I just couldn’t understand and was at a total loss at this sort OR mode of worship!

First of all, can IT really be called WORSHIP or worthy of being designated as ‘True’ OR “Real” WORSHIP at all?? In the second pace, if we can DEFILE God, ‘Defiling’ ourselves becomes and is even easier! Finally, what sort of legacy OR message are we conveying to our progeny or leaving for the future OR coming generations???

LOOKING WITHIN rather than WITHOUT

Continuing from where I left my last piece, a word about Introspecting N Looking IN than OUT!

It’s a commonplace habit to find fault with others even when the entire mistake is ours!! As SHRI KABIR DAS JI put it so befittingly – “I went from street to street, place to place, to find evil, but couldn’t find any; when I introspected within, I found the real culprit!!”

This indeed is the real Truth! WE search for mistakes all around us; but, we forget to search within ourselves; the day we start looking within, our search will surely be over N out!!!

In the same vein, we look for GOD all around us except ourselves. WE look for without rather than WITHIN. The day we start searching for HIM within, WE are sure to ‘Find’ GOD..!

Public Dealing APATHY n Lackadaisical ATTITUDE

There is no gainsaying the fact that in India, public dealing is largely apathetic, lackadaisical and devoid of any human values whatsoever! It is just ‘going thru the motions’ with no real intent of helping the public at large, who on their part, also try to gain, at times, undue advantage of any vantage feelings shown to them.

But, largely, it’s our bankrupt bureaucracy and official machinery at fault. They almost behave as if they are not carrying on with their “bounden duty” but doing a ‘huge favor’ to the general public. May be, the tradition has carried on from the British times. But, it’s now time to change it for the better!

It must be made accountable for its actions with some penalty imposed on the erring official along with speedy justice being meted out to the person relating to whom the action was carried out. Else, this buck will run amok eating everything n everyone with such instances beginning to find their way even into the private sector, albeit, not to that extent, as of now.

But, if unchecked, this menace will outgrow each n every one!!

Now, we move on to the final discussion in this exclusive Indian section, viz. Inter-Caste Love Marriages. ________________________________________

Inter Caste Love Marriages -

Problems & Solutions

Prologue Since times immemorial, people have fallen in love irrespective of caste, religion or territorial boundaries. They might have had to pay a heavy price for this but in the process they have made love immortal. Love is such a sweet and nice feeling, truly nectarine and divine!

More recently, the inter caste love marriage trend in India has been on the increase. Widespread education along with the “proliferation of professions through the castes” has rendered the Caste System less relevant than before. And, this increasing trend is likely to continue in spite of the multifarious problems involved. Such problems include custom & belief systems, culture & language differences, contrasting living styles, matters of faith, even dietary contrasts. Not to forget the disapproval of parents and elders from both sides.

Mutual Adjustment and Sacrifice However, if the couple involved truly love each other, they can easily tackle all these problems. Each of the concerned partners must learn to adjust for the sake of the other. Then, all these differences of cultures, traditions, living styles and diet etc., which look big on paper, actually become negligible. And, this is what successful marriage is all about – mutual adjustment and sacrifice for the sake of the other partner.

They must put forward their case convincingly and strongly, maturely bringing forth the good points of their partner. Marriage is, after all, not only a mutual amalgamation of two persons, but a marriage of the two concerned families as well. The couple could do with the full support of their families for a pleasant and fructifying matrimonial alliance.

External Help In case they need some external help, they can call upon a versatile inter caste love marriage specialist Baba. Or, an expert inter caste love marriage specialist astrologer. To help them in their cause of inter caste love marriage problem solution. Of course, they must first make sure that such a Baba or astrologer is really genuine. He could well be trying to make some easy money at their cost! There are many a inter caste love marriage specialist Baba and inter caste love marriage specialist astrologer willing to help. By various means, they attempt for an inter caste love marriage problem solution. An inter caste love marriage specialist Baba claims to help by positive “vashikaran” mantras, 'yagnas', hymns and other rituals. But, we have yet to verify these scientifically.

Astrology can help by way of numerology,’ vastu shastra’ and the like. Such methods are much more scientific as compared to those advocated by an inter caste love marriage specialist Baba. However, only a few inter caste love marriage specialist astrologers, who are a master of their art and craft, can really help. But then, they may charge extravagantly for their virtuoso advice and services. You have to find out and convince yourself first than anybody else.

Dating With the large-scale extensive globalisation and modern-day computerization, not to forget the ubiquitous mobile cell phones, the world has shrunk. It has brought in its wake people belonging to diverse avenues, fields and regions together. Under such circumstances, it’s not very surprising that in India, dating has become very common. Especially of late, even among inter castes.

And, when people belonging to different castes date and spend time together, they gradually tend to come closer. They might even wish to settle down in life as real partners as well. It’s only natural then that their parents or elders disapprove of them. This is particularly true in view of the fact that dating in India is still relatively a new phenomenon and concept.

It’s really here that the inter caste love marriage specialist Baba and the inter caste love marriage specialist astrologer come into play. They can foresee and foretell if you will make a good match or pair. And if so, they can play a vital part and role in bringing around your families to your viewpoint.

Arranged Marriages Looking at it another way, love marriages are sometimes themselves out of favour in India as compared to arranged marriages. In the latter case, the duo has all the backing and support of all the family members from both sides. In stark contrast is the former case, wherein the couple may have to fend for themselves on their own. On top of it, inter caste love marriages offer just the icing on the cake. Making your family members, parents and elders scream wildly at you.

The only way out for you is not to yell back; rather, convince them strongly with reasonable arguments. You must meet each of their viewpoints with proper counter arguments. The elders are generally concerned that love marriages usually end in divorce. You can counter this with suitable and proper examples from practical life. Similarly, you can counter and address their other concerns. Like your partner’s weak financial position, his/her cultural beliefs or non-vegetarian diet etc.

Progeny There is at least one solid scientific reason that goes in favour of inter caste love marriages. Or, for that matter, any inter caste marriage, in general! It is the genetic refinement and improvement in hereditary features of the progeny or the coming generation. As inter caste marriages become more widespread, the very menace of Caste System in India will meet its doom. It will, by itself, just evaporate into thin air.

Epilogue So, are you planning an inter caste love marriage? With or without an able inter caste love marriage specialist Baba or inter caste love marriage specialist astrologer to guide you? Remember, both of them can guide by way of their expert k/w in inter caste love marriage solution!

You need not worry at all if you are first yourself convinced about your decision. In fact, you can then try to convince your families that you will make a happy pair. And, that your matrimonial alliance will be for the good of one and all. After this, there can be no stopping you. In fact, you can just go ahead and zoom right away into matrimony confidently and tenaciously.

And, you’ll have the added satisfaction of having done India a world of good with your loving action!!
