#Technically. Of the three stories presented for class wherein a child protagonist forged a relationship with a god

what’s your favourite short fic you’ve written? Short being under 5 chapters

Lord! has 3 chapters and it’s only 52k words~

nah, actual favorite shortie is The Altars We Sacrifice Our Futures On. Basic synopsis: Tommy is a small orphan child who gets sacrificed to the Blood God, Technoblade. Only problem is, Philza adopted Tommy, and now Technoblade can’t actually eat him (Do you want to let the cultists get away with subpar sacrifices? Are you crazy!? Where’s the quality control!). Between all the goofs Techno and Tommy start to bond, with Techno getting some wholesome character development going. Techno is a giant grumpy tsundere about adopting Tommy, but is starting to go fully soft for him. At least, until Philza shows up in mama bear mode, at which point him and Techno develop an intense parental rivalry behind Tommy’s back. Ultimately, they end up in an odd assortment of found family, with Techno getting over his fear of peer pressure and disbanding his evil cult. I really love the mixture of comedy, dark comedy, fluff, and magic world building.

I got this problem in my long fics where as they progress they get more serious and dramatic. Hell just look how much crack is in the start of Mandatory Family Reunion- Anyway, it’s a real shame cause I’m a comedic genius, which gets wasted because of my natural impulse to write devastating angst. Lord! also is meant to be a comedy, but some of the dark humor started getting treated seriously it also dipped into Drama instead of Silly. But since I furiously wrote Altars in a week for a class, there was a cap on how dark I’d go, which helped maintain the levity.
