Date: April 20, 2019 Author: rokhal Rating: Mature Word Count/Status: 115,292, complete Dynamic: Robbie Reyes & Eli Morrow, Robbie Reyes & Gabe Reyes Characters: Robbie Reyes, Gabe Reyes, Eli Morrow Tags: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Emotional manipulation, Non-Graphic Rape/Non-Con, Angst, Family feels

Summary:

Last year, eighteen-year-old legal guardian Robbie Reyes made a deal with the ghost of the serial killer possessing his body: together they will unleash their rage on those who endanger Los Angeles, and when they find someone truly evil, truly deserving, they will kill them. Since he made the deal, they've maimed plenty, but killed no one, and the ghost is getting impatient. Robbie gets a side-job driving his Ghost Rider car for Uber. This goes about as well as one could hope: he doesn't attack any passengers, but he does stumble upon a murder victim. Robbie wants the killer to pay, for reasons he does not understand. Eli wants Robbie to finally fulfill his end of the deal and kill somebody, anybody. To avenge the innocent dead, Robbie is finally willing to cooperate. They work together to identify and hunt the killer. Meanwhile, Lisa takes Robbie to meet her parents, Robbie plans for his future, Ramón Cordova pays it forward, Guero Valdez adapts, the woman who got slipped a pink pill puts her apartment back together, a cop from New York comes out west hunting Ghost Riders, and Gabe understands more than Robbie knows.

Struggle to keep up with the exploding amount of lestappen fic on ao3 recently. Any must-read, multi-chapter fic recommendations which are complete recently? Thanks a lot!

well, you have to define recently. but also i dont think i read too many multichapter fics. final disclaimer: i prefer romcom fics, that's my niche and i stand by that so my taste is gonna very much look like it a few highlights i remember: help me hold onto you by @maaxverstappen - im pretty sure it's not finished THAT BEING SAID it's still a banger twitch streamer charles and f1 driver max au cameras in the traffic lights - not a multichapter but i know this person coded this one shot to the moon and back. truly admirable work that must have taken a lot of patience. f1 driver max and singer charles social media au.

meet me in montreal series by @bumblewyn - cute series of one shots following this season! very light fun read

A Healthy Dose of Hair Dye - that one was FUN, f1 driver max and hairdresser charles au (this is becoming a pattern that i swear i havent noticed before lmao). but it's romcom excellence! those i think would fall into the somewhat recent category? i have to admit, i haven't really had time to read too much so i'm kinda slacking behind. non recent but let me add the one i PERSONALLY read recently is give me that fire by @ladysomething - lestappen chef au. i didn't read it when it came out because i'm anti-hopeful ending truther but then got a personal pinky promise by the author that the hopeful ending is more happy than hopeful so i gave it a shot and it was, indeed, happy. also recommend to read anything from her catalogue of fics, they're great, probably my favourite lestappen author on ao3 but i don't want her to know that so keyword is PROBABLY hope i helped at least a bit! if any of YOU have romcom recs, shoot them my way, my inbox is open

[sweetlittlelamb]

Hi! Sorry this is potentially a weird question but I've had weird realisations recently - have you ever identified a common theme among blorbos (potentially including Zevlor?)? If so, want to share what it was?

Are you kidding me? I LOVE THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS!!

So I always thought the single theme of my blorbos was "older man/dilf vibes" buuut that doesn't account for all of them. I think there are actually 3 categories that trigger the blorbo part of my brain:

Sad wet cat man

Mean in a funny way

Older man/dilf vibes

Not all of my blorbos hit all 3 categories, but there are absolutely overlaps.

Take Zevlor, for example- he fits into #1 and #3, but definitely not in #2, and yet he's still my sweet darling blorbo and is starring in my own personal multichapter smutfic.

Kar'niss is another darling blorbo, and he only fits into category #1 and maaaaybe #3 if I squint real hard.

Rolan fits #1 and #2.

Gale fits #1 and #3 (he's sort of a cat dad and he has grey streaks in his hair, that's close enough for me).

Now Raphael? OHHH THIS BLORBO RIGHT HERE HITS ALL THREE. He's a sat wet cat man who just wants to show up his horrible daddy Mephistopheles, he's mean in a very funny way (he calls you pipsqueak if you piss him off), and he is as finely aged as the most expensive wine ✨️

....you know what, after re-reading this I think the actual overarching theme is probably just "sexy voice." Well, the other 3 categories are still important too, I guess! 😅

Thank you for this ask!! 😘💖

shinazugawa sanemi is NOT the love interest of my dream office romcom! - chapter 4 (tell me)

an | notes at the end. likes/rbs/comments appreciated <3 find the masterlist here cw/wc | lovesick fools, mdni (18+), 2.2k+

It’s Saturday and you’re on an economy flight to Okinawa. Out of context, it seems like a dream. Sandy beaches, cultural heritage sites, black sugar desserts… You’d be ten times, no, a thousand times more excited if you weren’t sitting next to your boss. 

Shinazugawa sits strapped into his seat, his legs cast wide open and bumping into your knee. You have to shimmy to the other end of your seat so that you can avoid touching him. Unfortunately, Shinazugawa takes it as an invitation to spread his legs even wider than before, forcing you to sit uncomfortably in order to make space for him. 

“Shinazugawa,” you say placidly. “You’re really considerate of my personal space, you know?”

You smile sweetly. Too sweetly, in fact, that Shinazugawa finds it eerie, and mumbles something along the lines of ‘my bad’. You force your legs open and bump into his knee, hard. Shinazugawa keeps his legs to himself after that. 

The flight takes about two and a half hours to Okinawa’s Ishigaki airport from Tokyo. You’d love to work on that multichapter story you have going on, but you quite obviously can’t let Shinazugawa see the skeletons in your closet one more time. Instead, you close your eyes and put on your headphones. 

As much as you have written fanfiction about perfect relationships more times than you can count – surprising your partner with a bouquet of flowers, heated make-out make-up sessions in the rain, cute domestic moments –  your real life experience regarding love and romance is lacking. No one you dated was really that great or lasted that long. Once you entered the workforce, you’d been too busy to even think about entertaining someone else’s time. 

You’ve gone through a whole assortment of partners: cheaters, manipulators, gaslighters, mommy’s boys, gold diggers, even the one person who tried to steal your underwear. The bar is quite literally in hell. Despite this, you’ve found that many of the partners over the course of your life seem to stumble over it anyways. Dating apps are a shitfest of ‘looking for a good time’, which translates into ‘looking for a quick fuck’. Chance encounters leaves creeps who include stalkers, perverts, and possibly psychopaths, which you would love to avoid for your own safety. 

Shinazugawa sits firmly in the ‘No Dating’ category because he’s your boss (though you may be inclined to move him to a greyer area, given the chance). Office relationships are more trouble than what they’re worth and rumours spread through the departments faster than a forest fire. Last week, you heard that Uzui from Graphic Design got caught with not one, but three employees outside a love hotel. You shudder at the thought of having your personal life turning into office gossip, a quick laugh for employees who linger in the break room too long. Though, the whole foursome thing sounds pretty interesting, and you stow that memory away for a future writing project. 

You may be strongly against dating your boss, but he does have some redeeming qualities. For what it’s worth, Shinazugawa is good-looking and… kind? The adjective floats in the air, and you’re unsure if you’ve actually had him be nice to you. He’s usually annoyed at most things. On the off chance he isn’t, Shinazugawa’s eating some sort of traditional sweet. Rumours say he once smiled while drinking matcha, though you doubt that. 

You wouldn’t peg Shinazugawa (haha) to be the most gentlemanly, kindhearted person in the world, but surely there’s some good in his cold, dark heart. Either that or the stroke game might make up for it. You don’t know if you want to know the answer to that one. 

You try to think about something other than boning your boss. 

You try really, really hard. 

.

When you land, a driver picks you up from the airport and drives you to the ferry terminal, where you and Shinazugawa catch a boat ride from Ishigaki to Taketomi island. You’re thankful you’re not easily seasick, but the short trip makes Shinazugawa look like he’s ready to throw up overboard. You pretend not to notice. 

The island is quiet, with a population of about 300 people. It’s a life away from Tokyo. For once, you aren’t assaulted with the familiar trill of a Suntory advertisement, or neon lights raging from a dingy bar. The sunlight is pleasantly warm, making the back of your neck damp. You take in a slow, deep breath of the ocean air. It’s refreshing. 

Your accommodation for the night is a short walk away. A few stray cats loiter shyly by the front gate, staring at you with their narrow pupils till you get too close and they scamper off into the bushes. The owner is a pleasant middle-aged man. He shows you the annexed guest house and the amenities, before leaving you and Shinazugawa to settle down. 

A cool wave of air conditioning hits you as you enter the guest house, making your skin prickle. You instantly spot two twin beds. Thank god. It isn’t quite as secure as having separate rooms, but you guess that management was already trying to cut down the budget on your trip, so this will have to do.

You’re quick to claim the bed nearest to the wall. If anything happens, you could pretend to be asleep and have your back turned to Shinazugawa. You have a myriad of backup plans just in case of the trip going south. Including, but not limited to: getting diarrhoea, falling and getting caught in Shinazugawa’s buff arms, him finding your ugly high waisted grandma underwear, or even sneaking through your phone and discovering your writing blog. The solution to one of those situations may include you ‘disappearing’ off the coast of Taketomi. You’d catch an early ferry back, dispose of a fake corpse off the beach, move back to your rural hometown and plant vegetables for the rest of your life.  

You like to think of yourself as overprepared, and not so much an overthinker. 

Honestly, you weren’t exactly pleased about sharing a room. What if Shinazugawa smothers you to death with a pillow? What if he finds out you snore and tells everyone at work? Or worst of all, what if you’re gassy in your sleep and fart bomb your boss? You can’t exactly quell all your fears, you suppose. You simply pray that dinner tonight is gentle on your gut. On the other hand, there’s the image of Shinazugawa emerging fresh from a hot bath, his hair wet and a towel loosely tied around his waist. Now, that’s something you can certainly distract yourself with. 

You busy yourself with setting your bags down. You hadn’t brought much, just a change of clothes, skincare, and some other essentials (including an emergency fake passport for, you know, purposes). Shinazugawa stretches his arms above his head with a heavy sigh. You briefly glance over at him from your corner of the room. His shirt rises over the waistband of his pants, showing a sliver of pale skin and the elastic of his underwear. Black and white, simple and mature. Blood rushes to your face. You duck your head, accidentally bumping your elbow against the wall, and you yelp in pain.

Shinazugawa turns to look at you. 

“Are you okay?”

You don’t dare to meet his eyes. You can’t explain that the reason why you hit yourself accidentally was because you were ogling Shinazugawa like he was a man slut, so you fold your lips into a tight line and nod. You are in all honesty no better than a man. 

Shinazugawa stares. He wants to walk over and make sure that you’re really okay, but he’s struggling in his own right to not cross the strange, blurry boundary between employer and employee. Sure. You’re cute. Shinazugawa can admit that much. He wouldn’t necessarily say that he has a crush on you, though. Crushes are for teenagers, puppy love that dissolves into disgust when one party gets the ick from something dumb. 

Shinazugawa can’t pinpoint the exact date when his feelings started to get muddled. Around that time, Shinazugawa was noticeably more on edge and shouted for you to come to his office at least twice a day. He was somewhat satisfied with seeing you more often, but your stress and anxiety at work increased as a result. You were convinced your boss was eventually going to murder you for any small mistake you made. Masachika had to text Shinazugawa how you always jolted when someone called your name, a flight response you had unknowingly picked up. He learned to dial down his yelling after that.  

Shinazguawa doesn’t force himself to think about how you pout when he scolds you (which makes him feel bad for a second, but Christ, he really didn’t need you to fuck up that presentation), the sleepy look on your face when you come into work the morning after overtime (eyes all bleary and the back of your hair unbrushed), or the rare moment where you’re professional and incredibly attractive while you whittle down clients to sign a contract – but your lips look soft and your eyes are pretty and if there’s anything that Shinazugawa likes, it’s a mature person who knows how to do their job, but who is also a little dense. 

You may have baited, hooked, and reeled Shinazugawa in without even realising it. He doesn’t want to acknowledge the fact that having you on the same project team was his intention all along, but he’s not the kind of person to admit defeat so easily, even when you’re going to be sharing a room with him for the night. He’s a capable, late twenty-something adult, and Shinazugawa surely doesn’t need you to tempt him more than you already have.

Maybe he wants to be tempted. He’ll never admit it. 

When Shinazugawa found you that night, fanfiction lighting up the dim office with your bright monitor, he wasn’t dumb enough to scold you right away. He watched you from a safe distance, reading the words on your screen as his face warmed till his head was about to explode from the sheer pressure. You were writing about him – him! Calling him handsome, stunning, soul-achingly good looking. 

It took a few searches to find your blog. Shinazugawa thought he was about to lose his mind, staying up till the wee hours in the morning when he finally found your username (he should remind you about the permanence of an internet footprint). Then he read it: the fanfiction you wrote about him. The lewd, ludicrous thoughts you had about him, barely concealed behind the character’s first name of ‘Shinawa’. He allowed himself to huff a soft laugh. It took everything in Shinazugawa not to blow his cover. He knows you hate him, despite the glorifying posts where you bemoan wanting to bed him in all sorts of positions he had to Google. It was wrong, shameful even, but only if he didn’t like you. Shinazugawa spent the rest of the night tossing and turning in bed. It felt utterly stupid: a working adult who was overwhelmed with sticky, sweet feelings that made his heart skip a beat. He certainly had arrhythmia, and was not lovesick.

Shinazugawa’s never been great at romance. His rough and tough personality scared off many people in his younger years, where he was prone to flare up at everyone and anyone. It wasn’t really his fault. He wasn’t ever taught how to manage his emotions and still struggles to not turn to anger like some sort of drug. Emotions mean vulnerability, and vulnerability means he’s defenceless, so Shinazugawa keeps his sensitive heart buried under years of repression and ignorance. 

The one girl he confessed to, Kocho Kanae, rejected him gently saying that she wasn’t interested in men at all. He spent a whole month moping, pledging to himself that he’ll never fall in love again. 

Thankfully for the both of you, Shinazugawa has absolutely no clue on how to woo anyone, nor does he want to ruin the professional image both of you have worked so hard to maintain. He keeps his feelings for you under lock and key, hoping that one day, you’ll cave and be the one to confess for both of your sakes. Shinazugawa may be good at most things (settling his year-end taxes, formatting a Word document, and working out regularly), but when it comes to love, he’s a total fucking idiot. 

Shinazugawa finally relents. He turns back to his own bag with a shrug, picking out what he needs to explore the island, mainly sunscreen and his phone for photos and notes.  

“Ready to go?” 

You shoulder your tote and adjust the cap that you’ve pulled over your head. You think you see Shinazugawa’s cheeks turn pink, but you don’t think too much of it. Maybe it’s the heat getting to him. Shinazugawa steps out of the guest house and back into the humid air. 

Fuck, the both of you think. Why did Masachika have to abandon us? 

You hope you manage to survive the trip without Shinazugawa killing you.

Shinazugawa hopes you don’t find out he wants you as someone more than a colleague.

ɞ an | this chapter was a little more serious, but we finally got to see sanemi's pov on things!! what do you think? next 2 chapters will still be on the okinawa trip :3c i'm struggling to write soft!sanemi and not make him ooc, so hopefully it reads ok >< huge shoutout to bound by internetpistols for helping me get through this writing hiccup i've been having... writing is hard...

[fayes-fics]

Responses to my fics are a little low lately, so I’m concerned I’m not writing the content people want to read.

So, tell me…

I have requests/WIPs in all of these categories, with the exception of Regency threesome. But y’know, I’m sure I could brainstorm something 😁

And yeah I don’t tend to write angst, only a dash in multichapters.

Thank you for voting 🧡🧡

Shadyverse Re-verse fic list

Miraculous World Paris dark themed fanfics

Original post here: Compliance

Decided to create a separate post for this list. These are re-verse fics dealing with angst, bullying, abuse, war, death and co-dependency; themes that were (surprisingly) introduced in the Paris special. These are not the fluffy lovely ones. I should make a separate list because I love them too.

**trigger warning** read at your own discretion.

==== I am finally back to catching up with my fic-reading in 2025 so... list will be updated ====

Complete:

2025 update

@hamsteriffic MUST READ Requiem for a Dream Hugely popular. I don't want to spoil much but this fic is like 3 different genres in one humongous volume (yes these numbers are correct Words:141,110 Chapters:35/35). The art is gorgeous, characters are complex and the story runs well wrapped up arcs. Plus it comes with a soundtrack. Not for the faint of heart because it's a deep dive to the world of the Supreme (guess what, Supreme included as a character). Go read with an open mind because this fic is R rated (Explicit) for a reason. But you will not regret reading it. And after you read it go and take a look at the comment section... you'll have fun.

@ladynoirfanao3 Dawning Light paired with the mirrored spinoff "Sideways" *still ongoing* this series will go down history the most popular Shadyverse/Reverse Miraculous series in this angsty category (correct me if I'm wrong). And it is Why have the cool reverse kids if you can have them mingle with the normie versions. Hello!!! This is Shadybug paired with our lovely sunshine boy. She brings enough emo emotion to the story... I'm shipping them so HARD!

@monpetitchattriste Dying on the Inside one shot. Explores the very steamy toxic relationship between pre-special Claw and Shadybug. Touches on their personal struggles and how they are using each other to escape reality. Beautiful and emotional. There's a sequel in the works. Check below.

@xiueryn You can call me villain Complete multichapter re-verse Shadyverse fic about parent abuse, bullying, death, crime and two young teenagers navigating it all. Just read it. Thank me later.

@tanzle 's Caring Fleabag don't let the cute title fool you. this is gritty, action packed and heavily emotional. Multichapter and complete.

@dreamer-from-yuggoth @artemonh has many ficlets You know my name (Shady and Claw post-special realize their new purpose), I would let you win (The supreme bloody games) Blood on his hands (Claw's haunting memories), Shadybug tattoo (this is actually a sweet romantic one. Love it <3)

@toxinellebug Extensive and detailed Alt world ruled by the Supreme. Too many fav posts to count. It's like a re-verse AU encyclopedia. I think this is complete but you never know... an update might be around the corner. Update: Yeah! New posts

Frisky69's To a World of Absolution was the first fic i read that explores the final moments of Shadybug and Clawnoir. *awestruck*

AelitaYoru's La Chute du Double Maléfique I'm still obsessed with the veins/disease effect of the miraculous. They better refer to it in S6

@aanabear2803 surprised me with this tiny ficlet You don't belong here Lila got what she deserved from the evil pair *trigger warning*

Ongoing:

@ladynoirfanao3 Sideways **ongoing audiobook** sequel to Dawning Light and featuring my favorite Adrien version. (sorry chat... i'm a Claw fan thru and thru) so OF COURSE this is my favorite between the two. I'm partial to it and I am still reading it. PLUS there's a PODFIC. Not AI. This is the real deal. Adds so much to listen Claws inner struggles and nonchallant attitude and how he is balanced with Ladybug's energy. Drama.

@revolutionary-thoy 's ML Paris Reverse AU * Felix/Kagami/Luka vs the Supreme release ** project in hiatus for now** Still love it.

The Project Reverse AU X. <-love this! Where u can see feat. the big/evil sword. That is the one Shady is handling on the fanart above.

This has grown into EPIC levels. Fav of mine: @justmywritingstuff Speechless Changes AO3 Full of emotions. I think there's only 1/2 chapter left to turn to a complete fic. ALMOST there ... PLEASE FINISH THIS if you can. no pressure but yes please.

@monpetitchattriste @Skin and Bones sequel to dying on the inside. Who knows, might be continued one day. First chapter opens with a lot of promise. Love their dynamics in this fic.

Purple_doom's Dead set against (ongoing) might be abandoned but the three chapters are worth a read. Post special. Reformed Shady and Claw try to survive without being discovered by The Supreme!!

I hope there are more... I am fascinated by the gritty side of this re-verse world.

[shydroid3000]

1, 2, & 3 if you like! ✨✨

Ask game

1.Recommend a fic that lives in your brain rent free.

So many, but one ongoing fic I've thought about a lot since it started is "drive to the ocean all through december" by that_one_reader. It's a Satosugu no curses au. A coming-of-age type setting, where the present-day is college, but a significant portion of the fic is made up of the past as well (like elementary school onward). It follows the perspective of a very autistic Gojo Satoru in a way that is really special to me. There is angst, but the fic has such a heartfelt and authentic feel to it. Funny, sweet, messy, human. Oh and aside from the Satosugu, Gojo's friendship with Nanami since childhood is heavily featured, and it is seriously so sweet and rich. It's a fic that has my heart in its hands, but treats it with care. I am cheating and doing two here because I also have to mention bazpango's hockey Lawlight au "Forty Seconds on the Clock." I beta read that one and it is pure joy and brainrot lol. Baz and I have fujo'd out about it so much and I am just so invested in the world. It is one of the Lawlight fics I've read that makes me feel the *most* compassion and empathy for Light. Like, he is still the petty, arrogant bitch we all know and love lol. But there are so many moments I'm thinking "aw, Light...." and wanting to just hug him. The Lawlight moments are electrically fun and satisfying, but Light's dynamic with his family (especially Soichiro) adds such depth and richness. Anyway I'll stop because this fic really does live in my brain and I could go on for ages lol.

2.Recommend a fic that is not posted on AO3.

OHH I had to scroll through the fanfic tag on my blog to find something that wasn't also on AO3, but I am so glad I did because it brought me back to this incredible short fic "geodesics" by @luzon-dove. It's a Lawlight alternate ending type scenario. I don't want to say much else because it really speaks for itself. But it is so fucking good. The inherent carnage of Lawlight. L's poor heart.

3.Recommend fic that is less than 5,000 words. Well, technically the above counts for this category too haha. But "the shortest poem is a name" by @thedarknesseater comes to mind. Technically it's a first chapter of a multichapter fic but for now it is under 5000 words so I'm counting that here lol. It's a Gojo/Inumaki fic (canonverse) and I have thought about it so much since reading it. Anyway, it's a ship that had never really crossed my mind, but once I read this it just made so much sense. As a fellow Lawlight-er I'm sure you can appreciate how heavy with implication the question "what's in a name?" can be haha. And this fic approaches that subject in a really compelling way. Gojo being the untouchable and Inumaki being the person whose power lies in *speech* rather than physicality makes for such an interesting dynamic. Oh, and I adore the title of this one. Also I'm a sucker for pervy teacher Gojo, haha.

skip your early classes, let’s learn how our bodies work chapter one: i

“So,” Lovino starts, speaking slowly and deliberately as he puts the pieces together on what may be the dumbest puzzle he has ever seen, but by God it may just be dumb enough to work. “You want us to get married to get better financial aid. Right?” Antonio nods. “Right.” “And then, you want us to get divorced after we graduate. Am I understanding this correctly?” Antonio nods. Again. “Yes.” After a minute of deliberative silence on Lovino’s part and impatient, twitching eagerness on Antonio’s, Lovino hums, shrugs, and turns back to his laptop. “Minimum three free meals and a nap. With pasta.” Or, a story of two idiots in love, as told in three parts. multichapter, spamano.

Bake Date (Opera x gn!reader)♦

Fresh from the human world, you can't help but feel out of place as the new lady of the manor. Far too used to having to take care of yourself and Iruma by doing everything from cooking and cleaning to working long hours in the hopes of giving him a better life, you felt rather disgruntled at having absolutely nothing to do. After all, your adoption into the Sullivan family meant getting a do-it-all family butler who refused to allow you to do anything even remotely based in those categories. However, in all these years you had actually grown rather fond of baking. 

And come hell or high water, you were going to enjoy the kitchen space again.

how do you write. (specifically fics)

i have like some ideas currently but i havent brought myself to write anything yet at all 😭

also any tips/advice you find helpful would be cool too

Vjejfiejkf ty for this ask, I'm actually so honored--

First of all, I tend to write everything on my phone in a writing app, bc I'm not about that Laptop life, but otherwise, uh, I'll throw this into two categories--

Oneshots: generally for one shots I get beamed with an idea and immediately go Yap about it, either on my server or with one or two specific people that I know will help me develop it via feedback :3

then, I generally jot down a synopsis of what I have so far and random little ideas of what I want to include, usually so I can return later and know wtf I was thinking to do next. I have a good few WIPs where I didn't end up doing that, and guess who doesn't know how to continue them now, so yeah, always do AT LEAST a brief little synopsis. Also goes for multi chapter fics, ofc. They also don't have to be serious or anything, like, this was the thing up top for my mind jekyon fic:

Very silly, but it gets the whole idea and big points across.

Multichapter fics: okay, this one's,,, a decent bit different, mainly bc I have my girlfriend (who also edits my stuff) plotting things for A Little Identity bc I'm actually really bad at plotting and pacing longer stuff.

I usually go to her with ideas and future plans and she'll dive deeper into the ideas I have for the next chapter I need to write so I have more guidance, makes things much easier for me, bc I get stuck less.

But, this could also probably be substituted once more by must talking with someone you think could help you develop it. Feedback and extra ideas are a writer's best friend! Go yap about your ideas! Especially with someone you know will bounce ideas back with you!

Motivation to write tho,,,, I have a few things.

-listening to a playlist or songs that remind you of a character or certain scenario you wanna write about. I have a character playlist for each of my tgs OCs, and then one for A Little Identity in general, and there are a few songs I straight up associate with future chapters that I can't even talk about yet. They form a whole little scene in my head, and having that makes it much easier to write it. Additionally, when I maybe get stuck with characterization, I'll go listen to that specific characters playlist. Music is your best friend! I've gotten beamed MANY ideas from songs, at random sometimes too.

-do a sprint with sprinto! It's a discord bot that gives you a 15 minute timer and takes your starting and ending word count and calculates it, ranking it against anyone else who did the sprint with you. It's very good for more competitive people, and it's a very nice thing to have on a server. I've seen it get people out of a writer's block on my server, so it's certainly nice to use.

-let the writing drive come to you. I won't lie, most days just aren't writing days for me. The English language will allude me, I'll get stuck on where I want to go next, dialogue will destroy me, etc.

I think writing is just kinda like that sometimes, so just write what you can when you can! If you have a main fic you feel you need to update but also a bunch of little oneshots, then work on whatever you feel the drive to! There's no point in trying to force yourself to work on one thing when you have a bunch of ideas for another thing-- the most important thing is that you wrote in general.

The time will come when you get the motivation and ideas for that other thing, so just do what you can when you can, writing is writing :3

-reread what you've already written, or if it's a fanfic, reread/watch the source material. I can't tell you the number of times rereading all of Lanyon's lore pages has given me new ideas with Elias, as well as just reading through old stuff or incomplete oneshots that have my OCs and such. Sometimes you just need a refresher!

-read other fics. This generally helps see how other people format things, which can sometimes help when you're struggling. Sometimes I'll also search for stuff that has specific things that I don't know how to describe very well.

Andddddd I think that's all I've got? Hopefully this helps people, so go out and write! There's never enough fan fics 🙏thank you again for the ask :3
