Canary

Probably my magnum opus. The character arc that Marinette goes through is extremely gratifying. AND it's funny as hell. Truly, the whole package.

Bound

I have a personal beef with soulmate aus and it shows.

How to train your Drake

One of those stories where you can tell the author is having fun while writing it, I feel. More worldbuilding than story, and a breath of fresh air for me personally considering worldbuilding is my favorite thing about writing.

Sisyphean

I like writing characters playing mind games with each other, what can I say? Also, ADeuce is doomed by the narrative and it gives me life. Because I'm a sadist.

Dancing 'til the break of dawn

Reinterpreting characters in a way that suits their new circumstances is probably one of my favorite things to do. And I LOVE zombie aus. Technically a story made for me and me alone but other people can read it if they want. :D

Hmmmm tags

@izanae @starwarsmum @otome-wandering @wildbookcat @sarcasticbambi

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love! <3

Thank you @aimmyarrowshigh for the tag!

The Steady Beat of Her Heart - Kate Bishop/Yelena Belova Yelena gets roofied while out on a mission and Kate is there for her. Together they track down those responsible and deal out some vigilante justice. I loved this as I got to explore protective Kate and see how and what she'd do to make sure Yelena wasn't harmed again. This fic was actually a drabble to begin with and with some encouragement, skylarkblue suggested I try to flesh it out.

Bluebird Caged - Kate Kane/Harper Row When Kate rescues Harper, she doesn't realise she's in love with her until Leslie Thompkins decides to meddle. I love this fic because I got to explore both a soft and caring side to Kate.

You Give Me Strength, You Give Me Hope - Christine Chapel/La'an Noonien Singh Christine decides to accompany La'an across the galaxy while trying to help Oriana find her family. On their quest they face many difficulties including an accidental marriage that becomes too real, and feelings they can't hide from one another. This fic is one of my favourite. Getting to explore their relationship while having barely anything to work with has been a hurdle, but I love where this fic is going. It's about half complete and I hope to write a lot more of it this coming November.

You Know I'm Here For You - Wednesday Addams/Enid Sinclair After being attacked by a group of thugs, Enid is scared and alone. She calls the only person she can trust. This one was a little challenging to write but I enjoyed the challenge and learnt how to experiment a little with my writing.

Leave That World Behind - Darcy Lewis/Wanda Maximoff & Lorna Dane After finding out about her past and who her biological family are, Wanda gets a phone call one night. Her eleven year old sister is an orphan with no where to go - she's unsafe where she is with suspected mutant abilities. Darcy and Wanda travel to the US to bring Lorna home to her new family. I love this fic as I got to explore different sides of Wanda and how she and Darcy came together to take care of her sister.

hi rowan 💖

Before Evan can register more than that, Barty kisses him fiercely, and Evan is sure it’s just to get him to shut up but honestly, he doesn’t care because fuck Barty kisses like fire.

How did you get into writing?

As a hobby? I've been doing it since I was a little kid, actually. My first grade teacher made us do creative writing every day, and I've been doing it since. It's fun for me :D

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

For the ship rating: CassNette?

I've always felt that you could just read Kagaminette fics and get the same fix, but I think it's cute. Need more lesbians in the fandom. Especially considering how many of our authors are queer women lmao.

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

Timari!!

It makes sense. I've written it a bunch now so it compels me less than it did like 3 years ago. But its still a fun ship <3

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

What's your favourite trope?

Found family :D

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

4? :0

4. Post a screenshot of one of your favorite comments

Let's seeee. I could go the sentimental route and point to the first comment one of my friends put on one of my works (if I did, I'd probably point to my friend Ace :D), but that seems a little biased, soooooo...

Probably this one on Dancing 'Til the Break of Dawn:

I reread it whenever I'm feeling down :D

Thanks for asking!

They're very similar and I think they'd made a cute couple. But also. I think it would be way funnier if they absolutely hated each other's guts.

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

Ok so I don’t have a particular scene in mind, so could you maybe give me an analysis of how Stalker x Stalker came to be?

(Stalker x Stalker)

Stalker x Stalker was basically a character analysis that I added jokes to, to be honest. I know the humor is most of what it's known for (which is valid, it's hilarious), I can't really analyze that. So.

I saw their stalking tendencies and decided that I would make it my mission to make it all believable and understandable. I might have done too well because I still have people talking about how they're "goals" or whatever.

I wanted my audience to sympathize with the characters, which meant that I needed them to behave in specific ways that felt 'justifiable' from the audience's point of view. Hence why the POVs switch and the stalking is entirely mutual - it makes people feel like it's not quite as bad. But you have to remember, for the earlier parts they had no idea that they themselves were being stalked. It's easy to forget as an omniscient reader, but it's important to consider when talking about their moralities. They did not know it was mutual. Yes, Tim knew that he was being listened in on, but he thought it was her vetting him.

Which is what it started as, to be fair... speaking of! The slow descent was extremely important in this. If it went too fast, it would risk alienating the audience and pulling them out of the character's heads, meaning they would sympathize less, and that would defeat the point. This meant that the worsening of their states had to take time.

Of course, the starting point was... complicated. I needed to have them start off seeming... well, perhaps not reasonable, but understandable. Hence why Tim starts off paranoid about her getting hurt in a city known for its crime, and Marinette starts out concerned about him wearing one of her shirts because he just so happened to meet him on a secluded rooftop.

Speaking of, Marinette being cautious about having a stalker was a fun addition to the story. Both Tim and Marinette are against stalking. If they caught a stranger stalking someone they'd punch their teeth in. But they don't see what they're doing as stalking at all.

Their idea of stalking and crime in general is very much skewed towards the way it's portrayed on TV. It's why they overall seem chill around Rogues in this, outside of Joker (and Punchline, by extension). The other Rogues have understandable motivations and are sane like half of the time, so surely they can't be that bad. Joker, though? Cartoon villain, deserves to be in jail.

Speaking of TV! They watch two different movies with stalker main characters. Their behavior is normalized in their own minds.

And, in Tim's case, the behavior is normalized amongst his peers and family. The bats in this story, while not being as bad as Tim or Marinette, are also hinted to have stalker tendencies. Tim is a product of his environment - tendencies that were already somewhat problematic only got heightened because they were actively encouraged in the vigilante-field.

As for the original problematic behaviors... their motivation is loneliness. Partially because I knew it was one my audience would likely be able to relate to, but also because a lot of stalkers (the ones that aren't deluding themselves into thinking their 'love' is mutual) tend to be extremely lonely people, hence why they cling so heavily to those that do not care for them. Some of them believe that they just need to be given a chance, others crave intimacy and therefore long to know every little detail about a person, etc. And everyone deserves to feel loved, romantically or platonically, right? How can a person be bad when all they want is to care and be cared for? It's only human, after all.

And... there we go! That's why Stalker x Stalker works!

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

Also. Joker is dead in this. Mari and Adrien sniped his pasty ass when they were in Gotham digging up Jason's body

(Enemy of my Enemy author note. I now require details.)

(The enemy of my enemy is ALSO my enemy)

Joker is dead. They sniped his pasty ass on the way to digging up Jason's body. Like a McDonald's run but like for murder. I don't know how I could be more clear about that.

But a little more seriously...

So. We've talked a little about how Enemy of my Enemy is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy in the comments before (Marinette and Adrien met Jason when he escaped Lazarus Holdings to yell at them, he was only in Lazarus Holdings because they got attached enough to want to bring him back). But just because they were told his name doesn't mean that it was enough to find his body.

A cursory glance over that and who 'Robin' was was more than enough for them to get a general idea of what had happened. And, well, I thought it would be an interesting parallel to have Jason kill Hawkmoth for them technically he dragged Hawkmoth down to eternal damnation but same difference, and Adrienette later takes out his main villain with their magic.

I like to think that Adrienette considered killing and bringing Joker back over and over again for funsies, but decided not to because Jason was still in Lazarus Holdings and they didn't want to force him to see Joker again, even if it was just for a few minutes. So instead Marinette just outright killed him and Adrien dissolved his body. They threw his ashes into the sea to make sure he could never be brought back again <3.

Anyways, you can't be siblings if you're not ready to literally commit murder for them at any moment I said what I said.

OH MY GOD I AM SO HOOKED ON UNFAMILIAR

I'M SO CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW THE KIDS GOT UNDER CROWLEY'S CONTROL

(I am also awaiting excitedly for when Grim gets his paws on the Crow Man)

Hehe I’m glad you like it :D it was just gonna be a dumb little fic where ADeuYuu try and summon a familiar but don’t want Grim so they keep trying again and again… but, uh, it kinda got out of hand

As for that… well the answer is in the fic if you look for it :D but things will be made very clear in the next chapter

You're lucky I <3 you and am not fully taking advantage of your ask game.

I <3 u too beloved

Tell about the scene where Marinette sees Talia :)

(Satisfied Alt. Ending)

So, Talia al Ghul is a character that is commonly misunderstood. Mostly because of He Who Must Not Be Named (idc if he has since apologized, he has completely ruined her character). Since His interpretation of her is so vitally important for Damian's character, she is constantly screwed over in canon and fanon.

Ignoring that interpretation, though, Talia is pretty much the epitome of someone who got brainwashed by her parents and is still feeling the effects of it even years later, despite the good influences she now has she still sometimes falls back into what she had learned. Still, she is a good person, and is trying to do better. Not including her in the story where Marinette is healing from being Stockholm Syndrome-d into thinking of Harley as a mother figure would have been a wasted opportunity.

Anyways :D besides that, the scene starts off with Marinette making a terrible first impression that is quickly rectified. It parallels her misunderstanding of what the Pit is not that much later :)
