My sweet darling J! Thank you so much for thinking of me and sending this my way. So sorry for taking forever to respond and to post online, work has been pretty busy but hey I only have 4 days left until the summer school sessions end and I can be back online.

Sending the love and this post right back at you and tagging some other lovelies who deserve this too: @lady-artemis27 @pleasedontlookatmeokay @musedblues @inthedayswhenlandswerefew @sharedshield @emmaandorlando @killerqueen-ofwillowgreen @ecle-c-tic @emotionallydrainedtrash @roger-s-maracas

Hey! I just finished the latest chapter of your witch au and I love it so much! Honestly, it's so underrated?! The characteristics are on point and everything with the lore and magic and the covens is just so exciting! Srsly, it's one of my favorite stories on ao3 and I'm so looking forward to the next chapter! Have you ever thought about how John, Freddie and Roger met, btw? Love ya!

Oh wow! Thank you so much!

and yes! I know I mentioned it a long time ago but the basic gist of it is that each Coven/Family has to send a member out during patrols to make sure that the world is keeping balance, and usually there are about 3-5 people in these groups. They rotate times and John, Roger, and Freddie met on a rotation.

Hey! I saw that you're doing the Bad Things Happen Bingo. Could I request either Nightmares or Take Me Instead? I just finished Timeless and I'm in desperate need of some Garcy whump. Your first fic for the Bad Things Happen Bingo was awesome btw!!

@badthingshappenbingo

Fandom: Timeless 

Trope: Take Me Instead

Rating: T 

Warnings: Child in peril

-“Please.” She’s never heard his voice like this, quite so desperate and broken. He’s come close once or twice, but this is encompassing. Consuming. Suffocating. “Please, give her to me.”

Emma only laughs, tightening her hold. It doesn’t seem like it hurts, which is a relief, but Iris looks terrified, tears streaming down her face.

Iris.

Because somehow, Emma has her. Alive, uninjured, looking like she hasn’t aged a day since that fateful attack. As if she’s somehow been snatched from time and taken here. Lucy has questions, of course, but just at the moment, she also has a mountain of rage for the woman before them, who holds a gun in one hand, and Iris’ wrist in the other.

“Let her go,” Lucy snaps, and Emma rolls her eyes.

“Why? So your guard dog here can kill me? I don’t think so.”

“I won’t,” Flynn promises before she can answer. “If you let her go, I won’t-I won’t hurt you, just, please- ” He’s telling the truth, she can tell, but whether Emma can or not, (and whether or not she cares,) Lucy isn’t sure.

“Daddy, I’m scared,” Iris whispers, and Lucy’s heart shatters. Judging by Flynn’s face, his does the same.

“It’s alright, sweetheart.” He actually manages a smile, small and pained though it is. “It’s gonna be okay.”

But it isn’t. There’s no escape. No way out. Nothing they could do without endangering Iris more, and while Emma probably didn’t save Iris just to kill her, Lucy has no doubts that she’ll do it without hesitation if it comes to that.

They’re out of options.

“Take me instead.” Her voice is louder than she expects; everyone turns to her, wide-eyed, but she keeps her gaze fixed firmly on Emma. (If she sees Flynn’s face in this moment, it might break her.) “You don’t care about Iris. She’s nothing to you. Take me, and let them both go.”

Flynn draws in a sharp breath beside her, but says nothing, does not dare risk Iris’s safety.

Emma hums, assessing her. “I already have you,” she points out, but it doesn’t seem like she’s refusing. No, it’s like a puzzle, and her solving it is a matter of life and death.

Luckily, Lucy has always been good at puzzles.

“Right, but not willingly. If you let them go, I’ll go with you. I’ll sit quietly in my room, or do whatever you want me to do. Without me, they won’t know enough about history to try to stop you.”

“And if I don’t?”

She leans forward, channeling every ounce of her fury-at Emma, at Wyatt, at her mother -into this one moment. “If you hurt either of them, I’ll fight you every step of the way. I’ll rip a hole in history, so everyone will know exactly where to find you.”

Of course, Emma could just kill her, but Lucy knows she won’t. Not since her discovery of the journal. Unfortunately for Emma, she needs Lucy: to write the journal, to save her from the past. Without that, she’ll find herself back in a log cabin, hiding from Jesse James. (Or worse, cozying up to Lucy’s great-grandfather, just trying to earn a modicum of respect.)  

For a long moment, there is near-silence. The only sound she can hear is Iris, quietly sniffling.

Then, Emma beams. “You’ve got yourself a deal, Princess.” She releases Iris suddenly, nearly shoving her forward, and grabs Lucy’s arms in the same movement. “Get out of here, before I change my mind,” she tells Flynn, and Lucy can’t help but look up, to see his reaction.

Oh.

She was right before; it does break her, just a bit.

Raw anguish covers his face, and he glances between her and Iris desperately, maybe trying to find another solution. Maybe looking for a way to rescue both of them, but there isn’t one. She tries to feign a reassuring smile, but it’s weak, and he flinches in response. “At least let me say goodbye,” he pleads.

Surprisingly, Emma doesn’t refuse. “Make it quick,” she snaps, not releasing her hold. Flynn steps forward once, then twice, shakily, Iris clinging to his side. And oh, Lucy would give anything to gather him up in her arms, to whisper reassurances against his ear, but she doesn’t dare pull her arms free. And she is not nearly cruel enough to tell him she loves him, not when he’s about to lose her forever.

“Lucy,” he starts, but his voice breaks, and he cannot seem to find anything else to say.

That’s okay. It’s her turn to be strong for him. “You’re a good man,” she whispers, and a sound that might be a sob escapes his lips. “Take care of Iris. And-” Her mind races for something, anything, to make him smile. “Tell her where Rufus’s secret candy stash is.”

Oh. Him smiling might actually be worse. It’s just a twitch of the lips, pained and weak, and a hint of devastated awe. “Lucy, I lo-”

“That’s enough.” Emma looks pointedly at Iris. “Time’s up. And remember, if you try to come rescue her, I’ll wipe Iris from history. You know, like you did with Amy?”

No. Please don’t make him think of that. But she doesn’t dare speak, just tries to reassure him with her eyes that she loves him, she forgives him, and everything is going to be okay.

With one last heartbroken glance, Flynn scoops Iris up and runs, vanishing into the night. Gone forever.

Emma turns to her with a smile. “Well, Princess. Guess it’s just you and me.”

-

Months pass before she gets a chance. Months of torture and misery and loneliness, and not a single word from Flynn. She understands why, knows he can’t reach out, but she misses him more than she can say. But one night, when Emma is sleeping, Lucy sneaks into her room. In a flurry of bullets and blood, it’s over. She goes to the Mothership, locks herself inside, and sends a signal to the Lifeboat, just like Rufus once taught her. In minutes, they have both ships, and Lucy is back in the bunker. Home.

Flynn holds her so tightly she cannot breathe, refuses to let go. “I love you,” he whispers against her hair, “I love you, I’m sorry, I love you, I had to save Iris-”

“I know.” She clings. Oh, she clings. “I love you. It’s okay.”

Once again, he sobs, but this time, she can, too. There is no need to feign strength or bravery. Not here. Not now.

They do not let go for a very long time.

Thanks for the ask! I hope you enjoyed! Also on AO3, but I’m not linking to it, because Tumblr apparently doesn’t like links. 

[timeless-season-four]

What? I mean WHAT??? I.. I just can't, like I'm gutted, floored, everything at once, and there are ALL THESE EMOTIONS!!! Thank you, seriously, thank you so much for having made a season 3. I think I can speak for all the people who read this that we couldn't have wished for more. There are too many things I immensely enjoyed, like Flufus, Wyatt's growth, a stupidly dramatic declaration of love, Flynn fighting for his family until the very end, AN ENGAGEMENT!! Thank you, thank you, thank you <333

SO MANY EMOTIONS.

Flufus killed us, then brought us back to life, then killed us again. Wyatt had so much growth this season and he gets the award for Most Improved Player. Of course there was no way that stupidly dramatic love declaration was not going to be, well, stupidly dramatic (just think about who was doing it, after all). Our hearts are broken and yet healed over Flynn in the last few episodes and the question facing him now of whether to finally move on and the ultimate reckoning over the fate of his family. And Rufus and Jiya earned that engagement and those crazy kids hopefully get some chance to just enjoy themselves and be nerds for a little bit.

You are most welcome, in other words. We feel very strongly that this is the story and arc that all of these characters deserved, and as we sit back today and take stock of the whole thing, we feel a bit (or a lot) like clucking proud parents.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

It's me, the Magicians anon, uncloaking myself. I've just finished season 1 and 2x01 and 02 and I found out that there are eps where people are singing?! Eliot is gonna sing One Day More at some point which I only know because I watched Les Mis after reading This is theatre department, not a circus (is2g Mads, you're responsible for 50% of my cultural education because it was the same with Anastasia)?! Anyways, I'm so in love with those magic kids and with your writing is all I wanna say

HELLO FRIEND!!! Oh. Oh my dear. You are in for a TREAT. One Day More happens and it’s GLORIOUS, and then there’s a whole musical episode where Kady busts out this burlesque act that is. Um. Oh my. *fans self* It’s hot in here. And SO MUCH MORE. It’s GLORIOUS. But ohmygosh so much still to happen. So much. AAAAAAAHHHHHH. I eagerly await your reaction to certain... ah... things that happen. *chuckles*

aldfjaslfjaslk I am so glad I could introduce you to two such beautiful musicals! I had so much damn fun with the theatre department AU especially because I got to roast certain aspects of my own college theatre department, and the Anastasia AU was just... that musical brings me to tears, I actually can’t listen to it as often as other musical soundtracks because I have to brace myself for a JOURNEY (to the paaaaaast...) every time I do.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL MAGIC KIDS JUST TRYING THEIR BEST AND FUCKING UP BUT BEING REAL GOOD-INTENTIONED ABOUT IT GOD I’D DIE FOR THEM and ohmygoodnes bless you I’m so glad you like my writing, it warms my heart to hear that. <3 I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day/week!

i was tagged.

thank you @sharedshield for tagging me! 

1. Do you like answering tags?

I usually do! I sometimes don’t, it depends on how I’m feeling those days (and if I remember lol).

2. Do you prefer to write fan fiction, read fan fiction, create fan art, make video edits, or none of the above?

I don’t know how to make video edits, and the only fan art I can make are moodboards. Reading versus writing fan fiction, hmm. I do enjoy both, but not really in the same fandoms. The fandoms I read the most in, I’ve never written.

3. Nails painted (include what colour) or not?

I used to always have my nails painted, I have so many bottles of OPI floating around my room. But then like all things in life, I lost the motivation and it felt like way too much effort. I will never forget once I wore a dark green dress to a work event, and I painted my nails dark green to match (OPI’s Envy the Adventure), and a co-worker said to me, “I never thought you were the type of person to wear green nail polish!” I still don’t know what that means.

4. What would your amortentia smell like? (For those who don't know Harry Potter, amortentia is a love potion that smells different to each person based on what attracts them. Basically what are your favourite smells?)

I really like the smell when someone is doing their laundry, and you’re outside walk by their house, and you can smell the hot air that’s coming out their dryer vent. Like meadows and flowers and loveliness. 

5. Would you prefer to live in an extremely hot or cold climate?

I would absolutely hate both, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve lived in places where it can be 45C, and I’ve lived in places where it could be -45C, and I guess I’d go with the -45C. Even though I did get frostbite. I find it easier to layer clothes and sleep under heavy blankets, as opposed to going outside in a tank top and shorts and immediately melting.

6. Favourite flavour of chapstick or do you not wear any?

I use Blistex Ultra Protection SPF 30 Medicated Lip Balm, lol. So, it’s very unflavoured, it’s just plain. My friend did give me an eos lip balm a couple months ago, and it smelled amazing though. I think it was champagne + peach.

7. Enemies to lovers or friends to lovers?

Ooh, I’ve written them both, and read them both! but enemies to lovers is fun. I feel like people like watching them fight and be like “ugh I can’t stand to be around them!” and you’re just reading it like “haha you’re gonna kiss soon.”

8. Favourite crack ship (any fandom)?

I don’t know that I have a crack ship! Maybe I do and I just don’t realize they’re crack ships, that’s possible. I feel like I can’t tell the difference sometimes.

9. Favourite type of weather?

I like when it’s warm enough that I don’t have to wear a jacket, but cool enough that I can still wear jeans and sleeves. I don’t get that kind of weather very often here. It usually just goes from winter to summer and back again.

10. Do you use :), :], or :D?

last movie: Marlene, it just showed at a local (virtual) film festival this week. it falls into a new ranking I created called “is this bad or just Canadian?”
