Summary

Even as the ax begins to descend, much can flourish in the misty mountains of Aldhani. A study in Cinta & Vel in one direction, and Skeen & Nemik in another.

Originally written for @andorappreciation for the prompt Parallels & Favorite Setting, except I'm posting it today (free day) because it wasn't done on Sunday 🥲

i'm so glad the votes are getting it right because i was ready with RECEIPTS literally the first scene we meet them they stare into each others eyes and Nemik looks away immediately

Wandor Wednesday Wars #3 - Round One

STARING CONTEST - WHO WOULD WIN?

It's simple: whoever blinks, laughs, or looks away first is the loser. Who's not the loser?

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by dear @boasamishipper. emily you're an enabler

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 45!

2. What's your total Ao3 word count? 347,538!

3. What fandoms do you write for? literally whatever gets in my craw at any given moment. I will publish one fic for a fandom and then disappear forever, just try me. but I think I will be writing for hbo Perry Mason and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe forever.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? 1. When This is All Over - Stephen King's IT, Richie/Eddie 2. Light My Candle - Les Mis RENT au (written in 2013! Kill me!) 3. Too Easy - West Side Story 2021, Tony/Riff 4. And Back - The Mummy 2017, Nick/Vail (I am always thinking about The Mummy 2017 and you can't stop me) 5. such a little thing - The Goldfinch 2018, Theo/Boris

5. Do you respond to comments? I try to! I'm really trying to get better about responding to comments. Each one is a little gift, and I do want people to know how much I appreciate it.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I mean both guess how much and The're the Same Thing are fics where characters are go, 'should I kill myself?' and then at the end they land on a resounding 'yes! and I will! as soon as possible!' So those feel the angstiest to me

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I think it's A Long Retirement! Get happy, Philip Marlowe! Move in with a guy! 'I never saw him again' AS IF, babe, move to mexico instead.

8. Do you get hate on fics? nope 👍the joy of writing in tiny fandoms where no one cares

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I'm starting to! I'm working on it! smut is a means to an end to romance for me (except my The Bear syd/richie fic which is in fact smut as a means to an end of we-hate-each-other)

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? nah! except for my little same-world hints that I love to drop into things (perry mason-philip marlowe crossover my beloved) and then my one The Lost Boys-Stand By Me fic

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i'm aware of 👍

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? yeah! and what an honor

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

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? I think it's gotta be philip marlowe/terry lennox. a life changing ship. guys I think about every single day of my dang life.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I have a thousand of them. most pressing that I most want to finish are probably my Andor skemik everybody lives au and my MASH crabapple crabs Trapper Goes to Maine prequel

16. What are your writing strengths? I think characterization! dialogue. I think if someone ever said to me, "he would not fucking say that" I would stop writing for months to reexamine my entire worth

17. What are your writing weaknesses? plots! titles! plots! literally plots that go somewhere and do something are my weakest suit l.o.l. 🙃🙃

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I don't do it (instead using the age old work arounds), and when I do, it's only in languages I speak. So while I have enough German to do a little German in fics, but I really don't do it because I have never been confident in my language skills ever in my whole life!

19. First fandom you wrote for? probably it was Stargate SG-1 :)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? okay so keep in mind that I basically never want to look at a fic I wrote before 2015 ever in my whole life, AND the target audience for everything I've ever written is Me in the Future, so this is big grain of salt territory. The one that really jumps to mind, that I come back to and remain happy with the writing, pleased by the idea, etc etc is a fic that comes up a lot in ask games and so on: Route 117 (also March! which is for an audience of literally only me, I think, but I do like it) (and all my perry mason fics let's be real)

tagging @majorbaby if you want to do it

so many damn fics floating around in gdocs and my brain here are the things I need to finish/start/fix

aegond brothel fic - so incredibly tantalisingly almost finished but something ain't right! I need to fix the pacing and break it up into chapters or get rid of stuff or add stuff or all of those things. or just post it as it is and hope for the best.

rpf - definitely over halfway done but my stamina is failing me because it's one scene that's already 11k and they're even on the damn bed yet. agonising. but I've come too far to give up.

carageta prophetic dreams au - also a "they lived!" au but without the happiness of that trope. this one I'm so psyched for because it will feature tegula who will be serving knock off the hound asoiaf & because there will be lots of mythology and history to sink my teef into. haven't really started it yet though except for ramblings and notes.

macrinus/thraex - sorry but the toxic old men are so compelling. macrinus pov because I'm desperate to come up with some backstory. not started or even particularly thought about yet.

wellington paranormal minogue dogboy fic - so so so dumb but it made me laugh when I dusted it off the other day so I need to finish it at some point just for the hell of it. originally it was going to be a little horny but I will probably rein it in for the sake of the target audience.

weird syril fic - I just need to finish the second chapter of this which was once SO vivid in my mind and now is not. might wait for my s1 rewatch so I can get back in the headspace.

brienne/jamie - absolutely no plan for this but I got really emo reading asos yesterday and scribbled some stuff down for some? pegging? I guess? pegging with a sword hilt? I guess I'll find out!

tyrion/bronn - I don't knowwwwww these two just got to me a little I'm not even sure what I'd write but it feels like it's hovering close enough to catch if I focus.

two little boys epilogue fic - also dredged this up the other day and laughed aloud multiple times so even though nobody in the world will read it, it's gotta be finished. will need to reread the book though (after I finish asos2)

skemik fic - it's only one scene right now but I love it and must finish it. waiting for my s1 rewatch as well though.

david 8/walter freakery - enjoyed writing the first part of this years ago and then reread it recently and realised it was fucking terrible. probably just need to start it over and reinsert the good bits.

david 8/oram - had a really vivid idea for this that needs to repossess me at some point because it was so dark and fun. just gotta rewatch the film I guess :)

a different rpf - I should finish this just because it was fun but I need a more solid plan. writing whatever comes to mind is fine when it's one scene but not when there's more. sad!

this is not including the shit I've definitely abandoned. but I might finish the last chapter of a daredevil fic I wrote in 2015 and post it separately because the vibe and style are very different. there's a stefan 3 steps to heaven fic I started once that was so vivid it haunts me but I don't know if I'll ever get round to it :(

prev tags by @sunsgrave: #this is driving me insane#if Skeen was just faking it the whole time/only in it for the money then what the fuck was up with that gentle little cheekbone touch!#cold enough to betray them all but he comforted a boy why he was dying? what the fuck?#the writing in this show is too good

hi dani ily how about 7/11 for fic writing ask game

hiiii ily <3 thanks for the questions

(these are from the 2023 in review fanfic writer asks)

What character(s) captured your heart?

Cassian Andor and Cinta Kaz... my beloveds. Andor TV show of all time. when will she return to me.

What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing?

Akelarre! The idea was rattling around in my brain for a while (whenever Skemik got popular among the Andor blogs I follow lol) and I worked on like a slow trickle, especially since it didn't really have a deadline (although Andor week definitely helped me by dangling a deadline in front of my face).
