Oh, oh! Made up title: The Midsummer Incident
This could go either very bad or very harmless in my mind lmao and I haven't decided which instinct would win out so I took my time but--I think I finally have a definitive answer.
And it's... a short story? (wait, wait, stop throwing rotten fruit, it's wasteful! your plants want it!)
"Why do houses bleed?" Morkie—whose name on her birth certificate is Helen Camilla Lynch, but who has a particular set of ideas about whether real names are meant to be used or hidden because she's obsessed with faeries—asks.
I continue buttering the bread. "What do you mean?"
My tone is only curious. No matter their advanced vocabulary, five-year-olds are five-year-olds. Combine that with a fertile imagination, and I'm used to just about anything coming out of my child's mouth. Last week, it had been the deeply philosophical question of whether Santa pays his elves.
(I told her I wasn't sure, and that we could write to him at the end of the year to inquire about his business practices to make sure everything was on the up and up.)
Her attention is on the toast, eagle-eyed that I might screw up the butter-to-bread ratio, which would then throw off the marmalade ratio. "Mr. Barbie's house bled last night."
My head cocks to the side to glance out the kitchen window at the squat house across the street from us. Replicas of Italian statues dot his yard, including an exquisite copy of David that the real estate agent had tried to block with her car when she'd been giving us a house tour, not realizing that my daughter had seen more artistic nudes than most art critics by this point.
Mr. Barbie—Mr. Barberio, but again, due to fairy law, real names were something to be protected—had not been the most pleasant neighbor when we'd moved in late in the spring, but he'd warmed up to us after he discovered I was an artist. Digital, but I had my fondness for charcoal and paper, which had convinced him I wasn't a complete barbarian out to stomp on all things beautiful and true.
He was a spry old man, cagey about his age, with a shock of snow-white hair maintained with the precision of a mathematician's formula, slicked back as if to show off what a full head of it he had.
My husband, who's had a widow's peak since he was Morkie's age, had ruefully rubbed his thinning hair and said, "If you leave me for him, I'll know why."
"Mmn." With a flourish of my wrist to indicate a job well done, I slide the buttered toast onto Morkie's plate. "I can't say saw it happening. What did it look like?"
Morkie takes a bite of her toast and bluntly says, "Like blood."
Alright. Point to the smartass. I pull the closest sketchbook to me—I kept at least one in every room, not out of pragmatism but because I lose them and encounter them again like old friends—and start roughing out the shape of Mr. Barberio's house. "Where? And—hey, no butter fingers."
Morkie looks at her butter-slick hand as if it's betrayed her and pulls it back to hover an inch over the sketch. "Here, and here," she explains, pointing at the two upper windows that face the road.
I dutifully shade in those windows. "Like this?"
"Like crying, mommy." Morkie chomps on her toast, sounding exasperated that I'm not picking up what she's laying down. God, I'm going to miss her when she starts kindergarten in a month. Sassy little beast.
"That's a bit sad, isn't it?" I prod gently, pencil unmoving. The sketch remains as it is, the two windows dark. "Did it make you feel sad?"
Morkie nods. She's finished with the bread and is now dragging her sippy cup to her mouth. She can drink just fine out of a glass; she just likes to vary it up with a classic every once in a while.
"When did you see it?"
"When I was sleeping." Morkie sees no issue with this.
Ah. "Like in a dream?"
"Nope," she says, popping the "p" definitively.
I'm weighing whether to say anything at all because not everything needs an explanation when the sirens, muffled by the closed windows, register.
We live in a quiet neighborhood, deep in a maze of residential streets that simply end rather than looping back into the arteries of the city. So any emergency services hauling ass with all lights on aren't simply passing through; this is their destination.
We watch silently as the ambulance stops in front of Mr. Barberio's house.

7 & 10 for the ask meme ☺️
Thanks for the ask! :))
7: gosh this is embarrassing. I think that the first fic I ever planned to write was a self-insert about a beautiful Teleri from Valinor with whom Frodo Baggins fell in love after he sailed for the west (I had SUCH a crush on Elijah Wood. I honest to god sent him an handwritten letter asking him to marry me when I grew up. I was TWELWE); I suppose Frodo and I were going to defeat the darkness of Morgoth once and for all with the power of love and my mighty sword lol. Unfortunately I never got to write this masterpiece.
The first fic I actually wrote (I was fourteen, and still traumatized after seeing rots in theatre) was an Obidala post rots au - they moved to Tatooine, Padmé of course turned out to be Force Sensitive, Obi-Wan trained her and she fought masked in silver until the day Vader tracked them down, cue to masks cracking and angst ensuing and then I stopped writing because at fourteen I didn't know that threesomes were a thing and I had no idea how to finish that story without killing Anakin off, which I didn't want to do (always been weak for pretty boys with huge blue eyes)
10: usually I know the title as soon as I start writing because 70% of the time my plot bunnies jump out of a song, which promptly becomes the title, and for the remaining 30% the title is directly connected to the plot. The only notable exception is Neutron Star Collision, which originally had a title I didn't like, but then one day spotify played the song and I IMMEDIATELY logged onto AO3 to rename the story because it was just perfect

🌀 :))
thank you <3
from this ask game
so this is a fake blurb for a fic i've been daydreaming about but haven't written a single line from, lets see if it ever materializes lol
Can the one chosen by the Force reject his destiny? While on an urgent mission to the Mytaranor sector, Obi-Wan and Anakin are led on a wild chase by a new Sith warrior. While Obi-Wan suspects that the new Sith is not unknown to the Jedi and perhaps more cunning than they'd realized, Anakin gets the impression the Sith is looking to seduce him, specifically...
uh... yeah I can't stop thinking about Sith Qui-Gon, and this art by MidnightDelerium is often on my mind, so we have another QuiAni fic on my plot bunny list :D

☔ for the ask meme :)
Thank you so much! For this ask game~
Is there a fic concept you have that you’d like to just explain and share because you’re not sure you’ll ever write it? If so, what is it?
I'm going to try and write everything I've got planned, but currently I'm struggling to find the tone for a fic I want to write this cyberpunk meets eldritch horror oneshot. Basically, Obi-Wan is a private detective asked to investigate the death of Padme Amidala, a renowned artist who became reclusive over the last few months leading up to her death. Through his investigation, Obi-Wan discovers that she used a data chip infected with the murmurs of an ancient alien god who demanded her worship and adoration - for eternity.
Of course, the god is Anakin/Vader, an alien creature made up of flesh and technology who lay dormant on some planet before researches awakened him. He is in search of supplicants who will meld with him so that he may never be lonely as he travels the vastness of space.
I've got it mostly planned out, but I've not been in the right mood to write it just yet.
I also want to work on a fic where Vader turns himself in at the end of the Kenobi show. But that is going to involve a lot more planning, and grappling with the idea of 'can someone such as Vader be redeemed' and 'should he be allowed to be redeemed', and who gets a say in all of that?

Dofcora nation today I discovered a Google doc from a long time ago of WIPs i had about them that I somehow managed to COMPLETELY forget about, and I have no idea HOW these ideas completely slipped from my mind because they are as wild as:
(🔞 ahead)
- not quite nsfw but still very nsfw rosi scar appreciation behaviour from doffy
- a fuck or die trope. How the hell did I forget about this one. some enemy devil fruit users manage to orchestrate this situation thinking ha, they can't get out of this because they're brothers so they won't fuck and they'll die but surprise surprise....
- voyeurism on the numancia ???? some random crewmember has the misfortune of finding out that the brothers are not very Brotherly but, also, they are kind of into it because they read too much porn ig, and my absolute favourite:
- cora and doffy's STRING PUPPET. YES, HE USES THE STRING PUPPET. (this was gonna be a gift for @sugarpsalms psst if you remember 👀 but we both got busy, so!)
I genuinely have no idea how I forgot these wip ideas. Like, I didn't even remember them when I was doing the WIP tagging game! Insane. Insane. I don't know if these will ever come to fruition now, but...y'know, I'd still love for them to exist somehow so honestly if anybody finds this list inspiring do feel free to do with it what you wish XDD

WIP Tag Game
Thank you so much for the tag @fanaticsnail 💕🫶🏻❤️ I can’t wait for Rockier Port Incident and some pollen fics and so much Kid Pirates you’re writing, love it.
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!
(Me, opening my folder)
Haahaha, fuuuuuck
Okay, so let’s focus on the active WIPs that I am working on daily. All of them are Doflamingo x Reader in some form. I have only one fully Corazon x Reader but you can also ask regarding that one. P.S. NSFW usually it isn't thaaat smutty but just Doffy's inner thoughts are horny as hell in a lot of these and there are dark/adult themes throughout so... Yeah! If there is a bit of smut I'll put it as 🌶️, if the fic is smut-only 🌶️🌶️🌶️)
I’ll build castles for you, my love (look at me, not my brother) - Doflamingo x Rosinante's Wife! Reader (and some Past Rosinante) (multi-chap, NSFW, 🌶️)
Merlot & Primroses - North Blue Doflamingo x Rosinante's Wife!Reader, post Rosinante's death (multi-chap, NSFW, 🌶️)
close your eyes (it’ll all be over soon) - Doflamingo x Rosinante’s Wife!Reader (NSFW one-shot 🌶️🌶️🌶️ set in Merlot & Primroses where North Blue Doflamingo treats you differently when he meets you aka when you thought it can’t be more fucked up and dark, Doflamingo laughs in your face)
resemblance - Doflamingo x Rosinante’s Wife!Reader (NSFW one-shot, 🌶️🌶️🌶️)
marigolds - Marineford! Doflamingo (my love aka I squeal when I see him, I love him and his orange pants and his half buttoned shirt, and the fact he is fully wearing his coat and looks like a pink pom pom, "Doflamingo, I choose you!🦩" sir are you free on Saturday 😳😳😳) x Rosinante's Wife! Reader (SFW, oneshot)
As you can see, the Rosinante's Wife!Reader trope has a real hold on me. I got the idea in August and am still writing about it. Idk what it is about it. Prob cus the trope of Doffy longing after Cora's wife is so very Doffy of him? Now... For...
Celestial Dragon Doflamingo Fics 🤍
There are a few main ones. To know, Reader is not a Celestial Dragon in any of these stories.
Celestial Dragon Doffy x Rosinante’s Wife!Reader (NSFW multi-chap, 🌶️)
everything the world can offer - Returned to Mariejois Celestial Doflamingo x Civilian!Reader (NSFW, one-shot or multi-chap, tbd, 🌶️)
your saint - Returned to Mariejois Celestial Doflamingo x Doflamingo’s Wife! Reader (NSFW, one-shot, 🌶️🌶️🌶️)
butterflies and daffodils - Mariejois Raised Celestial Doflamingo x Civilian!Reader (NSFW, one-shot)
For these other ones, I’m mostly struggling with deciding how Reader reacts to Celestial Dragon! Doffy, depending on their history or lack of it, and it also depends whether this is Never Left Mariejois Doffy or Came Back and was Accepted Back Celestial Doffy. Those two are vastly different 🤣 I want to write a naive Reader but also Reader who is aware enough of how CRAZY Celestial Dragons are but then you get to that fear/dread factor once more and deciding how much of that to describe bcs what if they’re childhood friends, would that fear factor burst its head out regardless of their history? Would Reader just be appeasing Doffy while also still letting her guard down and just interacting with him like nothing’s changed?
(Sighs) I am overthinking myb a bit too much? Who knows...
Also, making this tag game for artists, too, same rules apply if the artists are comfortable with sharing their art wips as in the title of the art wip they’re working on!

I couldn't resist publishing this now that I have a few chapters under my belt. This story has literally been eating away at my life. Also, trying something new with shorter chapters. I think it makes a story like this more impactful and will honestly probably lead to more frequent updates.

My tattoo! IRL I only took the tape off yesterday so it's still a little sticky, but the artist took this like five minutes after it was done (I actually could have had this picture sooner, but he uploaded it to Instagram, and I had to admit I have nothing but Tumblr and hadn't seen it, and he was like 'yeah, that tracks' lol).
I love it. I was nervous but I'm so happy I did it.
Tagging @palfriendpatine66, @kittonafoxgirl, @piecesofeden11, @sugarpsalms, @underacalicosky, @riduurburton, @just-some-person-with-a-blog, & @howlbrooklyn specifically to say thank you for the encouragement, advice, and good vibes!

Ohhh a wip tag game! :D Thank you so much for the tag @physics-of-one-piece, @darklordofcutlets, @tavsianus ❤❤❤!
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!
Okay, let's gooooo Since Physics also extended the game to artists (thank you ❤!) let's start from the art stuff! And…. yeah, I have either something coherent or some nonsense titles here 😂 I'll focus on these more or less in progress or the ones I want to finish - almost all of them are about the Donquixote brothers though.
Art:
asasdadadad (believe it or not, this is the Time travel swapped AU comic xdd I’m working on color ver now and/or possible continuation)
comic (another Time travel swapped AU, also a comic, a different one tho)
Cora_ponyo_habu_2 (a rough sketch for Corazón x ‘Ponyo’ crossover)
doffy3 (a color version of King of Dressrosa drawing)
doodles (a drawing of Corazón)
kluska (drawings of Corazón)
otohime (a drawing of Queen Otohime, a present for a friend, a sketch for now)
Cora_enamel_pins (a small merch project, currently working on color ver, though I’ll probably switch from enamel pin to acrylic charm, it’s cheaper)
corazon_2_sdhjsdhad (Cora, Law and Doffy drawing, color ver in progress + some DQ brothers doodle. I like to work on many projects in one file, so I group them or just cover up/hide the works I’m not working on at the moment)
1 (a bunch of sketches/concepts for Doffytober2024 prompt ‘hatred’)
devil fruit_1 (a sketch for Doffytober2024 prompt ‘devil fruit’, working on color ver now)
Brothers - Deities2 (DQ Brothers as deities, one stylized drawing (lineart done, working on colors) + a sketch of another one. An old thing but I still want to finish this)
corazon3 (a stylized drawing/poster of Doffy xd I didn’t finish coloring the thing, maybe I’ll post it in black&white)
the world 3 (a DQ Brothers comic set on Minion Island TvT )
vash rosi_comic (would you look at that, another DQ Brothers comic! Cora's musings about Doflamingo's motives)
shirahoshi 1 (an almost finished drawing of Princess Shirahoshi)
As I also write a little, here are some wips I'm working on (all of them gen and DQ brothers-centered).
Writing:
Time travel swapped AU What the title says. Time travelling Law & Heart Pirates meet little Doffy & Cora. He adopts them takes them in in a heartbeat, though warming up to Doflamingo is a very very slow process. Snippets.
DR st A folder with a bunch of wips for the I've seen you fic. Doflamingo finds slave Rosinante in the Human Auctioning House on Sabaody. He takes care of him and basically decides to wage war on the whole slave market. Cora & Doffy & Donquixote Family, rated T for the topic it circles around, multi-chap + series.
DR - Ghibli - Sen to Chihiro Doffy & Cora x Spirited Away crossover. The brothers are tossed into the Spirit Realm and meet Yubaba sisters. Oneshot.
KSxDR - prologue Not a prologue anymore xd A wip document for the Through the End fic. Doffy & Cora x Blood Blockade Battlefront crossover, multi-chap.
A Battle of Will Corazón-centered, CoraFest wip, multi-chap. Corazón, for some reason, tries to quit smoking, this time for good. The Family has a lot of fun with this.
Pralnia Tsuru - spinoff (translation: Tsuru's Laundry Room - spinoff) Tsuru & Cora & Doffy fic, centered around and exploring Tsuru’s powers, how they can affect people and possibly change DQ brothers’ story. Two chapters, the first one focused on Tsuru and Corazón, the second one on Tsuru’s powers and Doflamingo.
That's all I think! Though still more than I thought xd That was fun! :D I’m fine with posting snippets for both art and writing, so feel free to ask if something caught your eye.
Tagging time! (no pressure tho ❤) @flamboyant-vampire, @mercyannmay, @sugarpsalms
I don't know who else to tag, but feel free to join if you want to!
#one piece#vewu art#donquixote rosinante#donquixote doflamingo#donquixote corazon#donquixote brothers#tag game#art#writing#that was fun! :D#now I just need to finish these#:)

Was tagged by a few people for this so... time to nerd out. :D
What’s up readers?! How about a little show and tell? Answer these 13 questions, tag 13 lucky readers and if you’re feeling extra bookish add a shelfie! Let’s Go!
Last book I read: Fever by Jordan L. Hawk (Wow, that was... a while ago. Hertie can tell you.)
A book I recommend: uhhh this is highly dependent on genre and who I'm recommending this to! but off the top of my head I GUESS--
The Princess Bride by William Goldman if you want a gentle, humorous, fantasy reading. (recommended for fans of 80s/90s fantasy films)
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller if you want to have a good time with absurdist comedy that then destroys you :] (recommended for fans of MASH that didn't hate the finale)
Summer of Night by Dan Simmons for Kids In A Horror Situation Doing Something About It (recommended for fans of It and Stranger Things.)
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for good ol' fashioned classic gothic/mystery. (recommended for... hmm. People who like to see things go to pieces in unexpected ways?)
A book that I couldn't put down: I generally read books in one sitting. So most of them?
A book I've read twice or more: I reread books consistently. If it's out somewhere I can reach for it, I'll just start reading it again. But uhhh the Chronicles of Narnia? Definitely reread those a lot.
A book on my TBR: Sabriel by Garth Nix.
A book I've put down: Not too many, but I definitely have. I forget them pretty quickly.
A book on my wish list: Once upon a time I would have said Strange Fate by L.J Smith. For the wee me that waited 20+ years for it, if it ever does come out, I'll absolutely read it. Just not excited for it anymore.
A favorite book from childhood: A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. One of the rare occasions I love the book and the movie equally.
A book you would give to a friend: INDECISION PARALYSIS AHOY. I dunno, honestly. All my friends are very different people. No one book fits all.
a book of poetry or lyrics that you own: none :( I should! But I don't.
a non-fiction book you own: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
What are you currently reading: Don't Look Now by Daphne du Maurier. I'm always surprised that she was such a modern writer.
What are you planning on reading next? Either The Broken Girls by Simone St. James or Burn for Me by Ilona Adrews. (Yes, friend, FINALLY) Maybe also a reread of Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, but in english, this time. First and last time I read it I was 8. Probably due for a revisit.
TAGGING: @heretolurkandnothingmore, @jamesbbarne @dark--whisperings @usakostar @thedunesea @sugarpsalms @skyerie @mollysunder @silvipeppers @darthwillies @eggchayi @laysidel-dekie @barmadumet and anyone else that feels like doing it. <3

Shocked by html anon here
I would love to see your fics recs! Honestly I don’t even care about the fandom, or ships. I found you through shaggy but you’re so good
oh no, i can’t just rec generally—even when i’m reccing books or tv shows to people, i need a sense of their interests before i start. i don’t want to rec stuff too far outside your wheelhouse.
but you, anon, i know like shuggy, so let’s go with that. (i assume you’ve already seen my previous recs on this theme.)
Bejeweled by ylc - complete, 80k
in this not-quite-canon divergence au, shanks visits the entertainment hub run by cross guild and finds himself captivated by the star of the show, a mysterious woman called blue diamond, who reminds him of someone he loved and lost a long time ago… there are powerful romance novel vibes here, and i’m a sucker for mistaken identity/disguise shenanigans as a trope, so there was no way i wasn’t going to enjoy this fic.
Love Lies Bleeding. by JustAnotherFool - complete, 12k
a five+one times (plus an epilogue) hanahaki fic. another one where i adore the trope so i was sure to enjoy it, but chronic/long term hanahaki is a particular favorite. of course buggy would pretend he wasn’t pining after shanks for decades! he’s stubborn that way!
We Swear by Rote For Want of More by sugarpsalms - series in progress, 12k, occasionally explicit
a series in which buggy and shanks are romantically involved while each captains his own ship in east blue, and mihawk is involved with both of them too. this author really knows ships and sailing and that comes across very clearly in their prose, i’m always impressed by those tiny details. the relationship is just this side of dysfunctional, as i think should be expected with pre-canon/post-roguetown shuggy—or with buggy in general, lmao—but most of the stories are quite sweet despite that.

1 & 3 for the ask meme ☺️
thank you for the ask~
from this ask game
1. do you know how you want the story to end when you start, or are you just stumbling through the figurative wilderness hoping to find a road?
very often i do have an idea of the shape of the story, but i'm not afraid to change things as i go. often the stories that stall out or stay as plot bunnies are the ones whose ending i am least sure of
3. on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?
um, like, 11... XD

23, 26, & 34 for the ask meme ☺️
Thank you, peach! 💖
For this ask game~
23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?
Answered!
26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?
No dialogue, for sure. But I think only dialogue would be a challenge that I'd like to try at least once. I was debating doing a kinktober fill of just obikin sexting...
34. What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?:
Oof. A lot of the physical pain. I've been through... stuff over the years, and have experienced a wide range of weird things, painful things, uncomfortable things, etc. So I draw a lot from my own experiences when writing about say, someone having a migraine, or someone fainting and having a seizure-type fit, or the pain of breaking bones, etc. And with that, the psychological stuff that goes with being in pain, or having a disability, or living in a constant state of discomfort. I dunno if it comes across well in my writing, but it definitely comes from a place of first-hand experience!
I've been fortunate enough to travel to a bunch of different places in the world, so when I write about the settings of places I also try and draw from what I remember when I say, visited and spent time in Egypt in the desert, or the forests around Crete, or the muggy air in Rome.
And, of course, Moonlight Serenade was influenced by my work and the artefacts I work with, and the stories I encounter 😊
