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

ahhh hi thank you! (finally answering this!) 🖤

It Took the Night to Believe: chapterfic, complete, 100k. dragon age ii, anders/male hawke. pacific rim au. i am honestly really fucking proud of this fic, like i thought it was great even though it didn't do super well kudos-wise and i did notice that i definitely did lose readers as it went on. i truly have no idea why, this fic is fucking great. it's got angst, it's got comfort, it's got near death experiences, it's got fluff, it's got kaiju—what's not to love??

No Wound as Sharp as the Will of God: chapterfic, complete, 99k. dragon age ii, anders/female hawke. canonverse, post-da2. it took me seven years to post a second chapter of this and a total of eight years to finish it, and the whole time i was writing it after i picked it up again i was so unsure of it, but turns out i really like it. very heavy content, please do mind the tags. takes place while hawke is with the inquisition. anders positive, justice positive. a very intense, very deep, very affectionate friendship between anders and fenris is an extremely important part of the story. like, seriously, the platonic fenders is just as important as the romantic handers. a lot of angst, like so much angst, but the hurt/comfort is real. the b-plot pertains to my theory that justice cures anders of the taint. cole is there. the emotions are high and you can feel them strongly in the writing. again, be careful, but this is a good fic.

A Thing With Feathers Now, Elevate: one shot, 11k. dragon age: origins, alistair/female amell. canonverse, takes place over the course of da:o. this fic is a fucking masterpiece. another that didn't do well numbers-wise but this is easily one of the absolute best things i've ever written and is quite possibly one of the best fics on ao3. i am so fucking proud of this one. the prose, the metaphors, the handling of trauma, the found family—this one deserved way more love than it got. like, i'm serious, this fic is amazing.

It Means Tumult: chapterfic, wip, 349k (yes, you read that right). dragon age ii, anders/female hawke. modern au. okay, obviously i've got to mention this one. i have been working on this fic for eight years and i am very sorry to everyone who saw this go from updating multiple times a week and asking me how the fuck i write so fast to three years without a single update and then i think only one more in the past two years. i'm working on the penultimate chapter, i swear i am, i'm just super stuck right now. this fic is…this fic. i'm not going to lie, i don't really know if this is any longer some of my better writing, but the premise is fucking solid and i have been told more than once that it's clear this is a labor of love and that this is endearing. au where the obvious metaphors are made reality: the circles are psychiatric institutions and being mentally ill is a crime. a lot of angst, but a lot of love. pay no mind to how much better of a character and person aveline is when i write her. i also do admittedly use this fic to deal with my own demons frequently. an andrea gibson poem helped me write one chapter and i later got to tell them about it and they hugged me. this is also very heavily centered on music and has a lengthy soundtrack. please ignore the fact that when i first started writing this i used british english when i typed because i thought it looked better, as i had started doing as a teenager, which tbh i still kind of do but i also realized that's just fucking pretentious to do when you're american, and it was already so long by the time i stopped doing it that there was no way in hell i was going back to editing all of that (as i actually did do with nwasatwog). so that's just the way it is. but yeah, there's a lot of feelings happening here. also the only fic on this list that has an original title instead of song lyrics despite being the one with the most music involved, lol.

Through the Fall and the Feel: chapterfic, wip, 52k. dragon age ii, anders/male hawke. modern au. this is the one i'm working on most right because that's just where the brainworms are. hawke is a teddy bear doctor and anders goes to see him because instead of a pillow from his mother he has a stuffed cat, and she has seen much better days. this fic has a very wholesome premise but has gone into some pretty heavy angst already and i did not mean for eating disorders to be as important to the story as they have become, so be mindful of that. but this fic has a lot of heart and it's absolutely tanking, so if this piques your interest maybe go give it a look? this is also my second foray into m!handers and i am again having fun writing them. but yeah, i actually like this fic a lot and i do recommend it.

Time to play: is it the Apocalypse or Trash Day?

god someone PLEASE make a button that when you press everyone will just shut the fuck up

Peak German when your oh so cool and chill neighbour hides in the front garden and after you threw away the trash, stalks the bins about what exactly you threw away where. Nice to see no generation is better than the other and apparently even the chill people become annoying stuffy bastards

hi! i hope you don't mind me messaging you out of the blue like this, but i recently finished reading 'through the fall and the feel' and it inspired me to take better care of my own plushie, so thanks to you a plush seal who i sleep with every night has been washed, had his holes darned/rips mended, and been restuffed so he's properly huggable again. (i would send you a picture but my wife immediately stole him for a nap as soon as i was done.) anyway, i thought you might like to know that your fic inspired me and has been a huge comfort to me recently ❤️

HELLO! i will have you know this is not only one of the greatest messages that has ever graced my tumblr inbox but is also genuinely one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. 🥺🥹

i am so glad your seal is properly huggable and it is honestly absolutely wild to me that i did something that inspired that, but please give your seal friend a hug for me!

also i’m sorry i haven’t updated that fic in forever. it is very dear to me so i 100% will return to it, i’ve just been very deep in rookanis hell and that’s been taking over everything for the time being.

thank you so, so much for reaching out! this was so lovely to see and it really means a lot. 🖤

What if diggs's car got stolen in London while he was out stress shopping for clothes and fine dining (he changed his mind on the fine dining once he saw beans on toast), and he turns around exasperated, and even more stressed now, for a ride only to look around and see

Being a sdr2 fan when you dont ship kom4hina is like being in a killing game yourself. When dr got popular again if you confessed to this ppl would treat u like you killed their grandma or smthn no joke

I forgot about some soup I had in the fridge and apparently I'd left it in there for too long because it smelled terrible. How terrible, you may ask?

I made the same noise a cat pokémon makes when they have a hairball. It was that bad.

So consider this a reminder to check the food in your fridge more than once a week.

someone in my house is hammering something. it’s incredibly faint but still audible. at the same time people are doing something with the trash outside and it is. so loud.

i feel like i’m going insane over these noises…..
