To Have Stumbled Upon You

Chapter 5 is finally out! https://archiveofourown.org/works/64118665/chapters/172007722

[ceeridwen99]

A new update of "To have Stumbled Upon You" will be coming this Wednesday. I've been insanely busy this last month, but I've still been steadily working away on it! Thank you so your patience!❤️❤️❤️

A little alternate ending thing for the ao3 animations i never posted 💗

Can confirm as a fic writer that any little bit of interaction is like an oasis filled with ice cold water after walking a desert for days.

(I also really like the comment "Community and not content factory" because fan fiction does feel like your own little community that's not super fast paced like the rest of social media. In this too fast-moving world where we're expected to consume and forget, let's all remember to slow down and enjoy the love, time, and effort we put into our fandom spaces!)

You guys are commenting on the fics you read right? You’re at least leaving kudos on the Astarion smut and the pairs that have less than 20 fics for them too? You’re bookmarking stories you really like that are still being updated and ones that haven’t been touched in over a year right?

You know that even the smallest interactions are like cocaine to fic writers right? You understand how important a string of emoji hearts left behind on a chapter at three am is right?? Right????

You’re treating AO3 like a community and not a content factory….right?

fanfic titles be like “we have not touched the stars (nor are we forgiven)” and then you look at the tags & the first one is “anal fisting”

Astarion’s luck has been shit since the moment his Master Cazador Szaar turned him. Force to sell himself to anyone for his master's pleasure, for the last one hundred years, Astarion has meandered through the streets of Baldur’s Gate with no hope for the future. However, his luck changed one night when a mysterious entity approached and gave him the ability to escape his cruel master.

Now, on the run, and in a bid to stay free, Astarion found himself trusting the wrong persons which put him on the path to Qyunn, a mysterious drow, who holds an even more mysterious and substantial power.

Qyunn is locked away in a place he can not escape, a place Astarion falls into that is equally fascinating and terrifyingly deadly. Inexplicably drawn to Qyunn, Astarion finds himself pulled into a world even more dangerous than the one he came from, and he learns that there are worse things out there than cruel vampire masters.

As he falls deeper into this terrifying place between places, Astarion finds if he doesn’t find a way out, he won’t ever be able to leave it. But the closer he grows to Qyunn, he begins to wonder…does he want to?

Chapter/Part 3 Is up! <3

[ceeridwen99]

The Next part of "To Have Stumbled Upon You" is well on its way. This current part is currently in the 7k-ish range, and we still have a significant section to go before its completion, so that's one of the reasons it's taking so long! But I like this chapter a lot, so I hope the wait is worth it! Thank you for your patience!

[ceeridwen99]

we finish this together

[ceeridwen99]

It's giving, mixed signals.

[ceeridwen99]

This is amazing!

I blame @ellekhen 😉

[ceeridwen99]

I've been focused on many things these past couple of weeks—including, but not limited to, finishing up uni, working, and having a good ole time with Patch 8 for BG3—but I am slowly plugging away at my projects. We're over a thousand words into the next part of "To Have Stumbled Upon You"...

...And I may or may not have started working on another idea...but we'll cross the bridge when we come to it...lol.

[ceeridwen99]

Teetering between wondering if you have artblock again or if you're simply unmotivated to draw at the moment is the most maddening feeling ever....

Like I actually want to draw right now...but everything I draw looks like shit to me so I stop drawing...but I still want to draw....

Brain, please make up your mind....

[ceeridwen99]

Crop of a drawing I'll never finish, but I still like the faces.😅

[ceeridwen99]

Oi's animation gave me cuteness aggression so bad I had to do something about it
