37 for the fic author asks!

37. Favorite genre?

I do like working in various fantasy settings but the whole modern slice of life genre has really been growing on me lately.

[jsmelodies]

25, 30 for fic asks

25. Is there a scene you are dreading writing? (Want to share what it is?)

Not a specific scene necessarily, but I've struggled to start the next princess chapter.

I think it's because the last chapter really shifted us into the second half of the story, and then lack of motivation hit me like a brick wall. And I know what needs to happen thematically in the next chapter, but none of the details of that. Anyways.

30. Is there something you would go back and change about a fic if you could?

I think I would narrate TKAHW slightly differently if I were to be writing it now. And yeah, I could go back and change some things if I wanted. But overall I love the little world that I created, and having the chance to see how my writing has evolved in real time.

You can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. I love Lucien but I acknowledge his flaws (none he’s perfect) and can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out on his actions (which are always right)

Nesta: Amren is a little bitch. 

Cassian: Why? 

Nesta: Number one, she's little. Number two, she's a bitch.

i think everyone should program at least once just so you realise just how fucking stupid computers are. because theyre so fucking stupid. a computer wants to be told what to do and exactly that and if you make one typo or forget one detail it starts crying uncontrollably

Reblog to give mutuals a break from whatever they're been going through

[jsmelodies]

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

[jsmelodies]

this 'being really tired after work' thing is really getting in the way of this 'pursuing my artistic hopes and dreams' thing has anyone else noticed this

smoke signals, chapter 9

christmas crisis comes to a head

read the latest chapter on ao3, or start from the beginning here

“Maybe we should—” Feyre cuts in, reaching for another present. But it’s her phone she retrieves instead with a little noise of surprise, her faux smile football-stadium bright as she answers. “Hey, Dad!”

Stunned terror lights up Nesta’s body. It’s like the first time she saw the girl come out of the TV in The Ring, remote horror thrust into reality. Her hands sweat and her legs start to shake, wanting to run.

“I’ll tell him,” Feyre is saying when the static in Nesta’s head finally clears. Somewhere Morrigan is still protesting but it doesn’t matter, none of it’s real. “Yes, I’ll tell him. No, I don’t know if the drinks package has an upper limit. Anyway, Merry Christmas! Here’s Nesta.”

The phone dangles from her sister’s thumb and pointer finger like a bathtub hair clog and Nesta doesn’t want to crunch down the space between herself and Niles’ voice. It’s too much, too dense for them to slam into each other at high speed like this. The time and the weight and the bullshit are supermassive and it’ll collapse the whole house if he even breathes his atoms down the line.

“Nesta,” Feyre repeats, impatient. “Take it.”

Nesta doesn’t move. Gravity sucks in the conversation around them and this is horrible and everyone is watching.

But her sister tries again, arm stretching. “Just say hi to Dad, okay? It’s not that bad. Thirty seconds.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Take the phone.” Frustration colors a circle high on Feyre’s cheeks when Nesta still doesn’t comply.

“No.”

you know what? fuck it *reads the fanfic I spent hours writing for my own enjoyment*

[jsmelodies]

Just got a new knight! I sure hope his unwavering loyalty, mindless devotion, and tendency to kneel before me to kiss the palm of my hand before he commits atrocities in my name doesn't awaken anything in me.

I fell in love with the fire long ago Chapter 6

Read on ao3

Snippet:

They ran on borrowed time. That truth settled in her bones as she and Cassian urged their horses deeper and deeper into the forest, the sound of hooves chasing behind them.

They already knew. Azriel, most likely, had put two and two together and realized what Cassian had done.

Well. You can rest assured that we won’t let anyone steal you away in the night.

How things changed in a matter of days.

Cassian led them north, into the forest’s heart. The leather from her saddle chafed against her thighs, and she had a constant fear that one of the tree branches would snag in the hair that she hadn’t thought to tie back.

She could barely see where she was going, trusting that her horse wouldn’t misstep as she trotted through the underbrush. This was as fast as they dared — they couldn’t risk a stumble or an injured leg.

A gust of wind blew through the trees, and the hair on her neck stood up. The mass of muscle beneath her tensed.

Before she knew what was happening, her horse reared, raising its front hooves into the air. Having been cooped up in the castle for most of her life, Nesta was not the strongest rider, so she wasn’t able to keep her seat.

Stones and branches cut into her skin with her fall to the ground. Even in the dark, her horse’s eyes were milky-white with fear. Nesta rolled out of the way before hooves slammed back into the ground, and the horse ran into the treeline.
