Hello lovely readers!

Boy howdy do I have an update for you. I finally finished the second draft I Dreamt of You, which I had been working on for several months. It took me way longer than anticipated, but that's finally done.

I'm on a bit of a break from that, so I can start the next draft with fresh eyes. In the meantime, I have been on an outlining/brainstorming spree. These are the projects I've been working on:

Hey There Demons, It's Me, Ya Girl (Nace BuzzFeed Unsolved/Ghost Files AU)- brainstormed ways to make the new draft work, started working on a new outline.

Untitled MAAN Fic (Save the Date verse)- outlined first two chapters; brainstorming for last two

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me a Match (GOT Hogwarts AU verse)- OUTLINED!!!

Secret Fic- OUTLINED!

Novel-Worked on the map

Being so productive has been so good for me. I've got another week left before I can pull I Dreamt of You back out of storage, so hopefully my level of productivity stays the same and I can finish all of my outlines.

Here's another snippet of I Dreamt of You to tide you over until it comes out:

Relentless, the Princess pirouetted and struck at him wherever she could. His double only blocked and evaded, even as she drove him toward the cliff.

I'M SO CLOSE TO FINISHING THIS DRAFT I CAN TASTE IT

[longclawislightbringer]

[longclawislightbringer]

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Hello lovely readers, Welp… it’s March now. I’ve been working on I Dreamt of You every day, but not to the extent that I wanted to. Struggling with a couple of scenes has not been helpful, yet I’m almost finished with my first round of revisions. If only I wasn’t such a perfectionist. Anyway, have another snippet from the first scene:

The princess growled, her angelic face twisting into a dark grimace, and rushed him.

a time for wolves + jon and sansa rebuilding winterfell

She set to work. The snow fell and the castle rose. Two walls ankle-high, the inner taller than the outer. Towers and turrets, keeps and stairs, a round kitchen, a square armory, the stables along the inside of the west wall. It was only a castle when she began, but before very long Sansa knew it was Winterfell.”

ASOS SANSA VII

“The warmth took some of the ache from his muscles and made him think of Winterfell’s muddy pools, steaming and bubbling in the godswood. Winterfell, he thought. Theon left it burned and broken, but I could restore it. Surely his father would have wanted that, and Robb as well. They would never have wanted the castle left in ruins. “

ASOS JON VI

Hello lovely readers, Sorry for missing last week. January’s been busy. But the good news is I have been writing every day! Still no exact date on when this draft will be done—my original goal was the end of the month, but we’ll have to see if I end up having a lot of time this weekend. I think I'll finish this draft by the middle of February at the latest, and this is the draft that should take the longest aside from the first. So there's that to look forward to. But anyway, have another tidbit to tide you over:

Lightning burst across the sky again, followed by the crack of thunder.

this love came back to me

Downton Abbey AUs

Look for the Silver Lining 7k, WIP by @ohhaveyouseenme

“He’s coming to stay…” Lord Eddard Stark’s announcement was met with silence before it was broken by the incredulous scoff of one Sansa Stark. “Here?” she bit out, turning fully away from her father. “With all of us?” Sansa looked around imploringly at the rest of her family.

And Then There Was You 49k, WIP by @periwinkle39

Lord Ned Stark and his family live in a beautiful stately home called Winterfell in the northern English county over which he presides as earl. His wife, Lady Catelyn Stark, is an American heiress whose fortune helped secure the Stark estate and keeps it running. They have three children: Robb, Sansa and Arya. Robb, who was set to inherit everything, has died tragically. By law, Ned’s heir is the next oldest male Stark and that turns out to be a distant cousin named Jon.

Of Love and Land 2k (incomplete but works as a one shot)

A Downton Abbey inspired AU - When Eddard Stark, the owner of one of the largest estates in England, Winterfell, dies on the sunken Titanic along with his wife and sole son, Robb, only his daughters Sansa and Arya are left. Given the absence of a male heir, the estate is inherited by their estranged cousin Jon Snow, who lived the entirely of his life on his own mysterious father’s modest lands in Scotland. While Arya adores cousin Jon, Sansa is as disconcerted by him as he seems to be by her…

The Chauffeur and the Lady 1k (incomplete but works as a one shot)

AU set in 1921 Jon Snow is hired by the Stark family to be the Chauffeur and Jon and Sansa find themselves drawn to each other. Loosely inspired by Downton Abbey

General Edwardian AUs

Even a Small Love 54k

After the war that sundered her family and tore her homeland apart, Sansa had thought a loveless marriage to a near-stranger a small price to pay for her honor, her safety, and, above all, Winterfell. Over a year later, she begins to wonder if that's really all she wants out of life. Then her husband falls ill.

A Just Woman and an Honorable Man 12k, WIP by @sibyldisobedience

A story of politics, corruption, blackmail, marriage, and love. (an Ideal Husband AU)

The Sweet Intoxication of the Fall 30k by @vivilove-jonsa

When Jon is hired on as the new undergardener at Winterfell, Old Willem’s rules are simple:   “The godswood takes care of itself. The rest of the estate does not. If a task can be done by sundown, I expect it to be done by sundown. If not, go eat your supper and finish it the next day. Don’t neglect the lemon trees in the Glass Garden. They need constant care to thrive up here. Leave Lady Catelyn’s roses that grow there be. She prefers to tend them herself. Leave Lady Catelyn’s daughters be as well.”   Keeping to four out of five isn’t so bad, he reckons.

Cousin Jon ficlet by @amymel86

“Cousin Jon?” Lady Catelyn rolled her eyes in exasperation and set the letter gently down on her writing desk. “Yes, cousin Jon. Who else were you expecting to swoop in and save us from this scandal?” Corresponding gifset

This Fic Bac Friday, I'm recommending:

reprise by perennial || @vinca-majors Pairing: Hero X Don John Rating: Teen Status: Complete Summary: A year after evading marriage to Claudio, Hero must attempt to do so again - this time with Don John as her unexpected, unwilling, and only ally.

I've been reading a lot of Hero x Don John because of the holiday exchange, so I wanted to recommend a classic. What can I even say about this fic. It lives in my brain. The writing is superb and I love the imagery. If you hate Claudio and the idea of Her/Don John piques your interest, then this is the fic for you. You might even get a new ship out of it. ;)

[longclawislightbringer]

I don't recall if I've asked this already, but Cahir's sisters briefly appear in IDOY and I don't know what to call them? What does everyone else do about this? (do they have established names anywhere I am drawing a blank)

[longclawislightbringer]

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

[longclawislightbringer]

Lord Snow brought Ghost with him to The Eyrie. Alayne tried to avoid the wolf, but at night she would hear the scrape of claws on the door. One of those nights, she gave in and let him in. The next night, Jon came.

Braavos is For Lovers 3k

Tired of fighting, Jon and Sansa run away to Braavos to get warm. They take new names, find work as common folk, and struggle with a forbidden attraction to each other.

Jeyne and Bael 7k by @wendynerdwrites

Jon and Sansa escape to Essos after Jon finds her again in the Vale. They adopt to their fake married aliases so well, they forget they are not actually married.

Bittersweet Symphony 1k by @captainbee89

For the prompt I got: Could you write a Jonsa fic in which Jon and Sansa lose the war and they'll change their names and live somewhere (let's say at the seaside) in bittersweet happiness

Alive 2k

“Where will we go?” “Somewhere warm. Far from here.”

We Should Run Away 2k

“We were children,” he tells her when she asks for his forgiveness, a long since given thing. But they are not children any longer and he does not know what to do with this sister in a woman’s body. or Jon and Sansa run away to Lys, and they don't look back.

Setting Sail ficlet by @azulaahai

At twilight, on the brink of night, a ship sets sail from White Harbor. Based on a prompt by @thimbleful: "After the resurrection, they decide to be selfish and go somewhere warm after all."

Tomorrows ficlet by @misshoneywheeler

It’s raining today, a softer rain than the sort that fell in Winterfell or the Vale or even King’s Landing. Most things in Essos seem softer so far: the winds, the ground, the people. And Jon.

Voyage to a New Life ficlet by @alczysz17

The shift between them was gradual. It was so easy to forget who they truly were here. Easy to forget their old lives and even their past relation to each other. Easy for the lines to blur when playing husband and wife.

take me apart and I'll flow like water 2k

“We can leave here and not look back,” he says, as he steps nearer to her, unsure of how close to get to this sister of his, this sister who had only ever offered him cold, blue Tully eyes and a frost-lined frown that had mirrored her lady mother’s. “We can start over,” he adds softly, and he knows he has her then, can tell by the broken, tear-laced sigh she delivers, her breath visible even in the warmth of Jon’s solar. OR the one where Jon and Sansa escape to Braavos before the BotB.
