you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, and im not sure if you’re taking requests but can you write abt reader and the power play Rafe having a huge fight??

this is def on my list!! i’m currently on a break from writing blurbs for tpp because my inspiration for it is low and all i want to do is write my next series 🥺 but i will be adding to the au in the future. reqs are open and i have a lot of blurbs lined up, including their first big fight 💘

[nadvs]

anon from before hello again! okay so your banter scenes are unmatched and there's so many I love but a recent one that made me laugh was in Power Play blurb when rafe says she wears the same dress and she says: “Did you not know you can rewear clothes? There’s this thing called a washing machine. Am I going too fast?” < I had to go check the exact quote, that whole part was soo funny!

aw aw thank you so much, babe 😭💘 that means a lot because i love including jokes throughout my writing!! and one thing about me is that my fav type of fmc is one who never turns off the teasing 🙂‍↕️

tysm!!

🛠 What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

pages and thesaurus dot com 🙂‍↕️

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

90% outline. as i write, i might change the order of things and add/remove scenes but i need an outline to keep me going!!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

if you don't mind :3

thank you for playing 🥰

one thing that i loveee incorporating is running jokes between characters. i feel like they serve as reminders of the foundation of their relationship!! and when they remember little things about each other because it shows how often the other is on their mind

i also find i’m always writing about eye contact in my emotional scenes. i think you can say so much with a few descriptors of where gazes fall and how long a stare lasts

for themes, i’m obsessed with appearance vs reality. i love it as a conflict driver

and most of all, comedic relief, my beloved!!

🤡 (excited for this answer because many of your banter scenes have made me giggle)

hehe yay thank you bb 🥰 i would love to hear your favorite!!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

i giggled to myself when i wrote the first conversation in ‘watch and learn’!! she asks rafe to be quieter and he asks her to turn around and she’s all confused and he’s like “i just want to see if i can see the stick up your ass from here” hehe it felt like a good introduction to their dynamic since all they do is tease each other

a close second is in ‘out of bounds’ when she asks zach how anyone could get mad at him and he says “i know right? i’m adorable” because i can so see him flirtatiously saying that

honorable mention, i had a lot of fun writing ‘the power play’ because she was such a jokey character. after she and rafe argue and she tells rafe to say “please” to be her friend again and he gives in and then she says “well you don’t have to beg” because honestly he deserves to get embarrassed a little hehe

🌞 for the emoji ask

thank you for playing!!

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

the morning!! i always feel like my inspiration is at its highest then

[nadvs]

🥺

tysm for playing <3

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

my favorite type of scene to write is what i call the “this is why” scene!! when one character opens up about their deepest wound and the other can finally see them all the way through and can sense their vulnerability as if it’s their own and also feels so lucky to be that trusted ugh that always gets me!! also the first “i love you” scene makes me emotional hehe

[nadvs]

Okay love these little games💝. I need to see 😅 and 😈!!

eee me too, they’re so fun 🥰 thank you for playing!!

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

i think the fluff in my first ever rafe fic (that i’ve since deleted) was so cringe. i still have such a hard time with fluff and i think it’s because that fic haunts me lmfkdj

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

99% of my cliffhangers happen because it feels like a natural place to end the chapter, but there’s that 1% where i’m like “ok but what if i stop at an insane plot point rn…”

I was randomly thinking about Out of Bounds and I love them, they are my favourite ship you've written 😊 The first time I read it, I was really endeared by how sweet and caring they were with each other. I just remember really connecting to it instantly and loving their dynamic.

this is such a lovely message to receive 🥹 thank you so much!! i loveee writing for zach. i feel like his character is loving and v goofy, so writing a love interest who teases and jokes around and shows she cares just as much as he does was so enjoyable for me. i had so much fun writing that series and it means so much to me that you loved the story and their dynamic 🥰

[nadvs]

Hi just wanted to say I hope you’re having a good day, I love your writing and you!!! ❤️

omg you just made my day good!! 🥹 thank you so much, i love and appreciate you and i hope you’re having an amazing day 🥰❤️

[nadvs]

just scrolled upon a “pov: you’re a private chef for an NBA player” and now i must binge read sleeping with the enemy 🙂‍↔️ life is worth livingggg

hehe yay i loved writing that series so much!! basketball player rafe is just so 🫠🥰 to me. enjoy the binge read!!

[nadvs]

any TPP blurbs today our queen 🙏 we will take scraps if you have them!!! (but also no pressure this is just me being desperate we love you take your time)

aw tysm love you 😭 i won’t be able to post anything today because the words are refusing to come to me but i hope my inspiration will be back soon 🥰

[nadvs]

I just read through the whole power play hockey!rafe story and omg I can't tttt. I love loveeeee how you wrote Rafe. I hate when the slow burn isn't slow burning but you did everything at the right pace! I'm going to go back to crying bc hockey!rafe is not mine!!!

aw thank you so much for reading and reviewing!! it’s so nice to hear you loved it and that the pace felt right 🥹 i really wanted to make the build-up slow because i think such an opposite duo would need to take their time to really like each other 🙂‍↕️ thank you sm babe 💘

[nadvs]

loved power play and i’m enjoying the blurbs sm though i’m just wondering if you have any new oneshots or series in the drafts that you’re planning on writing?🫶🏼

thank you so much!! i have a bunch of wip’s but one that will NOT leave my head is a series where rafe and reader are pressured to marry each other for status/financial gain. they start off despising each other because reader is a bratty princess type and rafe is all ego. it’s a slow thaw as they start to realize they have a lot in common, but the whole time, rafe is keeping a huge part of the deal from her 👀 yknow i love my drama!!

[nadvs]

not me locking in to finish the 700 page book im reading (mediocre) so I can binge power play (guaranteed bliss)

i’m giggling hehe ily!! i hope that 700 page read isn’t too painful and that you enjoy my new series 🙂‍↕️ i can’t wait to hear what you think 🥰

[nadvs]

the power play is one of the best fics I’ve ever read. Like seriously. I love the way you write dialogue and the dynamic between those two :)) for the blurbs, I was wondering if we could see more of how reader adjusts to their new relationship. though they’ve been doing the fake thing for a while now, do you think she gets hesitant about what to ask for in a relationship since this is her first one? like does she have a hard time telling rafe what she wants, whether that’s emotionally or physically? no pressure at all, but if you’d be interested in writing a little blurb that explores that dynamic, I’d be eternally grateful 🫶

thank you 🥹 writing their dialogue was my fav part!! omg you read my mind. this is why she needs sm reassurance once they start dating for real. it doesn’t go away on its own. and we know he has his own issues 😬 set in the power play au.

at the beginning of their relationship, they’re in a total honeymoon phase. arguments are rare and usually shallow and get resolved quickly, because they have a good understanding of one another.

but eventually, they start arguing more, and the fights get harder to resolve. she gets to a point where she’s so in love with him that it scares her, and she starts to think that she cares more about him than he does about her.

rafe gives her all the reassurance he can, but he starts to feel like he’s failing as a boyfriend if his girl is asking if he even likes her as often as she does.

and it’s a fear of his, not being enough. he starts getting defensive, leading her to spiral more. she worries she’s asking for too much, or maybe that she doesn’t even know how to ask for it in the right way.

on top of that, rafe has crazy bad insecurity. he gets horribly jealous at times. he knows how charming his girlfriend is and in his darkest times, he thinks she’s only with him because she could get along with anyone, and he was just there at the right time.

she doesn’t take his jealousy well. she tries to communicate to him that she needs him to trust her, but again, she doesn’t know what’s ‘normal’ and she second guesses herself a lot as they get more serious.

their differences are both good and bad, because they challenge each other, but they show love in opposite ways. he shows her he cares with actions, while she’s all about words, wanting to hear that she’s loved.

they have a lot to work though, but she eventually finds a balance of asking for reassurance from him, while also improving her own self-esteem so she doesn’t have to rely on him to make her feel worthy of love.

they both entered the relationship with very damaged hearts, and with time, they realize they can’t rely on the other to fix all the pain. they have work they have to do on themselves and sometimes, they need time apart to do that.
