I’m in love with your Ace universe. What do you think would happen if the team was in a high speed chase with an unsub and one of the SUVs crashes? I think the entire team is connected via coms. If you feel interested in this storyline, could you write it please? If you hate it or it disinterests you, please feel free to ignore.

New multi-chapter story is getting started!

me: i’m going to write a little every day :)

also me: writes nothing for three months then one day writes 11k words in one sitting because the hyperfocus demon took the wheel and now my spine is permanently shaped like a shrimp

Hello!

Go for it! I always keep a running list of requests.

Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.

I'm emotionally attached to Sergio atp so I need to ask if he dies at any point in the series (I may or may not cry at the answer)

also no rush to answer this :)

and have a great day! (or not if that feels too pushy(I clearly overthink a lot))

I will never write a pet’s death in a series, so let that give you peace.

Em dashes and the Oxford comma. These are hills I will die on.

Being told to stop using em dashes in my writing because ChatGPT uses them a lot and people might think it's written by AI...

Hi… very mortified to ask this but could you perchance point me to the way of the chapter or fic that Ace says that JJ’s cock is “always for her. Sometimes for Emily, but always for her”? I tried to find it but I think I’m going crazy.

I'm with you. I'm sure I have written those words, but I can't find them in a chapter.

Anyone know which story Anon is asking about?

EDIT: it has been found thanks to @carmtastic and @timefortimesstuff

Hi! Please don’t feel rushed to answer or anything but I think there’s been a few chapters with phone sex, do you by chance have the links for those or remember which stories some are a part of? I can’t remember if they were in “the different kinds of first” or which stories but I was pretty sure it happened on a couple different occasions if you would point me in that direction 💝Thanks in advance!!!!

Sure thing!

Home Alone has a piece about it.

Phone Sex in Different Kinds of Firsts Pt 3 is also one.

Away on Business is another one with phone sex.

hii! i really love your whole ace in the whole universe<3 do you have a list maybe of some of your more ansty chapters? ty in advance!!!

Thank you!

This is a great one to crowd-source because let me tell you, the requests I get for this series are 50/50 traumatic angst or porn. There is rarely anything else.

Off the bat, for multi-chapter angsty stories, Fireworks That Sound Like War, A Type You Don't Fit, A Bad Joke..., and When The Past Meets the Present are fairly angst-forward.

For standalone stories, here are a few.

A Trip Away with Emily

A Trinket

Failed Rigging and Repercussions

Do you know which fic has the one where Ace has to hide behind a metal table with two kids when a bomb goes off? I’ve been looking for it and can’t find it😭😭

Yep!

It's one of the one-shots in The Perks of Being the Unit Chief.

Here it is.

Could you point me in the direction of the fic where Emily is fighting with Ace and she’s like “Well you got your wish” when Ace is talking about being a burden or something like that? I know that’s kinda vague but I can’t remember word for word what was said lol

It's this part of Fireworks That Sound Like War.

Do you have any mental health advice for someone who is struggling but therapy isn’t an option at the moment? What are some of the biggest lessons you’ve learned in therapy/with mental health?

Hi -- I'm sorry you're struggling. Whatever the reasons, your struggles and the things you're feeling are valid.

When therapy isn't an option, I recommend looking for the people who are helping. Find positive resources here on Tumblr or Instagram. Your local library might also have programs that are available free of charge. Lean into crisis hotlines and online support groups. Look for therapists who offer sliding scale pay options or nearby universities that might offer similar services.

The biggest lesson I've learned is that healing is messy. It's not linear. It does not happen on a timeline or a schedule, and it certainly doesn't happen because someone else tells you it needs to.

My other favorite is that your thoughts aren't facts. They are opinions and can be treated as such.

Resource Recommendations

** special callout here. The internet is full of people who claim there is some reason they are an expert. Assess the resources you consume, especially on the internet. Check if folks are licensed. Know that mental health suggestions that work for some won't work for you and vice versa; that's okay. You're not broken. Keep trying.

Not a question, but I owe you a thank you. Your Ace in the Hole series, Ace's traumatised reactions/therapy sessions, and even Emily's reactions with Heather were a bit of a realisation for me. They were the thing that made me realise some things about my own life and gave me the clarity to stand up to someone. Ace opened my eyes and made me see the manipulation and gaslighting in my own life for exactly what it was. I read it for Emily, but it gave me something much greater. I thought it'd be nice to know your writing helped someone and how appreciated it is.

Thank you for sharing!

I'm glad the stories helped you recognize something and make a change for the better.

Hi! i was wondering if you remembered what book it was that Ace fingered JJ while wearing rings? or did i make that up 😭

Hey!

You did not make it up. :)

[nikoniclove]

Yes, ma’am. 😉

Good news you’ll be able to steal whatever you want from my closet when you visit soon.

Shortly after 9 am and I already fought with my cat about my girlfriend’s shirt… TWICE!

Sorry to disappoint you, demon from hell. Its owner is non negotiable

@nikoniclove I feel like I need more of them😇
