#4. to see Luke and Marina’s reunion

[probablygayattorneys]

I know a lot of people didn’t really like the Relics plot in the anime, but I did and I’m not ashamed about it. I think that all of it was done beautifully. In fact, even if they had called me up and said “Cody, what is important to you to see here?” I don’t think they could have done it more perfectly, at least not for me. I got every single thing I wanted, from big things like their reunion featuring a hug to little things, like a line explaining why Lord Adamas’s invitation was addressed to the Professor instead of Kat. Even things I dared not hope for, like an explanation of what Marina has been up to for the past decade or Alfendi.

I got every single thing I wanted and I couldn’t be happier.

Fic Questionnaire

I was tagged by @101flavoursofweird and @sixtyfourk

Thanks for tagging me!

I'll tag @bachint, just if you want to do it.

I'll leave it under the cut.

How many works do you have on AO3? 41

What’s your total AO3 word count? 85118

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Mostly for Professor Layton, but I've written a few oneshots in other fandoms (Final Fantasy 7, Lupin III, The Lion King, FFVI and FMA)

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I didn't know you could see the statistics, ha ha.

1- Gain and Lost. I'm surprised the first one is a Kiara/Vitani-ish oneshot from The Lion King II, though it's a bigger an older fandom.

2- Farewell and Reunion. A short 3 chapters fic with Desmond reconnecting with Layton after Raymond passes away.

3- Misthallery, my prison. My first fic, rated E and with archive warnings, so not for everybody. It has many grammar and spelling mistakes, but I'm still proud of it.

4- Hide your eyes. A Descole fic

5- Conversations – (One Shot series). I really like these ones.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try to answer, even if it’s just a 'thanks for your comment', it's really nice that someone took the time to write one.

On Wattpad I've left unanswered comments when they are references to memes, jokes or fandoms I don't know about. I just don't know what I'm supposed to answer.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Probably 'Into the blue' is angsty, because it's about Loosha's death. But I usually put the angst in the middle or the beginning.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not that I'm aware of.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I usually don't post it. I've been thinking if I'll post some lately.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Well, I post the Spanish version of my fics on Wattpad. If the question is by someone else, then no.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I'm not very sociable, hence not good with group projects.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

I'm not sure, I guess I have to mention Aerith/Tifa from Final Fantasy 7, since I usually read almost exclusively stories about them when I look at the fandom tag.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Right now I don't know, It changes with time.

Maybe I should mention "We Can Solve Mysteries Together", it was a Luke/Marina fanfic that started with how they met, then I planned to add a different case in every chapter. It was a WIP I wanted to finish, but in the end, it wasn't going anywhere, and I decided to delete it and abandon it.

What are your writing strengths?

Inner monologues and thoughts, I think.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Probably pacing, I’m not sure if the changes are sometimes too sudden, then to slow in another scene…

Descriptions, I'm not sure, tastes for this changes a lot from reader to reader.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I never needed to until now, but I'll guess I'll go with the "main character hear them talking but couldn't understand”

I guess it gives the reader an interesting task to find what it says.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

I think I wrote a silly Pokemon fic with my sister when I was around 10-12, when Messengers groups were just starting.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?

I can't never choose a favorite of anything, but I really like Sent Letters, Unsent Letters.
