Due to an influx of abusive spam comments on April 21, 2024, we temporarily disabled all guest comments across the site. We have now re-enabled the ability to leave guest comments, but if you comment while not logged into an account, you may encounter a verification page that checks that you are not a bot. We are also working on other ways to help reduce spam, including a small change to the default comment settings on the work posting form that will be rolled out soon.

Dude it is SO FUN and EXCITING to see a reoccurring reader. If you've commented a handful of times on an author's work, I guarantee that they recognize you. You can't imagine how many times I've excitedly informed my friends "the person with the funny cat image commented!" "- anon is back!!!!" and the friends've recognized who I was talking about because I talk about my commenters so often LOL. We love you all!!!

this came to me in a vision

[ID: A screenshot of a Twitter (X) reply chain. Red Robin (@/spleenless) writes, "Where there's a screen.........." Under his caption is a picture of the Batcomputer, which has the Ao3 homepage pulled up. He is not logged onto his account, if he has one. Someone with the user "Gregg rulz ok" (@/nitwenjoyer0) replies, "Ao3 on the batcomputer is insane" with four crying emojis after. Both tweets were posted on April 27.]

"Benny Dow" being Bernard, ofc.

Thinking about philosophy of AO3 tagging. Specifically character tagging.

And how my preference is to tag only the characters that the fic is actually about.

But many people's preference is to tag all of the characters who make an appearance in the fic.

My fave is writing something in a fugue state, dropping it on ao3, and then just

A Quiet Kind of Birthday Girl

Written for @nestaarcheronweek 2024 Day 6: Birthday Girl

"'Now that you mention it, I don’t know either. When is Nesta’s birthday?”

She could practically feel the cringe that wanted to work its way across his face as he blinked rapidly, entirely aware he, too, did not know the answer.

It wasn’t his fault. She hadn’t told him because she hadn’t thought it mattered.

“You don’t know your own mate’s birthday?” Emerie followed up; a brow quirked in obvious judgement."

---

Or, Nesta has always kept her birthday quiet. When her family finds out about it, they of course shower her in the gifts she deserves. Only, when she's never before had a birthday that truly celebrates her, being the center of such affection is hard.

Luckily, Cassian knows how to celebrate his mate in quieter ways.
