#I’ll start doing WIP tag games next week

[bakuliwrites]

WIP Wednesday

Back to writing pure spice. This time, for Gortash x Tav. Here's a little sneak peek of an upcoming fic I'm calling, Overflow. (18+, Minors DNI)

“What is it?” the Tiefling ventures, tail swishing in hesitant excitement. She beams, despite her confusion, simply happy to be receiving a gift. Having known one another for so many years now, Orlando is used to receiving odd trinkets or unidentifiable machinery from Enver. In their youth, he would pilfer scraps of metal and take apart clocks and other small machines in the House of Hope in order to create something entirely new. Although sometimes, he would simply rip something apart and put it back together again just to see how it worked.

He merely smirks at Orlando from where he lays in bed beside her.

“A prototype,” he answers, reaching into the bedside table and pulling out yet another silver rectangle. This one is slightly larger and narrower, sporting two buttons on its face. When Enver presses the top button, the object in Orlando’s hand starts to vibrate, causing her to gasp and nearly drop it onto the comforter beneath. Enver chuckles, pressing the bottom button and listening to the whir of the device as it increases in speed.

“A prototype for what?” Orlando nervously returns, quirking a dark brow up at her beloved.

“For something that, in the right application-” Enver begins, straining as he reaches awkwardly over the edge of the bed for something on the floor. He rummages through the pockets of his discarded robes for a moment, and when he returns, he has a new, lacy pair of underwear dangling on his index finger, “-you may very well enjoy.”

3k/5 year blog anniversary celebration!!

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe I've been on this same blog for 5 whole years now - that is absolutely crazy!! Not only that, but there are 3,000 of you lovely people who have liked at least one of my stories and decided to stick around! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!! 💛🥰

(and just in case anyone was wondering, this is the first story I posted on this blog - lol 🙈)

more on that below, though.

In honor of both of these milestones, I wanted to put together a little celebration I'll be hosting over the next week! Something to say thank you for everyone who has supported me with likes, reblogs, comments, and lovely asks! Here's what we've got! And don’t worry, I’ll still be working on my requests!

(oh and here is my updated list of who I write for!)

✍️ - send me a character and a prompt(s) from this list and I'll write a fluffy or angsty drabble!

🌶️ - send me a character and a prompt(s) from this list and I'll try to write a smut drabble! (first time I'm doing this - so please go easy on me! and, of course, only 18+ please)

🥳 - shout out your favorite author or fic - this can be your own or someone else's! let's celebrate our wonderful community of writers!

✨ - ask me to share a snippet of one of my WIPs. I'll either share a few sentences or my overall vision for the story.

♠️ - let's play some games! fmk, would you rather, truth or truth, etc!

I'll be running this from today, 7/25 until next week, 7/30 - so send in as many asks as you would like! Can't wait to see what there is!!

Okay, now for my sappy post below! ⬇️

Again, it's crazy to me that it's been 5 years! I mean when I started this blog, I was about to start college and now I'm graduated and trying to start my professional career! I've been on tumblr longer than 5 years lol, but this is the longest I've held onto one blog! I know I'm not the most consistent poster, so it really means a lot that so many of you have stuck with me during this time!

I post my silly little stories as a way to have fun and practice my writing skills. I never thought that this many people would be excited about what I post! And I'm not just saying this, but every time you like, reblog, and comment - I am ecstatic!! I love being able to provide a sense of joy to people with my writing!

Anyway, if you made it here - thank you! 💕✨

[3d-wifey]

What are those WIPs looking like? c'mon pleaseeee 😩😩😩😩give us a list. ur my favorite writer and I read everything I write, I wanna know what I have to look forward to (if you don't want to that's totally okay)

December Wip List

This took me a fucking minute 😭😭 please tell me if any of you wanna be tagged for any of the following.

In-progress series (original)

And They’d Find Us a Week (Hunger Games) - Finnick x implied black!Reader

↳ You run cold, you always have, it’s just another thing to love as far as Finnick is concerned. He himself emits heat like a furnace on the best of days. He remembers cold hands touching his heated skin, cold toes shocking the skin of his legs whenever you lay together. But now, now Finnick feels nothing but a hissing heat as your mouths press together. Heat like a hot knife cutting into a block of ice, like a blazing star consuming him in a ball of fire, only to sizzle into a warm embrace. He melts into you, trusting that you’ll sculpt him back together with your glacial grip.

Or

After everything you and Finnick have gone through together, it only makes sense that you’ve grown a little attached.

↳Status: Ongoing; posted

The Female of the species (The Boys) - Various/Homelander x black!supe!Reader

↳ “So what? I was grown in a lab like a, like a—fucking Chia Pet?” You can feel the air around you become charged, molecules flying by your ears at top speed. Ashley rushes to catch her papers that she stupidly left loose. “Calm yourself.” Edgar drones and his lack of reaction to you turning the room into a small cyclone only aggravates you further.

Or

Both a woman who’s used to getting whatever she wants and a man who’s never heard no, created in a lab. What a horrible pair you two will make. (basically ‘I can’t fix him. I can fuck him though, maybe that’ll help.’ Says woman that is worse.)

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

All On His Mouth Like Liquor (Succession) - black!Reader x Various [Shiv, Tom, Greg?, Kendall, Roman?, Menkin, Matsston, Stewy]

↳ "Mmm. You know, I've got a pretty cushy job in the White House lined up. I might be able to get you on my team." Jeryd places a hand on the counter next to your hip, leaning into your space, but you ignore him in favor of fixing your smeared lipstick. "I'm not looking to be anyone's Monica Lewinski."  “You think pretty highly of yourself." You pause and glance down at yourself. At the way your blouse is just on the right side of too tight. The way leaving the top two buttons undone gives anyone interested a glimpse of your necklace dipping between your cleavage. You turn to the side and look in the mirror at the way your skirt clings onto your ass and thighs, curves modestly on display. You look back at him with an eyebrow raised. "Point." He concedes, eyes still looking you over.

Or

As her assistant, it’s quite literally your job to be a Shiv defender.

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

Please Don’t Go (I’ll Eat You Whole) (Scream) - Yandere!Billy x Reader x Yandere!Stu

↳"Do you…find me…attractive?" He drawls, words drawn out like you're an exceptionally stupid child. And, honestly, you're starting to wonder if you're suffering from brain damage.  This is insane. Seriously, how many unhinged things can happen to one person in 48 hours? "I, uh, I mean,” you shrug, staring over his shoulder at your wall, "yeah. But, Billy, a lot of people do, which is what I was trying to say—" "There's a difference between people and you." He sits up, leaning towards you. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Billy, it's really not that big of a deal." You sigh, moving to get up—unwilling to let yourself be embarrassed. But he stops you, grabbing your hand, and you realize in a panic that he isn't going to let this go. "It is to me." He pulls you back on the bed closer than you were before, thighs brushing together. "What would have happened if I did?" You roll your eyes. Why are you humoring this? "Well, I might have had a girlfriend who didn't find me disgusting." “I don’t…I…” You shake your head in disbelief, breath catching in your chest before rushing out a weary sigh. “How the hell am I supposed to respond to that, Billy? Wh–what am I supposed to do with that?”

Or

When you love someone the way Billy and Stu love you, well, what’s a little manipulation between friends?

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

Once More to See You (Bridgerton) - Anthony Bridgerton x Reader

↳ Anthony is not one for flowery musings. He isn’t a poet, nor does he spend his time admiring the arts or waxing poetics about beauty and such. No, he leaves that sort of thing to his brother. But as you peer up at him with expectant eyes, the lights of the chandeliers painting you in a soft yellow, he can understand why a war was waged over Helen of Troy.

Or

You’ve finally come home from France and you’re a woman grown—far too old to entertain the silly musings you had as a girl. You’ve been presented to higher society and your search for a suitable husband has just begun, but Anthony isn’t willing to be so easily forgotten.

↳ Status: Ongoing; posted

You Set My Soul Alight (House of the Dragon) - Yandere!Daemon Targaryen x Reader

↳ He presents the wreath to you and you have no choice but to take it. There is a pause before hesitant cheers erupt around you, building in confidence until the entire stadium is roaring. Prince Daemon is the champion and has crowned you the Queen of Love and Beauty, dedicating his victory to you—just like he said he wouldn’t.  He smirks up at you, his plan unfolding before your eyes.  It is the beginning of the end. 

Or

Perhaps it would have been easier on everyone if you had just told Daemon you were being betrothed before your father publically announced it.

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

She’s My Collar (JJK) - Geto x Reader x Gojo

↳ Oh, you don’t hate them. Hate would require a level of acknowledgment that you don’t bestow upon the two boys. You’d have to notice them to hate them, you’d have to care and you’re indifferent at most. No, it’s much more simple than that. Gojo and Geto just aren’t on your radar.

Or

Being the first of your clan in centuries to join the world of Jujutsu sorcerers, specifically Tokyo Jujutsu Acadamy, is sure to make waves. And with a cursed technique like yours, it’s no wonder the Strongest have taken an interest in you. If only it was mutual.

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

Imagine Being Loved By Me (Star Wars) - Anakin x Reader x Obi-Wan 

↳"I can train her." All eyes look to Master Skywalker's hologram. He sits reclined in his chair—or what you presume is a chair—as if he's discussing the weather and not taking you on as an apprentice. "No." Windu turns him down immediately and you frown, just as against the idea as he is. You're sure many other Padawans would jump at the notion of being trained by Anakin Skywalker, but it's completely unnecessary. "In fact, you are the last person that should train her."

Or

As a Senior Padawan, nothing can keep you from doing your part in the war, not even the untimely death of your Master. Yoda asking Obi-Wan to take you under his tutelage is surprising. Almost as surprising as Anakin volunteering to do it himself. 

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

Limerence (The Sandman) - Morpheus x major arcana nightmare!Reader x Corinthian

↳ You watch as Adam and Eve run hand in hand, far from the Garden Of Eden. Steps hurried, frantic as if worried God would change his mind and bring them back—lock them away in that pretty cage again. But they are smiling. There's not an ounce of regret within either of them. You search and find that their only desire is to be free, together. Love is such a strange thing, you think from your spot between Dream and the Corinthian.

Or

If you and Corinthian are two stars orbiting each other, then Dream is the black hole that birthed you—drawing you both closer and closer while tearing you apart. One day, he will swallow you both whole, and you will say thank you.

↳ Status: Ongoing; not posted

In progress sequels

Show em Who I Belong to pt.2 - Dom!Johnny Cage

Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You, Baby pt.2 - Manipulative/toxic!Erwin Smith

One-shots

Damon, Klaus, Elijah x reincarnated!Reader (TVD/TO) - 1989 is the worst year of your life simply because it's the year you met Damon and, consequently, the year you were reborn for the last time.  (might be a series)

Nick x Reader x Jacob (The Quarry) - A game of truth or dare has led to the last night of Summer going to complete and total shit. Having been bitten by some kind of beast and feeling like you're going to literally burst out of your skin, the only upside is being stuck between two hot guys who are desperately in love with you. It could be worse. At least you weren’t the only one bitten. 

Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) x Reader - You and Remus are quite competitive, always going head-to-head in your classes. It’s commonplace to compete for the highest marks. What isn’t commonplace, is the sabotage in the form of Remus’s wandering hands.  

Sirius Black (Harry Potter) x Hufflepuff!Reader - Sirius can’t help but feel like he’s the only person in the entire school that you hate. Probably because he is.

James Potter (Harry Potter) x Hufflepuff Quidditch captain!Reader - James Potter has been your sworn nemesis since your first year and now that you’re both captains of your respective teams, that rivalry has only grown. Now, if only Potter would get the memo.

Poly!Marauders x Reader (Harry Potter) - Honestly, in retrospect, you don’t know how you thought this would end without incredible irritation on your part. You thought the four of you had outgrown such childishness, that being the only reason you even invited them to the fundraising event. Had you known it would end like this, you would have declined the offer to volunteer altogether. 

Johnny Cage x Reader (MK1) - Johnny is too needy for you to wait until the awards show is over. Besides, he’s been so good for you, hasn’t he? Doesn’t that deserve positive reinforcement? You wouldn’t want him to act out, would you?

Himbo!Steve Harrington x bimbo!Reader (Stranger Things) - Steve was smarter than you, but only slightly. Not smart enough that he would ever hold it over you, but smart enough to know that the two of you shouldn't have been doing this in such a public place.

College loser!Mike x mean popular!Reader (FNAF) - “I promise I’ll be good, just…” “Use my thigh.” “What if I just leave you here, wet and needy.” “Clean my fingers, this is your mess.”

Manipulative proffessor!Erwin Smith x TA!Reader (AOT) - Erwin has a soft spot for you, his new TA.

Arthur Morgan x Photographer!Reader (RDR2) - "Sure." He takes a cursory look around at the towering trees before focusing his gaze back on you. His wide-brim hat shades eyes so blue that you’re certain the sky itself is teeming with envy.

Johnny Silverhand x Musician!Reader (Cyberpunk 2077) - It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to collaborate with Johnny Silverhand. If only he knew how to keep his mouth in check.

Luke, Han, Leia x Zeltron!Reader (Star Wars) - You’re not a Jedi. You don't know the Jedi code and you’re probably as Force sensitive as a particularly dedicated brick. Despite that, you’re pretty sure the Force isn’t supposed to be used like this.

Sebastian X Demon!Reader x Claude (Black Butler) - Your mistress is interested in doing business with Ciel Phantomhive. Who would have thought he had a demon on his payroll?  (might be a series)

NSFW Alphabets

Star (The Lost Boys) - Adding on to that poly Lost Boys Alphabet

Anakin

Obi-Wan

Negan

Damon Salvatore

Headcanons/drabbles

Earthrealm MK1 boys compete for Goddess!Reader’s attention

Paul (lost boys) eating you out while you’re both high

Dark/yandere Luke Skywalker NSFW headcanons

Yandere Targaryen men (Aegon i, Maegor, Aegon ii, Aemond, Daemon) x Reader - Being the pregnant wife of a close friend

Yandere Targaryen men x Reader - Finding out you’re being married off

More flirty intros (MK1 and MK11)

Dead By Daylight Killers x Obsession!Reader

Eren Jaeger with a breeding kink

Yandere/dark president Loki x Ironman variant!Reader

Possible ideas (I’ll take prompts on these/discuss these)

➔Astarion (BG3) x Reader : 

Smut for sure

Eat Your Young -  Astarion did try to stick to the plan, truly, he did. Some seduction here, a few implications there. It should have been enough to get him into your bedroll alongside your heart. It would have worked on quite literally anyone else, but you’re just so Gods damned oblivious! (might become a series)

➔John Snow (GOT) x Reader

➔Michael Myers x nurse!Reader (Halloween)

➔Veronica x Reader x JD (Heathers)

➔Sajanus Plinth x Capitol!Reader (Hunger Games) 

➔Poly!Lost Boys x Reader (The Lost Boys) - How you start dating

➔Bigby Wolf x fable!Reader (The Wolf Among Us)

➔Jerry Dandridge x black vampire!Reader (Fright Night) - You and Jerry have more in common than any of your other neighbors could possibly imagine. (might become a series)

➔Mischa x Reader (Ride the Cyclone) - You like to think you and Mischa are pretty close, you’d go as far as to call him your best friend. So why is it that you haven’t so much as seen a picture of this ‘Talia’?

➔Dennis Reynolds x Reader (IASIP) - Dennis is used to doing the chasing, so much so that he doesn’t even realize when he’s on the receiving end of his own system.

➔Will Graham x killer!Reader x Hannibal (Hannibal)

➔Rick Grimes x Reader (TWD)

➔Derek Hale x Reader (Teen Wolf)

➔Isaac Lahey x Reader (Teen Wolf)

➔Demon!Dean Winchester x Reader (Supernatural)

➔Castiel x angel!Reader (Supernatural)

➔Abed Nadir x Reader (Community)

➔Carlisle Cullen x Reader (Twilight)

➔Spike x Vampire!Reader (Buffy)

➔Kakashi x ex ambu!Reader x Tenzo (Naruto)

➔Sangwoo? X Horrible!Reader (Killing Stalking)

an ask game for writers to procrastinate working on your WIP(s)

thanks for tagging me @wellbelesbian!

1. 🦈Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s): Basil Pitch's Diary. It's literally my only WIP.

2. 🍄Describe your WIP/one of your WIP(s) in the format of “___ + ___ =___” Bridget Jones's Diary + Carry On = We Love Baz, Just As He Is

3. 🌍What tags or warnings will one of your WIP(s) need if you intend to share it? Internalized homophobia, gaslighting, self-hatred. 😬

4. 🧭An alternative title to one of your WIP(s)? I never considered an alternative title to BPD, but the one that comes to mind now would be a huge spoiler. The alternative title to the next chapter is "I Fortunately Know a Little Magic," which is sassy and snappy (R.I.P. Howard Ashman) but less thematically relevant than the title I chose.

5. ⚠️Which WIP your most likely to finish or update next? Basil Pitch's Diary. Literally every other fic I've ever posted has been while "taking a break" from BPD, which could go on indefinitely if I let it, so I am bound and determined to finish this fucker before starting something else.

6. 💾What is your document of your WIP/ a WIP called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as) I have a list for BPD called "Chapter Checklist." It contains subtle insights "Baz is an UNRELIABLE narrator."

7. 🖍Post Any sentence(s) from your WIP. Here's Baz and Dev in ch. 7:

“Will you stay for dinner?” 

“Can’t. Dev and I…”

As Niall told me about their plans I grabbed one of the football’s nylon loops and let Rusty tug on it as we walked. It seemed too late for Niall to have a date all the way in London, but what do I know about dates.

“Come with us,” said Niall. 

I grimaced. “No thanks. I’ll catch up with Dev when he’s not on molly and climbing down your throat.”

“You don’t ‘catch up’ at Beast Night. You dance.”

“With whom?”

“Men.”

8. ♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP. I just looked in the trash folder of the BPD Scrivener project and found this note I don't remember writing:

Renée Zellweger would play Baz. People would be skeptical but she’d fucking nail it. Gaining weight for a role? How about growing eight inches, sprouting a happy trail, and joining the legions of undead. (Might as well cast Oscar bait.)

9. 🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet? A Watford-era get-together magickal mishap involving animal transformation and beloved children's literature. So, you know. The usual.

10. 🤡How many WIPS are you actively working on? Just the one. @facewithoutheart and I have a secret side project going that involves back-and-forth writing and it's stalled out on me. It's very fun and silly and I plan to return to it when I need a break from some of the angstier parts of BPD.

11. 🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now? I'm not working on any one BPD scene right now, but trying to map out the rest of the fic in greater detail so that I can roll from one chapter to the next. I was struggling for a couple of weeks with how to make an unavoidable canon plot point emotionally relevant to Baz's arc, but I think I figured it out last night. Phew.

12. ❤️Not a question, just a second Kudos to send. Kudos and tags to @cutestkilla, @thewholelemon, @whatevertheweather, @brilla-brilla-estrellita, @monbons, @onepintobean, @ileadacharmedlife, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @skeedelvee, @im-gettingby, @imagineacoolusername, @iamamythologicalcreature, @youre-an-apocryphal-concept-223, @rimeswithpurple, @goblindad-emoshit, @facewithoutheart, @artsyunderstudy, @alleycat0306, @erzbethluna, @ebbpettier, @emeryhall, @f-ing-ruthless-baz, @hushed-chorus, @hertragedyconnoisseur, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @ic3-que3n.

an ask game for writers to procrastinate working on your WIP(s)

thanks for tagging me @theearlgreymage!

1. 🦈Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s):

comfortable coats, calico cats, and collapsible canes. i just liked the alliteration.

2. 🍄Describe your WIP/one of your WIP(s) in the format of “___ + ___ =___”

artist + nude model = flustered

3. 🌍What tags or warnings will one of your WIP(s) need if you intend to share it?

oof, there's one that might need a major character death warning. but haven't fully made up my mind yet.

4. 🧭An alternative title to one of your WIP(s)?

the very last thing i do is title a fic, so none of them have alternative titles.

5. ⚠️Which WIP your most likely to finish or update next?

my first sapphic week fic, for the prompts moonlight and reflect.

6. 💾What is your document of your WIP/ a WIP called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as)

my trojan war novel ones are all titled Part One Astyanax, Part Two Briseis, Part Three Hermione, and so on.

7. 🖍Post Any sentence(s) from your WIP.

“Where’s your hat?”

“Crowley, I think I left it at the cafe!” I realise with a start, and we both dissolve into giggles.

“I’ll buy you a new one.” Simon offers.

“It cost £60.”

“It did not!” He looks at me incredulously.

“It’s designer!”

“I will buy you a cheaper replacement.”

8. ♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP.

i scrapped the idea of Natasha and Malcolm having marital problems in blow on the tinder, it ended up feeling unnecessary and just slowing down the plot.

9. 🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

a few years ago i toyed with the idea of a Carry On Once Upon A Time In Space AU, and i've started thinking over it again, but haven't made a start.

10. 🤡How many WIPS are you actively working on?

at least 10, which is a lot more than i usually have at one time.

11. 🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

i'm struggling to get Margaret and Blue's voices right, i need to reread their chapters in WS.

12. ❤️Not a question, just a second Kudos to send.

thank you!

WIP Wednesday, or Thursday!

It's a great week when there's a WIP tag game going around, thank you @redroomroaving and @lemonsrosesandlavender for inviting me, your snippets have me so hype!!

I shall pass some no pressure tags to @orangekittyenergy @lostinforestbound @dutifullylazybread.

I think folks may be more interested in the Rugan x Aradin stuff, but I shall never stop throwing my love for Rolan, Cal, and Lia at you. So why not both!

Under the cut a bit from The Elturian Prodigy WIP, then a bit from the 4th Rugan x Aradin installment, as requested by @fangbanger3000.

Rolan, Cal, & Lia, snippet from a WIP of an upcoming chapter of The Elturian Prodigy:

“You cannot still be on about that,” Lia bristled.

“Who knows how long it might’ve sated us, but I suppose we never will.”

“Please, Rolan,” Cal clutched his abdomen, “let it go.”

“Turning away from someone in need is wrong. Shouldn’t need to be reminded of that.”

“Fat lot of good it did them.”

“Both of you – it was…” Cal wanted to emphasis how long ago that encounter had occurred, how foolish their quarreling over such a distant event was, but he had no idea. No conception of how long it had been. They’d etched sleeps into the wall until it became apparent it was both inadequate as far as timekeeping went, a waste of energy and hope, “…a while ago. It doesn’t matter anymore. Nothing does.”

“Refuse to agree,” Lia said, “sieges are designed to break you, cut you off from resources, each other. We still matter. Other people still matter. Won’t make it out of this if we forget that.”

“For pity’s sake,” Rolan rolled his eyes, “this isn’t a siege, Lia. This is an invasion, and we have been conquered. The city has fallen.”

“Not what I’ve heard,” Cal spoke up, a daring combativeness in his voice, “west side is doing alright. Better than us anyway.”

“Wasn’t that always the case?” Rolan muttered.

“Not much is making it over Torm’s bridges, but people are still trying.”

“See?” Lia sounded victorious, “that’s cooperation, Rolan. People still care.”

“And how exactly does this benefit us?”

“For Gods’ sakes,” Lia snapped, “yes, everything’s shit. I’m starving. You’re starving. We’re all starving. Well done, being an insufferable wank helps so much.”

Rugan x Aradin, snippet from the 4th installment WIP, as requested by @fangbanger3000:

Rugan glanced over long enough for the adventurer to catch his suggestive attention, “how’s about after this round we find somewhere less conspicuous.”

Aradin’s face puckered in amusement, “thought it was the last time, made that clear enough.”

“Didn’t realize you’d start doing as you were told.”

“So full of shite, you are,” Aradin shook his head, but his voice was decorated with the hint of a chuckle.

There was a long pause in which the proposition sat unanswered.

“Might have to pass,” the adventurer finally said, as if it were being forced out of him and he watched the words form with regret, “what with you being such a bad influence. No offense, like.”

“None taken,” Rugan shrugged, surprised, but there was no lie in that, “I’ll have my pick ‘fore the night’s over.”

The Zhent gave an obvious look over his shoulder, moving his eyes across the other patrons. The younger man next to him followed the Zhent’s unsubtle stalk across the room as he eyed up the waists and hips as if his hands were already on them. The Zhent lingered his heavy gaze on the younger man’s mouth, then flickered it down between his thighs. He let his tongue slowly touch his lips.

“Shame you’re not up for it.”

There was a tension in the adventurer’s jaw as he ground his teeth.

Too fucking easy.

Fav lines game 💫

rules: share your favorite lines or paragraph you've written from one of your fics, posted or wip

tagged by: @hippolotamus @dangerpronebuddie @tizniz @aroeddiediaz @diazsdimples thank you all MWAH

Doing this made me realize that so far I really have only written porn, which I feel only a little ashamed about but! I will not stop.

This is from the fandom obligatory Eddie Adopts A Cat fic, which is untitled at the moment

The vet sighs. “Well, she’s pretty young, only about three weeks old, I’d guess. She has two ear infections, one eye infection, she’s malnourished, and she has some severe smoke inhalation. Honestly I’m amazed she even survived you bringing her here.” The vet pauses, and Eddie knows there’s something she’s not telling him. “Okay… is there anything else?” Another sigh from the vet, but deeper, and maybe a little sadder this time. “With kittens that get brought in to us in this condition, unless someone is willing to adopt them immediately and take over care, we would put them down.” Eddie can feel his heart sink, and he looks down at the little thing, just starting to squirm around on the table. “There’s nothing you can do?” “We don’t have the resources to bring her back to full health, especially with all the other animals that we’re currently treating.” His throat constricts, and even though he weighs his options in his head, Eddie already knows that he’s made a decision about what he’s going to say next. “I’ll take her.” “What?” “I’ll adopt her. I’d like to adopt her… I pulled her out of that fire and… I don’t want her to have to die now.”

The rest of the lines are some degree of NSFW, so they are all below the cut!

From the first and only fic I have ever posted (so far!!) titled Love's No Pressure

“If I have to deal with one more shift of you two having to fight the urge to start humping each other, I’m going to kill both of you.”

From my chair fic, which was the first fic I ever started writing so it's a little rusty (and I really like this little paragraph but I've switched povs in this fic accidentally a few times so I'll probably end up scrapping it :'( )

Nothing makes him feel more owned than when Buck fucks him with the vibrator or one of their dildos. Being nothing more than entertainment for Buck, a toy he can play with and draw noises and flinches and reactions out of. It’s always heightened when he’s gagged too, when Buck takes away that basic ability to communicate. When all he can do is lay there and watch Buck bring out objects to fill him with. It makes him feel powerless; owned and played with, loved and used. Buck’s favorite toy. It makes him want to be so good too; obedient and pretty and anything else to keep bringing his man back to him, to keep seeing that proud smile every time Eddie moans and whines and pleads just right for him.

This is from my blowjob/cockslut Eddie fic which is also untitled

Buck still has his hand cupping the bottom of Eddie’s jaw, and he keeps it there as he reaches down with his other, bringing the beer bottle to rest against Eddie’s bottom lip.  “What do you say?” “Please,” Eddie whispers again.  Buck tips his jaw up a little farther, tilts the beer bottle to gently pour the liquid into Eddie’s mouth. He watches the liquor slide across Eddie’s tongue, watches him work his throat to swallow it down. Buck tilts the bottle back up, cuts off the flow of it into Eddie’s open mouth. Eddie follows it, wrapping his lips around the brim of the bottle, hollows his cheeks and sucks the last few drops off of it.  Buck pulls the bottle back just far enough to break the suction Eddie has on the bottle. He slides the tip of it against Eddie’s lip, smearing his spit against his fat, plush lips.  “Better?” Eddie runs his tongue flat against the neck of the bottle, catching a stray drop. “Mmm, almost.”

This last one is from my super super stupidly self-indulgent and probably ooc Ana/Eddie fic that's just them having a fwb Femdom relationship years after they broke up (I'm also refusing to refer to him as 'Edmundo' in this fic)

It’s been awhile since she’s had Eddie in her shower, although this is the only time he’s in there fully clothed and dry. From the doorway she watches him remove the handle and the escutcheon from the wall. The retaining clip is next, and then he’s pulling the cartridge out.  Veins and tendons twist and bulge along the inside of his wrists and on the backs of his hands and Ana feels herself blush, remembering how it felt to feel those fingers curling inside her, those large hands wrapped around her waist or breasts, tongue tracing patterns on her cli– “Can you pass me the rings, please?” Eddie asks, breaking her out of her trance. She has to blink and clear her throat before she can remember what he’s talking about.  Two silicone rings pass between their hands, and she tries her best not to watch the way he slides his fingers through each of them as he works them onto the cartridge.

WIP WEDNESDAY WRITING CHALLENGE

It’s WIP Wednesday: time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants. The goal is to encourage each other to break down barriers that keep us from creating.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so all players can find you in the notes), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; NOT titles, document names.

Post a snippet from one of them. The snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any in the last 7  days, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. (Make sure your asks are open!) You must then write 3 sentences in that file  and respond to the ask with the three sentences you wrote.

FINALLY, please send asks to 3 or more people who have reblogged this post! The game only works if everyone is encouraging everyone -  let’s strengthen our community!

That’s it! I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Writing Challenge snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

If you'd like to be tagged next week, let me know!

I'll start, under the cut:

MY WIPS: - rainy ghost - 7hrs 45mins - threesome fic - universe and us in the night - brutus in a birdcage

--------------------------------------------

To answer your question, he continues, I have dark hair, light eyes, sporting a healthy, olive tan; devastatingly handsome, I’m afraid. 

Noah balks. “...Dude, why do you sound like a personals ad?”

His laugh is a tinny rumble, like the crushing of a can. Y’all still have those? My. Well, I suppose we’re quite similar, you and I: you, a destitute lush out on the street and me, well… I am the way I am; two strange queens, the pair of us make. 

Noah can’t help the flush he knows rises to his cheeks. “Are you coming onto - Wait. What exactly are you?” 

Well, I’m a ghost, darling, Nicholas’s disembodied voice responds, like it’s some glaringly obvious conclusion. I’m dead.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you so much @z-lagorio for the tag :D I'm still half-busy renovating stuffs at my new place (although this past week I've been mostly just enjoying the results of the work I put in so far xD but gaming corner is up next and I hope I can share some wips of that :3)

ANYWHO

I have been able to continue with my post-sun-ending fic a bit these last few days, I hope I can share the final version of Chapter 11 soon!

Here's a little teaser from Kerry's pov:

He arrived in front of the MSM recording studio in Charter Hill much faster than anticipated… so much so that his impromptu plan to get Lee to talk was still somewhat fuzzy around the edges. He was in the mood to storm in, guns blazing, but there was no guarantee Lee was even there. Maybe he should’ve checked that before coming here. Kerry cursed between his teeth, slightly clammy hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as he parked straight across from the building’s main entrance. Reluctantly he decided to simply call his manager, something he usually never did. It rang a handful of times, longer than he would’ve expected. “Kerry?” asked the shaky voice on the other end of the line in disbelief. “Certainly not Lizzy Wizzy,” Kerry replied deadpan, “Where are ya?” His heart was beating in his throat. “I’m at the studio! I’ve been waiting to hear from you, been worried that –…” “I’m outside the front door,” Kerry interrupted him, “Come down, let’s talk.” He tried not to let his nerves show, and he was thankful for his AudioVox evening out the slight tremor in his words. “Uh… why don’t you come upstairs to my office?” Lee evaded, “Vicki just dropped by with two new demos you can listen to, I think – …” “No,” Kerry said sternly, but he was grasping at straws for a reason as to why they had to meet outside that wouldn’t leave Lee even more suspicious. “Bring the demos with ya, we’ll listen to ‘em on the road,” was the best thing he could bullshit this quickly, “Been too stagnant lately, gotta move around a bit, get the creative juices flowing.” Empty phrases he’d flung around a million times before, but they usually worked with types like Lee. “Oh… okay?” Lee said, then there was silence for a couple of seconds, “Okay, I’ll be right there but… I need to be back at the studio at the latest in an hour, got an important appointment.” Kerry didn’t reply and simply hung up. No promises.

Lee appeared at the building’s main entrance around ten endless minutes later. Kerry’s right leg bounced in a shaky rhythm, the gun in his jacket’s pocket, heavy as a brick, bruising his thigh. Lee jogged across the street, black and blue designer coat fluttering around him. He tried to put on a smile when he approached the passenger side of the car, but it was slanted and forced. Kerry opened the door for him. “Get in,” he ordered, demanded almost, and Lee slightly flinched, fumbling in his pockets and pulling out a handful of shard cases. “Got everything with me, I thought maybe we could start with the song demos? But just in case I also brought the interview questions I mentioned, and some other things you can decide on for the upcoming promo events.” “Wow, great. Now get in,” Kerry repeated himself with zero enthusiasm and finally Lee slipped into the seat. The same seat V had fucked Kerry in so gloriously yesterday… and now Lee desecrated the space with his presence. Kerry closed the door again and sped off before Lee could say another word, headed towards the highway that would lead them out of the city.

(Things happened and are about to happen 👀 been really excited for this chapter but even more so the stuff it will lead to!)

I'm tagging everyone who has something they're working on to share - this is your call to do it and tag me :D Also tagging @pinkyjulien, @chevvy-yates, @humberg, @imaginarycyberpunk2023, @swearingcactus @civilization-illstayrighthere @peaches-n-screem cause I'd love to see/read what you're working on (if you work on anything you wanna share, without pressure ofc!), be it art, writing, vp, mods, anything! :D

WIP WEEKEND

Thank you to @welcometololaland for creating such a fun game! And to @orchidscript @strandnreyes @inexplicablymine @alrightbuckaroo and @cricketnationrise for tagging me! I was busy all weekend, but I’m playing along now!

1. WIP List:

RWRB:

Cruise AU —Alex and Henry go on a cruise together. Fake dating ensues.

Bodyguard AU —Alex is Henry’s bodyguard.

Potential third installment of Boy, I Fancy You

Lone Star:

Finish Teachers (I’m getting closer!)

Delayed wedding AU —The wedding doesn’t happen directly after Gabriel dies. It takes a while longer.

PR Relationship AU—Carlos and TK are in the spotlight and enter a PR relationship, but what happens when they catch feelings?

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

Teachers, by a long shot, is the longest. Currently sitting at over 100k.

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

Teachers or Bodyguard AU. Probably Teachers, but I have a lot of plans for Bodyguard.

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

I only have 3 wips I have actual words written for. Teachers is very fun! Bodyguard has been trying to steal my attention for quite a while! It’s so fun to write Jonah, as well as the dynamic of TK, Carlos, and Jonah as a little family.

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

Probably Bodyguard. I need the angst and the drama and the desperation to hit right.

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

Right now, probably the Cruise fic because I’m getting very self conscious about making it as fun as it should be.

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

I have my honorary beta reader/cheerleader all rolled into one with @rmd-writes. She worked her way into my docs ages ago and I can’t imagine not asking her to read it first.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?

Yes. Bodyguard did. I started it in January or February of this year, struggled to plan the next chapter, started reading a ton of Lone Star fics, began writing Teachers, and it has sat there like a sad, ignored WIP for months. But I’m coming back to it!

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

Jonah may not be an actual OC, but this version of him kind of is and I absolutely love him! He’s a tiny, loving, teacher’s pet and he is my child.

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

Cruise or Bodyguard may end up being the sexiest. If I’ve done my job right 😂

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

Bodyguard or Delayed Wedding will be the winners. Bodyguard for potential angst and bodily harm, Delayed Wedding for emotions.

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

Well that is really hard. I am gonna say the cruise WIP because I get to really lean into oblivious Alex and I’m excited for it!

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

Cruise fic. They’re on their way to Europe. I can’t wait to get to that part!

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

I guess Teachers, just for the sheer amount of time I have spent writing it. I started it in February. I would love to finish it by the end of 2023. Let’s hope. I looked back and for an unhinged week when I had Covid, I wrote an obscene amount of words. So, yeah, Teachers.

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

Bodyguard or PR Relationship. Both of them lean into tropes I love and so I want them to work.

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

Not that I can remember. Day dream? All the time.

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?

I guess Delayed Wedding might because I’ll have to rely a lot on canon. AUs I can be a bit more free.

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

Probably the Cruise fic. Or Teachers.

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

Teachers had a decent dive into Jonah, though it’s still from Carlos or TK’s perspective.

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.

I’m excited to write more angst. And a few of these will be fulllll of angst. Teeheeheee.

I have no idea who has done this. If you have, ignore me! No pressure tagging: @clottedcreamfudge @indomitable-love @cha-melodius @dumbpeachjuice @liminalmemories21 and @lightningboltreader

Progress Update #3

Hello!

I’m back with another progress update before the actual demo update, mainly because of two reasons.

Firstly, I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with writing as much as I’m struggling now with finishing chapter one. I swear that thing just refuses to be written. Hence the update’s going to come out a bit later than I had originally planned. I would love to have it done by next week, so fingers crossed.

And secondly, the more important thing:

AS OF THE NEXT UPDATE, I will be changing the name of this WIP. It will no longer be called “A Rhapsody in Blue”, but rather “Aesemyr: The Withering” - I’ll be changing the tags and everything to reflect that (and I’ll probably make a new pinned post too). If you’re wondering why I’m doing this, I’ll explain below the cut.

Otherwise, thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of your day/night. :)

Why am I changing the name?

Well, there are a few reasons for that. As you might have noticed, I am very bad at naming things and when I started writing this, A Rhapsody in Blue was just a working title. I thought that the name was quite fitting at the time, so when I first released the demo and I tried and failed to think of another name, I felt that it was fine and that I would just leave the name as is. After all, why couldn’t it be called A Rhapsody in Blue?

But as time went on, I started liking the name less and less. I don’t think it has much to do with what is going on in the story, besides the colour blue. Moreover, does it tell you what the story might be about? I don’t think so; if anything, the first thing I think of is music. And that’s not a prominent theme in the game at all. Thus, my doubts just piled up until I decided that a name change was in order.

I know that this is something I should have done sooner, that changing the name now might not be the best of ideas. I also understand that some of you might dislike the new name, but both the words are there for a reason and I believe that’s the most important thing.

I hope you don’t mind the change too much.

Thank you for reading this far! :)

[authortobenamedlater]

@thefinaljediknight tagged me. 20 questions for fanfic writers!

How many works do you have on AO3?

72. Plus 50-something on my defunct FFN.

What's your total AO3 word count?

100,643

What fandoms do you write for?

In my younger days, too many 😂 my FFN is like a fandom junk drawer. Over the past several years I’ve just about exclusively written for Star Wars (TCW and The Mandalorian) and Halo.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A Master’s Work Is Never Done (TCW, an oldie but goodie that I tend to forget about)

What Do You Do With a Drunk Togruta? (TCW)

The Toddler Invasion (TCW and probably my favorite fic I’ve ever written)

Nothing But Time (The Mandalorian)

A Marriage of (In)convenience (The Mandalorian, up there with TTI for my self-proclaimed best work, sadly the AU it began will never be what I imagined but I still love it)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Sometimes they get by me but usually yes.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

And Each Regret, And Each Goodbye (game-verse Halo) This fic is straight-up agony beginning to end.

Two Corpses In One Grave (Halo TV show) is up there, even though it’s just appropriating the show’s already angsty ending for my own purposes.

There might be something angstier on my FFN but I’m not going through stories I wrote as a high school kid to find it 🤣

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I’m going to link my Married…With a Supercarrier series here because the whole thing is a happy ending. Mostly. Happier than canon. Which is not saying much for Halo.

For individual fics I can’t decide between When The Game Is Over (Halo TV show) and Lost and Found (game-verse Halo). There’s a fair amount of angst to get to the happy ending in both but isn’t that always the best part?

Do you get hate on fics?

Not anymore but in the Wild Wild West FFN days I got some doozies.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I’ve tried and I just can’t. I don’t do well with graphic material of any sort. I’ll do fade to black or innuendo where the story calls for it but I always try to keep it humorous and sweet.

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Generally no. I did do this NCIS/Halo fic for International Fanworks Day this year and it ended up being kind of a surprise hit. I might write more in the future if I get inspired.

I also have this Babylon 5/Halo crossover that I like to roast on the headcanon rotisserie now and then.

Both of these crossovers would be pretty bonkers but For Such a Time As This might have the edge because it’s basically Sheridan and Lasky tearing a hole in space-time with the force of their combined borderline self-destructive bravery. And Spartans getting hammered on Brivari.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not officially, but @mrtobenamedlater gave me the idea for The Toddler Invasion and helped me write a good deal of Exception Handling.

What's your all-time favorite ship?

Right now Tom and Chyler (game-verse Halo) have my muse by the throat. But my all-time favorite is Faramir/Eowyn. Most of my favorite pairings resemble them in some way.

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

It’s not really a WIP but I’ve been sitting on this ROTS fix-it for about six years. It all started when I was like “Hey Anakin could have major Winter Soldier vibes” and then “hahaha Samuel L. Jackson” and started spinning a Star Wars fix-it that must be full of MCU references.

If I were to pick one of my overly-ambitious ideas to complete, it would be this one. @rainintheevening want to talk next week? 🤣

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue. Description. I’ve been told I’m great at angst (a compliment I guess?) but honestly it’s like pulling teeth sometimes to get it out.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plot and action, which is why nothing I write is more than two chapters long. I feel perpetually bad about this.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I actually did this in an original story once, but I’m sure it was atrocious because I used Google translate and the character was supposed to be speaking Quebecois French.

If I ever need to do this again I’ll find someone who actually speaks the language.

First fandom you wrote for?

The Mighty Ducks! A long long time ago.

Favorite fic you've ever written?

I already mentioned two of them, so in the spirit of shameless self-promotion I’ll pick a runner up: Only Human (Halo TV show). My effort to deal with the most (rightly) derided scene in the season. There are parts of the fic I’m not entirely happy with, but I still think I did a pretty good job.

Tagging @novelmonger @ageless-aislynn @ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask @sarnakhwritesthings @brievel and I’m blanking on anyone else right now. Mr was gone fishing last night. The tiny humans have taken over. Mama is tired.

WIP tag game

I was tagged by @dual-domination to post a snippet of a current WIP <3

I have three WIPs on the go at the moment. One of them is for an ongoing exchange so I can't share that one so have a snippet from my Pangxie Week fic wherein I made myself sad writing it

Deep down Pangzi has always known that one day a tomb he ventured into would end up becoming his own. It’s not that he has a death wish or anything like that. It’s a simple case of statistical probability. Wu Xie would be proud of him for using those words. It’s just a shame he’s not here for Pangzi to speak them aloud and impress him.  It’s true, though. The odds have always been stacked against him and you can only venture into so many trap-filled tombs and face down creatures that should only be myth before fate decides you’ve gone against her one too many times.  Pangzi has no regrets, though. He knew this line of work was dangerous. High risk, high reward as they say. And the reward has been far higher than Pangzi could ever have imagined.  He’d taken up this line of work to earn his fortune. So that he’d never again have to worry about where his next meal was coming from, or if he’d have a roof over his head that night. And, yes, he’s earned enough money to save the business his parents started before they died and purchase not just a house but multiple properties. He has everything he ever wanted, but he’d trade it all in an instant for Wu Xie. Meeting Wu Xie is the most precious treasure he’s ever found in a tomb, and he doesn’t care how cheesy that sounds.  Just thinking about Wu Xie makes him happier than he ever imagined he could be, and since he’s going to die here, why shouldn’t he be nauseatingly corny about the man he loves? It’s not like he wants to die, but he has to be realistic about his circumstances. He’s fallen several levels down from where Wu Xie and Xiaoge are. The rocks and debris from the floor that collapsed beneath him have blocked his way out, and his left ankle is at best sprained and at worst broken. Even if there was a way out he can’t walk. Still, as situations go, it could be a lot worse. He’s alone, which means he doesn’t have to die with anyone else’s deaths on his conscience. Wu Xie is safe, and Pangzi is sure Xiaoge will ensure that he stays that way. Really, that’s all Pangzi can ask for.  He has no regrets about pushing Wu Xie out of the way when the floor started to collapse. He’d do it again in a heartbeat. He’d do anything, give any part of himself, if it meant keeping Wu Xie safe.  “I’ll watch over you from Heaven,” Pangzi murmurs to the darkness that will become his final resting place. The air is getting thinner now, and the ankle that had been throbbing with pain earlier now barely hurts at all. It’s probably not a good sign, but at least he’s not going to die in pain. Eventually the air will get so thin that he’ll pass out and then he just won’t wake up again. There are worse ways to go.

🍓🛼🪐 for the ask game!

🍓 = how did you get into fanfic writing?

To be fair, I answered this in another ask so I am going to lazy and copy that answer here. 🙂

Going deep here aren’t you Em? 👀 lol I’ve enjoyed writing since I was little as an extension of my love of reading. First with poems and the anime fanfiction when I actually watch more anime. Now I read more manga and don’t write fanfiction about it. If one squints on A03 - I may have dabbled in Marvel characters and actors for a short time. 🫢 The took a long pause as life happened. Sometime last year as my mental health improved so did my love of writing and I hyper focused on Pedro Pascal so here we are. 🤣 I write more the better my mood is. Maybe a bit too much background 😵

🛼= describe your latest WIP with five emojis

🏠👓👦🏽📦🤝

Is this confusing? Yes. 😈 But it’s okay, as it only refers to the first chapter but you know, I don’t make sense. 🤣 It’s my Modern Din where he moves to OFC’s neighborhood after she’s had some circumstances lead her to moving in with her aunt who live next to Din and Grogu. ☺️

🪐= name three good things going on in your life right now

1. My long awaited vacation is almost here! It will start the end of next week. Feel free to tag me in things and message me but responses will be slow. I’ll be out of the country for 2 weeks. 😆 I’ve been looking forward to this for months. I need a break.

2. Actually precepting (teaching new nurses or new to specialty nurses the ropes of the unit) I work on a medical-surgical unit so we see everything under the sun. It can be daunting, very weird, hilarious and disturbing all in the same hour. But I feel like becoming a resource to other nurses and to staff on the unit was a good decision ☺️ As tough as it is, I enjoy it.

3. Family and friends: I speak to my parents a couple times a week and still go on trips with them so I’m always thankful to spend more time with them when I’m able and while they’re still healthy enough to do so. Both real life and online friends are blessing because I can chat about anything either really. No judgement from either - would they tell me if they did? Maybe 🤔 I’m curious now that I mention it. Pfft. 🤣

You almost always make me think about what I should be thankful for in your asks @soft-girl-musings ❤️ Thanks for that.

Current tag game <3 <3

Thanks for the tag @aroace-genderfluid-sheep ❤️ hope your day goes well friends 🥰

Current time

12:51 PM, my usual nap time. Choosing to abstain today, though. I have to bake some stuff :)

Current mood

Desperately tired. As was stated before, it’s my usual nap time and I’m only a few days out of surgery, so I’m battling some leftover pain. But, I have a family get together tomorrow and I promised to make desserts for everyone.

Current activity

Typing and lying in bed. I just ate lunch and watched an episode of Star Trek: TOS, the one where Spock gets infected by the aliens that took over his mind. Crazy episode :)

Currently thinking about

Baking and Saiki K. I’m gonna watch a couple episodes in a minute since I’ve gone a bit stagnant on it. As for baking, I’m trying to figure out how I want to layer my strawberry trifle. Might make a poll for the hell of it, see what you guys think lol

Current obsession

Snowbaz, always snowbaz. But I’m also about to go feral over the next season of What We Do In The Shadows! I missed Guillermo <3

Current favorite song

Oh god, there’s so many. I usually discover like 2-3 new songs and become obsessed with them for a solid week. Like, never listen to anything else, it’s the only thing on my mind, obsessed. The current ones are My Love Is Sick by Madds Buckley (Baz Pitch ghost wrote it fr), Under My Skin by Jukebox The Ghost (SUCH A BOP OMG IT’S SO CATCHY), and Coconut Ranger by Jack Stauber (please listen to this, I fucking BEG of you, listen to this)

Currently reading

I’m finally reading What Remains After The Storm by @hushed-chorus. It is INSANELY GOOD. I’m on the last chapter and I’m sooooooo excited to see the ending! 

Currently watching

The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K and Star Trek: The Original Series (after which I’ll start Deep Space Nine, I swear). Also doing a rewatch of The Golden Girls! I like to watch that one when I’m cross stitching :D

Current favorite character

Spock owns my heart at the moment, closely followed by Dr. McCoy <3

Current WIPs

Sorry, but I like to keep those private until I post them ;) I like to just kinda show up and post something for the first time in months, and then run back into my little bog, yknow?

WIP Folder Tag Game

Finally slinking back on here after I don’t know how long 😬 First of all, I want to thank everyone who’s been tagging me the past few weeks, I really do appreciate it! I just haven’t had a lot of energy left over to actually do much writing and/or posting, even though I still have a lot of “writing” happening in my head. (On a side note, that used to work out a lot better when I was younger—I could hold entire paragraphs verbatim in my mind for weeks at a time; now I’m lucky if I even remember roughly what direction I wanted a scene to take, lol).

And thank you so, so much to those who offered to let me bend their ear about my writing difficulties. I really do plan to take you up on it, but I’ve been procrastinating partly out of brutal shyness and partly because I’m not even sure where to begin, the reasons for which may become apparent from seeing the folders I’m about to share. I mean, yikes.

Anyway, I’m excited to play along and I’m happy to answer any asks I get! (Thanks @palimpsessed for tagging me to play!)

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how nondescriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPS.

Shelter from the Storm (RWRB)

Runaway Train (Whyborne & Griffin)

The next group are Snowbaz WIPS, many of which were begun for COC22. Still hoping to get them finished! (Those that are numbered are out of order because I use google docs, so the list is in order of what’s been most recently opened)

Beginnings

Fluff, COCC Day 15

Devotion, COC22 Day 13

Devour, COC22 Day 12

EGF23 dead darlings

So, crap. The next grouping is my shame revealed, lol. I NEVER write like this, but this is what has happened: My crucible marriage AU is a complete and utter shambles of separate files, all individual scenes that I’ve been trusting my brain to knit together at some future point. And I still believe that it will, actually, but it’s something new to me. I’m more the kind of writer who envisions an entire story from start to finish—or at least the basic bones of it—and then I sit down and proceed in a chronological and orderly fashion. I have a couple of theories about why that hasn’t happened this time, and it largely boils down to self-indulgence. I’m enjoying myself, I don’t want to bring the story to an end, and I have been keeping the scenes separate so that rather than one big mess of a file, I have one big mess of a drive. Welcome to my cluttered mind! It can be a pretty fun place, if you watch where you step.

I want to say, these are not all going to be *chapters*. The fic is going to be long, but not as long as all that! I could say more but maybe I’ll wait and see if anyone is interested enough to ask, since this post is already way too rambling. I don’t think I could possibly tag as many people as there are files here, and I think everyone has already played anyway, so as usual I’m going to apologize ahead of tagging folks who have likely already done this. Sorry ❤️
