Find the Word Tag Game

I’ve been tagged by @on-noon to find the words they chose for me in any of my current WIPs and post the line/passage where I found each one. Thank you for the tag, and for the challenge! I definitely need to write more of my original works, because I found most of these in fanfics.

My words were: hoping, fit, home, caught, and compare

I found hoping in my Danny Phantom oneshot “Lingering Scars”:

"Going on with what? If you haven't noticed, Jazz, there's a lot going on all the time in this town. In this family. In my life. You're gonna have to be a little more specific."

"With you! With these stains! This is clearly blood from that huge scratch you got the last time you were trying to train Cujo, but you told me that already healed and I haven't seen you wincing at the dinner table once lately! I know you've done laundry since then, too, it's been at least a month. So why is there a stain? Why are you hurt in the same place, to the same degree, when I can't see any evidence that you're hurt! At all! What's going on with you?" Jazz is nearly out of breath by the time she finishes her questions. Her arms can't seem to settle on being crossed in front of her chest or flailed out in the direction of Danny's laundry.

"You... noticed all that?" Danny asks quietly, muttering a curse to himself and hoping Dani doesn't hear.

I found fit in a rough draft of my Given oneshot “Present Tense”:

There's a person. For the first time in what feels like a very long time, and no time at all, there's a person on the beach with him. Their back is turned to him, but their features keep… shifting. They’re wearing a strange uniform, that looks in turns like the one he used to wear in middle school and the one he wears now as a high schooler. It doesn't quite fit on their body, either. Maybe a girl wearing a boy's uniform that’s too big for her? Or a boy who's grown too quickly and made his clothes too small? Somehow, it's almost both. Neither. Why would anyone other than him be in a place like this, wearing clothes that keep changing on their own? The question doesn't stay in his mind long.

I found home in my novel WIP “To Be Honest”:

Their family had searched. An assistant sent by the Shepherd family had searched. Micah himself had gone out into the wilderness beyond his home time and time again, just like tonight, and that last question had never been answered. The questions of where Asher and David had gone, whether they'd lived or died, whether they blame him even now -- none of those have ever been answered. So why, when he finally gets a chance to ask someone who was actually involved, is Micah in this situation? Why is David insisting that Micah is trying to ask something else? What went wrong?

I found caught in “Lingering Scars” again:

"If you don't tell us why you're hurt, Danny, I swear I'll --!" she has her threats primed for him and everything. No mercy. No delay. Fenton through and through. Caught between terrifying a kid who's already been through too much and being hunted for sport by a Fenton who's been dabbling in ghost hunting her whole life.

I also found compare(d) in “Lingering Scars”:

For the first time since they'd started talking, the cold in Danny starts to ease. Settle back into its usual place. His blood always runs a little chilly, and he's always half-conscious of that nebulous space inside him where it all pools together, but it changes when he's scared. The intensity difference between the normal state of the ice powers that live in him and the literal fight-flight-or-freeze version of them can't possibly be compared. His whole body relaxes when it goes back to normal.

To keep the game going, I’ll tag @aohendo, @writingpotato07, @calicojackofficial, @midnights-melodiverse, @wildjuniperjones, @galaxy-writes, @365runesofwriting, and any other mutual who wants to try to find these words in their own WIPs can say I tagged them!

To those I’m tagging, your words are: agitation, exchange, gesture, deliberate, inconsistent

Got a freeform connverse ko-fi request, baby!

I mean, the request was them doing something cute as a couple, but almost same thing.

Thank you for the tip and request, Alphasun! 😁

some recs of my favorite fics

book canon fics

Goodbye Means Going Away (And Going Away Means Forgetting) by vixleonard

the original jonsa fic, if you haven’t read it yet you should. it’s from rickon’s pov, where his memories of ned and cat bleed into his memories of jon and sansa, who care for him now.

i’m the dog that ate your birthday cake by dwellingondreams

au where tyrion is the first born so joanna lives for a while. it’s a really interesting exploration of who joanna might have been, as well as what her impact could have been on tyrion.

you're my king and i'm your lionheart by plantagenet

jeyne & robb’s relationship from jeyne’s pov. it’s a great take on jeyne bc it gives her a spine without leaning too hard into the “quirky nurse” route that the show took. heartbreaking of course.

Four Women Who Were Jon Snow's Mother by Baamon5evr

bunch of short drabbles on "what if" situations where various women wind up mothering jon snow - lyanna, cat, elia, ashara. they're interesting character studies & tbh “what if jon snow was raised slightly differently” aus are my weakness

Agony by bubblewrapstargirl

au where theon is brought back to life with all his memories, right when he’s taken away from pike as a hostage. i fucking love this fic because it has so much throbb, theonsa, and theonjon and those are my weaknesesssas but it was abandoned so beware. it's worth the heart break though!!

game of thrones/house of the dragon canon fics

The King's Desire by exax3

the series but throbb are fucking. mostly show canon bc of the ages. made me want to kms but in a good way.

The Black Widow by Its_Rhaenin_Time

ongoing. kind of a tragicomic take on the dance, an au where alicent convinces the small council to put aegon aside as heir, wed aemond to rhaenyra, and install aemond as king as a way of protecting rhaenyra from being killed. it’s excellent and hilarious. technically more pro blacks, but it's not really anti anyone on team green except criston and the lannisters (the rhaenyra/aegon dynamic is sublime). focuses a lot on gender, sex, and cultural dynamics. currently my favorite fic actually, i'm obsessed with it.

The fire of our blood by katbux

ongoing. au where aegon ii reincarnates just as he’s crowned to try to redo the dance. surprised me by going the aegon/aemond/helaena route romance wise (which is the best route), and i like all the politicking in it. less “pro green” than it is “pro aegon, helaena, aemond, and daeron getting extensive therapy” & it’s kind of a mix between show & book canon. really delves into the "can they actually avoid the dance" question.

Breakbones and the Dragonrider by beneathawesternsky

romantic fic that started as an exploration of the rhaenyra/harwin relationship and morphed into an au where they wind up married. very cute, very romantic, love the supporting characters in it, and the way house strong is characterized as a northern house pre-harrenhal and all the “aegon’s vision” stuff in it.

amity and boscha are sorta foils, in a way

there's the obvious bit where they're both former mean girls and amity improved herself while bosha didn't

but there's also like

boscha's clearly got SOME sort of abandonment issues goin on in this episode

and amity's also had some abandonment issues of her own (probably originating a lot from her own father slowly fading from her life with absolutely no explanation when she was a child). we see these come to a head in eclipse lake when she is so easily convinced that luz will abandon her if she is not perfect

but whereas boscha acts Like That because of her issues, amity handles them relatively healthily, seeking love from good people who she knows will give it to her unconditionally and communicating with honesty and understanding when she feels like she is being pushed away by luz
