Armed with a $5 child’s cross-stitch kit, I’m off to a brunch where one of my friends, an extremely talented cross-stitcher, is going to teach us how to cross-stitch.

Pray for me, a person with little-to-no hand skills.

Ronance Femslash February - forest

Thank you again to @crushcandles for another excellent prompt: "forest"!

I’m accepting Ronance prompts all month, so please send some my way! You can find previous prompts I've filled here.

“Remind me why we thought this would be a good idea, again?” Robin says, peering over Nancy’s shoulder as she consults the map.

Nancy doesn’t dignify that with an answer. “It should be right here,” she says irritably. “According to this, we’re practically right on top of the path for the waterfall, but there’s nothing!”

Robin knows better than to ask if Nancy’s sure she’s reading the map right. She definitely is. And Robin has absolutely no wilderness know-how with which to critique the job Nancy’s been doing so far. Robin never did Girl Scouts, never went camping, and while her parents are crunchy hippie types, their idea of communing with nature is smoking a little grass at an outdoor music festival. As far as Robin’s concerned, Nancy is a goddamned orienteering genius.

“Well,” Robin says, trying for a silver lining, “at least we haven’t lost daylight yet.” Then she looks up and notices that in the time they’ve spent consulting the map, it has, in fact, started to get dark. Though the sky above is still bright, the little hollow they’re in is caught in the shadow of the hill behind them, hurrying into dusk far ahead of the actual sunset. And that’s when Robin realizes that if you cast any random stretch of late autumn forest in the blue-grey light of twilight, it looks surprisingly like the Upside Down. Years after the world didn’t end, Robin isn’t nearly as jumpy about a possible return to that nightmare dimension as she used to be, but as she looks across at the dim, barren sprawl of trees, she still half expects a shock of red lightning to creep across the sky.

“Oh,” Nancy says, and she’s obviously thinking the same thing Robin is. She gives Robin a worried glance, and starts folding up the map. “We should head back.”

“And miss this view you’ve been talking up all day?” Robin says, trying to force as much confident cheer into her voice as she possibly can. “No way, Nance. I’m with you in this till the bitter end.”

Nancy huffs out a sharp breath, clearly not in the mood for a pep talk. “Robin, it’s late. We’re already going to be hiking back in the dark as it is. Let’s just accept that I got us hopelessly lost and write this off as a failure, OK?”

“Nancy Wheeler,” Robin says, in an overblown Old Hollywood voice that already has Nancy rolling her eyes, “don’t you know there’s nobody in the world I’d rather get lost with than you? Any day we spend together can’t possibly be a failure. I mean, we saw all sorts of cool birds, and that weird rock, and we had a delicious lunch that definitely didn’t get squished because I sat on it. And, sure, it’s a little dark and creepy now, but it’s a beautiful night!” Stepping back, she gives a dramatic sweep of her arm to encompass all the glories of nature, or whatever—and promptly falls backwards into a ditch.

“Robin!”

Robin looks up from the heap of leaves she’s lying in to see Nancy leaning over her, an expression of alarm on her face.

“I’m OK,” Robin says, sitting up and brushing leaves out of her hair.

Nancy grabs her by the shoulders, and for a moment Robin thinks she’s going to shake her, but then Nancy is pulling her into a tight embrace. “You just couldn’t resist the opportunity to clown around, could you? What if you’d hurt yourself? What if I had to leave you here in the dark while I went back to the ranger station to call an ambulance?”

Robin snorts, rolling her eyes as Nancy’s curls tickle her cheek. “As if you wouldn’t figure out a way to splint my broken limb using a fallen branch and bandages you tore from your shirt, or something.”

Nancy huffs out a laugh, and finally releases Robin to help her to her feet.

It’s then that Robin notices something out of the corner of her eye. “Hey, Nance,” she says, pointing to a faded metal sign nailed into the trunk of a nearby tree, “is this what you were looking for?”

The word ‘FALLS’ is just barely visible on the sign, along with an arrow that seems to be pointing straight into the bracken on the other side of the ditch.

Nancy reaches out to push the branches aside, revealing a narrow path leading straight up the hill. “I was right,” Nancy says, and Robin laughs, pulling her into a kiss because it’s important that they both have their priorities straight.

They make it to the waterfall just in time to catch the tail end of sunset, which is all fierce oranges and pinks, not a single streak of red in the sky.

It’s your birthday?? HELL YES. You are such a joy, so fun and funny. And that WRITING 😍 I’m so happy we’ve become pals 💛💛💛💛 Happy birthday!!

It was yesterday!! I was just out all day and not on tumblr.com so here I am clearing my inbox BUT ALSO thank you!! I know we don't chat as much as we did while we were both into The Witcher but I get SO MUCH joy from seeing you on my dash ❤️

[storm-and-starlight]

For the writer asks: 🌿 & 🎀, please and thank you

🌿how does creating make you feel?

Exhausted. Drained. Proud. Delighted. Full of wonder. It's hard to describe, but it's exhausting to actually sit down and write and I always end up feeling completely empty by the end of a session and then half an hour later I'm feeling the best I have all day, and on top of that it's just so much fun to come up with cool ideas and think about how I can interweave themes and motifs and create twists and there's nothing in the world like looking back at something I've made that I'm genuinely proud of.

🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing

Well, normally this is where I would insert the same old-same old about being really good at imagery and description and emotion, but I think I'm gonna mix it up and say that I've been making a lot of progress lately on writing dialogue, which has always been my weakest area of writing, especially when I don't have a media with an auditory component to use as a crutch (currently writing fic for a comics series, which means I'm entirely on my own in terms of character voice and speech patterns, I can't just rely on my echoic memory). It's been getting a lot better over the course of this one fic (which I have been working on for five months straight, holy shit), and I'm really proud of how far it's come!

Scary Witcher fics (Geraskier)

Last year i decided i would compile a mini list of some dark/spoopy Geraskier fic recs to share with the masses. In no particular order:

The Only One Who Resonates by crushcandles

"Did you really worry?" he asks, licking his lips.

Jaskier barely hears the question and it doesn't register. It doesn't matter. No matter what Geralt asks him, the answer is the same.

"Yes," he says, deep from his empty belly.

++++

with lilies and with laurels he goes by twelvemagpies

The day that Jaskier dies, Geralt wakes up to an almighty ringing in his ears.

++++

Fever Song by crushcandles

"What are you doing?" Geralt barks.

Jaskier freezes, knife in one hand, a long deep blue strip of fabric in the other.

"Cutting a ribbon," he says. He doesn't stutter, but his eyes are wide; he knows he might be doing something he’s not supposed to.

++++

Quiet by Funkspiel

But still, Geralt looked for a cure. He did not ask for forgiveness. He didn’t deserve it – not while Jaskier was still unable to say the words to pardon him for his wish. Wishes. How Geralt hated them, hated the word. His wish had driven Yennefer away. His wish had bound Jaskier to a life in which he could not do what he loved. Geralt didn’t deserve forgiveness. So he did not ask.

And then came the contract about the witches of the bog.

++++

Silver and Copper by Heronfem

From the shadows a man steps out, his feet soundless on the flagstones. He’s tall for a human, lanky, and dressed all in grays and blacks. His clothing is good but oddly threadbare, the embroidery standing out against the silk, and the collar is high on his deathly pale, sun deprived neck. He wears many rings on his fingers, and several necklaces tangle at his throat. Handsome, with nut brown hair with a bit of a curl to it, and a fine jaw and nose, but his eyes.

His eyes are horrible.

++++

haunt by theredtailedhawkwithjewelsforeyes

He is exhausted with the grief of it. He does not let himself feel, and he feels this anyways. Sharp, aching, unfair. The absence of a heartbeat.

++++

Echo by ravenbringslight

Jaskier was gathering his things and he wasn’t panicking. He’d known that Geralt was going to leave any day now like he always did, so that was no surprise, even if it hit him like a punch to the gut (he was familiar with Geralt’s punches to the gut and he could say with great authority that getting left behind again felt slightly worse). But he had enough money to get to Oxenfurt now and his headache was gone and the vomiting seemed to have been short-lived. Other than the whole “can’t speak without the pain of a thousand rusty knives” situation he was right as rain.

In the corner, the thing that looked like him winked.

++++  

Bloodhunger by SpinnerDolphin

“What do you need?” Jaskier asks, low. His heart stutters a little, and he firmly tells himself that this is his friend, and he is not afraid of his friend.

Geralt actually trembles. “I need to kill something,”

++++

a thousand voices by mrc2 (this one is actually a WIP but guys it’s SO disturbing i refuse to read it after dark)

“You scared me,” Jaskier said. “I didn’t see you there.”

The statue, as expected, didn’t reply. It was a strange place for a statue to be.

“Why are you here?” Jaskier asked slowly as he took a tentative step closer.

And to his horror, the statue simply smiled.

Tagged by @bambirex and @wren-of-the-woods, thank you my dears! <33

Rules: give us the links to your wonderful words with the Most hits/Most kudos/Most comments/Most bookmarks /Most words/Least words

Most hits: I Will Lay Me Down

The empath!Jaskier AU that still takes up a certain part of my brain and begging to be finished. I really liked the world-building exercise at the time, but then ended up not showing most of the empathy-as-superpower setting in the fic. Although I wrote it more than two years ago by this point, and I still remember it being a lot of fun.

Mot kudos: Hug a Witcher Day

A little fic about touch-starved Geralt and him wanting to hug Jaskier. It was so self-indulgent and ended up being everything I wanted for myself. I reread it a while ago and it was still very nice! Highly recommend rereading your own writing, it's made for you, after all.

Most comments: and the wolf was nowhere to be found

The reverse truth serum fic. Jaskier is forced to lie and angst ensues. It was fun hurting my readers alskdjf :'D

Most bookmarks: A Master in Matchmaking

Matchmaker Jaskier tries to find Geralt a perfect match. He is very dumb and adorable in this one. I thoroughly enjoyed writing it and reading it. I just... love oblivious Jaskier so much, and also Geralt who is very very in love with him.

Most words: You are too well tangled in my soul

The time traveler's wife AU. It needed a flow chart! It's the longest fic I've ever written and somehow it's still not finished. The most recent chapter is left on an angsty cliffhanger so hopefully no one is mad at me.

Least words: I've written quite a few 100-wrod drabbles. My favorite is probably Wishes. I thought Menacing was cute too. Drabbles are a lot of fun to write and they are low commitment too, very nice to get yourself back into writing after a dry spell. I highly recommend it too.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Hello, I have managed to wrangle a few brain cells together for a meme! Tagged by @andordean

Three ships: I still live and breathe everything about The Witcher. So every combination of Geralt/Yen/Jaskier is my jam. I’ve also adored rare pairs going all the way back to Stargate Atlantis, so rare pairs are definitely my cuppa. And Witcher fandom has so many!! I mean definitely glom onto the Grumpy One/Sunshine One in pretty much every fandom and I even made a vid about it (New Best Friend). But in the end I can’t just have one type of ship. I want it all. Om nom nom, my fannish buffet. Give me slash, give me femslash, show me your character studies and crack and joy with all the tropes and characters. Most of my witcher friends know I make the rounds everywhere. 😍

Last song: Rasputin by Boney M because I rewatched this Bucky Barnes Rasputin fanvid and now I’m earwormed for the next month.

Last movie: uhh, probably Blade 2 because I rewatched for my Blade vid WIP. I love it a lot and had forgotten so much about it since I hadn’t rewatched it as much as the first film.

Currently reading: Spin State by Chris Moriarty even though I haven’t touched the book in 2 months. I also have 12,000 witcher fic tabs open and keep bouncing off because my brain is parsing only very short things right now.

Currently watching: Picard, The Last of Us, Crazy Delicious, Piñata Masters.

Currently consuming: Coffee and yogurt.

Currently craving: Food-wise I would love some kind of mac and cheese with some very rich cheese combination. But big picture life cravings? I need this emotional ulcer to go away. I want to feel like I can breathe and see a little more clearly again. I have a final interview that was FINALLY scheduled for the end of this week. It’s been two long months (on top of many more months) of so many interviews, professional calls, social anxiety, and fatigue. I am tired of forgetting things because I’m hyperfocused on job stuff and its so hard to turn it off. I’m tired of having to push down the imposter syndrome again and again. I am so tired and anxious. I would like to be done and start this new chapter of my life, please.

Tagging: ooooh, um, who do I tag who wants to do it? You don’t have to but I’m throwing it out here. I have no idea who likes being tagged for these kind of things but!! Here! @littlestsnicket @therealallecto @crushcandles @spacecores @salamanderinspace @lovelysailboat @reinvent-and-believe

Three Things Fic roundup thingo!

"Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems.” Then tag some folks."

Tagged by: 

@writcraft (read here) 

@moonflower-rose (read here!) 

(thanks, possums!!!). 

1. Most popular fic: would be Embers (Drarry, Explicit, 40k), my strange progeny. I wrote this in a feverish state of knowing exactly what I wanted it to be, and how I wanted it to go, and in a fit of the stars aligning I was happy with it at the end. The response blew me away when it posted, and I’ve wondered what made it so popular, other than it having a blend of things people were particularly craving in Drarry at the time. My favourite scene is definitely the wisteria kiss. One day I will commission art of this, I thinkkk. I also pine for the days when I could write a 40k fic lol.

2. HIDDEN GEMS: This is infinitely harder than the most popular, as that was just a matter of looking at my stats lol, but hidden gems is a bit trickier. I think my picks are: 

 - Almond Blossom: (Jeddy, Explicit, 4k) This was a hell of a good time to write, and for that it is a gem. Fucking about with AOB dynamics is my old faithful and this was written to clear out the cobwebs, make someone I adore smile (Hi, Rosiee), and be shamelessly horned up, and happily, she did just that! 

- Darling, Don’t Think Twice: (Harry/Teddy, Explicit, 18k) I have a story. While writing this, ‘darling, don’t think twice’ was always the working title, based on the lyrics to a song I’m obsessed with: Fine Young Cannibals by Wolf Parade. When finished with my fuck-away-your-abandoment-issues-clap-your-hands opus, pleased with myself as I was, I belatedly googled the lyrics and they are not what I’ve been hearing since like 2013 lmfao. Anyway, it’s a real banger of a song and maybe the real hidden gems were the lyrics we misheard along the way. Also, I still really like this fic. 

TAGGING some people, who probably have already done this so no pressure (I know it’s a full on time of year for some and spare energy can be hard to come by) @firethesound @gracerene @dictacontrion @sweet-s0rr0w @missroserose @nv-md @candybarrnerd @crushcandles

2022 End of Year Fic Review

tagged by @aadmelioraa, thank you friend! This was super fun! :D

1. What is your AO3 account?

same as tumblr, ulfrsmal aka wolf-kissed

2. How many words did you write total in 2022?

Without counting Echoes, since that was both 2021 and 2022 and I cannot remember what chapters were published when, it's a whooping 383,780!

3. How many fics did you publish in 2022? How many multichapters vs oneshots?

Again without counting Echoes (mutichapter), 112 fics in total out of which 9 are multichapters... I was the king of oneshots apparently xD

4. What was your longest fic? Your shortest fic?

Technically the longest is Echoes with 262,310 words but since it don't count -- The Queen Of Thorns And Roses (The Spanish Princess) with 37,196. The shortest is Pregnancy (Vikings: Valhalla) with 348...

5. What was your most popular fic? Your least popular fic?

The most popular going by hits, Holy Water (The Witcher, DD:DNE) with 1921. By kudos and bookmarks, In Due Time (The Witcher) with 130 kudos and 25 bookmarks! Counting the private ones too at least.

[Echoes sits at 8608 views, 194 kudos, and 33 bookmarks]

The least popular is Snow (Vikings, DD:DNE) with 9 hits and zero kudos, and I have a whole lotta fics with zero bookmarks...

6. What fic didn’t perform as well as you thought it would?

Well everything I've published after marking my fics to be viewed Logged-In Only has had WAY less attention than when they were publicly available, but I don't really mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. What fic performed way better than you thought it would?

Steeler (The Last Kingdom). I thought it'd interest only me but I was way wrong!

8. What was your favorite fic you wrote from 2022?

OOF. Too many ngl XD To name a few...

Headlong (Spartacus)

Flame Of Knowledge (The Last Kingdom)

The Salt On That Ivory Skin (The Last Kingdom)

Nothing Can Break Me (I shall rise again) (The Last Kingdom)

Heathen Throne (Vikings, tw incest)

Vampire Heart (Vikings, tw incest).

9. What was your favorite fic that somebody else wrote in 2022?

Ah here we go, this is the question where I rant and rave! :D

Fields Of Joy by baku_midnight (Spartacus) is one of the most poetic stories I've ever read in the entirety of ao3, and poly to boot!

bound by flesh, freed by blood by @vveissesfleisch (Our Flag Means Death) is the kind of gory, sexy, messy DD:DNE I love most despite knowing virtually ntohing about its fandom, ahah!

polish the blood and the bruise by @underragingwaves (Vikings + Vikings Valhalla) has excellent character dynamics, little details all throughout, and superb military jargon

The Morning Doesn't Reach Us by crushcandles (The Witcher) is exhilarating, I love my Witchers poly and feral, and this fic delivers!

May He Rest In Pieces by geekinthepink (Outlander, DD:DNE) revived my love for horror stories and darkfics, plus I love the Murder Husbands trope

Bonus Fluff: The Man Made Of Love by Anonymous (The Witcher) is fluff made art 💟

10. Tag your friends to do this year-end fic review as well!

idk if y'all have been tagged yet so feel free to tag me into the comments if you have, bUT: @bouncehousedemons, @vveissesfleisch, @underragingwaves, @solinarimoon - TAG! YOU'RE IT! :D

End Of Year

continuing the tradition this year:

Fandom: HydraTrashParty (January-July) Fic Count: 37 Word Count: 115,925

Fandom: The Boys/ Jack Quaid RPF (August-December) Fic Count: 12 Word Count: 42,049

Total Word Count: 157,974

Find me on AO3 here

Top Three (Kudos)

The Other Stuff (The Boys) - Butcher/Hughie

Ein Gift (TFATWS) - Zemo/Bucky, Rumlow/Winter Soldier (past)

Something to Remember (CA:TWS) - Rumlow/Winter Soldier

Top Three (Personal) (under the cut)

Easy Intel (CA:TWS) - Rumlow/Steve Rogers

Rumlow’s not expecting the pretty blond who ducks into the hallway with timing a little too perfect for Rumlow to mark down as accidental, she glances up as they pass and, oh, he certainly knows her well enough that he could blow her cover when Steve says a friendly and neighbourly hello in passing; he makes a mental note to update their Intel later and make sure to include Sharon Carter’s name as a possible risk before giving her a wink on the way by while Rogers isn’t looking. It’ll be twice as fun tonight if Steve’s place turns out to be bugged by SHIELD as well as Hydra.

OR: Rumlow has a thing for sticking his cock in super soldiers that could snap his spine; more Intel on Steve Rogers was just an added bonus.

Running Lines (The Boys, RPF) - Karl/Jack (Butcher/Hughie)

This doesn’t feel like Karl to him at all, this feels like – Almost like – “Butcher,” he says, breathes. Karl's smile goes a little wider, a little feral at the edges, dangerous is what it is and Jack tries to swallow around the way the older man clenches his fingers a little more, effectively cutting off Jack’s ability to take another gasping breath. "Ah," Karl starts - just a low, rough exhale, "you wanna play do you Hughie?"

OR: Jack goes to run lines with Karl, gets more than he bargained for (but exactly what he wanted)

‘Til the End of the Line (Series, CA:TWS) - Steve/Bucky, Rumlow/Bucky

It might finally break what's left of him if Steve knew the way he's had to dig his nails into his palms hard enough to draw blood just to shape his breath into the sound of a moan.

OR: Steve will never be able to give Bucky what he needs

We're about 70k less than last year but that'll happen with a mid-year fandom switch up 😅 As always, so much love to all my pocket-friends and cheerleaders/ readers this year but especially to:

@sparklingbinjuice @5ummit @billyboyblue @the-ravening @unlikelymilliner @ladyshallots @crushcandles & @semains

Here's to more words (more smut) in 2024 ❤️

[kushielsmercy]

Thanks for the tag, @andordean <3 Rules: We would like to ask you to recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is "most popular" and 2 that are "hidden gems”! I actually am not overly fond of my most popular fic (Lock My Heart) so I'm gonna cheat and go with #2. Necessary Things is one of the first Lambert/Aiden fics I wrote and still one of my favorites. I think this is the first one where I really found their voices and leaned into that balance of absolute bastards who really care about each other. I've just got a soft spot for Lambert trying, even when he struggles with it, and unlike everyone else in his like Aiden seeing and appreciating the trying for the act of love that it is. Now that I think about it, the next installment of Bubblegum that I just started working on is along that same theme. I like what I like. As for underrated, I'll scream about Counterpoise until the day I die, but I feel like I've done that enough already. So two others that have gotten less attention are Weave and A Matter of Semantics. Neither have romantic pairings so they don't get much love but I'm personally really proud of them. Weave retells key points of TW3 from the crones perspective, and I think gives another layer of horror to what are already some of the creepiest and most interesting characters in the lore. I really like what I did with it, if I do say so myself. And A Matter of Semantics is a hard look at how brutal life on the path is from Lambert's perspective. It's short and to the point, and I'd love it if more people would give it a try. @grassylampshade @stinastar @crushcandles @beepbeepsan, what about you guys???

[jaskierdyke]

11, 13 and 56 for the ask meme thingie pls! :D

hiii leo <3

11: i'm bad at reading stuff that's new or in progress, and i'm also like a boomer when it comes to using the internet properly so i'll just say my 4 favorite witcher fics of all time: no reason to run by summerfrost, when bear stepped clear of bear by crushcandles, a good few verses by sospes and a song of selfish hearts by gremble

talk about rewiring ur brain and making u a different person and stuff.

13: a common writing tip i always follow? gotta be writing with my whole heart and my whole dick. like just writing... exactly what i want to write and forget about the rest lol

56: something about my writing i'm proud of? oh now you've got me. oh just kill me. i try to take on a kind of poetic feel in my writing and i think sometimes i succeed.
