okok happy birthday I really want to know more wizard au stuff but I cannot find your fics pls a link would be much appreciated

also this is just like a free space to talk abt your au literally whatever you've been wanting an excuse for this anon is 4 you happy birthday my friend !!! we're not mutuals but you're like one of two regular pnat people on tumblr which is a bond I Think

THANK YOUUU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES!!!! 💕💕 If it makes you feel better I’m not mutuals with ANYONE. This is a sideblog. Regardless it’s nice to have you here, I’m glad to be one of your few pnat blogs. :)

AND WELL LOL that would be because most of wizard au currently isn’t published! the best place to know more stuff about the au is either in my #wizard au tag, or just asking me! i love to talk about it, and right now it’s a lot easier for me to answer asks in my spare moments. i occasionally post screenshots from my doc files on here, but the fics are taking a backseat while I work on my Job Project.

Alternatively, you can check out:

The Pnat At Wizard School AU I Made When I Was 16 Is Still Fun Unfortunately JKR DNI - This was my first attempt at publishing the writing I’d done, before I got embarrassed and orphaned it, back in 2020. It’s a little outdated but most of it holds up. Boggart fic is one of my favorites.

Pnat Hogwarts AU by Twilighteve. I made wizard AU way back in 2015 with a friend, and twilighteve wrote SEVEN FICS as fanwork. The story now is different and follows Isabel rather than Max, but these are still great fics and I’m very lucky to have had someone enjoy my au enough to write so much for them. Throughout the Tournament is a really fun read.

i cant believe i’ve had this story for like 8 years at this point. i think it’s almost more fun to have as an au on my blog than an actual fic series? looking back whenever i start thinking about The Fics i just get stressed out. i’ve had it as an au since 2015 and i’ve had writing wips since 2018. its nice to have something with me for that long, i think thats why i keep coming back to it? even though thinking about it in terms of Fic Output and Writing Order makes me so stressed. at the end of the day it’s mine. and it’s there for be an outlet for me. if i want to be lazy about it, i can. if i want to put a lot of hard work into it, i can. i get to cozy up before bed and imagine wizjo scenarios.

and seeing how the characters have developed over the years has been weird- like, i wrote a lot of this in 2015. what do you MEAN codys a vampire. what do you MEAN theres whole new areas of the paranormal. its funny but when put next to current pnat you can REALLY see how its dated lol. so much is built on top of the 2015-2016 era headcanons like cody & lisa being twins, or not knowing what the spirit in isabels umbrella was like. we didnt know flipflop yet!!!! hes just not in there!!!!! we didnt know what the BERG was so max isnt a catboy!!! davy doesnt exist!!!!!!!

and there are in-comic background characters that we would talk about and gave names who show up in the au. these two are chasers on the gryffindor quidditch team with isabel & johnny:

& we named them sarah and logan. that might canonically be their names too????? but i cant remember.

Here are some very practical Wizard AU facts:

Story spans from 2nd year when Isabel loses Eightfold to 7th(?) year when they graduate

The biggest reason so much isn’t on AO3 is because theres so much I have no idea how to organize it. For example:

At my current pace, I have ~5 fics based on central emotional beats. In order to keep things interesting for non-izjo readers, I tried adding a little overarching plot

Said plot now vastly overshadows the initial series purpose of a Dorky 6 Year Long Izjo Slowburn

‘Wait I don’t care about this i just want my dorky 6 year long izjo slowburn. but wait, this has lived in my head since 2015, is it even legible to anyone who would just be coming into it?’

~5 central plot fics, each with around 5 chapters at maybe 10k per chapter give or take. is roughly 250k total. even if i do publish this it’s going to take years

What else is there…………. Isabel is really good at offensive magic. She becomes quidditch team captain in their 5th year. Max hates flying on brooms.

Wizjos arc means so much to me.

Their friendship vaguely starts in 2nd year. theyre the quidditch beaters but work horribly together- they argue a lot and dont get along at all, it almost gets them kicked off the team. theyre forced into a situation that pairs them to work together sometime mid semester, and at the end of it they’re still… tense, but have a better understanding of each other? like ‘you annoy me but we had a moment that i would feel bad betraying. i think were more similar than i thought and i dont know how to feel about it yet’. Johnny develops his crush and it’s very strangled because he’s 12.

By 3rd year they’re more cooperative. Getting towards friendly. Theyre teammates AND housemates, so even though theyre in separate friend groups they spend a lot of time together. Still bickering but there’s slowly more and more fun behind it. Less ‘i’ll shove you off your broom’ and more ‘hey maybe if we do x we can shove x off their broom together’. Isabel begins having fun hanging out with johnny because he bites back. It’s stopped being annoying and become ‘oh hes just as conscious (whether he knows it or not) about his image as i am. it’s nice to put that down around someone. and also blast him with wizard lasers sometimes. and get blasted by wizard lasers.’

By 4th year they’re friends and Johnny’s still sitting with his feelings. It’s just a part of daily life. Wake up. Brush teeth. Shut Up Guerra (Hey Guerra). Lunch. Pick on a 2nd year. Meet up with Guerra before practice. Tell that one joke cause it always makes her laugh. Don’t make it obvious how you feel. Don’t let it slip how you feel. Don’t jeopardize this. Don’t do anything that’d make her feel weird. You’re her friend and he likes being her friend so it’s not a big deal. Isabel has slowly been getting more pressure from her grandpa, and every time shes stressed and cant go to her AC friends she goes to Johnny. So by 4th year they’re more or less best friends.

By 5th year they’re a capital T Team. Isabel’s gryffindor captain now and Johnny’s essentially her right hand. He’s there to hold new member tryouts with her, they study in the commonroom late at night, hes so gleeful about her uppity new position that he permanently cements calling her Captain into their teasing nicknames and Isabel hates it. In return Isabel makes him do extra laps, because she can do that now. And then Johnny gets in a non-serious accident and is in the infirmary for a week and suddenly Isabel is confronted with Oh. Oh I Don’t Like This. Oh This Is Bad. He’s fine he just gets like a concussion or something but Isabel doesn’t KNOW that right away and all of a sudden she’s faced with ‘i didnt realize how much of my life you’ve become and i miss you now that youre not there’ ‘…….why do i miss you now that youre not there.’ ‘we have a quidditch match coming up and i dont know if youll be healthy enough to play’ ‘i dont care about the game. id cancel in an instant if it means you wont have to play injured’ ‘………………why did i-’ etc. And afterwards Johnnys FINE but isabel is left with this weird hole in her gut and the reality that In That Situation That Was My Reaction And Those Were My Feelings. She’s confronted with the fact that somewhere along the line, Johnny became someone important to her. And that him getting hurt worried her. Because she cares about his wellbeing. Because she likes spending time with him. Because he’s her quidditch partner. Because she doesn’t think she could see herself playing with anyone else. Because she doesn’t think she’d want to play with anyone else. And then shes in trouble.

By 6th year is when things start kicking into gear. For starters the Triwizard Tournament because I can’t do a wizard au without some wizard deathsports. None of it is directly involved, that’s actually MAX’S B-plot, but a lot of what goes on because of it directly influences the wizjo A-plot.

Now we’re dealing with Johnnys time-tempered feelings that he’s accepted nothing would happen with but are still very alive, and ISABEL, who has JUST realized and has been stewing in her feelings all summer. With no outlet or real processing. Cant even go to johnny about it because well he Is johnny. He’s johnny and he gets under her skin and helps her with her transmutation homework and when she blasts him in dueling class he gets back up with a bigger grin than when she knocked him down. And she’s going to explode, she thinks.

And I’ve talked about this but when Headmaster Boss Leader (lmfao) says the forest is off limits during the tournament, of course they bet who can sneak out and last longer. And of course both friend groups scatter and get lost in the woods and of course who finds each other but. each other. and of course theyre both angry and worried about their friends and on guard bc theyre in the fucking forbidden forest at like 1am. Isabels ashamed that she didnt think more and johnnys grumpy and theyre so so blaming it on each other. Don’t deal with your feelings when you can express them through what you both know best: bickering and riling each other up to get the energy out. Isabels doing all this while trying Not to think about her crush. Johnnys long accepted his crush and that it’s not going to happen. So they are both very very surprised when Isabel kisses him mid argument, much to her horror. She apologizes and they get back to looking for their friends, who find them first. Later that night Isabel decides to apologize properly, because in her mind she let her emotions get out of control and seriously took advantage of him and she feels horrible about it. He’s someone she cares about, even though he probably doesn’t feel the same way, and it was wrong (She’s beating herself up and saying see? heres what happens if you let yourself have nice things. youd be lucky if he even speaks to you after what you did. you cant do this again.). Johnny however hears ‘that meant nothing to me i’m embarrassed and dont read into it’. Which is. Fine. He knew that. He’s known that. Hes big and scary and doesn’t let something like rejection get to him. Especially cause it wasn’t even rejection because she was never interested in the first place! Which he knows! So it doesn’t matter! And he can handle it really well! Yeah sure thing Guerra no big deal why’d she ever WANT to kiss him right theyre not like that! See her at practice ! they both walk away like Glad that was cleared up! [screaming]

This keeps happening. 6th year is when everything thats been boiling starts bubbling over.

isabel kisses johnny and everything gets wobbly. they’re trying to focus on their studies, and quidditch, and maintain that comfortable friendship theyve had since 3rd year, and not think about how nice it would be to try it just one more time. everyone, including the guest students from other schools that are here for the tournament, can see that theyve got something going on, even if they cant. johnny makes an excuse to drape his legs over isabels lap. isabel finds an excuse to grab johnnys wrist, or nudge him on the shoulder. they’re trying to deal with how things used to be and how they are now and how they want them to be and how they feel.

they ALMOST kiss again during wizard prom, which they don’t attend together. but they dont.

and then they have exams in spring. and isabels sooooo confident that she’ll knock out that stupid dog boggart just like she did third year. so she’s pretty shaken up when her grandpa shows up instead and says hes pulling her out of school early. shes too much trouble and hes through putting up with this time-wasting education, its time for her to quit being an embarrassment to him and finish learning the family magic. theres a lot more insults thrown in but thats the jist. and she goes running to the commonroom because not only did all that happen and she’s freaking out, but it happened and she freaked out in front of the entire class. and johnny goes after her because hes worried like crazy and they have a moment and he goes a bit overboard on the whole ‘if thats what your real grandpas like then i dont care who he is hes a jackass. cant he see what an annoyingly massive brain youve got on your shoulders or how youre cracked at strategy or’ and he does that for like 10 minutes while gently rubbing her back and isabel is having another crisis on top of her grandpa crisis. because what she tried so hard to kill is still very much alive. and hes being weirdly soft and comforting and she feels better with him here and its a lot to deal with. And she feels horrible and guilty and she doesn’t want him to stop.

Johnny is trying desperately to break tension and make sure she knows its bullshit. She’s HIS friend! Nobody talks like that about one of HIS friends and gets away with it! Even if it was a creature disguised as her grandpa and not actually her grandpa! SHE deserves to know that it’s not true and HES not gonna stand by it! But shes resisting and hes frustrated and there’s got to be SOMETHING thatll get through her head there’s got to be SOMETHING he can do to show her what he thinks but shes being DIFFICULT and hes BAD AT WORDSTHINKING and- oh okay thats a kiss. To get through her big smart wonderful dense skull. And it’s very soft and very determined to say ‘you’re wonderful. this is how wonderful i think you are. you dont need me to tell you it but please listen please please please if you need to hear it from someone else ill tell you. i dont really know how to in the way you deserve but youre worth learning’. All in front of the couch they spent hours on studying and planning matches on and napping and its warm and isabel is. well. Isabel Is In Trouble.

And then oh. Well. Um. Hello Maxwell. Who Came To Check On Us Because We Were Taking So Long .

frankly i’m still not sure how they sort that one out. johnny awkwardly excuses himself. and sometime before the school year ends they Actually Talk About It

By 7th year theyre together and very happy and very much the school menaces. Turns out avoiding your feelings gets you nowhere when instead you could face them and put your head together and cause all your separate rabblerousery with each other. And also hold hands with your best friend who you meet for breakfast and fall asleep on and spar against and get excited over the upcoming quidditch season with and kiss and sneak out to the astronomy tower with a blanket. isabel doesn’t want to take over franciscos legacy and johnnys like ‘i mean youve been pretty busy buildin your own, cap’. and she thinks. yeah. but itd be um. kind of empty with just me, dont you think?

Because she likes spending time with him. Because he’s her quidditch partner. Because she doesn’t think she could see herself playing with anyone else. Because she doesn’t think she could see herself wanting to play with anyone else. And then shes in trouble. Because neither does he.

#asks #anon #I WROTE ……. SO MUCH MORE THAN I MEANT TO…… I GOT CARRIED AWAY..#THANK U FOR THE ASK I WENT A LITTLE BONKERS #head in my HANDS. WIZJO.#wizard au

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason. <3

all of my fics (on AO3) are ofmd soooo:

First fic: First Snow! wrote it last november and what a ride it's been since then (my first fics ever thankfully died along with winglin.net godbless<3)

Last fic: Five-star review, which is a (largely) pwp that sprang from an idea that wouldn't fit into my other wips, and now I'm kinda laughing because of this sequence of tags:

Only once: Who are we saying is captain right now? - not just my only fic with this ship (Roach/Stede/Ed aka Roasted) but the only one in the whole fandom (go read it!) ✌️ won't say I'll never write it again though because I really enjoyed the dynamic of Ed and Stede as an established couple and then adding a third 🤸

Favorite fic in biggest fandom: so to be honest I want to answer my (longest) unpublished wip (Five birthdays and a funeral) because I keep re-reading it (often instead of writing it 💀) but for the sake of this game I will say Something timeless going on, a canon-divergent fic (and my first multi-chapter fic) where Ed and Stede meet in their 20's and become friends with benefits. I love the pining while fucking trope what can I say

Fic I wish more people read: From gloom to grace because CUDDLE POLLEN/cuddle-or-die (I think it's a pretty unique spin on the sex pollen trope and for the love of god these men need cuddles)

Fic I agonized over the most: I feel like I simultaneously have fics springing fully formed AND agonize over writing them because my writing is a lot slower than my mind but I will say Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe simply because I kept getting more ideas and had to add them and it just kept going (I also made weed graphs because I am first and foremost a nerd). it's one of my favs though, I love 70s glam rock star Ed and groupie Stede <3

Fic that sprang fully formed: see above but Overcompensation came to me really easily!

Fic I'm proud of: (again I really wanna say my longest wip but) I'm proud of Matching spark and flame because it was for my first (reverse) big bang event ever and I managed to complete it before the initially planned deadline (also I have the honor of having a featured chat about this on saturday in the ofmd fic club discord!! please come hang out 💗🤸)

tagging with no pressure(!!) @petrichorca @zombee @xoxoemynn @trans-top-stede @oatmilktruther (if you've already done it just ignore (or link me maybe 🥺💗)) and anyone else who wants to!!

Fourth Year Anniversary!

Today is my fourth anniversary as a KakaIru creator! Normally, I share a bunch of statistics; but this time, I’d like to reflect on the past year, and some of the things I have planned for the future, instead.

Firstly, I don’t think I have created as much this year as the other years, as a lot has happened irl; and a good chunk of my writing time was taken away because I just got so overwhelmed with life, and I found it hard to think.

It’s sad, because I absolutely love writing, and have so many ideas that I want to get out there; but I just couldn’t manage it as much as I wanted to.

I am proud to say, though, that I managed to write 25 fics, with a total word count of 121 926 words (having calculated that just now, I’m actually impressed I wrote so much – I wasn’t really expecting to reach over 100k!)!

Out of all of the new fics, I think my favourite one is my WIP, Linked (CW: NSFW & some dark chapters), which is the fic I wanted to write to celebrate reaching a milestone of 100 fics on ao3, where I got people to tell me what they wanted me to write.

You guys gave me so many suggestions with characters and tropes that you liked; and I was excited to challenge myself by including all of the tied number one votes, rather than choosing just one/ doing a revote.

Sadly, I haven’t finished it yet, and have only done 19/28 chapters (approx. 45.4k words); but that brings me to my future plans.

I really love the story so far, of Kakashi and Iruka being handcuffed together and having to figure out how to free themselves, as well as everything else I have planned for it; and I am going to pick up on it again, and aim to have it complete before my next anniversary (but hopefully even earlier!).

I also want to finish another WIP I suddenly stopped after 14/23 chapters (approx. 19.8k words), The Rift (CW: Dark), which I started in the first KakaIru Maze Challenge I ran, Into The Ancient World. I had gotten the prompt ‘Afterlife’; and started a story about Kakashi dying, and trying to find his way back home, while Iruka stays by his side at the hospital.

It’s an idea I’ve had since I was a kid, but I could never settle on the characters I wanted, and had never finished any stories at the time, so it was just something I daydreamed about; but I have grown as a writer since then, and want to finally turn the dream into a reality, and share it with everyone!

There is one more main project that I’ll be working on this year, too; but it is massive, and I can’t say when I’ll finish it. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure, combined with an otome game; and Iruka, who will be the main character, can end up with one of four ships, depending on the choices he makes throughout the story 👀

I have planned it out entirely, and just need to finish writing it out; but with the amount of options I’ve added throughout the fic (over 100, if I remember correctly), there is going to be a lot of writing to do (I’d say at least 80k words), so, as much as I want to finish & share it, I probably won’t be able to do that this year. But it is something I’m very excited about!

Those are the main things I want to focus on, but I will more than likely write other fics when I get inspired, and/or add to some of my series; especially Family Adventures, which is my dad kakairu series featuring Kaito, their genius son, and In A Land Far, Far Away, my Star Wars AU where Kakashi gives refugees Iruka & Naruto the life they deserve ❤️

That’s all for now. Thank you guys for all your support so far! I really appreciate all the kudos, likes, and reblogs; and every single comment I get really puts a smile on my face, and makes my day ❤️💕

I look forward to spending another year with you!

WIP tag

Thanks for the tag @takearisk-ao3 Y'all gotta keep tagging me in this kind of stuff cause it really lights a fire under my butt to write.

Rules:

List the titles your top five priorities for WIP updates (link your fics for new readers!) An upcoming scene, event, or detail in each fic that you’re looking forward to writing Bonus: make a poll for your followers to vote on which top 5 WIP they are most excited to see an update on! Then tag 10 writer friends!

Top 5 priorities for WIPs Well. Hmm. This may depend on the way one defines Work in Progress. Partly this is due to me not starting to post a fic (multichapter, specifically) until the first draft is done, and I'm done editing enough chapters to stay ahead of the curve. I made this decision some time back; far too much time for my taste elapsed between Proposals Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.

That said, the work I'm currently posting is Mystic Dream. I posted Chapter 15 yesterday (1 March), and this is a bit past the numerical halfway point. It's a crossover: Ginny and Harry Potter are on a quiet bus-man's holiday with the boys off to Hogwarts and their daughter staying with her grandparents. She's interviewing American magical athletes for a book she's working on, he's attending an International Law Enforcement conference (with a magical, secret track). What could go wrong? Obviously, something, and since there's a dead American sailor involved, so is Special Agent In Charge Leroy Jethro Gibbs of NCIS. The question is, post a snippet, or a link, or both? It's a WiP in this sense; it's finished (or mostly, minor edits may or might not be happening), and I'm posting one chapter a week.

Snippet, I think. After all, I linked to the fic in the Posting Friday post. In this chapter, they are at a formal dinner-dancing event, and Harry's just asked Ginny how she likes her dinner selection:

She shrugged, ‘It’s good. Not sure Mum would approve of it, but then she doesn’t cook many Italian dishes.’ She winked at him. ‘Doesn’t match your lasagna.’

‘Mr. Potter cooks?’ Bishop blanched slightly at the surprise in her voice, particularly when Patil, Mags, and Gary all exclaimed.

‘His breakfasts are to die for,’ Mags exclaimed, curved fingers touching her lips in a chef’s kiss.

‘He’s surprisingly good at barbecue as well,’ added Patil. Gary chuckled at the expression on Bishop’s face.

‘I can make a passable meal, but Harry’s the cook in our family. You should hear our children complain when he’s home but I make dinner,’ Ginny laughed. Bishop looked at Harry, who shrugged.

‘Benefit of a misspent youth, I suppose,’ he said, grinning, then attacked his steak and kidney pie.

Now, for other priorities, if you call plotting and researching (plus all the other bits and pieces involved in writing) as Work in Progress, I've got three others I'm working on.

Skyclad: I hinted at this one in a later chapter of Dreaming a Life, when Luna visits the Potters at their home in Wales. Luna and Rolf decided it's finally time (what with twins and all) to formally declare their relationship. And, Luna being Luna, it's happening on actual Midsommer's Day, in a very traditional ceremony, that requires a very specific dress code. Or, would it be more accurate to say, undress code…

It's mostly notes so far. Here's a paragraph that is written:

If someone flying a small, private airplane at no great altitude along the western shoreline of Cymyran Bay, even being attentive to their surroundings so as not to collide with either other airplanes or birds, they might well see a small family step out of their brick cottage. They might see a very pretty woman walking with a toddler, both of them with fiery red hair that rivaled the lowering sun. Behind her might be walking a russet-haired boy, waving some toy (possibly a spaceship?) through the air as he walked. And not far behind them, a handsome man with another, younger boy, both of them with a shock of messy raven-black hair. All of them appeared to be wearing dressing gowns. This might bring the pilot of this airplane to presume the smaller building they walked towards, which resembled some far-eastern house or pavilion, to be a bath house.

A Scene I'm looking forward to writing for this one:

Well, I don't want to spoiler too much. There are two. The scene when Harry discovers exactly what the dress code is. And the scene after the ceremony, when Ginny gets to point out to him that yes, once again, she's right.

The next one is Loving Vigil:

Still quite newlyweds, Ginny's busy with the Harpies and Harry's on limited duty after a run-in on a mission with Kedavra Hornets. So he's charged by both Gawain Robards Head Auror, and Kingsley Shacklebolt Minister of Magic, to oversee the training of a new Corps for the Aurors. Field Healer Corps. He doesn't need to teach the Healing parts, because Minister Shacklebolt arranged for an expert in that to help, Gary Gillies, RCMP (Royal Canadian Magical Police) Field Healer. Here's the start:

In a world known for people accepting some rather outlandish clothing, he stood out like a sore thumb.

He strode out of the floo absolutely unphased by the spinning effects of the travel, the heels of the knee-high brown boots (so highly polished they reflected the aged oak floor of the Ministry Atrium) tapping a drum-like cadence as he marched towards the Security Check-in, silver un-rowled spurs flashing in the morning light. Midnight blue breeches flared wide above those boots, a yellow stripe running up the outside of both legs. His scarlet red serge tunic robe caught a number of eyes, all shiny brass buttons and gold badges at the corners of the high collar. Only a few individuals spotted the badges on both epaulettes; a crown over a caduceus. He nodded a friendly greeting to those that caught his eyes, even with his quite businesslike demeanor.

There are a few scenes in this one I'm looking forward to writing, including when Harry brings his new associate and his partner/wife along to Ginny's first birthday party after they've tied the knot.

Third,

Kreacher: He's one of my favorite characters, one that truly does have a redemption arc in canon. When Harry promises to do what Kreacher could not and complete his beloved Master Regulus' last order to destroy the Evil Locket, when he gifts Kreacher the decoy locket, Kreacher finds he can truly respect this new Master. What Kreacher never expected (since the need never arose in his long lifetime in service to the House of Black), is his Master ordering Kreacher to teach Master about the ins and outs of Magical Society that Hogwarts doesn't teach. It's a difficult assignment, someone has to do it, and Kreacher's been ordered to do so.

I'm still outlining the Professor Kreacher stories, but you can see Kreacher featuring in six of my stories, stipulating that one of those is a crossover AU. This still means in five of them, this lovable curmudgeon plays some part in moving things along. In Eloped - Sort Of I wrote his first appearance, and hinted at much more to come.

Kreacher looked around as the Colours in the walls began to glow a tad brighter. “Seven generations of the House of Black Kreacher served, and now the first of Potter-Black.” Stretching a bit to ease the aches in his joints, brought on no doubt by the day of rain, the thought that with a bit of luck he would see the next generation arrive for him to serve warmed his bones. He resumed his walk to his room, looking at the portraits with which Master Harry had replaced the heads of the previous House Elves of the House of Black. He nodded to himself, pleased that Master found a means to honor the service of Kreacher's predecessors. It seemed odd, perhaps, that Master did not like being called that, but Sir sufficed to show proper respect for the Head of House. “Kreacher has served the Dead long enough. It feels good to serve Life again.”

Scene I'm looking forward to writing? Kreacher's reaction when ordered by Harry to teach him. There's just so much opportunity for a House Elf to dread needing to correct, and therefore offend his Master of the House.

Sorry, no poll. I'm not particularly enamored of them.

Tags: Right, here are some (maybe not the required number) @ginnyw-potter (because you tagged me too), @takearisk-ao3 @whinlatter @johnmchacker @nuninho2000 @rmwb-fanfics

Hi, Minor Blog & Fic Updates

If you don't want to read this today, consider checking out my pinned post when you can, and/or just read the ScarletPenguin section at bottom for transparency

---

📌 Made a minor update to my pinned post; I removed the spreadsheet link since my buffer's running low and it'll be one less thing to worry about while I play catch-up. Also added a permanent ask game, mostly to give visitors / new followers a way to break the ice if they want to. I'll also add a link to this post to the pinned one.

🦷 I've moved my one Coco 'fic (That 4k contest entry I wrote September 2018) to the Anonymous collection. If you would still like the AO3 link, it's here (River Teeth). It's also currently available on my FFN.

🐶 Dog's Life Chapter 9 goes up on Tuesday, then Chapter 10 goes up on October 3rd. That's the last chapter of Session 1 and the 'fic will be on hiatus while I build the Session 2 buffer.

🎃 I expect to post a lot of short pieces in October; I'm giving myself a (tentative) monthly challenge so I can get rid of a bunch of WIPs without holding onto them for a year. Not committing to a full 31 days, but I've got a lot of little things that don't need to be masterpieces, so it should be a busy month. I'll probably do one announcement post each Friday instead of individual story announcements. Still very much playing this by ear and I might get busy IRL, but expect at least a few things.

I had a plan to post something Anti-Fairy related for Friday the 13th in October, but it's not playing nice with me so we'll see.

✍️ After October, I need to spend time rebuilding my 'fic buffers. I'd also like to update my table of contents tab and possibly the sideblog. In other words, expect a busy October for 'fic updates. November will probably be Traffic Season 5 drabbles and stuff (I'm guessing), and then we'll start winding down on 'fics during December and January. I'll probably post again in Feb or March; not sure yet.

🐾 A ton of Session 1 stuff I wrote for Dog's Life got bumped to Session 2 for pacing reasons, so I already have a lot done; I might start posting Session 2 as early as mid-November or early December, but stuff for Origin and Knots definitely needs polishing and will take longer. Not sure yet.

---

❤️ 2 months ago, I made a post talking about my ScarletPenguin pseud. That's the pseud where I keep any M works, and I wanted to explain how this works to people who may be unfamiliar (as I have a piece I'm working on that I'll probably post as M).

The majority of my content is Gen or T, so I'm using the pseud to keep my M stuff in a separate place [i.e. not immediately visible to people browsing my main page, because I mostly do children's show fanfics that ARE Gen and T, and I just feel better doing it like this].

In other words, if you would like to scroll through my works but would prefer not to run across anything M, THIS is the link that only has Gen and T stuff [It's the FountainPenguin pseud link; you can also access it by clicking on my username on any of my AO3 works]. You will not see M 'fics if you use this link :)

I have not yet decided if I'm going to do announcement posts for M stories. If I do, the posts will be tagged #ScarletPenguin, so I recommend blocking that tag now if you would like to.

If you would like to find any M works after they're posted, you can access them by going to FountainPenguin's Profile -> Pseuds -> ScarletPenguin (left sidebar on desktop).

If you are subscribed to me on AO3, I'm pretty sure you'll get an email when any new stuff is posted. If you do not want to subscribe to me as a user, consider subscribing only to the 'fics you like or even to a series (ex: all the 130 Prompts are in the 130 Station series and you can get email notifs that way even though all those stories are posted individually).

I'm trying to post 130 Prompts in the 130 Station series before any others because I suspect that only the first series counts for the email alerts (Not sure). However, you can also subscribe to the individual trains if you like (Blue Train, for example, only contains Anti-Fairy content so maybe you're into that, etc.) I'm just not sure if you'll get an email since if you want to put a work in more than one series, you have to post the story and then edit it, and I'm not sure if that sends a notification.

I also don't know if you can have a series with two pseuds in it, or how that will affects the tag visibility on the series page. We'll see.

tl;dr - I feel good about having done my part to make this news accessible, create a blog tag for it just in case, and this info will be added to my pinned post when I wake up [This is in the queue]. Stay safe, safe comfy!

Thanks!

Long-fic writing

LINK: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37474960

This is my first "serious" long fic, and MAN is it way more work than I planned on it being. (serious is in quotes because I've made long fics before (that I've then abandoned), and this is the first one that I've actually continued to either write, think about, or plan) I originally started writing it because I had posted a ton of prompts on AO3 (didn't know you couldn't do that until later on) and no one was using them, especially the one for my now WIP fic. It was a long prompt with tons of ideas, so I decided to start writing it in a casual way. BOY OH BOY did it NOT stay casual.

I have only posted 6 chapters so far on AO3, totaling up to around 12106 words according to the site (no clue if that counts A/Ns or not, I assume not). My doc with my writing that I copy and paste from has 13537 words, plus my comments to the side adding 407. My original prompt (that I have continued to add to) has 2032. My outline to chapter 25 has 5518, plus comments adds 49 words. My chapter by chapter supply list (that I'm still making. and is why I haven't updated. there were some SEVERE inconsistencies, so I have to finish the list so I can update the published fic, and then continue writing the next chapter. If I hadn't, due to messed up math, they would have died before chapter 5 ahahahahahaha whoops) has 558 words, plus 7 in comments. And last but not least, my deleted scenes, OSs, deleted A/N's plus extra info doc, adds up to 876 words.

So, in total, I have written:

12106+1431+407+2032+5518+49+558+7+876=22984

Which is, comparatively, a small number. But I'm only on chapter 6. And most of that is typed up research and extra info, and doesn't count in the hours spent doing math, googling, referencing, and editing everything I've written.

This post is mostly a progress tracker for me, since I don't know of any website that does it exactly how I want, including NaNo. My main goal with all of my fics that are multichapter is for each chapter to have at bare minimum 1000 words, actual minimum goal 2000 words. Currently, I'm hitting that, though for a few chapters that missed the mark, I'm averaging with the AO3 word count stats.

I haven't updated in over a year, but I'm hoping I will soon. Engagement with this post would be nice, but not necessary. I'm almost done procrastinating on the supply list, and will (fingers crossed, knock on wood, et cetera) hopefully be finishing writing chapter 7 and updating soon! Wish me luck!

Asks: 5, 6, 8, 19, 29.

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

ohhh i don't like to close the door on anything forever BUT the first thing i ever wanted to write for robotter came about during worlds in 2021. i outlined the whole tournament while it was going down & while i started storyboarding certain scenes during that time, i don't think that first iteration will see the light of day. like for one thing i have since super changed how i write robo, who was the pov character in that. i will never give up shouting out latvia in my fic & i'm sure at some point i will write a latvia worlds timestamp, but that first fic idea is doa.

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

i reread everything!! i am a serial re-reader!!! i am also so sad that ao3 is down so i can't do my usual excessively cited sources. eta after going through my downloaded fics on the books app & getting titles and authors names, if not links: þæt wæs god hláford by chevalric, michigan's in the rearview by aliquis, later's better than never by canary, odour by coffeehound91 (more recent, but super good!!), quarters halves and wholes by ladyeggplant.

8. What project(s) are you currently working on?

i just sent in my small fic for @inrareformfest late late last night, and i'm currently wrapping up my second Big Project for @notacowfest. i'm also looking over my outline & worldbuilding notes for my hbb fic so i can get that going as soon as my starsfest fic is done!! other than that: i'm slowly working on a tydel/otter fic that'll probably serve as a backdoor pilot to some eventual dellyotterkennedi throuple fic, + working on my outlines for a robotter bachelor au & an outline for a robotter fic that i expected to do for the starsfest & then realized i had too much to say to be able to get it in under the deadline w my other fills. my baseball au & timeloop fic + a robotter romcom longfic idea are the Big Outlines i've been workshopping for a couple months now, and i'm sure one of those will come up in the queue after my hbb fic w some <10k fic coming in throughout the rest of those ideas.

19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.

[frantically looking for a recent snippet from something that isn't for an imminent fest] OKAY ...... woe .......... trevorjamie supernatural perpetual wip be upon ye

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Otter huffed out a little laugh over the line, but he still sounded more annoyed than amused. The part of Jason that was, despite himself, governed a little bit by alpha instincts ached for him. Jason tried to remind himself not to ache, but that didn't do anything. Otter wasn't here in the hotel with Jason anyway. What he couldn't scent couldn't hurt them. “I haven’t thought about kids, period, this much before. It sucks.” Jason rolled his head on his pillow to look over at his phone, where he could hear Otter sigh over speaker. It was a good reminder, he guessed. Jason might’ve been annoyed that what was happening to Otter was rushing the pace of their relationship — even if they’d both seemed to agree to pretend they couldn’t read between the lines of what they meant to each other. But Otter had space to be a lot more annoyed at this rushing; it was his body turning on him, making all these too-soon conversations crop up when they weren't even close enough to let their scents do all the talking. Jason dropped the attempted levity. , “I haven't either," he said, then added, maybe a little too honestly, "But, uh — I'm here to talk to you whenever you are thinking about them." "Oh yeah?" He could hear a shift in Otter's tone. All wry and breathless, like he was somewhere between touched and aroused. It hit Jason in the part of him that wasn't governed by alpha instincts but was, despite itself, governed a little by Otter. "Yeah, man," he said. "I always want you to come to me when you're feeling big stuff. That's … that's what we're here for, to each other."

a snippet i ended up cutting from if i could sink my teeth into you!

updates [03/13/2023];

hello everyone!

apologies from the get go, for my silence. i know that this blog is pretty much run on a queue of various quotes / prompts / writing things / etc., and not even many people following... but to those that are here, following because you enjoy my work, i wanted to provide an update on what's going on with everything:

[to save on space, everything is below the cut. TL;DR also below the cut.]

chasing down the gods ⇨

the update is much, much later than i had previously promised. this is due to some things that happened offline, and threw my mind [and - generally - everything] into a bit of chaos. it's been hard to find inspiration, so i was giving myself some breathing space. my hope and goal is to get the chapter done this week, since the following one is already completed. i had considered posting that, but i don't want to time-skip quite yet. i don't think it's fair to all of you who have stuck with me for... 8 years, if my math is semi correct. in the interim, i actually made this fun page for it [link also in the sidebar/drop down titled "check the page"]! my hope is to make one for every work i've posted / am working on [aka, WIPs and completed]. feel free to check it out! i hope you all like it [it's dark mode, and should be mobile friendly-ish].

now, speaking of WIPs...

untitled gd fic ⇨

if you check this blog's homepage much [i will not blame you if you don't], you will have noticed a new work was put under the right sidebar [dropdown menu on mobile]. this was titled "untitled gd fic," and i am happy to announce that i am ready to reveal some first insights! as with cdtg, a WIP page has been made. as much as I would love to share it, due to a title being... not there, the url is a bit choppy. so, to make it up a bit, here's a photo so you all can have a sneak preview:

a couple notes:

this will be multichapter

this will be close to complete / mostly completed prior to uploading beginning

current ETA for uploads starting is may 2023 [forgoing more unforeseen life issues]

none of the bigger "archive warnings" for AO3 will apply [i.e. no non-con / major character death / etc.]* * only exception might be gore, but the plan is to not have extreme graphic details. think more criminal minds prior to it going to paramount+ and thus being able to show more.

when we are in april, my hope is to have the page itself available for everyone to check out. i am hoping to use these across the board

anything else ⇨

as said, these pages will be made for every fic. so, that includes mending bones and packed lunches and misplaced mistletoes. i will be putting links to these... somewhere. i have not gotten that far in my thought process. but, this allots a bit of time to actually work on things for this blog / towards my muse and writing inspiration, rather than just sitting and waiting.

one more thing [almost posted without mentioning this]: i will be linking to my main blog for a fic rec list. there, you'll find fics i've read and recommend for various fandoms. they were basically all wlw, but i don't know what else anyone would expect from me here. i will link both the mobile friendly edition, and the desktop version. i tend to prefer the desktop, but i know that tumblr mobile has become a lot more popular than when i first started here. i will note: i need to update it [has not been updated since... early february, i believe], but if you want something to read, check it out! my blog will also have a book rec page up eventually. that one takes a lot longer since that library is also expansive. if you want to go ahead and see recs now in the interim, here's the link to my blog's page with the direct links to said pages.

that's it though! i know i wrote a lot here, so:

TL;DR:

cdtg update will come as soon as life stops being messy + a fun WIP page

a new fic for a new fandom coming soon to a theater near you

pages for all previously completed works [aka all two of them] will be added to the blog very soon.

feel free to reach out, if you want to chat or anything. tumblr notifications are wonky as heck - but i will reply as swiftly as i can. hopefully i can do these kinds of updates biweekly / monthly. those of you here for the fic and the quotes, let me know if that sounds good to you.

much love - C

Selene darling! Hello! Sorry if it's a little bit of last minute in joining ur celebration! It's still the 25th here.. 🤭

Congratulation on ur 1700 followers! You deserved every single appreciations n recognition u can get!

So...

- complimentary please..

- quotation cited please..

- reading pleasure..

Well for this one, since i barely have time to read lately, and i always love ur comment reblog, i will post links 2 of my series. 😁

Ten Days (W.M) and since u love Nat, I hope u like this one as well This One Is Mine (N.R) . Happy reading!

- king questionaire

I really love ur moodboards, do u use any apps to make ur moodboards? Also, how do u manage to write many fics so fast.. i need some advice for that as im getting so behind with my WIPs 😩

Also, i couldnt find the chess emoji that u use for the choices i picked. 😁

Talk to u soon, my dear! Once again, congratz!

Cheerio!

this is gonna be a long ass answer so buckle on

first of all I have added your fics to my tbr (to be read) list so soon enough I will no worries

the link to the symbols is here, is a site that has all these cute ass symbols and I like using them, they're quite fun

- complimentary please..

you are very talkative, and friendly and warm to open up too, you don't seem to be concerned with fandom issues just vibes and fics and I really appreciate that in a person, you are a fun person and you're giving me incredible vibes that we could hang out together, also I really admire the fact you got a family and still write fics it makes me so happy you have no idea, now as for your writing I cannot believe how good you write angst, and not just the mild kind the gut-wrenching one I literally could never, your writing is good, like legit good, and you always always weave stories that are complete and full and full of life and details

- quotation cited please..

'Your eyes linger, you could stare at her beautiful frame for eternity. Evidently, you could have waited forever for a glance, a touch, something, anything that would validate your feelings. She takes your hand, holds it close to her, and squeezes it. All thoughts and feelings blur into one when you hear her next words.

"I love you too."' from my natasha fic, infatuation

- reading pleasure..

I feel like you literally know all the wanda nat fandom, who else could you be missing? so I'm giving you this hot natasha fic I recently read

- king questionaire

I use pinterest, pixabay and google to find the images then I use the app april to bring them together, it features layouts and some filters and those beautiful letters i use for my masterlists and they all come together like this, i just play around and try to stick to a color theme i think. usually i do have a vision before i start so i also try not to waste too much time scrolling and if i do i just force myself to switch ideas

and as for the fics I have no idea!!!!! I try to keep them short, I do try and usually succeed, I do have a lot of free time on my days off and I like having a schedule of doing things so I keep like an hour free for just writing and sometimes i succeed other times I don't (in writing something) now I also do stress writing where i in bus stops, streets corners or things alike i will force myself to sit down and write something as to not focus too much on the problem/thing that's out of control you know so it all contributes to my obsessive nature, if i decide that i need to finish something i will finish the fic, wrap it up somehow put a bow on it and conlude it, maybe they are not that good or could use more work but i am definetely done with them asokdjaksjdlka

thank you so much for your kind words and I'm glad I met you here :)

Fic writer game

Thank you @ladyoxymoron for tagging me :D

Fandoms: There’s an extensive exposition here but right at this moment I’m mostly reading/writing Shadowhunters and The Untamed.

Number of fics: 122 posted on ao3, ~25 posted on ff.de and a bunch of finished but not posted stuff on my lappy (mostly German Sherlock fic). A fair amount of the posted stuff is drabbles and almost all is oneshots though ;)

Fic I spent more time on: I don’t have a good answer for this one. The longer the fic, the more time it takes? The time required to get a fic done honestly depends more on my state of mind than the fic itself. Some days it flows smoothly, some days every word is agony. I’ve experienced both of these while writing the same fic, so yeah.

Fic I spent less time on: Uh, drabbles I guess? They don’t require much agonizing over word choices to achieve a fancy writing style, and I’ve become pretty got at getting the word count right, sooo.

Longest fic: - Posted to ao3: blood and dirt (25k). - Posted to ff.de: Harry Potter und die Werhamster (36k). - Not posted at all: [Dramatic unfinished Draco/Astoria romance with no name] (60k) (2011!ralf was so ambitious! Can you believe it!)

Shortest: I mean, I have written several 100 word drabbles and posted them as individual fics, so take your pick XD Apart from that I have written a handful of non-drabble-fics between 100 and 200 words too.

Most hits: My Dumb Drabbles collection (though I feel like that doesn’t count because it’s about the only thing I frequently update when almost everything else is a oneshot). Second in line is the planes of you.

Most kudos: the eye of the beholder (which I’m pretty glad about since for the longest time it was ‘the planes of you’ and while I don’t dislike that fic it never struck me as anything that special either? I really like the other one though.)

Most bookmarks: the eye of the beholder (again, when did that happen, it was ‘concentration, distraction’ for the longest time)

Total words combined: 175k on archive (wtf) and uhhh around 70k on ff.de (rough estimation because the word count option on that site is abysmal)

Fic you want to rewrite or expand: Nothing, really? As you may have guessed by now the vast majority of my ideas is for oneshots. They don’t need to be expanded on, I wouldn’t even know how. And I hold a lot of nostalgic fondness for my old stuff even if it could objectively be better. I don’t feel the need to change anything about it... though I guess I wrote a prose songfic for Ed Sheeran’s ‘Firefly’ in early 2015 which was pretty horrible and would probably be better off trashed and burned XD That one could really do with a rewrite. But apart from that... nah.

Fav fic you wrote: That would be my Shadowhunters x Merlin x Doctor Who Crossover. I really like to go back and read scenes of it and who knows, maybe one day I’ll post it ;D if only I knew a single person apart from my sister and myself who cares about that specific fandom combination, lol.

Share a bit of your WIP or idea if you have anything planned: Since I have about a million WIPs, have a line from the Untamed fic I’m currently tinkering with

When Wei Wuxian gives up Suibian to Wen Chao he doesn't know that was the last time he held his blade like this. (x)

and the Shadowhunters fic I might fix up for next Saturday (though after looking through that file I’m honestly reconsidering past!ralf’s plan haha)

Clary is staring at the painting on the far wall, mouth open in a small oh. Magnus watches with dawning horror as her eyes start filling with tears. (x)

tagging: @silver-latin-and-salt and anyone else who likes to write. This was a lot of fun to do!

#personal i guess #added the link for the first wip fic since it's done now #will add the second one too once it's done :D #edit: done!#tagging game

Hey, Seblainers! Hellooooo, everyone else!

10 Days Of Seblaine 2023

One week to go, so without further ado, here's what you need to know.

The Rules

When?

The event runs from Monday, 6th November until 23:59 (of your own timezone) on Wednesday, 15th November 2023.

Who can take part?

Anyone and everyone who shares our love of Seblaine!

What can we submit?

Anything, as long as it is Seblaine-related! Fics, Graphics, Gifs, Gifsets, Videos, Manips, Playlists, Lyrics - anything you like as long as it fits the themes! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Please remember to use #seblaineworld and #10daysofseblaine2023 within the first five tags, and also put @seblaineworld somewhere in your posts, since we all know just how flaky Tumblr can be about tags!

Be sensible and considerate. We're all very well aware that not everyone shares our love of Seblaine, and even within our own tiny (but always fierce!) Seblainer Fandom, there are those who don't enjoy mature content, so please ensure you tag everything you submit, appropriately.

Can I cross-post/combine themes?

Yes! You can combine any of the themes that you want. And if your contribution does combine multiple themes, you can post on whichever day you prefer. Just remember, if your contribution covers one or more themes, then properly tag all days, regardless of which day you actually post on.

Do I need to submit something for every day?

Absolutely not. If you want to contribute something for every day, then of course you can, but it's not a requirement at all. We know everyone has busy lives, so just do what you can when you can.

Can I post a WIP or work if it fits the themes, even if I started it weeks/months/years before the 10 Days Of Seblaine 2023 announcement?

Absolutely! Your Admin has done this before and feels it's a great way to refresh creativity and blow the cobwebs off that piece you just KNOW you'll finish one day, but never quite seem to have the time. So feel free to post anything you've already started - providing it fits one of the themes!

On that note, do remember that the free day is exactly that. A day on which you can write about/create for, any theme you like! Did your favourite theme just narrowly miss out on being in the top 10? If so, here's your chance to do something about it and make a submission using that theme!

When do we start posting?

As soon as it becomes Monday 6th November in your own timezone, post your work to your Tumblr blog, and as mentioned above, please tag it #seblaineworld and #10daysofseblaine2023 then make sure those two are in your first five tags. Please also put @seblaineworld somewhere in your post.

If you're going to be posting your work to another site like AO3 or ff.net, post a properly tagged link on your Tumblr.

A 10 Days Of Seblaine collection will be added to AO3.

Can I post early?

Sorry, no. 🙃 Tumblr, however, does let you schedule posts so you can schedule the post for the right day, even if you're not going to be around that day. Of course this gets a little harder to navigate if you’re also posting to another site like AO3/ff.net, so if this is going to be a problem, let me know and I'll figure it out.

Can I post late?

Now for the good news - yes! I know how time can occasionally run away from us all, so as long as everything is tagged properly you can post (for example) your day 3 piece on day 7 and that won't be a problem. Everything posted will be reblogged until Friday, November 24th.

You haven't reblogged my work yet!

No problem! Again, because Tumblr can be (very!) erratic, just send me an Ask or message if I haven't reblogged your work within 24 hours of you posting it, and I will get onto it right away.

So, that's it for now! I'm excited to see all your work, and hope you'll join me for this bumper celebration of Seblaine on Monday 6th November. Just drop me an Ask or message if you have a question that's not been addressed here, and I'll see you all a week today!

Ail 💜

#seblaine #sebastian smythe #blaine anderson #seblainer events #10daysofseblaine2023 #signal boost #please share and reblog #seblaineworld

Tommyinnit Fan Art Archive!

profile picture by bounckery twitter.tumblr

unofficial fanart-blog for @tubbosfriend

Ok first let's lay out some ground rules:

- NO pro-shippers, NSFW, truthers, or leak-blogs of any kind. If I find out that you are any of these or knowingly interact with people who are any of these that is a hard block from this blog.

- IRL shippers are often not welcome. I understand there are certain CCs that are fine with shipping, or even encourage it, but under no circumstances is boundary breaking shipping allowed to be connected to this blog.

If you see that I am following an artist or reblogged from an artist who is any of these or willingly interacts with anyone who are any of these; PLEASE tell me privately. This can be done through either DMs or a non-anon ask. There MUST be proof added, no "dude trust me."

ALRIGHT! Now onto the good stuff.

Welcome to the tommyinnit fanart archive!

I created this blog to satiate that part of my brain that still feels grief over the Library of Alexandria and that's what I hope to achieve! There’s only one person running this blog and school is starting up again so pardon if submission/ask answers come slowly!

This blog will be almost entirely focused on drawn artworks such as drawings/paintings, animatics, comics, or drawn poetry. You are able to request fan-fics to be added to the archive, however there is no guarantee it will be added if it’s linked to an external website like AO3

Alternate Universe*, crossovers, duo/trios/groups, SMPs, character, and content creator art will all show up here. If the art is part of an ongoing series I will reblog its introduction/explanatory post, and if that is unavailable I’ll reblog its first installment.

*AUs also includes work based off of fan-fiction

If you’ve noticed your art was reblogged to the archive and you wish it hadn’t been, 100% tell me and I’ll remove it as soon as I am able. Every reblog runs on a queue system so if I’ve reblogged one of your artworks there’s a high likelihood I’ve already queued more

Tagging system and rules for submission under the cut!:

Tagging!:

Duos currently being tagged: clingy duo(tubbo), allium duo(ranboo), crime boys(wilbur soot), bedrock bros(technoblade), vice duo(quackity), hotel duo(awesamdude)

Groups/trios currently being tagged: bench trio(ranboo+tubbo) sleepy bois inc.(philza+wilbur soot+technoblade) business boys (timedeo+lukeorsomething+bitzel+wispexe)

All groups will have the suffix "(group)", while duos will have a suffix indicating character or content creator, "(c)" or "(cc)" Example: ballstrio(group), bastardduo(c). (Events such as MCC, MCM, or TwitchRivals will look like "[title](event).")

TW's and CW's*: blood, death, suicide, abuse*, spiders, dissociation/derealization/depersonalization, head injury.

*Every post you are able to request a CW/TW tag for, even if it's not on this list. This is especially true since I may forget to tag something often. With abuse in particular I may not recognize when something can be triggering since it is such a large part of dsmp!tommy's character, and is portrayed in many different ways in art.

On submitting artwork to be reblogged:

1.) You’re allowed to submit your own work, however it cannot be directly sent through an ask or submission. It has to be linked to a separate post. When requesting art for another artist you cannot request WIPs, sketches, or doodles. However you can request those for your own work.

2.) If you want to submit or request artwork to be reblogged, DO NOT @ me in it. Please send it through an ask or submission with a link attached. This is so that all requests can be limited to a single, easy to manage place.

3.) A submission request has to be for a tumblr post. I do not want any external links to artwork on other websites like AO3, Instagram, Twitter, etc. This is because there is no guarantee of that external post staying up which undermines the purpose of this archive, and I refuse to repost any artwork, or have any artist’s work be added to the archive without their knowledge.

4.) ABSOLUTELY, request art from a deleted post/deactivated blog. Those are absolute diamonds here

And I think that’s everything, have a good day everybody!

Aggressively WIP Wednesday 😁

Okay, so I actually think I need help. Maybe an opinion if you have a minute! I was working on a minific and even did a WIP Wed of this almost a year ago hahaha (oops talk about neglect) but I’m now rewriting what I had of it and I just don’t know if it’s coming out okay or if it’s too hard to read/follow, or too boring. Ugh. I haven’t been this confused about the beginning of a WIP in a long time, so I’m turning to my favorite creative day of the week for help.

In terms of the plot, Zelda met a group of friends in Hyrule Warriors, which is an MMORPG (online multiplayer game). Shocker, it’s the Champions. So she befriends Link the most because of course she would. But the way it’s written is sometimes like game chats, so like I said, idk if it’s in dire need of reworking or anything.

I’d say this fic will be rated M. And the online assholes in this fic are 100% real, but reworded so you can’t find the OG tweets despite it still making me bitter to this day because a few of us were bombarded on Twitter for answering a survey asking what we wanted added, and we asked for an option for female characters to a class. Nope; not me being bitter.

This WIP is 4000+ words because honestly, I’m in panic mode about it for some reason, so have a chunk of content from it today lol

The Elysian Fields were lush and green; wisps of wafting clouds scattering across the grassy flower patches. Zelda looked around, admiring the beauty. It was one of her favorite activities: running around and just looking at everything. The sights, the sounds. It was all crafted to perfection.

She watched her robe billow in the breeze, even while she stood completely still, the leaves moving, the water rippling. Bugs and birds flew. Fireflies of amber darted around.

Idling, she yawned. It was peaceful. Who could really blame her?

Perhaps her one complaint was the ridiculous outfit she was wearing. While it looked stunning, emblazoned with gems and strapless, a long train and a short front, lace sleeves that blew around her, even a deep dipped neckline that plunged halfway down her chest, it was highly impractical.

How was anyone, even a magic user like herself, meant to fight monsters in such a stupid ensemble?

Her knight was late, and Zelda was getting impatient. Soon, she’d trek off on her own. For a while, she played with her water magic, letting her specialty rain down an epic display all for herself.

She had to loot some sapphires off the blue poe spirits. It was the only thing she needed to enchant her long staff. And if that stupid knight didn’t get here soon…

WildKnightOut2: hey srry I’m late. Fuzzball needed to be fed the soft food

WildKnightOut2: Gods forbid I give him hard food. Spoiled brat

xPrincessZx: No problem. I’m in Elysian Fields.

xPrincessZx: PS-Duchess never gives me a hard time with her food

WildKnightOut2: I already know you have a perfect cat no need to rub it in

A Hylian warrior ran up to her and bowed, floppy green hat plopping around, clipping through his green tunic and chainmail. His blue and silver Hylian Shield sparkled from his back, hiding some of the rare weapons he carried.

Zelda sat back in her computer chair and chuckled at the screen. Wild always bowed to her, ever since they first met while playing Hyrule Warriors.

She’d been minding her own business at a merchant in Castle Town when his little Hylian had run straight up to her and bowed. Though it was cute because of her character name, she didn’t understand until a message pinged in the bottom left of her screen.

(PM): WildKnightOut2: Hey Princess

(PM): xPrincessZx: Hello?

(PM): WildKnightOut2: Jst wondering if u have a spare flower crown from yesterday’s festival. Missed it. Will pay

Zelda pulled up her inventory, forgetting she was still wearing her flower crown from the Flower Fest. It must have been what tipped him off. In fact, she had four spares.

(PM): zPrincessZx: Yeah, I do. Come to the chest and I’ll trade.

(PM): WildKnightOut2: Thx

She’d never done a trade with anyone who wasn’t in her guild, so she’d felt nervous running to grab it.

(PM): WildKnightOut2: How much u want?

(PM): xPrincessZx: Actually, I’ll give it to you free if you’re willing to help me with a quest? Or 10k.

WildKnightOut2 would like to join your party.

She accepted and watched his character appear in the corner of her screen.

WildKnightOut2: That’s a rip off, btw. Crowns are with 15k at least. Don’t undersell

xPrincessZx: Thanks. I didn’t realize. I’m still kind of new.

WildKnightOut2: Howd u get out here then?

xPrincessZx: I had a run from a friend in my guild.

WildKnightOut2: Got room for a warrior in there?

Of course, that was months ago. Now, she expected such a gesture. He was the one in the guild she’d clicked with the most. Though there were four others who made up the marvelous group, The Champions, Zelda found the most in common with Wild.

Though… she didn’t know his real name. She didn’t know any of their real names. Not their voices, or their faces. All she had was a character, and that character’s appearance.

To her, Wild was a short, blonde, muscular, handsome knight in shining armor (literally at times), with brilliant blue eyes and a ridiculous elf-like costume. Not that her costume was much better. And gods, that plunge dress was what he had to use to visualize her.

Zelda looked down at her real clothes: pajama bottoms that she’d thrown on the second she’d gotten home from work, and the mis-matched brown cardigan she’d worn all day that was too comfortable to take off. The thick glasses on her face were hardly a match for the glass orbs that floated around her character. Though she’d made hers as close to her real self as she could, she felt her character beat her by leaps and bounds.

It was easy with Wild. He was a Hylian. The others?

RockRoast12345 was a rock-like goron warrior with a Warhammer who packed a serious punch as the guild’s tank. He soaked up all as much damage as he could, and Rock’s build was strategically planned to redirect all that damage right back to enemies. He was perfection, aggroing all the enemies to him, shielding the group so they could do their own damage.

It helped that Rutella Zoran IV was one of the most skilled clerics in the game. A red Zora—and clearly not what she looked like in real life—who curiously wielded a spear rather than a staff, she’d joined the guild when the NPC healers were so useless that they had to succumb and call for a new member. Her healing skills were maxed out, and her attention to stats was something that Zelda could never understand. She kept Rock at max health while he took the damage.

And TheBestYouveNeverMet was a blue rito. A bird. She highly doubted she was talking to a real anamorphic bird. He was a ranger with a bow, dealing attacks from the back of the group with her, ranged combat as their mutual specialty.

Finally, a Gerudo Paladin, their guild leader named ThunderstruckQueen, rounded out the group. Zelda was jealous of the purchase-only red hairstyle the Gerudo had for her character. She had a sword and shield, but her body flickered with elemental lightening magic. Paladins were the hardest class to play as because of their varying styles, but ThunderstruckQueen was unstoppable.

And together, they formed The Champions.

Most of the time, they played as a group. One of Zelda’s favorite memories had been when they’d first brought TheBest in, and he hadn’t gotten on with Wild right off the bat. She’d saved several screenshots of their chaos.

(PM): WildKnightOut2: should I aggro a group over so he has to fight them for us?

(PM): xPrincessZx: No! Don’t do that! I’ll get sent over to deal with them!

(PM): xPrincessZx: HEY! I SEE YOU ON THE MAP!

(PM): xPrincessZx: WILD GET BACK TO THE GROUP

On the mini-map, she’d seen a hoard of red coming at them and rolled her eyes before joining TheBest to kill them with area attacks. It was the easiest way that they got themselves killed in this game: self-sabotage.

Some days, they didn’t play together. Other times, only two of them were on. But on weekends, they all came together in an unstoppable force.

After a week of lesson plans, and cleaning the classrooms, and sneezing students, and emails asking for an extension on a paper that wasn’t even due yet, she relished the escape the weekend provided. Granted, she still had to grade about a hundred tests, but that was a problem for Sunday or even Monday. Tonight was Friday, and on Fridays, Wild was always on.

When it was just the two of them, they worked seamlessly.

WildKnightOut2: Okay, I’m ready. Fuzz is asleep on my foot

xPrincessZx: Aww! I wish I knew where Dutchess was

WildKnightOut2: go find her

The loading screen for the Haunted Wasteland came up, and she sighed. He’d already warped them.

“Dutch?” Zelda called, spinning around in her chair.

On cue, a fluffy, dainty white cat sauntered out from the other room with all the swagger of a true royal, head even tilted up slightly. Paws reached out in a big stretch, mouth widening in a yawn. She glanced once at Zelda, then promptly ignored her so she could sit on the back of the couch and stare out the window at traffic.

“Good chat,” Zelda muttered, turning back around to wait for the map to load.

Despite not knowing their faces or voices, she did know almost everything else about her guild members, from their families, to their jobs, and even their hobbies. She and Wild bonded over their cats almost immediately. His, a fat orange cat with an attitude towards anyone who wasn’t Wild, and who needed exercise, according to the vet. Wild had told her of a time he’d tried to leash Fuzz for a walk, but it had been a mewling mess. And she knew when Fuzz was nearby crawling over Wild’s keys, because his character would be sent running off a cliff as a long stream of senseless letters and symbols were sent to the party chat.

When her screen loaded, Wild was dancing, waiting for her.

She chuckled, especially when he ran circles around her, creating a swirl in the fog that had her smiling wider.

WildKnightOut2: ur internet sucks. Where exactly we going princess?

xPrincessZx: I need to farm for new armor out in the Haunted Wasteland’s sand dunes. Do you need to do anything?

WildKnightOut2: I need to help u farm in the haunted wasteland sand dunes. What do you need?

xPrincessZx: 10 Sapphires

WildKnightOut2: damn ok I have 2 u can have so u only need 8

xPrincessZx: You sure?

WildKnightOut2 would like to trade. Zelda pushed a piece of hair from her face and tried to hide her wide grin at his enthusiasm, as if he could see her.

xPrincessZx: Thanks. How’d that party go last night?

WildKnightOut2: Sucked

xPrincessZx: Cool details. Thanks

WildKnightOut2: If ud been there, ud have hated it

xPrincessZx: Why?

WildKnightOut2: Bunch of self-absorbed idiots. Like TheBest is

xPrincessZx: Lol. He’s not that bad.

WildKnightOut2: if u say so

WildKnightOut2: How was sowr

WildKnightOut2: Work*

Zelda autoran towards the path, only stopping her typing when she needed to slightly turn to stay on target.

xPrincessZx: Same old. Someone stayed after class to talk about their favorite tv show because they heard I watched too

WildKnightOut2: What show?

xPrincessZx: Moonlight Howl

WildKnightOut2: Nice. Good show

Though she was about to compliment his taste in television, she spotted a blue poe in the corner of her screen and pinged it. They both ran, a team of NPCs following close behind.

They headed into the Wasteland looking for blue poes that had rare drops for sapphires. She and Wild took out a few groups before they started to struggle. Neither could play and talk at the same time fast enough to warn the other that something was happening, and they both ended up at the shrine of resurrection more times than they cared to admit.

xPrincessZx: Did you like last week’s episode? Amara and Castor were getting it on

WildKnightOut2: Pfff well now I know what kind of movies you watch

xPrincessZx: Calling me out like that ;)

Zelda sat back and took a deep breath, pressing her palm anxiously into her forehead as she crashed into a poe, thankful for the distraction and the need to fight, not type. Her heart raced whenever she tried to flirt with Wild, but he had to think she was insane.

WildKnightOut2: Damn and here I thought I’d be left wondering

xPrincessZx: All you ever have to do is ask

She hadn’t even realized that her character was standing in the middle of the sand dunes, surrounded by skeletons raising up from the dead in the night. It was only when the screen flashed red from damage that she even looked off the chat.

“Shit,” she muttered, casting a shield so she could heal.

Wild’s character ran over, taking out the enemies outside her little bubble.

WildKnightOut2: Distracted, Princess?

xPrincessZx: Was just thinking about you a little too much

ThunderstruckQueen: What am I interrupting?

ThunderstruckQueen: I WISH this game had backchat

ThunderstruckQueen: I need to know

ThunderstruckQueen: As our illustrious leader, I demand to know what I interrupted because damn you two, can we not leave you alone for a few seconds? You’re in the guild chat! Go to PMs if you want to get freaky

Zelda rolled her chair away from her desk, running across the room, her head in her hands, face flushed, and downright burning. She needed to be moving, to let the nerves go through her body, her muscles, her very blood. As if she wasn’t already anxious enough.

Slowly making her way back to the computer, she saw Wild was just as silent.

Swallowing her pride, she sat back down.

xPrincessZx: To be fair, I thought we were in party chat

WildKnightOut2: Same

ThunderstruckQueen: You’re both so cute. Please hook up irl

ThunderstruckQueen: That’s… not what I meant

ThunderstruckQueen: but also… not a bad idea

(PM) WildKnightOut2: Save me

(PM) xPrincessZx: You’re the knight, I’m the princess. I’ll totally play my damsel card in this situation, and only in this situation. You get us out of this

WildKightOut2: You know, I think my cat is calling me. I have to go. Play tomorrow bye

(PM) WildKnightOut2: Love you, Princess, but chivalry is dead

(PM) xPrincessZx: You’re the actual worst

WildKnightOut2 has logged off.

Rolling out of bed Saturday was a challenge all its own.

Relying almost entirely on coffee, bagels, and the love of Duchess to keep her awake, she began her day with her laptop on her dining table, grading a pile of papers that she needed done by Monday.

Until Duchess threw herself on top of the keyboard, demanding attention.

Zelda scratched behind fluffy ears. “You could at least help me, Dutch.”

But met with the yellow glare of her entitled cat, Duchess simply sprawled out more, tapping keystrokes across the screen. Zelda watched the line grow as ufiw became ufiwfiwheffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

“Dutch, move. Let me minimize this at least.”

Duchess was attentive, but stubborn. Immobile.

Rolling her eyes once more, seeing the next page of comments open up with more letters, Zelda pulled out her phone and relented to head scratches for her best friend while she looked through a forum for Hyrule Warriors.

IDK I NEED TO COUNT LOL New Notifications.

Following the red, she lazily scrolled through her messages, noticing all but one was a reply to a comment she’d made. Her forum name was different from her character, a bad habit of hers from her youth: twenty screennames, one password for each. So, she logged in as TwilightPrincessOfHyrule.

Hyrule Warriors Team: New Update Includes Armor Options

TwilightPrincessofHyrule: More ridiculous outfits for women? Give me some armor. I get that I’m a mage, but a mage wants to live too! I want to kick ass and look good doing it!

Rrlpztsndb: doesn’t work like that

Bang70219: Most people in war were male and all warriors were male irl so what does it matter. It’s not like the armor is realistic anyway since it wasn’t real

ZantIsKING: This is why girls shouldn’t even be playing games like this. Of course you’d focus on the clothes

TwilightPrincessofHyrule: You know you all sound sexist, right? We want female characters and the POINT of the last few updates has been inclusivity. Why can’t a female character wear decent armor in your opinion? Because you want to see her tits? Fuck off

ZantIsKING: Video games are meant for men because eyou fucking feminists can’t ever be happy with shit. Get over yourself, and get of this community little girl. let the men play

HyruleWarriorsModTeam: @TwilightPrincessOfHyrule, we know you want more female character armor options and while I don't have anything further to add on the subject please know that the comments above yours are not welcome in my community. Hyrule Warriors is for everyone.

ZantIsKING: This message was reported and removed by the moderators for violating the harassment policy. Learn more here

HeroOfTime✔️: @ZantIsKING sick fuck, back off

Zelda gasped as she checked and rechecked the name. HeroOfTime was one of her favorite streamers for Hyrule Warriors, and he was here, in this discussion, on her side.

Known as the lone wolf of gaming, he was never in a guild, and rarely played with real players on his team, opting to command the NPCs around him in ways that dealt serious damage. A warrior with a ranger specialization, golden armor, a wild cross helmet that was almost his signature, he was probably up there as one of the best players she’d ever seen. When he did drop into PVP modes, he slaughtered everyone around him. It was incredible to watch.

And, though he didn’t talk often, when he did, he was funny.

And cute.

Blonde hair that was often a bit wild and messy, piercing blue eyes that stared into the screen just right that the light was constantly complimenting him, usually in a Hyrule Warriors sweatshirt, thick glasses that looked similar to hers. Gods, she would admit that sometimes, she forgot to watch his character when his face was in the corner of the screen.

But no, she would play it cool. This conversation was no time to fangirl at him.

TwilightPrincessofHyrule: It is sick isn’t it? this is what I still have to deal with every time I say anything on these forums. Last time I did a survey where adding more female characters in PVP was an option, and I was still harassed for it

HeroOfTime✔️: @TwilightPrincessOfHyrule that’s so uncalled for. Ur right. There should be more female characters in PVP. Why did u limit them @HyruleWarriorsModTeam? I remember that survey and I voted the same. Anyone want to come at me too?

Voldgoga: Yeah yeah Sexism blah blah blah. What you call Feminism we call logic. No one wants to play as a female bokoblin or general damn it.

QueenMidna: Lol typical aggressive male. Do you even know who you’re talking to right now?

Voldgoga: Yeah sure. You don’t have to drag your freaking gender into a male monster war. When Tecmo took over you’re getting your ego pumped up even more with female lead and the men are being pushed aside just for the sake of inclusion even though it’s stupid for the plot. Not everyone has to be female to make sure you’re satisfied.

QueenMidna: Keep typing I legit love this aggression

HeroOfTime✔️: When did I start playing Hyrule Warriors: Civil War? TwilightPrincess just wanted new armor. Anyone who is trying to invalidate an OPINION is a fucking moron

Voldgoga: You’re the one invalidating opinions @HeroOfTime, so who’s the moron? You’re a fucking feminist too

HeroOfTime✔️: Damn right I am. Me, @QueenMidna and the @TwilightPrincessOf Hyrule will destroy you all in PVP because asshats with no class like you who attack people with your fucked up logic are shit players overcompensating for everything they’re lacking. Bring me diversity you cowards

HeroOfTime✔️: Or better yet @Voldgoga @ZantIsKING @Rrlpztsndb @Bang70219 come fight on stream.

Trello Vello: @HeroOfTime They weren't even being offensive??? Lol they were making a point that bokoblins had no females among their ranks, cuz uhhh there are none. Lol.

Chaos Bringer: @HeroOfTime @Midna @TwilightPrincessOfHyrule calling people disgraceful and sexist while being disgraceful and sexist lmaooooooo

Voldgoga: @TwilightPrincessOfHyrule Feminist! You aint kicking nobodys ass! You’re probably the last one on the scoreboard. What do you want them to do ? Make a female bokoblin Army ?

Jabu’sMom: You can never make a feminist happy 😂

Voldgoga: Yep. bokoblins are male. Half the monsters don’t have a gender. There are female options for every class, Lana the lead of the freaking campaign. And still there are not enough women so let’s make bokoblins female.

TwilightPrincessofHyrule: Legit I never said anything about bokoblins. Do I think there are females? Fuck yes. Did I ask to play as one? No. I asked for more practical looking armor and you all talked yourself into some fucking sexist rant about bokoblins. You’re all fucking nuts

HeroOfTime✔️: @TwilightPrincessofHyrule, don’t even waste your energy on them anymore. I reported them all for harassment. You should too. Nice talking to you all. You’re going to have chat blocked for a while

That little checkmark beside his name was practically as good as saying he was on the developer’s team themselves. Not many players were from verified accounts, so if the Hero had something to say about them, he was going to be listened to.

One New Message

Zelda checked her inbox curiously, expecting to see Voldgoga continuing their rant, but to her surprise, it was HeroOfTime✔️.

HeroOfTime✔️: Hope that didn’t bother u. I didn’t mean to step into ur fight, but when I saw what Zant said, I couldn’t help myself

TwilightPrincessOfHyrule: No worries! I’m glad you did. Your name alone prob scared some people out of the convo, and your reporting def worked

HeroOfTime✔️: U know me?

TwilightPrincessOfHyrule: Doesn’t everyone?

HeroOfTime✔️: Lol idk. I know who I am, so I have a biased answer

TwilightPrincessOfHyrule: I guess that’s true! I’ll speak for everyone else then, and say yes, yes we all do

HeroOfTime✔️: Damn Princess, ur a poet

HeroOfTime✔️: Srry to cut this short but I gotta stream soon, so I g2g. But good talking to u

TwilightPrincessOfHyrule: Yeah, you too! Thanks again, and have a good stream!

She checked her clock. He didn’t usually stream at this time, but she’d get the alert on her phone whenever it started. For now, she set it down and rested her head on her arms, staring at Duchess’s sleeping form, debating moving her off the keyboard or not.

Goddess, she wished she had Wild’s number, or even a way to talk to him outside the game. She wanted to tell him who she’d just spoken to. He watched Hero’s streams too, though she wasn’t sure if he had quite the same fascination with him that she did.

Checking the clock again—and seeing that only one minute had gone by—she figured he’d probably be at work anyway. Despite not knowing her guild’s names or voices, she did know them. Wild was a rock-climbing instructor and in his free time, he was a free solo climber up some mountains. When she’d looked the sport up, she’d been horrified to see that he basically climbed mountains without a harness or ropes, and a fall could kill him. She’d asked if he was good at it, or just did it for fun, and his answer had been an ambiguous “yes” which left her nervously chuckling.

Just as she told him stories about her students, he told her about his. His company sent him to different places for work both indoor and outdoor training, but his favorite students to reminisce about were the ones who screamed at him, or the adults with crushes. And her favorite tales usually ended with them flirting themselves:

WildKnightOut2: Goddess, she kept feeling my arms with her husband right there. And you could just tell he was enjoying the show too.

TheBestYouveNeverMet: Looking at you? Gross

xPrincessZx: Did you report them or anything?

WildKnightOut2: Nah. I can usually tell the harmless ones from the creepy ones. I’ll tell them to stop, but these two were just so in love with me the whole day. I was almost flattered

xPrincessZx: So all it takes is complimenting your arms to win you over?

WildKnightOut2: Give it a shot and I’ll let you know if it works

xPrincessZx: Oh damn you handsome knight. Carry me away in your big strong arms

There had been a long pause.

WildKnightOut2: Yeah, it works

TheBestYouveNeverMet: I stand corrected. Y’all are both gross

“Come on, Dutch,” Zelda cooed, picking her gorgeous queen off the laptop. “I have to work so I can play later, okay?”

Duchess sprawled out in Zelda’s arms, whining and mewling until Zelda set her back down, and she sauntered away towards her cat tower where she could rein over the room in peace.

Tapping her pen against a sticky note anxiously, Zelda couldn’t stop thinking about her slight crushes on these two characters. And they really were just characters, weren’t they? Wild was a man she’d never met in a guild full of friends she didn’t know talking through a chat that was only on while they were out killing moblins. And worse, HeroOfTime was just a hopeless teenager’s kind of crush on a famous actor. He was cute, funny, talented. But she didn’t know him either. But… she supposed that meant that she did technically know Wild.

She knew about his family: he didn’t live near them, but he kept in contact with his grandparents, his father, and his little sister. She knew his job and his hobbies. She knew how to make him laugh. She knew all about his cat.

“Nope,” Zelda muttered, throwing the pen aside and moving the laptop off the table to her couch, setting up the portable lap tray and her mouse so she could just log on to check. Never would any work get done now, so it wasn’t even worth trying to trick herself into being focused.

She said to me, Oh Death / Come close my eyes by Anonymous (Apollo/Steve, general rating, m/m | 1k words)

Summary: Steve thought the words on his wrist were the coolest thing ever, but they just didn’t make sense. No, really; he even asked 5up–had called him in a possibly drunk state on his twentieth birthday, when a prickling sensation on his arm made him think that he was about to die, 5up, help, and was reminded drily that it was his soulmark, dumbass–and the best his smartest friend (self-proclaimed) could offer was, “Maybe your soulmate’s a poet?” Completely useless. Steve remembered hanging up on him, the click of his mobile cutting off his indignant exclamation. It was only the next day that he looked, properly looked, at his soulmark and tried to make sense of it. Nope. That didn’t work out either; he blamed the hangover. For the longest time ever, he just dismissed it as the universe fucking up. A slash in the middle of a phrase? Ridiculous.

But in different ways.

Inside My Mind by SilverSprinklez10 (5up/Apollo, Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 1.4k words)

(2021, 190 x 172 cm, oil on canvas) by 5280ft (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 1.9k words)

Summary: Nobody ever painted anything if they’ve never painted the way 5up closes his eyes when he laughs, how his slender fingers wrap around a new tube of paint, how his smile is all teeth and eye-crinkling. Cabanel’s Fallen Angel has curls, but they aren’t 5up’s, are they? Hyllas, in the nymphs, has fair and delicate hands but 5up’s are prettier, especially when he accidentally squirts paint everywhere and slams his palms on the table and goes “fuck!” Steve cackles until he can’t breathe.

mi casa es su casa by some_spooky_shit_right_there (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2.9k words)

Summary: Apollo's soulmate is cautious. Except, apparently, when it comes to coffee. Because, for the fifth time this week, Apollo wakes up to a burnt tongue. It's annoying. He can't really be mad though, because he has given his soulmate so much worse. The occasional burnt tongue is a meager act of penance, comparatively.

Summary: Apollo comes into 5up's coffee shop. He always gets a cup of coffee and either a bagel or a croissant. He always seems tired, and he never comes in on weekends. Steve would really love to find out just who, exactly, he is.

Summary: Steven Suptic is a brilliant crewmate - ask anyone. Okay so don't ask Janet. Or Dk. Or Koji. You know what, don't even ask - it's pretty obvious he is. But when new recruit and stunningly intelligent 5up boards the Crewfu, Steve isn't so sure he can compete. Not that he cares. Totally. Absolutely. On their mission to gather intel on Polus and find out what happened to the previous crew that disappeared from the planet three years earlier, Steve may realize that maybe he was indeed more fool than wise - and maybe it wasn't a bad thing.

i was praying that you and me might end up together by Qupid (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 7.8k words, chaptered WIP)

Summary: Four years at Polus University. Four first weeks of school. Two strangers become two friends, and maybe even something more. Apollo hates being seen, hates having attention drawn to him, hates living in a world that feels like a game where everyone knows the rules except him. Steve thrives on attention, purposefully draws the gaze of everyone in the room, making his own rules as he floats through life. They're a match made in hell, but Apollo finds that when Steve looks at him, gives him nothing but attention, he doesn't mind being seen after all.

there’s so many ways to say “i love you” and i wouldn’t wanna waste ‘em (on someone who, don’t feel it too) by Dear_MaedaysUnwelcomedGhost (5up/Steve, 5up/Hafu, 5up/Ellum, 5up/Kimi, teen rating, multi | 13k words, chaptered)

Summary: Love was a strange thing, 5up found. It was everywhere. And not in the way it may seem. It wasn’t in the adverts of perfect couples with artificial lighting. It wasn’t in the glittery cards made by factories or the flowers sold at grocery stores. Not in the TV shows made to bring in cash and be thrown out, with couples who don’t have anything to hold onto but brief infatuation and physical attraction. But in the friendly smiles of strangers as they pass by. In a mother cutting fruit up for their child. Running a hand through the hair of your partner, as their eyes flutter close and to sleep. Helping a stranger pick up their dropped papers, asking for nothing in return. In the graffiti on the wall by the alleyway you walk by everyday to get to work. To the goods baked by small independent bakeries. Flowers planted in parks to make it just a little nicer, or the ones growing out of pavement cracks with determination.

FAQ:

Wait what is this: pretty straight to the point! i’ll regularly share crewfu-related fanfictions to this blog :)

How regularly is “regularly”?: great question! LOL. it depends on the flow of fanfics that get uploaded, which i do not have any control over, but i’m looking forward to do this twice a month. after all, it’s only me doing this and i often run on a tight schedule.

What’s the format like?:

[title of fic with link] by [author of the fic with link] ([main pairing(s)], [fic rating: eg, general rating], [relationship: eg, m/m] | [word count in k], [added prompt to specify if it’s complete or not])

Summary: [summary provided by the author. if it doesn’t have a summary, a “No summary” prompt will be put instead]

(What does WIP mean again?): Work In Progress :)

Why are you doing this?: from the beginning, my blog has hosted conversations about RPF (real people fiction) and crewfu pairings. this has evolved into people sending me updates about certain fics in the crewfu tags every now and then, but i wanna take the next step and just do these things myself. after all, i’m already lurking in the tags often to see the fics that get posted. as someone who is both a writer and a reader, i wanna appreciate fanfic writers and help out other people that want to read fanfic and consume more fandom content!

Will it be AO3 only?: well, ao3 has a very helpful tag system that makes finding fics incredibly easy, as well as allowing people with no accounts to like and comment on fics, so that’s the site i will personally look in for fanworks. but if there are any fics you’ve written or liked in any other platforms, such as wattpad, you can always contact me through my inbox (send an ask or a dm!), and i’ll make sure to include for the next fanfic spotlight :)

Does it mean you won’t reply to fic asks anymore?: yeah, i guess. since i’ll be doing the searching myself it seems counterproductive. but if i ever skip a fic or again, it’s in another platform, or you’ve posted/read the fic a while ago and you want to get more traction on it, hit me up and i’ll take it into consideration!

Will you read every single one of the fics on your list?: oh no. again, i run on a tight schedule, and also i have my own taste when it comes to fics. i won’t be reviewing fics or any of the sort, and my intention extends to simply sharing these fics to this page so people will have easier access to them :) that’s where ao3 tagging becomes SUPER useful!!!

So what’s the criteria for the way you’ll sort out the fics in your list?: word count, going from lowest to highest. in case of fics in other platforms, i guess i’ll put them at the top of the list. i’ll also be looking for fairly recent fics, so let me know if you want any old-ish fic to be included.

I see you talking mostly about 5up/Steve and Steve/Apollo. Can I still send/see other crewfu fics?: why yes absolutely! my goal is to push every fic which heavily features regular crewfu characters - 5uptic and supdog just happen to be very popular pairings. so, to give you a list: core 4 (5up, hafu, dk, steve), apollo, aipha, annie, janet, kimi, ellum, koji… you know the drill. it doesn’t have to be centered on a relationship, or about 5up in specific, etc. my only requirement is that any of the previously mentioned members are a central part of the fic or are HEAVILY featured in it (sorry, minecraft fics with 50+ tags who only mention 5up as an afterthought won’t make the cut :/).

Isn’t shipping Bad™?: well, it’s a little more nuanced than that. i will go out of my way to discourage and shame people who often violate CCs’ boundaries by acting like so and so has a crush on this person, or that this and that are Actually Into Each Other or secretly dating. any sort of tinhat bullshit is a big nono (think larries). but i run on the assumption that people who write rpf understand that what they’re doing is simply write a completely fictional story using real life personalities, and understand the boundaries necessary to do it - aka they’re not tinhats, they understand they can’t assume everything about CCs’ thoughts and personalities, they understand that what they’re writing is strictly fiction, they keep these works only in fandom circles, etc. (but again, it’s only one me doing this, so please be kind if i don’t happen to know that this person is Actually a tinhat or whatever).

show fic: NO. (seriously. i don’t feel comfortable putting my ao3 account out there. please respect my privacy on these trying times <3)

I REALLY don’t care about your rpf/fic talk: fair! i’ll be tagging every single one of these posts as “fanfic spotlight”, so just mute the tag using tumblr settings so you’ll never have to look at these! likewise, you can follow the tag if you want to keep up with it, or search it on my blog to look at the other entries you might have missed.

Hey, my fic is here and I don’t feel comfortable with it being shared over here: no problem! let me know as soon as you can and i’ll take it down <3
