🌹 please!! <3

hello, I have come up with a new chaotic Moustead AU and I'm making it everybody's problem 💛

He was going to shower as soon as he got back to his hotel room, anyway, and getting completely cleaned up wasn’t exactly at the top of his list of priorities.

[ for every 🌹 i will share one random sentence of a current wip ]

[kitweewoos]

✒️✒️ for friends please!!

Thank you, my love!!! <3

“Act like you belong at my side, because you do, and no one will even notice that you feel like you don’t. And if it’s my dad, he doesn’t get to say that I can’t bring you. I can’t promise that he’ll love you, like I want to, because he should, because he’s a rigid homophobe, but I can promise that no matter what, I’ll be at your side throughout it all. Does that help a little?”

Will leaned his forehead against Connor’s, and let out a breath.

“Yeah, that helps,” he said softly.

Send me a ✒️ and a wip title/code name and I’ll write three sentences on that wip and you get the sentences

hi hi hi please tell me more about adopted mouse

Hi, Martin!

Adopted!Mouse is... exactly what it says on the tin, I guess. I've gotten a couple asks about it today, so I'll try to cover a little bit of a different aspect of it in each response. This one will lean toward the Gerwitzes' side of things (I know, we hate them, I'm sorry)

Do I know any of the details for this specific part of it yet? No. Will that stop me? Also no.

(warning for a mention of infertility in the next paragraph)

For reasons that I have not sorted out yet, Thelma can't have kids of her own. She didn't know this until after she was married, because she had no reason to suspect otherwise before she was trying to give Gregory an heir. And it's very much an image issue, from both of their perspectives - do they particularly want children to take care of and dote on? No. But their corner of society has told them that a family legacy is important. If there's no one to carry on the family name and money, they've failed. And failure isn't acceptable.

So they decide to (secretly) adopt. They can lie about the pregnancy as much as they need to, and the adoption can be completely closed so that none of it is available for public record. They'll just adopt a baby boy to carry on the family name, even give him the family name, raise Gregory Gerwitz IV, and balance will be restored. Their reputations are still intact, and they only really need one heir. Even the kid doesn't know he's adopted, because it's too much of a risk to tell him - what if he says something? Kids aren't exactly known for watching what they say.

And then he grows up, and he looks enough like them that no one suspects anything, because they have no reason to look too closely. Even when they disown him and cut him off and he's going by Mouse, no one looks close enough to see the truth. Not even him. Because why would he look so closely at the family that didn't even want him?

ooo can i have some sentences from scream please!

absolutely!

Silent didn't pair with the idea of a crazy, out of control party.

Silent went better with far more suspicious possibilities.

She stepped inside slowly, watching where she walked to make sure there were no errant prints in the blood on the floor. A glance over her shoulder, just to make sure her partners were near enough if something went wrong, and then she made sure to stay quiet to match the air around them.

🔥 i wanna hear your hot takes

hottest of takes coming right up!

This one is also about Jay in 10x03, because... the fandom has an opinion on it and I think they're entitled to their wrong opinion.

The most comment argument I see for Jay's exit being "out of character" (it's not) is that he argued against Mouse reenlisting and that conversation with Erin about it. Erin made a comment about how reenlisting was the right thing for Mouse but not the right thing for Jay. And she was right!

But that was six years ago. A lot has happened since then. Jay is allowed to change over time. He would have been allowed to change that opinion in a week if things went that way. Saying that he would never go back to the army because of something that was said more than half a decade ago isn't the mic drop some people think it is.

"Come on, Sunshine. If I'm late to my own party, no one is going to let me live it down."

12, 13 and 14 for the fic writer asks! <3

this took so long to get to I'm so sorry

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?

not really? I mean, I write the same things I wrote when I started fic writing 13 years ago - heart crushing angst, sometimes with a happy ending and extra comfort for all that hurt. if you go back to even my Twilight era, nothing has changed. I'm very consistent.

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?

see above

14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?

I will read literally anything that @kitthekazoo or @fighterkimburgess writes. Kit has gotten me to enjoy omegaverse, which is something I've refused to touch since I learned what it was. Nothing specific from Cíara comes to mind immediately, but I have a lot of their fics sitting in my likes for when I have time to read after the busy season at work.
