11, 12, 13 (lmao I love youuu 😘) and 7 💕💕

DO YOU?? 🤣 I love you most 😘💖💖💖💖

11) What work took you the longest to write?

The one(s) that aren't finished??? 🤣 I mean you know Bannerella could be longer and that one I officially started ten years ago. So. 🙃

12) How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

NOTHING. Okay. A few thing. So many thing. Officially, I would say Love Spell, SoulmateAU 2, Heartfelt (@loveyourownsmiilee it's cominggg I promiseeee 😭) Steamroller 4, Release, Crash 2, and TimeQuakeAU. But WIDFL is priority one. So, 8 ish?

13) What’s your longest work of the year?

Longest I've written in just this year? Eddie vs Feelings. 62K Biggest current project though is What I Did for Love. There's 115K posted right now but I did start that one last year? Same with the Buddie as Orpheus and Eurydice series because I wrote roughly 52K for it this year but 30K of it was from last Halloween. 🙃

7) If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most?

I wondered why this was out of order and then I read the question and 🤣 It's because you know me so well lol I don't really follow artists? I follow all things Broadway soooo. I used a lot of Hadestown for obvious reasons and both WIDFL and The Definition of Love have lyrics from I Can't Lose You, What Do You Know About Love, and Kristoff's Lullaby all from the broadway version of Frozen.  😘😘😘

MCotCC 22 (MCU) for the WIP ask!

OH GOSH OKAY. So, this is the next chapter of my massively, ridiculously long science bros/boyfriends fic that I have legit been working on since late 2012/early 2013? I have to take breaks because it's So Much and because the whole of the Marvel Universe basically didn't exist when I started. The damn thing is over 204K currently.

The premise is a Cinderella-esque story where they met long before the first Avengers movie, had a magical (read: porny and feelsy) night together, but Bruce has to run off and leave and Tony never stops thinking about this man he had such a connection with who never revealed his real identity.

It is here in case any one is interested. It stops in a good place right now so don't worry about the WIP tags on it. I could have ended it with Ch 21, but I had more things planned? But this is by far the longest and most involved piece I've ever written.

Myogenic Contractions of the Cardiac Cycle

Ch 12

Update :)

[elvensorceress]

2021 fic year in review

Tagged by the Lovely and Incomparable @reallysmartladymariecurie thank you, darling! 💕

Total Number Of Completed Works: 14 (is what we’ll call it even though I have a few WIP series)

Total Word Count: ~335,000 (side note how in tf)

Fandoms I’ve Written In: 911 and a teensy bit MCU

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected?: Waaaaay way way more. I have never ever written this much for anything. And given as I had never seen an episode of 911 before May of this year, didn’t exactly expect that at all. (but omg how I love them 😭)

What’s Your Own Favorite Story Of The Year?: So hard to pick because they’re all pretty different? My Heart series was a complete labor of love and an unintentionally massive love letter to all of Buddie fandom (and their story up through s4) because the sniper incident was what got me into the fandom. So of course this story is very special. I am still not sure how I wrote 137K in four months. still over here going hOOWWW????? I am also very very fond of The Aftermath of Liberation and Love Confessions. Who doesn’t love sassy petty Eddie? 

Did You Take Any Writing Risks This Year?: idk just writing in general and pushing myself to stay with it? Which isn’t really a “risk” per se but putting anything out there kind of is? I also like to play around with prose in general. I think it’s fun, especially in moments where a character is completely out of it or blindsided by something, to make the narration more poetic or lyrical? With repetitive lines or lack of punctuation and things like that.

Do You Have Any Fanfic Or Profic Goals For The New Year?: I do have a few series to finish. I was going to work on my alternate canon s2 Buddie series during hiatus but then I got started with a post 5a fic of pain (I’m fixing them I promise we’re working on ittttt) that I’m really enjoying and I’m really excited about what’s coming up in the next chapter.  Also, I have to finish Bannerella at some point because I’ve been working on it off and on for almost 10 years and it’s just ridiculous at this point. 

Most Popular Story Of The Year?: Technically? Based on kudos, it’s Plus or Minus, which I sort of figured might be the case? It was an idea that a lot of people seemed to theorize about (T*yKay gets a job offer and asks Buck to go with her) but I hadn’t seen any fics about it where that was the whole premise? (Totally could have missed them. So sorry if I did!) So I think it got quite a bit of traction just because people wanted to see that play out. But if we’re being honest, I think it’s one of if not my weakest piece. I do love the two scenes with Eddie (and Christopher) and the whole Eddie stress cleaning because it’s apparently A Thing lol. But overall, I’m still pretty meh about it. *insert shrug emoji*  However, if we go by some responses and reactions that I received, I’d say Aftermath (and even my What I Did for Love fic) seem more popular to me. Though if we go by number of bookmarks, it’s my Heart series.

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: Okay, I’m going to ramble here because I think I either didn’t summarize this one very well or I posted it too late and people were over Halloween, but I really really loved, In the Darkest Time of Year, and I swear basically no one read it. It’s kind of like Aftermath in that it’s sort of a holiday fic? But not really? It’s also an Eddie POV story in which we are tormented by repression and go through a whole Halloween shift of spookiness and emotions to get Eddie to confess his feelings. The goal was to really break him down and threaten him with losing Buck forever if he didn’t come to terms with everything he’s been holding in. 

There are sweet scenes with Eddie and Hen working together and being friends! (and I wanted them to have that whole sexuality conversation without being super straightforward about it?) and there’s mutual pining and longing with Buck, and not one but TWO scenes of Eddie vs T*ylor ethical conflict snarky fighting showdowns (including one right in front of Buck 👀) plus it all has this maybe magical realism, maybe mental breakdown hallucination sort of things that I thought gave it an interesting twist. Also has the tragic gay cheerleaders 😭 and I had a lot of fun hinting at these mythological figures and giving them personalities. Oh plus??? I somehow got into making it a kind of Orpheus/Eurydice type story only the twist is that Eddie is Eurydice because Buck pulled him from death, but they’re both still stuck in that moment of the sniper shooting so Eddie worries that he will be trapped in death and the underworld.

Anyway! I would love you forever and ever if you went and checked it out! 

Most Fun Story To Write: Hands down. Aftermath of Liberation and Love Confessions. Snarky sassy petty Eddie! Buck getting roasted for the lame T*yKay love confession! Ravi being adorable! A couple super fun OCs who were inspired/based on my late grandparents. Oh, and let me tell you that Buddie kiss? Was one of my favorites to write. Also, I didn’t get to do this for a couple of fics where I think it needed it? But I got to slow down the ending for this and give them some time to figure things out. Which meant you got to see them be cute and together after their big confessions and I really liked that. 

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Also, Aftermath. Eddie’s whole confusion about defining his sexuality and his coming out scene. I feel that so hard. demisexual!Eddie my beloved 😭 Plus, obviously the two OCs (Larry and Patricia) are very special to me. It was fun bringing them back to life in a sweet, ridiculous, silly way. All the love confessions, too, and having everyone essentially tell their own love stories hit very close to home because every single one is inspired by my own wife and how much I love her and how important she is to me. 

Biggest Disappointment: I think I already rambled too much about that lol. But In the Darkest Time of Year

Biggest Surprise: Writing this much at all? Falling so hard for this pairing and their little family and weirdly identifying so much with both of them but in different ways? Also, I am still surprised by the reaction I received to Aftermath. I wasn’t sure people would like it! But it was so much fun to write and I loved it so so much. So, if anything, I’m very grateful people loved it :) 

My Favorite Part Of Fandom This Year: Oh gosh. I’ve been enjoying all the amazing writers and meta-ers and gif makers and artists! You are all so incredible and so talented and I adore all of you. Also, I have to agree with @reallysmartladymariecurie because I joined the fandom between 4x13 and 4x14 and omgggggg was that wild. I’ve met such kind and wonderful people who just amaze me every day with their friendliness and enthusiasm and I just really love all of you. It’s been a long time since I was so excited about a fandom and it’s largely because of all of you. 💕💕💕💕💕 Giant hugs and love for you all! 🤗💕

I’m going to add a few here, too because they just need to be mentioned!

Most Memorable Scene to Write: There are some scenes from Heart of Flowers/Heart of Gold that I just really lovelovelove and feel they had to have happened in canon in some form but we just didn’t get to see them. But the one that really sticks out to me is basically a 4x04 addition where Buck goes to Eddie and Christopher’s after the “love me anyway” dinner with his parents and has a breakdown in the key of, “what did I do wrong/why can’t anyone love me.” And his boys smush him in a hug and snuggle him. It’s still one of my all time faves. Also? When Eddie’s parents call and not only does he get to tell them off but he has to argue that he (and Christopher) deserve love? Oh, that was fun. 

Favorite Kiss: The overall story is still in progress, but I think the beginning can still be a standalone. So, if you want to know my all time favorite Buddie kiss that was just the most fun? It’s from Reset the Clock. Also the love scene near the end of Heart of Flowers/Heart of Gold is 👀👀👀👀 just saying.

Got tagged by @twofirefighterdads 💖

RULES: Tag nine people you want to know better.

Favorite Color: Yellow, most favorite yellows are in the lemony or soft pale or bright neon (not so much the ones that tend toward a mustard or more orange shade) 

Currently Reading: an excess of all the Buddie fics imaginable? I’m new here. have to catch up :)

Last Song:  Run Away With Me from The Mad Ones

Last Movie: Raya and the Last Dragon

Last Series: currently watching the Loki series! and WandaVision (because I was late to that party, too) and then 911 a second time around because of all the reasons

Sweet, Savory, or Spicy?: if I had to choose??? Savory. But spicy/sweet as a combo especially in savory dishes is my favorite ever? let me tell you about these tacos I make with spicy tofu and pineapple salsa mmhmmm 

Craving: those tacos lol

Tea or Coffee: I’m more of a tea person? I love love love tea and mint green tea or lavender earl grey teas are usually my favorites. But I would not say no to a nice latte or flat white. 

Currently Working on: well the final chapters of Bannerella is still in the works but after the 30K chapter, I needed a break. And I had a lot of feelings about the bisexual firefighters and their little family. Sooooo. Current project I have pulled up is a (ofc Buddie + Chris centric fic) Buck POV during 4x14 that digs into that trauma and extends the timeline a little more to build on the Bathena / Buddie parallels and make the medical aspect of Eddie’s gunshot wound more true to life because they drive me a little craycray with their medicine sometimesssss  and then I was planning on involving Eddie’s POV and recovery journey as well but he only just woke up lol and I’m already over 23K words

[elvensorceress]

those big questions in life...

am debating whether or not to do some hand-wavey science in new MCotCC chapter or to just go with the easy fix. on one hand hand-wavey. on the other conventional. also i know exactly how the hand-wavey is supposed to work. it'd just be suspending belief for a tick that they have a specific serum. and blerg. where is some magic when you need it?
