I was rereading adored last night (there was a blackout so I couldnt ask you earlier) but anyway I was reading it and I thought hmm the captain is rlly quite very autistic in this. idk I recently got a diagnosis and I saw myself in the cap a lot, especially in his rule following (the 'no kissing' rule and his original reservations to rekindle sex with pat come to mind) and the difficulty with regulating his annoyance around pat (I think at one point, its pointed out that pat rlly knows how to push the caps buttons). also the cap being funny about touch and humphrey respecting that and asking if the cap wants a hug after pat goes on the date. anyway, I was curious if this was a conscious choice or whether you were just following the caps character in canon (cause hes pretty autistic there as well) and I know ur great an characterisation but yeah. was the captains autistic traits intentional in adored? or was it unintentional?

(sorry for the long, rambling ask. adored is my fave ghosts fic)

aaah thank you, i'm very happy to know that adored is your fave ghosts fic!! that's amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

with regards to Cap being autistic - i have received many iterations of this question before, but I actually don't think anyone has used adored as an example yet! you're absolutely right that he can be read as autistic and I certainly would also be inclined to do that.

i did not intentionally write him that way at the time, but just tried my best to base him on what he's like in the show (i.e. an autistic king!). and as many people have pointed out to me now, i may also have a touch of the 'tism, but i'm not in a position to be able to get any sort of diagnosis and so i'm just vibing.

bascially, any version of the Captain i write is autistic, even if that was a conscious choice or not.

Alright, first of all this fic is everything. The way @curioushabitforarivergod writes is just absolutely so gut wrenchingly beautiful that I'd never get over it. It's just one shot I know but, but — it is still a one-shot that spoke a billion words to me. To Riddle, despite his edges and despite his darkness is still a child, a child stuck in the middle of a warzone with no one, literally no one to lookout for him. And I just absolutely love Blair showed that. I love, love how this fic emphasized on little Riddle still being a child amidst the war, a child who despite everything still seek for comfort, still looked for someone who would help him, who would be there — just for him.

He is an orphan who never had a home, an orphan who was saved by this stranger, saved from his biggest fear. And have I mentioned how much I love Blair's writing. Yes, I did. And I'll do it again. Because my gosh, the pacing and how believable it was that Tom would latch onto that one person who gave him the illusion of safety. The way the writer added those small horrors of war in the middle of the story, the small nuances of suffering that surrounded them. And the ending made me so SAD. But all in all, I loved it, loved the imagery and the way Blair described everything that was happening. The way Harry and Tom's conversation felt so real even though it was so short. And the way Tom was so desperately human, and also so Tom.

In conclusion: I'm in love with your writing Blair, thank you for existing. <3

10 First Lines

rules: list the first line of your last 10 fics and see if there's a pattern

i'm going to do first line rather than sentence? if that's okay? though for most fics, they are one and the same 😂

conclusion: actually it looks like i start most of my fics with one sentence 🤣

thank you so much for the tag @i-dream-of-libraries 🥹🥹🥹

And amidst this suffocation — this terrible burning, this stench of the dead, of everything twisted and wrong — as Tom stumbles and as he is thrown, like a tiny boat in a tumultuous sea, a hand grasps his wrist and pulls him to chest taller and broader than he. The golden-red light of fire of a bomb explodes around them as Tom feels a sick twisting of his stomach. He catches the eyes of his saviour — brilliant, bright green, and the twisting wreckage of a white lightning strike flashing across his forehead — and gasps. Or; a boy saves Tom during the Blitz

just posted a dead dove anakin fic!! it's an 800 word, non-linear character study of sorts featuring hurt no comfort for anakin

ta so much to @allthepeculiarthings for persuading me to post it. without her, there would be nothing

hiding the summary bcs it deals with some triggering topics (sa, underage, etc.)

He’s fifteen. A hand over his mouth, familiar hands pushing his body apart as the Coruscant streetlight streams in through the blinds. The dark makes this affair more illicit, he thinks wildly. By now, he’s learnt to take it. By now, he’s given up fighting. Or; Obi-Wan has been raping Anakin for years.
