#dragon anon!!! people like this au!!!! :D

[aura2023]

👉👈 do you have more content from your DW/Hijack crossover?

[ Edit January 2024 -> This was an ask from june 2023. I didn't realized that I left this ask in the drafts for more than 7 months and didn't post it. I'm so sorry anon :,( ]

Hello! And yes i do! Here are some of the sketches :D I don't have written down how i want the interactions between the characters to be yet. I choose the 10th doctor for now but i'm still in doubt of which regeneration i want hiccup to meet

I don't have like an AU or a story planned (? but i can share some little ideas under the cut.

The first time they meet is by accident. Hiccup and toothless got separated. It's the night fury the one that hears a strange sound. Following it into a cave there were dragons in cages along with a man with strange clothes opening those cages. The man sees the dragon and greets it, He calls himself The doctor. And tells toothless to get away before the dragon trappers get back to the cave.

The doctor invites hiccup and toothless to travel with him. Promising an adventure not only far away from the archipielago, but far away in the stars. When they see the tardis for the first time hiccup couldn't believe that it was bigger inside. He even started to take measures and making notes.

Hiccup learns that the doctor can speak dragon. He watches as the doctor and toothless hold a very long conversation. When he asks about it the doctor just says "Isn't it obvious? I speak dragon. Don't worry toothless was just saying good things. " Hiccup wants to learn dragon speech.

Hipo at first goes traveling with the doctor without telling anyone since they can go back home 5 minutes after leaving, time travel stuff. This is perfect for hiccup, he can go and have this crazy adventures without compromising his duties as the son of the chief.

Of course if you are observant you would notice that the boy started to became more taller really fast, and when asked about things that happened in the day he wouldn't remember those very well. This starts making problems.

- Hiccup and toothless go with the doctor and see different worlds, space whales and dragons surfing through the stars. The technology and the change of scenery can be too much but they are de terminated to explore and learn.

For the hiccup and jack ship in this Doctor who crossover.

This is in our time present (2023). When jack first appears, he is like a ghost. Can't be seen so he is always alone. Like a wind. He spends his time doing pranks and helping missing kids go back home.

His body is trapped in an old alien machine but his mind is " roaming free" in the world. That machine is inside an alien spaceship that fell into the earth many years ago. Jack "found it" when he fell into the frozen lake +/- 300 years ago. Jack like in the movie has seen the world go forward.

Jack can't go time travel into the TARDIS since his connection with his body will be broken. They can still travel around the globe.

In between adventures Hiccup and the doctor visit Jack. It's the most "normal life adventures" they can get lol. Jack teaches Hiccup about the technology and what the 21st century has to offer. Videogames, comics, how he spooks people in old buildings. Hell they can even go and urban exploration. Stop the typical alien invasion with the doctor. Jack meeting toothless. Hiccup talking about his life back at berk and his adventures with the doctor.

One day a group of aliens attacks a city searching for this machine. The doctor alongside Hiccup, Toothless and Jack try to stop the enemies plan. They discover the machine and that jack's body is inside of it. If the enemy finds it they will kill jack in order to use it themselves, the doctor wanted to destroy the machine but now they now is the only thing that is keeping jack "alive."

Now i don't know what they will do after that. Haven't thought much about it. But i know that i want Hiccup to meet both jack in the future, and in the past (before getting trapped in the machine) Maybe he does time after jack is gone. The doctor takes Hiccup 300 years in the past and meets Jackson Overland the week before he falls into the lake and into the machine.

He can´t stop what's going to happen to Jack but he can prolong it. So one day he asks him if he would like to join them. He does. Until jack decides to go back with his family and the day after that he falls into the ice.

I'm sorry that Jack/Hiccup doesn't have a happy ending. My friends told me that i can be a little angst machine.

Edit January 2024 -> I kinda remember that i made another ending but i can't remember where i wrote it. I'm so sorry anon, perdoname por las tardanzas y las respuestas largas. And please forgive me if there are grammatical mistakes and not correct use of words. Tried my best.

[anghraine]

hey there! i absolutely adore your blog, moreso because i ventured into it for the absolutely based darcy & elizabeth takes, but learned that you were somehow also ??? a faramir lover??? i'm sorry this is how people in soulmate aus must feel because holyyyy shit. you don't know me but i feel like your ramblings were custom made for me (in as non-creepy a way as possible).

you've somehow rekindled my love for lotr, which was a major part of my 8 yr old life. i only read lotr and the hobbit (the hobbit reading experience was also tainted because foolish 8 yr me read it off the high of finishing lotr, and went "wait it's about a dragon? that's it? ewww). but i am making time out of my schedule to reread and also finally read the silmarillion! so excited.

faramir was my first fandom blorbo and probably the one i still hold the most unrestrained, uncomplicated adoration for. i remember being an enthusiastic aragorn supporter until the end of return of the king when i realized faramir wasn't going to be ruling steward. then, i turned into movie boromir and just started muttering "gondor has no king. gondor needs no king." over and over. little me read a few lines about faramir and tossed aragorn out the window: "yes, i know you are a main character i've followed for a long time. i know you want this and basically everyone important & good in the novel supports you. but idc faramir would be a great ruler and who are you to show up out of nowhere and-"

probably the only person who left the happy ending of return of the king feeling so grumpy. i was the bitter guest wearing white at aragorn's wedding coronation.

anyways, all this to say that you are amazing, and elementary school me is feeling so much catharsis reading textually supported faramir appreciation.

Hi, anon!

I delayed responding because I really wanted to give this a properly thoughtful response after it made my day (Darcy/Elizabeth + Faramir stans unite!!!), but I've been busy and didn't have the time for everything I would like to say. However, I also didn't want you to think I'd missed it or been offended or something.

So thank you very, very much. I really appreciated receiving this, especially at a time when I'm less active. I'm glad you've enjoyed both the Darcy/Elizabeth and Faramir back catalogue (and my Aragorn naysaying haha) and your elementary school self is very right :D

MY AU HANTENGU CLONES MAIN HEAD CANNONS :D

This is my Au version of the Hantengu brothers. It doesn't effect the actual anime or manga or anything that these were apart or inspired in. Or your versions of them in your Au.

Karaku. [My Au version.]

In my Alternate reality, Karaku can be see as the demon of pleasure, a pretty relaxed, Laid-back, teasing, flirty, seductive, dominant demon who wouldn't risk any chances. He also tends to have shown a bit of anger, sadness and fear. but that is something that he can't control.

He gets on a lot with his brothers and always got to be the one to brighten up their moods [Other times it's Urogi] He can also be teasing them in a fun brotherly way while also trying to make sure that he wouldn't hurt their feelings [With Aizetsu]

He is the 2nd oldest off the bunch. But he doesn't really matter about it. He is also the main muscular type [The abs, Biceps, pecs and thighs.] and also a "Woman snatcher" guy if he sees a female. Even them thick ones... Or a vulnerable human.

He can also be seen as the "Relaxing one", this shows if his brothers or his friends would be in distress or in uncontrollable tears. His hugs, massages, soothing words and reassurance will help his fellow comrades into relaxation. [Mainly Aizetsu due to him being emotional at times.] He's also an extroverted demon that solves problems through discussions.

Sometimes if possible Karaku would have time to become a seducer [But we don't talk about that one.. It's private buisness.]

In secret. He is secretly a Step-father to a demon mother and child which he took them under his arms for protection from her toxic ex husband, but he somehow fell in love with the woman. Now becoming her daughter's guardian. Though, he doesn't tell this to the uppermoons or Sekido and Zohakuten. [Only Urogi and Aizetsu knows.]

He always carries around his Uchiwa fan at all times, he's also the type of person for workouts, sports, competition and weird things.. [We don't talk about weird things. That's also private buisness.]

[He also got a thick rump but we don't talk about that one OK bye.]

I blame the anon for that last part.

Sekido. [My Au version.]

In my alternate reality, Sekido can be see as the demon of Anger. A grumpy, cranky, vexed, irritated demon who would literally shout at the wall if it would make him mad for existing. He so tends to be shown of more than one emotion.. Other times he can be happy and calm. Though he refuse to acknowledged that.

He rarely gets on with his brothers. Though he is the leader and have to make sure that they wouldn't be slacking off or causing mischief [Urogi and Karaku.]. He would lash out if things wouldn't go his way or when things went horribly wrong out of the blue. Aizetsu would get the most scoldings due to his emotional wreckage. Urogi would be the 2nd cause of his stupidity and annoyance.

He is the oldest off the bunch. And he takes that way to seriously. He isn't the type of guy to be seen with a human due to his grudge against them and pure hatred. He is also very intelligent and stubborn when it comes to them getting in situations and causing him to let out some steam like a dragon.

He can be seen as the "Moody one" but you already know why.

He have the world record of lashing out for 5 hours.

He also doesn't like people touching him in parts. [That I won't mention.]

In secret. Sekido suffers with Obsessive–compulsive disorder. [Ocd] which is why he makes and I mean makes sure that everything will be shaped perfectly. He would also repeat his cleaning protocol twice. Sekido's only time when his Ocd kicked in is when Urogi accidentally jumped on a puddle and got Sekido's robe dirty.. Urogi suffered from ptsd after witnessing the horrific ordeal.

Also secret. Sekido sleepwalks. So his bed have leather belts wrapped around to immobilize him. Though he sometimes wiggles his way out of it which leads to the straps being tightened.

He always carries around his Khakkhara at all times. Threatening those that he will fry them if they dare challenge him or annoy him.

Aizetsu. [My Au version.]

In my alternate reality. Aizetsu can be seen as the demon of sorrow. A bitter, sour, dejected Emotional damage guy who cries at pretty much anything and panics from it. If its movies. Stories. Musics. People. Anything can set him off. But other times he's usually calm and normal.

He gets on with his brothers [Rarely Sekido.]. He sees them as his "emotional supporters." and would cry and hug them in needs of comfort and consolation. [Karaku would be the type of guy to get Aizetsu to relax. Other times is Urogi.] Aizetsu would also suffer from constant scolding's and harsh shouting from Sekido if he screw things up or make himself look like a baby out in public. He would use his scolding's as a lesson to try and make himself look better.

He is the 3rd oldest out of the bunch. But due to his constant changing emotions and panic attacks. He is the most vulnerable and lack of understanding. Which would be a bit of a problem when it comes to some sort of situations.

He is also a bit of a softie and introverted. Which makes him the "Emotional one"

He is also the type of person that apologies quickly and feels guilty about himself.

He to innocent to be apart of my [Weird stories] so I won't add him.

In secret. Aizetsu carries around an inhaler that he uses due to his struggles of breathing [Which was caused when Nezuko fucking burned him and his lungs. His skin manages to regenerate but his lungs are irreparable.] in other occasions he would forget to take it which leads to asthma attacks that causes his brothers to tend to his aid and put him back on track. Reminding every day to take his inhaler.

He always carries around his Jumonji Yari Spear at all times. Defending and protecting from any possible dangers.

Urogi. [My Au version.]

In my alternate reality. Urogi can be seen as the demon of Joy. A Jovial, Giddy, Mischievous well-being karasu tengu that can deafen your ears with one loud sonic scream that he emits. Like his other brothers, he to can show more than his positive sides if things gets ugly in his view.

He gets on very well with his brothers, and very much best bros with Karaku. Due to him being the joyful emotion, it is no doubt that making such silly faces or any type of laughter will make his bros like him. [Besides Sekido cause many of his tricks. doesn't seem to work on him.] Urogi can also become their little uber pilot if they needed to travel far and are to lazy to walk their fat asses of the couch. Much to his struggles by their weight. Urogi would also be seen as the annoying clone due to his wretched bird sqwarking behaviour. And he acts like a bird to His bed is literally a nest. He is also useful as an alarm clock.

He is the 2nd youngest out of the bunch, even young he is the tallest due to his down body being consist of long yellow bird feet's. His personality shifts at time from a normal human hunter to a literal animal. He can eat anything in sight. In Sekido's view of him, Urogi is the dumbest and short brained when it comes to dealing with any questions or lessons on becoming a better demon.

He is known as the "Bubbly one." which we all may know why.

His sonic scream can go out for 100m in length. But when he gets stronger the length increases.

His wings are also use as his armour and blanket.

In secret. Urogi have the capacity of going into a full sugar rush if anyone have fed him candy. And when he's on a sugar rush, things will lead to a disaster. The last time, their house nearly got destroyed and Sekido was at his limits. The time would have last for 30 minutes but his lasted for 8 hours. And after that, Urogi got an ass whooping from Sekido. He also looses memories about his sugar rush.

Urogi uses his talons that can break anything.

Zohakuten. [My Au version.]

In my alternate reality. Zohakuten can be seen as the demon of Hatred. A young, spiteful, enraged and vengeful demon who can punch a wall with one bang from his drums. Unlike any of his brothers, Zohakuten manages to get a job to support his bros, even at a young age.

He hated his bros with a passion, other times he consider them as lazy slobs who can't fight together like a team and tends to fight by themselves. He occasionally gets on with Aizetsu due to his mental health, he rarely sees or be apart of his brothers adventure due to his overworking hours as a Soldier on expedition missions.

But some say that he sees Sekido as his mentor and guidances. Even if he says that he's better than anyone.

He is the youngest out of the bunch. But his age doesn't matter, only his intelligence that manages to get him more farther than his bros combine.

He is known as the "Aggressive one" which complies to him breaking a lot of bones. Also his brothers bones gets the snappy.

He carries around his trusty drums to give him the ability to control wood and to knock Enemies back.

HE'S also good at arm wrestling.

In secret. Zohakuten loves cats, he cherish them and feed them on the streets. He can also bring them home to look after before giving them away to either a loving family or just to keep them himself. Needless to say, he's a cat person.

[gglitch1dd]

hey! so quick question about “Blood and Fire” as a person who has their own culture do you think Katsuki and Ejiro would like to learn and experience the reader’s culture too? just imagine reader making food from her culture and sharing it with katsuki and ejiro i think that it’s so cuteeee

I totally know what you are saying Anon!! I too have my own culture (part of two similar yet different ones if I am to be honest) and I totally think that Katsuki and Eijiro would definitely want to learn all about reader's culture and things that make them... well... them!! Also sorry for answering this so late, I'm sorta busy during the week.

Okay now... This is a bit away from the story line that I have planned for Blood and Fire but I still want to make headcannons for this. Of course set in the Fantasy AU for it. Note: Reader has a unspecified culture. Just Domestic Fluff.

So Katsuki and Eijiro are absolutely enamored by you, you are their soulmate, their other third and someone they feel so entuned with that it often makes their head spin and their hearts feel full. Although they kind of did abduct you and force you into their lives and cultures.

You of course, have grown to love their cultures and their families and everything about them. From the way they are so entuned with one another too. You loved the Matriarchy that was the barbarian culture. How gender didn't define strength. You loved how strong and fearless they all were but how devoted they were to playing a part in their community. How devoted they were to each other and especially their families. You also fell in love with the dragons, and their hundreds of stories of long before your time. You loved their dances and songs, the way they always cared for their young and yet gave them enough space to explore and build themselves their own space too.

You loved the barbarians and the dragons.

Yet Bakugou and Kirishima realized that they knew really little about your own culture. But nevertheless, they still wanted to learn anyways. So that's what they did. They asked you and my what they weren't expecting from that.

From cooking dishes for them, filled with flavour and love that the people of your home would do for you when you were younger, to the stories that were passed down from generation to generation too. It often left them feeling so special and happy to know that you were willing to share your culture, share your space and the things you grew up, with them.

They sort of feel as though they now know you a bit better than they thought they could. They slowly grew to understand why you did they things you did or stories behind your morals or thought processes. It was interesting.

Bakugou loved to cook with you. Sharing recipes and trying them out together, was a highlight of his days often than not. It was filled with spices, bubbling pots and criticizing each other on the other's dish.

"Katsuki, you can't cut the potatoes like that." You tell him, pointing out his cutting skills. "They have to be wider."

Bakugou's face scrunched up as he looked to you. "But with such a dish, they would cook faster if they were smaller." He pointed out.

"We don't want to cook faster! Everything has to boil and cook together for a few hours."

"HOURS!?"

Cooking together was fun but Kirishima loved it the most out of the three of you, since it meant he got to eat anything and everything the two of you conjured up. He was more than happy to be your taste tester and your customer. He would eat anything you gave him, which in hindsight wasn't the best choice of criticizer but he never once complained.

Bakugou saw this as a sign of his supreme cooking skills.

With you and Kiri, the two of you could spend hours telling stories together. Old tales from long ago, sometimes about legends, about folk stories, love tales, children's stories. Anything and everything over the sun, and he would listen with wide eyes and an open mind, every single time.

"And that's why we celebrate on that day." You would conclude.

Kirishima tilted his head as he thought to himself. "But if the event happened the previous day, why celebrate the day after?" His constant questions and comments would always ensure that you knew he was listening and you had all his attention.

Overall, they would love to know all about your culture and what makes you, you. They feel as though they get to know you deeper and its a side to you, you don't often show. They would love it so much!!

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

Hi! I’ve been following all your AU’s since they started and I love all of them! I think my favorite is actually turning out to be the Kaiju au though. Seeing as that’s my favorite, I wanted to ask something about it.

So, you said that the fruit and even the soil on the island is overly fertile and nutrient filled, will Yuu, who is still only a teenager, get affected by their long term stay on the island?🤔 Like, will they grow differently, have their DNA or abilities altered at all? I would see them growing bigger than average, growing faster, getting stronger, just all of the human possible abilities that the Top Evolved of humans can achieve! Like being less affected by extreme weather, better eyesight, better hearing etc.☺️

I love your writing and am waiting very excitedly for more stuff to come out!😄🥰

If they aren’t taken can I either be 🍄 or ❄️ anon please?😊 Stay healthy and get plenty sleep! And don’t forget to drink your water! 🥰💙

Hello there, 🍄 Anon! :D ( ❄️ Anon is also acceptable since those hadn’t been taken yet)

That means a lot to hear that you love all the AUs, and that you’ve been following them since I started working on them! ;;v;; And I get it! The Kaiju!AU is starting to turn into one of my favorites, though I love all of them. >v<

Anyway, I did indeed say that the soil was very rich. It may not be kaiju related (though still has giant monsters), but I drew inspiration for the island from the game Monster Hunter World and how the island’s environment is constantly changing and growing with vibrant life with the migration of the Elder Dragons like Zorah Magdaros. If you’ve not played the game or beat the main story before it goes into the Iceborne expansion, I don’t want to spoil it too much because the mystery and discovery of it was the fun part (at least for me)!

Anyway, the soil creating such a nutrient rich environment for plant-life was developed through the magic influence of the kaiju that lived on the island over the years to sustain themselves. Yes, they do eat the prey species that dwell on the island or in the water (and as MIRA mentioned in the second chapter, kaiju can eat one another to grow stronger), but for the most part it’s easier for them to consume the fruits, berries, roots, etc. across the island as it gives them the same amount of energy—if not more—than just consuming meat.

That doesn’t exactly mean Leona in this AU is more inclined to eat his veggies though! 😂

Now, as for the effects that it has on humans themselves…well, you’ve also gotta keep in mind normal human biology. In most cases, boys will stop growing around 16-18 years old whereas girls will stop growing around 14-16 years old (according to Google, so now you know why Riddle looked up to see if he would still grow! 😆). However, you do raise an interesting point that there would be long term effects to Yuu (or any human) dwelling on the island for a long period of time the more they consume the food grown from the soil.

That being said, however, I’d imagine that because the long-term effects of the food are largely unknown to the researchers, they likely would have started cultivating their own food sources using soil they brought from the mainland. Sure, they have eaten the food on the island, but for the most part it was in emergencies as only select few are willing or even potentially testing to see the effects it has on the human body. Meanwhile, some people didn’t care and just went for it because hey, giant food that tastes great? Why not!

Effects wise though, the amount of nutrients that a human would gain from said island’s bounty would be akin to a “super food” times ten. Health wise, those who might have had problems either physically or internally would find themselves essentially getting “repaired” from the inside due to the magic/energy that essentially flows through the island’s ecosystem. The reason being for this is that—much like how Crowley said that rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help clear the built-up blot—the food on the island essentially helps to purge the blot in kaiju after a territorial fight. Hence, why the food can purge toxins and other unhealthy things in a human’s body—it treats it the same way as it would blot!

Now, it’s not a “be all, cure all” sort of deal, but pretty darn close given how tiny we are compared to the kaiju themselves!

Speed, strength, sight…it does help improve it in humans for sure, behaving like the super foods would and essentially leading their systems and body to a healthier lifestyle like having more energy to move around and do things and increasing cell regeneration to heal the body faster while they sleep. However, scientists have been observing the DNA samples of those who consistently consume food from the island and noted that the strains seem…healthier. Segments that once suggested a history of biological health issues have been either replaced by a new healthy strain or are simply…no longer there, filled in by a strange energy (hint: it’s magic, but there is a very, very, very small chance of the person developing magical abilities like the kaiju and may manifest in the family tree somewhere. In Yuu’s/reader’s case, though, you’re free to have fun with that as one of the lucky ones if that’s what you want!).

Yuu is definitely going to start developing some new physical capabilities the longer they’re on the island surrounded by kaiju and eating the food available, that much is true. But…that’s only the beginning behind what I have planned for our intrepid main character/reader. One I shall delve into lore wise as I progress in the chapters and random little skits~ >w>

That’s all I’ve got off the top of my head, and some things may adjust as ideas come to me! I’m still developing this world as I go now that I’ve got the base worldbuilding concepts down, and you guys are the ones who ask the interesting questions that get the ol’ noodle doodle brain thinking. It’s fun, and it delves into the speculative biology/evolution aspect of worldbuilding that I love so much! Keep throwing more worldbuilding questions at me, and I shall be a happy faun~! >w<

Thanks again for stopping by, remember to drink water and eat good food! :D

Also, in case you guys have never heard of it: speculative evolution focuses on hypothetical scenarios in the evolution of life, and a significant form of fictional biology. Think of it as how writers speculate the type of environment that an animal or a being lives in as well as how their biology allows them to survive and adapt to it or how they developed/evolved natural resistances over time! Like how giraffes developed long necks over generations to be able to reach the leaves in the tall trees, or how apes developed the use of tools to obtain food easier. 

[citrus-blade]

20 questions for Writers thing

I got tagged by the wonderful @mistythedritten! thank you!

How many works do you have on Ao3?

Sixteen! I added like 7 due to the Citrus Dreamnoblade Week lol

2. What is your word count?

250.818! honestly more than I thught lol

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Dream SMP! :] (I used to write for Good Omens on another account a bit ago but have abandoned this lol)

4. What are your top 5 fics? (stats)

I'll go by Kudos! :] Infinitesimal, Home, Treasure, Hiraeth - Part 1 and Chains! :]

5. Do you always respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! Sometimes when I don't know what to comment and it would just be a 'thank you', that i already wrote 3 times to a different person I won't. usually I try to always bring something unique to a comment to show how much I appreciate them!

However, when someone comments on a fanfiction that has long been finished I usually don't reply cause I'm not sure if that would be seen as weird or not. I'm really insecure when it comes to replying comments cause I don't wanna be annoying

6. Angstiest ending for a fic?

Oof... i think it's Home (but it's more on the bittersweet one) or Time. But if you put them next to each other it's deffo Time. Hubert is also kinda angsty but the story is kinda fast paced that it doesn't feel angsty lol

7. First Fic with a Happy Ending?

Golden! My first ever DNB fic and therefore also the first one with a happy ending! :]

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yeah! That's why I have to agree to comments for them to be public on my fanfictions! It's always anon and usually just people calling me names and slurs, trying to tell me what a horrible person I am lol

Can't really take this serious tbh

9. Do you write smut?

Yes! I really enjoy reading smut and also like writing it! I'm not good in it and I'm always frustrating a bit but I still enjoy it!

10. Do you write crossovers?

Ehhh, not really? But also yes...? I wrote a pokemon crossover, but I don't think that doesn't really count cause it's more an AU and none of the main characters of the anime/games appear except for Team Rocket. I think. I don't remember which villains I took, there are a lot.

I usually don't write crossovers because I'm unsure how good I can represent the other show. I'd love to write a Star Wars one or a Hogwarts one, but I am NOT into those movies and am too scared to write something that doesn't make sense. So usually I try to take apsects of those universes and try to turn it into my own kinda thing.

For example my Dragon Rider-AU that I am working on was supposed to be a Hogwarts AU with magic, but it kinda turned into it's own thing with focus on Dragons but still with magic! :D

11. Ever had a fic stolen?

Don't think so? If anyone ever sees any of my fanfictions somewhere that's not AO3 please tell me! But as far as I'm aware none was stolen! :]

12. Ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I think Infinitesimal was started to translate in two languages, but I'm not sure if that's still happening. I know some chapters were uploaded? And apparently someone wanted to translate Apocylapse into russian!

13. Ever co-written?

Nope! Don't really know how that works tbh lol

14. Favorite ship?

Dreamnoblade and DNF!

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but probably never will?

OOF. I have sworn to myself to always finish what I start to write so not sure. Some ideas probably will never happen, but usually when I start writing something I will finish it sooner or later, specially when I started posting it somewhere

16. Writing strenghts?

No clue, I don't know if I have a specific strength. Sometimes I like something I write and then I read it and hate it lol

17. Writing weaknesses?

FIGHT SCENES MY ABSOLUTE ENEMY!!!

18. Thoughts on dialog in another language in a fic?

I write in english but think about including german sometimes lol When Attack on titan can do it in their openings I can do it in my fanfiction! Usually I like it as long as the translation is given atp in the fanfiction! :D

19. First fandom you have written for?

OOF. Eeeehm. I think Good Omens. I orphaned all my stuff there though lol

20. Favorite fic you have written?

Infinitesimal and Home :] (I also like that pokemon one lol)

And that's it! That was fun! :]

I'm too insecure to tag someone so whoever wanna do this, do it! :]

[sankttealeaf]

Can we have more rue gortash headcanons please? I love them so much :)

OF COURSE sweet anon :D ask and ye shall receive 💛

gortash taught rue how to dance properly because the one and only time she danced at a ball it was a mess. (too bad she never got to try it out in a real setting with him)

speaking of balls - i deeply headcanon there to be some coronation ball after gortash is crowned archduke (the dragon age inquisition quest of a similar fashion is still in my head) and the two dance there, sharing ways in how rue is "definitely going to stop his plans" and gortash is "not going to let her unless she asks nicely". she puts her dancing skills to use here :)

been thinking about an au where rue doesnt get tadpoled and they get to live being evil rulers together too. they marry for "political purposes" (gortash knows rue wants to kill him and trusts her not to do it randomly one day). theyre horrible people who definitely spend the first few years tadpoling anyone important they can use for their own gain

also in the same au they'd have a family :) its the worst. (this au actually sucks because rue has the worst time of her life & gets nothing out of the arrangement apart from free reign to kill who she wants. there's something kind of heartbreaking that even in their "happy" ending, rue isnt happy. teehee)

rue "i dont want children ever im going to rip out my insides" durge vs enver "but what about my legacy 🥺👉👈" gortash. it doesnt matter. they will all die in the end.

anyway back to canon im going to leave it on a happier note for you

rue likes to cook! cooking is like murder but more methodical. (exploring this in the next chapter of my fic but-) sometimes she'll cook for her and gortash. only sometimes. 9 times out of 10 he asks her whats in it and shes like "flesh :D from an animal. not saying which one!" and he has to guess. one time he guessed wrong because she lied - there was no meat in the meal. just a lot of very oddly specific mushrooms she refused to go into detail about

they'd probably try and cook together a few times but gortash just gets in the way and she throws him out of the kitchen the moment he touches the wrong pan

(he has servants to cook for him. and rue now, i suppose)

theyre so silly to me

Hi!!! I'm another anon also working in my self insert for you au!!! Could you give me more info for the witch/er classes; Bloodwitch*er (is this the healer one?), Potionmaster, Conjurer, Summoner, Spellcrafter, Cursebreaker (??), Medium (undead magic could be here or in bloodwitcher, maybe Darkar??), Mindwalker/Dreamwalker, Artisan (like Artificer in D&D?). What about transmutation or nature (or that is covered by other fields)???

Hi, I'm sorry this took literal ages to respond to and hope you are still having fun crafting self inserts >.<

Witch*ers can be categorised in two ways: either by the price they predominantly use to fuel their magic, or by historical profession. Some of these categories overlap, let me get into some details below.

Price based categories

I have mentioned many times that witchcraft is a pay-as-you-use style of magic and each spell has an established price for which the Flow will actually execute it.

Most written witchcraft spells have a set price, a pre-defined method of payment that guarantees best result - or so many generations a witch has found it and why it has been immortalisied in a spellbook.

These are general spells that anyone with talent in magic can perform, even people who haven’t intensively studies magic. There are also high level spells with fixed prices written in spellbooks held by covens and passed on to their descendants. For these you need to be proficient in witchcraft (and be close enough to that coven to be entrusted with the tome).

Then the other class is the aspect innate magic that the witch*er makes up for themselves. Usually these are specific spells, trades that the witchcraft user negotiated with the Flow themselves. Here the witchcraft users preferred method of payment comes to shine and often defines the strength of their spells. The same outcome can be evoked by five medium level payment spells as one large one, but tell me which one is going to look more impressive?

A witch*er can of course also choose to pay with their preferred method for a generic spell, but why bother doing the maths when you can just rely on what is set out before you? It can be practical though, if the general price object is not around.

Here is an incomplete list (bc I always come up with more):

Bloodwitch: blood

Kinaestesiochore: movements, before or during casting of spell

Psychoplast: memories/ knowledge

Bonesmith/Necromancer: cultural difference in name, some bonesmiths truly only use bone; in some cultures Necromancer means they do raise the dead and is not considered a payment type

Spirit witch: spirits of living things

Chronopractician: time, steal others time or simply use up time by preparing spell

Heartbender: emotions

Mineralwitch: minerals

Herbetic: herbs and plant matter

Energy witch: any form of energy eg heat

Decomposers/Vulture/Materialophage: cultural difference in naming, decaying matter

Nocipion: pain, emotional or physical

Dragon: anything in value emotional or physical, usually used by witch*ers in service of others

With that in mind, certain Price-Aspect connections just don't make sense. Griffin is the Bloodwitch of Seismology:she pays for all her spells with blood and innately can affect seismic movements. Shilly, who is the Witch of Blood in my AU however would never become a Bloodwitch (not just because Griffin wouldn't teach her). Her Aspect influences blood, how stupid would it be to use it up as a resource for her spell, when that is the exact object of her innate magic? No, she focuses on potionology, which is a different expression style,

As another example for non-spellcasters, Lucy is also focused on potion based magic, in which she prepares tinctures to deliver enchantments, blessings&curses 1, remedies&maladies. SHe uses them for most of her general spells, however when interacting with insects, as per her Aspect, she gets by with what most people with an animal Aspect do, called Law of Good Husbandry. It just means they respond to her because she is nice to them and gives them food.

[1 Footnote: "spells" are magic with short term effect, "enchantments" are magic performed to alter characteristics of an object; and "blessings&curses" are the same, magic with a long-term effect, divided whether the afflicted gains a benefit or suffers from the effects of it]

-----

The second option is to be defined by what trade the witch*er practices, which can be much more simples, since most people practice a combination of any of the above techniques.

Oracle: predict future

Medium: interact with ghosts and spirits

Psychonaut: interact with brain of person, really in-depth neurologist essentially

Artificer: creates objects with magical charge/effect

Medicine woman? (ok listen I have no idea what the medieval profession of "old woman sells me st johns wort is called in english, but basically that)

Freelancer: they roam the lands and you can contract them to conjure a calamity to morally educate your people

Fabricator: creates material

Spellcaster: make spell or uses mainly spell

Potionmaster/Chemist: potions, again cultural difference

Several of these classes aren't even exclusive to witchcraft: anyone with magic sensitivity can perform them (most Oracles aren't even formally trained for example), just many are usually performed by witchcraft users and as such associated with them.

---

And as my final magnum opus: what everyone's combo is within butterfly AU:

Icy: Kinaesthesiochore of Ice (it's always a combo of movement and time with her)

Stormy: Bonesmith of Storms (using bones is her way of honouring her heritage, but she also does a great deal of kinaesthesis)

Darcy: Dragon of "Darkness" (it is waterpane divination, but darkness sounds edgier; she also uses spirits, psychic prices and pain regularly)

Griffin: Bloodwitch of Seismology

Shilly: Chemist of Blood

Lucy: Potionmaster of Insects

Mirta: Mineralwitch of Emotional Illusions (before switching, she didn't officially adopt this, but was mostly using rocks and crystals)

Helia: Artificer of Fine Dexterity Arts

Bloom: Energy witch of Emotions

Valtor: Bloodwitcher of the Dragon's Last Ember

Belladona: ??? of ???

Lyssis: ??? of ???

Tharma: ??? of ???

Selena: Herbetic of History, tho she is a historian by profession as well so...

Duman: Psychoplast of Animal Transmodification

Anagan: Kinaesthesiochore of Speed (in his case the double thing works out, he moves to be fast makes sense right?)

Gantlos: Spellcaster of Decomposition

Ogron: Nocipion of Energy Manipulation (nasty sadist)

Luna: Energy witch of Reflected Cosmic Light

Bittersmoke: Potionmaster of Eidetic Memory

Ediltrude: Mineralwitch of Astrology

Zarahustra: Mineralwitch of Religion (not every, just a subset)

Krystal: Herbetic of Healing

[ginnyrules27]

Hi Ginny! So I know this is odd since you posted the Halloween AU of the choosing series back in October but the thing is my country is one of two countries where we cannot access fanfictionnet and I only read it once while I was on holiday i overseas so could you cross post it on your other platform

Hey anon!

Normally I would but I'm a little wary since I use so much of the song in the fic. So instead I'm going to post it here! :D

--

Halloween was, without a doubt, one of Mal's favorite holidays. The other was April Fool's Day but nothing held Mal's focus more than Halloween. Maybe it was the fact that it was probably one of the few days where being 'wicked' was celebrated in Auradon or maybe it was just a Mal thing like how she loved jumping in mud puddles.

Whatever the reason, Ben was more than happy to arrange for a Halloween celebration after their marriage. After all, it happened to fall the same year as the twenty fifth anniversary of the formation of Auradon so why not combine two celebrations into one?

Ben had not expected Mal to dive head first into planning the party—after all he remembered how stressed she'd been when planning Cotillion. Then again, she had also been dealing with Natalie's abuse at the time whereas here she had all sorts of resources at her disposal. Much to his surprise, however, Mal would disappear for hours on end with Uma and Evie of all people.

At first, Ben thought it was just costume ideas or maybe even pranks though Evie didn't exactly seem like the pranking type. It wasn't until he overheard Mal asking Lumiere for advice on a musical composition that the pieces started to click for Ben.

Mal had something planned and, if he was honest, Ben couldn't wait to see what it was. As long as it didn't put anyone in harm's way of course, but then again he knew Mal wouldn't do that. She took pride in looking out for her subjects as Queen of Auradon after all.

He did try to see about getting a hint as to what she had planned but other than letting it slip that Fairy Godmother would be putting up a temporary magic suppression ward, Mal's lips were sealed. Uma and Evie's lips were just as sealed and even attempting to bribe his brother-in-law with candy didn't work as Hadie knew nothing.

Then again, Hadie might have known something but he also loved Halloween like the sugar fiend he was so he might not have wanted to spoil all the work Mal had put into planning.

The day of the celebration came and Ben had to admit, everything looked amazing. One of the ballrooms had been transformed to resemble a real live graveyard, complete with tombstone and cobwebs.

"Ah, Ben!" Fairy Godmother said with a smile upon seeing her former student and current monarch.

"Fairy Godmother," Ben said, returning the smile as he walked over to her. "I have to say I've never seen the ballroom look this good. Or this unmelted."

Fairy Godmother chuckled. "You'll have to thank your bride for that. One quick blast with her dragon fire and we were able to get this place ship shape in seconds."

"We?"

"Jane helped to set up of course but she went home to change into her costume. She's doing a couple's costume with Carlos, you know?"

"No I didn't but I'm not surprised. I had asked Mal if she wanted to do a couple's costume but she didn't. Actually, I have no idea what her costume is."

Fairy Godmother chuckled slightly. "I think we're about to find out. It seems that she opted for a group costume with young Uma and Evie."

Ben blinked in surprise before looking over at the stage. There, standing center stage with her hair pin straight but still purple and wearing an almost velvety looking green dress, was his wife.

Gods did she look amazing.

"I think I know now why Mal asked for the temporary barrier," Fairy Godmother said as she looked at Uma and Evie, who were flanking Mal.

"I don't…"

"Tell me Ben, what or who do their costumes remind you of?"

Ben paused and looked at Uma and Evie's costumes once more. Evie was wearing a dark purple gown that seemed to almost have a mullet with how the front was much shorter than the back, while Uma was wearing an orange dress that seemed to go well with her teal braids.

Then again, if Evie, Gil, or Dizzy had designed the gowns, Ben wasn't surprised. The VKs had such vibrant hair that only a seamstress of Evie's quality would be able to match a shade to avoid clashing with their hair.

"They're the Sanderson sisters aren't they?" Ben asked, looking back at Fairy Godmother.

"I believe so," Fairy Godmother nodded.

"But why would they need a temporary magical barrier?"

Fairy Godmother shook her head in slight amusement. For how smart Ben was, he seemed to need a minute to recharge his brain whenever he saw Mal in a way that particularly appealed to him. Which was pretty much all the time.

"Ben, the Sanderson sisters could do magic correct?"

Ben nodded. "Yes, specifically persuasion based magic as they were able to put others under their spell though use of song…Mal's going to sing and doesn't want to risk putting the guests under a spell isn't she?"

"By Jove I thought he'd never catch on," Carlos chuckled as he walked over; clearly dressed as a spotted Baymax and Jane was wearing Go-Go's superhero costume.

"To be fair, he's blinded by how Mal looks in that dress," Lonnie chuckled as she and Jay walked up. The two of them had also opted for a couple's costume—Lonnie dressing as Elizabeth Swan while Jay dressed as Will Turner. "I think Mal might have to put that dress into heavy rotation."

"Ah ba ba ba!" Jay said, going to cover his ears. "That's my sister we're talking about!"

"Honestly Jay, you don't see Hadie freaking out like this."

"Because Hadie doesn't even know we're having this conversation!"

Ben shook his head in amusement before turning his attention back on the stage. The spotlight was on Mal and it was clear that whatever they had planned was starting soon.

Hey just because Ben guessed they were going to sing didn't mean that was actually the case. After all, the last time Ben had heard Uma sing was at Cotillion where he had proposed to Mal—and that was years ago.

"Sisters!" Mal called into the microphone.

"You're looking rather pale tonight Mal," Uma said, somehow procuring her own microphone.

"Oh well thank you, I didn't even try."

"Sisters! Boys!" Evie exclaimed, pointing to the audience, and Ben really had to wonder where they kept finding these microphones. Though in all honesty it probably wasn't that big of a mystery. They likely brought them with them since the temporary barrier would prevent Mal from causing them to amplify the sound by magic and Ben was just blinded by his wife's beauty to pay proper attention.

"Alright sister Evie, that's for later," Mal said and Ben realized then that Evie was pointing to Doug in the crowd.

"Yes sister Mal," Evie said as Mal gently pulled her back to the center of the stage.

"Mr. Hook!" Mal called and Ben realized that Harry was on the piano. When the second child of Captain Hook even learned to play the piano was beyond him but none of that mattered as Mal began to sing.

"I put a spell on you…and now you're mine."

Gods, her voice is beautiful, Ben thought as he felt his legs carry him closer to the stage. Actually, he found himself standing right next to Doug for that matter, right in front of the little runway that was protruding from the stage.

Ben had to wonder if that had been the plan all along.

"You can't stop the things I do…I ain't lying," Evie sang, walking over to the center of the stage and Ben could see Doug keep his attention solely on her. Which was alright by Ben because his attention was solely on his wife.

"It's been twenty five years, right down to the day, now the witches are back and there's hell to pay!"

It was Uma's turn to sing and Ben knew that there was a good chance that if he wasn't playing piano, Harry would be just as focused as Ben and Doug were.

"I put a spell on you and now you're…mine!" The three of them sang and Ben had a brief moment of clarity that their voices sounded beautiful harmonized like that before his mind went back to being blank as his wife came walking toward him.

Granted, Evie and Uma also came walking toward him but Ben's focus was, as had been previously mentioned, solely on his wife.

"Hello Auradon!" Mal called.

"You like what you see?" Evie asked and for the first time, Ben noticed a group of background dancers on the stage behind the three singers.

"You'd better or we'll bury you alive!" Uma called with a cackle as Mal smiled at Ben before teasing him a little with her usual nose scrunch and a shimmy of her shoulders as Uma began to sing once more. "I put a spell on you and now you're gone!"

"Gone, gone, gone, so long!" Evie and Mal sang before Mal took Uma's place in the center.

"My whammy fell on you and it was strong!"

"So strong, so strong, so strong!"

Okay, I have to wonder how these three found time to rehearse this between Mal's Queen duties, Evie's business, and Uma's trading runs, Ben thought as it was Evie's turn to take center stage.

And judging by the look on Doug's face, the dress Evie was wearing would definitely make a return appearance at some point.

"Your wretched little lives have all been cursed 'cause of all the witches working baby—."

"I'm the worst!" Mal and Uma jumped in so that the three of them were singing at the same time. "I put a spell on you and now you're mine!"

You could never be the worst though Mal, Ben thought though he couldn't help but smile a little as he heard that. After all, there was a time where even thinking that would have sent Mal into an anxiety tornado of people potentially thinking that she was the next Maleficent. Her 'handler' hadn't helped matters there but thankfully she was a thing of the past.

"Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out! She ain't lying!"

"If you don't believe, you'd better get superstitious," Mal sang as she made her way back to the center. "Ask my sisters!"

"She's vicious!" Evie and Uma called.

"Thank you!" Mal said, almost sighing as she played with her hair before the three girls sang in unison once more.

"I put a spell on you, I put a spell on you, oh I put a spell on you!"

"Sisters!" Evie called.

"Here we go!" Uma cheered and Ben found himself wondering if they were really going to say the spell. Not because he doubted the strength of Fairy Godmother's temporary barrier but because he knew what the words were. And if he was honest, not many people in Auradon knew how to pronounce them.

"Ah-say-into-pie-oppa-maybe-uppen-die!"

"Ah-say-into-pie-oppa-maybe-uppen-die!"

"In-kama-koray-ah-ma!"

"In-kama-koray-ah-ma!"

"Hey, high, say bye-bye, bye, bye, bye, dance until you die!" The girls sang before ducking off stage for a bit. Ben did enjoy the dance break from the other VKs though he did find himself wondering once more when they all had time to plan this.

It wasn't as if Uma could plan a dance number while on the open sea after all. Well actually…if Ben thought about it, she did have her mental link. Though that would exclude Evie from the planning.

And Mal and Uma might have hated Evie when they were teens but it was clear now that any animosity was long gone. Granted, according to Mal, Evie once hit Freddy Frollo with a smoke bomb and that would guarantee good will from both the Godly cousins no matter what.

Ben had jokingly asked what sword fighting Freddy Frollo got and Mal had responded with 'a fiancee and then a wife' before leaning over to kiss him and causing the rest of the night to be a blur.

"I put a spell on you and now you're gone!" Uma sang as the three girls took their place back on stage.

"Gone, gone, gone, so long!"

"My whammy fell on you and it was strong!" Mal sang and Ben had to bite back a smile as he saw Harry stand up as Uma briefly glanced at her hand, having gotten it caught on one of the background dancers.

"So strong, so strong, so strong!"

"Your wretched little lives have all been cursed 'cause of all the witches working baby—."

"I'm the worst!"

"I am a very lucky man," Ben heard Doug mutter from his spot next to him.

"You and me both," Ben muttered back to him.

"I put a spell on you and now you're mine!" The girls sang, attracting their attention back to the stage in front of them. "Oh I put a spell on you! Ooh I put a spell on you!"

Ben watched as the background dancers quickly left the stage before it became just Mal, Evie, and Uma once more.

"Sisters, who wants to take this?" Mal asked before pointing to Evie. "Do you want to take this?"

"Sister Uma, please, you take it," Evie said.

"Oh no I can't, you take it," Uma said as she looked at Mal.

"Should I take this?"

"Yes sister Mal, you take it."

"Alright I'll take it," Mal said as the music began to build. "And now you're mine!"

The three girls held the last note for longer than Ben thought possible but upon further pondering, he found that he didn't know why he was so surprised. Two of three girls were Godlings after all so doing extraordinary things would be second nature to them.

"Thank you all for coming," Mal said, speaking into the mic after the music faded. "We hope you enjoy our Halloween celebrations. Now, go and have a wicked good time!"

The crowd chuckled and Mal, Evie, and Uma quickly made their way off the stage and into the crowd. It didn't take long before Ben found himself next to his wife, gently wrapping his arms over her shoulders and resting his cheek next to hers.

"That was a wonderful performance," he said, whispering to her.

"Oh really? Well I'm glad you enjoyed it," she told him, looking over to give him her infamous nose scrunch that only seemed to appear when she was particularly happy or amused.

"I did indeed," Ben nodded. "And I think Doug and Harry enjoyed it too. Though I have to know…how did you plan all of this?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out your highness." Mal teased.

"Well if I do find out, will you wear this outfit again your highness?" Ben teased her back.

Mal chuckled and held up one of her hands which was covered in a fishnet type glove that almost looked like spider webs. "Maybe for Halloween…and only for Halloween."

"Deal," Ben said, nodding his head. He loved his wife for multiple reasons—her kind heart, her protective nature, her ability to turn into a dragon—but he was still human and by Gods, did that dress look good on her.

Mal chuckled as she saw the look on Ben's face. "I have to say, if wearing this gets this reaction out of you Benny, then I love Halloween."

"I thought you already did?"

"One must stay consistent after all," she said and gave another little nose scrunch before going off to talk to Uma.

"Dear Gods, you gotta love Halloween," Harry said as he slid up next to Ben. And Ben had to agree with him there. Halloween was certainly a great holiday in his book.

Dear FFFX Author

Hi! Thank you for writing for me! I’m reconditarmonia here and on AO3. I have anon messaging off, but mods can contact me if you have any questions.

Dragon Age | Motherland: Fort Salem | Original Work | Redwall

General likes:

– Relationships that aren’t built on romance or attraction. They can be romantic or sexual as well, but my favorite ships are all ones where it would still be interesting or compelling if the romantic component never materialized.

– Loyalty kink! Trust, affectionate or loving use of titles, gestures of loyalty, replacing one’s situational or ethical judgment with someone else’s, risking oneself (physically or otherwise) for someone else, not doing so on their orders. Can be commander-subordinate or comrades-in-arms.

– Heists, or other stories where there’s a lot of planning and then we see how the plan goes.

– Femslash, complicated or intense relationships between women, and female-centric gen. Women doing “male” stuff (possibly while crossdressing).

– Stories whose emotional climax or resolution isn’t the sex scene, if there is one.

– Uniforms/costumes/clothing.

– Stories, history, and performance. What gets told and how, what doesn’t get told or written down, behavior in a society where everyone’s consuming media and aware of its tropes, how people create their personas and script their own lines.

Smut Likes: clothing, uniforms, sexual tension, breasts, manual sex, cunnilingus, grinding, informal d/s elements, intensity.

General DNW: rape/dubcon, torture, other creative gore; unrequested AUs, including “same setting, different rules” AUs such as soulmates/soulbonds; PWP; food sex; embarrassment; focus on pregnancy; Christmas/Christian themes; infidelity; unrequested polyamory; focus on unrequested canon or non-canon ships; unrequested trans versions of characters; breakups; jealousy; focus on grief; unequal levels of investment in a relationship (including concerns about same that turn out to be unwarranted), or the idea of a character accepting something they're unhappy with as the most they're going to get; characters who are written in a sexual context within the fic being ignorant about sex/anatomy (inexperienced is fine); the word "pussy"

Fandom: Dragon Age

Ship(s)/Character(s): Female Lavellan/Cassandra Pentaghast; Female Lavellan & Solas

Cassandra and Solas were my two favorite PC relationships when I played DAI this past year or so! Lavellan starts off as this confused and small and non-Andrastian prisoner who disagrees with Cassandra on so many things, but Cassandra puts so much trust and faith in her and so much on the line for her - even with Lavellans who are adamant that they’re not chosen, they’re just doing their best and they happen to be the ones in the position to make this choice. Cassandra is so proud to know her, and backs her up even when she disagrees with Lavellan’s choices! The romance scene is really cute between two characters who are adults and have a day-to-day working relationship that isn’t going to change (I used a mod to romance her with f!Quiz and let me tell you, lesbian Cass makes sense), but are still just having fun with how charming it is in a way that builds on their friendship. Not to mention their battling together, of course - the ways they can protect each other and fight for each other’s goals (and give Cassandra all the elven swords and shields! letting her bear those things for the honor of the elven Inquisitor…), how worried they sound if the other one gets hurt…whoops, I found myself another loyalty kink ship.

I'd love to read them on some non-canon or tangent-to-canon mission (and/or social scenario) that plays up Cassandra's honor and pride to serve the Inquisitor's goals and the Inquisitor's to have Cassandra fighting for her, or their confrontation of the past (the path that Cassandra starts down re: the Seekers or Lavellan exploring these landscapes marked by elven glory days and/or trauma - or post-Trespasser something!). I also have more prompts for shippy scenes in previous letters, but am at least attempting to suggeset plotty things here...

And my Inquisitor and Solas were best buddies - having him around as another elf (and mage, but especially elf) meant a lot to her, and they challenged but also supported each other - distrust of other institutions and nations yes, interest in the elven past yes, value of Dalish traditions and drinking from the Well of Sorrows maybe no... And, post-Trespasser, what exactly does it mean to be best friends with and sort of a mentee of Elf Satan (okay, it's more complicated than that) but also be of the mind that the elven gods and Dalish traditions have value and reality even if he's telling the truth? Let's find out. (My Lavellan is very tempted by his talk of restoring the world of the elves that once was.) Their final scene is so lovely and tender on high friendship, and I know I'm not going to get my post-Trespasser Inky&Solas friendship story from canon, so that is what I am especially keen on if that is the relationship you write me. How do they keep seeking each other out and hindering or, as applicable, helping each other?

My Lavellan uses the (default lol) name of Ellana, is a rift mage, sports a lovely buzzcut and vallaslin, has a lot of feelings about elf history (and visiting the Plains/Graves especially), and believes in elven gods and doesn’t care to pretend she’s Andrastian. No particularly special non-canon backstory; she's the clan's First, late twenties at absolute youngest, in no particular hurry to leave that life (and ends up invested in The Inquisition as an institution/faction in a way that she feels complicated about, but definitely blows it up rather than attach it to the Chantry). But don’t feel that you have to write my specific PC - I’m excited to read about yours too!

Fandom-Specific DNW: extensive canon rehash or a gift fic that follows the plot beats of a canon quest or quests; Cassandra as Divine; hurt/comfort related specifically to Lavellan's lost arm post-Trespasser (scenes where Lavellan has one arm are fine but I don't want anything that's specifically about Cass taking care of Lavellan after she loses her arm). If we matched on Lavellan & Solas, you don't need to ship her with Cassandra, but please don't ship her with someone else. Lavellan having complicated feelings about the elven gods is not off-limits given the parameters of late/post-canon and the request, but straight-up uncomplicated rejection of her gods or culture, of the sort that you can avow in some of Sera's conversations, would be a DNW for me.

Fandom: Motherland: Fort Salem

Ship(s)/Character(s): Original Historical Witch(es)

The alternate history that the show has created is so interesting and I’m craving expansion of that through fic! Tell me about the Bellweather ancestor who was a slave and ended up powerful and influential enough to begin a dynasty, and how she met and was recruited by Alder. Or other enslaved witches, witches in the American Revolution or the Civil War, or the founding of Fort Salem and standardization of American military magic with its various influences. How were these women able to teach each other and to win not only freedom but power? Were they able to get other enslaved women free via their own position in the military? What even was the original original witch military like in the 1690s and shortly thereafter, the whole process of making this witchery into a military; who were the key people involved?

Or Chinese or Jewish or Mexican immigrant witches (that wasn't an exhaustive list) who maybe came from different magic traditions and might have had to make the choice of whether or not to reveal that they had magic (if the system knows you because of your descent in the country?), serving their country but also binding their daughters and granddaughters forever. (I appreciate, for example, that there are a couple of Asian actresses in the cast and that some of them are even "High Atlantic" American royalty, but they all have English names - I want to know their families' stories in the same way that we have an idea of how influential Black witches were to the witch military!) What did they bring to the American magic tradition and what did they have to lose or sand off?

I'm interested in the many possible stories of marginalized/minority women and how those all fit into the fascinating worldbuilding that canon has given (also: lesbians?!), but any of the loyalty kink tropes I love also apply here given that you might well be writing a story about relationships (platonic or romantic) between soldiers and/or officers. I'm very into characters staking their safety on their superior or comrade's orders/judgment, valuing and saving and taking pride in their subordinate, saluting but in a way that is FULL OF TRUE FEELINGS, knowing how to wield the other person, trusting each other (including a superior trusting and listening to a subordinate who might disagree), etc.

Not that there's any need to include present-day characters as a frame story, but on the off chance you do, I do ship Abigail/Raelle, with Abigail/Adil as a particular NOTP and Raelle/Scylla as kind of a soft NOTP. At this time (August '22) I have not seen any part of season 3, hence the lack of prompts for any worldbuilding or history that might have come up in it, but I will definitely have seen all of it by reveals.

Fandom-Specific DNW: I didn't enjoy the overt eugenics plotline in season 2 and would prefer that nothing about breeding witches for stronger magic or particular traits (as opposed to any social reasons for arranged marriage and high society matching) be present in the fic.

Fandom: Original Work

Ship(s)/Character(s): Female Partisan Leader & Her Second-in-Command; Female Military Officer/Female Loyal Subordinate; Magic Wielder/Warrior Bodyguard Magically Bonded To Them (F/F)

I just love loyalty kink ;_; Trust in the other person's integrity or judgment even when the situation might seem otherwise, pride in serving together, needing each other in order to get done what they need to get done. When is the subordinate/second-in-command/bodyguard absolutely necessary and instrumental for their leader's plans? What is the backstory of their relationship - how did the subordinate decide that yes, this was the person that she would follow? Like, even if it's in a military context where they got assigned together, I mean, how did any of these characters decide that their desire to follow this leader went beyond them both having that relationship imposed from without. (I'm going to use female pronouns here sometimes but the partisan second-in-command doesn't have to be female; I'm only interested in shipfic if it's f/f but I love all the same tropes for platonic fic.) Does she trust her leader to risk her (the subordinate)'s own life with a plan that seems crazy? Does the leader defer to her subordinate's judgment or ideas for something? How do they talk about each other to third parties, with or without the other person hearing or knowingly hearing? What do they trust each other with that no one else can be trusted with? (I looooove all that quasi-objectifying "my/your right hand," "my/your sword" stuff, possessiveness, that sort of thing.) Other likes, besides the objectification and d/s-ery: competence kink, "call off your dog" trope, casual physical intimacy/awareness (fighting together, helping the other person dress or lighting their cigarette)...

Fandom: Redwall

Ship(s)/Character(s): Original Character(s)

Redwall is SUCH a nostalgia fandom for me - literally, my first fandom in the sense of something that I wrote fanfic for and sought out a fan community online. It was also possibly formative in terms of some tropes I’ve turned out to like (riddle quests! sad paladins! sieges and resistance!) Getting a Redwall gift would be so cozy and nostalgic for me. I’m in this for new adventures in the Redwall world rather than any particular character, but I do love Martin the Warrior a lot if you need a character as a jumping-off point, and also Grath Longfletch and Romsca. Anything you write that’s in tone with canon will give me the warm fuzzies, whether dramatic adventures or slice-of-life.

a cozy wintery story! A feast, or bundling up and skating on the frozen pond and then roasting nuts on the fire, or waking up to the first snow and seeing how it makes the Abbey and the surrounding woods look, or returning to the Abbey in the winter from a long journey/quest and being amidst warmth/friends/familiarity for the first time in a while…

a wandering warrior or pair/trio of warriors, driven to aid resistance movements against tyrants wherever they find them! What is the resistance doing and how does the warrior or warriors help? What is their backstory? Are they from the Abbey - an idealistic place of peace/justice/refuge, but one whose people sometimes engage in violence/war to ensure that peace and justice can exist - or somewhere else? If there’s more than one of them, what is their relationship to one another like? (For this prompt or other relevant prompts, I love loyalty kink - see my general likes for elaboration.) Or a hero who isn’t a wandering warrior/paladin, but someone being oppressed by the tyrant themself - how do they come to form or join the resistance, and with whom?

A quest (riddle-based or just puzzling out non-deliberately-left clues) to solve a historical mystery or uncover something hidden in the Abbey! (If you do go with riddles, I’d rather it be a situation where the riddles actually lead to something, like the Pearls of Lutra or OG Redwall riddles, rather than the ones in Taggerung where it’s about solving the riddles for the sake of solving them.) What answers or objects or secret hiding places are the characters looking for, and why have they been undiscovered until now - were they intended to be found much earlier but the knowledge of how to find them (or the knowledge that something was there to be found at all) was accidentally lost, is it a time of greatest need (such that people start following up on a known riddle-poem and/or researching the dusty old library tomes when they hadn’t before, or get their first clue in a dream)? Why/how were they hidden or lost?

A couple of other things I like in the series that I haven’t really managed to put into a coherent prompt: fulfilling seemingly impossible vows against the villains (like Martin destroying the fortress of Kotir as he said he would); knowing your home well enough to fight from it even as the bad guys encroach on it (as in siege and resistance plots); something about legendary heroes being flesh and blood people and something that ordinary folk can become, but still very much legendary heroes;…food…

I don’t expect (nor, I think, particularly want) shipfic, but it would be very special to me if the world of Redwall as depicted in your story had gay/bi characters or couples in it, even in the background, just in the same way that there’s plenty of background het in canon.

Fandom-Specific DNW: I’m fine whether you maintain canon’s division of animal species into “generally good” and “generally evil,” or ignore it and have good weasels and wicked mice mixed in with the rest - but I don’t want a story to be about that, either way. The existence of a monastic order in an abbey shouldn’t be taken to contravene my DNW of Christian themes (it’s a non-religious commune, and the Redwall Abbey-centric parts of canon are some of my favorites), but I still don’t want Christmas fic, so please, if you write any of the wintery prompts, don’t attach them to a holiday (including a fictional one). No smut for this fandom, please!

Thank you!

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

I SAW DRAGON ANON REVERSE AU THING AND THOUGHT OF IT BUT WITH MORE ANGST. I WANNA SHARE IT.

imagine if transformed reader is like getting more and more restless, like when we see childe motioning something to us we just tilt our head confused or we aren't interested in it. we only recognize like aether(+ paimon), childe, zhongli and hardly the knights of favounious. and when someone we don't know approaches us we growl, a warning growl. zhongli and childe can also tell because of the form we don't recognize human things without difficulty.

let's say that due to this our form starts to get more scary looking or just more fierce. claws sharper but long, our claws clicking against wood or cement whenever we walk, fangs also sharper but stronger. and due to the chimera form let's say that if we have the serpent tail (wich includes the head) some people can see how out tail starts to hunt, like catch small animals or the other head starts shrieking or growling (depends on the animal). but this only happens when we're on our abyss form.

and one day zhongli and childe take us fishing, and while our dear spoiled and more human moth knows how to catch fish properly (zhongli taught him to use a fish net again because let's say moth got a cold the last time he went to the river) but we take our abyss form and then we just pounce on the water and grab fish with our mouths and eat it right on the place. once we're full we just get out of the water and shake to not be too wet and go to the deeper part of the forest.

moth goes to follow us and rumbles for us, but when we turn our pupils are like showing full abyss corruption and our heads (depending on which animal they come from) also start sniffing at moth and growling for some time while we get closer to him to examine. we growl for a moment when we feel zhongli's scent but then we stop because we can sense the abyss aura on him and we go back to our senses and look at moth and we just purr at him and lick him. if we didn't came back to our senses the reaction wouldn't be different, the same but with more tough love. like actually giving a hard but yet loving bite or pouncing on him immediately.

let's say also that moth boyfriend was confused by another abyss creature and some new guards started to chase him and try to hurt him. moth shrieks, yelps and wailes; we hear him (also everyone because moth was just running to the city to get to zhongli or us) and when we hear him scared we go full feral and when moth is in a dead end and kinda scared because he doesn't know how to fly and the rest of the millileth are having no luck on persuading the new guards to let moth alone. WE APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE.

and we just go like *chomp* like and zhongli sees it all and is like "oh wow, some human basically disappeared. I HOPE IT WASN'T THE ABBYS CREATURE I RESCUED THAT ATE THE HUMAN" because we just pushed or yes ate, or just bite the guards. and we let like this chilling big roar and we calmly take childe with our mouth by his fluff (like when a lion carries her cub) and then we just start to fly/run towards the forest until we are in a cave or just in a zone close to the abyss. we see moth as out mate, our boyfriend and our feral side is like "must protect moth".

obviously some people are like in shock but others -with their lessons learned - are like they know we are restless but also we protect moth and zhongli. and the knights of favounious don't know what to do after this because they thought that we weren't going feral or more restless. but for the comfort we aren't in trouble but people do are more wary around us.

also to put more comfort but also kinda angst, since moth doesn't fly we just tend to climb trees so carefree-like and moth is like "🧍‍♀️🧎‍♀️" while looking at us from the floor because moth doesn't fly or just doesn't know how to be in the wild. so we just roar at him -more softly and less aggressive- to climb the tree but we loose our patience once in a while and we get down the tree and just grab moth by his fluff and we guide him to a mountain or a waterfall nearby and WE PUSH MOTH, because we want to see him try to use his wings or see if he really knows how to life in the wild. of course when moth gets scared or upset we go to grab him or keep him company but sometimes moth gets too scared or angry because he gets frustrated. and he just goes back to the cave to sleep the day away, we just whimper and follow him.

the next day moth wakes up with us basically SQUISHING HIM, like a clearly bigger abyss creature laying on top of moth while "snoring" (it's actually a VERY deep but profound rumble or growl) and just moving closer whenever moth tries to move because we're suffocating him, he's hungry, etc. because spoiled moth knows how to tick us off to get what he wants even tho we're in the forest.

I just imagine, like imagine reader going CHOMP to a guard and people are like "the woman was too stunned to peak" like "🧍‍♀️" but zhongli is like they were just protecting childe.

well anons it seems your wishes have been granted!!! i'm not the original creator of the AU, lovely 🐉 anon is the one who came up with it!! so usually i rely on them for more yummy brainrot about it but i will GLADLY accept it from other people as well because it's all DELICIOUS

yes,,,,, yes oh so much yes chomping someone to defend Childe YESSSSS. you're so on edge about being watched and kept mostly indoors that your moth boyfriend being threatened by some new guards just pushes you over completely- you literally RIP SOMEONE'S ARM OFF and shove Childe behind you, growling viciously at the guards if any of them comes close. someone runs to get Zhongli but you just scoop Childe up and run somewhere YOU think is safe

heh

heheh

i see your angst and comfort..... do you mind if i..... *sprinkles a bit more angst on there*

so think about this- moth Childe getting so frustrated and/or frightened that he darts back to the city to stay with Zhongli, leaving us behind crying out for him. he stays for a bit in the city but Zhongli is very firm about getting him to at least bring you back so you're not separated- Childe also misses you, regretting how he ran away so he goes back to look for you and apologize. but when he gets to wherever you took him to, you're gone, because Childe was really the only thing keeping you sane and in Teyvat. if he didn't want to be near you, maybe it was better for you to just go back to the Abyss so you wouldn't bother anyone,,,

[spectral-apparitions]

I've got a fun one for the spooky season! What would the main NSR characters dress up as for Halloween (assuming they celebrate it)?

Here's a fun fact, anon: I spent some time looking up Halloween celebrations worldwide, particularly paying attention to Malaysia, because I was wondering about this exactly. Seems like it’s mostly a Western thing with some different holidays observed elsewhere, so I’m not sure if these characters would celebrate it.

But hey, NSR is a fictional setting, so why not be creative? Or consider it an AU. It’s all just for fun!! :D

Spoilers for: Zuke, Yinu, Eve, and Tatiana

Mayday: She picks a different costume every year, going as whatever excites her most at the moment. This is usually some animal-like monster such as a werewolf or a dragon. She likes to dress up even if she isn’t going out! She enjoys staying inside and marathoning Halloween and horror movies, and eating all the sweets she can get.

She dresses up Ellie every year too! Sometimes she can find a dog or cat costume that fits her gator, other times she puts something together herself. Sometimes she coordinates their costumes - her personal favorite is the year she went as a dragon and Ellie as a knight.

Zuke: He’s the type to dress as a pun or as a historical figure. Sometimes he gets a little discouraged from having to explain his costume to people, but the people that do get it are impressed or get a chuckle out of it, so he’s satisfied. He tried coordinating costumes with Eve once, and while he enjoyed it, it wasn’t his taste of costume. Sometimes he tries matching with Mayday; they find funny pairs to do together or two halves of their favorite fictional duos.

Kliff: When he was younger, he liked to go to Halloween parties to socialize and listen to music. He liked making his own costumes by taking pieces of different costumes and combining them for a genre blend look, like a punk werewolf. And a few times he dressed up as his favorite artists (Kul Fyra a few times). These days he doesn’t go out or dress up as often. Occasionally if he finds an event he’s particularly interested in, he goes, and now he goes for an artist look alike costume.

DJ Zam: Puts on a Halloween special where his show is longer than usual and talks about urban legends and tells horror stories. He spends most of his time inside, so he doesn't dress up. But he does put on a tacky Halloween-themed button shirt. Also likes to decorate his home and office with cute and corny decorations.

DK West: Not one to dress up, so he doesn’t usually unless he’s going to a costume party. He goes with something easy and classic in such case. He’s a pretty darn good storyteller, and people know this, so sometimes at parties or just hanging out, he’s asked to tell scary stories.

DJ Subatomic Supernova: Not one to put in a lot of effort to dress, but still the holiday appeals to them. Shows up toting black cat ears and tail, of all things. Nobody expects this. Otherwise a black hoodie with a glow in the dark ghost on it. Sometimes changes out for other hoodies or shirts with a Halloween-relevant graphic.

His outfit may not be all that impressive, but that doesn’t stop fans from taking pictures and gushing online about how cute he looks. And Club Planetarium, on the other hand, is all decked out with ghosts and bats circling the ceiling, and a change in colors to purple, orange, and green, and blacklight. Featuring the eeriest and darkest tracks by DJSS.

It surprises a lot of people, but he will hand out candy for trick or treaters.

And he buys lots of candy for himself, too.

Sayu+team: Sayu gets a cute redesign each year. Previously she has been a vampire, a wereshark, a merwitch, and a few outifts that aren’t a character but simply an aesthetic. There are a handful of Sayu songs about the joy or the spookiness of the holiday, or about loving your friend who’s a monster. These songs get played a lot on Halloween night and surrounding concerts, but there isn’t a concert that’s solely Halloween themed.

The team themselves love dressing up every year, looking for somewhere to wear their costumes (and if not, at least for a photoshoot). Dodo likes object and human horror characters (esp puppets) and works hard to make a detailed costume and to copy the movements of the character, Sofa usually goes as an animal-like monster (and loves obscure ones), Remi usually is an anime villain or monster, Tila usually is an anime protagonist (and likes a fancy outfit). They stock candy and try to save it for Halloween night, when they likely make themselves sick from eating nothing else.

Yinu+Mother: Yinu goes trick or treating and picks a different outfit each year! When she was littler, her mother would dress her as a flower or a butterfly. But now, Yinu asks to be something like a good witch or a bat.

Her mother (and previously, her father) dresses up as something to match her, like a gardener. Her parents would make costumes or add on to ones they found, and as Yinu is a little older now, she helps with crafting too.

Other than on trick or treat night, Yinu likes to decorate. She loves carving or painting pumpkins (with her mother’s help, of course), and they roast seeds from carving.

Neon J+1010: Two words. Vampire. Coven. Each boy has sizeable fangs, the classic vampire cloak, and bat ears. They promise they won’t bite anyone too hard~

Neon J himself has a fancier looking cloak with a high collar, and bat wings, and carries around a shiny black cane topped with a golden bat. Since he doesn’t stay in the spotlight much, his staying behind in the shadows seems in character.

The stage doesn’t change much save for giant jack-o-lanterns. But 1010 has a list of songs all about comforting a frightened datemate or being lovable monsters to sing the night away.

Barraca Mansion is THE house to visit for trick or treat, you get cooed at by celebrities and king size candy bars.

Eve: Her brand of horror is psychological and it shows. She likes reading stories or watching movies about tasteful psychological horror during the season (she’s partial to poetry and short stories). She’s carved a pumpkin every year since a young age, and keeps up that tradition. Except now she usually has multiple pumpkins, carved and/or painted, and sometimes makes displays with them.

For dressing up, she has several outfits that she rotates each year. She goes for artsy, kind of abstract Halloween aesthetic. Her favorite components are dresses, intricate shoes, or interesting hairstyle + hairpieces. Her favorite designs to incorporate are spiderwebs, bat wings, and the colors purple, black, and white.

She likes to host a gallery or concert each year with some unnerving music of her own, showcasing some of her more off-putting art (she leans into expressing what seems the most frightening to her, which tends to be some abstract concepts),

Tatiana: She’s always been a fan of classic monsters, particulary feminine or feral ones. So, witch, harpy, werewolf, vampire, etc.

While she likes to change it up, she eventually settled as often going as a fire demon when she was Kul Fyra, combining punk fashion, some homemade horns, and some killer makeup effects, and of course her own fire powers, for a pretty badass look.

The Goolings never did specific concerts for the season, but a few of their songs would have a small spike in popularity as they had some spooky vibes.

Tatiana now goes for a gothic look, something tamer than how she used to be. She often goes now as a recognizable classic witch or vampire to office parties, or sometimes simply just wearing something black and old formal looking. She doesn’t discuss it much, but she still enjoys watching horror movies.

Tatiana happily hands out candy to kids (and occasionally the wanting adults), too. Plenty of people are intimidated to approach her house, but she’s kind to kids and has some awesome treats for anyone who shows up. Although she’s often busy keeping an eye on energy levels in the city with all the festivities happening.

florentis ; k.hj

requested by anon (24 + magic au) for my milestone celebration !!

pairing ; roommate!hongjoong x nature manipulator!reader (gender-neutral)

summary ; you find yourself getting a little too immersed in your book.

themes ; fantasy, fluff, superpowers au, roommates au, hints at college au

words ; 0.7k

warnings / includes ; no warnings, hongjoong being a sap, reader has cool powers :D

a/n ; this was super fun to write :D and it's my first hongjoong piece omg !!! i love him mucho :( thanks to @subways-stuff again for letting me ramble to you <//3

masterlist.

Fantasy has always enamoured you. The blazing dragons of the sky, the glinting swords of knights, and the soft pastels of elaborate ball gowns never failed to send you into a dreamy haze. It was the longing for a life you knew you couldn’t have, the sweetest of romances between forbidden parties, the thrilling action that had you gripping the book so tightly, it was a wonder its spine didn’t split into half.

In fact, you were so immersed in the story of the princess and the knight that you hadn’t even realized your powers had gotten the better of you. Vines snaked up the walls and ceilings, crawling out of your room and into the hallway. Small wildflowers blossomed by your nightstand, but you had yet to notice.

You let out a breathy laugh as you rolled over on your bed, not once ripping your gaze from the inked words, drowning in your thick woolen blanket. With this action, leaves sprouted from the vines and criss-crossed over your bed. Within minutes, your room started looking more like a forest than a place of slumber.

Finding your nose buried between the pages of a book far too thick for his liking wasn’t an uncommon feat for Hongjoong. Finding his laptop shrouded with greenery and roses, however, was not. His narrowed gaze traced over the vines leading out of his own sanctuary and into the hallway, confirming his suspicions by twisting right into your bedroom.

He pushed away from his work desk with an amused sigh, careful to sidestep the plum-hued orchids in the midst of fluorescence by his feet.

“You have a peculiar way of luring people into bed with you,” Hongjoong murmured once he ducked under the canopy of leaves decorating your doorway. “While I appreciate the flowers, I do have a paper to finish.”

In an instant, your irises snapped away from the worn pages of your book, finding solace in your roommate’s entertained gaze. It took you a second to realize the repercussions of your slipping reign over your powers. The green was hard to miss, after all.

“I am so sorry.” Your voice came out far smaller than you intended it to, but you slanted your lips into an apologetic smile to make up for it. “I didn’t realize.”

Hongjoong shrugged it off lightly, a smile of his own playing at the corner of his lips. It relieved you to see that he wasn’t actually mad. He meandered over the foliage and sat beside you on the bed, raising an eyebrow at your book. “So you didn’t send me those flowers on purpose? I’m offended.” A faux gasp of indignation escaped his lungs, but ultimately betrayed by a striking grin.

With a scoff, you nudged at his shoulder with your own. You placed a bookmark (also your receipt from your last grocery run with Hongjoong) where you left off and pushed the story to the side. Bringing both your palms together, you conjured a singular, minuscule canary buttercup, its petals falling soft against your fingers. Hongjoong watched in muted awe. Nimbly, you slotted the flower behind his ear, smoothing your thumbs over his faded clementine hair, trailing over his cheek. He shut his eyes at your gentle touch.

Had you gone too far for a roommate? Your fingers curled in on themself, and you reluctantly pulled your hand away.

Hongjoong seemed mildly disappointed when your warmth retracted, but he cleared his throat and the twinkle in his eye came back just as quickly as it disappeared.

“There. You happy now?”

“It’s small.”

“Seems fitting,” you teased.

Hongjoong shot you a spineless glare. “Don’t even start.” He looked oh so pretty with that flower behind his ear. He was also pretty without the sweet blossom, but you weren’t quite sure you were ready to admit that to yourself just yet. The both of you fell into a comfortable silence before he spoke up once more. “You know, the paper can wait. That book must be pretty good to make you lose this much control.”

A warm flush spidered through your skin, and you reached over to grab at the frayed book once again. “You want me to read a bit to you?”

“Nothing would be better,” Hongjoong quipped as he laid down, sinking into your plush pillows, inhaling your fresh fougere scent and enjoying this moment a little more than he should’ve.

*hands you an AU dump to hoard like a little goblin handing a small coin to a dragon*

OKAY so basically: after the doctor's visit where Izuku learns he's quirkless (I hc that they went when he was about five n' a half), Inko does a little bit of research on quirks and more specifically on her son's notebooks, learns that he's even more brilliant at quirk analysis than she originally suspected, and (after looking at some not great quirkless statistics) she instead informs Izuku that no, he's had a quirk all along! It's an analysis quirk!

So she updates the quirk registry, and Izuku goes through his life believing he has an analysis quirk, albeit teased for being a late bloomer, but he still can't shake the insecurity being quirkless for that one and a half year gave him.

He does research on all sorts of things, hacking, knife throwing, first aid, and building his own support gear and takes to all of it like a duck to water. He also does research on UA's policy for support gear in the entrance exam (cause surely they've gotta have a policy for non-offensive quirks like Koda and Hagakure) and finds that he can take one with him if he builds it himself. He goes fuckin bonkers.

Anyways: he trains with Katsuki, cause they're relationship is pretty good since Izuku has a 'quirk.' They both demolish the entrance exam. (Also Izuku kinda swears a lot because Katsuki rubs off on him)

Aizawa doesn't notice a goddamn thing is amiss until the battle trials on the second day (he decides to shadow All Might that day), where when he was using his quirk to silence his students while Izuku was rambling, he just didn't stop, as if he didn't notice anything was wrong. It happens again during the USJ.

So at some point during the sports festival, Nedzu (who is now intrigued because of Aizawa's complaining) invites Izuku into his office during a free period and lets him go ham on analysis, all while Aizawa is secretly there erasing Izuku's 'quirk.' Nedzu invites Izuku to be his personal student (making Aizawa go grey), he says yes, and then Nedzu drops the absolute BOMBSHELL that Izuku is actually quirkless. Cue an existential crisis.

(Also Izuku gets captured at the training camp alongside Katsuki because of his "analysis quirk," wonder how well that goes for him~)

- Goblin anon (sorry this one was kinda long)

GOBLIN?? DUDE???? HOLY SHIT I KNEW YOUR AUS ARE ALWAYS PHENOMENAL BUT THIS RIGHT HERE??? D U D E

i misunderstood the prompt a bit but i genuinely don’t know how to backtrack, so here you go goblin. sorry again o(TヘTo)

ok first of, inko taking on a stronger stance to support her son? love that of her. like, she doesn’t say sorry when izuku turned to look at her and cried that he can’t be like all might. instead, she took him in her arms and assures him that he will be a great hero. at first, of course half of it is lip service because she doesn’t know how to help her quirkless boy be a hero, since, you know, heroes need quirks.. (or do they)

and then she comes across a quirkless self help group which rang many many warning bells in her head. what kind of life do quirkless people live when a google research of them resulted in subsequent pages of results like how to stay safe when quirkless, or how to find jobs when quirkless, or quirkless mortality rates?

she fears for izuku, until she notices that her son’s smart. too smart for his age, but inko thought she’s just being biased. but izuku’s wit is something many people notice, for an instance, when izuku goes to the park to play and his friends’ (the few ones who stayed) parents tell her that her son’s smart for a quirkless person, she realizes that izuku’s wit is far more vast than normal.

then a thought worms into her head but wouldn’t it be bad to lie…but also, no one would be any the wiser.

further pushed by all the statistics she keeps seeing, or the lack thereof, about quirkless people, she makes the decision and pours it to izuku.

izuku who’s far smarter than his age and understood what his mom is asking from him. izuku who already saw the disparities between quirked and quirkless people at the tender age of five. izuku who knows what it means to lie about something as personal as a quirk, but realizes that it’s necessary for him to do so if he wants to live a “normal” life.

so he agrees; he tells inko that he’ll work even harder to sharpen his mind, and to keep expanding his knowledge.

when izuku’s quirk file is officially updated, he watches how his peers and teachers revert back into treating him as izuku. he regains his old friends, but he chose to drop them because he doesn’t want to surround himself with people who thought he was less for being quirkless.

katsuki stayed, surprisingly. katsuki stayed and everyday he kept bothering izuku to “get your quirk already!” katsuki stayed because he can’t fathom that the smartest boy in their class (of course not as smart as him, psshh) is quirkless. deku couldn’t be quirkless. (but if he found out that izuku, indeed, is, i wonder what would happen…)

katsuki was one of the loudest to celebrate when izuku announced that his quirk arrived.

“finally!” he screams and bothers izuku about the semantics of his quirk. he really wasn’t surprised to find out that izuku has an analysis quirk because he thought that nothing else would better be suited for izuku.

he doesn’t know that izuku pours so much of his time into learning and studying, often bypassing basics and intros to take more of the developed courses that are usually recommended for older ages. he doesn’t know that izuku is just a naturally smart kid with the ability to fill the gaps of his young mind with knowledge upon knowledge, storing and stacking them until he feels that he’s laid a sturdy foundation for his fake quirk.

then izuku began threading into different areas. he learns how to get into cyberspaces; hacking into accounts and delving more into how to access private information. he doesn’t thread too close lest he gets caught, but he learns the logistics of maneuvering around the web and burrowing in empty spaces to branch out his own. he creates and designs web algorithms for himself, just so he doesn’t trigger anyone who is looking into the web movements. he hones this and uses it to access more information.

then when he deems it enough, he turns his attention to something more tangible and something more physical. he learns other ways to be a hero; how to fight without a physical quirk, how to win against bigger opponents, how to use analysis quirk in fights.

izuku becomes more than a fake analysis quirk user; he creates it.

mental quirks are hard to describe, more so to compress, thus he creates new definitions of an analysis quirk. what used to be a silly lie is now a tangible fact that izuku believes in. because what makes a quirk? because what makes analysis a quirk? he learns these semantics (often political) and uses it to his advantage.

then he finally threads to hero analysis. at first it were classmates he analyzed; eyes running quickly at their forms and watching with great interest before calculating everything he’s seen and transversing it with the things he learned, and bridges these two facts together to create an analysis. it was a struggle at first: he didn’t know which to put emphasis on until he realizes, he doesn’t need to. he weaves them together and lets his analysis run long and watches how his hobby comes into fruition.

following his classmates are current heroes. these were more tough and more fun, and any of the information is less shared. he doesn’t tell his classmates or teachers about his analyses, only katsuki. and katsuki’s breath hitch every damn time at izuku’s talent quirk.

it is in their second year of middle school that midoriya begins to incorporate the facts with himself to create physical performances. the issues and things he learned through observing are now practiced by himself. he calculates the best way to fight with a body as petite as his, often taking examples from pro-hero hawks and other women heroes. their agilities and physicality suit izuku’s young body; he doesn’t see the merit in punching his way through things when he physically cannot.

so he learns ways to ease his muscles. he learns ballet and gymnastics; lets his muscles contort and mend themselves anew. he finds his balance and roots himself firmly, and learns to calculate his actions so he doesn’t waste his energy. katsuki doesn’t say anything, but he sees izuku’s dance and falls in love.

then in the spring of their third year of middle school, izuku learns how to build and handle weapons.

this is the easiest. izuku learns that weapons aren’t tools, but extensions of his arms and hands. they are not to be revered and not to be depended on because they can fail. instead, he learns to wield weapons as though they are parts of his bodies. he learns how to use swords and often narrowing to wooden sticks that can be picked up anywhere; he learns how to fire guns and how to hide daggers in his uniform. he learns that his body is the best weapon to use and that tools are just arsenal to help him win.

then he learns how to build them.

by summer, izuku begins reaching into UA’s servers. they are hard codes to crack, but not impossible. it takes him five days to access old entrance exam videos. the next day, the videos are snuffed and he is left to try digging deeper into UA.

he fails.

nezu must have caught onto his codes and proceeded to build walls against it.

so he slithers out. but a five minute video of last year’s entrance exam is enough for izuku because he learns two things: one, heroes must defeat villains and two, heroes must save others.

izuku prepares for this. unknowingly, katsuki is taught these same principles. katsuki would grumble and tell him that he knows what heroes must do, but izuku continues to hammer it down to him.

by the time of the UA entrance exam, izuku falls into the ease of having a fake quirk. he passes the written exam with flying colours and although it took three teachers to approve his support gears (present mic had to pull in powerloader, midnight, and hound dog to ensure that the well designed support gears are made by the hero student examinee and not by a support student examinee. majima saw the works and begged nezu to allow izuku to be his student.), izuku still succeeds and dominates the entrance exam.

when the zero pointer was released, he had flung himself towards the girl crushed by debris and yanks her out. he doesn’t waste a modified grenade to explode the zero pointer because through his calculations, doing so would not only create more collateral damage, but would also endanger the examinee in his arms because she still would be caught in the crossfire.

nezu hums in appreciation from the screening room, after all, smart minds always do think alike.

izuku gets a whopping 92 in the physical aspects of the entrance exam.

katsuki gets 85.

aizawa gleefully takes them in.

izuku thinks that no one will ever know of his and inko’s secret, but one look at nezu’s beady eyes and he knew that the stoat knew. it became a game to them, then. a game to see who else would realize.

and while izuku is smart, he doesn’t realize that nezu has basically taken him as his personal student the moment he and izuku had created a bet.

it takes two months for aizawa to figure things out. surprisingly, he is the only one to do so and he only realizes due to the many untimely attacks of LoV.

——

how angst would it be if katsuki realizes that izuku’s always been quirkless during their captivity in the LoV’s hideout.

Do you have any recommendations of fics with stucky that doesn't have try to convince me that the sun shines out of Miss N@zi-hirer ass?? I am soooo frustrated with this lately, honestly, I start a fic I get to the part where they meet and the writer tries to convince me that the sun shines out of her ass, she's beautiful, she's powerful, she's the girl for steve if bucky didn't existed, and then Steve gets confused because he wants to f*ck both of them or he does, and she's like the part that was missing on their relationship and stuff and I am so fucking tired, there is this amazing fic I am reading 'If they haven't learned your name' and is really cool honestly but she's described exactly like that and I am dragging my feet to finish it because I don't want to read this, honestly I couldn't read NEC and it's like one of the most iconic fics in the Fandom but my patience for her just went down the drain, so can you recommend me something? Hope your dogs are better.

Anon I’m so sorry it took me so long to get to this, I’ve only just found it now!

(And thank you for your well wishes for my dogs, thankfully they’re all fine.)

I really understand your frustration but I’m sorry to say I’ve built up something of a callous for it, so I can’t tell you specifically whether most fics mention her or not? 🤔 (I’ll try tho; see below)

I do however have: 

this search set up on AO3.

(with stucky as main ship, excluding pc/sr, pc&sr, minor pc/sr, past pc/sr, bamf pc, awesome pc, pc/sr/jb, etc. as many as I can think of!)

Another possibility is to open the entire fic and do a CTRL-F for her name, and if you get a hit (and if so how many), don’t read it. 

I’d say AUs are your best bet, and also fics tagged Gay Steve Rogers.

Alternatively, (and this one is even more high maintenance) you could download and find+replace to get rid of any references to her (or replace her name with another character’s). If Disney are allowed to wipe out their characters’ pasts, why not us?

.

Here’s a small random selection I’m pretty sure either don’t feature her or only do so in a non-complimentary way:  

misdemeanor Some cop, unlucky enough to pull over Captain America of all people: Sir um could I see ur... uh... license? Steve Rogers, someone who never bothered to get one: ....no

pull apart the dark All in all, Sam really wished they'd just killed Steve, instead of turning Captain America into a baby.

A is for Aesthetician Or, the AU in which Steve is a medical aesthetician specializing in laser scar treatment, and Bucky is his patient.

a love of my own Bucky Barnes, three years out of the Navy and two years out of work, finally agrees to take his sister's old job as an advice columnist at a local paper. There, he meets Steve Rogers: cartoonist, smartass, and the source of more problems for Bucky than any letter from a love-lorn Brooklynite.

a memory like a haunting Or: Steve wakes from a nightmare only to find that Bucky no longer exists.

art nouveau Steve's on the worst date of his life. At least the bartender's cute.

never talk to strangers or; How a Forgotten Childhood Lesson Led Bucky Barnes to Appreciate Charlie Chaplin, Befriend an A.I., Slip on Soap Bubbles, Be Mistaken for a Succubus, and Try to Woo a Superhero.

critical miss(ion) When Bucky messes up on his second solo mission as Captain America he expects a lot of things – a write-up, extra paperwork, remedial training. Heck, even being fired. What he doesn't expect is being told to play Dungeons & Dragons. Featuring the Avengers as Family, D&D games, and a whole lot of snacks.

who invited you? Bucky and Sharon agree on one thing: they can't let Peggy get away with this. They have to unite against Peggy Carter.

it's just a jump to the left It really sucked that Steve had chosen to stay in the past with a woman he barely knew. Bucky just couldn't understand it, and he complained to his pals over a drink. So Cable lends Bucky his time-travel device to go fix the timeline.

call your girlfriend (it's time you had the talk) Natasha is out shopping for a dress and she drags her gay best friend, Bucky, along with her.Then they get a surprise visit from an angry woman claiming Bucky has slept with her husband.Things all sort of unravel from there.

getting away with murder Bucky really likes Steve, and he likes Steve's home. He doesn't particularly like Peggy, so he makes plans to do away with her and take her place. (or, the Bucky-murders-Peggy-comedy that several people asked me for, lol)

in which peggy is not the right partner for steve WARNING: This story is extremely anti Peggy Carter and anti Steggy. Do not read if you are a stan of Peggy or Steggy. You won't like it. After Peggy shoots at Steve, she finds he is giving her the cold shoulder. When she confronts him, Steve Rogers makes it clear to her that the right partner would never be violent or threaten violence to the person they love. 

.

ED: @barnes-rogerss came thru with a great list for you, too!

Hope that helps!
