Hi! Uh... not sure you recognize me, but I basically wrote a fic inspired by your 'Harbor' (which was my first proper fic?)

The reason I'm sending this ask is cuz of... you're writing!

It's just- so brilliant! I mostly stick to fanfics in the batman fandom and I can't believe that in just a year you managed to write up all those fics! The dedication is 10/10.

But really, your ideas are what hooked me in. They're unique in ways and they're also so curiosity-building that I can't help but click onto ur fics on ao3. And then, your writing is what just keeps me going through word by word, chapter by chapter, fic by fic. I especially love your celebrity bat-waynes series. It's so fun and heart-anguishing at the same time! Seriously, my heart was twisting for Jason.

I love the batfam whumptober timeline. And ik I keep repeating this, but the flashbacks Jason had in the last chapter of one of the fics (Cant remember the title, but clearly remember the pain) including the "After a fall like that, I'm gonna have to call you Timber" still makes me squeal and cry at the same time. I also recently read zugzwang (is it called that?) and Ah~ the feels~. The way you wrote that - the writing - was so interesting and incredible that I still clutch my heart in my room and squeak because ohmyGod,poorDick,poorJason,poorTIM,thelittlebabies,noooooo,Dami'stooyoungforthis,IloveSteph,Bruceeeee,goBabs!Myheartttttttt. The brain factor? Incredible✨. Love it when there are fics with thinking involved. A+++

Your writing (is there a better synonym for that? Cuz I think the word's getting too repetitive) is just so amazing that, as a writer, I get so freaking inspired. So much that my second fic was inspired by yours cuz Ijustloveitsomuch! It still continues to inspire that even through my writer's block/burnout, after reading zugzwang, I am yet again inspired to create a work after that (I love thinking, there's going to be so much thinking, I love your character thinking, therefore your thinking too) and... uh, idk I just want u 2 know how inspiring you are.

I know I wrote paragraphs and paragraphs, but I still have sm to say! I could deep-analyze that stuff. Your fics make me so happy, so from one (hopeful and admiring) writer to another (inspiring and amazing) one, (if you are able to) keep it up and soak in the happiness brought from your stories whether it is as much as mine (the happiness) or even more. Because you deserve it, dear sprite. You deserve the happiness of writing and the good thoughts from readers.

(I hope I didn't make this self-centric, I just wanna tell you how good you are 😭)

And since this is an ask, may I ask exactly where the heck you get inspiration for such amazing ideas?

OMG HI!

I can't lie I was tearing up a lil as I read your ask, being told that you're someone's inspiration is like the best feeling I as a writer could ever have! And I do remember that fic! ;)

Eeee *squeals, runs around, flaps hands, dives onto bed giggling* I'm so happy that you like the ideas that I base my fics on! Premise is so crucial as a writer to get right, and I'm glad that other people want to read the stories i want to write.

Ooooh, that fic was Throw Away My Faith ! I remember cackling and sobbing while writing those flashbacks, and DEFINITELY screaming too when I wrote every chapter of zugzwang. Balancing hurt and comfort (and crack! for celeb bats) is very fun and also very tricky. and i usually lean closer to angst lol. oops.

(don't worry, darlin' there is no crime to reusing the right word :) ) And I am SO GLAD that my writing helped you out of writer's block/slump! Like what!? That is so fantastic, bc believe me, i have been there too and it sucks, so it means so much to me to be able to help!

Thank you so much for your paragraphs! I love it, 100% To me rambles are like, the purest form of expression bc they're just so GENUINE and they make me grin so wide. I can assure you I get so much joy from writing, and that joy just increases whenever someone says my writing made them happy. (wasn't self-centric at all!)

Where do I get my inspiration? Lord. zugzwang (since you mentioned it earlier) came from a pinterest prompt about a generic hero and villain playing chess for the hero's loved ones. I'd say a lot of my inspiration does come from prompts, especially events and such. But usually its too broad, so I have to combine things and set limits on myself, kind of. Sometimes real life will inspire something, although I exaggerate the hell out of it bc fiction (adopt a rescue is the best example there). other times i'll be writing, then veer way left on a tangent and ultimately decide to make it two fics. other times i'll ponder canon and say "lets explore a what if here" and then, like ona post below, sometimes there's just a tiny moment or dialogue line that i want to write, and so i have to work a plot around it.

idk i rambled there quite a bit, but the honest answer is i can't pinpoint where my general inspiration came from. If you name a fic, i'd probably be able to say "oh, yeah, that was this prompt," or smt, but i get inspired in so many different ways. and inspiration has context for me. the prompt "tearful goodbye" for example or the concept "bats take buzzfeed quizzes" will give me wildly different ideas if you catch me at a different mood, day, or after/before some event.

last, i'd be remiss without mentioning the many prompts/requests readers have given me. i love doing those, bc they're usually things i'd never have come up with.

Thank you so much for the ask, it really made my scribbly writer heart so happy! <3

Ahhh ! I love the knife play+lilac entry! Thank you! And the moodboard? Absolutely fucking gorgeous! I can imagine just cooing and teasing him for anytime he’d tense up or breathing would hitch. That tongue bit was amazing! Just thinking of of teasing him by saying that you’ll “Kiss it better”, by making out with him and tasting that blood. And he’s just gasping into the kiss when he feels that cool knife blade ghost across his skin.

Eeee! I'm glad you liked it! Shinso honestly was an instant match. There's a fan art of him with the spilt tongue thing that just haunts me daily. Then you sent in knife kink and I just couldn't help myself. I'm happy you liked it!

As for the way the brain went brr....

cw: blood, blood consumption, knife play, gore ish imagery

Mmm the tear of that pretty tight hero costume on him. Shredding fabric under the sharpest blade that's up turned so he can watch the fibers give way under your blade. Just like his skin would if he isn't careful not to move when you tell him to. Pressing the cold metal to his thighs and watching him squirm.

Naked Shinso isn't enough. Not when he's pale milky skin beads up so well under just the lightest scratch.

When he whines about the nicks in his pretty skin. Knowing he'll never tell you to stop but whining none the less. That's when you press the blunt side of the blade to his lips. Telling him to kiss it like he means it or get worse.

Shinso lavishing his tongue over the metal. Streaking it with his spit while he carefully stays away from the sharp edge. His glossed over lavender eyes almost hitting euphoric measures when he groans under you. Scent of blood accumulating between your two bodies but simply not being enough. Slipping just the tip of the blade against his tongue and watching the blood seep into his saliva. Coloring his mouth red. Coloring the spit drooling from his mouth just as red.

Before he can complain or speak just sealing the wound with your own lips. So his blood pools in his mouth and coats your own tongue wrestling with his. Shinso groaning into the moan and throbbing against your leg like the real perv he is.

Knife in hand. Pressed to his delicate skin as he seeps blood into your mouth. And he's still throbbing hard like a whore.
