For the writing asks: 1, 5, and 18!

Hi!!! :D

1: How many words have you written this year?

This is. A very difficult thing for me to quantify because I am also in academia and write A Lot for essays/assignments, poetry, personal projects, ect.

If we're counting only published fic, I wrote 66,713 words as of the answering of this message (wowza that's a lot!!).

If we're counting published fic, currently unpublished WIPs, academic writing, and random other stuff, I probably wrote more like 120,000 askdjfdfsh

5: What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?

Practical Ethics for Heroics Students ! This is such a niche, nerdy worldbuilding concept, and I really expected a grand total of no one to be interested in it. I also expected it to be kinda difficult to comment on, because nothing really happens in it, lol. I was shocked and excited that people enjoyed it!

18: The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Hmmmm. In OP, I always find it very difficult to get in the head of both Luffy and Roger — both of them are very easy to write from the outside, but harder to write from the inside, if that makes sense. I discovered that I have similar problems with Yaoyorozu in bnha for some reason, which is weird because those are three Very Different Characters ajddfk.

On the flipside, in the one jjk fic I wrote this year, I discovered that I struggled writing Maki as perceived from the outside, and think I would have had an easier time with interiority for her.

Thank you so much for the ask :D

[end of the year writer's ask!!]

[purplehairedwonder]

For the writing meme ask: 6, 12, 18 and 28!

6. Favorite title you used

Hm, it's probably a tie between "Misery Weightless as a Stone," which is a line from the Ellie Goulding song "Hearts without Chains" (which, of course, is where the title for "Hearts With(out) Chains" comes from, but that fic is from 2021) and, for some recency bias, "(I Made My Mind) A Sunless Space," which is one of my favorite lines from Luthen's incredible monologue at the end of Andor episode 10.

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

Let's see: Still working on "Hearts With(out) Chains" and the various missing scenes from that world. I've also recently started "(I Made My Mind) A Sunless Space," which will be ongoing into next year.

If we also count the zine fics I'm working on since they won't be available until next year, there are my entries for the OP Summer Festival Zine and Corazine.

I have two more ongoing fics I'd like to start, but those are more in plotting form than actual WIP.

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Luffy is always a challenge to write. I doubt I'll ever be fully satisfied with him.

28. Favorite work you wrote this year?

This might be cheating because I started it in 2021, but I'm so proud of finishing "Lead Me Back to Suffering." It's the most successful story I've ever written, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

If we're sticking with just 2022 stuff, I'm quite fond of "Floriography," which is a Rosinante lives AU plus the language of flowers, or "Your Worth (More Than You Know)," which was written for Lawlu week about Luffy finding out Law was taken by Hawkins.

Thanks for the ask!

[the-24-7-lawlu-library]

Hi! Just read this fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/33748141) and the post that inspired it (https://ladycrimsonandblack.tumblr.com/post/658164849325604866/brawltogethernow-brawltogethernow-tama-gives), and was wondering if you knew any other fics where Luffy is a Fae or a Changeling or just not really human? Thanks!

Hello ! Sorry this took us a while, as it seems there are very few fics that fall under that category, but here's what we've got for you:

The closest that comes to mind is :

Wild Wind At Dressrosa by khepiari (M)

[Mod notes: I am personally recommending this one as it is set in a world of magical realism. Luffy is not explicitly a magical creature, but there is certainly a certain magic and mystery surrounding him, which gives this story a whole air of surrealness and fairy tales.]

Doflamingo has troubles- to govern Dressrosa, collect taxes for the King, a womanizing Secretary, a stupid Brother, an angry Wife and a Rebelling Son who is romancing the Biggest Troublemaker- a Wayfaring Godless Curio-Shopkeeper, who is storming the calm streets of Dressrosa. Law's heart is hell-bent to unite with the Wild Wind called Monkey D Luffy- a tale of food, books, friendship and love.

The Moonwitch And His Dumb Werewolf (also) by khepiari (T)

A.U., Fantasy. Happy Ending. Three Part. LawLu (Switch Couple) When his village gets burned down and family captured by the bounty hunters, a young werewolf pup, Luffy, finds himself in the protection of a witch boy named Law and his father Corazon. As the war ravages, the magical creatures must unite to fight their biggest enemies; humans.

Perfect Completion by quackquackcey (E)

Water sprite Luffy curiously happens upon a gathering of vampires and falls at first sight for a certain golden-eyed vampire…but will his feelings be returned?~

A Crown of Flowers by @hyperbolicreverie (M)

The Wild is a mirror, a magic realm of possibility parallel to the mundane one, and people like Luffy, changelings who've made a devil's bargain for power, walk the line between worlds daily. When Luffy makes a mad dash to rescue his brother from certain death, he sets off a chain of events that makes the very foundations of that realm shudder. Soon, he's got several other people along for the ride, and the situation quickly spirals out of control. There's something the people in power aren't saying, and it might be the key to all the strange events that keep happening around them. Luffy just wants adventure and fun and freedom. Law just wants to be left alone to live his life. Kid wants to never be beholden to someone else again. And Ace just wants some goddamn agency for once. But there are other entities in the Wild with agendas of their own, and they don't care about what others want at all.

How To Snare A Life by xairylle (E)

Accidentally ensnaring a parasitic sexual demon and being his host wasn't exactly how Law wanted to end his night or his life for that matter. LawLu/LuLaw.

A Fleeting Moment (When the Sun Can Kiss the Moon) by purplehairedwonder (T)

Once upon a time, the Sun fell in love with the Moon.

[We also recommend checking the #Sun God Luffy tag for godly Luffy material.

And finally, not Fae Luffy, but we'd like to recommend Fae Law]

To Give You My Name by cosmicatta (M)

Trafalgar Law, last of the faes, had committed a fatal mistake 15 years ago: he had given Doflamingo his full name. Now, even after having escaped, the looming threat of his ownership still follows Law everyhwere he goes. He can only try to survive as a runaway, hoping to, someday, find a way to cut the invisible string tying him to his former captor. Until he meets Luffy. He’s just a regular human. But maybe that’s all Law needs.

And, ofc, the one you recommended:

waters of the wild by ladycrimsonandblack (T)

Even to his nakama, Luffy sometimes appears just a little bit too odd. (Or: Five times a Straw Hat notices something strange about Luffy, and the one time someone knows what's going on.)

We're also happy to tell you that your ask prompted some of our writers to give Fae Luffy a shot, so expect some new fics under that tag soon enough.

Fic rec time, because I just read the last chapter that was posted last night and need to share it!

Losing Time (You Can't Go Home Again) by HyperbolicReverie

He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here. When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home. As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return. Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

This fic is a love letter to Law and his family and made me cry several times. I am writing this while just having cried over the last chapter, but it's so cathartic as well. I really hope you can give this story a chance, it's lovely.

[ninhaoma-ya]

Chopper is 90 cm tall and according to the internet a six-year old is a bit over a meter tall. Since Law is a small six-year old, I figure he’d try his best to be taller than Chopper.

On that note, go read “Losing Time (You Can’t Go Home Again)” by the brilliant @hyperbolicreverie for some time travel(ish), getting hit right in all the feels, character growth and pure hilarity that just comes out of nowhere and leaves you gasping.

Writing Patterns

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

I was tagged by @katia-anyway. Thanks, babe! Here we go:

"Underwater Flirtations"

One Piece | T | ZoLaw | 3.8K | Post-Zou, Law and Zoro get caught by the Marines and have a flirty escape

“All right, Captain?” 

"Amid the Falling Snow"

One Piece | T | Lawlu | 6.6K | Law and Luffy get caught in a blizzard and huddle for warmth.

“C’mon, Torao!”

"A Fall in the Woods"

One Piece | G | Rosinante & Law | 1.5K | Rosinante sprains his ankle and Law grudgingly looks after him.

Rosinante glanced over his shoulder to make sure Law was still behind him. 

"Remorse Is Memory Awake"

Dark Rise | T | St. Kempen | 1.7K | James gets his memories back.

Sloane’s head hadn’t even hit the ground before James was dropping to a knee, Ettore’s sword slipping from his grip. 

"To Prove Worthy"

One Piece | T | Drake & Sengoku | 3K | Drake lives in the shadow of Sengoku's late son.

“Enjoying that?”

"To Call Myself Beloved"

One Piece | T | Lawlu | 13.2K | Law, Luffy, and engagement shenanigans.

The celebration of Luffy becoming the Pirate King had been going on for what felt like days, though Law knew it had only been hours.*

*This story began with an epigraph but I chose to include the first line of prose here.

"The Night Is Darkening Round Me"

One Piece | M | Lawlu | 36.9K and counting | Law buys a haunted house. Luffy and the Straw Hats are paranormal investigators.

Law turned his car into a long driveway, absently noting the Sold sticker covering the For Sale sign stuck in the front yard, before continuing up the drive toward the house he’d purchased sight unseen. 

"Our Hearts, Made Whole in Each Other"

One Piece | T | Lawlu | 2.3K | The Hearts are rescued from Blackbeard, and Luffy asks Law to stay.

It was after midnight when Luffy found Law on the deck of the Thousand Sunny, looking out over the water as the Straw Hats’ ship cut through it like a hot knife through butter in their getaway from Hachinosu. 

"My Heart, Fragile in Your Hands"

One Piece | T | Lawlu | 2.4K | Law wakes up in the Sunny's infirmary after Winner Island.

Consciousness returned in stages, as Law first heard the beeping of monitors and quiet, indistinct voices somewhere nearby. 

"Your Heart, Broken in My Chest"

One Piece | T | Lawlu | 3.6K | Law's heart is acting funny, and Luffy realizes something is wrong.

Luffy was far from an expert at having someone else’s heart in his chest, but he was pretty sure what was happening with Torao’s heart wasn’t normal.

So, it looks like I either start a fic with dialogue or a compound-complex sentence 😂
