I’m back

What is your personal favorite work for BatB that you have made? Does it differ from the work you’re most proud of? Always love hearing from artists about their art!

-🪶

my favorites are probably:

forgotten—this is the one where the servants lose their memories instead of being cursed, and it's very angsty and 'this is the bad place!'. this actually isn't the one i think is the most well written (it's actually pretty bad in parts lol) but i had a lot of fun planning it, biking around my favorite lake in loops just coming up with more and more drama. and i love the image of lumiere being a sad wet pathetic limp noodle man sorry not sorry

the shane & ryan one—i s2g shane has actually read this one (speaking of pathetic noodle men)

the one where they're all in love with the wrong people—look this is not the best fic on my list but this is the first fic i wrote that had me GIGGLING from start to finish, even after tumblr deleted my draft wholesale so i had to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. i fucking love this conceit. it is SO stupid oh my god read it right now

lit by the sun—this is one of the first fics i ever wrote and one i was really proud of having @batbobsession (the og batb 2017 icon) read. it kinda has everything i love about plumiere stuffed into one story, and all my other fics with them constantly refer back to and play off this one story.

but to answer your other question the one i'm proudest of is mémoire! (that's the one where the villagers are forgotten after the curse, leaving everyone unhinged and longing for a home they don't remember.) that one was a real departure for me in tone and one of the few really long ones that I finished. I'm really proud of how I worked through the tricky parts (like literally how to solve the central problem) and some of the wordplay/imagery (the pages of mercutio's death floating through the town out of the empty church).

thanks for this ask <3 i'm glad people are still reading these fics!
