#i haven't even told you about the soulmates AU lmao

[sssammich]

wip wednesday on a thursday

@foibles-fables tagged me for this so here i am lol

i recognize it's not wednesday anymore but it's not my fault the days keep coming and they don't stop coming

ANYWAY

i will give you 3 because i am working on a bunch of wips at the same time (i held back because i have like 3 more i'm actively jumping back and forth into in addition to these but this has gone long enough)

may-hem rojarias:

“So tell me now.” “What?” “About her. Tell me about Ruby.” Sam furrows her brows. “Seriously?” She sighs and rubs a spot on her temple. “You’ll find I’m the farthest thing from motherly, but she’s clearly an important part of your life. And I want to keep having our consensual sex with no strings. So if this is something to adjust to just so I can keep what I want, then so be it.” Sam laughs then, her head tipped back even as she shakes her head. “First of all, you sound like a robot. This isn’t a business deal, Andy. I’m literally your fuck buddy. Second of all, you do realize that this is technically a string. It’s literally a string now.” Andrea throws Sam a pointed look. “It doesn’t have to be. Me asking about your daughter doesn’t have to mean anything more than just making small talk, Sam. It’s like when I tell you how much I abhor your choice of drinks.” “It’s not even remotely the sa—” “Sam,” she interrupts, leans forward. “I know she exists, fine. That cat’s out of the bag. The question is, are you going to stop coming over when I text?” “No.” “Then that settles that.”

supercorp, unidentified chapter of collateral:

“Kara, can you do me a favor?”  “Sure. What’s up?”  “I—L-Corp is gonna host a gala, and I was hoping you could be my plus one.”  She turned. “Isn’t that what husbands are for?” she asked, injecting enough humor in her voice.  Lena sighed. “He has an investors meeting with this group overseas that needs attending to. It’s the only window they have with them, so he’s leaving tonight and won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.”  She had the choice to say no, had the choice to protect her heart. Yet when Lena stared at her with her bottom lip tucked under her teeth, Kara knew she would buckle. She didn’t want Lena to be alone knowing that despite the expert ease in which she maneuvered through these events and parties, she never particularly enjoyed them. Kara didn’t think too hard about how closely those words signaled her own actions.  Her face softened and offered her best friend her best smile. “Of course, I’ll go with you.”  They closed this favor request with a hug, one that Kara couldn’t help sinking into, arms wrapped around Lena’s form.  She was a sucker and she knew it.

swanqueen, unpublished 2-shot:

She scoffs, her rage bubbling up and out; she’s barely succeeding in keeping herself in check knowing her son and her parents are watching. Even now, she’s restraining herself for the good of others even if all she wants to do is punch Regina, punch Robin and her parents and maybe just punch herself for good measure for being an absolute fucking fool.  “You’re having a picnic with Robin and his wife who, by the way, happens to be the reason you’ve iced me out for three months, Regina. You—you’re having a goddamn picnic with my parents and their golden child. I guess you just needed me to chauffer Henry here to complete your happy fucking family, huh?”  She wipes at her face just as Regina’s features harden. Emma doesn’t care, though, because fuck her, fuck all of them. Regina has the audacity to step forward, but Emma glares at her and that stops the steps forward. “Miss Swan—”  “God! I’m not even Emma to you. Just Miss Swan, like I’m some fucking stranger. I don’t even get the courtesy of being on a first name basis with you, but you’re kissing a dude you’ve known for a few months and having goddamn family picnics,” she mutters, uncaring if Regina hears her or not.  She shakes her head, fed up with this bullshit. She wipes  her tears as the truth sinks in her bones. The reality that she can want and she can wish, but she will never amount to anything that anybody would ever want, least of all to the woman in front of her.  "No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, whatever friendship I thought we’d been working towards just isn't ever gonna be enough. Message received loud and clear, Regina." She doesn’t wait for whatever haughty, scathing reply might come out of Regina’s mouth. She gets in the car and stomps down on the gas, uncaring about her tires squealing as she peels away from the curb, speeding as far away as possible from her biggest heartbreak yet.

OKAY UH let me tag some folks: @sideguitars @eqt-95 @crime-wives @luthordamnvers @fazedlight and if anybody else feels inclined to participate. i recognize it's getting farther and farther from a wednesday so feel free to wait until next wednesday LMAO

NikPrice headcanons that I wrote at 2am

. Price doesn't bother to say much to Soap or Ghost about their relationship since they so often remind him of Nikolai and himself. He sees the same level of codependence and rapid-fire intensity that they display towards each other, and he can't help but think of the gold necklace that's neatly tucked in his shirt.

- No such thing as a slow burn for these two. If you thought Ghost and Soap were codependent then you haven't met young!nikprice. They got better as they got older, but You Can Tell

- met in a scary forest, nik got a knife held to his throat, and Price woke up three hours later in an abandoned shed with their clothes scattered everywhere god bless 🙏

- both of them have scary dog privileges

- no matter where he is, Price will always look up at the sound of a helicopter and watch it until it fades into the distance.

. Price doesn't believe in soulmates, but he remembers to thank whatever God must be out there for putting him and Nik in that God forsaken forest where they both met each other.

. They absolutely fail at pretending to be excited when they see each other. Soap snickers as Price damn near refuses to take his eyes off of Nik vs Farah who rolls her eyes at the goofy smile Nik has plastered to his face when he sees Price. They're like *children*.

- Price is a boydad and Nik is a girldad go argue with the wall

. Price so blatantly loves the faint grey hairs that are slowly beginning to grow on Nik's belly. It's a reminder that they're still alive, and that maybe that happy ending is just on the horizon for them both. He wants to grow old with him.

- Nik, who is so gleeful at the faint grey hairs that have began to show in Price's beard over the years.

- got married in a run down chapel with a priest that Nik may or may not have threatened with a knife

- they have mastered the art of silent conversations much to everyone's annoyance.

- Nik is a romantic, and if you see Price with different flowers on his desk every Friday then no you didn't.

- both of them have shot each other, and no one knows the full story (Nik has told several different versions every time someone asks)

- they hibernate in the winter or at least they try to lmao (they both love naps). There's no little spoon or big spoon, just pass out on the bed and pray that neither of them fall out.

- dear God the snores that come from the both of them 💀

- He was his King, and God help anyone who dared to disrespect his King 😤😤😤

- They both enable each other lmao they're both several shades of unhinged, and honestly it's what makes the sex between them better

- my personal au is that Nik eventually gets hurt to the point where he can't go on missions anymore, and Price does not hesitate to step back from being in the field to take care of him. He's tired, and if this is the final push for him to lay down his weapons then so be it.

- They know each others moods as innately as they would their own. Nik can read the lines of exhaustion on Price's face as clearly as ever, and Price knows the deeper meaning behind every single one of Nik's "jokes"

- Price surprising Nik with his own new identity, and taking his last name 🥺 As if Nik would ever give up his last name "Price"

- would kill for each other 100% don't even have to ask twice.

- they like to fish, but honestly Price just likes it when Nik begins telling another one of his stories while he sits back and listens to the sound of his voice and gentle waves of lake at their quaint little cabin

- Not the best cooks, but they try! Have definitely taken a cooking class together with mixed (aka illegal) results.

- Alpha/Alpha coded im not sorry

20 Questions - Fanfic Writer Edition

I was tagged by both @writer-or-whatever and @jmrothwell so I suppose I better do it 😅 Thanks guys!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 42 (*gasp* am I Miles Morales?)

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 1,265,660 lol

3. What fandoms do you write for? currently just Spider-Man but I used to write for Supernatural and before that Harry Potter. I'm a one obsession at a time kinda girl.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) - 72k spideypool soulmates au

Don't Freak Out - 136k parkner rivals to lovers speedrun

A Peach Like You - 73k parkner featuring autistic!peter, loveatfirstsight!harley, and a cringe self insert as the villain of the week lmao

The Distance Between (You and Me) - 29k parkner bodyguard au

You're Freaking Out - 166k sequel to DFO featuring plot (wow!) and Miles (yay!)

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

My dudes I try. I know I'm not very consistent and I have a tendency to disappear for months at a time, but I read and cherish each one.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't really do angsty endings lol I think the closest I've gotten is Lay Me Down - 8k destiel major character death--lowest kudosed fic out of all 42 lmao

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

This is an impossible question. I am like the queen of happy endings? You want me to rank them??? Fine, it's You're Freaking Out. Best 10k epilogue in the land. Oh hey also I just noticed it has 997 kudos. May I humbly request 3 more pretty please?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No. Closest was when someone complained on one of my destiel fics about the grocery store not having plastic bags and needing a quarter in order to obtain a cart. I specifically remember they said, "I hate when writers do this," and went on to complain about us making up obviously fake stuff that pulls them out of the story. Like, first of all you're complaining about storytellers making stuff up ??? okay. And second, it was an Aldi. A real grocery store. That I didn't make up.

I had to take a day to cool off before I responded and then they were like oh yeah, my roommate told me when I complained to them, you responded to this really nicely though! WHICH folks LET ME TELL YOU made me angrier lol Like you found out you were wrong and didn't even come back to edit/delete/apologize for your comment???

Anyway after that I internalized that you don't know what kind of lived experience your commenters have so some comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Which is a double-edged sword bc sometimes I get really nice enthusiastic comments and read it like, okay but what if this person is 12 and read it at 2am in a fit of delirium and this is their first fic ever and it's actually not as good as they think haha

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I doooo. I haven't published any since I wrote for spn but I have a parkner pwp ready to go as soon as I muster up the nerve.

I have no idea how to interpret the question "what kind" lol uhhh the hot kind? pffft

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have but I never published them. Again, these were for spn which is hella fun to play with merging into other canon. I started but never finished spn crossovers with Firefly, The 100, The Hunger Games, Criminal Minds, Agents of Shield, and Teen Wolf. I think that's all of them. I've been thinking about putting all of my abandoned wips on AO3 for archive purposes, but idk still noodling on it. I wish there way a way I could elect to post without notifying my subscribers :/ Or at least send them a message warning them that I'm about to be incredibly annoying

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of 🙃

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! A few now! The ultimate kudo in my opinion, and one I never expected <3

The wonderful @bluettspetal has translated An Insignificant Problem, Undercover? I thought you said under covers..., and Completely and utterly devoid of sex appeal into Russian with plans to translate more.

And Faaayeee42 on AO3 translated Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) to Mandarin Chinese.

I'm forever blown away by this.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! Done some brainstorming a few times but nothing that has evolved into actually writing out a shared thing. Not sure I'd be any good at it tbh. I'd probably be a very frustrating writing partner.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Peter Parker/Harley Keener. They're good boys.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My Infinity War time travel fix it (make it worse) fic 😔 It's got so much potential but it is perpetually at the bottom of the to-do list.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and developing relationships

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

mother fucking action sequences and like, coming up with The Plan (the evil kind and the ones to take down the evil kind)

This silly little graphic I made for You're Freaking Out where Harley mocks The Plan made by the spider dumplin gang was initially one half of my brain negging the other half about being shit at making Plans and I decided that it might as well manifest as the characters lmao

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Eh. It's fanfiction, you know? Do what you want. Experiment. Try your best to do it justice. Accept that some people are going to let their eyes blur and skim over it while others will pick it apart but most will exist somewhere in the middle. Just write what you want to write, how you want to write it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

*sigh* Harry Potter. Looking forward to my own post getting gobbled up by my block list lmao

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Goodness gracious how do I even decide? I think Peaches Ain't Pretty is my favorite. It's the fic that showed me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can step outside of fanfiction and write whatever I want and be just as satisfied, if not more.

[myreputatioooon]

I can't be bothered to make an actual fic series so take this fake one instead. BTW if you wanna use this yourself, your more than welcome to.

Please just credit me as the one to come with this idea even through you don't have to

=================

[ Fuck You : The Series ]

(§) The Shards have seen many-a-worlds over their quest for eternity, some holding very, very interesting qualities in their species, and if warped they could prove excellent components to creating Data.

OR: I use the Entities being dicks as an excuse to make em shove several fanfic tropes into the WormVerse. Despair ensues.

A/N: Expect each installment to be non-chronological, non-linear, canon-compliant(?), and contradicting snippets told in episodic format since I can't be bothered to wrap my head around just how much any of these additions to the cape scene would in turn change canon.

Fuck You ★ OmegaVerse AU

In one version of the multiverse, keeping a secret identity is pretty easy. Just wear a mask, cover up features unique to you in particular unless your power says fuck you to that and bam! You a whole new person to everybody else!

Here? Pretty much the same if you ignore the secondary sexes. Alpha, Omega, Beta, and the many variants inbetween. And also the ruts and heats. And the pheromones *shivers*

Scion save the medical industry— OH WAIT.

End A/N: Fun fact about my parahuman omegaverse if you haven't noticed yet, consistency is dead!

One omega is a murder machine towards parahumans and normies who aren't pack and the other has a glorified sweat.

As similar as two parahuman's secondary sexes may be, their own personal biology is tailor made to be unique to them alone and often to make them suffer even further (if i care to do that that is, teehee!)

Fuck You ★ Soulmate AU

The Shards of this realm have managed to create an ever bigger mess than those who brought the Omegaverse to humanity.

How? Though soulmates. I'm talking the kinds with timers counting down to the meeting, the ones that share each other's pain, the ones where the first has a tattoo of the second's first words to them who in turn hears any music the first listens too, the three plus soulmates, the platonic, the familial, the enemies, everything you have already and never seen before! Throw it all into a blender! ALL OF IT! WITNESS AS THE CAPE SCENE GETS FUCKED OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN BY THE ENTITIES MATCHMAKING!!!!!!!

Also um uhhh . . . Civilians get caught up in the soulmates bullshit too, but in every pair or more starts with at least one member is a cape lmao. That or a member is 100% without fail going to become a parahumans.

End A/N: yeah soulmates are Legos here. Typically it's two or more bound to one another by one or more means but it can be anything

One parahuman and their biological family tied with fifteen soulbinds each unique to each person. A whole parahuman gang who's marks only come complete after joining as one

Soul enemies who become stronger together and use that strength to do each other in

Biotinker creations with a Lifespan tied to a civilian who in turn cannot be more than 5 feet away from another parahuman tasked with killing the biotinker creations in question

There's so much more ideas I could give but I can't come up with them all right now and maybe I'll come up with some cruel, cruel ideas to use or you will come up with something I'll use

The omegaverse and adjacent stuff will also still be a thing here but not for every parahuman just some of them (unlucky lmao)

Since I'm feeling extra kind, the next chapter will feature Coil & Piggot being in the know about being one another's soulmates ;) Love ya!

[indestructibleheart]

🧭🤔❤️

xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes

🧭: An alternative title to one of your WIP(s)?

Technically, most of them are currently titled with "alternative" titles that definitely won't be what they're called, lmao. My latest WIP is called "am I more than you bargained for yet?", which may or may not be its actual title. It will definitely be a FOB title and might be:

part-time soulmate, full-time problem OR

i'm just hopelessly hopeful (you're just hopeless enough) OR

i’d burn this city down to show you the light

OR... something completely different... 😂

🤔: What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

There are several docs on my drive that don't have a single word written for them yet, but that I really want to write. I think #1 on that list is my playwright/actor AU that I told you about.

There's also this other thing that I haven't talked about yet because I'm afraid that it will become my entire brain if I talk too much about it... and I have other, shorter things I think I want to do first. 😅

Send me emojis!

floral kisses

i made up this soulmate mark bc at this point of time in 2019 i was rlly into flowers LMAO. enjoy.

summary: the day where jeongin found his soulmate!

genre: fluff, soulmate!au

pairing: jeongin x gender neutral!reader

Everyone had a soulmate. Most of the time, it was two sided, but there were some.... unfortunate one sided connections.

There were plenty of ways to identify your soulmate, whether it be a timer, matching tattoos in the same place, having colour taken away at birth but being able to see colour when you find your soulmate, or being able to see what your soulmate writes on their wrist on your own.

When you were 13, a doctor told you - at the request of your parents, who were scared that you would never have a soulmate - that you'd be able to identify your soulmate by flowers blooming around them. The flower blooming would be their favourite flower, or if they didn't have a favourite flower, a random one would bloom around them. No one else could see the flowers, besides you two.

Your parents found it funny, as they owned a flower shop that you eventually started working at when you didn't have any classes.

"Your manager really loves yellow, Binnie." You pointed out, placing flowers in the areas requested of you.

As he made you your favourite drink, he rolled his eyes, "More like she wants to find an excuse to buy things she doesn't need."

"Hey, let her be! At least she isn't spending the flower money on your paycheck." You smacked Changbin lightly on the arm, in response he pretended to be hurt and whined. "You're so mean!"

Laughing, you set the last flowers into the small pots on each table, "I only hit you lightly, those dramas we watched over the weekend must've really rubbed off on you."

You and Changbin were childhood friends. Although you were in different campuses, you both still kept in contact regularly.

"The only thing I'll be dramatic about is that I haven't even met my soulmate yet," He huffed, "This tattoo is so cheesy, it's making me wonder if they've watched as many dramas as you have."

Patting him on the back, you sighed with a smile, "Eventually, you'll find them. I still haven't found mine either, so that should make you feel better."

"But you don't even care much about it!" He pointed out, you snorted, "If I find them, I'll care about them then. If not..."

You both looked at each other.

"It eez what it eez." Simultaneously, you both laughed.

Sitting down, you sipped on your drink your friend just gave you.

"Yeah, at least I'm not a hopeless romantic-" which quickly earned you a "Hey!".

"But! I'm gonna get going, time to relax at the park then go back to the shop." You quickly drank your drink, making sure to throw it in the trash.

"Bye (Y/N), I'll probably visit with the usual leftovers. That's if there's any."

In just 3 minutes, you were sitting on the park bench, listening to music on your phone.

The scenery was nice - small trees spread around the grass area, you could tell it was mid-spring just by the weather.

A few birds, Jis- I mean, squirrels, and other animals would pass by, minding their own business as you relaxed for a while.

Once you felt like going home, which was after 13 or so minutes, you started to get up and walk out of the park.

That was, until you made eye contact with someone, your favourite flowers blooming on the ground around the figure which made you gasp.

With Jeongin as our protagonist for this part, the boy was walking to a cafe, feeling calm - there weren't any classes scheduled for the day, and his job at the convenience store near his university dorm started at night.

"Hot chocolate, please!" Since no one was around, he was able to go to the front without any waiting in line.

The barista nodded, "The usual marshmallows, I'm guessing?"

"You know me so well." "You always come here before a test- how could I not?" "This time, Changbin, there's no test. But I'm in the mood for hot chocolate."

Changbin let out a small chuckle, "Oh, I was thinking the other day - what's your soulmate mark? Wait... do you, uh, have one-"

"Of course I do! It's just... I only find out by seeing flowers bloom around them on the ground. Doesn't matter where, but I'm the only one who sees it." Jeongin smiled, sitting down on one of the bar stools, "Do you have one too?"

"Yeah, hold on-" Changbin showed Jeongin his wrist - written on them were the words "Sorry, I just got lost in your eyes, and sorry, that was extremely cheesy." on it.

Jeongin laughed, "Your soulmate seems quite sweet."

"Seems genuine too," Changbin hummed, placing the paper cup filled with hot chocolate in front of Jeongin.

Eventually, the younger boy left, due to the barista getting told off for slacking off - due to having a full on conversation with Jeongin about university, and getting into a debate whether aliens existed or not.

"They do exist! Who drilled it into his head that they don't?" Jeongin huffed, suddenly bumping into someone on the street next to the park and making eye contact with both a pair of eyes and flowers before closing his own eyes.

Opening his eyes, he looked at...

...his friend, Seungmin?

Jeongin, honestly, was disappointed, "You're my soulmate?"

Seungmin scoffed, "Jeongin, I have a soulmate already. You know this." and left.

However, Jeongin soon realised that the flowers and eyes he saw were actually in the distance.

His soulmate was you, the person behind Seungmin.

And his soulmate - you - however, was on the ground. You looked like the pikachu meme.

He quickly concluded that you fell out of shock. Walking closer, he outstretched a hand to help you up.

"Hey! I'm Jeongin, I guess you're stuck with me, soulmate." His laugh sounded like the cutest thing in the world to you.

You were already imagining your first date, a nice picnic alongside the riv-

"Soulmate? You okay?" Jeongin's voice snapped you out of your daydream, making you shake your head.

"Sorry Jeongin! I'm Y/N, guess you're stuck with me too, soulmate." You made light fun of his introduction, making him facepalm and shake his head with a smile.

As you two started talking about the most random things in a successful attempt to get to know each other, across you two was Changbin still inside the coffee store.

He was quick to realise you both were his friends, and once you two shyly kissed, he got the full picture - you two were soulmates.

"I should've introduced them to each other... what the fu-"

fic writer interview

I was tagged by @burninghoneyatdusk and @andromedabennet thanks friends!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

As of right now, 46!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

I’m currently at 600,704 which is perhaps too many, considering I have schoolwork again 😅

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

I have written for six fandoms! Started off with Harry Potter and Captain America (though I have orphaned those fics so you won’t be seeing them again lolol). Then I got into Check, Please which is a very cute hockey webcomic, then The 100 (which is wildly a big reason why I’m in grad school right now so what does that say about me??), one Polin fic for Bridgerton, and I have written one thing for Sex Education because Otis and Ruby would not leave me alone after I watched season 3.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

And Why Mess Up a Good Thing (Check, Please!, Nurseydex) Five times Nursey swears nothing's going on between him and Dex, and one time Dex admits it

You’re Already Breaking My Heart (The 100, Bellarke) Clarke loved Finn first. She was friends with him before Raven even spared him a passing glance. But that was a secret she was going to take to the grave. Or so she thought. A To All the Boys I've Loved Before AU

A Twist of Fate (The 100, Bellarke) Clarke knows she’s not someone who’s destined to have a soulmate. It’s not in the cards for her, and it’s something she’s working on coming to terms with. Bellamy is ready to be over Gina, but isn’t sure he wants to rush into anything new. Too bad he can’t seem to stop running into the girl he brought home last weekend… In which Clarke and Bellamy have a one-night stand. And Clarke and Murphy have a podcast.

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? (Check, Please!, Nurseydex) Nursey prays that his so-called New Year’s curse doesn’t affect "Poindexter Siblings and their Significant Others New Year’s Game Night."

Best Kept Secret (Bridgerton, Polin) Colin and Penelope have been dating for a month and they're very happy together. They just haven't told anyone that they're dating yet. Probably because Colin's family is too nosy for their own good.

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I definitely try to, though I always get behind. Engagement on my work is like moderate, at best, so I get excited to see any sort of comment and want to be excited with my readers. That being said there’s like 48 comments in my inbox right now. I promise I’ve read them, I just haven’t responded to them all yet!

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I guess it might be Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine, a fic I wrote for Troped last year. I called it a modernization of Emori and Murphy’s first meeting meets Taylor Swift’s I Knew You Were Trouble video. It’s kind of angsty by accident because I originally planned to write another chapter but then that never really happened and I don’t see it happening so lol sorry to everyone that this fic ends not that happily.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

No, my brain simply does not work that way lol.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I wouldn’t say hate, but like some mild dislike of how I wrote things. In A Twist of Fate, Bellamy dates Echo for a good portion of the fic and someone felt the need to tell me they didn’t like how much Echo was in the fic. It’s properly tagged as minor Becho so it’s made clear what you’re getting into so that comment felt silly to me.

I also got a wild and very long comment on Cold-Blooded my silly Twilight AU where the commenter thought that Clarke realized Bellamy was a werewolf too soon and suggested that I should edit it so that it made more sense, then they basically went on to say how they thought the rest of the story should go. Don’t do this to people lmao. I already had that whole fic planned out so it’s not like I was going to change how it happened based on something one person said? If you feel that strongly, go write your own fic!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, but not often because I hate the process. I’m not one for smut, in fact if it’s in a story I will usually just kind of skim it. I’d say all my stuff is very vanilla, though I do have a couple smut scenes I know are coming in my Nemori arranged marriage fic where I am trying to spice things up a bit, though I think they’re still pretty standard. You probably won’t catch me writing much more of it since it really is a chore for me lol.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of?

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also not that I’m aware of?

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope.

13. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Lmaoooo idk. I guess Memori is up there, but I don’t know that I’d say they’re my all-time favorite? Honestly, I’m not one to get too attached to ships normally. I guess for a long while I was super into Booth and Bones, but it’s not like I ever read fic for them. And of course I had my Chuck and Blair period as well. I’m pretty big into multi-shipping, so I’m not sure I have a good answer for this. I guess if we’re talking right now, if anybody hasn’t noticed Otis and Ruby from Sex Education are all I can think about lol.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Rip to the very short Nurseydex piece I should finish because it wouldn’t take me long, but I simply never will. I’m just kind of past writing for them. I’m worried I won’t finish my Bellarke Emma AU but I do kind of want to get back to it, because Murphy has not shown up yet and those who know me know that Frank Churchill (Regency's finest fuckboy) is weirdly one of my favorite characters, and I was really looking forward to writing Murphy in that role, so I think that might win me over to finish it eventually.

15. What are your writing strengths?

As a screenwriter, I hope I can say dialogue?? I feel like I’m decent at picking up on how characters talk and their speech patterns, which has also been helpful for writing spec scripts, not just fic! Similarly, another thing that is great for both fic and spec scripts is characterization. I’ve definitely gotten compliments on that before, and if I really like a character I’ll pay attention to how they move about the world and how they interact with others, and I think it always ends up coming off in a cool way.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

I’ve always felt pretty iffy on like worldbuilding. It’s definitely been weird to write so much fic for a sci-fi show when I am not well versed in writing that (but that’s why I mostly write modern AUs lol). I also don’t think I’m the best at description, but then again I tend to prefer when things are more straightforward anyway.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I guess I’ve never really thought about it? I probably won’t do it (unless it’s the Trig from fics I’ve already written) because I can only speak English fluently so it doesn’t seem like something that I could easily fit into anything I’d ever try to write.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

We’re very lucky the Glee fanfic I once found in an old notebook never saw the light of day. I almost once wrote a Downton Abbey fic in high school that would have been Sybil and Branson being penpals while she did her nurse training. But my first fandom that I actually posted something for was Harry Potter, though I only ever wrote the next-gen kids.

19. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I’m cheating and picking two, I have so many!

First is obviously We Don’t Need To Say It, my Memori actor AU. It is the longest fic I’ve ever written at over 100k words, and I also created an entire fake TV show out of it (that I have also written a pilot for) so a lot of work went into this one and I’m super proud of it. Also got a few new people into Memori, which was another win.

And second is my most recent fic which is all’s well that ends well to end up with you. It’s one of like 45 fics in the Otis/Ruby tag on AO3 (I guess 42 if you get rid of the ones that are actually Otis/Maeve). I just got a picture of Ruby and Otis reconnecting many years later and giving it another try and I had a lot of fun writing it/I have more ideas for other installments in that little future universe that I am NOT allowed to write until I get some more prompts done look at me Sam, I’m being responsible.

Thoughts - Part 1 // Matthew Gray Gubler x Reader

This timeline is set around 2006 because that's when the actually 2nd season of Criminal Minds was going on. So Matthew is about 26.

Summary - Soulmate AU! Once you turn 18, you can hear some of your soulmates thoughts. And when you meet, your thoughts go silent for 30 seconds. Readers soulmate is quite the character. (Anything you see in bold is the other persons thought.)

Word count : 2.1k

This is kind of experimental lmao, lemme know if you like it :)))

"What was your first soulmate thought y/n?" I got this question often, everyone did. This time it was asked by a new friend of mine, we met in our cinematography class this semester at LAFS ( Los Angeles Film School ).

"I think my story is one of the more fun ones."

"I bet mines better." Her eyes held promise, but I wasn't sure she could beat me.

*It was currently 1:15 pm, and I was waiting patiently for my first soulmate thought. I was with my best friend Marley, we sat in the cafeteria of my college, mind you, surrounded by other people.*

*"What time were you born again?" She had asked the question so many times this hour, by the way she was bouncing, you would think that we were waiting for hers.*

*"1:19 pm for the last time Marley." I giggled, nudging her shoulder. I took a bite of the cupcake she had bought me for my birthday. It took no time for the clock to hit 1:19, I anxiously waited to hear something, anything.*

"Now disclaimer." I told my friend, who I now knew as Alex. "I knew that some people had reported that their first soulmate thoughts were kind of, *loud*. But I can tell you that I was severely unprepared."

*Only 30 seconds after my watch ticked past 1:19, I heard a near deafening screech in my head.*

***"What the fuck?!"** The thought was so obnoxious and loud that I spit the fluffy pastry from my mouth and directly onto the back of another person, holding tightly to my ears, this did not help.*

*"What's going on? What did they say?" Marley leaned over to me, rubbing my back with a horrified look. Not long after, the man I had spit on turned around with a furious look.*

*"Hey I'm so sorry." I choked out, waving a hand at the man. "My soulmate thought was painful." The man rolled his eyes with an angry huff, taking his cardigan off and turning back to his table.*

*"What did they say y/n?!" There she went again, bouncing like a dodgeball.*

*"What the fuck." My eyes darted to hers, narrowed slightly. She furrowed her brows at me. "He literally thought, what the fuck, so loudly."*

Alex was on the floor giggling like a fiend, she held her stomache as if her guts would spill out with so much joy.

"Nope, you're right." She could barely speak between laughter. "I can't beat that." She promptly wiped the tears from her eyes, composing herself. "So you haven't met him yet?" She let out a final sigh.

"Nope. When I meet him, I kinda wanna slap him." A sly smile made it's way onto my lips. "The little shit thinks the weirdest things! I have had to deal with his thoughts for 4 years, and I'm ready for the complete silent bliss when I meet him." I laid my head back on the couch.

**I would really like a fruit roll up right now.**

"Speak of the idiot, he really wants a fruit roll up right now." Alex shook her head at me.

"Maybe he will be funny?"

"We'll see about that. What was your first soulmate thought?"

-

Tonight was Marley and I's 'introduction night.' Similar to a movie night, we have a night every two weeks where we either introduce the other to a new show or movie, alternating turns.

"I think you'll like this one." She plopped onto the loveseat, nearly throwing and spilling the hot popcorn on me while grabbing the remote. "It's a crime show, just started last year so after this season we can just keep up with it. If you like it of course." The show was flipped onto the first episode, it was a man talking about an unsub, or unidentified subject. Then a younger guy walked in, interrupting him.

"Who is that guy?" The words flew from my mouth before I could even think them.

"Spencer Reid-"

"No, I mean his *real* name. He looks *so* familiar." It felt like my brain was eating itself alive, why did he look so familiar.

"I think his name is Matthew Gray Gubler." Marley shrugged, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Has he been in anything else but this?"

"He models a lot. That's probably where you saw him." She pushed some magazines around on her coffee table and threw one at me. "He's on page 16, Hilfiger Jean's." I flipped to the page, seeing his face again.

"Wow, he is something else. I must have just unknowingly saw him in a magazine somewhere."

"I know! Once I saw him on here, I knew you would think he was cute too. Plus, he's a genius. I figured this would be another Peter Parker situation again." She teased, poking at my giant crush on Spiderman AKA Toby Maguire a few years ago.

"Shut up!" I snickered, throwing a pillow at her head. My own thoughts were interrupted by one that was not my own.

**I wish Halloween would come faster.**

"Its literally May." I whispered to myself, earning a weird look from Marley. This is the typical weird thought, Halloween is big on his mind.

I of course ended up loving the show. ~~And may or may not have had a huge crush on Spencer Reid already.~~

I informed Marley that we would most certainly be catching up on the show regularly, making that out new weekly thing for a while.

Though I could truly not get that Matthew guy out of my head, and I had a weird feeling it wasn't just because I thought he was super hot.

Matthew

**Who is Matthew Gray Gubler?**

The thought nearly made me spit out my coffee as I walked through the set. I knew for sure that wasn't my thought.

*No shit sherlock.*

Now *that* was my thought.

The question swirled around in my head, I really wanted to just think,

*I'm Matthew Gray Gubler!*

Just to make this whole process easier. Who knows if she could even actually *hear* it if I did answer her, or that she would believe me.

So lost in my train of thoughts, pun intended, I ran right into a punch cart.

"Holy shit!" The punch came spilling down right onto my khaki pants. I rested my forehead on the rim of my coffee mug. "I'm so sorry Terry, I was really caught up in my head."

"It's alright." He pulled a towel from his back pocket, throwing it onto the puddle that was forming on the wood floor. "Thinkin' about a girl?"

"Yes actually, thinking about my soulmate. Let me help you with that." I kneeled down on the floor, wiping up the spill. "Sorry again."

"It's all good Matthew." He dragged the cart to the opposite side of the room.

**Why can I not focus damnit?! This trip is suppose to be fun. Focus y/n. Focus!**

Y/n! I've never heard her name before. Maybe shes getting closer to me.

I set my coffee on the table of the reading room, pulling my script out and sitting next to AJ.

"You seem out of it today, are you feeling okay?" She tapped my shoulder. "I saw you run directly into the lunch cart." She clearly tried to suppress a giggle.

"How did you meet Nathan? How did you do it?" My script was not slammed onto the table, my hands pressed firmly on top of it.

"Are you worried about soulmates again? Matthew, she will come to you-"

"She said my name!!" My hands flailed wilding in the air. "I heard her think it! This sucks." I laughed a bit at the end, feeling ridiculous and vulnerable. Ask phone buzzed on the table, interrupting my dilemma.

"Well I hate to stop you in the middle of this debacle, but we have a film class coming in to observe, I guess sit was suppose to be a surprise." AJ shrugged with a pity smile, which is my least favorite version of a smile. I dramatically slammed my head on the back of my rolling chair, groaning like a child.

"Come on Gubler, we don't even have to do anything, we just have to act normal so they can observe. Let's go educate some college kids." She stood above me, patting my head and dragging my seat from the table a few inches. I reluctantly stood up and left the reading room.

To be clear, if it were any other day than the day that I found out my soulmates name, I would be totally in the game. I love teaching people, I love being an inspiration, but all I could think about was how close yet how far I was from meeting the love of my life. I shook it all off, physically and mentally, while heading to the set.

*Time to get my head in the game.*

I hope my soulmate heard that and started thinking of highschool musical.

-

"Action!" I held my prop gun in my hand while following Shermar, he proceeded to kick a door down that had a camera on the other side to capture it. The class that was observing sat on the other side of the door, seeing all of the behind the scenes that goes on during filming.

To avoid making direct eye contact with the camera, I often look right past it. So instead of making eye contact with the camera, I made it with a girl.

Then it was silent.

I stopped in the doorway, leading AJ to slam right into me on her way through the door.

"What the hell are you doing Matthew?"

"Cut!"

**You have got to be fucking kidding me.**

We did not break our stare, her eyes wide now with the realization.

*Wow.*

The girl sitting next to her was shaking her shoulder violently, but she sat unfazed.

"Can you excuse me for a second?" Bobby Roth, our director for the day looked at me like I was dumb, inevitably giving in.

"Whatever, take 5 guys."

I immediately waltzed past the cameraman and over to, who I could only assume, was my soulmate. The girl next to her was promptly slapping her arm and squealing like a pig, but she was giving her quite the death stare.

*She's my kind of girl already.*

Right as I thought that, she looke duo at me with a large grin and a tilt of the head.

*Shit.*

**Damn, even cuter in person.**

"Thank you." I couldn't suppress the automatic pep in my step meeting her. "I'm Matthew, you must be y/n?" It came out as a question because I was worried I would be wrong, and embarrass myself.

Which I've done, many times.

"You know my name?"

"I uh, I heard you think it." I pointed to my head, nodding awkwardly.

"You are so weird." She laughed, which made my face reddened more 3x more than I'm sure it already was.

"What?" I managed to murmur out.

"Well, you just think about weird stuff, mostly Halloween though." She was slowly smiling more as she spoke of me, which made my heart skip a few beats. She was so much more beautiful than I had pictured her. Her eyes held every intelligent thought that I had ever heard from her, and I knew right then that the eyes were the door to the soul. "Now that I'm here," she finally stood to my level, poking at my chest. "Do you wanna do a couples costume? This year?" She did a cute half shrug, as if I would say no.

"Oh my God, you really are my soulmate." I pulled her into a hug, a tight one, never wanting to let her go now that I'd found her.

"Alright guys! Let's go!" Bobby motioned everyone back to the set.

"Yeah, get out there *Spencer*." She patted her hand on my cheek. I didn't know if I hoped that she *did* see or *didn't* see how much I already liked her on my face, but I could feel the admiration spilling from my features.

"I- I'll talk to you after this!" I stumbled backwards from her, going back to the set and awkwardly running my back into the cameraman.

"Can't wait!" She waved with a flushed face, sitting back down next to her friend who was now shaking both of her shoulders violently.

*This is the best day of my life.*

**Same.**
