20 Questions for Fic Writers

tagged by @saybiwithme @bi-buckrights @zainclaw

How many works do you have on ao3?

160

What's your total ao3 word count?

1,070,239

What fandoms do you write for?

I've mostly written for 9-1-1, though I started off with Shameless (6 fics) and I have written some for Teen Wolf (5 fics). There's one 9-1-1 crossover with Schitt's Creek.

Top five fics by kudos:

parents always yelling (telling us to get our acts together)

i just want something to hold on to (and a little of that human touch)

I will come to you (even in my sleep)

open up again (i believe in second chances)

exes and the oh's

Do you respond to comments?

Always, even if it takes me months. I actually just caught up again (there's still a bunch to go, but right now the oldest is 17 days ago instead of 250 days...). It's just a rule I have for myself, and even with the backlog I've kept it up so far, so I'm not going to stop doing it now.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm not a big fan of angsty endings, I generally try to at least make it a hopeful ending or, in the case of the college au, use an epilogue to fix things.

But I guess sunny skies & summer highs qualifies as an angsty ending simply because of the cliffhanger (and yes, there is still going to be a continuation, I'm working on it 🙈).

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

Choosing one out of 160 is really hard, but I think tell me, will you stay or will you run away is definitely one that deserves a mention here, because it already has a happy ending and then the epilogue just makes it even better 🥰

Do you get hate on fics?

Not commented on the fic itself, no. I've had some people talk shit about my fics on twitter, though, and not even vaguely but calling me by (user)name.

Do you write smut?

Is grass green? Yeah, I write smut 🤭 Thanks to two times kinktober, I have 95 explicit fics, by far the most used rating for my fics.

Craziest crossover:

let's have some fun tonight is my 9-1-1/Schitt's Creek crossover fic for 9-1-1 Rarepair Week, and my only crossover fic

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

My head over feet Buddie valentine's two-parter got posted as one chapter in Wattpad work with over 30 fics once. Filed a DMCA and Wattpad took it down within two hours.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Two of my fics have been translated into Russian afaik, one on ao3 and one on Ficbook

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nope. It may be a nice challenge for the future? Not sure who I'd do it with.

All time favourite ship?

Gotta go for Buddie on that one, lol. Especially if you look at my writing history. But I often tend to hyperfixate on one ship at a time (current reading obsession is McDanno)

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

Buck's POV of if love is art then you might be my masterpiece. I really want to, but at this point it's been two years since the original so I don't know if it'd be worth it either. (I know not everyone was happy about how I ended it, but I doubt any of them are still waiting for more). Writing a different POV of the same fic takes an amount of planning that my brain just really struggles with. And I could pick up where the last chapter (before the epilogue) picks up, but I think that way there would be some crucial information about Buck missing.

What are your writing strengths?

I've been told quite a lot of times that I am good at keeping characters, well, in character, even when putting them in partial or complete AU's. Of course, what is in character or not is subjective, but I do always challenge myself to work as much of the canon backstory and personality into who they are in the AU as possible.

And I like to think I'm pretty good at writing smut.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm terrible at pacing, which multiple of my long fics prove. It'll be drawn out first and then suddenly rushing. And being ESL I do struggle with things like sentence structure and grammar pretty regularly still.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

As long as there is some kind of translation provided somewhere I like it, but I'm not so quick to use it myself. Not beyond a few Spanish words here and there (generally pet names between Eddie and his family we've seen on the show or the occasional curse word when I feel it fits better than an English one, but I usually need to employ help from Spanish-speaking friends for those).

First fandom you wrote in?

Shameless! I binged that right before I started 9-1-1 and combined with the creative writing minor I was doing, it was actually what got me back into writing in general and what made me write my first ever fic.

Favorite fic you've written?

My in your arms i feel safe-series (which I always lovingly refer to as the ace kink fic) is definitely one of my favorites simply because of how personal it is to me and for the reason behind me writing it in the first place.

Other strong contenders are i would've loved you forever (it's never enough but i wanted it to be) and i'm begging you, come home to me (Teen Wolf, Thiam)

Word Count: 2.3k

Author's Note: My little Christmas offering to all those requesting more TomxGregxReader Smut 🥰 I hope everyone is having a wonderful festive period! 🎄

A Lap That's Not Santa's (part of my Christmas List)

There was something almost unsettling about the feeling of warm summer air at a Christmas Party. In his thinly veiled attempts to spend as much time as possible away from his home and his marriage, Tom had insisted on throwing a Christmas party for all the 'Inner Sanctum' of Waystar on some remote island only those in the one percent had ever even heard of. Usually you wouldn't be anywhere near the invite list for a party like this, but dating Greg had a few perks you were still getting used to.

The night had grown quiet by the time you found yourself enjoying the soft breeze rustling through the fronds of the nearby palm trees, the crowd mostly thinned to your host and his family, your head a little fuzzy from a night of generously poured premium champagne.

"Enjoying the view?" You heard Greg's familiar tone behind you, the slight stutter over his words despite all the time you spent seeing his more confident side. "I certainly am." He replied to himself with a cheesy grin, gesturing to your pretty party dress, a gift from the generous boy now he had the economy of the Roy family at his disposal.

"It's so nice here." You replied softly, humming happily with Greg's arms wrapped around you as he leant his chest against your back, crouching forward to be able to kiss the top of your head.

"I only wish someone could tell us where we actually are." He replied with a laugh, the absurdity of his new way of life not lost on him. He relished in hearing the quiet giggle his drew from you, his lips trailing down to your shoulder, planting a kiss before plotting a path to your neck, his nose nuzzling against your hair as he found the spot he know could make you melt, his hips bucking against yours slightly.

"Greg, we should probably wait until we're back in our room." You tried to reason, convincing yourself as much as him that you shouldn't do this here, despite the cool breezes breaking through the warm night air making your body feel electric against his.

"Come sit with me for a minute first, and then we can go." He bargained, his arms wrapping around your waist and pulling you back a few steps to a carved wooden chair, part of the elaborate patio furniture facing the stunning coastal views.

"Just for a minute." You accepted with feigned reluctance, sighly contently as he brought his lips back to your neck, ignoring the strange fidgeting you could feel against your lower back as you settled into his lap.

"We should appreciate this view while we've got it." He reasoned, belt finally undone, pulling out his now hard length and running his hand over it a few times for good measure, "But you might need to keep me warm." You didn't need to turn around to know exactly what the slightly darker tone in his voice meant, looking around to ensure you really were alone before dutifully lifting your hips allowing him to pull your panties to the side, rubbing his length between your folds before gradually lowering you onto him.

"Thank you, god," He sighed out as he bottomed out eyes fluttering shut at the feeling of your warm embrace, "You're far better than any view." He cooed, bringing his arms around your waist to enjoy the stillness of this moment. You sat there together for a moment, adjusting to the feeling inside you and enjoying the slight tremble of your thighs with every teasing second that passed.

"Greg!" You heard a voice call from behind, bolting upright, but between Greg's firm grip and the growing weakness in your thighs you couldn't quite pull yourself off of him in time.

"Hey Tom, shouldn't you be hosting?" You tried to ask nonchalantly, ignoring the pounding heart beat spreading from your chest to between your thighs.

"Always so considerate (y/n), but worry not, you two are almost the only party animals left." He replied, suave in his movements as he pulled up a matching chair, swinging it to face you to ensure he was directly opposite you and Greg. Greg could have missed the way your heart hammered as Tom approached, but the second he felt the flutter of your insides as Tom said your name he knew how happy you were about to make both of them.

"Oh, we can get going..." You began to say, looking for an out before the heat flushing to your cheeks gave away your exact situation, interrupted by Greg,

"There's no rush, I can tell how much you like Tom's company." He teased, locking eyes with his boss and nodding slightly towards his lap.

"Is that so? That's very sweet (y/n), just the other day I was telling Greg what a catch I think you are. How well he's done." His tone was laced with an undercurrent of intent, pulling his chair forwards until his knees met yours, another jolt of electricity coursing through your veins and making you squirm against Greg.

"You know, since Tom threw this nice party for us, and you're so happy to be here, I bet Tom wouldn't mind spending a bit of time with us." As Greg spoke you got the feeling this was something they'd discussed a length before actually slotting you between them,

"Greg keeps telling me what good company you are." Tom added, letting one hand land on your knee and watching your reaction to gauge his next move.

"We want to keep Tom company, don't we?" Greg whispered in your ear, grip around your waist tightening slightly as he watched you respond. Your breath caught in your throat as Tom's hand inched ever so slightly higher, waiting for you to breathe again before slowly you nodded, eyes fixed to the man in front of you.

"Always so sweet to me." The words dripped like dark caramel from Tom's tongue as he let his hand trail up your thigh, thrilled at the silky feel of the skimpy fabric he'd helped Greg pick out with just such an occasion in mind. His free hand pulled your knees gently apart until the thin layer of lace over your centre came into his view. Tom hummed hungrily as he ran his knuckles over the soft material, monitoring the wide-eyed anticipation across your face as he made contact. As he withdrew he hand slightly a single viscous thread followed, brought to his lips eagerly,

"Mmm, already soaking your panties. I must really know how to push your buttons." He tapped your clit once as it to prove his point, watching you twitch against his touch. "You must really like me." He stared intensely into your eyes as he spoke, waiting for you to nod in agreement and grinning when you did,

"Oh she really does." Greg added, kissing your neck again as he spoke, "Every time you speak I can feel her fluttering around me, clenching down while she's thinking about you." You could feel your thighs shake as you tried to defend yourself, embarrassed by your bodies on reaction and making Tom chuckle humourlessly as you glanced away from his focused gaze.

"Oh (y/n), you should have said something." His tone was sarcastic despite the obvious flattery, impatient to feel more of you as his fingers slipped under the fabric of your panties, grazing the base of Greg's cock where it sat inside you, making you both buck towards his hand in unison. His fingers settled on your clit, aching for attention as Greg started to thrust up inside you, chasing his own pleasure as he felt your buiilding around him. Tom started with gentle strokes, fingers coated in your slick, making every steady touch feel like silky perfection. His tongue wet his lips as he watched you closely, switching from vertical brushes to horizontal grazes, then pinching your clit between two of his fingers, studying each of the noises escaping you, unable to contain your rise towards your climax. He altered his rhythm again, testing out rougher circles, before finally strumming over your sensitive bud with two alternating fingers. He smiled victoriously as your moans grew louder, more strangled, as your body desperately tried to chase his every touch.

"Oh this is how you like it. That's good to know." Tom teased, the steady pace of his dancing fingers making you shake against Greg's lap, hands desperately gripping his hips as you rocked against them, feeling your edge approach.

"She's close man," Greg choked out, eyes clenched shut in defeat, "I'm gonna.." His voice descended into a groan as he spilled himself inside of you, rutting hips hitting a spot inside you that finally brought your desperate release, Tom's fingers coaxing every drop of pleasure out of you as he spoke,

"Does that feel good (y/n)?" He put more and more emphasis on your name as he watched you squirm, knowing it's effect on you and drinking in the way you moaned out his, interspaced with 'yes' and 'fuck' as you rode out your orgasm.

"You like me making you feel good?" Tom asked again as your breathing seemed to settle down for a moment, coming back down to Earth despite his still relentless toying with your clit. All it took was a nod for Tom to decide it was his turn. As he gradually withdrew his hand from your underwear, his fingers hooked either side, easing it down your sensitive thighs until it could take off entirely, to be kept in his pocket until he was sure he was done with you. You and Greg watched as Tom freed himself from his own underwear, dick slapping against his stomach as it stood upright, bigger than Greg's, almost intimidating to be faced with.

"Don't look so nervous (y/n), didn't I just prove that I know how to make you feel good?" You gulped and nodded again, allowing Tom to pull you on to his lap, turning you to face Greg who watched awestruck as Tom slowly slipped himself inside of you, taking his time sliding you down each filling inch.

"Now Greg, I'm going to show you what a real man fucking (y/n) looks like." Greg nodded, open-mouthed, as Tom bucking his hips up into you, the almost painful stretch making you pull forward, not sure you could take this much of him. Tom's left hand clamped over your chest, keeping you upright while his right lifted up your skirt before settling on your stomach, pushing softly against the bludge he'd created there.

"Now, now, you can take it." He purred in your ear, making it clear that that was exactly what you were going to do.

"Greg." You said softly to his enraptured expression, not sure what you wanted but needing him closer,

"Greg, why don't you give your girlfriend a kiss, I bet she'd like that." Tom teased as he rocked his hips again, keeping you pressed against his as you cried out at the pressure. Greg leaned forward and let his lips land on yours, excitement already building at seeing you so helpless in Tom's grasp, a plaything for the two of them.

"That's very sweet Greg, but I didn't mean on her lips." Tom sighed, rubbing his hand against your stomach in a way that made you feel like you might burst from the overwhelming sensation inside of you. Catching on, Greg descended to his knees, wrapping his lips around your clit and sucking on the overstimulated button. It was almost painful how alight your body was with pleasure, every vibration from Greg's working tongue matching by the deep reach of Tom's impressive cock.

"It's too much." You choked out, overwhelmed, every part of you intensely sensitive, but Tom only laughed,

"You can take it, Greg's just making it even better right?" Greg hummed in agreement, the feel on your clit making you squirm again, only deepening Tom's reach inside you. You cried out again in ecstacy feeling the build up on pleasure through the haze of all encompassing bliss.

"Just like that (y/n)." Tom praised as he rocked against you again, feeling you start to take him more readily, your body adjusting to him, ready for even more. He pressed his hand against your stomach again, firmly this time, the outline of his manhood almost visible through your straining core. You cried out as he pressed again, "too much" managing to come out through strangled moans as he began to rub firmly up and down over his length. His touch almost burned as it ran between your throbbing clit and your tensing core, the grip making you bounce in his lap with no control of the sobbing cries of pleasure that erupted from you.

"Good girl." Tom groaned, the tightening of your pussy driving him closer to the edge with every bounce, the pained noises of ectasy he drew from you music to his controlling ears. With a few more flicks of Greg's obedient tongue you felt the release again, gushing over Tom's cock as a tear rolled across your cheek at the overwhelming intensity. Your thighs seemed to shake again as Tom finally let himself spill inside you, pushing against his bulge a final time to feel you tremble before handing you back to Greg, ready to soothe your aching form.

"I've got to make sure everyone else has left for the night, why don't you two take a little dip in the pool to cool off?" Tom offered hospitably like he hadn't just taken control of your whole body until he was all you could feel.

"My underwear?" You asked limply, watching a Tom's courteous smile turn dark,

"You won't need them tonight (y/n)."

Hello friend, from the very start you had my heart 🖤❤️. Thank you for joining the Dark Side and being a part of the BC Wolfpackfamily 🐺 here on Tumblr. Please remember that even the darkest days will end and Another Sun ☀️ will rise. Together we are never a Bad Idea but strong like Giants ✊️. #10yearsofblindchannel & many more to come!

Omg that's so sweet! 😭 Thank YOU for being a part of the fandom! ❤️🥰

I remember scrolling through the BC tag in summer 2021, wanting to join because everyone seemed so nice and fun. But it took months until I finally gathered the courage to make an account and start reblogging stuff. 🙈 At the time I was really lonely, and had pretty much accepted that that's just how my life would be. But seeing BC's friendships and watching the fandom from the sidelines made me wish I had friends too, and eventually I decided to take a chance. I wasn't really expecting to make actual friends, but hoping to occasionally message with people and maybe feel a bit less lonely.

That was almost 2 years ago now, and seriously the BCtumblr has made my life so much better, more than I could have ever dared to dream of! 🥺 I've actually found friends, some that I message with quite regularly and others with more occasionally. Even met some of them irl, and everyone's been lovely! 🥰 There's one person especially who has become very very important and we chat daily, not naming names here but you know who you are dear and I'm so lucky to know you 💕

I'm aware that there's drama also in this fandom, but I can honestly say that everyone I've personally chatted with has been really kind and wonderful. ❤️ And all the mutuals that I haven't talked with (yet) seem great too, and I love seeing you on my dash and notifications! 💖

All in all I feel like BCtumblr is pretty chill and nice and understanding! Maybe somewhat awkward and anxious, but generally friendly 😄 So on the off chance that someone who's been nervous about joining the fandom has read this whole post, I want to say: do it. Make an account and reblog posts and see where it goes. Maybe send a nice ask or DM or comment if you feel like it. I'm pretty sure most of us like getting messages, as long as they're not hate mail. 😅 And sometimes one simple message is the start of a great friendship! 😊

This post got a lot longer than I intended to, oops! 😅 But I'm just so grateful for this community, and felt like this was a good time to say it. Thank you everyone ❤️❤️

It’s Friday which means it time to:

Plan your perfect weekend!!

What activities do you do? Movies, tv shows, games, a hobby?

What snacks to you eat? Popcorn, cookies, fruits, candy?

What drinks do you have? Water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, wine, beer, juice?

What do you wear? A fluffy robe over your fave pjs, a fancy nightgown, your pjs underneath a warm blanket?

Do you soak in a nice warm bath or put on a concert in the shower?

I hope you have an amazing weekend! Sending you all the love and hugs 🤗

Aww, this is so sweet 🥺 Okay, let’s see:

I generally work on Saturday’s (I know, it’s a bummer lol) so there’s only much I can do. But Sunday’s are my “bitches better not try me” day, which basically means I’ll do whatever without a care in the world 😌 Tv shows, movies, rabbit hole of YouTube videos at 3 am (the shit you find there, bruh), read, write…

I’m not really picky so I’ll take whatever’s available, whether it be chips, fruit, peanuts, bread, cake, pickles, açaí, chocolate, antipasti, cheese, salad…as long as it’s food, count me in 😂

I have a very unhealthy relationship with soda (I swear there’s crack in that shit), so I’m trying to quit it. Other than that I drink a lot of water, juices are a thing too, especially some of my country’s classics which are: peach, guava, cashew, and pineapple with mint juice (everyone thinks these are so weird but I grew up drinking them so they’re anything but regular picks for me lol). I also love wine, and Italian grape ale (never allow me to drink that in public btw).

We’re currently in summer in my country, which means I’ll basically try to wear anything that won’t make me either sweat like a pig or die of a heatstroke (trust me, it is very challenging), so anything short and definitely not approved to be worn in public should do the trick *fingers crossed*

Ugh I wish I could soak in a bath 😩. (Brace yourselves for more unnecessary cultural facts that absolutely no one asked for). Fun fact, in my country bathtubs are not a thing - unless you’re wealthy or save enough money to buy and install one - so you’ll only see/know a handful of people who actually own a bathtub, and unfortunately, I’m not one of these lucky folk 😂 So shower concert it is, because the acoustics of a bathroom is powerful enough to make everyone believe they’re the best soprano/tenor that’s ever existed 💅

Oh, this was so fun 👏 thank you so much for sending this, darling 🥰🌹

💋

[always-andromeda]

Meda!! i am in TEARS!!!!!!! your response to my last ask was so so so so so nice and I am giving you the biggest, warmest hug!!!!! we are definitely bunkmates at summer camp!!!!!!! I'll be the weird kid who's always sharing strange, niche, and macabre historical facts lol 😅 but I'll make up for it by making yummy treats bc I love baking ☺️

(putting a cut here bc this got long - sorry😅)

and you think about me sometimes???? 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I am so SOFT 🥹🥹🥹🥹 as you said, I know we're internet friends who have never met, but I think about you as well and send you good vibes always!! sometimes I'll see something I think you'd like - like a Pedro Pascal meme or something - and I'll think to myself, "oh, Meda would like this!" 💙

and huge congrats on finishing up the semester!! and my goodness I totally get you about feeling kinda worthless if there's nothing academic to validate my existence 😅 I wish I could give you some words of encouragement with that, but honestly it's something I'm still unpacking with my therapist and trying to work through myself. but I think I can offer this if it's of any help: since I don't know you in an academic context (I don't know what classes you take, what grades you get, etc.) I can tell you that you have so much value outside of academics. your writing is incredible, and you are such a kind, welcoming, warm person. I am so lucky to know you (even if only virtually) and you bring such light to everyone with whom you interact. while I know that academics/the grading system can really fuck with your sense of self and self-worth, just know that you are a whole and complete person outside of those things, and you are valued, appreciated, and loved for all the wonderful and unique things you bring just by being yourself. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

and I also brought stickers!! I didn't have all the animals you mentioned, so I threw in a few others that I thought were really cute (and a red panda bc they're my favorite ☺️). since you're already done with your semester, they can be celebration stickers!!

and thank you so much for the well-wishes on my MA and for the summer! I'll be applying to phd programs in the fall so I'll be researching and reaching out to profs over the summer (pray for me 😬). but I do hope to have some time to just relax and make edits and write. oh and we're getting a new puppy in June!!! I will be sure to send photos!!

I also wish you rest when you need it and creative inspiration when you want it this summer!!

I'll be over here in my bunk at summer camp, so reach out absolutely any time! 🥰

sending you love, hugs, and all things good,

charlotte 🎨

Of course I think about ya!! It's little things that remind me so much of you. Like I have these vintage style flower stickers I use pretty often to decorate things and they remind me entirely of you. And almost every time I hear a Taylor Swift song it makes me think of you too!!

And oh gosh, you're talking to a person who, as a kid, was massively hyperfixated on learning everything I possibly could about the Titanic, the Kennedy assassinations, and like every true crime case I'd learn about on TV. So we would definitely be the weird summer camp kids together, just swapping our weird little fun facts and treats with each other (because I'm also a huge baker)!!

(I'm also adding a cut here because whOO so many paragraphs of things for me to say)

That entire paragraph you left...is so affirming and so lovely and I just– I have no words to express how wonderful it was to read that. Thank you. I also feel incredibly lucky to know a person like you with such a massively generous and kind heart and a vastly wonderful taste in the arts. And I can say that even just through my computer screen, you bring me so much joy, so I can assure you that to the people who get to interact with you in real life? You must absolutely radiate pure light.

Maybe you can relate a little bit to this? But growing up, the only thing that I was ever really taught to value about myself was how I was doing in school. I was taught to always prioritize productivity. So now as an adult, it's so hard to justify giving myself breaks and just letting myself find peace and happiness in the quiet. These are all things I'm working on in therapy, and the approach that my therapist has given me is just like...viewing myself as a stranger.

Because if I were looking at any other person who does the things I do and is the kind of person I try to be...I would love them. I would do everything in my power to support them and make them feel as loved and valued and cared for as possible. It's a little bit easier to give myself kindness with that level of removal there. Maybe that's helpful to you, maybe it isn't!! Either way, I thought I'd share it. 💞

AND OKAY MASSIVE TONE SHIFT BUT OH MY GOODNESS CHARLOTTE THOSE STICKERS ARE ALL THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST THINGS EVER. GOSH THOSE MADE ME SMILE SO BIG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Thank you so much for the celebration stickers and gosh, next time I find some adorable stickers, I'll have to send them to you as well!! Just to spread the sticker love around!! 🥰

Goodness gracious, wishing you the absolute best with your academic pursuits this summer!! And I'd just love to see pictures of your puppy when you get them!! Very much looking forward to what this summer brings for both of us, bunkmate. I'm sending all of your hugs and thoughts of love and support right back at ya!! 💞✨

Cafe Lounge Celebration 🎉 I’m still working on my other order but I wanted to submit something 😊

☕️ songs by Taylor swift

hi bella <3 sorry this took me ages. but i promise it’s thoughtful 🥰

just making sure that i got the assignment: you do wanted me to cast everyone as several songs, right? ‘cause it said songs, plural. haha i’m joking, i know you probably didn’t expect that much but it was just too much fun and ten times easier then just choosing one for everyone tbh <3 (still took me forever but i loved it)

okay so for explanation:

small = debut / fearless / speak now

normal = red / 1989

crossed out = reputation

bold = lover

cursive = folklore

underlined = evermore

you as untouchable ~ everything has changed ~ dress ~ lover ~ seven ~ tolerate it

@ropoto as cold as you ~ run ~ this is why we can’t have nice things ~ it’s nice to have a friend ~ this is me trying ~ closure

@sadgirlml as sparks fly ~ wildest dreams ~ king of my heart ~ miss americana & the heartbreak prince ~ hoax ~ ivy

@temilyrights as tied together with a smile ~ state of grace (acoustic) ~ end game ~ the man ~ the last great american dynasty ~ champagne problems

@iharley / @ssa-sapphic as mine ~ nothing new ~ …ready for it? ~ the archer ~ epiphany ~ cowboy like me

@5raysofsunshine as enchanted ~ i know places ~ so it goes… ~ soon you’ll get better ~ illicit affairs ~ ‘this the damn season

@lilacprentiss as breathe ~ clean ~ getaway car ~ afterglow ~ mirrorball ~ willow

@ellcsgreenaway as come in with the rain ~ treacherous ~ gorgeous ~ false god ~ mad woman ~ coney island

@jaspxr as forever & always ~ forever winter ~ new year’s day ~ cornelia street ~ peace ~ no body no crime

@alicejareau as you belong with me ~ new romantics ~ call it what you want ~ daylight ~ invisible string ~ it’s time to go

@starrylang as mary’s song (oh my my my) ~ the very first night ~ delicate ~ paper rings ~ betty ~ gold rush

@duichenko as that’s when ~ out of the woods ~ dancing with our hands tied ~ cruel summer ~ exile ~ right where you left me

jules, i wanted to include you, but since i don’t know you i just chose songs i like for you :)

i decided on these either because lyrics of the songs made me think of you or because of the general vibe. for further explanations ask me <3

i hope your coffee is just as strong as you like it. i’ll be awaiting your next visit <3

[maybege]

Hi, May! I hope you’re doing better.

Firstly, it’s been a while but I think in my last message I mentioned that my friend got covid during our trip. Got good (belated) news about that: she was fine after about a week and luckily I somehow managed to not catch covid 🥳

Secondly, I finally started my new university job at the beginning of the month! I’m not gonna lie, I am still not completely sure what I‘m meant to do since there is not a lot to do during summer break but the few tasks I’ve been doing until now have been a bit exhausting but also really fun. We also had our first after-work hangout yesterday. Honestly, I almost skipped because I was so nervous/anxious since I was the only newbie that decided to show up, but I’m so glad I went! I got to meet a lot of people from work and everyone was super welcoming and friendly. (also, the American professor said I have a nice, kinda British, accent when I speak English and I’m still really happy about that compliment ☺️).

Please don’t feel any pressure to respond any time soon, like I mentioned one of the last times I send you an ask, I’ll always be patiently waiting for whenever you decide you want to talk/generally be back on tumblr. I hope your health is getting better and that you feel overall good! And, I hope your thesis is also going well 🥰🧡

Ahhhhhh!!! I kid you not, as we approached August I was thinking about you starting your new job!! And I’m so happy to hear that you’ve had a good start and even already a work-hangout 🥰 Now that you’re there a month already, I hope you feel more secure in your tasks - I assure you, I don’t think anyone knows what they’re supposed to be doing the first few weeks 😂 And a British accent? How awesome is that!! It’s truly the biggest compliments when native speakers comment nicely on accents, I always feel very proud lol

I’ve been doing better! My wrists still flare up from time to time but I can type so much more and longer now which is very nice and after tomorrow it’s supposed to cool down which means I can go to the library 😌🤌
