rules: post one of your newer works, one you're really proud of, and an older work

for newer i'll go for my current major wip i.e. planet earth is blue (and there's nothing i can do):

“This is Joe, transmitting from Orbiter 3. It’s” – he checks the computer’s clock – “day 11,689 of the experiment. Uh, all medical checks came back normal, plants show no abnormal growth or change, soil levels all fine. Drank about three bottles of water. No technical faults to report.” There’s never much to say during these reports, but they’re the closest thing he gets to talking to someone else. “Earth looks particularly beautiful today. And I’m running out of paper.”

we've got space. we've got mystery. we've got joe going through it. what more could you want. i don't wanna say more because the mystery aspect IS the point but. it's a good time (or at least i'm having fun)

for one i'm really proud of, it's gotta be but i thought i could fly:

“How long was it for you?” he asks, not quite sure he wants to hear the answer. For a long time, Yusuf says nothing. Then, “Two years,” he says quietly. - Five ways in which Yusuf has changed, and one way he hasn't.

this one DOES come with the disclaimer that it's very much set in my legend of zelda au but i love it so so much. top 10 fics i wrote for me specifically. i like the first part in the series well enough but this one particularly is one of my favourites to reread which is saying a lot bc i dont always like rereading things. but i like this one a lot. shout out to carry me home, i'm not afraid for being ANOTHER videogame au with a longfic i work on periodically that i'm emotionally attached to

and for older, its like 2 now so ill put it here. libero, libero (nel corpo e lo spirito):

And so these are the three things he knows, when he cannot be sure of anything else:

…

the water is dark, and cold, and heavy.

this one took me forever to write (and took a lot out of me) and i have such a soft spot for this one even if i am terrified to reread it lmao. i do love parts of this very much

no pressure tagging @laviejaguardia (again!), @non-un-topo and @nicolodigenovas!
