Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
Thanks @flyinghome-againstthewind for the ask!!
My 5 fave fics that I wrote.
You know I’m a big supporter of self love 😏.
I have to say O Night Divine would have been on this list, but I don’t think of it as a fic anymore because it’s so much more. Because of that, my 5 faves are pretty easy to come up with. Here we goooooo….
5. The Silver of Moonlight from the Sun, Moon, and Truth series
This story was so natural to write. The series might be some of the sexiest stuff I’ve written (for whatever that’s worth). The main reason it’s such a fave for me is because multiple people shared with me how it helped them open their minds about their sexuality and accept proudly who they are. Fucking incredible.
4. A Thousand Ships from the Tales of James Fraser series
I sat with this idea for 6 months before I started writing it. I laughed myself to tears coming up with the idea, and I laughed typing every fucking word. If I’ve done anything brilliant in my life, it execute this concept.
3. Paved With Yellow Stones
I can’t begin to describe the effort that went into this story. The planning of every minute detail. The intricate plot that could not be deviated from once it was started. It was not easy, and it took a few years of learning to plan and execute complex plot to write something like this. So, yeah, I’m proud of this baby.
2. Like Petals Falling
This story was meant to be a quick and simple palate cleanser after writing a few dark, heavy plots in other fics. How did it turn into something so deeply personal? Well, THE POETRY. Poetry is, at its essence, DEEP and MEANINGFUL. I’ve poured so much of myself into this story in a way I had never done so with any fic before. 🥹
1. Journey of a Thousand Kisses and the 1000 Kisses series.
The intention with this story was to combine my favorite things: obsessively in love Frasers, fucking in the Highlands like rabbits, and building a perfect, happy life. I wanted to write a joyful story that did not require a ton of devastation as the main point of the plot. That’s not an easy feat as a writer. It’s beat into our heads that conflict is vital to good storytelling, and I was intentionally removing so much of that conflict, focusing more on the dynamic between them and resolving a mystery that the readers didn’t even know existed until 6/7 of the way through the story! I wanted people to think it was pure fluff, but then be blindsided by so much more. Then I wanted to do it again with 6 more stories in this universe. I love this series the most, and I love its beginning more than anything.
Do you agree with this list? Do you have another thoughts? I’d love to hear them. 🥰

Jamie returns to John's room after their conversation unable to bear the idea of separation and in doing so realizes what he'd been looking for all along.
Jamie/John, E, Words: 5,058
He didn’t even know why he’d gone to John’s room in the first place. He knew they ought not to see each other, let alone speak in private. It could certainly get the both of them into a great deal of trouble.
But he’d not been able to draw a full breath since seeing John on the street that day...

it’s the way that john’s father’s death and its aftermath profoundly altered john’s perception of love and loss but he still fell in love with hector anyway and hector’s death just cemented that perception but he still fell in love with jamie anyway and jamie’s rejection just drove him further away from the idea of being loved back but he still fell in love with percy anyway and THAT fucked him up so badly that after percy there was no one else.

Unpopular opinion but I don't ship Jamie x John. It's unhealthy and obsessive and John needs to give it up. Jamie has repeatedly said in words/actions/body language that says "No I don't like you in a romantic/sexual sense, and I never will". He needs to get some self respect and stop chasing after that asshole becuase John is just making an ass out of himself trying to force his feelings on Jamie. This feels like a unstoppable object meets a immovable object moment. And personally, if someone told me they didn't like me or even hinted it, I'd never feel the same towards them again. Persistence isn't always key. Sometimes you just gotta let people go. And John needs to learn this becuase it's not healthy, his attachment to Jamie is not healthy at all. He needs to give up his attraction for a married man and walk away with whatever self respect he has and never speak to the Frasers again. I didn't think Claire's speech of "You deserve that look of satisfaction on your face" was sincere either. It was more like the undertone of "Whoever you find happiness with, it had better not be my husband becuase he will never love you. Ever."

The Outlander 31 Day Challenge: Day 16
Day 16: Favorite Lord John scene
Nearly impossible to choose just one, but I loved this pairing and this scene from 4x06 “Blood of my Blood.” We had seen very few interactions between Lord John and Claire up until this point, besides the tension filled one in Jamaica. Claire and John get right down to brass tacks while alone in the cabin, and the conversation between the two starts off very much like a game of chess.
The end result, however, is a deep respect and mutual understanding between the two which brings them infinitely closer. It’s a wonderfully effective episode in that such few lines of dialogue establish the strong foundation of their relationship as we move forward in the series and the story. It’s also a beautiful way to present what would have been an undoubtably hard world for John to exist in as a gay man at that time in history. This line above is one of my favorites in the series. Wonderfully acted, and a memorable scene.
