#never written a non-weird relationship in my life and i don't intend to start now

fic: in stitches

fandom: one piece relationship: law/luffy, zoro/sanji (outside pov), law & straw hats rating: T words: 4,117

Law spends about one early-morning hour reasonably sure he’d hallucinated Roronoa trying to shove his hand down Black-Leg’s pants in the middle of the night, and then he forgets about the situation entirely as the Sunny pulls around to Green Bit, everything goes to shit with shocking expediency, and Straw Hat starts to wade merrily through the smoking wreckage of a plan that has taken Law years to concoct and gently place in motion.

Okay, time for another opinion.

Now, before I begin, I would just like to say a few things, just so no one gets the wrong idea of me.

I have no real problem with Tim Drake being made bisexual, even if most people who worked on the character probably did not intend on him being so. I feel that the only real problem with changing a pre-established character's sexuality is that you're retconning what came before. If it's done well, then I'm pretty much fine with it.

Also, while I'm not a fan of it, I'm cool with people shipping Tim Drake and Connor Kent.

Now, with that out of the way, I would just like to say... I can not stand Tim with Bernard. Bernard is such a flat and boring character. He feels like pre-death, non-revisionist Gwen Stacy, and I can never understand how people were actually upset with that woman being killed off. But at least she had some personality, unlike Bernard ever since they started having him and Tim go out. Granted, all Gwen really had going for her was being kinda mean at times, a daddy's girl, and hating Spider-Man after her dad died, but still, at least it was something. Sorry to those who like Tim with Bernard, but I, for the life of me, just can not bring myself to like these two together.

Also, to clarify, if anyone reading this hasn't seen my last post, this isn't a timsteph thing. I think Tim and Steph are fine, but I'm honestly not that big a fan of them. I don't hate or dislike them like some people do, and while sometimes, the two can be written as pretty toxic, I think when they aren't, they're great. It's just that for whatever reason, they just don't quite click with me. At least I like Steph as a character. She's great, and I wish she was in more adaptations so that more casual fans could see that, too. It's just that while I like her and Tim together, I guess I just don't, for lack of better term, love her and Tim together.

Ok, with all that said, I noticed that somehow, looking at Tim's current relationship and then also his longest reoccurring one, I find myself carrying less about them, and more about his short-lived romance with a member of the X-Men that admittedly, could have used a little more time for development... so maybe I'm just weird.

ask thing 👀👀👀 how aboutttt 3, 5, 22?

HI HELLO <3 thanks for sending !!!!!! we are in very different fandoms now, but i followed bc i used to be a crazy malora stan and your fics were like Formative for me lol, i respect you a lot as a writer. i've read some of your non-malora stuff, even though i'm not really that involved in other fandoms you wrote for, and i thought they were amazing tbh, i just enjoy your writing a lot! it's like a fun mix between a really elevated writing style you'd find in like real literary classics haha and some very like Modern Choices, which absolutely Sends Me, i love it. at least that's how i view your style, i might be wrong about this haha ! (also -- new disaster???? had me wheezing and wailing, also some wentworth fics you wrote were like chef's kiss. i also loved the orpheus/eurydice thing !!!!!! -- i don't have to mention all your malora stuff has me in a chokehold lol and will continue to have me in a chokehold for as long as i live)

3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

it has to be either my ruin tastes so sweet or when the last restraint is gone -- i think both of those really pushed me out of my comfort zone! in when the last restraint is gone i tried my best to like stick to what is true to the period in terms of how the characters act, what they know about the world, how they might perceive a lesbian relationship, also i really pushed myself and experimented with the smutty scenes! i also tried to incorporate a couple of poems (goblin market by christina rossetti in particular) in the actual smut + the entire work as like an overarching theme of sorts. it's by no means perfect, and i still have a chapter or two to go to conclude the entire thing, but it's MY schmeksy victorian fantasy. may or may not be heavily inspired by tipping the velvet by sarah waters which i was Obsessed with when i was 14 it was very formative lol. so this fic will always have a special place in my heart! it's my lil indulgent thing that i put a lot of effort into!

the other thing i kinda have to mention is my ruin tastes so sweet -- it's a lil lucifer one shot (gwendoline christie's lucifer has me on my fucking knees aksdjfhgfgkds like if you didn't watch the sandman and don't intend to, just like watch her scenes, it's VERY well spent 15 mins of your life i guarantee it dsajfhfda). i am rather proud of that one, and i think it could be read as a standalone thing even if you know nothing about the sandman! i am also planning a new chapter for that one (or maybe a couple stay tuned to see heheheheheh), i wanna explore what it means to fall as an angel a bit more!

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

ooooof, that's a hard one. i am sorta in the mindset of i'll at least *try it*, even if i don't think i'll do a great job of it or if i think it might be a silly idea no one would be interested in! so there isn't a lot that i'd think of and then Not Write, i'd at least give it a shot! i am writing a REALLY weird jan stevens fic, idk how it will land, but i am honestly having so much fun!

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

usually no! i have like a couple of Directions i am considering going in, i am not like totally Clueless ahahah, but i let the story sorta guide me as i write it! i only have a sort of a set ending in mind for my ruin tastes so sweet right now (and i also usually have set endings for one shots -- for longer things i just sorta let the fates decide ahahha).

thanks for sending me the askssssss <33333
