Summary:

"Tim Bradford got shot in the chest today." Luna’s slow draw of breath is almost as damning as a startled gasp. Her hand tightens around his shoulder. "Is he—" "He's alive. Still in critical condition but the doctors are hopeful he'll make it." "So why the drink?" "Lucy," is all he says. It's enough. OR; Tim & Lucy's relationship is a secret until it's not.

Wade Grey is not a drinking man. He indulges from time to time in whatever's on hand—a bottle of jack from the living room shelf, a cold beer after a long day—but liquor’s never been his vice. On the days when humanity's sins threaten to cling to the bottom of his shoes and follow him home like an oil spill, he usually stops at a bar a couple miles from his house, orders a single cranberry vodka, and tries not to let his soul decay somewhere between there and his front door.

But tonight...

Tonight, he is a drinking man.

He stares into the fireplace, watching the undulating flicker until it paints starbursts of color over his vision as he throws back another shot. Presses the rim of the glass to his bottom lip and breathes. It's been a long day—the kind of long day that starts off slow and average and explodes into frenzy somewhere during the middle; the kind of day that doesn’t stop descending into chaos until someone, somewhere decides enough is enough and puts a stop to the bedlam as quickly as they started it, and he’s tired. Dog-tired in a way that makes him feel heavy and sick and old, but when Luna enters the room, something sleepy in his chest slowly yawns awake.

Ah, his bones sigh, there she is.

He sinks down deep into the brown sugar sweet of her love, followed closely by the steel gray wall of concern that she always tries to hide, and lets himself soak in her presence like a man dying of thirst. She’s quiet as she approaches, and even quieter when she sits down on the arm of the chair. Her small hand comes to rest on his shoulder, her fingertips ghosting the curve of his collarbone. Twenty-plus years and she still feels like home.

"Wade,” she says softly, “Come to bed.” 

In a minute, is what he means to say. The words are already on his tongue, crowded up behind his teeth, but what he says instead is,

"Tim Bradford got shot in the chest today."

fandom: criminal minds | pairing: hotch/morgan | rating: M warnings: mentions of sexual assault, graphic violence, PTSD and panic attacks, mentions of suicide summary: For as long as he can remember, Hotch has hated being touched. chapter summary: No one can get a hold of Derek, not even Hotch.

Hotch has worked with far less sleep in his life, but that doesn’t mean he enjoys it. He’s also stared down far worse criminals than Brad Mariner. The scars on his chest— on his whole body really— are a testament to that. He’d gotten a call from JJ around 4:30 in the morning, saying that Mariner wanted to talk—but the caveat was that he only wanted to talk to Hotch. And as annoying as that was, it made sense. Hotch was the one he had attacked, and a man like Mariner would want to see whatever damage he inflicted. He told JJ to let Mariner sweat for a minute on whether or not he’d actually talk to him, and then he’d gotten ready to go in. Morgan had somehow slept through the whole conversation, though Hotch had been careful to move it to the bathroom as soon as possible. After that it was showering, getting dressed, shaving, smoothing down his hair, and all of it was done as quietly as he was able. It was how he liked to get ready anyway. He tried not to look at the bruised ring around his neck, and paid as little attention as possible to the scars on his chest and stomach. He had memorized the pattern of them by now, and didn’t need to see them. And… as much as he was still not too keen on the idea, he took all of his prescribed medication, too. Having a grown man sit on him and then curling up into a tight little ball for who knows how long hadn’t gone over so well with his mangled torso, and already the scars were pulsing with a dull pain that he knew would get worse if he left it. He had medications for nerve damage and gastrointestinal issues, plus blood thinners for at least a few more months. Antidepressants, antibiotics. A veritable pharmacy, really, but it was necessary. So he took all of the meds without complaint and decided to hope for the best. read the rest on AO3!

Just got in a collision on the freeway eyyo how are y’all doing today ahaha ✌️✌️✌️

[songfell-ut]

Songfell anniversary post, pt 1

Eyyy so four years ago today, I posted the first three chapters of my story on AO3, having seen an unfinished comic and gotten permission from the artist to write a fic using her premise. This here is the first piece of Songfell art ever, commission from the OG comic creator, @lostmypotatoes 👌

So! I am not posting any new content for the moment. My mom has been having health problems, including me having to help take her to the ER (she's fine, just needs to stay in bed for a while), which delays actual writings a bit. What I am doing is reposting art from four years of Tumblr! C'mon down memory lane, wheeeeee

(Part 2, Part 3)

This is going to be in VERY VERY approximate chronological order as it depicts stuff in the story. Stuff with no set place in the story will be guesstimated because I have that power ah ha ha ha ha

Disclaimer: I've pulled all of these from posts or reblogs made by this specific blog. If I didn't see or repost any Songfell art you've done, especially for the videos, I did not leave it out on purpose. I threw in exactly one image from Discord for the sake of completing a set, but that was it.

In cases of multiple...okay it's just the fork scene that has multiple iterations because everyone liked it, but besides the opening one here (which is still my AO3 pfp!), the one that was the first piece of non-commissioned art I ever got will be first. Enjoy!

This was the first non-potatoes art in the videos, I believe, done by the superlative @venelona (probably the most prolific of the arts on here), when somebody realizes he's gonna lose 😘

The collection skips ahead to Sans contemplating killing the nice lady and then totally randomly thinking of Kris instead, by @mambourin D: But whaddya know--

See? That's the sound of losing, son

That's the sight of losing, by @sharkowskii, whose work speaks for itself. Here's the whole thing, colored fantastically by Vene.

Know what else they did together, and happens once he's been knocked out?

(Look at this so good holy shit) Frisk's had a bit of a tired, scared cry in the hall, and it's time to face her new guest head-on.

I lost my mind at least a little bit when I first saw these, ngl. I can't find the next page that she did for the compiled "movie" video 😢 But now we're coming up on a fun bit of Songfell lore!

I was scrolling through Tumblr and glanced over what looked like a picture of my Frisk ha ha that was kind of VENELONA DID A THING WAIT WHAT

First ever fanart, that's what. We have a High Priestess who is completely done with his goddamn nonsense, and

Pictured: goddamned nonsense. N-Not like he LIKES you, baka

Aaand here's my Discord pfp, by @xxkoichiixx (who seems not to be on here anymore D:).

And here's a very plausible alternate outcome by @vafro1.

Though this was a bit more like it, thanks to @naomyart.

Oh look a distraction after he was stupid what are the odds (Catler1!)

Last and never least (none of you are >:( so there), puns are dumb and it turns out they're into it. The End...for now

[wackybuddiemewbs]

So yeah. I guess I'm a wee bit obsessed with that Bones AU for Buddie, huh???

No, seriously. I'm kinda going mad over the fact that I have 1000 pages (I repeat: What. The. Everloving. Fuck.) of... words... but not even one cohesive chapter. Long fics ain't new to me, but honestly, this might be the longest fic I'm definitely not writing ever.

#notwritergoals

But hey, at least I have my dear fun writing all of that exasperated agent Eddie and fact-spewing Buck tomfoolery. So that's at least something. Wheeeeee!

Feyssian Week Day Six - Vulnerability

Stay

Day Six, fic six wheeeeee

TW: depression, signs of depression

Feyre is looking for Cassian in the HoW

Feyre wandered through the House of Wind, listening to make out any noises. Nothing, the whole house was quiet. She carried a full plate in one hand, a drink in the other. She stopped when she saw a beautiful painting in the corridor that she never paid attention to, but she shook her head. She had to remember it for another time, she wasn't here to look at paintings, that was not her task. That was not why she sneaked out of the river house, where everyone else was. Well, almost everyone and it wasn't really sneaking out, Rhys probably knew that she was gone and where exactly she was headed, why she couldn't concentrate half the evening. She was sure Azriel knew as soon as she was out of the door, spymaster.

Feyre took a sip out of the cup. It wasn't supposed to be for her but she was thirsty and she knew he didn't mind. She went up the stairs and opened the door with her elbow. Feyre didn't have to use her magic, she knew he was here. Surely, as soon as the door was open she spotted Cassians dark brown hair put together in a bun with a leather band. He was sitting on the roof, looking over Velaris.

Cassian turned his head, just a little, indicating that he heard her, knew Feyre was there. She slowly came closer until she stopped a few feet behind him. She put on a smile and slightly tilted her head to get a better look at Cassians profile. He was frowning, no hint of the sarcastic, playful male. The dark circles under his eyes confirmed Feyres suspicions about how much he slept.

"Hello sunshine." Feyre said.

He turned his head fully at her and she had to focus to keep her smile plastered on her face and not going in for a hug instantly. The dark circles were worse than what she could make out from his profile and his eyes were red rimmed. She knew he didn't want any pity, so Feyre smiled brighter for him and showed him the plate. "I've got something for you."

Cassian looked away again. "I am not hungry."

Feyre nodded, she expected that. "You didn't eat breakfast." she said. "Or lunch."

He didn't answer, his shoulders slumping. Feyre sighed, putting the drink and the plate down beside him. "Please eat at least a little bit. I even snatched your favourite part of the chicken before Rhys could have it, or Mor, and Elain made the potato dish you like so much. I also made your favorite iced tea, I can't promise that it tastes great because I did make it myself but it's not bad."

Cassian stayed quiet, so Feyre stood up and stepped back. "If you need something just say the word, no matter if it's a meal or help or company-"

"Stay." Cassian said quietly.

"Are you sure?" Feyre asked.

When he nodded Feyre sat down beside him, looking over the city. It just began getting dark and the lights went on. A soft breeze was rustling through Feyres hair. She tried not to look at her friend when she heard the clanging of the fork on the plate.

Feyre breathed in the cold evening air. As much as she loved spending time with her family, it was nice to have a quiet moment for herself and it took a load of her shoulders that Cassian was eating beside her.

"How's Nyx?" he asked quietly. Feyre looked at him as he took a sip of his drink.

"He's great. He loves to throw away his little bat and watch Az picking it up again." Feyre smiled at the memory, how Nyx giggled when Az gave him his favorite plushie back. The plushie that Cassian got him on a whim. Cassian smiled slightly, probably remembering the same thing.

A strand of hair fell out of his bun into his face while he ate, so Feyre brushed it behind his ear and they continued to be each other's company in silence. It wasn't that dreadful silence anymore, it became more comfortable.

"I'm sorry." he said when he finished his meal.

"There's nothing to apologize for." Feyre answered. He nodded, looking at the sky.

"When I was new here," Feyre continued "I talked to Mor. It was shortly before we went to my family's estate and we talked about...stuff. She told me to not let the hard days win." Feyre sighed "I think about it everytime I feel bad again. I don't know, it helps me." Feyre shrugged, letting the unspoken words hang between them: maybe it helps you.

"Thank you." Cassian said, smiling. It was a small smile, but a true one. So Feyre smiled back.

"You shouldn't stay out here for so long, you'll catch a cold." Feyre said.

He rolled his eyes. "Okay mum." he said snorting.

"What?" Feyre said, slapping his arm. "I mean it, it's cold."

"You're always cold." Cassian said. "It's been centuries since I had a cold."

"And it will be another few centuries if you won't stay out for long. Since when do you sit here?" Feyre asked him.

He just chuckled and stood up, then helping Feyre on her foot. Feyre sighed when she looked at him. Cassian went in for hug, holding Feyre tightly.

"What I said earlier still stands." Feyre said, patting his back. "If you need anything, tell us. Or me. Or just Rhys. You're not a burden, we want to help."

"I know." he sighed. "I will." Cassian kissed her cheek.

Feyre smiled, shifting her wings to fly home. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Cassian said. "Don't fly into a tree."

"That didn't happen in over a year, shut up." she giggled.

March 2021 Writing Stats

Total words this month: 30,150

Total words this year: 54,074

Me at the end of last month: wow look how everything’s slowed to a crawl, I should take a break.

Me during this month: Rockstar AU time wheeeeee! (okay, my wordcount still isn’t that impressive but it’s been the best it’s been in a long while so I’m taking it as a win). According to a note I made to myself, I’ve been wanted to write this AU since July 2018 so this fic has been a very long time coming and all being well should be my next novel length fic.

In other news, I am spawning AUs, many of which will be sidelined or not posted for a while.

[aelaer]

Author Interview Tag

Tagged by @amethyst-noir a week or two ago, thank you!

Name: Aelaer. Laer for short.

Fandoms: LOTR, Doctor Strange (and the MCU by osmosis) are the two big ones. The former will be a constant in life; the latter has been going on and off since late 2016.

Where you post: I used to post on both ff.net and AO3, but now it's exclusively AO3 due to lack of feedback on ff.net for the Avengers category. I post Tumblr prompt posts on said site first, before moving them to AO3 within a few weeks/months (just... depending on stuff).

Most popular multi-chapter fic: Post 2016, it's still "Strange in a Strange Land", funny enough (The LOTR/DS crossover). Maybe if I get another modern story to 10 chapters, it'll get near those hits/kudos. Crosssssing fingers!

Favorite story you’ve written so far: I don't tend to have one favorite. I'm fond of most of my stories for one reason or another. Generally speaking I can reread all of them because I generally enjoy them - I write what I want to read. (And I'll reread my older stuff sometimes to try to motivate myself to write.)

Fic you were nervous to post: I was a little nervous about "Untitled" due to its very serious topics about depression and attempted suicide. I was similarly a bit nervous about fic #25 - Humiliation for Whumptober because the narrator/antagonist references real world horrors in order to bring down and demotivate Stephen. But generally speaking, I pad these stories with so many warnings that if people stumble into it, I don't feel bad if someone didn't heed the warnings. If I ever purposefully tagged "chose not to use warnings", I'd probably warn on that too lmao.

How you choose your titles: Amy wrote in her answer that she has random post-it notes to lyrics she'd like to write to. I'm somewhat the opposite - I created a 4,000 word document with all my favorite lyrics from all my favorite bands and then choose from there for chapter/one-shot titles. I've been doing this for the last uh, year or so. Sometimes a lyric doesn't work out and I choose something that works thematically instead. The latter is how I came up with the title of #4 in the Earth-197320 series - which is gonna be called Illuminating the Shadows (bringing back an echo to the first story in the series and also going well with the chapter titles theme, which are all lyrics from one song that I just addddoooorrrreee). But the chapter titles, all lyrics from one of my favorite songs.

Do you outline: Yes, even one shots tend to get mini outlines. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's more rare for me to write in order than it is out of order, or without a sketch of what's to come. The last multi-chapter fic to actually be written in order was the LOTR/DS crossover; all others since have been out of order.

Complete: A lot. It was over 60 on AO3. If I ever commit to revamping my old LOTR one shots surrounding Aragorn, that number is only going to get astronomical. (It is something I have been considering on and off this year.)

In progress: Ughhhh more than I like. Four or five prompt one-shots and two active multi-chaptered stories. And one very long term project in the back-burner.

Coming soon/not yet started: The other half of my tumblr prompts. Getting through those is my next project after this story’s written out.

Do you accept prompts: Yes. It is just very likely it will take over a year for me to get to it. I'm doing my darnedest to get through more of the 2019 batch before the end of the year, but I may not reach that goal just because all of my writing effort has been towards Illuminating the Shadows the last few weeks.

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Sequel #4, aka Illuminating the Shadows. It's currently at 23.5k and is the pivotal tale in the series when it comes to the emotional aspects of Tony and Stephen and their growing bond. I really hope I can do what I'm envisioning justice. The difficulty lies within the short time frame the story takes place, so I'm just hoping that it feels real, even if it is over a month rather than a year. *wrings hands* (But good news, I had a draft of this survey from about 2 weeks ago waiting on my phone for a bit and it was ‘just over 10k’ then, so progress *is* being made! And by the time this scheduled post comes out, it’ll be even further along! Wheeeeee!) (and post update it's now 30k since less than a week ago wheeeee)

Upcoming story you are most excited about: Uh, see above. Hopefully I'll be able to do it justice.

Thanks for reading!

Six Sentence Sunday

It’s Sunday in the UK so I’m counting it lolllll I was tagged by @femstyles, @haztobegood, and @kingsofeverything to share... well all of them were to share a snippet but for various things. I’m just calling them all Six Sentence Sunday cause why the hell not. lollll this is for my lockdown tomlinshaw fic!

“But what are you on about with moving in together?”

“Yeah, well, I hadn’t thought about it, but then the news continued on and some fancy health official I should probably know the name on came on and said that for people who are just starting to see each other or aren’t already cohabitating, that you have to make a decision. You can either not see each other at all during the stay at home order, or you move in together.”

“And you figured we should just move in together?” Louis asked, rubbing his eyes. He mentally wasn’t nearly so tired as he had been before, but his body was still trying to shut down on him. “Nick, what the fuck even are we?”

Wheeeeee haha And now I tag... @tempolarriefix, @bottomlinsons, @jaerie, @absoloutenonsense, @allwaswell16, and @becomeawendybird!

[klarolinedrabbles]

Opinion on TROS?? Imo it wasn’t a bad movie but not good enough to be the closing of the saga, a lot of things didn’t make sense. And I have to say I wasn’t a Reylo shipper but damn I felt a lot on their last scene, props to Adam and Daisy

ALL MY FEELS UNDER THE CUT, BECAUSE SPOILERS, IF TUMBLR MOBILE DOESN’T CATCH THIS, BEEP BEEP, SPOILERS, BEWARE, SCROLL FAST. 

Yeah, I’m not thrilled with this movie, lmfsnkjfnskjs. Like I’m not GoT S8 pissed at it, but I’m definitely not happy. It was better than I went in thinking it would be given everything I read. It was a solid singular film, I think. But very weak as an installment of a saga. The amount of things that they just didn’t do, and someone asked me about it when I had reblogged one of those unpopular opinion things. My answer when I got SW was that I had doubts they’d be able to close it out properly, and sure enough, here we are.

Like I know TLJ was Rian, and TROS was JJ but I think they were both a mess for entirely different reasons. I am very…confused with the choices for this movie. I have never been particularly fond of Kylo Ren, he killed one of my faves in TFA so how could I be, but from a story stand-point, if it’s sold to me properly, I can get on board with a solid, not excuse, but narrative justification. The same goes for him having “destroyed Luke’s temple and killed all the students” we found out in the comic that he didn’t, why the movie didn’t bother including that fact, is beyond me. 

What we did find out though, is that it’s been Palpatine the entire time, in Ben’s head. That’s the darkness Luke sensed when he almost killed him, it’s been every dark influence he thinks he’s heard. Vader included, most likely. And so the fact that Anakin never speaks to him…your honor, issa joke. As much as I screamed when I heard him speak to Rey, boi you got some nerve never appearing to your grandson, who was victim to the same man that turned you. And who repeatedly called out to your lesser half for guidance. So Anakin not showing up to guide him towards the light, I—. LIKE IS JJ SERIOUS, WHAT TYPE OF CLOWNERY. Anakin’s entire bloodline was wiped out by this dusty ass man, started with him, and he was still goin two generations later, AND SUCCEEDS. THE SKYWALKERS ARE GONE. His descendant taking that name, yeaaaah, god called and he said dis ain’t it. I’m sorry, pero issa no from me. 

Ben not getting a single scene about his mom, uhhhh????? That scene with Poe and Leia’s body, it should’ve been with Ben, send the mf tweet. He should’ve just shown up, laid down his weapon, and say his piece to his mother, and then go to Exogol. Also as Ben Solo, he doesn’t fucking speak???? He has his lines in the vision of his father, and then he literally doesn’t speak again for the rest of the movie, the sloppiness, the disjointedness, I hate it. I have never shipped Reylo, if you follow me, you know this. But UHHHH, idk if it was the score in the final scene pero I felt something up in dis bitch, and you know what, lemme hop on this train real quick, I said what I said. Send me your fic recs, ya’ll. They had the best scenes of the movie, tbh. 

Finn and Rose being like Buddies™ now, wtfwtfwtf. And this shit they pulled with Finn having to tell Rey something the entire movie, which can really only be one thing, only for him to never get to say it???? Like why so cavalierly fuck with a poc lead’s emotions like that, as though it’s a game??? The audacity, and Rose being relegated to like Extra #3 is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. To so blatantly cave to whining of pressed fanboys and barely put her in the movie, transparent as fuck and idk who JJ think’s he’s fooling but it ain’t me. Poe’s random ass old LI with this random past that’s relevant to the plot in zero way, like ya’ll did that to shut up the finn/poe shippers, do we look stupid to you. If ya’ll big mouse morons don’t piss tf off this instant, so help me god. 

Uhhh, Poe and Rey like hating each other??? What in the fuck. What was the reason, WHAAAAAAT WAS THE REASON. THAT SHIT DON’T MAKE NO SENSE. 

I have been vehemently against the dudebros who have called Rey a mary sue since let’s see, since Daisy got casted. And I will never, ever validate those idiocies, but lemme say something. Sometimes it’s just one too many things. And this was one of those times. To present Rey and Ben as this dyad in the force, this ‘when together they’re extremely powerful’ type of thing, only for everything in the skywalker lane to go to one half of that duo, and for the actual skywalker to get absolutely nothing, make it make sense. Like sorry, if I’m a bit peeved that the last skywalker had just about zero hand in defeating a man who devoted his life to running his family into the ground. I could’ve accepted his death no problem, if it didn’t feel like there was two billion things that should’ve happened before it, which is how it feels to me. 

So all in all, I am underwhelmed x200. How tf you give Han and Leia a kid and then do almost nothing with that kid, blows my mind. WHEN HE TAKES OUT THE KNIGHTS OF REN, WHOOOOOOOO-WHEEEEEE, I WAS SHOOK. Also when he gets to Exegol and takes someone out with a blaster without even looking like his dad, hand me a tissue pls. 

“Dad…”

“I know.” 

OOOOOOF, THAT SHIT HURTED. 

So to sum it up, I uhhh have a lot more Ben feelings than I did in TFA and TLJ combined??? I couldn’t wait for him to die, now he did, and I’m not Happy about it. 

Also they flopped at the ending because has Rey self-isolated herself on Tatooine, or was she just there to bury the lightsabers/forge her new one. Like ya’ll fucked tf up there, the ending to such a legendary saga should be a lot clearer than that.

[mcalhenwrites]

I’m just gonna ramble about my ideas and current projects for FFXV fics, it helps me sort my thoughts ^^ (Nothing too spoilery, though, but probably boring to read.) 

I have a handful of stories I want to start, but I’d like to wrap up a couple of my multiple chapter fics first.  Right now, I’m trying to get my motivation back for The Illustrious Master Izunia. I was super pumped about sharing that one, but it’s one of the least well received fics I’ve written. Which somehow hurt more than I expected, I guess I put too much into that one. But for my sake, I want to finish it.  (Plus some of the middle part...I had an idea of the beginning, a few parts in the middle, and the ending...but it’s gotten tricky to connect some dots and fill the spaces.) I’m also still interested in continuing Get Me Through. That one intimidates the fuck out of me. I knew I’d gotten in over my head, but I still...want to do it. I’m trying to be careful with that story and the roadtrip one with Cor not to make a boring recreation of the story with some changes. (Fire to the Skin is likely to not suffer from that, despite adhering to canon in a lot of ways. But Get Me Through is going to be completely different, I think, and yet I’m more worried about it being a boring retelling. Huh.) I’m so close to finishing the cabin horror/comedy story, though! I think it’s going to be 10 chapters total, maybe 11, 12 tops? I’ll see as I wrap things up, they’re already coming to a head in it so I doubt there’s much longer to go. I think I’m going to try to finish writing the rest and then go back and edit the whole thing from the start, posting fixes on chapters and then tossing up the new ones!  Travelers of the Sky and its sidestory are going to take some time. Travelers of the Sky is another one of those I’ve put a lot into, and I’m super attached. (I’m also nervous as shit ‘cos the characters keep doing shit out of my control...and I’m letting them. The story keeps changing, thanks to that.) The side story will probably be posted once I finish it! It has to do with Ignis and Prompto as children! (Second side story where I’ve done that - Get Me Through goes into the background of their friendship, only it’s about Prince Ignis meeting Prompto and this one is about them becoming adopted brothers.) And no one to dry your eyes as midnight (why did I name it so long jfc) is suffering from that whole “what do I do in the middle between all the major points I thought of” issue atm...I’m going to try to finish it eventually but that one kind of ambles along at its own pace. (Plus I had to delete a bunch of future chapters yaaay.) Fire to the Skin is the...massive one. Bigger than any others. This one scares me but in a good way! I’m so excited about it. It’ll be all sorts of feelings. Grief, comedy, friendship, romance...wheeeeee~ I talk about that one so much I’ve actually spoiled some of it, but then again...I didn’t think I’d actually write it. (I should have known I would.) Stories that have to wait until I wrap up some:  - Side stories in the same universe as ghost!dad ignoct. I’ve had an itch to write more, but I’m afraid I might get carried away. I’m just surprised that that fic was kind of well received since it’s “next gen” with OC children...but uh, it did focus on ignoct, not Victor or the Promptio girls... - Some Clarus and Regis raising their children together comedy stuff, like in The Worst Vacation - That Fruits Basket inspired fic (I might go reblog that post in a bit, if I can find it)  - Noct/Loqi PWP - The QAF inspired Cor/Loqi stuff whoooooooooooops ...I also had the Noct-lusts-after-Cor thing but I started it and hated it so I’m probably going to bin the idea for now. ^^ So yeah, I need to focus on finishing up the two closest to being finished while continuing to work on all the others...but once I get a couple of the multiple chapter fics done, I’ll allow myself some room to start working on the other ideas. ‘Cos I’m tired of all these fucking WIPs...

K , O , S , U

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?two in particular come to mind: an idea from an old story I had in my previous blog called memories (if you followed me at pjiminnie you might’ve read it), jimin’s life in particular was very angsty and unfair and it really pained me to give him that background ;; to give you a quick summary of the plot, him and the oc died in a car accident and got stuck in some sort of place between life and death. the oc’s memory is wiped out at first, but everytime she remembered him and realized they were dead, her memory ‘restarted’ and history repeated itself. meanwhile, jimin remembered everything so he had to see you forget him again and again, for all of eternity. my second angstiest idea would be hoseok’s background for the train of lost souls, man that was painful to write

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?usually the plot, since I tend to pick the AU and the setting first :) 

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?SOULMATE AU FTW. it is my number one guilty pleasure. coffee shop aus are also incredibly cute :’) and.. I think that’s it? I used to be really into vampire aus but I have a hard time getting into them lately.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.wheeeeee let’s GO

@lthyl I almost feel embarrassed for always mentioning you HAHA but I’ll never stop thanking you for giving more originality to this fandom and for showing us your amazing journey as a writer ^^ I don’t think I’ve ever told you this (or at least I don’t remember) but I have seen you improve SO much in such a short amount of time and that really motivates me to keep working on my own writing, so I gotta thank you for keeping my flare and my inspiration alive :)) 

@wonderer-ru is another writer who brings unique world settings to the writing community. I’m such a sucker for writers who are not afraid of trying new things and that’s why they make it to my top 3. anyway.. her writing speaks for itself, I don’t think I can say much besides the usual praise I give her (YOU ARE GOOD DON’T SAY I’M A LIAR) pls don’t believe her when she says her writing sucks lol (gurl you need to praise yourself more, you deserve it) bless her beautiful imagination!!

@haniwritesbtsstuff Laura!! I’m sure you all know about her, I respect her so very much and she’s also someone who is not afraid of writing about the things she’s passionate about, even if they are not that common (once again, that’s what I look in a writer the most). I still need to go through more of her masterlist but I feel like her stories deserve more than a rushed read (which is what I kinda do lately, I hate uni). they don’t feel like fanfics and you can just tell how eloquent and good she is at expressing what she means. I can’t wait to be able to sit down with a cup of tea, possibly during a rainy day, to read her stories and feel like I’ve got all the time in the world as I get lost in her fantasy worlds :’)
