First sentence pattern game!

Rules: post the first sentence of your last ten posted fics to see if there's a pattern.

Thanks for the tag @thehollowone16!

Salt Water (Alex Rider, E, Yalex, 4k6)

The bullet ends up in someone’s forehead before the window even breaks from the impact.

Golden Blue (Arcane, M, Caitlyn/Vi, 1k)

Vi dangles the keycard in front of the door, waiting for the lock pad to grant her access.

Thanks for the ride (Shadowhunters, T, Malec, 3k6)

Pickup in 2mn. SH4EVR - Black Mercedes E Class. (1) Alec pulls over in front of a nightclub, one of the new hot spots downtown, and ducks his head as a bunch of girls come out of the club, his friend Aline among them.

Time to Spare (Arcane, E, Caitlyn/Vi, 2k)

Shine Ent. offers a wide range of profiles, including Vi’s.

A desirable life (Shadowhunters, G, Malec, 500 words)

Decades later, shadowhunters are lost to the wheel of time. 

What’s new under the sun? (Arcane, E, Caitlyn/Vi, 1k)

Vi wakes by increments as she comes fully into her mind and body.

Dust and Shadows (Shadowhunters, M, Malec, 1k4)

The sky sheds tears of blood tonight.

Pillows and Princesses (Arcane, T, Caitlyn/Vi, 1k)

The sun bores down on the pavement when Vi pulls up in front of The Queen’s Palace. 

Lonesome Nights (Arcane, E, Caitlyn/Vi, 1k3)

Caitlyn feels it in the dead of night. 

Obeisance (Shadowhunters, T, Malec, 3k)

(4) The sun saturates Alec’s eyelids with a scorching orange glow and he throws one hand over his eyes as he comes back to his senses.

Pattern: actually the one first line I was the most proud of recently isn’t here xDI think I try to give the tone of the fic within the first line usually and these are pretty representative.

First sentence pattern game!

Rules: post the first sentence of your last ten posted fics to see if there's a pattern.

Thanks for the tag @annanother-thing !

Intermediary: Kabuto was never one for crowds or noise, yet here he was, trying to navigate a noisy crowd.

Loyalty's Price; Eternity: Either

6 months before Naruto returns to Konoha or

Kabuto watched the sun undergo its daily slow descent drom between cracks in the storm clouds.

Breathing Space: "Happy birthday, Naruto," Kabuto said, watching Naruto round the corner.

Loyalty's price; Interlude: Hours before Naruto was supposed to leave, Kabuto sat at the edge of his bed, rereading the stolen scroll.

Unexpected Conversation: Too much, or too little?

Loyalty's Price: "Bye for now."

Vulpecula: The first time we saw vulpecula was halfway through august.

All roads lead to rome: "Avada Kadabra!"

Under the skin: Kuina kicked the door down which certainly got Usagi and Arisu's attention.

Happy New Year: The New Years were always an odd time for Arisu.

Pattern: Most of mine start on dialogue or a strong image. I used to start with thoughts more, like Happy New Year. My first lines also usually aren't my favorites. I feel like I have to build momentum to get to better lines. Maybe this is something to improve?

Tagging: @ao3dorian-gay @aceon-ice and @myulalie if you three wanna give it a go!

[myulalie]

I am open to Femslash February prompts suggestions

for Shadowhunters (I'm game for everything, just don't request Helen and Aline with anyone else than each other, they're my OTP).

also open to Arcane prompts for CaitVi. Can't promise I'll write it but I'll definitely share my thought process at least!

I might even try Teen Wolf femslash this year *gasp* fyi I've watched the show up to season 3 though so the only thing I l know about characters from later seasons is mostly their fanon counterparts.

I'm not into crossovers if you're wondering so no use in suggesting it, sorry!

I'm okay with AU and fusion though (so I can have Teen Wolf characters in a Hogwarts AU but they won't be meeting Hermione is all I'm saying).

I could be convinced to write genderbent pairs ;)

Squicks: pregnancy fics. Archive warnings, Incest, Infidelity, Lingerie, Mommy Kink, Humiliation. Non & Dubcon. OC as major characters. Outside POV.

Will post in February '25, obviously. If I get 28 prompts I like and actually write them I'll even make a nice visual lmao

[myulalie]

I've been sick so I just saw your tag on the WIP Folder Game and I need to know about Sterek Twilight AU and Sterek Bloody Valentine <3 <3

No worries, I hope you feel better now!

Sterek Twilight AU is a Twilight rewrite with the Hale pack instead of the Cullens and the Argents instead of the Quileutes, and of course Stiles taking Bella's role!

I'd only rewrite the first book/movie but it's been in my head for a couple of years so I finally added it to my WIP folder haha

Sterek Bloody Valentine is also an AU in which Stiles finds out he has powers and accidentally curses teen!Derek with a love spell, finding out about werewolves as he does. A good old high school romance I should complete one day *flops*

Thanks for asking ♥

Malec snakeskin for the wip ask game thing 🐍

Hey! Thanks for asking ♥ It's a warlock!Alec AU in which he meets Magnus because his powers aren't dormant anymore and he needs to get it under control to stay under the Clave's radar. As the name implies his warlock mark is snake skin x) Maryse never came forward about her encounter with a demon leading to Alec's birth and Robert pretended it could have been his child even though they met and married when she was already pregnant. The plot was mostly "Magnus teaching Alec about magic" but it was boring to write so it stayed in the WIP limbo *flops*

[myulalie]

Hii! Thanks for the tag ♥

enemies to lovers or friends to lovers - I've never been a big fan of friends to lovers to start with, actually I was surprised the one time I liked it! Enemies to lovers is much more satisfying to read ^^

coffee shop au or flower shop au - both honestly, and add some tattoo parlor AU down the street please!

hurt/comfort or there was only one bed - took me a while to realize that I like hurt/comfort as a general theme for the story, but now I know and I was always bored at the one bed trope anyway!

found family or partners in crime - one of my faves, right alongside support systems!

canon compliant or canon divergent - the plotter in me loves to make it compliant even when it's divergent :p

domesticity or pwp - neither honestly, I like plot and those tend to lack this component x)

fluff or angst with a happy ending - angst I guess, although much like hurt/comfort it's about the flavor more than the whump ^^

1st person pov or 3rd person pov - definitely 3rd person, I also prefer my books to be in 3rd

soulmates or forbidden love - soulmates but they're not each others *chaos*

roommates or fake dating - I like the dynamics and plot twists of roommates in general, more than I do for fake dating ^^

slow burn or meet-cute - I love the meet-cute! and the meet-ugly! I find it more stimulating than slow burn...

love triangle or polyamorous relationship - poly, the easy solution to see your ship sailing ;)

royalty au or magic au - I was never a royalty girly, magic and fantasy however... gimme!

high school/college au or neighbours au - I like the school setting, lots of possibilities there!

mutual pining or idiots to lovers - neither, I find both equally frustrating.

Tagging anyone who feels like joining in!

trope selection tag game

super late to the party but here I am! tagged by @icebluecyanide, thank you! 💙

enemies to lovers or friends to lovers - Enemies to lovers all the way, there's nothing better than the tension and the moral dilemma that comes with that trope - and a tad of violence.

coffee shop au or flower shop au - I'm not a fan of both, of most non-canon related AU tropes actually, but if I had to I would read/write coffe shop over flower shop.

hurt/comfort or there was only one bed - you can't do that to me and make me choose. Love both of the tropes, but h/c features in almost all my fics whereas beds - one or more - is harder to fit in all the time. So h/c

found family or partners in crime - I'm not interested in family dynmics, found or orther wise - therefore partners (assassins) in crime.

canon compliant or canon divergent - as I rarely ship the canon ship it's canon divergent, and often also post canon on top

domesticity or pwp - pwp as long as there are feelings involved

fluff or angst with a happy ending - I'm not a huge fluff fan, and definitely if that's the whole purpose of the fic whereas I LOVE angst. Give me all the angst. With the happy ending (and it's okay if there's a little fluff then)

1st person pov or 3rd person pov - Definitely 3rd person, I have never read a first person fic, and also prefer my books to be in 3rd

soulmates or forbidden love - I'm a big fan of chosing your partner and not having some kind of entitiy choose for you, free will rules (though there are some great stories out there!). but all the tension from forbidden love and potential heartbreak is just too good to pass

roommates or fake dating - in most fandoms not a huge fan of both, but if fake dating done well can be great - as long as it turns into real dating at some point

slow burn or meet-cute - give me 100 k slow burn with enemies to lovers and I'm happy. who wants to meet cute when you can meet by punching the other in the face and get horny about it?

love triangle or polyamorous relationship - love triangles are soooooo boring. Love poly ships.

royalty au or magic au - definitely magic, if applied in a broader sense like vampires etc. a nice warlock can also solve a lot of smut supply problems, let me tell you.

high school/college au or neighbours au - Neither, it's just like the coffee shop AU. Don't really see the appeal but if I have to choose neighbours - that can at least keep the canon narrative in some parts

mutual pining or idiots to lovers - I don't like idiot characters so mutual pining - and the potential angst is great

Fic Writing Review 2024

@cosmereplay shared these random stats and it's dope so I'm doing it too, join in the fun folks!

Writing Challenge

I signed up for Get Your Words Out last year so I'll be using their pledge tracker to sum up what I wrote:

more than 200k words (didn't count the rewrite of my epic fic) ;

222 days of writing.

How many of those words made it to Ao3 ?

133 548 words ;

24 works.

Fandoms

Alex Rider (4)

Arcane (11)

Rise of the Guardians (1)

Shadowhunters (5)

Teen Wolf (3)

Top Three Most Popular Fics

It's Good to Belong (Teen Wolf, Sterek, T, 48k)

Both Scott and Stiles get bitten on that fateful night in the preserve, and their choices differ from then on. (This fic was written for Fandom Trumps Hate.)

Stay (Teen Wolf, Sterek, T, 3k8)

Derek returned to Beacon Hills to figure out what happened to his sister — not realizing that in doing so, he signed up for (a lot) more than he bargained for.

The Blushing Virgin, Revisited (Arcane, CaitVi, T, 3k)

Sometimes, the distinction between marketing and reality is nothing but a thin line in the sand, easy to cross.

Bottom Three Least Popular Fics

The Boy in the Ice (Alex Rider, Yalex, T, 3k9)

Project IceX takes Yassen to a lab in Siberia in order to relive a miraculously preserved humanoid, seemingly older than humanity itself.

The Call of a Good Cause (Arcane, CaitVi, T, 4k)

The mysterious Caitlyn enlists Vi’s help to steal Piltover’s Blossoms.

Better Half (Teen Wolf, Sterek, T, 6k)

“How was l’Interlude, asshole?” or ; the story of two idiots who seemingly don’t have much in common… except they actually do. It only takes a double date for them to figure it out.

Things I Want to Work on in the Coming Year

Posting my Sakura-centric epic fic, I've finally completed it and I'm now editing this monster (160k...). I am also considering the possibility of translating it into English since it's in French.

Completing The Mortal Instruments: Skyrim (Shadowhunters x Skyrim fusion, Malec, also an epic length fic).

Femslash February, of course.

I'll be offering auctions for Fandom Trumps Hate as well.

And I think that's already a lot haha.

As I mentioned at the beginning I got this idea from @cosmereplay so if you'd like to do something similar, please do and tag them (:

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show AO3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please don’t eat glass but don’t feel like you have to do this either.

I'm sorry, we've never talked before but I just HAD to know

What's the "malec dressage cow" WIP???

That's what these games are for!! Thanks for reaching out ♥

Malec Ranch AU, I'll share a snippet rather than try to explain this fever dream...

“I’ll let you know that she is the smartest cow you’ll ever meet.” “Come on, I have no doubt your cow is nice and cute but she can’t be smarter than a horse. Have you ever seen a cow perform dressage movements?” Magnus drawls.

spoiler alert: Alec's cow performs dressage movements. Magnus is floored. Or will be if I ever complete this fic lmao

Hello! If you have the time, 4, 10, 11 (and 12 because those pretty much go together for me in my head) and 27 for the fic writers ask game. 💜

Hii!

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

I’m actively working on one Teen Wolf (Sterek) fic right now ^^ It’s for Fandom Trumps Hate 2024!

10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

Recently I was nicely surprised by an old birthday gift idea I finally posted, it’s a Teen Wolf fic, Sterek once again, with kitsune!Stiles for @lalelilolusworld. The moodboard kinda blew up on tumblr and the fic was a bit slower but got there too eventually.

I didn’t expect such a specific prompt to work for so many people but I’m glad it made more than one person’s day!

11. Do you have specific playlists for writing fics?

Most of the time yes, I create a playlist for the story (not just multi-chapters, for shorter one shots too sometimes).

If I don’t have a story specific playlist I can still rely on the older ones with similar vibes, my pairing or character or fandom specific playlists x) I put any song that makes me thing of those in there and then I pick and match for the stories that get a playlist later on, while also adding songs that only work for this story. It’s a fun process!

The most recent one was for Dust and Shadows, a Shadowhunters pre-Malec fic!

12. Do you have a playlist for your current WIP(s)? Share it!

I do! I’m still adding songs occasionally so the playlist might evolve some more (it’s particularly short considering the fic is 10 chapters for an estimated 50k word count).

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

I’m sometimes a bit anxious when I tackle topics such as gender dysphoria (one of my recent Shadowhunters, Malec, A/B/O one shot) or a muslim character (my latest Shadowhunters, Malec, Human AU).

I’ve done my research and asked plenty of questions to my friends and relatives to make sure I do it respectfully and I give an accurate representation of the kind of experience I focus on for the story but you never know how it will come across once you share it online.

So far it went well!

Thanks for asking, more questions here (:

[myulalie]

Thank you @brightasstars! It's been a while since I was in a last line meme haha. Here is the last couple of lines (it's dialogue so it makes more sense this way) from chapter 12 of The Mortal Instruments: Skyrim, my long term Shadowhunters, Malec WIP in collaboration with @spark-draws.

“You enchanted it,” Alec says, eyes gleaming. “Thank you.” Magnus nods, “To protect you better.”

Long awaited but never forgotten, we just need to wrap up the last arc so that we can edit the others and finally post it all lmao. Maybe we'll get there by the end of 2024 ;)

I'm tagging @lalelilolusworld, @aceon-ice, @sterekxhale and @polarnacht1 this time around ♥

Last Line Meme

Thank you for tagging me @barbex!! This comes from a lil Fenders ficlet I'm working on.

Fenris might not admit much to himself but he can admit he has feelings. The type that compels him just a little bit faster, needing to make sure Anders is okay.

I'm tagging @foxymoley @broodwolf221 @brightasstars @skylar102 and anyone else who might see this and want to join in! Tag me and show me what you're working on! <3

Malec Call me maybe for the Folder WIP game?👀💜

Oooh good choice! It's an old prompt I received in my ask box

Magnus has been hurrying home from work every Friday to make sure he gets there in time to watch his neighbor's oldest son do yard work. It's summer so he's home from college and it happens to be very hot out. That means Alec takes his shirt off while he's doing the yard work.

It made me think of the MV for Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen hence the name of the WIP :p

Very curious about 'Yalex NCIS AU'! 👀

It is intriguing indeed 👀 It follows the plot of an NCIS episode but adapted to Alex Rider and smutty obviously ;)

Yassen infiltrates MI6 HQ and takes a hostage, Alex goes in to save the hostage and Yassen lets it happen because it's Alex obviously, they are instantly attracted to each other but Yassen manages to get away, tricking everyone, Alex included.

It's also fully drafted, I just need to write it nicely *flop*

Author interview

@aceon-ice tagged me and I’m really looking forward to this, thank you ♥

1. How many works do you have on ao3:

165 and I am extremely upset because Alex Rider got more than Teen Wolf and I can’t seem to catch up D:

2. What's my total ao3 wc:

1 047 026. wow. apparently I wrote 400k in 2020 and I’ve been putting out between 100 and 200k every year since, just wow.

3. What are my top 5 fics by kudos:

Mixing business with pleasure (Explicit, Malec, Shadowhunters)

Alec has to go to the Seelie Queen herself and strike a deal, release Jace from the curse in exchange of… what, exactly? He has nothing to offer. Magnus Bane is the warlock who grants wishes. His father is a Prince of Hell after all, the demon of lust… maybe Alec has something to offer then.

Yeah this fic took off alright, I really liked the concept ♥

Eyes on Fire (Teen, Sterek, Teen Wolf)

When a rival pack goes after Scott and his friends, Stiles finds himself caught in the crossfire. With his subsequent turning to haunt him among other nightmares, Stiles has to learn how to control his new abilities and make something of a situation he never wanted for himself, much less with the tensions that linger in Beacon Hills since the awakening of the Nemeton. As he eventually figures out how to be a werewolf, he finally finds common ground with one Derek Hale, catching feelings as he goes. The unexpected alliance might be just what Beacon Hills needs to bring the established werewolf packs together once and for all.

This was my first reverse bang and I finally tried my hand at werewolf!Stiles, I had a lot of fun coming up with the fic to match the art.

Deepest Desires (give in) (General, Malec, Shadowhunters)

Were-cats are good luck by shadowhunters' standards, so when a black, jewelry covered cat appears at the Institute, Alec pays him his respects. He needs it, considering the messes Clary and Jace keep dragging him in. Alec certainly doesn't expect the were-cat to take a liking to him, and even less to start flirting with him...

Now I want to read it again haha

A piece of night sky (Teen, Malec, Shadowhunters)

Alec is doing his best to keep the city safe. With no support from the Clave, the New York Institute is desperately understaffed. He begins patrolling with help from the Downworld factions - which proves to be tricky at best, and becomes almost impossible when the werewolves start hunting Alec.  His siblings have no idea of what he’s up to at night and to keep them all safe Alec needs to keep it that way. Then, he meets the High Warlock of Brooklyn. Suddenly, patrolling also includes pop songs and bird puns in between watching someone's back when fighting demons. But, what’s one more secret to keep?

This was my first collab with a beta and an artist for a bang, I’m exceptionally proud of this one!

(Vir)Gin and Tonic (Mature, Malec, Shadowhunters)

Alec and Magnus have barely met when the High Warlock asks for virgin shadowhunter energy in exchange for Clary’s memories. Naturally, Jace offers Alec’s virginity. It doesn’t go according to plan.

The first fic in this list is actually a remix of this one with a slightly different take on virginity x)

4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes, always! I just love interacting with other fans, it’s nice to know someone actually read your fic and noticed details or reacted to some choices you made in the narrative. Also it can be a great way to find new ideas and motivation, I wish I could be more invested in writing communities to keep those creative juices flowing.

5. What fic has the angstiest ending?

I’d say Dangerous Tastes (Explicit, Yalex, Alex Rider), it’s a bit of a star-crossed lovers romance and the ending is particularly bittersweet, albeit hopeful.

After a failed assassination attempt during his horse ride around the property, Alex gets a bodyguard against his will. He keeps flirting with danger from then on, even at the risk of getting his heart broken.

6. What fic has the happiest ending?

Oh, definitely 17 Suits (Explicit, Malec, Shadowhunters)! Alec and Magnus find common ground over the one thing that pushed them apart all throughout the story.

Magnus Bane, a sworn bachelor, receives his fair share of wedding invitations on a regular basis and makes sure his friends get through their weddings unscathed. One dark, wounded and mysterious Alec Lightwood is not going to rain on Magnus’ parade as he celebrates the best day of his loved ones’ lives.

7. Do you write crossovers?

Not really, I don’t read them either. I do write fusion fics though, specifically Pokémon like I did with Idris Tour Sweethearts (General, Malec, Shadowhunters) for instance.

Alec is fascinated by dragon types and has learned everything about them in books. He’s always dreamed of finding them in the wild and see them for himself, but he never went on his journey with a Pokémon and now, it’s too late to travel the world. Except, is it? Alec’s siblings are all grown up, and he doesn’t have a job — or friends — to keep him in his hometown. He could leave and attempt to complete the Pokédex, hopefully meeting some dragons along the way. Maybe he’ll even find love, like so many Idris Tour sweethearts before him… But the winner of Pokémon beauty Contests, Top Coordinator Magnus Bane, couldn’t possibly want more than one night in Alec’s arms. Right?

8. Have you received hate on ao3?

No? but then I usually assume good faith so unless you’re insulting me or my mom I’ll either think the comment is clumsy but the person meant well, or just move on. 

9. Do you write smut?

Yeah, surprisingly. I was never really interested in smut, would even skip smut scenes for the longest time but eventually I found it useful in some stories and then I made a point of doing kinktober (Malec, Shadowhunters / Sterek, Teen Wolf) and smutember (Yalex, Alex Rider) just to figure out how to fit the prompts into some ideas and it’s been a lot of fun!

10. Have you had a fic get stolen?

I don’t think so or at least I’m not aware if there has been one. I did occasionally share ideas that got passed around and written by somebody else which is always uncomfortable but that’s on me for both sharing and not mentioning it wasn’t up for grabs lmao

11. Have you had a fic get translated?

Nope! I thought of translating a couple myself though, I’m just too lazy x)

12. Have you co-written a fic?

Several! Even though @spark-draws will deny it I do consider them a co-writer because they came up with a good chunk of the outline and I implemented major edits due to their feedback on The Mortal Instruments: Skyrim (Mature, Malec, Shadowhunters). 

Magnus and Alec are now enemies who have been saddled up with a mysterious quest to save Skyrim. Will rivalry, distrust and fierce and dangerous dragons get the better of them? Or will they find some much needed guidance on the slopes of the Throat of the World, where a mysterious brotherhood holds some of the answers they so desperately need?

I also recently worked on Vastly Different Things (Teen, Yalex, Alex Rider) with @polarnachtsblog as a thank you fic for our pinch-hitter in the Yalex Secret Santa. We literally wrote parts of the fic on our own then merged it all together with minor edits and transitions, it was a lot of fun!

Alex almost gets tossed from a helicopter into a river in Chile, and spends some quality time with a certain assassin.

13. What's your fav ship?

Right now I’m on a roll for Sam Carter x Ba’al (Stargate SG-1) but my one true pairing is definitely Helen Blackthorn x Aline Penhallow (Shadowhunters). I love them. so much.

14. What's a WIP you want to finish but never will?

I don’t know, I’ve completed WIPs several years after I started them so I tend to not consider a fic discontinued until I’ve deleted the fic from the platform, and considering most of my WIPs have not been posted anywhere… ;)

15. What are my writing strengths?

I’m really good at “getting it done” I think because productivity breeds productivity. If you get started and power through long enough, it becomes easier and you can keep going and enjoy yourself while you’re at it!

Same with edits, I’m not afraid to change things (although I can be lazy). It also applies to plotting/outlining, I’m an excellent planner, sometimes too much of a planner though.

Style wise I’ve been told I’m good at writing fight scenes and setting, I do enjoy my descriptions!

16. What are my writing weaknesses?

I’ve always thought I’m terrible at dialogue!

I can get stuck in a writing slump from too much planning.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages on ao3?

I used to really like it, especially since I’m bilingual myself. I wanted to use some fancy script to have the translation appear when you hover or link it to the notes and then back to the exact line in the story but I couldn’t figure it out xD

Nowadays I like the much simpler “POV character doesn’t speak the language” or “blah blah blah, they said in French”. You get it or you don’t x) 

18. What's the first fandom you wrote for?

Either Naruto or Harry Potter, let’s say Harry Potter because there is a completed fic I can actually remember lmao.

19. What fandom/ship have you not written but want to?

Definitely Stargate SG-1 these days because I’m on a Sam/Ba’al binge!

20. What's your fav fic you've written?

Right about now it’s Blue for Brooklyn (Teen, Malec, Shadowhunters) but it may change depending on my mood!

Asmodeus is a legend among Shadowhunters and Magnus has a duty to the Downworld. When a renegade warlock unleashes a powerful demon in the streets, he has no choice but to get involved.
