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 ❤
Oh, that's a nice one to get, thank you!
Since it's not only about the published ones, let's get on with this!
Let's Stay Together - First would be the one I wrote almost right after watching "Help!". I loved the setting of the movie, the fab four living together and well, me having a big crush on Ringo brought that fic to existence. Add to that me, feeling lonely as shit and this personal piece came to be, where me and Ringo become a couple right after the events of the movie. I will never publish it, it's too personal, but I love coming back to it, especially during lonely days. It gives me that... That feeling of feeling loved, ya know.
Roses - Another one with Ringo, this one is published and it's connected to the first one. It wouldn't exist if I didn't write a scene about our first meeting, me as a fan giving him flowers out of admiration <3
Ghost - another one published, this time with John Bonham. I just got overwhelmed with him being dead, a friend wrote a wonderful poem that inspired me write it and so I did. I'm very found of this one and I got one comment saying that this fic felt like a distant hug to them. I'm still feeling a writer's joy when I think about it.
A Nap - this one is also not published. It's a fic that describes my dream I got just before I dived into The Beatles music. It's stupid, without much sense - like any dream - but it's so funny that I got a dream about John and George taking care of me to get some sleep while Paul is trying to play a song in the background and Ringo just looks at me and he is the first person I see when I wake up. Well, maybe I didn't see him entirely because I was without my glasses - blind as a mole -but back then I only remembered a pair of sad and blue eyes looking at me and that adorable big nose. Believe it or not, but when I recalled that dream, after I got into The Beatles, I started searching for someone similar on the groups photos and this is how I spotted Ringo. Now look at me, look at the fucking header, saying "Lil Mrs. Starr" XD
Heartbreaking Night - final and published one, my first angst. I just wanted a fic with older Ringo so I figured I had to make my own. I put some alcoholism in it, wanted to portray him as he was in the 80s - well, probably - and I also felt lonely so yeah. Angst came out of that. Not something I would show off with, but I think it's a solid piece of work. And it's my longest story on AO3 for now- No wait, "Roses" is still longer XD
Thank you for this ask tho! <3 It was so nice, dear anon <3
