Another snippet from my Dada!Alastor and Little!Angel fic:

Angel was now sat up in bed, phone completely forgotten, limbs visibly trembling as he stared right at Alastor in wide-eyed fear. He clutched his blanket with all four of his hands, pacifier bobbing erratically between his lips. Guilt flared in Alastor's chest at the sight.

Alastor quickly retracted his shadows and static. He pushed the door the rest of the way open and stepped in, gently closing it shut behind him. He then took a couple of tentative steps towards the other demon with his hands up to show he wasn't a threat. Even still, Angel whimpered again and tried to press himself as far back as the pillows and headboard would allow him to, tears welling up in his eyes.

"It's alright, dear. I'm not going to hurt you," Alastor reassured him, even going so far as to soften his grin.

The radio demon almost couldn't believe how easy it suddenly was to treat the younger demon with genuine gentleness and kindness. While it felt a little strange, it also felt like the right thing to do in this situation. He supposed he just had to "roll with it," as they say.

Angel just curled his legs to his chest and buried his face into his knees with a muffled sob, wrapping one pair of arms around them while the other two still held on tight to the pink blanket.

What are your current fav fics you’ve been reading? :)

My all time fav that brought me back to the fandom, of course, Rust & Stardust by @chromehoplite and when I caught up with that, 613 branded my heart.

I also have been on and off reading Godhood by @little-bit-sebaciel when I’m feeling really soft because it is darling! And I’ve just begun One Way Home by @sempiternalailurophile

There is a fic in progress by @gypsyslzy that I was able to read in private and good gods, it’s fantastic. Also, @httyd-mc-pl-twilight has shared some amazing ideas with me about an au that I’m stoked for!

But my list of fics I’ve read and am reading is so short which is why I am taking a week this month off of writing to just go and read other people’s fics. I’ve already made a post about it but if you haven’t suggested your most treasured fic you’ve written or your favorite fics to read, please suggest them here so I have things to indulge in.

OK, here are my bingos @dreamilydelicatesublime @sempiternalailurophile and @mizstarwrite!!!

Tibit Tuesday

Tagged by the wonderful @anewkindofme! 💚

I started working on my first agere fic for The Rookie (which I should hopefully have posted sometime later this week), so here's a snippet from that:

John anxiously tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he drove to Celina's apartment. The young woman hadn't come into work today, nor had she answered any of John's calls. In the year that Celina's worked on the force, she had never missed a day of work without calling-in first to let the department know she wouldn't be in that day. It also wasn't like her to not answer the older officer's calls, especially not since the two of them started their caregiver/little relationship. It took every ounce of willpower he possessed not to break the speed limit.

He had been riddled with worry all day, unable to stop the constant worst case scenarios from playing like a movie in his head, which caused his focus to stray more than once during calls. He honestly had no clue how he managed to get through the day without making any major screw-ups. As soon as his shift had come to an end, John had quickly changed into his civvies, sent a quick text off to Bailey to let her know he would be late, then made a beeline for his truck.

Thankfully, LA traffic wasn't as God awful tonight, and he arrived at Celina's place in just a little under twenty minutes. He was also fortunate enough to find a parking close to her unit.

The man hopped out of the truck and practically ran up the stairs to Celina's apartment. He rang the doorbell twice and waited.

When a minute passed and she hadn't answered the door, John rang the doorbell again and then followed it up with two knocks to the wooden frame.

Another minute went by without any sign of the young woman coming to answer the door, causing John's worry to skyrocket to new levels.

He had to keep his cool, though. For all he knew she was in the shower, or maybe she wasn't even home at all. Maybe she was at her mother's. Or... or maybe she was tied up somewhere, being tortured or God knows what.

John roughly shook his head.

No. No, he was being paranoid.

Reaching into his pocket, John pulled out his keychain and found the spare emergency key to Celina's apartment. He unlocked the door and cautiously stepped inside, quietly shutting the door behind him.

John took a look around the small, one-bedroom apartment. All of the lights were off except for the light above the kitchen, but fortunately there didn't appear to be any signs of a struggle having taken place. The bathroom door was open, so that ruled out a shower or the toilet. When his gaze landed on the slightly cracked bedroom door, though, a small sense of relief flooded through his veins when he saw a faint glow coming from inside. That relief, however, was short-lived.

When John pushed the door the rest of the way open, his heart dropped into his stomach as all of his previous worry returned at an almost nauseating rate.

Celina was huddled in bed against the headboard, wrapped in three thick, fuzzy blankets. Her hair was put up in a half-hazard ponytail, her eyes were glassy and half-lidded, and in the glow of (what he now realized was) her laptop he could see beads of sweat lining her forehead. Her gaze was on the laptop screen, but she hardly looked like she was watching whatever was playing. More importantly, she hadn't even noticed he was standing in her doorway.

Fuck It Friday

Tagged by the wonderful @snowviolettwhite! ❣️

Here's another (slightly longer) snippet from the next installment of A Bright Life:

After closing Malcolm's door, Gil rounded the car and climbed into the driver's seat. Before he turned the key into the ignition, however, the older man reached into the backseat and breathed an internal sigh of relief when he came across an empty Walmart bag. He handed the plastic, grey and green bag to Malcolm, just in case the kid got sick again on the way.

Aside from the quiet rustle that came from the bag in Malcolm's hands whenever he would fidget with it, the drive to Urgent Care was spent in relative silence. Fortunately, it took them less than twenty minutes to arrive, and Malcolm thankfully hadn't needed to be sick again in that time, either. After finding a parking close enough to the entrance so Malcolm wouldn't have to walk far, the older man helped the younger into the building just as he did back at the precinct.

When they walked in, Gil was relieved to note that there weren't too many people in the waiting room. The lobby held an elderly woman with greyed hair sat by herself with a book in her hands, an exhausted looking middle-aged couple sat together on the other end of the room, and sat across from them was a lone man who looked to be around Malcolm's age with a bloody cloth wrapped around his left forearm. With so few people, it hopefully wouldn't be long before they were called back.

Gil ushered Malcolm into one of the beige leather chairs, before going up to the receptionist's desk and getting his son checked in. The brown-haired man behind the desk handed him a pen and clipboard with three pages worth of paperwork to sign. Gil thanked the man and carried the forms back with him over to Malcolm's side. He took a seat right next to the young man and got to filling out the necessary forms for him.

As he neared the end of the second page, Gil felt a warm weight settle against his side. Malcolm had laid his head on Gil's left shoulder, and one of his hands had migrated to clutch a piece of the older man's coat. The kid's eyes were closed, but it was clear from his breathing that he was still awake. Gil couldn't help the fond smile that lifted the corners of his mouth.

Once Gil was done filling out the medical forms, he set the clipboard down on the end table beside him for the time being, not wanting to disturb his kid until it was absolutely necessary.

Over the next ten minutes, Gil watched as the other patients in the room were called back one by one. The man with the bloodied arm was called back first, then the elderly woman, and then the middle-aged couple.

"Malcolm Bright?"

Gil gently pushed Malcolm off his shoulder before grabbing the clipboard. Malcolm made a small, disgruntled noise at being moved and sluggishly blinked his eyes back open.

"Come on, son, it's time to get up," Gil said in a soft voice, holding out his free hand to help him up.

Malcolm grabbed the older man's hand and allowed him to pull him up. He swayed on his feet for a second, prompting Gil to tighten his grip on the kid's hand. When Malcolm didn't take his hand out of his once he regained his balance, Gil was more than content to keep holding on to him.

After handing over the clipboard to the nurse, she led them into the back and into one of the exam rooms. Malcolm sat down on gurney-like bed that was in the room, Gil at his side still holding his hand.

Oct 6: Creator Interview

Meet @sempiternalailurophile!

@sempiternalailurophile is a writer and she specializes in romance and creature AUs!

She got into Kuro in 2008, when the anime came out, and stopped following the manga around 2011. In 2020, she decided to catch back up and decided she had to become part of the fandom this time!

Some other things we asked!

Q: What work are you proudest of?

A: It’s definitely One Way Home. It’s the only longer fic I’ve ever written for any fandom, and the amount of time and effort I’ve spent on it is much greater than for any of the others. Although the plot is not extremely complex, it’s still significantly more so than what is typical for me, and I’m really glad I have been able to write as much for it so far as I have. I have been able to explore a lot of concepts and ideas I find fascinating and interesting in this fic and I hope to continue to do so until it is complete.

I am also very happy that other people have been enjoying it as well. I never thought I would get anywhere close to the amount of people leaving kudos, subscribing, and leaving nice comments on my little vampire time travel AU as I have, and I appreciate everyone’s support so very much. It has really given me encouragement to continue to write.

Q: What ships do you have, if any?

A: Sebaciel is by far my favorite Kuroshitsuji ship. There’s just been so much build-up of their relationship in the manga that I can’t help but feel that they belong together no matter what, even though I know their story is likely to end in tragedy. I can’t stand the thought of them being separated from each other, and I don’t think either of them would be able to go back to living normally if they lost the other.

I do enjoy some other ships as well too, though. Cielcest is excellent and it’s probably my second favorite ship in the series. R!Ciel’s history of obsessive behavior towards his twin brother is so enjoyable for me, and I tend to enjoy twincest ships in general, so it was always likely that I was going to enjoy this one.

There’s a number of Vinciel fanfics and fan artworks I’ve enjoyed quite a lot, and really most permutations of Vincent, Sebastian, r!Ciel, and o!Ciel together appeal to me.

I also think Wolfram/Sieglinde and Agni/Soma are cute ships.

Q: What are your favorite tropes?

A: Ahhhh this is such a hard question! I’m just going to list whatever comes to mind. I think I’m going to focus on tropes for fics and not so much for stories in general, since it’s helpful to narrow it down a bit. I mostly like to read romantic and/or sexual-themed fics, so the tropes I’m listing will largely be in that vein.

I enjoy stuff like: possessive behavior, human/non-human ships, generally unhealthy ships, codependency, size differences, age gap ships, marking, biting, blood drinking, scratching, rough sex, characters being extremely devoted to each other, romantic behavior, lots of jealousy...hmmm...

Q: Do you have a routine for your creative process?

A: I don’t really! I probably should, but I usually just write when I am in the mood to do so, and I mostly write on my phone in bed. About 70% of OWH and the entirety of Deep in the Woods and A Different Sort of Game were written like this.

I usually don’t listen to music when I write as I find that it tends to distract me, but there are sometimes exceptions.

Q: What gives you inspiration?

A: I think the most inspiring thing for me is to read other people’s fanfics. Even when I’m planning to write something extremely different from them, seeing stuff that other people wrote seems to turn on some module of my brain that goes “hey, if other people can write nice fics like these, maybe I can write something too, and mine could be like XYZ...”

Discussing concepts and ideas with others is also very helpful! Sometimes it’ll cause things to occur to me that never otherwise would have.

Additionally, writing prompts and lists of concepts/ideas.

Q: Is there anything you're currently working on?

A: Yes! Many. sob

Chapter 12 of OWH

A Sebastian-raises-Ciel AU (this is still Sebaciel wink)

A teacher/student Sebaciel AU

A very problematic Cielcest fic set during their time with the cult

A short Sebaciel fic set during Ciel’s PTSD episode in the Circus arc

Q: What inspired OWH?

A: I can’t find the exact prompt now, but it was a Reddit writing prompt that was very similar to this one:

[WP] When a time-traveller becomes stranded hundreds of years in the past they strike a bargain with an immortal vampire to give them a change to see their loved ones again someday.]

When I came across the version of this that I saw before I started writing OWH, I had already decided I wanted to write some sort of vampire-related Sebaciel AU (because I wanted to write a bunch of blood-drinking scenes and I thought a vampire AU would suit this very well), but I hadn’t decided what kind of story yet. And then I saw a post like this randomly while scrolling and it was just perfect, something that was different from anything I had ever seen anyone else do as a Sebaciel fic and something that would allow me to structure the narrative so I could add in all sorts of details I love.

Q: Is there anything coming up in it that you're excited about?

Yes! There’s a few. A specific important discussion that Sebastian and Ciel will have, an incident where Sebastian will protect Ciel, Ciel’s 14th birthday celebration…though not necessarily in this order.

There’s also a scene coming up in the very next chapter that I haven’t finished yet, but which I’m looking forward to writing and posting very much! I hope it will turn out as good when it’s written as it is in my imagination.

Q: What's your favorite detail you put in one of your works?

A: Hm...probably Sebastian and Ciel having a relationship that is sexual and romantic, but where Sebastian also provides a lot of practical care for Ciel. There’s something about the mixture of these facets of their relationship together that I find absolutely captivating, and I like to put it in all of my Sebaciel fics.

Where can you find her online?

Read A Different Sort of Game by sempiternalailurophile on ao3!

Tags: dead dove: do not eat, underage, grooming, manipulation

Summary: Ciel's older teenage neighbor Sebastian is hired to babysit him, but he does quite a lot more than simply supervise him...

“Sebastian, I want you to play a game with me.”

Sebastian watched out of the front window as Ciel’s parents’ car turned and drove out of sight, then closed the curtain. Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive were supposed to be gone for at least a few hours for some sort of workplace party at Vincent’s job, and they had hired Sebastian to babysit Ciel. Sebastian lived in the same neighborhood, which was how he had become acquainted with the Phantomhives, and he had been babysitting Ciel for the past two years whenever his parents needed to go somewhere without him.

[kuro-morale-events]

Read One Way Home by sempiternalailurophile on ao3!

Summary: When Ciel accidentally strands himself in the past with no way to get back to his own time, he has no other option but to make a deal with a vampire for his survival. But Sebastian is interested in more than just Ciel's blood.

Tags: dead dove: do not eat, underage, vampire!Seb, blood drinking, time travel

Ciel cursed and desperately pressed the 'abort' button on the transparent screen being projected from his wristband. He had not meant to actually activate it! He had only intended to see if it was real and peek at the options a bit. This couldn't be happening. He couldn't imagine how much trouble he would be in if his parents found out he had been playing around with this.

The wristband contained a top-secret military prototype technology that, supposedly, would allow the user to travel not only to any location on the planet to spy, but also had extremely limited time travel capabilities. Nothing more than a couple of days, at most; but a couple of days could be quite valuable if they were the right days. Ciel's father was the CEO of the military contractor that had invented it in their laboratories, and Ciel had overheard many discussions he was not likely meant to overhear regarding the existence of the technology and its alleged abilities.
