In joy and sorrow_3_englisch for the WIP ask? It is a very intriguing title 👀👀👀

Thank you for asking! It's part 3 of my latest story. Part 2 hasn't been posted yet (It's coming next week, probably Tuesday), but it's no longer in my WIP folder since it's finished (I have another folder for that). I can't really give anything away because it would spoil too much... In terms of time, it's set 2 weeks before they sail for Nassau. It's going to be quite emotional!

Trick, trick! Treat, treat!

Get to know you game! Answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to know better.

Last song I listened to: (every time i do one of these k realize i do not listen to enough music) Agora Hills by Doja Cat

Currently reading: apart from a shit-ton of fanfic for every fandom under the sun (and i really mean that, i'm jumping from atla to hawaii 50 to teen wolf to fast and furious to one piece and so many others), i'm trying to read the one piece manga, it's not going well, not cause i'm not enjoying it but because they are physical books and i'm currently in the mood to read face down in bed with my phone balanced on a pillow.

Currently watching: I'm doing a rewatch of Avatar: the Last Airbender and being continuously surprised by how well crafted this show is and how early on the plant the seeds for most of the important character moments and plot points.

Currently obsessed with: 3d modelling a tiny watercolor pallet that can go inside a business card holder (it's really cool and you should all ask me about it)

tagging whoever the fuck wants to do it but also imma make an effort to actually tag some people, zero pressure tho

13 and 37 for the get to know your writer ask game

13. What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

That practice really does make you better. You're not going to get better unless you continue to write.

And to not wait til you're "in the mood" to write. Just set a time, sit down, work on it. If I let myself be dictated by "the muse" as far as when I "felt" like writing, nothing would ever get finished.

37. How do you choose where to end a chapter?

I outline and structure the beats of a story pretty extensively. Story structure and pacing as like, nittygritty technical craft, are some of my strengths as a writer, probably from all the years spent reading and analyzing other ppl's work. I'm exceptionally good at knowing what a story needs, though every story needs something different.

For Break Up AU, the first two chapters were always going to be all from the present timeline, starting with the Silverflint reunion at a holiday party. And these two are broken up into Chap One as the Holiday Party and all the Building Tensions and Unsaid History and Bullshit Smalltalk with no real communication finally reaching a boiling point, up til the moment they finally touch and acknowledge that they were always going to fall back into bed. That chapter ends with:

They’ve been careful not to touch all night, so when Flint reaches out to grasp Silver’s hand, it's like a spark on a powder keg. Flint squeezes Silver’s hand firmly, once, eyes still married to each other, and his tongue flicks out to wet his bottom lip. Silver gasps softly as Flint lets his fingers drift up and along the inside of Silver’s wrist, far too deliberate to be an accident. He caresses the skin there lightly, fingertips warm, far more intoxicating than the alcohol. Flint's touch ignites, sizzling along that small contact. It consumes all the oxygen in the room until Silver can't breathe. It is so much and yet nowhere near enough and Flint’s eyes—all night his goddamn eyes—he’s given up any appearance of restraint, staring at Silver like a ravenous shark scenting blood. Long moments pass and still Flint doesn't let go, tracing the veins of Silver’s inner wrist with his fingertips. It’s maddening, lighting up every nerve from his palm to his elbow to his cock, surging to life in his slacks. “Do you want to–” Flint begins in a rush, voice husky. “Yes,” Silver whispers before he can finish the sentence.

Chap Two is the desperate reunion sex and morning after.

And then after that reunion, chapter 3 begins with the first flashback to the pre-break up timeline, the night they met.

The reason for these specific breaks are because an in medias res start for something with two timelines is always going to be more interesting to read, and having those timelines be interlocking is going to create echoes and parallels and pain and juxtaposition that won't hit as hard read in chrono order. So for Break Up you see the reunion party and sex directly followed by the first meeting party. You can already see where they're headed in their beginning.

Specifically, breaking Chap One right after the moment they sort of crack composure completes an arc within the chapter itself, a tipping point, as well as sucking the reader along to the next chapter like a gravitational pull. We're right there with the boys, falling headlong back into each other.

That was a really long answer and I could keep talking about structure, with textual examples from Break Up, infinitely lmao

Thanks for the ask friend <3
