Excerpt of Chapter 9:
"Tom's Reward"
With her forearm still tingling and carefully propped against the back of the sofa, she found herself lying on her back, her chest rising and falling fast as she watched Tom slowly unbuttoning his shirt. She still felt a little delirious from the pain of his branding and the sensation that had been their first kiss, no matter how short it had been, and seeing him now, actually engaging in those things he didn't deem worthy of his time, left her breathless and with her head spinning even more.
She blinked and suddenly he was right on top of her, his hands holding her face as he leaned down to close his lips around hers. Her gasp was the culmination of all those feelings she had harboured for him over the years, all the longing and lusting and need for him. Finally feeling his hands on her, his mouth, his lips and his tongue, his weight and his body, his knees pushing against her thighs as he forced her legs open, it quickly overwhelmed her enough to surrender herself to him completely.
She didn't even wonder that, despite his obvious aversion against any physical touch or desire, he knew exactly what he was doing. He kissed her demandingly, his tongue forcing its way into her mouth, and pressed his pelvis against hers, and even through the layers of clothes that were still between them she could feel his excitement for her pressing right against her core.
She'd assumed it was because of her, but unbeknownst to her it was just his desire to take her, make her his, bask in the power he had over her. Tom didn't want to bring her pleasure or satisfy her needs, he wanted to own her, dominate her, bend her to his will, and most of all, he wanted to feel that power surging through her – and what better way to experience that than by becoming one with the vessel that held it.
Because that was what she was to him: a body sheltering something that was useful to him, very, very useful, if he played his cards right. And he knew he did, when she started moaning softly beneath him, just from having him kiss her. She was putty in his hands and knowing that only spurred his desire to claim her even more.
He leaned back then and looked at her, and all he could see behind those brown irises was lust. Lust for him, lust for the things they were about to do, lust to indulge in these activities he had kept her from thinking all these years. She was very imaginative, he had to give her that, if he would have the sense for it, he would have blushed under the ideas this little girl kept in her pretty head. He took inspiration in her thoughts for a little longer, before he gave her a smile and another peck and then leaned back once more.
She watched him breathlessly as he moved back, settling between her legs. He didn't waste time to undress her the old-fashioned way, he just flicked his finger, not even his wand as she noticed with growing admiration, and she felt her clothes disappearing into thin air. And suddenly she lay completely bare before him, her chest rising and falling fast, making her breasts move in a steady rhythm, and her legs were splayed and unable to close and hide her most precious place as he was still kneeling between them.
Under other circumstances she would have felt embarrassed and mortified to be this vulnerable and exposed, but under Tom's dark gaze she felt oddly calm, ready to do anything with and for him. And he knew as much, she could tell. He was watching her closely, his eyes wandering over her naked body, taking in every little detail. When he looked directly into her eyes, she froze on the spot, completely mesmerized by the void that were his dark eyes.
She didn't even notice his touch at first, only when he would curl his fingers inside her did she realize he had pushed them past her folds and straight into her wetness and the feeling left her breathless. It wasn't just his fingers, it was what he was doing – and she couldn't be sure, but she felt tingles like tiny electric shocks surging through her body as if he would channel his magic right against her most sensitive spots, only increasing the sensation.
Her moans came sudden and loud, her whole body convulsing under his touch, and while she was consumed by pleasure, her head spinning and full of static, he kept going, fingering her to the brink of insanity, as she thrashed her body into the cushions of the couch, only held in place by his other hand on her stomach, whose thumb was pressed right against her clit, issuing the same kind of magical touch as he rubbed it roughly.
Orgasm after orgasm rolled over her and she had no idea how she was still functioning under the pressure of having her body going through all these types of stimulations. She felt utterly spent when he would finally let go of her, not that she would have noticed right away as the tremors were still shuddering through her every nerve and limb.
Breathing heavily, her lips parted and trembling and dry, she opened her eyes slightly and found him sitting on the edge of the couch, watching her, his wet fingers held out in front of him. Somehow she knew what he wanted and without any word shared between them, she sat up and cradled his hand between her shaking fingers as if it was his most priced possession. For her it was, having brought her these amazing feelings still resonating through her lower body.
Her eyes were on his face when she leaned closer and brought her lips to his fingertips, tasting herself on his skin as she sucked his fingers into her mouth one at a time, swirling her tongue around them feverishly until she deemed them clean enough. He watched her almost curiously, no other emotion evident on his handsome features. As she was about to lower his hand, he insisted on pushing two of his fingers past her lips and deeper into her mouth.
She felt him caressing her tongue and the inside of her cheeks as she sat very still and let him explore her mouth, and she didn't even flinch when he moved his fingers deeper, pressing against the back of her throat, teasing it with his fingertips. Holding his gaze, she successfully fought the urge to gag around him and he rewarded her with a dark smile as he continued forcing his fingers deeper. Tears rolled from the corners of her eyes and she held her breath, her entire body stiffening under the sensation.
But she didn't fight it, of course she didn't. She was his to do whatever with. And he knew that very well. Suddenly she felt his other hand around her throat, squeezing against his fingers lodged inside her. Her eyes stared at him pleadingly as the urge to gasp or gag or do anything against his literal choke-hold grew almost unbearable. He stared right back, not giving in just yet. Feeling more than light-headed, she raised her hands to claw at his wrists before even holding them there felt too much for her to handle.
Just as her grip loosened as her body was about to fall into the tight embrace of unconsciousness, he let go of her throat and pulled his fingers out, urging her to breathe. She was barely able to do so, gasping soundlessly, then coughing violently, her entire body shaking against whatever it had just experienced. His wet fingers grazed her cheek and she calmed down slowly, her eyelids fluttering as she looked at him.
“You're such a good girl,” he praised her as he leaned closer to press his mouth against her trembling lips, his voice causing her to smile despite the slight discomfort in her throat.
In the haze nestling inside her head, she then felt him moving her, laying her down on her back again as he grabbed her thighs and pushed her legs upwards against her torso, holding her wide open as he positioned himself right against her. She heard the faint rustle of fabric, her head still spinning, and she barely registered him pressing his tip against her core. Her hands snaked around her legs as she hooked them around the back of her knees and held them in place, her feet dangling in the air as she watched him closely.
His cold gaze was on her, no emotion whatsoever on his pale face, as he crawled over her, one hand lining himself up with her entrance, the other propped next to her hip to support his body as he leaned over her slightly. With his eyes fixed on hers, he then lowered himself and in a swift, almost harsh motion drove himself right into her tight warmth. She moaned, shuddering under the intrusion as he buried his cock as deep as possible, pushing his entire weight down onto her pelvis.
He then shifted against her, leaned on one knee, while his other leg moved to the floor, giving him more leverage to start moving against her as he grabbed her thighs firmly and folded her legs almost brutally against her, before he settled into a fast rhythm that knocked any remaining air right out of her. Her noises mixed with the slapping of skin against skin as he thrust into her at an ever-growing pace, deep and fast and hard, in and out until she could barely feel anything any more.
She was a whimpering mess beneath him, pushed into the cushions by the powerful snaps of his hips, her breaths too erratic to let any new air into her aching lungs, leaving her breathless and light-headed, and yet she felt like she had never felt before as he quickly brought her back to that sensation of pure bliss. Every thrust moved her up the sofa, every downwards motion pulled her back towards him, his hands bruising her skin, his girth filling and stretching her, scraping past those special spots that made her toes curl up painfully.
Her heart felt as if it would explode inside her chest at any second as her insides convulsed and her walls tightened around him rhythmically, gripping him, squeezing him, pulling him in deeper. Amidst the blindingly bright pleasure exploding within her and her ear- and room-filling moans and feeble attempts to breathe, she then heard a groan coming from the man above her, and for a moment she just stared at him in awe, seeing him so affected by what they were doing, his jaw clenched, his brows furrowed in concentration and his lips pressed tightly together. There was even a faint hint of a blush on his high cheekbones.
When he noticed her gaze, the tension on his face shifted into an almost soft expression, causing her to feel an immense rush of warmth flooding her insides. It might have been his seed pouring out of him as he came inside her with a deep shuddering of his hips as he halted his movements for a moment, or it was something else she was too afraid to name. Whatever it was, it made her lean up past the tight grip he had on her folded legs and once he let go of her, she was able to sit up and grab his face, before she pulled him down to press her trembling lips to his, kissing him through his release.
He kept moving against her, slower now, one of his hands finding the back of her head as he held her tightly in place, kissing her back just as eagerly. Once he stopped twitching inside her, she was almost disappointed that he pulled out immediately, painting her walls with his seed as he did so, leaving the last drops of his cum on her heated skin as he leaned back. She saw him breathing heavier when he let go of her face, watching her closely before his eyes moved down between her legs where his release was spilling from her quivering core.
Something dark washed over his features then and she had barely time to react when he suddenly pushed his fingers back into her hole, the squelching sound quite obscene even in her pleasure riddled mind. She shivered against his touch and frowned slightly as she realized what he was doing. He was scraping his seed out of her. His fingers moved deep and curled inside her and it was not to give her more pleasure, he was actively trying to clean her tight channel.
Just as she was wondering why he would do that and why with his fingers no less, he grabbed her chin with his other hand and made her look at him, before he forced her jaw open. She obeyed, not that she had any other choice, and gasped deeply when he would push his cum covered fingers into her mouth. His gaze was dark and she understood immediately as she began to flick her tongue around his digits, licking his salty seed right off his skin, ignoring the tear falling past her lashes.
Once he deemed his fingers to be clean, he would shove them back past her wet folds, scooping up more for her to clean and swallow, his grip on her chin never easing. She endured the procedure with her heart racing and her body quivering and when he would finally release her chin, she inhaled sharply, trying to relax, only for him to grab the back of her head and push her face right against his groin.
She whimpered against him, scrambling into a more comfortable position to be able to focus on the new task he had for her. With shaking hands she cradled his half-hardened cock between her fingers and started licking it gingerly, tasting more of his bitter seed, yet the more she put on her tongue, the better it felt as it slid down her hurting throat. Breathing through her nose, she barely noticed his tightening grip in her hair as he pushed her further onto him until her lips were wrapped around his shaft as his tip scraped against the back of her throat.
Too numb to gag around him, she focused on pressing her tongue against him, feeling him growing harder and thicker inside her as he started moving her head back and forth to give him the friction he apparently desired. Her hands gripping his thighs, she let him use her to his liking and he did so without hesitation, not letting her catch her breath or rest her aching jaw or swallow the saliva pooling around him.
He even started pushing his hips against her as well, forcing his length deeper and deeper as he angled her head to allow the motion. All she could do was whimper and squeeze her eyes shut as more and more tears fell from her lashes, and not even her fingernails digging into his skin stopped him from pushing in and out of her mouth at a rapid pace. Only when she felt him twitching against her tongue would he release his grip on her and allowed her to pull back, and as she took deep shuddering breaths he wasted no time to shoot his load right into her face.
She flinched against it, feeling it hitting her cheeks and nose and eyebrows, before he pushed his throbbing tip back past her lips and emptied himself right onto her tongue. He held her jaw tightly, not allowing her to escape the grasp, as he filled her up more and more until it spilled past his length and down her chin, and this time she couldn't help but gag against the sheer amount of it. He pushed her head back then and she spluttered and coughed, trying to swallow what he had given her.
While she was still trying to regain her composure, she noticed him standing up. Looking up at him, she met his dark gaze. His pale face was hard again, no emotion whatsoever on his handsome features as his eyes wandered over her soiled face and body. “Clean yourself up,” was all he said to her, before he turned around and left through a door into the deeper parts of Borgin and Burkes.

End notes: And I thought I'd enjoy writing a Dark Sebastian, when all I had to write for was Tom in his natural habitat! I feel almost sorry for poor Genevieve...

A Soul Eater fanfic. Read on: AO3 | FFn
Third in a series of 31 prompt-based one-shots. Prompts from this list.
---------------
A/N: I do not like the name Kami aesthetically, but it seems so deeply rooted in fanon that I don't know what else to call her. So that's it for now... Or Kamiko because it can be a name or an affection, since the suffix -ko means child and it's often added to Japanese names... Also do like the translation of Kami to English, it's fitting given the context and some personal headcanons about her... Eh. Anyway. Oh yeah, this is like...based on manga canon but can be applied to anime cuz we know nothing about this scenario in anime. But we do in the manga... No spoilers. Enjoy. Fanart for this story here. 3. Love begets love
"...And she has ten toes, and ten tiny toenails... They're perfect. Oh! And her hair is the softest you've ever felt, I've never felt anything like it! Except her skin, and her eyelashes. Did I tell you about her eyes? I think they're going to turn out green. They're so perfect and pretty, my little Maka..."
Stein stared at the weapon as he all but pressed his face against the glass of the hospital nursery, looking in to where there were well over a dozen identical bassinets containing to Stein's eye identical babies but for the blue and pink blankets they were each wrapped in.
"Why isn't she with Kamiko?" Stein finally interrupted to ask, unfamiliar with this practice of displaying babies behind glass like specimens to be observed in a laboratory.
"So she can recover from the delivery. And so I could show you Maka as soon as possible," Spirit said, finally turning his bright eyes onto Stein. His breath had fogged the glass and Stein watched the spot rapidly vanish in the cool of the hospital air.
"To show me?" Stein said, genuinely surprised.
"They want to protect the newborns from germs, so they have the nursery to show them to visiting family."
'Family...?' Stein thought.
Spirit had finally gone silent, his nose nearly touching the glass again as he stared inside at one bassinet holding a pink-wrapped tiny bundle. Stein wasn't sure which one the weapon was staring at, but he wasn't going to ask.
The day had already been confusing enough, first with Spirit's frantic phone call not twenty minutes after returning from their assignment that Kamiko was in labor and that he needed him, Stein's genuine panic and confusion over the various implications of those words and the request that he meet them at the hospital, and then everything culminating in his holding Spirit's hair back as he vomited into a trash can in the hallway after witnessing the birth, his own hair still wet from the shower.
The eighteen-year-old new father had clearly recovered from the initial trauma and had been babbling for at least ten minutes straight after he'd come back out of the delivery room and the baby had been moved into the nursery. He had described every one of the newborn's features at least twice and proclaimed it perfect, and Stein simply took in this new and unique behavior from his former partner of five years. He had never seen anything like it, and it was something that at least deserved observation.
It was also an acceptable distraction for the moment over the fact that with this birth, any hope he had of reclaiming his weapon partner was well and truly lost. Nothing sealed two people together like a baby did, and he was honestly surprised that Spirit had asked for him to be there at all. Especially considering the animosity between he and Spirit's...wife.
The word turned his mouth to cotton even in thought, but he ignored his own feelings as he always did and refocused on the young man next to him whose excitement suddenly buoyed again.
"We can go in! Do you want to hold her?"
If Stein hadn't been partially wrapped up in the turmoil of his own emotions, he may have said yes simply due to the infectious joy in his former partner's eyes and voice.
"Some other time," was what he managed before Spirit whirled around and practically skipped through a door adjacent to the nursery, and Stein stared into the blank space left in the weapon's wake. The still, silent air seemed somehow to lack oxygen without Spirit's presence, and Stein knew from experience that his mind would quickly fill the void with static if he didn't seek distraction soon.
However, distraction was provided for him within moments as Spirit and a nurse, the former now wearing a mask and gloves, emerged from the side-room but within the nursery this time. Spirit's stride was quick, and he reached the bassinet before the nurse had closed the door behind them and was reaching down to pick up the pink bundle. The nurse said something that Stein ignored as Spirit hurried back to the glass where Stein was waiting, holding up his tiny prize so that the meister could see her face.
The baby was asleep, and swaddled up the way she was all that Stein could see were chubby cheeks, well-formed and startlingly familiar bone structure, and wisps of flaxen hair from beneath the pink cap the infant wore.
"Isn't she perfect? She's so beautiful!" Spirit said, his voice muffled but spilling over with excitement as Stein gazed down at what was the final nail in the coffin of his and his weapon's five years of partnership.
At that moment the infant's rosy lips parted, pressed together briefly. And then dark lashes lifted to reveal eyes exactly like Spirit's.
A choked sob drew Stein's attention upward, and he watched the hospital mask Spirit wore begin to stain with tears that streamed down the weapon's face as the nurse hovered nearby saying something that Stein filtered out almost entirely, seemingly scolding the very young father for his emotional display due to the potential contamination. But Spirit's happiness couldn't be contained, nor could Stein ignore it.
He looked down again into those dilated, teal eyes that seemed to be gazing back into his and forced himself to relax in order to really look at the baby. And of course, there cradled in Spirit's arms and held protectively between his hands, was a tiny soul. It was bright, fresh, and new... The little wavelength seemed to reach outward in every direction, searching blindly, but without fear as she remained safely under her father's protection.
Stein looked up from the tiny spark in the baby's chest to her eyes again that somehow seemed to see through him even though it was impossible for there to be a cognizant thought in her head.
"I, ah...don't tell Kami, but I... Would you... Stein I'd like you to be her godfather," Spirit said through his messy tears.
Stein looked up to the weapon's face.
"It's not actually a religious role or anything, just...just someone she can look up to, and count on... To help teach her. To be there for her," Spirit continued. His voice had leveled out and his eyes were unblinking as he stared down at Stein, the younger meister still shorter by a few inches even though he was fast catching up.
Spirit fell uncharacteristically silent, and Stein replayed the words in his mind over and over, unsure he'd heard them clearly.
'Someone she can look up to, and count on...'
For all those things...for his child, Spirit wanted him?
Stein looked with his soul's sight again at the tiny, pure wavelength in Spirit's arms and then beyond to the soul as familiar to him as his own. Spirit's wavelength was radiating joy and warmth greater than Stein had ever seen, and while most of it was due to his daughter, there was a good deal of it directed at him.
He hadn't dared to hope any longer for his own happiness...
"I...accept," he said, the words coming out almost as a question.
Relief flooded out across Spirit's wavelength, and Stein was perplexed. He knew he could get answers to all of his questions and that Spirit would give them. It would take but a breath to touch his wavelength to his former weapon's, meet him in the resonance that had been abandoned and had left his soul starving for months.
But he couldn't. Not with her nearby. She would know.
Stein could feel the other meister's soul now that he was looking properly, and even from another room in the hospital he could sense the massive tangle of her wavelength. He supposed it probably happened to many women after a trauma like giving birth. But then again he'd always found her wavelength to be erratic.
He let his vision of the souls in front of him fade as he looked down at the infant, unable to meet Spirit's eyes anymore. His chest had gone tight, and he was certain that to actually see the love in the weapon's eyes that he felt radiating out of his wavelength would be his undoing.
He had to stop being selfish and think of his friend.
"Thank you," Spirit said gratefully. "I'll...keep working on Kami, but..."
"You're right," Stein interrupted before Spirit could say something else to send his emotions spiraling even further out of control. "She's beautiful, Senpai."
Spirit blinked and looked down at his tiny daughter, who still seemed to stare at Stein. The young meister lifted a single finger toward the glass.
"Welcome to the world...Maka Albarn."

Currently I read a bkdk fanfic with time AND dimension twists. And it so good!
I’m on the middle on it right now and the narrative close for culmination at some point. It hilariously wrongish correctly. I don’t know how to explain my feelings about it BUT IM IN LOVE with it already.
In one world we have “canon” MHA and in another it’s a world where Izuku and Katsuki best friends, Izuku quirkless but they both attend to UA. AFO was defeated 15 years before their birth and AM never was a Symbol of Peas and inherited OFA.
The author of this fic makes so many points in so many situations and I like reading them point of view.
If you curious the name is “If he’s anything like me” by @kirifreehugs on Wattpad.
I don’t have access for AO3 and miss many other good things but bear with me

so there was this fanfic...
Okay I'm actually going insane, but I have returned to the gavin/rk900 fandom and I wanted to read this fanfic, so I hopped on the ao3.
I can't find it.
The fanfic goes like this - it has pretty heavy sub/dom undertones and a errr ugh choking kink.... the scene I remember the best is that rk900 makes reed beg in the bathroom and does stuff with his boot.
I also remember that it was surprisingly slowburn - rk900 was kinda asexual and only interacted sexually himself in the last chapters. Also their relationship culmination happened at the end and reed had a broken jaw? I dont remember why but yeah, that happened.
PLEASEPLEASE if you remember something help this poor lad find the gem.
I even looked at my account's history from SIX years ago, and I have a bad feeling that it could have been removed around 2018.

I'm reading 'the more that you say..." on ao3 while sick in bed. I downloaded it onto my kobo so I can read it like a book because GIRL (gender neutral). I'm only one chapter in, and this feels like a mystery I would pick up at the book shop. I am intrigued, I am invested. You've done an incredible job at creating a concept, constructing a story, getting the readers' attention, and keeping it (which is what makes or breaks a good story imo). Plus, the characters are interesting and relatable.
I know people have different motivations for writing fanfiction, but if yours is to practice before you start mainstream publishing, then girl (g/n), do it. I know I'm just a random internet commenter, but I've read a lot of books in my time and seen more movies than you could believe possible. I know a good story when I see it, and YOU are telling a great one. You are good at this.
ummmmm hi???? I need you to know this made my day yesterday so thank you <3 (also I hope you get to feeling better quickly!) This story was one that I came up with a concept and then really had so much fun layering it into the idea I ended up writing. Eerie mystery has always been one of my favorite vibes, but I wasn't sure how good I'd be at writing it because it is such a delicate line to walk, but I absolutely ended up loving it. This concept of grief cycles and love breaking the cycles, the way it clouds vision, the different characters displaying aspects of it- anger, bargaining, depression, etc. It was highly personal, and being able to build this world and these dynamics was so fun. I just love storytelling? So I'm so glad if it resonates and ugh <3 thank you. But! Yeah, I started writing fanfic a year ago because I've always loved stories (books, movies) and thought up these worlds in my head, but wasn't sure if I was capable of putting them to paper in an interesting way. Had some things happen and dove into it, gave it a shot, and it turned out I love it? I've used all these stories to grow my skills this past year and it's culminated in a few like this one I'm really proud of. I keep going back and forth on if I'm actually any good so thank you hahaha (don't you love imposter syndrome?) It's been encouragement like this that made me decide to believe in myself and try to publish :) So that's my major focus at the moment. I know it's a really hard business, but I love it too much not to give it a shot. So! Editing at the moment for beta reading and then it's on to querying. Who knows what'll happen, but messages like this mean the world to me so thank you!!! (I'm around if you ever want to talk story! I could go on and on all day as some people know hahaha especially with this one)

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 2 - Established Relationships
Tumblr media
Continuing from last week's theme of "Groundhog Day" we get to look at another trope from @floraone 's matrix - "Established Relationships". This week’s theme was chosen by the amazing @beej88 (please make sure to check out her Sailor Moon art!)
A bit of a disclaimer - I have gone ahead and mapped out which stories I would like to use for potential upcoming posts, so a few of the ones that would also fit this trope have moved to other categories. As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries)
The Game - @beej88
I think including this in this list MIGHT be a spoiler in and of itself, but this is a super fun story about letting go of some inhibitions while facing realities of adult life. 
To Have and to Hold - @linlamont
This was a contribution to the most recent UsaMamo week and hands down of my favorite entries. We get to see how the wedding planning is getting to Usagi, her deepest insecurities, a very supportive Mamoru and some very lemony scenes. And the best part? Amazing art at the end of every chapter!
Sunday Dinner - Algae
A nice slice of life short story about how Mamoru feels over the years about Sunday family dinners at Usagi's house.
Prison of Hair - @master-ray5
A super fluffy one-shot about how grateful King Endymion is for the life he has. The love we saw in the manga from Mamoru to both Usagi and Chibi-usa and their sleepovers is very well paralleled in this short story.
The First Year - @uglygreenjacket
This one is actually one of the first fics I have read when I was looking for something that would go between the wedding at the end of the manga and them becoming rulers of Crystal Tokyo. These series of interconnected stories get us through the ups and downs of everyday life, culminating in an amazing scene at a conbini, that makes me smile even now that I am thinking about it. 
Pretenses - @idesofnovember
This two-shot shines a light on the adjustments that need to happen when you are living together with someone you love and how things that are important to one should be recognized as such by the other partner. 
What are your favorite Established Relationship fanfics? What trope should we cover next week? Let me know! Otherwise, I am thinking of covering some of my favorite unfinished ones.

Thanks, @kay-elle-cee!
Writers Truth or Dare
🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 
I first discovered fanfic in middle school, around the time the seventh HP book had just come out. I hadn't really been aware of online fandom before that, except really peripheral stuff like "what character are you?" type quizzes. That was also around the time I was first allowed to use the internet without constant supervision, and it all kind of culminated in me wanting to know what happened after DH and finding the answer in fanfic. And, eventually, deciding to try my hand at writing it myself.
I was in a lot of fandoms during my teenage years, but I didn't really realize it was something I could continue to do as an adult. Like, I was aware of fandom adults existing, but I also assumed they were the exceptions and that I would need to give it up. So I did, in my early 20s. But, a few years ago, I decided to re-read my Harry Potter books, with the idea of seeing whether I wanted to keep them or get rid of them. Did they still hold real nostalgia value? While there are certainly things about them I see differently as an adult, not only did I still enjoy the characters and world, I ended up with ideas that led me to reading fics, and to writing my own again, after years of saying I was done with all that.
So both times around, it was HP.
☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?
I'm pretty sure I've answered this before, but I can't find the post. Anyway, when I made my AO3 account, I did it specifically because I had ideas about the Black family I wanted to do something with. So the star part is a reference to their astronomy naming traditions. Midnight has to do with the fact that I'm a pretty severe night owl, and midnight is one of my favorite times of day. (It might also have been a little bit inspired by the Taylor Swift album? idk, I don't remember consciously thinking about that, but I am a swiftie and I did pick the name a few months after the album came out, so it was probably there on a subconscious level).

Fanfic Writer 20 Questions!
I was tagged by the lovely @lumiereandcogsworth​!! Thanks dearie!! :D
1. how many works do you have on ao3? 146 and counting!
2. what’s your total ao3 word count? 596,943
3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they? A lot. Too many to name all of them here.
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
The Broken Doll - my Grandmaster/Loki fix-it fic
A Word - a barisi fic
Runts Make Petty Kings - my Loki/Jane Foster epic space adventures fic, which I’m still pretty proud of
Plus One - another barisi fic
Let’s Hope This Goes Swimmingly - and another barisi fic
5. do you respond to comments? why or why not? I try to! Especially lately I’ve been trying to make it a habit to respond. Sometimes I don’t because either I simply don’t know what to say or I see the comment, but don’t have the energy to respond and i promise myself i will later but then i forget LOL
6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? I’ve written a few really angsty endings in my time, but maaaaaan Violet Skies really has to take the cake. Like, the ending was so angsty, I decided to write two sequels just so the story didn’t end on that note 😂 No other fic has ever compelled me to do that before
7. do you write crossovers? Bitch, that’s all I write 95% of the time these days! XD I’ve only written 2 non-crossover fics in the past year. Yes, i know I have a problem
8. have you ever received hate on a fic? I have, but it’s very rare and frankly only one particular time popped into my head from the past 5 years. There are benefits to writing niche crack crossover fics hardly anybody reads i guess
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind? YEEEEEP idk, go look at the tags on my E-rated fics and find out 😏
10. have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, one of my older fics was uploaded to a website I had never heard of without my permission and honestly, I have no idea what happened after I filed my complaint
11. have you ever had a fic translated? Yep! My two Star Wars merman fics Horizon and Submerge were translated into Russian with my permission :D
12. have you ever co-written a fic before? Not really. I’ve had detailed discussions about ideas that I later wrote into fic or was written into fic by the person I was talking with, but nothing officially collaborated on
13. what’s your all-time favorite ship? (LA) Jafar/Prince Adam. not to sound like a narcissist, but it’s such a me ship. Cuz I started shipping it under very specific circumstances that I, personally, was going through and provided a very personal, safe space during a time I was still getting over being in a less than kind larger fandom. It’s a culmination of pieces of other fandoms I’ve been in over the years and am still in. I’m very protective of it, but I also get very excited when other people show interest. If you’re interested, please tell me! Please write and draw them! I need more people in this dinghy of a ship XD
14. what’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Probably my Jafar/Adam Absolute Boyfriend/I’m Your Man AU. I started writing it around the time I’m Your Man premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and Dan Stevens was doing a lot of promo for it and naturally it got me thinking about robot boyfriend!Adam which reminded me of that manga I read years ago. I would love to finish this AU someday. There’s a lot of fun ideas I put into it and I like what I wrote so far. But I reached a point with the fic where I didn’t know where I wanted to take it and I’ve been stumped ever since
15. what are your writing strengths? I’ve been told I’m good at writing angst and world building. And smut. Apparently I’m very good at writing smut lol
16. what are your writing weaknesses? Sometimes I’ll word things weirdly because I tend to write as my brain is thinking and y’know sometimes we don’t think in complete sentences or we think in concepts and those concepts don’t translate into a full sentence as easily as you picture it. It’s why I feel like my descriptions can get choppy. Also, I think I use unnecessary conjunctions and sequencers too much
17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? I think it’s fine as long as it’s done well and not over-used
18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for? Pokémon. i was 6 and i wrote self-insert fic. it was very bad but i remember being very proud of myself for using the word “sighed”
19. what’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written? Violet Skies. I put so much into that fic. I got through some pretty dark times with that fic at my back. I don’t know if it’s my best fic, but it’s the one I put the most love into, which is saying a lot because (as sappy as this sounds) I try to write all my fics with love. I try to put my energy into writing characters and ideas that I love, or else what’s the point? write for love
20. who do you tag? Only if you want to <3 @pigsinablanketfort @zebsfloppyears @thatpratdragonlady @xavantina @loflight501 aaaand anybody else who wants to do it can consider themselves tagged!! :D

Hey, this is like. Super out of nowhere but I don't have an AO3 account lol. I don't really read fanfic often, nothing against it just never really got into it, but I absolutely love Whiskey Old Fashioned Sour - I've never actually waited and been excited when a fic updated before haha. So I just wanted to say like, great job! I write so I know how important feedback can be 😂
On a like. Deeper note lol. I've always felt a kind of kinship to the aromantic label, at odds to other intermittent feelings I have about friendship and relationships and stuff. I'm struggling with re-entering the dating scene with all of its Expectations after getting out of an abusive possessive relationship earlier this year, and I've not been able to handle much romance or sex in media bc of the weird associations it has for me recently. But your John and Arthur are just 👌 good vibes all round and make me feel just more secure in everything and comfortable with myself. So. Thank you. And I can't wait to read the new chapter tonight 😊
oh wow, thank you so much!!! i'm so glad that you've been connecting with whisky and that you've been enjoying it--this fic means a lot to me, and i get so excited seeing other people find meaning and enjoyment in it. getting this ask was really lovely--i was feeling a bit down about my writing tonight, and seeing this in my askbox really helped chase away those feelings of inadequacy, so thank you so much 💕💕💕
and yeah, as an aroace person, portraying aromantic relationships is something that's very important to me and that i've been trying to do more in my works recently. it feels so natural with john and arthur, given the complexity of their relationship in canon, and i love playing around with the way they love one another and how it goes beyond the boundaries of what we might define as platonic or romantic. (that's actually one of the reasons i introduced a sexual element to their relationship--besides the fact that whisky!arthur is allo, i also just really like the concept of them having this kind of intimacy together, but it's just one component amongst all the other moments of intimacy they have. it's not a culmination of their love--just another part of it.) all that is to say is that i'm happy to hear that you're liking john and arthur's dynamic in whisky, and i'm glad that you can see parts of yourself in them 💜
(and i hope you like the new chapter!! it does have explicit sexual elements in it, but they should be easily skippable should you desire to skip them!)

for my own curiousity, i made AI write a fanfic for me and i need to say this- no one is stealing the writer's job!! AI could write you an email and that's cool cuz i hate writing emails too but novels? na it's so fucking bland, and this line is the proof of it -
In a moment of reckless abandon, Aaron closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to Juliette's, igniting a firestorm of desire that consumed them both. Their kiss was fierce and passionate, a culmination of years of longing and suppressed emotions.
But even as they surrendered to the intoxicating rush of their newfound connection, they knew that their love was forbidden – a dangerous temptation that could spell disaster for them both.
And yet, in each other's arms, they found solace and strength, a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness.
they met like 200 words ago and yea if ao3 is down for ages I would still not read this shit :/

Writing this here in case your AO3 inbox is flooded with comments, since I’ve no doubt it probably is.
Have you ever had a baffling number of happenstances happen to you and finally, finally found the reason?
This is exactly how I feel in this exact moment, fresh out of reading “You, Specifically”, typing this on my phone, fingers trembling.
I stumbled into D&D after seeing a random picture of a D20 with a miniature goldfish inside. I found Harry Potter as a substitute when someone took my library’s copy of Narnia before I got the chance. I suddenly started searching for Theomione fics after an accidental click in the AO3 filter.
Somehow, all of this culminated into finding this piece of art. Every sentence, every quip, every witty banter in these 2 chapters feels as if all the planets have aligned and all the dopamine pathways in my brain have lit up into an explotion of euphoric fireworks.
I’m utterly in love with how Theo and Hermione observed and truly grasped each other all those years without the other ever noticing, like stars that orbited each other without ever meeting, and then fucking sputtering candles suddenly bring them together into this breathtaking supernova. It’s so devastating in its (seemingly) mundane loveliness. I melt and blush and cackle along with every character. They’re all so distinct, even with Hermione and Theo at the center, that they feel like my own D&D party and I’m filled with nostalgic fondness. This is all the rom-coms I never truly get because I can never relate, then suddenly I’m immersed in a fanfic about a wizarding delegate and a spell technician in a D&D session and it hits me: this is the movie I’ve always wanted to bawl over popcorn and ice cream over. This one, specifically.
I’m half a year late and I don’t know if you’ll read this because you’re a very prolific writer (I read all of your Theomione fics in a day and left this one for last, had a hunch this will ruin me for other fics in the best possible way. I haven’t even read Incandescent yet! Only if you’re willing to send it, of course) and a damn good one at that. I just have to pay my respects. I’m obligated to since this is the least your writing deserves. Thank you for being here, thank you for writing, thank you for existing.
Kia ora!
I've been agonising over how to answer this all day because how am I worthy? Where are the words? What gratitude can I give that conveys my awe? 'Thank you'? That paltry, tawdry strumpet? It barely suffices in the most conventional of circumstances let alone this.
I did see this comment on the fic as I am by no means flooded by comments. Comments are rare jewels in fic land and I treasure each and every one like a filament with which to light my soul.
Therefore you, dearest beloved reader, are sun and stars and aurora firmament and I most fervently appreciate you.
I loved writing 'you, specifically'. First, I fell in love with 'Silver' by Astra King (a cover, the original is by A. J. Cook). The story in that song breathe life into a magical I. T. Theo and so I wrote him. And then stopped. Because I didn't have any idea of what was going on with Hermione. And then 'Warning' by Crimson Apple came out and the ideas flowed and flowed.
I've always wanted to write a D&D fic. I had started and stopped three before 'you, specifically'. I cannot tell you how I soared reading how you related to the story.
I feel humbled and so grateful that you read and enjoyed this story. And even more so that you shared that with me. It is a very kind act to show appreciation, and if I could cup this comment in my hand and squish its cheeks, I would.
As for 'Incandescent', yes, I do send the link to those who ask. I will do so soon. Also, if you like the candles in 'you, specifically', you'll be pleased to know they are essentially characters in 'Incandescent', too, alongside some sluppies (slipper puppies), and a grouchy, sentient bookcase.
...
I sort of forget how weird 'Incandescent' is.
Once again, I paltrily, tawdrily, in a most strumpeted fashion thank you for sending me this.
Have a wonderful day ans I hope something truly lovely happens to you this week.

So Many Fanfics So Little Time
This is just my list, I have seen so many (but if you want to use it it’s all yours too!).  I’m not a writer.  But I am a hell of a reader. Voracious one might argue. I just wanted to track my progress through the weeds of the absolutely never ending supply of Destiel and Cockles fanfic. 
Read on if you want to see what I’ve read, and what I’ve thought. I am but one person with opinions - some of them may be unpopular - some of them you might agree with, but if you find something you haven’t read here, I encourage you to do so. 
Honestly, this is just so I can track what I have read already, and when my friends ask, I can reference something easily. I have found some different fics on all kinds of ‘best of’ lists all over the interwebs. And I love recs - so rec away friends. 
As someone who reads a solid 40 novels a year typically, I don’t come by the “I read a lot” innocently. I do actually read a LOT.  When not reading fanfic (a new obsession, all things being fair), I usually read a lot of Fantasy/high fantasy, romance/erotica, and or YA (yeah, that was a bit of a ride no?).  So from this one might digress that I like fluffy, cute stories, complicated and supernatural/paranormal type stories, and I sure do not shy away from violence or smut (or maybe violence with smut? *smirk*). 
I have read all of these in the last 2-3 months (I will continue to add as I go). I had never read a fanfic until 2-3 months ago.  A lot of these wonderful people are on here, and I mean you no offence by not directly tagging you - I’m still learning how to actually properly use this site. Links to AO3 are included (and I love you all). 
These aren’t necessarily in any real order - I did read T&S first, followed by 91W, and 4LW...after that it’s just a shit show of Long or Short, Destiel or Cockles - smorgasbord. Some of these are the most popular Fics out there, and others I’ve never seen recc’d anywhere (just sort of accidentally happened upon them).  So let’s get to it, shall we? 
Twist and Shout - ok look. I understand the stigma associated with this one, but it was the FIRST one I read. It was the ball that shot me down the hill, and I haven’t stopped since. So. I loved it. I CRIED like a baby. SOBBED. It was not the quality of the writing but the way the story was developed and delivered. I have Never Cried Like This Reading a Story IN MY LIFE. It’s a rite of passage. Read It and have an opinion - it doesn’t need to be mine.  
Author(s): gabriel, standbyme   https://archiveofourown.org/works/537876/chapters/955188
Ninety-One Whiskey - aka 91W, it is mentioned so much, and is SO worth the read.  I continued my dive into the war fics (not typically my bag really and here I was reading 2 in a row).  There are a couple of followup stories as well to this series (and yes, I’ve read them all).  Although I’ll say that the original is my favourite. I often got lost in a bit of the War/Tactical descriptions, but would recommend it to anyone anyway. Ugh...the “stolen moments”...they were at the same time tragic and the most amazing things ever.  You feel me? no? go read it. 
Author:  komodobits   https://archiveofourown.org/works/2362190/chapters/5214500
Four Letter Word for Intercourse - aka 4LW.  OMG just, OMG. I loved this story. I loved it so much. I think I read it in a day.  Devoured it. It’s so HOT. Just read it. If you haven’t you’re missing out.  LEMME AT IT. I loved “knowing the secret”, and had some major anxiety about that realization dawning (I had to take a breath, and be like, no, no, this is gonna be a mess, but it’s gonna be SO GOOD - I was not disappointed).  There’s more than one work here too - read them all. PLEASE. 
Author: bendingsignpost  https://archiveofourown.org/works/16086839/chapters/37568591
Memories Bring Back Memories (Bring Back You) - This was the first Sobs one I read, but it sent me on a spree.  this is the Memory Loss one.  I have one piece of advice here - read everything by Sobsicles. You can thank me later...just go to her page, and fucking sort to supernatural (or not, read it all!) I’d list them but I’d fucking seriously be here all day.  Also, her tags make me laugh so hard.
Author:  sobsicles https://archiveofourown.org/works/24022945/chapters/57796885
Orpheus - I love this one too, Tattooed!Cas, my LOVE. paired with Mechanic!Dean, my HEART, #help.  Read this one in one evening as well. (I was on a roll).  It’s a one night stand that turns into more (much like my last relationship)....hmm...maybe this is why I was pulled in - although to be fair that is the last similarity to my shitty love life! I do not remember how I stumbled onto this one (tattooed Cas may have been the draw...tbh). Read the warnings though, there is some triggering stuff in this one - but if you can handle it, it’s definitely worth the read. 
Author: sysrae       https://archiveofourown.org/works/2364347/chapters/5220227
Have Love, Will Travel - Can you say no to Stripper!Dean? Cause I sure as hell cannot. Typical sort of character development here with Dean having trust issues, and Cas being painfully awkward...(but in like a super cute way?).  Would Recommend. 
Author: squeemonster   https://archiveofourown.org/works/565455/chapters/1011747
The Inexhaustible Silence of Houses - Change of pace here...It’s got a nice twist.  I didn’t actually clue into how it was going to end until very near the end (maybe I was being oblivious), when the realization came over me and I was...man. I was DONE IN.  I hope that doesn’t spoil (I need some kind of way of remembering them). Voiceless!Cas Hunter!Dean
Author: Askance (doomcountry)   https://archiveofourown.org/works/560268/chapters/1000755
Adagio - This is super short, and super cute. Honestly, I would read the whole thing just for the last line. It’ll take you less than an hour if I remember correctly. Go, I’ll wait. I squeeed. did you? 
Author: noangelsinthegarrison   https://archiveofourown.org/works/1397248/chapters/2928145
Any Little Heartache - super easy read (not in a bad way, but in a ‘you’ll fly through it’ way).  It’s mid-length, not graphic, but really fun hospital AU. HeartSurgeon!Dean / Nurse!Cas - enemies to lovers anyone? Fuck you to Fuck me? yeah. YUM. 
Author: followthattardis https://archiveofourown.org/works/5143376/chapters/11838311
Ad Astra - This is another short(ish) one, just one chapter.  And by that I mean that this is written like a very long poem. Cas as a star who has visited Dean many times over the years of his life, that culminates in 4x01 barn scene. It’s ‘awe’ sad. ‘puppy dog eyes’ sad. The writing format took me a bit to understand what was happening - it’s my lack of poetry knowledge, not the writing.  
Author: nhixxie https://archiveofourown.org/works/1013491
Ad Astra Per Aspera - This is a cute story.  ESL writer, no judgement.  I found this while looking for the one above, and thought the premise looked cute - and it was. Misunderstanding leading to Dean realizing he’s actually Bi.  Miscommunication leading to realization.  
Author: Riverchester https://archiveofourown.org/works/12354336/chapters/28101816
Psalm 40:2 - Time travel post-canon Cas and Pre-series Dean.  If you’re wondering how that works, strap in for this ride, it’s well worth it. 
Author: unicornpoe https://archiveofourown.org/works/30786425/chapters/75992444
Addicted to You - Warlock!Dean/Incubus!Cas - accidental ‘mating’ (I actually really don’t like that word, but there’s sort of no avoiding it in this situation). Cute story.  When you drunk dial a succubus and get an incubus instead...Whatever will we do? 
Author: Ltleflrt https://archiveofourown.org/works/4387346/chapters/9959288 
A Glimpse Beyond - End Fix-it. Not yet complete, 10 chapters so far...I want MORE! Reliving memories Dean/Cas & Sam/Eileen.   
Author: NorthernSparrow https://archiveofourown.org/works/27731689/chapters/67875925
Cas-ti-el - Please I want more...It’s like the story just started. Please write more of this story!! 1 chapter, it’s a trope prompt challenge, but I want it to be a full on story of its own. Imprinted names of their soul mates, Dean doesn’t understand his (because it’s in a different language)...I’m frustrated by wanting this story to keep going. 
Author:  Valinde (Valyria)  https://archiveofourown.org/works/1941591
Our Bodies, Posessed by Light - another short one. Not going to lie, this one took a little getting used to, and I can’t say that I enjoyed it too much for the sole purpose that the premise gave me the willies.  Cas has to vessel jump - ends up in Sam...I got through it, it had a good ending, but yeah, sorry. This just wasn’t for me. 
Author:  obstinatrix  https://archiveofourown.org/works/260289
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Wedding Cake - Waiter!Dean / Writer!Cas - This is so effing cute, just misunderstanding after misunderstanding bumbling around like the couple of dorks that they are. It’s only one chapter. 100% would recommend. 
Author:  Sparseparsley https://archiveofourown.org/works/223962
Destiel, Actually - This is another super cute story, 5 chapters. Gabriel playing a singular role in putting Dean and Cas in awkward positions to push them together.  I fucking DIED at “oh, I am the sub” - needs context, but I guarantee you that you’ll laugh out loud...
Author:  Bexism  https://archiveofourown.org/works/399934/chapters/658398
The Smell Before the Rain - This was my first A/B/O - a big apology to all those who are into mpreg and whatnot, this was my lesson that I am not. this was not for me. Also - I’m a firm Cas (Alpha/Dom) believer, and i’m good with switch Cas, but it’s hard for me to take him being the full Omega here, when paired with the rest I just couldn’t do it. I finished it, but, not my thing. I know now. 
Author: jscribbles https://archiveofourown.org/works/22355230/chapters/53406127
Crazy Diamonds - This is another short one, only 3 chapters - it’s a body swap for Dean, 4x02 him and 2018 him swap places (assumption that 2018 him is “with” Cas).  It’s a super cute little story. 
Author:  pantheon_of_discord https://archiveofourown.org/works/16151642/chapters/37738631
The Breath of All Things - Wheelchair!Dean / Volunteer!Cas.  This is a lovely story, typical Dean self-hatred etc. Triggering for those with suicide warnings. It had me in tears at the end. There’s a really spectacular quote near the end that I found so romantic I screen grabbed it. 
Author:  KismetJeska https://archiveofourown.org/works/994750/chapters/1967519
Kind of a Forever Deal - SummerCamp!AU This is just a really cute and fluffy summer camp AU.  Which is so different from 91W (That’s right, check the author)! I was a little disappointed with the ending, but otherwise really enjoyed this all the way through and was loving all the discovery and young characterizations of all the characters. 
Author: komodobits https://archiveofourown.org/works/999291/chapters/1978478
Everytown, USA - Best way I can break this one down? Wanderer!Dean (listless and without a place in the world, he ends up in a small town...), Twin!Cas (that leads to some fun things). There are a number of points where you’re gonna yell at Dean for doing stupid shit (that are very much in character for him to do), you think, well, yes, obviously you’re going to do that you silly fucking boy [affectionate]; but whyyy? (but we know). 
Author: aileenrose https://archiveofourown.org/works/1797559/chapters/3854836
Chalk and Chainmail - HighSchool!AU, Cas is an artist, Dean LARP’s - it’s cute and angsty. 
Author:  lemonsorbae https://archiveofourown.org/works/804704/chapters/1517551
A Little Patience - Ok. you want smut? This is your story. You want Kink? This is your story.  I actually did not finish this. It got a little carried away in my opinion. It was VERY panty kink oriented (which, while essentially canon isn’t really my kink) so, if you want that Panty Kink on full display? Go forth and enjoy! it  is thirty something chapters, I got to the mid-twenties I Think. 
Author: riseofthefallenone https://archiveofourown.org/works/1750058/chapters/3739232
Control - I REALLY ENJOYED THIS. Which is saying a lot for someone who has already admitted that a Subby Cas isn’t really my HC - so to so thoroughly enjoy a Sub!Cas story? (maybe it’s the tattooes...*wink*). It’s an AU where Cas is the head of a company - Dean is a callboy I guess, for lack of a better term. Just read it.
Author: dothraki_shieldmaiden  https://archiveofourown.org/works/31156601/chapters/76993217
More (I copy pasted the next lot from my google doc, I’ll flush them out later - no i wont...)

It's been a whole year since I published fanfiction for the first time!
Checking my stats on Ao3, I've posted over 120,000 words which is frankly shocking. All if it has been in the Inuyasha/SessRin fandom, but I've written a lot more I don't have the word count on in another fandom that I hope to publish someday.
I took the plunge last year to publish for the first time as a (very vulnerable) birthday present to myself. Vulnerable not only because of sharing my writing publicly but because it was a nsfw fic (my favorite thing to read) and one involving BDSM and kink, which is deeply personal to me.
The response from readers was so flattering and kind and heartwarming. Enough so that when SessRin Smut Week rolled around I dared to publish (again very vulnerably) a monster-fucker SessRin fic, which was again received so warmly by fellow fans.
It seems really fitting, as a culmination of that year, that both the obscene "We Musn't..." and my first fic "That Which Belongs to Lord Sesshomaru" are nominated for Best NSFW One Shot and Best NSFW Completed for the first annual Canon Awards by SessRinIsCanon.com.
Thank you so much to any and all of my readers who see this, and especially to whoever nominated me! I am so flattered to be someone's favorite.
I have many lofty fanfic plans, including not one but two complete series re-imaginings of Inuyasha. I so look forward to where I'll be at this time next year.

Falling Slowly
Chapter 31: Daylight
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Characters: Stiles + Lydia, Prada too.
Summary: “Lydia!” he beams. “You remember, don’t you?”
“Yeah, I do,” she nods. “I did the night you came home. But I’m just realizing, there was something else too... Wasn’t there? Something that happened later.”
“Yeah, there’s more. A lot more.”
“Help me remember?”
“Sure.” He keeps his arms around her, so she feels safe. “It all started with a phone call,” he hints.
And Lydia remembers.
She remembers the wake of a dangerous trek into the Preserve, how every subsequent choice she made brought her closer to Stiles...
Tumblr media
The day had been a long and trying one. It was nearly midnight, yet Lydia was no closer to sleep than she had been an hour earlier when she first got into bed.
She remembers thinking that she should be tired. In a lot of ways, she was... Tired of the drama and constant upheaval in her life and in the lives of her friends. Tired of the absurd number of obstacles that had been imposed upon all of them, both by humans and the supernatural. Tired of Beacon Hills.
Mentally and physically however, she was wide awake. She remembers closing her eyes for what felt like the hundredth time, then reopening them and continuing to stare at the darkened ceiling. Eyes open or closed, it really didn’t matter. The day’s whirlwind of activity was determined to replay in her mind...over and over.
Striving to get control of her thoughts, she made use of a technique Ms. Morell had recommended last year during counseling sessions. Practicing gratitude, she called it. Back then, Lydia approached the concept begrudgingly and with a substantial amount of cynicism. The idea that positive thinking could withdraw her from the nightmare she was living seemed ridiculously oversimplified.
But lately, it didn’t seem so ridiculous, and progressing to that point hadn’t been simple at all.
Lydia had survived so much in the past year. Wolfsbane-induced hallucinations and manipulation at the behest of a power-hungry werewolf, culminating in the sweet sixteen from Hell. Months of secrets, half-truths, and flat out lies, followed by a sudden and horrific nosedive into the bizarre world of creatures that go bump in the night. A breakup that freed her of verbal, physical, and emotional abuse. She had even survived more than one terrifying attempt on her life.
After everything, she was alive. And frankly, she had a lot to be grateful for.
Prada for one. Prada, who enthusiastically welcomed her when she came home from school each day, who followed her everywhere – day or night, and who, in that very moment, was snuggled alongside her. Lydia remembers that while she was submersed in contemplation, her sweet, unconditionally loving, little furball had been gradually inching closer. With a thready whimper and her head empathetically nestled on Lydia’s ribs, the pup had once again proven that she was acutely attuned to her person’s inner discord.
“It’s okay, pea. I’m okay,” she whispered as she stroked the Papillon’s ears.
But she remembers feeling like she was trying to convince herself just as much as Prada, which was even more evident when her body involuntarily shuddered as she exhaled her next breath.
So maybe she wasn’t totally okay, but she was managing the best she could. At least her friends were getting back to normal. Allison was no longer hallucinating, Scott had regained control of his inner alpha, and Isaac’s leg was already on the mend. Lydia was relieved and grateful for all of that. She hoped she could rest easy knowing that things were improving for them.
But there was someone else on her mind. Someone she couldn’t stop thinking about.
Stiles.

🎉 End of Year Review 🎉
Tagged by the wonderful @kitaychan and @oumaheroes ✨
1. What fandoms did you create for?
Hetalia, Hetalia, Hetalia, and... oh yeah! Hetalia!
2. How many works did you make this year? Fics (posted on ao3 or tumblr or wherever), edits, gifsets, moodboards, playlists, fanart, vids, meta?
Well, I posted 4 fics, 3 of which are still in the WIP phase. And then I also worte a little France x Reader drabble. Plus there’s also the FrUK oneshot I wrote for the Razzle Dazzle Anthology (that will be posted in February, according to the rules) so... I wrote 6 things!
3. What are you most proud of?
By far, I’d have to say Industry and Grandeur. It started out as a fun historical FrUK exercise, something I thought I’d finish in 3 chapters. But the more I wrote, the more I enjoyed it. Delving into the past with my favourite Hetalia characters is such fun. Over the course of the year, I’ve grown a fair bit as a writer and I think I&G is the the culmination of that. I can’t wait to finish it in 2022!
4. Any stats you wanna tell us about?
According to ao3, I’ve written 28k words this year! Not too shabby. I’m sure there are many folks out there who wrote waaaaay more, but for a new writer, who literally started writing just this past year, I’m proud of my 28k. 🙂
5. What inspired you this year? Any specific works or creators?
There are too many to list. It seems like every time I refresh the “hetalia” tag on ao3, there are new wonderful pieces to read. Specifically, @oumaheroes, @draw-a-circle-thats-the-foxhole, and @bougietalia are a few creators who manage to floor me every damn time. Their stories are such a treat to read and I'd love to be as good as them someday. Also, I want to thank @koolkat9 and @kitaychan for sending MANY heartwarming messages to my inbox, because honestly, those motivational messages are inspiring and they give me the energy to keep going.
6. What’s a piece you didn’t expect to make? Why?
Literally everything I’ve made. If you told me in 2020 that I’d be writing Hetalia fanfics throughout 2021, I wouldn’t have believed you! However, if I had to pick one in particular, it’d be Sanctuary in Valencia, a Spain x Belgium rarepair fic. I’m still so happy that @maelerie suggested it to me and introduced me to the pairing. 💕 The story just came to me like a lightning bolt and it turned out really sweet.
7. What are you excited to work on next year?
Ohhh, I actually wrote a schedule for my upcoming stories and chapters. If anyone’s curious, you can find it here. Aside from finishing I&G, and my Secret Santa fic, I’m looking forward to writing a PrUK oneshot that’s been floating around my brain for a while now. It’ll be set right after Napoleon’s capture in 1815, when Prussia and England are celebrating their complete victory over France.
Tag some people!
I’ve already tagged a bunch of people in the previous questions, so I’ll leave it there for now. They can join in if they’d like.
