@wadebramwilson - Seeing you on my dash honestly brings such a smile to my face :)

[hideyseek]

1!!! For the ask game :)

BRAM MY BELOVED FELLOW HAIJI STAN mwah i love to talk about this boy every. single. day. thank u for the opportunity <333

#1 for the wips ask game is narrative!fic, what will hopefully one day be a fic exploring (and trying to explain) what made haiji go back to running after the terrible experiences he had with it in high school + what his future looks like and feels like now that he's re-injured his knee.

They’re singing for him, Kakeru and the others, and he feels detached from the moment. The soft glow of candles, the off-beat chorus. The press of people around him and the darkness around them. He can’t escape his future. Even in thinking about escaping it, it approaches. 

What if every moment is transition, from here on out? What if there is never another moment where he knows his footing? The weeks leading up to Hakone had been miserable, desperate, grueling, and anxiety-filled. But at least then he’d known what he was working toward. At least then he’d had a goal to work toward.

Now, what does he have? Most of a college degree, and final exams in two weeks. So little to show, for so much time spent. He feels like no time has passed. He feels like his high school self, still a child, but the chance to live like that is far behind him now. He cannot dodge his own future, even as he refuses to run toward it. While he is still refusing, it arrives. 

The singing stops, and the silence that it leaves seems to reverberate shrilly. They’re looking at him, some of them smiling gently, even. Haiji makes himself breathe out deep and fast. He exhales, and plunges them all into darkness. 

…

“Did you wish for something, Haiji-san?” Kakeru asks him later, sliding up quietly beside him at the sink. 

Haiji twists the tap off. “Ah,” he says lightly into the silence. “If I tell you, it won’t come true.”

“You’re surprisingly superstitious,” Kakeru observes, but says nothing more about it. Instead he says, “Here, you dry instead,” and takes a dish right out of Haiji’s hands. 

Haiji picks up a dishtowel without protest, and dries and stacks dishes mechanically. 

He didn’t wish. He hadn’t wished. He hadn’t been able to think of something clear enough to want, that would be enough to thoroughly change him at newly twenty-three from the way he’d been at thirteen, just about to enter high school, with no sense of how high school track would shape him. In his mind were only a list of things he didn’t want, impossible things that it was foolish to not want — no more change, no more loss, no more expectation, no more adaptation, no more uncertainty. He didn’t know what there was to ask for, when even asking would leave him hanging.

AO3 First Lines

Tagged by @deinvatiwrites

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to AO3 (Sort by date posted.) If you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have!

1. All I Wanna Do Is Grow Old With You

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: A two part story I really need to finish 😬

When Arthur straps on his little half apron, he is transported.

2. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Probably the most out of character I’ve ever written.

Arthur slid his hand down his crimson tie, stretching the space between his fingers.

3. Cause You’re Pretty And I Like That

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death

Pairing: Ed/Stede

Notes: Proof you can write smut about muppets

It’s been six weeks since Ed last set eyes on the Revenge, and its shape forming in the mist is a balm on his heart.

4: Let Go Of Your Fire

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death

Pairing: Ed/Stede

Notes: The same story everyone else wrote after the first season finale

In the early, pre-dawn hours, the splintered wood of the Revenge’s hull was cool and damp beneath Stede’s fingers.

5. Holiday

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: An absurdly long piece of porn with a liberal sprinkling of plot

They all ignored the first flickers.

6. Uplink

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Third in a series of astronaut AUs

“If I never see another Barnes and Noble it’ll be too soon,” Eames grouses.

7. Crush

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Short, sweet, worth the price of admission

“You should let me shoot you out.”

8. Placebo Effect

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: What happens when an author tells themself jokes

The front desk clerk glared at Arthur, and he wasn’t sure if it was all the snow he’d let blow into the lobby behind him, or if it was the twelve groceries bags he was carrying with him.

9. Koi no Yokan

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Obligatory amnesia fic

Arthur’s eyebrows knit as he steps out of the car.

10. After Hours

Fandom: Inception

Pairing: Arthur/Eames

Notes: Odd, but one I’m prouder of

There’s a pretty prevalent rumor in the dreamsharing community that Arthur doesn’t have fun.

Bonus: Include the first few lines of your latest WIP:

I have several, but here’s one:

Arthur blinks.

Arthur stares at his hands where they rest on the drying bar. The scars on his knuckles are pink and fresh. He doesn’t remember how he got them. It’s been thirty years, at least. This suit style isn’t remotely in fashion anymore. Arthur stares at the stubble on Eames’ jaw, and the color is all wrong— unforgivably blond, over skin so smooth it’s almost unfamiliar after all this time.

“Look at it this way,” Eames says. He takes a swig of his beer. “You’ve got your entire life ahead of you.”

“Jesus Christ,” Arthur whispers, turning back to the bar. “Jesus Christ.”

[belbeten]

I was tagged by @mister-eames and by @lolahardy. Thanks for the tags, lovelies! Seriously, I love getting tagged!

Are you named after anyone: Yes, my nickname is inspired by two actresses who were popular in the 70s/80s. And my parents knew they liked that name, but they gave me the full version of the name, in case I didn't want to go by the nickname. (And now, I actually go by both).

When was the last time you cried: Um, full out big cry? A couple weeks ago? Getting a little teary/emotional: probably within the last couple of days. I'm a big cryer.

Do you have kids: Yup.

Do you use sarcasm a lot: Not as much as I used to. Though I still really appreciate/enjoy it.

What sports do you play/have played: In elementary/middle school, I did a bunch: soccer, cheerleading, track & field, basketball. But I haven't played any in a very, very long time. As I grew up, I realized team sports and coordination are not really my strong suit. But I still love exercising.

What's the first thing you notice about people: This is probably shallow, but their appearance. Is that too vague of an answer?

What's your eye color: Blue.

Scary movies or happy endings: Happy endings. Forever and always.

Any special talents: I'm good at trivia, and recalling what date something happened on.

Where were you born: New York. (State, not City).

What are your hobbies: Cross stitch, and reading fanfiction.

Do you have pets: Not at the moment. But I've had some lovely ones over the years, and I will again someday. But after my last pup passed, I'm taking a break for a while.

How tall are you: 5'7", or 170cm

Favorite subject in school: I never had a favorite subject. They were all just grades to be achieved / levels of a video game to beat. But I had favorite teachers, whose classes I loved. Some of my Spanish classes were always my favorites, because of the teachers.

Dream job: Like lola, I also do not dream of labor. But if I could be an independently wealthy patron of the arts, and just support writers and artists through commissions, that would be lovely.

I am tagging (completely no pressure!): @castles-in-the-eyre @wadebramwilson @booksnchocolate @boisinberryjamarama @a-forger-and-a-point-man @child-of-thekindlywest and anyone else who wants to do this!

[brennacedria]

@wadebramwilson replied to your post “OKAY, I just finished OFMD. Pacing is a bit off,...”:

I still have my fingers crossed 😢

​I'm just going to assume it won't and be surprised if it somehow is. Like, I'm not setting myself up for that disappointment.

What WAS renewed, and apparently finished filming ages ago, is S4 of What We Do In The Shadows. I need my vampire bbs back
