crack, hob flirts back, heart attack - the sandman, crack, past hobrinthian, pre-dreamling, pov corinthian

5. Do you respond to comments?

i very much try to, yes, but i also tend to leave comments un responded to for fics i have yet to continue/finish

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

what's interesting abt the two fics i think have the angstiest endings, is they kina have the same tone? like, i wrote two fics abt two different characters having a 'life is absolutely terrible rn, i'm grieving the loss of better times, but no matter what i will keep fucking living god damn it'

anyway it's both to be forgotten but not forget (mcu peter parker) and never to sleep, never to die (hob gadling)

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

[love how i totally forgot to answer this at first; sorry if tumblr tags u again for my editing]

imma go with something recent, a geraskier blurb based on art, :3 (that's the title, i couldn't come up with anything clever, so it's just that lol)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not directly

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

currently? no. have i? yeah. respect your local smut writers

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

i never wrote crossovers prior to getting pulled into danny phantom x dc, and both of my posted ones are among my most popular

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of (if someone does steal a fic- that's shitty.)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

not in the sense that someone has asked me to translate and repost, so as far as i know, no

no, but snake n i have talked about co-writing before (we're busy as shit tho so it's yet to happen)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

merwaine in any form

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

it's not a WIP, but the second fic i ever posted i said i would rewrite and it's yet to come- i don't doubt that i will rewrite it, but that eventually is pretty far

16. What are your writing strengths?

prose-y scene setting maybe? i don't think about this, really, i just write

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

dialogue, in the sense that it doesn't much feature in my fics

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

personally i'll only do it if i'm 200% confident in its meaning (ie i've studied the language or i've got a second reliable opinion)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

i've since lost it, but the first thing i wrote was for BTS (2018 almost-disbandment rlly had me emotional, ok?)

20. Favourite fic you've written?

i don't have a favorite, and i'm proud of every new thing bc it's a show of my progress

no pressure tags: @oliveofvanders @bootleg-exe & anyone else who would like to :)

20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 45 - of which 35 are completed

2. What's your total A03 word count? 1 023 686

3. What fandoms do you write for? Once Upon a Time - Star Wars (sequel trilogy) - Avatar The Legend of Korra - Harry Potter - Moana

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? The Only Exception (Reylo) (unfinished)

Our Future Together (Hooked Wayfinder) (unfinished) Dreamers (Reylo) (COMPLETE) Love is Just a Game (Hooked Wayfinder) (COMPLETE) Breathe (Reyux) (unfinished)

I realize it's really awkward to have 3 of those fics in my top 5 be unfinished. I'm really bad at finishing my longer fics. With the shorter fics (that have less chapters and also less kudos), I don't have as many issues finishing them. I have the intent to finish a few of the unfinished fics, even if it's been years since my last update. Heart of the Ship (Rumbelle) is the first fic on that list that I'll be working on, and it will be a wopper. I'm already at 180 000 words right now. I think it will be 200-250K words by the time it's finished.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do! Usually just before I'm about to post a new chapter. I think comments are amazing and I want to thank people for leaving them. They always make my day. I don't get paid in money for writing fanfictions, but I accept comments as currency for thanking me, lol.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably "Death and the Dark One" - a Rumbelle fanfiction where Belle is the Grim Reaper. It's about death, a bit gothic. Very short.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most if not all of my fics have happy endings, though some are a bit bittersweet! Personally I really like the ending to the Bus Lovers (Rumbelle) because it's really cheesy happy - with a Hallmark wedding ending. It's a perfect read for a dreary autumn or winter day.

8. Do you get hate on fics? No - I've been really fortunate there! Especially since I have written a few controversial ships (let's be real - enemies to lovers is one of my fav tropes and I love problematic bastards with daddy issues). Or if I did get hate, I'm happy to report I've forgotten all of it!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! AWKWARD smut. Lol. I suspect some neurodivergence in myself and that translates into... maybe some weird smut. I'm also ace myself so I don't fully get infatuated like other people do, and the smut between my characters often seems driven by intellectual attraction. (Bit like sapiosexuality) I do write smut to drive the characters forward in their relationship with one another. I try not to write smut for smut's sake and when I do it's not great and I personally don't like it. (though that doesn't always mean my readers don't like it either!)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I've done a ton of crossovers while roleplaying - but as far as fics go on AO3, I think I only have a few - Legends, where Kylo Ren is a firebender and Rey a waterbender (aka an Avatar crossover). I've also written a Reyux fic set in Hogwarts, (Finished), and started a Rumbelle fic set in Hogwarts that remains unfinished.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, long ago, before AO3 - and it was a Dutch Harry Potter fanfic of mine that popped up on some other Dutch forums. Since I knew the admins there it was quickly taken down so it wasn't a lot of drama. The internet felt a lot smaller then.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I have attempted to translate a Dramione fanfiction from Dutch to English myself - I never finished the translation because the first chapter just didn't really have any readers. The Dutch version is still up on AO3, completed.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope. I have done RP's and worked together with other people for that. One of the people I wrote with the most (Alice) is still one of my best friends to this day. We finished a ton of Rumbelle roleplays and they hold a fond memory in my heart. Some of them were even read by other people! (Which I think is rare.)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship? Very tough to answer. I've fallen in and out of love with many ships, and tend to fall back in love with them after enough time passes. I think Jasmine/Jafar (OUAT) is one of my favourites though, at least at this moment. Don't get me wrong, I love Rumbelle and Reylo but don't like the canon execution of either. And that makes it a bit sour. Jasmine/Jafar was never canon and so it's a beautiful ship that thrives in my brain and heart exactly the way I want it to.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Currently I'm working on Heart of the Ship and I' think'm quite sure I *will* finish it. And if I can finish that one, then I think I can finish many of the others too. (Though, give it time.) At this moment I think "Breathe" is the hardest one for me to finish. It's a Reyux AU where Hux and Rey fall in love in a setting that is very close to how canon could have turned out if Kylo had been killed during TLJ. However, because of how close I would keep it to the canon of Star Wars, I've made it really difficult on myself. It's a fic that requires a lot of research and was always rather hard to make work. I did really enjoy it though. I also have Star Wars PTSD from watching the Rise of Skywalker and don't feel confident in returning to that fandom. It's been 4 years since TROS was released and I'm still not ready.

16. What are your writing strengths? I find this difficult to answer. I think dialogue comes easily, and I can sprinkle in humor when I need to. I can also write pretty fast when I want to, and I've made it through several Nanowrimos with little difficulty. I can also write really nice plot twists that don't come completely out of the blue - keeping readers on their toes. Some have gotten really good at predicting where I go thanks to reading a ton of my fics!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I could write a little "stronger" - I bet I make a lot of errors in writing that might not be grammatical errors but just errors in using "weak" verbs or adjectives to put my descriptions on the page. I also don't do flowery prose, though in my opinion that's a strength and not a weakness. English is not my mother language (though I've never let that stop me!)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Ehm... I wouldn't quickly do it unless I spoke the language myself. Since I speak Dutch and French quite well, I would not feel awkward including that, or a few words of German and Spanish. But other languages? No, I think I'd steer clear of writing full sentences in those.

19. First fandom you wrote for? We're talking about 1994 here or so - it was Lois and Clark the new Adventures of Superman and I was 11, and had a massive crush on Superman. XD After that I wrote X-Men the Animated Series, Beauty and the Beast and when I turned 18 I switched to Harry Potter and wrote nearly exclusively for HP for 10 years. It was in the HP fandom that I learned to finish my fics. I'd never done that before that time.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? Oof. Really tough question. Of my current WIPs, probably Heart of the Ship (Rumbelle).

Of my finished fanfictions, probably The Fifth Gem (Rumbelle) - which is a story of Belle being a spy at Rumplestiltskin's castle during wartime - and I loved writing how she fell in love with him despite of it. It also is the first fic I wrote that featured Jasmine/Jafar and made me fall in love with them as a pairing.

365

pairings; eren jaeger x reader [+ jean x reader]

notes; this was also posted on my ao3, which has the same username as this one [cvtqr]

“i never loved you y/n.”

“WHAT DON’T YOU GET? I NEVER LOVED YOU SO STOP COMING HERE Y/N.”

he slammed the door in your face. you didn't know why he was treating you this way. you've been with him every step of the road. there was no way he couldn't love you. you didn't want to leave. you didn't want to stop coming to see him. so you didn't stop. you weren't going to leave. you sunk down onto the concrete in front of his door.

on the other side eren was doing the same thing, just sitting against the door. he didn't want to see you. he didn't want to give into you. if he hurt you now he wouldn't hurt you in 365 days. but seeing your face was so hard. he never wanted to scream at you and slam the door in your face. right when you showed up the only thing he wanted to do was pull you into his arms. he wanted to feel your warmth. but he can't. he knew you were like a drug, he couldn't get enough. he also knew that he could never be with you again. no. not after 365 days. he could never give you a family, the life you deserved. his biggest mistake was falling in love with you. it was impossible to give you everything he wanted to. he never even knew when it happened. when you walked with him in the snow during training? when you saved him countless times? your soft, sweet smile? he needed you, but you didn't need him.

you ended up falling asleep on eren’s front porch, waking up the next morning from the bright sun shining directly onto your face. and the blonde boy standing in front of you.

“so he won't talk to you either hm? you should go, you don't deserve that y/n. he hasn't talked to anyone in days, im just leaving a bag for him to make sure he's taking care of himself and all.”

you nodded and stood up, walking down the step on eren’s porch.

“the captain wants to see you too. i think he wants you and jean doing field work today.”

“thanks” you mumbled out before going to meet up with levi.

armin was right, you and jean were out on the field today. jean secretly cared about you and he hated seeing you like this. the bright cheerful girl, now not saying a word. you lost the glow in your eyes. as the sun set, you and jean were about done. riding your horses back to the stables, jean took a turn.

“where are you going.”

“come on, y/n.”

sighing, you turned the direction of your horse, following jean.

he stopped over the lake, the sun setting above you two.

“i used to come here with marco all the time.”

you looked up and over at jean.

“s-sorry, lets go.”

“wait jean.- i, i miss him too.”

“do you maybe wanna get dinner in town? we haven't ate in awhile and you seem very down today.”

“i don't know jean...”

“oh come on, my treat.”

knowing you couldn't go home and cook with eren like you used to do, you accepted his offer.

279 days

the time for you and jean to do field work all day came around again. after, you found yourself in town with him again. over the past 86 days you found yourself going to eren’s less and less. after hanging out with jean all day for the first time, you realized that you both had a lot in common. jean lost someone and even though eren was still here, you lost him. you now only go there about once a week with armin, just to leave a bag with a note on his doorstep. he completely ghosted everyone. he hasn't talked to anyone in almost 100 days. you were the last person he spoke to.

back to today, you found your smile slowly coming back. but were you over eren? no. not at all. jean just simply made you somewhat happy. out in town the both of you decided to try food from a bunch of carts. that was until you got to a small band playing music. jean pulled you close to him and started slowly swaying the both of you together. jean knew you were probably wishing he was eren, but that was ok with him. he had you in his arms.

what you didn't know, eren was sitting on a nearby bench. from a far, he was un recognizable. his hair draped over his shoulders and he hasn't shaved in months. he looked like shit. he questioned his decision of pushing everyone away. should he have spent the 365 days with you? no. no no no no no, he made the right choice. now he would just have to watch your life with jean. even though it hurt, it hurt like hell, this is what he wanted for you.

123 days

wow, its been awhile since you've seen eren. you stopped going there. you didn't feel like need. its been way over 200 days. you had jean now. you were so close, yet so far to being over eren. but you didn't want to hurt jean by going to see your ex-lover. jean didn't bring up marco, you didn't bring up eren. you haven't had as much time with jean that you had with eren, but you were slowly falling in love with him.

just the little things.

4 days

letters. eren had written a letter to each and every one of his friends, but no. he only needed you to see yours. he ripped up the rest, but put yours into a plain white envelope, leaving it on his kitchen table. he needed to think about a lot of things in the next four days.

1 day

eren took all his decorations down. all the pictures of you two that he's been looking at for the past 364 days. the only thing left was the letter, still set on his counter.

2 days after

y/n. open in five years. i understand if you want to throw this out and forget about me, but give it a chance.

that's what you read on the envelope left on eren’s counter.

you and close friends cleaned out eren’s house, collecting his personal belongings.

saying the day was gloomy is being generous. the next few years were gloomy.

1825 days after

“marco kirstein! get back here right now or im getting your father.”

you never imagined yourself chasing after a three year old toddler while your husband drank coffee on the balcony five years later.

1826 days later

“have fun on your camping trip boys. connie loose my child when jean goes on that interview and ill kill you.”

“mommy stop worrying! uncle connie is a great babysitter!”

6 hours later

you un crumpled the old envelope sitting in a box of belongings.

hey sugar! so i see you didn't forget about me. if im right you have started a family? or that's what i hope at least...

those last 365 days were painful as all hell. sorry for bringing up old memories but i just want to clear things up with you. i lied the last time i saw you. i love you. i loved you so much. that's why i needed to let go. I've been watching you and jean over the past few months. you seem happy. stay that way please. i fucking cannot stand jean but please don't let go of him. if you're reading this and you did, i hope your children get/got your genes so they don't have horse faces.

i don't even know why im writing this, i guess i just wanted to say i had to let go so you wouldn't get hurt once i died. i thought it would be less painful for you that way. im so sorry if i hurt you at first. so, so sorry. at least you had jean. someone, just like i wanted you too.

im not sure if i regret my decision. actually scrap that i shouldn't have wrote that because i don't have an eraser. i don't regret it. but i just wanted to let you know that i loved you over those last 365 days. tell the gang i said hey.

i love you, my atlantis.
