Tony: *walks into the kitchen at 9am and sees peter eating breakfast*
Tony: what are you eating?
Peter: a waffle with chocolate and caramel sauce, whipped cream, chocolate chips and sprinkles. Oh, and peanuts.
Tony: ...
Peter: I'm not having it with ice cream, so technically it's not a dessert
Tony: kid, it's not even a dessert at this point. We've passed it being a dessert. That's just straight up diabetes

Peter completely drenched in a towel:
Ned: Woah dude you okay?
Peter: Yeah. I just slipped and fell in the pool.
MJ: Shit, did the lifegaurd come help you out?

For some reason my TikTok is filled with people hating on irondad, so the irondad enthusiastic inside of me has awoken.

Interviewer: your son was killed. Would you ever want or seek out vengeance for him?
Bruce Wayne: vengeance is a slippery slope. Ultimately it solves nothing and only brings more pain into the world. I’ve wanted it in the past but I know better now and know that I need to *be* better than what they did to me
Interviewer: and Mr. Stark, if anything happened to your son, would you seek vengeance?
Tony Stark: oh I’d kill the motherfucker straight up

Comics Agere Week 2024:
the discord:
what is agere?:
essentially: a coping mechanism wherein a person enters a state of mind in which they feel ‘younger’, allowing them to relax and separate themselves momentarily from their daily stressors.
urban dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=age%20regression
healthline: https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/age-regression#types
why would I want to write for this?
for the same reason you would write mental illness h/c or de-aging h/c or fluff! it’s an interesting tool to use in your story- and people will enjoy it. for dc fans, consider the hypotheticals of a batfam member regressing- how that would effect interpersonal dynamics. Or, perhaps some irondad or team red fluff for marvel fans.
what are the rules?
the only rules are that you tag it #comicsagereweek2024 or post it to the ao3 collection, and that you refrain from making sexual content for this event. this is not a judgemental space, but age regression itself is not sexual, and ‘sexual agere’ content only spreads the harmful idea that it is. it is not welcome for this event.
what kinds of content are accepted?
writing, art, edits, moodboards, stimboards, etc!! basically any fun sfw agere content surrounding comics characters that fit the prompt(s) !! :>
where’s the collection?
what are the prompts/dates?
Prompts for Comics Agere Week 2024:
January 22nd - 28th.
Monday, January 22nd:
Accidental Regression Reveal
Tuesday, January 23rd:
Mid-Fight Regression, and/or Sickfic
Wednesday, January 24th:
Merch as a Comfort Item
Thursday, January 25th:
That is NOT a Mouth Object, and/or Sleepy Time
Friday, January 26th:
Villains as Caregivers and/or Babies Don’t Fight Crime!
Saturday, January 27th:
Nightmares
Sunday, January 28th:
Parentification of a Friend (you’re my dad now! hope this helps!)

WIP Wednesday
Finally remembering that I always want to post WIP Wednesday but constantly forget.
Anyway:
Irondad for @happyaspie
“Hiya, Spidey,” came Mr. Stark’s voice from the suit and a second later, the man himself stepped out. Peter had been this close to Mr. Stark once, back when they went to the Stark Expo. He was in awe of the man and the suit then and now, it was much of the same. 
Peter almost fell off the building on purpose, running away from the whole situation, but he couldn’t get himself to move. Instead he cleared his throat, trying to sound much older than almost but not quite 16 years old. “Hi, Mr. Stark Man.”
The second the words left his mouth, he wanted to die right then and there.
Mr. Stark laughed, moving away from the suit and coming closer. “Mr. Stark Man was my father, please call me Tony.”
“I’d prefer Mr. Stark,” Peter said, words coming out of his mouth without his permission. “Can I help you?”
“Hm,” Mr. Stark said, stopping close to Peter, almost enough to touch him. “I just wanted to say hi. I’ve seen you swinging around lately, pretty impressive stuff if I do say so myself. That car you caught? Great job.”
“Thanks.”
And two Heartstopper fics for good measure:
“We should hang out sometime, it’d be nice to catch up,” Nick said, cutting him off before Charlie could escape the conversation. He pulled his phone out of his pocket. “What’s your number? I’ll text you, so you can have mine.”
Charlie was a bit confused and worried at how strong Nick had come on. He tried to remember if they really did talk at any point but he could remember nothing beyond a brief hi once, maybe twice. Nick was a year above him and played rugby, something Charlie didn’t touch. He was never allowed to attend any parties, especially if Ben was going to be there too. 
“Oh uh,” Charlie stammered. He’d gotten a new number and phone after leaving Ben since he was in charge of their phone bills. He kinda remembered it but with Nick standing there, he couldn’t recall. He fished his phone out of his pocket, unlocking the screen. “I just got a new number,” he added. “I don’t really remember it, sorry.”
“Oh, let me give you mine,” Nick said, not deterred in the slightest. He rambled out his number, as Charlie typed it into his contact, labeled him as “Rugby Nick” for some reason. There were only 5 names in his contact list to begin with, it wasn’t like he wouldn't remember putting in Nick Nelson’s number. 
and my favorite new thing I'm writing (to which I had to find the least explicit part which is kinda hard apparently)
“Ah shit,” Charlie said, almost falling off the bed in his haste. “Where the fuck are my jeans?”
“Your jeans? Jesus, where are my pants?” Nick mumbled, getting up out of bed and scavenging around his floor. “We have to be better about this part.”
“Oh sorry,” Charlie said, rolling his eyes, but finding his jeans, pulling them back on while Nick struggled to get his shirt over his head. “I was a little preoccupied with the hickey you were sucking into my collarbone to stop and fold my pants.”
They dressed with just enough time, opening the bedroom door and getting in their “normal” cuddle pose just as Sarah came up the stairs. Nick had placed his laptop on his lap, making it look like they’d just been watching something. But if Sarah came any closer she might have noticed the laptop wasn’t even turned on.
“Hi boys!” she called out, her voice a lot louder than it needed to be. “I’m home and coming up the stairs.”
Charlie blushed, shoving his face into Nick’s shoulder as his boyfriend giggled. “God, I hate that she totally knows what we’re doing. This is just - so cringe.”

The First Threads
https://archiveofourown.org/works/54166102 by cousinskooks “Mr. Parker, you know the deal. Phone in the bin.” She extended a turquoise bin that had a laminated picture of a phone with a bright red X through it taped to the front of it. And usually he didn’t often disregard rules, but this was important. If he didn’t reply, he’d miss out on going and working alongside Tony. Opportunities like this rarely happened. If he missed this one, who was to say that Mr. Stark would ever ask him again? OR Tony texts Peter at school and almost gets him in trouble with his teacher. The start of what will no doubt be a little series of peter and tony turning into irondad and spiderson and what that journey looks like post-homecoming. This is just the beginning (: Words: 2820, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Categories: Gen Characters: Peter Parker, Tony Stark, Happy Hogan, Ned Leeds, Aunt May Parker (Marvel) Relationships: Peter Parker & Tony Stark, Happy Hogan & Peter Parker, Aunt May Parker & Peter Parker & Tony Stark, Ned Leeds & Peter Parker Additional Tags: Post-Movie: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), That start of Irondad and Spiderson, probably gonna turn this into a series, Stark Industries Intern Peter Parker, Mentor Tony Stark, Mentor/Protégé read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/54166102

Fanfic asks
Thanks to @mossrose10 for tagging me!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
83
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
665k
3. What fandoms do you write for?.
Only Marvel (so far) and mostly just Irondad.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Emergency Contacts Flash gets a hold of Peter's phone at a party, and can only access the emergency contacts. Parker has a "Dad" listed in there, but Flash knows his dad died. As a joke, in the heat of the moment, he texts a ransom message to that contact. He didn't expect a very angry Iron Man to show up minutes later.
Cutting Remarks Peter Parker's field trip ends up being at Stark Industries, thanks to a little push from Pepper. Peter makes Tony promise to stay out of it, but Tony has never been great at keeping his distance. FRIDAY basically calls him a stalker. Kids are mean. Peter is self-sacrificing. You know, the usual.
Better Than I Was Rhodey makes it down to the Tower for a visit, and to meet the "intern" Tony has been so busy with, and is surprised by what he finds there.
Sick Day Shouldas Tony gets a call from Peter's school, asking him to pick Peter up because of a migraine, which turns out to be a result of his senses being haywire.
Outside Insights Since he had a head injury that prompted observation for 24 hours, Peter ends up having to shadow Tony as he attends to some SI business. It happens to be "Family Day," and lots of people are confused about the relationship between Mr. Stark and the kid he brought with him.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try hard to respond to every comment. But sometimes I get woefully behind! :( (Like right now!)
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Do any of my fics have angsty endings? Not really... Maybe Near-Arctic Adventures would count with Rhodey's musings at the end, and looking at the series possibly ending in "Infinity War" happening.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of my fics have happy endings... I'm going to randomly pick Birthday Breakout.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not so far. A little constructive criticism here and there. :)
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I have not. I don't usually read them either.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I don't think so.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not yet, though we've talked about it a bunch of times, haha. I've co-brainstormed a bunch, and written a few of those!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
The platonic Peter Parker & Tony Stark one is probably my favorite, but I've liked lots of them in the past. :) Lois/Clark in Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, Edward/Bella, Jasper/Alice, Spock/Uhura, (that was cheating, wasn't it...)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I don't have any WIPs I don't think I'll finish, unless it's the AU of my soulmates AU that I started. I don't know if I'll ever post it, therefore I'll probably never finish it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Grammar and spelling, attention to body language, fun dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Rambling about things that aren't that interesting, not great at cutting stuff out after I write it. (I'm crap at "killing my darlings.")
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I do some in Italian for Peter and Tony in Hardly Coincidence and the rest of the soulmate universe, but I usually switch to English and just indicate that they're speaking Italian for anything very long. (It has also inspired me to study Italian on Duolingo though, and I have a 225 day streak!)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I tried writing a Pern fanfiction (Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders) at least 20 years ago. It wasn't good. I didn't make it past the first chapter, and didn't try again until I was almost 40...
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
How am I supposed to answer that? If I was cheating I'd pick the whole Strands in the Rope series, but maybe Visiting Hours is my favorite standalone.
No pressure tags: @fotibrit, @spagbol99, @asyouleft, @opal-earrings, @niniblack and @cajun-fangirl (and anyone else who wants to do it!!!)

do you still talk to ciaconnaa?
i DO! she's the love of my life and my sun and stars and knight in shining armour and I would do anything for her (other than remember to send her the print that I made like 6 months ago and keep telling myself I will send). I would fight a giant and maybe a wilderbeast and definitely a god for her. to this day I have a folder on my laptop of screenshots of all the funniest things she's texted me. she has sent me sparkly rocks in the post. one was a necklace that I wore so much that it broke. anyway. yes. I love her. if it did nothing else good in this world, the irondad community gave me the funniest person on the face of the planet and gave HER the SECOND funniest person on the face of the planet. destiny or something

20 Questions (for fanfic writers)
got tagged by @fieldsofview :)) (and probably someone else. i have a draft of this from november. oops.)
1. how many works do you have on ao3? 47 as of yesterday:)
2. what's your total ao3 word count? 190,927
3. what fandoms do you write for? i've bounced around a lot of fandoms since i was like, 10, but since august 2022 i've been strictly writing for mcu spider-man (technically more leaning toward irondad, but. u know). with this in mind however, i have a couple 9-1-1 wips and am about one bad day away from writing big time rush fanfiction
4. top five fics by kudos: Peter Parker's Guide to: Texting, Twitter, and Tony Stark (2,110 kudos)
Everything's Coming Up Potatoes (439 kudos)
Is That a Potato in Your Pants, or Are You Just Happy to See Me? (422 kudos)
If You Give a Guy a Potato, He's Going to Ask You on a Date (401 kudos)
be mean to me (if you need to be mean) (331 kudos)
5. do you respond to comments?
Tumblr media
...
i try my best. i genuinely have no idea how it's gotten this bad (if i ignore your comment please don't take it personally—i forgor)
6. what is your fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? oh god i don't have anything w/ a sad ending posted LOL i'm too much of a sucker for a happy ending. (i do have mcd in my drafts tho!!!)
maybe 15. There It Is Again, That Funny Feeling? It's more of a hopeful ending, but considering the context of the story entirely, it's pretty sad.
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? every single fic in the series All's Fair in Love and Potatoes. this series is my happy place amongst all the death and despair on my account
8. do you get hate on fics? besides the hate i receive from sapoteylx? no
9. do you write smut i do! it'll never see the light of day but i do!
10. craziest crossover: i hate crossovers sorry guys. on my old ao3 tho i wrote a heathers au hamilton fic and that's probably the closest i'll ever get to one (unless we're counting r&r? since it's technically twd universe?) also this one time (i was 11. keep this in mind) i read a fic that was tagged jacob sartorius/bob duncan and i think about it daily
11. have you ever had a fic stolen? i hope not???
12. have you ever had a fic translated? NO but that would be so cool. i have some regular commenters that tend to comment in spanish and i'm always wondering if it would be easier for them if i had it translated but i only speak engish. idk fic translators are gods gift to writers i fear
13. have you ever co-written a fic before? i cowrote a hamilton chatfic in 2018. next question
14. all time favorite ship? every peter parker ship ever (excluding all the minor/adult ones). big sambucky and pepperony fan too tho
15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? i have this wip that's like, peter agrees to go undercover for a mission because they need info from some big bad guy and peter is obviously the least recognizable of the bunch, but he gets kidnapped and all that good stuff. idk if i'll ever get around to finish it, because it's like 9 planned chapters and that is SO ambitious for me.
also my cellist!peter au? i've been trying to write it but the words haven't come to me idk
16. what are your writing strengths? ooooo i think i'm good at realistic dialogue and character dynamics—i have spent hours of my life on fandomwiki looking at different character's quotes and watching videos of their interaction with other characters because that's something so important to me.
i think i'm good at balancing angst and humor too?? idk the walking dead really shaped my writing style because u can have a silly scene and then 2 seconds later someone is dead on the floor. hope to carry that vibe through everything i do.
17. what are your writing weaknesses? i am so bad at describing settings and character actions. i can always see the scene in my mind but on paper it turns into they are at a house. peter sits down in the chair, and is sad. and it gets to a point where i just give up on trying to fix it
18. thoughts on dialogue in another language? ough if i ever write dialogue in another language i'll be consulting someone who speaks said language (which is what i actually have done!!!! i have a fic coming out soon w a spanish title and i asked aster-argent for help:)). or doing the thing people do where they just put the text in italics and write ," he said in spanish or some shit.
idk for the most part i stay away from it (ignoring the throwaway, casada harley joke i make in my parkner series) because at the end of the day i am a white girl who learned how to count to 10 in spanish because of dora and took 3 years of german.
19. first fandom you wrote in? ok so. i was 11 and on quotev, writing a chatfic about the bands twenty one pilots, panic at the disco, my chemical romance, and fall out boy. the fic is still up and it makes me nauseous to think about
i think technically i had an ldshadowlady fic out on wattpad before that but it was a blatant ripoff of another fic so. i don't count it
20. favorite fic you've written? i think this answer changes every day, and will change when i get my next group of fics out, but as of right now—
i'll put down my roots when i'm dead i'm just so proud of it idk. first time i've ever really met a deadline and probably the most passionate i'd been about getting a fic out since r&r began? i just love the whole thing.
Is Close the Closest Star? this one is definitely a tie with the several other angst oneshots i put out around the same time, but idk something about this fic is so special to me. it's like 6 months old and i know my writing's improved since then, but i'll always go back and reread
okok last one sorry ur making me pick my favorite child. Unrotting Your Insides, Unrooting Your Limbs i am such a sucker for recovery fics sorry. i've written several fics about bulimia but this is my fav because it's just. so soft.
tags
oh god i don't have enough writer friends uhhh @norahdevore. if u have not done this already. i am holding a gun to your head and making you do this (and anyone else reading this. please guys)

✨, 🍉,🎀,💌
From this ask game
✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)
The One Where T'Challa is Shuri's Weakness, which I wrote with @fluencca. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever worked on. I wonder sometimes if the title puts some people off, as Black Panther is one of the best MCU movies but not necessarily the most popular text in fandom land. But if Irondad is your thing, if Shuri & Peter being genius teenagers together is appealing, or if you just like kidnapping and angst fics, I really like this one and think a lot of people would enjoy it.
🍉in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life?
So many ways. The big one for me is that I had a falling out with my high school friend group. There were sides, and I was in the smaller half, watching the bigger half grow closer and closer while some of us got shunted out. Which is why Civil War Fix-Its are so healing for me, because emotionally-speaking I always identify so hard with Tony. And I prefer Civil War Fix-Its over bashing fics that take sides, because for a long time, all I wanted was a final conversation with those friends where we all said sorry and acknowledged mistakes were made on both sides. That, and the idea that even after everything that happened, that Tony and Steve still miss each other. I find that idea very powerful and comforting.
🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing
...this is hard. Okay. I think I do theme really well. That tends to be my go-to when I'm constructing a base for a story. I have a moral tale I want to tell (usually something I've just learned for myself and now want to express narratively), so I have some characters learn it. Usually through a hostage situation because hey, whump is self-soothing and cathartic.

👉👈 would you perhaps be willing to share your discord invite??
The server I was referring to in my last post is fun. 😂😂 Just a bunch of Irondad enthusiasts discussing fanfiction. But it's not mine.
However! I asked the mods, and they're cool with me sharing a link. So, if you're an Irondad reader or writer, feel free to check it out!

A list of prompts I will write someday (maybe):
(totally not connected to the fact that I’m participating in MTH noooo siiir don't you go and look at my auction)
identity porn / stuckony
Steve has feelings for Tony but he’s too busy dealing with supervillains Iron Man and Winter Soldier. Tony likes this new Cap, but it’s kinda weird that the guy is called Captain America, especially considering that Tony’s married to Bucky. Bucky saw his second husband kissing his first husband (apparently not dead?!) and isn’t sure how to deal with it. At all.
gilmore girls au / winteriron
I made a longer post about it a while back, but basically: Tony as Lorelai, Bucky as Luke, Peter as Rory. Howard gets no redemption. A surprise addition of just-thawed!Steve & Tony identity porn (oh yes this is canon divergence actually).
texting fic / winteriron / irondad / identity porn yet again
Bucky is Peter’s teacher. Tony is Peter’s bio dad. They text a lot. Peter is very confident in his matchmaking skills. Also— Tony, trying to keep on the down low: I need that kind of anonymity because I’m a minor celebrity. No big deal but still recognizable. Bucky, who turned on the TV with the Avengers press conf a second after he talked to Tony and is now recognizing his voice: I’m sorry, a minor celebrity?! also, you look like you’re hurt, leave this shit and go home
soulmate au / winteriron
Steve & Bucky were both found earlier, and now they’re famous heroes. The fact that the serum stops them from aging only helps that. Tony wishes he knew them but unfortunately they had a big fight with his dad when he was a toddler and haven’t interacted with the Starks ever since. In other sad news from Tony’s life, he has a colored soul mark, meaning he has met his soulmate, but he doesn’t remember it, meaning it happened when he was a kid. Howard refuses to tell him anything about it, making Tony think it was some boy he met during one of the fancy parties. On the eve of his 21st birthday, Tony gets kidnapped. But his longtime crush Bucky Barnes is luckily there to help him escape! (yeah, sure, a total coincidence).
BDSM youtube fic / winteriron
Bucky is a youtuber who does a lot of sex ed stuff, especially on BDSM. He has a side series of him getting an interview from some fancy business guys and acting like a character from 50 shades. Then he explains the prank to the person, asks their permission, blurs their faces, and posts it. It’s hilarious. He doesn’t expect to get an answer from the Tony Stark, but guess what? Tony watches his series. (they decide to make a video together playing it up more and debunking myths. it’s mostly pining)
the good place au / winteriron
Tony gets dusted and goes to the good place. Good news: he has a soulmate, and it’s Bucky! They both call bullshit immediately and manage to fix the afterlife before the undusting. also: fall in love.

5, 17, and 43 for the fic ask game!
[For the Fanfiction Writing Ask Game]
Three questions??? You spoil me! <3 I think I'll need a Read More for this one my friend xD
Hahaha! Ha! Ha.
Many. So, so many.
I have a bad habit of starting projects and not finishing them, so I have a plethora scattered throughout my Google Docs files that are anywhere from multiple pages of unposted fic, all the way down to single-sentence unused prompts. Sometimes I left them behind because I lost motivation, sometimes my hyperfixation shifted and I (sadly) couldn't focus on that fandom anymore.
But let's see...uh....I glanced through my older stuff first just to see. But for now I think I'm just gonna count what I'm either actively working on, or what I wish to continue when my motivation returns...because if you counted all the abandoned WIP's I've gathered over the years, I think the number would be close to 30, and I don't want to list them all up here. (Maybe I'll drop it at the bottom of this post if you're curious***)
For one, I have two IronDad fics I plan on finishing: one that's a shorter Mafia AU that's 2/3 complete, and a much longer (and heftier) multi-chapter fic that has been awaiting a new chapter for over a year I think. A Little Late On The Blood Work my beloved...I'll come back when I get inspiration again 🥺💞 I also have an old Jacksepticeye Egos fic called #SamLives that I've been wanting to continue for ages but haven't, along with a Night at the Museum fic (Jedtavius) that I at least need to finish the current arc for because the comment section is sad.
And MOST recently I've got a bunch for Hermitcraft/Empires/Traffic Life that I'm in the process of actively writing...which I believe add up to a total of six?? I think? THREE are partially posted/being updated (Through a Crack in the Void, Domino Effect, There's Not a Word Yet), and the OTHER three (two Team Rancher, one that's literally Every Ship Under The Sun With Some Found Family On Top) aren't gonna be on my plate until I finish some of the other ones.
17. Do you have a writing routine?
Not really! Usually once I get an idea, I just - jump in. If I get stuck and want to skip something just to keep the writing ball rolling, I'll throw one of these in the middle of the page: ASDJNAKFBEKAJBA ...and just leave it for later. It's bold, red, and easy to spot when I'm scrolling through a long document, which is nice! It helps make sure no blank spots get missed in editing! (I also red-dye words, sentences, or paragraphs I'm feeling shaky on, so I can spot them easily and come back later when I get a better idea to fix it.) And if I decide to completely change a section I'm writing, I'll often copy the original version, paste it at the bottom of the doc in case I decide to change it back, and turn it a pastel color so I don't confuse old versions for the current text.
I also sometimes make calendars on Excel/Sheets if I really wanna keep track of time, and I often have a separate (and somewhat disorganized) doc for Notes on my longer fics. There's also a document where I write down potential lyrics options for There's Not a Word Yet chapter titles, but that's the only time I've done that for a fic.
43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?
I feel like someone asked me this a while back, so I've definitely thought about this! But honestly? A mystery or a time-travel fix-it...which I am well aware are two VASTLY different tropes lmao.
I've always been envious and in awe of well-written mystery/detective stories, because so many little details go into them to make them work. I'd love to build one of my own someday, but I have yet to find the right motivation to do so.
As far as time-travel fix-its go...they're just...they're so fun to read, because I love to see how one little change can affect an entire timeline (see also: Domino Effect) but they're also a LOT of work to write because it involved basically retelling a story that's already been written but in your own words and with a twist. Somehow writing something fully original comes easier to me than trying to build my writing around something else that already exists. But god I'd love to have the motivation to write one of 'em anyway! It'd be fun to decide how everything changes all because of one little difference in choice :3
5. How many WIPs do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?
Hahaha! Ha! Ha.
Many. So, so many.
I have a bad habit of starting projects and not finishing them, so I have a plethora scattered throughout my Google Docs files that are anywhere from multiple pages of unposted fic, all the way down to single-sentence unused prompts. Sometimes I left them behind because I lost motivation, though most times my hyperfixation shifted and I (sadly) couldn't focus on that fandom anymore.
But let's see...uh....I glanced through my older stuff first just to check for this hah. But for now I think I'm just gonna count what I'm either actively working on, or what I wish to continue when my motivation returns...because if you counted all the abandoned WIP's I've gathered over the years, I think the number would be close to 30, and I don't want to list them all up here. (But I'll drop it at the bottom of this post if you're curious***)
For one, I have two Marvel/IronDad fics I plan on finishing: one that's a shorter Mafia AU that's 2/3 complete, and a much longer (and heftier) multi-chapter fic that has been awaiting a new chapter for over a year I think. A Little Late On The Blood Work my beloved...I'll come back when I get inspiration again 🥺💞 I also have an old Jacksepticeye Egos fic called #SamLives that I've been wanting to continue for ages but haven't, along with a Night at the Museum fic (Jedtavius) that I at least need to finish the current arc for because the comment section is sad.
And MOST recently I've got a bunch for Hermitcraft/Empires/Traffic Life that I'm in the process of actively writing...which I believe add up to a total of six?? I think? THREE are partially posted/being updated (Through a Crack in the Void, Domino Effect, There's Not a Word Yet), and the OTHER three (two Team Rancher, and one that's literally Every Ship Under The Sun With Some Found Family On Top) aren't gonna be on my plate until I finish some of the other ones.
(One of them is a cute 5+1 one-shot about Tango calling Jimmy "buddy" and Jimmy learning that "buddy" has a lot of different meanings depending on how Tango says it and who he's saying it to. The second one is an extension of a one-shot I already posted called Coming, Coming Home, where S8 HASA!Tango crash-lands in the mesa outside Tumble Town, and like - yeah. Yeah. I'd love to continue that one. And the LAST one is a Double-Life-based Witches/Familiars AU that started as Renchanting Duo and has since extended to every member of the Life series and even some Hermits.)
***ALL THE OLDER FICS I HAVE YET TO COMPLETE: I've got one for Doctor Who, a handful for JSE Egos - #SamLives - one for Night at the Museum, one for Encanto. Six for Marvel/IronDad (including a Mafia fic, a SPN AU, a Peter-gets-shot and Tony-goes-dad-mode hurt/comfort, and A Little Late On the Blood Work which as I said I'm just longing to get inspiration to return to). A witch/familiar Supernatural AU fic and an SPN time travel fix-it that I barely started. There's a TangoTek one-shot I've abandoned featuring his rage moments from both LL and DL. I also have an old fic from high school for a game called Ib that I'd love to revamp someday...and my Original FanFic that started it all, which was for Harry Potter, and I was like 12, and it will never EVER see the light of day. My god. It's...it's rough.
