#looking through the tag on ao3 is fascinating tbh i love reading the summaries

[riacte]

screw it. give me your ten fanfic teams I’ll do it

Hiiii brave soldier in my inbox hiiiiiiii (also if you do end up posting whatever, please don't mention me by name lmao although I feel like some people will figure it out anyway lol)

I think SBI / Purple4 HAS to be top place. Like there's basically no contention. They changed the world. If you sort the MCC tag by kudos, the first page is basically SBI found family with some hermit Tommy / watcher Grian.

[Puts on my hermit bias lenses] (Everything other than the above is hermit / hermit adjacent I know nothing about anything else) Blue9 is second place to me (I'm biased) (they have a dedicated Ao3 tag) (there are 14 fics). Mint19 also deserves high honours because it is SOOOOO Tumblr fandom influenced like we seriously put them in maid dresses?? It became part of Renchanting lore?? Very very sexy??? Hmm????

People have been asking for Boatem team so uhh Grian Scar Impulse Pearl I guess (SORRY MUMBO). Lime Life winners. Grian's various Pride teams. I think Scott Tango Jimmy (someone) would also drive the Ranchers / FH people crazy. [Digging around dynamics with clout on twt] and uhhhh Scar Grian Joel Jimmy. Bad boys plus desert duo I think people are gonna eat it up right. Right. Is that how clout works

You know what, the hermit bias is too much. I'll pull up the stats from the MCC tag on Ao3 and. Oh. Um. [Hermit bias lenses clatter to the ground]

No Romantic Relationship(s) (64) Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & TommyInnit & Phil Watson | Philza (50) Wilbur Soot & TommyInnit (45) Clay | Dream/GeorgeNotFound (Video Blogging RPF) (42) Toby Smith | Tubbo & TommyInnit (35) Clay | Dream & GeorgeNotFound & Sapnap (Video Blogging RPF) (26) Technoblade & Phil Watson | Philza (26) Clay | Dream & Sapnap (Video Blogging RPF) (23) Ranboo & Toby Smith | Tubbo (20) Technoblade & TommyInnit (Video Blogging RPF) (19)

.... If you want stats they're here I guess. Also I'm pretty sure there was at least one Wilbur/Ace Race fic which is soooo funny to me.

Lime14 has three fics (all by me). Pink9 has six fics. I pioneered the Lime11, Purple13, and Mint19 tags (they each have one fic). Shoutout to the tag wranglers and I'm sorry I should've tagged them better 😭 aLSO I just realised they have tags for events?? Like there's 15 fics in the MCC17 tag?? Do I have to tag back everything lmao

Y'know what, regardless of cast it's actually cute that there are so many Gen fics and fics with No Romantic Relationships. We all love that found family friendship shit. And I'm sorry that this wasn't very helpful because I'm throwing spaghetti to the wall and hoping it sticks haha

#ask box #answered #im a simple blog. the biggest thing they can do is blue9 reunion [again]. #looking through the tag on ao3 is fascinating tbh i love reading the summaries #it makes for a good fic setting tbh. angst. competition. fluff. winning. likeee #oh my god do i have to add back the mcc9 tag to all of my fics. help #o7 tag wranglers + im sorry

[dxncingwithastrxnger]

i want something just like this (Mileven)

A/N: Day 2 of Mileven week has arrived!!!! Guys, this story is my fluffiest yet and I also think it’s my best and favorite so far, I literally love it so much. Also, apparently I have a thing for domestic Mileven going on right now, so that’s fun, lmao. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed writing it!!!! I’ve always been fascinated by the “main fanfic character dreams about original storyline/timeline” trope, tbh, so I was super excited to use it in here. (Spoiler alert, I guess? It’s mentioned like once, so it’s not a super big focus technically, lmao)

Pairing: Mike Wheeler x El Hopper

Summary: Have you ever dreamt up a story so compelling that you just had to share it? Such deep lore that you knew you couldn’t just let it disappear into your subconscious? Something so complete and deep that apart of you thinks that it must be apart of some other life, some other world, some other place that is not the one you’re currently in? What was it like?

Prompt: Day 2 - Stories

Tags: Fluff, soooo much fluff, guys. Absolute teeth-rotting fluff. Annndddd, lots of dialogue to make up for yesterday’s lack of dialogue 😂

Song Inspiration: Something Just Like This By The Chainsmokers + Coldplay

Word Count: 2,386

Not beta’d, all mistakes are my own.

"Daddy, daddy, can you read to me again tonight?" Daisy asks her dad hopefully. Mike smiles at his daughter. They had read stories to her when she was younger, but she had insisted they stopped doing so, that she didn't need nor want them anymore. But recently, she's wanted her stories back again, and Mike and El are very happy to oblige.

"Of course, pumpkin, what story do you wanna read tonight?" He asked her, walking over to her little blue bookshelf in the corner of the room.

"I wanna read chapter 3!!" She tells him excitedly. Mike chuckles and nods his head, grabbing the paperback book laying on top of her shelves and walking back over to Daisy's bed, sitting on it next to her and leaning back against the headboard. Daisy snuggles up to his side and leans her head on his arm, watching and waiting for him to start. Mike wraps an arm around her and opens the book, flipping through the pages until he finds the beginning of the third chapter. He clears his throat and begins.

"Mike was entirely intrigued by El. There was just something about her. Something he couldn't quite explain just yet. But he was completely determined to figure it out. It was like whatever it was, was right on the edge of his mine but it wasn't really in the spotlight yet. Like it was making a slow crawl from his subconscious mind to his conscious mind. Maybe today would help him bring it all the way over. For now, he just had to focus on the task at hand, his current plans for the morning. 1.) Eat breakfast. 2.) Go down and give El breakfast. 3.) Have El go ahead with the plan he came up with last night. Once that was all done, maybe then he could focus more on other things.

He goes downstairs after getting ready for the day and takes not just two, but three waffles out of the box, once he's checked that no one else is looking. He waits for them to toast and then quickly shoves one of them into his jacket pocket, putting the other two on a plate and taking them to the kitchen table, sitting down beside his sister Nancy as he does so. He starts eating his food quickly, wanting to make sure he had the few extra minutes needed to go downstairs to El.

"Slow down, Mike, that's disgusting!" His sister complains from beside him.

Mike rolls his eyes, then gets an idea. "Did you get a lot of studying done last night?" He asks sarcastically, his mouth still full of food as he turns to look at her-"

"Why didn't he at least swallow his food first? That's gross. Boys are gross." Daisy complains from beside him.

Mike chuckles. "What, even your brothers?" He asks her, knowing that she absolutely adores her two younger siblings.

Daisy sighs. "I guess they're not as gross as other boys." She says, acting aloof.

Mike shakes his head at her fondly and continues reading right where he left off.

"Yeah, actually, I did." Nancy tells Mike matter-of-factly.

"What was your test on again?" Mike asks, tilting his head to the side as if in thought. "Human anatomy?" He asks her. Nancy gasps, offended and annoyed, and aims a kick at Mike under the table. Mike returns her annoyance and kicks her back.

"Hey, what's going on!?" Their mother asks them.

"Nothing!" Both of them say at the same time. Their mother just sighs at them and continues what she was previously doing. After that, MIke just finishes up his breakfast, puts his plate in the sink, and rushes to get downstairs. When he gets down there, he sees El awake and fiddling with his supercomm.

"Oh, hey, you found my supercomm. Pretty cool, huh? I talk to my friends with it. Mostly Lucas 'cause he lives so close. Signal's pretty weak." He tells her. She looks at him but doesn't say anything, so he continues. "I brought you breakfast." He tells her, pulling the waffle out of his pocket and holding it out to her. She takes it tentatively and begins to eat it."

Mike's next words are cut off before they can even start by another interruption from Daisy.

"Why does Mike get two waffles but El only gets one?" She asks him, looking up at her dad.

Mike tilts his head to the side, thinking for a moment, before looking back down at her. "I'm actually not sure about that, pumpkin. Maybe he couldn't take too many from the box so he only thought one would be best." He suggests. He himself wasn't even sure why it was a thing. He just knows that it's exactly how things happened in his dream, so he put it on paper the same way. It never occurred to him that it was a little random. It was more of something a child would pay more attention to than an adult, in a way.

Daisy lips turned down in a pout. "I don't think that's very fair. El should've gotten two waffles." She insists.

Mike chuckles and kisses the top of her head. "I guess you're right. I'll keep that in mind for next time." He tells her.

"Good." She says, nodding to herself as she turns back to the book in Mike's hands.

"So listen," Mike started again. "This is gonna sound a little weird, but I just need you to go out there." He pointed towards the basement door leading out into the yard and El followed his gaze before looking back at him as he continued. "Then go to the front door and ring the doorbell. My mom will answer and you'll tell her that you're lost and that you need help. But whatever you do, you can't tell her about last night or that you know me. Understand?" He asked, hoping El would get what he meant. She gave him a strange look and he tried to reassure her. "Really, it's no big deal. We'll just pretend to meet each other again. And my mom, she'll know who to call." He told her.

"No." El speaks the word that seemed to be one of the only ones she actually knew.

"No?" Mike questions her, confused.

"No." She repeats without hesitation.

"No you don't want my mom to get help?" He asks El, starting to realize that there was something more going on with this girl than he originally thought. "You're in trouble, aren't you? Who-who are you in trouble with?" He stutters, uncertain now.

"Bad." She tells him, leaving him to more interpretation.

"Bad? Bad people? They want to hurt you? The bad people?" He asks, his anxiety rising higher with each question out of his mouth. He wasn't sure why, it was more of that unexplained thing he keeps feeling with El, but the thought of someone trying to hurt El didn't sit right with Mike at all. It made him feel scared, but also angry. It wasn't a feeling that he enjoyed at all.

El reached a hand up and held out two of her fingers pressed together with her thumb sticking up, pointing it in the direction of her own head. Like a gun, Mike realized. Like someone was pointing a gun at her head. She then reached out and made the same gesture but pointing at the middle of Mike's chest this time. Then, she put her hand back down in her lap. "Understand?" She asked him quietly.

Mike nodded, swallowing. But before he could respond to her outloud, his mom called for him from upstairs. "Michael, where are you? We're going to be late. Let's go!" She tells him.

Mike quickly starts getting up, a plan already forming in his mind. "All right, I'll be back. Just stay here, okay? Stay here!" He says to El urgently, suddenly filled with a strange fear that she would decide to leave once he left the room. But El just stared at him as he stood back up, not seeming to have any plans to go anywhere else, and so Mike turned around and quickly ran up the stairs, out of El's sight."

Mike continues to read to Daisy until they've finished the entire chapter, ending off right as El promises Mike that she's okay when he finally lets her out of the closet. Mike closes the book and sets it on her nightstand, getting up and tucking her in all the way with a promise to continue the story tomorrow night. He turns off her main light and flicks on her fairy lights, closing the door behind him as he leaves the room.

He sighs softly, a smile on his face, as he walks down the hallway towards the twins' room. Since Daisy was in school, she had a more set sleep schedule. Her 3-year-old brothers, however, do not. Though it's not for lack of trying. Last he'd seen El and the boys, they were in their room cleaning up their toys from that day's play and activities. Usually once Daisy's in bed, they try their best to get their boys settled down at the very least to just do some coloring or watch a movie or two so that they're not running around while their sister is trying to sleep and they usually get to sleep easier that way.

Mike pushes the cracked bedroom door open the rest of the way gently, careful not to make too much noise in case the boys are already asleep, taking in the dark of the room. When the door no longer obstructs his vision, his face softens into an expression filled with love and affection. His wife is sitting in the middle of Jackson's bed, one hand holding a tablet that seems to be playing a movie while the other hand rests on her stomach. On either side of her are their two sons, Jackson on her right and Henry on her left, and both of them are asleep, soft snores leaving them as they lean against their mother's arms.

El looks up as Mike enters the room and she smiles brightly at him, absolutely glowing. "Hey." She whispers in greeting.

"Hey." Mike whispers back, returning her smile as he walks over to stand beside the bed.

El giggles softly as she pauses the movie playing on the tablet. "They both fell asleep right around when Merida's mother first turned into a bear." She tells him, turning the screen to show the movie on the screen, Brave.

"Oh, sleepy little boys tonight." He says, surprised.

"Apparently so." She replies. She looks up at him. "Mind helping me out of this trap they've created?" She jokes.

Mike laughs softly and nods. "Why of course, I'll get right on that." He tells her, reaching down and gently pushing his arms under Henry's back and knees, picking him up as best he can without disturbing him too much. He turns and gently lays Henry in his own bed, pulling the blanket up over him. Henry snuggles into his bed, sighing in his sleep and then laying still again. Mike leans down and kisses his temple gently before turning back towards Jackson's bed. El has now gotten up and the two of them switch places, El kissing Henry's temple while Mike kisses Jackson's.

As Mike stands up, El grabs his hand and intertwines their fingers together and heads towards the door, Mike following her lead as they leave the room and close it gently behind them.They walk down the hallway together in silence, heading towards their bedroom to settle in for the night. Once in their bedroom, El flicks on the lights and Mike walks over to their dresser to get out his pajamas for the night, humming softly to himself as he does so.

"Do you think she'll like it here?" El asks him softly. Mike turns around and sees her standing in front of their full length mirror, having taken her shirt off.

He walks over to her and gently wraps his arms around her from behind, his hands resting on her stomach. Her hands automatically come up to settle over hers and she leans back against him, Mike's chin on her shoulder. He meets El's eyes in the mirror. "I think she's going to absolutely love it here." He looks down at El's stomach. "Isn't that right, Anabelle?" Right as he asks his question, there's a strong kick from the inside of El's abdomen, and El gasps.

Mike laughs and presses his face into the side of El's. "See, she even agrees with me." Mike says matter-of-factly. He was beaming, grinning from ear to ear, and he knew that El was doing the same.

"You're such a dork." She says. "Both of you are, I just know it." She teases, rubbing at the spot that the kick came from.

Mike snorts. "She is my child after all. If not, we would have some serious problems." He retorts.

El playfully smacks his arm lightly, laughing. "Oh hush, you know she's yours." She tells him. Mike just chuckles in response. They stay like that for awhile, just holding each other and their unborn baby, enjoying the noises of nighttime in their house in contented silence. Eventually, El leans more heavily against Mike and she turns her head to gently nuzzle her nose against Mike's cheek, Mike doing the same to her in return. Then they both turn slightly and their lips connect in a sweet, soft kiss.

"I love you." El tells Mike.

Mike closes his eyes and rests his head against hers. "I love you, too. So much." He says.

"Good." El tells him, her words full of meaning that only the two of them would truly understand. And everything was exactly as it should be.

Fandoms written: 

BTS, EXO, KNK, MONSTA-X, MAMAMOO (unpub), original fiction

General questions:

1. Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or what you predicted?

to be honest like sure, 300 or so pages was like wow okay that’s great i would love to write that in one year!

but then instead i go ahead and write 760+ pages waht the fuCK--

so, um, yeah, i was predicting less, a lot less.

2. What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?

smut. smut. smut. holy shit, listen, smut literally makes me scream and cry whenever i attempt to write it, and i’m pretty sure the me from like a year ago would attempt but fail, horribly.

((that’s the me rn tbh lmfao))

3. What’s your own favourite story of the year?

well tbh i answered this kind of in this ask, but if it really came down to it... god, this is hard...

I really did like the concepts behind the talks, is all i can say.

4. Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?

smut, writing about various other touchy subjects (/coughs/ drug use, death, all that stuff). um, oh gosh. what did i learn?

that i absolutely love describing the morbidity of the dark subjects

((albeit pretentiously at times))

5. Do you have any fanfic goals for the new year?

...................loooooooool finish my requests, of course!

or at least get my current to be done list cleared out :’)

From my past year of writing…

My best story of this year:

Stories 

best?? Like the one that turned out to be the best? God, that’s hard. Let’s just say that for now.

My most popular story of this year:

Accelerate (M)

for reasons that.. well, I can understand ;)

(if ur looking for a non-smut fic, i have no idea which is the most popular. i’ve written way too much, fuck me in the ass)

Most fun story to write:

Race of Truth

for obvious reasons ;)))))))) crackfics are great in that you don’t have to really worry about things making sense, you just kinda get to go along with the flow

Story with the single sexiest moment:

this drabble 

.....I would answer with a scenario except I don’t even read my own smuts and I don’t know if I want to so I’ll just say this instead. It’s PG-13, yall.

Most “holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you” story:

this.

me @ me lmfao gurl y

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:

execute ?

hahhhhhhhh hm. idk, i typically write hoseok as some sunshiney figure and in execute he’s like a badass spy guy and i didn’t really bring out his sunshine personality as much.

Hardest story to write:

Seal

oh my god. Fake dating fics are so hard to write, wow. i think it also has to do in part that I don’t really read that trope.

Biggest surprise:

Fascination, because LOL WH At 

Most unintentionally telling story:

Stories 

Unintentionally? Well, um. Unintentionally telling story.... that’s also a hard question. The ones I can think of I intentionally incorp’d real life events inside because they were funny.

I have no idea, but i’ll just say this because I find it the most relatable as an author (and that was kind of my intention, lol. rip.)

Favourite opening lines:

“It begins with a train: clunky and steaming, weaving through the mountains, headed straight for the heartlands. Then–

A boulder.

Jagged, colossal, tumbling from the mountain peak. Fast. Ripping trees from roots, crushing the central car of the train. The train tips over, its weight lurching dangerously near the cliff, engine still running and wheels turning uselessly. Suspended in air.” 

--The Talks

“You realize a few things when you wake up, head pounding.  

1. This isn’t your room. Or any room that you recognize, for that matter. Where the fuck are you?

2. You’re really really hungry. An all-you-can-eat-buffet sounds fantastic. So does a giant cookie with a pint of ice cream dumped over it—what was it called again? A pizookie, right.”

--Realize

“‘I need help,’ you say with a groan, flopping onto the end of Yoongi’s sofa.

‘You need all kinds of help,’ he responds, not even bothering to look up from his phone. You make a whining noise, reaching over to weakly slap his thigh.”

--Attempt

Favourite closing lines: yeah not choosing one of my one-liner endings LOL

“Such a dull, ugly story you both have lived, but it does shares a commonality with even the greatest epics and legends of time–

You inhale, deep.

‘All stories end.’”

--Hunt

Favourite lines from anywhere:

“’So what’s death to you, then?’

His lips curl into a dark grin. ‘Death? Death is the ultimate party: everyone is invited, and everyone attends.’”

--The Talks

“He wonders where those dreams went, what happened to the bright eyed kid, jumpy with eagerness, itching to explore the world.

Who threw those dreams down the drain?

A twisting knot in Jimin’s stomach tightens; he feels as if he already knows the answer to that question. He shies away, hiding behind blind arrogance.

(He realizes that he may have forgotten something much more important than his textbooks and homework in the classroom.)”

--Lost

Scenes from anywhere you would have choose to have illustrated:

The beginning of Burn

The duel scene in Back

The entire Timebreaker!Hoseok drabble

New year’s resolutions...

start posting on ao3, finish my wip (hopefully), get shit done

fix my theme

be more active

make new friends

read n be happy ;)
