Ballet au fics? I heard of one potentially called 'pirouettes and cigarettes' but couldn't find it anywhere

pirouettes & pipedreams by beanwitch (M | 14909 | 10/10)

Brushing auburn hair from his forehead, sweaty from his rush over, the new dancer is no other than Andrew’s irritatingly gorgeous next-door neighbor. Andrew’s eyebrow twitches. ******** This year is Andrew’s second with the unconventional Foxhole Ballet company. When the new recruit turns out to be the attractive (yet suspicious) stranger who moved in next door, he becomes 104% certain this development can only lead to homicide. ******** An AFTG Ballet AU.

The Tide by zoeellendraws (G | 20473 | 6/6)

Kevin and Andrew participate in a showcase that could make or break their ballet careers and discover a promising new talent in the process. Or Mysterious Ballet AU

(not) falling apart in half time by teddy_writes_not_ted_talks (T | 22180 | 26/?)

Kevin Day's parents created a beautiful dance called The Fox Court ten years ago, meaning this is the last year it's eligible for an award. With one of his soloists suddenly dead, he needs a new person in the spot. And hey, his old friend Lia just resurfaced... as a guy named Neil, after the death of his mafia father, who was working for the mafia that sort of adopted Kevin when he was younger. This would be a terrible plan, but luckily Kevin has his dance partner Andrew Minyard close by.

the missing part by bluefilaments

"I can hear your thoughts," Keith nearly whispered.

Lance went pale, but that wasn't what Keith was focused on. Because he could feel the horror creeping up inside himself as Lance heard his declaration. Because he could feel his own heart skip a beat in time with Lance's. Because he could feel the rejection bubbling up inside him as Lance frantically worked out what all this meant.

"Wh—what are you talking about?" Lance said, stumbling over his words even while his mind screamed clear as day please say you're lying just say you're fucking with me don't play these kinds of games with me—

In which the paladins are subjected to the unfortunate consequences of a broken mind meld program.

Mod's Fic of the Day

I added this fic to the Non-AO3 Rec List but I feel like it deserves it's own post.

Incident Report by K'Sal

PG tos, kirk/spock established relationship, humour, misunderstandings, t'hy'la, epistolary words: 24,723 'kirk sends spock an incident report, but spock claims there wasn't an incident. just what exactly is going on here?'

#fic of the day #< might become a thing? #established relationship #humour #misunderstandings #t'hy'la #espistolary #rated gen #20-30k #spirk fic #k/s fanfic #not ao3 #spock's stack of books

[strangeswift]

if you're waiting for a fic update: ao3 has a sub feature and that will notify you when the fic updates, that way you don't have to harass the author about when it will update. because you will know when it updates because you will receive an email. and you can just be patient until then.

#and 20-30k chapters roughly every 2 weeks is fucking unheard of lmao like. chilllllll.

[ad-astra-per-asparagus]

This should be a crime. Only TWELVE? The people (me) are starving!

#currently writing a canon divergent fic between 20-30k bc im so famished like i need this sapphic ship to sail #tokunobu akemi #mizu #mizemi #mizu x akemi #blue eye samurai

[loptrcoptr]

Your “my god how out of touch am I” moment of the day is: I keep getting comments on this fic I’m writing that are like “worth waiting for the update”, “this was worth the wait” and I’m so confused because I have been posting chapters… every ten days at most? what wait, that’s a fast schedule, I thought! And the chapters are between 5k and 7k words each! Each! The fifth chapter is currently sitting pretty at 10 fucking k so I’ll probably have to split it in half…

But I’m dying over this I think it is wild lol. Do people not remember what it was like to have fics that updated every six months, if that, for nearly a decade? Is this something no one else remembers? Have we gotten so into instant gratification culture that waiting a week for 5 thousand words of fanfic is a long time?

This is all so wild to me so I guess I’ll go write another 5k about it lmfao

#am I that old like?? goddamn lmfao #meanwhile Ellis #I did this to myself obv the first chapter is 7k. I should have split it up because now I have locked myself into longer formats for each #chalter which means I am busting my balls writing everyday which is w I l d this was NOT on my 2024 bingo card at all #oh well I’m just along for the ride at this point and I refuse to slow my roll #this fic will top 35k by chapter 6 and it looks like my estimated 14 chapters is gonna end up being closer #to 17 - 20 if I’m gauging my outline correctly #who am I you guys what is happening this fucking cartoon has straight up bodied me #me: I never complete nanowrimo writing 30k in a month is hard #also me: I will write nearly 40k in fanfic in a month though out of nowhere for no reason

[koko2unite]

I hate those artists that think we're all competing here, so they try to take you down by mass reporting, fake accusation, silent mutual, even straight up discouragement. I'm here just to draw gay furries being naughty, mostly for my own enjoyment. I'm not here to compete!

#and its always the 18-20 yos with 20-30k followers #getting way over their head #we're supposed to support each other jfc

intentionally took the long way home from my grandparents' house so i could drive through the sticks and FINALLY some good fucking food!

💞 👀 for the fic asks?

💞 Who's your comfort character?

Ah. Well, that obviously evolves as you go, doesn't it? At the moment...it might actually be Lan Wangji? In that there's something I find really comforting about writing him. His perspective is deliberately just opaque enough to the reader to give the fanfic writer room to play around, but he's got some big clear outlines to stay within and all kinds of canonical internal drama to explore.

I'm not sure I ever really have just one of these but I thought of him first, so.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

I am so very trapped in the mdzs gyre, okay, the wip I've been having the most momentum on recently that isn't an ongoing and isn't original is this slightly goofy but also kind of ambitious AU where I made up an excuse for the book to open with Wei Wuxian getting summoned into a body that looks like his own, as per cql, but Mo Xuanyu survives the process and is a separate guy.

Because I was like, I have rarely seen Mo Xuanyu explored at his adult age and in his original context (such that all the limited information available can be applied) and never interacting with Wei Wuxian. Because killing him is how you get Wei Wuxian.

(Ofc this is also true of the Shen Qingqius and Shen Jiu gets to strut his stuff in fanfic all the time, because his presence/absence within the narrative builds him up within canon and he's got a presence in the extras to work with, plus the setup of svsss is just friendlier to bullshit, asspulls, alternate universes, etc. Mxy is just thoroughly shafted lmao, ty for your generous body donation, please exit existence completely.)

Well, suppose you sidestep that? I put together a mental mock-up for how, and got hooked.

Mo Xuanyu is a very entertaining pov character to work with, and I'm having a lot of fun working with how differently events would unfold if Wei Wuxian came back looking like himself and was immediately saddled with a companion.

Because, you know, so much of the way the romance builds in the book is that Wei Wuxian has lost absolutely everything and is completely alone in the world, and then Lan Wangji basically thrusts himself into his life and won't let go.

Wei Wuxian could have ditched him if he'd really wanted, but since he mostly just thought it was the smart thing to do, and actually he fucking hates being alone for long, making it more inconvenient for him to run off than to stick around was all it took to maintain the proximity long enough for lwj to establish himself as the person wwx could rely on. Is my rough interpretation of where they're at, in the 'pretending to be Mo Xuanyu' period. It's kinda fucked up but not as bad as it looks at a glance.

The presence of actual Mo Xuanyu blows this setup to smithereens, as well as changing other things like Wei Wuxian's travel timing etc, so it's been a fun time figuring out how the emotional beats and relationships slide around without changing anything else about the situation, really.

Plus Mo Xuanyu knows rather more than Wei Wuxian about the current worldstate, but so much less about the personal context of every Sunshot veteran other than Jin Guangyao.

Also Mo Xuanyu is very gay so I'm tormenting him with the presence of beautiful men lmao.

#ask #hoc est meum #mihrsuri #mdzs #ask game #writing #fanfiction #quite satisfying doing an AU that diverges at the start of the text #so i don't have to run around too much setting up background #but i can mostly avoid the stations of the canon #anyway The Mo Xuanyu Fic is at about 30k #but 20 of those were done in the first week

A Kiss is a Kiss (But it's never like this) by GibbousLunation

“How does this keep happening to us, every time.” Lance grumbled.

“You’d think they’d stop sending us on away missions,” he agreed. Honestly, between the poisonous plants of their last planet, and Lance’s tendency to always end up on the business end of every blaster or pointy ended stick, Allura was just being inefficient at this point.

Or, five times Keith kissed Lance but the situation was less than ideal, and one time Lance finally kissed him back.

Sometimes having a big girl job with a big girl paycheck means I can now commission my fave writers and artist.
