⭐ gush about I Dig You 💚
🥰 I Dig You is so special to me.
It always blows my mind how much love there’s been for that fic. Especially because it was the first fic I wrote, and especially because it’s about something that I adore.
I read everything fanfic written in the fandom for months before I started writing myself, and once I decided to try I felt like I needed to use something that I knew. It helped take away some of the intimidation of writing.
I love writing modern, real-world AUs - there’s just something about taking these fantastical characters and dropping them into slice-of-life situations that makes them feel so real and me feel so connected to them.
Aelin’s job in I Dig You is a Bioarchaeologist which is basically the person who works on a dig site (or later in the lab) and handles/identifies/analyzes any human or faunal remains found during excavation.
My degree is in Anthropology and Archaeology with specializations in Osteology. I’ve worked with hundreds of human and animal bones in a variety of settings - one of which was a summer spent working on a dig site that focused on Bioarchaeology. Lots of self insertion in my fic lol
There were days when I was writing chapters and I had my forensic anthropology textbooks out making sure I had the details right (all the terminology and scientific information in the fic is completely accurate btw), and I always joked like what would my professors say if they knew I was using their lectures to write fan fiction? 😂
I also love puns. And alliterations. Most of my fics are titled with one or the other lol and I had so much fun just brainstorming chapter titles for I Dig You.
I have more ideas of how to expand the story like taking a look at Rowaelin a year after the dig, or seeing the history between the Faunal specialists (Elorcan). But I haven’t gotten around to writing those.
I’ve taken a bit of an unintentional writing hiatus but talking about this makes me want to dive back in 🥰
Thanks for asking!

Sorry I'm not low empathy autistic in the "mysterious loner boy who secretly cares about his friends and talks in a monotone voice" way and I'm actually just completely indifferent to the suffering of people I don't know personally and help strangers out of a sense of "this is the right thing to do" and not "I feel so bad for this person" or guilt.
I sit and listen to my friends even though I don't really care about hearing about their problems because I know they'll be upset if I don't, and despite the fact I honestly can't genuinely care about the issue itself, I care about the impact it's having on my friends and that's enough to make me want to help them through it.
Did you know that's actually an expression of empathy all of its own?
It will absolutely happen again I literally am not even sorry
