thinking about the St. Mark’s Eve after Gansey’s death. right before graduation. things are finally settled again after the disaster of the past year, and Blue doesn’t want to bring up the impending church watch, but it’s been on her mind since January at least. She keeps thinking about all the spirits of people she loves who could show up while she and her mother sit on that stone wall. Adam. Ronan. Maybe even Gansey again. She doesn’t say anything about it leading up to the day—she doesn’t want to worry anyone else when they’re finally living again. But she worries. Then, on the night of the watch, Maura takes Blue out to the church (after checking that she’s sure she wants to go) and when they arrive Blue’s boys are already there. Henry brought far too many snacks and too much excitement for a night of hours spent in the cold with nothing he can see. Adam and Ronan are already seated on the wall, trying to push one another off every few seconds. And Gansey, unable to fight habits, has brought a recorder and extra gloves for Blue because it’s going to be cold and he knows she won’t have brought any with fingers. Maura makes them promise to be quiet and respectful or leave (fat chance of either), but Blue suddenly knows that there isn’t much to worry about this year.

fic writer interview
I was tagged by the illustrious and wonderfully talented @electricshoebox like...days ago and then promptly forgot. But I wanna do it! So here goes.
Name: Straight to the difficult questions, huh? Fine...Lillian.
Where you post: Pretty much exclusively my AO3
Most Popular One-shot: Don’t have a one-shot yet, because I am a wee fanfic baby. Might work on fixing that soon.
Most Popular Multichap: Dogfight! First fic I ever wrote. Deacon/F!Sole Rosie Castevet who is both a badass and a crybaby, miraculously at the same time. I personally think it’s a bit...rough. Especially at the beginning, but hey! I’m learning! I’ve learnt! I...you get the idea.
Favorite story you’ve written so far: It’s actually turning out to be Fugue State, my Maccready/F!Sole fic. Like I said, I’ve improved a lot and I started this one off solid. I love Midge, and I love her and Maccready’s dynamic, and because of their personalities, I get to hold a loooot of stuff back. Kid back in the Capital Wasteland, who? Tragic backstory involving the death of a beloved brother, what? More trauma between the both of them than you can shake a stick at but they both refuse to share, where? In my other fic, Dogfight, Rosie kinda just...tells people stuff. She doesn’t see the point in hiding it. Whereas Deacon’s the one who shares small pieces at a time, (after spilling his guts about his dead wife.) Now I’ve got two stubborn idiots who hate showing weakness. Fuck yeah. Those idiots are gonna take forever to kiss.
Fic you were nervous to post: Fucking both of them.
How do you choose your titles: Funnily enough, both of the titles of both of my fics relate to the sole survivor’s career prewar. Rosie is a fighter pilot, hence the name Dogfight. Midge is a pianist. Fugue State is both a reference to a literal fugue, (a type of musical composition,) and a psychological fugue state. Losing your identity and sense of individuality and having to work to get it back. Who are you without the spouse you lost, you know? Both Midge and Maccready have to figure that out through the course of the fic, and...you know...some of us take longer than others.
Do you outline: Pfft. No. And I think it’s very obvious. Every time I try to outline anything I just end up...writing it. I have a structure in mind and I know where I want to go and (mostly) how I want to get there, but no, I don’t outline. I usually let the characters guide me through the story and...voila. I let those words flooow baby!
Complete: none. :) you’re welcome.
In progress: ALL. BOTH. OFTEN WRITING FOR BOTH FICS AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE I’M A BIG DUMMY. Actually, I have been focusing more of my energy into Fugue State lately, but I’m still a big ol dummy head. Don’t be fooled.
Coming soon/not yet started: So, uh...I may have written little snippets from Mac’s eventual trip to DC in Fugue State...including interacting with that universe’s lone wanderer...and it made me totally want to write the fic. It did. So, yes. I have a tentative idea and foundation for a fallout 3 lone wanderer fic. Oh, you wanna know the pairing? Well too bad, so sad, buckaroo. My lips are sealed.
Okay it’s Female Lone Wanderer/Butch Deloria but you didn’t hear it from me.
Prompts?: Never done them. Not opposed. Not sure!
Upcoming work you’re most excited about: Oh, you’re trying to get me to talk about that lone wanderer fic, huh? Well, move on, buster! I’m not even sure I’m gonna do it. Yes I am. It’s not like I even have a solid basis for who my lone wanderer even is. Yes I totally do her name is Jane and she has a very cool baseball bat and I love her.
Tagging anyone who wants to do it! I’ll be the fall guy, don’t worry. Just say I tagged you and do your lil interview you cutie patootie, you. 😘
