Hello hello~ I was wondering if you like zombie apocalypse AU’s? If so, Because my request for you is a non Twst zombie apocalypse!
Lilia and Silver become separated and try to find each other with the odds stacked against them- with their respective parties trying to instill the realistic idea that their father/son is likely dead, but when they find a sign of the other, they have hope.
[✐] ficlet frenzy
Four years ago, a mysterious outbreak swept the world by storm. Countless people had, seemingly out of nowhere, become stricken by a strange disease, one that clogged their minds with a vile, ink-like substance that had come to be known as “blot.” A zombie apocalypse, the news reporters called it, the infection rendering people mindless, shambling monsters. It was a topic that was once restricted to the realm of fiction, except now, it was their reality.
Over the course of mere months, the world collapsed in on itself. Countless people died, succumbing to the illness — those who merely passed away were considered lucky, for a sizable number of them wound up reanimated by the blot, groaning as they shambled around with the purposes of finding others to attack.
Silver had been lucky that his father was such a capable man. For the first several months, the two of them had taken refuge in a bunker Silver hadn’t even known they’d had, keeping each other company, their only source of news coming from a crackly radio. It wasn’t until they’d begun running out of food rations that they were forced to leave the safety of their shelter, venturing out into the wild as well-equipped as possible, searching for any supplies and signs of civilization.
They’d stuck together for a year. One year of surviving together, working in tandem, until a horrific ambush at a seemingly abandoned building, zombies suddenly storming the lobby, split them apart.
Tumblr media
“My father isn’t dead.”
That is the truth that Silver stubbornly lives by, refusing to relent on this vicious belief no matter how hard any of his fellow survivors try to tell him otherwise. The only person who remotely believes him is Kalim; everyone else looks at him with scepticism when they hear his insistent words. Riddle simply frowns, while Jamil heaves a sigh, and the twins look at him with a mocking pity in their eyes. Even Idia, when he bothers to tear himself away from tending to his younger brother’s haphazard prosthetics, mutters something about hopeless optimism.
But it’s true: Silver’s father cannot be dead. Silver knows this in his heart and soul; his father is too strong, too prepared, too important to die. Even though the last Silver saw of him was him firing off at a swarm of zombies as he yelled at Silver to run, faced down with a seemingly hopeless fate, he knows that his father has to be alive somewhere.
He’s kept his eyes and ears out for any hint of his father’s existence since then, but to no avail. Silver can only sigh as he helps to pack up their supplies as they head off for a location Idia received from his mysterious partner — a man he communicates remotely with through morse code signals, technology utterly jammed in this wretched apocalypse.
Silver hopes that he’ll find something today, any trace at all that his father is alive.
Tumblr media
“My son is not dead!”
Lilia snarls those words whenever someone tries to warn him against clinging to hope. The practice of optimism is a dangerous affair during the volatility of a zombie apocalypse, but though Lilia exercises a cautious pessimism with everything else, this is the only thing he refuses to back down on.
He knows Silver is alive. He has to be. Lilia had told him to run when the zombies broke in and began to swarm the two of them — Better him alive than me, he’d thought back then as he turned back to the screeching mob and began to gun them down. The swarm had been burnt to a crisp before he’d finished, courtesy of those who found him, a group that had saved his life in exchange for his services and supplies.
Lilia knows nobody believes him. Fools, the lot of them! Still, none of them can complain considering how versatile of a survivor Lilia is; he knows that those in his group value his skills, especially given his ability to trade morse code messages with another distant group of survivors, trading little bits of information about safe spots and supplies. Azul is hard pressed to give up such precious details, but Lilia can’t give a single shit about profit when the world’s ended and everyone’s dead or worse.
He finishes off the last bits of a message before he joins the others — Azul grumbling about all they have to leave behind, while the youngsters, a group of five, give the money-minded man the stink eye. Vil chats with Rook about where they shall head next, and Malleus dips his head at Lilia as he joins them.
Lilia hopes that he’ll find something today, any trace at all that his son is alive.
Tumblr media
Silver sees it when they arrive at the safehouse. He finds it when he’s cleaning up, searching around for any supplies they can store: a tiny little container that makes his heart leap from the familiarity of it, the colours and gilded edges catching his eyes in the dust-covered haze of the apocalypse.
And within it—
(His breathing stutters to a stop, heart catching in his throat as a well of hope springs up within his chest, bursting anew.)
A rotting acorn bracelet is nestled inside.

Danny has constellations in his eyes. he's not human anymore. He's something more.
He's cold to the touch, ice in his bones, his heart doesn't quite beat anymore.
Duke, his eyes reflect in the light, he like a shadow out the corner of your eye, its hard for people to look at him head on.
Finding each other on a rooftop. Danny's listening to music from his phone. Signal drops by to see why this dude is sat on a roof rop just before the end of his shift, watxhing the sunset.
The song changes, and danny smiles at duke, fangs and all. "wanna dance sunlight?"
Danny knows hes a bat but this guy has the brightest feelings hes ever felt. being near him feels like basking in the sun.
Duke sees the stars in dannys eyes, he looks at him head on with no hesitation. thats hard to come by anymore civilians havent met his eyes since his powers fully came in. Danny feels like the vast expanse of space. breathtaking and vast, contained into one infinitesimal body.
Duke holds out his hand. dannys small smile turns into a wide grin displaying just how not human danny is.
Duke feels like hes gazing upon thousands of stars. He feels small, but seen, the chill is a comfort that feels right.
Danny feels like hes found someone that could be the sun, duke's small smile as he grabs danny hand growing wide and warm as danny pulls him into a spin, joy lit up by the golden sunset.
(will be expanded on)

WIP TITLE GAME
rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
TY for the tags here @galaxycunt and here @rorywritesjunk!!
I def don't have enough people to tag for each WIP 🥴 No pressure tags for: @discordantwritings @turtletaubwrites @be-not-afraid-gg
WIP Reading Buddies - A Line from Me to You
WIP Fake Dating Fanfic
Reader Humiliation Kink
AMAB Performer Pt 2
Ficlet
Angsty Breakup
WIP Pirate Therapist
(Besides the ones with WIP, which are either multi-chapter or needed to be outlined, I write everything in one chaotic doc like an abomination. I originally used "Tumblr Bits," now it's "March Focus Writing." I should probably rename it...)

When you said prosenna fics, I immediately thought of these(then again, there's not that many of them tbh 😭)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/49765153/chapters/125615521
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3231869
https://archiveofourown.org/works/51481300
The second one is a must, I think it's the first or one of the first prosenna fics I read, and I'm still obsessed with it and its narrative. And I really really like the first one as well, mostly cause I think it's crazy to get such a well done season-long narrative fic for a ship that's 30+ years old. And the third one was posted recently by the same author and I liked it it a lot as well :) (also you should look thru antimonyandthyme's prosenna tag!!!! A couple really good ficlets, if you haven't already seen them of course)
catie ilysm. omg
super funny story i just finished reading link 1 (was recced in the survey!!) and link 2's in my own rec list :)))) will def check #3 out heeheeeeee and OMG YES. athy's prosenna is devastating i think its what got me into them??? and some truly truly insane kangeiko stuff
thank you for speedy answer ily ily !! <33

FANFIC TAGGING GAME
I got (honorable) tagged by the wonderful @theartofdreaming1- thanks!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? - 321
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
1,322,068 words (at the moment)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Still writing for The Flash, but every once in a while a new show/movie grabs my fancy and I write a few fics for that.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
An unimpressive bunch but here goes: Muse (456), Replacement Scrunchie (393), Fallen Star (357), Inconvenient Inspiration (343), and Drabbles (277). Muse is a handful of one-shots based solely off spoilers before I saw the eps they were for. Replacement Scrunchie is my sole fic for the TATBILB fandom about Peter & LJ's first date (which was way less impressive than what the sequel movie gave us, WOW). Fallen Star is my most popular westallen fic to date, so that one's actually not too surprising. But both Inconvenient Inspiration and Drabbles are requested (the latter) and spontaneous (the former) brainstorming ficlets and snippets for The Flash/WA. Bo-ring.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Eventually.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oh, gosh, I have so many unfinished fics that it's hard to remember the complete ones that I finished that didn't end so happy, of which there aren't many. Maybe...Breaking Point though.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All the others have happy endings. Go read them. Lol.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
When I wrote for another fandom I did, but not really in The Flash fandom, which is nice.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yep. And uh...descriptive, I guess? I'm def not the best out there, but I do my best and for the most part smut-lovers seem to enjoy.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I've attempted a couple crossovers, but I haven't completed any or gotten far with them, usually because there wasn't an audience for it.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yeah, I discovered a whole bunch on another website years ago.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
In the process of it!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Stuck on Westallen atm, but I used to write Chair, and I was highly obsessed with them as well.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Oh god, I have SO MANY WIPs. One that I really want to finish but fear I won't though has got to be He's MY Barry Allen. I'm just stuck on what the next chapter will look like, and as of yet no one has come forward with a solution. Lol. The Problem is Tony Woodward is another one like that.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'd like to think I can hook people into my fics fairly well and drop enough cliffies to keep them coming back for more. But ofc the smut helps too. Most of my fics include at least some smut, even a single scene.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Sometimes I have trouble making a chapter (or a scene for that matter) all that long. I've seen people write like 10k+ for a chap, and unless I'm crazy inspired, roughly 1-3k is what you're getting.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I actually dabbled in this a little bit for a westallen fic where Iris was learning Italian, I think? I did some research and managed to sift in enough for that one-shot, but I can't imagine I'd do it repeatedly or for a multi-chap.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I believe it was the STAR WARS prequels, but it might've been The Day After Tomorrow.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
It's unfinished, but there's so much untapped potential in my Flashpoint fic. Lots of world-building that's present as it rides the line between canon divergent and AU. Hopefully one day I'll get back to it.
...
As much as I'd love to tag a bunch of people, I can't recall anyone who still writes fic that I follow on here, so I'll just shout out my bestie @simplylove101 who is prob done with writing but may want to answer these questions either way!

alright time to write an essay detailing whatever yaoi has done to my girl nancy wheeler. so like, even when it comes to yaoi shippers nancy has had stonathan, harringrove, AND steddie over four seasons with steddie already having massive popularity + the other shippers, wheras thankfully eleven only has to deal with byler shippers when it comes to the victimization. but not to diminish eleven any more because she has def gone through it in fandom, im going to get into nancy's stuff: you will notice all three ships she supposedly gets in the way of (ignoring jargyle because the shippers are chill in my experience) involve steve harrington, AKA the most popular character if i had to guess and the white boy of the month. see, they were dating at one point in s1 and s2. the breakup was messy. like he kinda was complicit in her slutshaming at one point and didnt let her grieve her dead best friend properly and she ambiguously (as in nobody can fucking decide when the break up was) cheated on him so yeah. messy. mutually. if not more on steve's side given he was a bit of an asshole in s1-2 but gets better. yadda yadda fast forward to harringrove in particular, AKA steve x the guy who attacked a black child and abused his younger sibling (and im not attacking anyone thats just. what happened). basically 90% of them try to convince people nancy is abusive for the two arguments that occurred and is a slut and privileged (never mind steve being probably the most well off member of the main cast + hes a white guy in the 80s) blah blah blah. also ironic they call her abusive OFTEN when billy (one half of harringrove) kinda like threatens his sister max and breaks her things and otherwise abuses her Often. but yeah. they hate her for breaking his heart. they hate her for getting in the wya of their ship possibly. they hate her in general. add that to the general fandom misogyny and suddenly a large number of people are writing essays about how much they hate her and how she's a piece of shit, actually. fast forward to s4 and steddie and a new problem arises: steddie shippers keep flooding her character and ship tags with primarily steddie. so now your options regarding her are mlm ships and mlm shippers shitting on her. also keep in mind there is now more content for half of that ship, a guy who shows up for an hour and dies in the same season, than nancy, a mc. and if you like nancy ships like jancy or ronance, too bad those tags are flooded as well. as in someone did analytics in august for ronance i think and at one point the majority of main pairings in the ronance ao3 tags itself was steddie. either way both ships usually end up as side ships or bait into a steddie centric fic or tumblr post. or nancy ends up third wheeling and getting them together. as a nice bonus (not really) recently steddie shippers have decided that they too hate nancy and have entire posts and common plots (i have seen tumblr ficlets/hc's and people discussing this as a common trope for steddie fics on ao3) about how nancy was a horrible person who damaged steve's self esteem and ability to be in a relationship or something from a break up, as if the relationship wasnt mutually harmful and compounded by nancy's whole dead best and possibly only friend thing. and whoops for ships like ronance that isnt allowed either because steve's friend isn't allowed to interact with his ex despite the fact that said friend literally said he was an ass in the s1-2 timeline. all of this making it impossible to find any positive content without it being interrupted for a character who, if i remember correctly, has almost as much screentime as eleven (and eleven at least has popular fan content and other ships that dont somehow loop around to byler/mike). and whats worse is that while canon doesnt have yaoi victimization it does have heteronormative bullshit in which she is forced into a love triangle with the same guys TWO TIMES. she literally cant win so let her win a poll maybe also sorry this is super fucking long <3
Whoooo Nancy

Eli Vanto and music (or at least when Thrawn notices)
I feel like Eli would be the kind to constantly be consuming or making music. On my drive home from work today I thought up a few examples of this- or at least the examples that thrawn notices
I know some of these are iffy cannonically, but just roll w it or scroll on :)
this is also my first time writing anything fic related, like literally ever so if you have any recommendations or tips pls let me know!! I also dont know if i should call this a drabble or ficlet or what it is so feel free to tag as you feel is right
(Bisexual! Eli, Thrawn is... jealous?, Yea hes def jealous, Eli is a fucken tease, Thrawn is bad with feelings, I will most definitely be writting more installments of this bc omg this is FUN)
CW: Alcohol, getting/being drunk, 18+ to be safe, clubs/bars
Minors DNI :)
First Time- Heads will Roll, Yeah Yeah Yeah's
Eli had more friends than Thrawn did at the academy, Thrawn knew this and Eli denied it. Eli enjoyed ocassionally going out with said other friends- particuarly on the weekends. While Thrawn had been in these sorts of scenes in the past, he didn't actively seek them out. Nevertheless, Eli- being Eli, manages to convince Thrawn out for a night.
It was mid-fall on the city planet, and the air was comfortably cool with a crisp breeze that would sweep through to cause a chill to run down the spine.
When Eli had dragged Thrawn out of their quarters, it was just past sundown and the world was painted in a blue glow- the kind that makes you slow down to take it all in.
Eli had dressed in a set of civilian clothes- slightly fitted blue jeans, chelsea boots, a short sleeve button up. This was unlike anything Thrawn had ever seen him in and he silently thought to himself that he looked good.
Entering the club, the atmospheric change was one that Thrawn could feel with every one of his senses.
The temperature became warm and fuzzy, loud music and chatter clouded the room, the smell of high-end fragrances and booze was heavy in the air. There were all sorts of species- none like Thrawn, of course- but the variety could allow him to blend in ever so slightly easier.
A pair of waving humans caugh Eli's attention, who grabbed the cuff of Thrawns sleeve to pull him through the crowd behind the tan skinned human.
The trio chattered while Thrawn continued to observe his surroundings, the way that the group of Twi'leks in the corner danced on each other, the bartender mixing fantastical looking beverages to serve to the seemingly intoxicated group next to them.
His eyes continued to scan over the dancing strangers, all huddled in close and moving to the beat of the-
"Thrawn".
Snapping back to the moment, Thrawn was meeted with a sickeningly sweet smile from Eli, and the curious eyes of the two that were known as "his friends".
It took only a few seconds for it to dawn onto Thrawn that he was being introduced. He quickly put up a polite smile, "pleasant to meet you both".
Eli's smile grew a little bigger.
Thrawn lifted the glass once again, taking down the amber liquid. Eli's friends lingered for about an hour before dissapearing on the dance floor, leaving Thrawn and Eli at the bar.
Not much had been said between the two in the 20 minutes they had been alone, excpet for Eli offering Thrawn different drink options. He settled on simply ordering two of anything he got, and Thrawn was silently grateful.
Eli placed his empty glass down on the counter with slightly more force than before, prompting Thrawn to look his way.
"My apologies if I have bored you, Cadet Vanto."
Eli responded with a tight lipped smile, too polite to say anything, especially since he had been the one to drag Thrawn out. He then flagged down the bartender, and soon after three small glasses of clear liquid were placed in front of the two.
One was pushed by Eli in front of Thrawn, the other two he dragged towards himself.
Picking up one of the glasses, he raised it up, brought it back down to tap the counter, and then took it in one go- his head tilting back.
He followed with the second one, and waited for Thrawn to follow suite.
After a few moments of Thrawn just looking at Eli, the later eventually got the memo and took the third shot down.
The music faded into a song higher in volume and intensity.
"Dripping with Alchemy, shiver stop shivvering"
With a quick smirk, a "wish me luck", Eli winked at Thrawn and made his way out towards the group of people. Thrawn watched with fascination at how he naviagted the large mass, eventually ending next to a young female twi'lek.
Thrawn sat with his hands folded on the counter, watching his aide and the stranger he had found.
"off off with your head, dance dance till youre dead"
Eli was positioned behind the twi'lek, skin pressed to skin as his top was now completely unbuttoned.
He ran his hands up and down the twi'lek, painting a masterpiece with his movements. Their hips pressed into each other and swayed with the grooves of the music.
Thrawn had always found his aide captivating, but never like, well like this. His movements were intoxicating, and Thrawn couldn't pry himself away from watching.
The twi'lek spun around, kissing Eli's neck, encouraging him to throw his head back, a small amount of sweat accumulating along his hairline.
Mouth slightly agape and smiling, his eyes closed. He continued to trace her body as she kissed up and down his neck.
As she moved away to spin back around to keep grinding against him- Eli opened his eyes to meet Thrawns, giving him a hazy, drunken smile before putting his attention back to his partner.
Thrawn left shortly after he witnessed this interaction of Eli and the twi'lek, with a strange feeling that he was unsure of. He wasn't sad, or upset, but it was something peculiar. He brushed it off on his walk back to their room.
When Eli didn't return until the next morning with purple marks scattered on his neck and chest, Thrawn determined that this feeling was an unpleasant one.
Second Time: Love it if we made it, The 1975
A few months after the Club Incident, Thrawn encountered Eli's music endevours a second time.
Thrawn followed a strict schedule- usually down to the minute. When he goes on his runs after his and Eli's workout sessions, Eli usually heads back to their room to do whatever.
Today though, Thrawn started to develop a headache shortly into the run and he decided to call it quits early.
Usually Eli has this 2ish hours to himself, where he can exist in his own space without any fear of judgement or questioning from his chiss roommate.
It usually starts with a shower to wash off the sweat.
When Thrawn entered their room unexpectedly early, he was met with an absense of Eli in the main area, the shower running, the refresher door open, and some decently loud music playing.
The music was familiar, as he had heard bits of it when Eli had his headphones up too high. This was different though- now he could hear all the words of the song.
"Start with misdemeanors and we'll make a business out of them
And we can find out the information access all the applications
That are hardening positions based on miscommunication"
Along with the sounds of the band and the singer, was a mumbly sounding fog overtop of it all.
Thrawn stopped outside the fresher, listening to the music and mumbly sounds trying to figure out what was happening in there.
Was Eli working through some issue? Talking it outloud to help organize his thoughts? It was a sound that was definitely coming from Eli- Thrawn just could not decipher what he was mumbling about.
"And poison me, daddy, I've got the Jones right through my bones"
Thrawn listened closely the words, trying to find a meaning of them that could make sense as to why Eli would enjoy it.
What parts of this did he resonate with? Which chords hit home to him?
Thrawn moved to sit on his bunk, the music still loud and clear as he continued to think through how this song would relate to Eli.
The next bit of the song seemed to clarify this a little more.
"The war has been incited, and guess what? You're all invited
And you're famous, modernity has failed us"
Eli seemed to sing this bit a little louder, growing up to the chorus where he sang it clear and bodly, the syllables punching off his tongue, pitches gliding from his throat with ease.
He was surprisingly good, really good. Thrawn listened now simply for the enjoyment of getting to hear Eli.
"And I'd love it, if we, made it."
"I'd love it if we made it"
It dawns on Thrawn that the mumbly sounds that he initally heard was Eli singing along, just much much quieter with less confidence.
As soon as the song ended, the shower turned off as if Eli had been waiting to get out until the tune had finished.
A few moments later, Eli strolled out of the fresher, his skin still damp, hair dropping water onto his chest, a blue towel wrapped around his hips showing off his impressive muscular build and v-cut.
In his hands he held a datapad, Thrawn assumed thats what he had been playing the music from.
"It was an honor to get to hear you, why didn't you show me your talent sooner?" Thrawn expressed his content with being able to hear his aide.
Eli jumped slightly, not expecting Thrawn to be back. He quickly grabbed the towel as an extra security it wouldn't fall, tossed the datapad onto his desk, and adjusted his posture a bit.
Thrawn could see warmth spreading across his face quickly, and he assumed that the man was embarassed to have been caught.
He attmepted to cover his embarassment, "Sorry sir, I didn't know that you had returned, I would have turned it off if I knew"
Thrawn tilted his head as he eyed up Eli, confused by his response "There would have been no need, cadet Vanto, like I expressed, you have a lovely voice. I do not mind"
Eli gave an embarassed smile in return, quickly grabbed a pair of sweats and a t shirt, and vanished back into the fresher-shutting the door this time.
Thrawn had hoped that he could hear his aide sing again sometime, it would be nice to see him in the open and unafraid. This way Thrawn would have been able to see how the music affects him as a whole, rather than just guessing what the meaning was to him.
He opened his data pad again to read up on some studies, a warm feeling inside him that he couldn't comprehend.

If you're still doing the ficlet frenzy, maybe Silver getting sick, and Lilia and/or Malleus having to take care of him. I love the idea of Lilia and Malleus having to learn how to treat a young Silver while he's sick, but any age will do. Anything you write at this point is a Godsend.
[✐] ficlet frenzy
"Lilia, I believe it would be most prudent if I were to make the soup."
"Nonsense, Malleus!" Lilia laughs, a joyous sound that sends dread rippling down Malleus' spine. His guardian smiles at him, one hand resting on his hip, a ladle in the other. "What sort of a person would I be, to let the crown prince of the Valley take over the cooking? Besides," he adds, a teasing lilt to his words, "do you even know how to cook?"
No, Malleus does not. All of his meals have been prepared by the many cooks of the castle — as is their duty, after all. But then again, does Lilia even know how? Malleus cannot help but feel an endless pity for poor Silver, bedridden and flushed with fever from an ailing sickness, for he will have to eat... whatever mutated dish it is that Lilia creates.
Subjecting Silver to such horrific anomalies is bad enough on a normal day, but when he is ill?
Before Malleus can reply, he feels Lilia press something into his hands before turning him around and giving him a shove. "If you really want to help, why not go assist Silver in taking his medicine?" Lilia suggests, a twinkle in his eye. In the background, Malleus can already see a flurry of ingredients coming together to create what will be the worst slurry to ever be considered sick food.
Malleus exhales, but finally concedes.
Tumblr media
Humans are so fragile.
That is the thought that crosses his mind as he helps Silver sit up in bed, propping him up with the help of pillows conjured from his magic. Slowly, he presses spoonfuls of liquid medicine to Silver's lips, urging the sick young boy to open and swallow, before moving on to poultices and herbal remedies — a wide array of cures, anything and everything that can help him get better.
By the time he is done, having whisked up a cold cloth to cool the boy's fevered forehead, Malleus winds up sitting by him along the edge of the bed, unwilling to leave so soon. A strange feeling settles within him, infesting his heart — he cannot pinpoint what it is, only that looking at Silver, weak as he is, makes him feel this peculiar, protective way.
"M'leus," Silver whispers, voice raspy and cracking at the seams. He reaches out a hand, trembling and oh so small.
Malleus takes it, curls his fingers around Silver's hand. From Silver, he can hear a soft sigh that nestles within his soul.

• do not tag as kin/me/ID/etc • do not repost/use •
Yoinked some pics of (alleged) bass players off pinterest for poses ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ the ghoul outfits from Terzo's era are def my fav ngl, the Aesthetic™️ is quite nice👌🏻
I spent several non-consecutive minutes today brainstorming a ficlet to contextualize the brand on him re: the way I headcanon some of the summoning lore for ghouls (I don't think they're demons either, per se), but I didn't get around to making myself write it. This weekend, mayhaps!! Amongst efforts to knock out a huge chunk of reading I have to do for a work thing😭

no one asked me to list my fav blogs but i’m just gonna make my own end of year follow forever bc i wanna rant abt my talented friends, beloved mutuals, and just people i follow that i have never spoken to but who are such a joy to see on my dash. so, without further ado, maddy’s 2022 follow forever:
@strangeswift abby strangeswift, my beloved. you were the first person i talked to in this fandom and i’m so glad u were bc u are the sweetest most kind person ever. you are so supportive of all your friends and mutuals and u make me wanna be a more outwardly loving and supportive person fr. i remember when u wrote that lil ficlet based on my text post and i’m p sure i almost cried bc i felt so special that someone had been inspired by something i had said to write smth so wonderful. you’re an incredible writer and i am always so excited anytime you post any of your writing. i can’t wait to read more of your fics and am so patiently waiting for MilevenVision (as much as i may bug u for crumbs). i’m so glad to call you a friend <3
@elekinetic ella ella, bonded in shared discord trauma so ur never getting rid of me. i feel so honoured to call you a friend bc you are one of the best people i know. you are so smart and level-headed and loyal as hell to your friends. you are also so kind and you're so deliberate with what you say and how you say it. you defs intimidated me the first few times we talked but now im like oh ya ella, my amazing talented friend ella. your scripts give me so much life. and not just your st ones but your original ones as well. can't wait to one day see "ella elekinetic hexagirl" in movie credits (bc obviously ur last name is ur url). and your OCs?? i have never once become obsessed with someone's OCs the way i can't stop thinking abt yours. that's what you've done to me. you are so incredibly talented and ily <3
@andiwriteordie ANNDDIIIIII ILY FR <3 u are so insanely talented and kind and wonderful. i’m so happy we started talking recently bc u have truly brightened the last few weeks of the year. u got me back into watching merlin so thank u for the pain u will surely cause me as i rewatch this show i haven’t seen in almost a decade. ur fics were some of the first that i read in the byler fandom and that means u will always hold a special place in my heart. i remember the first time i read your let's hear it for the boys series and i was just like omg i'm obsessed with this. i have absolutely adored every single one i’ve read (even though i’m a lil behind on them rn oops but i will catch up) and can’t wait to see what else you write. your atla!au (and the newly brainstormed merlin!au) live in my head rent free and i can’t wait to read them if you write them.
@nnilkyway my fellow emo will truther <3 yvie i love you dearly. you are so incredibly talented i could scream abt ur artwork literally for days. your fanworks and your original art and your doodles are all beautiful and stunning. the day we started talking and you sent me the lil doodle you did of emo will byers i think i actually cried at how much i loved it and that it had come from our conversation about it. i saved it onto my camera roll so i can come back to it easier that's how much i love it. you are also one of the funniest people on here, your tags almost always have me rolling. i can't wait to see what beautiful art you draw in the new year.
@finalgirlbyers sierra lovqbrl madcleradin finalgirlbyers!!!! i know we haven’t talked much but i love seeing u on my dash and u always have the best takes and theories and just posts in general. i know i've said that literally multiple times to you but it cannot be overstated how correct you always are. one of my fav people to follow on here.
people i don't talk to but whose presence is a joy to have on my dash:
@astrobei an absolutely incredible writer that wrote some of my fav fics. one of the best will fics, not all the prayers, that truly is just so unbelievably amazing. like the care that you can just tell went into that fic is just incredible. Some absolutely incredible lines that will punch you right in the gut in the best way possible.
@blueeandyellowmakesgreen jade! one of the coolest people, has some of the most amazing art over on @azuries, like it's actually so amazing and people need to go look at it and reblog it now immediately
@mlchaelwheeler an absolute joy to follow. so many good posts and im fr rooting for mike with a sword in s5 just for her
@elmaxed their fics were some of the first i read in the byler fandom and i absolutely fell in love with them. they hold such a dear place in my heart. also one of the sweetest people fr, one of the first to compliment my gifs and so they are forever in my mind for that <3
@smoosnoom omg their fics!!! are!!!! incredible!!!! so many wonderful fics, i was just looking through my bookmarks and i swear half of them are theirs. the one about mike's will voice has my whole heart.
@wiseatom another lovely fic writer, and one who titles her fics with taylor swift lyrics bc she Gets It!!! also one of the sweetest people in the fandom, always seems to be supporting other people.
@kidovna one of the most talented artists in this fandom oh my GOD. i cannot praise her and her art enough idk how what else to even say besides amazing incredible talented showstopping
@byeler wrote one of my all time fav fics, Heavy Hopes, with my beloved trope, oblivious jealous mike, which is truly *chef's kiss*. such a good writer like it cannot be overstated
@ice-sculptures a truly amazing gifmaker. gifs so many little byler moments that are so precious that i've definitely missed when watching the show.
@william-byers an absolutely incredible gif maker. taylor swift and stranger things together on one blog, what more could you want?
@padme-amidala makes some of the most beautiful gifs ever oh my goodness, her gifs are part of what inspired me to start making gifs and to challenge my gifmaking. i hope to one day be as good as she is.
@robiinbuckley also makes some of the most beautiful gifs, literally in awe of her gifs. also inspired my gifmaking journey and has inspired me to challenge myself when it comes to gifmaking.

Hei!
I want to tell u that I really love all u write, the stories and ficlets and such! Ur blog is always so nice to look through! So green so much Ghost! I’m new to Tumblr so I don’t know things, but I read all the stuff from u I could. I really really enjoyed them and I hope u have so much fun writing them! I wish u a good cozy day and all!
Do u have any advice or tips on how to get around and start and all that?
thank you for the kind compliments anon ♡
as far as tips for tumblr (i think im reading that correctly), def start with following people you know from other platforms! i came from ao3 and started by following all the writers i had read so far, for example. then as people reblog others (you GOTTA reblog things on this site, its meant for sharing, not just liking ♡), i go hey! that blogs cool, i'll follow them too. meanwhile i just reblog whatever i like, you dont have to add tags but if its art/writing/etc i always like to. most often the OP sees those and it can add a little boost of serotonin to the day haha.
you could also try searching tags, playing with the filters, and looking for people to follow that way.
and dont be afraid to blog on your blog either. tumblr is def the site to ramble, post random thoughts, or w/e you want. additionally, people generally are cool with you popping in via inbox to say hi or ask questions or offer random thoughts! i would advise against generally spamming or leaving like huge long asks, it tends to get overwhelming on the other side. but popping in from time to time is encouraged, i think ♡
most important is getting your blog set up, at least with an icon, bio, and basic blog theme w/ a few reblogs. that shows people youre a real person so you wont get mistaken for a bot (dont want that, we want you to be able to see the blogs you want to follow!!)
all this being said, you can be as interactive as you want with this site and the people on it. its not a requirement to talk to people or share your creations. many people just have a blog to collect things they like ♡ its up to you!
hope this helps, sorry it took me a hot minute to answer xx

Tagged by @setsuntamew. Thanks for the tag! Long time no see!
Rules: Share the first line of ten five (I def have 10, I just think that's too many lol..) of your most recent fanfics and then tag ten people. Don't have ten? Not to worry, just share what you have.
I kinda wish ao3 has timestamp for chapters case I kept all my ficlets in a single fic... I'll just post what I think is recent enough, there aren't that many, anyway.
The first time Yuzuru saw Ibara again, alive and moving, was in a three-seconds cameo in a promo program for Sunlit Smile. [I found you - YuzuIba gen]
The day Yuzuru left, he didn't get to say goodbye. [Like how an anchor loves a ship - IbaYuzu gen]
Yuzuru was a fitful sleeper, Tori had come to discover after they moved in together in the Starmony Dorm. [Changeling - YuzuTori gen]
It rained on the day of his father's funeral, a heavy downpour. [When it rains & storms - Subaru & Mao]
"When I die, would you write an eulogy for me?" Eichi said, light as a summer breeze, over the fragrant scent of rose tea. [Eulogy - Eichi & Ritsu]
This has been an interesting exercise... I've discovered I open most of my one-shots the same way. Always a passive observation of a moment. And most of the time the opening sentence is its own paragraph.
Pretty funny compared to Killian, who tagged me. We have the opposite opening cause your openings are all pretty long and active.
Anyway... I'll be tagging... @seishun-emergency and maybe... @utaoutauhito, @stierhai, @exoscopy. And anyone else interested in doing this. I know some of you haven't been writing fics as of late but it's an interesting enough exercise if just to compare writing style.
