The blood sharing—the pre-sex screaming match and stefan finally giving in to what he wants and fucking kissing her. COME ON!

ELENA GIVING STEFAN HEAD YEA I LOST MY FUCKING SHITT.

Thank fuck you never implied that of DE cause, he simply doesn’t deserve it. Stef on the other hand? shit yeah.

Elena finally getting her pu$$y ate right after all that disappointment is all I’ve ever wanted out of a fanfiction.

The repeating always got me so.fucking.bad i actually screamed.

The aftermath of it..the implications that that has. the feelings !!! the angst !!! the follow up of them both ever having to face damon, the inevitable get-back-together-and-hopefully-make-up-for-lost-time-and-rechristen-the-entire-house.

The way i can just head canon multiple one shot sex fics post part 3..you’ve created me the perfect universe.

OH! Oh and the fucking part where Stefan finds out about the shirt. the fucking stares. MY GOOD GOODDDDDDDD

The Library 2.0 going down in history.

(PS: if you’re not going to write it, can you give me a head canon of what happens, post this?)

i think i would make what happens next a little different from my usual fics, like even the shouting match is a little different with stefan just being like yeah i know you never stopped loving me and i had to watch you be with someone else anyway and usually, with the kiss, elena is a bit more of the assertive one whereas here, she was like i would've wanted you to do what you wanted to do, what did you want to do and stefan just does it in real time so i think when stefan and damon confront each other it would be in that theme, where stefan is just saying what he wants to say and like i've said in the past, i like writing damon as knowing but lying to himself, so he's not exactly surprised, he just didn't think elena would have the guts to actually cheat on him, haha and then damon would leave and elena does what i've said elena would've actually been doing when she and damon have a fight, which is call everyone and have them on high alert and find jeremy so they're around each other and she can have actual eyes on him and then when that storm has passed-ish, give stelena a scene to communicate and talk and have another sex scene (ofc) and maybe go in to what stefan had been thinking about the week after the shower, give basically a sex scene version of this

and i'd probably give them a sex scene flashback for 2x15, like can you imagine the angst after this?

like they make their plot plans and stefan is just very, very quiet and Elena is like are you OK? and then it escalates to like i-was-so-scared-i-can’t-lose-you sex? Which would be mirrored in 1x20 flashback where Damon is ALSO in the house, but after this

it was like you-were-going-to-leave-me-and-i-hate-you-for-that-because-i-was-so-fucking-scared sex? come on.

Season 2: The Rankings

Whew. Oh boy.

They were still puttering about in season 1 to an extent. But now? Now they’ve really hit their stride. This season was a veritable chocolate box of delights and I ate my way through it. The overall myth arc was kind of nonsensical, but that emotional throughline? Christ. Spn buries SO MUCH emotional complexity into its leads, and they cashed in every cent in that two part finale. It packs one hell of a punch. And yeah, okay, I knew the broad strokes, the twists and turns. It’s hard not to be spoilered for a season of tv that aired over a decade ago. But reader! It mattered not!! I. Still. Wept. That’s when you know it’s the good kush. 1.) 2x12: NIGHTSHIFTER. This one just snagged the top spot by merit of its sheer ambition. Supernatural often feels like a very empty universe to me, just two guys and one car drifting from place to place. Which is fine, it makes for compelling TV, but they totally flipped the script here and this episode really dazzles precisely because of that contrast. It’s a huge, cinematic episode, a metropolitan setting full of uncontrollable elements, and it’s great to see Sam and Dean so profoundly vulnerable. The outside world is pressing up against the windows. They have sniper dots trained on them! They are, literally and figuratively, out of their depth! We’re not in Kansas any more, baby. God, I haven’t even mentioned the supporting characters. The entire mandroid rant deserves an Emmy. Victor Henrickson’s entrance! Heist movie antics! Agh! 10/10

2.) 2x07: THE USUAL SUSPECTS. Again this episode was a cut above precisely because it showed us what the brothers look like from the outside: sketchy as all hell. It’s so good when reality ensures, because it’s great to be reminded they lead objectively insane lives! Through Linda Blair’s eyes we get to see just how unknowable, feral and amoral they appear to the eyes of polite society. Put under a microscope like this, they’re scary guys! They’re just not socialised like normal people. They don’t really care about being arrested, or about the felonies. Getting arrested is an irritant above everything else. They’re still working the case from the inside. They’re professionals; excellent liars, and totally in sync with each other. The handwritten notes they pass, like delinquent school kids! A delight! The thrill lies in watching Blair slowly unwrap their strange logic, and unravel the mystery of both the brothers and the ghost. Ugh, what a great perspective shift. I’m 100% here for it. 10/10

3.) 2x09: CROATOAN. Ugh, this setting. Small Town Gothic, complete with eerie mist, hostile locals and creepy Stepford vibes. Sam really shone in this episode. He’s so soothing and giant, and it made his suffering at the end all the more devastaing. The real reason this episode ranks so highly is their conversation in the surgery. It just killed me. Dean’s sheer, bone-deep exhaustion, his admission that he’s tired of the life. Sam’s despair, because he knows Dean won’t leave. The performances were so steller. I can’t even really think too deeply about it because it makes me too crazy. 10/10

4.) 2x21: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE: PART ONE. I loved this finale so much more than the finale in Season 1, LOL. It might just be because I’m more invested now, who knows. The opening of this episode is a piece of art: Boston playing on the car stereo, the rain, the small cafe, the lighting. Gorgeous. I love when they have to interact with ordinary people! It adds so much: texture, humour, personality! It draws things out of Sam and Dean that we just don’t see when they have each other to bounce off of. It was so good to see Ava and Andy again. “I just woke up in freakin’ Frontierland!” The gang’s all here, folks! This episode would rank higher, but recieves minus points for the long boring speech the demon gives Sam, and killing off the first gay in the show 0.2 seconds after her introduction. Anyway. The ending of course unzipped me; Dean cradling Sam’s dead body, muttering “It’s okay, it’s not even that bad.” The elation of their reunion, so devastaingly cut short! Sam, twenty two years old, bleeding out in the mud. The sheer, hopelessness of it all. The horror. My notes for the end of the episode simply read: “Dean oh Christ. Oh my God. Oh no.” It’s just one of those scenes that stay with you long after the credits start rolling. 9/10

5.) 2x20: WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE. I never thought I could be so profoundly upset by watching a man happily mowing a lawn. Dean’s trauma over the loss of his mother has undercut the whole show up until this point, and here it bursts to the fore. What really got me was the simplicity of it all. Just a sit-down dinner, an engagement. A beer on the porch. Fuck, he deserves it. He deserves everything. All the performances were great, they really served to show there’s a whole life in these AU characters. The fact it wasn’t all perfect was bizarrely more devastating. AU Sam’s weird straight hair and dorky jacket sealed the deal for me, as did his baffled terror in the warehouse. But even here, with no training and no idea what’s happening, he gets into the Impala! Because that’s his brother! Because I’m a huge baby I had to remove points because of how upsetting I found Sam’s quiet hostility towards Dean, HA. But that’s really just a testament to how well-realised their dynamic has become by the second season. 9/10

6.) 2x15: TALL TALES. Every single thing Sam does in any of Dean’s memories. Also alien slowdance set to “Lady in Red.” Also Bobby breaking them up like they’re petulant children. Gold, all of it gold. 9/10

7.) 2x11: PLAYTHINGS. So I’m a slut for a cool setting, obviously. Turns out, Supernatural did The Haunting of Bly Manor fifteen years ago. The swimming pool! The attic! Creepy dolls! The weird little playground! This episode has it all! I loved the saga between the ghost sister and the old lady, which would honestly make a killer movie in its own right. But I’m digressing. The main star of this episode was, of course, Dean’s profound and escalating sexual insecurities. “Well, you are kinda butch. People probably think you’re overcompensating.” FATALITY. I would’ve placed this one higher but the weird incestuous undertones kinda squicked me out... however, I did think we were meant to be creeped out by it, which is more than I can say for some other uh. Instances. It was, after all, beautifully paralelled at the end with the two sisters reuniting in death. “I can’t leave here, and you can’t leave me.” SHUDDER. Also, honestly, can Sam have one (1) breakdown on his own without Dean’s own emotional baggage taking over? Older siblings, smh. 9/10

8.) 2x22: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE: PART TWO. This one ranks lower than part one purely because I thought the yellow-eyed demon’s overall plot was kinda nonsensical, and I cared not for John’s weird deux ex machina moment. Like do you expect me to feel sorry for that bitch? I don’t! Anyway, that being said, let’s move on to Dean’s eyes in the junkyard when Bobby asks him, “do you have that low an opinion of yourself?” They’re so flat. So dead, like a shark’s. He doesn’t need to say anything back, because it’s all over his face. That non-expression says it all. This is the culmination of the emotional arc that began with his savage beatdown of the Impala in episode 2x02. To call it survivor’s guilt wouldn’t even begin to cover what Dean goes through this episode. It’s all in Ackles’ performance; in the the way he yells, “What am I supposed to do now, Sammy?” The complete claustrophobia of it all. There’s nothing for it but to make the deal. Dean’s been moving inexorably towards this moment for the entire season. 9/10

9.) 2x13: HOUSES OF THE HOLY. What a kooky little episode! Magic fingers! Sam’s costcutter seance purchases! The scooby-doo placemat he uses as a makeshift altar! I love him, your honour. Obviously this episode has a lot of *~dramatic irony~* in it because of the later seasons, but it stands alone as a total banger. I was so gutted for Sam when the "angel” was revealed. So many good little Sam moments to be found in this episode. His soft, quiet little revelation that he prays every day. His awkward, earnest explanation to the horrified priest! Dean gets some great moments chasing down the would-be rapist down those dark, snow-covered streets. His speech to Sam where he explains his lack of belief is brief, but it’s a total gut punch. Rounding it off with Knockin on Heaven’s Door was just the cherry on top. 9/10

10.) 2x14: BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN. Ahaha I love the way Dean acts whenever Sam’s psychic powers come up. He treats him like a rebellious teen, it’s so funny. “What’s going on with you, Sam? Smokin’, drinkin’?” As if Sam’s behaviour was a) at all under his control or b) anything Dean wouldn’t HIMSELF do. Dean’s just like, this isn’t how I raised you! Truly hysterical. The whole sequence between Meg!Sam and Jo was fantastic and horrible. Sam’s huge physique is never threatening, but it really was in that moment. The interplay between them was totally spine-tingling. Meg’s impression Sam slowly crumbling away over the course of the episode was so compelling and I’m sure it will be a really fun rewatch now I know the *twist*. 9/10

Favourite lines this season:

The way Sam says “black cat’s bone” in 2x08

“You’re not gonna go kill somebody because a ghost told you to, are you insane?!” - Dean, 2x13

“Dean, this is a very serious investigation, we don’t have time for your blah blah blah blah.” - Sam (according to Dean), 2x15

“I’m fine, except for every single thing that’s happening.” - Ava, 2x21

#I feel like I'm exposing myself as a sam girl here #I love them equally I swear #supernatural #there's so much i left out like my comprehensive love for JO #what does she have? A KNIFE #I just didn't really dig NO EXIT as an episode sadly #spnwatch

It’s 12:15pm.

I’m in Chicago.

I’m drinking cold brew with almond milk from the fridge.

Not great sleep last night, woke up with a nightmare at 5am, finished up my next few hours of sleep on the sofa. Did not want to sign into my phone today, but that’s not exactly new.

Bad episode last night -- body dysmorphia sucks. Also, never wearing shorts again.

I did get up this morning, despite not wanting to. I brushed my teeth. I ate breakfast. I had coffee. I took my meds. I ordered some poster tac so I can finally start decorating my office. I plugged in my Batman lamp.

Things I’m worried about: making sure I stay in contact with people and that my friends are still my friends.

Things I feel positive about today: the weekend is a few hours away. watching the good episodes of New Girl (everything before 2x15). We’re getting a dining room table tomorrow. I have zine stuff coming in the mail today. My only homework is to make a meme on this week’s readings. I might do a viewing party in Kosmi later. Anyone want to watch stuff with me?

Does Dean Hide Food For Emergencies?

Watched this episode (s13e19 “Funeralla”) last night and the bit about the burger caught my attention. It seems somewhat out of character for Dean to leave trash lying around in his room (at least it was in the Carver era, when Dean got mad at Sam for throwing trash on the floor during his bunker “nesting” phase).

So is this only a joke, which retcons Dean’s previous interest in keeping his room orderly and clean, and where he humorously and ineptly attempts to defend his uncleanliness... or is Dean being completely serious when he says he’s kept an unrefrigerated burger in his room for three days in case of an emergency? My brain got rambling about the possibilities, given Dean’s interesting relationship with food.

Dean loves food, openly and unabashedly, in a way that occasionally makes people around him uncomfortable (especially Sam). He’s stolen food before, and he usually consumes food very quickly and in large bites. He tends to care very little about the nutritional value of the food he eats (”If bacon kills me, then I win”, “Yeah I’m watching my cholesterol... watching it go up”). Dean tends to forget his table manners (chewing with his mouth open, stuffing his cheeks very full, letting food fall out of his mouth and onto his clothes/face/the ground) and he can sometimes be observed consuming food when it isn’t socially appropriate, either unaware, or perhaps just unwilling to contain his urge to eat what’s available. For example, in season 3 “Red Sky at Morning”, even as he’s pretending to be a worried husband whose wife has just fainted, he can’t stop himself from snapping up an hors d'oeuvre from the plate of the attendant who comes to check on him and Bella. In another episode, he couldn’t contain himself from sneaking the icing from the edge of a birthday cake at a police station. In season 9 “The Purge,” he also ate several containers of pudding reserved for clients, even though he was undercover and risked being “fired” from his job for it.

Dean also almost never turns down food offered to him (though Sam will often turn it down “for” him). Times when Dean doesn’t accept food or doesn’t have much of an appetite tend to alarm his brother and usually indicate Dean is going through a hard time. For example, in s05e14, Famine notes that Dean isn’t consuming anything (including food) and says it’s because he’s dead inside. In s08e01, after coming back from Purgatory, Dean is shown struggling to convince himself to eat until Sam actually orders something for him. In the beginning of s12e05 he’s upset about Mary’s absence and rejects the pie that Sam brings him to cheer him up.

This also isn’t the first time Dean has been associated with outdated food which he doesn’t throw out. For example in season 12, we get this humorous gem:

He knows it’s bad, but he doesn’t take the two seconds necessary to toss the burger in the trash?

And in season 11* there’s this one (he smells it and still eats it... or does it just disagree with him because he’s hungover?):

Of course, it’s possible both these moments are just Jensen Ackles doing some funny improv, as he often does, or that they are in the script but have no deeper meaning beyond comedy.

Edit: Found another example in 2x15: Sam complains about the food Dean is keeping in the fridge:

We know that Sam and Dean probably didn’t have particularly varied nutrition growing up. In season 10 “About A Boy”, Dean recounts how he invented about 101 variations on mac n’ cheese to make it more palatable for a young Sam. In season 1 “Something Wicked”, Sam complains that he is “Sick of Spaghetti-O’s”. We also know that there were occasions where John wasn’t home when he said he would be (Sam references several times John went missing on a hunt as he and Dean walk down the stairs out of his apartment in the Pilot, and John is overdue to arrive in “A Very Supernatural Christmas” and “After School Special”). I don’t think it’s particularly unlikely that the budget got tight at times growing up, and there isn’t a doubt in my mind that if it came between feeding himself and feeding Sam, Dean would always choose Sam.

Hoarding or hiding food (which is essentially what Dean is saying he was doing) isn’t an uncommon problem in people who grew up with inconsistent access to food. If you don’t know where your next meal will come from, you will learn to store food away for emergencies when you have access to it. Is it possible that this is what Dean’s doing, maybe as a stress reaction from their Mom and Jack being missing in the apocalypse world? Or is it just a joke? It certainly can’t be confirmed, but I think it’s possible that Dean might store/hide food when he is stressed.

2x15: Tall Tales

Then:

The biggest prank Sam Winchester ever pulled was rocking those bangs, amirite?

Now:

On a dark and wintery evening, a college professor, walking to his office, *notices* (gross dude) a female student and asks if she needs any help. She wants to meet with him now and after a brief hesitation, he eyes her up again and invites her into the building. Once upstairs, the young woman confesses she’s not one of his students. “Really? Then why are you here?” His face falls almost immediately, and she just stares and then insists on leaving. He’s “somewhat of a celebrity” but rebuffs her advances (but pulls her closer, fondles her hair, and kisses her.)

When he pulls away, the woman’s face has transformed and the man recoils in horror.

Downstairs, the janitor is just locking up for the night. As he walks away from the building, the professor falls from the building, landing with a splat on the ground.

A week later, Sam and Dean are staying at one of their more shady hotels from the early years. Sam is busy reading while Dean eats greasy food on Sam’s bed and listening to music. The brothers are at each other's’ throats. Sam’s pissed about his computer and Dean’s pissed about his car. Bobby arrives to break up the happy party. It seems they’re stumped about the case of the suicidal professor.

In a flashback, Sam and Dean pose as reporters to get the lowdown on the possible haunted university building. (Lol, the professor was an Ethics and Morality professor.) Sam learns that the urban legend says a spurned lover from 30 years ago haunts the place and anyone who sees her doesn’t live to tell the tale. Dean drinks Purple Nurples. Dean is also attempting to reel in a “feisty little wildcat”, Starla. Starla meets Sam and then vomits in her mouth. Lovely. Dean is excited. Sam is UNIMPRESSED.

Back in Present Day, Dean denies this story completely. Well, not the Purple Nurples. And Not-Starla “was a classy chic.”

In Dean’s flashback, he tells his version of the story. Not-Starla is a grad student, and between purple shots, Dean and Not-Starla discuss local ghost stories. Dean thinks himself such a sauve son of a bitch. “My god, you are attractive.” Not-Starla is speaking for the world. Dean tries to stay on task, but Not-Starla is mesmerized, and they soon start kissing.

A high-key annoyed (and annoying) Sam interrupts them. Dean ignores him.

Present Day Sam denies all of it. Bobby wants to know what’s really going on.

Sam’s flashback reveals they visit the professor’s office. The janitor lets them take a look around. And he reveals that he’s the one that found him. Dean stuffs his face with candy (“C’mon, I ate one, maybe two.”)

The janitor also mentions seeing a young woman enter with the professor, but never leave. Back at the hotel, the boys break down all the false leads -no EMF, no sixth floor. Dean suggests researching the history of the building. Sam instantly opens his laptop and finds it frozen on Busty Asian Beauties. Dean slinks away.

In Present Day, Sam says that there’s no information on a suicidal coed. The story gets weird though. They flashback to Curtis, one of the students Sam interviewed at the bar, is walking alone at night and appears to be abducted by aliens. In the present day, Bobby is dubious.

Bobby: Aliens?

Sam: Yeah

Bobby: Aliens!?

Dean: Yeah

Sam and Dean know it’s not real, but talk to him all the same. Curtis is reluctant, but off the record, he recounts what he can remember from his abduction. There were tests, probing, and slow dances to Lady in Red.

Dean’s face was a mess of emotion during this story. Bobby thinks the kid is nuts, but Sam and Dean think otherwise after finding a saucer shaped disc on the campus lawn.

They keep digging and interview more students. Sam gets super emotional trying to help a student. (He does not.)

The student thinks Curtis deserves what he got for being a hard pledgemaster.

Back at the hotel room, Dean concludes that the connection between the two victims is that they’re both dicks. While Dean’s expounding on his theory, Sam checks the room for his laptop. When he can’t find it, he goes off on a rant about all of Dean’s worst habits and...vaguely threatens the Impala (in the way of siblings). Poor Bobby, meanwhile, is stuck parenting these two yahoos. Bobby coaxes the rest of the story from them with eye rolls miraculously held in check.

The last victim was a scientist who tried reaching for a gold watch in the sewer drain, only to have his arm chewed off by something snarly. When Sam and Dean broke into the morgue to check out the guy’s body, they discovered just sparse grisly remains to examine. Gross. Sam discovers a belly scale stuck in the man’s flesh...a belly scale from an alligator. (My headcanon is that Sam used to watch nature shows while Dean and their dad went on hunts, which is how he knows what a friggin’ gator belly scale looks like.)

Dean checks out the sewer ready to hunt some gators, and when he comes up empty, he heads back topside. Only once he gets back on the street and heads back to Baby, he finds all his tires are flat and there’s a money clip with S.W engraved on it on the ground. Dean grabs the money and heads into the hotel room full steam ahead. He confronts Sam about letting all the air out of his tires, waving Sam’s money clip around. Sam’s shocked, denies the accusations, and demands his money back. This devolves into juvenile wrestling over the money clip and...we’ve looped back to the beginning of the episode.

“Okay, I’ve heard enough,” Bobby says. He scolds both Sam and Dean and informs them that they’ve been hoodwinked by ...a trickster!

“That’s what I thought,” Dean says. Dean. Bean.

Bobby tells them that tricksters make trouble as easy as breathing and it’s been turning the two brothers against each other to put them off of their scent. “Tricksters target the high and the mighty, knock them down a peg, usually with a sense of humor.” (And a good side of DEAD.) Sam and Dean think about all the commonalities between their three cases and then remember the janitor…

Cut to the janitor’s apartment. He’s got a cute pup. Good music. An actual over-the-top buffet of sweets and then… “Something’s missing,” the trickster muses just before he conjures two women to share the bounty of desserts.

The next day Sam and Dean head up into a university building with the janitor aka trickster on a flimsy pretext. Sam splits away and investigates the janitor’s locker. He finds an issue of the Weekly World News in there. A little while later Sam and Dean argue over needing more proof than just a tabloid while the trickster smirks from a window above them. Sam implores Dean to wait until he gets back to fight the trickster.

Dean waits until nightfall and then says “Screw this,” and heads inside to take out his target. He pulls out a giant stake and then hears music. Dean opens the door to see a theater and on the stage, two scantily clad women recline on a lavish red bed. A disco ball whirls overhead. “This isn’t real,” he tells them, but they assure him that it’ll feel real. WINK WINK.

Dean is tempted. MAN, is he tempted. But he’s gotta keep his eyes on the prize. He turns around to find the trickster sitting in the audience seating. The trickster tells him that he can have the women and the deluxe orgy setting while the trickster skips town. Dean tells him that he likes his style, but he’s gonna have to pass.

MUAHAHAHA, the trickster essentially says. “You shouldn’t have come alone.”

Dean agrees. Enter Sam AND Bobby - both armed with trickster-killing stakes. The fight that Sam and Dean staged was just a diversion. “Wanna see a real trick?” the trickster asks. He conjures two chainsaw psychos and supercharges the women, whaling on all three of our guys.

Dean stabs the trickster and then the women and chainsaw killers disappear. The Winchesters and Bobby race out of the building and hop into the car, eager to leave the body behind. Sam and Dean share hasty apologies over the hood of the car. (Bobby: D’aaaaww.) The Impala drives away with a rumble…

Back in the theater, someone saunters up to the trickster’s body. As we watch, the stabbed body disappears and the camera pans up to reveal the trickster - alive and well!

The Quotester:

If no one lives to tell the tale, then how does the tale get told?

I don’t know man, I think they’re called Purple Nurples

Sorry, I just can't even concentrate. It's like staring into the sun.

Dean, this is a very serious investigation. We don’t have time for any of your blah blah blah.

He got more ass than a toilet seat.

You gotta give those purple nurples a shot.

I’m here for you, you brave little soldier. I acknowledge your pain.

These punishments...they're almost poetic. Actually, it'd be more like a limerick, but still…

Just your typical haunted campus, alien abduction, alligator-in-the-sewer gig.

If you two bothered to pull your heads outta your asses, it all would have been pretty clear.

Annual Writing Self-Evaluation

*All answers should be about works published in 2017.

1. List of works published this year:

NON-SHADOWHUNTERS

Celestial Bodies (Yuri!!! on Ice, a WIP from Yurio’s POV trying to illustrate a headcanon I had about Yurio, ended up on indefinite hold because the new SH season began and ate my brain.)

SHADOWHUNTERS (TV)

Episode-based speculations, missing scenes, codas, and fix-its:

Of Laughter and Lima Beams, 2x07 missing scene attempt #1

No Half Measures, 2x08 coda

Breathing Room, 2x09 extra scene

Life Support, 2x10 missing scene/coda

Things We Think We Know, 2x07 missing scene attempt #2 and possibly the point at which I truly accepted I couldn’t smut anymore

No Stay of Execution, 2x12 what-if/coda that went to an unhappy place

One Memory, pre-2x15 what-if/speculation

In the Glow of a New Day, pre-2x18 speculation on Magnus’s greatest fear (or his unwillingness to go there) based on the sneak peek.

Midnight Oil, 2x18 coda

AUs

Alicante Hall, college AU written for the Malec Secret Santa exchange

Magic and Mass Effect, just what it says on the tin, Mass Effect 3 crossover on indefinite hold because the One Easy Answer universe ate my brain

One Easy Answer, marriage-of-convenience AU. Canon-divergent beginning at 1x12, offering a look at what season 2a might have been if Magnus hadn’t interrupted Alec’s wedding (but Alec called it off on his own) and thus the events of season 2a weren’t influenced by Alec and Magnus’s developing relationship. When they come together post 2x10/2x13 they enter into their politically motivated marriage to try to prevent war between the Downworld and the Clave.

A Separate Peace, sequel to One Easy Answer that got way more canon-divergent, focusing on giving the characters far more agency and filling a lot of plot holes. Covers the events of season 2b from the premise that Alec and Magnus have gotten married and are trying to unite the Shadow World, but pressure on multiple sides may destroy what they’re trying to build.

2. Work you are most proud of (and why): Definitely A Separate Peace. First because it’s the first actual novel I’ve written in, like, three years, and also because it’s the most tightly-plotted piece of work I’ve ever done, and that includes my professional published novels. It just came together so well and while it might not be the greatest craft-wise because I’m out of practice (so. many. dialogue. tags) it was really a truly excellent piece of storytelling, IMO.

3. Work you are least proud of (and why): Probably one or both of my 2x07 missing scene fics. I’ve been an erotic romance author in both fandom and professionally for 20 years, so the discovery that I just can’t (and don’t want to) write smut anymore is a really hard pill to swallow.

4. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

“Yeah, but he wasn’t entirely lying,” Jace said with a shrug. “Clary and I do share the same blood, in a way. And those first few weeks, it’s like we needed to be close to each other, to, I don’t know, figure out the abilities the angel blood gave us. And once we’d done the work we had to do, we didn’t need to be with each other like that anymore. So maybe that’s why we felt that pull toward each other, and we just didn’t know what other context to put it in, you know?”

“I really don’t,” Alec said, shaking his head.

“Look, I love Clary. I do. I’m gonna love her the rest of my life. I just apparently don’t want to…be with her like that.” Jace shuddered. “To be honest, after the first few weeks, it sort of started making my skin crawl. And she says she feels the same.”

“Wait. Wait.” Despite his best efforts, the first snicker slipped through Alec’s nose. He covered his mouth to try to hold back a bark of laughter, but it wouldn’t be contained. The rest followed, pouring out of him in a torrent of amusement while Jace looked on in disgust.

“What the hell? Are you drunk?”

Alec flapped a hand at him. “No! Wait wait wait!” Alec gasped, clutching at his sides as he slid down the wall, fighting for breath. “Are you—are you—telling me—”

He couldn’t even manage the words. His ass hit the hard, dirty concrete of the sidewalk and he pressed his face to his knees, shoulders jerking convulsively.

“—After all you two have been through—” He snorted and that just made him laugh harder, his head spinning with oxygen deprivation. Finally, he managed to wheeze, “—That it’s like kissing your sister?”

That set him off again, the peals of his laughter echoing off the walls of the nearby alley. If a demon came along now, he was a dead man, because he couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t speak. His stomach was starting to hurt and he still couldn’t stop.

Jace gave him a withering glare. “I hate you,” he muttered, and stalked away with Alec’s howling laughter chasing him.

A Separate Peace, Chapter 8

(Okay, look, I’ve ALWAYS struggled with writing comedy, so this was a major achievement for me. Also Jace/Maia is way more awesome than Clace so I was pleased to have found a way to walk Clace back and make way for different ships for Clary and Jace.)

5. Share or describe a favorite comment you received: I love all the people who leave me feedback, especially the ones who leave feedback with each and every chapter, but I really have to say, @lyannastarkweather was my MVP for A Separate Peace. Every single chapter she just left these beautiful, long, thoughtful comments and they were such a joy to read.

6. A time when writing was really, really hard: Did I mention the fact that I can’t smut anymore? So pretty much any sex scene or almost sex scene in my fics was like pulling teeth. I ended up fading to black a lot.

(Also, pretty much everything that happens from Chapter 13 to the end of A Separate Peace made me cry. A LOT.)

7. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: Maryse Lightwood. I haven’t written much from her POV, only Midnight Oil, but her development in A Separate Peace was a joy to delve into.

8. How did you grow as a writer this year: I wrote both heavily plot-driven stuff and comedy, which are two things I’ve very much struggled with. Usually my books and fics have been more about character exploration, so that was really an accomplishment for me.

9. How do you hope to grow next year: I hope to keep improving on those fronts, and also to find more of a balance between character exploration and plot movement, because I feel like I went a little too far in the plot direction in A Separate Peace.

10. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): @roseglass was a champ for beta’ing basically a novel and a half worth of fic that I sort of volunteered her for. The conversation went something like this:

Me: I’m thinking of writing a marriage-of-convenience AU Her: I think that’s a fine idea Me: Okay, I’m doing it and it’s all your fault for encouraging me therefore you have to beta it

I’m lucky she didn’t tell me to take a flying leap, tbh. Of course, after 30 years of friendship “a flying leap” would probably involve a lot more f-words and more anatomical specificity.

@faejilly @janoda @actuallyredorchid @ladymatt @blj2007 and @lyannastarkweather @nancyloumm @s-erendipitiness @champagnemagnus @nanf1c @ketzwrites @beatperfume @nanichick5 @247malec @sharona1x2 @rayofsunshinemaiaroberts @lecrit @irina-something @blav527 @uniqxfuera @a-rosewood-by-any-other-name @michellemisfit @rutherinahobbit @djchika @immortal-husbands @bane-of-brooklyn @accal1a @ohfreckle

were all tremendously friendly, supportive, responsive, inspirational, are people i want to get to know better, and/or are just positive people at a time when I needed positivity in my life. (forgive me if I’ve overlooked anyone; i know there are others I’ve had meaningful interractions with this year, I’m just not remembering everyone.)

11. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: well, Mouse in One Easy Answer/A Separate Peace looks like my cat (who also looks like Alberto’s cat Stella.)

12. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: it’s okay to step back, take some time, and come at it again later when you need to.

13. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I really cannot wait to delve into the sequel to A Separate Peace. There’s something gonna happen in there that’s gonna make a lot of people happy.

Tag writers whose answers you’d like to read. If I’ve already tagged you, consider yourself tagged here. Hell, if I didn’t already tag you, consider yourself tagged here.

Hi there, love your blog! was wondering if you could help me find a scene that I'm only half-convinced I'm remembering correctly, basically I have a vague memory of Lilah walkin on a rooftop all smug and dramatic, possibly while watching Angel fight. No worries if nothing comes to mind it's just been driving me crazy lol, thanks

hi! thanks! i love that you and everyone following love the blog cause it makes me love running it 😊

okay so fair warning i'm a bigger fan of btvs so i've seen it and know it far better than ats and i haven't even rewatched ats fully in awhile (currently doing the world's slowest rewatch for like a year or two and only on mid s2).

but immediately my brain was like s4! and i think if this isn't a made up memory/dream you have then it's most likely to have happened between s2-4.

but she is also in s1 so that's still a possibility and she's only in 36 episodes, so i could do some sifting through those episodes when i have some time later but for now i figured i would list all the episodes she's in if anyone else wanted to do that.

but also maybe one of the 200+ followers who might all know the show better than i do or at least have seen it more recently, might know exactly what scene you're talking about.

TL;DR: which episode possibly features Lilah walking on a rooftop looking smug and dramatic while possibly watching Angel fight? (sidenote: i just had a memory of i think Lilah and Gavin watching Angel fight from afar... so if i'm right that would narrow it down to episodes with both Lilah AND Gavin.)

episodes with Lilah and Gavin listed under the cut

EDIT: it was 4x04

Lilah Episodes (with Gavin):

3x02 (maybe this episode i wanna say)

3x08

3x09

god I just don't want them to release cl scripts... i mean, i know she's dead and the ship is dead too and stuff but you know the fandom. they'll continue with the ridiculous excuse 'haha at least l ate clarkes pussy' (i hate writing this ugh). unless writers release the ones when they were enemies so they can shut the fuck up with the 'clarke was afraid of him, blarke is so toxic' argument bc it's so ridiculous? they at least had a (beautiful) development, cl was straigh up enemies to lovers

what i wouldn't fucking give to see the scripts from 2x15 when L betrayed them. my gawd...

🍳 Headcanons

Childhood:

Ian sees his birth mother get shot in front of him; as she fell forward the 1 Rand coin dropped from her pocket, he picked it up and pocketed it before the men could notice. Due to his birth mother being killed in front of him, he has feel a need, an urge to have a mother or mother-figure in his life.

Roman’s rabbit at the orphanage was a white rabbit, which he named Floyd. Alice was the only who knew he named his rabbit.

When Ian found out he was going to be formally adopted by Ellen Briggs, on his first flight to America he cried himself to sleep out of relief and joy. He finally had a mother and he was going somewhere safe.

Icecream. TBA*

Roman’s favourite sweet is white chocolate. He found loads of it in a cupboard one time as a child in an unattended store cupboard in the orphanage and ate so much, he felt sick.**

Adulthood:

Roman has a male black rabbit called Bobby. He picked the rabbit up from rescue as a kit, once he was old enough to be taken from his mother. Roman picked him up four days before Remi flew out to Afghanistan.

As an adult, Roman always keeps some white chocolate in a coolbox and takes it with him, whether travelling by car, motorbike or other mode of transport.**

Roman also likes strawberries, fudge and treacle toffee. Remi gives Roman treacle toffee if he is annoying her, to shut up him on purpose.

Post-ORION:

TBA*

Remi, Back from the Dead:

Usually if Remi becomes ill she wouldn’t let the illness stand in her way however once she is too ill to function and has to stay in bed. As stubborn and resilient she is, Remi attempts to resist when Roman and Shepherd tell her they are going to carry on planning minor details whilst she rests up. Remi is frustrated and annoyed but can’t walk the length of her bedroom without being overcome with nausea. Oscar is on “chicken soup” duty. If he’s not with the Viper Kings, Roman spends every spare moment checking on Remi, even though she insists she’s fine - much to Oscar’s annoyance. Roman brings her cups of tea, and asks her how she is and lets her know if he and Shepherd have made any progress/changes to the plan. One night, Remi had been particularly bad so Roman stayed with her for most of the night. Shepherd found him the next morning, fast asleep in the chair besides Remi’s bed.**

Forming the Plan:

In the mornings Roman makes himself, Remi and Shepherd cups of tea or coffee so they have something hot to perk them up as the three of them go over plans for their next move (the tattoos) with Remi infiltraiting the FBI as a Jane Doe. It is something he likes doing, often roping Oscar in to make the family breakfast. It’s actually one of the rare occasions that Shepherd, Remi and Roman could be called a “normal” family. Shepherd sits in a chair with a hot cup of tea on the side of her desk, still sleepy from having just woken up so she’s a little bit quiet. She and Roman share a smile talking over blueprints and plans, while Remi is jotting down points they may have missed taking a drink of her tea, as does Roman.**

Tattoo Designs:

Training Remi:

TBA*

Kat and the Viper Kings:

2x01, In Night So Ransomed Rogue:

2x02, Heavy Fiery Knot:

2x10, Nor I Nigel, AKA Leg in Iron:

TBA*

2x11, Droll Autumn, Unmutual Lord:

TBA*

2x12, Devil Never Even Lived:

TBA*

2x13, Name Not One Man:

TBA*

2x14, Borrow Or Rob:

TBA*

2x15, Draw O Caesar, Erase a Coward:

TBA*

2x16, Evil Did I Dwell Lewd I Did Live:

TBA*

2x17, Solos:

TBA*

2x18, Senile Lines:

TBA*

2x19, Regard a Mere Mad Rager:

TBA*

2x20, In Words, Drown I:

TBA*

2x21, Mom:

Even though Roman said he hated Jane because she ZIP’d him, still loves her with all his heart. He just feels betrayed that he was lied to by the one person he thought he could trust. Roman may forgive Jane one day; but it is going to take a lot to rebuild trust between the siblings.

Roman sides with Shepherd during the assault on the New York Office because he wanted to get out of the cell he had been kept in since Jane “brought him in”. He is still brooding over the fact Jane wiped his memories. His aim misses Jane and Kurt on purpose, to warn them to get out of the way or be killed by other Sandstorm members.

2x22, Lepers Repel:

TBA*

*To be written. This will be updated as I see fit. **Written in collaboration with @in-night-so-ransomed-rogue
