16, 22, and 24 for the fic writer asks please? (Also, you are so right about Kate. I know we've talked about it a little before but I just wanted to reiterate because I too hate her. I always spend the entirety of season one yelling at Neal to just let her go.)

heyyy always happy to rant about our hatred for kate with you <3 lmao. rewatching 2.11 today was like, she was so sus from the beginning? i don't know how neal overlooked all of her red flags and was still so so certain by the end that she was good and that she loved him. i just don't get it. neal baby get better standards. (like sara lol)

anyway ! 16. What were you go-to writing songs?

okay so i actually have specific playlists for almost every fic, but here are a few songs that are repeat offenders lmao. number one is going to surprise no one 1. stranger by jeff satur 2. gabriel by bears den 3. cornflower blue by flower face 4. civilized by voyager 5. first light by hozier

22. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene

this is so hard! idk if i have a favorite scene? but this one, in "a gentle warmth" is one that i really like

He pauses when he’s down to just boxers, looking in the mirror and running a hand through his hair, stiff and sticky with product and temporary hair color. The door opens, then, and Chay peeks his head into the room, and then slips inside, padding softly across the tile. There’s a crease in his cheek from his pillow, but his eyes are wide and bright, the bleariness of sleep absent. “I tried not to wake you up,” Kim says, watching him in the mirror. It’s the main reason he came to the guest bathroom to shower, but not the only one. “Hm, I was sleeping lightly,” Chay murmurs, stepping close behind Kim and pressing a kiss to his shoulder. Kim’s not surprised. They both sleep lightly, more often than not, and Kim’s not sure when the last time either of them had to sleep through the night alone was. Chay has more late nights than Kim, lately, anyway. “You smell like cigarettes,” Chay says accusingly, pulling back slightly, hand lingering on Kim’s waist. Kim meets his gaze, momentarily, in the reflection in front of them, and feels his own irritation falter when he finds worry there instead of anger. “Sorry,” he says quietly. Chay just shakes his head, and brings a hand up to Kim’s hair. “I’ll help you wash this out, Phi, come on,” he says, nudging Kim toward the shower and stripping out of his sleep clothes. Part of Kim wants to just tell him to go back to bed, but Chay doesn’t really look like he’ll take no for an answer, so he just pulls off his underwear and steps under the spray, Chay close behind. He’s not going to pretend that it’s not nice to have Chay’s hands on him, gentle as they lather shampoo into his hair, fingers combing the sticky tangles loose. He watches the milky blue of the hair color run in rivulets down his body and onto the shower floor, collecting in the shallow divot around the drain. He closes his eyes and focuses on Chay’s hands.

this whole scene just means a lot to me, because it's very domestic and tender even tho its not happy. idk lol.

24. What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

I answered this already but even that answer im not sure about haha i feel like im not often surprised while writing? or maybe im not really understanding the question TT my fics are always adapting and developing as i write them tho

anyway thank you again for the ask! ended up being a bit of a long response lol
