There For His Girl | Steve Rogers x Reader One Short
Summary: Y/n has reached her limit. Work has been difficult. People have been short, and some just mean. It all brings her back to her childhood, and right now, she just wants to pretend to be ok. So determined to pretend she tries to push her concerned husband away.
WARNINGS ⚠️ This contains mentions of a toxic relationship with the reader's mother and quotes some of their arguments. If this is a trigger for you, please DO NOT proceed. It also contains angst, fluff, and comfort. Also, very little editing and wrote on my phone.
Steve Rogers x wife reader
Word count: 1,370
Notes: The next part in the That's My Girl series will be going up today or tomorrow. I was feeling the need for some comfort myself, so this is what I wrote. Hope you like it!
Y/n slammed the door, tears streaming down her face she pressed her back into the wall and slid down until she was a small ball on the floor.
"Why do I do this?" She sobbed hating herself.
Y/n had had a rough few days. It seemed like no matter what she did or said, people were short with her. Everything was going wrong, and after one mistake, which led to a snarky backhanded compliment from Tony Stark himself, well, Y/n was done. Usually, it didn't get to her like this anymore, but her emotions frayed to a breaking point.
Her dad always told her she wore her heart on her sleeve but she just thought her mom was right and that instead of enduring this made her a nuisance.
Why should she be so bothered when people utter unkind things to her?
Why can't she pull herself together?
"You're always start crying! Stop trying to make me feel bad"
"You're stabbing me in the back by trying to do something different"
"Don't you know I need you here? Stop thinking about yourself and making everything harder on me"
This and many other instances where y/n would be belittled, ridiculed, screamed at, lectured for two hours at 1 in the morning, and reduced to making herself as small and as unseen as possible while being a sobbing mess, had made her what she is today.
Too sensitive. At least that's what she told herself at times like this.
And why couldn't she just talk about it like a normal person instead of blowing something trivial out of proportion?
Literally five minutes ago....
Steve had come home the night before. Poor guy had been so tired that he fell asleep in uniform on the couch.
Y/n had been carefully tiptoeing around the kitchen so as not to accidentally wake him up. Intending to surprise him before heading to work.
She was supposed to be going over mission plans with Vision today. This was the kind of work that excited her. None of the agents would bother them while they were working, which meant that she could just disappear for the day.
She platted up breakfast and carried it over to set it on the coffee table in front of the sleep soilder.
Tho he didn't actually wake up until she set down his mug of coffee.
Eyes fluttering open he peered up at her groggyily. "Hi" He mumbled, pushing himself upright. "Hey sleepy head." Y/n said, trying to make her voice sound chipper.
Steve sighed contentedly as he stretched out his muscles before standing up.
"Mind if I go change clothes before I enjoy this masterpiece?" He asked. Y/n turned to face him, attempting to smooth down his wild bedhead and then said, "Go ahead"
He was back a matter of moments, settling down next to her and drinking deeply from his coffee.
"Thank you for this," He sighed leaning over and gently kissing her on the cheek. Y/n just nodded, trying to keep her mind on a healthy track she focused on eating.
"Did you sleep well?" Steve asked. Taking another bite, she thought about lying and telling him that she had had the best night sleep.
"Sorta" She said trying to stiffle a yawn. "What does sorta mean?" Steve asked turning to look at her. "Nothing really. I'm good! Nothing some strong coffee won't fix."
Steve placed his hands on her shoulders, making her look at him. He studied the dark circles, the faint tint of bloodshot in her eyes, how she held herself and her fiddling hands.
"Hm," He said, his voice low in his chest.
Y/n knew exactly what he was doing, shaking his hands off her shoulders and standing up she said, "I should probably get ready for work."
Steve stood up, grabbing her wrist and stopping her. "Y/n, you look exhausted." "I'm fine" "You're twirling your hair, which means you're not telling the truth." "Steve, c'mon I don't have time for this" "Y/n, it looks like you've been crying" She pulled his hand off her wrist and started to walk away from him, "I'm going to work." "Sweetheart, please just tell me what's - " "Steve! Please just listen to me and leave me alone!" She yelled, cutting him off. She ran off to the bedroom, and that's when the door slammed.
Steve stood there a moment, thinking about honoring her request and leaving her be. But his protective nature overtook him and he decided that the best thing to do would be to be there for his girl.
In the bedroom.
Y/n sat against the wall still crying into her hands, body trembling, thinking hateful thoughts about herself.
She heard Steve knock on the door, saying "Sweetheart, can I come in?"
When she didn't answer him, he slowly opened the door and stepped inside.
She could feel him kneeling down in front of her, "Sweetheart," He whispered, trying to tuck her hair behind her ear to which she only buried her face further.
The next thing that happened, was Steve scooping her up into his arms and settling down in the arm chair that sat in the room.
Somehow this just made her cry more.
"Oh honey, come on now. Take a deep breath. In through the nose and out through the mouth." He soothed.
After about ten minutes of this, her crying settled down, breath becoming rhythmic.
Once he was sure that she had calmed down enough to be able to communicate with him, he asked his voice low and rumbling through his chest, "Do you wanna talk about what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"
She nodded against his shirt. "Everything" she gasped. "Everything?" He asked, pulling her back so he could look her in the face. Dabbing away the leftover tears.
"I'm too emotional. Everything the last few days just hurts. I let everything get under my skin... I just. . Lately, people and Stark are just mean, or maybe I'm just too sensitive.. and now I've yelled at you, too." She said, trying to get up.
"Now hold on a minute, " He cooed, keeping her in place.
"What did Tony say?" "Nothing. I messed up and he was being sarcastic, but I'm such a mess that it hurt" she said her voice breaking. "Alright. Listen to me. One, you are not too emotional. The world tells everyone to button up and be cynical. You, my dear, are a light in all that mess. You do care and that's a very good thing -- I don't want you to listen to anyone that would belittle that, ok?" He asked getting a slow, uncertain nod in response. "Ok. Secondly, people can be mean, especially Stark. People also have power trips and want to pull people down to make themselves feel stronger or better. This means there's one thing you can always be certain of: Do you know what that is?" "What?" "They're wrong. Anyone who would belittle you to make a point or to win an argument or for any other reason, is just a bully." "But what if-" "ah. No what ifs. Thirdly, and this one is the one that's most important of the three." "Then why'd it come last?" She asked clearly beginning to feel a little bit better if she could tease him now. Steve simply rolled his eyes and continued,
"I want you to remember that when you're upset, you can always talk to me. No matter how silly it might make you feel, your feelings are safe with me." "Steve I just yelled at you for no rea-" "No. You had a reason. You were upset. I can see that and you know what that means? It means I can take it too. When I put this ring on your finger," He said taking her hand in his and running a finger across her knuckles. "I signed up for this. I'd rather have you get emotional than bottle things up and hide them from me."
Y/n looked down at their still intertwined hands and then back up at him. Nodding again and breathed out an "ok"
"Ok." Steve replied, giving her his usual comforting smile and kissing her forehead.

A03 meme
A03 meme time, except I've been writing and posting fanfic to the internet since before A03. And before fanfiction.net. And before Geocities. And before the World Wide Web. There's fic of mine with ASCII doodle illustrations somewhere out there where the wild BBSes once roamed…I was tagged by @moveslikebucky; thanks Buckie, here goes. <3
how many works do you have on Ao3?
54. (and yes if we added in all the fanfic outside of A03 it'd be a larger number but I can't be bothered to consolidate it all)
what’s your total Ao3 word count?
341,744, which is better than I was expecting, yay.
what fandoms do you write for?
At the moment it's just Good Omens, but there's been a lot of Dragon Age, some Lord of the Rings, and way back in the day there was Harry Potter and a lot of anime. I am toying with dipping my toe back in LotR, there's a thing I wrote ages ago that's entirely finished and just needs editing and I've been meaning to get it out there for ages. It's long though, so that'd be a commitment.
what are your top five fics by kudos?
What Custom Strictly Divided (507)
Like an Echo Far Away (415) (this one wasn't in the top five last week when I first started writing this post! So I think @mielpetite gets all the credit for boosting it with amazing fanart)
What Comes From Your Hand (402)
Give Me Your Illusions (346)
Nightswimming (307)
do you respond to comments?
Yep! Sometimes just with "Thanks!" or hearts but I try to. Though they get away from me sometimes and then I do a bunch all at once.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Definitely Warmaiden, which is my "What if Éowyn got the One Ring?" fic, from an idea that occurred to me one day and wouldn't leave. Clearly that doesn't end well for her, or anyone. From GO fandom it's probably Silent Night, which I still want to expand into a larger fic to be a set with Give Me Your Illusions. Someday, someday.
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of them! But for the happiest I'd say Swan Lake Revised, cowritten with @mostlyjustgoose. And if we ever get part three up it'll be even more happy. And smutty. Very smutty.
Do you get hate on fics?
Very rarely. I've been lucky there.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Oh here's the irony. I used to do a lot a lot a LOT of online roleplaying and mygod I wrote smut. So much. So. Much. I don't do as much rp these days but even so the threads I have going are still frequently pure filth. But in fic, much less so, even though I want to. Why it all gets channeled into rp and not as much into my fanfic I do not know. Honestly I want to write a lot more of it. Smut forever!!
Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Sometimes, when I have a good idea. But the craziest one I ever wrote, ages ago, was a pure crackfic for my 21st birthday, where I imagined a bizarre party for myself in which LOADS of fictional characters (mostly from anime) showed up so I could make them interact in wacky ways. It was utterly ridiculous but amused me. Making all the characters voiced by Megumi "She's Everywhere!!" Hayashabara meet up and wonder why they all sound alike, for example. Also I wish I'd written an Artemis Fowl breaks into Gringotts to rob it fic before I became so disillusioned with both Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter. Heigh ho.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yep. It was impressive how lazy the person was about it too, they stole all the html as well. Someone brought it to my attention pretty quickly.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Twice, yes. Into Portuguese, as I remember.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Hi @mostlyjustgoose, I adore you, please co-write things with me forever. <3 Our baby is Unusual Strings, a reverse omens AU love story, and it's SO. CLOSE. to being done. So close. Aughhhh. I love our angel!Crowley and demon!Aziraphale so, so much.
What’s your all time favorite ship?
Aziraphale and Crowley, Faramir and Éowyn, Hiccup and Astrid. Don't make me choose between those three, my head will explode.
What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Shut up shut up I will finish all of them ALL OF THEM I SAY…sigh. Beauty and the Battousai. Though I should probably mention A Demon in the Dreaming and The Queen Bee. (they're plotted and outlined and parts are written aaahhh come on ADHD meds help me out here)
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue, definitely. I'm good at putting humour into things. Got compared to Patricia Wrede once and honestly, life goal achieved there. I can do memorable phrases and descriptions and edit well.
What are your writing weaknesses?
What is plot. Why does it hate me. Why are my original characters one-dimensional cardboard. What is worldbuilding and how do I do it without getting stalled into paralysis. Baaaah. This is why my original novel will never be finished and I keep running back to fanfic instead.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Hoo boy contentious subject! I love reading it so long as it's translated somewhere in the footnotes, I'd be happy to write it if I knew other languages, the question of whether it should be italicized or not has apparently Officially been settled by The Publishing Industry on the side of Not.
First fandom you wrote for?
Oh gosh I think it was the Dragonlance books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. The first that ever got shown to other people was Ranma 1/2 though.
Favorite fic you’ve written?
It's still What Custom Strictly Divided. Though Unusual Strings comes very close.
Gaaah I'm always worried I'll tag people who don't want to be tagged so, erk, um...if they're willing, @racketghost, @indieninja92, and @holycatsandrabbits! And you, if you're reading and want to do this, please say I tagged you. I meant to really, honest. ;)

Hi, reading the All Will Be One story and I was wondering about how much creative freedom you have when writing? If you can say that, of course. Like, I figure you don't decide which planeswalkers get oiled, but do you decide how they get oiled or is that decided by higherups?
Oh, man. I love doing Magic Story so much it is so much fun, and I am really grateful that you understand that there's going to be stuff I can't say about how it all happens. At the end of the day, I trust the current story team to treat these characters respectfully, and I want to stay part of the process, which sometimes means leaving things out.
So the way this works is that someone from Story will go "hey are you available for a story/a set/more work?" and I will say either yes or no. At this stage, I don't even know what the code name for the set is going to be, much less where it's set/which characters are involved/etc. I sign an updated NDA, and have a talk with Story in which I'm given more details, the set code name, and the plane we're going to be on.
One of the big details I get is story beats. So for example, in "Tangles," I was told I would be writing for Wrenn and Teferi, and I needed them to meet and work together, such that they would be positively inclined toward each other in the future. In the current story, the beats I got included "these are the planeswalkers you have to work with, these are the ones who get oiled," and a few of the specific situations in which it happened. I had to flesh things out from there.
I write a detailed outline, and run it through my editors. They kick it back. I revise it, and try again. Three to twelve rounds later, we have a finalized outline that matches the story beats they asked for and the logical connective tissue I settled on. I then follow this outline religiously during the writing process.
Main set stories are, generally, five episodes long, with five side stories, not written by the same author(s) as the main story, which is all one person to make it easier to stay consistent. We don't necessarily get to see the other stories (in Dominaria United, where I wrote "Homecoming," I didn't know anything about the main story, for example, and in All Will Be One, I didn't see any of the side material. So it's new to me when it's new to you, which is kinda fun).
Now, the part I struggle with: word counts. Each of those five stories gets to be 5,000 words long. I pretty consistently go over that limit, because 5,000 words is not long enough. At the same time, writers are paid, and there are budgetary concerns in play. Keep in mind that Magic Story is free, but it doesn't happen for free. Writers, editors, copyeditors, and sensitivity readers are all involved, and all need to be paid. So saying "we can only afford to pay you for 5,000 words of fiction" isn't anyone being cheap, it's a free service having a reasonable budget.
After I finish writing the story beats I was given and the story flesh I designed, the story goes off to be edited, and will pass through several rounds before it can go for copy edits and sensitivity reading. Again, there are several rounds in play. And each round is an opportunity for errors to creep in. Maybe I wrote a coherent sentence that contained a phrase I didn't know was offensive, and it got changed after my part was over, so now it's disjointed. Maybe I was asked to cut 300 words at the last minute, and created some sentence fragments in the process. I try very hard not to let this happen, but it's the way of fiction. Ironically, I still accept that all these rounds of review make things better, even as they can introduce problems.
After this is finished, the stories go away until we finally reach the set release and they start coming out, and my friends start yelling at me for keeping secrets. I respect and adore my NDAs, and want to keep working with Magic Story for a long time yet to come!

Two's a Crowd - Part 2
Fandom: Five Nights at Freddy's - Security Breach
Pairing: Sun x afab!Reader x Moon
Wordcount: 2309
Tags: double penetration, tentacle dicks (of course, I wrote it), not beta read (aka uploaded as soon as my drunken self finished the piece), threesome
Summary: Sun and Moon get a much needed upgrade, and they can't wait to show it to you- the security guard, and their lover.
Part 1 (old blog)
(EDITED 02-12-22. No more restarting cum count lol)
Moon had you in his arms instantly, hooking himself to the tether to lift you both to the balcony attached to their room, but this little action soon proved to be a problem.
There was only one cable now, and two animatronics.
"Nooo," whined Sun as he, too, reached for the tether, only to be denied. "Take me with you as well, Moony~" and you were squished in Moon's arms while Sun wrapped himself around the two of you, desperate not to be apart for even a second.
"Sun, you're being a baaaby," Moon grouched, but flew upwards anyways, the cable and the hook straining at the weight of the three of you combined. No one cared too much about that at this point, too eager to get to their room. The moment his feet landed on the balcony, Sun jumped off, taking you from Moon, who sighed and unhooked himself.
"Come, come, hurry!" he urged you, as if he wasn't carrying you right now, you just giggled at his excitement as he skipped over to the huge nest of blankets that you'd come to know so well.
You were put down quickly, with Sun hovering over you instantly, mouth seeking out yours to capture it in a kiss so intense you had to move away for breath. It seemed he got used to his new faceplate quickly, and when he licked his lips with that damn tongue, you pulled him in again to kiss him deeper than before. He was practically putting his tongue down your throat, and when you pulled away he whined, a string of drool connecting the two of you. You realized he was so pent up he was humping the blankets below you, seeking out your mouth again with a desperation you weren't used to.
"Get a griiiip, Sun," Moon said as he crawled on your left side to the nest you were on, but when you looked over you saw he too was barely held together. Drool was dripping from his open maw, tongue flicking out to lick his sharp teeth as his glowing red eyes were glued to you, crawling with his knees backwards towards your prone form. Their eyes and the light from the daycare below were the only things illuminating the room.
"Sweeeeet but naughty Starlight," Moon cooed, cradling your head in his large, clawed hands. "If you had any idea what you are doing to ussss... Have been doing to us allll this time."
You wanted to address the elephant in the room; namely... why the fuck did parts and service give them dicks? When Moon kissed you with much more of a feral quality than Sun did however all thoughts flew your mind. Especially as you felt Sun's deft hands undress you quickly, leaving you naked under them both. You pulled away for air, having practically been mouth fucked by Moons tongue. He seemed quite pleased with the state he left you in, and pulled you on top of him, turning you so your back was to him and your front to Sun.
"Sunflower..." Sun whimpered, "Sweet, sweet, precious Sunbeam... Please allow us. Please, please, please."
Despite being sandwiched between the two you still managed to have the leash of control over them. You knew that there was nothing that would happen against your will, and you always felt high when this extremely strong and dangerous animatronic bowed to you so easily. Of course, you'd have to battle for his favour, especially Moon's, but that's a story for another time. Now that both had their own body it seemed no different.
"Sun, my sweet Sunny, please, take me as you please." You told him. "Moony too. You have my permission."
You fully let them take the reigns. They'd wanted to do this for so long, you would not take this moment from them. Also, you really wanted to see how they'd behave, trying out these dicks for what you assumed was their first time.
After you said those words you were hugged close to both animatronics, sandwiched between the two tightly, as Sun put his face on your left, and Moon put his face on your right side. Sun licked a long stripe from your chest to the top of your ear, making you shiver, while Moon decided to bite down on your other shoulder, marking you for the world to see.
"Our little precious Star." Moon hummed in your ear, his large clawed hands dragging over the front of your body, kneading your breasts and moving down to your thighs, where you needed their touch most. Sun had your head in his hands, throbbing lower body now rubbing up against your legs. He was shivering and rutting against you, and you were sure he was going to come this way if you didn't intervene. So you decided to grab his hips, guiding him to you with a peck on his nose and a look so sinful he stuttered out your name with a lovestruck expression on his face. His eyes were looking so deeply into yours, his new blue optics boring into yours so intently you cast them down, trying to escape his gaze. You got an eye full of his dick though, and you gasped. It was more like a tentacle, glowing a soft orange, and you slowly saw it inch its way into you. Sun was a mess, whining your name and trying his very best not to impale you onto his dick too harshly, but it was so difficult. You felt so good, and he was so overwhelmed with the feeling. Getting you off before had felt good to him, and when his wires were touched a certain way he certainly felt pleasure, but this was more than he'd imagined it would be. It almost overloaded his systems, and when he finally pushed all the way in he needed a moment to collect himself.
Meanwhile Moon was purring in your ear, just muttering words of encouragement and just sweet nothings as his eyes were glued to the sight of Sun pushing his way into your slick opening. He was trying to compose himself, but he wasn't sure if he could. It looked so good, and he honestly couldn't really wait anymore himself. He wasn't aware the new parts were gonna be feeling this intense, and he could only imagine what it felt like for Sun who was inside of you right now.
"Sun, you're doing so good~" you mewled at Sun as he slowly started moving again, his forehead against yours. His eyes were unfocused but full of love as he coo-ed at you between groans and gasps. He had to bend over you quite far, but you were used to their strange contortions.
"Dewdrop, you're... so tight..." Sun huffed, and Moon groaned in your ear. His hands had started rubbing all over, claws digging into your thighs, opening your legs further for Sun as if you weren't already trying to do that yourself. You could hear Moons panting in your ear, and his dick crawling across your ass. Fuck, the feeling of their prehensile cocks was a strange feeling, but one you could definitely get used to. With a deep sigh as Sun hit a particular spot inside you, Moon tilted your head his way, kissing you deeply while you tried to breathe through your mouth.
"My turn now," Moon growled as you broke apart, but Sun whined, not wanting to leave your plush heat.
"Nooo, not yet," he whined, grabbing your hips, and pulling you closer to him, thrusting in harder than he had before. You cried out as he hit a spot in you that made you see stars, your right arm coming around Sun's neck as your left grabbed Moon's nightcap, tugging at it as Sun brought you closer and closer to the edge.
"Spoiled little brat." Moon growled, voice so low you could barely hear it being growled at Sun, and you tugged a little harder at his hat, wiggling your ass against his dick that was leaking against your back. "Fortunately Starlight has more holes to fill."
You gasped at his words, but the fog in your brain was too thick to think through. The pleasure Sun was giving you was multiplied as Moon dragged a clawed finger over your clit, and you sobbed out their names.
"Ahhh, please both of you, I want the both of you-" you said between gasps of pleasure, you were so close, and Sun's expression or Moon's growling in your ear wasn't making it easier on you.
"Now, relaaaaax little star," Moon murmured in your ear, seemingly composed, but had you been a little more attentive you'd notice Moon was as riled up as Sun, drool falling from his mouth, hitting your shoulder as his sharp teeth worried his lower lip. He was so absolutely focused on your body, your noises, his trashing dick against your soft ass as he tried to push it in without hurting you. Thankfully both animatronics had lube to spare, and he slid in surprisingly easy, as Sun relaxed your body. Moon's fingers remained on your clit, distracting you from his insertion from the back, but honestly you were on cloud nine. The only thing on your mind was Sun's panting, his gasping of your name as you realized he was trying not to come too quickly, Moon's fingers rubbing your clit with his growling groans at your ear. Not to mention the absolute fullness you felt as he finally pushed inside, fucking you open with small thrusts.
"Sunshiiiiiiine~" Sun whined, his voice about as wrecked as the expression on his face, and you realized he was about to come. Well, so were you. And as you grabbed his head to pull him in for a deep kiss, he came inside you with a full body shudder. Spurt after spurt was unloaded inside of you, and Moon took this moment to push in fully. The feeling was too much, and you came, pulling away from Sun to gasp for air and moan out a combination of their names.
"Fuck, fuck," you gasped as Moon set a steady pace while Sun stayed inside you, hardening almost instantly at the sight of you getting fucked by Moon.
"Oh, Dewdrop you look so pretty getting f̵̛̬͘u̴̥͐̿c̵̹͊̏k̵̻̂̽e̸͙̽͒d̸̛͔̰̒ by Moon," Sun moaned, absolutely ruined and lost in pleasure. The static filling his voicebox at saying fuck made you groan even harder, throbbing around his member, and moving against Moon's hips that were slamming mercilessly into your backside.
"Starlight, you take me so wellllll," Moon groaned into your ear, voice low and growly, his fingers rubbing harder and harder into your clit, until Sun's kiss made you come harshly again, throbbing and quivering around Sun, who said your name like a prayer as he began moving again after a second of relief. Your juices mixed with Sun's and ran down your legs and Sun's dick, making a mess of the nest the boys had made for you, but how could you possibly care if you were brought to the edge so quickly again after the first time this time thanks to Moon? His thrusting was aggressive, but a lot more controlled than Sun's thrust, but now Sun had started up again, having enough energy to go once more.
You were in heaven. Having come twice, you were so close to coming again, being filled so well by both animatronics. Their pacing was so different, and yet so in sync, and you sobbed out your pleasure, pussy quivering, making more fluids leak down from your pussy down onto the nest, saturating the pillows and blankets.
"Moon, Sun, please," you begged, as if you had any idea of what you were begging for. You were overstimulated, but the promise of more still made you go. Your core was throbbing so good.
"Almost there, little star," Moon growled, voice tighter than you were used to from him. Oh he was so close too. The feeling of you. The sight of you. He was practically feral; drooling, grinding his teeth, his tongue coming out to lick your shoulder and to lick up his own drool. He wanted, no needed, more, more, more-
Sun had his face against you, mouthing at your lips as he came a second time, spending himself fully inside of you once again. He thought he'd never thank the mechanics at Parts and Service but now he was considering it. Your name was on his lips as he tried to kiss you between both your breathless moans you two gasped out.
And then it was Moon's turn; snarling his pleasure into your shoulder as his teeth buried themselves as deep as his dick did. Biting down and marking you as he came harshly, thrusting staggeringly into your backside as he too spend himself fully inside you. His fingers twitched against you, stopping their teasing ministrations. Glittering cum gushed from your front and back, and you managed to come a third time at the feeling, sobbing their names as you barely held on enough to kiss Sun back sloppily through your intense pleasure. Your body went limp almost instantly after, and you barely realized you were gently laid down on clean blankets, both animatronics cleaning you up without disturbing you too much.
And then you felt the warmth of not one, but two animatronics, spend, pleased, absolutely in love with you, curled around your small body, warming you as you drifted off.
You were sure this wouldn't be the last time you would be shared between the two like this, but for now you just enjoyed the safety of being cradled by both of them.

20 Questions for Writers
Thanks so much for the tag, @lyntergalactic! :D I feel like I've done this before, but it must have been a whole ago. It looks fun! (also, I'm pasting just the questions at the bottom of the post if anyone wants to copy those)
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 247, though I'm not really sure what the ratio is for images versus fics... Okay, apparently, 97 of them are tagged with 'fanart' and have fewer than 100 words, so somewhere around 100 image-only works and 147 fics.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 1,141,145; which includes a few collabs and fics for which I just contributed an image.
3. What fandoms do you write for? TCW exclusively 😅 Though I've done a handful of images for other things like Arcane, Dune, Trigun, The Expanse, House of the Dragon...
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? A bunch of my works with the most kudos are images, but if we're talking fics, then I think it's just some of my oldest ones...
That’s Not How It Happened (This Is How It Happened) - Fives arc fix-it and my first fic.
Orbital Decay - Codywan that I haven't edited since I posted it, so I can't vouch for the quality.
Modulation - Another one I haven't touched since I posted it, but it's an 'Echo gets rescued much earlier than in canon and he and Fives reunite' fix-it of sorts.
Will You Walk With Me? - Waxer's pov from the start of the war to the (fix-it) end, and it mostly focuses on his and Boil's friendship (Waxer & Boil or Waxer/Boil pre-relationship - take your pick). Even though this certainly isn't the best thing I've written, it's my baby. 🧡
Interference - Umbara fix-it featuring minor canon characters and some necessary OCs in the first chapter, then more major canon characters later.
More stuff below the cut, since this is a long list...
5. Do you respond to comments? Yes!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably You're Just Harder to See Than Most, which ends very sadly on its own, but it's part of a larger fix-it including Modulation above, so Fives and Echo get reunited.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pfff like basically all of them, idk XD;
8. Do you get hate on fics? No, just on one sketch dump, where someone went through 6 chapters of spicy cloneshippy images and then decided they needed to complain about it being gross and immoral 🤣 It was hysterical kjlksahfg
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Oh yes, I'm a certified smut goblin. Not really sure what the question means by 'what kind,' but I guess 'porn with feelings' is probably the AO3 tag that would most accurately describe all of the smut I've written XD
10. Do you write crossovers? Nope.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! :D
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Hm, I suppose if we're defining that as like, "what ship have you intensely shipped for the longest amount of time," it would be destiel? I was veeeeeery into that ship for many years.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I've had one wip sitting around for over a year, and for a while I was thinking I wasn't going to get back to it ever. But I made a little vibes playlist for it and had some help brainstorming, so I'm hopeful I can start tackling it again after I get some current stuff drafted.
16. What are your writing strengths? Starting something and working on it until it's finished.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I have a lot of trouble generating ideas on my own.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I think it's fine as long as it's either A. very short and clear from context or B. for some reason, the writer is intending to confuse the reader and obfuscate what was said. I know I've said it before, but I'm not gonna scroll to the bottom of a fic every few paragraphs to find the translations for whole phrases or sentences. If the amount of 'other language' starts making the dialogue difficult to follow, I'm just gonna nope out.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Technically, I wrote one thing for Gundam Wing back in like 2000, but I can't even remember what I did with it or what it was about, exactly. Other than that, TCW.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? flsdlfg that's really difficult... idk man, if it's quality we're talking about rather than sentimentality, I'd say it's a toss-up between these three 😅:
My Heart's Red Muscle - Canon-divergent AU where Waxer is a cyborg.
Kinktober 2022 - Character studies/development through smut, where Waxer and Boil find a list of sexy things to try out, so it's kind of meta. It's from my main Open Skies AU, and I'm weirdly proud of this one XD;
We Could Breathe Underwater - Force-sensitive Waxer and Boil AU
Phew! Okay this took me like three sessions to answer, but it was fun :)

20 Questions for Writers
Thank you so much for the tag @wendingways I'm FINALLY getting around to it. :D
How many works do you have on AO3?
132
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
2, 962, 169
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Star Wars, Hornblower, Narnia [just one]
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Mirjahaal
Bajur
He Who Sheds His Blood With Me
Forging Ahead
I Felt You In My Bones
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do as much as possible. I appreciate my readers making time to say something. It takes effort on their part and I want them to know I am grateful. Equally, I get lots of fun thoughts from my readers and it's delightful to interact with people. :D
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oh definitely the fic I could never write. ;D By which I mean---there was a prompt somewhere that said 'the aftermath of a scene you'll never write'. So I knew immediately what that was and ripped my own heart out to write "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night". Literally, I was ugly crying the whole time. And it convinced me that nope, I can never do this in my 'real' fics if you will. xD
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Hmmm. I am a girl who likes a happy ending. Granted, it's after kark tons of pain and suffering usually xD, but...
I think I'll land on the Dragon Speaker. I could name quite a few others, but I spent more time developing the happy aftermath so that's why I choose it.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
I've said it before---I have some of the BEST readers. And I've had folks who've disagreed with some of my takes on character or plot, but they are welcome to do so if they are respectful and they are. It produces good conversation and perspective. I can think of one time I had someone actively unpleasant, but let's hear it for delete and block! :D
9. Do you write smut?
Nope.
10. Do you write crossovers?
No. It's just not my cup of tea.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of and I hope not. Obviously, a lot of us have similar ideas----writing is just like that. But I don't think anyone has taken my work directly. That kind of thing does get me riled up because I know the work all of us creators have done to make these stories. Don't do it, kids.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes I have and it's very fun! I have a very industrious and delightful reader who has translated a lot of my work into Russian. :D
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
I have a few times. :D
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
Depends on context here. I don't read or write fics for just romance. I need purpose beyond the couple if you will. If we're talking within Star Wars then canonically it's Han and Leia. If we're going with my own fanfics it's a toss up between Mara and Max Veers and Firmus Piett and Sola Naberrie. ;D If we're talking broad literary ship Benedick and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
WIP I will never finish? What are you talking about?
Genuinely, I hate the idea of abandoning my fics. Just can't. Some of them are taking longer than I had thought, but that's ok. Life happens. I will finish. ;D
16. What’s your writing strengths?
I think I develop character fairly well. I like to have a plot mapped out before I start writing, so I think I do all right with story cohesion and flow. I am a firm believe that you need to care about the characters more than anything else. World building and correct editing are good things, but if no one cares about your characters, it can get boring and readers lose interest.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
A good balance of action, description, and dialogue. Dialogue is easy for me and I like the characters interacting. But action and description are very important as well to SEE the scene and I need to work on my descriptive choices. I'm also ridiculously impatient. I want to publish NOW. And this means that perhaps some needed editing or more polish/depth is overlooked. I'm working on that.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Absolutely. I've used mando'a a lot now in Star Wars. In history AUs I've dabbled a smidge in French and Latin to set the tone a bit. Definitely do your homework whether using a real or fictional language. People notice!! :D
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Haha. So in terms of more serious writing like I'm doing now, it's Star Wars.
But.
I wrote by hand in notebooks during high school for the original Star Trek. Had all kinds of crush on Pavel Chekov. xD We watched the re runs of it and I liked the movies as a kid so....
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Oh goodness. Can that really be answered? I like them all for vastly different reasons. If we're going for world building then likely Dragon Speaker. If we're going for in depth history fun, then The War in the Shadows. If we're going for fic I saw most clearly in my brain as I wrote and LIVED it, then Showdown at Alliance Ranch. Within the ER verse, quite possibly Fidelity because writing all that courtroom drama and the intense brotherhood of Firmus and Max going through that was just so satisfying.
But over all story? Honestly can't pick just one. Sorry!

Thanks for the tag @kay-elle-cee! I feel like such an imposter lately since I can't seem to bring myself to write lately, at least outside of journaling.
AO3 Username: Elastic_Heart31
1. How many works do you have on A03? 15, but 2 more are hidden for now.
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 765,116
3. What fandoms do you write for? So far just Harry Potter. If I was braver I would write the Before Sunrise idea I have or attempt to write a fleabag fanfic. I'm also experimenting with more original writing.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Maybe Tomorrow
Iris
It Had To Be You
Found (though currently hidden)
In Between (also hidden 😅)
Those are all Harmony, but my top Jily fic is:
At The Beginning
5. Do you respond to comments? I try my best with my ADHD brain. I truly appreciate when people take the time to let me know their thoughts.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hmm. Not sure since some haven't ended some of them yet. Maybe Plans? Since we know what happens in canon.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably It Had To Be You with it's two part epilogue of fluff.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Sigh. Yes. One of the many reasons I've lost my enthusiasm for writing Harry and Hermione fanfics.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes, though often against my better judgement haha. I have no idea what to classify it as. Maybe I'll borrow Kelsey's word and say vanilla.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Nope!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not sure.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Maybe? I've had people ask, but unsure if they are posted.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, hopefully will get back to it someday!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Hmmm I've had so many over the years. The only ones I've attempted to write though have been Harmony and Jily. They've also been consistent since childhood.
Special shout out to my teenage love of Pacey and Joey from Dawson's Creek, even though adult me thinks he deserves better and that show is terrible.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? At this point it feels like all of them 🙈
16. What are your writing strengths? No clue. I've been told I write emotion well. I've also been complimented on my ability to write children realistically.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Probably grammar and sentence structure, I still feel lost a lot of the time when it comes to all of that. I earned to write in English after learning French though it's my native language, and I see how it still impacts me. Also, I tend to be the worst with over writing and then having to edit the hell out everything!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
If it makes sense in the story. I've seen it work well in a lot of literary books I've read. And one scene in particular from UaS (if you know, you know).
19. First fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter. One and only (so far).
20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Hmm I'm probably proudest of Maybe Tomorrow. It's one that feels personal in ways that are hard to explain. I also think I grew a lot as a writer while working on it.
In terms of Jily, I've really enjoyed my drabbles that aren't on archive. I do hope to expand on some of them someday.

20 Fic Questions
This seems fun. Thanks to @angelosearch for tagging me in this one. Tagging some usual suspects and anyone else who wants to give it a go - @achaotichuman @goldheartedchaoticdisaster @songofthesibyl
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 8!
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 165,248
3. What fandoms do you write for? DC Comics & ACOTAR, currently.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Justice League's Moms' Book Club's Guide to Vampire Slaying (DC Comics)
Wildflowers (ACOTAR)
The Lighthouse (DC Comics)
Anthophile (ACOTAR)
Five Years (DC Comics)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I always respond to comments. I appreciate them so much and I want to show how much I value comments by always answering them as much as possible.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? It's a toss up between Wildflowers since it's part 1 of 2, but I have a Jason/Kori oneshot that is just angst all the way through.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? It's not complete yet, but in terms of vibes, it's probably gonna be the Moms fic (bc I can't hurt our moms!!) or the lighthouse. It was meant to be slice of life/happy.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Not yet, and fingers crossed not ever. I just want people to enjoy what I've written and if it's not for them, that they do find a fic that is up their alley! Positivity all around.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? So far, only angsty smut has been posted, but kinky smut is coming right up 👌
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I do, but it isn't posted. It's a private work. It's a Diablo 4, Witcher and JJK crossover with a dash of Star Wars and Tokyo Ghoul LMAOOOO
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? God, I hope not!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope, but I have considered translating it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Five years is co-written. I have an Erwin x Levi fic that's co-written but I need to edit.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship? It's a toss up between Orm x Clark, Superbats (and/or Superwetbats) and Barry x Hal x Kom.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I like to hope that all my WIPs will be finished one day.
16. What are your writing strengths? Based on what I've been told, imagery is my strength and tying visual with sensations. Sometimes, I drop BOMB ASS lines that I forgot I wrote until my betas tell me that the sentence gave them shivers.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Currently, I've got major pacing issues for some fics I'm posting as the muse comes a long. I do think my smut needs improvement, but you know, I should actually go practice instead of wishing I was good.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? It irks me when writers use google translate, so I wouldn't do it myself. I am bilingual in English and French, with some very formal Spanish, so those would be the only three you'll catch me writing. Otherwise, I'll just use italics and say it's in another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for? ✨Neopets✨
20. Favourite fic you've ever written? I'm so, so soft for anything that involves the supermoms. I'm on an Atlanna kick right now, so definitely The Lighthouse or JL's Mom's BC's Guide to Vampire Slaying. Ugh, wait I also love writing kid versions of characters so maybe Wildflowers too AHHHHH

Fic Writer 20 Questions
Thanks to @merlyn-bane for tagging me! <3
1.) How many works do you have on ao3
Currently 56!
2.) What's your ao3 word count?
183,482
3.) What fandoms do you write for?
At this moment, it's Star Wars all day every day. Specifically into the prequel era and Star Wars Rebels related stuff.
4.) What are your top five fics by kudos?
Twenty-Two - an Enjoltaire fic I wrote when I was 20 so let's not talk about that
it's a gift to be truly known - skybridger fic, I'm thrilled to see it this high :')
held like a dream - codywan, interesting it's done better than the others
Lost in the Supermarket - another enjoltaire from the wee age of 20, don't look at me
beholder - codywan, I do really really love this one
5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, mostly! I don't always because it gets mixed up with my anxiety and I feel overwhelmed and pressured. So I live by a policy of "respond if I am feeling it, if not nbd."
6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I genuinely can't think of anything that has an angsty ending. Angsty middles, sure, but I'm a happy ender. I guess it's like poetry, it rhymes (shatterpoint lineage fic) is a little bittersweet?
7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Hard to choose? I've written some pretty sappy fluff. I've decided on frame the halves, call them a whole (codywan) because you get a good, way pre-O66 fix it that means no one I like died PLUS force sensitive clones! :)
8.) Do you get hate on fics?
I don't believe I ever have!
9.) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Haha yes. It's generally queer and pretty tame in terms of kink.
10.) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Nope, never have.
11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so! My fics are pretty mid-tier at their highest popularity so I don't think anyone really cares to lol
12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes and I'm still so, so flattered and thrilled by it. :''') I believe I had one (or even two???) old Les Mis fic translated before, but I don't see it linked on ao3. And then there's this absolute beauty:
Comme de la poésie, ça rime
13.) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Not technically, but Haley and I have a draft we lovingly refer to as only fan-akin, doc titled (by Haley, credit where due) "the west wing but if sam married the hooker and became president instead of dropping that storyline and leaving after s3"
14.) What's your all time favorite ship?
Maybe probably Billy/Teddy from Young Avengers. They're my boys!!!
15.) What's a WIP you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Baby girl, I have WIPs you don't even know. I wish I could write the jedi temple epic I wanted to, but my thoughts and feelings have changed so much the whole concept has collapsed and what I have is too messy to use elsewhere. And then there's the courferre soulmate fic I dearly meant to finish and just never will since the interest dried up.
16.) What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue. That's the easiest part for me to write.
17.) What are your writing weaknesses?
Uh well first of all, actually getting myself to write is a big fucking challenge of mine. But really, the spacial stuff and descriptions kill me. Please know that if you ever read non-dialogue, non-thought parts that you like, it probably took me like 10 writing passes to get it just right. I live in a state of editing and reediting.
18.) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I just don't! I am willing to add in as much as I know or easy words-- like a bonjour or, if we're talking Star Wars, sprinkles of words like vode. But if someone is talking in sentences, I will straight up do "Sabine said something in Mando'a" or "Stop that, Sabine told him in Mando'a." Easier for me that trying to do bad translations.
19.) First fandom you wrote for?
Young Avengers!
20.) Favorite fic you've ever written?
This is ever changing. While I probably go back and read it's a gift to be truly known the most, I love a single slow desire for it being the best, biggest world building I've done. Plus it's f/f and I need more of that in my writing life
I think everyone ever has been tagged already, but if not! Tags for you: @afoundling @happybean17 @tired-bshocked @goddammitjim

Fic author interview! Thank you @vampirenaomi for the tag! I'm a bit late to the party, sorry.
Tagging @crimetimesteadicam, @dandunn and @carriagelamp!
1 How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 48 works there, and there's a few (including my very first long fic and very first NaNoWriMo novel) that are only on Fanfiction.net.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
562,503 words total. To be honest, considering the amount of long fics I've written, I'm a little surprised it isn't higher, but also I'm bad at estimation.
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Treasures of time - JigLup one-shot, emotional angst with a happy ending (221 kudos)
Up in the mountains - JiGoe getting together (197 kudos)
In the middle Part 2 - Polygang getting together (150 kudos)
We are beginning - Goemon POV Polygang fluff drabble (140 kudos)
How to make a gunman snap - JigLup not-quite-porn-without-a-plot one-shot (133 kudos)
It's mostly one-shots and old-ish long fics, which I am a bit surprised about - but then again, they have had more time to collect kudos.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! Unless a comment is just two words and I don't know what to answer, I always reply, at least to say thank you.
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don't really write angsty ending. The closest to an angsty ending would be Adieu (a Netflix Lupin alternate ending one-shot).
EDIT I forgot about my entire MorMor period skjlsjkldjkl so yeah my angstiest fic is Bang Bang, a MorMor post-Reichenbach one-shot based on the song by Nancy Sinatra.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
They all end well, so I can't really designate a specific one.
7. Do you write crossovers?
I've written I think one crossover ever, a Discworld/Harry Potter fic way back in the day. I'm not gonna link it because it was bad, but it's on my AO3 if you're interested and you can read French.
However I have a BUNCH of AUs that I haven't written up into fics: Lupin III/Discworld, Lupin III/Ewilan's Quest, and an ooooooold MorMor (or Mor4)/X-Men AU that I did write a couple of unpublished one-shots for.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I haven't, thankfully!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I've written one smut scene several years ago, it was very difficult and awkward to do, but in retrospect I think the result was alright. I'm planning to try again. The past try and the upcoming one are both scenes in longer plotty fics, I've never written PWPs.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've translated my own fics (usually from French to English)
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven't; but I did co-write half of an original novel with my best friend, and the possibility of finishing it isn't off the table.
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
LUPIN III POLYGANG. And all variations thereof.
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I started a Lupin III Polygang soulmate AU fic, I really want to carry on with it because I love that specific soulmate concept, but I don't really have a plan for what's going to happen in it; and wouldn't you know it, it's waaaayy more difficult to write a soulmate AU fic for five people than for two.
15. What are your writing strengths?
I think dialogue and banter; when I get in the right frame of mind, it practically writes itself. I'm pretty good at writing pacing in action scenes I think.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
I tend to write looooooong paragraphs about character's feelings that kind of get out of hand.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I love doing it, and including foreign words, but I have to restrain myself otherwise my fics would be unreadable.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Discworld. I discovered fanfiction through a Discworld forum. Although to be honest, I think the first thing I ever wrote that qualified as fanfic was the begining and vague plot outline of a self-insert isekai next-gen story in the universe of Ewilan's Quest, my childhood favourite book series. Ewilan's Quest was a huge and formative part of my childhood, and the reason I wanted to become a writer as a kid. And Discworld was my favourite novel series after that, and it solidified my desire to write stories. Both series are still very dear to me; so it's unsurprising, and very fitting, that my introduction to fanfic and writing was these two fandoms.
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
I'd like to write a Zenigen fic, if I ever find a precise idea for it.
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
That tends to change a lot. Lately, it would be Become, a one-shot about Lupin's journey of finding out he's trans after meeting Jigen; and Hanafuda, my ongoing WIP, a JiGoe florist/tattooist AU where Jigen and Goemon both quit crime before they met and are trying to juggle between their new normal lives, their dark pasts, and what they really want out of life... and their pesky little feelings for each other.

For the longest time I only wrote for Star Trek AOS; with a fleeting dip into Sherlock. Then this year I started writing Star Trek Picard, and that led me down a rabbit hole to The Musketeers, so now I'm writing that too.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Though My Soul May Set in Darkness Pike/McCoy/Kirk (ST:AOS)
Of Hopes and Fears and Twilight Fantasies Pike/McCoy/Kirk (ST:AOS)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always try to. Occasionally I will miss one, especially if it's on an old story, but I will try to get to those eventually. Comments are life.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
If This is Goodbye (ST:AOS)- a canon-compliant Pike/Boyce story set around Star Trek into Darkness, it makes people cry. Hell, it still makes me cry.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Done With Bonaparte (ST:AOS) The Pike/Boyce story that is an alternate ending to Into Darkness, defies canon and lets Chris live.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not so far and I've been doing this for decades.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Smut is pretty much my go to genre. My entire Weight of a Man Series is a glorious smut fest - with a lot of relationship-building. I am a little more into hurt/comfort right now, but there is a lot of smut built into the "comfort" part.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I do not, I generally can't write in more than one fandom at a time and now that I find myself equally obsessed with ST:Picard and The Musketeers I can't honestly figure out a way to do a crossover with them (I know, failure of imagination).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
My very first foray into fan fiction (long before the internet) was a round-robin story with three school friends that we kept going for five years (I still have the notebooks). It was based on The Quest - a very short lived US Western series with a gorgeous young Tim Matheson and equally cute Kurt Russell.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
If you look at my output it's clearly Pike/Boyce (ST:AOS). And they will always be my boys. But right now I'm all things Aramis and Aramis-in-space which has me shipping Rios/Shaw and Aramis/Athos and I think that will sustain my writing for quite a while.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I really don't like to abandon stories and that's why until recently I never posted anything until it was finished. So anything I have started on AO3 will get finished eventually. However, I have stuff in my WIP folder that might never see the light of day, including an early-career Pike/Boyce that is mostly written.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Details, I do details really well, I like to feel immersed in a place or a situation and I do that by giving as many details as feel appropriate for the story. Sometimes that requires a lot of research, especially for Star Trek, but it all adds to the texture of the story.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Adjectives - I use too many of them. I also have a tendency to have way too many run on sentences. Sometimes that's necessary for the pacing of the story, but I always consciously look for them when I'm editing so I can see if I can rework them to be more manageable.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've only really started doing this with Aramis/Rios and I still don't do much of it, just to make a point. The context usually provides clues to the meaning, and if not then I write the meaning into the text somewhere.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First - The Quest, and Blake's 7 - For public consumption, Star Trek AOS (first on Livejournal and then AO3)
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
Winged Desires and Veiled Persuasions (ST:AOS) Pike/Boyce/McCoy I wrote it in a gift-exchange for my fabulous beta, and it just came together and works in a way that stories rarely do. It's a perfect little threesome smut-fest with lots of feelings.
If you’re reading this and want to play, I hereby tag you with no pressure. 🥳

20 Questions For Writers
Yay, thank's for the tag @sinvulkt! I've seen this going round and been hoping to participate.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
21
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
81,221 words! That's basically a novel, although split out across many shorter works.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Almost all my works are Star Wars (Luke & Vader or occasionally prequals Anakin), then DC (Superman). I only have one fic about Superman posted, but I do have quite a few drafts about him.
I also try to write origional works, but I find it a lot harder to create something I feel is as compelling without having 'the iceberg of canon' beneath it. (Granted I've made a lot of progress on trying to write origional works since I started writing fanfic.)
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Operation CHEER LUKE UP AFTER BESPIN (Star Wars OT)
282 kudos
This was the first fic I ever posted. I do want to finish this one, but I'm currently facing a challenging plothole, so I keep waiting till I've finished up whatever other WIP I'm working on, and then after finishing a WIP I want a break before coming back to writing a fic again, except that after a break I come up with another WIP idea…
2. Whose Propaganda is it Anyway? (Star Wars OT)
134 kudos
I'm surprised this beat Mistaken Son-dentity, given that it gets quite serious toward the end. But rereading it again I forgot how fun the first part was, and the way the first line eches the last.
3. Mistaken Son-dentity (Star Wars OT)
120 kudos
I love the crack in this one, I often think back on it if I need a way to cheer myself up but don't have access to my Ao3 bookmarks (given that I wrote it it's much easier to play in my head).
4. Skeptics of the Force (Star Wars OT)
119 kudos
I'm very proud of this one. It's the longest thing I've ever finished, and it grew from what I thought would be 7,000 words to 36,000 words. I edit very slowly so that was a Marathon! The plot and foreshadowing was very complex, so by the end it I was playing whack-a-mole with all the inconsistencies.
5. Hide (Star Wars OT)
111 kudos
I'm surprised this one was so well loved, it's very short and I was hesitant to post it because it felt a bit unfinished and like just the start of something. So I'm glad I did!
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, occasionally I miss some but in general I try to keep up with them. If someone gives me unsolicited constructive critisim I generally don't reply, but I'm reluctant to delete their comment.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmm. So there are several top contenders:
Initially I thought The Haunting of Order-66 might be it, but then I realised that while that was one of the angster ones, it actually had quite a hopeful ending.
Alone is sad, but I don't quite feel it has the gut punch to be the top contender.
Ghost is also pretty up there, but I'd say the ending leans more into horror than 'angst'.
The above two lean into 'not getting there in time', but I think the betrayal in 'Can't Go Home' elevates the angst to another level. (I double-checked The Right Hand of Justice because it Very Much explores betrayal, but the acceptance and teeny tiny thread of hope laced into the end knocks it from first place.)
So Can't Go Home is the winner!
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Hmm. I think Rivers of Lava, Rivers of Life has a beautiful ending.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
There's a lot of imaginary hate in my head when I'm working through those last few edits before I post something 😅. Occasionally people have said they didn't like some of the ways my characters behaved, but I think it's mostly just being annoyed at them, not at the fic.
9. Do you write smut?
I don't have any posted, but there is some in my drafts. If I edited some I'm not sure if I'd post it under this account or make another I keep separate.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Sort of. I stumbled across the song 'I Know Those Eyes/This Man is Dead' (from The Count of Monte Cristo musical) and instantly went 'This has EPIC Vader/Padme reunion vibes. I promptly went and wrote a fic based on those vibes alone, and then after I finished I watched a film adaptation and read the book so I finally knew what was going on (because I knew if I looked up what was happening before I wrote the fic my perfectionism would get in the way and I'd never end up writing it).
Now, after reading the giant tome that was The Count of Monte Cristo I have an idea for a more accurate crossover called 'The Sith of Monte Cristo,' but (as I predicted) I feel too overwhelmed to write that one.
In addition, when I read Hamlet last year for the first time in my life, I was entranced and sketched out a Luke!Hamlet AU, but I also feel like that might be quite a bit of work so I haven't been motivated enough to write that either.
Finally, The Right Hand of Justice technically falls into the crossover category on Ao3, but it doesn't feel like a myth retelling makes sense to label a 'Crossover'.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
If Ao3 ever been scraped as a dataset into a Large-Language-Model.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not yet, I can only speak one language. Feel free to offer if you'd like to translate one of mine, though!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Not yet!
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
Um, does 'Superman/anyone' count? I love Clois, but sometimes I wish there were more AUs so it wasn't just Superman/Reporter all the time. I also love a good Clex, the enimies-to-lovers angst is delicious. I am super down for Superbat - it has the double the Identity Shennagins from Clois with a light dose of the Enimies-To-Lovers angst from Clex.
However, this might be weird, but I'm really, really down for Superman/Female Origional Character, just someone fun and quirky and quite fleshed out but a bit different to Lois's personality (because I have read mountains and mountins of Clois and while it's amazing I sometimes get a little bored of the narrowness of reporter life and the 'in love with Superman, in friends with Clark' tropes). I have a few drafts of this, but then I worry that a female OC in fandom won't be very popular so I don't clean them up 😅
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Um. Um. I mean I want to finish 'Cheer Luke Up' and I will, okay, I will. It just could possibly take up to quite a number of years before I get back into it. I'm getting faster at editing, so one day it might not take that much work to finish up. I think it's just past the half-way point at the moment.
16. What’s your writing strengths?
I'm really proud of a lot of the cosmic horror I've done! I think it has a great sense of a slow buildup of dread, and then some really unique and otherworldly horrors, tinged with just the right amount of wonder and awe.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Perfectionism. The initial draft isn't too hard, but it usually takes at a minimum a full week of being mostly focused on it to months for anything above 5k words. It tends to exhaust and frustrate me so much.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Haven't done it yet (unless you count me makeing up stuff that sounds like Latin or outright using Latin in one or two sentences). As long as it fits well, but I think excessive use of it could frustrate the reader.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Star Wars Origional Trilogy
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Aaaaaahh. I think Stride of Terror is an awesome 'Vader captures Luke' fic, 'Cheer Luke Up' is the silliest, wildest, unhinged crack, Skeptics of the Force gazes into the abyss, and The Sith in Yellow is a really impressive piece of cosmic horror.
I'm going to say Skeptics of the Force, because out of all my fics when I think about how to bind one into a book it's that one that I want the most.

Tagged by @suspiciouspopsicle and @auncyen
Tagging anyone who wants to do it!!
template:
how many works do you have on ao3?
50 as of typing this!
what's your total ao3 word count?
872,232 (but I've definitely written about 450,000 more of works finished just not posted)
what fandoms do you write for?
Currently, just Octopath Traveler 2, previously for Tales of Vesperia
what are your top five fics by kudos?
It doesn't really surprise me, but I definitely feel the quality in these works versus one's I've written this year.
The Forest of Memories (452) - A Robin Hood AU for Tales of Vesperia where Flynn is the Sheriff of Nothingham, newly returned from the crusades, and Yuri is Robin Hood.
No Such Thing As Fate (322) - A complete retelling of Tales of Vesperia with the premise that Yuri and Flynn hadn't been friends as children and it had drastically changed certain events. Has two different ending.
Legacy (241) - Tales of Vesperia post canon fic where a cult that followed Alexei change's Yuri life by giving him a blastia heart.
Blue Plate Special (171) - A Super Hero/Cafe AU where Flynn is a cop who frequents the coffee shop Yuri owns, and likes him and his super hero counterpart True Knight.
The Knight of Vesperia (159) - Tales of Vesperia post canon fic where Yuri disappears one year after the events of the game and Flynn has to find out why.
(The Prince and the Magpie is my very next one with 130 Kudos)
do you respond to comments?
I do my best to! Sometimes I don't know what to say, but I appreciate it.
what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
No Such Thing As Fate Ending # 2
what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I work for happy endings, so there's a lot of them. The Happiest would probably have to be either No Such Thing As Fate Ending #1, or The Prince and the Magpie
do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten some comments that came across as rude, but it wasn't a big deal.
do you write smut? if so, what kind?
Most of what I've written that's on AO3 as smut goes is fairly vanilla. Noteably I've written 3 'sets'. An aphrodiac trope set of 2 fics, a slightly kinky bdsm maid fics (3 total), and a 5 part set dealing with the aftermaths of Hikari and Partitio's chapter events from chapters 3+. Both of my big Fluri fics (Legacy and No Such Thing as Fate0, but there are scenes, but there's also a plot. Pas de Deux is similar.
do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you've written?
No crossovers persay. I did write a very large Tales of Vesperia/Homestuck fusion (about 380k words) but I don't know that I'll ever posted it.
have you ever had a fic stolen?
I had a few that were reposted (I think on wattpad) and I had to go and get them down.
have you ever had a fic translated?
I was asked about a Chinese translation of A Helping Hand, but I don't know what ever came of it.
have you ever co-written a fic before?
@suspiciouspopsicle and I wrote Paper Stack, a 1920s Tales of Vesperia AU, and Brave Pizzeria, a Tales of Vesperia Modern AU around them being workers in vastly different restaurants and finding love through some pretty interesting circumstances.
what's your all-time favorite ship?
ouuhghg don't me choose....
what's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I'm really not sure. Probably never finish editing the Vesperia/Homestuck fusion.
what are your writing strengths?
Coming up with ideas, playing with metaphor
what are your writing weaknesses?
Story and story beats, coming up with titles
thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've done binary and code64, but I suppose you mean spoken languages. I can't say I remember doing it. i would want to be so particular about it being perfect.
first fandom you wrote for?
GOD, probably Final Fantasy 6 (it would have been Locke/Celes)
favorite fic you've ever written?
Right now, it's definitely The Prince and the Magpie, but No Such Thing As Fate is a close second.
#writing meme#Wish I had more hands to write fic#My Octopath stuff is definitely better quality than my Tales of Vesperia stuff ever was#but there's still a lot of Vesperia stuff that I loved writing#sorry if some of this doesn't make sense I'm under some influences

hi!! i'm a fan of your fics and your writing and im so curious to know your writing process? like, how you outline, the programs you use to organize chapters, etc etc. would u be willing to explain it? i've been trying to organize my stories better and u seem to have a great grasp on it. i'm also willing to come off anon if you'd prefer to answer privately or smthn lol!
hi!!! thank you so much!!!! i have no problem explaining everything here, no worries! i'm happy to talk about it if it'll help out others ^_^ it'll be under the cut since this got long... sorry T_T
so, for me, when it comes to fic ideas, i usually know it's something feasible if i have more than a few scenes in mind, along with maybe some pieces of dialogue, and i know i can sit down and actually outline. for, say, wwt, i got that idea when i was writing dgfh and i knew immediately it was something i wanted to do and go in more depth on. (but some stuff is just a passing interest that i can talk about it but not something that i can actually do, if that makes any sense? like when i'm done talking about it, that's pretty much it.)
then with outlining, i like a concrete layout for things. i tend to have my outlines in notion for quick reference anywhere. i have a specific brainstorming template that i used for frmb, dgfh, wwt, and the others and it looks like this
(this can be edited, of course, with things added and things removed) another part of my process -- i tend to need a general scope of the landscape but it's not as hard as it seems. usually i just google [city name] neighborhoods and i'll have the city itself pulled up in maps or something to get a handle on directions.
aside from that, i've also found it incredibly helpful to outline/write out specific beginnings and endings. the beginnings are easier but endings are wayyyy harder and i know i need to put something done otherwise it might not come together how i want it. it's not necessarily a specific point, but rather more of a scene, like a vision for the end.
(i don't know if ANY of this makes sense btw so if you have any more questions, please feel free to let me know!)
but ok, back to outlining. one thing for me that i did for wwt and then again with that new tim fic (that i still need to make an acronym for...) is that i actually wrote out a rough outline in my journal and then i copied it to notion and elaborated more on certain points as more ideas came to me.
sometimes i have the urge to outline strictly in notion -- which is what happened with frmb -- but other times i like to actually write things out and then i'll copy it to notion just because i don't always have my journal.
alongside this, i also love making playlists! playlists are soooo central for my fics! genuinely i can't have a fic without a playlist LOL.
once all of that is fulfilled -- i can start writing! for me, i use a combination of google docs and a writing program called scrivener. google docs is mostly for when i'm writing on my phone. when i'm on my laptop, i will use scrivener 95% of the time.
i bought and downloaded scrivener from here. it's $59 USD but they have an education discount that's based on an honor system, so you don't even have to be a student/prove you are a student and it's $50 USD.
the good thing about scrivener, though, is you're buying a license to it, which means once you buy it, it's yours forever. no subscription nonsense or anything, which i really like. for that, i think it's super super worth it to get it. i also think, with all the capabilities scrivener has (which i'll get into), it's not as expensive as it could be. but of course, it still is an expense, but i've had it for four/five years now and it's absolutely paid for itself.
so, within project files, you can do things like set word count goals for chapters, keep track of your statistics and writing history, organize folders, etc etc. this is what frmb's project file looks like
and i kept dgfh and wwt in one project file since they weren't that long/big on their own, so this is what their project file looks like
there is just. SO MUCH you can do and i haven't even really figured out how to use everything or what tools there are. literally right now as i'm typing this and clicking around on scrivener, i apparently discovered that it has. a whole ass name generator
this certainly could've have come in handy earlier.... but now i know. and now you and everyone else knows! so. i write primarily in here and i also do my editing here. i won't get into the editing but scrivener also has a tool that lets you compile chapters into an epub file, which i've utilized to edit/read much more closely in book format.
so that's really it. i use notion for outlining and then i use scrivener for writing and organizing everything else! i hope this answered your question and i'm terribly sorry this got so long but if you have any other questions/i didn't cover something, feel free to let me know ^_^ i don't mind at all!
#actually quite excited about the name generator#i often need a throwaway name sometimes and it becomes this whole thing of me taking time to google stuff LOL#so now i can just use them... thanks anon 🫡 i would not have discovered it without this ask#inbox#anonymous

2022 Fic Recap
At the beginning of 2022 I told myself I wanted to write more and publish less. This was to allot myself time to work on longer projects I had sitting on the back burner.
Fast forward to the end of the year, and I definitely feel proud of what I've accomplished. If I had my way entirely, I would have made more progress on ongoing fics and WIPs, but you can't have everything. I'm super happy to have participated in MayBlade - it makes up about 99% of my content for 2022. 😅 I look forward to working it (and the baby bout of burnout that follows) into my writing plans for next year.
Before I get into that though, here's a super quick recap of fics I updated or published in 2022.
❖
Bliss
Summary: Life isn't always easy, but there's a certain bliss in tackling it together that makes everything worthwhile.
Pairing: Max/Mariam
Chapters: 5/15
Words: 28,911 (so far)
Rated: T
Chapter 5 (Undecided) is the one addition to Bliss I managed to make this year. I remember spending January and February agonizing over it, only to still need most of March to finish it. Considering it's about 12k words and not the original idea I had for this chapter, I don't feel so silly. I hope to update more this year. 🤞🏻
As a reminder to anyone following it: Bliss is a little jaunt through Max and Mariam's relationship as adults, including plenty of cute domestic moments to make my heart happy and some big conversations/milestones for them to navigate. (Latest chapter is a doozy of a conversation.)
Since starting it, I have mentally had it separated into three loose sections: 1) Boyfriend and Girlfriend, 2) Engaged/Newlyweds, 3) Expanding the Family/Married with Kids. I plan on still following that for the most part, but the sections may not be equal in length. That's mostly because I doubt, in my limited audience, many people have an interest in their children or life past a certain point? Just feel like everyone's headcanons are probably so different for things like that. We'll see how we go lol. This is a very self-indulgent fic, so I'll weigh any feedback I get against that knowledge.
❖
Just A Moment
Summary: A collection for MayBlade 2022 (and beyond).
Pairing: Multiple
Chapters: 31/31
Words: 48,864
Rated: Varies (everything from K to M)
This fic is the one that took up all my mental capacity for the year. I loved working out the prompts for this and challenging myself to write without overthinking as much. I'm sure there are some prompts that I could have executed better if I took all the time in the world on them, but when I reread them I don't hate how any of them turned out.
I did struggle to keep up with the intense write, edit, update cycle on a daily basis. I found that if I had anything planned on a weekend, then I didn't get as much writing done as I would have liked and it set me behind. I don't know if that means I need to give myself a SUPER strict word count restraint (I tried, but some prompts got longer than I intended), or if I just need to start earlier next year. One thing I don't want to do is restrict my character usage. I wrote about a lot of characters I've never utilized before in this fic and I enjoyed testing myself, even if it's one of the things that made the event more time consuming for me.
The last five chapters of this took me forever to finish and upload. I feel like I lost so much steam pushing myself so hard throughout the month of May, that I needed time to recoup. I took more time than I strictly needed, and I want to find some way to combat that if MayBlade happens in 2023. Tbh, I also felt some discouragement after the event was over, knowing the last few chapters weren't going to get as much feedback after everyone else was done with MayBlade. But I always knew I was going to finish for myself, and that's what I did and I'm SO HAPPY!
This is also a fic I love to look at the stats for. Different chapters did better on FFN versus tumblr, and I enjoy comparing notes and reviews and seeing what people had to say. I get imposter syndrome really bad, where I think I suck at writing and should quit, but this fic gives me some proof that it depends on what I write about and who happens to see it. It's nice to be seen and have a little validation sometimes.
On another note: I plan on posting an index of sorts for Just A Moment, since each chapter is so different. If anyone is hunting it down in the future (i.e. me) it will be linked HERE when it's finished, as well as on my tags page. ♥
❖
And that's 2022! This year went by in the blink of an eye! I know they say time goes faster as you get older, but I thought I had at least a few years left before it would go this fast.
All things considered, I'm proud of what I accomplished this year. It may be a little list of two fics, but there's 32 updates between them, so I won't complain.
For 2023, I want to update Bliss (at least once or twice), participate in MayBlade 2023 (without disappearing off the face of the earth for months afterwards), and work on/complete some WIPs (especially a multichaptered one I've had in the works for a while now).
It sounds like a tall order, but I'll do my best to push myself. If 2023 is anything like the last couple years, I'll make myself proud one way or another. I'm excited to see where next year takes me, and forever grateful to have anybody reading this or following my stories along for the ride. ♥

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks for the tag, @flowerparrish! :D
How many works do you have on ao3?
213, but somewhere between like 85 and 100 of those are just images.
What’s your total ao3 word count?
1,049,952
What fandoms do you write for?
Clone Wars
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Many of the top works are art-only, but if I sort through, looks like most of the fics are those that I have never reread or re-edited, so 😬
That’s Not How It Happened (This Is How It Happened) - My first fic, which I have re-edited since first posting it. Chip arc fix-it
Orbital Decay - Haven't touched this since I posted it. Codywan
Modulation - Also don't think I've re-edited this at all. Echo/Fives
Will You Walk With Me? - The only one of the top five that I care much about XD; Waxer and Boil (platonic or pre-relationship)
Kintsugi - Not re-edited. Codywan
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes! I love replying to comments with my usual unhinged yammering :D
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending
You're Just Harder to See Than Most, but it's part of a larger series where the sad stuff in this gets better. As a stand-alone, though, it's very angsty 🙈
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Hah, so many XD Maybe Count Every Beautiful Thing?
Do you get hate on fics?
No, I've only gotten it for art, and thankfully AO3 isn't infested with pearl-clutching busybodies like Tumblr is, so I've only had one (honestly hilarious) hate comment there. It was on like the 6th chapter of a a very clearly tagged sketch dump in which several of the previous chapters were fairly explicit smut. And then on that last chapter, the person was like "Ew, they're brothers! This is disgusting." Hah, okay pal, seems like you were really enjoying it if you got to chapter 6. 🤣
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Sure do! Uh, a variety, I guess, though I suppose I haven't written anything that would be considered heavy kink?
Do you write crossovers?
Nope
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of, but I've had TONS of art stolen.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes!
What’s your all-time favorite ship?
This is very hard to answer because I tend to latch onto ships for many years at a time. But no other characters before the clones ever inspired me to write fics, so I'll go with Waxer/Boil 🧡
What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I have an AU fic where the war ends shortly after Geonosis that I really want to write but can't make the brain go very well on it, for some reason. I have pages and pages of notes, some sketches, and like a chapter and a half drafted, but I keep getting stuck. I wouldn't say that I doubt I'll ever finish it, though. I probably just have to shake things around to knock loose whatever is gunked up.
What are your writing strengths?
Maybe natural dialogue?
What are your writing weaknesses?
I want to describe all the things. I want to put what I see in my head into your eyeballs. But I also tend to over-describe like, logistic-type stuff, I think—stuff that no one but me cares about XD
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Like a real language or a conlang? I don't know any of either well enough to include much of them in my fics, but when I use a bit of Ryl (which I've largely made up), I really limit it because I get annoyed when there's a ton of conlang in fics I'm trying to read. Scrolling to the end notes constantly is not very fun.
First fandom you wrote for?
Clone Wars
Favorite fic you’ve written?
Hmm, well I have a soft spot for Will You Walk With Me? but I think my two objectively best fics are My Heart's Red Muscle (78K Waxer/Boil cyborg AU) and We Could Breathe Underwater (5K Force-sensitive Waxer/Boil).
That was fun!

And because I always long for a blank version of these tag things to copy/paste, just the questions below the cut:
How many works do you have on ao3?
What’s your total ao3 word count?
What fandoms do you write for?
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Do you get hate on fics?
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Do you write crossovers?
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
What’s your all-time favorite ship?
What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
What are your writing strengths?
What are your writing weaknesses?
