I was tagged by @marypsue Which is great because I was looking for a way to procrastinate my actual WIPs tonight!

Name: GretchenSinister, here and on AO3

Fandoms: Rise of the Guardians, mostly, with random forays into other stuff like Venom or Thor. I have a thing to say about Phantom of the Opera and I really hope I manage it. I’ve made costumes for Over the Garden Wall and the game Journey.

Two-shot: At first I was like, DO I have any two-chapter stories? I’m the kind of person who either provides like, a novel with mainstream chapter lengths, or looks at something that’s 20k, 30k words and is like “it just doesn’t split up into chapters.” (Ao3’s line break yes, I’m not that experimental.) But as it turns out I do have this two-shot, “The Magician Wife and the Heart of Lead,” which is fairy-tale styled Pitch/Sandy including elements of the Cupid and Psyche myth as well as East of the Sun and West of the Moon. It exists as two chapters on Ao3 because I posted it in two chapters on tumblr, because I wanted to post something daily for a Blacksand week, and couldn’t finish writing the whole thing in one day.

Most popular multi-chapter: Based on hits, it’s “Without Contraries There Is No Progression,” which I would call a moderate-burn movie-verse blacksand fic. Of course, the number of hits is also a function of time, since if I’m doing the math correctly this has been out for eight and a half years; it was the first fic I published on Ao3.

Actual worst part of writing: When you try to be sneaky with yourself and fail! I have had multiple instances where characters are having a conversation alluding to some secret, and I didn’t write myself a note about what they were referring to…and then I had to take a break from writing the story. And then when I came back I had to be like, “huh. sure would like to find out where this mysterious thread is leading” but I CAN’T because I’M supposed to be the one setting up the mystery! I am 100% sure plots have changed because I didn’t remember where I was going. I’ve no-spoilered my own stories to the degree that what I was hiding from myself is lost forever. I don’t put anything out there that I think is bad, but I sometimes wonder what could have been. I leave myself many more notes than I used to.

How you choose your titles: Main story element or oblique reference to a main story element/theme. Rarely poem lines or song lyrics. I like to read books where a title drop will make me go ooooooh, so I try to do that when I get a chance.

Do you outline: Sometimes, but not very effectively, as a thing I’m writing now has an “outline” where a point could take 1 paragraph and then another point could take multiple pages.

Ideas you probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice: Would require some messing with dates, but—Matilda (teenage) and Miss Honey find Carrie before she dies and take her back to their place and help her heal.

Callouts @ yourself: Remember when you wrote short things? And finished them?

Best writing traits: I’ve been told that my dialogue is good. I’d also like to think I’m good at submerging a reader in a scene/image/mood but APPARENTLY the equivalent of just standing in a forest and looking at the trees for fifteen minutes is not what the people want. (This evaluation based on a couple of grad school writing workshops. I couldn’t say anything during the discussion but in my head I was like…okay you don’t like it but I 100% did that on purpose.)

Spicy tangential opinion: When it comes to queer experiences, fantastical/metaphorical representation often has a lot more power to it than literal representation that makes it into the mainstream.

No pressure tagging: @alienfuckeronmain, @incurablenecromantic @rachie-neyiea, really if you write fic feel free to claim that I tagged you (and then tag me in your reply, I’d love to read about people’s processes while putting off other things).

@duckyboos-blog and @wantstoflyafraidtofall have tagged me to share every title in my wip folder. thank you!! but strap in, because there’s a lot:

we’ll go in reverse chronological order, because at the beginning of all this i never would have imagined i’d write so much and my organization was...troubling.

somewhere my sins don’t stretch: an outlaw au coming soon to an ao3 near you? i am really hoping to finish this one up sometime in the near future, but if the story has anything to say about it, i’m going to end up writing another 30k words, so we will see

cas and cain: did cas sound wistful talking about cain to anyone else? just me? okay. i take a firm stance that they definitely knew each other. you’re trying to tell me cas wouldn’t have been talking to the second generation of humanity? get outta here

cas & kelly: are we sensing a theme yet? i really love their friendship a lot. lmao i opened this one up and i literally have one sentence written and that is it. who knows where i was going with that one

jesse/cesar: i love cesar more than i have words for, i am obsessed by the idea of their backstory

wrestling: get ready for my dcbb, i am sooo excited. putting the spit shine on this one!

okay, brief foray into the witcher:

5+1: 5 times Geralt saw Jaskier naked, and 1 time Geralt saw Jaskier naked

announcer jaskier: geralt is a wrestler, and, is it just him or does this announcer compliment his looks and moves more than he does for everyone else?

charlotte!jaskier: jaskier is a widower in the woods, whose spouse was gung ho about moving there and died shortly afterwards. Jaskier’s so hopeless that if Geralt doesn’t help him, he’s sure Jaskier won’t be too far behind. Obviously he can’t let that happen.

jaskier and roach: i am such a sucker for hurt comfort that i am going to hurt the horse. i am a monster.

outsider pov: “I saw your son was visiting you. How is he?” Angela asks, out of a sense of neighborly obligation, the next time she sees Jaskier at the marketJaskier sighs, and Angela instantly feels sorry, thinking it was a subject she maybe shouldn’t have broached. “I’m his sugar daddy, actually.” This is what Angela gets for being polite. ‘nuff said

the coast: exactly what it sounds like, geralt becomes a horse farmer and jaskier pulls his hair out at the ever expanding zoo he finds himself in. pure fluff

too different to endure: geralt sad boi hours

back to supernatural, this is starting to get into my old old stuff, let me blow off the dust

mary fic: what do mary and cas talk about in 12x02? i am dying to know

worst cooks: worst cooks in america au where dean and cas are judges and cas is a prickly little SOB. dean is an unbearable ray of sunshine. i really need to keep writing this one, it is actually pretty good

bring him peace: obligatory mcd story, i want to write this one for the end of the series

end verse: another nice one with one sentence, but this one’s plotted out on my story bulletin board that my cat likes to try and eat

comedy of errors: dean is a baker, cas has a twin... i really just want to write something funny

food safety culture: edited the 100k words of this at work, so i had to have a relevant title lol. dean and cas have been together since purgatory, and it’s totally canon compliant. i’m begging the writers to bones us, that’s my dream

okay now here is the beginning of my fic writing career, cry with me at what i titled these:

fic 10: yes, i really numbered them. this is some angsty shit about dean’s scars. back when i was angsty teenager. now i’m just angsty

fic 8: remember that one tumblr post about the little toddler calling ducks fucks? yeah

fic 6: dean is a resident hall director and cas is a food science professor who likes to talk about molecules.

fic 3: obligatory dean rescues a cat story

(fic 1, 2, and 9 have been posted and 4 and 5 don’t exist? i don’t even know, honestly)

this was a lot of fun to revisit some of these that i haven’t opened in forever! thanks for tagging me!! (we won’t get into my stack of index cards with plots on them... but trucker dean is one of them)

anyway, if anyone else wants to tackle this undertaking, feel free to share with me! @witcher-and-his-bard @good-things-do-happen-dean @amyoatmeal @chill-legilimens if you wanna?

#tag games #this is actually a lot less than i expected #seems like i can finish some things after all #thank you!

JB Fav Fics

Ages ago, I reblogged @chickren‘s post (from 2013!) and I promised to give it a shot but got all tied up with my dissertation and my own fic. Now that my dissertation is done, I HAVE COMPLETED THIS. Bear in mind these answers might be a bit ‘dated’ as well (by a few months) because I’ve not been reading much fic on my end. Turns out when I’m writing my own, I can only hold one version of J/B in my head.

Anyway this list is LONG AND TOOK ME FOREVER and I also wrote comments because I can’t help myself. So everything is under the cut. I took out the Shuffled Challenge one (very 2013 lol) and I replaced it with a category called... favourite S8 fix-it. Can you believe it? After I made all this noise about not being able to read fix-its?

[J/B Fic Recs: Master Post if anyone needs it before we start things off]

Favourite fic set immediately after ADWD Second to fucking none: Honor Thy Regard by SigilBroken Nights Without Armor by bratanimus

Favourite fic set a long time after ADWD Oh. Salt Wife by Lady_in_Red. Breathtaking simplicity.

Favourite TV canon fic Pretty and Traveling Far by astolat A Man for All Seasons by dreadwulf

Favourite S8 fix-it Yes, I know. I can’t deal with fix-its. And yet. Ice by Gwen77 Ring Them Bells by kirazi Battle is the Great Redeemer by Lady_In_Red

Favourite modern AU Clean hands by you-know-who (... it’s Gwen77) + all the classics: Fever by Lady_In_Red On the Night’s Watch by Miss_M It’s Like Weather by ssstrychnine Beast and the Beast by SigilBroken And of course our recent fandom favourite: two halves of a soul by angel_deux

Favourite kiss (Don’t specify chapter) Okay this is kind of a random one but I remember re-reading Roommate Wanted by JustAGirl24 a couple months back, and when they finally kissed I wanted to freaking throw my phone across the room. It’s not even described in detail, it was just such a perfectly timed OMFG!!! THEY KISSED! moment.

Favourite smut Anything by Miss_M, good lord. My all-time favourite is Golden and True (modern AU, sequel to Ball and Chain), but for canon!verse it has to be Heart’s Desire and Spring Awakening. And obviously I have to say Flawed by francoeurs – smut exploring J/B’s Issues with a capital I? I’m THERE.

And for multi-chapter fic, Everyone Has Secrets by ellaria is fire. Oh and also, everyone’s favourite professor AU, Stacked by QuizzicalQuinnia.

Favourite UST On the Night’s Watch and Someone to Watch Over Me by Miss_M. I love that these two fics take place over such a short time (a few days) but they manage to feel like slow burns. That’s fucking skill right there.

Best written fic I hate this question. You want me to pick the best-written fic out of the FIVE THOUSAND J/B FICS ON AO3? Lmao I’m skipping.

Favourite fic with an unusual premise Multiverse central: All the Roads are Winding by ShirleyAnn66 In which Brienne can turn into a sea lion: This Is Your Wilderness by hardlyfatal GENDER SWAP: all knights are gallant and all maids are beautiful by janie_tangerine Jaime is a sculptor: Madonna of the Balcony by QuizzicalQuinnia Jaime does needlework: Hold This Threadbare Heart at Needlepoint by nire

Favourite action scene Words by astolat. The entire battle sequence.

Favourite dialogue Clean hands by Gwen77, Chapter 9. So cathartic, and SO MUCH HAPPENING. Not just J/B but Tyrion and Cersei on the phone too. I mean I just tried to re-read it to pick an excerpt (I can’t) and I already started crying lmao

Favourite characterization of Jaime A Man for All Seasons by dreadwulf. THE NUANCE. THE DETAIL.

Favourite characterization of Brienne Any fucking thing by Gwen77. Especially Clean hands, Diplomacy and Ice.

Favourite relationship development Where I follow, you’ll go by Lady_In_Red Beast and the Beast by SigilBroken, OBVIOUSLY It’s Like Weather by ssstrychnine Patience on a Monument by betts, even though they’re already friends, because betts makes me sit through Jaime/Sansa and Brienne/Tormund and yet I still re-read this.

Favourite use of non-typical character. Exclude these: Jaime, Brienne, Podrick, Hyle, Cersei, Sansa, Margaery, Tyrion, Daenerys, Selwyn, Tywin. Hmm this is a tough one. Maybe Loras the photographer in Living Fiction by Archetype_Electraheart

Favourite plot In This Light by SigilBroken for canon!verse endgame On the Night’s Watch by Miss_M and Everyone Has Secrets by ellaria for modern AU. I love J/B investigating stuff together.

Favourite title Nobody Knows / You Know and I Know by Miss_M “There’s a story,” Brienne says, “about a corrupt official who went to a sage and offered him to take part in a scheme, promising no one would ever know. ‘How can you say that?’ the sage replied. ‘I know, and you know, and the earth knows, and the sky knows.’”

Favourite WiP (finished or unfinished) With All Your Faults by seaspirit (close to the end!!!) The Descent by openmouthwideeye And this is finished but Tale As Old As Time by BrienneofThrace. She came back after like four years to finish it?! That alone is fandom magic.

Favourite long one-shot Pretty by astolat (wtf this is 30k?)

Favourite short one-shot OH MY GOD THE GLASSES FIC. Age Gap by ikkiM

Favourite drabble Mmmmm I don’t really read drabbles so I’ll skip this too.

Favourite beginning What is True, But Not Ideal by Vera: Jaime doesn’t appear for like four chapters and yet I was still on board.

Favourite ending IT’S FUCKING Clean hands by Gwen77 OKAY DON’T @ ME. Traveling Far by astolat – because she just Went There and gave J/B five kids The Sorrows That Women Cause by Mussimm (seventh and final part of Works and Days, in which they just... bang)

Favourite story twist more like the man you were meant to be by janie_tangerine. I mean, this isn’t really an internal twist, more like a twist on canon The Importance of Knocking by Miss_M, since it’s a story twist for Cersei lol.

Funniest story St George's Day by sansasparky The Best Legs You've Ever Seen by ikkiM

Favourite angst In the first version of this list I said I wouldn’t pick Gwen77 again for this one, and then I re-read Ice and cried my eyes out for like, the whole thing. Special mention for catherineflowers’ series We Need to Talk About…, because of how much she just commits entirely to some really dark stuff. It’s something I wouldn’t necessarily re-read, but just the audacity it took for her to write this is really impressive.

Favourite fluff The Higher Education of Brienne of Tarth and Drunken Shenanigans with Jaime and Brienne by BrienneofThrace. Anything by BrienneofThrace to be honest. She does the purest J/B. Also, Nothing That Is So, Is So by RoseHeart, and i get to be the other half of you + The 'Kiss Me' Series by sameboots.

Favourite Jaime line Yooooooo that part in Laying Siege by astolat when Jaime just launches into his wedding proposal: “I swear to you before these witnesses that I will protect Sansa Stark with my life, beside you. I will never take the field against her. I will take your name and your crest and your house as my own—”... I can feel myself being Brienne going WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

Favourite Brienne line Yeah yeah here I go picking Gwen77 again. The very last lines of all her fics always slay me, but this is the only line I can quote verbatim, from Diplomacy: “Trapped, he had said, worry in his voice. Ruined. She had never felt so free.”

Favourite general line or excerpt I love the way Gwen77 commits to the motif of walls in Ice. I freaked out about it here. And then after all that talk about Brienne building up her walls she just HITS US WITH THIS FINAL LINE:

“Jaime was hers, encircling, warm, solid as a wall. He would catch her if she fell.”

Favourite non-romantic fic The tale of Squire!Brienne series by LadyRhiyana

Favourite maiming adaptation in a modern AU Fever by Lady_In_Red, because I love how the whole story is built on Jaime learning how to ride again with a mangled hand

Favourite kidfic Not really a full-on kidfic, but You Know and I Know (sequel to Nobody Knows) for that Jaime & Tommen relationship, plus that conversation J/B have about having kids in future. Oh, and so brief, but Traveling Far by astolat.

Craziest scene that was in character and made sense (Don’t specify chapter) Let’s just go for the entirety of Stannis Baratheon, Fantasy Football League Commissioner by ikkiM AND THAT FUCKING J/B/C FIC THAT I READ BECAUSE I DIDN’T LOOK AT THE TAGS OKAY: Pride by astolat

Most underrated fic My Fall by TeamGwenee. Witches in 1600s colonial America AND in first person POV? IT WORKS THO. Such an interesting and original premise, and written in a very refreshing succinct style, and yet this multi-chapter fic has less than 200 kudos. Another one with less than 200 kudos: and you’ve whispered what I’m worth by angel_deux, a really lovely Mad Max: Fury Road AU.

Most desperate to see updated NO PRESSURE!!! for our world is cold and full of monsters by chancellor_valdez room service by ssstrychnine A Star Within the Mere by isavedlatin (sigh)

Favourite J/B as a secondary couple Some Kind of Family by crossingwinter

Most haunting Fool by astolat. I don’t know why. It’s a very beautiful story and it’s not even a bad ending for J/B necessarily, but the fact that it ends the way it does just really fucks me up. It’s the only fic in my bookmarks that I don’t think I can ever bear to re-read.

Favourite (friendship or hate) relationship between Jaime and another character One Of The Few Things by anniebibananie (Sansa) – I’m picking this just for the sheer I-can’t-believe-you-made-this-work-and-I-applaud-you factor

Favourite (friendship or hate) relationship between Brienne and another character What Is True, But Not Ideal by Vera (Tyrion)

(could light up new york city after dark)

I’ve been sitting on this mix in one form or another for years now, in the vain hope that I’d one day finish the accompanying fic. Several years and 30k of scattered scenes from a longfic later, and it’s still just... scattered scenes, and the oneshot that started it all. So! I figured I’d release it into the wild, in case there’s anyone still hanging around that remembers the fic fondly, or in case there’s new people who still somehow ship this, or honestly just if there’s anyone who likes good music on a convenient playlist. Regardless - enjoy!

@tertiusdecimusfilius continued from here.

The horrid connection made things hard to hear, much less comprehend. Silence persisted on the other end for a few moments, the only thing being heard were what could be described as rasps of breaths-- like the very vox spirits attempting to come forth were bleeding to death.

" m̢̍͑̌ ͯ̄ͬh̡ͫe̔̄̀ͬ̆̈́̉ ̨-̷̓̿͋̆̃̉ͪ- ̓rͪͨ̉eͥ͗̀!ͭ Ĝ̑͠ỏ̧̂́͛̌̎ ͣͣ͜n̎o͐̀̊͊̆̐rͨ̽ͧͦ̂͞tͬ̑̐͒̈́̎ͤh̾̈̃ͭ̌.͞ ͣͫ̐͆I̶ͭͩ̍͑̔̓ͨ ̢a̓̍̍ͤ̃m-- "

More crackling... but what would be left with the Lord-Commander was one last part of this mysterious message being ended with a single...

" B̴͊i͋ͦͧ̔͆ͬ̓̀gͤͨ ̾̾͜bͬͪr̿ͧ̑oth͢e̢r̓ͭ̆͑.̡̒̂́ "

And suddenly, the vox spirits were released from this odd hold, only bringing further confusion to the crew. Some tried to continue their duties, yet others would look to the Avenging Son for guidance. "My lord..." came the voice of one deck officer, voice quiet, " ... what should we do? It could very well be a trap. We cannot find the identifications of who they were... "

Some Ultramarines looked to each other-- but they were at the attention, ready for action alongside their Primarch.

"I am a tolerant man, but my patience has its limits." ((@tertiusdecimusfilius))

Threatening Sentences, Vol. 3

" Then you are not patient enough even now. " His telepathy echoed in the other's mind yet again, cold as can be while Aurelius stood near his brother. " You should know better than I that the Mechanicus's lack of innovation will choke the Imperium like a cobra-- and while artificial intelligence may not be the best if we look upon mankind's history, it is far more humane and efficient than using... what-- PEOPLE in their place? The reason the machine spirits act out is due to the person's mind reawakening! "

" And not just that-- but even Father's lack of diplomacy and waging war on everything not human will kill us one day. I can feel it-- I feel it within the very stars, brother. And yet I am deemed the villain by Father for wishing to see Mankind prosper? "

A scowl, and the helmed brother looked away. " I understand that what I am thinking of may be too much for the Imperium to handle at once, but if we are able to gradually reach it... I believe it could benefit the Imperium. And yet Father says if I continue such notions, I could be excommunicated. "

@the-emperorofmankind continued from here.

For the first time in a while, the Primarch was visibly enraged-- he ripped the bolts from his neck instead of the mindful twists and turns, his helmet removing with a hiss of depressurization as he nearly slammed it on the table just seconds after. Eyes blazed with an icy fury, his hands slamming down hard onto the war table.

" We could have negotiated with them-- we could have earned their trust and have even more aid in battle! Yet you... you...! " Aurelius threw his hands up, finally switching from his usual telepathic speech to actual utterances,

" What are you THINKING? We cannot rely SOLELY on war! We have resources to be mindful of, Father! We cannot pretend that we have everything in the universe and take it all by force if we don't! Why? I had been so close... so close to helping us figure out how we could have possibly used xeno technology! "

Not an hour passed since The Dark Horses came back to Holy Terra, and their leader got in a spat with The Emperor. It was a balancing act, between the two. But the wake they left behind always required cleaning up. And this time, Meredith was left nursing a torn rotator cuff in the Imperial Gardens. She noticed the Primarch, waving a hand to dismiss the medic tending to her. "Haven't seen your skin in a few moons. How you been, kiddo?" Asked the Mad Mare, a nickname gained during the Unification Wars.

It still always felt so alien to be on Holy Terra. The warmth was far too much to bear for the Primarch in comparison to the freezing cold of Iskaarre III-- but for once, he did not choose to hide away and hibernate in some cold part of the Palace during his visit to instead try to visit the Imperial Gardens, anything to cool off. The armor didn't help him much, if at all.

But, there was a face he didn't expect-- the woman, Meredith. Often, he simply called her the woman in his mind, a sense of mystery having always been felt from him whenever it came to her. Though, there was then the sound of a voice in the back of her head, making itself known. It was like someone trying so hard to quietly pipe up after knocking on the door, trying to speak up despite everything that would've swirled through her head. " ... I am well. But you are not. "

Stoic, cold... but there was that hint of care to his tone when addressing Meredith.

" What happened. Who or what hurt you. "

He didn't really have much humor, huh. He went right to the point-- zero hesitation. The diviner stood there, just waiting for an answer. Though... he frowned in thought.

" Was it Father? " He could swear he had heard one of Father's enraged mutters as he passed by to reach the gardens... Though, it was simply a guess from Aurelius-- Father always seemed more uppity lately, anyway.

@iamomegon continued from here.

Such a simple question and yet, even with the usually deadpan Aurelius, something about it seemed to have genuinely brought him to have some sort of emotion to his telepathic voice. His head lulled back, unknowing on how to truly respond to such a question.

" My sons and I endure. Despite what has happened with Leman. "

A simple reply. His grip tightened on the staff of his standard, suddenly swinging out at another unlucky poxwalker that dared to step foot near his brother. He slammed his standard in the ground with fury, earning audible war cries from his beloved sons. And while they charged without fear into battle, Aurelius absentmindedly returned his greatbow into his hands, pulling an arrow from beneath his cloak and pulled back what could only be described as an invisible bowstring. Light crackles of energy formed at the tips of the greatbow to create the very string, pulled back hard by Aurelius's careful hands... and the arrow was fired across the battlefield with nary an issue.

Aurelius said nothing. He was not one for speaking-- and he certainly was not one to just go rambling to his brothers about such matters in this era.

" How do you fare? "

"That is enough, Aurelius," Atlas scolded. Golden eyes narrowed at his second oldest son. "How am I to simply take your word that your brother is uncorrupted by these same thoughts you've expressed to me? How am I to trust either of you when you two are so closely bonded? I need to make sure he does not share this nonsense you seem to hold so close. Have I made myself clear?" ((@tertiusdecimusfilius))

The Warmaster snarled at such a thing, icy glowing eyes meeting glowing gold as the larger Primarch stood in front of the smaller as if shielding him from the Emperor himself. " Because you should know better than I that Guilliman follows things by-the-book! Where I have gone against your orders, Guilliman followed them and only deviated just the smallest bit to make sure it would truly be a victory for the Imperium! "

Aurelius stood steadfast, firm in his words and unfaltering in his beliefs.

Controversy had sprung up amongst the Primarchs due to Aurelius's radical views of artificial intelligence, his views of diplomacy with xenos and how they could benefit the Imperium-- going against all ideals of the Emperor in the process... but Aurelius wasn't the only one, of course. The 11th Primarch had already left before, after the Rangdan Xenocides, and Aurelius was close to following suit... but he would be going down perhaps a far more different path in the process.

The Second Son straightened his posture, continuing to speak against his Father, barely letting him finish when he asked if he made himself clear, " Roboute has actively gone against my thoughts on such matters. He had always argued with me, and often his Ultramarines would finish the job that I would falter upon. Father, he has done NOTHING wrong and you know it! Roboute is loyal to the Imperium first and foremost! You should know that, you have seen his progress! If there is anyone to direct your anger towards, it is me! "

To think Aurelius would dare to lash out at the Emperor of Mankind himself, in the very war room that Aurelius had been offered the chance to be Warmaster!
