Show Me Divine Love 🔅
Jan’s eyes snap open when she feels Jackie’s arm tense, and she hopes, prays, that she isn’t awake just yet. Jackie’s arm moves again, and Jan can’t help but feel shocked when instead of pushing her away, Jackie shifts so she’s pressed closer to Jan’s back. Jan’s breathing stills when Jackie’s hand moves to brush against hers, and when it reaches down to dance over her ribs and pull her body even closer, all of the air in Jan’s lungs escapes in a quiet sigh.

Six Sentence Sunday
Show Me Divine Love 🔅
Jackie is half asleep when Jan finally responds, voice thick with sleep and words half-slurred, “you cold last night?”
The movements against Jan’s skin never cease, and at first Jackie doesn’t reply. Another round of silence is broken by a grunt Jan interprets as a no, and a soft mumble of ‘you kept me warm’.
Jan’s mouth is open, a half-witted response on the tip of her tongue, when she realises Jackie’s hand is massaging her skin rather than just brushing against it, and the leg that is cradled between Jan’s is slowly dragging up to settle higher between her thighs. Jan’s mouth shuts, and her lips curl up into a smirk.
“I think you’re doing alright at keeping yourself warm now.”

Keep On Flourishing 🧡✨
Jackie isn’t even looking at Nicky anymore - she’s looking past her, looking straight at Jan. Nicky notices when they lock eyes from across the room and she swears it’s the same look they used to exchange when they were 17. Jackie feels lucky; her stomach is in knots, the good kind, and she feels giddy with love and pride and happiness.

Wip Wednesday
Show Me Divine Love 🔅
For Jackie to hold Jan like this was rare, and she finds herself in a position she never wants to leave. She feels herself settle back into Jackie’s arms, sneaking the tips of her fingers under Jackie’s hand in an attempt to find more contact. Her lips twitch and she closes her eyes, taking in all of the intimacy that would dissipate as soon as Jackie fully woke.
Jan’s eyes snap open when she feels Jackie’s arm tense, and she hopes, prays, that she isn’t awake just yet. Jackie’s arm moves again, and Jan can’t help but feel shocked when instead of pushing her away, Jackie shifts so she’s pressed closer to the bare skin of Jan’s back. Jan’s breathing stills when Jackie’s hand moves to brush against hers, and when it reaches down to dance over her ribs and pull her body even closer, all of the air in Jan’s lungs escapes in a quiet sigh.
Her eyes closed and her lips tug into a smile when she feels Jackie’s lips on her neck, pressing gentle kisses against the skin, “morning.”

8, 10, 12 for that masterpiece giaw/kof
thank you bb!! this is super long so I'm chucking in a break ✨
8. how does your character(s) feel about religion? Marriage? Death? -
religion — was always more important and integral to Jackie than to Jan.
Jackie's parents come from strict religious families, and the ideologies were passed down to her, she grew up thinking that something was wrong with her for never liking boys, raised to believe that being gay was wrong. religious trauma and internalised homophobia started to impact her in her teens and never really left; she struggled with no longer understanding or finding comfort in religion. stopped identifying as catholic, if you asked her if she believes in God she'll tell you she doesn't know, unsure where to put her faith. refuses to raise any children she may have religiously. Jan describes her experience with religion as 'catholic lite' - born into a traditional Italian Catholic family but never forced to participate in the culture. chose to attend catholic school, stopped believing in God and religion when she realised that being who she was was considered a sin. agrees with Jackie that any children they have will not be raised under organised religion.
marriage — they both admire their parents' marriages and have always known that marriage is something they would want from young ages. knew very early on that they were the ones for each other, and agreed that marriage would come after college - and it did. they planned a big fancy wedding, but then decided to elope while travelling and had a big party when they came home - they stand by it being the best choice they ever made.
death — Jackie knows exactly what she wants when she goes. no extraordinary measures, organ donation, cremation, scattering her ashes back in Canada. isn't afraid of her own death, but scared to live without Jan, her parents, her friends. Jan considers herself too young to be even thinking about death, but seeing Jackie having everything in order makes her think. she's scared to lose her loved ones, scared of what comes after. she doesn't believe in God but surely something has to happen, her soul has to go somewhere
10. what’s the importance of sex to your character(s)? What’s its role in the relationship shared between your central character and their partner? -
at first Jackie thought it was going to feel bad, wrong even; but how does something wrong feel so good? Jan came into their relationship knowing sex was good, but knew that Jackie might take her time to coming around to it. the ball was always in Jackie's court. and then it was fun the both of them, the sneaking around and the love was thrilling, the self discoveries and the newfound confidence was mind boggling. it's fun, intimate, easy, comfortable, mind numbing - sex with Jackie is the only time Jan mentions God. Jan has had sex with men and women, but Jackie is the perfect fit. they don't really vibe with labels like top and bottom, but Jan is definitely the more dominant of the two, not to say that Jackie doesn't have her moments.
12. if your characters live together, what does their morning routine look like? Do they do things together, or do they move about the house separately? Do they have to part ways? If so, what do they say before they go? -
they moved in together straight out of high school, and their days start at similar times, but the morning is peaceful for Jackie. she wakes up before Jan and leaves her to wake on her own because Jan isn't the most sociable morning person. Jackie does yoga in the living room, has a shower and has a full breakfast before Jan surfaces. Jan likes to maximise her sleep in time, so by the time she's up all they have time for together is a quick good morning, brushing teeth, and pouring coffee in their keep cups.

God is a Woman 💫
Jackie has spent all her life on her knees worshipping and praying to a God she wasn’t sure existed, but she thinks she’s finally found heaven 💗✨

Tell us some HCs for the time between giaw and kof if you like 😊
omg this was fun .. I have a lot but I picked my favourites !
• they move to Boston after graduating high school — Jan studies a bfa at the conservatory, Jackie studies a bs in english education at Boston university
• they live in a small apartment in south end; Jackie works at the public library, Jan works at the Boston children’s museum in the performing arts program
• jan proposes to jackie at home after their undergrad graduation ceremony — she’s done the full set up of flowers and candles and music, and Jackie cries before pulling the ring she got for jan out of her coat pocket
• jan works full time at the museum after graduating, while Jackie studies for another year to get her EdM in English and language arts education
• they travel after Jackie gets her masters, and they end up getting married in Italy along the way
• they move to New York when they get back — and Jackie starts working as a high school English teacher, and jan starts throwing herself into auditions while working for the children’s museum of manhattan on move and groove Tuesdays and feel good Fridays
• jan asks if they can have a baby two years after they get married — and when Jackie says that she isn’t ready, jan comes home with a Russian blue cat she’s named Ivy, dubbing her their ‘practice baby’

q 1 for the fanfic writer asks pls!
thank you anon!! 💗
1. if you had to create a soundtrack for your story, what songs would you choose? Why? -
SO I actually have soundtracks for a lot of my fics, I have a little collection of spotify playlists that I'm lowkey obsessed with bc I feel they really sum up the ✨vibes✨ - but these two are my favourites/most extensive
take my hand, save your soul series (giaw/kof verse) - it's kinda split into 3 parts bc this is eventually gonna be a 3 fic series; religious guilt/trauma/internalised homophobia (giaw fic - LOTS of hozier, some 1975 too), oh shit this is good (fic that's still in the planning stages - king princess, girl in red, the 1975), and you're the love of my life (kof fic - taylor, ariana, kacey)
barracuda - strong enemies to lovers vibes with some extra angst and the occasional happy bop; there's some conan gray, marina, cub sport, troye, and 5sos - ngl it slaps

All asks ending with 2 and 7 ✨ if you’re still doing them
the way I love you for this 🥺👀 look at me getting all my thoughts out
also look at me using the read more shortcut I learnt this morning 🌟 buckle up bc this is long lmao
2: is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to? —
fake dating au!! I have an idea in mind but there are some other wips I want to get through first!
7: share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it —
surprise, it’s from kof!!
“Jackie tells Nicky about how much she loves Jan, and before they know it Jackie is giving Nicky a play-by-play of her and Jan’s domestic life and filling her in on all of Jan’s little quirks that she has grown to love. She tells Nicky everything - how Jan sleeps on the right-hand side of the bed because she’s the little spoon and doesn’t like facing the window when she sleeps, how she goes to Jackie’s favourite Persian supermarket on the other side of the city to get the good lokum when she knows Jackie is having a bad day, how she stops in to see Jackie’s parents every Wednesday after she’s seen her own.”
look, we all know I’m a soft bitch .. but this in particular makes my heart flutter 🥺🥰 there’s just something that feels so right about jackie knowing and loving all the little things about jan — tbh I can’t word it any better than this but just know I’m very proud of the characterisation in kof
12: is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more? —
I don’t think so! not one that I’m like consciously aware of lmao
17: do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order? —
depends! oneshots I write in order but for multi chapter works I have bits and pieces all over the place and just string it together later! like I have parts of barracuda done that are from later chapters but I haven’t finished chapter one yet
22: choose a passage from one of your earlier fics and edit it into your current writing style. (Person sending the ask is free to make suggestions) —
look .. I only have one fic that doesn’t fit my current style bc it was written 2 years ago - so I’m gonna roll with back to you (chapter 4)!! also let me preface this by saying the only difference that I have noticed is that I used to write in past tense and now I find myself writing everything in present tense omg
Aquaria sighs as she watches Brianna braid, undo and rebraid Evie’s hair. Her fingers move easily with familiarity, and Aquaria eventually notices that Brianna isn’t even looking at the fine brunette curls, rather just staring at the wall blankly. Aquaria knows Brianna well enough to know that there’s something on her mind when she gets like this, something she doesn’t want Aquaria to know about - but Aquaria has never been one to drop a subject easily.
“You’re in your head again. Talk to me, B.” Aquaria coos, tucking her feet under her legs. Aquaria was always been told that Brianna had spent years working on managing her feelings of isolation and rejection, that the brunette sometimes struggled with feeling unwanted. There are times where Aquaria thinks that the nature of their relationship and their family brings back those feelings, and that perhaps Brianna needs something that represents permanence - something that tells her she’s wanted. She thinks about it a lot, but she doesn’t dare ask if it’s true.
27: how do you feel about collaborations? —
never done one, maybe one day 👀 it’s not something I’ve thought a lot about much, but I’ve definitely thought about it
32: how do you feel about smut? —
honestly at this point I think this question answers itself
37: talk about your current wips —
how much time do we have? I have a few so let’s discuss in quick fire style (but definitely check my fic-specific tags for more bits and pieces) !!
1. Keep on Flourishing: sequel to god is a woman, married!jankie, 10 year reunion, smut, fluff, quite jackie-centric
2. Barracuda: high school au, swimmer au, jankie/crygi/ ?? halldoll, enemies to lovers, smut, jackie and jan centric, background angsty crygi
3. I Leave the Light on For You: song fic exchange project!!, romantic-vs-cynic!jankie, teacher!au (kinda, not really), jackie finds herself starting to like things she used to hate bc they’re things that jan likes
4. amortentia au (remains unnamed): haven’t worked on it in a while!, jankie/crygi/lemyanka, probably going to be a series of oneshots, soulmate au, CANDLES THAT SMELL LIKE YOUR SOULMATE, still requiring 2 more scents for both lem and pri, the others are sorted (hmu if you have an idea of what they would smell like lmao)
5. Not a House but a Home: Christmas!jankie, it’s finished (I think👀), they’re decorating their apartment and they’re in love uwu
6. Wonderland: jankie, crygi, halldoll all live in the same apartment building - what could go wrong?, newlywed!jankie, and-they-were-roommates!crygi, romantic-vs-cynic halldoll, possibly room for lemyanka ??
7. We’ve Got Tonight: Crystal’s mad at Gigi, Gigi wants to fix her mistakes, Jackie just wants everyone to get along, Jan just wants to fucking get married

🌹 from @nickysjaida !
thanks doll! from something new I’ve been working on, called Touch My Soul (From the Outside)!
“I see a smart, generous, powerful person,” Jan coos as she strokes Jackie’s cheek with her thumb, “when I look at you, I see the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

thank you baby Frey!! 💙
3. favourite line/scene you wrote this year? -
the part in kof where Jackie is just gushing to Nicky about how much she loves Jan makes me all cute and soft and I love it so much 🥰 that and the part in I think I’ve fallen in love where crystal is watching Gigi paint and it’s all soft and quiet
9. longest wip of the year? -
probably kidfic verse? both that and barracuda are long but I have more actually written for kidfic!
17. fics you'll continue next year? -
I wrote three fics that fall into two verses this year and I wanna continue both!
I definitely want to do the second part of the painter gigi verse, and I have plans for another 1-2 fics in the giaw/kof verse ✨
