4,16, 23 & 26!

ash!!! hello <33

4. Link your 3 favorite fics right now.

: o

lemme go into my bookmarks real quick.

The onyx in radiance—look, look, i know. but give it a chance ok? it’s not age gap or predatory or whatever people have in mind about unconventional ships,,,it’s actually very very fluffy and fun and the way harry smacks riddle around is a thing of beauty. (if u do read it, make sure to read the oneshot before it too!)

Parents sitting—it’s this wip that for updated after like,,,half a decade when i’d almost given up hope but god, it’s wonderful. i love it. it’s basically deaged!hinny and the next gen kids scrambling to take care of their baby parents while finding out some rough truths about their childhoods.

Gems of great price—ok so i’m technically cheating bc this is a series of 3 fics but like. they’re short. and nice. and very very sweet. it’s harry/marcus and another lomonaaeren work (clearly i’m in a Mood these days) but i promise you’ll love it. the dynamic these two share is v v fun and i don’t think i’ve ever seen it before.

16. Do you research for your fics? If so, how deep of a rabbit hole have you gone down by accident when researching?

oof yes, so so much. arguably one of my fav parts about the whole experience. since i mostly write slice-of-life one shots, there’s not a lot of opportunities for it but i do fall into rabbit holes ab british culture/geography/food quite a lot. i think the deepest possibly might be going right back to like,,,anglo-saxon history and the vikings and all the invasions bc i was trying to figure out some cultural quirk lol (those r my fav kind tho)

23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?

oh man oh man. this is—a tough one. i think outsider pov, definitely. also gen tropes usually come easier to me! found family, ‘x is a good parent’, hurt/comfort etc etc. one hyper specific trope would be ‘dominant older one submits to a younger one’ esp when the former is like,,,super accomplished & intimidating compared to the latter. subversion, my beloved <3

but like. if w’re talking nsfw,,,i’m absolutely in love with writing cockwarming and blowjobs in particular.

26. What’s your biggest distraction when writing?

myself, lmao. i have terrible executive dysfunction and the attention span of a goldfish so i find it v hard to concentrate on one thing. there’s also this whole concept of the internet at the fingertips that makes things v v hard bc i keep remembering little things i wanna do or look up and then bam, distracted. like,,.someone tell me why i need to look up the difference between medieval and victorian fashions or the balkanisation of the east while trying to write sirius and harry binding?????

From this ask game
