Ch 1 - Never Really Over

*Deep breaths*

Soooo I've been working on a new multi-chap romione fic since April. Have kept it pretty quiet aside from my betas who have been wonderful with their help and support because let's be real, finding time to write and allow yourself to become invested in a hobby with an infant is HARD. But that's a whole other slew of issues for another day. You're here for the fic (I assume), so let's get back to that.

I love the direction this is taking, and am super proud of the idea and its development. I think I'm known a lot for taking existing stories/movies/etc and twisting them to fit a ship in an AU, but this one is all me - yay proving to myself that I CAN have original ideas!

It is an American Romione AU in a modern setting.

Summary:

Hermione Granger is a modern woman who doesn’t need to find love for self-fulfillment. Not that finding love is even an option anymore. Her perfect love story has come and gone with the one who got away—sorry, the one who disappeared is more like it.

That fake fairy tale is all well and good until Ron Weasley, the man who ruined everything, suddenly turns back up in her life with no explanation whatsoever. It seems his only goal is to show up wherever she is, attempting to undo the walls she’s built around her heart after he shattered it into a million tiny pieces. But Hermione’s determined not to let him in. With the help of her best friends and an online dating site that promises users their very own ‘happily ever after,’ she sets out to move on from her first love for good.

After a few misses, Billy slides into her inbox, a sweet, genuine, fun-loving guy who’s easy to talk to and fills Hermione with the hope that perhaps love isn’t off the table after all. Seemingly overnight, she’s gone from perpetually single to balancing a love triangle on a fine, fine line. The deeper she gets, the harder she realizes it’s going to be when she has to choose. The last thing she wants to do is break anyone’s heart—her own included.

So, without further ado, I give you the first chapter of Never Really Over.

Read on AO3

But once in a while I trip up and I cross the line, and I think of you

Work ᐧ a ᐧ hol ᐧ ic (noun) a person who compulsively works long and hard hours.

God, I hate the connotation of that word. And yet it still burns into my mind, distracting me from—unironically—the article I’m trying to finish up at my desk. Am I three months ahead of the current deadline? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean anything. There’s nothing wrong with having backups just in case. It shouldn’t classify me as a workaholic.

Because I’m not.

It’s only haunting me because my brain has a sick and twisted sense of humor. It clearly refuses to follow my strict list of off-limit thoughts, cementing the chokehold the word has on my life.

Ugh. Why am I letting this bother me anyway? I’m Hermione Granger, a capable, independent woman who is perfectly happy with her life right now. A twenty eight-year-old with a house of her own, a career she’s passionate about, and the five best friends a girl could ask for thanks to fate bringing us together during freshman orientation at Kearney University. The memory brings a smile to my lips. What more could one want?

And then the frown returns when I remember that I’m sitting alone in the office on a Friday evening and self-doubt trickles in. If I’m being honest, there’s a lot more I want. Like love. Finding the love of my life would be nice. I thought I’d at least be married by now, and maybe have one kid by the time I turned thirty. Not that I’m a traditional woman by any means. I’m about as modern as they come. It’s just…

No. You’re not allowed to think about him, remember?

Except it’s really hard not to think about him. Especially when that damn word keeps flashing in my mind while I sit here on weekend time, finishing an article that’s nowhere near due. But it doesn’t matter. That inside joke died a long time ago. I stopped finding the word endearing the moment I realized he was no longer in my life. Now if only my brain would get the memo.

I shake my head, brunette curls flying around as I try to refocus on the cursor blinking in front of me. It’s still a tough pill to swallow, but I’ve long since given up on love—or so I’m telling myself. Romantic companionship clearly isn’t in the cards for me, so I turn to the one thing that will never let me down: writing. And right now, I’m only a couple of paragraphs away from completing a lovely little piece on the hidden gems of Bora Bora—the things they won’t tell you in the travel guides.

A long, deep breath helps me push those intrusive thoughts away and brings me back to the salty ocean air and the calm lapping of the waves. If I concentrate long enough, I can feel the sparkling white sand between my toes, and it’s enough to catapult me right back into the article—until my phone rings two minutes later.

I don’t want to answer, but it’s Hannah Abbott, my best friend, and she’s always there for me when I need her. The least I can do is return the favor. Plus, the creative juices are no longer flowing thanks to the interruption, so I may as well see what she wants.

With a swipe right to answer, I do my best not to sound annoyed. “Hello?”

“Where are you?!” Hannah cries, though her voice sounds hushed, like she’s hiding in a closet or something.

“Finishing up an article at work. Why?”

“Unbelievable,” she grumbles, more to herself than to me. “Hermione, I’m going to let you think about why I’m calling for a second and see if you can put the pieces together.”

“What are you talking about?” I’m not in the mood to play this game, but I adjust the phone and hold it against my shoulder so I can lift my laptop and check my desk calendar.

August first. Friday. The day I try to forget. But then I see the periwinkle writing at the bottom of the square. Harry and Neville’s birthday party.

Remember the strong support system I mentioned earlier? The freshman orientation group turned lifelong friends? Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom are part of that, along with Hannah, of course, and Seamus Finnigan and Lavender Brown. We never miss anyone’s birthdays, and Hannah knows that.

“Shit! Shit, shit, shit! How could I forget?”

Hannah sniggers at me. “Yes, how could you forget? Hermione, I don’t know if it’s because you love your job so much that you’re willing to stay late on a Friday, or because of what day it is, but—”

“We’re not talking about that. I’m leaving now. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”

I slam my laptop shut and shove it in my bag a little too haphazardly. I’m already closing my office door by the time Hannah responds again. “Right…”

She’s clearly contemplating whether to push the subject or let it go. After all, she’ll have all night to try and grill me on it, but she knows better. We don’t talk about what happened on August first. Ever.

And just to make sure she doesn’t go there, I try to swing the conversation back to the guys. “Have they noticed I’m not there yet?”

“Well, considering it’s a small gathering of our closest friends—all of whom are already here because the party started an hour ago—yeah, they’ve noticed.”

“Ugh, I’m sorry, okay? I just—”

“—Got caught up with whatever article you’re working on? I know, I know. You’re lucky it’s only their twenty-eighth birthday and not the big three-oh.”

“Come on, Han, this is one tiny mistake and I feel terrible. You don’t need to make it worse. I’m never late, you know that! And I would never miss something as big as their thirtieth birthdays. Especially not since we’ve already got a running list of themes and ideas going. Just—give me a break, okay? I’ll be there soon. I’m almost to the car now.”

“Alright.” Hannah sighs. There’s a stilted pause and I wait, knowing there’s something else she wants to say, and I brace for the lecture about my workaholic tendencies and what it relates to. Damn psychology major.

“Listen, Hermione, there’s something you should—” But after a long day of reflecting on it, I don’t want to go there right now.

“See you in fifteen, bye!” I hang up the phone before she can finish her sentence. She tries this every year. You’d think after six years she’d let it go. But no, she thinks that one of these days I’ll finally talk about it. Well, she can keep trying, but it’s not going to happen. That part of my life is over and it’ll only hurt more to bring it back up.

⚭

It takes me a little longer than fifteen minutes, but that’s to be expected with D.C. traffic. Once I’m parked outside Hannah and Neville’s house, I quickly do a once-over on my appearance. Thanks to the mid-summer humidity, my hair is frizzier than when I tamed it into its half-ponytail this morning. It’s too bad my incessant need to run my fingers through the curly strands does nothing to combat its flyaway tendency. I guess I’ll just have to deal with yet another pitch from Lavender to let her help me with my nonexistent beauty regimen. Perks of having a beautician for a friend.

Prying my eyes away from the visor mirror, I get out of the car and look down at the pale yellow eyelet sundress I put on this morning. There are definite wrinkles and creases from sitting at my desk all day, but what can I do? At least my mascara isn’t running down my face and I don’t have sweat stains under my arms. That’s more than presentable for a backyard barbeque after working all day. Kudos to whoever chose that over some fancy dinner.

Not that my friends would care. They’ve always accepted me for who I am. Sure, I’ll never hear the end of being late tonight, but at least I made it, and in their company, I’ll be able to accomplish the one thing I’ve struggled with all day: taking my mind off of him.

Faint sounds of laughter echo as I walk up the path to the front door and let myself in. A ‘happy birthday’ sign hangs from the ceiling in the foyer, and red and gold balloons litter the floor leading to the kitchen. Of course they’d deck out the place with the colors of our alma mater—I wouldn’t expect anything less.

“Hey, I’m here! And sorry I’m late, you know how work is,” I call to a seemingly empty house.

I poke my head into an empty living room before heading back to the kitchen, where I find Seamus pulling a beer out of the fridge. Everyone else must be out back.

“Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up.”

And so it begins.

Rolling my eyes, I grab a wedge of gouda off the picked over charcuterie board on the counter. “You say that like I intended to show up almost two hours late. I lost track of time.”

That was sort of the truth. After all, I couldn’t tell Seamus I forgot, he’d never let me live it down. Seamus is usually the one who gets called out on things. His affinity for pyrotechnics has created many occasions for us to give him hell, and you can guarantee between the five of us, we never let him live a single one down. So I guess I can’t blame him when he doesn’t miss a beat now the tables are turned.

Which is why I’m not surprised he isn’t letting me off the hook yet. With a snort, he tries to call my bluff. “C’mon, Hermione. We all know you love working so much that you’d skip out on weekends if you could. You don’t have to lie.” And then, to make things weirder, he looks around and lowers his voice to add, “You can tell me the truth about why you’re late. It’ll be our little secret.”

My face scrunches up before I have a chance to control its reaction. Why does he care so much?

“I…I don’t know what you mean. I really did lose track of time, Shay. Why are you acting so strange?”

A scowl crosses his face as he sets his beer down on the white speckled quartz. He eyes the back deck before lowering his voice and says, “Because I’ve got a bet going with Lav and Nev on whether you were going to show or not.”

“Whether I was going to—why wouldn’t I show? Honestly, it’s not my fault I got wrapped up in research and writing an article all day and then forgot I had plans tonight! Do you guys bet on my predisposition to get lost in my job and failure to show up to events often?”

I’m so bewildered by the fact that there’s a bet that I don’t even care about letting my forgetfulness slip. Do I need to reconsider how genuine these friendships are? Does this happen often? Are my friends not as supportive as I thought they were?

I open my mouth to ask as much, but clamp it shut when I see the wide-eyed, pale shock cross Seamus’s face. His reaction is far more severe than it should be and now I’m really confused. He spins around and opens the fridge, rummaging around until he pulls out a mango White Claw—my favorite.

Things are getting more suspicious by the second, and I need to know what is going on. “Seamus, what—”

“Here.” He opens the can with a loud crack and hands it to me. “You’re going to need this.”

Oh, come on. “Seriously? You know I don’t care if I’m already three drinks behind.”

“Well, you might this time…” he mumbles before nodding to the door. “Come on, everyone’s out back. I’m sure they’ll be excited to know you finally made it.”

Okay, what is happening? I try not to let my jaw drop as my mind works to decode this odd behavior. Seamus has always been the one with the crazy ideas and adventurous spirit. There’s not a cryptic bone in his body. If anything, he’s always impulsive and up-front with his intentions.

All I can do is shake my head and follow, giving up on trying to make sense of anything. I take a few quick swigs and step through the sliding glass door that Seamus left open for me. Lively conversation comes from my left, where everyone is sitting around the patio table. I prepare myself for more endless teasing as I shut the door behind me, but instead, the chatter dies to a sudden silence. More peculiarity.

Did I spill something on myself and miss it? No, Seamus would have said something. Or are they really just that shocked about my late arrival? I’m about to ask as much until I look up and see an all too familiar shade of red hair sitting at the table with his back toward me.

Despite the eighty-degree weather, my body breaks into a cold sweat. I’ve spent six years pretending he doesn’t exist anymore. Six years trying to forget that part of my life, convincing myself that he wasn’t the person I thought he was. That he wasn’t ‘the one.’

Everyone else’s expressions mirror my shock when they realize I didn’t know he was going to be here, though Hannah’s contains a tiny wince that’s meant to say, ‘I tried to warn you.’ And their reactions are enough to make Ron Weasley, my ex-best friend, ex-confidante, and ex-lover, turn around.

Seeing his face unfreezes my body from its current awkward stance. Anger and hurt burst through the gates that I’ve worked so hard to keep locked up as our eyes meet. In slow motion, my hard seltzer clatters to the ground, soaking my feet and wedge leather sandals in the sticky, bubbly liquid as I try to find my voice.

As if this paradox couldn’t become any more ironic, he actually seems excited to see me. He opens his mouth to say something, but I’ll never know what since I manage to cut him off with the only scathing question that I can possibly think of.

“What are you doing here?”

FANFIC WRITER INTERVIEW

I was tagged by @depressedstressedlemonzest 😍

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

813,550

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

There Goes The Neighborhood (1,264)

Paging Dr Gallagher (1,026)

The Tension & The Spark (1,010)

The One With All The Questions (873)

Not A Gallagher (720)

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Fuck You, Gallagher. I don’t usually write angsty endings but for some reason this one just happened. Ian isn’t in it, it’s just Mickey dealing with him leaving and having dark feelings about it.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

99.9% of my stuff has a happy ending. I write to make myself happy so I tend to sway hard into the fluff category. If I had to choose I would say Weightless - heavy on the angst to start then just gets happier and happier.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven’t so far but wouldn’t rule it out.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Oh god yeah. There was the person who called me a creep for writing incest, that was fun. Especially since there was zero actual incest. Also someone insists on reading all my stuff just to then comment on all of the tiny things I got wrong, like how I described someone’s eye colour. 🤷‍♀️

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do, awkwardly. I try not to over-write it and I really, really try to avoid cringy names for body parts.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! A couple have been translated into Russian, which is really cool.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, not yet. Again I wouldn’t rule it out but just haven’t really got those kinds of relationships to do something like that.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Gallavich, without a moment of hesitation. The complexity, the passion, the growth, the love. It’s all there. We just need fanfic to fix what the writers couldn’t do justice.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

My only WIP right now is Quatervois but I will finish it. I still love it but I’m not in the place I need or want to be in to write so it’s on the back burner until I feel better. I’m not going to rush out some half-arsed chapters just to say I finished it.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I honestly don’t know, I’ve never really paid attention to it on a technical level and nobody has ever critiqued it. Answers on a postcard guys!

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Again, I’m not really a technical writer where I follow the rules. I think an English Language puritan would have a mini-meltdown at some of my stuff. I put commas where there should be colons etc. But I write for me and I post it for others to read if they want to so I don’t get too hung up on it.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It’s a tricky one. Every language I’ve ever learned has always had very obvious differences between written and spoken language so literal translations can lead you astray, but for the most part if it’s clear what you’re trying to get at and it doesn’t upset the flow of the story then go for it.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. I loved it at the time but given more recent changes to my feelings for JKR I doubt I will revisit.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Steddie (Steve/Eddie) - the show did just enough to make their pairing an ambiguous possibility so that’s enough for me to want to jump on it and run wild with it!

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

That’s so hard to answer. It’s very dependent on my mood. I’m quite proud of The Words He Doesn’t Say because it’s the first time I’ve done a multi-chap from an outsider POV. It was a challenge I enjoyed and the end result wasn’t awful. And even though I have no experience of the legal process I enjoyed writing Burden of Proof. The one that gave me the most happy feels was Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot, a fluffy reunion fic with lots of domesticity. Sooo, you asked for one and you got three!!

Now if someone could teach me how to link the stories in my posts that would be grand. Help a dinosaur out, won’t ya? 😉

Tagging @lady-ekaterina (it’s been a while, hope you’re doing good!) 💕

2021 fic review

oh whoa thanks for the tags @katierosefun @kckenobi @skywalker-tano-kenobi & @indigostars xx

total number of completed works: uhhhh jeez. 29 on ao3. but i have no idea how many more little quick one-shots were on here. probably more than a hundred, honestly. i used to do prompts every couple weekends!

total word count: 171,807

looking back did you write more, less, or the expected amount of fic this year?: more! i had a few things that made me homebound for long-ish periods of time that gave me a ton of time to write. also being a teacher paid off because i had a whole summer with very little structure. but we shall see if things change in 2022 now that a baby is in the picture hahah....

your own favorite story of this year?: hmm, probably here and now. i think i have rambled about this one before, but this is the first fic i could step back and go oh! i feel like i stepped into my "writing voice" in that fic, while also challenging myself with it's more emotion-heavy content (aka i didn't allow myself to hide behind humour for once)

did you take any writing risks this year?: absolutely! soften every edge is a story all about grief that i wrote in the midst of my own pain after a really hard and unexpected loss

do you have any fanfic goals for the new year?: honestly, i'm trying to go into the year holding everything pretty loose. i'd like to get better at imagery, though.

most popular story of the year?: soften every edge maybe takes first place? but maybe only because it was multi-chap? so maybe time and time again.

story most under-appreciated?: honestly i feel like all my scribblings get more attention than they deserve!

most fun story to write?: no question: cheers. i am simply a sucker for drunk obi-wan.

most unintentionally telling story?: unintentionally? invincible like i've never been. which is unfortunate, given the nature of the fic...but no matter how much i wish it weren't so, i'll never quite be able to escape some of the stark similarities i have to anakin skywalker. though i hope i handle them much much better. ha!

biggest disappointment?: nooks and crannies of the fandom's tendency to hate things *passionately* instead of just...avoiding them. but, i suppose that's a rant for another time...... (also people criticising my inconsistent american and british speech patterns HA sorry folks but this one is never changing)

biggest surprise?: people consistently keeping up with my work. i'm not sure if that makes sense, but just know...if you ever commented on something of mine, i remember you and if i see your name pop up again on another fic...omg. fireworks! it is just the greatest honour and never fails to baffle me.

my favorite part of fandom this year?: this was only my second year in fandom (whoa!!!!???? can that be real???!!!!) so i do not have much to compare. but i love the positivity that i've been able to curate here and on ao3. i am so so so lucky and do not get a ton of negative comments/asks/etc. i truly love talking with every single one of you, whether it's about star wars, my family, or childhood stories. pocket friends!

no pressure tags: @tessiete @bill0wypants @alright-anakin & anyone who feels silly goofy and hasn't already done this

#long post #what a YEAR!#fic review #tag game

2, 8, 13, 20, 30, & 38 for the fanfic asks? -megs 💙

Hi Megs!! This is a LOT. Thank you for asking!!!!

2. What character(s) do you find the most difficult to write for? Why?

Answered here <3 (It's Michael)

8. Do you prefer writing one-shots or multi-chaptered stories?

Okay so... my sweet spot as a writer is about in the 20k range. I'm notoriously an over writer and so that's a pretty,, good length for like a day-long read, you know? Something that feels fairly long but that won't take you more than an afternoon as a reader to munch on. Most of my work is one-shots so I feel like... I have to say I prefer one-shots lol. I do love writing multi-chap stories though, even though I don't have many. But a one-shot is like... It takes a week/couple days to write. It takes a day for people to read. It's not bite-sized but it's not... over-filling or overwhelming. Yeah, I like one-shots of 15-30k.

13. When did you start writing fanfic?

... do you really wanna know?? I guess I'm gonna go back to the very beginning. Not my ao3 days but before that. Because I really started writing fanfic on Quotev when I was twelve. I think my first fic was... Oh geez, now I have to go find it. Alright. I hate to admit this on main. The first fanfic I EVER wrote was on Quotev. It was published on April 15, 2015. I would be twelve. It was a Supernatural fanfiction. And it is quite literally called "Supernatural: DeanXReader." Now I feel the need to clarify, 12 yo Jess did not know what romance WAS (hello aro ace identity) and I can guarantee you the "X" is used VERY liberally. Dean and Reader were just friends. They never touched. They never kissed. They were literally just homies. But I said "ROMANCE!" bc I didn't know that,, wasn't romance. If that makes sense. Yeah <3

20. What feedback makes you the happiest to hear?

THIS. is hard. Uh... Ok. I really enjoy,,, overall commentary on a story?? Like when someone takes something out of a fic and fosters it into a dialogue with me. One of the people that does this the best is Miki ( @ashtonhours ). I really adore the way she interacts with my work in our dms. Because she makes me sound a lot smarter than I actually am haha and I appreciate that!! And I tell you who really blew me away recently with a compliment was Em ( @redrattlers ). The kind of stuff I want to elicit when I write is a feeling of... honesty?? If that makes any sense. So whenever I get feedback that a story sounds "real" or "human," I get very very excited.

30. Do you write down all your ideas? What makes you decide to write one versus the other?

My notes app is... oh it's a mess. It's bad. I write down,,, so much bullshit. If I get even a sentence of an idea, I'm slapping it down. And so my notes app is just a graveyard of disjointed plot bunnies and one-liners and unused titles and... yeah, it's a mess. I write down everything. I do like a lot of what I have in my notes though and I do end up incorporating most of these fragmented ideas into fics! But also sometimes, I have no idea what they mean.

38. What story of yours are you surprised that people liked as much as they did?

Lmfao a lot of them. I think the main one that shocked me will always be Risky Risque. It's one of my big three and I just... fucking hate that fic with such a fiery burning passion. Because the characters are flat as boards and it lacks depth and I just don't believe it. Nothing about the story feels true. But, people like it!! A lot, actually. Which I hate lol but what're you gonna do, y'know?? I can't control audience perception. I wouldn't want to. People are totally allowed to like it but I very much don't think they should.

from fic asks <3

#pigeon #megs #here #just learn all my secrets then why don't you #thank you for asking Megs!!!#tw alc #alcohol #for #the vod-nog bit

Thank you sooo much for the thoughtful and lengthy response. I’ve been writing for only a few months in terms of multi-chaps (I focused on one shots mostly) and I thought I was being ridiculous about caring about reviews. You’re completely right, it’s not the “I love this!” Or “please update soon!” I much prefer laser eyes that pick apart my writing than just simple comments. I get lengthy reviews and dms when a conflict arises, but when I dive into character background such as family relationships and why they are the way the are, I get significantly less feedback. The way I have the story written, background is so relevant to how the characters act, so that’s why I’m stumped.

I hadn’t thought about the whole readers sussing you out thing but it definitely makes sense. There’s some themes are reoccurring in my story to drive a point before coming full circle, but I can see how readers can mistake that as “this shit again” 😂😂. Ill be more patient in terms of that. Who knew I needed benefit of the doubt lol

I’ll definitely take your tips into consideration and come through again. I love that you put as much thought into your writing process as the story itself. This was very helpful, thanks a ton!

Oh good, I’m glad it helped! 😅 We can preach all day about writing stories the way we want to but deep down we thrive on the applause too lol so there’s no shame in it.

The backstory part is interesting though. While it’s necessary to the characters, take a closer look at how you’re explaining it? I’ve read some stories where it’s too in depth that it loses me and I’ve read some where it’s very cut and dry and I get bored so I end up speed reading. One of the best advices I’ve seen is that readers are smart and want to feel smart, so not everything needs to be said if that makes sense. I used to hate the feedback of “oh I knew that was going to happen!” Bc I thought it meant that I was being predictable and that’s like the worst thing you can say to me lol. But really, those comments are actually so reassuring! They let me know that a reader was able to follow all those breadcrumbs I placed throughout the story to this exact moment which was the goal so we both win.

I love leaving breadcrumbs (little bits of info throughout the story) where the reader can put them all together to create the but picture rather than me taking the time to show them the big picture all in one chapter. I don’t necessarily have to say “this person is like this bc a long time ago they did this and that” bc I let the reader fill in the blanks. It goes back to making the reader feel smart bc who doesn’t want to feel that way while reading? Sometimes you have to intervene tho and spell it out but I think those are reserved for big backstory moments, so maybe try dabbling in that? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Another thing that could encourage more feedback might be the time/day that you post your updates. I look at it as a marketing thing (lol bc what else do I use my new business degree for). I find that posting around the weekend means people generally have more free time on their hands and will potentially be more inclined to leaving a review. Same goes with the time you post. My analytics show that most of my readers are American so I always post on American time although I live in Australia. A lot of my reviews I think come down to my consistency as well; not to say you need to post every week bc that shit is hard LOL but maybe create a type of schedule? I find that a lot of new readers a drawn to stories that won’t leave them hanging so they don’t want to take the time to get invested only for it to go abandoned or incomplete. I wish more non writers understood that writers run out of juice at random times so it’s hard to stay consistent, but I think it’s talked about a lot more recently than it was when I first started. Most readers can tell when you’re passionate about your work though so I you’ll get there! 💪🏽

#writing things #I’m on mobile so I can’t under the cut it so soz if this is long lol

Mobile masterlist (updated)

Updated list for you lovelies.

Daryl imagines;

“You kissed another woman,” Part 3

Part 1: https://kadenastudio.tumblr.com/post/176726668613/hello-awesome-one-i-hate-to-bother-you-but-i

Part 2: https://kadenastudio.tumblr.com/post/176873200078/you-kissed-another-woman-part-2

“Hi, Kat,” Adena whispers, suddenly feeling insecure and looking dow momentarily.

“Um, Adena. What’re you doing here?” Kat blinks, feeling the tears slowly coming to her eyes.

“Well, I know that you said you didn’t feel like talking but I just couldn’t sleep last night knowing that I made you cry, I need to tell you my side of the story,” Adena explains, looking Kat in the eye, making Kat sigh and turns her head to avoid eye contact.

“Okay,” Kat sighs, stepping out of the doorway so Adena would walk into the apartment.

Adena uncomfortably sits down at the table and intwines her fingers together. Kat sighs deeply, rubs her hands on her thighs and sits down across from Adena.

“So, um, I went out and I saw Kathy. I haven't seen her since she moved to Rio so we sat down, had some drinks and talked. I told her about you and she said she was seeing someone too so we talked about that. All of a sudden, it was two in the morning so I went to say goodbye and she kissed me. Now, I'm not going to deny that I kissed back, because I did but it was only because I felt lost,” Adena explains.

“Lost? What do you mean by lost?” Kat furrows her eyebrows and leans forward, causing Adena to suck in a breath.

“Uh, well. With us opening the relationship and then you recently saying that you don't want the relationship open anymore but I could tell that we were still distant I guess and I don't know, Kat. its just a lot of take in and I'm not saying that its your fault, but I just felt...lost,” Adena stutters, waiting for Kat to speak.

“Are you still feeling lost?” Kat asks.

“No. I want you, Kat Edison. No one else. And not being with you last night and the thought of us breaking up nearly broke me. I can't do this without you,” Adena walks over to Kat's chair and kneels, taking Kat's hands and looking up at her, “Please, I will do anything if it meant I could have you,” Adena begs.

Kat takes a breath and smiles down at Adena and nods her head, “Of course.”

Adena smiles widely and leans up to kiss Kat deeply as Kat takes Adena's face into her hands and smiles into the passionate kiss.

“I know things aren’t gonna be the same but I'm okay with that,” Kat whispers when they pull apart.

“So, shall we start over, Miss Edison?’ Adena giggles as she stands and extends her hand.

“And how do you plan to do that?” Kat smirks, taking Adena's hand.

“How about afternoon brunch?” Adena hums as Kat nods her head excitedly.

“Sounds good to me, Miss El-Amin,” Kat bites her lip and leans in to kiss Adena again quickly.

They leave the apartment ready to live life together.

Because they can’t do it without one another.

Okay so I know its short but its late and I thought I should write something quick before my school week starts.

This can be the end of the multi-chap fic but it also doesn't have to be! So send me prompts and stuff if you want me to continue!!

love you all, mwah xo

Fanfic Reader Asks

Thought I’d answer these questions, originally from @ao3commentoftheday

When did you start reading fic? (how old you were or how long ago) I started reading fic maybe two and a half or three ish years ago

Do you have an AO3 account? yes, here’s the link

Do you read WIP (works in progress)? Why or why not? I try not to unless I know they’re being updated because I hate not having an ending

What time of day is your ‘fic reading time’? Any time of day really, if I had to choose then in the evenings probably

How much time do you spend reading fic per week? I’m a really sporadic reader so if I’m reading consistently, then at least four hours a week but it really does vary

Do you listen to podfic (fanfic recorded like an audiobook)? Nope, I’ve never been good at following audio because I zone out too fast

What’s your favourite fic genre to read? Next gen or romance, I think those are genres??? I’m not sure XD

Are there any genres that you tend to avoid? Still unsure of fic genre bc I only read romance fics sooo. I don’t like au’s where characters don’t know each other

What tag(s) do you track? I don’t track any tags, but I do look for soulmate, unrequited love, and friends to lovers quite often

How do you find new fic? I usually look up tags, see recs from people I follow, or search for specific ships

How do you organize your fic bookmarks? I don’t, it’s realllly bad. I have probably hundreds of bookmarks on my phone alone

Do you subscribe to authors or stories? YES!!! I love love love subscribing to authors, I’ll probably do a post about that later

What is your favourite fanfic trope? soulmates, hopeless romantic at heart

What kind of plotline are you always here for? Friends to lovers and roommates to bedmates ;)

What can an author do to make you love them? Write well, reply to comments, have fics about ships that I like

What can an author do that makes you avoid them? I really only avoid the authors that are super critical about other ships and that fight people online, I don’t think these things are worth arguing over like that

What do kudos mean to you? Kudos is the same thing as liking a youtube video in my opinion

What kind of commenter are you? (no comment, short comments, emojies, keyboard smash, long comments, etc) If I’m reading a shorter fic I usually don’t comment, if a fic really moves me I might leave a long comment

Have you ever stopped reading a fic? Why or why not? Yes because I’ve found it boring or it has been a “you, I” POV

Have you ever read a fic more than once? What is it about that fic that made you read it again? Yes, it usually was really good or made me happy.

Do you like sequels? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you like drabbles? Yeah

What do you wish more fic authors would do? write sequels, and be passionate about what they’re writing instead of doing requests

What do you wish more fic authors would stop doing? Stop writing something if you’re not comfortable or not enjoying it!

Do you like oneshots or multi-chaps? both

How long do you like chapters to be? It depends, Not super short but if the subject or character changes then the chapter should too in my opinion

What’s your favourite POV (point of view) to read? (first, second, third) third

What do you think of OC’s? If they’re well written and make sense then they’re great, like kids and spouses and friends that are met outside of the main storyline. But what I don’t like is if some random shows up in Harry’s year at hogwarts

Do you download fic? nah

Tell me something else about your fic reading! Anything you want! I also write fic and alot of the time the fic that I read inspires what I write

#harry potter #fanfiction #fanfic #fic #archive of our own #ao3

SasuSaku Month 2017 - Day 3 - Chemistry

SasuSaku Month 2017 – Day 3 – Chemistry AU in which the Hyuuga were somehow infected / harmed by Kaguya and their Byakugan is weakened. Yuuno Hyuga is an OC. I think Bout this becoming a multi-chap story. If you would like it to become one, send me a request, PM or just simply reply to this post!! Feedback is love!! Warnings: mild nsfw (Sasu's thirsty ass is my thirsty ass ok) "Sometimes you just gotta relax, yeah? And we have so many missions lately, so just being at the onsen with you, Sai and Sakura-chan would be ideal, watcha think?" His favorite moron was waing four golden-lined cards at him, his Sharingan nearly wanting to shoot a few black flames at the annoying cards. Ah, destiny was so cruel. Naruto Uzumaki just told him that the Rokudaime has ordered Sasuke, and the rest of the Team 7, to go to hot springs and relax. Fucking impossible, Sasuke ponders, all the while staring at the jelly he was supposed to eat. "C'mooon, teme, it would be pretty good for us! We haven't had a vacation since the war!" Sasuke doesn't say anything to the comment that jabs his heart. "Naruto, don't be an idiot. We have a lot of work. And just because I healed Neji, and the main family does not mean we can lay back and relax!" Naruto's cheerful expression visibly falls, but gets back up quick, not minding Sasuke's stern demeanor. His strict, grayish eyes, color watered down by tiredness, stare at the blue, whose are nearly scared? Sasuke softens, recognizing the fear that Naruto's orbs held – the aftermath of war was almost as terrifying as the war itself. Kaguya cast a rather potent jutsu that manifested quickly – a month after the war. Only Byakugan users were in danger – and so it seemed only a Sharingan could heal them. Which made Sasuke get out of the prison pronto, since not even Tsunade could heal this one. Their discovery of his possibly life-saving kekkei genkai was made with a help of the most revolting person. Orochimaru edo-tenseied Madara Uchiha, the only Uchiha privy to all nooks and crannies of any doujutsu. The man had a few exausting, snarky and sarcastic sessions with Sasuke – having only heard of the issue in legends and myths of his clan. At last with much bitching (they just had to summon Hashirama so he'd calm the man down, he didn't hear the end of it) Sasuke was explained with much emotional pain from Madara's side how the only special ability he had ever seen to a Mangekyou Sharingan were the ones the user could develop aside the original three; ones like Kamui and his younger brother Izuna's Healing eye, which could heal and nurture any kind of disability and disease. The only irony laying in the predicament of him not being able to heal himself. Madara said that on a whim, it could cause people to even lose memory, and since those abilities were all passed down to Sasuke by blood. Madara was very well acquainted with what Sasuke could do (he seen it in war and he had a peek at the family tree). "Hmph." The rowdy haired man would note, Sharingan passing over the scrolls. "What," Sasuke became rather impatient as of now. "It says here, that you are related to Obito Uchiha." "And?" Sasuke hides his annoyance by the fact. "That means you are related to me, too." Dead serious, Madara waits for a reaction from the younger Uchiha. "His grandmother was my illegitimate daughter. I didn't know she existed until I met Obito. And that, Sasuke, means," he traces the line that intwines with other Uchiha, passes crossings and other details until it lands on Fugaku Uchiha, "that you are my great-great-great, many greats, grandchild. Did someone from the clan continue with a specific powerful Mangekyou Sharingan?" Sasuke answers quickly, leaving no room for any remark,"Father had a Mangekyou. He was hiding it, so the clan wouldn't force him to use it to control the Kyuubi." "Only a weak leader would allow his followers to dictate him. That's straight-out moronic." Ignoring Madara and his own clear bout of rage, Sasuke continues. "There was also Shisui of the Teleportation, he had an amazing Body Flicker Tehnique, and only Ita- my brother could match him in genjutsu. He also had a particular tehnique which he had done with his Mangekyou, Kotoamatsukami, he could manipulate a person's mind and make it seem as if the decisions he would implant in their brain were their own. My brother had a Mangekyou, and had extraordinary abilities even as a young boy. That's all." "Ooh. Would you look at that; Shisui was Kagami's boy. I bet that he inherited the Amatsukami from him. Or a variation thereof. It doesn't matter, even if the kid would be interesting to fight," Madara muses, fingers languidly passing the scrolls, ignoring Sasuke's questioning gaze. "Is your brother the one who slaughtered the entire clan with Obito's help and joined Akatsuki?"asks without raising his head from the scroll. "Aa." Sasuke's dry remark doesn't put Madara off, and Sasuke was prepared to talk about uncomfortable things. "Interesting." It's silent for a bit, and then he asks something very weird. "What about your mother? Mikoto Uchiha? Did she awaken her Mangekyou?" "Hn. I have no knowledge of such a thing." "I suspect that she has." "And how did you come to such a conclusion?" Sasuke is sceptic, but Madara mentions nothing of it. "This person, Naori Uchiha, is related to her through here, and she also has the blood of my mother's sister. My mother had a great fighting power, and I even suspect she has awakened her Mangekyou before me. Your mother had a healing prowess or something?" "Not that I know of." "Very well then. I am about to teach you a very taxing healing technique, assuming that Orochimaru has taken my eyes post-war." "How can you assume such a thing?" "It's too great of a power for him to possess, at this point. He has my Rinnegan, probably both. Since they have mutated and I am dead, I have no use for them. You will absorb them rather simply: like you do jutsu. Then come back here since we have no time to waste." "Sasuke. I am... grateful. You know I am. But..." "Ugh, fine! I will come!" "Yas! I knew you would admit defeat, 'ttebayo!" Naruto shouts triumphantly, pumping his fist in the air, shoving Sasuke sideways in the process. "HEY! NARUTO!" "Heh, heh, sorry, Sasuke..." "You will be!" = It's a lonely night, as always, in the small complex Sasuke lives in. He is plagued by thoughts – a thing far more terrifying than any jutsu. Breathes in. Out. In again. Numerous times just thinking about the action... and the house feels vastly big and lonely... Somebody's voice he wishes to hear, somebody's heartbeat he wants to sleep on... he despises himself for it, but his dreams just aren't safe when he doesn't sense another person breathing, fighting, yielding, relaxing, dreaming, sighing, saying, 'Sasuke-kun, did you put away the food? The bread will go stale if you don't...', voice like a ring, small and everpresent, orbiting around him like a navigated fireball, the kind his mother liked to show him and Itachi when they were kids. "Sasuke Uchiha-san." From his sofa in the living room, he can hear them: two ex-ANBU, now Jounin, looking to take him to the Hokage's. He doesn't expect himself to be so fast as he readied his clothes and his headband, a wave of nostalgia shooting through him as his chakra flares. They are there quickly – Kakashi's silent and tired silhouette welcoming them wearily, Sasuke finding the literal sunshine emanating off the people awaiting annoying. And, well, endearing. Sakura's pink, now slightly longer hair that is the lead role in his wildest dreams and nightmares is in a braid, the toned muscle she has covered by a thin summer dress, no trace of her headband. The summer dress was so light and tight, it made him want to sallivate. "Here he is, all ready for a mission. Didn't I tell you we might have some problems with him, Kakashi-sensei?" "Well you must have mentioned," the silver-haired Hatake smirks underneath the mask, favoring the presence of his former students plus Sai. Naruto's comments are only natural to Sasuke, so he gives no reaction. "Naruto, this is a mission, after all. A mission of you four relaxing!" Good-naturedly putting his hands on his hips as he stands up from his chair, Kakashi looks over each of them. "Sai doesn't even know what the word vacation means... Sasuke thinks it's a tropical animal probably. God knows you need one, Sakura... and as for you, Naruto..." trailing off, as if not knowing whether he is finding a good word or not, he coughs up a bile,"we all know you deserve one." "Hurrah!" Loud exclamating of the blonde moron positively burst Sasuke's eardrums, he wonders what did he do to deserve this. But, in a second, he doesn't like the answer to the question. "Sakura-chan, Sai, Sasuke! Let's go to the hot baths and have a vacation like never before!" = Somehow, Sasuke is content. The futons they sleep on in the beautifully furnished inn are warm and comfortable, and he only remembers that the comfort of his own bed could rival it. So why does he fucking avoid it like plague? Because he is already plagued. Shit got real the night he finally realized that Sakura's hair is the softest fucking thing, that she reads him like a book, knowing how he breathes, all the things he hates (there's too many), how he doesn't like to eat ramen if it isn't with Dobe, or her. How he can't tolerate his eyes being nearly boiled out of his skull while Hyuga fucking Yuuno is worried about her ponytail. The utmost respect and damn near adoration for her skill and passion for medical ninjutsu, loyalty to the quite annoying person who has taught it to her, and all the nights he would make his small patrols to find her under the light of a candle, reading yet another scroll on headaches and how to remedy those caused by Rinnegan of all things, and it's their little secret. There is the second type of plague. When he can't stop thinking about how warm her eyes are, and how aflame they would be if he just sucked on her most secret place, there, in the crook of her inner things, and he would sigh, because she'd be all warm and wet and- Crap. He earned himself a hard-on. He thought of her as a specific kind of medication one couldn't take a little more than just prescribed, because if they did – he would be addicted. Like the heady scent of chemicals – so inviting, but capable of doom. He would take not the prescribed amount – he would take so much his doctor would scream at him to stop. And he would like to make her scream soon.
