[ayo-galitzine]

thinking of writing a (kinda sorta) the summer i turned pretty wilmon au

simon and sara and linda are close family friends with wille and erik and kristina and ludvig, and have spent every summer for as long as simon can remember at their beach house, in some cute quaint little town by the ocean. kristina and ludvig are like second parents to simon and erik is like the big brother simon never had. but wille...wille is a year old than simon, and they've been thick as thieves since they were small. simon's had a crush on wille since absolutely forever, and there's been hints over the years that wille likes him, too (he gave simon his cross necklace, once, and it was oddly sweet). except, up until now it's all been childlike and innocent and nothing but a regular friendship between them. but this summer-

this summer, simon has just turned 17, and he's out to all his family and friends, and rosh and ayub (his friends from home) keep telling simon how good he looks, and simon starts to think that maybe this is the summer he and wille will finally admit their feelings for each other and actually do something about it.

simon's ready, ready to fall in love and have the best summer of his life, but when they arrive at kristina and ludvig's beach house, wille is different- he's sullen and withdrawn and so moody, not goofy and fun like simon remembers from years past, and simon is totally heartbroken: he feels like wille barely wants to be his friend anymore, much less anything else, and he doesn't understand why

(it turns out erik is sick and he and kristina and ludvig are hiding the news from everyone else, including wille, so they can have one last perfect summer, but wille found out anyways and doesn't know how to deal with the idea of potentially losing his brother and also that his whole family is keeping something so huge from him)

meanwhile, kristina is trying to convince simon to take part in the beautillion ball, the male equivalent of the debs ("it's very progressive now," kristina tells him. "they don't care if you're straight or gay or whatever kids are calling it these days") and she's offers to pay for the whole thing. simon thinks it's a totally antiquated tradition and it will just be him and a bunch of rich kids, so he isn't interested, but erik convinces him- he did it when he was younger and it wasn't that bad (plus erik secretly wants wille to offer to escort simon to the ball because he knows it will make wille happy, and erik wants to see his brother fall in love, because he might not be around for another summer) so simon agrees to it

except- simon has no idea how to even talk to wille anymore, so he hesitates to ask wille to the ball, and wille is also scared to bring up the idea of being simon's escort (he and simon are best friends, or at least, they were, and if wille might lose erik, he can't share his true feelings for simon and risk losing him, too)

so, simon grows more and more distant from wille. he ends up going on a bunch of dates with another boy who is in town for the summer named marcus, who simon guesses is nice enough and can relate to everything simon has been going through with micke (he and linda divorced last summer), and simon thinks about asking marcus to escort him to the ball, but he can't stop thinking about wille and doesn't think it's fair to marcus to ask, and he debates breaking the whole thing off

meanwhile, wille is...not doing great. he's stressed and overwhelmed about erik being sick, and he's sad that simon might be falling in love with someone else, and he wants to take simon to the ball and show him off in front of everyone, but- he can't. so he starts drinking and smoking more and taking pills that august deals him during the late-night beach bonfires, and he isn't himself at all, until he finally blows up one night. he tries to fight marcus or do something really dumb that forces simon to call erik and beg for help and it all comes out that wille knows erik is sick and dying and why wouldn't he tell wille

and now simon understands why wille's been acting that way he has, but wille is still having trouble opening up, until he starts giving sailing lessons to boris, this old man who has lived in the town forever, and boris gives him sage life advice and wille realizes he needs to tell simon how he really feels, like, now, or he might actually lose him forever

wille has this realization the same night as the ball, and he tells boris he has to go and hurries back to his parents beach house- but simon is no where to be found. it turns out simon has already gone to the ball early to prepare, and is planning to be one of the only boys that's participating without an escort

wille tries to get to the ball but it's across the town and he's held up (by a bad storm?? and his car gets stuck in the mud or something equally inconvenient and ridiculous) and when he bursts in, simon is just about to be announced, and wille is sopping wet and breaking every antiquated rule of decorum of the ball as he marches across the ballroom, dripping water, and says that he's simon's escort and he'll be giving him away (or however the heck these balls work i have no idea)

and he and wille dance and laugh the night away, and after they sneak off to the beach and really talk, for what seems like the first time that summer, and finally, they kiss each other for the first time, and it's way better than simon ever imagined over all these years

(and it turns out that erik's been accepted into a trial for an experimental cancer treatment that's had successful results, and his blood results are looking okay, and there's a chance he might be fine after all, what a relief. and maybe linda has also found love this summer, too, and sara is reveling in her first real friendship with felice)

so simon and wille spend the last few weeks of the summer together in that little beach town, and with sara and their parents and erik and they soak it all in

also there is lots of drive-in movies and beach bonfires and fireworks and rich kid parties and maybe a charity sailing tournament where simon totally doesn't stare at willes arms the whole time, and late night swimming and skinny dipping and whatever other summer stereotypes i can possibly think of

#young royals #young royals fanfiction #anyways i've never actually read the summer i turned pretty books #i've just watched the tv show #so it would be more like a childhood friends to lovers beach house au or something like that #idk if i actually have the energy to write the whole thing #and it would probably get out of hand and be way too long #but i like this idea and i want to work on it so maybe i'll try #also this post is over 1k words already LOL #whoops

[orcelito]

Admitting defeat and making the smut fic into a series bc I have two other SHORTER!!!!!! things I wanna do for it

I'm physically incapable of doing a true one-shot......

#speculation nation #if it takes me too long to write im gonna stop and go back to ITNL first #bc i dont want it to go too long without an update #but there are. 2 more things i wanna do. #a vash pov in the 2nd pic. then back to wolfwood pov for the 3rd. #neither of them should be. As Long. as the first one. im hoping... #im just. i went and starved myself from ww for so long that at the first taste of having him back my brain is just like #'oh my FUCKING god i have to drown in him Right Fucking Now' #and. so. well. here we are lol #...i already started the 2nd fic... it's already at nearly 1k words.... waaa

[pyrriax]

i cannot write zam how i normally write. there;s somethign aabout him that just makes me go "i need to make this actually agony." and i dontn know how i kkep doign this.

Instead, he feels… Comfortable. Not as comfortable as he could be, though really, he doubts he'll ever feel really comfortable as long as he lives. The nagging of worries will always live in the back of his mind, the knowledge that it's only a matter of time before he's hunted again catching in the cogs of his mind. Maybe it's not such a bad thing, to keep a healthy bit of fear alive as kindling. Sure, he doesn't need the fire right now, but it's only a matter of time. It's always just a matter of time with him. Getting up from his spot, the odd number of chairs is still an amusing sight. Even when he was alone in his castle, he filled the empty spaces in anticipation of guests, left himself open to the opportunity of letting guests in. But here? There's space for the three of them and nothing more, nothing less. No matter how spacious the base itself is, a grand work that had him awed the first time he saw it, it only welcomes three.

finaly started writng (y)our road to joy btw. um. itis going SOMEWHERE!

What’s taking so long, Grandma? he teases as Fitz reaches the first branch below him, his face flushed and tongue unconsciously sticking out between his teeth as he grins.  I never said I agreed for it to be a race, he argues.  You’re just saying that because you lost.

i hope I explode all of your brains with this one (its a childhood memory). sokeefitzing it UP in this bitch

#kotlc #i know sophie's not in this excerpt but i promise it IS a sokeefitz fic #we'll see if I have any idea what i'm doing #usually the more I lose my mind the better it is #so hopefully I go apeshit #i have 1k words left today and have already had many extra things this week so gonna try and bulldoze through! #but full of creation

[clownjail]

people who write 10k or even 5k for one chapter are not only gods strongest soldiers but are god’s best soldiers, and deserve all the support and love in the world, because me personally I get up to 2k and want to end it all

#i think to see myself “wow i wrote so much! and then I look at the word count and it barely hit 1k KSSJKSKS #like anything past 2k im like i need to wrap this shit up already I’m tired 😭😭 #like idk maybe im not creative enough to stretch a one chapter fic into 5k 😭😭 #pacing is another issue I have because im currently writing the first kiss hc for the stellar twins x reader (separately) #and I’m at 1.4k for louterstella x reader and these mfs still haven’t kissed yet like damn am I going too slow?? 😭😭 #bloo mumbles rumbles

fic update!!!

alright you little rascals!! i've mentioned a couple times here that I'm working on a new Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde centric fanfiction. Well, it isn't done, not by a long shot. But I am proud to report that it is my longest by FAR. Just chapter 3 is longer than Mortify Curiosity (my prev fic). So, to hold you fiends over, I'm posting a little bit of info about the fic here so y'all can decide if it's a good read for you before it even comes out!!! Said info will be below the cut ^^

Starting off with the basics!! Here's a screenshot from the AO3 draft with the title, tags, and summary.

Like with Mortify Curiosity, my other chaptered fic, I'm finishing this fic COMPLETELY before posting. I know the sting of an unfinished fic, and I wouldn't do that to you.

For some other info: chapter count and chapter titles, plus word count if the chapters are finished! -- -Chapter 1: What is sought is most often found, if it is truly sought -- Word count: 5,141 -Chapter 2: You know all the right moves; use them -- Word count: 7,411 -Chapter 3: Keep in mind the deadline is closing in -- Word count: 12,968 -Chapter 4: His affections, like ivy, were the growth of time -- Word count: ??? -Chapter 5: Confront what frightens or offends you -- Word count: ??? -Chapter 6: That child of Hell had nothing human -- Word count: ??? -Current total word count: 27,739 Just warning y'all, do not expect the other chapters to be as long as chapter 3. I literally do not know what possessed me to write an almost 13k word chapter it just. kinda happened. Chapter 4 is currently sitting at a cool 2,220 words, and I haven't really gotten into the nitty gritty. So it'll probably be a long one too.

Finally, just for you guys, I'll give you a little excerpt from the opening. You'll probably have to click to read, but this is the first 550-ish words. Enjoy ur little snack hehe

i'll reblog this post when the fic comes out so yall can find it huehue

#monster high #holt hyde #jackson jekyll #monster high g3 #nix fanfics #ive had literally so much fun with this fic!!! #i have the basic outline p much..... now i just gotta WRITE it #i really hope this will be worth the wait OTL #my jobs got my ass workin tho.. so we'll see how the fic goes #just got out of a minor writer's block #so im hoping to get around 1.5k-2k words per day but thats VERY optimistic #id be happy with just 1k tbh #but im a slow writer QAQ #hope yall assholes are patient because this one could be a while #it's already been in the works about a month..... #plus all the other stuff i wanna do #we'll see when it comes out #whenever i rb this post :3

I love writing homoerotic tension between two fictional mfers who haven't seen each other in years and one thought the other was dead. 😫😫🖐️

(some slightly censored bits of a WIP I have. These are OCs from a story I'm in the process of. So a work in progress. The white stuff is lore specific stuff I don't want to share. The black and red are the two OCs names I wanted to censor lol)

These aren't in order. It's just snippets I liked and wanted to share.

#writeblr #writers community #writing #writers on tumblr #writerscommunity #writers #*.☽ .*boneskullrr*.☽ .* #A & Z #this is only chapter 1 but i almost wrote 3k words which is such a pat pat on the back for me because i usually struggle to make chapters #that are longer than 1k! i just finished this after about 3 days? I've been trying to write 500 words a day. there were a few times i went #over that limit which is like!! wow!! #i know it might not seem impressive but i struggle heavily with writers block and being my own worst critic. which paralyzes me from writin #but like... im trying. i really am. gotta take baby steps aha. i got ideas. i got some notes for stuff #I've already started world building a little. these two came out of fucking nowhere though. they weren't even supposed to be part of this #story. like it was supposed to be mainly sbout another guy i have specifically nade for this world. 😭😭who I haven't even introduced into #the story yet LOL

[ggukiepie]

WOWOW. one of your girls is so yummy.

very excited for next part and to see your perspective and ideas.

but for me i think we’d need more angst rather then revenge. im assuming jk has lots of friends who he sleeps with and its not just yn. which means to him yn is nothing special (unfortunately) thats why i dont see the point of ‘revenge’ because realistically i dont think jk really cares if yn fucks with someone else which has been proved in already the first part. (jk knows yn sleeps with jimin yet doesnt seem to really care and only wants sex.) he only looked for her to sleep with her in the first place & not because he wanted to have a friendly conversation or check up on her. he started touching her before he knew about her sleeping with someone else.

its kinda the same with yn as yn also slept with jimin (which was so hot.) , except she seems to be interested in jungkook. but i dont think yn is really letting jk walk all over her because shes well aware that jk sleeps with other woman and she knows he lied to her yet choose to not speak up. although i love how she can control herself cause if i was in her place id try bring attention to myself and make jk jealous OR js go up to him and slap him especially when he said he ‘just’ left the party while he has a red stain on his shirt 🥸 but by the way she controlled herself and didnt even let jk know that she saw him with another woman, it seems like she knows her feelings wouldnt matter to him because its probably casual for him to be with another (multiple) woman each night.

AND FOR THAT REASONNN^^^ i think the song suits it smmm 😣😣 it fits so perfectly. ive been nonstop listening to the song before i read it and its the first story that im so interested in to write about my opinion. ANYWAYS BACK TO THE STORY.

so maybe shes okay with just simply being one of his girls because she knows she wouldnt be anything more & also she may not want to stop sleeping with him because thats the only way he can be close to her relationship wise.

which means yn is literally just one of his girls for some of his nights. I LOVE THAT SMSMSM. also everything here is simply my opinion and arguments as to why there should be more angst rather then revenge for atleast now until theres more development in their characters and we’d know more. althought idk how many parts ur willing to give in for this. BUT thats simply my perspective, if u think of the story differently and wanted to choose a different way for them thats cool too

i talk alot im gonna stfu now but i really like ur writing and ur idea for it was really cool. im waiting for the next part, take ur time and i hope everythings well for you. 😁

-soo ??

nooooo you're literally so so sweet. thank you so much for taking the time to send me this message. i love ur review !!

im glad u got to see how i related the song and the story. yeah, yn is a bit...not in the right head space 😭 atp she's already given up on the chance that maybe jk might like her back. ofc she can't help but feel sad bc she fell for him. ure right that she's content with being one of his girls, she'll take whatever jungkook gives her :( she didn't even have to ask jk if he slept w that girl bc she already knows 🤧

on jk finding out abt yn and jimin - jk did ask her if they're friends "like us?" i wonder what he meant 🤔

maybe i can write a short backstory of yn and jk hmmmm

#thank u again !! this message made me smile #also gave me more inspo haha #i do have some ideas and i've written maybe 1k words already #asks #anon #anon soo #fic ooyg

Higgs heatstroke fic is going on hiatus i got a bug for the insomnia prompt

#got hit with that 1am inspiration last night and i have almost 1k words already lmao #death stranding #higgs monaghan

[dallonwrites]

organised everything i have for it so far + tentatively cut some things (that i may put back if i find there’s missing beats but otherwise they were kinda unnecessary for the current vision) and refined my chapter two outline so if i have time at work tomorrow i can play around with it and write something like yayyyy i love when past me sets myself up like this

#it’s def a beast of a chapter but I have a better grasp on it now #i already knew this but realising how much the idea of writing long litfic chapters gives me anxiety like #I keep thinking it’s overwriting! that im not being efficient enough! #when it’s like girl craft theory aside this story is for YOU! #I think mainly it’s still not knowing how the balance will be like #ch1 is a mystery bc I’m reworking that but chapter 3 is gonna be under 1k #whereas this is def breaking 7k I think #I will see i like the idea of playing w chapter lengths ! #there’s a middle part between parts 1 and 2 that’s just one long chapter which will be so fun #but at the same time I kinda have to be mindful of chapter lengths atm #because I want that one to be effective in its length and idk if it will be if there’s chapters past a certain word count #I will def have time at work to write tho. without elaborating on my job I am there all day + sleep there 💖

Curtis (Bruce in UC: Undercover S01E12) takes the fall for his and John's (Jeffrey in Criminal minds S09E12) crimes when the cops get too close

when Curtis is finally released after 10 years him and John meet in the hotel where they last held each other, they hadn't been able to visit without raising eyebrows due to John's past record

They talked a handful of times when Curtis could borrow a smuggled cellphone.

10 years is a long time to wait

(I have a rough draft that's about 1k+ words rn and more ideas to add idk if I'll post it on here/ao3 tho)

#rap3 mention #murder mention #these are terrible men that i ship #its bad im bad #danbert ajacent ship #johntis #love that im putting this on the Internet #ive already written 1k+ words for them and i have more

#i’m already questioning my choices 🤨😭 sksnsjs #SJSJSJSJ this is probably not the brightest of ideas considering first of all that i hardly ever write fics over 2k words SJSJSJJD #the longest fic ive written was my one jay one over 4k or smth? 😭 #and second of all i’m still in the midst of my writer’s block sksjsjsj #but i will try to push through bc if i can do this it’ll be absolutely incredible and i would amaze myself dnsnsjdj #i have an outline and that itself is already almost 1k so sksnsjsj it’s looking good 🤩 #wish me luck yall 🥹 #em speaks

oh i'm actually liking how this essay is going

#i think i've got part 1 down to a point where i like it. it's 1200 words which is shorter than i would've liked but i have already done two #posts on mizuki trans coding so like i don't wanna just copypaste all that so i just summarised it #it's really sad actually the total word count on this is 2.37k and about 1k of that is the plan #i wrote a very detailed plan #also i just wrote a really banging sentence and i'll probably think it's terrible tomorrow bc it's nearly 1am now but yeah
