September 2023 Writing Round-Up

I just checked my tags, and I haven't done one of these since… three years ago. Exactly three years ago yesterday (9/29/20), to be precise. Which was pretty much when my mental health and my personal life started to crumble in earnest, and it took my desire to write for public consumption along with it.

Most of what I did for the rest of 2020/2021 were either struggling to finish works in progress (and largely failing) or archiving stuff from my LJ days. I didn't post anything in 2022. I was still writing (a lot) but it was either for Patreon (…fuck, right, I have a Patreon) or it was personal, not meant to be shared.

And then Good Omens came back and ended up being really fucking relevant to my life, and @meldanya44 was there urging me to get back into writing for other people besides her. I think it was a good idea, over all. ♥

So… yeah. Thanks, Good Omens fandom, for reminding me that writing is meant to be shared, and that I am a prompt-based lifeform. (I'll be putting up a new prompt list tomorrow, if anyone wants an artisanally crafted bespoke ficlet of their very own.)

Anyway, here's what I did in September:

Authorial Intent (G, one-shot): Michael’s plan to erase Aziraphale from the Book of Life has certain… flaws. A revision of the final season of S2 Ep6, where the Metatron does not make an appearance. (Actually posted at the end of August but this is my list and it counts. Written very shortly after I finished S2 for the first time. Effervescing with joy.)

Put Out the Stars (T, currently a one-shot, planning to continue): Crowley stole the photo of himself and Aziraphale from the shop a long time ago. (Inspired by one of @fellshish's asks. Angst angst angst… with more to come!)

An Invisible Wound (T, one-shot): “I almost killed you tonight.” “I almost got you killed tonight.” Their first kiss, soft and futile, is in 1941. (Bittersweet canon-compliant 1941 truthers unite.)

After the Rain (T, one-shot; for @meldanya44): The Second Coming has come and gone, and Crowley was calling him ‘angel’ again. (Wonderful quiet post-series fluff.)

Like Petals in a Storm (M, currently a standalone but working on a sequel; for @meldanya44): Between the discorporation and the almost-execution, Aziraphale’s having a bit of trouble keeping body and soul together. (My reputation-mandated 'one partner helps another bathe' fic.)

The Taste of Salt (G, one-shot; for @iamhisgloriouspurpose): The lingering taste of ox ribs are bitter and rich in Aziraphale's mouth, and he isn't sure what he believes anymore. (Continues the 'I'm not taking you to Hell, angel' scene in the Ep2 minisode. Nice and angsty. No one seems to like this one and I'm not sure why.)

Pipe Dream (G, one-shot; for @unwholesome-gay): All Aziraphale has ever wanted is to give heaven back to Crowley. (Domestic fluff about Aziraphale buying the South Downs cottage for Crowley. Fun fact: I struggled to write this and finally posted it in dismay and tried to forget about it. And then my inbox exploded with HEARTS, so I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought.)

The Patience of Angels, Chs 1-4 (M, multi-chapter WIP): An old enemy is on the hunt for the demon known as Crowley, and it will take all the powers of one very protective angel to save him. But in keeping Crowley safe, Aziraphale will uncover more of the terrible truths of Heaven than he ever wanted to know. (The longfic I first conceived of in 2019 and then never got around to finishing enough to post, and am now trying to revise the HELL out of in real-time because the original version doesn't work anymore. I love this fic with a burning passion and hope it finds an audience someday… which it probably will if I can update it, y'know, more often than once a month…)

Fics Posted: 8 Word Count: 28,182

I'm never going to be as prolific as I was when I was in the MCU fandom and had a much less-hectic job, but I'd call that a decent comeback. Thanks, everyone. ♥

My body still feels like a wreck from moving and cleaning last week, but i have been doing some spring cleaning of my own at home. Carried some boxes i need to keep to the storage from sitting in the high shelves(stuff like pc screen& tablet boxes), and threw away some things that were worn out enough to be replaced and whatnot. Pretty happy to see that I'm not hoarding much useless stuff around!

I'll be able to put those little ceramic palettes up for sale soon, and I think i'll try and get rid of the remaining hand bound notebooks I've made at the same time, sell those for a significantly lowered price. I'm really surprised that people pledged to my patreon! I hope to keep it updated with art and stuff enough to make it worth the money ♥ I've got 2 traditional painting comms coming up, and I'd like to put some digital slots up after those. I'm hoping those would give me the little extra funds to get stuff that i need to replace (some kitchen tools, new vacuum...) some more art supplies I'm running real low on, and some other materials.

My sister is driving by to drop the cat off here tomorrow and I'm pretty excited to have my little old man back after 9 years of him staying with my mom. (i didn't have the heart to take him back after seeing how much having him around meant for my mom... but now it had to be done.) I was able to buy him some basic stuff, but i'll need some extra money to get him a little scratching post/tree to loaf on, and stocking up on food and litter. And take him to the vet for check up after some time. (I mainly want to get his teeth checked since Coons have large jaws and he's mostly been on high quality kibble diet) Oh, and i need to DIY something to block either my balcony doorway or one of the glass panels of the balcony for summer. I want it cat proof but still be able to set up my little aircon unit, because I know I will need it by july/august... Next time I stream though, there just might be a little Cat Cam added. I know the lad is going to sleep next to me on my desk after he gets comfy around here, so might as well take advantage of that, lol.

I really do want to be able to keep a comfy level of hustle going with things. It would be so easy to not do anything when feeling tired mentally and physically, but that leads into stagnation and then depressive episode so quickly, I'd rather try to keep rolling. Even if it's a real struggle some days or weeks.

#shut up yoi #prepare your eyeballs for a lot more cat photos from now on
