I've just found your blog and started reading your stories - I don't know how I didn't find you before considering how much I love monster romance!

I don't know which of your stories are the oldest or newest so I'm just going to comment on the ones I read as I go

I lived for the On the Alter story with the dragon and the knight!!! Pytho was so sweet (if a little misguided but honestly all of them were) and a real breath of fresh air from the way dragons are typically written as regal and brooding and mysterious - he felt like the MC of a romcom he's such a sweetheart.

The knight was so mysterious but I like that he wasn't stuck in his brooding and had some personality show through - showing that not only was he loosening up around them but they were getting better at reading his emotions behind the helmet. Or makes sense too BC he would have gotten used to ppl not being able to read past the helmet and wouldn't actually be very good at hiding emotions

Something I like about your stories so far is that the characters feel emotions wholly and unapologetically and it makes a connection for the reader to also feel the emotions more.

The connection between the readers character (idk how you refer to them - MC? Y/N? R?) And the knight both having a duty of service that was very self destructive and misguided really cemented their relationship.

The fact that at the end they still wanted to go on adventures but it was no longer as self destructive bc they (all 3) had learnt to care for each other and want each other safe and learnt their worth while together. And how they still wanted to go on adventures and didn't lose that aspect of their personality but instead shifted into the reason behind their duties of service which was wanting to help others.

Poor pytho thinking they were leaving him but resigning himself to it BC he wanted them to be happy just like how he let the reader go the first time! I love how excited he was that the reader came back and that the knight and the reader weren't leaving forever! Honestly the way you wrote the readers want to leave to serve the people was really respectful and tender in a way that didn't paint them as in the wrong for wanting that bc they were brainwashed and not stupid for being so and they wanted to help. And the way you wrote the quiet yearning they had to want to get back to Pytho

And their distress when Phillip and Pytho were fighting 😢!!!

I love them your honour

Oh my god thank you so much, you have no idea how happy this ask made me.

Listen, I love a good brooding, mysterious monster but if they are left alone in caves and stuff, some of them are going to be lonely and just desperate for any sort of company and I feel like we do not see enough of them lol

Figuring out how to make Phillip emote behind armour was so fun but also, I realized how frustrating that would be from both ends, not just to those trying to read him. He's used to not being perceived properly and it so severely limits the ways you can communicate and be understood (which honestly I think he leans into like you said)

I really love the connections between all of the characters so much, Phillip and reader's self-destructive obsession with duty, the way Pytho and reader both feel discarded by their people, the social isolation of Pytho and Phillip, I think they're all just mirrors of each other in such delightful ways :)

One of my favorite parts of the whole story was the ending and how like, none of them are fixed at the end. None of them fully care about their own well-being in a healthy way, but the way they care about each other is just nudging them in the right direction, helping them find the right actions while the self-worth and proper motivation will come later.

I truly cannot thank you enough for this ask, absolutely made my day

#asks #I love when people do this so so much #ur analysis was all so good I adore you #im 🥰🥰🥰

2. word count posted for this year: 101,410 (technically More bc i wrote ofic but that is obviously not posted anywhere)

3. fandoms i wrote for: marvel (spider-man), dc (batman, superman), pjo, the atlas series, six of crows, the raven cycle/the dreamer trilogy, hp, and goncharov 😭

4. pairings: petermj, petergwen, percabeth, libbynico, kanej, bluesey, blue/adam, clois, gonchandrey

5. stories with the most

kudos: accidental heroism (the batman) 3,357 bookmarks: the jones-watson-parkers (spider-man) 844 but since that was posted last year it's technically accidental heroism again w 640 comment threads: yet again... the jones-watson-parkers with 133 but it is still accidental heroism with 47

6. work i'm most proud of (and why): ummmm idk actually the work im most proud of is my ofic theo and i cannot Show that to u anyway it's bc i have never rly fully revised smth like. overhauled it n all that bc i finally Understood theo's character and it was such a RUSH to work on her fr and ive produced some of my Best Writing To Date!!! for fic tho uh??!??!?!? im pretty proud of most fic ive written this year bc i have tried rly hard ok 😭 usually i can pinpoint a single fic but i think ive written consistently well ???

7. work i'm least proud of (and why): a home for two (spider-man) mostly because i did Not vibe writing it i was literally pulling teeth trying to finish it but ppl seem to like it idk

8. share of describe a favorite review you received: this comment from a fic i posted last year bc "this fic is so PRETTY, literally poem in prose form im weeping. there's such a... melancholic vibe to it. or perhaps nostalgic. just, wow." has stuck w me forEVER!! and genuinely any comment i have even received from ao3 user Fairy527...u will ALWAYS be famous 2 MEEE!!!!!!

9. a time when writing was really, really hard: uh not for fic but i was tearing my hair out writing theo partially because of the content and partially because it is quite literally Difficult to write what's perfect in your head and i haven't even written theo to my own standards ngl

10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: the entirety of final goodbye because. Well. who knew i would be writing goncharov fic actually who knew goncharov would even exist fr

11. a favorite excerpt of your writing: ok not to have an ego but there r a fair few bits

Here's the thing about loss: sometimes you grow up and around a person, fitting and stretching and expanding to add them to the patchwork of yourself, and when they leave, there's a scar between both bodies. One here, one gone. An open wound. It's surprising how much time you can spend with someone and still come out the other end empty-handed. (slip of reality | spider-man)

Touching her eclipses his image of Elysium. ANDDDD Annabeth faces her past self, a funhouse reflection of who she once was. Neglect and trauma have warped Young Annabeth into something smaller—into someone smaller. (the annabeth project | pjo)

The Ronan after was broken, a raven of a boy, all hollow-boned. Yearned for flight, yet trapped by a cage of his own making. (the living lynches | tdt)

The very fact of her breathing astounds him for some reason. There are working lungs, a network of veins, a beating, beautiful heart hidden inside her body. She is wonderfully, colossally alive. (a kiss without a kiss | trc)

12. how did you grow as a writer this year: oh i have learned to appreciate writing first person bc of theo <3 and writing a little longer things bc i am a serial 1-2k oneshotter and i have Exceeded that a bit

13. how do you hope to grow next year: perhaps i will Finally finish a multichapter fic jesus christ

14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer, beta, cheerleader, etc): seedemma <3 u made me worse as a person. also tangentially em's professor . why has that random man infiltrated my life i've never met him. anyway jack im also kithing u on the mouth btw

15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: none that i can point out at the top of my head ! well. except for theo 🧍🏻‍♀️ i gave her too many lysisms which is concerning considering everything wrong w her n her chronic patheticness

16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers: new wisdom??? god not rly but here is some OLD wisdom that i feel like other writers shld always listen to... read MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!! i swear u can taste the visceral difference btwn someone who writes and reads n someone who writes without reading n like ive read a fair few books this year and it has def seeped into my writing fr

17. any projects you're looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: working on the Novel™ n also attempting to finish all these wips i have left in the grave

18. tag some writers whose answers you'd like to read: ngl i forgot who writes fic im sorry so @bluepinstripes & @ogiroud (who won't see this until jan fr)

Yandere NCT 127

A/N: I'm at my yandere stage, Lord help me this is like my mafia obsession. (poorly written ik but not bad for a 4am idea)

Warnings: Excluded Haechan because of the themes involved [I DO NOT condone this type of behavior, this is just a darker genre that is enjoyable to a distinct audience. If you do not feel comfortable with the elements involved please do not read.]

Taeyong - The Non-Violent Stalker

Started off innocently searching and scrolling through your social media because he "wanted to know more about you", ignoring the signs of his curiosity evolving into an obsession the more he invested in it. At this point he's good at acting like the things you've told him are his first time hearing about them. Has no motive to hurt or disturb you, it's just like watching a Sim doing their promised tasks to him. Despite being caught several times he doesn't seem to try and stop his behavior, and breaking up? You can try.

Taeil - The Zookeeper

In ropes willingly or not, he likes the idea of you being, not necessarily vulnerable, but stuck with him. Normally he'd just find ways to keep you either home or glued to him, but when you try to get away he goes full on chains and shackles. Methods vary, but he'd usually keep you in one specific area, and if you behaved you were free to wander around your enclosure, not that there was much to see anyway. Just your little surveillanced room with him on the other side of the glass. You were his little rarity and his fear and insecurity of you ever leaving would eat him alive before he allowed himself to drag you down to hell with him.

Johnny - The Disciplinarian

I think this is self explanatory. Very charming, his cold demeanor didn't match how warm he was when the two of you were alone. It started after talking back at a dinner party, where you were joking around too much with the guests, he gave one slap on the ass to quiet you down the rest of the night. You thought he was being flirty but no, after glancing up at him he'd give an empty glare.

Punishments vary with how far you've pushed him, and don't think having others around will stop him either. He can easily excuse the both of you off and come back to tending guests without you. Held up by belts and ribbon tied around your wrists, ass glowing red, as he brushes over whatever unmarked skin is left with voices muffled behind the bedroom door.

"It's hard to admire how beautiful you are all tied up for me when you've been misbehaving."

Yuta - The Gothel

Does whatever he can do to keep you home. Manipulates you into feel unsafe leaving the house without him, making you hermit inside more and more. Being invited out by friends become rare at an oddly fast rate, despite you having no problem leaving for a night out. Questionable injuries, unless it's from a wild night in bed you don't know how it happened.

"How did you sprain your ankle? You should stay home."

"How did you fall into a ditch and hurt your arm? You should stay home"

If you're still in and out of the house his strategies become more reckless, still keeping that sweet tone in his voice to cover any suspicion.

"What do you mean you can't feel your legs?"

Doyoung - The Mask

Does everything behind the scenes. The way ppl slowly start to disappear from your inner circle sparked suspicion in you but his innocence made it hard for you to pin him. You slowly lose your mind over the mystery, becoming more dependent on him emotionally, and that's okay. Don't worry, "I'll never leave you."

Jaehyun - The Owner

Doesn't mind having distance between you as long as people know you belong to him. Either bruises or jewelery, he wants it on you, something to show that he gave it to you and to make it clear that you're taken. The one to rush into engagement or at least a promise ring for those who won't show away from your collection of necklaces, and takes pride in seeing others marvel at your silvers and diamonds. When he's really antsy he needs a blemish, a mark, whatever satisfies, on you before he lets go. Isn't very violent and tries to keep it civil, but will do whatever he needs to keep others away, leading you to come back to him.

WinWin - Camera Boy

Was cute for candid moments when you were dating before things seemed off. Always wanted a photo of the smallest memory known or unwanted. Two years in you started feeling watched in your apartment, and after some bargaining, convinced you to move in with him for you to feel safer. Wasn't into following you much and didn't really care to watch, but was more focused on capturing every part of you. Flattering or not, he didn't want to miss it.

Didn't take you long to find a private stash of photos of you. "Don't worry," you jump at the voice behind you. He smiles, closing you into a hug. "Those moments are for safe keeping."

Jungwoo - The physically clingy one

Borderline owner behavior except with physical interaction. Has a time limit for not knowing where you are before he goes too far. An instance is known where you two were split up at a dinner party, leading him to assault a server who seemed overly friendly from his side of the room. If he's not latched around you he's at least holding your hand or fiddling with your clothes. Uneasy when you don't initiate enough or when he feels unloved, resulting in a non physical outburst but nonetheless still scary.

Mark - The Spontaneous one

Torn between being the good guy and surrendering to his urges. Was normal the first few months, like they usually are, but when he suppresses it for too long anything can set him off. Can go from having a dinner party with friends to waking up with a headache at his house in the clothes you wore yesterday. Mean managers disappear, greedy landlords give out, leading you to move in until you find your own place. You can tell when he's off when he keeps to himself more than usual. Other than that he doesn't expose much of that side of him, minus the strange scents lingering around his clothes when coming home but you never get to question it.

#not bad for a girl with no talent #thought abt excluding mark too but i think 20 is a good line to draw #nct imagines #nct reactions #nct scenarios #nct 127 reactions #nct yandere
