This has been sitting in my drafts for so long

°•○

Villain tucked his finger under her chin, forcing Sidekick's teary brown eyes to meet his.

"Well, aren't you a little darling," he murmured, tilting her face as his steely eyes roved almost clinically across her features. Villain's other index finger traveled up her neck, tracing the line of her jaw.

"I don't know anything-" Sidekick blurted out, her lower lip trembling. So new to the business, Villain mused, she had no idea what she was dealing with. "He doesn't tell me anything, I promise."

"Oh I don't doubt that my darling." He dropped her chin, straightening up to loom over her. "I didn't take you because I thought you had information."

She peered up at him, squinting against the lights. "Why then?"

"Because I've seen how Hero looks at you. He won't leave you to fend for yourself in the wolves den." Chuckling to himself, Villain leaned down until their noses brushed. "And you make such pretty bait."

"He won't come for me. You're wasting your time, Villain." Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Villain chuckled and snapped his fingers. Immediately, one of his henchmen appeared with a chair. Villain took a seat across from Sidekick.

"Well then, we just have that much more time to get to know each other don't we?"

Sidekick pressed her lips into a thin line to stop the tears from falling. Villain watched with rapt fascination before he reached out to smooth his thumb over her cheek.

"Oh, pretty girl," he crooned gently, "don't cry now."

She presses her lips together. "I'm sorry."

He hates when I cry, she doesn't say. He hates that I'm too soft for this, she doesn't say. He despises me, she doesn't say, because my power is useless.

"Don't be." Villain sits back. "What is it you do, exactly - aside from take his bullets, of course."

"Excuse me?" She frowned indignantly. Oh, he's offended her now, on top of making her almost-cry, lovely.

"Its true. Whenever he's about to be hurt, you duck in front like a good little sidekick and take the hit."

"Better me than him," she blurts out. Immediately, Sidekick is clamping her mouth shut, wishing she could take the words back.

"What?"

She blushes. "My power helps. Its the only thing I'm good for. It's stupid."

"Tell me." He looks genuinely curious, eyebrows furrowing slightly as he tips his head to the side.

"Hero says it's not a real power. I can't really do much with it, but sometimes it comes in useful-"

"Sweetheart," Villain cut her off, "nothing about you could be stupid."

So she told him. He stared. And stared. And stared some more.

"I'll kill him."

"Wh- no, no you can't. He's good. He's helping the city."

"Is he now?"

"Yes." Sidekick lifted her chin defiantly. "He's saving it from you."

"I see." Villain stroked his chin. "So Hero is the epitome of good then, is he?"

"Yes."

"And I'm evil?"

"Yes." This one came out less sure. Villain arched an eyebrow. "You haven't hurt me yet."

"That's because I don't like damaging pretty things." Villain leaned closer. "And you are so pretty to look at."

Sidekick swallowed.

"I think I keep you," Villain said. "Hero hasn't been taking care of you, clearly-" he gestured to her general person, a scar on every exposed inch of skin- "if he doesn't show up in a week, I'm keeping you."

"You can't just keep me."

Villain patted her cheek fondly. "Watch me."

recently what's been helping me get over my perfectionism within my writing & worldbuilding is reminding myself how all ideas seem simple at their core.

that when i look at any piece of media i'm truly fascinated by and decide to fragmentise it and put it in a few words it will always feel small. that doesn't, however, mean that it's actually small on the surface level. it doesn't mirror the actual importance & size of your ideas.

you hear it from someone who just 2 years ago would actively throw all my ideas into the trash because they "didn't seem serious enough" or didn't "feel badass" enough to me. back then i had basically nothing (compared to today) lore-wise because everything would end up discarded.

5, 7, 11, 24, and 29. I'll stop there even though I'm oh-so-tempted to keep going!

Dear Sweet Baby Zeus, Sarah! Why are you so mean to me? Did I piss on a maple leaf? Kick a bunny in front of you? Why do you enjoy my pain? I could do an entire post just on #5 alone 😆. Maaaaan, this is gonna be so freakin' long…

5. How many wips do you have? What fandoms/pairings are they for?

I have a lot. Several of them are fully written, but not edited. I'm only gonna count ones where I wrote at least a paragraph and not the ones that have extensive notes or complicated outlines but no actual story yet. So lemme see... That'd be... 17. JFC.

LITG S1 AU: Levi vs Jake x MC

LITG S3 Villa: Nicky x MC

LITG S1-S2 AU: Levi + Lucas

LITG S2 Royal Werewolf AU #1: Bobby + MC

LITG S2 TSIME AU: Noah x Lili

LITG S2 Royal AU: Lucas x Arjun

LITG S2 Royal Werewolf AU #2: Bobby x MC

LITG S2 College AU: Lucas vs Noah vs Bobby x MC

LITG S2 Villa: Bobby x Marisol--it's cursed I know

LITG S2 Post Villa: Lucas x MC x Bobby

LITG S2 Villa & Post Villa: Lucas x MC

LITG S2 AU: Arjun x MC

LITG S5 Post Villa: Suresh (non romance)

LITG S2 Post Villa Divorce: Bobby x MC

LITG S3 Therapy AU: Seb x MC

LITG S2 College AU: Rahim (non romance)

LITG S6 Villa: Marshall x Lewie x Ozzy x MC

I might have to let go of some of these S2 ones. Ain't nobody reading S2 anymore. Sigh.

7. Post a snippet from a wip.

She laughed, the tension in her releasing. “Do you want to get my heart racing, Lewie?” His own soft chuckle faded and he stepped closer to her and lowered his voice. “I really do.” And just like that, the tension, the ache, returned two-fold. What was this man doing to her? He reached over and stroked her jaw. “Do you want me to get your blood pumping?” She found herself quivering beneath his touch. “Maybe.” “Just maybe?”  “I’m receptive to it.” He grinned and pulled her closer. “I’d prefer you to be keen. Maybe even enthused.” The bright blue of his eyes dazed her like a midday summer sky. “I can offer you amenable," she said. “Damned with faint interest." He picked her up and put her on the counter, letting his hands rest on her hips. God she loved when he did that. “I fear I need to give you something to make you a little more enthusiastic.” “You might have to,” she whispered. 

11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?

This is a good question! I don't usually think much about it. I rarely write dual POV for fanfic, because it's time consuming and I'm lazy. So when I know the premise, I generally know who's POV it'll be in. Like, in one of my wips, I decided that Levi is just discovering that he's bisexual and the story will follow him going from closeted to out so he can be with Lucas (who is already out and resents being shoved back in). Since Levi is the one who is going to grow and change, the story was always gonna be in his POV in my head.

With TSIME I DID plan to write Beach Hut Confessionals from Lili's point of view and scatter them throughout the story, but after the first one I realized that I liked it better when we only saw things through Bobby's lens.

29. What’s something about your writing that you’re proud of?

I'm proud of writing small moments that foreshadow the big emotional impacts to come. Most people never even notice them, so they're kind of just something for me. TSIME has a fuck ton of them.

**WARNING: THE SUN IN MY EYES SPOILERS AHEAD)** Bobby and Lili share a cup of tea and Lili turns the mug so her lips touch the same spot his do, foreshadowing the first kiss she'll instigate many chapters later (though she'll forever say that Bobby instigated it). Lili tells Bobby early on that "people leave." And there are numerous scenes of him watching her walk away from him. All of it foreshadowing what happens after CA. Bobby tells Lili she should fall madly in love with him and she says it's a bad idea and he quotes a line from Thirty Rock, telling her there are no bad ideas. Only good ideas that go horribly wrong. Foreshadowing their relationship in the villa as a whole.

My favorite is when Noah grabbed Lili, threw her over his shoulder and walked off with her, saying, "Sorry Bobby, I'm stealing your girl," foreshadowing the disaster recoupling and something that happened later after the show between Lili and Noah. FYI I have a one shot for that one as soon as I post the last chapter of TSIME. It's both distressing and sexy. Thanks for the interrogation, Sarah 😝 You jerk.
