floor nineteen
As a window washer Gendry was used to people looking right through him. He never expected any of the people behind the glass to actually notice him, let alone interact with him. Especially not someone like her.
Gendry almost felt bad for the woman behind the glass as he tapped the square he wanted and she drew a big O in it with a dry erase marker. She was trying to do something nice (and it was nice, Gendry’s face hurt from smiling already) and she had no idea how quickly she was about to lose. Gendry had lots of secret talents but the not so secret one that this woman didn’t know was that Gendry had never lost a single game of tic-tac-toe.
It was a quick game as they always were and she lost gracefully, mimicking giving him a handshake through the glass. Gendry laughed and echoed her motion before getting back to his job and cleaning the glass. He noticed as he left that while the woman wiped off the marker on her window, she left the tape up.

for @lumierelalune’s piece, you’ll never sink when you are with me, for the @gendryabigbang!
Playlist | Fic
Read below for song choice explanations 
I. New Girl In Town
Believe / The Bravery 
So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe 
Blow It Up / The Vaccines
Were you ever my age? No, I doubt it. 
Follow Your Arrow / Kacey Musgraves
Just follow your arrow Wherever it points, yeah Follow your arrow Wherever it points
Pt. I describes the headspace I felt Arya was in when she first arrives into town. She’s still on the move, not looking to stay around, busy thinking about the conflict between her and her parents. 
II. Exploring
The Passenger / Siouxsie and The Banshees
I am the passenger And I ride and I ride I ride through the city's backside I see the stars come out of the sky
Black Shoes / The Films
So think about it first Before you make it worse 'Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder And if it all works out There won't be a doubt at all You're headed for the boiling water
Arya sees the real beauty around her when she’s on her bike, but she still isn’t convinced that she’ll be staying there. The second song, Black Shoes, is my way of including Arya’s hesitance to grow roots anywhere. 
III. Settling In/The Birthday Party
Hungry Heart / Bruce Springsteen
Everybody's got a hungry heart
All Night / Big Boi
If it's all right I wanna kick it with you all night, all night Have a good time Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
Arya begins to get closer to her coworkers and her boss. When she’s out on the beach with Gendry at her birthday party, things really start to shift. She’s enjoying her new life--her friends, her home, her job. Like Bruce said, everybody’s got a hungry heart, and Arya’s no exception. 
IV. Summer
Deadbeat Summer / Neon Indian
Deadbeat summer It's just a deadbeat summer
Feels Like Summer / Weezer
I'm holding on and I don't want to let you go, whoa-oh-oh Yeah it feels like summer, yeah it feels like summer to me
The official start of summer brings major changes for Arya. She cuts herself off from her parents and she knows that she and Gendry are on a major precipice. 
V. Making Moves
Time of the Season / The Zombies
It's the time of the season When love runs high
Burnin’ For You / Blue Öyster Cult
Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Butterflies / Kacey Musgraves
I was just coastin' Never really goin’ anywhere Caught up in a web I was gettin’ kinda used to stayin' there And out of the blue I fell for you
Friday I’m in Love / The Cure
I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday, I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love
And then Arya takes the leap and they tumble right over it!
VI. An Unexpected Visit
I Feel Everything / Waters
Don't give in to what they say They can't understand it at all It aint yours to give away And it's not theirs to take I don't care what they say This is the only place Where I feel everything
Maybe Someday / The Cure
I've got to let it go and leave it gone Just walk away, stop it going on Get too scared to jump if I wait too long But maybe someday...
Sansa and Robb’s visit puts Arya in a very jumbled headspace. She knows she doesn’t want to return home or go to college, but when Gendry finds out something about her he doesn’t like, what seemed to be growing between them ends just like that. The first lyrics above seem to put that into words--she feels all sorts of things in her new life and she doesn’t want her family to try and take that away, but when things with Gendry go south, she seems resigned to leave. 
VII. Goodbyes
Don’t Look Back in Anger / Oasis
But don't look back in anger I heard you say
Never Let Me Go / Florence + the Machine
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing over me And the questions I have for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean deliver me
Arya plans to just cut and run from her new life, but she convinces herself to say goodbye to her friends. When I read the last scene of the story, my mind immediately went to Never Let Me Go. Arya has a connection to the ocean throughout the story as does her relationship with Gendry. Standing ocean-side with him at the very end is when she finally seems to allow herself to accept how happy she is there, alongside him.

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write
Okay, so… I wrote this fic one night when I couldn’t sleep. It just kept building naturally until the idea was fully developed and I’d say I have it maybe 70% finished? One of the fastest things I’ve written, for sure. But it’s like… VERY sexual and angsty and dark. It’s just a lot and I’m not really sure if it’s something I’d ever want to share because I don’t know how well it would be received.
It was very unexpected for me because usually I’d focus on plot ideas that are a lot more broadly appealing, but I just couldn’t shake this one.
23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t
When I started Stuck With A Stark it had a much stronger focus on the enemies aspect of enemies to lovers. It was really more of an enemies with benefits situation, and not the cute, playful kind. It was like full on hatred plus lust. But I just couldn’t sustain that amount of tension and those harsh emotions enough to make it a compelling story. Luckily I realised it pretty early on so I only had to change a few things. But yeah, it was way too draining for me to write that kind of story.
Thank you so much for asking

1. Favorite book you discovered this year?
Don't have one. Don't think I read a book this year to be honest. I'm very special when it comes to reading books. It's very hard to choose what to read and I hardly had time or motivation for it. Started IT but didn't continue it (one day I guess)! I love reading though!
21. Any new tattoos this year?
Nope! Soon maybe!

White Christmas
Tumblr media
My @gendrya-gift-exchange 2021 fic for the lovely @lumierelalune​! I used the column 2nd to the right (Coffee Shop AU/First Time/Mutual Pining/Coworkers/Miscommunication) for the fic bingo!
Read the first chapter, “Let It Snow” on AO3 here or under the cut! Happy Holidays!
Arya’s train north is leaving two days before Christmas, she knows she told her boss that. “I’m leaving town December 23rd and I’ll be back the 28th,” were her exact words. She’s not sure how Sharna heard, “I can work the closing shift on the 23rd, the one that starts an hour before my train pulls out of the station” but she did and now Arya is trying to get her shift covered or change her train ticket to the 24th and neither of those seem to be happening.
She’s gone down the list of people who can cover her shift but everyone else has left town already (Brea and Talea for Braavos the day after finals ended), is leaving town like she was supposed to (Lommy left for King's Landing early that morning and Alys left at noon to go back to the Reach), is sick (Jeyne came down with the flu and Willow is taking care of her), already worked the morning shift (Hot Pie), or is closing with her (Gendry, and there’s no way she’d leave him alone with the diners). Arya also can’t just quit and go home when she was supposed to. She likes this job. She doesn’t need this job, she recognizes the privilege in that, but she enjoys it and it keeps things interesting at the otherwise quiet Riverlands University. Besides, her parents were always going on about responsibility and she had a responsibility to the Crossroads Cafe. So she sighs and abandons her attempts to get her shift covered, glares at her half packed duffel bag and calls the rail ticket office instead.
“You’ve reached the North Line Ticketing Office. We are currently experiencing higher than average call volume, the estimated wait time is 20 minutes. Your call may be monitored for quality assurance.”
Great. Her shift starts in half an hour and it’s starting to snow. She turns her phone on speaker to let the tinny Christmas music play, interspersed with ads, mentions of using the North Line website, like she’d be calling them if their website had worked, and occasional updates to her place in the queue. Arya continues to throw things into her bag haphazardly until her phone rings through and a very frazzled voice says, “North Line Ticketing, this is Ros. How can I help you?”
Arya scrambles to pick up her phone, nearly sending it sliding off her desk and into her wastebasket in her haste, “Hi! I need to change my ticket from the 3pm Riverrun to Winterfell Station from today to tomorrow. If there’s a different time with an open seat I’ll take it. Arya Stark, ticket number 157935C”
There’s a pause and Arya can hear a keyboard clacking, “I’m sorry ma’am but all trains north between 6am and 3pm tomorrow are full. I can book you on the 5pm train, it will get into Winterfell at 2am and does carry on to The Wall if you need to go points further north, but I’d keep a close eye on the weather, with this storm coming in we’re not sure if the afternoon trains are going to be able to run.”
Arya glances out the window at the snow that’s now beginning to fall slightly harder, “I’ll take the 5pm and keep my fingers crossed. Thank you.”
“I’ve got you booked on the 5pm Ms. Stark. Good luck and happy holidays.”
“Yeah, you too.” Arya hangs up the phone. She now has seven minutes to get to the cafe for her closing shift. Normally she’d walk but waiting on hold and trying to finish packing her bag had taken up too much of her time so she’ll have to drive. And find time to call her family and tell them she’ll be getting in much later than anticipated, if at all. Grabbing her keys from their hook near the door, Arya races down the stairs and out to her little car parked on the street in front of her apartment. It grumbles slightly before sputtering to life, shaking slightly as a gust of wind makes the snowflakes dance across her windshield.
Five and a half minutes later Arya stomps her way in through the back door of the Crossroads, knocking slush from her boots. She tosses her coat onto a rickety chair and grabs an apron off a hook, looping the strings around her waist multiple times as she walks out to the floor. Gendry is already there, glaring at the POS system and Arya pauses for half a second like she always does when she sees him for the first time every day. He’s lit by the glow of the street lamp through the cafe window and the twinkle lights Sharna’s put up for the holidays. His dark, messy hair shines, the sharp cut of his jaw is shadowed by stubble and she can’t quite see his vibrant blue eyes that cause her heart to skip a beat when he turns the full force of his gaze on to her but she’s had their color memorized since the first day she started working with him. It’s fine, she’s managed her little crush on him for the last year and a half. It doesn’t interfere with work. She just has to make sure she doesn’t drool when she watches him pick up large trays of food that would take her multiple trips to deliver and that she doesn’t think about making his hair even messier when she’s on the clock. Those are off the clock thoughts that she tries very hard not to have because then she blushes when she looks at him and she’s been standing here for a moment too long because now he’s looking right at her like she’s a crazy person while she’s frozen, staring at him with her apron strings still in her hand. Shit.
Arya clears her throat and finishes tying her apron. She turns away from him to get herself under control under the pretext of checking the dining area. It’s completely empty.
“Thought you were headed north?” Gendry’s voice rumbles from across the counter.
Arya sighs and turns back to him. It’s going to be a long night, “I was. My train is leaving in an hour but Sharna put me on the schedule to close and I couldn’t get it covered, so here I am. I was able to change my ticket to tomorrow evening, though.”
Gendry looks out the window at the falling snow. The wind has picked up and it swirls around the sidewalk, “It’s supposed to storm for two days.”
That’s Gendry, succinct. Arya uses five words when one will suffice. She probably drives him crazy with how much she talks, “Yeah, the ticket gal said she didn’t know if the trains will get out tomorrow but she changed my ticket for me anyway. Do you mind if I step out and call my folks and let them know? I was on hold with the train line for so long I didn’t have time to call them before I had to leave to make it here in time.”
Gendry looks around the empty cafe, “I dunno, it’s pretty busy… I might have to talk to someone if you step out.”
Arya grins at him, “I think you will survive, it will be a short conversation, I just need to let them know my new arrival time.”
Gendry smiles, just slightly, back at her, “No conversation is short with you, Stark.”
Arya tries to rein in the flutter in her stomach. Gendry rarely smiles at other people but always seems to have one for her when he’s giving her a hard time. She doesn’t want to think it makes her feel special but it does, just a little bit. She spins on her heel and steps back into the back room, fishing her phone out of her jeans as she goes. She dials the house phone, hoping someone will pick up there and can spread the word so she won’t have to play Asshai roulette to try and get a hold of just one person she’s related to in Winterfell.
“Hello? Stark Residence.”
“Dad! It’s me,” helpful that her dad picked up the phone, since it will probably be him picking her up at the train station early in the morning anyway. Rickon would have taken a message and then forgotten half of it and she wasn’t in the mood for a game of Stark Family Telephone if it was going to end with her stranded at the Winterfell Train station at 2am Christmas morning.
“Sweetling! Are you on your way home? The train just left Riverrun, yes?”
“About that… Sharna mistakenly put me on the schedule to close tonight and I tried to get my shift covered but wasn’t able to and I can’t just leave them high and dry. North Line was able to get me on the 5pm train tomorrow but they’re not sure if the trains will be running with the storm. I’ll let you know. If I can get out on the new train I’ll get in at 2am on the 25th, otherwise I might be stuck here over Christmas.”
“Hmmm… Let’s hope that doesn’t happen, your mother and I love when you’re all here for Christmas. Thank you for calling, sweetling. Keep us posted. Love you.”
“Love you too, Dad. I’ll talk to you later. Bye.” Arya hangs up the phone and heads back out to the counter. Gendry is leaned over his order pad doodling something as she approaches, but quickly flips to a new page as she slides onto a stool across from him.
He glances at her, “Everything good at the castle?”
Arya sighs, “Not a castle,” she knows he knows it’s not a castle, he just likes to call it that, “and yeah, everyone’s probably already home. Someone will have to draw the short straw to pick me up at the station at 2am but there’s plenty of us to go around. What about you? Any plans for Christmas? Siblings to spend time with? Do you have siblings? I’ve never asked.”
Gendry’s jaw tightens slightly and Arya wants to… do something inappropriate about it.
“No,” is all he says.
“No? No, what? No plans? No siblings?” Arya presses.
“Why do you want to know?”
“Just curious? I mean, we’re so busy I figured I’d make that table wait to take their order. That woman’s just awful,” Arya gestures at a large table in the empty cafe.
Gendry sighs, “Yeah, she looks terrible. A real Cersei. No. No plans. I have siblings but it’s complicated.”
Arya raises an eyebrow at him, “Complicated how?”
He gives her a long look before sighing again and pouring them both a cup of coffee from the carafe next to him. He adds a dash of cream to one and slides it to her, along with a sugar packet and a spoon. She’s a little surprised he knows how she takes her coffee.
“Complicated in that I have at least four half siblings who I had no idea about until a few years ago because my bio-dad was a lecherous bastard who couldn’t keep it in his pants and we all found out about it because he died.” It’s the most words Arya has ever heard Gendry speak in one go and he looks uncomfortable at having said so much, “Also, my mum passed when I was a kid so I stay here for Christmas. Jeyne, Willow, Hot Pie, and I usually order Yi-Ti takeout and watch action movies.”
“Well that sounds fun. Are you still going to do that this year?”
Gendry shrugs, grabbing a rag off the counter and beginning to wipe down the already clean surface, “Depends on how Jeyne is feeling. Willow told Hot Pie to bring her some soup when he left.”
The bell tinkles over the door as a small family is blown in for dinner, breaking up their conversation while Gendry busies himself at the register and Arya takes care of the table. She hums along with the Christmas music quietly playing over the speakers as she dishes soup and toasts sandwiches for them. When they leave with a “Merry Christmas!” Arya pulls her phone out and glances at her weather app. The winter storm warning is set to last through midnight of the 24th, with blowing and drifting snow in the Riverlands all the way north to The Neck. A quick glance at Winterfell tells her the storm would roll through there over Christmas before dissipating somewhere past The Wall. There’s a notification from the North Line telling her all trains north have been cancelled for the next three days due to weather. It is going to be a White Christmas everywhere this year and Arya can stop holding her breath about making it home in time for Christmas. With a sinking heart she sends a screenshot of the cancellation notice to her family, tucks her phone back into her pocket and goes to clear the table.

WIP game
tagged by @courtneyshortney82 (during my vacation & i almost forgot to do this, so it’s a little late lol)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
26 -- 5 iCarly, 21 The Walking Dead
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
1,706,508
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Don’t Make Me Haunt You
thirsty
Most Wanted
risk it all
lost in the sauce
4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Absolutely. Because as a reader, it always feels nice to get responses to my comments, but as a writer, I want people to know that I value their feedback, and sometimes it’s fun to give them little hints of what’s to come!
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
In Toto Corde
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
I think it’s a tie between Breathe. Please. and The Crow’s Song.
7. Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?
Nah. Crossovers have never been my thing.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Last time I did, it was on FFN for an iCarly fic. So it was years and years ago. I’ve had some passively hateful comments on some of my Bethyl fics, though. Mainly on Most Wanted and DMMHY.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. All kinds (except bondage or ABO.) I try to be diverse, but I haven’t honestly written any M/M or MMF in years. Hoping to get back to it in the near future :)
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, actually!! It was an iCarly smut fic I posted on FFN called Measured Rumors. I wouldn’t have had any idea that it was stolen if it weren’t for some very kind readers who informed me. Someone copied and pasted the whole fic as their own under a different title. I reported it as plagiarism and it was taken down within a day or two. I took it as a compliment, though, to be completely honest hahaha imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes!! Ugh my memory is awful because it was years ago, but I’m pretty sure it was an iCarly fic, most likely on FFN. I think they translated it into French, which was really really cool.
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not one that’s been posted, but me and @courtneyshortney82 have one that’s been in the works for a couple years, and we have more planned. :)
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Bethyl. Without question 
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Dirty Fingernails and Dried Blood. Hopefully I can finish it someday, but it’s really difficult for me to go back to writing in first-person. I kinda set myself up for failure with that one lol
15. What are your writing strengths?
Umm... well, based on feedback, I guess I’d say descriptions. Some of my readers say that I can describe a setting/scene/mood really well, and that they feel like they’re there or that they can picture it perfectly in their heads. So I would like to consider that a writing strength :)
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
All of them. Are you kidding me? I doubt myself at every turn. But especially with conclusions. I absolutely suck at getting past the climax and reaching the resolution. I am... the worst. Oh, and pacing. I always feel like I can’t pace my stories properly, and it jumps around erratically and probably ends up being more drawn out than it needs to be.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I try to avoid it because I don’t want to make myself look like an idiot. I’m monolingual and absolutely awful at learning other languages. (I failed high school Spanish not once, but TWICE. Never did get that foreign language credit.)
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Green Day... lmfao
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
I have to pick ONE? Well... okay. I want to say The Crow’s Song, but I also want to say In Toto Corde. I love them both so much and I’m honestly so fucking proud of them. But also, I reallly really really love Don’t Make Me Haunt You, and I’m extremely proud of it, and even prouder that so many people seem to enjoy it. I can’t choose just one! They are all my children!

New Author of The Month: July 2021
Our featured “new” artist this month isn’t exactly new, though she is what could be called “new adjacent.” And she was nominated for Breakthrough New Author in the 2020 Moonshine Awards! After stepping away from fandom for a few years, she’s back with some amazing contributions: it’s @sheriffandsteel​ (or @lumierelalune​ ) !
Tumblr media
sheriffandsteel can be found on both AO3 and FFN under the same penname.
When asked what got her into the Bethyl fandom and what it means to her, she said:
I was a casual fan of TWD until season 4. After Beth and Daryl’s interaction at the end of 4x01 I felt like there was something there and when they left the prison together, I needed fics to get me through the hiatus. It was the first ship I was ever truly invested in and the first one I started writing for regularly.  Bethyl is a huge creative outlet for me and the feedback I’ve gotten for my writing has shaped me into a better and more confident writer. I left the fandom for several years after Beth was shot, she is a character I really love and relate to and it just got to be too painful to watch the show without her there. I recently started rewatching TWD because I want to watch the last season as it airs and when I hit season 4 Bethyl sucked me right back in again. Coming back and writing for this fandom has been like coming home. There are so many amazing writers and stories out there and such wonderful people in this fandom. Thank you everyone who writes and reads for this pairing and keeps this ship going!  
For her personal fic rec list, she recommends:
(Everything these authors write is amazing and I recommend all of their fics but these are my stand out favorites.)
Rocky Mountain One Shots by VeeCWS
it's going to take you people years to recover from all of the damage by wandering_gypsy_feet 
Kaleidoscope by nouveaulove  
She's breathing by burningupasun 
Relativity by seren23 
Where the tracks meet by PunkyNemo (TheVampireCat)  
even when you wake up by wellthatdepends 
We Can Be Good Again by Schwoozie 
You’re the Only Thing I See by sunken_ships
Ticking Clocks by Abelina
sheriffandsteel’s Works & Personal Thoughts:
between the beginning and the end Summary: When Daryl signed on to be up and coming country singer Beth Greene’s bodyguard, he had figured it'd be a pretty easy gig, just watch out for overzealous fans and not let the girl get into any trouble. He hadn’t counted on the insane hours, her obsessed stalker, or Beth herself. He sure as hell didn’t count on four months later the whole world going to shit. Thoughts: This is my favorite thing I have ever written. It contains two timelines which is turning into a bigger undertaking than I was expecting but it is so much fun to write. My only regret is that I started posting it before I got caught up with TWD (I only just reached season 8) I would have included more show characters and less OCs. The response to it has been so kind and I'm so happy people are taking a chance on it. 
Come Back to Me Summary: He has to leave her body behind when the walkers come. He has just turned away and closed his eyes when hers snap open. Thoughts: I wrote this immediately after Beth died and it helped me get through my grief over her demise.  
Side Effects of Consuming Moonshine  Summary: Moonshine is an extremely strong drink and the side effects of drinking moonshine are not to be taken lightly. Thoughts: I always enjoy fics that are written different than just prose and this was my first try at writing one. I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
the difference between living and surviving Summary: Unable to find any other survivors Beth and Daryl head out alone and begin to learn how one can bear to live in this new world. Thoughts: this is the first multi-chapter fic I ever wrote and while it is not a story I would write now it will always hold a special place in my heart. It is one of my most popular fics and I still get sweet comments on it which means a lot to me. 
I don’t, but I will Summary: Admittedly agreeing to be Beth's plus one to her sister's wedding was probably not the smartest decision Daryl had ever made. But boy were the consequences worth it. Thoughts: I’m not a big fan of non-ZA AUs for this pairing, I’m too big of an apocalypse fan. This is one of the few AUs I’ve written and it's my favorite because of the fluff and everyone is alive.  
Reunion  Summary: The town of Terminus was no stranger to reunions, but some always stood out in people's minds. Thoughts: I wrote this before the show reached Terminus and I just really like it as a soft what could have been even though it is nowhere close to what happened on the show.
Although she’s certainly no stranger to Bethyl fanfiction, we are so glad to have her back and see new content from her! Keep an eye out for more from this author, and in the meantime, make sure you catch up on her older pieces!
