#my favourite of their kisses thus far actually
Note
Vox x Alastor?? For the ship bingo
oh my god okay so radiostatic means everything to me
its so gut-wrenchingly sad and also hilarious and also off-putting and also so steeped in devotion and romance it makes me want to scream ??? i want them to metaphorically kiss and make up but i also know that would never fucking happen and thats also good ??? they make my head spin.
alastor is a shameless theatre kid who LOVES being the center of attention — vox is OBSESSED with alastor, and is thus a consistent source of that attention. vox is distressingly easy to tease and alastor feeds off of his passionate responses like a leech. theyre so codependant on each others apparent hatred. i need to bite something.
my favourite version of their relationship that ive made up (and this only works with their series iterations — imo their pilot/comic counterparts have never even considered an acquaintanceship, let alone a romance) is that their falling out was one huge, violent misunderstanding. alastor began to lose his power and status within the overlord hierarchy when he refused to adapt over time (can you IMAGINE how fucking powerful he would be if he just stopped being such a stubborn asshole and decided to start including podcasts under the "radio" umbrella?) and vox swiftly surpassed him. vox didnt want alastor to be left behind, and offered a partnership where they could operate in tandem and basically control almost all media output in hell. alastor mistook this for vox saying that alastor wasnt interesting enough as he was and HAD to change, and as we all know alastor DESPISES being thought of as uninteresting. he tells vox to fuck off and vox is left wondering what the hell just happened.
objectively i dont think theyd ever make up — alastor is FAR too prideful to ever consider the idea that HE was the one who was mistaken, and i dont think he particularly likes the idea of emotional or physical vulnerability either. regardless, what i would love to imagine is that eventually, SOMEHOW, they do, and that their relationship is... actually so easy. this is most likely just me projecting, but i like to think of vox as just wanted alastor as an actual partner, not a fuck buddy (his "relationship" with valentino is a coping mechanism for his anxiety and confusion and doesnt necessarily reflect on how he would be with alastor, someone i like to think he actually appreciates as a person). vox is a complete lovesick FOOL.
this is so long already so im sticking some extra spicy headcanons below the cut!
if their relationship ever edged (hah) into sexual territory, i actually think it could work, but it definitely wouldnt be vanilla (absolutely zero penetration in this relationship). i think a fair amount of voyerism, dom/sub play, and hypnotism is involved — vox obviously has his hypnotic stare, and i like to personally headcanon that alastor can hypnotise people with his voice. like... idk, alastor i feel like would get a lot of enjoyment (sexual or not) out of toying with people and seeing them squirm, and vox would respond really well to some level of praise + orgasm denial.
for me i can imagine alastor ranging from completely sex-repulsed and having no libido at all, to being appreciative enough of the sensation but disliking the vulnerability and general grossness of bodily fluids that comes (ha-ha) with it. i think vox wouldnt care either way — as long as he gets to have alastor, hes beyond thrilled.
i LOVE thinking about the potential for predator/prey dynamics too. i like to headcanon that alastor actually has to spend a lot of energy fighting off his very annoying prey instincts on the daily and maintaining a mask of indifference. deer/elk iirc are naturally very skittish — alastors hearing is terribly accute and a lot of the time hell ends up being too LOUD for him. his ears are a huge indicator of his emotions so he has to force them to be still so no-one knows how hes feeling. compared to this, despite not being an actual shark, vox has a lot of shark themes, and his obsession with alastor may be in part due to having the desire to "hunt" him and eat him (not that he actually would — the most he would do would probably be to chew/drool on him a little bit). in point of fact, i think is he ever let this desire slip, alastor, being a maybe-cannibal, would probably be find it to be weirdly flattering — after all, some say consumption is the highest form of devotion.
tying back into the hypnotism thing — alastor generally avoids looks vox directly in the eye, both because of the hypnotism thing and also because his face is literally one big bright light ("deer in the headlights"), but in a more sexually-driven situation i think hed actually find it oddly comforting because it dampens his prey instincts for a little while, and (eventually) he trusts that vox isnt going to embarrass him or make him look the fool. vox lovingly coaxes him through orgasm and takes care of all of the gross stuff before alastor even has a chance to be fully coherent.

Jen's ultimate rank list
For whatever reason the brain weevils have taken over and I decided I wanted to properly rank every Y series I've watched thus far. Why am I doing this? I really don't know. It just felt like a good use of a dreary Sunday. These will be split by region and I'm not including Western stuff because it doesn't, for me, fit what I think of when I think about a Y or BL series. I've not been analytical about a ranking system, it's mostly based on rewatch factors and how much it stuck with me after it ended. Some dramas I'll rewatch but they're not dramas I'd consider in my top list so just vibes also had to play a factor. (My MDL list isn't to be trusted. Girl, why did you give My Engineer a 9.

Weekend WIP Game
You say WIP game and I say "you son of a bitch, I'm in!" Thanks for dreaming this up, @welcometololaland!
1. WIP List: listing only WIPs that actually have text written and are not abandoned lol. I have a lot of to-be-written prompts, but I'm not including them here.
False Dichotomy (firstprince, aka the You've Got Mail AU)
Noir PI AU (firstprince)
Kissed Out (firstprince, pro billiards AU)
Modern magic AU (firstprince)
The Thief Who Stole My Heart (napollya, art thief/gallery owner)
2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?
False Dichotomy at 18k written so far (4 of ~11 chapters?)
3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?
Also False Dichotomy, which I'm guessing will be >50k but honestly that's a very rough number.
4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?
Probably False Dichotomy, though it's almost by default because I don't tend to jump around between WIPs too much. But I love the story I've set up and it has a lot of great scenes.
5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?
Probably the noir AU, because I feel like it needs to have a particular noir vibe that will be tough to capture.
6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?
Right now? Surprisingly the modern magic AU. Idk I'm in a bit of a funk and not super happy with anything I'm writing, and particularly this fic. But I have 3k written so I might as well finish it and yeet it out.
7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?
These days I get @celeritas2997 and @cricketnationrise to read through most of my rwrb fics. It's especially good for longer fics like False Dichotomy, and that one will have the most tricky moments in it too.
8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?
Not exactly? I've just set a few of them aside while I focus on others.
9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?
LMAO well False Dichotomy includes Kyle, who is an OC I made up originally for a missing moment in Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood (he's not even in the actual fic), but now he gets to be a real character in this one. He's a queer kid who lives at the Okonjo shelter and works at Alex's bookstore (and occasionally Coney Island lol).
10. Which WIP is the sexiest?
Definitely Kissed Out, which is based on an enemies/rivals AND lovers premise and is earmarked to include lots of scorching smut.
11. Which WIP is the angstiest?
False Dichotomy will probably have the most sustained angst. I think Kissed Out will have possibly the most intense angst, and the noir AU will have the most peril-based angst.
12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?
ALL OF THEM. 😂 Oh so humble, I know. But seriously, I hope they all will be.
13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?
I think it's going to be the noir AU, can't wait to really dig into the scenery of that one. It will have a really different vibe that I hope will be unique and exciting.
14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?
Thus far, False Dichotomy I've put the most work into.
15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?
Broken record here, but False Dichotomy. Sometimes I feel like they're too high. People seem very excited. I feel a not insignificant amount of pressure.
16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?
Can't say that I have lol.
17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?
Not really! Most of my wips right now are pretty straightforward, in the end.
18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?
The modern magic AU, probably. Definitely the silliest and crackiest of the lot.
19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?
No different POVs here. False Dichotomy is going to have a little interesting side exploration of Raf and Alex's relationship that isn't something I've really gotten into before.
20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.
HMMMMM. If you're a You've Got Mail movie fan, I think you will be quite surprised at some of the turns in the AU. No, I'm not going to tell more than that yet lol.
Ok, I'm trying to tag people not tagged in the first post, and spreading to new fandoms. Questions for artists below! @petrodobreva, @sherryvalli, @liminalmemories21, @myheartalivewrites, @leaves-of-laurelin, @celaestis1, @historicallysam, @14carrotghoul, @xthelastknownsurvivorx, @treluna4, @adreamareads, @cheesecurdsgravyandfries, @ikeepwatchinghelicopters, @nicijones, @thetamehistorian, @loki-is-my-kink-awakening, @dewdropreader, @hummingbee-o0o, @wolfpup026, @natendo-art, @dreamycloud, @heytheredeann, @mirilyawrites, @jettestar, @sweatersinthesummer, AND anyone who wants to jump in!

Hi!
Just finished re-reading Desert Blooms and Western Wind, and gearing up for Becoming Whole and wanted to remind you how awesome you are!
But my actual point, I stumbled across you during my AloyxDrakka phase and then you managed to suck me right in to Kotaloy…
And then I got in to BG3, which you were right behind with Kiss me on the Mouth & Someone Great. And I have to confess I wasn’t all too keen on exploring a Halsin ship, let alone a HalsinxAstarionxTav ship but you’ve sucked me right in to that too…
And while my brain festered away on Rolan, I stumbled across Catskarky’s Mass Effect comics which preemptively started my GarrusxShepard phase (and forced me out to buy the trilogy which I’m now just concluding). And so anyway, that got me thinking and I vaguely recalled that I’d seen you had previously dabbled in the ME fanfic space and I was right, and I’ve come to this conclusion:
You are the ultimate source of good games and great ships (ignoring your unfortunate Shakarian oversight lol). So please, please share your wisdom! Recommend anything and everything. I literally value no one’s opinion more in this!
HAHAHA OKAY BUT this made me laugh, both with delight that you've enjoyed so many of my beloved ships -- but also because Shakarian is my OG ship. Garrus Vakarian is my first-ever OG videogame boyfriend LMAOOO. The reason I haven't written any significant fic for him is that my Shepard picks the control ending, meaning that she sacrifices herself to save the geth and EDI and thus she essentially "dies" and leaves beloved Garrus alone... and I could never write that. I can write angsty-ending ships, but I just don't have the heart to write a ship where one member of the pairing literally dies. (And no, I've never considered doing a non-canon workaround because I really like the control ending as it is, which may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm sticking to it!)
I have written one (1) Shakarian oneshot, though!! It was shortly after MELE came out and one of my BFFs got into Shakarian, so I wanted to see if I could bring myself to write them, but this oneshot is as far as I got, sadly 😭❤
(more below the cut!)
As for other game recommendations: off the top of my head, Dragon Age and the Witcher come to mind -- specifically Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3, which are both the third installments of their respective series. DA:I has historically been the greatest source of fic inspiration for me, and my Geralt/Reader series might actually be my favourite body of work. You can play both of these games without having played the previous two games -- this is what I did, and both games are among my top 5 favourites!
To prepare for playing these games, beloved friends had recommended some primer articles for me, which basically just introduce you to the lore and the worldstate so you can jump in. Those articles are here, if you decide to check out these games:
The Witcher worldstate for dummies
The Dragon age worldstate for dummies
As for the rest of the Witcher and Dragon Age games: I can't speak for The Witcher 1 and 2, since I haven't played them, sadly! I played the first Dragon Age game (Origins) once, and I... struggled a lot because the gameplay shows its age now. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO SWEARS BY IT, but I just didn't enjoy playing all of it. The storytelling is good and the companions are a treat, but I wouldn't be able to play it a second time.
I loved Dragon Age 2, and I adore the companion dynamics in DA2 even moreso than in Inquisition, but I actually have only played DA2 one and a half times, mainly because the gameplay is also dated now. It's definitely playable though, certainly moreso than DA:O in my humble opinion, so I would recommend it! And I will say this for DA2: Fenris is the canon romance that I fell the hardest for and have written the most for, of all my videogame LIs. Take that to mean what you will. 🤣
If you like anime, my top two favourite animes are ones that I've also written for: Samurai Champloo (which would be considered retro now 😭💀) and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Both of these anime made me cry for very different reasons, and I highly recommend them! You also don't need to have played Cyberpunk 2077 in order to follow and enjoy Edgerunners (I haven't played it), so don't worry about that!
In terms of other recommendations, you can check out my writing masterpost, which lists all the fandoms I've written for and the ships within them. This could help you decide on what you want to play (or watch) next! ❤
If you want any more recommendations (movies, shows, books etc), feel free to hit me up with another ask or a DM! NOT THAT I CONSIDER MYSELF ANY KIND OF AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING LMAOOOO, I'M JUST A POTATO SMUT WRITER, I swear I'd only offer this if someone asked first 🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy!!! And THANK YOU GENUINELY for the praise!! You don't know how much it thrill me when people tell me that they got started with one of my ships and trusted me enough to try ones that they'd not considered before. It means the world! 😭❤❤❤
-- much love from your friendly neighbourhood Pika! xoxo
#fanfic writer's life#pikapeppa writes#i won't be a nuisance and tag all the fandoms and ships but PLEASE KNOW I'M CONSTANTLY THRILLED BY MULTIFANDOM READERS 😂🥰❤❤❤#please forgive any typos too i should really be running off to shower and go beddy 🤣💀

im sorry i was stalking your ask tag bc i was scouring for any tidbits of info for ur rewrite. and now i have to say i am SHAKING IN EXCITEMENT for the wonderland arc. holy shit. i know thats probably a long way away but the little descriptions about Blood and Knives and Dinner Parties and the overall Fuckedupness of wonderland is so !!!!!! and thats of course on top of the fact my fav is lizzie and i adore the rest of the wonderlandians, AND your characterisation of the wonderlandians thus far is soo *chefs kiss*. i reread the food fight scene almost daily bc im obsessed with lizzie fully throwing a steak knife at daring and then screaming ILL SHOW YOU FUCKING WONDERLAND and kitty's usual chaos causing self and maddie being the usual bubbly but also Mysterious gal..... anyways . i love your wonderlandians. and also the way people perceive and talk about them.. is it racism . im calling it racism. actually now that i mention that i remember raven's comment in the beginning with her mother on how it seems like theres no news on how theyre fixing wonderland.... very interesting.... *stares hard at milton grimm and his clear disdain/bias against the wonderlandians*
this ask was longer than i thought and somehow dissolved into me talking about ur depiction of wonderlandians in general My Bad!!!
I SAVED THIS ASK IN MY INBOX LIKE A PRECIOUS JEWEL JUST READING IT MAKES ME SMILE SO MUCH........... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU HAVE NO IDEA! OR MAYBE YOU DO! IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE IT ACTUALLY
the wonderland arc is (because biased gummy is biased) my very favourite arc that i have planned so far and i truly think i am going to have SO MUCH FUN writing it because there is not a single moment of peace throughout the entire thing. just wall to wall insanity. just like wonderland would have wanted!!!!!!!! I HOPE SO VERY MUCH THAT YOU ENJOY AND I AM SO ELATED THAT YOU'RE ENJOYING LIZZIE AND KITTY AND MADDIE I WORK VERY HARD ON THEM THEY ARE MY PRIDE AND JOY
and wonderland racism! yes! good old fashioned xenophobia 👍 it strikes again.... the fairy tale world is rebuilding itself from the ruins of the queen war slowly but surely, while wonderland... well. the most grimm can do for now is seal the realm and figure out the best way to address the situation, which seems in itself to be. keeping the realm sealed. hm. the ineffable workings of the fairy tale world's great leader! i'm sure he knows what he's doing and there is absolutely no discrimination involved [This message was funded by the Milton Grimm Normal Person PR Team]
#ask#ever after high#eah#gum rewrite#i cant help but play everything up its so fun#AND IS ALSO THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME FROM REVEALING EVERYTHING INSTANTLY#GRIMM IGNORING WONDERLAND CURSE ........ AN ACTION FOR WHICH THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCES

Hey I'm asking myself about espio and silver's first love thing
I mean ...who will try to flirt with the other for the first time
And ...what about their first date, who will ask it, and who's the most "lover" between those two
And...also about their first kiss, will it be a shy one or a vigorous, I don't know but I love so much that ship, I think this is my favourite
Also, I just ask you if you have any idea about, by the way, if you don't have you can just not answer or tell me 👍
And to finish i love your writings, those are very cool💞
Thank you for the compliments!💕 I definitely have plenty of ideas about this, New Beginnings looks into it a bit as well ^-^
Regarding flirting, Silver probably has no idea what it is or how it works... but I can still see him be the first one who tries it out. I can imagine all their friends ship them, so he's getting pulled aside by them to get some tips on how to ✨be romantic✨, and thus this hedgie all but tumbles into the whole world of flirting with no small amount of enthusiasm. It's definitely not misplaced, but I can see it be a tad awkward: instead of suavely draping an arm over Espio's shoulders to make a move Silver just pulls him into a chokehold-hug, and instead of sweetly whispering teases he just kind of hollers about how amazing and lovely Espio is. Right in his ears, ouch. Still, I can see Espio appreciate the sentiment! <3 And let's be honest, it's not as if our chameleon boi is particularly better at flirting than Silver is XD
For their first date, to me that seems more like it is Espio's idea. I like to think he's got good knowledge on all the quiet places around the city, and thus he takes Silver there one time, to just have a picnic together or something. I can also see Espio finding it far too weird to call such outings dates because he can be plenty stuck-up and withdrawn, and thus he staunchly insists they are simply hanging out together (no-one believes them and Silver has no idea). But once they are older and have spend more time together I can see Silver be the one who thinks up some romantic date ideas instead, taking Espio to all sorts of lovely locations he's found and doing romantic things galore!
In New Beginnings, the bois had multiple Not Really A Kiss kisses (I believe like three or four lol) before their actual first Big Damn Kiss, but I think whether or not the kiss is very shy or more intense depends on the circumstances. When they're on the sixth "it's-not-a-date" date and Silver has finally caught on to the fact friends don't romantically hold hands and flirt with each other (his skills have gotten better!) during a picnic, they might try a shy kiss to top the evening off. Vice versa, if they're at the end of some epic Eggman battle where the stakes were through the roof, I can see it be a more dramatic and intense one! I figure either of them can be the instigator, maybe even both at the same time <3 But I like to headcanon Silver as someone who loves little touches and cuddles because he's quite touch-starved after living in a ruined future for most his life, so it's quite common for him and Espio to just give each other small pecks throughout the day while off on their own business around the house or during a job.
Generally, I think how such events went are quite artist-dependent, and I can furthermore see both Silver and Espio be the first to instigate flirting/dating/kissing etc., but that just means I have lots of different scenarios to think about😉 I hope that answered all your questions, anon!🍀
#silver the hedgehog#espio the chameleon#espilver#thanks for the ask! ^-^#in conclusion: neither of them know much about romance but together they make it work!#this is why it is so nice to have one bazillion AUs wherein the characters are all slightly different: I can imagine those scenarios-#in as many ways I want hehe

Do you have a favorite scene or passage or line from moonlight serenade? What has been the hardest part of the story to write?
Really enjoy reading it! Thank you for sharing your work 🙏 😊
I think the hardest part of the story to write was maintaining a sense of accuracy, but not letting accuracy get in the way of the story I wanted to tell. There are things I omitted from the story, just because I didn't want to get bogged down by historical accuracy, and also I felt ill-equipped to deal with it (for instance, Mace and Ahsoka would be facing way more discrimination if this was actually 1944). It was hard to tell my historian brain to turn off for a second, and let my creative brain take over.
I also try and be very careful with how I portray Anakin's trauma - both physical and mentally. I've never been to war, never lost an arm (though I am disabled), never suffered life-altering injuries that have changed my sense of self and who I am as a person, and never struggled with my mental health. So when I do write scenes that deal with these themes, I try very hard to be respectful and as realistic as possible.
As for favourite scenes! Of the ones I've posted thus far, I think my favourite's has to be when Padme first arrives to see Anakin, as he's sitting on the back porch of his house. It was one of the first scenes I thought of when I was planning the story out, and I think it worked rather well. Also, of course, Obi-Wan and Anakin meeting for the first time in the pub 💖
As for scenes that haven't come up yet, here is a sneak-peak of a scene many chapters down the line. Beware, SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT:
“Do you know the constellations?” Obi-Wan asked, voice quiet. Relaxed.
“Yeah. Learned them in the air force. Do you?”
“A little. I’m better with the mythology behind them.”
Anakin scanned the sky, finding a constellation. He traced it with his fingertip. “That’s Aquila.”
“The eagle,” Obi-Wan said. “Believed to be the type of bird that carried Zeus’ thunderbolts for him.”
Anakin found another and traced it as well. “Cetus.”
“The whale. A mythical sea monster that was slain by both Hercules and Perseus. Stubborn thing.”
“You can see Hercules, too,” Anakin said, finding it in the sky. “I know about him.”
“Oh?”
“I read the ‘Life of Alexander’.”
“So you have.”
Anakin scanned the sky for another, drawing it out for Obi-Wan. “Cepheus.”
“The king of Ethiopia, father of Andromeda. Do you see Cassiopeia anywhere?”
“There,” Anakin said, finding it easily enough. “Who was she?”
“The Queen of Ethiopia. She was married to Cepheus, and now they’re immortalized together forever in the night sky. Quite the love, no?”
Married.
The words sat heavy in the air. Anakin swallowed thickly, heart hammering. But no, it wasn’t the time for it yet. He didn’t even have anything to give Obi-Wan.
And yet…
“Just like us?” Anakin asked, blood rushing through his head. “Together forever?”
Obi-Wan quelled his worry with a soft laugh and a kiss to his cheek. “Yes, just like us.”

Dieselpunk world war one soldier oc oh yeah
this js a shameless rip off of iron harvest except it's not because everyone is not quite as happy as in that universe.
Valerie is actually one of my older oc's and in her "normal" incarnation is a cyborg femme fatale with a penchant for robbery, seducing people for laughs, dance, the occasional gardening and running a clothing page on instagram. However this is the 1920s soldiering version of her. Thus:
Born and raised in Draguignan (south of france), quite a small town. Her upbringing was boring... depressingly boring in fact. Her father was a settled soldier and had little time for a daughter, and her mother, though she meant well, was far too laid-back for Valerie's taste. Thus it was that Valerie Beaufort spent her childhood gallivanting around the countryside and generally getting underfoot. As she grew older, her striking auburn hair and unusually masculine interests started to turn heads, first in a vague interest in the unusual, and then steadily more hopeless crushes once she learned how to play the game. She did try to let them down gently for the most part, but some were slightly too persistent, and the norms of the time were very much stacked against her. She started carrying a pocket knife, more for the reassurance than any actual use.
Things came to a head when her parents forced her to give up her horse-riding, which had been her favourite hobby. This was down to a rumor one of her irate peers had put about that she was casually sleeping around (big no-no in early 20th century). She had, for all her flirting and kissing boys, never once slept with one for the precise reason that she did not want to later get blackmailed by them. After basically going under house arrest from her parents being terrified their daughter who they hadn't given a shit about for years would besmirch the family name, she turned 18 and promptly ran away from home.
late 1916, the hurried ceasefire after the discovery of Plotanium (WORKING NAME) marked Valerie's arrival in Toulon. It was lucky for her too, boarding houses were flowing out the ears with homeless soldiers and she was able to cram a lonely looking kepi over her head and bed down for the night among the similarly dusty and exhausted soldiery. In fact, it was a whole week before she got figured out as having not paid to stay there and was booted out, after having made friends with several soldiers who, disturbingly, were near her own age. Some had enlisted at 16. She took to begging in a ratty blanket and the now slightly dented kepi along with the soldiers she had made friends with, although night-time was a dangerous time for her and she relied on them to smuggle her back into the house to have a safe place to sleep (The owner knew, but didn't have the heart to turf her out again).
As the boarding house emptied, soldiers heading to resettle, Valerie had finally supplemented her savings enough to start paying for a room of her own. It took her a while to regain her previous light attitude after the dour frame of mind of the soldiers, but as she managed to blag her way into a job as a medium's assistant of all things. They were very in vogue at the time, what with the uncertainty around returning soldiers, the whispers of some of the soldiers still manning their posts and the blazingly fast conversions of vehicle factories into something very new and very alien even to those who had used to work in them. In her correspondence with one soldier in particular, a young cavalry officer, she learned that he was the only one of his unit back. The rest were still battle-ready, having received orders to keep patrolling the french-german border. This coupled with the sheer amount of distraught wives appearing at the medium's claiming that their husbands had not returned home while not receiving news of their death made Valerie smell a rat. She did not make long-term plans and kept in very close correspondence with her "friend" the officer. He had become somewhat more of a friend by this time, it is fair to say.
Sure enough, it made the news a couple of months later when a german zeppelin of unknown type was spotted leaving french airspace. It took a couple more days for news of the soldiers it had apparently deposited into french territory to reach the papers, which caused uproar. The ceasefire was on tenterhooks, but luckily there was the convenient event of new Plotanium-powered "Crawlers", developed by the British, to crow about (plotanium is just a substance that is efficiently manufacturable and vaporises efficiently and reliably - basically making it ideal for hydraulics). Thus the occasional incursions became the norm, one side attacking the other on a small scale. Very little news reached Toulon about the silent running war being fought on the old western front by the armies that, behind closed doors, were being furiously altered. Some girls she had known from the munitions factories and as reservists (in this universe women were allowed to enlist into reserves. A few made it to the front, though this was avoided) were melting away to the secret-filled factories that were increasingly said to be building new machines of war. After several months, out they came.
France had gone all-out on its crawlers. Far stockier than the British "Duck", these had six legs instead of three and a whole host more weapons. Officially named Porte-Infanterie Modèle 1918, but called "Dalle" by anyone who had the misfortune to actually try piloting one, it made a huge splash on the news when the first one made its way to the border in bits on a train. Though nobody wanted to admit it, the war was still in full swing. The situation in the overseas colonies, especially those of the British, was testament to that. The Duck crawlers had already been put to work by the territorial armies, and the hold on the colonies was stronger than ever. They had even began to attack those of historical enemies. All this considered, Valerie was expecting her officer to be called out of his home training post any day now to go and bolster his men. Accordingly, she turned on the charm a little. He grew steadily more besotted and when she asked him one night if he'd take her with him when he rejoined his soldiers, and unthinkingly he told her yes. Valerie promptly enlisted into the reserves of the regiment his squadron fell under.
Valerie had long harboured a desire to go into the military, despite the haunted faces of the men she had made friends with in the boarding house. Being able to ride a horse was qualification enough for the tired sergeant who was just happy that someone wanted to join the reserves as opposed to draining away like the rest of them. Though it would mean she would have to sacrifice her more feminine interests, she was already tired of the confines of the city, and by all accounts the new war was a far cry from the hell of the trenches. Went through training for a while, then when lo and behold her darling officer sent word that he was heading back, he didn't take much persuading to let her come too. Valerie cut an unusual figure on her arrival. The other cavalry soldiers were slightly taken aback, and more than one bore suspicion toward their officer's thought process in allowing her to come with him - suspicions that were allayed when she managed to sit her horse through its woefully frequent tripping (it had been a bit rattled by shellfire in the war and never quite recovered).
Valerie adapted to it all very quickly, accompanying the squadron as a trooper. To the others' chagrin she was often at the front of any assaulting action, the brazen attitude cultivated through barefaced lying to a succession of customers at the medium's serving her well in motivating often soggy and tired troopers, even when she was wet through herself. She proved herself time and time again, and though she was never the greatest shot or the quickest to the sword, she clung to her horse with abandon and those under her grew to dread the times she gritted her teeth and determinedly fixed her lipstick from the grubby tube in her pocket (yes she did no it wasn't practical yes it was cool). In camp and on the move her hastily stifled peals of laughter were often heard, more often than not stemming from a trooper's attempt to impress her. While it wasn't any secret that the only one to have her heart was her officer, she was loath to give up her fun. Besides, it helped her to unwind, something that was a rare privilege. It appeared the Germans had spent all of their time developing new aerial vehicles rather than land vehicles, and their parachuting soldiers were playing havoc up and down the border, and deeper in French territory. A cavalry regiment was therefore sprinting all over the place trying to keep them back.
Currently 1921. Valerie has been in active service for nearly two years. She has had her fair share of close scrapes. Now a lance-corporal after a battlefield promotion, her word carries some weight. She has gone through several tubes of lipstick, each emptied one carefully stored in her lodgings at home. She has reached an uneasy peace with her parents on her breaks away from the front. She has a handsome black mare now, who doesn't collapse at the first rabbit hole, and woe betide the cocky private who thinks he can beat her in a race. Her smile is the terror of the unit, because nobody knows if it's to flirt or receive a five page disciplinary. She has meticulously carved a rose vine onto her sabre hilt. Caring for her horse is a welcome diversion, and though inwardly she is as worried about seeing tomorrow as any of them, she finds ways to distract herself. Many have woken up with very hazy memories and a lipstick mark on their cheek, for instance (and none more than her darling officer heheheheheee).
Hot woman joins the cavalry in alternate universe world, goes kinda masculine but not quite, she likes lipstick because ummmm not sure, enjoys the adrenaline thrill of charging with a sword even if she understands that it is maybe not the greatest idea most of the time.
ALso she might be bisexual but just never worked it out because of the norms back then idk the original version was bisexual so it makes sense for her to be now maybe???? Maybe she had the hots for the medium she worked for or something.

summertime writers' asks: 🌿🌞🌱🐠🍀
VALEN!! :3c thank u for the ask~
🌿 who is your favourite character you've ever written?
i got a lot of favorite characters so i suppose we will start from the top but then go left to something not as obvious: lath from tcol i actually enjoy writing quite a bit. i don’t have much written in tcol’s universe story wise (because i’ve been too busy worldbuilding 💀) however i am very not normal about lath. my favorite reckless, unblinking eagle boy. it’s so hard to explain how obsessed with him i am but i love him so he literally has the most prose about him in tcol’s universe thus far lolol
🌞 favourite character from current wip
it’s hya 💀 however from tcol it’s clear (lath at an extremely close second lol)
🌱 book that inspired your wip
tbh i think the only book that very directly inspired Any of my wips is percy jackson inspiring the creation of darren as an oc in general from vampires don’t take road trips. the story and darren himself have evolved A LOT since then but like that’s the only time a book like straight up inspired a wip i think? unless u count the train wreck that is twilight inspiring gothica 💀
🐠 author who inspires you
cornelia funke like a lot. her books and prose are just chefs kiss esp inkheart.
🍀 character you would kill off if they were not vital to the plot
maverick loverde in LR but… it is a plot point that i AM gonna kill his ass. but just. i would kill him before he could even get INVOLVED with di.
#lots of wips sprinkled around on this answer#s: tcol#s: lukewarm rejection#s: darren and co#s: gofficka#about renjamin#s: vdtrt

Snippet: Theseus/Lally + a side of autistic Newt
Writing 12 chapters ahead of where I’ve posted thus far (x) and ended up with this.
Newt watched a series of emotions flash across Theseus’ face before he settled on one that—as far as Newt could tell from his own experience—approximated resignation.
“You really got in there, Eulalie,” Theseus finally managed to compliment, looking over the intelligence spread across the table, though the words were somewhat muted due to the degree he was clenching his teeth.
“He does mean it, even if it doesn’t sound like it,” Newt assured from where he leaned against the wall, speaking for the first time since her arrival a quarter hour before. “He’s doing that thing where he is impressed with a person’s behaviour but is also quite worried.”
He was watching Pickett walk up and down his fingers as he guilelessly continued.
“So he’s probably trying to choose between reprimanding you and expressing appreciation for your skill, while also balancing the need to respect you as an independent, adult human with whom he has a trusting relationship.”
Theseus and Lally both gaped at him momentarily, and Newt glanced up at their silence, smiling slightly.
“I’ve been your younger brother for 38 years, Theseus.” He explained with a shrug, and he placed Pickett on his shoulder before dropping a hand in his pocket to pick at the stitching. “Plus, Tina is twice as anxious as you, and—contrary to popular belief—I do actually pay attention to human behaviour.”
Lally laughed and smacked Theseus on the arm.
“Well, in that case: I appreciate the concern, love.”
And she placed a kiss on Theseus’ cheek which made him turn slightly pink, something Newt found rather amusing, so he cast his gaze to the ground.
“But I think you’ll find being me in Muggle America isn’t always much safer, Theseus.”
“You know, Lally— My favorite thing about you has to be your constant reassurance.”
“And my favourite thing about you—”
Newt had been fiddling with his pocket but interrupted them abruptly, for he did not feel it was necessary for him to be present for this—frankly disconcerting—newlywed banter.
“I’m sorry, you two, but can we…?” he gestured at the table. “We are on a bit of a timetable.”
“Oh, yes! Yes - apologies, Newt.”

Tumblr's been doing their annual Year in Review and this reminded me that I've always wanted to do a review of my fics for 2022. Other years this has been something I've wanted to do but I've either forgotten or remembered too late.
So, here we are, my little review for my fics from 2022. All the data comes from A03's statistics. Rest is under the cut because it's going to be long.
Statistic Stuff
My "Top Five" fics by hits:
Wooden Shrine (SDR2)
Comfortable Bed(s) (Twisted Wonderland)
The Small Things that Don't Align (Twisted Wonderland)
Lingering Taste (SDR2)
"I can't swim," he said when he could, in fact, swim. (SDR2)
My most kudos in a fic: The Small Things that Don't Align (Twisted Wonderland)
My most bookmarked fic: Comfortable Bed(s) (Twisted Wonderland)
How many words I wrote in 2022: 149,496
Question Stuff
What was the hardest fic to write?
The hardest fic to write by far was Wooden Shrine. Which, was ironic because I purposefully tried to make it less of a work load on me. If you noticed, I made the chapters shorter. This is due to me having an Actual Job that takes a lot of time and mental energy out of my day. Yet, this fic ended up being a challenge. I think the hardest part wasn't the writing of the fic, but finding the mental energy to get through certain sections.
Yet, despite this, Wooden Shrine is one of my favourite fics this year. I think it's because a lot of elements to the fic are an accidental combination of my Kitsune! Komaeda fic and 1000 Kisses. Both fics are ones I hold near and dear to my heart.
2. What was the easiest fic to write?
Without a doubt Comfortable Bed(s) came so easily and so naturally to me. I wrote that in a single afternoon and I'm astonished that I managed to do it quickly. That being said, it was also a challenge for me because it was my second Twisted Wonderland fic and I decided to write Basically Everyone.
3. Which fic is the most underrated?
I think I have two underrated fics. Is this cheating? I made this entire thing up, so I can do what I want.
My first underrated fic is the first fic I wrote in 2022, The Way to Convince a Dragon to Not Murder is Through his Stomach (FE Fates). Listen. Dragon Anankos gaining just a little bit of humanity to barely curb his dragon madness? Dragon Anankos acting like a rabid attack dog with a leash that's about to snap? Dragon Anankos attracted to the Trio because I will shove my Anankos/Trio agenda onto people? It's a great fic and most importantly it was a gift to @shreedle "Thanks for being my friend that I can rant about FEH to".
My second underrated fic is You're Welcome, Byakuran (KHR). First, it's one of my rare 100/51 fics in a Good Timeline. Next, it's a fic purely based on joke conversations between me and @someobscurereference.
4. Which fic(s) had something "cut" or had an idea that never happened?
Originally, I wanted to write more Souda/Sonia/Gundham into Wooden Shrine. I also considered writing a short one shot to show how Souda and Gundham came into contact with Sonia and formed contracts with her. Sadly, this was a time and energy issue, so the idea was dropped.
For my fic Honeycomb Bakery (Modern AU FE Fates) I was going to write it as "Niles is pining after a customer and that's Owain" and thus he keeps giving free baking to Owain. However, I wrote in the silly signs that were clearly written by Owain. I couldn't have Owain as a customer and worker, so I made it an established relationship and moved on.
In Red Handkerchief (FE Fates) I considered giving Odin more angst and drawing out Leo/Niles getting together with him. I scraped it because it felt too close to another Leo Trio fic I wrote years ago, with the "they don't like me back" angst from Odin's end.
Finally, for Burner Phone (KHR) I wrote about 700-800 words in Shouichi's POV. I ended up not liking how it sounded/the tone so I swapped with Byakuran.
5. Which fic did you want to write but didn't get around to it?
-ObscureReference and I have an Elaborate Joke/HC of an OC Demon Parrot named Sprinkles that was summoned by Henry to protect Olivia but mostly Inigo. (We ship Henry/Olivia.) Sprinkles is absolutely Hilarious and our ideas for him have spanned mostly in a Modern AU, but jokes about him in canon verse have come up. I desperately want to write a fic with Sprinkles and might get around to it soon.
-For SDR2/Komahina, I have a fic titled "Another Post SDR2 healing fic" with extensive notes of what I want to happen. I've not touched it in a while since I'm worried it will sound like I'm trying to rehash one of my oldest fics, Waking Up in Pieces.
-With Bleach, a fandom I've been a part of since I was around 12, back I sort of want to write a Bleach fic. In fact, I started a Bleach fic way back in 2016 when I was living in Japan and had a big Bleach re-watch bug in my system. Obviously that never panned out but maybe this year is trying to tell me something...
6. Any WIPs that never got published?
-I have 351 words of a FE Awakening/Fates fic focused on the Trio having some weird ability due to Living Through the Apocalypse and Time Traveling. I wrote the base of it in June at work. I don't remember what I was going to do with this.
-I have a fic titled "Marzipan" and it has exactly 65 words describing Towa City. I do not remember what I was going to do with this fic.
-I started a fic titled "Love at First Stab Attempt" as a prequel to my Serial Killer Komahina fic, Working Relationship. I like the idea but didn't like some of the direction it was going. I might tweak it and post it later.
7. Share a snippet of WIP fic?
Here's the opening snippet from that FE Awakening/Fates fic I mentioned above. You can see that I'm using some ideas from prior fics such as blue flames and devouring something that most people aren't eating. I just really like eating as a metaphor.
"The fire was blue.
Not a light blue as one might expect from a fire. Most fires Inigo knew burned lighter at the source— almost stark white before fanning out into colour. Like a flower opening this fire burned large and tall despite the fuel only a small broken branch of bleached wood. The flame in question burned dark; a thousand midnights compressed into one, or perhaps like the depth of the ocean where under millions of metric tons light struggled to travel.
Pressing his hand against the flame, Inigo supressed the deep bone chilling shudder that ripple under his skin. An instinctual self-preservation method ingrained into his genetic code. It was accompanied by a voice that sounded like his mother’s. The voice rang hollowly before fading into an echo. Swallowing, Inigo reached out. The blue flame lapped at his hand and did not burn. Exhaling slowly, Inigo curled his hand and squeezed the flame between his fingers.
At once the flame jumped into the center of his hand, nestling in the crevice between his fingers and palm. Light danced in his palm, adding a red-pink tinge to the blue flame, creating a muted, dirty purple.
Pulling his hand away, Inigo pressed the flame to his lips and devoured it. Light pulsed in his throat for a moment before settling in his stomach. Warmth blossomed along with a surge of giddiness that border lined tipsy. A hiccupping laugh escaped Inigo’s throat before expanding into petals of soft laughter.
Widely grinning, Inigo picked up more flames until the fire was entirely consumed."
7. Which fic was the one you were most "excited" to write?
The fic I was most excited to write was my Katekyo Hitman Reborn (KHR) fic, Delivery. It's an idea that I always wanted to write: Shouichi going to Byakuran on his own accord. The main reason why I only got around to writing it this year was because I kept changing the tone I wanted. Did I want a more humourous tone? Did I want a more cynical tone? I never knew, but I think I hit the right balance.
8. What's something you're looking forward to writing in the future?
I am looking forward to writing more Twisted Wonderland fics. Yes, I guess I'm deep enough into the fandom that it might become a regular fic occurrence. I have a few ideas, but no idea where they'll lead.
I'm excited to write more SDR2 fics. Yeah, that's predictable, but sometimes a comfort fandom is what one needs.
I'm also super excited to write Sprinkles properly some day. It will happen.
#personal#my fic review 2022#just for fun#and like i dunno anyone can do this? it's fun to be self indulgent on your own blog

For some reason I’m having Generation Outlaw thoughts these past few weeks!? They’re just, weirdly intriguing to me, and I’m putting them in E136.
I don’t have a lot nailed down yet, but just some notes on what I have so far:
They’re basically the Hive Five to Generator & Snow Leopard’s Titans team.
Come about as a result of the chaos of the Crisis, in a world that’s now at least a little inspired by Wildbow’s Parahumans setting, Post-Gold Morning.
I’m tying them to N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and Project Harvester.
@the-antiapocalyptic-man‘s admittedly limited notes on Devour are what inspired this, AND sligshotted Devour to my favourite. If I ever actually write a story about this, Devour’s gonna be the Outlaw’s main POV.
He and Generator are definitely and gonna be foils and maybe kiss? Still, he views Generator with a modicum of jealousy. Closeted Batman fan.
Babe-in-Arms’ name is Mandy, and she’s actually the result of an occult equivalent of a super soldier program, and thus was born a powerful necromancer with the ability to absorb residual knowledge from anyone she raises.
DNA’s the leader here, and created via experimentation of the Martian genome, to see just how far it could really go. Would kill and die for the others’ sake.
Reiser is actually DNA’s “brother” of a sort, here being just a straight up half human clone of Doomsday in the same vein as CADMUS’ various Kryptonian clones. Views Mandy as his little sister.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not an expert on mental health, but Cloud 9 (Alyssa) has Bipolar I disorder. DNA’s constantly worried for her (not about her, for her, I need to make that clear).
While they’re straight up Hive Five style villains at first, they eventually split and end up in the care of the newly resurrected yet still amnesiac Lian Harper, and end up helping her crusade against Prometheus’ criminal enterprises in Blüdhaven.

So- my thoughts on the episode. Spoilers!!!
Dan's exit could've been interesting and it wasn't really, but it was a very normal human thing to do and Dan has been played straight as a very normal human guy, so makes sense.
I'm happy they recruited Ace and Tegan to UNIT rather than continuing Ace's charity story. They already seemed to do everything they could with it in Big Finish and the ACE book and it doesn't fit on-screen Ace well at all. She could've given the company over to someone else or be using it to fund UNIT when the government doesn't want to, but being in the field rather than behind a desk is... mmm. So much better. (I'll have to edit my longfic draft a bit, I was waiting for the episode to come out to add her section, but not too drastically)
I didn't expect them to confirm Tegan/Nyssa one way or the other. Farewell, Sarah Jane is nice, but the Doctor Who Lockdown stories that weren't for the book have been almost completely ignored thus far and I doubt that'll change. For instance, Big Finish gave present Ace a K-9, (in her weakest story imo) but it explicitly wasn't Sarah Jane's.
They also don't outright deny/confirm other expanded media either. "Three decades for me" could mean a number of things, including new meetings with the Doctor getting lost in Ace's short-term memory thanks to Brax and she just didn't age much until she was put back in her own time after Gallifrey.
There is a very particular itch for the Master for me that only Sacha Dhawan has scratched and Rasputin and taking the Doctor's body presumably for the extra (now possibly infinite) lives, something he's always wanted to do but never quite succeeded in doing- letting him actually do it, all felt very fresh.
The past faces manifesting in their mind during a time of terrible danger thing hasn't been done on TV I don't think, and it was done in the perfect surreal way.
The hologram 5 and 7 were adorable. Five comforting Tegan about Adric and Seven making up with Ace and acknowledging she's grown up and he's proud of her on-screen. (Chibnall you actually remembered that he's basically her dad when so many writers have forgotten that especially with the few modern-day Ace stories.)
I felt very teased with the possibility of a Thasmin kiss. They didn't have to, but that left something balled up in my chest. The ice creams were quite literally sweet though.
All of the bad guys are just fodder for the Master, that's kinda meh. His plan being trigger every volcano on Earth to cause a doomsday rather than just hyperbeaming it with his death star planet is a very Classic Master plan though.
Kate didn't do much and that makes me sad. Still no Osgood=homophobic. I don't make the rules. At least she's not dead, even though Chibnall could do so justifiably, since the (Jenna Redgrave) Kate is his character.
The plot is messy but there is a through line and it comes to a decent conclusion after that huge rollercoaster.
Companion support group is an official thing now I thought that would only ever exist in fanfic and comedy skits.
The end... I'm sorry. I just didn't like it. I never liked 10, he's my least favourite Doctor. I'd have preferred if they did half the regeneration here, fade to white, credits roll, the other half in the next special, because while I love David Tennant in other roles (especially Crowley) I cannot stand his Doctor, think he’s overstayed his welcome and wish I could ignore it.
Overall I think it's a good story and it has all the love for classic who that I wish the 50th had but didn't. Better written than DotD? I don't think so, but I like it better. (For one I actually like most of the characters involved, not only 3 of them) It definitely feels like a comfort episode, very self-indulgent, very camp and fun, fanfic-y but in a good way- but also this thing is a straight-up whole action movie, not an ordinary special.
Also you can still 100% tell that after series 10 Chibnall binge-read the VNAs, has the same vibes as the books, including one I was reading last night. To be fair Transit is all about space trains but that's just a coincidence I totally forgot there'd be a space train in the episode .

Tag I’m It
tag game ✨️
Thanks for the tag Andy @mrsandypants . I will lovingly answer all questions asked. 🫶
name: Carrie 💛
sign: Aquarius ♒️
height: 5’6” / 167cm
time: 20:54 (PDT)
birthday: February 5th
favorite band/artist: Enhypen, TXT, Itzy, Chungha, Somi (these are my current ults of ults.)
last movie: Divergent. Hardly the best movie and the books are much better. I was talking about the novels with friends and then I saw the movie on Netflix and just decided to watch it again.
last show: The Gifted and The Gifted: Graduation (only halfway through watching this season). I like it. But so far the 1st season is much better than the second season. The episode structure was better, it allowed more time for character building and development. So far it seems like they tried to fit too many ideas into the second season and just shoved new characters in without allowing for the same character building. Thus making viewers question why they should care about the new characters at all. (Well there is my mini review not that anyone asked for it lol).
when i created this blog: It was either late 2021 or early 2022 I don’t remember exactly.
what i post: I post k-pop stills. Mostly Enhypen as they are currently my favourite group. I like posting stills as I enjoy capturing little moments. I also like the stories that can be told through a picture. Or the feelings that a picture can invoke. Or at least I always tend to have a story or emotion attached to the images I capture.
other blogs: I don’t currently have any other blogs.
do i get asks: nope. And I kind of like it that way. Not that I would be opposed to answer questions. But I am a shy and anxious person who is not always the most sociable.
followers: 37 Thank-you for following me. I appreciate you all.
average hours of sleep: 6-8 once I actually fall asleep. But the sleep I get is not always the most restful due to multiple sleep disorders.
instruments: I wish I was musically inclined but I am not.
what i'm wearing: a grey t-shirt with the breast cancer symbol on it and grey sweat pants.
dream job: I honestly don’t think I have one. If a job existed where I could just work with animals and never had to work or communicate with humans that would be ideal.
dream trip: honestly this homebody just wants to stay at home. But if I had to go somewhere it would most likely be to go to Iceland with my mother. She really wants to go there and it would be nice to be able to go there with her.
favourite songs: My current favourite songs are fromis_9’s Stay This Way. Such a fun summer bop. Enhypen’s Shout Out. I love everything about this song. Yoon’s Born to Love You. His voice is just so pretty. Kihyun’s Voyager. The rasp in his voice does something to me. J-Hope’s More. I love the sound and vibe of this song. Purple Kiss’s Nerdy. This song makes me think that if in some alternate universe I was a k-pop idol I would want to be in a group like Purple Kiss.
Tagging: Honestly there is no one I feel comfortable enough with to tag them in this. So to anyone who sees this and wants to respond tag your it.

awww yissss ask game! 🌿 🌞 🍉 🌷 🍧 🍓 and 👒 I hope that's not too many but I'm so curious! I hope you have a lovely day <3 <3 <3
Ah, thank you for asking, dear Nonny - and I hope you have a super lovely day as well!🥰
🌿 who is your favourite character you've ever written?
Damn, that's a hard one! I love all my Benedict characters so so so so much, and I love my OFCs in equal measure. But I'm going to rip the bandaid right off and say it's a tie between Stephen Strange in Of Magic, Miracles, and Moonlight, Professor Hennessy in Scarlett and the Professor, and AU Benedict (a poet and up'n'coming actor) in Whiskey Kisses.
🌞 favourite character from current wip
SCARLETT CAMPBELL - my OFC from Scarlett and the Professor
🍉 least favourite character / hardest to write
least favorite - John Watson (though I haven't written any Sherlock fics in years, he remains so)
🌷 writing achievement you want to brag about
Wow- this is toughie!...
I mean, I am continually doing whatever I can to promote my work unahamedly at every opportunity, but for this my mind goes blank. Soooooooo- I'll say chapter twelve of Of Magic, Miracles, and Moonlight, because I believe it captures the essence of the love that has flourished between Stephen and Teyla, and much of the chapter just flowed from me, organically. Aaaaaaand, I want to say the WIP Scarlett and the Professor - I dare to feel it's some of my best work and that the mix of erotica and unspoken love expressed in Scarlett's and Hennessy's adventurous intimacies is the pinnacle of what I've written thus far.
🍧 weirdest place you've written
Oh, this is cool. A few years ago, a coworker and I had to give depositions regarding a customer "accident" we witnessed. We spent the whole afternoon at the office of the plaintiff's lawyer (giving the actual deposition was a fascinating process!); I went first, and while I waited for my coworker to finish hers, I worked on The One That Got Away in the reception area. (chapter twelve -"for love, thou know'st, is full of jealousy"...if you're interested in checking it out 😏)
🍓 worst thing you've done to your characters
Created a situation where the lovers-to-be (they already are in heart and mind, but not in the flesh) experience mixed/missed signals at a large party; jealousy flourishes, and they both do something extremely regrettable--which leads to futher obstacles for their fulfillment. My poor, dear babies! (that same chapter twelve in The One That Got Away)
👒 nicest thing you've done to your characters?
Whenever any of my couples finally get to consummate their love and/or lust--after either unsuccessfully fighting their feelings, or going through much pining and angst.
#thank you Nonny - this was a most excellent ask!#my writing#my art and my shelters from the storm that is my life

November, 1996.
International breaks are always weird, being thrown into a shabby hotel in a foreign country that Gary’s not sure he could point to on a map, given a week to bond with players who only a couple of days ago he was expected to hate. He almost – almost – resents being brought out; he’s on the bench this game, doesn’t expect to be subbed on unless circumstances get dire. In just a few days, he’ll be back in Manchester playing what feels like a much more important fixture than world cup qualifiers: Old Trafford, against an Arsenal team led by his current England captain.
It's a bit like a really stressful, badly timed holiday from playing. But there is one positive, which is that shabby or not a hotel room is a hell of a lot nicer than his parents’ house, in his poky bedroom that shares a wall with his little brother. To be fair, though, Gary would probably be happy with a tent in a field somewhere if it meant he and Becks could be alone and undisturbed.
Their room only has narrow single beds, which they’d shoved together the second they’d arrived. This was perhaps not the brightest idea, because although the fear of tumbling off the edge is gone, every time they come close to the small gap between the mattresses Gary worries that their combined weight will push the beds apart and they’ll end up on the floor anyway.
There’s a TV in the corner, which they’d been delighted to find has MTV, so it’s providing soft background music to their current exertions.
Gary’s hand is around David’s dick and David’s lips are on his neck when suddenly he breaks away and says “God, look at her.”
He turns, irritated, to follow David’s gaze. On the small TV screen, there’s that new girl group, singing a vaguely familiar song and sort of half-dancing along with it.
“Are you – Becks, are you honestly checking out one of the fuckin’ Spice Girls while I’m pullin’ you off?”
“Mmm, can’t blame a guy for having an active imagination.” He shifts himself closer to Gary, presses a filthy kiss to his annoyed pout. “See the posh one, there. In the black catsuit. I could marry her, Gaz, those legs.”
Gary huffs and pushes David away, crosses his arms. “Red card, Becks. Listenin’ to you talk about marrying some girl off the telly is a bit of a turn-off, d’youknowwhatImean?”
David crawls back towards him with a smirk, gets his face right up close to Gary’s. His stupid golden hair is a mess, flopped over his stupid beautiful face, and it tickles when some of the strands brush against Gary’s face, making him blush.
“Y’don’t need to get all jealous,” he says, closing the last few millimetres between them to kiss Gary again, far more chaste than anything they’d been doing just a few moments ago. “What’d a pop star want with a dumb footballer? ‘sides, what’d a dumb footballer want with a pop star when he’s already bagged a skinny Manc who can’t shut up?”
“Maybe the skinny Manc doesn’t like feeling like he’s only being kept around ‘til someone better comes along.”
“Then maybe the skinny Manc’s the actual dumb one, ‘cause there is no one better. Not for me, Gaz, you’re it.”
Gary is twenty-one years old and he feels like his whole body’s being set on fire every time Becks smiles at him. They’ve been doing this for over a year now, and it’s not gotten any easier. It’s become worse, if anything, because now that he knows what it feels like to hold David any minute not spent doing that makes him feel like he’s dying.
He wants to believe him, wants to trust that Becks feels the same, that this is a forever sort of thing. But there’s always that niggling thought in the back of his mind, the one telling him he’s not special, not like Becks is. That he’ll never be special, that sooner or later Becks is going to realise that and he’ll be left with nothing.
For now, though, he kisses him with a smile and pulls him down on top of him, Becks laughing as he grabs for the TV remote to turn it off.
#it always feels weird to write bits where David is like. choosing gary over other better people.#bc i am Very Aware that in real life he Would Not Do That#so I write him gushing over how much he loves gary and im like oh my god he is so fucking cringe#david you're embarrassing yourself. etc#beville#wip asks
