Hi, I know absolutely nothing about your aus!! But I'd love to hear about them!!

What are they! How did you come up with them? Which is your favourite? What's your favourite moments from them?

:D

oh, i honestly have a bunch! i think most of them, except my black dog au, are in my pinned post. but i have ones like my mermaid au and john wick au that aren't listed.

but my favorite is probably still my aac au. even if it's two years old and was written before a lot of lore reveals and some of the characters are off (looking at you, punz), i still love it. it's kind of the heart of who i am and what my stories are about: people getting the chance to heal and grow and be better.

which is basically how i come up with most of them! i take an idea or scenario and go 'there's hurt and pain here. now, how does it end in peace and kindness?' it's never perfect, things are messy, but that's just the kind of stories i like to tell and that belief kinda influences all my ideas.

Hallmark Christmas movie, protag moves to Vienna to be with loved one, finds good job, happy ending. Only setbacks and conflicts are the lady at the store always says they're out of cookies (a lie, but she will change and learn through the power of christmas) and a neighbour that competes in christmas decorations.

The xmas plot and set pieces are independent of the time of year in which you move there, btw

This is the fucking goal. Manifesting relentlessly

What are your top 5 favorite books?

oh no this one's actually really difficult sjkjfsk

i'm very picky and i've had a bad few years for reading (2020-2022 i didn't read much, 2023 i read lots of new stuff but i hardly liked any of it, and in 2024 i'm *still* trying to get myself to reread things i know i like...) so. umm...

here is my list of favourite books from when i was a teenager, probably subject to change:

carry on (rainbow rowell) - YA fantasy romance, sincere love letter to the genre, and incisive genre deconstruction. the book that got me into writing fanfic, and the reason for my url! featuring a sad gay vampire and the worst chosen one ever to be chosen in a genuine and very well-executed enemies to lovers arc.

the raven boys (maggie stiefvater) - YA fantasy/romance/crime/genre-eclectic novel about a close-knit group of teenagers on a quest, and a prophecy that one of them will die within the year. hard to describe, but both very compelling and fun.

the darkest part of the forest (holly black) - YA fantasy romance about a town where humans live alongside the fae. a really interesting world and a great story intertwining a bunch of folkloric-feeling plot threads. also, this author's best work, imo, alongside her other standalone (the coldest girl in coldtown; about a vampirism epidemic.)

cuckoo song (frances hardinge) - quite an atypical YA fantasy about a changeling girl, set in (iirc) 1920s britain. grimy in an aesthetically pleasing way, and sort of horror-adjacent.

the secret history (donna tartt) - adult crime/mystery/litfic/founding text of the "dark academia" aesthetic. a group of intense, pretentious classics students murder one of their classmates, and we spend most of the book tracing back how/why they got to that point.

and here are five books which should be candidates for my favourite, but which i need to reread to be sure of my feelings about:

under the pendulum sun (jeanette ng) - gothic fantasy about missionaries trying to convert the fae to christianity.

piranesi (susanna clarke) - fantasy about a man with amnesia living in an infinitely large and impossible house.

the girl with all the gifts (m.r. carey)- a sort of dystopian zombie story, with an unusual amount of sympathy for the zombies.

rosemary's baby (ira levin) - horror about a woman being manipulated by a cult into bearing the antichrist.

we have always lived in the castle (shirley jackson) - gothic(?) novel about the remains of a family living in the aftermath of the murder of most of them.

so umm yeah. there's several hundred words to answer a very simple question skfdsjk

-> ask me for a top five list of anything 💛

Fanfic asks!

4. The best pairing you've written for is hard, because all of the pairings I've read that you've done have been just so so good, but Lilith/Wenduag holds a special place in my heart. Their dynamic is just so crunchy and fascinating to me, and honestly the way you write wenduag in general is just so good. I love Ashes to Ashes the most but I'm a fan of everything you've written for them.

8. What i like most about your writing--i hope i explain it properly, but just. your sense of rhythm and the way you use prose is just amazing. your writing doesnt even really feel like reading to me, it's just staring right into the thoughts of your characters, it feels so clear and easy and so polished. You're just so skilled in general and I love how clearly your prose conveys character!

aaaaah thank you so much!!! Lilith/Wenduag are one of my unexpected favorites, they've become such a delight to write and I'm so glad to know that people are enjoying them with me <3

and that's such a beautiful compliment, thank you so so much! 😭

of Course you would post about sibling relationships that play out against the backdrop of their inability to escape the specter of cyclical violence like a slow ominous black hole (am i talking about tim and dick or am i talking about cowboy game? yeah)

rimi ive had this sitting here in my inbox for the past hour because i feel truly seen.............its genuinely so real this was me with dick&tim AND arthur&john (cowboygame) but this was ALSO me with jiang cheng and wei wuxian and probably others. god i really just have a thing with siblings and cycles of violence huh

Ok, I know you JUST posted this but I couldn't resist.

For the ship headcanons-

Meve/Reynard - SFW 12 & 13, NSFW 4 & 12

and if you're feeling generous

Gascon/Reynard - NSFW 9 & 13

I'm so sorry I couldn't respond right away, but know I was SO excited to see this so quickly! <3

Meve/Reynard

12. Can they stand silence? Who talks the most? Who talks the least?

They're both very comfortable with silence and would have a nightly routine of sitting by the fire reading side by side holding hands, Meve thinking out loud about whatever she's reading and Reynard humming absently along. Meve talks the most with Reynard an avid listener, but that's not to say Reynard is completely silent. Anything he's deeply passionate about one way or another can lead to very detailed, occasionally heated, discussions that both of them thoroughly enjoy - it serves as great foreplay.

13. Who stays up late? Who sleeps the most? Does the other have to force them to sleep/wake up?

Reynard will nod off occasionally in the evening and Meve will chide him to go off to bed (he refuses to turn in before her), but Meve by far sleeps the most. Accustomed to a soldier's life, Reynard has never struggled to function off of five hours of sleep and relishes a hot cup of tea with the sunrise while Meve bears early mornings with gritted teeth. To make them easier, Reynard wakes her gently with tea or coffee placed at her bedside and knows not to begin speaking until she's finished her cup.

NSFW

4. Oddest place they’d have sex?

Anywhere outside of a bed chamber. It's a little old fashioned, but mostly because Reynard doesn't want to potentially expose the Queen. However, she did convince him that one time at her summer estate out by the lake ... although reynard denies it ever happened

12. How are their afterglows?

They're both so happy to be with someone they love and who cherishes them that the afterglow each time is like the first time, mesmerized by the other and how complete it feels to be with someone who knows just how to read their body and please them.

13. Who’s loud? Who’s quiet? Does one try to make the other louder/quieter? How? (oops I mistakenly did this for meve/reynard too)

Neither is overly vocal because they are so accustomed to sneaking time with each other around duties and having many people floating around. But occasionally, Meve likes to send everyone from the royal wing of the castle away - and put both of their stamina to the test. Then Reynard gets loud.

Gascon/Reynard because yes please

9. Quickest turn ons? Immediate turn offs?

The breeze could blow right and Gascon is ready to go, but it's taken careful trial and error to learn that the quickest way to turn Reynard on is to whisper suggestive ideas when they're in public but no one else is paying attention. If he's too obvious or too outright flirty, Reynard is immediately turned off by the impropriety of it all. The only turn off for Gascon would be if he was made to feel inferior or lesser than by Reynard after they've grown close, after he's made himself vulnerable.

13. Who’s loud? Who’s quiet? Does one try to make the other louder/quieter? How?

Gascon is performatively loud and obnoxious, partially because of the thrill of being caught, or to drive Reynard crazy and get a rise out of him (wink wink), but also because he doesn't believe in repressing feelings that make someone feel alive. but it's also given reynard a complex and if gascon isn't loud he's quietly disappointed with himself

Number 11 for the writing ask for Keeping Score (again) please! 💜

11: What do you like best about this fic? Meme here

To be honest: My initial plot that I scrapped. I mapped out so much intrigue and so many betrayals and I got really deeply into the worldbuilding with Cania, Tav's backstory, Antilia, and so on. But I took too long breaks in between and didn't write everything down so I forgot a bunch (rip). Nevertheless I'm still proud of it!

Other than that I'd say the last smut scene. It was so cute. And the fact that Tav isn't perfect at all but has a few flaws of her own.

Oh and the Minsc cameo, lol

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

also slightly unrelated (??) but not entirely,, the way things are written/visually shown (just depending on the media form of course) and conveyed has always been really important to me and i felt compelled to share this particular. little something i remember from a very particular lil something else (if anyone recognised it specifically i would be surprised though), just ever-so-slightly rephrased because of context reasons. aside from that, well. i don't have the right words so i just trust you understand sksdkskl i just think it's quite powerful in the way it's worded

"The kindness in you is screaming. That's why you're forgiven. That's why, please live. Your suffering is proof of being human..."

it has a particular raw kind of potent, unashamed (?) sense to it that- is very strong to me (well, so long as it isn't used for the kinds of things that only leave a weird feeling on me, but when i say that, i. have only one highly specific thing in mind so the "weird feeling instances," shall i call them, are not the norm) and i think- basically, what I'm trying to say is I get a very similar feeling from your writing? the way certain things are conveyed is just. it just feels very good to me in that sense. it's a bit specific- not sure how i could describe it, exactly. i usually have a distinct preference for a very neat, dare i say "sophisticated" sense in writing, but at certain times or in particular ways- if you just give me something that isn't even feeling all too neatly written, like, at all, and is rather "messy" even, perhaps "unrefined"- but hits that kind of raw emotion? i'll most likely still love it. things need that. and that doesn't mean you can't combine the two...? it's such a balance. which, btw, i think you hit perfectly

so. yeah <3 i truly appreciate that so much. it's a very particular kind of thing that i happen to be particular over haha,, i consider it a part of what i consider "good writing," but it's not like writing isn't or can't be good without it- it's its own very specific part of it is all, and- yeah. most of all this is an appreciation post! i really do respect your writing a lot. much respect to you :D

ah,,,

i think i get what you mean, yeah. i'm not sure if i'm particular about it myself but i do notice and appreciate when the writing's, like, eloquency (so to speak) takes a backseat to the raw emotions. i think it's very neat

#thank you <3 <3 <3

[revenantghost]

your passion and joy for enjoying media (also in trigun brainrot hell, woo) and creating things - don't get me started on your fantastic writing - is honestly such a joy to see on my dashboard, and i just want to cheer you on to keep having a good time. hope you're having a wonderful day or night, too.

Alkajnsdlakjdn oh gosh thank you?!?!?! So much?!?!?!?!?!?!? This legitimately made me tear up when I clicked on my inbox <3 I'm so, so, so happy that anyone gets anything from whatever I create, especially my writing because I have such a tough relationship with that, so seriously--thank you!!!

Never got to say it so I wanna say it now- right smack in the middle of my hs cafeteria.

Ty ty ty guys for always putting up with the fics I chuck at your faces <3 Writing them has helped me so much over the past year, like to a laughable degree, especially as I continue to grapple with my own negative emotions and loneliness. Being able to channel those stormclouds into silly little stories about a lonely alien general and his pupper best friend has been such a balm to my soul. Always reminding me what makes a friendship. Always reminding me that there will be people beyond your blood that will take you in and love you. Then, the fact that people enjoy them…? ;-; That’s all I can ever ask for and more. It’s like being sick, making soup from scratch, and people actually liking your recipe. This hobby keeps me sane y’all. Stupid little fanfiction.

Always be kind! Always cheer people on! Always be you. Everyone else is taken!

….

(And ofc I just love Crisis Core Sephiroth. Like a whole lot. Like a whole whole lot <3)

hi! you are NOT the asshole. it is not your job to carry your mother emotionally or financially. i’m proud of you for setting boundaries, that takes guts and i hope you know someone somewhere in the world is proud of and inspired by you

i secretly think (well, rather, i secretly thought, since now it is no longer secret) that you have sold something valuable (e.g. a soul, a cabbage, an antique cabinet) to get powerful graphic design skills. either that or the work you've put into being able to make cool pictures of neat quotes has most certainly paid off :)
