#besos! #thatiranianphantom #bughead #bughead fanfiction #you know it's sort of weird i write valentine's one shots as much as i do #since i have no real interest or care about the day itself #oh well i suppose #i do enjoy the chaos of them i gotta be honest #tho those are in no particular order #i still think the unbearable temptation one is peak absurdity hah

These are pretty much my 5 most recent fics. Crazy how skills develop like that. Do not read this if you don't like SIN. thank you.

5. The Fireside

A true cassie/jenny slow burn. I have 14ish chapters written but only one published because why would I do that. This is from an unpublished chapter but it's my favorite so. It's only last because I don't love all of it but I am proud of the work I put into it.

She laughs, “I hate you.”

She hates her so much, especially the way she carefully stands up from the table, fixing herself, adjusting the navy blue dress that couldn’t pass as a bridesmaid’s dress anyway, not in this world. Jenny’s head swims just watching her, she doesn’t even notice the music change, but is aware that suddenly she can hear her own thoughts a little too loudly. 

“No you don’t,” she hears Cassie say. She looks up and Cassie has her hand extended out to her. 

She shakes her head, “Cass…” she says, sinking back in her seat. 

“Come on,” she encourages, “let’s make more people uncomfortable.”

4. Into Light

Your classic Shoot fix-it-fic. Same deal as before, I've written 23 billion chapters but only published four blah blah. My first BIG chapter fic, I wrote it during nanowrimo my junior year of college instead of doing my midterms.

“ You never refer to her by her name” The machine will say to her. This usually frustrates Shaw and she will respond with something short. Feeling frustrated, mostly because the machine is right. She doesn’t refer to her by name, she doesn’t and she won’t. Not until she can believe that Root died for something and that her name can hold some value. She doesn’t say her name because she doesn’t feel like she deserves to, and also, because it hurts. Every time in the past when she’d say it to Root the tone was always annoyed, or frustrated, or pushing her away. She doesn’t think she’d ever regarded it as anything else.

The name Root and the woman it belonged to was the thorn in her side. Until it wasn’t. Until she wasn’t. Someday, when she can truly believe that all the things left in Root’s wake are significant and worth it and leave the world better off than if Root were still in it, then she’ll say it.

3. Smash or Pass

It's shoot smut, and it has the most hits of all my AO3 works. Yup.

Shaw leans over again, using one finger to brush Root’s hair away from her face, but avoiding any more contact than that, “simple” she comments, “I give a scenario...a place, a person, object” her voice falls a bit heavily on the last one, “and you tell me, smash...or pass”

2. Her Mouth like the Best Wine

This is the companion piece to my #1 fic. Yes all of my smut follows the exact same formula....it be like that. Honestly I like smash or pass a little bit more but I was just so brave about writing this you know.

also in finding this excerpt i realized the formatting is all fucked up on ao3 so that's cool

“When does the new relationship novelty usually wear off, for you?”

A sobering question. “For me?” Jenny asks for clarification, still laughing, “depends. Maybe I’m still waiting this time,” she mumbles the second part. Cassie leans in and stares at her for a moment before responding. Jenny tugs at the end of her blonde hair with her free hand, unconsciously, stopping abruptly with her lips pressed together. Cassie watches her thought process and it disarms her how the other woman just softens in front of her.

“It was…kind of a joke, Jenny,” Cassie says then. It wasn’t actually, but Jenny smiles at her anyway, “but you’re right,” Cassie continues, “love does make you stupid. For example, how I needed to blame a job for an excuse to take my girlfriend out to dinner.”

“Aw. I didn’t know you loved me."

Envy Slays the Strong-Willed

This is my favorite thing I've ever written but a long shot, and it's the most fun I've ever had writing. I don't know what I was doing right on February 9th 2022 but it worked and I've never experienced it since.

“You’ve got your gun on you somewhere?” Jenny asks then, running with the joke. 

The joke is on her though, because Cassie barely lifts up the hem of her dress, revealing the bottom of a gun holster on her right thigh. 

Right there, under the stark gas station lights that do no one any favors, Jenny then endures her second near-death experience. 

woooooooooo

#thatiranianphantom #long post #if you're not writing about women fucking in their kitchens and then using mangled bible verses as the title like what are you even doing #i hate big sky so much but it birthed a creativity in me i didn't know existed #sin

[nacefanfic-quotes]

She hadn’t even noticed the time going by. Not like her, not like her at all, but after the curse was broken, she and Ace were just so…caught up. And the last week, if it was truly a week, was a blur of lost clothes and takeout and him taking her apart so many times and it was so good , so blissful, so close to perfect that she almost can’t bring herself to care.

2023 A03 Year End Fic Review

tagged by @onlyalittlebookworm - thank you!

1. What is your AO3 account?

winterlovesong

2. How many words did you write total in 2023?

148, 705 – hard to tell exactly because some of those are drabble collections in that estimate and so the collective number gets thrown off...

3. How many fics did you publish in 2023? How many multichapters vs oneshots?

34 Total – I’m just including the drabble collections at this point because it's easier lol

12 multichapters (this includes drabble collections)

22 oneshots

4. What was your longest fic? Your shortest fic?

 Longest Fic: 

Are you leaving or just getting home?

Fandom: Boy Meets World I Ship: Shawn/Angela I Word Count: 17,792

Shortest Fic:

And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

Fandom: Nancy Drew I Ship: Nancy Drew/Ace I Word Count: 415

5. What was your most popular fic? Your least popular fic?

I’m going to score “popularity” by kudos -

Most Popular:

it was always you

Fandom: Nancy Drew I Ship: Nancy Drew/Ace

Least Popular:

I think about a hundred thoughts and you are ninety-nine

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer I Ship: Spike/Buffy

6. What fic didn’t perform as well as you thought it would?

I have two that I feel really proud of that I thought deserved more attention – again this is going by the kudo popularity scale…

I'll face my fear of the evening once I get used to this feeling

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer I Ship: Spike/Buffy

watch from a distance just to see you glow

Fandom: Boy Meets World I Ship: Shawn/Topanga

7. What fic performed way better than you thought it would?

I have two – one was my first Nace fic back from the season four premiere and I just was so warmed by the reception:

I'll sing it one last time for you (then we really have to go)

The second is a Shawn/Topanga fic that out of all my Shawpanga fics I was surprised this was the most popular:

Asking the right questions

8. What was your favorite fic you wrote from 2023?

Again I’m gonna list several and why because why not?

I'll face my fear of the evening once I get used to this feeling

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer I Ship: Spike/Buffy

I really like the split POV of this fic and the concept of them both wanting subconsciously something more soft with the other, but not wanting to ever admit that…

I'll sing it one last time for you (then we really have to go)

Fandom: Nancy Drew I Ship: Nancy Drew/Ace

I’ll have a special place for this one in my heart since it was my first one after the season four premiere – a somewhat drought for me creatively with Nace since the show had been off the air for so long.

of what we had because it's over (well there must be something in the tide)

Fandom: Nancy Drew I Ship: Nancy Drew/Ace

Even though this was started in 2022, it’s a multichapter that has continued into 2023 and will now continue into 2024. I’m proud of this fic in the sense I am committed to finishing it but also that it’s one even though I’m not consistently updating it, when I return to it, it always feels like I’m working on something that moves me creatively.

9. What was your favorite fic that somebody else wrote in 2023?

ooh get ready I have quite a few:

Spuffy Fic Recs:

The following are by @dustyfics

Dream I Called I Meet Me at Midnight

Sappy post finale post, because if everyone can, then so can I 😂

I'm feeling so melancholic now that that first rush is dying just a little (which I will relive another 16 times today as I rewatch the scenes), but this show has been my comfort and constant for 4 years now. And in many ways, those were the hardest 4 years I've had, because the situations forced me to grow and deal with unresolved issues (which is good, but hard). Since ND started, I finished my master's, started my PhD, went through a world pandemic and unemployment, then got a new job, went through therapy and a round of AD, I gained friends and lost friends, and grieved for the relationships I had to cut out of my life. Through all that, Nancy Drew was always this beacon of light for me. A show that was so well written, I could always count on it to put me in a good mood. A show that wasn't scared of not taking itself too seriously, and deliver comedic gold at the perfect timing.

As a matter of fact, my last experience with fandom wasn’t such a pleasant one, and I was busy with life, but also skeptic to get engaged again. I didn't want another negative experience to ruin my comfort show. I see now I was wrong, because this is literally the most welcoming fandom in the world, and I'm looking forward to all the fun we will have now, that these characters, as a friend put it, are ours now. Nobody can touch them now.

But even not actively participating, even just watching and occasionally screaming with you guys on here about these blorbos and their supernatural chaos, it brought me so much joy and excitement. It really helped me get through rough times and I will always look back on it as one of my favorite shows in existence.

So shoutout to @nancy-drews and @thatiranianphantom for allowing me to scream at them about Nace constantly, and thanks to all the Discord people for making me feel the most welcome in the past 24 hours, and thanks to all my ND followers. Each time you liked, reblogged or interacted with any post of mine, you absolutely made my day.

I really had the time of my life fighting supernatural entities with you. ❤️

So today, in this installment of #TalesFromPreK, we were approaching the end of the day and I was finding a video for a transition.

The kids were chanting "shake break, shake break!"

So we clarified the difference between a question and an order, and I told them "No, Ms. Thatiranianphantom is not a waiter in a restaurant. Please may we do a shake break would be a question. What you're saying is an order." Ad then we went over some examples.

Right after, one of my girls raised her hand and when called on, said "May I give you a hug now?"

Oh, sweet baby 🥺. That is indeed a question.

(And then the proceeding hug turned into a group hug and, you know, we may be in a rush but there is always time for love.)

[zumpietoo]

So to summarise and paraphrase thatiranianphantoms argument is “I think Cole is awful and I’m a fan of Lili but I think Lili has and can work with him, so the show can get better (really so I can get my bughead endgame). Lili can handle it”. Imagine wanting someone you are a fan of work with someone you think is awful just so you can get your ship. Plus all her tumblr buddies think this is fine. They are such lovely people.

Sorry so late in replying!!! (working mah way thru, now, mah peeps!)

They truly are just heinous on every conceivable level today, huh?

There's moar from her that I shall drag, but for now, this, too is hilarious, from both ends.....

I absolutely looooovvvvveee Barfies/KokeJstans calling Cole a "monster"....dudes, your boi is the heroin junkie who DUI'd 2 vehicles in one week, got booted from flights (and placed on the no fly list) and fucked a child. Oh and a rape apologist, who cheats relentlessly on his babymama (cuz in the closet) and likely your kween looked to try and homewreck with, as well....

JIzzystans....Barfie is likely not endgame, but neither is jizzy....and, again, why do you even want it?
