I'm constantly stuck in the crushing rift between "keep all of your ideas secret and surprise people when they're ready" and "share your ideas-in-progress because who knows if they'll ever be ready"

So anyway if anyone happens to be curious, here's a brief list of current multichapter wips I'm bouncing between like a puppy excitedly taking a bite out of every food bowl around them! They're all TreyRid focused btw lol

The Beach Villa Fic

Rook invites some buddies to one of his family villas in the Sunshine Lands over Spring Break, but the situation spirals wildly out of control and suddenly the whole student cast is involved. Shenanigans ensue.

Been in the works since Book 6 first dropped in JP, a warm-up for MNP chapters that grew and grew and haha oops. Sort of a drabble collection, sort of tied together by an overarching plot. Though it's TreyRid focused, this is a fic where some minor background pairings may or may not also pop up👀. This is a double-edged sword though as it means I have to figure out how to write a lot of people, even if I cut the cast down to a fraction of its size, and that's more or less the main block stopping me from really knuckling down even though the Stitch event in JP gave me ideas.

The Freedom Fic

After coming to terms with some capital-T Things, Riddle decides to take his own path in life and moves out of his family home in the summer of his third year following a falling out with his mom. His summer is spent with Trey's family, where he gets effectively adopted as one of them while working through Some More Things.

Started shortly after finishing MNP. Not really a sequel but definitely influenced by it. Originally just meant to be pure sugary feel-good fluff, and then I went and added angst as per usual. Still mostly just cute stuff though because I like cute stuff and I write for me. Just like the Beach fic, the main block is having to write a lot of people, with the added caveat of trying to cobble together and develop Trey's family. The siblings are the bane of my existence.

The Crossover Fic

A mysterious phenomena overtakes NRC, and while investigating the Heartslabyul crew get whisked away to a strange, blank world. With the help of some eccentric locals, they must find a way home while surviving the wrath of a Queen who should not exist.

My current fic fixation (fic-xation, ha), though who knows how long that'll last. Entirely For ME, the most self-indulgent thing. Not explicitly a crossover in that two properties are colliding, but in that the concept of one is used as the basis for the story with the characters of another. Which property it is is part of the surprise ;) Despite having a decently sized cast with OCs made from the ground-up, the biggest block is actually just plain ol' real life things. Sucks.

Also may or may not be another collaboration! Though possibly not quite as intertwined as MNP and NTYH and again, due to irl circumstances that's up in the air.

Honorable mentions:

The Horror Fic: Trey and Riddle are again whisked away, and must brave a wilderness full of hostile creatures and disease. Meant to be more of a tense survival-horror style romp compared to the big one above. Guaranteed to never see the light of day.

The Trey Fic: MNP from the perspective of Trey, continues beyond the original story and explores his experience with therapy because boy you are not immune to traumatic events. Only exists in notes and one-off scenes. Maybe some day.

The Other Crossover Fic: The only non-ship fic. Omori but it's with Idia. If you know, you know. Only in planning, no actual writing to be had yet.

#the writer's journal #warning for possible omori spoilers at the bottom of the post #it's below 'honorable mentions' just in caser #normally i like to keep this stuff to myself and ramble in dms or group chats of close friends #but for once i feel like if i don't just Get This Out somewhere i'm gonna explode #don't get your hopes up for these btw as i too suffer from the curse of never finishing JACK #but if any of them happen to pique your curiosity......👀

six fics of 2016

thanks @lostlegendaerie for the tag, this was originated by @secretlystephaniebrown !

So I thought I’d pick 6 fics of mine written during this year, grab a favorite quote from each of them, give a short explanation of why it’s one of my favorites, and then tag 6 people to do the same! Let’s get some self love rolling as we head towards the end of this year!

(that much was cp’d) 

@makapedia @sojustifiable @professor-maka @kg1507 @lucyrne @fabulousanima lets do this friens 

I dont even know if I wrote enough to qualify for 6 fics 

anyhow, let’s do dis 

1. Bloom

When Soul returned home, back to the backdrop of empty pizza boxes, crushed soda cans, and strewn cushions, he supposed he, too, followed a routine. He’d greet Blackstar, who was no doubt sprawled across their dingy couch, in the process of mangling another controller for the sake of the FPS gods. When asked, he’d mechanically reply his work was good, consider mentioning the nameless girl from his work, only to not bother -- and then he’d lock himself in his room, stare at his mirror, and think about how he’d greet her. Nonchalant? Observant? Maybe he could recommend some of the newer jazz records they’d gotten in stock. Would that be weird? Too thoughtful? Too creepy?

All he knew was that the occasional time her green eyes would lock onto his, his throat would dry. Then it was too late -- she’d blink, Soul swore her lips would pull up ever-so-slightly, and then she’d whisk away, merely a finger-length away from his grasp.

And after all that, after his dinner, shower, and an hour or so with just him and his guitar, he’d lie awake on his bed, thinking. Music, mostly, but her, occasionally.

Her green eyes. Varied taste in music. Flowy skirts. Sun-warming smile.

I’ll talk to her tomorrow.

I’ll definitely talk to her tomorrow.

Bloom was just -- different. Super fun! a nice break from the heavier stuff I usually write. It’s light and fluffy and has just a small twinge of angst. I think it’s a refreshing piece from me. 

2. In perpetuity

The blonde turned. She seemed to think for a brief second, before her hand grasped the handle. “It’s a nice thought. But I wasn’t lying earlier. There isn’t anything left for me up there.” Liz sighed. “Besides. I have to get Kid out, too. There won’t be a lot of time in between when Ryan notices and they come. Also--” she took a small breath. “-- Patti’s here.”

The silence that followed was tense, strung back like a bow. “You’re pulling a fucking heroic sacrifice?” Soul finally said, bewildered.

Liz’s smile only grew larger, one of the saddest smiles Maka had ever seen.

“That’s not like you at all,” Soul continued quietly.

“So is me not being scared,” Liz said. “But you know what’s funny? I’m fucking terrified.” And before either could say anything, she pulled the lever. Loud buzzes overtook their ears, red flashing lights around them. Soul scrambled forward, as if he were about to reach out, but Liz only held up a hand, a vaguely wavering smile persistent on her face.

I like the tone, the action-survival but how it’s wreathed in this overwhelming helplessness, up until the very end. My comfort zone for fic haha 

3. Fleeting

In truth, he loved it. He loved unlocking those senses he didn’t even know he had, he loved being able to hear everything, from the rustling of the tiniest pines to the ruffling of the smallest wings. He loved the animalistic traits that unlocked upon transforming; he loved the simple pleasure of a cool lake to lap, of the winds blowing through his furs.

my first midlink in a while and i freaking love it ok 

4.  Undo

He’d finished mourning the day he put her name on the memorial and had walked away, but he knew he’d remember her, and hell maybe everyone else would but they didn’t know her. They don’t know her the way he does and they don’t know her smile and her touch, didn’t know how she lead her missions with an iron fist but would love her entire crew dearly. Didn’t know how she was ticklish around her waist (and that would make him blush), didn’t know she was clumsy on her feet when it was anything but a charge and didn’t know that her hands were unbearably soft, even by human standards. They didn’t know her insecurity with her biotics nor her new fear of needles, didn’t know the way silent tears would stream down her face when she slept. They didn’t know her, they didn’t know her, and they wouldn’t know her; they never cared and they never listened and they didn’t come back for her and they -- didn’t -- deserve her!

This was just something i needed to write -- catharsis. some angst if a bioware protag died, i went with garrus bc it actually happens in canon (SPOILER ALART)

5. On the flipside

“Mia,” Sol acknowledged. She’d long ignored the rather indignant gasps at her direct address that came from the otherwise invisible servants that loitered in the throne room. “Something for you.”

“Oh thank you, peach – those were my favourite from your stock today, how did you know? Also, Brother, just try calling me spoilt again. I dare you.”

this was just so much fun to write. Queen Mia and Disgruntled Cullen and Fuck This Sol is just good times

unfortunately the rest are drabbles lol
