What about Jack and Alfred's relationship? Also, I really like your account :D

OKAY BUT LIKE; Jack was obviously born after Alfred had left. He was William's rebound kid like "oh well! Guess that one didn't work out might as well have another!" but like, a lot more bitter than I can sound through text. Y'know and then Will proceeded to not raise said rebound kid.

That's where Jack's resentment to Alfred starts. Because 'I only exist cause he isn't here'; then there is the William constantly praising Alfred despite acting like he hates him. So then poor Jack is even more confused because??? Do you want me to be nothing like him, or do you want me to be just like him??? or?????

Meanwhile; on the other side of the ocean Alfred is only vaguely aware of Jack's existence, like they don't have a relationship and any semblance of something Jack thinks is a relationship is one-sided on his part.

anyway, their relationship finally starts when Alfred sends Jack (who's probably like 8 btp) a Christmas present. Like out of nowhere, and Matt or Dylan or idk who is like "You need to send him a thank you letter". Jack proceeds to take two months to write this thing because friends, I've never spoken to him before. But eventually its sent. and Alfred decides instead of just letting it be? to send one back? and for like a solid year all of these letters are just 'thank you' 'it's not problem' 'well you took the time to send it' 'it really didn't take that much of an effort I'm just happy you like it' cause neither of them know what to say to each other?????

it takes awhile but eventually they get to other topics, just random things here and there. The letters are consistent but they are something; Jack goes from not liking/being indifferent about Al, to idk, thinking he's pretty cool? Like? He told dad to fuck off and got away with it??? what???? Alfred starts to think Jack is pretty cool too, like bro this kid is possibly the most metal ten yr old known to man?? And he gives dear ol' dad 2.3 heart attacks a day, which is super funny to Al. All good things must come to an end though, and at some point the letter pitter out. I'm thinking like sometime during the Spanish-American war, cause Al came out a super power and in a dick move promptly forgot about little old Jack. It was a two sided thing though, Jack became self-governing and Lord Father wasn't happy about it and basically kicked him out at the age of 13-ish; so he had bigger things to worry about.

Alfred showed back up during WW1 but not really long enough for them to do anything but acknowledge each other before Alfred was back to being an introvert.

WW2 rolls around, the US joins the war and Alfred shows up (begrudgingly) to help Jack and Liam, who are in my hc about 16 and 12. England was very worried about them. Now, Jack is angry about stuff, and he's so worried about keeping Liam safe, and I haven't talked to Mattie or dad or uncle Dylan or Uncle Angus in weeks are they okay???? So despite the fact that for at the very least a few months they're together 24/7 they don't really bond; Jack is stuck between "I need to protect Liam" and "I don't know what I'm doing, I can't protect myself much less someone else" that he just ends up being mad and stubborn while Alfred who's instincts have already added these two children to his Protect At All Costs list is just confused because??? I'm just trying to keep you two safe why do you hate me???

eventually the war ends (thank god); now Liam during the war just added Alfred to his list of People To Cling To Randomly. Alfred was at the bottom of the list albeit, but he was on it. Jack however just got wary of Alfred. He was trustworthy sure, but, this whole thing was technically his first impression of Alfred. and in the middle of a war is not the best time to get a first impression.

by the time the mid-fifties rolled around Alfred in-between stare offs with Ivan decided it was time to actually spend time with his younger two siblings. and this my friends, is when Alfred and Jack finally became the crackhead duo they are; it's not perfect it's really not. But they do get along pretty well, they get in the stupidest arguments like how to make the best pb&j or who Matthieu likes more. Jack rambles about animals for 45 min straight while Alfred listens intently then Alfred rambles about space for 45 min straight while Jack listens intently. It's the only time either of them can sit still that long. combined they give dear ol' dad 4.6 heart attacks a day. There will always be the age gap obviously, and there'll always be the over-arching problem of William and his favoritism. but idk, I think they'll be ok.

[tobyislame]

some ticci toby headcanons

consider this a headcanon salad cus these were all randomly thrown together as they came to me

- fragile masculinity up to the NINES with this one

- totally an ice eater what a sicko

- he's double jointed in so many places. also freakishly flexible. likes to freak people out by popping his joints in and out of place lmao

- has the crackiest bones ever. you think you hear sticks breaking in the woods its just toby's crack ass ankles

- weed partaker but stays the freak away from the bottle cus yk he doesn't want to find out if that "like father like son" stuff is true

- plays guitar and makes up shitty 1 minute sad guy with a guitar songs. fingerstyle typa guy

- plays ONLY FOR HIMSELF and gets embarrassed but tries to act like he's not if someone walks in on him. like he'll just hastily stop n scramble to put away his guitar n act all cool like he totally wasn't playing guitar just now and go "whaddyouwant"

- definitely sneaks into concerts and shows. it's easy for him to blend in there. gets suuuper fucking beat up in the pit cus yk he doesn't realize how battered up he's getting in the moment until he gets a glimpse of himself and is like oh hell my lip's busted and my nose is in a different place than it was before

- think he'd have an owen wilson nose on account of how much he's broken it

- also one of his canines is missing

- just a SUUUPER accident prone guy. has no sense of self preservation. like ZERO (cus he was never really taught how to manage his cipa) (well he was yk before The Incident but he doesn't remember much of it)

- has sun spots cus he's outside all day all the time. also tonsss of freckles and moles

- burns his playlists onto cds

- he'd like every music genre but in particular i think he'd listen to late 90s/early 2000s teenage boy music. also 80s music. specifically new wave stuff

- knows a lil bit of asl for his verbal shutdowns

- also i hc him as audhd

- along with his stutter (which i don't consider to be related to his tourettes) he also just has a speech impediment. like sometimes his r's or l's come out as w's and he has trouble pronouncing certain sounds or words and just says them wrong and people correct him consistently he just doesn't really listen or care to correct himself

- not too good at spelling or any of that grammar stuff

- i really want to stress that he's NOT stupid. he hate hate hates how people patronize him and make him out to be some sort of incapable dunce. it makes him feel small and he hates feeling small. he's smart, he's just not good at communicating it. no matter what he tries his words just come out wrong. "i'm lots smarter in my head" is what he'd probably say

- always has a fidget spinner/cube on him

- he kinda just vomits when he gets overwhelmed. like when he has to ride in a car he leans his head out the window like a dog the whole way, partly just cus he likes it and it's fun to play airplane with his hand in the wind but also cus he could spew his guts at any moment

- collects spider-man comics and cool rocks. also unironically looks up to spider-man cus he always gets back up despite all the shit he gets put through. he feels like he could learn from that. he thinks it makes him seem like a kid though which is something he really wants to prove that he's not so he keeps it to himself

- super gross oh my god he's so gross. like doesn't wash his body in the shower cus "the water will get it" picks his nose and eats it kind of gross. will also get all obnoxious and in your face about it if you rightfully tell him he's a sick fuck for that

- honestly that'd be his response every time someone criticizes him

- like you could be like "you fuckin reek" n he'd be like "oh yea?" and grapple you into a headlock with his armpit shoved in your face

- his speech pattern is a little funky. like his sentences just come out like they were sorta haphazardly put together. he doesn't make much sense a lot of the time

- i wanna say he's endearingly dorky but he's just fucking weird. like he probably flirts in a napoleon dynamite-esque fashion. he has a vague idea of what flirting is he just doesn't quite got it but hey he's got the spirit

- he really just has a vague idea of what conversation is in general. he just doesn't have that good of a grasp on how people talk to each other. he feels a major glaring disconnect between himself and every other human in the world and it just makes him feel even smaller

- a lost fucking puppy when it comes to talking to women. just completely and utterly helpless. he stutters a lot more he trips over his words a lot more which just makes him red it's brutal to watch

- my voiceclaim for him is whoever voices bumblebee before he loses his voice box in the michael bay transformers movies (just looked it up it's stiles fucking stilinski)

- his voice cracks all the time ESPECIALLY when he raises his voice. he gets red and embarrassed every time it does and he really badly tries to hide it which just makes it even funnier to everyone else poor guy

- wants so badly to be perceived as a big intimidating muscle man but he just isn't no matter how hard he tries

For the fandom trash questions, 13 and 14?

Hello very belatedly!!

13. What is your heart-breakingist head canon?

Part of the reason the Jin Sect was willing to hand Jin Ling over was that he basically became a sickly nightmare baby after the deaths of both of his parents. Losing both parents is potentially hugely traumatic, and Jin Ling went from a fat cheerful baby to an anxious baby losing weight in response, and one of the only adults who could carry him around without him howling uncontrollably was Jiang Cheng. (The other was his wet nurse, who was either a woman from the Yunmeng region or a woman from the Yu sect—either way, a woman who was there to be Jiang Yanli's support in the Jin sect. Given how many YMJ sect members and servants got massacred, probably the latter, especially since Madame Jin could have had her brought in—which would introduce different complications, of course.) Should have let xiao-shushu hold the baby (at least in CQL-verse), Jin Sect!

Faced with the decision between "potentially dead baby" and "baby temporarily living over there and extending our political influence," the Jin Sect picked the second option, and Jiang Cheng basically strapped Jin Ling to him and got back to work (unless the wet nurse had him). Frankly, this also helped keep Jiang Cheng alive, and is part of the reason those two are so tightly bonded to each other despite Jiang Cheng's whole deal.

If you want other sad headcanons, I also answered this here! And Jiang Cheng's crying room probably also qualifies.

14. What is ur crackiest crack ship?

Tied between ningcheng and zhancheng (usually as a precursor to zhanchengxian). Also now two of my main ships because I incepted myself into both of them.

OH WAIT, ALSO UNCLE4UNCLE (rencheng, Lan Qiren/Jiang Cheng). So far, I'm still kidding about this one (mostly) but if you make a good case, I'm willing to be persuaded!

Please forgive me for this I'm fucking delusional don't look at me-

Okay yeah Prince D and Guy Diamond. Crackiest of crack ships but I'm lowkey obsessed with them. My only explanation for how they meet is D notices Tiny Diamond's exceptional hip-hop music and meets Guy through him. D can't help but think that Guy is cute and starts hitting on him and Guy just trips head over heels for the Funk Prince.

Tiny, in the other hand, is upset. How dare this Funk loser come in and steal his dad. The AUDACITY. The INJUSTICE. The sheer GALL. Tiny has officially declared war on this link giraffe looking mf you wanna go to war let's go to fawkin wAR-

(Tiny warms up to him eventually)

I'm so sorry for this please ignore me and my insanity-

#dreamworks trolls #trolls world tour #trolls prince d #trolls guy diamond #trolls tiny diamond #what do i even call this ship??? #glitterbeats???? #prince d/guy diamond #another example of my impeccable ability to take two characters who have never once interacted and become obessed with them #what is wrong with me #i need to see a doctor #myart #traditional art

WIP Wednesday - mushy edition

When I sat down to write out the things I wanted to *manifest* at the beginning of 2023, top of my list was an artistic community. I was halfway through my masters program and I had hoped that I'd find like-minded artists there, but my cohort was full of people who valued aesthetics over ideas, plus one guy who believed that to be able to call yourself an artist, you had to be able to draw technically well. (Totally valid positions to hold, but I was literally making websites and calling it art and having no one to talk to about it.)

Anyway, flash forward to June when I was in a deep deep depression and about to graduate having barely started my job hunt. I turned to the Simon Snow books for comfort, and then turned to tumblr for more. I'd never written fanfiction before and had barely read any. At first I was just reblogging memes, but then I started to find myself reading canon-compliant fic, and then AUs, and increasingly seeking out the crackiest fic I could find, because it's all so damn good in this fandom. I was also in awe of how kind and close-knit the community is - I've been on the internet for over 20 years, and I don't think I've ever seen anything else like it.

I signed up for @carryon-reverse-bang bc I wanted to get more involved & get to know people more. I gotta say I was intimidated when I realized I was paired with Ashton! Getting to bounce my ideas off her and Pati (beta extraordinaire) was honestly the creative collaboration I've been craving for so long. It's been so wild to make up this silly story about these characters who live in my head 24/7 and hear back from one of them, "oh, he would totally do that!"

Flash back, I guess, to this fall. I did get a job, I've been working as an art teacher since September. This is my first teaching job and it's been a lot, but as the months go by, I do feel like it's the "more meaningful" career I was seeking. Because in my best moments, when the kids are totally engaged in making something, I feel with total conviction:

Making things with other humans is the most sacred thing in the world.

Thanks for the tags today @alexalexinii, @cutestkilla & @nightimedreamersworld. I'm mostly at the final edits stage of The Tower Room, and I'm reluctant to share much from the last chapter, but here's something that should be fun out of context:

He smirks at me like he's figured out all my secrets.

Hiya Cyro! Ooo for the ship ask game how about…Jack x Yami and maybe Grey x Zora? I was trying to think of the crackiest ships I could and these were the first ones to pop into my head 😆!

send in ships to get these classifications

hey there lyra! ooooo those are interesting ships, thanks! 😆

Yamijack:

makes sense... in a way, yami and jack are close enough friends, and you can tell they're each other's most closest captain, and they have good chemistry in general, so I see it.

comples me... sure? I don't vibe with most yami ships cause I can't see him being in a relationship, but yamijack has a fun charm, in a two-homies-being-affectionate-in-their-own-language sorta way, and there are some good fics for them!

Grey x Zora:

doesn't make sense... I have to think of this one hard, but they have never interacted with each other in canon and they don't have a lot of things in common - it's not impossible, once both work more on their bonds with the squad.

doesn't compel me... I've got cracky ships amongst the squad that interest me, but grey x zora isn't one of them - not with zora being a lone wolf and grey being a nervous wreck 😅

I just had... the crackiest ship pop into my head out of NOWHERE and felt the need to inflict it onto you.

Granta/Reborn(khr).

Those who troll together stay together! Though in this case I feel like both of them fall in love at least half because of the psychic damage it inflicts on everyone around them.

Cherry Wine: On Female Anger

First of all, if you haven’t read it here’s the rundown:

Seraphine is pursuing her own solo music career after the events of the ALL OUT K/DA tour, and has signed with Dynasty Records, but plateaus until her current manager is replaced with one Renata Glasc. With a reputation for burning out as many stars as she raises up, and with Seraphine’s subtle temper rising to the fore, the pair butt heads repeatedly before finding a mutual respect, and eventual romance.

If you’re into the K/DA-verse and want some Sugar Baby x Older Woman fic, this one might be for you, and as of today it is completed: Fic Link Here.

Now on to the retrospective. Some spoilers ahead.

It’s always kind of melancholy when I finish a longform fic and this one was literally novel-length. Renata/Seraphine is probably my crackiest crack ship, too, and it’s one that I literally created the tag for in AO3, so that’s another layer of feelings. With that said, Cherry Wine has been so much fun to write, and I can’t thank @moonwatcher13 enough for their own interest in it.

When I started writing Renata and Seraphine over in my Lightcannon series, Flashbangs & Frag Grenades, I hadn’t intended to spark a romance between the two, but the instant those two got on the page together, there was chemistry.

I realized that the ultimate core of both Seraphine and Renata, at least how I write them, is female anger. It’s a subject that’s almost taboo the world over. Women either aren’t allowed to be angry, or otherwise female anger is viewed with contempt or patronization. When I started writing Seraphine and Renata, I realized that these two characters were just...angry, They were so angry.

Seraphine was angry about inequality and the fact that hatred seems so much stronger than joy when it ought to be the other way around. Renata is just as angry about many of the same things, but that anger is tempered by her age. It’s turned cold and dark and bitter. Putting these two in the same room together was like a flashpoint for them both, where Seraphine’s bright fury reignited the cold embers of Renata’s heart, while Renata’s colder rage tempered Seraphine’s impulsiveness.

I saw so much of these two in each other, and it was really inspiring in terms of writing. Seraphine is often angry in Cherry Wine, but that anger isn’t necessarily destructive or irrational, and it feels like a lot of writers and even published authors sort of flounder when it comes to writing that. That’s what has felt so meaningful--if I had to choose a word--about writing Cherry Wine.

It feels like something that has something to say, and that appeals to me.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts on the story now that it’s finally come to a close. I always have a lot of thoughts on my stories by the end, and I wanted to share some of them with you in a retrospective. Thank you for listening and reading, and as always,

Cheers.

V has so many voices in their head

venom keeps trying to eat the relic shard but V says No bc johnny (it also tastes bad)

V’s brain is the most fucked up thing vic has ever seen. relic keeps trying to rewrite V’s brain but venom builds the pathways back up just as quickly. who needs cyberware when you have tentacles a symbiote

johnny is a bit too nonchalant about the whole eating-heads-thing

they’re night city’s greatest nightmare. there’s not one single brain cell between them

Fandom trash askssss

1, 4, 12, 13, 14

1) name ur politically correct ship that no one ever questions

Probably Xiyao? Then again, Xiyao antis do exist, so perhaphs I'm incorrect in selecting it. Then again, I care very little for ships that do not involve JGY which means all the ships I ship are controversial in some manner.

 4) who is your cinnamon roll fave who everyone loves

Lan Xichen, no question about it. I have seen anti LXC posts, but they're absolutely ludicrous and talk nothing but nonsense. He's just so easy to love. Delightful character.

12) what is your cutest headcanon

Xiyao shared a bed whilst they were in hiding from the Wens, LXC taught MY swordmanship, MY was further taught cultivation by WRH personally and LXC did the housework to help MY whilst he was at work. I know you asked for my cutest, but I couldn't choose which was best 🤭

13) what is your heart-breakingist head canon

Hehehe. I had to think for a while about this one because I have a variety of Dead Dove thoughts to plague JGY's life with, but my personal favorite is that MY did not leave the brothel entirely unscathed: neither did non of the patrons fail to notice how he'd made a habit of hiding in his mother's wardrobe. Meng Yao knew well enough about his mother's job to conceal the signs. She dies thinking she protected her son.

14) what is ur crackiest crack ship

Hmmm probably NMJ x JZX? Inspired by non other than you, of course. But I've recently taken a fancy to WLJ x MY

Happy five years of fic posting to me! 🎉

No but seriously, where have five years gone? They've shot by in a flash.*

*That was a pun. Hope you're proud of me.

On 21st Dec, 2017, I posted The Centre Cannot Hold, a neurodivergent Ray Palmer fic. (After a conversation with @habibialkaysani when she encouraged me to write what I wanted to read. It's all her fault!)

So here's a self-made fic meme to celebrate...

Soph’s Fic Meme

My favourite of my fics is... the rarely-read ColdWave neighbourfic, Mending Wall. There's a cute kid, lots of feels, and far more rambly plot than I was expecting when I started.

My fluffiest fic is... maybe the ColdFlash coffee shop meet-cute Better Latte Than Never - but the sequels are an angst fest (sorry, @blueelvewithwings!). Or there's this coldwestallen ficlet about pillows. (Literally) as fluffy as I get. It will never happen again.

My funniest fic is... the Retired Rogues series. In which retirement is not going so well for our ColdWave, till Mick takes things into his own hands. (I can't do funny, so I'm quite proud of these. I'm also quite proud to have been accused of Problematic Fic, for Mick plotting behind his partner's back. Sure, that's the most problematic thing about... ColdWave. 😁)

My saddest fic is... Rebuild, from deep in the depths of my angst-writing days. But it was hard to choose, for there are too many.

A fic I almost didn't post is... The Way Out (Mick Rory and self harm - read the content warnings). Write what you need to write, kids, even if involves stigma or you get ableism for it. Someone will be glad you did. Someone might be you.

The fic I had most fun writing is... Stealing Time & Saving Time. In which Len can't deal with his new powers and the boys can't deal with each other... until Iris steps in and bashes their heads together. (Can't have ColdWestAllen without the traditional Iris head-bashing.)

My favourite ship to write is... ColdWave. Still. Always. Gehenna is the ColdWave headcanon that I will be still talking about in the nursing home when I'm 90. The nurses will ask, of the roguish criminals they think I might have made up, "Did you know them when you were young, love?" and I will smile and nod.

My favourite femslash ship to write is... NewsHacker. They are perfect. The Mystery was fun to write. Zamaya are another fave.

My favourite OT3 to write is... You're expecting ColdWestAllen, aren't you? And you'd be right. But I have a soft spot for Rogue Canary too.

My favourite non-romantic pairing to write is... Len and Lisa. Love a sibling relationship that complicated. Many headcanons.

My favourite character to write is... Mick Rory. Still. Always. (You can tell because I've written 45 fics with him in.) Here's one.

My favourite neurodiversity fic is... Runs in the Family, with ADHD speedsters. I loved writing my ND Legends fics (like Meds) too.

The fic I remember writing most clearly is... Words. Inspired by a prompt/thought from @stungunmilly2 about autistic Mick, who struggles with spoken words but can't stop writing them. And then I couldn't stop writing it for three days. Writer!Mick is a mood.

My favourite 'written out of spite' fic is... Still Queer (Captain Canary)

My most-read fic is Can't Take That Away From Me (ColdFlash). I'm pretty happy to see it in first position, on balance. It was fun to write. (And I'm really sorry about still leaving the sequel unfinished)

My least-read fic is (Getting Past the) Pride and Prejudice - pt 2 of a NewsHacker series that is admittedly not very good, but still - Iris/Zari, okay?

The WIP I most regret not finishing is... Take The Keys (And Drive Forever). Lisa Snart-centric, would have been KillerGold if I'd got far enough with the Caitlin part, and it was going to be spooky.

My favourite gen fic is... Remember. Zari Tomaz's last moments in the timeline.

My crackiest fic is... (Here's To The) Tears and Beers and Wasted Years. ColdWestAllenWave with comedy therapy and time travel and being trapped and phobias and evil doppelgangers and flashbacks and future kids and feels. You're welcome.

And finally... it's Winter Solstice. Have an (old) Christmas fic. It's a (mostly) cute folk tale AU. A Single Matchstick to Light a Fire.

Ask me a fic question! Or say something fic-related! If you want to!

And while I'm at it... I'm going to forget someone here (sorry) - @ing a few beta readers, writing partners, prompters and cheerleaders I'm grateful for - and a few writers whose wonderful fic has kept the muse alive. Tagging you to do the fic meme if you want to: @achangeinpriorities @blueelvewithwings @areyouscarletcold @habibialkaysani @purpleyin @joanthangroff @sproutwings @stungunmilly2 @nixie-deangel @dubiousculturalartifact @peppersandcats @jewishgarygreen @siricerasi @kleptoandpyro @tigstripe @stillnotginger10 @wonderingtheblue @stillthewordgirl @coldflasher @bold-sartorial-statement @callonielb @ginger-canary @kitkatt0430 @eaion @kattahj @robininthelabyrinth @rochc93 @unwittingcatalyst

I don’t know if I’ll write anything else for the fandom now, but you never know what 2023 might bring. But if not, then thanks for an awesome five years. It's been... Oh, think of a Flash pun. Pretend I made it.*

*This is a Buffy reference. You do not have to be proud of me.

I will leave you with my favourite inspirational quote from the Flash (CW TV series, 2014-2023):

"Rule number one of having a secret identity is not taking pictures of yourself in your super suit without a mask on."

- Barry Allen

For the ao3 wrapped, 16 and/or 28 please! 💕

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?

“Romance”! Followed right up my “smut”!

28. Favorite work you write this year?

I’ve decided this question is impossible to answer because I had such a wonderful time writing all of them. So I’m giving you my top nine favorites in no particular order!

“Two Girls Walk Into a Bar And—” I had and have zero interest in Paige except as a monkey wrench for future Hellcheer fics. This is my first of many to come.

“Of Coffeeshops and Westerns” I’ve been wanting to write Wayne/Karen Wheeler since I decided I didn’t care for Wayne/Susan Mayfield and was apathetic about Wayne/Claudia Henderson. This scratched my brain the right way.

“Your Future Ghost” This was and is such a challenge, because I genuinely hate Jason. So creating an iteration of the character that is sympathetic and whom I can connect with has been incredibly rewarding. Thank Aicosu for making me stretch my writing muscles!

“Wrong Side of the Tracks” I LOVE flipping tropes on their heads and envisioning a Wayne that doesn’t like Chrissy immediately is one of those really rewarding challenges.

“Don’t Read the Last Page” This was meant to be a oneshot! And now it’s a goddamn season 4 redo! AUGH! But envisioning Eddie and Chrissy as in love but both in respective mental places on their relationship is so interesting to write.

“Papa Don’t Preach” You all know I love babies ever after and pregnancy AU’s. This was just an inevitability for Barbgrove.

“Defy Not the Heart” I get to be purple prosey and sweepingly ridiculous in this one. I LOVE trashy bodice rippers and getting to write one for Barbgrove has been a dream come true.

“Double Babysitter” I got into Bluey like the rest of the people of my generaltion who had bad childhoods and this episode was pure Hellcheer. It’s one of my crackiest fics, but so fun!

“But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on, and I have taken my glasses off” The entire Rose-colored boy ‘verse is just so satisfying to write. I love envisioning Kali and Steve, two characters who desperately want families, getting to create one for themselves.

A03 wrap up

You know what's funny? That Mrs. Ong is only known as, well, Mrs. Ong. Meanwhile, her son Viktor shares the same surname as well.

You see, unlike in western culture, Chinese women keep their maiden name when marrying. However, their children will inherit their father's name. This means that Mrs. Ong and Viktor shouldn't technically share the same surname.

This has several (hc) explanations if we try to analyze it:

Nothing crazy, she and her husband just happen to have the same surname.

It could be that Mrs. Ong is just the convenient way that people refer her with. She's just borrowing her husband's surname in unofficial situations. She still has her own surname, but is just using her husband's

Kinda cracky, but not too crazy, but she may be part of the two-headed marriage wherein one child inherits the father's surname while the other inherits the mother's. So she and Viktor shares the Ong surname, but Viktor's sibling(s) don't.

This is by far the crackiest but what if Mrs. Ong abandoned her family surname for whatever reason and decided to adopt her husband's. This sounds like a sinetron plot 😂

...and I'm taking that forth theory to explain why Mrs. Ong is an Ong in my Ong Lai fic. I love stupid ideas okay, especially if they're needlessly dramatic 😌

Your favorite questions for your favorite character? (for the character ask game)

anon you've given me the green light to dump my crackiest headcanon about finrod yet

A childhood headcanon

The reason Finrod was released from Mandos so quick is because he uh. Died already. Multiple times

Look, death wasn't a thing unheard of in Valinor, alright? Someone would fall from the tree. Someone would drown. Someone would overwork themselves and choke on carbon monoxide while in forge. It wasn't common, but it wasn't unheard of.

But Finrod, he, uh. Did that for scientific purposes.

To clarify he'd be a human equivalent of, say... 12? 13? so he'd be pretty reckless and hot-headed? One day he just wanted to know if he can jump from that very high and dangerous cliff into the water. Turned out he couldn't, not really

Namo's reaction was "sorry you're like thousand years too early". He gave him a cookie and sent back.

... Finrod showed up again after 2 months (in his defence, it was a very nice cookie...)

#sorry for the messy wording i was simply spinning this in my head for few months now #angrod and aegnor helped him at some point (pushed him off the cliff) because finrod promised to bring more cookies #to clarify this is crack #also that opens another headcanon which is that finrod grows a beard after his ressurection #tw death #noldo answers

The crackiest of my ships this week: Feyre x Lady of Autumn. Enjoy! @sjmromanceweek

When Feyre wants to catch up with her friend Lucien, he brings his mom: Aurelia

It was ten past twelve as Feyre waited for Lucien to arrive at the restaurant. He was only ten minutes late, which was alright but still, Feyre was nervous. Not that she had a particular reason to be nervous, it was just the first time they would meet since Feyre was back in town and since she was back, Feyre was restless. She had missed her friend in the past year she had spent abroad and she was happy to see him again. 

When she heard the restaurant doors open, Feyre spotted the familiar red hair of Lucien. Only that he wasn't alone, but a woman with hair in the same shade his hair was with him and had her arm linked with his. When Lucien had spotted her, he raised his hand in greeting and walked over. His companion let go of his arm when Feyre stood up and hugged him. "It's so nice to see you!" Feyre said. 

Lucien smiled at her "I'm glad to see you! You look well."

"I feel well!" Feyre said and they both chuckled, then Lucien turned to the woman and put a hand on her shoulder. "Plans changed today, I brought my mother. I hope you don't mind." 

"Of course not." Feyre said, extending her hand towards Lucien's mother. "It's so nice to meet you, Mrs Vanserra." 

"Call me Aurelia, darling." she said as she shook Feyre's hand. 

"I heard about your husband's passing, I'm so sorry." Feyre said, then looked to Lucien. "For both of you." It was almost a year ago but due to Feyre not being in the country, she couldn't talk to Lucien personally about it. She met Beron Vanserra a few times and she hated the man, she wasn't particularly sorry to hear about his death but she felt sorry for Lucien's family about how suddenly it happened. 

Lucien only dipped his head and Aurelia said "Thank you." as they all sat down. 

A waiter soon showed up at their table and they ordered drinks. As they looked at the menu, Lucien received a message and cursed at his phone. Feyre raised a brow when he pocketed it and looked at her apologetically. 

"I have to go." Lucien stood up. "Tamlin needs me, now." Feyre rolled her eyes when he spoke that name but Lucien didn't see it as he stared at his mother. "Um-"

"I can get a Taxi, don't worry. Go." Aurelia said. 

"Or I can drive her." Feyre smiled at Aurelia. "If you'd want that. I'll drive past your neighborhood anyway." 

She smiled. "If that's really alright with you."

"Of course." Feyre waved. 

"I'll see you later." Lucien kissed his mother on the cheek and then turned to Feyre. "Thank you. I promise we'll catch up soon." 

Feyre waved her hand again. "Go save Tammy. Don't let him be a pain in the ass." she grinned up at him and although he rolled his eyes, she could have sworn he blushed when he turned around and left. Feyre chuckled and turned her attention to his mother who smiled "Lucien works a lot." 

"He does." Feyre agreed. She stopped for a moment when the waiter came to bring them their drinks and take their order. Then Feyre added "He's working day and night."

"He does." Aurelia sighed. "What is your job, Feyre? If you don't mind me asking. Lucien told me you just spent a year in the north?" 

"I did!" Feyre said. "After college I started working in a gallery about five years ago. I sold a few of my own paintings at that time and a year ago I got lucky and through an art show I got the opportunity to spend a year traveling through the north and putting my art on display in different art shows and exhibitions. The last three months I spent in a city called Velaris and the artists quarter was beautiful! They called it the Rainbow of Velaris."

"That sounds so exciting! Congratulations!" Aurelia said as she tucked a strand of her curly hair behind her ear. "That's quite an adventure!" 

"It was!" Feyre said. "And I met so many people and made so many connections, my days at the studio are packed now." 

"Maybe you could show me some of your art some time." she said. Feyre took a sip of her drink and then nodded. "Actually, I only have to go to the studio tomorrow around noon to help my boss set up easels and supplies for a private class she's holding. You could come by when I'm done and I can show you some of my paintings there." 

"I'd love that!" Aurelia smiled. "I'm excited." 

When their food came they continued to have an easy conversation. Aurelia mostly spoke about Lucien and some things about her eldest child, Eris, and Feyre in return told her some about her sisters and the friends she made while she was in Velaris and how they still talked everyday. When Feyre parked in front of Aurelia's house, she gave her the address of the gallery and they exchanged phone numbers. 

The next day Feyre was more energized than usual when she entered the gallery and greeted her boss. She also told herself that the reason she didn't wear her usual jeans overall but chose a black dress wasn't because Aurelia would come there today and that she did not want to impress Aurelia. Deep down she knew it was a lie but she ignored it. 

When she was done with the set up for the painting classes, Feyre looked out of the gallery windows. Aurelia already waited, so Feyre hurried to the mirror and opened her ponytail, fixed her hair and went to the door. "Hello, hello. You came!" she said happily as Aurelia pulled her into a hug. "Come in, it's chilly today." 

Aurelia walked past her into the studio and looked around. Feyre's heart beat faster when her eyes stopped on a painting and Feyre realized it was hers. 

"I called it Frost and Starlight." She said when she stopped beside Aurelia who whirled her head to Feyre. "You painted this?" 

"Yes." Feyre said. "I painted that in December, the Night after the first snow fell in Velaris. I got quite attached to it." 

"It's beautiful." Aurelia said. "I'm sorry that I'm surprised, you told me that a few of your paintings were hanging in the gallery-" 

"It's okay." Feyre shrugged. "Honestly, everytime I walk past my paintings I'm still surprised. It feels like a huge accomplishment." 

"It is a huge accomplishment! You should be proud of yourself, Feyre." Aurelia smiled. 

Feyre pointed to the register "I also painted the painting behind the counter. Do you want to see it?" 

They walked over when Aurelia nodded and Feyre showed her the art. They stood so close that her hair fell over Feyre's shoulder when she tilted her head and Feyre could hear the "Wow." she whispered. 

"I called this one Bird of Flame and Lord of Fire." Feyre told her. Aurelia nodded, still staring at the painting. "There was also a third painting but that got sold yesterday. I'm sorry, I was so excited to show you." 

"Sorry? Congrats!" Aurelia said and patted her arm. "Are you going home now?" 

"Yes but I have to buy some groceries before and then get some lunch." Feyre said. 

"Oh, you're making lunch?" she asked. 

"Well, I'll make pizza. I think." 

"You're making your own pizza?" Aurelia asked. 

They walked to the front door of the gallery. "No, I meant frozen pizza but I put it onto the oven myself." 

Aurelia snorted. "Why aren't you cooking? Are you in a rush?" 

Usually, Feyre didn't care if people would judge her for that but she felt embarrassed when she admitted "I can't cook."

"How about I will join you and I'll cook you something nice?" Aurelia said when they walked outside, then she linked her arm with Feyre. 

"I'm sure you have better things to do than to cook for me." Feyre said. 

Aurelia shrugged "My sons are out and I dread coming home to a big, empty house. It feels huge when my kids aren't there." 

"Lucky for you, my apartment is tiny." Feyre grinned and Aurelia chuckled. Then Feyre nodded "Alright it's a date." 

Aurelia's chuckle slowly faded and she looked at Feyre, unsure. "A friend date, I mean." She tried to save it but Aurelia frowned. "Or not?" 

Aurelia sighed and then smiled again. "Let's not call it anything. Let me cook for you and then…"

"Then let's see where it takes us." Feyre added and Aurelia nodded again, happily. "Yes, that sounds perfect." 

"Woosh, here comes the Airplane!" Feyre said, making airplane movements with the fork. "Open!" 

Lucien groaned and slapped the fork out of Feyre's hand. "Stop doing that!" 

"Doing what?" Feyre asked and picked up his spoon. She put a piece of broccoli on it and made vroom vroom when she held it in front of Lucien's mouth. 

"Put the spoon down!" he said, annoyed and muttered something under his breath. 

"Lucien." Feyre said, pinching his cheek. "That's not how you talk to your mom." 

"You're not my mom!" he groaned and rubbed his face. 

"It's okay, you can call me mommy if that's easier for you." she said, grinning. 

"Oh my god." he pressed out. 

"Look how good Eris is eating his broccoli!" Feyre said. "At least try it for mo-" 

"Do not finish that sentence!" Lucien said and stood up. When he left the room, Feyre finally laughed. She tried hard to not laugh when she annoyed him. 

Eris chuckled, "Cruel." he said. 

Feyre giggled. "He loves the joke." she said and ate the last piece of garlic bread. A few moments later Aurelia entered the dining room and hugged Feyre from behind, pressing a kiss on her head. "I wasn't even five minutes gone and you already annoyed poor Lucien?" 

Feyre innocently smiled up at her. "What can I say? Being a stepmother is hard, you little rascals."
