could i request an inosuke x !idiotic reader ficlet? about the same level of stupid as inosuke, i really wanna see how this would play out, your writing is amazing!

What is Love?

♡ Pairing: Inosuke/Reader

♡ Word Count: 800+

♡ Warnings: brief mention of blood; just two idiots trying to understand attraction

❥ A/N: Thanks for requesting! I had fun with this, lmk what you think <;3 I've never wrote a fight scene before so bear with me pls

Having Inosuke run rampant in the Demon Slayer Corps was more than enough…but to have another person exactly like him? That was you.

Whenever you crossed paths, it spelled trouble: chaos and destruction were near. Neither of you could pinpoint when this competition began, but neither of you intended to forfeit either. Even the most mundane tasks served as a way to exercise your power and skills on one another.

During meals, the both of you would scarf down your portions before slamming down your tableware — a signification of who was faster. Instead of earning praise from the others, such poor manners earned a harsh slap on the back of your heads from Aoi. When stretching, there was a constant exchange of glances after each pull of a muscle. Upon seeing the other person show more of their flexibility, it added more fuel to the fire. Eventually, both of you appeared to be more of contortionists than slayers; and the others were even convinced neither of you were human — demons in disguise suited you guys much better. And especially during training, most people would rather relocate miles away than be in the same vicinity while you fought.

Due to your destructive tendencies, battles between the two of you were strictly prohibited within at least a mile of the Butterfly Mansion. Thus, you settled for an area surrounded in lush trees, but with dirt-ground. Each battle began with one challenging the other, claiming they would claim victory this time. And so, the battle commenced.

Due to the high activity, dirt and peebles contaminate the air, but neither of you are phased by the conditions. You're still charging at each other at immense speeds, ricocheting off trees and leaping around to avoid each other's attacks. The sound of swords clanging and grinding against one another blends in with the taunts and screams you exchange. The typical person would have run out of stamina long ago, but both of you are stubborn. Even when you're coughing up blood and staining the dirt in crimson, the only way your battles end is when your bodies refuse to withstand the pain and exhaustion any longer; so, both of you collapse. Luckily, the rest of the Kamaboko Squad will find your unconscious bodies — thank Tanjiro for sniffing out the rust-like smell permeating the air, and Zenitsu for hearing the drop in heart rate.

Once you regain consciousness, you're in the Butterfly Mansion's infirmary, bandaged up and blanketed in the bed's covers. There's snickering beside you, so you turn your head and are now face to face with a boar's head. You roll your eyes, well aware that he'll brag about regaining consciousness first, so you retort that you'll recover quicker. Thus, the both of you bicker over who's superior, desperately bringing up any reason to back up your claim.

After you and Inosuke exhaust all your arguments, the both of you bask in the silence. Typically, one of you dozes off within minutes of staring at the ceiling, but today was different.

The boy beside you addresses you with a "hey" — since he's not quite sure of your name at the moment. If you ignore him, he'll repeat it, increasing the volume and irritation in his voice until you respond.

He asks whether you get this fuzzing feeling inside, kinda like there's a piglet trying to break free from your stomach. And somehow, you understand what he means; asking if it's similar to a stomach ache, to which he agrees. Then he mentions the rush he gets from fighting also happens when he looks at you; so both of you shift your gaze from the ceiling to each other — which ends up short-lived because both of you turn away to conceal the heat rising to your faces. It's quiet for a brief moment before you mumble that you also felt it.

"Monichi and Gonpachiro said it's love."

Perplexed, you suggest he go into further detail. He bluntly mentions how he dreams of you praising him, but instead of you being his minion, he's praising you in return. You stifle a laugh before teasing him.

"Maybe it means we're equals?"

So he ponders the idea in silence. You're unsure of his thoughts because his face is still masked by the boar’s head. The silence is distasteful, causing you feel a nauseating sensation in your stomach; except, it's different from the feelings Inosuke mentioned. It's an unsettling feeling — not a hint of euphoria in it, so you're mentally pleading he responds soon.

When Inosuke begrudgingly agrees, you momentarily feel a sense of relief before those feelings called “love” return. You're unsure of what to say next, but you want to keep the conversation going. So, you blurt out what comes to mind.

"I think I'm in love with you."

"Me too."

Fanfic Self Promo: KnightRook

I decided to make a few self-promo posts on my older fics, starting with the ones centered on KnightRook! All are short one shots or drabbles, but they’re worth a little promo after all this time. They’re in a list of older ones first.

Missing Knight | T, 2.4k words, written 16 Oct 2017 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Speculative fic about Detective Rogers meeting the girl who, unbeknownst to him, is his own daughter.

I wrote this a little after 7x02 aired, before we knew anything more about Killian’s daughter. I was completely off with it, but I’m still quite happy with it.

A Young Tempest | G, 1.3k words, written 20 Oct 2017 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Killian Jones raises his daughter and learns things along with her.

Another speculative fic about Killian’s history with his daughter. Once again, completely off, but it’s one of my favourite stuff I’ve written.

A Song for Goodnight | G, 1.8k words, written 28 Nov 2017 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Alice Jones I sings a lullaby to her son. A long time later, Killian Jones sings the same lullaby to his daughter. Warnings: Canon character death in the past.

I have feels about Killian singing his mother’s lullaby to his daughter. Some of these made it into this fic.

Untitled ficlet of Killian thinking about the white elephant he gave Ella | Tumblr link

A Family by Choice | G, 3.3k words, written 04 Feb 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: The curse is broken, everyone’s memories are back, and Roni with Weaver find a way to remove the poison from Rogers’ heart. But it’s not easy nor perfectly safe, and it might just as well pull that family apart again rather than bring it back together.

This one is a little sad, as usual with me. But again, lots of feels.

The First Rain | G, 590 words, written 25 Mar 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Alice is finally free and gets to explore how being under the rain feels.

This one includes only Alice, but it’s got a lot of focus on KnightRook. (If you thought you’d find happy stuff on my fic, you thought wrong. KnightRook was brimming with angst and I milked the hecc out of it)

Mother’s Day | G, 650 words, written 14 May 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Modern AU. Alice makes something for her papa for Mother's Day.

I felt that Killian deserved a little more love and appreciation for raising such a kind human as Alice all on his own. Father’s day doesn’t get as much appreciation as Mother’s day, especially considering it’s usually after school starts summer break. So I felt that in a modern setting, Alice would choose to celebrate her father and their love for each other on Mother's Day at some point.

Poor Old Man | G, 530 words, written 12 Mar 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: While in the tower, Killian realizes he's growing old. But not alone.

There’s a sea shanty with the same name, but only the title has a reference to the story. I just thought that it would be interesting to see Killian, who’d spent his centuries in Neverland not expecting to survive his revenge mission, realize that he’s not only actually growing old, but that he’s also got someone to love and love him back as he does.

Sad drabble of “What if Killian hadn’t managed to save Alice from being pulled into her worst nightmare in the finale?” Like, really sad. | Tumblr link

Sad Old Hook drabble in direct response to the fic above, because he did end up old and alone. Be sad with me, people. | Tumblr link

Marks | T, 1k words, written 15 June 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Little Alice wonders why she doesn’t have any marks on her back, like her papa does. Warnings: Mentions of past physical abuse of a teenager

If you know me, you know I headcanon Killian having multiple scars on his body, many particularly from the time he was a indentured servant as a kid/teen. Being the only one who Alice sees in her first years, she thinks that she’ll grow to have such marks on her body. This is a bit of a melancholic take on Killian trying to explain it to her.

Untitled ficlet about Old Hook “fusing” with OG Hook, becoming one with him. | Tumblr link

A New Experience | G, 1.3 words, written 19 July 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Killian makes a re-imagining of a storm in the tower for Alice.

Humans have more senses than vision. In this story, Killian does his best to create an experience for Alice by invoking her other senses. (Also nerding out for my music knowledge by adding an ocean drum)

Sad drabble about how Killian seeing his daughter pull away out of fear of hurting him sometimes hurts worse than the curse in his heart. | Tumblr link

Under the Weather | G, 2.2 words, written 12 Nov 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Young Alice gets very ill and Killian tries to help her.

Don’t let my habit for angst worry you, this has a happy ending. The medicine techniques are probably inaccurate, but I wanted to focus on a scenario of Killian trying to heal Alice with the very very limited sources he has.

Remembering Alice | G, 424 words, written 04 Dec 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: After Lucy's birth, Killian can't help feeling sad as he remembers how his daughter is forced to live away from him.

It is what it is. A short angsty thing. Only Killian appears here, but the focus is on KnightRook.

A Merry Little Christmas | G, 1.6 words, written 24 Dec 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: This year, Rogers and Tilly won’t spend Christmas Day on their own.

I don’t participate on Secret Santa and similar events, cause they stress me out over producing a specific kind of content at a specific time. However, all the love people gave to that year's KnightRook Secret Santa inspired me to write a kinda independent contribution, which came out as this. It may not be Christmas yet but the warm, fuzzy feelings are the same!

Untitled ficlet about re-awakened Killian thinking how his true self conflicted with Rogers’ memories and original goals. | Tumblr link

I barely remember writing this one, lol. I think, it may have started as a meta post, then it took a fanfic route on its own. Fics be doing that. I’ll probably post it on AO3 at some point, too.

Outward-Bound | T, 2.5 words, written 20 Mar 2019 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Old, dishevelled, broken-hearted Hook is drowning his sorrows in alcohol, when he happens upon a familiar face, someone he never imagined he’d see again. Warnings: Depiction of alcoholism

Oh, this be sad! Again, only Killian appears, but the KnightRook feels are prominent.

Sad (shocking, I know) drabble about Killian being taken away in the ambulance in 7x20 | Tumblr link

The Dreams That Won’t Come True | G, 2.1k words, written 14 Sep 2019 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: Killian and Alice find a way to be together through their dreams... but it doesn't end up being what they expected.

That made me sad. Almost made me cry when I first wrote it, and I’m very hard to cry.

Bonus Fics!

Untitled ficlet with Robyn and Killian; three moments between them | Tumblr link

Accepting Happiness | G, 1k words, written 26 Nov 2018 | AO3 link | Tumblr link Summary: A little after reuniting with Alice, Killian takes a moment to try and let everything sink in. Hooked Queen, open to your interpretation.

Some introspective thoughts on how Killian and Regina would feel, right after the climactic ending of the finale, the one set before the final scene. Only Killian and Regina appear, but KnightRook is in focus.

Sarah Wilson for the headcanons??👀👀

SARAH WILSON, THE LOML 💛

One thing I came up with for them that turned out to be kinda canon or at least has canon evidence to support it

okay this is a huge stretch. a massive stretch. really pulling canon paper-thin. BUT. BUT. HEAR ME OUT. i headcanoned many moons ago that the wilson family speaks louisiana french. and then, in the finale of tfatws, sam wilson said "au revoir," therefore i concluded my headcanon was #confirmed. I KNOW IT AIN'T MUCH. BUT LOOK. LOOK.

YOU CAN SEE ON THIS MAP HIGHLIGHTING AREAS OF LOUISIANA WHERE FRENCH IS SPOKEN (cajun, creole, and so on, the dialects have many similarities which is why the general term is "louisiana french") THAT DELACROIX FALLS WITHIN IT. therefore i consider my la french headcanon kinda, sorta, barely within the realms of canon, thank you and goodnight.

(i actually wrote a sambucky + la french fic already lmaooo and sarah obv has a starring role in it bc. i mean. i love her. how could i not include her as a crucial part)

One thing I came up with for them that I refuse to change no matter how OOC it may seem

she studied literature!! i will never back down from this!! in an upcoming sarahmay ficlet of mine, may mentions that sarah enjoys postcolonial caribbean lit as well as works from victorian england. also, i don't know why, but in my head i have this idea that sam was a theatre kid (probably me drawing inspiration from mackie's irl stage involvement) while sarah loved lit and pretty much their only common ground in high school was shakespeare, lmao. idk why but that's funny to me 😂

Their government assigned theme song

oh gosh. im so bad at song association sjdsadsks okay uhhhh i've been listening to a lot of clifton chenier lately (and some queen ida, too, but i've only just started going through some of her albums) so for now i'll say Jusque Parce Que Je T'Aime (Only Because I Love You). in another week im sure my answer will change lmfao

Something about them barely explored in canon that I expanded on

tragically, heartbreakingly, we aren't given much about sarah wilson in canon at all T.T (and like. yes i know why. yes i understand she's a secondary character. here's the thing: i don't care. i want m o r e.) and i haven't posted it yet, but in my upcoming sarahmay // sambucky ficlet i explore a) how she interacts with other female characters (bc i think we only thing we got in canon was,, a phone call with karli??) and b) her and sam's relationship!! i don't know if that really counts as "barely explored" bc it was honestly one of the things we did see a fair amount of with her, but again. since she's a secondary character (a CRIME), in general there is less canon content of her, therefore i am including that here

3 characters from another media that helped inspire my shaping of them

n/a, not the way i usually approach media for some reason

Did I permanently remove any unfavorable canon elements from their character/setting

uhhhh i don't think so? tfatws is currently the only mcu canon we have of her, so unfortunately that means there isn't a huge amount of canon to work with. i guess i haven't written any sarahbucky (yet) but like. i don't think the ship is "unfavorable" good lord 💀 they are cuties!! their hesitant lil flirting in ep. 5 was so freaking soft 🥺 im just currently back on my wlw rarepair bullshit with sarahmay, thus sarahbucky is temporarily set aside 😂 anyways: no, i don't think i've removed anything canon from her character/setting as of right now! who knows what the future will hold lolol

#SORRY FOR THE WAY TOO LONG RESPONSE LMAO #ask #lunannex #sarah wilson #tfatws #mcu #marvel cinematic universe

Writer Tag Game

Tagged by: @fanfoolishness (thanks!!!)

Author Name: thesomtimeswarrior (on ao3, where most of my fics live!)

Fandom(s) you write for: Steven Universe, Avatar: the Last Airbender (+Korra sometimes), Harry Potter, Jewish scripture/text (which isn’t really a fandom--and I keep all that stuff on a separate pseud to make a differentiation--but the dynamics of writing are honestly similar), and then a smattering of random other stuff as it strikes my fancy, such as MCU, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hunger Games, Moana, Coco...it goes on.

Where you post: AO3. Sometimes I post links here on tumblr.

Most popular one-shot: Undoubtedly, and by far, that would be an short little ATLA ficlet I wrote back in 2017 called But It Is the Youth that Must Fight and Die. This fic is about Iroh (as most of my ATLA fics are!), contemplating the fact that all of the GAang--the primary combatants in the War are children.

The reason this piece has so many hits and kudos is because I linked to it in a ATLA meta post that I wrote on tumblr, also in 2017, and that post blew up--for me anyway. It has over 50k notes.

Most popular multi-chapter: Tbh, I don’t write a lot of multi-chapter fics. I mainly write one-shots. There was a brief time that I wrote a little for the Danny Phantom fandom--I don’t talk about it, because honestly I don’t like most of the stuff I wrote there--but one of those is a pretty short multi-chapter work. It got a decent amount of positive attention. I’m not gonna link to it, because I feel kinda meh about it, but it’s still on my ao3, and people can look it up if they want.

Favorite story you wrote: Ah, this is a hard thing to answer! And it really changes! I’d say I have favorites fandom-to-fandom, as well. But right now, at this moment, I’m gonna say that the favorite fic that I’ve written is Essences, which I actually wrote for @pearldefiance, as a part of the @fandomtrumpshate charity auction. It’s about “our” Pearl helping Yellow Pearl conceptualize and come to terms with freedom and selfhood shortly after CYM. I worked really hard on this piece--and on editing it--and I’m really gratified with how it came out.

Story you were nervous to post: Frankly, any time I post something I’ve written for another person I get nervous. The aforementioned Essences made me very nervous to post, even if I am very proud of it. Also I get butterflies any time I write something for a new fandom.

Also, I didn’t post it, but I was very nervous (but excited!) to hand in the piece I wrote for the upcoming @hundredsofpearls-zine (pre-orders now open!)

How do you choose your titles? Honestly, this is the greatest mystery. I legit do not even know most of the time.

How many of your stories are complete? All of them. (Currently, that’s 244). I don’t write many multi-chapter pieces, and I post one-shots only once they’re done.

In progress: For once, and in a frankly unusual turn of events, I don’t have anything I am literally currently working on at this moment, but I do have several ideas in my head, which leads me to this next question...

Coming soon:

An SU piece about Garnet using Mindfulness to deal with the anxiety that Future vision must inevitably cause

A Buffy piece about Giles, during the S1 episode Nightmares

A Buffy piece about Spike and Buffy’s relationship (I don’t ship it, but I do find it really interesting to think through)

A few Hunger Games pieces about Jewish characters in the Panem (inspired by this piece, that someone else wrote, called Nistar)

Probably a few more Pearl pieces.

I also just watched Gravity Falls for the first time, so while I don’t have any immediate ideas, I’m sure I’ll come up with some Gruncle Stan Angst at some point soon.

PLUS more pieces as a part of my Double Drabble Challenge, which are months overdue--sorry guys:

(One about Toph and her parents for @elf-kid2.)

(Another one about Zuko and Iroh for an anon!)

Upcoming story you’re most excited to write: All of them! I’m very excited to write more in the Buffy fandom! And it’s been a while since I wrote Hunger Games, so that promises to be fun also.

Do you accept prompts?: Not generally. I do for specific reasons. Charity auctions occasionally, and I am currently for my Double Drabble Challenge!

Top five favorite authors: I also don’t read nearly as much as I write, but some of my favorites, in no particular order:

@attackfish

@mimik-u

@fanfoolishness (I know you tagged me, but you’re one of my favorites too!)

@ink-splotch

@intelligencehavingfun

Tagging: anyone tagged above who wants to participate, plus anyone else who might want to as well! ( @findswoman, you might like this!)

Hi 👋🏻 I truly like your metas they are all so well thought out! Therefore I have a question Do you think show!yen will be a good guardian/adoptive mother for Ciri? And can the Ciri/Yen relationship somehow still exist in your stone-universe? I’m just curious how far ahead you thought about everything

i feel like the metas that wind up looking most put together are the ones i literally pull out of the air LOL. ty though!

i’ma be real with you... i don’t have much faith in this show. which is probably weird coming from someone who has played like, 1 hour of the first game, a few hours of Witcher 3, and skimmed small sections of the books (i’ve played lots of Gwent though????), but it’s true. for some reason, the show seems to like to leave important character moments offscreen, and try to tell us what development happened. i don’t have much faith in them showing the recovery from the aftermath at Sodden. i don’t have much faith in them showing us Yen growing out of it.

Anya plays a great petulant teenager, and that’s really all i’ve seen of Yen and all i expect to see of her. i’ll have trouble believing her as anything else, even if suddenly she comes off as a great mother figure, if they fail to actually SHOW the development. *shrug* that being said, i don’t have much hope for a believable mother/daughter relationship for Ciri/Yen in the show.

but like... maybe i should be more positive... because this is totally coming across as me shitting on a show i apparently like at least a little.

(real talk though, i Do Not care for Yen. she could be SO sympathetic if they’d treated her differently. which... is part of why i’m writing “stone”)

to answer the back part of your ask, pretty much everything i write for them now comes from the lens of Stone, or at least something similar. frankly, i don’t think Tissaia and Yen can reconcile their past without recovering from that shared trauma together. i’m not sure Yen would be willing to try, and Tissaia is too much of a closed book. but working through that trauma, allowing Yen to see Tissaia at her weakest and Tissaia to see Yen at her most helpless, and forcing them to suck it up and Deal with the other one being privy to that provides a lot of opening for honesty that i can’t possibly see them sharing otherwise. without that recovery period, Yennefer tells Tissaia “you saved me” and then it’s dropped, never addressed again; they move on with their lives.

so to an extent, even that post-Coup ficlet i wrote takes place in a verse where at least something akin to Stone happened before, and it was definitely intended in that piece that Yennefer was spending some time with Tissaia at Aretuza in between other times gallivanting around with Geralt and Ciri.

which kinda segues into another point, which is that while Yen and Tissaia (will) love each other deeply, eventually there may come a time in the Stone universe where Yen wants something that Tissaia, as an aromantic person, isn’t comfortable or isn’t capable of giving her. i think they are both mature and/or open enough with such things to thrive in a relationship where Yennefer has some of her wants/needs met by Tissaia, and some by Geralt, tbh.

i hope that answers your questions sufficiently? really might have been more info than you wanted xD

1-30 hehehe

Anon you’re a ballsy motherfucker and I love you. BUT you didn’t choose a fic for 24-28, or a word for 29!

What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for? Uh, probably Danny Phantom when I was like twelve 😂

Do you participate in any writing events or challenges throughout the year? If so, what do you like about them? Nope bc this is a small fandom and we don’t do many of those.

Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around? I usually start at the start and then when I get stuck I’ll just skip that part, keep going, and come back to it later. If I have an idea and I’m afraid I’ll forget it, I might also skip ahead and write it.

Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline? I love outlining more that actually writing lmao, the longer the fic the more I outline. I usually stick to it pretty closely, which isn’t aways good for my writing...

What is the perfect environment for you to write in? Quiet and private. Other than that I haven’t figured out the tricks to getting myself to focus :(

If you’re really concentrating, how many words can you write in a day? Occasionally when I’m really inspired I’ll write like 1000, but more often I just write a paragraph or two.

Which part of writing do you struggle with most? Too many ideas, too little actual writing capacity. It’s hard to focus on finishing fics bc I get too distracted by my other ideas, and I rarely write sequels bc there’s so much I haven’t gotten to share yet.

Do you listen to music while you write? If so, share a song that’s been inspiring you lately. Nope, can’t write with music, I get too distracted.

Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic? AUs!!!

Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most? Probably dialogue? Exposition is great bc I get to explain the AU, but It’s not good for the flow of the fic. Dialogue can be really satisfying to write when you get in a groove with it.

If you could only write angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your life, which would it be? Fluff!

Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to? Oh god so many. I have notes on tons of tropes I’d like to write... I’d like to do a college AU (and I meant to do it while I was actually in college but oops). I posted a soulmate AU once but I’d like to do another. Oh and I have lots of ideas for crossover AUs and I’m still deciding how to handle those.

Is there a trope you wouldn’t write if it was the last trope on earth? Honestly probably not. I’m not huge on character death, genderbends, or reader inserts, for example, but I have ideas for fics involving all of those.

If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick? No one from gnr that’s for sure, that’d be a disaster. How about... Percy Jackson and idk Wonder Woman?

A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be? Hmm out of the fics that I’ve posted... maybe Sumthin’ for Nuthin’ actually? I abandoned that poor fic but I still really like the plot. And there’s plenty of longer, more plot-heavy fics I have outlined that would be cool to see as films. In general I often imagine concepts visually instead of with words.

What is your most underrated fic? Saving Grace didn’t get a lot of notes and I get why – it’s kinda niche and there’s no actual romance. But I think it’s well-written and I’m proud of it.

What fic are you most proud of? Maybe the whole cat!slash universe? I don’t think it’s my best writing per se, but I’m still really attached to the concept and it was a pleasant surprise that other people seemed to like it too.

What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene. I’ve always been partial to the paragraph in Sweetness that ends with “Their coffee has long gone cold (and so has Duff’s spine - snakes give him the heebie-jeebies), but Slash’s enthusiasm is sweeter than the Duff’s half-eaten bowl of melted ice cream, and Duff is eating it up with a spoon.” Just... the coffee is cold and so is Duff’s spine, Slash is sweet and so is the ice cream, and using “eating it up with a spoon” idiomatically while it’s also thematically relevant to a sentence about dessert... I really like to layer meaning when I can.

Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why? Slash tends to be the center in most of my writing, but actually I think it’s easier to write from Duff’s pov. Maybe bc when I’m writing sluff I can just channel my crush on Slash through Duff lmao. Interesting tho bc when it comes to the real people, I find Slash much more relatable than Duff or the others.

What’s your favorite minor character you’ve written? Hah maybe Slash in the funeral home AU, it’s a duzzy ficlet so he’s just a side character but I got a kick out of writing his and Steven’s background antics.

What is the one fic that got away? Well, I really wish I’d finished Sumthin’ for Nuthin’ before I kinda lost interest in Motley Crue, that fic was gonna get more dramatic from there. Would it be worth it to just post the outline? Plus there’s a few potential longfic ideas that I’ve put a lot of love into, but I doubt they’ll ever be posted or completed considering the way I can’t seem to focus on one idea long enough to write more than a one-shot :( But hey I guess you never know.

Have you cried while writing a fic? Nope. I do have some angsty ideas though, hopefully they’ll surface someday.

If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it? Someday I’d like to rewrite the cat!Slash fic from the beginning, make it a real multichap or at least a proper series of vignettes. Id also be interesting in a darker version of that AU, since there’s definitely potential for that in the concept. But I’m pretty attached to the fluffy little universe I made, so I’d probably prefer to explore those darker themes in a different (but maybe similar) universe – I have a few ideas.

How did you come up with title for [x fic]? Most of my fics have self-explanatory titles or none at all, the only one I have much to say about is Saving Grace. Duff needed a miracle to get out of his situation, Slash was his saving grace. But also, Grace is the name of Duff’s oldest daughter, and Duff’s motive in the story is trying to “save” her. Despite the double meaning in the title, I avoided referring to the child by name or as Duff’s “daughter”/explaining how they ended up together. I wanted to maintain some of the mystery of the apocalyptic genre: characters with mysterious origins, found families, aliases, etc. That’s definitely one of the ways that Mad Max and DOOM influenced this fic. (Oh, also Serpentine is a dick joke via a wttj reference: “My serpentine.” That’s it tho, the rest are pretty straightforward.)

Which idea came to you first in [x fic]? Feel free to send a fic for any/all of the next few questions! Generally speaking, my ideas are character driven, I want to portray a character or relationship a certain way and I build a world that allows me to do that.

Which part of [x fic] was the hardest to write? Always the end.

If you were ever to do a sequel to [x fic], what do you think might happen in it? Whichever fic you have in mind, there’s a very high chance I have ideas.

In [x fic], what is a happy, post-fic headcanon you have about [pairing]? Same as above!

Send me a word. If it’s in your WIPs, include the sentence and a short summary of the fic. – Send me a word anon!

Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future. Ok, so I have three main longfic ideas, but the easiest one to explain is an AU set in a version of the 1980s where ancient greek deities exist, Axl’s life is parallel to that of Perseus, and Slash is cursed like Medusa. Lots of drama, lots of influence from greek theater, untrustworthy gods, unrequited feelings, dramatic irony... fuck I hope I write it someday.

Alright mad respect for anyone who got through all that! Thanks for the ask, and feel free specify a fic for those last few questions if you wanna

Untitled 5 Am Spones ficlet

Author’s Note: I wrote this at 5 am the other day for @allislaughter who gave this prompt while dealing with Hurricane Irma: “Candlelit breakfast for your otp because the power is out and they are both up at 5 am”.

Have been meaning to edit and post it here but I have been tired lately until today. So now I am going to post it coz @sleepymccoy is coming down with something and I know this would cheer her up!

Also, tagging @nerdqueenenterprise because I’m going to try this tag list thing. (I have no idea if it will work but here we go!)

Leonard stirred from the piece of furniture the aliens here liked to call a bed but was, in fact, a shade softer than a slab of rock. He found himself hearing the faint sounds of crackling and shot up.

He was greeted with the sight of Spock, illuminated by the soft golden glow of scattered candles, the sharp lines of his face sculpted in shadow. The curve of his back was hunched over what seemed to be a small but persistent flame.

"What are you doing?"

Spock's head tilted toward the sound of Leonard's deep, sleep roughened voice, the storm outside still raging strong.

"I know you've been having trouble sleeping, ashayam. I am preparing us a meal since we cannot seem to find rest tonight."

Leonard scratched his neck absently, grumbling as he slowly walked toward Spock and his fire.

"I'm pretty sure it's early morning," he corrected, watching as Spock dumped something in front of him.

"What is that?" Leonard pointed out, as he took a seat at the table.

"While you were attempting to sleep, I surveyed the contents of the dwelling. The tricorder deemed the leaves of this plant safe and I am preparing a tea. The tricorder mentioned it has a similarity to chamomile."

Leonard only grunted, betraying his tired state, as his elbow nudged against something on the tabletop.

As he picked it up, Spock answered, "I found some Starfleet rations among the things we salvaged from the shuttlepod. These are breakfast items; I believe it to be 'blueberry pancakes'."

Sure enough, that's what the label said back to him, and Leonard gave a small smile. If it weren't for the storm, or for the alien planet, this could be some kind of a breakfast date: Spock making tea, candles lit around them. If only.

Not before long, Spock had finished brewing the not-chamomile tea, poured two steaming cups of the beverage. Sitting down, he grabbed the other ration pack, bent his head and closed his eyes for a moment.

God, he must be exhausted, Leonard thought, watching as Spock opened his eyes again and stared at him, the lines in his face heavy by the candlelight.

The two of them ripped the cover off the pack, the aroma of warm pancakes swarming their senses. He could smell the cloying artificial sweetness of the blueberry, and a deeper richer scent of the batter. It wasn't the best breakfast he had by far but it was more appealing than going hungry.

"You know, Spock," Leonard said after a few bites, "if this is your attempt at making up for skipping our last date, I have to say..."

Spock stopped cutting his pancake, his eyebrow raised.

"It's kinda nice."

There it was, that knowing twinkle in his eye and the small, minute curve of his mouth that Leonard loved. The special look just for him.

"I only wanted to ease your anxieties about this pressing storm. It will be another day before the ship can transport us out."

Leonard shook his head, knowing that Spock was putting on a show for his reassurance. A swell of warmth bloomed in his chest. He appreciated it all the same.

Taking the hand closest to him, Leonard held Spock's palm and kissed the top, before he slid two fingers against the underside of his pointer and index finger.

"I know, Spock," he said, returning to his breakfast. "I know."
