@jegulus-microfic april 11 - football - 832 words
“Hiya, Reg,” James grins breathlessly from where he’s just pulled himself up the railing on the bleachers. There’s no pair of glasses perched on his nose right now, forgone in favor of contacts he wears during Football practice, giving him the opportunity to blink his baby cow brown eyes up at Regulus, long lashes and everything. Looking all handsome and cute, no regards to the way it’s affecting other people. Not that he’s affecting Regulus, no. Her heart is beating at a perfectly normal rate, thank you very much.
Regulus purses her lips to reign in her smile as she takes the two strides over, “Hi James.”
His grin widens at the reciprocated greeting and James leans around her for a second to yell a Hello at the others as well. There’s a less enthusiastic greeting in return and then James’ gaze is back on Regulus as she leans down. Her palms curl around the railing right next to James’—their skin touching just barely, Regulus immediately soaking up the warmth James emits— and her zip-up slips down exposing a naked, pale shoulder. And if the top she’s wearing is a little low cut for the position she’s pulling off, that’s nobody’s business but her own.
And James’ maybe, whose eyes dip lower for just a second, before he clears his throat. “Whatchu all doin’ here this afternoon?”
“Ah, y’know,” Regulus cocks her head, her long waves falling forward, “Enjoying the nice weather, doing a little homework.”
“Watching you play,” Dorcas murmurs from behind her, someone, Pandora presumably, trying to cover it with a cough. Not like Evan or Barty would ever come to her rescue, fucking good for nothings.
James’ grin widens impossibly.
Regulus sucks her teeth, itching to change the subject, “So who are y’all playing against?”
“The team two towns over,” James explains, “A practice match.”
She nods, “Kick some asses then.”
James’ dark hair is wildly standing up in all directions and Regulus has to repress the urge to reach out her fingers and fix it. The football player hums, cocking his head, “Gimme a good luck kiss then?”
“Are you saying you need it?”
“I’m a very superstitious person, Reg. Every player is entitled to their lucky charm.”
“I’m not a lucky charm.”
“You were if it were up to me, baby.”
Regulus rolls her eyes, cheeks heating in irritation.
“C’mon,” James needles, “Just a peck on the cheek.”
“No.”
“I kiss you on the cheek?”
Regulus hesitates, eyes roving over James’ sincere expression for a moment before ripping herself out of her trance, “No.” 
It comes out wobbly though and James grins victoriously.
Right before hefting himself further up and smacking a warm kiss on Regulus’ chilly cheek.
“James,” she cries out in indignation, the older boy already making to leave, jumping down.
James throws another blinding grin over his shoulder as he jogs to where his team is huddling up around the coach, “I know you well enough to know when you’re lying, Reg!”
Regulus’ temple is throbbing at his fucking audacity. She crosses her arms, yelling after him, “I hope you lose!”
“No, you don’t!” James chuckles.

When Nate comes back, and Ted's not there, there's a Special Meeting of the Diamond Dogs called to try to figure out a game of desk musical chairs.
Which would be fine if only Beard would let Roy move to Ted's desk, Nate then gets Roy's, and Trent stays where he is. But Beard just glares at them all when Higgins suggests that solution.
Roy then flat out refuses with a "Fuck no" when Higgins timidly says he and Nate could share?
To smooth things over Trent quietly offers Nate his old desk with a shrug saying he's fine, but Nate still doesn't know where he stands with Trent and says he won't kick him out.
After that there's a bit of overlapping conversation where Higgins offers various ideas, Nate keeps trying to not be a bother, Roy shoots down anything that moves him, and Trent can't look away from Ted's empty desk.
Beard, who uncharacteristically hasn't said anything all meeting, finally points to each of them as he says,
"Roy stays, Nate gets his old desk, and Trent," he gets up and walks over to Trent who stands up out of his morose slouch.
Beard puts his hands heavily on Trent's shoulders and tells him,
"Trent, you get Ted's desk"
The Diamond Dogs dismount soon after that with everyone happy with Beard's declaration. Everyone, except a rather confused Trent.
Once it's just the two of them and Trent's perched gently on the front of Ted's chair and his laptop and notebooks all in a single pile in the center of the desk, he finally looks at Beard and says,
"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can use his desk. It feels final and I can't-"
Beard looks over at him with one of the most serious and understanding looks Trent's ever seen him send his way,
"It has to be you. That way, when Ted returns and he will return, it's you he sees there. It can't be anyone else."
Beard returns his attention to the book in front of his face, before adding,
"Besides, be honest, could you stand to stay here with anyone else sitting at his desk?"
Trent doesn't respond, but then he doesn't have to. They both know he has enough material to finish his book and he could do it at home.
But he likes coming in. He likes spending time with the team and the Diamond Dogs and having his gossip time with Rebecca, but without Ted there? It's feels like a piece of him is missing.
Ted's the only one who wanted him there from the very beginning. He welcomed him here and gave him these people and gave him this home and this job.
But Beard gave him Ted's desk. So he'll hold down the fort, as it were, until Ted returns. And he'll hope that one of these mornings he'll look up to see Ted walking through that door again.

The world shifted around Stanley as the bean's car lurched to a stop. Various dry goods and produce leaned into the borrower before returning to their stations. He could hardly move, squished between a box of pasta and the side of the tote bag in which he was trapped.  They had been traveling for an awfully long time, or at least it felt that way to Stanley. He had no way of knowing, being unable to see out from his canvas prison.
Hi, I put up a chapter of my borrower au fic on Ao3, for those who might be interested <3
Once again, I'd like to thank @lizzybeanbutt for allowing me to drag her into my funney au thoughts

Title: Under the Moon
Pairing: Ian/Anthony - Ianthony
Rating: G
Summary:
“We should actually do it though,” Anthony said.
“Huh?” Ian asked, completely lost on Anthony’s thread of thought for once in his life.
“Um,” Anthony said, “Get married. We should do that.”
Notes: This was written as a commission by @shaynesunderstudy! This was inspired by a conversation in the rare pairs server about Ian and Anthony having a night wedding. I hope you enjoy!

Guys you know what would make me happy!
Having someone psychoanalyse your works and find out every bit of tiny details you put in their and telling it to you excitedly and listening to you ramble about some ancient Mayan article you read about love and that's why you kept the tiny detail in there?
I was going to say some pancakes but yeah this wouldn't hurt either

The Secret of the Greenhouse
A little non canon compliant Tabitha fic for Scarlet Hollow.
Tabitha loathes taking care of the…thing in the greenhouse. But with Pearlanne gone she's the only one left to do it.
(Please note: I wrote this before Episode 4 came out and based it on my thoughts on the Goop Teddy fan theory at the time. Now we know what's actually in the greenhouse, so this very much doesn't follow canon. But after @georgiedoesntfloat asked me about my SH fic ideas I couldn't get this one out of my head because I liked the vibes. So here it is, and it's all thanks to Georgie!)
Tabitha wasn’t one to believe something unless she saw it herself. She lived in a world of what was concrete and right in front of her. Yet what was in front of her tested her mightily. It shouldn’t exist, but somehow it did. Now that Pearlanne was gone, it was up to her to deal with this…thing.
Pearlanne told Tabitha about it less than a year ago. Apparently it used to be Teddy Scarlet, who was said to have died in the mine collapse in 1918. For all she knew that was a lie. But she learned long ago to keep such thoughts to herself. Pearlanne had been insistent that she learn how to ‘care’ for it. As if it were some kind of horrible pet.
Ever the dutiful daughter, she listened to what her mother had to say. Though Tabitha was sure Pearlanne left out quite a bit. There were too many missing pieces to the story she was given. Now she would never know the rest. Her mother was dead, and she knew not to trust what it had to say.
You can find the rest here on Ao3!

Best trick I weaponize in my writing when a scene is dragging on and I don't know how to end it is the "TV show cut to commercial" trick where I end on a meaningful or pointed line of dialogue/scene and "fade to black" for a commercial break

a weird thing no one tells you about becoming a parent while being a person that gets overinvested in media is that you will, quite abruptly, exit the type of media people write thoughtful fanfiction and meta about, while -- and this is key -- not becoming any less consumed by the desire to consume thoughtful fanfiction and meta about the media you're currently deeply invested in
what i mean by this is that every time mint and I listen to the podcast we've both pairbonded with i am Compelled to either check the tumblr tags to see what people think about the latest expansion of the podcaster-focused framing narrative, or look for Little Hedgehog and Bebe fanart, or search AO3 to see if anyone has really like, dug into the complicated sibling relationship between the proprietors of competitor business The Sleep Railway and The Sleep Train
and they NEVER HAVE

i just. remembered again that i have a fembaru fic but also the premise is. Very Messed Up hah and also it was written before the canon genderbent au with its official genderbend names for everyone so its also outdated on top of that T^T i had like. Genderqueer subtext going on too. but i also wrote this fic like almost two years ago and havent touched it in forever so im unsure if i should go back to it…. o.o but i would love to finish it one day if only for my own satisfaction hah… i had a very detailed outline for ch 2 (its a twoshot) and several scenes written already anyway!! (and also i would probably update those names, make minor edits, etc etc hmm…)
#just thinking about this wip again………… mmmm….. not super confident in my older ao3 fics but the premise for this one was like. i think i#ended up brainstorming it with a friend or two and then i was like wait holy shit howd this play out. and then i took about two weeks to#write ch1? :o#and then i like. REALLY got into revolutionary girl utena after finishing ch1 so like that def bled into um. the themes.#just. thimking…….. bc ive had so many ideas to explore like. themes regarding gender and misogyny and Choice and destiny and queerness and#all sorts of things….. bc rezero Touches on them and is even Detailed on them sometimes and id Love to go in depth. but im also a bit#nervous to bc 1. writing fic is….. so much work sometimes fr and i am but a lazy writer and 2. the slight anxiety of what if i get flamed#o.o wild to think about…..#like. i have ideas for emilia fics that are. definitely darker maybe a bit controversial but i will go off the walls with writing for the#sake of answering the questions of. can this be done. and is it possible to narratively critique canon and fandom treatment of emilia. that#sort of thing.#not that im the best writer ever akdbdnd but i do like darker fiction sometimes. and i also like being meta about things in fiction. and i#also like writing to get out a tiny bit of salt. etc etc.#i tried to write these kinds of thinngs with my atm sole emilia centric fic that i wrote. uhhh more than a year ago? and i would love to try#again one day bc ive def improved and changed as a writer since then. u know what i mean?? :o#just like. rezero and queerness is very interesting to me.#suffaru post#saving this on the blog bc i talked Too Much about my writing process here HAH#my writing process being: HOW FAR CAN I TAKE THIS IDEA AND HOW OFF THE WALLS CAN IT GET????#in reality tho im really just a massive nerd whos gone down a massive rabbit hole of writing anime fanfic. 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏#if you actually read all these tags big thank you HAH

context: I'm writing a LONG wip (should be 55 chapters, an actual epic story with action and plot though romantic destiel filter) and I'm thinking about when i should start posting it. Generally I'd want to finish first and post afterwards, so i can update regularly and not be distracted from the actual writing, but it's gonna take me way too long to finish it (like two years realistically??) so I'm thinking maybe i might start posting it before, even if less regularly? So i can share it with you earlier and you can engage with me as i write it?
