This is a bittersweet feeling, but all good things come to an end. This may be the final chapter, but it's not the last you'll be seeing of this story with Alan and Fictional Casey! The next part of the story will loosely follow the events of the first Alan Wake game set in Bright Falls.

I am so proud of this story, and I'm pleased to have a finished long-fic under my Ao3 account. This story was a labor of love, with so much editing and planning involved. I experiment with storytelling, discovered an appreciation for first person POV, and stepped outside my comfort zone multiple times throughout this creative process.

Thank you to everyone who has followed this story since I started posting it back in January. I can't wait to share more about the sequel soon!

Read from the beginning here!

I want to ask about all the wip titles, but I'm especially curious about "tattoo flower au"!!

Title: -- (working title: tattoo flower au) Fandom: The Young Pope / The New Pope Relationship: Lenny Belardo/Sir John Brannox Summary: so far just a generic tattoo parlor/flower shop AU written for giggles and because this ship has zero fics... despite having a fun dynamic to explore, even if yes-- you gotta AU It to work. But what the hell happened to the spirit of crack-shipping? Comment: I also started this a while back and just never got the right brain motivation to really finish it, but I have written some of it. It's nothing spectacular so far, I gotta plot it out more and fix some things I like and I don't like. I only want to desperately write it because I like the idea of the ship and this seems like a good ground to practice the voices till they seem right-ish. However, if the excerpt segment gets anyone screaming about it being OOC? Well, then-- do it yourself, buddy. I am trying my best with my limited energy. OOF.

Excerpt:

“Why are you doing this?” John asks, slightly annoyed but more so grateful…yet he couldn’t fathom why. He didn’t really need assistance, did he?

“I’d feel bad if you ended up getting pneumonia, despite my warning.” Belardo says as if his logic persists to make sense—it did not. However, Brannox allows it as he watches the other collect the flowers outside and bring them in, with minimal instructions from him needed. The other seemingly was not at loss.

By the point it’s done, Brannox gets inside handing off the umbrella back to the already soaked man, and proceeds to lock up his store.

“Don’t see what good that did—now we’re both soaked.” John complains, but honestly with everything considered, he did appreciate it. In an odd sense. The other man laughs, lightly, and then shrugs.

“Well, then… suppose we’ll both get sick and die.” Lenny says it like it’s a funny joke. Brannox glares, more so worried now than angry.

Previous anon, thank you so much for your voice about Saga and her space in the fandom. Your reply was amazing. I honestly can't even add to it, you said so much and hit it right on the head in every regard. I think you made a valid point too, there are fans who don't create but want to see her represented in the fandom space too. I didn't think of it like that. I'll focus on that and for the future share Saga and Andercase content not just because of that but love em so much too. I say this as someone who loves all the chararcters and multiple ships outside of her but I treasure her and the ship so much so makes little sense not to show that. My stuff isn't quality but still can share lol I should back up my words and show it with content. Also, thank you for inviting me to talk in your inbox about anything with Saga/Andercase. I'll be sure to when ideas strike and hope it can encourage others too! Would love to see the fan base show her love like every other chararcter gets. Not completely unrelated but would love if people cared about Mr. Door too. There was a ship fic with him and Alan but it's lost now and like Saga he's often on the back burner despite how interesting he is too (insanely interesting tbh). Besides, I'm sure the actors and would be just as appreciative as thr others have been to already loved chararcters.

You're very welcome! I still have many thoughts regarding Saga and her place in fandom, I might create a part 2 at some point. When I finally entered this fandom, I fully thought there would be so much dedicated to Saga, because here we had such a beautifully written and portrayed character, that it felt like a no-brainer. To see that wasn't true, to see her glossed over for characters like Casey and Zane bothered me on every level.

It's one of the reasons I came out of my near-decade hiatus, if I didn't see what I wanted, and I could create at least a little, then I was going to do that. I was extremely hesitant, mostly because I was late to the game (hah, Saga would like that pun), I didn't dip my toes in until last December. I wanted the fandom to see that Saga was still appreciated, she was still seen, it wasn't just Casey/Alan/Zane.

To see you're willing to throw your hat back in the ring pleases me beyond words, but I'll try to find them regardless. First and foremost, please don't think whatever you create is less than when that couldn't be further from the truth. I know a lot of us content creators tend to hold ourselves up to others, if we don't get as many likes/reblogs/kudos/comments as other's ships or favored characters, that MUST mean we're not good enough, right? It's hard to believe, and something I still struggle with, but it's not true.

There's various reasons why it seems our content might seem to be skipped over. Maybe the idea doesn't hit right for some people, maybe they can't connect, maybe they don't relate, or maybe it's just not their fav character/ship. That's certainly their right as fans.

Secondly, at the end of the day, sometimes you just have to create what you want to see. It can be annoying, to wonder why you have to create something that should be so obvious to everyone else. But that's the thing about fandom, sometimes you just have to show you're here to stay.

I guarantee you there will be others who love your content, even if you don't think it's that great. I had to be reminded of that myself, by two great friends and basically pioneers of writing for Saga and Andercase (@wondrouswendy and @hearts-are-connected ). I know they're some of the great ones, and they'll always cheer me on, and I know they'll extend the same courtesy to you.

Man, Warlin Door is a whole different topic for me! He's EXTREMELY interesting, well-written, and portrayed. To see him ignored even more than Saga sucks, another character I thought would get love. I would love for the actors to see that they're seen and heard as much as Ilkka and Sam are. They deserve nothing less.

I very much look forward to seeing your content! You have a very eager fan here.

This story begins prior to the events of the original Alan Wake game. It'll focus on the creation of Alan's books and the roller-coaster life he leads prior to making his way with Alice to Bright Falls.

This story is as much a character study of Alan as much as it is a story focusing on my interpretation of his complicated love life. Whoever you prefer Alan to be with, I hope you’ll give this story a chance. This piece was very experimental for me, an intimidating monster in its own right. It’s deeply personal as a writer myself, for Alan’s mental and emotional struggles are very relatable to me (and to countless other creatives out there).

If you click through, I hope you enjoy!!

The most recent few lines I've attempted below:

“You don’t have to wonder, Jesse,” he said, his irises a thin rim of flickering amber, centimeters from her face. “Why wonder when you can know?” 

Those suggestive lips, parted just before her own. 

Kiss me, she thought, her breath burning high in her chest. Fucking kiss me.

I was tagged by @wondrouswendy!

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

No, although everyone used to ask me if I was named after the Beatles song. Sadly not.

I was almost named Phoebe and that would have been a disaster. No offense to the Phoebes out there.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

Maybe a few weeks ago? I'm probably going to cry soon, though, considering the next Odin/Zane chapter I have to write.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

Loaded question. No, tried to make it happen, lots of trauma ensued (seriously, fuck IVF), now very happily living the childfree DINK life. It all worked out in the end.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?

I played varsity softball in high school and haven't touched sports since. I do go for a 4.5 mile walk every morning, though.

DO YOU USE SARCASM?

All the time.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?

Hmm. I've never really thought about this. Probably clothes?

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?

Blue

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?

Scary movies all the way. Horror is my favorite genre in pretty much all mediums. I am a sucker for happy endings (at least, as happy as they can get, given the genre) within horror movies, though!

ANY TALENTS?

Not sure what it says about me, but this was by far the most difficult question to answer. Do I put something sarcastic? Sincere?

I guess you could say I have a talent for overthinking things. ;)

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

Washington DC

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Video games, first and foremost. Music is also a very important part of my life; I've been playing guitar on and off since I was 10, and that was a very long time ago. Live music sustains me. I also try to write something every day.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?

I have four! Two seven year old gray tabby cats named Sam and Dean (yes, they're brothers), a 5 year old Keeshond named Kenzi and a 1 year old Shetland Sheepdog named Jester.

HOW TALL ARE YOU?

5'2"-ish

FAVOURITE SUBJECT?

Psychology. People are fascinating.

DREAM JOB?

Working with lemurs. Seriously. They're so cute! Do yourself a favor - if you're ever in the Raleigh, NC area, go visit the Duke Lemur Center. It's amazing.

In chapter 17, Alan faces a difficult choice: continue onward down the path he's going on or course correct. I put a lot of work into this chapter in particular, so I'm half-excited, half-terrified, wondering how it will be received. If you read it, I hope it garners an emotional response worthy of what's happening in the story. Let me know what you think if you click through! 💘
