Answers from the Miss Fisher fic writers – masterpost

“Dot! Did you know about 'only one bed'?”

A month ago or so, I asked the Miss Fisher fic writers a few questions, and I’m happy and honoured that so many of you chose to answer them. I love hearing writers talk about their writing and about things like where their inspiration came from or what has been important for them. Because there is so much thinking behind all these lovely fics that we get to read and love -- thinking and temper and personality. The answers are as diverse as the writers, and it’s been a joy to read every single one.

This is the collected masterpost with the answers I have received. If I have missed anyone, please tell me -- I’ve tried my best to trawl tumblr, but it’s hard to know for sure if you’ve found everything. Also, if anyone answers late, I’ll just add them on. The entries are put in alphabetical order.

The Boy In The Thunderbird Mask

Sweet Like Honey

Unfortunately for Credence, Mr. Graves takes discipline very seriously – especially when it’s a pretty boy causing all the trouble.

Silent Souls

Author: Yeoyou

Summary: Percival Graves didn't allow himself the delusion of thinking himself a good man. But neither did he believe that he was particularly bad. So the rumour that he had no soul should have been without foundation. And yet the suspiciously spotless skin of his wrist seemed to say otherwise. For what other explanation could there be for the absence of any markings, any words stitching his soul together with another's, than that he had no soul at all? No soul. No soulmate. The logic was irrefutable.

Safe From The World

Author: Truetomorrow

Summary: Credence and Percival were roommates in college; now Percival is an up-and-coming lawyer, and Credence is in his last year of undergrad on a trip to visit Percival. They are best friends. Sometimes they undress each other. It's platonic. Totally platonic. (Until suddenly it doesn't have to be)

Call Me When You’re Sober

Author: hiikigane

Summary: Having a roommate sucks when you're a socially awkward gamer/programmer starting your first year in college. It sucks even more when you're a studious, uptight senior who applied for a single room in the first place. But Credence and Percival learn to get along and with a little outside help, learn that being roommates can be pretty fun.

Detachment

Author: projectoverlord

Summary: The first sign of trouble for them is always Queenie making that face. The one that she is wearing right now; her mouth open just a little, eyes wide but vacant, like she is a thousand miles away. By now they know that look. It has them all on their feet immediately, gearing up and getting the jet primed to go.

AU Percival is part of the Superhero team known as the Aurors. Obscurus is the thorn in his side that gets innocent people killed and refuses to join his team.

Sweeter Than Honey

Author: ozean

Summary: Basically where Percival Graves gets off on getting a certain Credence Barebone off and then paying him for the "experience."

Tucked Away We Are Found

Author: nerdygaycas

Summary: Credence Barebone survived that fateful month of November after the metro attack, but MACUSA deemed him a hazard to himself and the rest of the world, and so he was sent to Kästner, the place where ill-fated witches and wizards, untreatably sick or mentally disturbed, suffered in shame, completely forgotten. Exactly one month and eleven days had passed since Graves was officially reinstated in his charge, but despite his best efforts to forget the whole ordeal, like a cut that would not stop bleeding in his mind: Credence, the Second Salemer boy. Haunted by the weight of his conscience and a strangling sense of duty, Graves decides to travel all the way up to Kästner, and pay Credence a long-overdue visit.

We Fight Ourselves

Author: writingramblr

Summary: Germany's Ambassadors come to MACUSA to discuss ever evolving laws and borders that may change, but instead of keeping things professional, Director Graves manages to end up on the other side of a seduction game that just may turn his worldview upside down.

The Name Game

Author: secondsodomites

Summary: Credence first sees Graves at a bar. Two days later Graves waltzes into Kowalski's Bakery & Deli and shenanigans ensue.

Anomaly

WIP Challenge Ask Game

tagged by @jmrothwell, @daintyduck99, @astorytotellyourfriends, @nuandia (thank you guys 💕)

Rules: “Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DND campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!”

Well damn, kitten fic was just finished so now I've got only two legit contenders for 'work in progress' where actual progress is not just completely theoretical:

Alex Adoption Fic

Willex Merman Fairytale AU (currently titled "Salt of the Ocean/Depths of Devotion" ... which is ... a title I guess)

Merman is currently swimming ahead and might be finished soonish (my soonish meaning weeks instead of months ...the slow progress of a snail pushing a rock uphill) and then I hope I get back into the adoption fic. I did reread it recently and still like it so ... fingers crossed.

WITP (work in theoretical progress):

Nature 2.0 (never forgotten)

Home Front (who knows, it might happen)

Bondage Fic (rated E, surprise)

various willex aus living in my brain that might be unexpectedly written down after all (it did happen to kitten and adoption fic so everything is possible)

___

I lost count who got tagged so @merihn, @chanihobbit, @hot-elf, @innytoes, @kbstories, @tired-eyes-cold-as-ice (no pressure)

Willie and Alex haven’t been dating for long and so far, Willie has only dreamed about kissing Alex. He has not dreamed of hugging him because he’s never really liked hugs. But when Alex offers one to comfort Willie on the anniversary of his parent’s death, he is unable to say no to his boyfriend. He has not expected it to feel so magical.

Willex, T, 9k

My gift for @lou-writes-things as part of the @jatpfebfanfest 2024. Hope you guys enjoy it and excuse the slightly early posting ;D

🔪☁️

Thank you so much for the questions, nonny!! <3

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

I ... do very little research to be honest so there hasn't been anything really weird unless you count having to research the American high school system weird ;D

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

Okay, so this is a bit of long story. Once upon a time I joined a Stargate Atlantis forum and the amazing people there encouraged me to write a very self-indulgent SGA fic (I never finished it) so now I faced the dilemma of every writer: what do I call this thing? One of the people there suggested opening a random book on a random page. That book happened to be Winnie-the-Pooh with the little cloud song Pooh sings while trying to steal some honey from bees and I settled on the line "Floating in the blue" because, well, Atlantis was literally floating 'in the blue' (on the ocean). Not the most original idea. Anyway, fast forward to me registering on this blue hellsite and discovering that my normal Internet name (Yeoyou) was not available. And I thought ... well, this website is blue, might as well use that one again. And here I am, more than a decade later, still happily floating around in the blue hellsite ;D

The Red White & Royal Blue Willex Au I am not writing now has a series on AO3, go figure 😂

So far it only has the little cakegate ficlet to get it started but there will be another fic coming this Willex Wednesday so if you want to get subscribed and be the first to know, I'm certainly not stopping you.

Since the muse was emphatically against writing another chaptered fic and considers this her recreational playground, things will not be posted in order and will vary in POV, length, and rating (there will be smut, very soon).

Series premise (for those unfamiliar with rwarb): Willie is the First Nephew of the United States (with his uncle Caleb as president) and Alex is a British prince. The two of them start out as enemies who are then forced to become fake friends which turns into a real friendship that turns into love. Misunderstandings are happening.

Alex is living the dream. He's going to college, moved out from home and is finally in a position to adopt a cat. With the new hot neighbour moving in across the hall, everything could be awesome. Except that his cat is a demon from hell and Alex had hoped he'd make a better first impression on his neighbour.

First Part of the Saga of Toast about Alex, Willie, and one very chaotic cat.

Eternal thanks to @innytoes who has been brainstorming this verse with me and provided invaluable ideas about more chaos and mayhem and kicked my butt to actually write it. Not yesterday, when I did finally sit down to write it, but in general. Hope this is a nice surprise, hunny ;D

Willex sharing their favourite movies and cuddling 😍

Here’s the thing. Alex loves cuddling and holding hands and has never left Willie in any doubt that his frequent casual and less casual touches are appreciated.

But he rarely initiates them himself. He needs to be really caught up in the moment instead of overthinking, or they need to be touching already. And Willie is okay with that. People show their love in different ways and his has always been touch.

All of that isn’t to say that he isn’t absolutely elated every time Alex is sleepy and gets all cuddly all of a sudden, clinging to him.

They’re watching one of Willie’s favourites, The Fall (and yes, he likes it for more than just Lee Pace being hot as the Masked Bandit), and Willie has just returned from the kitchen, refilling the chips bowl, when the first thing he sees is Alex‘s arms and his hands making grabbing motions over the back of the couch.

Willie chuckles, “All right, hot dog,” and places the bowl in Alex’s outstretched fingers before coming around the couch.

But Alex is pouting, discarding the chips on the couch table, and tugging Willie somewhat abruptly down to him so he basically falls into his arms. It must knock the air out of him just as it does for Willie but Alex just smiles contentedly and grabs Willie closer until he’s arranged him into a comfortable position against his side, leaning his cheek against Willie’s hair, and sighing contentedly.

Willie stretches one hand towards the chips bowl but of course it’s too far away. Resignedly, he snuggles closer to his boyfriend, thumb rubbing over Alex’s shirt and the warm skin beneath.

It’s a good thing he’s seen the movie countless times because before long, his eyes drift close and not even Lee Pace’s arms can divert his interest enough from losing himself in Alex’s embrace.

DOMESTIC FLUFF. Write me something cute with Willex and household chores 😍😍😍

“One day, one glorious day, we’ll have enough money to buy a fucking dishwasher!”

Alex had his arms crossed, glaring at the mountain of dirty dishes in the kitchen that was completely unperturbed by his death stare, and once again wished he’d taken Julie’s offer of her and the boys helping with the clean up. But since they’d dismissed his and Willie’s offer the last time they’d been over at their place there was no way in polite hell he could have taken them up on it. Even though it was completely different because they were three people and he and Willie just two.

One of which was currently dancing around the living room, collecting all the pillows that had been thrown around during their watch-party, and gracefully flipping them back into their usual places. Well, mostly. About a third ended up landing behind the couch but Willie wasn’t fazed and just collected them again with a smile, starting again.

Alex really, really loved his boyfriend a stupid amount - as he was constantly reminded by his friends, who never failed to exaggerate the ‘stupid’ - but right now, watching him be so care free while Alex tried to stare down the dishes, he just thought it was unfair for anyone to be so beautiful and happy at half past two in the morning, with dirty dishes overflowing the kitchen counter.

Alex sighed and rolled up his sleeves.

“Okay. I can do this. You will not defeat me!”

He agressively started making piles of plates and bowls while waiting for the water to turn from cold to hot, collecting their glasses in the sink and throwing in the cutlery as well, before setting out the dishtowel and adding generous amounts of soap to the water.

And then he sighed once more and got to work defeating the enemy.

“You okay there, babe?”

Willie had halted in the kitchen doorframe, a stack of their boardgames under one arm and the lone bag of chips that had survived the night in his free hand.

Alex wrestled a smile onto his face.

“Yeah, sure.”

He made a point to put the glass he’d just rinsed on the dishtowel more gently than the last few.

Willie grinned, biting down on his lip, eyebrows twitching, but he didn’t say anything, just nodded and continued with his tidying.

He’d offered to do the dishes earlier but he’d already done them once that day, washing up all the utensils Alex had used in his cooking, and Alex’s pride had forbidden him to saddle his angelic boyfriend with the dreaded chore twice in one day, even though he knew Willie had much less of a problem with doing dishes than he did (just don’t talk to him about cleaning windows unless you’re prepared for a half-hour rant).

Pride was a damn inconvenient thing!

Alex was about halfway through the dishes, cursing every single one under his breath when Willie pressed against his back, arms wrapped around his middle.

“How you’re holding up, hotdog?”

Alex inhaled, trying to keep his loathing inside. But it was futile, Willie knew him too well anyway.

“God, I hate washing dishes,” he exclaimed, breathing out, and felt Willie chuckle against him.

“Shall I take over for you?”

“No!” Alex clutched the sponge. “I said I would do them and I will.”

Willie chuckled again, pressing a kiss between his shoulderblades and started losening his grip when Alex stopped him.

“But ... would you mind staying? I think I could bear it easier if you stayed.”

Willie hugged him tightly, kissing his nape, and whispering:

“Of course. I’d do anything for you.”

Alex fought his own grin, sudden happiness bubbling up inside of him. He cleaned the rest of the dishes with Willie’s comfortable weight draped around his back, his boyfriend swaying easily with his every move, cheek pressed against Alex’s shoulder, humming slightly.

And Alex had never enjoyed washing dishes more.

First Lines

I was tagged by the best muffin, @merihn

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!

from recent to older.

In Your Starlight (Julie and the Phantoms, Willex, Star Trek AU, T, ~46k, ongoing)

Rematerialisation was always a bit of a system shock but usually, you could prepare for the sensation ahead of time. Since all three cadets had been caught unaware, they were now stumbling off the transporter platform, disoriented.

'In Your Starlight' Missing Scene: How to Understand Your Boyfriend (JatP, Willex, Star Trek AU, G, 2k)

Willie was not a good liar and he knew that his feeble excuse of 'needing to check something' didn't sound very convincing. And of course it was bullshit. He'd had all day to check things if things needed checking. So no wonder Alex looked confused and hurt.

Tell Me I Am Yours (JatP, Willex, College AU, T, ~4k)

This had been a stupid idea. That much was apparent the moment Brad opened the door for Alex and called him Patrick, his breath smelling overpoweringly of alcohol and cheese puffs.

ignoring: Starlight Sonata (extended smut chapter from In Your Starlight)

ignoring: Breathe [Extended] (Metal Gear Solid, based on a roleplay so the first lines aren’t mine)

Land of Confusion (JatP, Alex/Luke/Reggie/Willie, Willie joins Sunset Curve AU, T, 1,5k)

They had all agreed that their sound would be better with a rhythm guitarist joining Sunset Curve but when they finally found one, all three grappled with the aftermath of that decision.

Will You (JatP, Alex/Luke/Reggie/Willie, canon divergence AU, T, 9,4k)

Alex had not seen the kiss coming. Which was all the more surprising since he had been waiting for it basically since the day Willie had run him over.

Show Me How to be Whole Again (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, fanon!Thesesus Scamander/Percival Graves/Credence Barebone, post movie 1 canon divergence AU, E, 7,5k)

A Graves never asks for help.

Percival had discarded most of the things his father had taught him but this lesson had stuck around longer than most.

You don't ask for help. You get where you want by hard work and determination. Needing help is showing weakness and no Graves is ever weak.

Well, fuck that.

The Last Standing (JatP, Bobby | Trevor Wilson, canon compliant, T, 6k)

“Come on.” The voice is distant, muffled by the static in Bobby‘s head. He dimly feels the pressure of a hand taking his, stumbles after the vague outline of the girl and finds himself in a car, feet pushing against empty bottles and knickknack, the scent of cheap air freshener in his nose.

Home is Where My Ghost is (JatP, Willex, post-canon, G, ~4k)

“Willie!” Alex sighed with relief as he spotted the familiar figure on the skateboard. He hadn't been sure where he'd find his friend, had been terrified that Caleb had done something to him in punishment for the boys' escape. But here he was, skating around the same museum he'd brought Alex to just a few weeks earlier.

ignoring: Plot Bunny Crib (collection of short OS)

And then tea (Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, post-canon, T, 666)

Aziraphale was personally responsible for devouring countless items of food in his time, from cakes to sushi to ice cream. But this had been the first time that he himself had been devoured.

Thursday (Metal Gear Solid, Solid Snake/Otacon, grief fic, G, 778)

“The bed is too big.”

He’s aware of heads nodding even as he continues to stare at his shoelaces. They all know this.

“But a smaller one would seem wrong. No space for him.”

Him is David. Him is also Solid Snake but they don’t know that. For once, it doesn’t matter.

Cancer he said because everybody understands cancer and it’s close enough.

Imperfect Paradise (MGS, Solid Snake/Otacon, missing scene from Battlefield, WW I/WW II AU, G, 1,5k)

Something has been on Hal’s mind for a while now but David doesn’t ask. If Hal wants to confide in him, he will and until then, David will be patient.

Lomqa' (Star Trek Discovery, Hugh Culber & Ash Tyler | Voq, post 2x08 canon divergence, G, 1,3k)

Ash Tyler is horribly familiar with the acidic taste of guilt on this tongue; the way it burns his throat until he hardly knows how to speak anymore. How to breathe.

Guilt is a hungry demon sitting in his chest.

But anger is sitting right beside it, hissing in his veins, his ears, his head. Boiling his blood.

Under My Skin (MGS, Snake/Otacon, florist/tattoo artist AU, E, 11k)

The first thing he notices is the smell. The air is humid and heavy with the perfume of flowers and plants. Hal rubs his glasses clean off the fog and puts them on again to take a look around. It feels like a different world, the noise from the street muffled, like a shop-sized slice of paradise.

Hal sneezes.

31 (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Phrack, post tv canon, G, 8k)

The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher prided herself in always taking great care in how she dressed. She enjoyed the power that comes from the right fashion and wielded that power well. She also did not believe in hiding her age or her body. And both had been very kind to her throughout the years.

Phryne was always impeccably dressed but this day warranted extra care. It was a special occasion and one she had waited thirty-one years for!

Love Me To the End (Fantabi, fanon!Thesesus Scamander/Percival Graves/Credence Barebone, music AU, G, 550)

The first time Credence heard Graves’ music, he wanted to wrap himself in it, let the voice caress him and keep him safe. Blood on his back and bile in his mouth. But music in his heart.

The Dog Dilemma (MGS, Solid Snake, 50 cats AU, G, 2,6k)

The weather took a turn for the worse as Snake got into the town proper. Rain was beating onto the windshield, rendering the world outside into a blur and maybe he should have picked another day for this but now he'd gotten this far. Besides, it would be dry inside the shelter and Snake was nothing if not weatherproof. He'd gotten through worse inconveniences than rain.

Team Up or Go Home (MGS, Solid Snake & Otacon, pre-Philanthropy, G, 1,8k)

There was snow in his nose. And his ears. Two places that it definitely wasn't supposed to be. He wasn't that much of a fan of snow anyway but when it intruded into his body, he could almost say that he hated it.

ignoring: Love is in the Folds (Doctor Strange’s Cape/Thor’s Cape, crackfic)

The Dress (MFMM, Phrack, canon divergence, T, 1k)

He thought he was prepared by now for Phryne's sartorial arsenal. The luxurious fabrics, satin gliding over her body with every move, furs framing her lovely face, begging, tempting to be touched. Jewellery made of diamonds and sapphires that burnt with an inner fire just like their wearer. He thought that he has seen it all. The lethal dresses full of feminine power, the flowing folds of trousers, the practical yet stylish clothes she dons for more dangerous missions. He has seen the kaleidoscope of colours and patterns to bedazzle all senses and has grown used to it.

But this is new.

Generosity (MFMM, Phrack, canon divergence, E, ~2k)

After kissing Phryne, after finally making it clear how much he wanted and needed her, Jack had thought the rest would be simple. Glorious and exquisite, for sure. Maybe even poetic. But ultimately simple. He hadn’t counted on sudden nerves making his fingers tremble and his cheeks flush. He hadn’t expected how hard it would be to look Phryne in the eyes, those lovely eyes, once they were alone in her boudoir.

Worst Man at the Wedding (MGS, Kazuhira Miller/Ocelot, possibly canon compliant by who knows, T, 1k)

He looked handsome in the tuxedo, there was no denying that. But then, he had always been handsome, no matter the clothes. He'd looked handsome in the blazing Costa Rican sun, wearing only far too small speedos and sweat on his skin, and he'd still managed to look handsome after being cut into pieces, wrapped in blood and dirt and excrements. Though the latter was a look best appreciated from a very far distance! It wasn't really fair, this outrageous beauty, but Ocelot wouldn't exactly have given his right hand and a leg for that particular superpower.

I haven’t done this in a while so this was fun! Thanks again for the tag, darling. It appears I rarely open with direct speech. But I have no idea which one is my favourite opening? So how about you guys tell me which you like best (regardless of whether you know the fandom or context or whatever)? Please?? :D

As for tagging ... puh, most fic writers I know have already been tagged, but let me see who I can pull up from my other, dormant fandoms: @kbstories (hey, look! I remembered your new URL :D), @hot-elf, @firesign23, @bettsican
