Companion piece to 'Who Knew', my 52k words Kim/Shego fluff with drama fic.

It's Ann Possible's POV and follows chapters 6-8 of 'Who Knew'. It is something I thought about doing ever since I got a comment about Ann's non-reaction to Kim and Shego dating and doing more.

So, see children (of all ages), leaving a comment on a fic might net you more reading material in the long run.

One of these is not like the others...

I just wanted another word for 'accidentally'. And this is why my longstanding beef with the Grammar & Spelling Thingamajig in Microsoft Word will never end. It is usually alright and tells me where I'm missing a comma. But then you get stuff like this and are reminded why you shouldn't entirely rely on machines to do your spellcheck.

The last chapter! I just posted the last chapter and the epilogue to this story. Yes, I might've not written anything for it in almost a year, but maybe it was just cooking. And now that the story is finished, it clocks in at a whopping 52,047 words. I honestly don't know how that happened. Maybe because this new and last full chapter comes in at almost 8,000 words. Who knows?

And I'm thinking about posting some outtakes from the chapter where the whole thing could've gone into a completely different direction. (Or where I had completely lost the plot I established in the previous chapter like the numbnuts I am.)

Oh, and here's the link to the first chapter if you want to start from the beginning:

Just saw this. I'm this close to crying. How did this happen? When did this happen?

Over 10,000 hits on a stupid story with a stupid plot that was supposed to have just 3 chapters and be done. Now has 18 chapters and I'm still struggling to write the final chapter. It has gone through so many rewrites and writer's blocks with me.

My next most "successful" story has not even half as many hits.

I just... I'm speechless. I just... I can't.

To anyone who might see this and has read the story... Thank you.

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

Just dropping in to say...

It's now also on AO3.

Watched Hazbin Hotel, read Chaggie fanfic, and must've turned a wrong corner because I found myself back with Carmen Sandiego and Carulia. How did this happen?

Anyway... I wrote this short snippet. Takes place directly after the very last shot of the vary last episode of Carmen Sandiego. Cause, let's be honest, Carmen and Julia not ending up together... makes me sad. This is just a little, probably ooc, goodness. I don't even know if I should put it up on AO3.

Fandom: Carmen Sandiego (2019) Ship: Carmen/Julia Words: 709

Julia let out an exhausted sigh as she stepped out of the hotel's elevator. She had called it a day after they had brought in Paper Star. The paperwork would be there for her in the morning. She just wanted to get to the hotel and relax. It had been a few hectic days.

She unlocked the room and stepped into it. Closing the door behind her, she unbuttoned her blazer and discarded it on the back of a chair next to a bright red coat, before even acknowledging the figure lounging on the bed.

"Thank you for the gift. Nice wrapping." Julia smiled at Carmen.

"Just thought you guys would appreciate it." A lithe movement and Carmen stood in front of Julia, her hands on Julia's hips.

Julia looked up into the steely grey eyes of her companion. "It was. But you know what I would appreciate much more?" She leaned closer and put her hands on Carmen's chest. "Visiting a museum when it's actually open." Julia shoved Carmen back onto the mattress and straddled her.

"And whose fault is that Miss I-have-to-work?" Carmen laughed her hands settling on Julia's thighs.

"Oh, shut it you." Julia said good-naturedly and leaned down.

The door behind them burst open. "Carm!"

Julia sighed and dropped her forehead onto Carmen's chest. She had hoped she'd had more of a head start, but she should've known the twins' aversion to paperwork would mean different.

"Oooohhh! Are we interrupting something?" Ivy sing-songed teasingly.

Julia could practically hear Carmen's eyeroll. She sat up and swung her legs over to sit on the edge of the bed looking sternly at her colleagues. "Not anymore, you aren't. What do you want in here anyway?"

"We wanted to say hi to Carm. We missed her." Zack said with half a snack from the minibar in his hand.

"We just hadn't realized you had called dibs on her first. Should've put a sock on the door handle or something." Ivy smirked.

Julia sighed. She liked the twins, really, but she didn't know how Carmen had put up with their antics for that long. "Zack, please don't empty the minibar, ACME doesn't cover the bill and I doubt your paycheck allows for it. And Ivy, I did not call dibs…" She was getting worked up, but Carmen put her hand on the small of her back and she found her calm again. "…because I simply didn't feel it necessary to do so. I thought it was obvious. At least to two people who claim to be as capable as they are as Agents."

That got the attention of Zack and Ivy. They stood up straighter, ready to defend themselves. "But I must've been mistaken. Maybe you spent too much time with Devineaux. Who knows. He, at least, has learned to knock before entering a room." Julia smirked. Devineaux had learned the hard way to knock before barging into a room, after he had walked in on Carmen and Julia once. That was an occasion none of them wanted to ever repeat.

Julia got up and walked to her suitcase. "I'm going to change into something more comfortable. And then I just want some dinner." She straightened again after grabbing her clothes and looked at the other three in the room. "With my girlfriend. Alone. Understood?" Her eyes fixed the twins specifically who nodded and swallowed. She turned and entered the bathroom. Closing the door behind herself, she smiled. Being a senior agent had some perks. Or it was just that Zack and Ivy had realized, after working with her, just how much damage Julia could've done to their operation if she had wanted.

She could hear the excited talk of the twins in the other room. A fond look stole itself on her face. For all the teasing and jabs that happened, they were still family. Somehow. She shook her head and left the bathroom after changing.

"Where do you want to go?" Carmen asked.

"I don't know. Let's just see where we'll find ourselves."

Carmen offered her arm, Julia accepted.

Carmen leaned down to whisper in her ear. "You alright, Jules?"

"I am now. Thank you." Carmen pressed her lips to Julia's temple, before they left the room together.

"It's good enough." That's what I had to really learn.

Because of my past I tend to be a perfectionist and try to hold my work to standards that would be impossible to achieve for anyone else. And because I learned to work quickly and with high quality I can usually achieve much higher quality work in the same time as others. But it's not healthy to move the goals to such high standards and expect to meet those each and every time.

I had to learn that my "good" is "perfect" in other peoples eyes. And my "meh, it's okay" is still "higher than usual" quality for others. I needed to learn to reframe my mindset. I needed to compare my work with others. And usually I was better and suddenly everyone expected me to always deliver that high standard, which shifted my "good job" to do an even better job. Until I finally understood that this was not sustainable, because normal people who do a normal job don't need to "do better" all the time and their work is still enough.

And sometimes enough is enough. You don't need more than enough. And "good enough" is enough.

This is making me think. I change my scope and criteria all the time. Even in something as simple as picking out the worst strawberries from a group. First I'll pick out the obvious bad ones. Then once all of those are removed, the criteria is changed because there are not extremes to pull out. I went up culling ones that were just fine.

I do this in all kinds of areas of my life. I make myself worse for it. I need to stop "picking out the bad things". Cause guess what. I'm eliminating ones that are just fine. It's good enough

You are working the gate in the afterlife and for the first time ever, something the humans built has shown up to be processed. You’re not sure what to do, this… entity shouldn’t have a soul, but here it is in front of you, freshly dead and awaiting the next life.

wtf is the marauders fandom istg

u guys love your little death eater characters sm and then turn around and say snape sucks like. okay. you just gave regulus sev’s entire backstory wdym.

ppl who say they love barty and evan r the same ppl who comment ‘stan james potter’ on snape vids on tiktok. as if they themselves r not stanning and babygirlifying ppl who have the exact qualities in snape that they claim to hate

weird ass double standard. like, u can hate snape idc but it’s weird as fuck to go after snape fans when you yourself like death eater characters.

“Oh but there’s not much canon info on them and snape’s a child abuser”

last part is debatable but BARTY LITERALLY ABUSED CHILDREN?? 4TH BOOK?? HELLO??? He tortured an animal in the middle of class, and turned a kid into a ferret and assaulted him?? he was also a death eater?? People will then proceed to make Barty racist and homophobic in their fanon and then be like ‘but he’s repressed and closetted 🥺 poor thing’ do you fucking hear yourselves.

#sometimes people are weird #never understood where marauders fandom came from #“it's their dissociation and i am not their therapist” #gonna borrow that one #always went with “live and let live” in regards to other people in the fandom #but i guess as a fandom old i just have a different mindset
