The most realistic part of Portal is when the only man Chell interacts with calls her bossy when she literally doesn't speak

lovely character. i need him to finally break down sobbing clutching his chest like it'll stop the pain crumpling to the floor begging God to either help him or let him die

What scene in any fic are you most proud about and why?

There are two that come to mind:

—aureia and aymeric's romance scene in Divergence of the Heart

This one was personal for a few reasons, but I think the thing that is most compelling to me about Aureia and Aymeric is the imbalance in their relationship. He loves her more than she can love him, but she enters a relationship with him anyway because in this moment he is exactly what she needs. Their first night together does not go as planned; there are issues, there are surprises, unexpected things that crop up that they then have to navigate around.

I think as much as I love the fantasy of the big sweeping romance around how romantic couples are usually written, I really wanted to explore something else. There is more than one way to explore intimacy, and this was important for this particular fic.

—aureia's struggle with light-poisoning and the argument thancred has with ryne afterwards in The Heart's a Withered Fortress

This is probably one of my favourite fics I have ever written, and it's not just because I am constantly spinning Thancred around in the microwave watching him cook. There's a moment of pause after Crown of the Immaculate, and I really wanted to dig into what that looked like for the man who cannot stop moving. Thancred doesn't have a solution to what is going on, Aureia is being stubborn and trying to resolve things on her own by experimenting with her healing abilities from red magic and it doesn't go well—it's the perfect recipe for them to come to some realizations they have been trying to ignore for a while.

I also love poking at Thancred and Ryne's relationship, and how Aureia's presence has affected that and shifted the dynamic. The three of them are so stubborn; I think Ryne in particular adds the balance that has been missing, and by this point she's not afraid to butt heads with him.

Thanks for asking, anon!

Questions for fic writers

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

I'm gonna cheat and share a bit from a WIP because I won't be able to finish and post this one for eight million years but it's one of my favorite bits I've written for Shadowbringers. (Spoilers, obviously.)

Urianger made a florid bow. “Dost thou seek the sorcerer’s wisdom, young one?”

If it weren’t for what had been gnawing at her since the Rak’tika Greatwood, she would have laughed and played along. Now Ariane forced a smile.

“Certainly, should he deign to part with it,” she said sharply, before she could think better of it.

Urianger’s playful smile faltered, and Ariane turned to follow after Thancred, but the look in her friend’s eyes lingered with her.

He looked as though she’d just kicked him.

It's fine. This is fine. They'll be fine. :)
