hii omg !! im not sure if this is the same author but if it isn’t pls ignore 😭

but anyways, i love your twiyor fics sm! especially your writing style! i was actually wondering how you developed it if you don’t mind sharing. i always wanted to write fics of my own, i’m just so insecure about my writing :( would love some writing tips

omg hellooo!! yes dw it is me :) i'm glad you like them ahhh tysm <33

ooh thats an interesting question hehe so i guess for me, one of the main things was to just keep writing. like, i've been doing it since last march and i can see the improvements ig? also reading over my work helped me a lot to figure out what i necessarily didn't like as much, what i'm a bit rusty on, and what i feel better at writing about. then, i'd find fics on what i want to be better at, and kinda study how the othe author did it? it won't work for everyone, but i find that over time i remembered some of the phrases and tweaked them to make them something that fits my fic

(overall, just read back on your work when it's finished :))

sometimes, i focus on certain techniques to use in a fic, especially if it's new and i want to practice. like, maybe metaphors or repetition or a certain theme. in stars in her eyes, my focus was something around intimacy and all that jazz, so i wrote specifically about it and whenever i trailed off, i'd go back to writing about it. it helps me keep on track to have a focus and i get a solid amount of practice on it!!

if you want to write fic i think you should definitely try! there's no pressure to post, though if you did i'd love to read it :) because it's YOUR fic, you can experiment until you find something you're proud of, and there aren't any expectations. start small if you're not confident, and just see where it goes ig <3

thanks for the askkk sorry for word vomiting lol

And just like that, Nico begins to simply notice, as if the night before had been the starting domino to a very, very long line of revelations. 

How he rolls his rs and the way he chuckles to himself, the glow of his blonde– actually, scratch that, fucking golden hair and the sprinkle of freckles along his nose, shoulders, arms. His southern accent that slips into his voice whenever he’s mad, angry or focussed. 

Nico finds, more often than before, that the focus actually seems to be on him for once. 

He doesn’t know how to feel about it– he’s never been the centre of attention. It’s startlingly new, a foreign concept altogether. 

The warmth that pools into his stomach each time Will says his name, the skeletal butterflies soaring into Nico’s chest, all of it– they are sensations that he has yet to get used to.  

“Hey, Death Boy!”

Apparently, a certain son of Apollo doesn’t intend on giving him any time to adjust. 

“Don’t call me that.”

“What?” Will asks innocently, tilting his head. It should be noted that Nico absolutely does not find this endearing. “Death Boy?”

“Whatever, sunshine.” 

“Oh my gods!” he laughs, loud and bright, all sunlight and liquid joy. 

Nico reddens– not blushing, he tells himself, cringing at the mere thought– before staring at his worn out Converse, muttering, “Can we delete the last three minutes from our memory?” 

“Why’d you want to do that?” Will exclaims, grinning. “We have nicknames now!”

“Shut up, Solace.”

And maybe Nico’s feeling embarrassed as fuck, maybe his cheeks won’t stop burning, maybe he feels like he’s on godly fire, but maybe when Will laughs it makes up for all of it. Maybe.
