Hi @lya-dustin here 💙💙

So id love to see the Mormont siblings ft my oc, Aemma Velaryon who is Jace's elder half sister.

(Whether Aemma is paired off with Cregan or Aemond is up to you)

in this au, jace lives to be king and thus lynn's second and third marriages never happen

The wedding had been a fabulous one. Jacaerys was now king, and to presevere peace, had married Aemma Velaryon to Cregan Stark. Rodrik had been, as promised, married to Baela.

As the bedding ceremony came closer, Aurynn noticed that she wasn't the only one eyeing the bride...and groom for the matter. And they eyed them as well. As Aemma stripped down to commence the ceremony, Jace chuckled, amused “Perhaps this arrangement shouldn't be so dreadful.” She agreed.

Guys. It’s 5 AM and I have two exams, a lab, an interview, and a concert today, I’ve gotten no sleep, and yet in the time I was meant to be sleeping, all I could think about was Rosegarden because of course they take up any and all down time I get but

Guys.

What if. At the end of it all. Salem and Ozma have departed the world. The gods have left for good. Everyone is standing in one place, uncertain. And someone asks, “so… what do we do now?” And Ruby and Oscar look at each other and say at the same time, “whatever we’d like”

BECAUSE THEIR CHARACTERS ARE FOILS OF OZMA AND SALEM AND WHEN THEY FINALLY REACHED THEIR GOALS TWICE THATS WHAT THEY SAID BUT FIRST IT WAS OZMA AND THEN IT WAS SALEM BUT THIS TIME ITLL BE OSCAR AND RUBY AND ITLL COME FULL CIRCLE AND-

The Princess's Heart (7/7)

Long ago, the ancient land of Hyrule was ruled by forces at the realm’s edge.

I Know You...

Link wasn't sure what to expect when he unlocked the next chamber.

Dreaming of You

The bold light of the sun is nearly swallowed by the sea, crossing into the reflection that dances across the water’s surface.

Forget-Me-Not (4/8)

“I, Zelda of Hyrule, pledge my role as the Sage of Light.”

Stay

Ravio uncomfortably steps past two armored strangers along Lorule Castle’s east skybridge.

Tulip

In the heart of Kokiri Forest, three children pass through the dense woods.

My Sun

The traces of morning rain leaves a dim yellow-green sky over Hyrule.

Origins of Calamity (1/?)

A peculiar silhouette was outlined by the twilight that beamed through the skyward Temple of Time.

Oats

Emerald eyes slowly drift open, met with soft daylight through a window and strands of golden hair blocking it out.

Promise

Twilight is choked by dark clouds over a rising red moon.

༺

I notice I like setting the scene... especially with light involved. I love imagery I suppose!

Let's do Otto and Evelyne for 10 lines. Keyword: Storm

“Who's winning, pray tell?” The baritone voice interrupted her.

Evelyne looked up at the person she hated most: Otto Hightower. She scoffed “Does it matter?” The storm brewed outside, rumbling within King's Landing.

“If you can't win against yourself in chess, Lady Evelyne, then you ought to retire from courtly life.”

Evelyne gestured to the desk, defiant “I'm happy to prove you wrong.” He sat down, and the battle commenced.

I'll go with the last 10 I included on a03, in order from most to least recently updated. Fic links included.

The Light Dragon wove along the plane of eternity between cloud and star, ceaseless, calm, certain, her reason for being etched deep within her mind by the point of a shining sword, age after age of continuance passing as cycles of constellations rose and fell within the blink of her great eyes—so long their shapes shifted from fox to dog, goddess to princess, demon to boar, the stars aging along with the land beneath them, though the dragon herself did not. (When It Sounded Like Joy)

2. She stared at the sea, as blue as his eyes. (The Horizon Cannot Come To Me, and @jdetan wrote this line, not me, I used the prompt as the first line of the fic 😆).

3. Link was extremely pleased he had his own arm back. (Eternal)

4. Sheik stared down at the Hero of Idiocy. (No Expectations)

5. So close! (Adventure Log+)

6. At first, Zelda thought nothing of it. (The Seeds of Love, Well Worn)

7. Absence wound cold between the rustle of gowns on the 17th winter solstice since Zelda’s birth. (Black Flowers Blossom)

8. She decided at the edge of a moment to hide from him. (Inevitable)

9. Link peeked into the cavemouth flickering with torchlight, relieved to see an old man inside and not a moblin. (A Public Service)

10. “Alright, Princess,” Link said with his hands on his hips and a sideways pull to his lips which might have been a smirk (or a grimace, or a smirk in attempt to conceal a grimace, or the other way around). (Motivation)

So far, the biggest pattern I see is I've done a lot of prompt-based writing 😂 - only Adventure Log+ is *entirely*unprompted in this list. 8 was only prompted in the sense that there was a challenge to write something nsfw to post on Thanksgiving. All the others? Some kind of prompt/event.

The lines from 3 and 4 certainly share a tone!

Time and Again Chapter 24: She didn’t know what she was expecting.

The Ones Unknown: Zevlor, Silfy… (I'm going to just count this work once, although I wrote three pieces for it)

Time and Again Chapter 23: “I’m home,” Renorash called, stepping inside the house. (and I have no recollection of when I posted these chapters otherwise so we'll go back to individual works)

Moon and Stars: “So do I need to head back to the hut tonight, or do I get to see the rest of your place?”

Inevitability: “You were wonderful, as always.”

Her Son: When Ikaron was a baby, he was absolutely perfect.

The Price of Tav's Love: He welcomes you into the room, a smile on his face.

Only One Tent: Zevlor was not an unintelligent man.

In the Wake of the Tailor' Death: These people weren’t fighters.

Yield: “The Tiefling is a problem.”

Analysis:

I like to start fics with short, punchy statements to grab attention right away. When I personally read anything, be it printed book or fic, a rambling first sentence loses me really quickly. I figured other people were probably the same.

Surprised I don't start with dialogue more often, but, then again, at some point I recognized that was a crutch for me and have been trying to change it.

I posted 9 fic on ao3 so I will add one ficlet from Tumblr. I also put it not chronological

I was always in front of you 

Eddie knows he should rest. It’s a miracle his ribs weren’t actually broken. He’s discharged and should go home, as it’s already quite late. 

I wanna be yours

Put on something fancy and be ready by seven. I'll come to get you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go 

It’s raining heavily outside, so Buck and Eddie had to change their plans for a trip to the bar after their shift . 

We have time (let's use all of it)

Buck can feel how Hen keeps looking at him. Yes, she didn't clean him, and he probably has a concussion, cause even though he has not the greatest knowledge of medicine, he is familiar with the symptoms.

We are family (let`s buy pajamas to prove it) 

A week. Eddie tried to find the perfect way to ask Buck to marry him for a week. It should be something cute and romantic, but also something only for them.

Showers and pranks 

Chimney Han is not the guy who seeks revenge. But his brother-in-law crossed all boundaries a week ago. 

The story about plushies and love

“Evan Diaz, if you buy one more plush to occupy my spot on the bed I'm kicking you out to sleep on the couch”, Eddie`s voice pulls Buck out of the trance,

Eternity in your hands

Buck still can`t believe it. His little girl sleeps peacefully on his chest with his big hands on her back. She was born a week ago, at home for three days.

Buck and forgotten medicine

Buck knows he has forgotten to do something this morning. Something not really big and life-changing, but still important.

your smell drives me crazy 

Buck never thought one of his favorite things in his partner for him would be their smell, but Eddie just smells so good.

Auditory processing issues suck SO HARD. I just spent about 1.5 hours watching the first half hour of a movie on YouTube, because I had so much trouble understanding the dialogue that I kept constantly having to go back and listen again and again and again, look up a transcript of the full film (the transcript contained mistakes, so it wasn't much help), compare and contrast various subtitle files available online, even cup my hands around my ears, etc. Just to figure out what the characters were saying to each other.

And it's not just literally understanding what words they say to each other, oh no. That's only the first step. The next step is figuring out what those characters MEAN when they say certain words. Like when a dude says "You know, I see, like, if we can get successful, it's, like, L-L, man… limos and Learjets," I feel like I'm having a stroke. I have to hit pause and sit there for a sec and ask myself a bunch of questions and do some research online.

Why did he say L-L? Why did he randomly say the initials of the two things he wants? Also, why does he specifically say 'Learjet'? When people dream of having a private jet, don't they normally say 'private jet'? I'd never heard the word Learjet before, so I had to go look it up to try to get more context, but that didn't really help. Is this a music biz reference I don't know? Is this a Canadian reference I don't know? If this happened once or twice during a movie, it would be no problem, but when I'm stopping and going back literally every two minutes, it takes for-fucking-ever to get through the film and my brain is So! Fucking! Exhausted!

I had to stop at about the half-hour mark. I felt like I was about to cry from frustration, so I quit for the night. I'll return to it in a day or two, when I've got a bit more mental energy, and try to work my way through the rest. If I can get through half an hour of film time per day (in an hour or so, however long it takes to get through that much), I can finish the movie in three days of watching. (And this is a movie I really, really WANT to see. I wouldn't waste a moment of my time struggling through it if I didn't care this much about it.)

Anyway. Sometimes when people say they "don't watch movies much", it doesn't necessarily mean they're being elitist snobs or whatever. Sometimes it's just so fucking challenging and exhausting to watch a movie that it leaves me feeling angry at my own body for being a dysfunctional piece of crap. I don't know if this counts as a "disability" and I'm not claiming that label because I don't want to step on any toes, but I have to admit that the mere prospect of watching a film often fills me with dread because it can be so intensely difficult for me (unless I just mentally check out and give up on understanding it completely, which is what I typically do when I'm watching with other people).

For a holiday (and forevermore) (fake dating, ongoing wip)

Eddie is not really looking forward to the holidays with his family this year.

me, you, our kid and a dog

It starts as a random remark on a sunny Sunday afternoon when the three of them are at the park.

what a mighty good man

Buck has been running around the firehouse, frantically looking through every nook and cranny, since they came back from their last call, looking for his lost phone.

Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

The kitchen is filled with sounds of conversations and laughter, and music in Spanish that Eddie tries to sing along to, but he’s very off-key, and doesn't know all the lyrics, which in turn causes Buck and Chris to make fun of him.

I'd marry you with paper rings

It’s a late evening, the house is quiet, Christopher is fast asleep already, having been tucked in by them both, was out like a light as soon as his head hit the pillow. The kitchen is dark, only the small light over the stove illuminating the space, while Buck and Eddie sit at the table, bottles of beer in hands.

stuck with each other

Eddie’s not sure how or when it starts. All he knows is that suddenly wherever he turns in his own kitchen, he finds plenty of new, weird, very unnecessary – in his opinion – gadgets and appliances, and their amount only continues to grow, and it’s all Buck’s fault.

kiss it better

It’s a regular evening in the Diaz household, no different than any other. Christopher is playing video games in the living room, Buck’s cooking dinner, and Eddie, well… Eddie tries to find something to do in the kitchen as well, to not just blatantly stare at Buck the whole time.

you're the one I want

Eddie comes home to the TV quietly playing in the living room, and faint sounds of someone moving around the kitchen. A wide smile immediately pulls at his lips, as he takes his suit jacket off and walks towards the noise.

me and you only equals love 

Eddie's not sure what it is about Buck knowing math – he's not even sure it's about math at all, maybe it's how confident he acts, maybe it's that he seems almost back to his old, carefree pre-lightening self, even for a moment, and they're finally just purely having fun together again. And maybe it's a little bit how amazing he looks right now in that suit, and how he looks at Eddie with a smirk and a knowing glance – which is probably what gives them away the most, to be honest, but Eddie can't bring himself to care, because the way Buck's looking at him makes him feel hot all over. 

I can't love you any more (than I do now) 

Eddie's pretty sure he and Buck are dating. 

Well, maybe not in so many words.
