Just reached 22000 words on this Ryoma-centric fic I've been working on. Im actually really proud of how much I've been able to get done. Unfortunately, it seems like the end product will be much longer and more in-depth than I thought it would be... Seems like this will be a slow-burn behemoth.

Hey guys! Saga from my discord server when I realized I predicted canon subject matter!!

I must have this on record. I must.

“Eddie, I don’t think I’ll ever stop falling in love with you. So - twice, ten times, a hundred… however many you need. I’m yours for however long forever is.”

[private-bryan]

What's that? A random Maureen Malarkey cameo and a Doctor Who reference all in one chapter?

Tom Seidmann Freud (1892-1930)

Tom Seidmann Freud, nee Martha Freud, a children's book illustrator and author celebrated for her deceptively simple yet modern style. An eccentric niece of Sigmund Freud, she was born in Vienna in 1892 and moved with her family nine years later to Berlin. She was an artistically gifted child, at fifteen changed her name to Tom (allegedly to avoid sexism she might encounter as a female artist). She eventually studied art, first in London and then in Berlin and in Munich, where she focused on Art Nouveau illustration.

From 1914 to her death at thirty-eight in 1930, she published nearly a dozen books of her own and contributed illustrations to others. Today, nearly one hundred years late, her artwork looks surprisingly contemporary with its simple, folk art aesthetic and fantastical story lines about rabbit words, talking fish, and magic boats. Her illustrations are childish but not babyish, and surreal while also being thoughtful and narrative.

Strikingly fresh in its day, Seidmann-Freud's work was an example of how seriously people took children's literature as an art form. While Seidmann-Freud wrote, and illustrated her own stories, she also illustrated classical fairy tales, such as those by Brothers Rimm and Hanns Christian Andersen, in her Ten Tales for Children. She released her most well-known children's book, Die Fishreise (The Fish's Journey), in 1923.

Seidmann-Freud created her illustrations using the ancient pochoir technique that was experiencing a revival. She drew the figures, foreground, and background with ink and then overlaid watercolors using stencils. Seidmann-Freud experimented with several different kinds of children's books, including ABC books, songbooks, game books, and movable books such as Das Wunderhaus (The House of Wonders, 1927) and Das Zauberboot (The Magic Boat, 1929), subtitled "a book to Turn and Move." She also produced a series of counting books known for their typographical innovation, one of which was chosen for the Museum of Modern art's 2012 exhibition Century of the child: Growing by Design, 19000-2000, in New York.

In the early 1920s, she and her husband, writer and journalist Jakob Seidmann, founded publishing house Perergrin Verlag in Berlin. It was named after the main character in The Fish's Journey, who seeks to overcome his outsider status by escaping to a dreamlike utopia. Tragically, the demise of their publishing venture in the wake of 1929 global financial collapse led to her husband's suicide, and in 1930, to her own. (Their seven-year-old daughter, Angela, went to live with Tom's sister, the actress Lily Freud, and her husband in Hamburg, before they all moved to Prague in 1939. Angela, (Aviva) emigrated to Israel just before the outbreak if Word War II).

Seidmann-Freud died the same year that the liberal democracy in Germany, the Weimar Republic, started its frenzied downward descent. Until Hitler took dictatorial control in 1933, her work continued to receive accolades from her peers, including the legendary literary critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin. Because she was Jewish, however, by 1933 her books began to disappear.

Despite the Nazis destruction of "suspect" literature, and her untimely death, copies of her innovative children's books have survived as an important part of the history of avant-garde book-making in twentieth century Europe.

One more fanfic text was just finished to be revised: Litten's Narrative's "The Foreigner" chapter is now updated in its version 1.4!

I did plenty of significant dialogue and scene changes, improved the English and took the opportunity to include Gen. XIX lore in it.

I have no predictions about when I will revise the 4th chapter (Therapy at the Park) but once it happens I'll let you know!

Enjoy the reading! ✨

in the night we trust [9-1-1 | Buck/Eddie | 3/4]

Rating: Explicit Wordcount: ~ 6700 this chapter / ~19000 total Warnings: None Other tags: Porn with plot; Sharing a bed; Idiots in love; First kiss; First time; Feelings realization (eventually) Summary: Eddie and Buck start sleeping together when they’re all stuck at Buck’s place during lockdown. It still takes them almost three years to notice that they’re in love.

Chapter Three on AO3

Dating Ana is easy.

Or—easy isn’t exactly the word. Dating Ana is complicated in ways that he hadn’t really considered before he asked her out, because the last time he tried this, he was eighteen and falling in love with his best friend, the future wide-open ahead of them, and now he’s approaching thirty and his life is necessarily constrained in a thousand different ways he never could have imagined back then.

“I know there hasn’t been anyone since his mother died,” Ana says on their third date. They’re at her place, shoes off, wine glasses half-empty on the table, and Eddie might be out of practice at this, inasmuch as he was ever in practice to start with, but he’s not completely oblivious to the look she gave him earlier when she let him in and poured the wine. Tonight could easily end in her bed, if he wanted it to.

But he’s not ready for that. Not yet.

She’s not wrong, is the thing. Eddie hasn’t dated anyone, seriously or otherwise, since Shannon. He hasn’t brought home a girlfriend to introduce to Chris. He hasn’t even broached the idea of it, which is starting to feel like an oversight that’s going to come back and bite him sooner or later.

There was Buck for a little while, but that’s different. He’s not dating Buck. He was never dating Buck. They spent two months in lockdown having sex pretty at pretty much every opportunity, but that was just…situational. Convenient. Something easy while the world was falling apart around them. Eddie moved back home, and they’ve settled back into the familiar comfort of their old dynamic without a whisper of protest. Neither of them ever pushed for it to be anything more than what it was.

Eddie sleeps in his own bed again, and he sleeps there alone.

Buck’s babysitting tonight, for chrissake. Three hours ago he straightened Eddie’s collar and shooed him out the door with a teasing grin and a discreet thumbs-up, like any good friend would.

So it’s not relevant. But Eddie still hesitates. Ana smiles up at him, careful and sweet. She really is beautiful, Eddie thinks, and it feels like a line somehow even though he hasn’t said it out loud. Even though it is, objectively, the truth.

“Yeah,” he says eventually, and smiles, and reaches for his wine.

So, maybe easy isn’t the word.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

This was much harder than I’d thought it would be! It did, however, give me a dorky excuse to spend an otherwise grumpy-bad afternoon re-reading some things, which I’ve not done in—I don’t know, actually—I don’t really re-read my own things very often at all? If ever, in many cases. (Love swinging between “Christ, this author has some hard-to-parse sentences sometimes” and “sure does like a lot of the same things as me, though!!” XD)

Anyway! in no particular order:

not a roof but a field of stars TKA (LA), An Wenyi/Mo Fan/Qiao Yifan, 19000 words, rated E. Summary: An Wenyi buys himself an apartment, specifically to be on his own for once—only to end up inviting Mo Fan and Qiao Yifan to share it with him.

the older the ginger (the spicier it gets) TKA (LA), Qiao Yifan/Wei Chen, 12000 words, rated E. Summary: Qiao Yifan goes to Wei Chen for sex lessons. Wei Chen gets more than he’d bargained for. (The silliest, most shameless fic, and one I had a huge amount of fun writing. God but I wish other people would write this pairing for me XD)

everything that i’ve imagined TKA (LA), Gao Yingjie/Qiao Yifan, 9k words, rated E. Summary: In which Qiao Yifan is so fever-sick he thinks Gao Yingjie—who has come to help take care of him—isn’t really there; accidental confessions ensue. (A huge favourite, in no small part because me fretting about it is how I got myself a @geniuskaktus in my DMs <3).

free pass TKA (frankencanon), Gao Yingjie/Qiao Yifan, 12,000 words, rated E. Summary: Drunken shenanigans after Xu Bin’s wedding, featuring a pining Qiao Yifan deciding that a one night stand would surely be better than never being with Gao Yingjie at all. Also featuring Gao Yingjie’s hand kink.

Never Meant To Be The Rescue Crew TKA, Luo Ji & Baozi, 2k words, rated T. Summary: Space AU, written for Masquerade, and one of those stories that makes me go feral in a Why Don't I Write More Things Like This kinda way.
