What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

It’ll never not be heartbreaking how little Arab lives mean to anyone with the power to truly change anything

if i lead

The words are stolen from Feliciano’s lips in a terrific rush of joy, his mouth dropping and tears welling up in his eyes as he comes face to face with the brother he’s spent the past four years of his life searching for. There aren’t words in any language he knows that truly express how thankful he is to see him, knowing that all of his effort wasn’t in vain because Lovino is here and he’s alive--! Lovino, however, doesn’t seem to share the sentiment.

This scene is kicking my ass so heres a snippet;

Barty was gone— fucking hammered. Two sheets to the wind, and the joint he was lighting on his balcony wasn’t helping. He struggled against the wind, his fingers shaky. Eventually it lit, and the strength of the high had him slumped in a chair, sucking the joint, greedy for more.  He and Evan were at a club— some underground thing in Knockturn Alley, filled with werewolves and vampires, and a surprisingly handsome looking Goblin alone at the bar. Music was loud there— and everyone was dancing, and fuck if the bartender knew how to pour a drink, Barty was fucked within the first hour they were there, and Evan kept nosing at his neck as he hummed,” Do you want another, B?”  And then they were dancing, if you could really call it that. The music deep and slow, the crowd more drunkenly kissing each other, or getting off in a slow grind. Evan had a thigh between Barty’s, and Barty had his hands firm on Evan's ass as they danced.  It was blinding, being that close, their dark marks glamoured, as Barty got to take in Evan in that vest, with low rise jeans, his pale skin on full display, the bruises Barty had pressed into his neck— his chest, were on clear display for anyone in there, and Barty was a few seconds away of begging Evan to go at it with him right there, in the crowded club.  Evan pulled away, barely inches as he said,” Do you wanna go home.” He breathed it into Barty’s ear, something wet and hot that had Barty squeezing his ass with nothing more than a pathetic,”Please,” leaving his mouth.  They had taken another shot before they left— which Barty realised only when it was put into his hand that Evan had ordered doubles, and nearly fell on his ass at the burn of the tequila. Evan and him left quickly after that—and Barty you see was expecting something, if not fucking Evan, then getting off in the shower, or at least Evan letting him blow him, though as if the universe was out to get him, Evan had pulled away from Barty in the front hallway of his apartment, and with a greenish tint to his cheeks muttered,” Oh fuck,” And ran off to the bathroom, Barty heard him throwing up a few seconds later.  He took that as a hint, dizzy and beside himself, Barty took refuge on his balcony, trying to smoke away his hardon, and instead finding himself incapable of moving, his joint the last thing grounding him, though he smoked like it was.  Evan found him, still sloshed and something a little shy when he came out onto the balcony, Barty now fully gone, could offer no more than a helpless wave.  Evan laughed, his cheeks pink, and straddled Barty in his chair, digging into Barty’s jeans till he found his pack of cigarettes. He pulled one out, throwing the pack uncaringly onto their table, and Barty managed enough to pull out his lighter, holding it as still as he could while Evan brought the tip of the cigarette to it.  Evan pulled away and took a long drag, Barty flicked away his joint and found his hands on Evan's ass. Barty wanted to pull him back to his bed, and wake Regulus and fuck the both of them till he was nothing more than what he left inside them.

Oomf I'm busy catching up on ur fic and you've done 265k words which is roughly 700 pgs if physically published. How does that make u feel?

anon... i think about this fact daily.

i own crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky. ive held that book in my hands. ive seen how big that book is. ive read like. a handful of pages.

let sleeping dogs lie is longer than that.

early on when writing i had a cute idea of learning how to book-bind to make myself a physical copy of it and now i cant do it. thats so long. i'd need to split it into two parts. or three. or by chapter.

ive been writing this fic for a year this month and i still can't believe durgetash of all things has made me write a book LONGER than crime and punishment.

it's a treat for you guys who want a long fic to settle into but i can't comprehend that this is something i've done (and i do really enjoy reading comments of people who binge read the fic in a few days. shoutout to my friend who said she was going to wait for me to finish the fic and then decided to read the fic in smth like 2 days?? 3 days?? youre insane for that)

i didnt plan for it to get so long!!! im incapable of writing a short and sweet story!! it blows my mind every time i see the word count grow!! i edit! i cut things out! there's scenes that had to be scrapped because i said to myself "this is getting too long" it makes me go aaaaaaaaaa!!

it's looking like we may hit just under 300k words when it's properly finished. i need to go bury myself under some dirt for a year

also in the early days i was writing 10k words A WEEK!!! i had a weekly-ish upload schedule!!!!! what's wrong with me!!!! now im taking my time to make sure i dont burn out but oh my god. past me you are mad.

thank you anyone who's ever looked at my fic on the ao3 tag for durgetash and has gone "wow. that author is out of their mind" because you are RIGHT!

and also big thank you to anyone who's reading or is caught up with the fic. i owe you my life actually. its a labour of love and the fact that anyone went "lets read a book" means the world to me <3<3
