WIP Tag Game

I was tagged by the lovely @a-very-fond-farewell! Thank you so much, darling 💜

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs

I did this tag a year ago (almost to the day) but some things have changed since then, so here we go! Though I will point out that there are a couple of ideas for fics/WIPs that didn't make it onto this list, simply because I don't have a file for them yet or because they've been on hiatus for several years. I want the list to be as accurate as possible, so I'm only adding ones I'm currently thinking about working on. The ones that have one or more chapters posted already will be linked to.

And I will be listing them in order of fandom, just because.

A New Dawn (Begins With Us) — Black Knight (Ongoing)

The Devil's Due — The Devil Judge (On hiatus)

The Gentle Light — The Devil Judge (Ongoing)

Gravitational Pull 2 — The Devil Judge (Ongoing)

How to Build a Family for Dummies — The Devil Judge (On hiatus, working title x'D )

Realign (Shift My Universe) — The Devil Judge (Ongoing)

I think what really drew me in to twilight when I was a teenager is that, despite the epic vampire whirlwind romance, the teenagers actually do feel like they have REAL lives, and it’s a real shame that that doesn’t translate to the movies (bc a movie with pointless scenes of the main character making enchiladas & doing homework would be crazy boring). I like that Edward enjoys skipping class to sit in his car & listen to Linkin Park CDs, I like that Bella spends her weekends doing laundry and drafting her Macbeth essay, and on sunny days she lays out a blanket to read in her backyard. I like that she drives to her best friend’s house after school to watch him fix cars and do homework together, I like that they have joint family dinners that are just eating spaghetti on fold-out chairs on the deck. I like that her friend group piles in mike’s mom’s van to go hang out at the beach, and when she brings a camera to school they all start a “picture war.” I like that she has a part-time retail job and sits at the kitchen table filling out uni applications with her boyfriend. It definitely loses that quality around eclipse when the focus has to stay on the actual plot, but I like that twilight & new moon feel pretty grounded in what introverted lower-middle class small-town teenagers are actually doing.

Cammie hasn't written a new update in the Madison and Belladonna stories for a while and we really need to fix that.

For those interested they're a series of hypnokink stories about the brewing hypnotic romance between an old pair of asexual hypnokinky friends, one of whom is plural. The goal is to show some romantic kink play in a realistic setting laced with the lived experience of someone with dissociative identity disorder.

(Some elements may or may not be borrowed generously from reality)

It's hosted on Read Only Mind. So far there are 19 updates. Just over 100'000 words.

Here's an exert from the latest chapter:

-

“I can go deeper. So I must go deeper.” Donna reminded firmly. “Say it.”

“I can go deeper. I must go deeper.” Madison repeated.

“Again.” Donna commanded, “Noticing just how much hazier you feel for doing it. Again. Noticing how much fuzzier your mind becomes. Keep going. And with every word spoken you let go more. You can go deeper. You will go deeper. No thoughts. No stress. No worries at all. Just allowing yourself to let go completely and totally. Easily and effortlessly. More and more with every passing repetition.”

Donna watched the screen as Madison settled back into her childhood bed and softly repeated the phrase that she had been compelled to repeat. Her eyes drifted closed and the words continued to pour out of her lips.

There was always a rush of energy she felt in her soul when her beloved was fully in her power, the way that she looked so open, vulnerable and was being piloted by Donna’s intention alone. It was like magic come to life.

“That’s it, my dear, everything is as it should be. Just notice me taking care of you. Guiding you down. Helping all that stress melt away. You can just keep repeating that phrase for me, my beloved, just like that…” the words came easy and with every one spoken Donna felt emboldened. It really did feel sometimes that performing hypnosis scenes was a daunting task until she hit her stride, then she slipped into a small trance of her own and all of the voices and conflicting emotions just faded away and she could perform her magic.

With her spirits heightened she continued on, easing Madison’s stresses and making her feel safe and cared for as best as her words were able to offer, reminding that she would soon return home to Saph and would soon have a chance to see her and that such things would help her through the week.

Madison repeated her mantra like the docile obedient hypnotee she was, completely compliant. ‘Can go deeper, must go deeper’, though it was too soft for the microphone to pick it up. As Madison mumbled she broke into a dreamy smile and Donna’s confidence bolstered further, she was riding the high and inspiration took hold. She had been saving a little trick for the hypnosis convention but this unexpected airport visit was an opportunity and a temptation which simply could not be denied.

“And in three short days we shall see one another, my love, and I am very much looking forward to the time we get to spend.” she took a moment and listened to her heart, waiting to see if there were any internal objections. Complete silence. “We had discussed some plans that I was hoping to do during the convention next month and we have a chance to make something fun happen now, should you be willing. I want you to know that  I want you to remain safe, my love, and you will always heighten your safety and happiness over any shenanigans we have in mind, you can do this and you will do this, won’t you?”

“Can go deeper, must go deeper…”

This would normally be the point where the rush that came with scenes like this hit a Bell shaped stumbling block, questioning the ethics of such suggestions. Inside her mind the silence persisted.

“A while back I had mentioned the glamour charm. The idea of performing a Fae glamour spell to bewitch your senses and have you perceive me as so impossibly alluring and enticing… to have my skin glow, my voice echo, my scent mingle in with your senses and bespell you. Captivated by my charms and unable to resist as I become so impossibly beautiful and seductive that you cannot help but be swayed. Cannot help but become bewitched. Enchanted. Enamored.”

Madison’s serene expression almost seemed to swoon at the concept.

“And the moment you lay your eyes on me at the airport you could imagine a dial where I set my glamour going all the way up to a 10. Irresistible and undeniable. Because you know I must keep it low to enjoy day-to-day life but in that moment in that airport you’ll see me in all my glorious beauty. Glamour at a 10. And I can set that dial however I see fit… oh how you’ll be charmed and besotted once I lay eyes on you.”

She could hear a whimper emit between repetitions of the mantra. She was sure of it.

“And feeling my glamour spell claim your heart and mind. Like each of my words simply make so much more sense and my presence is simply undeniable. Doesn’t it feel good to be guided by such a charming and irresistible Fae. So easy to be lured and to go along and succumb further to my charms while helplessly following. When I beckon you will simply be drawn to follow wherever I lead and oh how I shall lead you, my dear… and there may come a time when you hear me tell you to kiss me and oh such a lovely idea that will seem, it will become such an irresistible desire, a compulsion, a beckoning… so easy to imagine that when I tell you to kiss in that moment it will become the only thing you are able to do… though I may also tell you to freeze.”

She paused a second and confirmed if Madison would lock up or not.

“Not that you need to now, of course, you can resume breathing and letting yourself relax comfortably in this moment, but when we are together and I tell you to freeze you may notice how your mind and body simply cannot resist, even if you wanted something so so very much, like to kiss me fiercely, your body could not and would not comply. An order must be followed, even if you have a compulsion, isn’t that right, my love?”

Madison mumbled her mantra but her head bobbed up and down.

“And should this be a lovely and enticing thing for you then I give you permission to let it lurk in the back of your mind, secret and safe until I compel you to remember. Just picture a little box with my name on it and you can put all thoughts of this lovely little session inside of that box and pack it away nice and safe until I tell you to remember and you can open that box and have all of these lovely memories back…”

The Long Good Friday (1980)

"Alan found him dying. He'd been nailed to the floor."

"When was this, then?"

"Well, it must've been just after you saw him and just before Alan saw him. Otherwise, you'd have noticed, wouldn't you? I mean, a geezer nailed to the floor. A man of your education would definitely have spotted that, wouldn't he?"

I need her so that she and Turtwig can sit on my shelf and I can come over and give her a little kiss on the top of her head when I’m too stressed to sleep.

i could write an essay on how the character’s clothes in one piece show their emotional journey. i think about it so much.

Dawn Summers was overhated by the fandom. I said what I said.

[blindinghope]

as someone who has loved until dawn since day 1 i was iffy about the remaster especially after the few clips i saw on twitter like it did not live up to my expectations and i was afraid it was gonna ruin the game for me. tho i just watched jettro's gameplay (he is so funny and gets really immersed, new fav youtuber) the first thing i have to say is i cannot believe they changed the "o death" theme song! it was iconic😭😭 also the years later clip of sam is so crazy??? until dawn 2 perhaps...dlc maybe...

Reminds me actually of the sun eye... Not the Sky Eye, the specific eye pattern that Ahi/Lev has uh. occasionally.

[pixelephant]

I was inspired by the SpongeBob poll going around and thinking about the absolute moral PANIC these books caused for some reason lol

[disdaidal]

I was wondering whether you'd have to pay a fortune for the HZD Remaster on a PS5, but apparently, if you already own it on PS4, the upgrade will only cost you $9.99.

Which, I'm sure, is great news for those who are planning to upgrade it. I'm still thinking.

[vault81]

you know what I really wanna remake those houses from Far Cry New Dawn in fallout 4, I think they have such a cool look and would fit right in tbh

[didsomeonesayventus]

thinking about how way to dawn really was like the most iconic keyblade ever that so neatly summarized riku's journey and ideals and had so much meaning and history and so uniquely his and kh3 really threw it away for a fucking car key
