Note

70, 49, 33, 12 💕💕 I hope you're evening gets better Nikachu🥺

thank you ren 🥺 my evening's always better when i get a message from you <3

70. Are you subscribed to any writers on AO3?

i am!! i'm subscribed to all of my closest moots so i never miss any of you updating <3

49. What fic of yours would you say is the best introduction to you as a writer?

oooh damn great question. this was hard because all of my fics feel very different to me, just because i (obviously) was in a different headspace each time. you know what, i think baby, it's bad out there is a good introduction actually. it's not a personal favourite, but it hits several plot beats that i like to write (coffeeshop conversations, protective bucky, alpine) and the plot and humour feel very authentic to a lot of my writing!!

33. Is there a specific word count that you hold yourself to/enjoy writing the most?

i usually always write more than i set out to write. for oneshots i tend to aim somewhere within the 3-5k range, but if it's more or less than that, i don't mind too much. the story is done when it's done. this is kind of different for time after time because i do have a structure that i want to adhere to, and so i have to set the word count a lot higher for each chapter just to fit everything in hahah. i usually assume it'll be around 10k and then we see what happens

12. Do you outline your fics? If yes, how detailed are your outlines? How far do you stray from them?

i think you asked me something simliar to this before so i will elaborate. tl;dr: i don't outline my oneshots, but if i do outline, i'm extra. spoilers for time after time chapters 1-3 below the cut

for my outline, i use this program called notion that nestles what i affectionately refer to as my plot boxes. each of my chapters has its own column, and important story beats get their little box. this is what it looks like:

so the boxes are in chronological order top to bottom as they appear in the chapter. the little number next to the title tells me how many boxes there are. generally i assume there'll be 1k per box in total, but that varies greatly (obviously, the part about the loop starting wasn't 1k). chapter titles are green once they're done, red when i still have to (re)write them, and yellow when i'm currently working on them, and i have the same colour coding in my actual document.

there's little notes for the important things of each part or just stuff i want to remember while writing future chapters (and yes, i only just realised i slightly changed the writing on the arm and never went back to change that, anyway). the little colourful tags tell me what subplot each little box follows, and i can filter the whole thing to show me how each subplot develops over the course of the whole story. once a box is completely (re)written, i tick the little box and move on to the next one. sometimes, i will still move events between chapters and this method really helps me to visualise how that changes things!!

now you're probably able to tell that i don't include everything in my outline; it all depends on how prominent the scene is in my mind. also, stuff still gets cut and i forget to delete it from the outline. like the whole 44 thing from chapter two was gonna be bigger, but then i dropped it. (or did i)

is all of that excessive? yes, immensely. but it helps my brain. i also keep additional notes on the actual timeline of the whole day, on random things i want to keep in mind or incorporate, and i keep all the discarded plot points in a little graveyard down below just in case i want to reuse them in the future.

i think that's it. that's my mad outlining process. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Tumblr Writer Q&A

I don't remember doing this before, so I'm gonna take @chaoticgeminate mention as a tag 😘

1) How many complete fics/one shots do you have that you have not published (yet)?

None. Though I do have three completed chapters of Starman ready to go...

2) How many WIPS do you have right now?

Uhhh. At least ten 😬

3) Do you take writing requests or write original ideas, or both?

Both.

4) If you do take requests, how many do you currently have?

One. From @galacticgraffiti and I am about a third of the way through it.

5) How many fandoms do you write for?

I write exclusively for Pedro Pascal characters (so various fandoms), though if I ever have more time to devote to writing I'd love to write for Doctor Who too.

6) Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you no longer write for?

No, writing fanfic is a relatively new thing for me.

7) Do you write for ships, reader inserts or other?

Started with reader inserts, I'm writing my first OFC right now.

8) Niche fandoms/characters you write for?

Some of Pedro's roles are niche outside of the fandom I guess. I would imagine Bloodsucking Bastards isn't that well known.

9) Do you read fics as well as write them?

Hell yes. There are so many talented writers out there and I thank them all for sharing their beautiful stories with us for free! At the moment I'm finishing up @chaoticgeminate 's wonderful Marcus Moreno story Epiphany.

10) What is your favorite genre to write for?

I adore all kinds of Sci-Fi. I would love to get better at writing horror because I love that too and I think it's difficult to get right. Most of my stories have a romance background because I'm basically just projecting my Pedro fantasies to the world at large 😅

11) What is your favorite trope (to read/write)?

I'm getting more into writing tropes. I love AUs (writing and reading).

12) What do you do to get motivated to write?

The desire comes upon me and I do it. If I don't feel motivated I do other stuff until I do again.

13) Is there a trope/genre you like to read, but not write?

A/B/O. I never used to like it but I've read a few excellent ones. Shout-out to @ezrasbirdie for the excellent Devil's Backbone series which was the fic I read that made me get it. I dont think I could do it justice if I tried to write it!

14) Any characters/fandoms you want to write for that are never requested?

Nah, I stick to my Pedro characters and that's who the requests come for 💖

15) How long have you been writing fanfiction?

About a year.

16) Did you read fan fiction before you started writing?

Yes. My first foray into fanfic was stuff about the Marauders from Harry Potter many years ago.

17) Do you only post on Tumblr, or any other sites as well?

I post on AO3 first, then Tumblr.

18) What do you personally consider the word counts of “Drabble”, “One shots” and “fics”?

I am very flexible with all of this. I never go into writing with an idea of how long it is. It takes as long as it takes.

Having said that, a drabble is probably less than 1k words, one shot between 1k and 5k and fics...they go on as long as they go. Most of my fics are multi chapter.

19) Which do you prefer to write more? HC, drabbles, oneshots/fics, multi chapter stories, other?

Multi chapter stories because my writing is kind of organic and grows (out of control most of the time). But I do enjoy writing oneshots from people's prompts/asks. It forces me to think about things in different ways. It's partly why @writer-wednesday is brilliant.

20) Are there any stories you have discontinued? If so, why?

No.

21) What is one of your main “pet-peeves” as a writer on Tumblr?

I use Tumblr exclusively on mobile and let me tell you, writing that way is not great. Mostly because my fingers are clumsy and large.

22) Do you write a particular time of day?

I work shifts so I can write any time. Today I was writing at 10am and 1pm at work on breaks. In the past I've written while chapters at 3am.

23) Do you listen to music, ambiance/noise, etc to write or do you need silence?

I don't NEED silence, but I don't deal well with ambient noise. Occasionally I'll listen to a few songs before I start writing to get into the mood I want to.

24) Do you outline your fics at all before writing?

Usually I'll have a couple hundred words which will outline future things I want to put in, major plot points, dialogue that I want to use, phrases that I like the sound of, words which evoke certain emotions in me that are relevant etc. It looks like word vomit on the page, there's no structure to it. With Starman I have a little spider diagram that I refer to. That's new.

25) Do you post your writing as soon as you finish it, or do you schedule it to come out at a specific time/day?

Starman is the first thing I've tried to stick to a schedule for, and I got so excited about it that I've already posted one chapter early. I'm not doing well with that particular discipline 😅

No pressure tags for @galacticgraffiti, @littlemisspascal @just-here-for-the-moment

Content Tag Game

Tagged by EXO sister-wife Kat @yeoldontknow <3 1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?

2. what fandoms are you currently writing for?

3. how long have you been writing? on this blog?

uhhh I definitely wrote half of several harry potter and lotr fanfics in HS but that was ‘the dark times’ many moons ago. so as an adult this is my only fandom! just stumbled into kpop and stumbled onto fanfics in the most backwards way possible (was sent a meme of a 1D ‘imagine’ and was like hey I wonder if they have these for kpop and then I found them and they were not a meme, but were fucking incredible AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER (started August-ish 2017???) here we are hahaha)

4. on which platforms do you post your stories?

oh dear god i just remembered I have an AO3 account..... WHOOPS, shit 😅 might need to, y’know, update that at some point. jfc adhd object permanence is something else.

5. what is your favorite genre to write?

Personally it’s sci fi/fantasy, but here in the fanfic space I’d say..... uhh slice of life, romance, angst but make it a happy ending?? fanfic is a way for me to share all the sort romantic hopeful feelings I have about love and life and friendship and purpose 💕

6. are you a pantser or a planner?

Used to be a pantser when I started this (and when fics used to be like ?? 3k-5k) now that fics in general are longer for one-shots and series my good lord I need an outline. Especially for exo mall which is *insert meme of crazy guy with the bulletin board* a lot for my brain haha

7. one shot or multi-chapter?

8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?

I’d say mine are usually 5k or so?? some series were shorter per chapter, depending on subject matter. I tend to write like... interconnected long as frick oneshots, so i don’t count those as chapters ☠️

9. what is your longest published story? is it complete?

uhhhhh good question haha. my book was 95k and I think exo mall is like *dammit math* 140k or something that has significantly gotten out of hand. I have two more fics so it will probably be like 180ish when it’s done?? not including the drabbles to come haha

10. which story did you enjoy working on the most?

I loved No Quarter and torturing Kat with her husband, also staying up all night to finish Chanyeol’s exo mall knowing kat had NO idea it was coming was a BLAST. Kyungsoo’s exo mall was one of the most ‘in the flow’ writing experiences i’ve ever had. I wrote this Baek oneshot at like 3am when i couldn’t sleep once and tbh it felt like I wrote it in a dream. ja;slkfjasd I love so many of these this is like a trip down memory lane, so I’m going to be a wh*re and say two more haha. This is the most honest and close to ‘real life’ thing I think I’ve written on here (and also one of the only sex scenes I didn’t lose my goddamned mind trying to write a;sldkfja;sdf). And lastly Ablaze, which was the longest thing I’d written (I think) and let me know that hey? maybe I could write a book someday <3

11. favorite request you’ve have written and why (if any?)

This request for Exo Mall Baek was such a joy to write! And for some reason this Taeyong drabble makes me wish I had the time/energy to write it into a full story, it gripped me so much when I wrote it, like a movie had fully downloaded into my brain out of nowhere.

12. are there reoccurring themes in your stories?

For sure! I’d say found family is a big one. Trusting that you’ll find your place even if things don’t make sense or you feel unsure. Believing that love is worth the risk and fear of trusting someone ;laksjdfal;sd. That love can be big gestures and super intense, but that after that fades away it’s the small daily moments that matter most - the people who stay and listen when you’re sad, holding hands and forehead kisses, taking care of people when they’re sick or scared or just need company, showing up to try again or to communicate even when things are hard.

Someone commented on a fic of mine ages ago that I helped them see that real love (of that small, daily, consistent kind) is possible and MAYHAPS I cried because underneath it all, that’s what I’d want people to take away - that love of all kinds is scary, but it’s always worth it in the end <3

13. current number of wips?

Surprisingly just ... 3? wow how time has changed hahaha. I have Jun + Baek for exo mall (plus some drabbles but that will be something people write in about, so I wouldn’t consider them wips) and then I maaaaay continute on here with the Jun + Min regency baes series. We shall see :)

14. three things you have noticed about your own writing?

1. I can’t NOT write Baekhyun as the biggest cheesy dork in the entire world 2. That I’ll always have endless fantasy world to live in. I have to try actively to not start new WIPs because it’s so damn easy to be inspired. If I’m ever bored I know that I can jump into some story and let myself be carried away for a while 3. that who and how i am in real life is not usually the same person that i am when it comes to the vibe of my writing, and that that’s totally okay <3

15. a quote you like from a published story.

“I wish it had been with someone like you, though,” you say, squeezing his hand.

“Someone like me?” he says, raising his eyebrows, waiting for an explanation.

You look down at the floor, trying to figure out how to put how he makes you feel into words. “Yeah, someone strong, and steady. And safe.”

He lets out a laugh. “Safe? That sounds awfully similar to boring.”

“No, no. You don’t understand,” you say emphatically, coming to stand fully in front of him, grabbing his other hand as well. “You never ask me to be anything but who I am. You’re patient, kind, caring. For the longest time I thought that falling in love would be stifling. That it would… I don’t know, take my independence. Take my spirit. Make me into someone I don’t recognize.”

You step closer, holding his face in your hands. “But I can’t think of anything I want more than to be with you. You make me the best version of who I am. I don’t know how it is for you, being with me. But when I’m with you, it just feels like… home,” you finish gently.

- from Kyungsoo’s exo mall because THIS is how I feel about falling in love now, and this story was me working out what I believed about the process (like a goddamned emo bish haha)

16. a quote from an unpublished story.

For a moment you allow yourself this weakness. It won't destroy you to admire the strong lines of his body, the intensity and focus in the set of his brows, the deep, warm color brown of his eyes as they - oh lord, he's looking directly at you. As he notices you watching him his lips press into a small smile, inclining his head towards you.

'Oh no,' you say, mortified. In a breath you've blinked and drawn your arm through Maggie's, weaving your way through the crowd and dragging her with you.

'What's wrong?' she hisses in your ear, slightly off-kilter from the drink and revelry. 'You're going to tear my arm off.’.

'Sorry, he -' With a hand you push through the front doors, gulping in the cool night air and breathing deeply to steady the erratic pace of your heartbeat. 'Maggie, what's happening to me? He looked at me and I felt so... naked. I can't explain it.'

She realizes you aren't in actual distress and laughs. 'Good. About time you fell in love. I'm delighted.'

- From perhaps a future chapter of Jun and Min regency baes series....

17. space for you to say something to your readers.

Thank you so much. Truly, from the bottom of my heart. This fandom brought writing back into my life after such a long time away and I had no idea I would love it so much. The friends it’s brought me and the kind words that made me cry or cheered me up on a shitty day or made me laugh out loud and the watching other writers grow on their journeys. Getting to hear how something I made could help you feel less alone or less sad on a shitty day is all I’ve ever wanted from sharing all this. Thank you for being here and thank you for sharing parts of yourself with me <3

Tagging anyone who sees this who would like to do it, even if you don’t consider yourself a “real writer” yet (yes you are, stop doubting yourself!!!!) 😘

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙁𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙊𝙈𝙎 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘾𝙐𝙍𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙇𝙔 𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙁𝙊𝙍?

i am currently writing for enhypen! and i plan to write for twst ouh

𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙇𝙊𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘽𝙀𝙀𝙉 𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙁𝙊𝙍?

aaaah i'm not pretty sure about this so i think i'm gonna put in the days where i wrote for competitions and feature writings for school papers,, so i have been 3-4 years i suppose ehe

𝙊𝙉 𝙒𝙃𝙄𝘾𝙃 𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙏𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙈𝙎 𝘿𝙊 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙄𝙀𝙎?

wattpad. but i'm not really active on there now, so i use tumblr :D

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏’𝙎 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙁𝘼𝙑𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀 𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙍𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀?

definitely would be angst. idk why i just really like hurting myself when i write- also i feel kind off proud(?) when i hear that my readers could actually feel pain while reading my angst stories, since it makes me feel that my stories have emotions y'know-

𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘼 𝙋𝘼𝙉𝙏��𝙀𝙍 𝙊𝙍 𝘼 𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙉𝙉𝙀𝙍?

i actually do not know omg. it's somewhere in the middle- and it also depends hahaha,, some of my stories i have were panned out but in the end were abandoned (by me)- that's why i don't really trust myself in planning out my stories. most of the time i'm a panster, and it really gets messy for me since when a idea comes into my mind i immediately write it but it will/would be hard for me to continue it since i'd have a hard time connecting the stories and it results to like- more plot holes :/

𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙏 𝙊𝙍 𝙈𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙄 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙏𝙀𝙍?

oneshots !! i have more fun writing those instead of multi-chapters. as i said before, i have stories that are mostly multi-chapters that were just abandoned by me lol

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝘼 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙀𝘾𝙏 𝙇𝙀𝙉𝙂𝙏𝙃 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙄𝙉 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙊𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙊𝙉 ?

a good 3-5 pages or less (?) i've read tons of books (irl and fics) and i can say i really like some good 3-5 pages but if it's word count then 3-5k ?? though i like 3-5 pages better, keeps me from being bored. if it's too much pages tho i might get bored easily.

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙇𝙊𝙉𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙋𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙃𝙀𝘿 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔?

elysium - jakehoon (on my wattpad which i am not revealing lol)

𝙒𝙃𝙄𝘾𝙃 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 𝘿𝙄𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙀𝙉𝙅𝙊𝙔 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙎𝙏?

i have more oneshots rather than chapter ones, but i really enjoyed writing the pink in the night (jake sim oneshot). i'm really satisfied about that and that was also inspired by mitski's song which is in the title of the oneshot. it's a really good song and i thought of one of the lines in the song that went like "i know i kissed you before but, i didn't do it right. can i try again?" and i just had this thought like 'hm, what if i make that as a little line for a oneshot where jake is asking for a second chance with y/n?' since he felt that he wronged y/n and would want to give what they had another chance' (ew that sounded cheesy)

𝙁𝘼𝙑𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝙌𝙐𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙒𝙃𝙔?

the filo s/o requests !! i really had fun writing those because i could write some words in tagalog (sighs, english is tiring sometimes). i don't remember who requested it thoo:( but big thanks to them for starting the lil filo s/o series i have. <3

𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝘾𝙐𝙍𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙈𝙀𝙎 𝙄𝙉 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙄𝙀𝙎?

1. i usually end a story/oneshot with a dialogue 2. the resolving of conflicts in my story and really well written (?) because i'm not good at those lol:/ 3. i either write really looooOooNg or just short (i lrly have a 5k or more oneshot on wp)

oh how he wished time could be rewinded, but the world kept moving forward. sunghoon is forced to move on. though, as the days became week and months had turned into a year; at the back of his head, the thought of you remained. (it's quite uptown :: p.sh)

you felt your heart ache a bit when she said that. "does jake even long for me?" you asked. "all the time, y/n... even when we're together he'll tell me he would want to go home because he misses you" this only made your heart heavier. "this relationship wasn't that long, but i'll let him go now– i don't want to stay with somebody who thinks about someone else when i'm with them"

Cdrama/Silmarillion/Any Other Fandom Willing to Participate, I [Ancient_Moonshine] Need Your Help.

6/23/2020 UPDATED NOW WITH PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING FIC INCENTIVES Ok so this is the first time I’m gonna do something of the sort, but please bear with me since the situation in my country is already really dire. My friend’s organizing a charity drive for jeepney drivers affected by the quarantine/lockdown our government implemented. The public transportation sector has been one of the worst-affected by the lockdown, especially since jeepneys, buses, taxis, and ridesharing vehicles weren’t allowed to ply their routes during its duration. Up till now, only a handful of buses and jeepneys are allowed to operate since we’re still all technically under quarantine. This has left a lot of jeepney drivers in really terrible straits. Some of them have even resorted to begging on the streets just so they can eat. [Like those guys in the picture above]. It’s even worse off in the provinces, since they have less supplies than the big cities. Links: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1295837/jeepney-uv-express-drivers-we-need-work

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1294501/current-jeepney-ban-means-p78000-income-loss-to-drivers-says-ibon-foundation

https://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/multimedia/slideshow/06/08/20/photo-essay-end-of-the-line-for-jeepney-drivers HOW YOU CAN HELP:

As aforesaid, my friend/law school classmate Raya Teston [name used with her permission] has been organizing a relief drive along with another friend of hers in order to purchase supplies/items for jeepney drivers in need in Metro Manila and the province of Pampanga. These are foodstuffs to tide them over until they can drive again, but also surgical masks and alcohol/disinfectants for the jeepney drivers to wipe down their vehicles with once the quarantine lifts. My friend already has suppliers, and these are the costs of the items that they plan to purchase once they have enough funds:

Taiwan-made surgical masks = PhP240/box

Zonrox [bleach] PhP300/gallon

Greencross Alcohol 480.00-550.00/gallon

Exchange rate: 1 US dollar = 50.15 Philippine pesos

Raya: We’re open to receiving other products if you want to donate in kind. Not sure if logistics will allow to send liquid disinfectants to another province...but we'll find a way! Let me know if anyone wants to donate items in kind anywhere, can help you source suppliers and coordinate.

This is her bank account number: RAYA SOFIA A TESTON 000680802541 (BDO) RAYA SOFIA A TESTON 09178202562 (Gcash)

PAYPAL [for international donors, it’s the option we decided would be easiest in terms of faciliation. Unfortunately none of us have ever handled a gofundme/youcaring drive before]: [email protected]

For those willing to donate, I will give you updates on where your donation went/pictures of the recipients receiving the relief goods.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE:

For every donation, I will be absolutely ecstatic to produce either one piece of writing or one artwork, of any subject or of any ship [preferably one I already write for/am familiar with since it’ll take time to get into a new canon]. It can be any genre, any AU. Kinks are negotiable and encouraged [there is nearly nothing I’m not open to writing, but just in case it crosses boundaries I’m not willing to have crossed, I retain the right to refuse. This is upon the advice of a very sensible friend], just send me a PM with your request, and once I accept, deposit payment in the Paypal account given above. Afterwards, send me a photo of your donation receipt at [email protected], and I will verify with Raya if she’s gotten it. 20 US dollars and below will get a oneshot between 1K to 5K words long [the more you donate, the longer it will be, of course, for incentive] or a piece of artwork of any subject the donor wants [choice between oneshot and art is the donor’s]. 20 US dollars to 50 US dollars will receive a fic of up to 10K words. 50 US dollars and above will get multichapter fics of up to 15K words, or more, because I can’t exactly control my brain when it writes. If the fic you asked for doesn’t reach the word limit I set up, I’m happy to write another to reach it. One caveat is that these might take a while, as I am [was] a law student and I need to prepare for the bar exam, and since I hope a lot will donate, I’ll be writing a lot of things. But rest assured, you’ll get your money’s worth. My ao3 account: https://archiveofourown.org/users/ancient_moonshine My art: https://bird-armadda.tumblr.com/tagged/The-Wolf-and-the-Crane [take note I work with traditional art since digital makes my head ache so I’ll likely send you pictures until I get a decent scanner.]

Thanks for sticking with me, guys. For those that will donate: THANK YOU. I know we’re all gonna help each other survive this.

Okay, so, I’ve been doing writing commissions via one of my other blogs for like a year and my first dip into it worked out pretty well, but I figured I could probably make a little more money doing them over here too. This is basically the exact same post as the one on my other blog, just rewritten to better reflect this blog.

☆Writing Examples☆

Example #1: From “Trial and Error”, my baby and the longest work I have ever written (and it’s still going, wow). If you’ve been here for a while, you already know that T&E is rife with sensitive content and the warnings should be heeded.

Example #2: From “Dead Man Walking”, another baby of mine that is... Pending an update. It’s totally sfw as far as sexual content or gore go at the moment, though. Worst thing you’ll encounter is some stuff I tagged wrong (D.I.D. that isn’t necessarily actually D.I.D.) and need to re-tag in a more accurate way, honestly.

☆Will☆

Pretty much anything.

This does include OCs/Self-Inserts, Self-Shipping, etc.

In fact I encourage OCs/Self-Inserts, and Self-Shipping!

NSFW is also allowed. On principle I won’t ask you to prove your age because I feel it’s an invasion of privacy but please do not commission me for sexual content if you are under 18.

Oneshots!

☆Will Not☆

Black Mirror (tv series)

Big Mouth (tv series)

P*dophilia

Inc*st

Anything blatantly transphobic, homophobic, racist, or otherwise exclusionary.

Fart kink.

Chapter fics

☆Why?☆

In order:

Show grossed me out or triggered me

I’m not touching p*do or inc*st with lava-proof gloves, babe.

I’m not an exclusionary asshole.

However, if you can provide to me a legitimate reason why I should write this (ie, it’s a reflection of something that happened to you, it’s a narrative you think needs to be seen to spread awareness, the excluded character overcomes the exclusion in the end, etc...) I will potentially make an exception.

It’s really just not my thing and I’ve written it before but I’m not keen on doing it again.

I just don’t have the time or the focus right now to work on anything multi-chapter outside of personal projects and older commissions from the last batch that I’m still finishing up.

☆Fandoms☆

Put incredibly simply, if I can get a healthy understanding of it through research it in under two hours, I’ll write it.

If I already have a healthy understanding, I’ll write it.

If I do not already have a healthy understanding and cannot gain that understanding through research in under two hours, we might just have to get back to each other when I’m up for more than two hour research sessions. At this time I can’t really spend more than two hours researching anything.

I also write ORIGINAL COMMISSIONS, not just FANDOM COMMISSIONS, so if you’ve got an original idea you’d like me to try writing, hit me up.

☆Prices☆

Oneshot (1K words or less) = $5USD. Price increases by $5 per 1000 words. (2K - $10, 3K - $15, etc). Discounts begin at 10K words.

I don’t apply a charge for time spent working or any sort of sales tax, so the prices you see are the prices you’ll pay no matter what.

Discounts no longer offered at 5K words because I need all the money I can get.

☆Payment☆

I’m willing to work with clients on payment if need be.

I will ask for half the base price upfront and the rest after completion, primarily to ensure I actually get paid for my work and that you are getting what you want out of the deal, since I am open at all stages of writing to changes you may want to make, within reason.

To clarify: $2.50 upfront, then the rest of the full price on completion.

If you want to pay the full price upfront, I’m cool with that too!

☆Refunds & Additional Words☆

If you decide you no longer want your commission before I finish it, tell me and I’ll do my best to refund what you’ve paid me. If you decide you don’t want it after I’ve finished it, I will retain the upfront payment to cover time spent working.

If you decide you don’t want your commission solely for money purposes, let me know, because I would be happy to simply shelf it for the time being and come back to it whenever the time comes that money is no longer an issue. In this case as well I will retain the upfront payment.

Additionally, should you decide after I’ve finished off a commission that you’d like it to be longer, that can definitely be arranged! I do charge for the additional words but it’s at the same rates as normal. So, basically if you get 3K and decide you want it to be about 4K instead, you can do that, and I’ll throw the additional $5 for the extra 1K on top of your total - no extra surcharges.

I accept payments via my PayPal, but other methods of payment can be discussed if needed.

☆Special Offers☆

For no extra cost, I will doodle a title page for your commission!

For $5USD each, I will add simple sketch illustrations to your commission.

For $10USD each, I will add mono-color lineart illustrations to your commission.

For $15USD each, I will add full color illustrations to your commission.

You do not have to accept special offers, they’re just there for people who might want them.

☆Estimated Completion Time☆

Between a couple of hours to a couple of days per project*, depending on what else is going on in my life and how much of my focus I can afford to devote at a time.

*I can be bribed to prioritize one commission at a time, thereby decreasing completion time in most cases. This costs $5.

☆Contact Info☆

If you’re interested in a commission, I can be reached here:

via my DMs

via email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

I check my emails 4 times a day and my DMs at least twice a day, so if I don’t get back to you immediately don’t get discouraged. I’ll likely get back to you within a day unless I’m having internet issues.

☆Openings☆

Oneshot Commissions: 7/8* Available

Priority Commissions: 1/1** Available

*Each slot accounts for 1 work, with a 20K word limit on each.

**Again, this is something you pay me for to get your commission done faster.

☆What You’re Helping Me Do By Commissioning Me☆

Under the cut since it’s not super pertinent but I figured I’d be kinda transparent about what I’d be using the money for.

(This list is subject to change but usually composed of the same stuff. Last updated 11/14/19.)

Get Married

Pay Bills

Buy Food and other household supplies

Fic tag game (?)

I was tagged by the ever-lovely @stardust-blake (Thank you!! This was fun!! I’m sorry this took so long, I’ve been at uni and just got back to my laptop.)

1. what is your most popular fic by kudos? comments? bookmarks? are they all the same?

Most popular is Begging Me to Beg for You for all three (idk why, it was so bad omg)

2. do you have a favourite of your fics? if not, do you have one you’re most proud of? why?

I think my favourite fic to write was Season’s Greetings, because the idea came to me from pretty much nowhere and it was just cute and fluffy. But the fic I’m most proud of is IDGAF because I never actually intended to write it, and it was my second smut fic but I just felt like it actually worked that time? If that makes sense. I didn’t want to go and hide in a corner after I published it like I did for BMTBFY.

3. what fandom/ship (if you write for more than one) is your favourite to write for?

I think bellarke are my favourites to write for, just because it’s the easiest for me. With dramione, it always felt like the fandom was so big, and everyone only ever read works from a handful of readers (I know in actuality it’s not like that, but at 15 it felt like that). And I am never going to attempt a Jon/Dany because the game of thrones/ASOIAF universe is so big I don’t even want to think about it, which is why I ended u writing Kit/Emilia instead, which does make me uncomfortable now and I wouldn’t write it again. I just wanted a Jon/Dany modern AU without having to know the ins and outs of how Winterfell worked etc.

4. do you have any fics that got more popularity/attention than you expected? if so what were they?

BMTBFY. I should have seen this coming, since it was a smut fic, but I sort of just wrote it and left it and now it has over 5k hits which I wasn’t expecting at all. And I actually don’t think this fic is any good so I’m still shocked when I see people reading it/leaving kudos.

5. where do you get your ideas/inspiration from? do you have a fic that you feel is particularly unique in that area?

Almost every single fic I have written is because of something that has happened to me in my real life (except the canonverse ones obvs). But Season’s Greetings was inspired by a text message I saw where their friend mistakenly thought they’d called them “honey” when they were asking for honey flavouring. The inspiration for Winter Winds was me stood outside my work waiting for a lift off my mum thinking “wow I wish one of my friends would drive past and pick me up.” But then that seemed weird to write so I changed it to what it became. And That’s a Wrap was me wrapping my family Christmas presents for about three hours straight thinking I should monopolise it, alas someone stole my idea. As for unique fics, I’ve got one coming that feel unique, but I’ve only been reading bellarke for a few months so idk if someone’s already written it yet.

6. do you have a favourite character to write POV for?

I like to switch, just to give the full view of the situations. But I’ve always naturally slipped into Clarke’s POV (I think that stems from YEARS of reading every single fic from Hermione’s POV and being completely thrown when I read anything from Draco’s so now female POV just feel natural? idk).

I think I’m more like Bellamy in how I react to situations so that’s a bit easier to write, but I think I talk more like Clarke than any other character, so her dialogue is easier to write? In all honesty, I just write whatever I think of and do a lot of editing later so I don’t really take much notice of what I’m feeling when i’m writing.

7. what’s your favourite side pairing to include?

I’ve not had much change to write anything including a side pairing, but I love Lincoln/Octavia and Miller/Monty or Miller/Jackson (I just need Miller to be happy okay?)

8. do you have a fic you feel is underrated in comparison to your other fics? or you just wish more people would read?

I just wish everyone who read BMTBFY actually went and read IDGAF because it was actually a lot better (in my opinion, and my sister’s.) But I don’t have that many fics published so?

9. what’s something you would go back and change in one of your fics?

hahahaha everything. I once wrote a dramione fic that I’m scared to go back a look at. But tbh, I will eventually hate anything I’ve ever done if I stare at it for long enough, so there’s a lot I’d change and it’s nothing major, just scenes that could do with rewriting or something.

10. what is your favourite sort of comment to receive on a fic?

Any comment.

11. what are your favourite genres of fic to write? (e.g. modern au, hurt/comfort, fluff, angst, etc.)

I think I feel most comfortable writing Modern AUs, as long as I never try and emulate any kind of US culture (bc I know nothing), but fluff all the way, I can’t write angst for shit. So fluff all the way.

12. what are your favourite tropes to write?

Gotta love a good friend to lovers trope. I’ve not written many tropes yet, but hopefully I’ll get inspired and get chance to work on some stuff.

13. do you write fics similar to what you enjoy reading or completely different? both?

hmm sometimes. I mean, I enjoy writing modern AUs, but that’s a very broad topic and I’ve read a lot of AUs. I generally avoid reading anything with Clarke of Bellamy dying and I don’t think I could write that, but tbh I’ll read almost anything but I’m quite picky about what I write.

14. what’s your writing process like?

If it’s something I want to be good, I’ll write it out entirely by hand and then type it up. And I almost always have to write everything in chronological order and then work backwards once the bulk of it is there. Editing takes me forever though. I need a lot of tea and music and usually take about 15 minute breaks because I’m easily distracted. But if I’m writing a scene that I can feel rather than just see in my mind’s eye then I cannot stop writing it until it’s done.

15. multi-chapter, oneshot, or drabble?

Back when I first started reading fanfic a drabble was 100 words or less, but now it seems to be more? So I’m gonna say a drabble (anything up to 5k) is easier for me because I can write it in a day or two and then edit it quickly. But I like writing one-shots too. And I’ve never done a multichapter so idk.

16. if someone was only going to read one of your fics, which would you want them to read?

This is a tough once, because I’d want them to read the one I’m writing now because it’s actually a proper fic instead of a drabble. But I’d say any of them, they’re all quite similar (sort of).

Is there anyone left to do this that hasn’t? Idk who to tag? If you see this, consider yourself tagged!

Tim Travel Ch. 6

So this is it. We have reached the final chapter of this fic that I started so many months ago. As some of you may remember or maybe you've forgotten, or maybe just didn't know in the first place, whatever your stance, it's fine, but as you may or may not know, this was intended to be a short 4-5k oneshot, but it has grown into something 10x longer.

I've poured a great deal of heart and soul into this in character development and working with the events that occurred in this and building the relationship. I'm very much excited to share this last chapter because writing it alone tugged at my heart strings.

So please enjoy it, as I have, because as much as we try and would yearn for it, none of us have a crazy scientist capable of sending us back to the beginning of this fic, but maybe reading the final chapter will help remind you why you started it in the first place.

<3 MOLIM

Also on AO3!

Tim stared down at the phone in his hands and turned to look at Jason who was sitting next to him, body rigid and tense.

“Are you sure you want me to do this?” he asked.

Jason hunched his shoulders and glanced at Tim out of the corner of his eye before resuming his staring contest with the floor.

“It’s probably better if you do it. I don’t know how happy B would be if he got a phone call from me.”

Tim nodded. “I can understand that. The conversation would be less likely to go well if the two of you were having it. I’m not sure you’d even get around to the point of the call.”

The corner of Jason’s lips ticked upwards for a second. It was a relief for Tim. He was glad that he could still break through Jason’s façade even with something like this.

“But,” Tim continued. “Are you sure you want to have the dinner? Are you ready for this? Do you think you can handle it?”

Jason sighed and hung his head further, gaze boring into the floor. “Am I ready? No. I am the furthest thing from ready from having to tell the man who’s suspicious of everything I do that I’m dating you. Do I think I can handle it? Maybe. I can’t say that yelling won’t be involved. But am I sure? Absolutely,” he said, turning to look at Tim. “I’m as sure about this as I am about my feelings with you and I know that I don’t want to let this be ripped from my hands so I don’t think there’s any point in putting it off.��

Tim fought down the warmth that threatened to consume him and all of the words that wanted to spill from his lips. He wanted to tell Jason so many things, but now wasn’t the time to do that. He had a phone call to make and if he didn’t do it in that moment, then it would just keep getting pushed further and further back.

He scrolled through his contacts and found the number for Bruce’s personal phone. Hopefully, he would take it as the least life-threatening and emergency inducing option and wouldn’t be halfway to the Batmobile before even answering the call. He hit dial and held the phone up to his ear. He briefly thought that he should’ve called Alfred instead.

“Yes?” he answered.

“Bruce, I have something I wanted to ask you,�� Tim started slowly.

“Okay. What is it?”

“I was hoping that we could have dinner this weekend, but not just us. Jason wants to be there, too.”

There was a painful silence on the phone and Tim winced, imagining what was probably going through Bruce’s mind at the moment. Most of it wasn’t very pleasant.

“Just the three of us?” he clarified.

“Yes.” Tim rubbed a hand over his forehead. Waiting for him to hang up or agree or maybe the world would end right then and he wouldn’t have to worry about the answer. The silence pounded over the line and struck Tim over the head with its ferocity.

“I’ll let Alfred know you’ll be by this weekend. Be here for the usual time we have our dinners on Sundays,” he said, shortly.

Tim blinked, surprised that he’d agreed so quickly.

“Tim?” he asked.

“Uh, yeah,” he said, snapping out of his daze. “Yeah that sounds great. We’ll see you then.”

Bruce ended the call before Tim could even think about saying goodbye and he lowered the phone from his hand to stare at the screen that blinked back to where Bruce’s contact was on his phone.

“So he agreed?” Jason asked.

Tim turned to face him and nodded. Jason let out a heavy breath and sagged against the back of the couch.

“Are you going to be okay?” Tim asked.

“I feel like I should be asking you that since you were the one on the phone with him,” Jason tried to joke, but Tim could see the accumulation of everything life had thrown at him hovering behind his gaze. His pupils were hollower than they usually were, reflecting the agonizing experiences he’d gone through.

Tim smiled and scooted closer to Jason, letting his head rest on his shoulder and leaving his arm to drape across Jason’s stomach. Jason’s arm wrapped tightly around him and pulled him close enough were Tim was practically sitting his lap. To make the position more comfortable, Tim swung his legs up and over Jason’s so they came to rest on the other side of the couch.

“It’ll be fine,” Tim murmured. “We’re going to have dinner on Sunday. We’ve got a whole week to prepare. There won’t be anything to worry about.”

Jason snorted, but tried tugging him closer, seeking to eliminate any space between them. Tim rubbed his thumb over the fabric of Jason’s shirt where his hand had come to rest. Jason ducked his head and kissed the side of Tim’s head.

“If you’re with me, I think I can handle anything. Even a stuffy old dinner with B.”

Tim smiled. “Don’t let Alfred hear you say that. I don’t think he’d take too kindly to his food being called stuffy.”

Jason chuckled softly. Tim could tell he was trying to make his voice light and airy to avoid suspicion, but Tim could still hear the slight strain underneath it. He snuggled closer and tightened his grip, hoping to offer some form of comfort before Jason was faced with the lion’s den. Tim knew he would be facing some of the same skepticism, but it seemed insignificant to the adversity Tim knew Jason would surely face at the hands of Bruce.

He wasn’t sure how much convincing it was going to take to make him believe their relationship. Hell, he wasn’t even sure if they would be able to get his approval. But that didn’t mean Tim wasn’t going to try. He would fight his hardest for this, for Jason more than himself. It would be a sign of peace. A small olive branch that things weren’t as tenuous as they seemed to be. And that Jason might not be as on the fringes of the family as he thought.

The week passed in a blur. Even though Tim had more distractions than Jason, it still amazed him when Friday was upon them, and then Saturday, and finally Sunday. The fact he was nervous and ill at ease must’ve meant Jason was experiencing a worse range or emotions.

Jason hid it well, keeping his emotions masked underneath the surface as he’d practiced for so long, but Tim could feel the tension in his muscles and the nervous energy that thrummed under his skin. He almost wanted to joke with Jason that he was on the verge of being the flash, able to vibrate right out of the situation.

But they were determined. This was something that needed to happen and they were going to make it work even if it meant leaving the Manor for good after the dinner was over.

Tim kept a tight hold on Jason during the entire ride there. He pushed himself as close as he could and the narrow bike seat would allow and if his grip was on the verge of suffocating Jason, he didn’t comment.

The gates opened before they could press the intercom and Jason eased up the drive until they were waiting at the foot of the stairs. He killed the engine and Tim felt him sigh, his whole body compressing underneath the weight of reality. All his fears and worries dragging his limbs down and making him feel sluggish.

Tim let his grip fall away, freeing Jason from the confines of his arms and pulled off his own helmet. He ran a hand through his flattened hair and waited. Jason’s grip was tight on the handlebars, his gloves pulling taut over his skin and Tim knew if he could see his hands, the knuckles would be white from the strain they were under.

After several long minutes, he managed to loosen his grip and reach for the helmet on his head. He kept his head bowed even after it was removed, fingers rubbing over the smooth surface as thoughts raced through his mind. He let out another sigh that pulled his shoulders even further down with the gravity of the past, present, and future.

Tim reached out a hand and squeezed his shoulder. “Are you ready?” he whispered.

Jason made no sound. Made no move. And then, like the caution of a newborn calf, he raised himself from the seat and swung his leg over the side. Tim followed him and watched as he methodically stowed their helmets underneath the seat.

Jason turned to face the Manor and Tim held out his hand. It was an invitation. He’d be willing to give them away before they could even say anything if it would provide the comfort and strength Jason needed.

Jason reached out and gave Tim’s hand a squeeze, but didn’t link their fingers together, letting their hands fall away instead. Tim stepped forward first, walking towards the stairs with Jason behind him. As usual, Alfred pulled the door open before they could even think to knock.

“Welcome back, sirs,” he said with a small bow, letting them inside. “Master Bruce is waiting for you in the dining room. I will have the first course brought in in a moment.”

“Thank you, Alfred,” Tim said, offering him a smile.

“Of course, Master Timothy,” he said, shutting the door behind them.

Jason smiled at him as they left the foyer behind, but refrained from saying anything. Tim wondered what was going through his mind now that they were back. He could be having doubts or questioning whether this was the right course of action.

The doors to the dining room had been propped open by Alfred and they walked through, taking the available seats on either side of where Bruce sat at the head of the table. Bruce looked over them both as they sat, mouth flattened in a thin line.

They sat at the table in silence. Tim glanced between Jason and Bruce. Jason stared hard at his plate and Bruce was looking forward across the dining room. He wanted to sigh because he wished for once he wouldn’t be the one who needed to broach such an uncomfortable topic. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it to swallow when Alfred walked in, pushing a cart with bowls of soup.

“Here you are, sirs,” he said, setting one in front of each of them.

“Thanks Alfred,” Tim murmured. He immediately picked up his spoon and swirled it through the liquid. He glanced at Jason and saw his knuckles were white around his spoon where Bruce sat back, sipping idly. Tim allowed himself to indulge in a few sips, letting the warmth from the liquid seep into his bones and give him the strength he needed to make this work.

Finally gathering the courage to speak, he opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Bruce.

“So what did you really want to talk about?” he asked, eyeing them both before his gaze settled on Tim. “There was an obvious reason for calling this dinner that didn’t have to do with sitting down to eat and enjoy each other’s company.”

Tim cleared his throat. “You’re right. Jason and I did want to talk to you about something.”

Bruce folded his hands into his lap and sat back against his chair. He raised an eyebrow, waiting for Tim to continue.

“We-“ Tim started. “Well, you see…”

“Tim and I have spent a lot of time together since he returned from the past,” Jason broke in.

“Yes, I’m aware of that,” Bruce acknowledged. “You too seem to have gotten quite close despite the things that have happened before.”

“I guess we should start there,” Tim mumbled. “You should know that I don’t hold what Jason did against him. We both know that Jason didn’t know it was me who he was attacking and although that doesn’t excuse his behavior, he doesn’t have violent or hateful tendencies towards me.”

Bruce sighed. “If this is about Jason patrolling or being welcome back into the family-“

“Well,” Tim interrupted and winced at having cut him off. “It sort of is in a way. You see-“

“Tim and I are dating,” Jason said, breaking in.

Tim stared at Jason whose gaze was fixed on his plate. He turned to look at Bruce and Tim did the same. Bruce’s face was stoic, not giving away what he felt or how he was processing the bomb Jason had pretty much dropped in his lap.

The silence was loud with all of the possibilities and ways the conversation could go, but no one said anything. Tim could feel his heart racing in his chest and could only imagine what was going through Jason’s mind. Although he seemed more relaxed than anything so he might be completely fine with what he’d just laid out on the table.

Bruce looked between them. “Dating.”

Jason narrowed his eyes. “Yes.”

Tim fought his instinct to whither under Bruce’s gaze, knowing he had to stand firm in this if he didn’t want it to fall apart spectacularly.

“Is this true, Tim?” he asked.

Tim nodded. “It is.”

“How long has this been going on?”

“A couple weeks,” he conceded nervously.

Bruce nodded. “So when Jason came to talk to me during patrol…”

“That was before we started dating,” Jason said quickly. “I didn’t want our friendship to put a strain on Tim’s life and a couple days later we sort of figured out that we both liked each other.”

Bruce nodded again. He picked up his soup spoon and went back to eating without saying or giving anything else away. Tim glanced at Jason who was watching him. His stomach was starting to tie itself into knots and he didn’t think he’d be able to finish the meal. Not when he had no idea what was going to come next.

Tim managed a few more bites of soup when Alfred returned to exchange their plates for the salad. He managed to take a drink of water, the liquid helped to wet his throat that felt dry and constricted, but he wasn’t sure he’d be capable of eating the food in front of him.

“I have concerns about this relationship between you,” Bruce finally said, spearing a few green leaves with his fork as Alfred left the room.

“We sort of expected that,” Tim mumbled.

“What I’m most concerned with is the basis for your romantic attraction. Now-“

“It’s not hero worship,” Jason broke in. “I know everyone is going to think that and both of us even considered the possibility, but it’s not. I didn’t start to have a stronger attachment to Tim after I was brought back. And even then it wasn’t an immediate romantic attraction.”

Bruce chewed a few bites of salad slowly. “What if you’ve built up this idea of Tim in your mind? Even if you’ve refrained from unlikely romantic ideals based in hero worship, that doesn’t mean you haven’t built up an image in your memory of him being a perfect person. If you don’t recognize Tim as a human who does have flaws, it could lead to intense feelings of disillusionment when you come to understand those things.”

Tim felt his stomach turn over. That wasn’t a possibility that he’d even considered when first confronted with Jason’s feelings. He looked across the table, yearning for some answers and was rewarded with an intense, determined look Jason was giving Bruce.

“I know Tim is human. I’m painfully aware of that fact. I know he’s smart and kind and was there for me so many years ago. He’s capable of taking care of others, but doesn’t always take care of himself. He’ll forgo his own needs and think less of himself because he puts so many people before his own well-being.”

Tim felt himself blush at the conversation. He knew it wasn’t a secret the kinds of behaviors he practiced, but it was still embarrassing to have his shortcomings become the top of conversation.

“But that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about him or think less of him,” Jason continued. “I want to take care of Tim and show him why I care about him. Even if he has trouble seeing the beauty in himself, I know it’s still there and I want to know him and all of the quirky, weird things he does every day.”

Tim felt his blush deepen even further and focused on the plate in front of him. The knot in his stomach had unwound somewhat at Jason’s words and the care he used when talking about him. He wasn’t sure he wanted to know what Bruce thought about those statements.

“The two of us were well on our way to building a friendship after we were reunited,” Jason whispered. “We were building a bond that didn’t have any romantic basis even if those feelings did exist in us as individuals. I was more than happy to suppress those feelings if it meant I was able to spend time with Tim and be around him. I didn’t need to have everything that came with a romantic relationship. Being with Tim for who he is was enough.”

Silence hung in the air when Jason finished speaking. Tim hadn’t expected him to reveal so much when he’d been nervous and unsure about telling Bruce about their relationship.

Bruce pulled his gaze from Jason and turned to Tim.

“Jason has told me about his feelings with regards to this situation, but I’m curious as to how you developed through all of this, Tim. You are also part of this relationship and it should be beneficial for both parties.”

The way Bruce spoke, it sounded like he was almost approving of the situation. It left Tim hopeful. He knew he would never be as eloquent as Jason, his confession was testament to that, but he couldn’t be blamed for being honest.

“I don’t know how to explain it really. One moment, I was with Jason when he was still a kid and then he was suddenly all grown up. The difference was jarring at first. I didn’t know what I needed to do or what I should do. I enjoyed the relationship we’d built over a handful of days and it felt like nothing to have that translated into the future.” He looked at Jason who was watching him carefully. “And then we started hanging out. I got to see glimpses of Jason as he used to be and learn more about how he changed.

“And as I learned that it was still him underneath everything that had happened with his death and after he was brought back and after the Pit, it made me happy. I honestly thought it was nothing more than platonic feelings on both sides, but when I realized that Jason felt something more for me, that’s when I started to consider my own feelings and think about things. It took a lot to figure it out. Sure, it may not have taken me weeks or months to realize there were feelings, but it was a lot to sift through.

“And when I realized that I did hold something for Jason that was more than friendship and I knew he felt the same…I couldn’t let the opportunity go. This need grew, to simply be with him and if it meant more than that was great and wonderful and fantastic, but if it meant there wouldn’t be anything other than tag-teaming on patrol or hanging out and watching movies or spending the afternoon at a bookstore, then that was okay, too.”

Tim looked over at Bruce who was watching him, gaze intent.

“I don’t expect you to understand everything that’s going on, but we care for each other and don’t want to see either of us get hurt. We’ve considered the other possibilities our feelings might be rooted in. I know that you probably won’t be excited to know that Dick knows about our relationship, but he had the same concerns and after seeing us together, he knew that we were going to be okay. He was most concerned we were treating each other well and we are.”

Tim sat back, tired after putting so much of himself and his emotions out in the open. He felt like he needed nothing more than a nap to recuperate from all of this. And he didn’t even know what Bruce was feeling yet.

Bruce turned his attention back to his salad. Tim wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he was really hoping it wouldn’t take until Alfred brought out dessert for them to know how he felt. If that happened, Tim would really be walking out of the Manor without having eaten anything.

He picked up his own fork and speared a few leaves. Swallowing them was a chore when they wanted nothing more than to be ejected from his stomach. After a few bites, he put down his fork and sat back in his chair.

Tim looked over at Jason who was handling the process of eating better than he was. His gaze flicked up as he took another bite, halfway finished with his food. His eyebrows turned down in confusion and Tim shook his head. He knew Jason wanted to object, but there was nothing to be done about his lacking appetite until Bruce came out and said something.

Alfred entered with the same silver cart as before. This time he replaced their salad plates with what looked to be roasted chicken, potatoes, and grilled asparagus.

“Thank you, Alfred,” Bruce murmured as he left. “You’re right that I don’t understand all of the particulars of your relationship,” he said, turning his attention to them. “I’m still concerned about any lingering effects from the Lazarus Pit that may affect Jason. As Tim’s presence has had a beneficial impact on Jason thus far, I don’t see any harm in the two of you associating with each other. I hope that it continues to have a good impact and you’ll even be led to give up your guns one day, or at least the real bullets.

“Now,” he said, clearing his throat, “I have no objections to this relationship at the moment. As far as I can see, your feelings seem genuine and having Dick back your relationship is reassuring. Even though my concerns remain, I won’t object to the two of you being together as you’ve already put a great deal of thought into this.”

Tim felt relief flood through him. His earlier exhaustion returned after having been strung so tight emotionally and having that released in such a quick manner.

“Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to tell me you were dating,” he tacked on awkwardly before turning to his untouched main course.

Tim couldn’t stop the smile that pulled at his lips, but he sunk his teeth into his bottom lip to keep from outright grinning. Jason smiled back and picked up his fork, nodding at Tim and pointing at his own plate.

Tim didn’t want to eat because of his excitement at the situation, but he knew he needed to and Jason would only get mad at him if he didn’t finish the meal when he could barely stomach the first two courses. The tension in his stomach had eased and he knew he’d be able to get the food down just fine.

Their meal finished without another hitch. Alfred even congratulated them when he brought out dessert which was an entirely Alfred thing to do and they should’ve known he knew exactly what was being said. They were able to stumble through more dinner conversation now that they were all on equal footing even if their parting was a little awkward.

Tim road the whole way back to his apartment, squeezing Jason like his life depended on it and grinning underneath the bike helmet he wore.

“You want to come up?” Tim asked after Jason pulled into the alley next to his complex and he’d dismounted, pulling off his helmet.

“Do you even have to ask?” Jason asked, raising an eyebrow in question.

“Sorry,” Tim said, trying to tamp down his grin and failing miserably. “I don’t want to coerce you into anything you might not want to do.”

“You always coerce me into doing everything for you, but it’s okay because I really don’t have any reason to object to doing those things,” he said with a smile.

Rather than walk through the front of the complex, Jason and Tim climbed up the fire escape, but Tim didn’t stop at his window. He kept climbing until he was on top of his roof.

“Any particular reason you brought me up here?” Jason asked, wrapping his arms around Tim from behind.

Tim closed his eyes and leaned his head back against Jason’s chest, readily accepting the kiss he planted on the top of his head.

“No,” he whispered. “I just wanted to take a moment and be with you. As weird as it sounds, this seemed like the least distracting place.”

“We’re vigilantes currently standing on a rooftop in Gotham,” Jason challenged.

Tim chuckled. “I did say ‘as weird as it sounds.’”

He let Jason support his weight for the moment, reveling in the sensation of his body being supported by his. It made everything more real. That they were there together. That nothing had managed to tear them apart yet even though so many things could’ve. It could’ve gone so differently. They could’ve stayed the same as they’d been before Tim had been sent back in time.

But they were different. They were together and something, somewhere-that wasn’t a crazy scientist with a time travel gun-had said that it would be okay for them to come together and be like this.

And that same thing had said it was still okay for them to be like this because as many adversaries that could’ve stayed in their path, didn’t. Dick supported them, Alfred supported them, and even Bruce wasn’t objecting to their relationship even if he still had understandable concerns.

The cool Gotham breeze ruffled Tim’s hair and he shivered, causing Jason to tighten his hold on him.

“If you’re cold we should just go inside. There’s no reason to stand outside and freeze our asses off,” Jason said.

Tim shook his head. “No. I want to stay out here for a little longer.”

They could hear sirens in the distance and the sky was quickly becoming darker. Bruce would be suiting up soon to take care of the citizens on the street and Tim knew he should be too. He needed to patrol and so did Jason, but like Jason had been so fond of teaching him, he was going to take that moment to be selfish.

“Jason?” he asked.

“Hmm?” he hummed.

Tim let out a heavy breath. “I know that things could’ve gone very different and if I hadn’t been sent back in time they would’ve been.”

Jason pulled him closer.

“But I’m glad they didn’t. I’m glad that we ended up here together even though so many things could’ve kept us apart and so many people had the opportunity to get in our way.”

Jason loosened his grip and turned Tim around to face him, cradling his cheek in his hand even as his other arm stayed wrapped around his back.

“I’m glad they didn’t either. If I didn’t have the chance to be with you, I would’ve mourned the loss of a relationship I never knew I needed.”

He dipped his head and met Tim’s lips in a kiss. Where the air was cold around them, Jason’s lips were warm. He pulled back and leaned their foreheads together. Tim kept his eyes shut for a moment, reveling in the feeling and the peace it offered him to stand there and just be.

“I love you, Tim,” Jason whispered.

Tim smiled and let his eyes flutter open so he could meet Jason’s bright gaze.

“I love you, too, Jason.”

The phantom memories of landing on that Gotham rooftop so many years ago played through his mind. He brought up the image of Jason curled up on the couch next to him and how heartbroken they’d both been at his departure. But it wasn't goodbye forever. And it never would be, because Tim knew, deep in his heart, they’d always manage to come back together again no matter how long it took.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the clarification. My brain sometimes just... skips over words, instead of absorbing them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Here,” he called back after recovering his breath. “I was finishing with the food. You hungry?” He asked popping his head out of the kitchen’s door — and yeah, he was right. Yamato was kneeling by Byakko’s side, hand scratching against Byakko’s back fur in a soft caress Hibiki could feel the ghost on his own skin. “Hey, Yamato.”

(I am unsure whether you know Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy... and/or the TV series based on it... and, more specifically, the idea of daemons that inspired this AU - which is, by the way, still part of the NaNo, because why not - but. Byakko is Hibiki’s daemon, which means touching Byakko is basically like touching a part of Hibiki’s soul, and it’s very, very intimate, and I started that story with this scene in mind. tho... not QUITE this scene, but... yes.)

I don’t even know what works for me. Sometimes I’ll write a story in a week (and by that I mean 5k+ oneshots), sometimes I’ll write it in a day (usually short stories, 2k words tops), sometimes in a month... sometimes I’ll take years to write just a couple chapters. Sometimes prompts work well to help me write, sometimes they just make me frustrated. It... honestly depends on how I am at the moment, I think.

Oh, my reactions to just about everything “problematic” is usually wondering why that is so problematic. Especially everything LGBTQIA+ related. Like. the moment I read about, I usually just sit there staring at nothing and thinking: “ok, sounds good, but why is it... such a big deal? does it need explanations...? labels...? can’t someone just be that and everyone else respect that...?” Anyway.

That’s absolutely valid, too. I just wish people could accept things without pressuring others to their expectations. I have a friend who’s ace but not aro, and she had to break up with more than one person because they just wouldn’t understand that. Which is bullshit and extremely cruel, in my opinion. And disgusting.

Aww. I didn’t know about the “only specials” this year. I knew it was gonna be shorter than an usual run, because it wouldn’t be able to be a whole 10 episodes season, but... I don’t know. I guess things hadn’t quite clicked yet. Anyway, I’ll be sad to see Jodie go. She’s such an incredible Doctor! :(

Midori is. ah. well. she’s... uhhh... very, very hyper about her likes... which is... admirable... but, honestly, she’s not the kind of person I’d know how to deal with. I’m already socially awkward enough without that. haha...

(besides, she and Keisuke? Ugh. They annoy me so much in the game, wow...)

Mm... besides Kanji, I like Nanako’s. I like the “adopted younger sister” thing. Dojima’s is... a bit... weird. but, I like Nanako’s, it’s just. sweet. Yosuke’s is cool, too, and I really would’ve liked if Teddie had a proper SLink (like how they gave Goro in Royal; that’d been cool), because he’s a sweetheart, too (despite... you know... his everything related to girls...), but the girls. Shit, the girls. I don’t... ugh. no.

Honestly, for the girls, I think Persona 5 is the one with the best SLinks. Sure, some of them are... very... ah, weird, let’s say, but... many of them are cool, too? I never thought I’d like Ann, but I do like her and her SLink. And, of course, I love Futaba’s. And the others are more or less ok, most of them.

(Makoto’s, though... just... no.)

But, yeah. I’d love if they learned to write better SLinks for the girls, wow... (I’d also love if they pulled another P3P and allowed us to play girls again, because I like playing girls, thanks)

And. the story. it’s so. In parts: it’s so sad and tragic and beautiful. It’s also one of the times I wanted to kill Bahamut the most, so, cheers!

But also. I spent half of it wondering how Noctis looked, since he had aged 10 years, in the game, and here he had been in the Crystal for 100, and I just couldn’t shake that question from my head, yay.

But, honestly, Ardyn just. having to wait. 100 years. for Noctis. fuck.

(and Noctis saying that Ardyn would let Bahamut win... darling, by this point, Ardyn wanted Bahamut to win. He’d wanted that for a long while, by then... because it also meant he would finally be done. I don’t think Ardyn wanted to live, by the time the game actually rolls around... so... yeah. bad argument, Noct.)

Anyway. Again, thanks for the recommendation, Cat! <3

@nagiru Here we go again, the long posts continue! Now to reference one of my favourite RPG series… God I miss the classic Phantasy Star games.

Oh, is that so? You kidnapped the sister of Laya’s greatest general, and you’re just now starting to think that it might not have been a good idea?

Keep reading

A Massive Spones Rec List

The Spones fandom is made up of some of the most talented people but is tiny and in need of more content. Due to this fact, there are significantly less Spones fics so I searched extra hard to compile a good, lengthy list of fics.. and somehow managed to find way more fics than I did for my Mckirk one?? Why am I such trash, help I need a life.

(Listed alphabetically: ** = favourite)

Addressed to the Damn Doctor by ElloPoppet | 2.5k, T

Spock writes McCoy a letter of confession, despite not quite knowing how to write a love letter. (A super sweet insight into Spock’s mind, especially on his thoughts on the Enterprise’s resident doctor.)

Best Medicine for the Worst Patient by gammadolphin | 8.5k, T

It’s a special kind of hell, becoming obsessed with the laughter of a man who barely even smiles unless he’s high or dying of blood loss. Leonard doesn’t handle it particularly well. (A hilariously frustrating fic in which Bones becomes a little too obsessed with trying to hear Spock laugh just once more.)

Blues March by IntuitivelyFortuitous | 7k, T

Leonard McCoy sees his friends bleed. He loves the blood when it is inside them, flushing their cheeks and warming their skin. When it colors his hands on the operating table, he can think of little but the time he has with them, and a minute is too long to waste. He’s not going to let Spock get away that easily. (Gruesome and sad yet somehow really sweet.)

The Body by therev | 13k, T

McCoy’s consciousness is transferred into an android body after a fatal accident. Spock helps him remember the man he used to be. (Wow a really creative and fascinating fic that could have gone totally wrong if it hadn’t been written by such a talented author.)

Body Temperature by MaidenofIron157 | 4.5k, G

Average Vulcan body temperature is approximately 8.6 degrees lower than humans’. It is only logical that Spock would eventually become cold within his lover’s quarters. The doctor comes up with a solution. (The blanket cocoon, the clothes sharing, Spock being in love with Leonard’s scent.. asdfghjkl too adorable to handle.)

Compassion Is a Virtue (But I Don’t Have the Time) by therev | 5k, E

McCoy and Spock switch bodies. Things get out of hand. (I love the way the author addresses the difference between human and Vulcan physiology. And you know, there’s also some sexy times too if you’re into that sort of thing.)

Do Vulcans Dream of Electric Doctors? by Neigedens | 4k, T

“It’s probably not even your fault, Spock,” he muttered. “I was probably destined to go mad in space some day anyway. You probably just made the process a lot more efficient. How typical.” Dr. McCoy has got Vulcan on the brain. Set during “The Search for Spock.” (The usual Spones banter but whilst sharing the same brain. Bonus: dream sharing.)

The Edge of Never by therev | 17k, T

Alternate ending to “City On The Edge of Forever”. Edith Keeler didn’t die. Jim couldn’t let her. The triumvirate are trapped in the past with an altered future. Jim must correct his mistake while Spock and Bones get domestic. Set in 1930s New York and rural Georgia. Mostly pining of the space doctor variety. (I didn’t know I needed domestic 30s Spones until I read this omg. And don’t let the 'slow build’ turn you off because it’s so worth it.)

Everything About You by sleepymccoy | 2.5k, G

A minor transporter accident has Bones and Scotty squabbling about safety while Spock watches. Spock gets lost in his own thoughts, thinking about his relationship with Bones. (‘Vulcans don’t get distracted,’ you say? Well you’re wrong because they can and the results can be incredibly adorable.)

Familiar by starstrung | 3.5k, T

The Romulans really need to stop shooting at their artificial gravity systems. (Almost like four ficlets in one if you will. All super heartwarming and nicely come together at the end. So well written!)

** Feigned Intimacy by IntuitivelyFortuitous | 4k, T

Jim was playing matchmaker again and McCoy was not happy about it. The fact that he had to spend the rest of the evening clinging to Spock like a damsel in distress was bad enough, but teaching him how to act like they were together? It’d be easier to cure Denobulan malaria. (Fake dating fics are hard to get right but this one is by far the best I’ve ever read. It’s so soft and sweet and fits TOS really well.)

Five Times Spock Was Interrupted While Trying to Confess His Love for McCoy and One Time He Wasn’t by therev | 3.5k, T

To be fair, he could have tried a lot harder, or spoken a bit faster. (One of the greatest 5+1 fics. And bonus points for that summary lol.)

Fragment by babel | 2.5k, T

McCoy deals with the aftermath of his mind meld with Spock in the mirror universe. (Post TOS ep “Mirror, Mirror”. Haunting but beautifully so.)

Insight by JiM | 4k, T

McCoy is the one who’s blind, but Spock has been slow to see. (Just. Excellent.)

** In Sickness… by mymetalphantom | 6k, G

Spock gets ill and not only does he have to deal with the illness, he also has to contend with his troublesome Human side. (Omg soft & sick Spock with a concerned Bones is just too cute I can’t deal. Also, the writing is incredible.)

In Vino Veritas by black_tea | 3k T

Bones over indulges at Jim’s party and ends up losing his impulse control thus forcing him to face the truth of the situation between himself and his Vulcan shipmate. (Post-Beyond fics are the absolute best and this one hits all the right spots. AND there’s an great sequel in which Spones goes swimming. Niceee.)

Last to Know by Dizzydodo | 19k, T

When Leonard is fatally injured, Spock attempts to save him with a bond. Unfortunately, Leonard mistakes this for an act of duty, and all Spock’s hints to the contrary go unnoticed. (The way the author wrote the bond as well as these two’s relationship was excellent.)

Long Last Night by Vera_DragonMuse | 23k, M

The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again. -Norman Mailer Two years after a terrible virus wipes out most of the world’s population, McCoy tries to keep mind and body together. Modern Post-Apocalypse AU. (I’m not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic stories but ohh boy I was completely sold on this one. Extremely well written and great characterization. Highly recommended!)

Nothing But Halves by therev | 11k, T

McCoy wishes he could talk to Spock’s human half. After a transporter malfunction, he can. (One Spock, two Spock.. Great fic that delves into Bones discovering Spock’s struggles with his human and Vulcan halves and how they’re not as different as they may seem.)

One Little Mistletoe Kiss by tprillahfiction | 1.5k, T

Spock and McCoy eat Christmas cookies and kiss under the mistletoe, Spock/McCoy style which means bickering and McCoy complaining and swearing. (SO HEARTWARMING. TOO MUCH FLUFF LET ME LIVE.)

Our Doubts Make Us Traitors by LogicalBookThief | 5k, T

Dealing with what did and didn’t occur on Altamid leaves McCoy incapable of sleeping. Paying his most recent patient a visit seems to be the only cure. (What can I say? I just really love post-Beyond fics.)

Perfectly Logical by Zauzat | 4k, T

Kirk has had enough of Spock and McCoy’s public squabbles. He orders them to sort it out. He just doesn’t anticipate the solution they come up with. (Love the way the author handled both mind melds and the boys’ relationship. A+)

The Placebo Effect by IntuitivelyFortuitous | 3k, T

Alright, maybe he should listen to Spock more often. Maybe he should not drink everything that gets put in front of him. In his defense, it was purple and sparkly no human with a decent sense of curiosity could resist at least a sip. He didn’t expect it to give him a sixth sense, though. (A really original and creative fic that’s also hilariously well written. Loved it.)

** Satisfactory by Damalur | 5.5k, G

Advancing in a relationship with Leonard McCoy only seems logical, particularly after Spock hears that the good doctor carried his katra in another life. (My first and possibly favourite Spones fic. Well characterized, hilarious, and sweet.)

something borrowed, something new by kojafras | 1k, NR (I’d say G)

Spock gives Leonard a tracking device. Leonard is less than thrilled. (A hilariously adorable post-Beyond fic that captures their relationship perfectly.)

Somewhere Only We Know by sullacat | 14k, M

Spock and McCoy find themselves thrust into a new world and a new life. Can they work together to find their way home - or is being lost the best thing that ever happened to them? Reboot of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'The Inner Light’. (Wow such an amazing AU. I love how both Spock and Bones are written and how they slowly fall in love. Gahhh my heart.)

Surgeon’s Mate by belmanoir | 4.5k, T

Spock likes McCoy. McCoy won’t take a hint. (The ultimate TOS fic.)

** volatile; handle with caution by starstrung | 8.5k, T

Spock moves in with McCoy in his lab and they have to learn to share the same space. (One of my absolute faves. Their voices are written perfectly and the plot is simple, but very very effective.)

Recommended authors:

all writers of the fics listed above of course

especially starstrung and therev, a couple of each of their fics are on this list but they have many other superb Spones fics

IntuitivelyFortuitous has an amazing Spones Oneshots series. I reced 3/5 of the fics in the series (so far?), but I highly recommend the other 2 as well

Think I missed any fics? Have a rec for me? Send in an ask! (Seriously, I love receiving asks, please feel free to send away)
