#I have some other overused phrases but I think they kind of rotate out when I notice them and then I get new ones lolsob

🍋 What’s your favorite spicier trope to write?

I avoid writing spice 👀 I've only written it once before, though I have two fics lined up that will require spice (the characters are bullying me), so I don't know what my favorite to write is yet but maybe I will figure it out 🤣😭

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

so, many- commas,, and- other,,, separators-

Thanks for the ask!!

For the ask meme! 🍍, 🍏, and 🍑?

Pineapple: What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

Wildly variable, I'm afraid, depending on the canon and what would be different from the canon. I don't know if there's any AU as a whole that I have beef with (the one fanfic I read where Viktor and Yuuri were doping still haunts me, though).

If we're getting personal, the one AU that I apply to almost every fandom, in the safety of my own head, is the one where characters have access to a psychic, who can show them other characters' perspectives or what's happening to they at times when they weren't there or couldn't see. I like to think of how characters peripheral to the action, whatever the action is, would react to it, so I do that a lot. I'll never write it down, it's just for me, but it's fun!

Green apple: Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

I think I am also a semicolon-overuser. For The Arrangement, my editor went through and highlighted every time I used the words "utter(ly)" or "mere(ly)" and I almost cringed out of my skin, though that's a relic of my "period" style, not all my writing. I also like whichever dash this is: —

Peach: If you could make a connection between your favorite character and another work you care about (whether a crossover/fusion or a wonderfully “pretentious” literary reference) what would it be? How would it work?

Oooh, good question....

I'll do two. For Chris Giacometti... Maybe Maurice, or Bright Young Things? I haven't actually seen BYT, just gifsets of Michael Sheen, but I deeply want to throw Chris into the interwar homosexual scene. And that gifset of Michael Sheen is almost exactly how I pictured Chris in Blackbird.

And for the blorbo currently occupying all my thoughts, Henry DuBois IV, I want him in modern times or close to. I don't think this really counts, but I've been listening to a lot of Elton John while rotating him in my mind like a rotisserie chicken, and some sort of Bernie Taupin-style collaboration would be fun for him, given that he canonically writes the music to his boyfriend's lyrics. Not really a fictional work, but it's the best I can think of.

Thanks!
