#I wrote this one MONTHS ago and I'm so excited the plot finally caught up

[cyantomatos]

I had started ESWF a while ago and lost it before I finished — just now finally found it again and finally caught up after going insane for months trying to remember it and this is just such a beautiful piece of writing I had to come scream at you about it. The plot? The characters? The dialogue? Ellaria calling her Sunshine? Flawless. Amazing. Showstopping. Brilliant. It is a crime that this doesn’t have thousands more reblogs and likes!

I love love love that you took the “girl falls into the story” kind of trope and made it interesting and captivating and not cookie cutter, and I love the journey she’s on with magic and Amphise. (Also Amphise by the way? I adore her and she’s wonderful and hilarious and such a perfect mentor character!!!)

Also her walking away once she thinks Ellaria and Oberyn are focused on the baby??? MY HEART.

Of course no pressure to get the next chapters out but I will be waiting patiently and excitedly to see what’s next for them!

I opened this ask around family and had to genuinely try not to cry, I love you anon 😭

You have no idea how much this helped, because I came up with the plot for ESWF in the spring of 2021, so I've known the ending for two and a half years now and I genuinely cannot tell anymore if it's an interesting plot or if I'm writing something boring and predictable. For the last like year this has been pretty much the only thing I've wrote, minus a couple things here and there, because writing has become such a slog for me recently but I am determined to see this series through to the end, and knowing someone was looking for it and enjoys it as much as you do is such a treasure.

I don't even remember what the original plot bunny that started it was, I just remember laying on my bed in my dorm after we'd watched more episodes of The Clone Wars working out a story with my friends about a girl that gets sucked into another world to meet her soulmates and being so excited about the concept, and it makes me so happy to know that others are excited about it too ❤

A side note, ESWF has actually evolved somewhat since I outlined it originally. For one thing, we're actually three chapters over what we were supposed to be at this point in the story because a couple plot points ended up needing more space, and there's a couple things that got scratched entirely. Originally it was just Oberyn she was avoiding, and by this point Ellaria had kissed her (which was going to work into Ellaria teasing Oberyn that she was the first to kiss Reader and holding it over his head, which I still want to work in somehow). The confrontation with Rylan demanding she marry him originally didn't have Ellaria involved(it was also much less of a "confrontation" in the outline and more of her trying to politely reject him), and Oberyn was supposed to save her from that and then the "I won't be another conquest" convo happened directly after. It's certainly been a lesson in not sticking too closely to the plan and letting the plot unfold as it happens rather than worrying about your outline!

I also looked back at my outline just now and saw "Reader is given the choice to work on these powers or let them eventually fade away, decides to work on them" which is hilarious considering I did write into cannon that she could go insane and start toppling kingdoms if she ignores them.

I thought I knew all your on going projects but apparently not! :D If you don't mind me asking about some of them? (NOT full on spoilers but maybe tell us a little bit about them?) Eboy // Twitch Streamer, Plane delay, Frian fight, Post ‘91 Dom/Sub, Witch AU(have you talked about this before? did I somehow missed it?) Reincarnation, Air Bubble AU, Alice in Wonderland. I'm sorry I know I ask a lot but I'M JUST VERY INVESTED IN YOUR WRITINGS OKAY I love you *cue Lady Gaga's paparazzi*

Ihad like 80% of the answer done, but then I accidentally closed out of the browser,so then I gave up for the night and just wrote more on a different story, buttoday, we try again!

 Hopefully, I avoided spoilers?

Oh, long post ahead!!

Eboy// Twitch Streamer

 Okayso borrowing from the aesthetic of an Eboy, or “soft boy” mixed with egirlculture but ignoring a lot of that gross subculture (fun fact these things meantwo different things but I’m using them as one because I’m lazy.

BasicallyJohn is an accidental eboy, Roger has a pretty decent sized following, but oneday he invited John to be in one of his videos, and then John got a lot of peoplefollowing him because of it. And while he’s not super thrilled about it, fansdo tend to donate to his koi-foi or paypal or whichever so he can’t exactlycomplain when all he has to do is make a video about something and make himselflook “soft.” Freddie helps them both with it, but their videos do talk aboutscience things or cars or music.

Thenthere’s Brian, who gained a following on Twitch, because he was bored one dayand decided to play Animal Crossing. Because of the game and his voice, itpicks up popularity as a very relaxing stream to watch. Brian will just rambleabout anything from his classes to his music to deep questions, occasionallybreaking it up by shouting about something happening in game. He like overshares, but not about his personal life.

Johnfinds the channel one night when he’s going through a very high anxiety phase,and starts at Day 1, and by the time he’s caught up it’s already late afternoonand may have developed an accidental crush on the streamer. He thinks it’ll goaway because it was an exposure crush.

Spoiler,it doesn’t really.

Brianis also a lowkey fan of Roger and John’s channel, because he likes learningabout the things they talk about + and they’re both very cute (even if hispreference is the brunette with the beautiful smile), so win-win.

Theymeet when they’re both (John and Brian) invited to be parts of different panelsat a con.

Therest is as they say, history, or a massive amount of pining, long distancerelationships, drama, at least one break up, and Freddie being a saint forputting up with this.

Planedelay

 Basedon the time that I was stuck on a tarmac for two hours because it was anopen-exit and there was lightning within 15 miles but it happened to be Floridaso there’s always lightning and they only checked every 15 minutes.

Brian’sbeen away trying to get big name donations for his charity, as well as doing a lecturetour on campuses. It’s been fun, and exciting to not just be Brian May, Queen’sGuitarist, but two months in the states (alone) is more than he can really beexpected to enjoy. He is so very ready to get home and not leave his house (ormore specifically his bed) for the next week reconnecting with his boys.Calling had simply not been enough. So here comes the big day of him gettingback to the UK.

Firsthis plane gets delayed for almost a full twelve hours due to mechanical issues.So now he has to mope around the air port for over fifteen hours (and that’sbeing optimistic that the plane won’t be delayed further).

Aftera quick call to his boys about the delay (to which Freddie whined about andRoger got irritated about and John just said they’d make sure a car would gethim), Brian sits by his gate and pouts.

Hedoes end up writing some very sappy love songs as presents and managing tocatch a few hours of sleep.

Anywaythe plane is only eighteen hours late by the time it fully touches down. Therest of the flight is pretty uneventful, sans Brian’s mind drifting to what he’sgoing to do when he sees his boys when he finally gets to their house (air portreunions aren’t exactly possible now with the fame they’ve accrued over the years)

Butwhen they touch the tarmac there’s a problem with the ramp. Mechanical failureof some kind, so he’s stuck again for a few hours while they move one toreplace it. Brian is literally so exhausted that by the time he grabs his bagsall he can imagine is sleep.

Frianfight

 Oneof the first (and I think only?) Frian things I’ve written was about themgetting into a fight during Hot Space and Brian basically ending it, this is thefollow up to that

Post‘91 Dom/Sub

 Soafter Freddie dies and John grows distant with the Roger and Brian beforeultimately leaving the relationship, Brian and Roger hadn’t gotten into thatusual type of scene. They had sex, sure, and sometimes it was kinky, but itwasn’t any of the dynamic that they had before. When Brian finally gets upsetenough to ask for it (part of his brain is telling him that Roger doesn’t wanthim anymore etc), Roger has to figure out to do what John did.

WitchAU

//this is an ask that I have, but it got kind of out of hand orwill when I actually type it out

 MainlyI fell in love with the world (Sammy falling in love with world building, tellme it isn’t so) but hopefully the plot is super interesting

So,summarizing the ask text:

1)it’s possibly going to be a fem!queen au (I haven’t actually figured that outyet because I had such a weird relationship with those types of AUs)

2)John, Roger, and Freddie (for the sake of organization we’re using their realnames) are a coven

3)Brian has been dealing with spirits and visions since he was little, but hedidn’t know that he was a witch

Butthe spirits take a heavy mental toll on Brian: depression, anxiety, andinsomnia. When he meets the other three things surprisingly get a little better.

Briandevelops a crush on all of them, proceeds to panic and not tell them about it,and suffers in silence (so the unusual).

Nowthe plot revolves around Queen being a particularly powerful coven (each havingrare Gifts) and other witches in the world not exactly happy about that. One inparticular (a combination of a lover scorned and someone who has always wantedpower) decides that she’s going to stop them from having the power they possess.Her target? Brian, who has no idea that he’s a witch, much less come into hispowers. So basically this witch keeps getting more and more aggressive with herattempts. At first it was trying to distance him from the others (which Johndragged him back handily talking about how stupid Brian is, and that of coursethey want him around), her next step was to distract him from finding out his heritage,then to try and  turn him against theothers (now she’s using magic for this) but Freddie manages to counter thespell, and finally she moves on to straight up trying to murder him.

Andthe spell she uses? It might very well succeed.

Reincarnation

Iwrote this as a prompt a long time ago, where if you look into the eyes of yoursoulmate, you remember your previous life with Maylor I ended up writing, orstarting to write John’s reintroduction 

AirBubble AU

MyMerfolk AU, that was the Thought of the Day a few days ago

Alicein Wonderland

Brian,later on in Queen’s career once again falls ill with hepatitis (in the late 80s),and his fever dream basically makes him go on this adventure (because they hadjust watched the animated movie the night before this all flared up).Sothis one involves rapid shifting from fever dream to real life.Oh,and it’s going to be a little bit of a darker Wonderland. Going from say, thatthing resembles a deer to that thing was never a deer.

An Unexpected Call

He was so caught up in the book when the phone rang that he didn’t bother to look at the caller id before answering it. Which is why the voice that hesitantly asked “Hello?” took him so completely by surprise. “Mom?” “Sammy, oh I’m so glad you answered. Your sister thought you’d changed your number—I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get ahold of you.” “Is something wrong?” “No! No…well, I don’t know.” An expectant pause. “Sam?” “Yes?” “Is something wrong?” “I’m fine.” “I haven’t seen you in so long.” “I’ve been busy.” “I know. I know. I hear you’re a real doctor now.” He began to explain that he was almost able to make that claim, that he still had a few steps left, but she cut him off: “Sam, I’m so proud of you.” He grit his teeth, stood, and started pacing the room, wishing she would either get to the point or just hang up. There was a long pause in which neither of those things seemed likely to happen. Finally, he asked bluntly, “Was there something you wanted?” “As a matter of fact… I wanted to ask…” “Yes?” “Will I be invited to the wedding?” “What?” “Because if I am, I need to find something to wear. Do you have a color scheme yet?” “Mom, I…how did you know?” “Oh, I heard it through the grapevine.” He tried not to notice the reproach in her voice. “I don’t…I’m not sure…” “I’m not asking you to invite your father, or anyone else, Sam; I just want to know if I’m allowed to see my boy get married.” “Mom,” he was struggling to find a safe way to phrase the question, to broach a topic he’d never mentioned to her, “Do you know—who—I’m marrying?” “The grapevine didn’t have a lot of details Sam. I expect you preferred it that way.” “I don’t think you would actually want to be there.” “Samuel Gridley Howe don’t you dare say that to me. I am your mother and when I say I want to see you get married and be happy you can damn well believe that I mean it.” “Charles.” “What?” “Charles. That’s his name. My fiancé’s name is Charles.” “Oh.” Another lengthy pause. Even through the phone Sam could practically hear the gears of her mind whirring at top speed as she tried to take this in. “And…you love him?” “I do.” “You’re happy?” “Yes.” “Are you ever going to tell me if I’m invited to the wedding?”
