#Mending Wounds

[tojisun]

god. big burly man like simon pulling you close to slow dance in your kitchen. and it’s cramped and the summer heat is unforgiving but he is so gentle, so beautiful, as he sways the two of you. you don’t even understand how this came to be—what pushed him to cradle you softly—but your heart twinges and your eyes water, and there is something incredibly sweet in dancing to the silence.

later, he will tell you this—i jus’ wanted to do it. it looked like the right thing to do with you.

​(or, simon doesnt know how to say goodbye so he leaves with you this one last memory.)

Solas after your trials and fighting Elgar'nan clearly compensating for something archdemon, are you getting rest. You looked so tired?

I am well. Easy fight.

In Lieu of Flowers - Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties

[euripidestrousers]

One thing I love so much about fanfiction is we have our own language where you can understand exactly what kind of story you're getting into without spoiling the plot.

It's a one bed AU: perfect, I'm in for get-together pining culminating in well-written smut.

I love it so much, I wish looking for books was this easy (I know there are search functions like that on some sites but it's just not the SAME)

The world is really scary sometimes so don’t forget to take your meds

healer higuchi theory is waking me up to all kinds of higusano possibilities. if she really was assigned to akutagawa because of his illness then that would mean it’s both of their jobs to heal people who are on the verge of death. hmm

Mending Your Double Wounds (A Karen x Sato Fanfic)

2 months after failing to kill Natsumi Kuzuryu and getting left by Mahiru Koizumi, Haruka Sato, while after a therapy session with Miaya, encounters a unique girl that catches her interest and tries to discover what she is trying to hide.

This is the first ever Kisato (Karen x Sato) Fanfic you'll ever see, i am personally very proud of this work myself and thought that i did a good job.

But if there are any criticisms you may have about it, please comment them, i am trying my best to improve as a writer and your word can help out a lot. And hey, you're also free to ask out any questions you have about it!

Anyways, Kisato Peak

So thrilled that I can listen to Agnes Obel again without immediately getting the sense memory of the last person I was dating breaking up with me at like, 8am via text while I was listening to her during my commute looool I am So Healed now. So healed for real.

now imagine how a room where they fucked would've looked like

[lettertoholly]

how it feels to ignore the plot, and turn to fanfiction

[cattyanon]

I don't think I've ever laughed in absurdity at something before today, much less something directed at me. The levels of irony were just so fucking absurd!!!

[leconcombrerit]

Yeah a character dying when they're so broken and jaded that they just don't have it in them to fight anymore is sad, but you know what's even worse?

A character fighting tooth and nails in the face of everything that's happened to them, stubbornly refusing to give up even when there's no hope or help or salvation or even respite in sight, bleeding and bruised by every turn of the narrative dying anyway. All that will to live, all this bravery, all this strength and yet it's all for nothing because the world doesn't care.

This is what gets to me.

A little mend here that I was pleasantly surprised worked, I fixed the fraying bits on my book-shaped wallet! Figured that red thread works quite well with the themes of War of the Worlds.

First up, we've got some simple stitches perpendicular to the edge of the wallet, think a blanket stitch but the thread doesn't run through the loop created. Honestly, there are probably more complex ways I could have stitched that vinyl "leather" back onto the fabric and cardboard of the book structure, but I figured these simple stitches would be faster, and work just fine.

Second, on a slightly larger tear on the "spine" corner, I did some randa stitching! This actually draws from a style of embroidery I'm almost completely unfamiliar with, most popular in Brazil, so I may be labeling it wrong. If you know better, let me know! It's a sort of baseball-stitching like process, I was roughly following this video as a tutorial: https://vm.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8TNMKw9/

and also this one to understand how to get started: https://vm.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8TNrMML/ (Excuse the tiktok links, but I am not immune to the allure of short video on occasion! I even have posts of my own, every now and again)

I actually need to do similar rim-lining on the other three corners, as the adhesive is starting to come off, and that'll hold it still enough to solve the problem.

Also, some miscellaneous adventures in hemming patches properly! A process that proved MUCH simpler once I found my rolled hem foot. These two patches came out quite good, actually! straight stitching, for the most part, and relatively even folds.

It was much simpler to get the hems just so on a larger patch like this one, thankfully! I'm actually really pleased with the way this one in particular came out, and hopefully, I can make something pretty with it on the thigh of the jeans it goes with. (yes, that's why the patches are numbered, so I can keep track of where they go in the stack!)

Even despite how well things went overall with the patches, I still fumbled, got a bit hasty in trying to get the corner of one of the later patches through the machine. Said haste had me trying to shove shove, cram cram the fabric through the foot to get it hemmed, turns out, don't do that! Results in bending the needle on my machine! Oof!

Luckily, the machine came with some spare needles, so it only slowed me down a little bit!

the fade responds to expectations and intentions and amadea could Expect there to be a nice cozy sweater for solas but instead it's yarn and she sits next to him in bed knitting him a sweater while he heals from the Everything. and that is about a bazillion times more meaningful.
