#Some fun

[sunshinebingo]

Gwyn and Azriel stumble across Rhys as they leave for their date.

Gwynriel with a dash of Gwynsand - 700 words

For @lulling-night-sky who is a sucker for fluff and anything that has to do with Rhysand (except my fics where he gets beaten up)

***

“Ready?” Azriel asked Gwyn after having gaped at her in awe for a while.

Gwyn beamed, her heart fluttering at how flustered she had – not for the first time – rendered the usually stoic Spymaster, and nodded excitedly.

She had been looking forward to this moment for the entire day. Even as she had fed and played with Nyx, her thoughts had kept going back to Azriel and their upcoming evening together.

Having happily agreed to spend the day looking after the little lord with Nesta at the River House so that his parents could focus on their duties, Gwyn had decided to bring everything that she would need and get ready for her date with Azriel here instead of asking someone to winnow or fly her back to the House of Wind. Besides, Emerie and her had spent so much time here with the inner circle that the High Lord and Lady always had a guest room reserved for them.

She took the hand that Azriel offered and followed him from the bottom of the staircase to the foyer. From the living area, she heard the voices of Nesta and Cassian who was enthusiastically responding to the prattling of Nyx, as well as Feyre who had returned while Gwyn was stressing out over whether to put her hair up or leave it down.

She had gone with the third option proposed by Nesta to tie the top half up with a pretty silver hair stick gifted to her by Emerie for Solstice. The best thing about it was the thin dagger hidden inside that could potentially come in handy. She might be going out with one of deadliest – and most handsome – male alive, but she was still a Valkyrie who loved daggers, especially when they were disguised as pretty accessories.

“You are breathtaking.”

Gwyn blushed from his compliment. Emerie and Nesta were right about the fact that her little black dress was the ideal choice. It was also a perfect match to Azriel’s entirely black attire.

“So are you, Shadowsinger.”

His answering smile almost made her trip on her own feet. He brought their intertwined hands to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

Azriel opened the door and started to leave when another set of footsteps was heard coming their way. Looking to her left, Gwyn saw Rhysand strolling towards them with his hands in his pockets, no doubt having completed his work for the day and ready to reunite with his mate and son.

“Bye Rhys.” She waved a hand at him.

Gwyn still couldn’t believe how close they have become over the past few years. Sometimes they were a High Lord and a Valkyrie who worked together for the well-being of those they cared for, other times they were confidants who listened and offered support. Sometimes they were like protective siblings who looked out for each other, oftentimes they were the type of siblings who teased and pestered the other. But at the core of all these versions of them were mutual respect and care. The kind of bond that Gwyn never thought that she would ever have. None of the relationships that she had forged so far had been expected, yet they were all precious in their own way.

“Be home by midnight,” he ordered, pursing his lips to stop the smile that was threatening to break on his lips. His violet eyes sparkled like the first stars that had started to appear in the sky. Azriel snorted at the curfew that his brother was imposing on Gwyn.

“Fuck off.” She rolled her eyes. “You’re not my father.”

Rhys crossed his arms and puffed his chest. The arrogant asshole, she thought.

“I’m old enough to be.”

Gwyn laughed. She squeezed Azriel’s hand and dragged him out of the door, eager to finally be alone with him.

“You’re old enough to be the cauldron’s father,” she shouted at Rhys before slamming his own door shut in his face.

The sound of Rhys’ gasp on the other side of the door was covered by the chuckle that Azriel let out beside her. What a lovely way to start their evening!

Countryside memories about summer 2024. Bicycle. Excellent, by the way, I ride with sand, and countryside roads. Under the feet - it is sand. Stone. Even asphalt. And around - it is field.

And full summer 2024. It was amazing and cool! Hot and warm! It were a rains, even strong too. But not a lot! Mainly, full hot weather! And I am with a bicycle! So, I ride under the sun, here and there. It was cool! Countryside memories!

It is one thing to be sad – that summer is ends! And bicycle – it is excellent theme for a countryside! And in everything else it is so cool, that as a nostalgia about 80s. Something like that, my 2024 year, summer! Bicycle. Country house. Such a summer it was! Something like - it was in 1986. This was 2024 year, summer at the countryside and with a bicycle!

Writer Asks

I love doing these! They hardly ever come around anymore and I miss these. Thank you @bitchbrisket for sending this my way.

How many works do you have on AO3?

36

What’s your total AO3 word count?

664,309

What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly The Worst Witch 2017, but there’s also a couple of Bletchley Circle fics on there, as well as an unpublished Xena and a Rosemary and Thyme wip.

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Divine

Into the Great Wide Open

One Thing Leads to Another

Ghost

Winter Song

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to always comment. Comments are a gift and I want to recognize the time someone took tell me they liked my work. Plus, I love talking about writing and stories and all that.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Life has enough angst already, I don’t need to add to it with my fics. I much prefer a happy ending. That said, since I’ve left everyone hanging on Stella Caeli for 6 months (I’m so sorry!) and it’s at a disaster cliffhanger, it would be that. I am almost done with the next installment, though, so hopefully soon it won’t be angsty either.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Maybe Divine? That’s the last part of Hecate’s Summer Playlist. Either that or An Uncertain Spring

Do you get hate on fic?

I haven’t yet.

Do you write smut?

It probably comes as a surprise to most of my readers, but yes. Just not in any of the stuff I’ve written for TWW or posted on AO3

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Not really, though I do enjoy letting Rosemary and Thyme make a cameo every now and then. I’m not against them, just haven’t done it.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I’m aware.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but Sparky probably deserves a co-writing credit for all of the work she’s put in to my fics.

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

This is a toughie. Certainly, Hecate Hardbroom and Pippa Pentangle – or Hecate and Ada Cackle – or Hecate and Julie Hubble. Honorable mentions include Jean McBride and Millie Harcourt, Xena and Gabrielle, Jenny Flint and Madame Vastra, Rosemary and Thyme, Lady Hardcastle and Flo, SuperCorp, Laventon and Cyllene… The list really could go on.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?

Probably my first fic – a massive crossover with characters from everywhere, a healthy dose of Mary Sue-manship, a bizarre premise that turned out to be not so bizarre when six months or a year after I started it, Galaxy Quest sort of had the main plot point.

What are your writing strengths?

I feel like dialogue is what I do best, followed by plotting.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Action sequences. They feel very stilted to me.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Sure, write it. I've had bilingual characters.

First fandom you wrote for?

Not counting that first atrocity, Xena and Gabrielle – though technically it’s a Mel & Janice one.

Favourite fic you’ve written?

That is like picking a favorite child, isn’t it? Well, I shan’t be in denial about it. Hecate’s Summer Playlist holds a special place in my heart, closely followed by An Uncertain Spring and All Roads Lead to Home.

If you'd like to play, I'll tag @emiline-northeto @curlywitch14 @hydr0phius @cassiopeiasara and anyone else who'd like to join in.

Hi, Everyone!Let's do this fun challenge together!

What's a Broken Phone Challenge?

It's like a game of telephone, but instead of whispering in your ear, you get a super blurry image and have to draw what you think it is before it is send on to the next artist in line, who gets your equally blurred artwork to make their own interpretation.

Each participating artist will be given a two weeks timeframe to finish their artwork, before it is send on.

Pairings: Destiel & Reed900

Theme: Beginnings

>>SIGN UP FORM

All participants are welcome and encouraged to join the "Artsy Streamers" Discord Server for updates and additional fun. (If you decide against joining for whatever reason, make sure to check your mail often!)

🎨  Interpret the blurred artwork in your style

🎨  You can take liberties, but still stay true to what you (think you) see and the Pairing

🎨 No NSFW art Interpretation's allowed (this time)

🎨  You have to finish your artwork in two weeks, there will be no Check-In

🎨  If you struggle with your timeframe please tell Klayr as soon as you can, so adjustment's can be made

🎨  AI-Art is not allowed.

🎨  It's possible to sign up for both pairings (Fill in the Sign-Up two times)

🎨  At the end of the challenge, a masterpost will be posted on Klayr's social Medias with the compilation of all art-chains. A small version of your art will be included and you will be tagged accordingly!

🎨  After the challenge has finished and the compilation image has been posted you can post your art on social media!

🎨  If you have any questions you can ask in the discord server  or send Klayr a dm

🎨  Have fun!

Other things to know:

The Starting Artist will be randomly selected. Before the start of phase 1, everybody will be contacted to confirm they are okay with the timeframe they will be given.

If there are more then 7 participants (per pairing) multiple groups will be formed. (That can have an impact on how many phases there will be and when the challenge will end. If everything changes, information will be send around accordingly!)

After finishing your Art, you will send it back to the Mods, and they will blur it and send it on. So neither you know who will draw your artwork, nor will the person after you know who made their blurry inspiration.

Important Dates:

Sign-Up Open: 10th February

Sign-Up Close: 26th FebruaryBefore 1st March: Check in about timeframes

Phase 1: 1st March - 14th March

Phase 2: 15th March - 28th March

Phase 3: 29th March - 11th April

Phase 4: 12th April - 25th April

Phase 5: 26th April -  9th May

Phase 6: 10th May - 23th May

Phase 7: 24th May - 6th Juny

Reveal: 10th of Juny

For those asking... yes, I had to make this. Lol. Every once in a while, I need to do things for me. ^_^ Also, I realized late that I somehow lost SP during damage, but I'm too lazy to fix it. 😅

Ace Attorney Plot Bunnies + HCs collection 2/26/23

As I’ve been playing through the Ace Attorney series, I had quite a few ideas.  I wanted to share them, mostly for fun.  I’ll probably think up more as I go along.  These are the smaller ones for now.  My larger AU I mentioned on 2/1 will need its own post because so much has gone into it (and it’s still being added on to!)

Contradictions

Neither Wright or Edgeworth can watch TV shows with legal scenes in them.  They start nitpicking the inaccuracies.  And it’s actually Phoenix who gets more worked up about defense lawyers who are portrayed as dumb.

“You idiot, why aren’t you objecting?”

The Detective Accused

Initial idea: In the very first game almost the entire recurring cast was on the defendant stand (Even Nick himself) - except for Gumshoe

Gumshoe gets falsely accused of murder.

Nick meets Edgeworth who's apparently acting as detective in his place.

"Wait.  If you're the detective then who's the prosecutor-"

The prosecutor on this case is none other than Franziska von Karma

In an earthquake 

Wright and Edgeworth are meeting somewhere (maybe a cafe? I have the idea they’re on more friendly terms past case 1-4.) An earthquake happens and they have to take cover.  

It’s Edgeworth taking the lead at first getting them to the safest place, but then he just can’t fight his fear anymore and starts disassociating.  Wright tries what works in court, and says anything to get Edgeworth talking.  This slowly brings Edgeworth back, allows him to ground himself.  

(It might be kind of funny if Phoenix started a (legal) argument just to get Miles focused on anything else!) 

(Another topic could be the Steel Samurai show.)

By the time they’re done talking, the earthquake has long passed.  And Edgeworth can actually control his breathing after the fact.

Human Shield

“What if Gumshoe took a bullet for Edgeworth and he had to continue an investigation without his trusted detective?”

Becoming his Hero

Chaos ensues either during an investigation or a trial.  Phoenix is about to get swept up into the riot, when someone in a Steel Samurai costume takes him to safety.  The Steel Samurai reveals himself to be Edgeworth.  (I have no idea why Edgeworth dressed up.  I just thought it’d be funny.)

The Dream

This is a dream I had between AA games 1 and 2.

In the middle of a court case, a portal opens to a parallel dimension.  The cast meets palette swap versions of themselves, with different personalities.

There was some light angst in Nick saying "Maybe in this world, Edgeworth...." (Is still alive)

Then the real Edgeworth showed up, along with a parallel version of him with blue hair and a blue suit (Miles von Karma.)

Edgeworth’s fever

(A scene I imagined waking up one morning.) It's just before a trial and ...

Phoenix: I wonder where Edgeworth is.  It's not like him to run late.

Gumshoe: Haven't you heard, pal?  Mr. Edgeworth's not coming to court today.

Maya and Phoenix: Whaaaat??

Phoenix: Why isn't he coming?  Did something happen?!

Gumshoe: He's sick. I came to brief him on the case this morning as usual, and he was in bed with a fever.  

Phoenix: A fever?  It's not too bad, is it?

Maya: Is he going to be okay?

Gumshoe: He looked a bit better once I fetched him some medicine.  He told me it tasted terrible.

Phoenix: Leave it to him to find something to complain about.

Gumshoe: Before I left his apartment, he told me to pass along a message along to ya, pal.

Maya: A message?

Phoenix: What did he have to say?

Gumshoe: He got a real serious look on his face and said "Tell Wright he better not even think of quitting this case, or doing any less than his best.  I'll be watching the news to know how this trial goes."

Phoenix: Yeah, that sounds like him alright. (How is he putting pressure on me when he's not even here??)

Maya: Not to worry!  We're gonna give it our all, right, Nick?

Phoenix: ..!  Uh, yeah.  Of course we will!  (I hope I sounded more confident than I feel!)

Phoenix visits Edgeworth at his apartment after the trial (keeping his word and seeing it through.)

And while Edgeworth is still himself (bickering with Phoenix but also praising him for his determination) - he's also in his PJs, having soup from a mug along with green tea and he's been watching Steel Samurai reruns ever since the trial ended.

**(Possible addition, possible separate idea)

Edgeworth's favorite episode happens to come on.  One Edgeworth says is underrated compared to one of the bigger, more dramatic season finales

The episode is "Tales of Neo Olde Tokyo" similar to the Avatar verse Tales of Ba Sing Se.

It has short stories featuring the Steel Samurai and his sidekicks going about their lives in the city as a "calm before the storm" in what will be the season finale.

And there's an emotional scene of the Steel Samurai singing a song of remembrance to his departed older brother, the Iron Samurai.  Who died protecting the city from the Evil General (the Evil Magistrate's dad) in a "taking you with me" fight.

And by the time the song reaches the end even Nick is crying.

("I didn't know Will Powers could sing like that!")
