Prompt: “How am I supposed to focus when you look at me like that?”

Thank you for the tag @littlemarianah (A Streak of Luck) and @tetheredfeathers (Kiss Me)!

Tagging: @waywardangel-wilds @thesunpersists @rarepairheathen or anyone feeling inspired!

Update: Is he really your crush if you don’t knit him an ugly Scarf by @thesunpersists and this drabble by @waywardangel-wilds

Inspired by a joke made about Haymitch Parent-Trap-ping Everlark during the CF training-like-careers period (can’t find the post but I think it was @thesweetnessofspring)

“How am I supposed to focus when you’re standing over my shoulder like that?!” the girl snaps.

Haymitch’s head is pounding. Between the workouts, the lack of sleep, and withdrawal it’s always pounding. This constant bickering isn’t helping either.

“Yeah, and if you can’t do this with me here, how will you manage with the whole country staring over your shoulder in the arena?” The boy snarks back.

Haymitch guffaws and the girl glares at him before directing her ire back towards the boy, teeth gritted in a snarl, “This is stupid! I know how to make a fire. I’m done here.”

“Katniss,” the kid warns, “we have another half hour till lunch.”

She huffs, “I’ll go run laps then.” The boy opens his mouth, but she cuts him off, “alone!” She turns on her heels and Haymitch watches as he reaches out as if to stop her, before changing his mind and dropping his hand as she storms off.

Pathetic.

The mentor clicks his tongue when she’s out of earshot, “you need to take care of that.”

The boy shrugs and begins packing up supplies, “it’s fine, laps are good too. I know she can start a fire.”

“Then maybe you should practice containing one.” He didn’t think it could be worse than before the Victory tour when they were both mopey and sullen. “When has being at odds like this ever worked in either of your favors?”

“Yeah, well, I’m trying to make sure we’re all prepared for what’s coming,” he says and Haymitch knows he means more than just the training regiment he’s got them on. “I don’t know what she wants from me,” Peeta adds in a grumble.

“I think you do. You two smoothed things over pretty well on the Tour.” The boy shoots him a weary look. “Things were peaceful enough here up until the Quell announcement.”

“The Quell changed everything.”

“It did, and she’s still reeling. She’s looking for comfort.”

“Then you do it! If not you, there are plenty of others. She doesn’t need me for that, and soon enough I won’t be around, so she might as well get used to it now.

Haymitch winces at the directness of the statement.

The boy points a finger, “You and I made a deal; we save her. She can’t afford distractions.” He stands poised, waiting for an acknowledgment. The boy accepts his inclined chin as agreement and continues, “Now, I’m going to go make sure she’s keeping pace.”

He watches the boy stalk away. The girl can’t act for shit; if they head to the Quell in this state they’re as good as dead and the rebellion with them. Haymitch curses under his breath. He’s going to need to get involved…

fic author q&a

tagged by @onmytallesttiptoesspinning :)

why do you write fanfic?

my brain is a kinder space to live inside when i write, and fic is the quickest way to get words down on the page these days. also, thinking about the characters is not enough. i need to put them in enclosures and study them. i need to take notes. i need to read those notes obsessively. i need to scatter my toys all over the carpet and invite my friends to admire and compliment them and play.

which of your posted stories do you think of the most even though the story is "finished"?

...........this one. it's definitely this one.

if you could give yourself fic advice from when you first started writing fic, what would that advice be?

stop quoting bible verses. let the characters curse. don't freak out when a b7 shipper shows up in the comments section of your friendship fic, you're not going to get sent to hell for being interpreted as writing gay fanfiction. in fact, give it another ten years and you WILL be writing gay fanfiction. on purpose. with your whole chest. please put the jadzia and worf action figures down and back away slowly, you're just gay for dax, you do not really ship them.

what's your relationship to fic stats?

unfriended, blocked, reported. i have workskins installed so i can only see my total word count. on individual works i can see word count, chapter count, and whether the fic is in a collection or not but that is IT. my life has gotten immeasurably better since i did this

is there a pairing or scenario or friendship that you miss writing? if so, why? if not, why not?

raffi & rios. my god i miss raffi & rios. every day i yearn for the day i can take that box off the highest shelf of the closet and open it back up

what motivates you to write?

brainworms. literally the characters are in my head and i need to get them out. if they stay there too long shit starts getting rancid. i also really enjoy participating in gift exchanges because it gives me a deadline, structure, and a community that is focused on writing rather than a specific fandom. we are all cheering each other on in our various anonymous projects and it's so great!

why do you write for the fandom(s) you write for?

mostly it's because a character or characters have crawled inside my brain. sometimes they're there for a month or a season, other times i come back to them multiple times over a span of many years (star trek is the main example here). since entering the exchange scene i have occasionally picked up one-off fandoms if a pinch hit needed filling or if i needed to make myself matchable in order to participate. i've created some of my favorite fics that way and written far outside my comfort zone. it's great :)

if you're stuck writing a WIP, what do you do?

take a break. take a break take a break take a break. let the story breathe. let myself breathe. come at it from a different angle. read poetry. steal the poem's bones. use them as a scaffold. if all else fails tuck the work into the abandoned folder so i can't see it anymore but do not under any circumstance delete. it's not a failed story. it's just not the right time yet. no work is wasted work. it all breaks down into compost. every tributary feeds a lake.

what do you wish people knew about comments?

whenever i post a fic, there is an absolutely agonizing period of time between posting and first comments when i am very seriously considering deleting my entire internet presence and disappearing into the mountains. this is a me thing. i understand that. i've come up with various coping strategies through the years with mild success, but no matter how much i believe in the work or how much coaching i provide for my brain, there is always that voice in the back of my head that wonders what if it's actually bad. what if it's really really bad. what if they're pointing and laughing and making fun of me. comments shut that voice up. comments provide tangible, outside-of-my-brain proof that the words i wrote made a positive difference in someone else's day, and sometimes they make a difference in ways i never expected. you do not have to tell an author that you like their fics, but when you do, you are never ever bothering them. they're not thinking you're a weirdo or a creep. they're actually probably grinning in relief. they're backing away from the delete button. they're unpacking their suitcase. they're breathing more easily and re-opening the word doc and showing up at the sandbox of creativity to play another day.

maybe there's a question you wish had been on here. what's that question (and answer)? -> what are some fanworks that have inspired you or fed your own creativity?

Candy and Chlorine by scioscribe is so sharp and smart and sexy. 100% biggest inspiration for my jennifer's body fic An Unofficial Anthology of the Online Fandom for the Yellowjackets Tragedy by banerries is so CREATIVE and so FUNNY. it reminds me that at the end of the day fic is supposed to be about play i recommend this barbie/dracula fic to a different friend at least once a month. stunning character study, so unusual, i love love love crack treated seriously a little lower than the angels by mylittleredgirl got me to see the vision of b'elanna/kes for one lovely lovely sitting. i am forever grateful to rarepair writers. they encourage me to think deep, write hard, and trust the process of creativity @stardustcityhag's art is stunning. i am always on some level trying to channel the feeling of it when i'm writing @zannolin's fics consistently feed my desire for delicious-ambiguous-something-amphibious not-shipfic-but-not-not-shipfic. i've written some of my best and most favorite fics after reading their work. their national treasure polycule fic pops into my brain at least once a month. i adore it @73chn1c0l0rr3v3l's smut is some of my favorite smut in the whole world. so sensuous, so vivid, so lush and vivid and aching. i am always at all times meditating on this una/la'an bathhouse thunderstorm fic they wrote me. also, this una/nhan breathplay fic. and this satanic panic fic. and this la'an + insomnia one. i could go on

Ye ole tag game!

Tagged by the incredibly talented (and all around incredible) @fanficfanattic to post the last sentence I wrote!

He’s still propped against Roy’s side; head still firmly planted into the solid place where Roy’s arm meets his chest. If he concentrates, if he squints his tired eyes and holds his gentle breath, he can hear the steady thump-thump of the older man’s heart. 

Posting two sentences because 🤷‍♀️
