~"I heard the kiddo collapsed today, is he alright? Can I go see him?" (for Flynn! say it's a continuation/offshoot of that one Flynn young!Kari post I love sm)

((You mean one of the few good tcol posts on my other blog?? Yessssssss---))

Soil blackened hands stop their ministrations and Flynn's left ear twitches at the other's words---his right is pointed towards the house, pointed towards the kiddo, pointed towards his sick kiddo---until, eventually, Flynn rises from the kneeling position he'd been in, his hands automatically wiping themselves off on his equally dirty coveralls.

"Aye, that he did. Passed out faster than I could blink. Looked like he was having a dizzy spell and then th' next second I was haulin' him inside like a freshly cut veglamb." Flynn pauses; both ears now cocked backwards in a clear sign of aggression as his explanation quickly turns into an outright vent. "The dizzy spells, the faintin', the damned nosebleeds? He could hear the stars---Can you hear the stars? Is it loud? Does it hurt?---despite it not even bein' night out! Explain that ta me!" And tell me what we're going to do when it all inevitably gets worse. Eventually Flynn's posture softens---he forces it to, if only a little---and when the immortal resumes speaking his tone of voice is notably more amicable. This too, is forced.

"....He's sleeping right now, ishul? I'm not about to let him out of my sight so just.....LET HIM REST FOR NOW." The sight of the half-blood gingerly touching his temple as Flynn headed the short distance outside in order to quickly finish tending to the crops was unmistakable and it meant only one thing: It meant that the REAL TROUBLE HADN'T EVEN STARTED YET. Flynn was, in all seriousness, no more than a few paces away from the door to the house and even that felt like too far. ".....I'm WATCHIN' OUT FOR HIM JUST LIKE ALWAYS. You an' Bo can come back in the mornin'. Early as you want." Maybe he'll be back to normal by then. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

1.How many fics do you have on AO3?

78.

2. What's your total word count on AO3?

934,933. Wow, maybe I can break a million this year....

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just HANNIBAL right now (and for like the last seven years or so). Been vaguely thinking about picking up a second but nothing has caught my interest strongly enough.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Attachment - 7,592

The Fisherman and the Beast from the Sea - 4,565

Sashimi - 2,807

Hungry Ghost - 1,585

Identically Different - 1,382 <- This is my best series and yall should give it a shot <3

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to, and I enjoy doing so, but sometimes the brainworms win and I don't get stuff done even when I really want to.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Breathless

I don't love this story, but "Hannibal is effectively braindead after the fall, but Will keeps caring for the body and feels that Hannibal is there with him, up until the body dies and Will turns himself in because there isn't any point anymore" probably counts as the most angsty? If you are in the market for a "Hannibal receives a brain injury and he, along with everyone else around him, has to cope with that" story Tina's For Remembrance (Holes in the Floor of the Mind) is a much better pick. And as I continue to think about it, Means of Influence has a pretty angsty ending.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my stories have slightly bittersweet but still mostly happy endings. Part of the thing about that is I think it's really hard to envision a situation where Will is like 100% Happy Happy, his own mind hates him too much and every little scrap of happiness needs to be fought for and then vigilantly guarded. But I put both him and Hannibal through so much that I always want them to be as close to content as they each can be.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have gotten two flavors of Fic Hate. 1.) People calling the five year old kid OC in ATTACHMENT slurs like "r*tard" and saying "he belongs in jail" and etc.

Every time Hannibal or Will fuck someone who isn't each other at least one person decides to Yell At Me.

I think I've gotten the old "you didn't tag for bottom Hannibal!!" nonsense once or twice too, but who hasn't?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

A little. I actually started Hannishark bc I was really intimidated by sex scenes and wanted to see if I could pull off a short monsterfucker story. I feel like I've gotten better at writing these but am generally more comfortable leaving them sparce on anatomical details and big on feelings/conversations.

10. Do you write crossovers? If so, what's the craziest one?

I've got a WRONG TURN crossover series that I'm very proud of here: Bear Mountain Road AU. You don't need to have seen any of the movies to read it, or anything, the movies' premise of "a clan of inbred mountain cannibals waylays travelers" is really just an excuse to put Hannibal (and Will and D, as child members of the cannibal family) In Situations. If I counts as a cross over, I've got a universe swap between the novels and NBC HANNIBAL here: Shiloh

I also have a vague idea for a SAW / HANNIBAL crossover but I've been sitting on that for so long, who knows if it'll ever happen?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not so far as I know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, several times.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yep, a couple of times.

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

Hannigram and Reba/D (guys we need a fuckin ship name).

15. What are your writing strengths?

Character, emotions, dialogue.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sex scenes, pacing.

17. Thoughts writing dialogue in another language?

Fine by me, tho I only think I've done it one or twice.

18. First fandom you wrote for?

FARSCAPE.

19. Favorite fic you've written?

Identically Different AU !!!! This it the best thing I've ever written and probably the best thing I will ever write.
