this blog is now my own personal writing journal sorry
found out via the last few wip wmondays that a good way to hold myself accountable and just, like, keep track of my writing progress is to shove it into the void of tumblr and hope for the best. so, now that the arranged marriage au is done and handed off to my beta, here are snippets of the next few fics up in the queue for me to work on: (as usual, read at your own risk)
1. undead jack/witch nico — this is one of two spooky-themed fics i’m hoping to get out before halloween this year. i workshopped this idea a couple of times and after a couple :/ misses on my part, my beta helped me come up with this. it’s a little more serious than my writing style has been lately, but it’s still fun.
Somehow, waking up to an unfamiliar naked body in his bed isn’t the concern for Nico, nor is it that they have the prettiest face Nico’s ever seen.
No, the concern is that the body has no heartbeat, yet is somehow very much alive and very much looks about to suck Nico’s dick.

2. demon trevor/college student jamie — the second one of my spooky fics for this season and this one is pure shenanigans and chaos, as any fic featuring these two should be.
So here’s the thing: Jamie doesn’t mean to summon a demon. He was really just trying to pass OChem, and now he’s suddenly soulbonded to the most annoying floppy-haired, bright-eyed demon he’s ever seen.
Well, not that he’s seen many demons, but his point still stands.

3. matthew/leon in the starbright universe — two people left comments on the quinn/thatcher asking about the little tease of the matty/leon i put in there and, consequently, made me think about them a little too hard. i don’t have anything written out that’s not in bullet points so no excerpt for this one yet :/

4. jonas/nico/jack — there is now never a time when i’m not thinking about them. i just think they’re so neat. here’s a little bit of what i have but i don’t wanna say too much.
Once the door closes, Jack turns to face Jonas, his arms crossed over his chest, defensive. “So...?”
“So,” Jonas echoes, “Do you want to talk about why you ran out the other day?”
“I mean…” Jack shifts on his feet, looking to the side. He looks uncomfortable. Nervous, even. “Not really.”
“Too bad. Talk to me.”
Jack kind of looks like he wants to stomp his feet. Jonas tries really hard not to find it as adorable as he does.

5. jack/nico time loop au — this one’s been on the brain for a hot second. it’s taken a while because i’m trying out something new with my style and i keep being unhappy with it, so we’ll see how it goes from here. might need another overhaul.
Nico swings by the box after Jack’s been shoved in, shaking his head as he hands Jack his gloves, stick, and bucket.
“Stop being reckless,” he says. He leans a little closer. “You never know when the loop’s going to end, Jack.”
“I’m fine, cap,” Jack replies, grinning. There’s certainly blood in his mouth, staining his smile. He should probably take stock of his teeth. Something uncontainably feral sinks its claws into his chest. “Go score for me, cap.”
Nico shakes his head again and skates away. To his credit, though, Nico does score while Jack looks on from the penalty box, whooping and proud.

6. quinn/brock/elias racing au — a second installment into the racing au that i started with the jack/nico take the wheel fic i posted because apparently i have many thoughts and feelings on quinn hughes that simply have no other outlet. anyway this has been so much fun worldbuilding-wise and there’s definitely another fic ft last year’s umich boys that i’m incredibly stoked to get a start on for this universe as well.
“I don’t trust you,” Brock says, point blank.
Quinn pales. “What?”
“No, as in—” Brock gestures vaguely, searching for his next words. “I don’t know you enough to trust you yet. That’s why I’m still doubting your calls, and the hesitation time is killing me. Anyone can see that.”
And he’s right. Those precious fractions of a second that Brock waits to punch it before a jump, before sliding into a different lane, wastes grinding on the edge of the track—they all add up. Quinn glances over at Elias, who’s just standing at the edge of the garage, hip cocked against the wall and arms crossed, just watching. His expression is unreadable.
Quinn looks back to Brock, nervous. “Okay? I’m— I’m sorry?”
Brock sighs. “We gotta fix this. Come on.” He tosses his helmet onto one of the workbenches and walks out, swinging his keys around his finger.
“Wait, what?” Quinn’s lost, looking between Brock and Elias, whose lips have curled up into the barest hint of a smile.
“Let’s go, Huggy Bear,” Brock calls over his shoulder.

in conclusion — this is very different from the fic-preview-update-thing i posted last time because what my brain decides it wants to work on is completely unpredictable and i’m simply subject to its whims. also i keep coming up with new ideas, so that’s been screwing with the order rather substantially. anyway, if you made it to here, i’m impressed. thank you. the semester’s picking up rather substantially so i’m white-knuckling it through midterms over these next couple weeks, then i’ll hopefully have a little more time to write again. but we’ll see.
hope you all have a wonderful day :)
