The Fire and the Flood

The Alexithenes re-write is finally finished!!! I'm so happy I could do a silly little dance! (Maybe I am doing one, haha!) 🥳🕺🏼

In the year 427 BCE, Alexios allows Socrates to lure him to Athens for the summer. During his stay in the city, his relationship with Demosthenes, not yet a general of Athens, will change significantly… But as the war rages on, will the pressures of the messy world beyond Athens' walls bring the pair together or drive them apart?

Further details under the cut!

I wanted to write some fic this week, but I really didn't mean to begin with rare-pair smutty fluff (fluffy smut?).

*shakes fist at the Alexithenes* why you gotta be like this?

Also, it was super fun to write so such is life :)

[brasideios]

3, 8, & 14 for the writer ask game.

(there are two questions numbered 3 lol so which ever one you want to do, or both if you want).

Thank you my dear! I have two asks with 3 so I can do one answer for each :D

So, 3. One of my fics that I wish more people would read.

After some umming and ahhing, I think I have to pick the Alexios x Demosthenes 'getting together' fic, So it is With Us. It's a light-hearted, humorous, 'what did you do while you were wildly drunk, Alexios?' story. I mean, they are a rare-pair, so I expected low numbers. Still - it's a personal fave.

8. How do I feel about my most popular fic.

Well... that would be Snatched Moments (for those who don't know, that's the Ubba X Eivor fic written in the first flush of my Ubba/Valhalla obsession.) I fairly recently re-read it, and while it's not how I would write it now, I don't hate it.

I notice though that it's always my most purely fanfic works, the stories that come out of me in direct, pretty much unfiltered response to canon, that I'm the least contented with. This story fits into that category. Something about having to bend the story to someone else's boundaries goes against the grain with me - it doesn't make the work bad, just... less mine, I guess.

14. How much do I plan before I write.

Not much really, definitely not as much as internet advice tells me I should 😂. What little I do is generally based around the timeline (historicity has forced this upon me) and I do spend some time thinking about relationships and characters and character arcs - not in any structured way, and I don't really write much down, but it definitely takes up a lot of my downtime between projects.

This what my planning looks like in physical form... you may imagine this is what it looks like inside my head, too. 😆

[brasideios]

Writing ask: 6, 8 & 12 please

Thank you so much for the ask! 🤍

6. What do I think about the AO3 formatting and process of putting a fic up?

It used to drive me crazy, but I am so familiar with it these days, I can hardly imagine it being different. I work in basic html as a matter of course as I'm drafting, so there's a lot less futzing required before posting than there used to be; that helps.

As to putting up a fic - I loathe coming up with titles and summaries, necessary evils though they be. I vacillate between the need to disclose certain elements of the story and not wanting to give the entire story away in advance. I think I suck at it broadly speaking.

8. I answered this one here :)

12. My favourite ship.

Gods, this is a hard question.

I'll procrastinate a moment by saying that broadly speaking, I prefer ships that are complimentary rather than oppositional - opposites attract is harder for me to write (and read) than 'two similar elements make each other better in the face of terrible outside pressure.' I much prefer the idea of people being healthy and supportive of one another than any kind of 'passion,' when that passion takes the form of hurting one another.

Alexios x Brasidas is perhaps my favourite ship at the moment for that reason, though Alexios x Demosthenes will always remain very close to my heart.

[my-soliloquy-chamber]

Well, this story sure seems to be taking a strange turn. Yearning for Multilevel Marketing isn’t something I had on my bingo card for… anything.

😂

I’m kidding! Go read it, it’s great!

Because apparently I can’t concentrate on anything else until this is done 🙈 

My brain: What novel? Am I meant to be writing a novel? I think not!

Chapter 3 of An Athenian Summer is up.

Herodietas (Herodianos x Thaletas)

I wrote this rarepair in Rising to the Surface, a crossover piece with my Fire and the Flood series (Alexios x Demosthenes), both on AO3.

[my-soliloquy-chamber]

🤨 I’m having a strange urge to write an Alexios x Demosthenes fic. Wonder where that came from? 🤔

[my-soliloquy-chamber]

Writing Demosthenes x Alexios is going well... maybe surprisingly? I think I’m about halfway through.
