02. what's your total ao3 word count? 210,850

06. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably Boy With a Broken Soul (Heart With a Gaping Hole), my fae!gon x abby fic. Cause it got dark. I've been trying to figure out how to redo the ending because I really do love that fic. I'll eventually crosspost it to Tumblr.

16. what are your writing strengths? Man, fuck if I know. I think I'm really good at callbacks/sowing the seeds for payoff, and plot. And also treating Helaena Targaryen like a real person lmao

17. what are your writing weaknesses? getting in over my head. Smut.

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language? I use High Valyrian pretty regularly as well as irish gaelic!

19. first fandom you wrote in? Star Wars!

20. favorite fic you've written? It might be cheating to say Maiden but it's Maiden. Because this is the culmination of a lifetime of working on fic and trying to make it work, a lifetime of working on my craft and practicing storytelling and it's the longest fic I've ever written and I'm so happy with where it's going. I hope you join me on the journey, I'd love to have you!

no pressure tags: @theladyelizabeth, @kingsmakers, @mihrsuri, @deathbecomesnerds, @queen--kenobi and anyone else who would like to!

No one asked, but character bingo for Dulce (Pink), Calliphon (Blue), and YuanShu (Red)

Dulce doesn't have mommy or daddy issues by virtue of them being dead (to be fair, Calliphon and YuanShu's parents are also dead).

Calliphon is the character I have made ever

I'd do one for the twins but I haven't drawn them, which means I haven't really assigned them a colour, which is unfortunate because Cayden is probably the (second) most unhinged and I would die for both of them

[heyits-asher]

The storm had displaced him, and his phone slid to the sewers or any drainage system or it very well might be down in the ocean if the water managed to get it there. "I made it alright. Thankfully. My place is… it needs work. My best friend is letting me crash on his couch, which is really cool because his roommate is really nice too." Asher will be forever grateful for Uly and Dulce sharing their space. It also means he has been on his best behavior to keep any trouble away from Uly considering his record…

"Of course you can be my plus one. You think I'd give you up? No no, Gilly. Uhm, I'll always have you, even if you move somewhere else and I don't see you for two more years." Even if what they had might be something left back in Arizona, he will always harbor that same fondness. There is room in his heart for her to stay. Even if the last day comes and goes, Gillian's made a home there. Those words die in his throat, partly out of guilt for the other person who shares space there, but mostly because it's pointless information he doesn't need to share with her. Maybe then, the day he said goodbye, before her burner ran out of minutes or his cell phone plan failed because they couldn't pay the bill, but not now.

"Oh, yeah! Those - look." Ash displays his own, the little suns to go with hers filled in, on his matching finger. He takes her wrist with the opposite hand to line them up side by side and inspect them. "They both held up pretty well. See, mines blurred a little from typical wear." As such is the risk with finger tattoos; but for a stick-and-poke they look good all this time later. He's satisfied then with this constant reminder they both have of each other. He'd be lying if he said he never looked at it many times between then and now.

Ash moves from holding her wrist to grabbing her hand, even lacing their fingers. The same teasing way she used to always take his cigarettes and puff it back out in his face just makes it easy for him to laugh at the nostalgia. Everything all at once, he swears he can't be happier than this moment.

"Right then. So, the beach is my favorite place. Except for when it's crowded on the weekends, but I've been trying to learn to surf." Ash leads her down the boardwalk in the direction of the path that climbs over the dunes and to the main part of the beach. "It's not going well, so I've stuck with, uh… oh, skim boarding. I went to do that recently, but this lady, really nice- her name is Amaya - she talked me out of it. After the storm and all, risk of broken glass and pieces of things and stuff…"

Gilly wrinkled her nose a bit, nodding, "Trust me, I know. The storm sucked. I was one of those dumbasses that didn't think to stay home and I ended up holed up in the library in town. Don't think I've been that annoyed or that hungry in ages." she shook her head at the memory. "Hope you were okay though?" Thinking about the fact that he'd been here during that...that he maybe could've been hurt....

"Well, I call dibs on being your plus one to the next party you may or may not be invited to." Wouldn't be the first time they crashed a gathering- just more memories flooding through her brain that made her grin. "And as for friends, well...how about an old one? If you'll still have me?" Gillian's expression softened as she said it, looking up at him with a warmer smile now. Two years ago she felt like she knew everything about Asher. He'd been her best friend and her confidant...and the one whose bed she was in more often than her own. And while two years was a long time to be apart, surely they'd be able to manage to catch up. Right?

Asher saying he thought about her after she'd left just solidified her wanting to reconnect, wanting to get to know him again. Especially when he said she'd left her mark. "You did too. Quite literally after all." her grin was bright again as she held her hand up to him, showing the shitty little stick-poke tattoo he'd done to her one drunken night on her finger- a forever reminder they both had of one another. A permanent mark.

As they pulled apart and he took a drag before offering it, Gillian easily took it, barely having nodded before she took a long drag from it. "I have all the time in the world for you, Ashy." She replied, teasingly blowing smoke in his face like she always used to do. "Lead the way?"
