Short Smutty Fics Masterlist
Beg (ao3) - FayeHunter michael/luke E, 3k

Eager to Please (ao3) - howtotrainyourpup ot4, luke/ashton E, 5k
Summary: Ashton is Luke’s baby. His cupcake, his little lion. There is nothing in the world that Luke wouldn’t do for Ashton, he prided himself on being the best Daddy he could be when he was needed, and the best boyfriend he could be the rest of the time. Their relationship, while unconventional, is happy and safe and full of trust both spoken and unspoken. Calum and Michael understand, they’ve made a safe zone for the boys that could never be recreated and is worth more than gold.

Heart Attack (ao3) - no_clue_who luke/ashton M, 2k
Summary: Luke was a mess. He was a mess who was trying to do something nice for Ashton. Ashton had been planning incredible dates since they had started dating, taking him out and making him feel so loved and he wanted to do the same.
So that's why he impulsively bought the corset and lace shirt a week ago. And the matching lingerie. And the stockings.
Ok so maybe he went a bit overboard with the outfit, but he wants to look good for Ashton.
or how to seduce your boyfriend
How did we end up here (ao3) - BrokenTailLights luke/ashton E, 4k

lay your hands on me (ao3) - cliffakitten luke/ashton E, 3k
Summary: Luke always liked them because they made him feel pretty, like he had always wanted to be but now he feels something else. Something he never thought he would ever get to feel until right now, right now when Ashton snaps the elastic of the panties against his skin. Luke feels slutty.
And he loves it.

Rollercoaster Ride (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance ot4 E, 3k
Summary: Michael came up with the craziest idea to end their tour; an idea, which he knew Luke would love. Calum had already agreed but there was one problem, Ashton was still reluctant. All he had to do was to convince the stubborn drummer, something he knew he would manage to do easily, and they would end up having the greatest end-of-tour party.
sucker for the way that you move, babe (ao3) - merlypops luke/ashton E, 2k

We Couldn't Freeze This Moment (ao3) - antisocialhood luke/ashton N/R, 3k

Note
One of the things that’s great about Mashton is that even though they probably had to put more work into a friendship (note: I still think they clicked pretty damn quickly, but Cashton and Lashton were almost immediate so Mashton took a bit longer), they’re still really close. Maybe they would’ve have been friends without the band, but I don’t think it’s possible to separate them now
I am feeling the need to say that when I say that I think mashton had to put more work into the friendship and that I don't think that necessarily they would still be friends without the band, is not because I think they would absolutely hate each other if they weren't in the band but because when compared to cashton or lashton, that gives off some sort of "I loved you before I met you" dramatic energy (specifically when compared to cashton and the way it highkey looks like they took one look at each other and were childhood friends, I've known you my whole life, no acclimation period), mashton gives of "I had to get to know you to love you" and that does lead to a different dynamic. But there's nothing wrong with making the choice to love someone. And the 4 of them have been through a lot, I don't think you can separate any of them now. I think even without the band all 6 of the pairings would get along fine, but like, malum or cashton, you look at them and you know they would be best friends no matter what they did, but mashton is kinda up in the air if they would find the middle ground they worked for with the band, without the band. And it is a nice thought, yk? Like, "we're here not because something aligned and led me to you but because we made the choice to be here". Fated soulmates are fun and all but I'm a sucker for someone making the choice to get this close, to stay.

Tumblr media
Part 3:
Ashton's POV:
       After leaving the hospital I immediately went to our house. Unfortunately, I discovered the vomit at the base of the stairs, along with the blood on the landing. I rolled my eyes and cleaned both spots before heading to our bar, needing some good ol' liquid courage.
        I mixed up a beautiful cocktail of Scotch and Brandy. "Just one shot is all I need. Then Michael will know everything..." I said to the empty room before tossing back to mixture, burning as it slid down my esophagus and greatly warming my body. I took out my phone and turned it in my hand, contemplating the idea of telling him. One wrong thing said, one wrong thing done, it's over, my life ends there.
        Before I gave myself the chance to back out, I pulled up his contact and pressed call. It rang twice before I heard him answer.
____________________________________
A- Ashton, M- Michael
M- "One sec, Ash." He whispered as he walked out of Luke's room. "What's up?"
A- "I need you to come back to the hou-" I heard the front door open and froze in place. "On second thought, meet you at Joe's house."
M- "Ash, I'm visiting Luke right now. I made a promise to him that I would be here when he woke. I can't leave now."
A- "I don't give a shit about some promise Michael. Get your ass over there... I told you I'd tell you when I was ready to talk and I'm ready now. I'm not taking no for answer. I'll meet you there, bye!" I hung up the phone instantly regretting what I had just done.
____________________________________
Michael's POV:
       I could not believe Ashton just, flat out demanded me to meet up with him, even after I told him I was committed to a promise. 'Ya, you will get what you want Ash, but it won't be how you like it.' I thought as I rapidly grabbed my jacket and left the hospital.
Luke's POV:
       I opened my eyes, almost immediately rolling to the side of the bed and projectile vomiting onto the polished floor. 'Fucking concussion!' I thought as I grabbed my pulsating head. "Michael, can you help me please..." I waited for a response, but was met with silence. "Michael?" I turned my head a bit and saw that I was, once again alone in the room. "Ehhh..." I whined and spit the residual bile from my mouth and begrudgingly wiped my lips against my wrist. I had to temporarily shove my anger from being left alone aside. I pushed the call button on my bed and a few seconds later, both my nurse and doctor came in.
       "What can we do for you Mr. Hemmings?" My doctor asked.
       "I um-" I started, my voice muffled by my forearm. "I got sick on the floor. I'm sorry." I felt my face heat up as I pointed in the general direction of the puddle.
       "Its fine, it happens. We will have someone to come clean it. I was just discussing with your nurse about taking you to get that ankle of yours checked out. You think you can handle a small ride over to the physical therapy room? I just need to have you do a bit of walking for me, but with you having a concussion I don't want to risk you falling, especially on the hard floor."
       "As long as I have a barf bag on me... I should be fine. I still feel kind of pukey." The doctor chuckled lightly at my terminology.
       "Of course, Mr. Hemmings." He said.
       "Please, call me Luke." I corrected and he obliged. My doctor left the room for a second and came back with a wheelchair.
       "You know, if you are still feeling embaressed or awkward about getting sick on the floor, I have a funny story to tell you..." He told me as I got in the chair. He handed me the bag.
       "Oh really? What is it?" I asked as my interest peaked some. He stared pushing me to the elevators as we talked.
       "Well you see, my first day on the job here, I had to watch several videos of surgeries, child birth, and of course, what do when certain cases came in. Afterwards, I was told to go around and watch a few doctors to get a feel on what they do. I evidently ended up getting a bit of a sour tummy after watching those videos, but I complied. I couldn't say no to the people who were paying me could I?"
       "No, definitely wouldn't have been wise. Bye, bye job." My hand cutting through the air in a wave as I spoke.
       "Ya probably." He laughed. We pulled into the elevator and he pushed the button. The doors closed and the elevator began it's decent, making my stomach swirl. I opened the bag and waiting to see if my stomach would calm itself or if I would loose it. "Ya, sorry about that bud. You ok?" I shrugged, dreading the sudden jolt, I knew would come. I raised the bag to my mouth, knowing my stomach couldn't handle being jostled again. No sooner had I done that, the elevator jurked to a stop, sending my stomach rushing up my throat and into the bag. "So sorry Luke. Here, let me get you off the elevator and we will let your stomach rest." He explained as I wretch and gagged over the, half full bag.
      After a couple minutes, the dry heaving and gagging finally ceased. The doctor handed me some tissues he had in his pocket and took the bag from me and held it out for me to put the tissue into it. "T-Thanks." I wiped my mouth with the tissue and threw it away. "Sorry y-you had to see t-that. So what were you saying, before my stomach, so rudely, interrupted."
       "No need to apologize for being sick in front of me Luke. It is a part of my job, you know." He reminded me as he walked over to a bin and threw away the bag.
       "You happen to have any more of those on you?" I asked.
       "You still feeling 'pukey'?" He asked, stealing the word I used earlier. I would have laughed, if only I felt better.
       "Not at the moment, but I'm still nauseous as fuck..." He pulled one out of his, seeming bottomless pocket.
       "Ya, that's a concussion for you." He said, handing me the new bag.
        "Jeez, you a magician or something? I swear it's like you will pull a rabbit from that pocket of yours. Should I expect that?" He busted out laughing at my statement.
       "Wow, you'd be surprised at how much this coat can hold. You never know what I'd pull out from here next. I honestly just like to be prepared." I nodded.
       "Ha. Ok I'm ready to move again. You want to finish your story? It was getting my mind off of some things." I looked up at him to see him nod as he started pushing me towards the therapy room.
        "Well, let's just say my first day on job could have gone much better. Like I said my stomach started to hurt after watching those videos. They were graphic, really graphic. As I watch over these doctors shoulders I felt sicker and sicker. By the time my 'shift' was over, my stomach felt worse for wear. My supervisor decided to talk to me about how I did throughout the day-" my eyes grew wide, suddenly realizing where he was going with this.
       "You didn't..." I forced myself to turn slightly in the chair to look at him.
        "I did. I puked all down her front, and the floor... So when I tell you not to worry about getting sick on the floor, at least you know I can empathize with you." He said with a faint nod. "And at least you didn't vomit all over your boss... Alright we are here." He pushed me in toward the center of the room, where it was padded. "So all I need you to is stand for now. I'm going to put the wheelchair over there." I nodded and started to get up off the chair.
       "Ehhhhh.... Mmmmn, ah ow." Even moving my ankle hurt. I was terrified of walking on it, especially after falling downstairs because of it. As soon as I stood up and put pressure on it, I was on my knees in a fit of tears.
        "Luke! Whoa, hey, what happened?" My doctor rushed back over to me and wrapped an arm around me, to both, keep me stable and comfort me.
      "I-I-I c-can't put-t any pre-presure on my ankle... It h-hurts so fucking much!" I let out a shrill cry as my ankle seared with the worst pain imaginable.
      "I'm going to need to look at your ankle. I'm sorry this is going to hurt. I'm going to have to move it around to get a proper diagnosis." I nodded and bit down on my arm. I knew it was dumb to do, but I didn't know what else to do. I just wanted this pain to stop. He began by lifting my leg and looking at the back of my ankle.
       "Red and inflamed, hmmmm." He then rolled my foot around, causing me to partially fail at muffling a scream. After torturing me for a good few minutes, he finally put my leg down. "Ok Luke the worst is over. Im going to need you to tell me what type of pain this is."
       "I feel like a mussle is being ripped on half... Fuck, that hurt so much." I explained, letting a manly tear fall.
       "Well I'm afraid that might be exactly what's happening." I looked at the doctor bug eyed. I had not been expecting that.
       "What do we do for that?" I asked just wanting this to be over.
       "Well, first I need to get give you and ultrasound on it. Unfortunately, if this is the case, the only thing we can do at this point is surgery. After surgery, you will have a cast for a given number of weeks and you will have to use crutches." I sighed. I'm not currently trusting the rest of the band to help me at this point, not like they would anyways. 'Management is going to be so pissed...' I mentally signed.
       He helped me back into the wheelchair and back to the room, thankfully with no more incidents. He brought the ultrasound machine into my room. "Well, it looks like I was right, only it isn't ripping, it's already torn. Hence the reason you can't walk without excutiating pain. Well actually, let me rephrase that. That's why you can't walk at all." He looked at me. "I'll get you taken care of. I'll talk to a surgeon now and see about getting you in as quickly as possible, so you can get back to work sooner. And the good thing is, your head seems to be ok now. You will be feeling a bit sick for a few days, but that should ease up. The surgery is outpatient so you can go home afterwards." He said smiling and I internally groaned. I had no idea how I was getting home. The last thing I wanted to do was call any of the lads, with how they've been acting.
Calum's POV:
       To say I was confused, would have been an understatement. Just two minutes after I walked back into the house Ashton bolted out the door. I was happy upon seeing he had cleaned up the soiled floor though. I decided to go up to my room, vaguely wishing I didn't have to climb the stairs, my brain replaying the scene from earliers events. I just want to talk to my mom and cry. I miss my family so much. For the past several weeks I've been trying to hide the endless sadness and hurt, staying an ocean away from my family has caused. Tonights events have me so shaken and the guilt is eating me away.
Michael's POV:
       I arrived at Joe's house, where the latest party was being held, and saw Ashton standing on the grass. I stomped over to him. "What the he'll is your problem Ashton?" He put his hands up and took a defensive stance.
       "Please, let me explain before you yell at me or try to throw a punch." He begged.
      "Fine, but I am this close to doing both." Holding a pinched sign up. (AN: I hope that made sense. I felt like it didn't. Sorry XD)
      He began to get antsy and started to shake in anticipation. "Michael, I-I" He took a very shakey breath. "I like you! I have for several years... I might honestly even go so far as to say, I love you. I am sorry for acting like an ass-hat earlier, but it was from nerves. Michael, please don't hate me... I don't think I could live with myself if you do. I love you so much..." He crashed to his knees, clutching his shoulders and rocked back and forth. I was brought aback by what he had said. I was expecting him to say he was wanting to quit the band or something, the last thing I was expecting was a confession from my best friend.
       "You couldn't have at least picked a better time for this?" I chuckled, the anger I felt, slowly dissipating. He looked up at me with a tear stained face.
       "What...? You're not mad at me? You're not going to bite my head off? You don't hate me?" He pounded me with questions. I took his hand and got him onto his feet.
       "Oh I'm pissed as hell, but no, I wont kill you, nor do I hate you. I'm going to need some time to clear up my head. Well, while we are here, would you like to party?" He smiled and wiped away his tears and nodded. I brought him into a hug. We quickly went into the house and partied up until they cleared the house.

I'm feeling some type of way about how none of these are pre-2018... like an oof type of way. they can't have never hugged before that, did they just like. never do it in front of people???? did they use to hug so rarely that it never got caught on camera?? i don't even know what my thoughts about it are but i'm very 🙂🙂 -taylor
I think i said 2018. i meant 2016, but now that i think about it we only got the msg one in 2016 and then that was it. now it seems they hug left and right and aaaaa okay bye
@squishmichael hi hello why are you coming to me with mashton emo thoughts i didn't ask for this (though maybe i did by bringing back that post oops anyways ily <3)
i'm feeling some kind of way about this too because where are the pre-2016 mashton hugs?? the 2016-2018 mashton hugs?? they had to have hugged y'know. and i'm just thinking about how many hug footage there is of, say, malum hugging since the start and yeah, i know you can't compare the familiarity between malum and mashton but there are plenty of cake and muke hugs and touches over the years too! but this is ashton and we know ashton isn't (wasn't?) very touchy and cuddly. we still got touches, like mashton holding hands, the "it's brotherly" thing, michael nuzzling against ashton's neck which interestingly enough were all started by michael as opposed to their hugs which are initiated by ashton. and like many people have said this is probably a way for ashton to control the hug, when it starts and when it ends, how long it lasts for.... and that makes me think (and cry) about how all these hugs have happened because ashton wanted them.
the 5sos show hug is a perfect painful example. he waits patiently for malum to have their hug, waits for michael to be free to open his arms wide so michael and him can hug. he wanted his hug and he got it. and it's such??? a soft hug???? the way he leans his head on michael's shoulder and whispers something to him. the way michael keeps their feet a little apart so he doesn't step on ashton's foot??? okay. 🥺
there's not much to be said about the complete mess bts video because we don't get to see a lot of what happens before or after it but it's important because this is touchy ashton, this is 5sos5 ash and he's in his loving touchy era. he might have hugged all the boys here, he cradled calum against him while working on their scenes... just. Touchy.
and then the side hug from the dublin show that's not even a hug but deserved to be on that post because well. because it's my post and i said so fjskdjs all i can say about it is that they're both sweaty, they're both gross but that doesn't stop them. michael is stepping on ashton's foot but that doesn't matter, neither of them pulls back, they're happy! they're back! they're proud and excited to be sharing this with each other again! i cry
sigh i'm pretty sure i had a point and i lost it in this sea of mashton feelings fjskdjs but the bottom line is. we hadn't gotten a mashton hug since 2018 and now we got three in the span of four months??? probably will be getting more as tour continues??? and those are just the ones that we see because i wholeheartedly believe that ashton is hugging his friends behind the scenes too. this is a man who has grown comfortable with hugging and touching and now he can't stop. and i, for one, love that for him!!!! (and for us!)

hazel !! hi !! may I ask u for your favourite mashton moments 👀
yeah for sure!!! it did get long though so it's under a read more
My absolute favorite mashton moment will always be the "me and my opposite end of the battery" instagram post.
Tumblr media
ashtonirwin: Me and my opposite end of the battery in some city, somewhere on planet earth, trying to get our music heard. @michaelclifford
This makes me feel like I'm losing my mind.  The phrase “me and my opposite end of the battery” has been etched into my mind forever and fundamentally shaped my understanding of their relationship (and also made their relationship my favorite of the boys’). I've touched a little on my thoughts on that phrase here but basically, they are opposites but they are the same and they power the band and they need each other to do so. Ashton did me irreparable damage when he decided to describe their relationship with that particular phrase.
2. This interview, specifically timestamp 0:29 (tumblr is being mean and isn't letting me embed the videos but follow the link, it's the big talk interview)
it’s about the way! that michael feeds ashton an answer! and ashton goes along with it with absolutely no thinking! just repeats it because if michael said it then it must be a good answer! even though two seconds later he actually processes it and thinks it sucks!!!! but it’s about the trust that ashton has in him!
also the entire interview is so happy and giggly. i think we only get one serious answer out of them and it’s to the very first question. That day was an absolute great day for mashton people because we got two silly interviews of just them!!!!
3. "We didn't need to" at timestamp 23:51 of the 2011 podcast
what gets me the most was michael’s tone of voice when he said it. he wasn’t flippant, he didn’t brush off ashton’s “but you didn’t really know me very well,” he didn’t turn it into a joke even though he very easily could have. instead, we got the softest “we didn’t need to” i’ve ever heard in my life. there was so much earnestness in his voice! so much sincerity. in that moment, he needed ashton to understand that inviting ashton into the band was never something for them to second-guess. they didn’t need to know everything about ashton right off the bat, because they fit. they fit in some intrinsic way that can’t be formed after playing 20 questions, in some way that just is or isn’t, and with them it is.
not to be overly dramatic, but it’s like some part of michael recognized a kindred spirit in ashton, even if he couldn’t explain why yet. this band meshes so well together. they had an automatic chemistry. they knew right away that ashton would fit, and they knew that they weren’t going to second-guess that. and michael needed ashton to know that in 2021 when they recorded that podcast. he needed ashton to know that from the moment he showed up to that first practice, he’s been part of this band, even though they didn’t officially ask him until december 3.
those are my top 3 moments by far, usually in that order but sometimes not, and here are some of my other favorite moments in no particular order!
-Michael's first message to Ashton asking him to play for the band, which was revealed in the 2011 podcast episode
Tumblr media
it's the "i know you're a sick drummer" and the fact that this is the beginning!!!! of everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also Michael is the one who knew the drum parts so i would love to hear more about him teaching Ashton, an actual drummer, the parts before their gig.
also, in general i loved the mashton content in the podcasts because you could clearly say the ways in which they're a driving force in the band based on how much they talked, the things they talked about, and how they talked about the band's journey
-this video beginning at timestamp 1:45
Ashton’s being so lovely and sincere about their bond and then you have Michael “No Personal Space” Clifford with the little “we can stand this close to each other without it being awkward” and then he Leans His Head On Ashton’s Shoulder And The Little Smile!!!!! I think it’s a great moment showcasing how close and comfortable they are from an early time
-Michael teaching Ashton how to play guitar onstage (this video starting at 0:40)
-the "glorious post MSG hug"
Tumblr media
michaelclifford: a glorious post MSG hug. 😍 @ashtonirwin
(look at the joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the unfiltered joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-The Zach Sang interview where Ashton said he does his best writing with Michael when Michael doesn’t like his idea and Ashton has to fight for him to like it at timestamp 12:36 (always pushing each other to be better, those two <3)
-The instagram video where Ashton massages Michael's shoulder while hugging him
Tumblr media
-the Dragon Ball Z moment where they’re both nerds and Michael is so delighted by Ashton timestamp 1:19
-“Is this us again?” (They wrote together so much for the first album and I’d love to see more of that)(also Ashton grabs his hand, not just high fives him :) )
-The fact that Michael was so supportive of Ashton's candle company (with the smiley face and hearts!) and that they tested them on the road together!!!
Tumblr media
There are obviously A Lot more instances I could put here, and if you ask me on a different day I might, but here are some of my favorite mashton moments right at this exact second!

work i’m most proud of and why: i'm proud of almost all of the work i put out this year, and there are a couple ones that immediately spring to mind, but i'm going to really come out of left field here and say Being Hannah Abbott! "but megs," you might say, "why on earth would you pick the only fic that has zero kudos? it's definitely not your best written work of the year." to which i say, true! however, i have been trying to get this fic right since 10th grade! i'm now a senior in college! "but megs it's significantly less than 1k how did it take you that long" listen! listen. sometimes. you have to wait until you're good enough to finish a fic. this has more than 5 docs of different drafts saved to my laptop. also you're forgetting the fact that i'm insane
work i’m least proud of and why: okay listen. i know it's my most kudos'd work. i know that. however i am not happy with burnt eggs and broken promises. bella left me a lovely long comment on it recently that made me rethink my feelings towards it but i still think it isn't as good as it could have been so sorry folks
share or describe a favorite review you’ve received: i love it when people tell me i made them cry it's my favorite thing in the whole world best compliment to receive imo
a time when writing was really, really hard: you're assuming i remember what i was experiencing earlier in 2022 which is where you've made your mistake slkdjflskdjf ummmm i remember have a really hard time this fall semester, especially in september/october, i just couldn't get any motivation whatsoever (which tends to be my biggest problem tbh)
a scene or character you wrote who surprised you: goood question,,, you know, i really wasn't expecting to ever write a mcu au and yet pining is a strange sort of mcu au. i originally was going to write it so one half of the pairing got lost at sea and their bf was waiting on shore not sure if they were dead or alive, but the characters did not want to be like that at all which is how i ended up with poor post-snap calum (who may be getting a happy sequel someday shhh)
a favorite excerpt of your writing: i love the transformation scene in fear the fever. i just love writing body horror for some reason and i've always had strong opinions about what i think vampires & their transformations are like physically and it was a blast to get to explore that in this fic :))
how did you grow as a writer this year? i think a lot of my growth happens slowly over time and therefore is hard to pinpoint, but i took a creative writing class in the spring on opening a novel and that helped me rethink the way i start fics now. also i learned to think more about what i want out of my fic! thinking about why i write and why i post fic really helped me realize what fic writing advice to take and what to ignore (if you're like me and the goal of a fic is to write the concept the best you can, than posts talking about how it's okay to post random, unedited snippets are not actually helpful and can actually be counter-intuitive)
how do you hope to grow next year? i really want to write more often and be more disciplined about writing. as always i want to learn how to be better in the craft aspect in general (which is a goal i expect to always have, since i'll never be perfect at it) and i'd also like to be better with subtext & symbolism & ~themes~ bc i always forget to those last two and my subtext is, in my opinion, rather lacking at the moment
who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)? bella is the best live-in cheerleader/rubber duck a writer could ask for, and i would be royally screwed without her 💙 hazel is always an incredible virtual cheerleader/ideas bouncer and i am dearly in her debt, and meghna is wonderful for fueling my wacky ideas-mobile; i am incredibly lucky that they're just a discord dm away 🥰 also she's 100% not going to see this but my mom finished her mfa program this year and has been working on finishing her novel, and writing with her and talking shop together has been very helpful in keeping me at the keyboard and with more thematically technical details (little does she know it's for my rfp fanfic lol)
anything from real life show up in your writing this year? yep! lots! keep you safe (safe as i can), an hp fic, reflects some of my worries about my little bro growing up; Questions Involving Vampires & Skirts, while not reflective of my own gender, does reflect some of my weird gender-y fuckery; just dance (gonna be okay)'s michael shares my feelings regarding dancing in empty elevators; do you wanna touch (yeah) is inspired by me visiting a craft store with my fam and touching basically everything in the store; permanent jet lag is based off of flying international with my baby bro who is Very Tall; & glasses is based off of my truly awful eyesight and how i still feel like if i have my glasses off people can't perceive me lol (yes you heard it here first folks, megs has the object permanence of a toddler)
any new wisdom you can share with other writers? write! have fun with it! go to irl critique groups if possible! don't expect things to be perfect on the first draft, because most people's first drafts are shit and that's okay! challenge yourself! don't be afraid to embrace the cringe! it's okay to settle unless it's gonna make you miserable! eat your writing frogs! don't be afraid to ask for help! get a rubber duck!
any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year? i really want to finish tis the damn fic. i'd love for it to be ready to post by december. i'm kneeling at my prefrontal cortex begging it to get its shit together enough to finish it. i'd also love to finally finish my another place songfic bc that will mean my writing's reached the level where i can actually figure out how to write the dang thing which is the dream
tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: idk who all's done it/been tagged so if you've already done it just ignore me! and if you don't want to do it you can also ignore me lol but i'll tag @werewolfashton , @reveriesofawriter , @userbadomens , @calumthoodshands , @pixiegrl , @valiantnerdtm , & anyone else who wants to! (if you've been mainly writing for another fandom you can talk about that one as well/instead, all up to you!)

i want your opinion on this theory i have that i can’t quite make out, so in the music video, there’s this shot of them splitting up, ashton and michael walk in one direction and luke and calum in the other. they then all wander in their own direction and we have all these shots of them in this dream-like world where they’re upside down and stuff. what i find interesting is that calum and luke, who walked out in the same direction initially, are the two helping ashton and michael, who split up in the other direction. i don’t know what to make of it, but it really feels like it has the be connected. what do you think?
Hello!! Thank you for the ask!! This is so exciting!! Your brain!!
Okay so thing to note is that the groups that separate in direction are the groups maintained role-wise in the later scenes of the music video. We have mashton both stuck in one form or another and we have cake both alleviating that situation somehow. @ghost-of-you of-you made a wonderful analysis about the differences in the Cashton vs Muke scene in comparison of Ashton vs. Michael. @ashtonsunshine also made a great analysis of the music video!
Building on that, the split in pairs could be a metaphor for their differences in drive (at least appearance wise. like I wouldn’t say cake don’t want their dreams to come true but it’s different to mashton). This works with the idea that the “desert” works as a symbol for their careers/dreams/etc. The spilt calls to their differences in approach to journey. It’s then worth noting that they actually end up going in four different directions in the wider shots. They’re all wandering alone.
So why the pairings as they’re showcased? (below the break bc it got long)
My opinion is, maybe, some wink towards the beginnings of the band. Muke didn’t like each other at the start and yet they started the starting of the band with the youtube covers. Cashton likewise were the last to meet but as they’ve said, Calum was the one to “formally” ask Ashton to join the band. Additionally, Calum’s the one without any introduction to Ashton prior to the band (see Michael and the ad and knowing of his previous bands & Lashton’s meet cute story). Despite the idea of Mashton being opposites, they’re fairly similar. Muke and Cashton, imo, are the real opposites.
I would make the claim that Mashton are the just-do-ers while Cake are the overthinkers. While I’m sure they have their own moments of getting stuck in their heads, I think Mashton are more inclined to rush into things whether it is to get it over with or with the mindset that you have to at least try. Meanwhile I think Cake are inclined to thinking through what they will do and say (generalization) before going about it. With the video, it’s Mashton trying to continue on somewhere on their own which they end up struggling with. It’s Cake coming along to aide them. It’s the video then doing solo shots at night with Cake by themselves (luke singing, calum rolling in the sand) and the cut to group shots.
Which to provide more opposites—Mashton, to me, come across the people of “this is my select group of friends”. As celebs especially, I think they all have that small group they do trust with a lot and then the larger group, but I would argue towards Mashton being more inclined to the selectivity, thus needing the one-to-one pull out of the loneliness. Meanwhile, for Cake, it becomes a topic of the band. Michael is inclined to being by himself in an introvert sort of way, while Ashton seems inclined to the privacy and independence said “alone” might provide. With Cake? That’s probably a place for overthinking. Yes I think Calum an introvert and everyone needs time to themself, but I would say the “alone” might not be as productive for them as it might be for Mashton. (that’s all VERY speculative though. as we’ve seen: wfttwtaf came out of isolation and Calum is a writer at heart. solo-ness can allow for said thoughts to flow)
Basically this is just a long-winded way of me saying I think Cake and Mashton as pairs have similar approaches to the band, thus they take similar directions in their paths into the desert. However, each of the four are different from each other, thus they all end up splitting into four directions. And, yet, they don’t want to nor can do this (ie: the desert aka their career as a band/their music) on their own. The opposition of Cashton and Muke (along with the roots in those pairings to the band’s beginnings) signifies the ways that the band works with and off each other to be the band that they are (ie: successful and pretty well-functioning). It’s worth noting that Cake and Mashton exit the group shot at the beginning from the same sides of the frame that they enter the pair shots. This builds on the idea of the notion being how the band comes back to each other (even with their separate journeys).
And a sort of reach but there’s a LOT of WFTTWTAF nods within the song and music video. Even the whole idea of reflection between Luke’s solo work and the past ~8 months with 5sos. I think that connection builds upon the idea of how they do things individually and come back to each other. We could read the scene the separate as “turning away” and such the reunions are “facing the things we turn away from”. This adds to the idea of how they deal with some things on their own—that there are moments where they need to step back—but also the ways they bring each other out of the difficult moments and face things together.

77 “Call me if you need anything.” with mashton? 🥺👉👈 love u!!
hi beth love u, hope u like it! 💙 as usual this ran away from me and is a 1500 word one shot 😌 send me a prompt from this list if you'd like to!
tw for panic attacks (Michael has one and Ashton talks him out of it)
Michael’s hands were shaking as he slowly dialed the phone number.
Call me if you need anything.
He tried to regulate his breathing as his finger hovered over the call button, weighing up the pros and cons in his mind.
The scrap of orange paper stuck on the fridge had been at the forefront of Michael's mind for days. Every morning when he rolled out of bed and into the kitchen it was just there. He hadn’t even needed to look at it to know what it said anymore.
Call me if you need anything.
The phone number was etched into Michael’s brain. He didn’t make a habit of memorising phone numbers, he only knew the important ones - his mum’s home number, Calum’s mobile number (all three of them), the pizza place three blocks away, and now this one. The one he wasn't sure he even wanted to remember.
He’d been in the grocery store when he’d felt the first wave of a panic attack washing over him. He’d tried to squash it down, get on with his shopping and get through the checkout before it got too bad, but by the time he’d pulled his wallet out to pay for his stuff his hands were shaking so badly that he’d dropped it twice.
“Sir, I’m sorry but I need to ask you to hurry up, I’ve got a line to get through.” The cashier was staring at him disapprovingly and Michael glanced up to see the line of people all staring at him.
“I.. uh.. forget about it.. m’sorry.” Michael grabbed his wallet and shoved it hastily into his pocket before he turned around and almost ran out of the store. He found a bench as far from the entrance as he could and collapsed onto it with his head in his hands. Michael tried to remember one of the breathing exercises Calum had taught him for moments like this, but all his brain could focus on was the people staring at him in the store. Panic bubbled up inside him and Michael let out a sob.
He couldn’t even buy groceries by himself.
“...you need to try...breathe for me okay...right here...you’re okay…”
Michael tore his head away from his hands and came face-to-face with a pair of hazel eyes looking at him worriedly. The man was crouched on the floor in front of him, grocery bags at his feet.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” The man’s voice was quiet as he spoke, “D’you think you can match your breathing to mine? Just wanna help you.”
Michael’s eyes widened as the man spoke and he instinctively pulled the sleeves of his hoodie over his hands before nodding slightly. The man smiled gently at him before continuing.
“M’kay, what we’re gonna do is breathe in for three seconds, then we’re gonna hold it for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Then we’re gonna keep repeating that til you calm down a bit, take as long as you need. Ready?”
Michael was still staring at the man wide eyed but nodded back at him.
“Okay, let's breathe in.. 2.. 3.. m’kay now hold.. 2.. 3.. Breathe out.. 2.. 3..”
Michael let the man’s voice wash over him with his eyes closed, focussing on following his instructions. Vaguely in the back of his mind he realised that this is what Calum usually got him to do. Michael wasn’t sure how long it was before he felt better, but eventually he opened his eyes and smiled weakly at the stranger.
“Thanks..” Michael’s voice was a barely whisper as he spoke, but the man smiled back at him brightly.
“Hi there… you’re welcome, how are you feeling now?” The stranger ran a hand through his hair as he spoke and lowered himself to sit on the floor cross legged.
“Feel better… how’d you…?” Michael’s voice faltered and he realised how dry his throat was.
“How’d I know how to help you?” Michael nodded at the man, “Had my fair share of panic attacks n’I know it’s not always easy to remember how to help yourself. D’you need some water?”
Michael slowly reached towards the bottle of the water the man was holding out to him, taking it carefully and unscrewing the lid.
“M’Ashton by the way.” The man - Ashton - flashed him a smile before continuing, “I, uh, I was behind you in the line..”
Michael paled at Ashton’s words, panic creeping back into his subconscious until he felt a strong hand on the top of his sneaker.
“Hey… it’s all good. I actually laid into that cashier after you’d left.. Fuckin’ unprofessional bastard.”
Michael glanced up at Ashton, sensing that the other man was telling him the truth.
“I, um, I also grabbed your groceries for you.. Figured you might need them. Was just gonna leave them here for you but then I saw you panicking and well… here we are.” Ashton spread his hands in front of him as he spoke, and Michael realised that the groceries in the bags were in fact his.
“Why.. why would you do that? You don’t even know me..” Good things didn’t just happen to Michael, there had to be a catch.
“Like I said, I’ve had panic attacks myself.” Ashton shrugged, “‘Sides, I like doing nice things for people, helps me feel a bit better about the world.”
Michael blinked at Ashton not quite believing what was happening. The man had paid for his groceries.
“I can pay you back, don’t have cash right now, but if you have paypal or venmo or something..” Michael’s words died in his throat as Ashton waved him away.
“Honestly don’t worry about it man. Just promise me something?” Ashton was rooting around in his jacket pocket as he spoke, pulling out a pen and a piece of paper. “If anything like this ever happens again, or anything at all, call me?”
Michael looked down at the piece of paper Ashton was holding out to him.
Call me if you need anything.
He wasn’t sure why, but he took the paper off the other man and slid it into the pocket of his hoodie, pulling out his car keys afterwards.
“Would, um, would you help me take these to my car?” Michael glanced at Ashton and then at the grocery bags on the floor, “It’s kinda far and m’not sure I can carry it all…”
Ashton stood up in one fluid movement, bending down to pick up some of the grocery bags.
“Sure thing man, lead the way.” He smiled at Michael gently, and Michael found himself smiling back.
Michael almost dropped the phone as the call connected and Ashton’s voice came through the speaker.
“Hi, this is Ashton.”
“Hi, um, this is…” Michael took a breath, “Um, Michael, from the uh, from the store… you said I could… call…”
“Oh! Hey man, what’s up?” Michael could hear Ashton rustling around on the other end of the line.
“I… know you said I could call if I needed anything, and m’having a bad day… only called… cuz I didn’t know what else… Calum's not answering...” Michael’s voice trailed off as he struggled to take a breath. “M’sorry, shouldn’t have bothered you….”
“Michael, it’s okay. Breathe. Where are you? Lemme come to you” Michael could hear the worry in Ashton’s voice as he spoke and he forced himself to breathe. He rattled his address off to Ashton, the other man laughing before he spoke.
“Dude, we live in the same apartment block.” Michael let out a quiet laugh, “Give me two minutes. Is your door unlocked?”
“S’a key under the doormat..”
“Y’know that’s really not very safe right? Should get one of those key safe things, I have one - you can just text people the code for it. Apartment 7, right?”
Michael hummed in agreement and heard Ashton unlocking the door before the call disconnected.
Ashton found Michael sitting on the kitchen floor, palms pressed to his eyes. Ashton crossed the space between them and sat on the floor beside him.
“D’you wanna talk about it?” Ashton made sure his voice was quiet as he spoke. Michael shook his head, “S’okay… d’you want anything?”
Michael glanced up at Ashton slowly before nodding.
“...hug… please?”
Ashton’s heart broke as the other man started sobbing as he pulled him into his arms.
“I’ve got you, Michael, it’s okay.”
His gaze wandered around the room, landing on a piece of orange paper stuck to the fridge. Ashton smiled softly and hugged Michael a little tighter.
Call me if you need anything.
He was really glad Michael listened to him. Ashton didn’t know what had happened to make Michael so upset, but he knew that whatever it was he’d do everything he could to make sure he looked after the man in his arms.

Yes omg! And to add to that, it makes me so soft just to think about how fondly they speak of each other. Like Ashton is so PROUD of Michael for how he stepped up to produce the album and he doesn't miss any opportunity to talk about it. And Michael cannot stand the thought of Ashton not feeling a part of the band, so he has to remind him at any chance he gets how important Ashton is to the band. Like, the band was only a band once Ashton joined! And Michael needs him to understand that. Michael was the one who chose Ashton, after all! He was the one who texted him at 3 am to ask if he wanted to play drums for them. That was Michael, because he KNEW Ashton was the right person even before they'd even met.
They had to put work into their friendship, but they love each other deeply and will support each other through anything. Like, Michael road-tested Ashton's candles with him on tour and then posted about them! And this birthday post Ashton made for Michael just makes me so soft, like... Like he needed Michael to know how much he's loved, especially after the year that was 2020. And the way Michael supported Superbloom (because of course he did), like just this little interaction between them is just so cute and pure 🥺 They never hesitate to tell each other how proud they are of each other and how much they love each other and they call each other brothers and it's just all so so beautiful. I fucking love Mashton.
Okay no but @pass-the-5sauce mashton poll has me in my feels (you can check the tags there) so I'm gonna ramble. Mashton is hands down the most underrated duo within the band and that drives me insane because they are fucking fascinating???? I don't think they would be friends without the band and I think they didn't have as natural as a connection as cashton or lashton but i think that the fact that they had to work on their relationship makes them so !!!!!!!! Because like, they are opposite ends of the same spectrum in some ways and it shouldn't work but they wanted it to work, so it does. Opposite ends of the battery at it's finest. And it's crazy cuz you watch stuff of them during the self titled era because they had full conversation without saying a single word, they tend to get a but chaotic but they have an understanding going between them that's insane??? Also talking self titled era they wrote 9 out of 34 songs we got during that. Including she looks so perfect. Like, hello????? And they have so many little moments happening that are just soft??? And not just stuff like the massage gun, or the msg hug, with like physical affection, but they way they talk about each other, the way they look at each other, the way they're both so quick to stop the other when they start talking down on themselves. The way Ashton can get Michael body slamming into a table over how hard he's laughing, the way they gravitate to each other when they need to *judging intensifies* but they can't say it out loud. Like they have a SOLID friendship that comes from wanting to be friends that has them settled into the level of mutual respect and love and fondness that's just !!!!!!!!!!! My tag for them is my comfort idiots are fond of each other for a reason.

6. work i’m most proud of (and why): i think it’s if i could say the things i want to say (i’d find a way to make you stay), my muke fic for the 5sos fic exchange at the beginning of the year, it was my first long fic and i was very happy about how it came out, there were many times when i didn’t think i would be able to finish it, also it was my first muke fic and i was nervous about getting the dynamic right and there was a deadline so. lots of pressure!! being able to finish it (and getting very nice comments and feedback on it) was very important for me
7. work i’m least proud of (and why): i think i’m actually proud of all of them because this year writing was a Struggle so being able to post every single one of these fics feels like something to be proud of! 
8. share or describe a favorite review you received: i can’t think of one in particular right now but anyone who has ever complimented my characterization or said that i got a ship/friendship dynamic right please know that i love you! this year i wrote quite a few fics for ships i’ve never done before and it made me very nervous whether or not i did it right so any comments like those made my day for sure
also i think the comments on mating call might be some of my favorite comments ever because, let’s face it, that fic is ridiculous svdfdf and people still read it and they left the nicest comments calling it funny and calling me funny and it was very nice to see people enjoying it, especially considering it was the most fun i had while writing a fic i think EVER 
9. a time when writing was really, really hard: can i say the entire year??? there were maybe 2 or 3 fics that i posted this year that didn’t give me a hard time, but the rest of the year i was Struggling either because i had no time or no motivation or writing simply wasn't happening. i’m actually impressed that i posted 13 fics because at times it felt like i wasn’t getting any writing done this year 
10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: well i definitely didn’t expect to end up writing for 911 or stranger things, so that was a surprise! i also didn’t expect to write lashton again! and i didn’t expect to write a luke/suffering fic! all of them were fun surprises though 
11. a favorite excerpt of your writing: i thought about this for a while and then i had to skim through my fics because i couldn’t remember what i wrote oops but i really like this excerpt from i wanna hold your hand while we’re growing up so let’s go with this one
Michael focuses on their hands.
The contrast between their skin, Calum’s chipped black nail polish, Michael’s finger tattoos, the difference in their size.
It wasn’t always like this. Calum’s hand used to be smaller, Michael’s fingers used to be less calloused, but it’s still familiar, after years of doing this.
And maybe it’s the fact that Calum looks tiny like this, hurt and scared, but his hand feels smaller in Michael’s hold, like it did the first time he held it. Back then, Calum also needed reassurance and a friend, and Michael was there for him, the same way he is now. Just like he didn’t let go of Calum’s hand then, during the entire field trip, he doesn’t let go of it now; holding tight to it while he talks to his mother, while they wait for the doctor, while she explains to Calum that it’s going to be a long road towards recovery and he’s going to need his friends.
Michael squeezes his hand to make sure Calum knows he’s here. Michael will always be here.
12. how did you grow as a writer this year? well apparently i wrote 45k more than i did in 2021? which feels so fake because like i said i felt like i didn't post as much and i felt like i struggled a lot. also i wrote 4 fics over 9k which was my highest word count for a fic in 2021
more importantly i also learned (or at least i’m still trying to learn) that sometimes you just can’t force writing. i have to admit i’ve missed writing 5sos lately but i’ve stopped trying to force myself to do it because it takes away all the fun and i don’t want that. i’m hoping that the motivation to write for this fandom will come back, but i’m trying to write what i want to write and right now that’s not 5sos and that’s okay
13. how do you hope to grow next year? i just really want to enjoy writing again and like, let go of the pressure because it doesn’t make the process enjoyable at all. even if i’m proud of what i accomplished this year i spent so much time stressing!! and life is already stressful, i want writing to be fun!!
14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)? oh there’s quite a few! i think i owe most of the fics i posted this year to my friends??? like, maya @calumsash was so supportive while writing my muke fic, she gave me great ideas, listened to me complain and hyped me up so much when i would send her snippets (which she always does <3), her and jess @daydadahlias never fail to hype up my cashton fics or ideas!! talking with amanda was what made me write a lashton fic again!! and she gave me ideas/feedback on one of my malum fics too!! then there’s taylor of course who’s always down to talk about ideas that may or may not turn into fics and i’m not only lucky to be able to talk about 5sos fics with them but they also encouraged me to write my stranger things fic and had very nice things to say about it and then i managed to get them into 911 (maya too!) and now i get to talk to them about fic ideas for buddie too
15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year? hm i don’t think so? all i can think about is the fact that calum loves chocolate milkshakes in one of my fics and michael doesn’t get why (which is based on me and taylor having that same argument once lmao) 
16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers? write what you want but also accept that sometimes a fic idea doesn’t have to become a fic, sometimes it’s just fun to talk about it or daydream about it or make a moodboard for it! it’s not exactly writing wisdom but it makes having fun a little easier!! less pressure!!
17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year? i have two long cashton fics that i really want to finish but like i said the motivation to write for the boys hasn’t been there, but hopefully at some point. i have quite a lot written for both so maybe i can make it happen. one is a fake relationship au and i’ve always wanted to write that trope so i really really want to finish that one!! and the other one is the one that me and maya affectionately refer to as the storm au, i’ve sent her so many snippets and there’s so much that i love about what i have written and that i really want to share!! also i have a few ideas for buddie that i think have a higher chance of happening in the near future because i’m so obsessed with them right now lol there’s one that i want to post before they come back from hiatus so i’m hoping to focus on that one for now!! we’ll see!!
18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: pretty sure everyone has been tagged already, but if you haven’t and you want to do it, then i’m tagging you <3

2022 Writing Evaluation
I was tagged by the wonderful Bella @clumsyclifford (thank you for digging this up and tagging me first because i 100% was going to do it anyway lol)
also my pseudonyms are combined on ao3 so although this is my 5sos blog you will be hearing about my other fandom writing as well
1. number of stories posted on ao3: 17!
2. word count posted for this year: 124,269 on ao3, 23,433 for ask box prompts, so a grand total of 147,702!
3. fandoms i wrote for: 5sos, 1d, It (2017 and 2019 movies), Stranger Things, HSMTMTS, Cobra Kai
4. pairings: on ao3 we have some nice crisp muke, lashton, mashton, mashton (friendship version), cashton, cake, malum, narry, lilo (and then also kiaz and caswen (friendship(?) version) and reddie and hellcheer).  adding in the ask box prompts and we also have 5sos ot4, roylum, and lashton (friendship version)
5. story with the most kudos/bookmarks/comments: for all of those it’s technically my hellcheer fic, but for the 5sos ones hits and kudos are The Catch, comment threads is pas de deux! 
6. work i’m most proud of (and why): pas de deux hands down no question.  it’s my longest fic by over 20k!  i wrote it almost constantly from november to december and had a goal to post each chapter on christmas and the four sundays leading up to it and i actually accomplished that goal!!!! i’ve never successfully focused on one particular fic for that long, and it actually worked!!! plus, for such a long fic, i think i did a relatively good job of keeping characterizations consistent and sensical throughout, as well as finding little themes to carry through the entire fic (which i got lucky with tbh, some things that became running pieces of the fic were not planned out before, i just caught them as they were happening).  i haven’t read the fic back since completing it so it’s possible it’s not as cohesive or as good as i think it is, but i’m extremely proud of myself for it nonetheless.
7. work i’m least proud of (and why): right now, it’s probably when i watch the world burn.  i struggled with that one and in the end i don’t think it quite got to where i wanted it to, but i was on a time crunch.  it’s a lot different from what i usually write, but i don’t know if i made that transition to a different story style and topic as smoothly as i would have liked.
8. share or describe a favorite review you received: someone left a very long and gratifying comment on both Puzzle Pieces and its sequel Bedroom Activities back in February.  grey114 if you see this i love you.  it was really gratifying to get a comment on a piece that i love so much that was over a year old at that point, especially since they said it was a reread and they just touched on a lot of things in a really sweet way and that made me feel very happy to have written those fics.
also i know this doesn’t technically count because it got it today but amanda read when i watch the world burn (again, not my proudest work) and said that although this “isn’t her kind of fic” she said that that particular fic is the “biggest proof that it’s the writer more than the content or pairing” because she enjoyed it, which was really nice to hear especially when i’m not feeling the best about it.  it’s also just an insane compliment because i absolutely love amanda’s writing, and every time a writer i love also confirms that they really like my stuff it makes me feel good lol
9. a time when writing was really, really hard: the entire first 3/4 of the year, tbh!  i was in a big writing slump earlier in the year and it seemed to keep going forever, then I was super busy in the summer and simply didn’t have time.  i don’t think i hit my writing stride again until i let myself impulse-write for other fandoms.  i think that’s what i really started to realize exactly what it means to write what you love uninhibited, rather than writing what you think you should.  like. i have 10k of an angsty caswen at college fic in my drive that may never see the light of day because it’d be super long, but letting myself go to town on that with no expectations of necessarily posting it or even completing it was really healthy for me and extremely enjoyable, and it loosened all the writing mechanisms in my brain to get me back in a writing groove.
10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: hmmmmm let’s see.  honestly i was most surprised to write anything for hsmtmts or cobra kai, let alone something from johnny’s pov, but for 5sos stuff i was surprised to write so much feldy.  he became a pretty big player in pas de deux and when initially planning that fic i don’t think i realized how much screen time he would have.  ashton’s characterization in when i watch the world burn was also surprising.  i didn’t know when i started writing that he would be like that.
11. a favorite excerpt of your writing:  here’s a little bit of the ending of undeniable you
When Ashton fully wakes up, he can hear spring rain pattering against the roof.  The room is still blanketed in gray, but Michael is still glowing, even if Ashton only has a view of his bedhead from the way they’re cuddled together.  He shifts right before Ashton musters up the willpower to leave the comforting warmth of their bedroom and begin breakfast, as if he can sense that Ashton would rather spend the morning talking with him in appropriately hushed tones than leaving the cozy atmosphere that surrounds them.  His eyes are fuzzy and sleepy when he blinks up at him, but he smiles like he’s never been more sure of his place here.
12. how did you grow as a writer this year? i finally truly understood what it means to write for myself!!!! to write for the enjoyment of writing!!!! to stop holding myself to arbitrary standards of what fics i should be working on and how often!!!!!! this year i really let myself work on what i want when i want, and it really did wonders for me.  also, i discovered that for the most part outlining does genuinely help me
13. how do you hope to grow next year? mostly i want to continue to write what i want to write.  i want to maintain this peace and enjoyment of writing that i’ve found and continue to treat myself with kindness when it comes to this hobby and not let it become unpleasant.  that being said, i do also want to focus on individual projects more.  i think the key to ensuring these two things aren’t mutually exclusive is to find projects that i genuinely love and to add little bits in there for me to enjoy, like all of the minnesota references (and the csi miami reference) in pas de deux.
EDIT: I also want to start replying to comments this year! i might not reply to new comments on old fics just because i’d feel weird not replying to the comments before (and i have fics form 2016, so i feel like it’d be weird if i went back and replied to those) but i’ll at least reply to comments put on pas de deux onwards.
14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)? okay i’m going to list four (4!!!) different people.  bella @clumsyclifford and annie @carouselstars have both been extremely supportive, especially while i’ve been complaining in the club nearly every day for the past two months.  they’re always encouraging me.  i also need to give a big shout out to megs @igarbagecannoteven and gregory @doomeddiabetic for being great sounding boards! pas de deux would not have been completed without megs helping me sort things out in the very beginning, and gregory is willing to talk shop about fandoms they’re not even part of.
15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year? little things here and there!  it’s most prevalent in pas de deux, where i highkey projected onto both characters and forced them to exist in minneapolis.  i have been to mia and love all of the art pieces i mentioned in chapter 3. my favorite ballet is dances at a gathering.  i, like calum, must always remind people of famous minnesotans.  shayla is my favorite newscaster.  i watch csi miami and ncis when i need something mindless on in the background.  i namedropped my old tech director and ballet teacher in that one.  pas de deux is full of little hazel pieces lol
16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers? find what pleases you!  find what you enjoy, and don’t turn writing into a chore that you have to do, but rather a special treat to enjoy!  this doesn’t mean that it’s going to be sunshine and rainbows all the time, of course.  maybe you’re the type of writer who gets immense satisfaction from finishing a difficult piece, and that far outweighs the frustration and struggles to write it!  everyone is going to be different with figuring out what constitutes enjoyment, but that’s what helped me, at least.
17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year? i’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself but i really hope to finish three particular 5sos fics.  i think they could become my new favorites.  i also have a cobra kai fic that i’d love to write!  also, i really want to post at least one chapter of unmute, given that i didn’t do that this year
18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read:  @igarbagecannoteven, @carouselstars, @lifewasradical, @jbhmalumm, @lukemichaelcalumashton, @babush-cat if you’d like!

2021 Writing Self-Evaluation
thank you hazel ( @allsassnoclass ) for tagging me for this!! 😊 putting the answers under a read more bc y’all know my answers will be not be consise lol
1. number of stories posted on ao3: 7 :))
2. word count posted for this year: 20,232
3. fandoms i wrote for: i’ve only posted 5sos fic, but i have worked on/fiddled with a couple of old hp wips this year!
4. pairings: i’ve only posted cake, malum, mashton, and lashton, but i did finish a fic for every pairing (not including ot3/ot4) this year!
5. story with the most kudos/bookmarks/comments: the answer to all three of those is by far don’t let me drown in my mind! i could delve into the reasons why i think it’s my most popular but the night is not-so-young and also that’s not the question lol.
6. work i’m most proud of (and why): oh goodness that’s a hard one! i’m proud of everything i’ve posted for various reasons (i wouldn’t have posted them if i wasn’t) but i think today i’m particularly proud of we gotta make a decision (leave tonight or live and die this way) for a lot of reasons. it’s set in an au that i have much bigger plans for and i love the characters so much, which in some ways made it a lot more difficult to write and stressful to post bc i wanted it to do well. while it’s set somewhere very similar to where i was born, it deals with a lot of things that i have zero experience in, and i think i pulled them all off semi-decently! also, this grew a *lot* from the first draft to the final one (mostly thanks to the fact that i turned in a het version for my prose class and used their critiques to shape the fic lol) and i’m very proud of the way i was able to take the notes i was given and make a much better work because of them. i think it’s leaning toward more of my “literary” style instead of my fic style which is my only quibble with it, but i think that works for the content of the fic.
7. work i’m least proud of (and why): most of the works i’m not proud of have not seen the light of day tbh. every work over 1k that I’ve posted is the result of weeks of stressing and editing and pulling my hair out because i really do my best to make sure i don’t post something i’m going to regret lol. that being said,,, i do wish that if i bleed you’ll be the last to know was just a touch more polished. like, it has a lot of stuff i’m proud of and i think overall it’s a decent fic, but i’m not confident that the pacing is up to scratch and the ending isn’t the best, although i always struggle with endings. but i do love it! and it’s really not bad! i’m just very picky lol. beyond posted work, i’m not proud of how many wips are less than a quarter done. i’ll be the first to admit i’m a slow writer and i do try to keep my expectations of myself realistic, but i do think i could have gotten more done.
8. share or describe a favorite review you received: i’ve recieved several reviews that i carry with me in a special box next to my heart so it’s really hard to choose! i will say that when i sent bella the doc for don’t let me drown in my mind asking her to beta read and her first reaction was something along the lines of “i’m so relieved you’re a good writer” was really affirming to me because i am a little insecure about my writing and that felt like a very honest comment bc idk about everyone else but i’ve def had the feeling of like, reading someone you know’s writing for the first time with your fingers crossed chanting under your breath “please be good” bc it’ll be so awkward if it’s not dsjflkdsjf so yeah it just gave me that moment of like “okay i’m not a shitty writer” lol. honorary mention to helen sending me a message about a specific line in what if i’m weak (and i need you tonight) bc when i received the notification i’m pretty sure i actually squealed kjsdflkjdslkdsjf
9. a time when writing was really, really hard: writing is tremendously hard for me about 90% of the time, and i mean miserable, pulling-my-teeth-out hard lol. (don’t ask me why it’s my main hobby because i still don’t know how to answer that lol) writing seeing things in a different light was especially stressful though because it was my first time writing for someone else and when that someone is as talented as adri that makes it extra scary lol. it was also my first time writing fic on a deadline, which mean it was the first time since middle school i was expected to have a final draft at a specific date (most creative writing classes only ask for your next draft, not necessarily your last). it was also my first foray into fluff, *and* my first time writing something that would only really work as a fanfic, so there were a lot of learning curves. but i’m pretty proud of the finished result, and adri left a lovely comment on it that i go back to whenever i need a pick me up, so it was definitely worth it!!
10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: i know i legit just posted this but i did not expect to write a bee au. like, i know i love a hyper-specific au but that’s a bit much even for me ksjdfljdskfj also the fact that the bigger au for we gotta make a decision features a subplot revolving around the opioid crisis is insane. like what was i thinking when i made that decision. (i know what i was thinking but still. craziness.) 
11. a favorite excerpt of your writing: listen. on a craft level i find this to be one of the most heavy-handed things i’ve written, like i really stretched this in a way i maybe shouldn’t have. it is not something i’d ever include in a work for class. however. i am so in love with the dissected frog metaphor in if i bleed you’ll be the last to know it was just so fun to write and while i’d probably dislike it if someone else wrote it, it makes me smile just thinking about it. part of me says not to quote it here but as a treat for myself here it is:
Calum felt like a dissected frog, like his insides were all neatly lined up on the table on top of his English notes, each organ pinned with a little label. If it were anyone else seeing his guts laid out in the open, he was certain he would start desperately attempting to shove them all back in, not even caring if they went in the correct spot as long as they were safely hidden again, but since it was Michael, there was no surge of fear. He knew Michael would gently put everything back in its proper place, that he wouldn’t take pictures or type up a research article. Calum never would have thought it was possible to feel safe inside-out if he hadn’t met Michael.
12. how did you grow as a writer this year? i posted my first ever fanfic! i *finished* my first ever fanfic!! i’d never actually finished a work of fiction before this year, can you believe it? never reached that final draft. and now i have! multiple times!! wtf!!! i also think my decision in august to hold off on posting fic and instead squirrel them away until i get 24 complete fics was a big moment for me. like i said before, writing doesn’t actually bring me a lot of joy, so it’s important to me that i make sure the parts that *do* make me happy continue to do so, and my hope is that this challenge thingy will help me do that. i’m very proud that i was able to recognize the way posting fic was starting to turn sour and nipping it in the bud before it could do that.
13. how do you hope to grow next year? hopefully finish more fics! i think that writing is very much one of those skills where the only way to get better is to do so, and i’m hopeful that my writing will continue to improve as i go. i’d also like to stop comparing my writing process to other writers. it can be hard to be a slow writer in a fandom where so many great authors can churn out longer fics in a matter of weeks or even days and still have the work be amazing, and it’s also hard when you’re someone who takes multiple drafts to get a fic where it needs to be when there are people who can ace it on the first draft. i’d really like to shed that habit of thinking of my writing process in comparison of others but instead simply in comparison of my past self. also, on a less writer-y note, i’d like to get better at leaving comments on fics i enjoy! part of the reason i don’t comment very much is because it does take a certain amount of spoons to do so, but there are also other reasons that i’m going to try to get out of the way. january is apparently a month where some people try to comment on every fic they read so i may try to do that! 
14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)? i mean i can’t *not* mention the fantabulous @clumsyclifford because not only is she the reason that i started writing for this fandom, she’s also a wonderful beta and so so good about me randomly talking to her about my fic problems, even if it’s for a work that’s really not her thing. also hazel has been so encouraging and kind about my writing and is *also* a great beta as well as someone who shares my excitement for niche aus!
15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year? yep! i really did cut a watermelon in half with an oyster shell for seeing things in a different light (sometimes research can be fun!) and i’ve also written two fics heavily inspired by my hometown (seeing things in a different light and we gotta make a decision) *and* there’s don’t let me drown in my mind whose first 1k is very heavily inspired by real events. like, i changed some of the things i was freaking out about but all of the descriptions and intrusive thought/executive dysfunction stuff was written from memory. 
16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers? join an irl writers/critique group that isn’t mainly for fic. no, i’m not saying this for some elitist reason or just because i love critique groups (okay, maybe a little for that last reason), but because it’s just a very different experience than having beta readers or people in your doc. i’m of the firm belief that listening to other’s work being critique can help you with your own, and i also think that critique groups are more likely to tell you if something needs a more drastic change. beta-ing and having people in your docs has a lot of positives, many of which you won’t necessarily get in a critique group, but getting critiques irl can offer you lots of positives as well. it doesn’t have to be one or the other! and you don’t have to disclose that you write rpf; i definitely don’t! finally, i do think that writing and critiquing are two separate skills, and if you want to build up your critiquing muscles you’ve got to exercise them (not that you have to if you don’t want to! there are plenty of brilliant writers who are terrible at critiques and there are some mediocre writers that are great at critiques, you don’t need one to do the other.)
17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year? so many it’s actually ridiculous. i would commit actual crimes to finish tis the damn fic this year, i started it in february and it is still no where near done and while i am absolutely in love with the characters and the world i just want it all to be on the page so i can share it with people already!! my new year’s resolution is actually to make some major headway on my fic challenge, and while i doubt i’m going to reach 24 i’d like to get semi-close. 15? 20? among those, i’m looking forward to several 5(ish)+1 fics i’ve got sizzling (faking the moonlanding au, mer!ashton au, another crackfic i won’t spoil), plus i’d love to finish up/start some more driving is for lovers fics because my brand is not going to make itself :)) 
18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: i’m not sure if other people have tagged new people (that makes zero sense but hopefully y’all know what i mean lol) so i’ll just tag a few peeps: @cringeycal , @pixiegrl , @werewolfashton , @valiantnerdtm , @burstingsunrise , @kaleidoscopeminds , @tirednotflirting , and anyone else who wants to! (and if i tagged you and you don’t want to that’s totally fine! it’s not obligatory!)

I’m A Good Girl
Prompt: “Hello! If you're still doing requests, can you do Loki x reader- "I did not know you had it in you" ~ @loki-is-so-beautiful​
Summary: Loki thinks you’re too innocent to do any dirty moves or anything dirty for that matter, but you’re about to prove him wrong.
Warnings: SMUTTTYYYY!!!! Oh yessssss
(Prompt List) ~ REQUESTS OPEN
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
It was nights like these that made you love the man on your lap even more. He loved your enthusiasm to do anything with him and also whenever you showed him new movies. Tonight you decided to watch “Burlesque” with Cher and Christina Aguilera. It was one of your favorites and you thought Loki would enjoy it too. The costumes, the dancing, and the music were all fabulous. “I want to be just like them and dance like that,” you addressed aloud. Your boyfriend chuckled in response and began to rub your knee. “My love, I don’t think those dance moves are in your comfort zone. Being sexy in bed is one thing, but dancing provocatively doesn’t seem to be in your nature.” Oh, but it was. Dancing was your passion and it made you feel sexy.
Yes you were shy and loved to reserve yourself for Loki, but his little comments only made you want to prove him wrong. And that is just what you were going to do. Nudging your boyfriend to get up, he gave you a puzzled face and followed your motions with his eyes. “My love, where are you going?” You placed a kiss on his head and began to walk away. “I’ll be right back. Just keep watching the movie.” You smirked to yourself and swayed your hips as you left a very confused Loki behind you. This was your chance to prove him wrong, and you couldn’t help but be very excited. Prancing into your bedroom, you headed straight for your closet to pull out a bra and panty set that you have been saving for special occasions with Loki. It was lace with double straps on the thong that rested on your hips as well as the bra gave a little push up to help accentuate your boobs. It left little imagination to the eye. But the best part was that it was green and black to match his armor, which you know would drive him insane.
Slipping into the little number, you took one last glance at yourself in the mirror and touched up your makeup. Damn, you thought to yourself. Loki was in for a treat. Grabbing your bluetooth speaker, you headed back downstairs to give Loki his “present”. When you reached the living room, you saw that he was totally engrossed in the movie, which gave you an opportunity to sneak in. Swaying your hips and walking to him with purpose, you stopped in front of his view and stared at him. Once he saw your very revealing attire, he nearly choked on his water as his jaw fell to the ground. “Um, my pet, what is going on?” You paused the TV, hooked up your speaker, and laid a pose to begin your dance for him. As the music began to play, you followed the moves to “I’m a Good Girl” (from the movie Burlesque), but added your own touch to it, seeing that you didn’t have back up dancers or a pole to work with. As your hips swayed to the rhythm, you could tell that Loki’s full attention was on your snake like movements. Seeing that he liked your movement so much, you began to take it further and grope yourself during the movement. Squeezing your boobs together and rubbing your hands down your torso, Loki’s eyes never left your hands as they followed down to your inner thighs. Pulling your hands away immediately and winking at Loki, he muttered, “Fuckin tease”. 
When the chorus began to kick in, you walked over to Loki and threw your leg over his lap and you circled your hips, settling in his lap. Feeling his hard cock underneath, you subconsciously rolled your hips to the beat as his hands rested lazily on your waist. Your plan was working perfectly because Loki was quite speechless, and you couldn’t help but notice some drool that fell from his lip. It was working! Twisting in his lap so that your back was facing his chest, you began to grind your ass on his hard member, earning a very deserved moan from his lips. “Love, you are going to be the death of me.” BUT you weren’t done yet...Getting up from his lap, you walked over to stand in front of the TV to finish the dance. Your hand reached behind your back as you began to undo your bra, but Loki was too quick. He lunged at you, almost knocking you over, but instead he picked you up so your legs wrapped around his torso. 
His lips were on yours in seconds, and the both of you were a panting mess. He plopped you on the couch and continued to finish your strip-tease. “Well, I can say for certain that I did not know you had that in you, my love.” You giggled as he yanked your panties down. “What can I say, I’m just a good girl.” His lips were on your ear as he whispered breathlessly, “Not tonight you’re not.” As he lined himself up with you, your breathing hitched as you knew what was about to happen. You loved moments like these, when Loki was dominant. As he slid in, your mouth opened as a gasp escaped your lips. He started at a gentle pace that drove you mad, never once disconnecting your lips in the process. His tongue danced with yours as your bodies moved as one. Loki felt your fingernails digging into his back, knowing that his slow thrusts were making you fall apart. Small red marks began to form on his pale skin. His head fell on  your shoulder and began to bite softly on your collarbone, leaving a trail of what would be bruises in the morning. It made you gasp in pleasure and moan, which made him smile devilishly knowing he was pleasing his girl. He increased his pace, as he pushed you against the wall harder with his thrusts.  
“I’m so close, Loki”, you whimpered out, clutching onto the man tighter so you could feel every inch of him inside you. “You can let go, my pet. Let me feel you cum around me” he cupped her cheek and looked into your eyes, nodding softly. His sulky voice was all you needed to fall apart and scream out in pleasure as your walls clenched around him. Loki felt his own release, and moaned with you, feeling pure bliss as he filled you up. Falling down on the couch, you both were trembling with post-orgasm ecstasy. “So, I think we can both agree that you may just be the hottest dancer in all the realms.” Loki finally said, after a few moments of silence. You giggled and rested your head on his chest, tracing patterns on his torso. “Thank you, baby. Told you I wasn’t innocent.” He hummed in response and pulled you closer to him. “Oh that’s for sure. Anytime you want to dance for me, I’m all yours.” You smiled and tucked your head in the crook of his neck. “I love you, Loki.” Pressing a chaste kiss to your lips, he smiled down at you. “I love you too, my little dancer.” 
This was the girl that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Little did you know he was saving something for a special occasion too, but it came in the form of a ring. ;)

8 songs, 8 rules (or something)
RULES: 8 song prompts & tag 8 people
thank you for the tag @staticsounds @redrattlers @tirednotflirting and @reachthezeneth !!
1. Favorite song at the moment.
Starting Line by Luke Hemmings she says to the surprise of no one. also That Funny Feeling by Bo Burnham and Goodbye by Bo Burnham
2. A song you associate with your favorite ship.
This requires me picking a favorite ship which like I don’t know how to do that. So we’ll go with my narrowed down top 3 ships.
so first CALM bc ot4 is superior. I have decided. their whole existence and meeting is fanfic material (childhood besties malum. we both thought the other was too cool cake. enemies to besties muke. met online mashton. we’ve met before! lashton. was angry bc where tf were you but then I fell in love with you cashton.) anyways song from my ot4 playlist Never Be by 5sos and my biggest writing goal is to write a fic based on it bc I could go on forever about colors in 5sos music.
next ship is birdflash and the song I associate would be Heroes by MIKA and like specifically YJ!verse but could work otherwise. and the other ship is Blam (from glee) and I associate them with Sick of Losing Soulmates by dodie.
the real moral of the story here is that I love the friends to lovers trope and most of my favorite ships exist in this realm of I’m okay with them being strictly platonic or being romantic and what matters to me is how they see ALL of the other and still choose to love them (platonic or romantic). and that said… there’s a lot of overlap on songs lol
3. A song that could be about you.
26 by Paramore bc even though that’s about her… the first time I heard the song I started crying and it’s just… learning to navigate being your biggest critic and most important supporter is a Struggle. trying to stay grounded and not give up on dreams. I just RELATE to this song with my whole being
4. A song that you think is underrated.
At the End of the Day by Mali-Koa. Listen like this whole album is phenomenal but I really think we don’t talk about this song enough. It’s really about this idea that everything you want to be and need to be is already inside you. that whatever you’re searching for you’ll find it because you already have it. idk it’s a comforting song for me and I think one of the best lyrics on the album (okay honestly the whole album is just lyrically a masterpiece)
5. A song that reminds you of a good memory.
Sevens by Samuel Hazo. My high school band never followed through on performing this in a concert, but learning this piece and everything was such a positive experience during band. Also 11/16 & 7/16 was just really fun to play! Learning the xylo part was an adventure but truly something I enjoyed and it’s just very tied to the best feelings of being in band. Notably a memory of one run through that was just spot on! (Also that feeling of finally getting the piece right? YEAH)
6. The last song you listened to.
Sticky (with SHAED) - Piano Version by The Maine (or well technically Upside Down by Austin Moon bc I watched Austin & Ally) like Sticky is a great song and then make it all pretty with a piano and then make it a duet???
7. A song that makes you laugh.
P*rnstar by ModSun. Censored bc I feel weird about that word being on my blog. Like it’s not even a bad song either? It’s very secksual though. And was like unexpected despite being completely expected based on the title. IDK it’s just like… made me laugh while listening to Internet Killed the Rockstar.
For a more sfw song: The Turd Song by Big Time Rush. Iconic. Amazing. Genius. Invented music. James’ run at the end?!?!
8. A song you want your mutuals to listen to.
I don’t think a day will go by where I don’t find a way to rec flights by twentylove. Like it’s just… a great song. lyrics and all it’s a favorite of mine. but for a different song Watercolors by Will Jay like it frustrates me this is the only version he’s released bc this song is sooooooooo good.
