20 question for writers tag game

tagged by @taumoebaa Thank you! 🥰

1. Total number of ao3 works?

105, apparently.

2. Total ao3 word count

1,154,048 That... a lot of worde o.O

3. Fandoms I've written in

Fandoms I've published in are: How to train your dragon Zelda Miraculous Ladybug The Empyrean - Fourth Wing Pokemon Stardew Valley But I also wrote many unfinished fics, for fandoms like Final Fantasy VII & VIII, Crescent City, ACOTAR, Starcrossed (Josephine Angelini), and Divergent.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

Okay, this feels a bit ridiculous... 😆 1. When Three Wrongs Make One right. (1449) (ML) 2. For The Love Of A Princess (709) (HTTYD) 3. Keeping The Facade (701) (ML) 4. Resurrection (615) (HTTYD/MCU) 4. My Kingdom. My Throne. my Queen. (317) (The Empyrean) 5. Part of our 'us' (311) (The Empyrean) I crossed out Resurrection because I didn't write this one, I was just one of the alpha-readers. But this shows so well how little Kudos really say about a fic. The two Miraculous fics there? I love them, but especially Keeping The Facade is just a cute/angsty little smutshot for a (relative) rarepair. That fandom is/was just so huge that the hits/Kudos catapult it up there to the top. In comparisson, FTLOAP is my big epic story, close to 400k words, many years of planning and writing. That just doesn't measure up.

5. Do I respond to comments?

I try to, yes. I just have this thing where I only respond to comments (in longer stories) when I'm about to post the followup-chapter. Which leads to... some comments never getting answers when I fail to keep writing. Or comments on previous chapters getting lost in my inbox. 😶

6. What has the angstiest ending?

Thats's difficult. 🤔 I don't even remember all my fics anymore. 😅 But I think that must be 'Follow Your Heart', at least without the (optional) sequals.

7. What has the happiest ending?

I feel like all my fics (with few exceptions) end on a lovely happy fluffy note. That's just my thing, and trying to pin down which is the happiest doesn't work.

8. Have I received hate?

Oh, yes! Some years ago, there as a dedicated Anon in the HTTYD fandom, who methodically attacked every writer who didn't write their fav couple as 'pure' as they wanted them to be. They would write loooong and elaborate comments about aaaaaaall the things we as writers did wrong and how that clearly reflects how awful people we are in RL. The fandom banded together to drive them away, but... those there some rough months.

9. Do I write smut? And what kind?

YES! I love writing (and reading) smut. 😁 There's always an underlying tone of emotions and devotion and love in my smut, even or especially when I dive into BDMS and D/s dynamics.

10. Do I write crossovers?

Not really. There are fics in my list that are 'tagged' as crossover, but they're really just characters from one fandom slipping into the world of another. Like modern AUs, in a way, or the [Hiccup=the doctor, Eret=Capt. Jack Harkness, Astrid=T.A.R.D.I.S.] thing I once wrote. Or random (disney) characters showing up as background characters in some httyd fics.

11. Have I ever had a fic stolen?

No, thankfully not. Or at least I'm not aware of it. But someone once stole one of my AMVs, and it felt awful.

12. Have I ever had a fic translated?

Someone once asked me for permission to translate one of my fics. But in the middle of it, their government shut down the fanfic platform they were using, so they never finished the tranlsation.

13. Have I ever co-written a fic?

I have! Though never in an equal share. I've helped and received help in the form of alpha reading, which at some points feels like co-writing (but isn't). And I wrote a fic with a friend (though not under my general name 😅) where I would contribute full chapters here and there after we talked about the general plot points. That was so much fun! 🥰

14. What is my all-time fave ship?

I don't think this is a question I can answer. Maybe I can say that Hiccstrid is the ship that had the biggest influence on my life, for various reasons, but naming them my all-time fave would diminish what I feel about other important ships.

15. A WIP I'll never finish

Uh... probably too many to count. But I can say for certain that I'll never finish 'Astrid's Diary'. It was a POV fic, the first HTTYD movie and the TV show from Astrid's POV. But the background story I had in mind died a quiet sad death with the release of more seasons, and I lost interest in either writing my version or adapting it to the new canon.

16. Writing strengths?

Dialogues and emotions, or so I've been told.

17. Writing weaknesses?

Descriptions of places, how something looks. My brain works 100% non-visual and that makes it hard to a) imagine how a place or a person looks and b) to describe it once I made the effort to build the look up in my head. I just go by vibes.

18. Do I like foreign language dialogue?

Not really. As English is already a foreign laguage for me, bringing in others feels weird to me. Except for that one time I had a multi-lingual character who'd always slip into cursing in other languages during sex. That was a lot of fun. 😁

19. First fandom I wrote for?

I... have no idea. Maybe 'Saber Rider and the Star Sherrifs' or maybe 'Detective Conan'. Though in both cases, I didn't even realise something like 'fanfiction' existed, I was just writing for myself. Then I wrote half of a Divergent fic after reading a few others. The first fic I ever published was for HTTYD.

20. Favourite fic I've written?

I can absolutely not answer this question. Sure, I might like some of my fics better than others, but I also 'love' all of them. But generally, I think I like my longer fics the most. The entire 'I Should Go' series, NOOT, WIMTBC, and FTLOAP for HTTYD. WTWMOR for Miraculous. MtO and the Violiaden Series for Fourth Wing.

Ten Questions for Writers

I was tagged by @conkers-thecosy and now that I'm not rushing to get out updates I thought I would come back to do this! 🤩

Q1. how many works do you have on ao3?

Beneath the Oak Tree was my 58th work!

Q2. what's your total ao3 word count?

486,261

Q3. what fandoms do you write for?

Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Tintin is all that I've posted to AO3, but I'm looking to add a few more here come October.

Q4. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I do! I try to anyways. 😅 I'm a bit slow, but honestly I do enjoy getting a chance to thank people for reading my work and my favorite is when I get to spew all these behind-the-scenes facts.

Q5. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

Q6. have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes! I've done writer collabs with @thotinshield for our fics: What Happened in 30C and Secrets in the Blue Mountain Apartment. And another with @lordoftherazzles for our fic: They Stole My Heart (Along with the Rest of Him).

I actually love writer collabs! Looking forward to another this upcoming fall with the Hobbit: An Unexpected Collab event.

Q7. what's your all-time favorite ship?

I think anyone who has seen my AO3 page would understand it's Bagginshield. 😂

Q8. what are your writing strengths?

You know, I would have to say my sense of humor with my writing. I get compliments on it all the time, and seeing as there's literally not a single thing I write that doesn't have a smidge of humor (yes even smut and angst), that's what I'm going to have to go with. 😆

Q9. what are your writing weaknesses?

Bleh. These questions. Uhhhh, I don't feel like I do a good job of fleshing out a scene. I think sometimes I get very action driven or dialogue heavy and it's not until I go back later and read it that I realize it's very bare bones. So that's something I always have to work on.

Q10. first fandom you wrote for?

...Mario fandom, Daisy/Luigi. 🫣😂 Ah, yes. The early days of ff.net...🤣

Alright, let's see who to tag...@lucigoo @thotinshield @middleearthpixie @middleearthmama and @mordellestories but feel free to do it for yourself even if I didn't tag you! I love reading other people's answers.

[redheadspark]

hiii

so I had this really cute idea for you, not sure if you’re taking requests right now but feel feel to just ignore this or if you decide to do it than yay no rush!!

A Benedict Bridgerton x fem!reader where they had just been married recently and its her first christmas with the bridgerton’s and the reader is just feeling out of place because, shes never been to such a big family gathering and had so much love and kindness shown towards her, since shes had such bad experiences with her own family?!

Im horrible at explaining ideas but I hope you like this idea and decide to write it if not i still love and appreciate you ahah 😆💗

A/N: This is simply cute for our Benedict! Thanks for the request, bestie!

Me Too

Summary: Your first Christmas as a Bridgerton is a dream come true, even when you thought it was a dream.

Warnings: A hint of angst but mostly fluff!

“One more turn!  Come on!”

“Honestly, Colin!”

The while room was rilled with laughter, the warmth of the family gathering in the small parlor room was infectious with the twinkling lights of the tree next to the active fireplace and the glow of the lit candles and gentle lights on the walls.  Everyone was laughing, playing one of the infamous Bridgerton games around the coffee table the you and Benedict arrived, finally making it after having to travel through the snow that was starting to come down heavy.  Of course, being in the the snow and going very slow was already nerve wracking for you, and now you were going to spend your Christmas with your new family. 

It wasn’t that you hated your new family, you loved them actually.  When you and Benedict started dating, all of his siblings and his mother were beyond happy to meet you and get to know you.  They were a rambunctious bunch for certain, especially on the first night you came over for dinner, but you had the best time.  Each sibling acted like a sibling would with your boyfriend: teasing him with your behind his back and telling you some of the embarrassing stories just to make him blush and roll his eyes.  You loved it all, not to mention the warmth and kindness from Anthony’s wife Kate and Daphne’s husband Simon.  And of course, Benedict’s mother was beyond happy to get to know the very woman who stole Benedict’s heart.

They were the perfect family, and now you were a Bridgerton.

“Ah, we were waiting for you!” Daphne said in joy as you and Benedict walked in together hand in hand.  The rest of the group looked too, big grins on their faces while they rushed the pair of you at the opening of the room.  You were getting hug after hug, almost in a hint of shock from how quickly you were getting the love and affection from them.  But this was no surprise, they were always wonderful to you.  Even at the wedding, they made sure you were well taken care of and that you never had to lift a finger.  

It mostly came from your mother, whom was harboring bitter feelings or resentment against your father who divorced her a few years ago and was taking it out on you since you sided with him most of the time.  she hated that you wanted to be with your dad more, talking nasty about him when he wasn’t in the room or venting to you.  It was worst on your wedding day, merely because your mother-in-law graciously volunteered to pay for most of the event as her gift to you and Benedict. You loved your own family, you really did, but there was so much hurt and pain from past experiences with them that you were afraid that Benedict would not wish to be with you because of those blemishes.  Yet he stayed, loving your for all you are and taking care of you when you had your low moments with your mother or extended family members.  

“Give them space to breathe now, please!” Kate said to the others as she was the last one to hug you, you sighing in relief as she held you close.  The other drifted back to the parlor room, playing their game again to leave you, Benedict, Kate and Another to talk in the hallways.  Kate smile sweetly at you, “Come now, I think you two should get settled in and comfortable from that long drive, okay?  How did it go at your house?”

You looked from her over to Benedict, seeing him clear his throat uncomfortably and give Kate a small look.  Kate grimaced, looking back at you while you shuffled your feet a little bit.

“That bad?” She asked, you saying nothing but the silence was enough.  Anthony then took your arm in his and gestured to Kate and Benedict.

“Let’s take you to your room and you can tell us,” He reassured him, the four of you walking together down one of the smaller hallways that had to the guest rooms.  You had a wave of relief from the support you were getting from your new family, never one doubting you or pressing onto the topic more since the knee it hurt.  Kate and Anthony were smitten with you and Benedict being together, you and Kate working together at the same company when Kate setting you up with her brother in law.  The smug look on her face when you two made it official was clearly evident, she never did let it down.  

You made it to your ensuite, Benedict taking your bags in hand and placed them in the closet as you stripped off your coat to hang it.  Anthony and Kate sat on the bed, Anthony leaning back a bit as Kate was sitting up and ready to listen.

“What did your mother do now?” Anthony had to ask as you took off your boots carefully.

“The same as she always does: guilt trips me,” You replied in a huff, feeling the cool carpet beneath your bare feet and between your toes as Benedict moved over to kiss your cheek.

“She was bit more on edge tonight,” Benedict added as he walked with you over to the bed.  He sat against the headboard as you curled into him and rested your head on his shoulder while he went on, “We only went tonight to give our presents and to give our best wishes, but her mother wanted her to stay,”

“After what happened last year with you?” Kate asked with a hint of shock, “Is she serious?”

“She wants me to forget what happened and start fresh,” You murmured, your fingers tapping against one another as a nervous habit as you took in another breath, “I explained to her I couldn’t forget what she said to me, or what she said about my dad. I told her, again, that I wasn’t going to stay under the same room with her if she was still going to talk about my father and me like that.  But then….then she went after my marriage and called it a fraud,”

Your mother never saw the relationship with Benedict as something that was going to last.  Maybe he wasn’t happy that you two were in love, or that Benedict was treating you beyond gracefully and with kindness, but there was always some kind of resentment or hesitance for her to accept Benedict.  But perhaps it was also that you were more strong willed and willing to go against her, the hold she had on you when you were younger was loosening and loosing it’s strength as you got older.  

“I’m sorry,” Kate said to you carefully as Benedict hugged you a bit tighter from his spot on the bed, “She was never a fan of seeing you happy,”

“That’s putting it lightly,” Anthony grumbled from his spot near your feet, though Kate lightly slapped his arm. 

“We’re going to forget about all of that and focus on being here with the family, hon.  My mother has been looking forward to you being here for Christmas as an Official Bridgerton, and I think she made sure we had extras sweets for you to enjoy since she knows you like her cookies she would bake,” Benedict explained to you with a smirk, making your blush.

“She makes them perfectly,” you added, then sighing and rubbing your face, “You’re right: I’m gonna have a good time here and not worry about it,”

“That’s my girl,” Benedict said in a grin.

The rest of the night was beyond perfect.  You and Benedict got into more comfortable clothing once Kate and Anthony left you, finding the rest of the siblings and Violet Bridgerton in the parlor again to join them in decorating the parlor Christmas Tree.  Some of the ornaments were beyond old, lasting in the family for decades of end.  Whereas others were new, and one of the traditions was that each new married couple would get an ornament to hang on the tree.  Violet gave you the ornament she made for you and Benedict, letting you find a spot to hang on the tree.  

Once that was done, yhe youngest daughter Hyacinth coaxed you into baking and decorating more cookies in their massive kitchen.  The pair of you in shrieks and giggles while attempting to mix in the ingredients but some spilling on the countertop instead.  It was such a sight, sugar on your nose and flour on your cheeks.  But you were grinning wildly as the frosting was smeared on the fresh cookies.

Finally, after washing off the dough on your fingers and washing the spoons and knives, you were ending your first night in the living room, all of the family together and piled on the couch as you were watching It’s A Wonderfull Life.  Everyone was changed into their pajama’s Daphne and Simons little son in his adorable Onesie and fast asleep in his mother’s arms while the rest of the family watched the classic film.

You were on a loveseat with Benedict, both of you snuggled within each other’s arms with one of the throw blankets over your legs.  You took a moment to look at the scene in front of you: the tv with a glow from the movie playing softly in the room, the fireplace still active with fresh logs on the fire, and everyone begin so close together and blissfully happy.  

In your mind, this was what you wanted at your own home, with your own mother and father. You wanted to have this kind of Christmas with them, with no fighting and or yelling across the room.  Decorating the tree together, having your own cookies to make, seeing a movie together on the couch.  You wanted all of that.

And now that you have it, it made your start to cry.

“Hey, you okay?” Benedict asked you as he saw the fresh tears on your face.  It was the scene where Jimmy’s Stewart’s character proclaimed his love, promising to give the moon.  You grinned, though tears were on your chin now as you looked over at your husband.  He watched in concern, holding you a bit tighter as you just grinned.

“I’m beyond happy,” You replied in a whisper, not wishing to interrupt the movie for the others.  Benedtct smiled, seeing that you were happy and that tears were just a side effect on it.  He loved making you happy, doing anything in his power to bring a smile on your face and never let it fade.  No matter how many times he wished to scold and yell at your mother for making your cry or scream, he never did.  Because he knew you would never want him o do just a thing.  So all he could do was love you and make sure you felt that love everyday you woke up and every night you fell asleep.  

“Me too,” he hummed back, stroking away the tears on your face with his thumbs before you two watching some more of the movie.  Yes, you were blissfully happy.

Happy with your new family. 

The End

[vendetta-if]

I was so sure I would romance Ash, because well, I really love our soft hot-headed Ash. And Rin didn't interest me that much, neither did Skylar (although they both might if we get to know them better later on, but you know)

BUT THEN, THEN Santana came into the story and let me tell you I was NOT PREPARED for them to be so.... just so. but I like them VERY MUCH so I guess I will have to make two MC to romance both Ash and Santana because they both stole my heart.

That Is all, just wanted you to know how much I love those two. Please keep up the good work I love the story so far ❤️❤️

Another one falls to Santana’s exhausted charm 😩 I was a bit worried that Santana would get eclipsed by the other ROs considering Santana might be the most normal and temperate out of all the ROs 😆 But it seems my worries are unwarranted after all ☺️ I’m glad you guys are loving them as well! ❤️

[vintagelacerosette]

So uhh I made our boys with the pastel aesthetic but Mick is more of a pastel goth. Also riffing off my fave headcanon that I was bouncing ideas with the always sensational Paola @mishervellous 💖

Where Mickey is a secret cardcaptor fan bc he was forced to watch it with Mandy 😆 Mickey got the cardcaptor wand from from Ian after he got him the clow cards as a present 💝 lol & maybe he stole the pendant from Mandy.

While Ian has his pastel cottagecore aesthetic in his heart overalls getting ready to pick his tomatoes 🍅❤️

My School President Ep 6 Stray Thoughts

Y'all, I just know I'm about to put on my clown makeup, so let me just go ahead and get it ready.

Last time, a jaded school counselor doused the naive optimism of a bunch of high school seniors, and inflicted massive doubt on Chinzilla. They took some time to reevaluate, and Tinn spent the episode helping rebuild Gun's self-confidence. Gun's mom collapsed at work, and he briefly considered giving up his dreams on music, before everyone came together in a lovely musical number. Finally, Tinn all-but-confessed his feelings to Gun, and I'm hoping I won't have to put on my makeup.

🤡 Gun doesn't know who Tinn has a crush on, and wants to play matchmaker. 🤡

BL shirt messaging of the day: "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Oh no, Tinn is back to his fantasies and now they're harsh.

He put Gun in his phone as "Chinzilla Baby." I can't.

Both of them in this angsty spiral are going to demolish me. It's very high school and appropriate, and at least endearing because they like each other. Still, I want to mash their faces together. Where is Tiwson?

I'm with Por. Just Being Friendly is a banger.

🤡 Is Gun only just now connecting the dots about everything Tinn has been doing, including the pinky touch? We thought he maybe liked Tinn this whole time and we were wrong lol. 🤡

Alright, real shit. If you grab my neck like Tinn did here, we better kiss immediately.

Of course this is Tinn's favorite song. You're my favorite simp, baby boy. You and Vincent Liang eat at the same table.

"Don't mind a nosy boy like me." Thank you for showing up to save these clowns, Tiwson.

I will say, as a former educator, I'm a strong advocate for peer mediation. So, I'm really enjoying Tiwson stepping in to manage this MV project after Sound and Win started fighting so hard they kicked off their shoes.

That's right, Tiwson, ship to your heart's content. "Good job, BL."

The Tiw and Tinn friendship is a lot of fun.

Tinn is flustered at the first question? Baby boy, please.

I'm so glad Tiwson is taking his role as director seriously, and now I want to try these noodles.

Mark is genuinely funny. He and the noodle shop owner made me actually laugh.

The interesting thing out of the badminton scene is that Win doesn't lord over Sound something he can do that he can't. Instead, he genuinely tries to teach him. Sure, he gets frustrated and yells at Sound, and it shows that Sound struggles with being seen as incompetent, especially when he's being berated about it.

I like the fantasy sequence of them laying on the bed together answering these questions.

Car violence continues to play a role in these shows. Determined to build a future where our transportation modes aren't so hazardous.

Fourth and Gemini played the emotional shifts of that bed scene really well.

Sound doesn't like to lose or be bad at things. He clearly practiced for a long time. Win also gives praise easily.

I don't know why Tiwson is dressed like this, but I am thankful.

😂 Yo is too big to just be fainting like that.

"Cut! We got it!" I'm dying 😆

Love the era we're in where the boys fight over who likes who.

Okay, I really love that everyone got life from that medal kiss, and now these two caught feelings.

The music cues in this umbrella scene are timed so well. I am leaning in so hard with the tension.

"Got it, friend." "See you, friend." Why am I being crushed?

Excellent use of comedy after that scene. Gentle reminder of the kind of story we're in.

Gun going for a repeat on wiping his lips, eh?

Tinn and Tiw were not prepared for Gun's improvised kiss.

Oh, I had to pause. Usually Tinn likes when Gun grabs his chin, but he threw him off this time.

Finally, mutual open admission of the attraction. Good use of the friend zone graphic.

Oh lord we are at Church's Texas Chicken.

Tiwson knows his audience. "You are allowed to eat and watch."

I'm back in my The Way He Looks era and thinking about Gabriel asking, "If you stole a kiss, how would you give it back?"

I am always taken out by these boys flirting over chicken.

Okay, but do I get to see the music video???

Secret dating next week? Be still, my heart.

YES, WE GET THE MUSIC VIDEO!

[strangerthings4theories]

Okay okay I can't help it. Some initial complaints.

I am... underwhelmed? Lots of things really, but mostly just that. I understand we still have four hours of content coming our way, and it's possible the finale will help me feel retroactively better about the buildup. But for now I'm just... not a fan.

1. The Duffers tried to do too much in one season, imo. It gets stretched pretty thin in places, with established characters fading into the background so minor characters can have their moment. A couple of them stole my heart (Chrissy 😭) but I don't really care about most of them, so it's hard to get invested.

2. The Russia plotline put me to sleep tbh 😆 So far they've played it straight as a prison break story. I don't watch ST for prison breaks, I watch for supernatural and/or creepy sci-fi goodness. Which was completely missing from the story until the Demogorgon showed up. And even then... the reveal was boring! We are all used to Demogorgons by now! Why the hell would you build up the monster reveal, only to bring out another Demogorgon?? Give me a mutated version at least. Or a small army. Anything except "oh it's the Demogorgon, just in an arena this time! 😘"

I would've cut like half of the Russia story ngl. Or you know, done something completely different for added spice. (If you know my theories, you know)

3. Oh and don't get me started on the way Hopper survived the end of S3. The rift was right there, and you're gonna have him just... fall to the floor where Joyce can't see him? That's just dumb, sorry 😆 Give me Hopper diving through the rift in the nick of time, stumbling through the Upside Down, and finding a way out, only to fall into the hands of the Russians. Like, come on now.

4. I was really thrown off by the suddenness of Brenner's return, with no explanation (yet) for how he survived S1 and where he's been all this time. Yeah I get it, he has a scar on his face now. But that's not satisfying to me at all.

Billy's continued absence is painful to me of course. But even now I can't believe the Duffers would drop all the work they put into him, so I'm holding on for Pt 2. Also, I've already noticed a few possible clues that raise my eyebrows.

There were lots of good things about the season, so I'll follow up with a post about those. Right now though, I'm damn grumpy 😆

[thebooktopus]

@phd-mama I was planning on saving this until the last day of May to post but I just saw your anon and wanted to send all my love your way. This IS an incredible project and undertaking and deserve nothing but love for putting it together. Onto my original post...

I hope it's alright that I stole your banner to lift YOU! you've been spreading so much joy and kindness this month that I felt it was only fair to repay the favor. 💖 I've been reading everyone's reactions and there's been this resounding "I needed this" response to everything you've been doing. I think we forget that we're still living in this darkest timeline version of events, and it's people like you and communities like ours that make every day a little more bearable. thank you for your posts and dedication to kindness this month (and always, you sweet soul)!!

if you haven't read phdmama's fics, you are missing out. I've had this fic in particular on my TBR since it came out and this was such a perfect excuse to read it!! I'm talking about Watch Out (here I come) (Drarry // E // 4K). I knew going in that I was going to really enjoy this, mostly due to the "facials" tag that was quickly followed up by the "but loving and romantic" tag, which is always what I'm looking for in a facial. 😆

she totally nails these two (lol I'm leaving it) - hothead Harry picking fights with Draco at the holiday party and then shutting himself down when Hermione's voice rings in his head. storming off, waiting to be found. wanting to mess Draco and his hair up- YES. the way she packs their confessions in - both a little guarded but so honest and sweet just makes my heart so happy.

phdmama's smut is always on point- it's sweet and smouldering all at once, which is my favorite kind, personally. I love the enthusiastic consent, how INTO IT they both are always makes it hotter. go, give it a read. you'll enjoy gems like those one:

Draco kisses like he does everything, controlled on the surface and wild underneath, you just have to dig a little.

[sgcairo]

I‘ve lil question! Do u mind showing/telling more about the other clones feelings. For some reason I feel like they have lil strange feeling in their hearts when they see pantalone being parental w babyttore! Not necessarily envious just like “this is out of our system” or “what’s happening inside my heart?” Kind of thing! I also have a hc about babyttore is usually w 12 y.o clone. And also the eldest clone who’s respected by everyone! I’m rambling a lot hehe 😆 I just like how cruel mond clone is but I’m sure he felt a little out of system or like ERROR ERROR.

Aight, it's big brain time.

So the clones aren't really sure what to make of Pantalone taking in what would be considered one of them. Just like Dottore really can't fathom why Pantalone would ever treat him with anything other than distaste, they're all confused on how Babytorre managed to make a truly selfish Harbinger into a doting and loving parent. From their understanding of Pantalone, he has two primary goals:

1. Become as rich as possible.

2. Make Snezhnaya the economic center of Teyvat.

By this formula, he should not hold an ounce of care for anything else, let alone a creation of the man he seemingly despises the most.

Turns out, it's an oversight on their part, and Pantalone changes his mind slightly about Dottore after meeting his "baby" self. Not to mention that their rivalry never really went beyond annoying each other and occasionally getting a bit physical over disputes, it was never outright attempted murder.

When seeing Pantalone be parental in particular, it inspires a sort of melancholy within many of them. Why only him? Why not them? None of them will ever admit to it, but it also does melt their hearts slightly to see their younger self being treated with care and love, as he deserves. Many of them don't even consider him a clone anymore, but instead the actual son of Dottore, given how he is treated not only among the Harbingers, but also by his "parents".

As for the twelve year old clone, there are no younger clones (less than older twenties physically) that have survived as of yet. Most of them die within the day, the longest recorded surviving teenage clone lived for two days in perpetual agony (as mentioned in the second part of my clone headcanons, there are more details there).

The youngest clone other than Babytorre to date is known as Earl, or Primary Segment VII. Physically 19, according to Prime's calculations, and is usually isolated due to the ongoing experiments regarding a successful superhuman. Irnes (our older brother clone) occasionally swings by and brings Babytorre, so the two are somewhat familiar, and Babytorre occasionally visits him alone. How this is permitted? Babytorre is the master of bribery and cuteness overload. The guards were swayed, but also Babytorre had a knife. I'm not joking, he stole one of Pantalone's knives right out from under him. How? By hugging him and slipping it into his sleeve. He learns fast, let's just say. The guards were allowed to confiscate it in exchange for a brief visit with Earl.

As for the "oldest" clone, there isn't an known official clone, as they came in batches after the first test. There's a group, but their whereabouts are unknown as of yet. But Irnes was a part of one of the earlier batches himself, technically generation IX. For reference, there have been dozens of generations since then, many botched or failed. There are few clones still in the lab that were before or in his generation, due to the deterioration of their bodies over time, so he holds the title as the honorary "older brother".

On that point, what happens to the clones after they reach a certain deterioration or general age? No one's sure. No one dares ask.

And yes, the Mondstadt clone is quite cruel, but it's generally within clone nature to display apathy or lack of regard for other lives generally. The degree is heavily dependent on their jobs and outside factors, but I think he's just used to getting what he wants and doing as he pleases. I don't think he feels particularly outside of their ranks, he just feels slightly superior as he was selected by Prime for an important mission.

Anyways, hopefully that answers all the questions! Thank you so much for the ask, I had a lot of fun fleshing this out!

Louis Tomlinson • World Tour 2022 • Cologne

03.04.2022

Beautifull kick-off when the Cologne fans have just put out a project with all these signs for Louis from the very beginning! Louis is wearing a black total look, he has pulled off perfectly some more times over this tour.

The man is wearing again Burberry with that TB logo that stole our hearts back when MP screenings were going on. The night Harry hinted about freedom

The fo'hkin' band is truly amazing... this can be perceived as a random thought but... WOW FEARLESS my friend!

I have highlighted before how Louis is constantly engaging with the fans, winking, giving thumbs up, pointing... he even gets involved those in the back at the sides... such as he did today during Habit. Little details make a bigger difference.

Louis said he "was feeling a little bit under the weather before I came out today but you’ve just brought me back to life" I can feel how the crowd is being awesome! Singing No Control in the breaks btw.

He is so sweet. ( while I wrote this he just flipped off someone 😆)

As an anecdote, he found a phone on stage and he threw it back... ofc and he jumped at the pit another night & among fireworks!

Exit song: Stand by me - Ben E. King

[gallavichthings]

This week, @thevioletjones gets to have a candid discussion with the lovely and talented Karen aka @palepinkgoat aka pink_ink (on AO3), author of fandom classics like Restoration, Life, or Something, Reveal, and Proof.

Violet_Jones: I'm really excited to be doing this with you, because I legit always put you among my list of top 5 writers in the fandom. I think Restoration was among the first fics I followed while it was still a WIP, and it was an instant favorite. :))

Pink_Ink: Aw you are so so nice!! I hope I don’t disappoint lol

VJ: Lol. You won't. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Whatever you'd like the fandom to know. Can be large or small. Even abstract. Lol

PI: Oh gosh! My name is Karen and I live in Atlanta. I’m originally from the Midwest but I’ve lived here for 10 years. I have two kids and a husband and a cat and a house. I’m currently working on getting into a program that would teach me how to be a mental health counselor. I’m really hoping that works out because mental health advocacy is a big passion of mine. If I’m not writing I like reading and food gardening. I’ve been writing all my life and it brings me a lot of joy. I’m so grateful to have Gallavich for an outlet!

VJ: That's awesome. Counselors are vital, and it's important work. Good luck with your program!

I've been writing since I was a kid too. I had an amazing 1st grade teacher that I always remember as my initial inspiration and encourager. Did you have an early mentor like that?

PI: Yes! Mine was my 8th grade English teacher Ms. Topp. She would write such encouraging things on my stories. She was a badass, too. She rode a motorcycle! At the time I was being bullied a lot, so having her as a safe place was a godsend. At the end of the year she wrote me a card and told me to keep writing. I still have it.

VJ: Omg, that's awesome. Miss Ottavianni in Miami was this hippie, cool surfer chick. Our class adopted manatees, had pet guinea pigs, did environmental clean-ups, etc. She put me in fairs and competitions and I had a halloween story published in the paper. It's crazy how one great teacher can really affect you and leave a lasting impression.

PI: That’s amazing!!! She sounds so cool too.

VJ: When it comes to fanfiction, when did you first read it and when did you start writing it? (For any fandom.)

PI: I first started reading fanfiction in 2014. Shameless is actually the first fandom fanfiction I ever read. I wrote my first fic later in 2014.

VJ: Oh wow. Is that right when you discovered the show, or had you watched it for a while first?

PI: I started watching at the end of 2013, just before season 4 started.

VJ: What made you ship Ian and Mickey?

PI: I was bed-bound after a freak accident and had lots of surgery, etc. YouTube showed me the kiss in the van and immediately I was like “I need this in my life.” I ended up buying the seasons on Amazon prime and that’s basically all I watched for months 😆

VJ: Just the van kiss? That's so cute! Lol. I'm sorry you had to go through that, though.

What was it that inspired you to start writing fanfic?

PI: I started to ship them because the chemistry and dynamic was so magnetic. I had also never seen a gay relationship—or any relationship really—portrayed in such a raw and captivating way. It sounds so dramatic kind of, especially given the slim screen time the first three seasons, but they stole my heart.

Yeah YouTube showed me the wedding kiss [from season 3] next and I was like WHAT IS THIS WHAT IS GOING ON

I hadn’t written anything in years. I don’t know if it was being busy with kids or what, but I just didn’t have the brain space or something. But I got inspired reading fanfiction and was like “Maybe I should give this a shot and see what happens.” It made me fall in love with writing again.

VJ: Man, me too. In terms of not writing anything in years, and then suddenly wanting to after reading fic. Funny how that happens. Lol. And fortunate!

PI: Yes!

VJ: What's the story behind your fandom usernames (on AO3 and here)?

PI: Oh lord, it’s so nerdy but my tumblr name palepinkgoat is a twist on that yodeling song from The Sound of Music. They are doing a puppet show and it’s simultaneously about a girl’s pale pink coat and goats so I combined them. It’s one of my favorite movies. See? Nerdy.

Pink Ink was just to tie the pink and I liked the easy rhyme. I like the way it looks written down.

VJ: That's hilariously unexpected. Julie Andrews was important to me when I was a kid too. That and Mary Poppins and Victor/Victoria were big for me growing up.

Pink Ink really does have a nice ring to it.

PI: Mary Poppins is amazing. Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke have amazing chemistry too.

VJ: What's the most fun or interesting thing about writing Ian & Mickey?

PI: With the exception of a few early stories, I write from Ian’s point of view. He’s always been such a hopeless romantic, and his longing for Mickey is palpable. It’s fun to write that. I can also relate to his mental illness. Exploring that is interesting to me.

Mickey’s way of speaking is so funny and perfect and it can be challenging but fun to try and nail that down.

They are both so specifically different yet somehow similar, and that makes for such an engaging dynamic that I want to try and capture as much as possible.

VJ: I agree they have a great dynamic. That's definitely what drew people to their relationship. It's so unique in the tv/film fictional landscape.

I also relate to Ian's struggles with mental illness, but I tend to stray away from making his bipolar a big part of my stories, mainly because I feel like other people have done it way better, and it doesn't have to affect every universe? But I do like to give him elements of depression and anxiety, maybe because that's my thing.

In Restoration, and other fics you've written, you've explored some of the darker aspects of mental health lows. Can you talk a little bit about what writing about those issues means to you? And what's important about getting right.

PI: I’m bipolar, like Ian. Bipolar gets a reputation for presenting either deeply low or extremely high. In truth, there is a curve. I once pointed out the existence of mixed states, which are kind of like depression and mania colliding in the middle. Energized depression, or dark energy. It is sadly a time when bipolar people are more at risk for injuring themselves or having suicidal urges. I brought that up in a story because not a lot of people know about that type of episode, even though a LOT of bipolar people really struggle with it.

Another thing I included was self-injury, specifically cutting and burning. Ian doesn’t actually cut himself in Restoration, but he gets really close, and having that moment in limbo can be a scary one. I wanted to show that moment where it all slows down, because halting that train can be difficult. I wanted to show that sometimes you can be triggered but not hurt yourself. That element of growth.

He also feels shame about his scars. Revealing that shame with Mickey and being accepted for who and what he is was important for me to explore. Not every element of mental health is cleanly diagramed and the same for everyone. I do have an self-injury history and although I accept myself, I know it can be a really big deal to let someone see behind the curtain, physically and emotionally.

Writing about mental health is a great way to be honest about stigma and also can help educate. Research is very important, as is sensitivity. There are other bipolar writers and readers who can help be a resource. My door is always open.

VJ: Thank you for being so candid about it. That's very true that it can be portrayed fictionally as being very cut and dry or black and white, and I understand that writing the nuance of it is key. I think it's interesting that so many people gravitate towards fic that is cathartic for them on these topics. Like, maybe there's no other safer space to do it? And there's a slight anonymity to it.

PI: Oh, absolutely. There’s an understanding. The people who have written to me share all sorts of things they connected with. Listening to each other’s stories helps us see ourselves better.

VJ: That's a great way of looking at it. I think you'll make a good counselor. ;))

Walk us through what your writing process looks like, if you will.

PI: Aw thank you! I hope so!

I often have the last line in mind when I start, or the last image, so in a way I am working backwards to get there from here. Then I just start typing. This might sound weird or pretentious, but I almost feel like I get in a trance when I write, just letting my fingers walk around. I always listen to music in earbuds when I write. I have different mixes, and sometimes the same song three or four times in a row. I just get in my flow and go for it. Depending on the length of it, I won’t edit until I’ve written the whole thing or chapter. If I slow down too much, I start second guessing things and getting in my head. Writing for me is much more instinct than outlines, but I do have an idea where I want the story to go. Getting there is fun. 😊

VJ: Wow. I'm always impressed by good writers who don't outline, because if I don't write certain things down when I think of them, before I'm ready to write them, I will completely forget. Do you have even like some reference notes or anything? Some stray paper or notepad doc? Lol

PI: Nope! Sometimes I’ll write a scene out of order if I can’t wait, but mostly I just plow ahead. The only exception is Reveal, which I made a few notes for later on. That was still mostly in my head, though.

VJ: I understand what you mean about flow, and I do tend to do that with dialogue especially, but I guess I don't trust myself not to have guidance (from myself) about the overall path. Anyway, you're certainly not the only writer who doesn't outline, but I commend people who can do that.

Do you research a lot, or at all?

PI: Oh, definitely. I learned a lot about construction during Restoration in particular. I watched a lot of YouTube videos! And read a home repair book my dad gave me for Christmas one year.

VJ: Lol. What about for Life, or Something? I'm sure I probably talked to you in the comments when I first read it, but was any of the inspiration for that from Six Feet Under?

PI: Oh yes! That one too! I actually was mostly inspired by my lifelong dream of being a funeral director or mortician. I’ve since moved on logistically, but I’m still very interested in death. I did take inspiration from Six Feet Under in the sense that I had siblings running it, but mostly it was just my own interest.

VJ: Interesting. Lol. You're just full of curve balls. 😂

Speaking of siblings, who are your favorite characters aside from Ian and Mickey? And who do you enjoy including in your fics?

PI: Haha!

I love Lip. I really do. He fucks up a lot, but he’s a great character. I actually struggle using the siblings. I loved writing Amanda into Restoration, and fleshing out Sully from the little we saw of him. I did like writing Fiona in Life, or Something. She was so controlling in her worry.

VJ: I honestly can never remember who the hell Sully is in canon. Lmao

What types of fics do you like writing the most, both in terms of length and genres or tropes?

PI: Just some random construction guy of Tommy’s who Lip works with for five seconds. 😂

I like writing longer fics for sure. I love ABO fics so I wrote one of those. I do have some canon ones but I liked writing AUs. Very freeing!

VJ: Yes. I'm a big proponent of AUs, obviously. Lol. As long as it still feels like a version of them, that's the best stuff for me.

What's your favorite Gallavich fic that you’ve written so far and why?

PI: I like Proof. It’s a Season 2 canon fic. I think season 2 is my favorite. It includes the time Frank catches them in the cooler and the aftermath.

VJ: I was actually perusing your Works page and made a mental note to re-read that, because I don't remember it.

Do you have a favorite episode from the entire run of the series?

PI: 4x11: Emily. The one where Mickey comes out. It’s such a great episode all around.

VJ: That's what I said. Lol. You and I have always felt simpatico when we touch base.

What’s your favorite Ian x Mickey scene?

PI: We totally are.

My favorite scene is them talking in the dugout, season 2.

VJ: Sigh. Yeah. They actually just had a normal conversation for once. Lol. That's one of the most frustrating things about what we've seen of them onscreen. The lack of little quiet moments, having so many conversations and events seem to happen offscreen, and so much of their story being ruled by hard dramatic experiences. Dugouts were carefree in a way they rarely got to be.

PI: It’s so true!

VJ: If you could go back and change one thing in canon, what would it be?

PI: It’s hard since every action leads to something else, but I think nothing is as terrible as Terry’s corrective rape and the horror inflicted on the two of them.

VJ: So true... yet, I wonder what other way it could've gone, tbh, in terms of Terry inevitably discovering them. That was always a matter of when. So as horrible as it was, how would it have played out differently? If you want to indulge. Lol

PI: Oh Jesus I have no idea. It would have been terrible and violent no matter what. I just have a hard time moving beyond that when I think of canon changes.

VJ: Yeah. It's a tough turning point. I'm sure someone has written those fics though! And I'm sure I've read some. Lol

What are your favorite fic tropes as a reader?

PI: I’m not sure! I don’t know if I have favorites. I love ABO, and I’ve enjoyed Enemies to Lovers. But really if it’s a great story, I love it all. Maybe that’s a cop out but it’s the truth!

VJ: That's fair. How about fanfic pet peeves?

PI: You know what? This is the only thing I can think of. It’s when people refer to the cooler in the Kash and Grab as a freezer. It’s a refrigerator. Hence the rattling beer bottles and milk containers and Gatorade around them. Maybe I’ve just worked in too many commercial kitchens! In walk-in freezers you can hardly breathe or touch anything let alone take clothes off. Such a small thing, but I always notice it.

VJ: Bahahaha... that's either very sweet of you or very diplomatic of you.

What are some of your favorite fics and/or writers in the fandom?

PI: I love anomalously - Britt was one of my first loves. Loftec. BeckyHarvey29, Mellow_Yellow. Grayola. My favorite new author is Chat Noir. She’s absolutely incredible! “Is There Somewhere” by andchaos. “Starlight” by anythingbutgrief. “La Vie En Rose” by anothergallavichlove. “Casanova Catering Conflict” by horror_business. I could go on. So many great writers.

VJ: Do you think you might write more IxM fic, or is that door closed?

PI: I go back and forth. I thought Restoration was my swan song and it wasn’t. I have two ideas I might use for Ian and Mickey, but we’ll see. I don’t see myself writing for another fandom.

VJ: Last question! Now that Shameless has canonically ended, do you have any fandom memories you'd like to share, or any parting message?

PI: The creativity in this fandom is astounding. Fanfic, videos, gifsets, aesthetic sets, it’s just unreal. I’ve made some really good friends via Shameless. It sounds dramatic, but the show saved my life. I found it at my darkest point and it really helped me find my way out of it. I’m forever grateful for everyone I’ve met and everyone who has ever read my fics. You truly don’t know how much it has meant to me. Thank you.

VJ: Thank you for everything you've given us. 🙂

PI: My pleasure ❤️

Hey🤗!! I was just reading your works and omgggg they're just so good😆, if you don't mind could I have a 10 or 20 for jean from ikevamp? It's your choice😁

I’m sorry this came out so angsty! Jean stole my one braincell and ran off with it I guess??? Still I hope you enjoy!

Pairing: Jean/MC Rating: E Content: angst, creampie, talk about trying to get pregnant

He kissed her long and slow, thrusts gentle and steady into her body as he held her close. 

It wasn’t to tease her - though he’d come to learn she enjoyed it - and it wasn’t to tease himself. His mind was still blown from their discussion not more than a few days ago.

He doubted himself. Could she truly want his child? What if his child inherited every flaw, every terrible thing about him - and there were many. Many he thought he’d overcome and yet they came slithering back like treacherous snakes. 

Jean drew back from the kiss and nuzzled against her neck as if to block out those thoughts. There was just her and him. He couldn’t doubt her, no matter how much he might doubt himself. He did want a child - he knew that in his heart of hearts.

It still terrified him. 

Her fingers tangled in her hair, stroking softly. “Are you ok, Jean?”

He stilled in her embrace, still buried inside her. Jean kissed her cheek and let out a breath. “I’m worried about my part, I want our child, but what if they’re like me.” 

Her delicate hands cupped his face and he closed his eyes at the rush of warmth that confused him. “What you mean kind, dependable, loyal? Adorable?” 

A blush flared to his cheek at her last adjective and his eyes opened as he stuttered her name. She giggled and a jolt shot through him as the doubt chipped away once more. “I - I’m not adorable.” 

“That’s exactly what an adorable person would say.” 

He huffed and rolled his hips, leaving her just as flustered as he was. 

“Jean, I want a child with you. No-one else. I know you’ll be wonderful and careful and loving but when you feel like you can’t be those things and it becomes too much then I’ll be there. Parents share the responsibility - you won’t be alone.”

She pulled him down for a kiss and he went to her willingly, hips shifting again and feeling her press closer to claim all of him she could. “I know, thank you,” he murmured in the brief pause before their lips met again. 

He felt her squeeze around him, encouraging him to give her what they both wanted. Jean spilt into her with a soft cry filling her up with all he had and offering a silent prayer that everything would turn out wonderfully.

Just one more time.

I-i can't live with that! So off with ur head lil hypocrite police officer man!)

....sorry that's another paragraph......... I'll uh I'll stop now.... heheh... Sorry again if this bothers you, i won't send it again if it is.... :')

Okay! Have a good day/night/life dear author <3! Here have a 🍰🍩🎠 to light up ur time! Adios~

Aww thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 And don’t worry! I love reading these little snippets of comments on sections of the demo! 😁

Ash is only sweet for MC and Luka for now, of course ☺️ They’re mostly prickly and abrasive towards other people 😆

And yes 😭 Viktor… He’s such a good and loving dad 🥺 In case you haven’t read it yet, I recently released one of the Patreon side stories for public in celebration of hitting the 2K followers here! Here’s the link to the story! It’s a wholesome and fluffy side story, so hopefully it’ll help you recover from the angst 😆 I also have another 2-part side story from Viktor’s POV on my Patreon 😄

Please forgive Takashi, he’s just still a bit heartbroken about Viktor 😔 He’s usually a (pretty deadly and ruthless) himbo 😄 And glad you’re loving Luka as well 😂 He sometimes takes too much liberty with his teleporting/blinking ability 😆

It is indeed hard to not get charmed by Rin 😩 You might not have to choose between Ash and Rin 😉 (And yes guys, Ash and Rin poly is currently planned although might not get implemented right away yet since I’ll need some additional planning to accommodate it).

And yes, gotta make MC fight with style, you know? 😂 Gotta be cool and all, like Luka. Also, I’m a bit touched that your MC agreed to kill 5 people to make Grandpa and Luka proud 🥺 They would most certainly be happy to hear about it later on 😉

🤣 Luka agrees with your sentiment that it’s enough detail about his sex life for the entirety of MC’s life 😆

Ooh this is the second time I’ve seen someone wanting to let the killer live but not out of compassion and forgiveness, but to make them suffer even more 🤔 Interesting…

And wholesome family dynamics is just my weakness 😭 I have to include it in my first ever IF.

MC’s close bonds with Luka and Ash and Grandpa might be one of the little things left that MC really holds on to after the death of their dad, their mother figure (Cara), and their grandma. And loyalty to their remaining family is one of the core cornerstones that all MCs will share with one another no matter what.

I’ve always seen close family bonds between the Morozovs to be one of their most defining characteristics and strengths (and also weakness at the same time).

It’s the reason that Viktor couldn’t cleanly leave his past behind and sever Luka and Cara completely out of his (and MC’s) life after he ran away.

But at the same time, it’s also the reason MC survives the attack and is able to grow up to become the person they are today, loved, cared for, sheltered, and protected from the harsh underground world by combined efforts from Grandpa, Luka, and Ash.

This will also be the reason that Vigilante and Superhero MC won’t be able to turn against their own family. And the reason Luka and Grandpa and Ash wouldn’t leave MC behind and abandon them even when they chose those paths for themself.

[avanatural]

THE FEELS! 💗😭💘 Gosh, Wayne, what a read! 👏😍✨

Spoilers below the cut! 😉

It’s a night like any other as Y/N closes down her flower shop in the small coastal town.

She owns a flower shop! 😊💐 Is it me, or is there something inherently romantic about that? 💗

“I’m fine,” Sam nonchalantly shrugs next to him in a fucking t-shirt. He removed the flannel an hour ago and discarded it on the backseat.

“Yeah, ‘cause you’re not human. Freak,” Dean scoffs under his breath and shakes his head, making the younger Winchester chuckle.

Haha, love me some Winchester banter! 😂😆 Seriously, though, as someone who is always cold, I can totally feel Dean with this one 🥶😅

We could be at home in the bunker, slurping egg nog and watching Die Hard instead of freezing our asses off.

Oh yess, sign me up!!! 😍❤️

“What’s the address of the girl that witnessed the last death again?”

“Uh, Y/N Y/L/N. Lives at 302 Maplewood Street,” Sam reads from the neatly organized files in his lap.

It’s her!!! Poor Y/N 😟 I can’t wait for Dean to meet her! 💓💓💓

No matter how hard he rummages through the depths of his soul, the hunter can’t quite pin down his recent moodiness. It’s a feeling of dread, sadness, and anger that just bubbles up in his chest at random times and overtakes his whole body and mind before it disintegrates into thin air again like the ghosts he hunts. And maybe after all this time and all the wars and all the pain, it should be no surprise that he feels a little haunted, too.

This paragraph right here! 👆So sad and beautiful and so true to Dean! 🥺❤️

Hi, Dean Winchester – professional life-ruiner, cold-blooded killer, and ghostbuster extraordinaire. Pleased to meet you. May I interest you in something horrifying that most likely will cost your life or at least give you intense nightmares you never wished you had?

Sounds like a good introduction to me 😆😂🙈

And for the first time in what feels like forever, which for sure as hell is too long, his lips unfreeze and curl into a genuine smile, warmth filling and replacing the empty coldness in his ribcage that has dwelled there for a lifetime.

I’ve never read a more heartwarming description of love at first sight 🥺💖🍭 So fitting to the winter theme, too! ❤️

So, she takes midnight walks up and down the beach until the phone rings again and soothes the ache in her chest. The impossibility of wanting him right next to her each and every day until her dying breath rips her apart at the seams sometimes, her heart needing more stitches than it should.

My poor heart!!! 😭💘 There’s so much love dripping from every word ❤️❤️❤️ It must be hell waiting to hear from him, knowing that one day she might not 🥺💔

Dean heroically saved her life. Then, she moronically saved his and Sam’s.

Why can I identify with this so much?? Probably because I’m one clumsy human and imagining myself in any type of hunting scenario definitely includes the term "moronically" 😂😂 I love the contrast here! 👏😊💗

The older hunter yelled at her until he didn’t. Until she kissed him. Until she clasped his freezing palm and led him to the beach. Until she held him till his breathing calmed with the ocean, and they talked till the morning sun came with the first fall of snow.

She hasn’t been the same ever since that night. Neither has he.

This is exactly the kind of love that Dean deserves! 🥺❤️

“Yeah, I’m down at the beach like usual,” she sighs, drawing a pouting line in the sand with the tip of her shoe.

I’m obsessed with the term “pouting line.” I know I’ve said this many times, but your way of describing your scenes never fails to amaze me 👏👏👏 The imagery is wonderful and you switch it up constantly 😊👍🥰

“Wait… How do you know that? Did you check the weather?”

“Sure did,” it sounds behind her as clear as the star-filled sky above her. Her heart drops, jolts, rejoices at the sight of the hunter that so shamelessly stole it as he stands before her – tall, strong, and gorgeous smile included, like a scene from a romantic movie.

Ahhhhhh, he’s there!!!! 😍🥰💖 My heart just did the same thing as hers! 💘💘💘 It's really like a scene from a romantic movie! The kind of scene you just can’t help but smile at 🥰😊

A blazing warmth spreads through his chest, his chapped lips not able to deny her a smile, albeit his torn heart and broken mind still don’t fully understand how a gorgeous girl like her could even miss him at all.

Dean, nooo! No self-doubts, please! 🥺❤️ This makes the scene so bittersweet 💔💔💔

“Air,” Dean chokes out with a chuckling cough as he pulls back from her, his hot breath still ghosting over her swollen lips as his palms grip her waist tightly and keep her locked in his arms.

Haha, looks like she was about to kiss the life out of him 😂😘 These two are so adorable 😍😍😍 This little humorous moment makes the scene feel all the more real 🥰❤️👏

“Yeah, well, couldn’t wait a whole day’s drive to see you, so I flew here,” he shrugs coolly but can’t help the grin rising on his cheeks.

“I’m sorry, you what? You took an actual plane? But you hate flying,” she points out with an adorably knitted brow.

He flew. He FLEW. DEAN WINCHESTER took a PLANE to see her. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s love right there 😍😍😍 This is the sweetest twist I’ve ever seen 😭❤️👏

It gnawed on his heart that he never said it back. Because she deserves to hear it. Because living and breathing without her seem useless. Because having hopes and dreams is worthless if she’s not in any of them.

This makes me so happy and sad at the same time 🙈💗🥺 I can feel Dean’s pain from your descriptions 💔 It must have been tough for him to be away from her 😭💔 God, she’s such a perfect match for him 🥰😍

Perhaps, love is not supposed to feel real. It’s intangible, indescribable, and inexplicable, and if you applied all the criteria of reality, love shouldn’t exist at all. But as the first snowflake grazes his cheek, he opens his eyes and watches more white stars falling from the sky and covering the sandy beach under a soft blanket. And suddenly, love comes down all around him like the snow itself.

It’s not some weird, beautiful, unobtainable, and unmaintainable dream. It’s here. It’s now. And it’s her.

“I love you.”

I have no words for how perfectly you just described love ❤️❤️🥺👏👏

He stumps, his eyebrows quirking together so much it almost provokes a headache, which causes her to giggle. “How?”

Oh, Dean 😁 I feel like it’s so typical for him to be oozing with gestures of love and then be like “But how did you know how I feel?” 😂❤️

“Sweetheart, you know what happens when you kiss me like that.” Well, maybe he still had one clever comeback in reserve.

Oh, I don’t think she minds 😏😏😏

“Well, uh…” He clears the lump in his throat, and she must’ve noticed his nervousness, because not even a second later, she interlaces her fingers with his and gives him the reassurance he needs to continue. “For-, uhm, forever.”

Forever! He’s not leaving again 😍😍😍 Wayne, you went in for the kill and didn’t miss! You’re making me all emotional here 😭💖

This is so fluffy, beautiful, cute, romantic, and heartwarming ❤️❤️❤️ Such a sweet and somewhat angsty story, I feel like I need to go see a dentist after all the fluff you provided my poor little heart with! 🍭🍬🍫🍦 I can’t praise you enough for this masterpiece 👏👏👏 It was such a joy to read! 💗 I’m glad you didn’t kill her, even though I know exactly I would have loved it either way ❤️ Bravo, bestie! 🙌🥰

Summary: A few moons ago, on a hunt like any other, Dean unexpectedly met a girl who not only spun his head around in the blink of a literal eye but also made the brave hunter face some of his biggest fears to date.

Warnings: light language (very tame for me), a bit of emotional angst & grumpy Dean, fluff ❄️

Word Count: 3.1k

A/N: Another day, another fic to a Swift song 🙃 The first draft had a very dark, unhappy ending, but I couldn’t bring myself to hurt those two precious babes, so enjoy some pure fluff, my loves! 💚🌌 Inspired by: Snow On The Beach by Taylor Swift ft. Lana Del Rey
