His Rose ~ Details
(Kai Parker x Bennett OC fanfiction)
content warnings/tags ~ Dark fiction, dom/sub dynamics, abuse, murder, childhood trauma (mentioned). Minors DNI
I don't claim ownership of The Vampire Diaries or its characters. All credits go to the rightful owner(s). I only own my original character(s).
K.P. Masterlist
This fanfiction is born from my dissatisfaction with the way Kai was criminally underutilized in the TVDU. Honestly, I found him annoying at first, but he grew on me as season 6 went on. Thru Chris Wood's charming performance, Kai stole the show for me. I'll never forgive the showrunners for a lot of things, including underutilizing Chris Wood in this role & not allowing this broken king to have a real redemption arc.
On the topic of the showrunners, I'll never forgive them for how they did Bonnie Bennett or the Bennetts in general with how they were limited to magical plot devices for everyone else's use without any appreciative focus on their power & how it could really benefit them. Even though I love Bonnie & Kai, my otp endgame for her has always been Bonenzo, but I also adore Klonnie ❤️.
My AU changed and added plenty of lore around his coven & certain events. The plot follows the life of Bonnie's younger sister, Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz. I go on to describe her below, but I'd like to state that she acts as Kai's antithesis as an innocent, fledgling witch. She's also Bonnie's support system. I always hated how the show often ignored that Bonnie lacked family around her that were unconditionally there for her. Bonnie's mom left when she was small, she lost her grams in season 1, and her father was a non-factor in her life until he returned... just to get killed off in front of her.
I wrote Rose & Bonnie's dynamic keeping in mind everything I hate about older sibling/younger sibling dynamics, like the one between Buffy and Dawn in BTVS. Bonnie deserves family that consistently supports her, encourages her to prioritize her well-being, and actually tries to lessen the existing load on her shoulders.
Another thing I kept in mind when adding Rose to my TVD AU is not to have her replace or take away Bonnie’s space in the plot. Now, I do give her Bonnie's plotline of being sent to the prison world in season 6, but this is essential to the story, and the way Bonnie was treated that season made me so sad that I have no problem taking traumatic experiences from her (of which she has more than enough) and giving them to Rose.
Okay... if you made it through my rant, congrats. I also want to offer my inbox as a place where anyone can offer up requests, scenarios, ask questions, even if you want to roast my cruddy writing... my inbox is open.
🌹Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz:🌹
Born: March 18th, 1994 (18yrs)
Gender: Female | Height: 5’1” | Hair color: Brown | Eye color: Hazel
Race/ethnicity: Black and Latino/Hispanic
Species: witch (Bennett)
Titles: Rosy (Kai), littlest witch (by Kol), kid (by Damon)
Characteristics:
Rose is a gentle and kind-hearted person, always looking for the good in people and situations. She can be a people pleaser and overall naive when dealing with people, often seeing the best in everyone and believing in second chances
Family is important to her, so bonding with Bonnie means a lot. Due to her naivety and weakness, she can be easily manipulated and taken advantage of. Like Bonnie she’s compassionate and tends to selflessly help others. But still with spells due to her insecurity & inexperience with magic
She enjoys singing, gardening (honing her nature-based magic, making potions & studying herbology), fashion (sewing & thifting) and cooking (food is her love language)
She has a strong aversion to blood & violence so spending time with vampires took a lot of getting used to
Trilingual: fluent in Spanish & Portuguese
Despite her demure demeanor and virginal innocence, with her stuffed animal collection, enduring love of cartoons and a lack of dating, she’s a hopeless romantic that harbors the hidden desire to submit herself to a powerful dominant
Background:
Family: Bonnie Bennett (half-sister), Jamie Ruiz (half-brother), Abby Bennett-Ruiz (mother), Matteo Ruiz (father 🕊️), Sheila Bennett (maternal gm🕊️)
Rose was raised in Summersville, North Carolina. She was a child model until 13 when her father tragically died. She was the captain of her high school majorette dance team. Her life drastically changed when Bonnie arrived on her doorstep.
Rose was 16 when she & Bonnie would finally meet. Bonnie and Elena came to Abby for help with a spell. Rose was shocked to find that she had an older sister as Abby never mentioned Bonnie or the life she left behind in Mystic Falls. She was even more surprised upon finding out about her magical bloodline and that supernatural creatures walked the earth. Unlike Grams, Abby never mentioned magic throughout Rose’s life and even went as far to suppress her magic with by binding it.
After Abby is turned by Damon, she decides to leave her family to gain control as a fledgling vampire. Rose moves to Mystic Falls with Bonnie where she learns magic from her.
Magic doesn’t come naturally to Rose. But she often helps Bonnie with powerful spells, offering herself as a conduit for channeling together.
Admittedly having a 50% accuracy rate with her own spells. Rose’s confidence & focus are hindered when chanting and spells drain her much quicker even when she tries channeling the energy around her. Despite this, Rose is determined to improve, valuing her one-on-one time with Bonnie and spending late nights on her own practicing & memorizing spells. She uses her magic for good and wants to prove herself as a capable witch.
She excels at herb studies. Often experiments with potions and creates charms using the herbs they grow in their garden.
Her role in the Mystic Falls gang is the “Bennett witch in training” or “the bringer of baked goods” (according to Damon), since she often supplies their gatherings with fresh pastries. Everyone underestimates her power, even Bonnie. She tries to keep Rose out of danger unless she can’t help it.
🔪Malachai "Kai" Parker:🔪
Born: May 9, 1972 (22yrs)
Gender: Male | Height: 6'0" | Hair color: Dark Brown | Eye color: Blue-gray
Race/ethnicity: white/non-Hispanic
Species: siphoner (Gemini Witch coven)
Titles: abomination, black sheep, the defective twin (his coven)
Characteristics:
Charismatic with a charming smile. Upon meeting him, his charisma operates as a façade to hide his lack of empathy and his sadistic tendencies
Can be hard to read but that’s because he struggles with expressing his emotions which stems from his abusive childhood. He’s cold and relatively unfeeling with people, but once he lets someone in, he’s fiercely loyal and protective.
He can be observant, calculating and manipulative to taking advantage of someone and get what he wants
He’s a sassy man, often comes back with quick quips and has a natural sense of humor (typically dark humor)
When he’s comfortable, he never shuts up, has no filter and sucks with certain social cues. After being alone for nearly his whole life, will talk anyone's ear off without realizing they are not willing to listen
Kai can siphon all of a witch’s magic without killing them. He controls how the process feels - at its worst, a fast searing burn to a slight tingle. Overtime, a witch will regenerate their magic
High libido!!- He’s starved for touch and affection (though he would never admit that he needs anyone). Sexual desires reflect his sadistic personality as he enjoys dominating another person through absolute control and pain infliction
He likes raunchy comedies and media with half-naked women such as Bay Watch and MTV videos. A major foodie with constant cravings for sweet and salty snacks. He prefers snacking throughout the day but when he does bother to cook, it’s really good
He is fluent in old Latin, often found in grimoires and other ancient texts. When he was young he’d get his hands on old grimoires and study them, all the time to himself allowing him to hone his knowledge of witchcraft and technique
Background:
The Parker family is the head of the Gemini coven. Its patriarch, Joshua Parker is the coven leader. Kai is the eldest child, being half an hour older than his fraternal twin, Josette. Unlike Jo, Kai was born without the ability to generate his own magic, instead siphoning magic from lingering spells, objects, or other witches. When he was young, he would naturally gravitate toward the magic of his sister, so Joshua quickly decided to physically isolate Kai from everyone for fear of his son's "defect" hurting others.
As fraternal twins born of the coven leader, Jo and Kai would be set to merge on their 22nd birthday, where the winner takes the other's magic and coven leadership and the loser dies and is absorbed into the other but with the risk of Kai's siphoning ability giving him an edge in the merge, Joshua and Viviane continued having kids until she birthed another set of twins that would merge instead.
Kai's upbringing was lonely, spending most of his time locked in his bedroom up in the attic. Following his father's lead, most of his family excluded and demonized him. As he grew, Kai learned to internalize the cruel labels they gave him. If they wanted a monster, they would get a monster and on his 22nd birthday, May 9th, 1994, he would finally act on his boiling rage and resentment toward his family, unleashing the hatred he accumulated through a lifetime of torment onto his siblings when Jo refused the merge. To protect the twins, she would relent to merge with him but the coven was waiting and with the help of Sheila Bennett they banished him to a prison world of complete isolation.
Each year that passed only added to his hunger for revenge, left with nothing to do but plan his escape and seizer of coven leadership. He grew to take pride in what he had done to his siblings and his status as a sociopath capable of killing anyone who gets in his way without remorse.
AU-Specific Lore:
Prison world Lore:
Prison worlds are created by Bennett blood sacrifice, meaning a Bennett must be bled to death so the gemini coven can channel her blood magic.
A prison world resets with the eclipse every 3 months.
Time works differently, so no one ages throughout their time there.
A prison world cannot create life so the only living inhabitants are those sent there or arrive via ascendant.
Kai is linked to his prison world so he can’t die. If something kills him, he’ll be out for a while depending on the damage but the magic will heal him back to life. Without Kai, the prison world falls apart so while he’s there, it sustains his life to sustain itself. Once he leaves, it ceases to exist.
The Ascendant - an ancient device created by the Gemini coven and a Bennett ancestor that only responds to a living Bennett’s blood magic. The ascendant is sensitive to magic in general, so even when the spell is done right, it will activate then fall apart. You only have one chance at the time of the eclipse to correctly do the spell, which Kai knows from experience because early on he tried collecting a vial of Bennett blood that he hunted down in a hospital and using Josette's magic he siphoned from a hidden dagger. Disappointment boiled over into rage when he did the spell beneath the eclipse, the ascendant disassembled, but he was not transported out.
The Gemini Coven Lair:
Exists as a interdimensional where the coven keeps ancient texts, grimoires, enchanted items (talismans, gems, ascendants, etc.), and materials for spells & potions
Infinite space that can be utilized by the coven leader: often includes a space for magic instruction, a library, spell casting, a gathering area for the coven, etc.
Accessed only by portal, which is summoned by a spell entrusted to high-ranking Gemini members

a/n: I’m not even sure if anyone gives a fuck about Spike still, but we love a bad boy over yonder. I never finished btvs and I don’t indeed to. I was team Spike from the moment he came on screen. This whole concept of Spike being down bad for a Black goth baddie would NOT leave my mind after seeing a plethora of TikTok’s. So I hope you all enjoy this plotless, pointless one shot, the oc is 18 years old just fyi, and I’m not sure what the legal drinking age was in the 90s.
Word count: 2k
Pairing: Spike x black!oc
Warnings: mild violence, sexual content, and conversation.
🥀Spike- one shot
Laying on her back in the middle of the deserted street at 10pm, Dreya Morningstar wished she could be having a better night. After all it was Friday, she’s young, and full of life. “The last thing I wanna be doing tonight is stabbing monsters.” She groaned, as she stared up at the bright moon, a rustling came from the bushes. Quickly she jumped up, and into a fighting stance, a sharpened stake gripped firmly in her palm.
What she assumed was the vampire she was lingering around for, jumped out of its hidden shadows and on top of her, he quickly gained control.
“Oh baby, I love it when you wear skirts.” He moaned, she rolled her eyes at the sound of the oh so familiar British accent.
“Spike?”
“The one and only baby.” He grinned arrogantly, while having Dreya pinned to the ground, he trailed kisses from her chin down her neck, and between her breasts.
“What have I told you about interfering with my slaying?” She scolded, she currently wasn’t in the mood to play around. This isn’t the first time he’s basically done her job for her.
“I’m quite fuzzy on that topic, why don’t you jog my memory? I love it when you get all worked up and passionate about vampire hunting.” He snarled playfully as he glanced up at her, the sound of her heart excellerating exciting him all over again. He took his free hand, and placed it on her thigh. Her delicate skin is a soft almond brown, a stark contrast to his paleness, but that’s what attracted him to her so much.
“You do realize if they think I’m not needed here anymore, they’ll send me somewhere else?” She questioned him, her body now relaxed underneath his touch, and her fingers playing with his short curly blonde hair. The cool night breeze caressing her skin almost as gently as Spikes touch.
“Ugh, that bloody council doesn’t care about the good of humanity. If that’s the case they would train more of you.” He argued, and he had a valid point; Dreya just wasn’t in the mood to listen to another one of his political rants.
“That’s not the point babe, Sunnydale isn’t overrun by Council Member vampire Hunter. Which means not only do you fly under the radar, but also no one keeps their eyes on me to see me making out with said vampire in the middle of the road at ten pm.” She giggled teasingly, when the realization of her words finally hit him, he slowly lifted his head. Mischief sparkles in his aegean eyes, the corners of his lips slowly turned upward.
“Ouu how taboo, a slayer, and a vampire fooling around…in secret no less.” Spike purred, he launched at her neck like a lion, and pretended to bike at her neck. His fingers tickled her sides, then he moved to her face to pepper kisses all over. The bushes rustled violently, both Spike, and Dreya stopping in their tracks. After a moment a vampire revealed itself from its hiding spot, fangs out, and blood dripping from its chin. He growled as he stalked towards them.
“Mind if I handle this one?” She looked over at Spike who was already getting to his feet, reaching a hand out to help her off the ground, and then dusted her off.
“Hold on a second.” Spike held his hand out to the vampire who stood dumbfounded, Spike took his time to readjust her skirt, pull a stray leaf from her hair, and fix her lip gloss that smudged onto her chin. Finishing with a kiss to the forehead, Spike stepped aside, and gestured towards the vampire in question.
“Now you may, my darling.” Spike grinned, on que Dreya leaped forward, her foot kicking out, and landing square in the vampire's stomach. He stumbled back a few feet, he groaned in pain from the power of her kick.
“Please tell me that’s not all you got?” She taunted, the vampire got back to its feet, this time he put up more of a fight; although the adrenaline had kicked in, she knew Spike was ready to have some fun. The last punch she threw sent the vampire hurtling into a thick tree trunk, while he was down she took a breath.
“This wasn’t as easy as I expected, you did okay…a decent C plus.” Dreya raised her wooden stake, and brought it down into the vampire's heart.
“Poor bloke, never had a chance.” Spike tisked from behind her, his hands sliding onto her shoulder, and just when he thought he was off the hook Drew turned to him. A serious scowl on her face.
“Next time you interfere, you’ll be joining them.”
“God I love it when you threaten me.”
“Spike.”
“Fine, I know I’m not supposed to but you’ve been working overtime to help Buffy and the Scooby Gang. You deserve to have fun too, that’s what they're doing, partying.” He yet again made an excellent point, Spike may have also had selfish motives for helping. The faster she got done, the longer they could spend the night together before he had to go underground for the rest of the day.
“I get it, your unbeating heart is in the right place. I know you meant well, Spikey, but maybe at least next time warn me if you’re going to volunteer.” She wrapped her arms around his neck, the moon casting a bright light over his face making him appear ghostly. He pouted a bit, he could continue to make arguments about this, but decided against it. Nodding his head silently Spike dropped the subject, instead he began pulling her towards the sidewalk.
“C’mon love, nights still young, I parked the car a little ways from here. Let’s go show the Scooby gang how to party.”
Due to Spike's reckless speeding, we made it to The Bronze in 45 minutes flat; I would never admit this to him outloud but his driving was thrilling. The windows rolled down, and rock music blasting loudly from the speaker, he really knew how to get my heart pumping. Right as we pulled up Buffy is heading inside with Angel, I wiggle my fingers at her. Spike through his arm around my shoulder, he ignored both Buffy, and Angel as he’s still not on speaking terms with them.
“Tough night?” I asked on our way in together, she breathed out heavily, in combination with a deep eye roll said everything.
“I’ll tell you all about it in the morning, I need an alcoholic drink, would it be possible if you used your big girl ID to get me one?” Buffy asked hopefully, she batted her long lashes at me, I looked up at Angel who had shook his head ‘no’ at me from behind Buffy.
“Not a chance kiddo.” I giggled patting her on the head.
“I thought we came here to dance, not chit chat like a bunch of ninny’s.” Spike complained, he had already grabbed onto my hand, and pulled me towards the dance floor at the start of a slow song.
“You don’t have to be so mean.” I pouted, unlike Spike, I was willing to forgive what went down last year with Angel and his whole fight against his dark side.
“I actually do, I’m not like you. I don’t have the capacity to be the tiniest bit of nice to people like Angelous.” He grabbed into my waist pulling me into him closer, his hands sliding dangerously lower down my back for a public place. Spike is all for pda, letting everyone know that I was his, and if anyone dared tried to take me from him, well…things would get wicked.
“Then if that’s how you feel, nothing else matters, especially not right now.” I whispered, I never liked pressuring him into accepting things, even if I knew he’d be better for it. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pressed my forehead to his. We both closed our eyes letting the darkness surround us, before we knew it the song was over. Still caught up in the moment, I pressed my lips to his, hungrily Spiked sucked the flavored gloss off.
“Spend the night with me.” He demanded, a neediness to his tone, seeing Angel always put Spike in a bad mood now. I reached my hand up to caress his ear, like a cat he purred, and leaned into my touch.
“Okay.” I agreed, because how could I say no to him?
Reluctantly pulling away, we walked hand in hand towards the door, Xander and Willow called out to me on my way out.
“Leaving already? You just got here.” Willow pouted, she nursed a fruity looking drunk in her hand, I took note of her outfit; while being covered from head to toe wasn’t too out of the norm for her, anything with lace is.
“Yea, plus I didn’t get a chance to copy your math homework.” Xander blurted out, a goofy grin spreading across his lips, Spike was particularly annoyed with the younger teen. He never liked how he would catch Xander’s eyes lingering for too long on me. He’s threatened to eat the boy on multiple occasions.
“Guys, I’m a senior with a 4.0 gpa, and a full ride, the skies the limit.” I gloated, Spike had started off in the direction of the exit, his hand gripping onto my jacket.
“Aka, spending the night with Spike, and making kissy faces, blah.” Both Willow, and Xander pretended to throw up. I blew them both a kiss as I was halfway out the door.
Quickly Spike packed me into the car, he looked around like a maniac before hopping in the drivers side, and driving off. Even though he sped the whole way back to my home, Spike carefully pulled into my driveway. “It’s only 11 you don’t have to rush.” I tried to calm him down, an eager Spike can be a dangerous one, surely nothing I couldn’t handle but I hate having to fight him.
“I haven’t seen you all day, and the nights almost over.” He rolled his eyes, as he stood closely behind me and watched as I turned the keys to unlock the side doors. Not even halfway to the basement before his lips are pressed to the back of my exposed neck. His hands snake around my waist, then next thing I know I’m swept off my feet, and Spike is carrying me down the basement steps bridle style. He laid me on his bed, we both tore out of our leather jackets, he all but pounced me.
“Spike!” I squealed, his hands grabbing onto any part of my body that wasn’t covered, he loved squeezing my thighs in his hands. Spike always reminds me how much he adores my ‘plumpness’.
“Shout my name again love, gives daddy chills.” He teased haughtily, slowly he unbuttoned his silk black shirt, then he tossed it aside. He took my legs and wrapped them around his waist as he leaned down over me. My hands on either side of his face, our lips meet in the middle in a much more passionate kiss. Spike always gave off the energy of a warm blooded man.
“Spikey, are you all mine?” I purred, my nails grazing his scalp as he trailed kisses down my stomach, and back up to my chest. Looking up at me how he did a few hours ago, but this time he wore a more serious expression.
“I’ve always been yours kitten, since the moment you tried to stab me in the heart.” His voice dropped to a deep melodic tone, he rolled over to lay next to me. Our faces turned to each other as we laid on our backs, one of his hands reached out to touch my face. The tips of his fingers tracing my features.
“Hey Dreya…” he called softly, he looked tired, the longer he decided to force himself to stay away, the sleepier he got. Though it’s just now approaching midnight, Spike was an early sleeper these days.
“Yes my 1 Deadnettle?” I breathed, my eyelids felt heavy as I let out a soft yawn; though I argued with myself about it earlier. I'm glad I decided not to wear makeup. Spike turned on his side facing me, his eyes watching me closely, trailing from my face down to my exposed cleavage. I could tell by the concentrated look on his face that he was listening to my heart, the rhythmic thumping soothed him in a way I didn’t understand.
“I just want to rest with you.” He confessed, the sexual energy from earlier dissipated, his gaze tender. People from the outside looking in would never know how loving he actually is. I felt a sense of pride knowing that I get to see this side of him, and that he trusts me this much to be vulnerable with me. Wordlessly I invited him to come closer, my arms held outward to him. Without hesitation Spike rested his head on my chest, his ear pressed flat against my sternum, his hand on my stomach drawing circles over my exposed skin. My fingers caressed the sides of his face, and jawline. After a few moments my eyelids shut, and I drifted off to sleep with Spike in my arms.
1 Dead-nettle: Spotted deadnettle grows best in part shade — especially the silver types. Lamium maculatum grows best in part shade (especially for silver types which often need more light to maintain their color) or shade in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil.

20 Questions for Writers
I was tagged by @asirensrage! Thanks!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 24 as of answering this.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
44,041
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently? Riverdale, A Song of Ice and Fire, and The Vampire Diaries/The Originals. That doesn't mean everything else is out of the question, just not what's on my radar at the moment.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
buried hopes sprout anew (Harry Potter) a.k.a. the trans!Al fic I wrote back in 2017 kind of on a whim that appears to continue to resonate, kudos: 308
city lights on the water (One Day at a Time) was written for an exchange but really enjoyed writing it (possibly yuletide, I don't quite remember), kudos: 155
on the outside (looking in) (Gilmore Girls) the Gigi character study, kudos: 85
Poor Man's Summer (A Song of Ice and Fire) this was definitely written for an exchange and it's a popular ship so the reception doesn't surprise me (although I would have guessed that it would have ranked higher), kudos: 82
hope is in the dawn (A Song of Ice and Fire) same as above although the ship is more mid-level popularity by comparison, kudos: 68
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Usually yes. I’m sometimes slow and bhsa and my somewhat related other fic solace get the most comments of all my fic and some of the comments are very similar to previous comments so I’m not responding to every single one anymore. But I do love comments and I do try my best to respond to them.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I uh…haven’t finished a non-one shot fic in my life, unfortunately, so uhhh I guess there are two possible alternatives to this question. The first is what fic has the angstiest ending based solely on what I’ve posted to-date and the answer to that would be someone to look after you. The second is what fic will have the angstiest ending by the time it’s finished and the answer to that is obviously subject to change but will most likely be Deepwater.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I mean, see above but let’s see, the fic with happiest ending based solely on what I’ve posted to-date is you’re my christmas and the fic that will have the happiest ending by the time it’s finished, obviously subject to change, is How to Survive the Annual Downton Christmas Party.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
No, not really. One time someone posted a kind of hate comment on city lights where they told me that Syd and Elena should have had sex in the fic. It mostly made me laugh because it’s such a weird comment to leave. Also, Syd’s sister was literally right there?
9. Do you write smut?
I have written some, yes. I haven’t posted any yet though. Two different steps for me! 😅
10. Do you write crossovers?
Nope! I’m not really big on crossovers, actually, since I get a lot of hangups on differing world workings.
I did have a fusion fic I was working on for a friend at one point back in time. (For me, fusion usually means characters from fandom a and characters from fandom b in a neutral setting or a setting from a third fandom.) It was a Clary Fray/Kira Yukimura pairing set at Hogwarts.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I’m aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
No but I’m not opposed.
14. What‘s your all-time favorite ship?
Oh, that’s a difficult one. It kind of depends on what type of genre I’m fixating on and I also write a lot of oc x canon fic, especially going back the past five years, and usually that’s because I’m not really satisfied with the ship options for the canon character (not always, sometimes just because it’s fun to play in the sandbox but definitely a lot). I would say Sybil x Tom from Downton Abbey have been pretty long-lasting for me and also I adore Buffy x Tara from BTVS.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
All of them? 😅😭
16. What’s your writing strengths?
I wish I knew!
No, okay, I think what I am good at is foreshadowing. My absolute favorite fic comment of all time is a commenter who said that they only noticed a detail on second reading but it hit them really hard. Like, they reread my work and they noticed that poignant detail? Dream reader and commenter!
Related, I think I’m good at writing things from a pov that might not notice the significance or meaning of something but it’s clear enough that a reader will catch it if they’re not skimming or speedreading.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
I think what I need to work on is a descriptions, as in I could probably fill a page with words and words describing a scene but I need to learn how to use less is more to paint a vivid picture and draw the reader’s eye to an important detail or two.
Dialogue is also very hit or miss for me. Sometimes I think of dialogue while doing other stuff/out of the middle of nowhere and that I usually think is good. What I’m a lot less good at is writing dialogue when I’m writing a scene and it reaches the dialogue portion which I haven’t gotten to in my head/imagining yet.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
This is a super open-ended question. Uh, I would say there are many possible ways to do this. So far, it hasn’t been something I’ve had to wrestle with but I know going forward that I will have to. I think it depends on how much text the dialogue is? Beyond a few sentences, I think it becomes kind of cumbersome to have text in a language distinct from the text of the overall piece. (I’m definitely biased because I don’t care if the language is untranslated if I personally can understand it. 😅) I think it also makes a difference if the language is supposed to be understood by the characters/pov character as well.
I guess I’m not saying don’t do it but do think about what the reader will be thinking.
Here’s a good post about it/asking about it from a couple months back. Make sure to look through the notes!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Pretty sure it was HP on my old, old fanfiction.net account.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
I think my favorite fic that I’ve written so far is Stardust. I wrote it for a friend as a part of a little informal exchange and it was really great to get in the head of a character who I like but don’t think about very much and who is quite different from the kinds of characters I usually like. I think I was able to write a really strong characterful piece that doesn’t contradict anything established by canon in the character’s backstory as well as make it a contained, thoughtful fic.

𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐞'𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 . . . a highly private & selective mixed multimuse ft fandoms from : the witcher , tvdu , btvs , & more. solely uses x-kit rewritten trimmed tags & beta editor. temp rules & muse roster behind the cut. DO NOT FOLLOW FIRST ! minors , personals , non-mutuals dni. as lazily thrown together by : poppy. thirty5. she / they. central usa. discord is for mutuals only. . . . 𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
affiliated with : my mental health. blogroll : @nak1mura , @starsburnt ( sideblog to this ) most active muse : gabriel knight , btvs muses , angouleme of cintra.
⁰⁰¹ slides. ⁰⁰² resource blog. ⁰⁰³ aes / edit blog.
⁰⁰¹ do not interact if you : are a minor ( under the age of eighteen ) , a bigot of any sort , send anon hate / hate follow someone / vague / gatekeep / basically a bully. no whitewashing muses , genderbending muses , etc. while i can't police what you write - & while there will be dark subject matter on this blog due to the fandoms i write for - i will not follow anyone who writes p.dophilia , i.cest , or dub / noncon nor will i write it.
in regards to fandoms such as asoiaf & the witcher that include said things : it will be acknowledged but never romanticized or even written out for my own comfort.
⁰⁰² following & blocking ! i get extremely overwhelmed easily & while i enjoy writing & making friends it's very easy to feel like just a follower count. do not follow first even if we were mutuals in the past. if you ignore this rule i will hardblock ; if you can't respect one rule , how will i know you will respect another ? if you would like to follow me you can 100% send me an ask or dm ! i never thought i'd have to write this , but please do not constantly block & unblock me ( follow me only to block me again & repeat it. ) several people did that before i took a mental break the last time. unless you have in your rules give me x time to follow you , i will block you to let me know i should not engage if you do not follow back within a week. nothing personal 100% ! we are all curating our online spaces & that is super cool ! if we break mutuals please , hardblock me. if i think you soft-blocked me i would end up just hardblocking to , again , remind myself not to engage.
⁰⁰³ my activity is sporadic ! i have a chronic illness ; i am mentally ill & neurodivergent ; & i work full time. answering memes , or threads , etc , is going to be low on my priority & i won't apologize for that. i will try to let you know if a thread should be dropped out of courtesy , but understand i'm human & prone to being very scatterbrained. i do write on discord often ; if we are mutuals i'm more than willing to write there for fun !
⁰⁰⁴ all of my characters are canon-divergent. that doesn't sit well with a lot of people & that's fine. i just enjoy building worlds based from canon into something i think would be interesting. as for my star wars muses they are not inherently legends or sequels , but a third option. honestly , the "secret third option" rule can be applied to all my muses. i take what is there from film , tv , literature , etc , & mix in my own headcanon - voila ! the poppyverse ! if you have any questions about my characters , ocs or canon , ask me - at this time i lack the spoons to make separate dossiers.
⁰⁰⁵ triggering material will be present , as well as dark subject matter. all triggers will be tagged with "trigger /" for your convenience. war , violence , mental health , murder , horror , religious symbolism than religion itself , child soldiers , sexual content ( this will be tagged as "lemons /" or "lemon mention /" ) , unhealthy relationships , grief , childbirth / pregnancy , & more will be featured. as for smut - which will have the lemons tag - it'll be very few & far between , but it will always be tagged for your consideration.
⁰⁰⁶ memes are the best way to get the ball rolling ! i am going to be extremely plotting focused solely so no one assumes anything & proper communication is paramount. while i love shipping , it will not be a priority - nothing against those who enjoy it , i just enjoy found families more & that's okay & doesn't mean i won't ship because i have otps just like anyone else.
notps : d.elena , d.aroline , dandelion / geralt ( due to experiences of being guilted to write it. )
⁰⁰⁷ standard rp etiquette : no forcing ships / storylines or assuming them without discussing it first , regardless if it's "canon" or not. no metagaming / godmoding. some of my characters are canonly OP like ciri & i will not weaken her for you. do not hound me or guilt trip me for replies. this is a hobby , not a jobby , & i want to have fun.
cirilla of cintra , the witcher. angouleme of cintra , the witcher. buffy summers , buffy / angel. emerson leigh / anne keeble-pratt , buffy / angel oc. warden sophie amell , dragon age pc. bethany hawke , dragon age. daenerys targaryen , a song of ice & fire. tyene sand , a song of ice & fire. briar lightfoot , dnd / bg3 tav. viktor de lioncourt , amc immortal. claudia de pointe du lac , amc immortal. elena gilbert , tvdu. caroline forbes , tvdu. meggie gilbert , tvdu. grace nakimura , gabriel knight series. @nak1mura

Look below the cut for kbirb's @purimgifts 2024 letter (a little late, I'm sorry, it's been so hectic these past few days)
For reference, check out my "dear podficcer" letter from ITPE, which goes into more detail, as I know we want to keep these short and sweet! (It doesn't look short because bullet points but trust me... I tend to be wordier)
Hi! I'm kbirb on ao3 or Kaje to the wider internet/many of my IRL friends. I'm a nonbinary creator - typically podfics & graphics, though I do occasionally spill words onto a page and call it writing. I started podding in August 2022.
I think it's easiest to put it this way:
Triggers/Squicks/No-Thank-Yous:
Rape/non-con/dub con - with the caveat of rape recovery and abuse recovery being something I do enjoy in stories
Incest - I understand that to some portions of the fandom, clone shipping is called clonecest, but I do ship clones (with some caveats)
Underage/power dynamics - as a teacher, it's a major no from me
On-screen suicide/suicidal ideation - aka, if a character is recovering from suicidal ideation? That's fine. A character commits the act or seriously considers it? No thank you. It's easier to just say a blanket no to it
Cockroaches - idk I just hate them so much
Yes Please Times 1,000:
Slice of life
Modern AUs
Fluff in general
Hurt/comfort
Soulmate AUs (my faves)
Period piece AUs (especially regency era, oh my)
No Order 66
Crackfic
My favorite ships (applicable to this exchange, so focused on Jewish characters/women/Jewish women):
I tried to pick from all the fandoms I listed but I like a lot of gen fic in some of them. Especially ones like OFMD where there's not that many women in the first place, so I like fics that focus on women being power houses.
Star Wars [most of my SW ships are M/M so this is a little limited]: Ahsoka / any woman ever (well not ever but you get it), Kanin/Hera, Jyn/Cassian, Bail/Breha/Fox, Bly/Ayla
Ted Lasso: Keeley/Roy, Keeley/Roy/Jamie, Rebecca & Keeley, Rebecca & Ted
Batfam/DCU/Young Justice: Harley/Ivy, Kate Kane/any woman ever (again, not ever, but you get it), Jason/Kori/Roy, Artemis/Wally, Barbara/Dinah, Barbara/Kara, Barbara/Dick, Selina/Bruce, Selina/Harley/Ivy
The Locked Tomb: Gideon/Harrow, the fucked up polycule that created Gideon
The Adventure Zone: Lup/Lucretia, Lup/Lucretia/Barry, Aubrey/Dani
The Old Guard: Quynh/Andy
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow/Tara, Buffy/Spike, Buffy & Willow, Buffy & Tara
Six of Crows: Inej/Kaz, Inej/Nina, Nina/Mattias
The Good Place: Eleanor/Chidi, Eleanor/Tahani
My favorite canonically Jewish characters from my listed fandoms (tragically there is only a few due to the fantasy world element of many of my fandoms):
Harley Quinn (DC)
Kate Kane (DC)
[some versions of] Bruce Wayne (DC)
[some versions of] Barry Allen (DC)
Agnus McDonald (TAZ)
Willow Rosenburg (BtVS)
Also Roy Kent, my favorite character in all of media, is played by a Jewish actor.
I really like fics that portray Bruce as Jewish, due to Kate (his cousin) being Jewish, and especially ones that branch into exploring Judaism for the entirety of the Batfam. For example, I recently did a podfic of one for ITPE that was different Hanukkah stories!
Further, I love love love any fics surrounding trans women or really any fics that bring a new focus to a character that we haven't seen before!
Trans Clones!! My favorite thing ever in the SW universe. I have several of my own nonbinary/trans woman clone OCs. If you wish to make any characters trans, the only clone/clone ship I do not ship is Cody/Rex because they feel like siblings to me. My favorite clone/clone ships that could be made trans are: Rex/Bacara, Wooley/Longshot, Waxer/Boil, Hevy/Fives/Echo, Fox/Fives/Echo. My favorite clone/jedi ships that can be made trans are: trans!Bly/Ayla, Cody/Obi-Wan, Fox/Quinlan, Hevy/Jon Antilles, Fox/Jon Antilles, Fox/Quinlan/Jon Antilles
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me in an anonymous ask... or reach out to my best friend, FLOWERPARRISH, on discord if you know zir/on here and ze won't tell me who you are. Ze knows me very very well & might even be better to ask if you don't want to spoil a podfic or anything!!
#purimgifts#dear creator#dear podficcer#dear author#dear writer#purim#purim gifts#purim exchange#kbirb#okay wordier than i wanted but i am incapable of talking only a little#it's my fatal flaw#sorry not sorry???????

Hello/salut people of the internet!
(Apologies for how freakin long this post is 😭)
!! Fics cross-posted on ao3 under leonora_kin!!
Ahem, so, i disappeared off the face of the earth for two an a half years? Ish? Anyways i’m back now. So, here’s my re-introduction post for anyone who’s still here somehow, or for anyone new!
So, to the basics…Hi! I’m buggy, though you can call me pretty much anything you want, i don’t really care. This blog will be used for whatever shit posting i happen to partake in, but also other, more interesting, things! Moving on…I mostly use they/she pronouns, but once again, i dont really care. I’m super fucking gay and i like to draw. I’m also the most inconsistent person ever, so never trust if i say ill finish anything. Ever.
Anyways… I refuse to give details like where i live/ my age (this is the internet, ya’ll) but i will say that i speak english & french, i’m autistic and I’m studying biology and english. (How are those two related, you may ask? great question, no idea lmao)
Alr, now onto the fun stuff…
I write! (And draw) Lmao, inconsistently asf, but, yk… i both do it as a fun past time/hobby and as a personal outlet, in my very sparse free time, but if you have any reqs for or something, here’s my « rules » :
1. My content will be sapphic/queer- centric things.
2. I’ll write smut, (lemon),fluff, angst, xreader, x oc,etc etc. (I’ll only do smut for wlw/wlnb-g!p is fine though)
3. More on the topic of that, yes, i will indulge in some kinky shit- UNLESS!! Unless, it’s something i personally deem… either morally questionable or if it makes me uncomfortable (ex. Student/teacher or anything underaged, non-con, etc.) but you can always ask- i just wont write it if im uncomfy
4. I will also write for pretty much anyone! Just ask- as long as i’ve heard of the character i’ll try to do it (a few characters/ ships i enjoy writing for: any of Gwendoline christie’s characters, any of Charlize theron’s characters, any of Sarah paulson’s characters, emily prentiss (cm), willow (btvs), supercorp, villaneve (love them), avalance and loads more but ill stop now lol)
5. The last thing- i will also post random original stories at whim, so you’ve been warned if your randomly met with very… strange or random posts from me.
Alr- i think that’s about it! This’ll probably get updated over time but Thanks for being here! :)

BTV Q&A Time! OC’s favorite sleeping position? Do they have any comfort items, like a blanket/pillow/stuffed toy? What does your OC smell like? Do they have any scents they love or dislike? Why?
Olivia moves a lot in her sleep, and that doesn't change when she starts sharing a bed with Cullen. She likes to be free and unrestrained, even when unconscious... though she does develop a fondness for being the little spoon.
Her most treasured comfort item is actually an ornate perfume atomiser that belonged to her late mother. She has it refilled regularly with her mothers favourite violet scent. At first, it simply served as a reminder but she eventually started wearing the fragrance herself.
Thanks for the ask, lovely!

BTV OC question time! What would a demon of desire be able to offer your character that might actually have a chance of tempting them into accepting the offer? and What is the stupidest thing your character has ever done? Either because someone said they couldn’t, or on a dare.
Hi, @noire-pandora! Thank you for the ask, my friend. I’ll answer for Aranehn Lavellan.
What would a demon of desire be able to offer your character that might actually have a chance of tempting them into accepting the offer?
Mm, this is a good question. Changing Solas’s mind, I would say. If the demon could convince Solas to abandon his Big Plan and come back to her so they could live happily together, Aranehn would be so tempted. She already lost her home and her people in that botched war table mission; Solas walking away nearly broke her.
What is the stupidest thing your character has ever done? Either because someone said they couldn’t, or on a dare.
Riding a halla through the camp, naked, on a dare. She and her friends had gotten tipsy on brandy someone had traded for, and someone dared Aranehn to ride. They were certain she wouldn’t do it, because she’s so quiet, but Aranehn fooled them all. She still has the bow she won from that bet, actually. :)

BTV OC question: 8 If your character could choose one emotion to never feel again, would they? If yes, which emotion would they choose? If not, why not? 14 Name something that your character carries with them all the time. Why do they keep this item with them? Does it have any special significance to your character? and 16 Name something that your character carries with them all the time. Why do they keep this item with them? Does it have any special significance to your character? Thanks!
These will be answered about Gaelowen!
8) I think she would choose not to feel regret anymore. She does not regret a lot in her life, but the things she does regret make her feel BAD. Her clan dying is a big one because she did not really care when she left. She felt isolated from the clan her whole life so did not pay much mind when they wrote. She helped them, but when she heard of their death it hit hard.
14) I don’t think that she is the kind of person who would keep something sentimental like that. I think after Trespasser, she considers keeping something of Solas’ on her, but she saw him enough in her dreams to make that hurt more than help...
16) I am gonna answer this still even though its technically not in the ask!
What does your character believe happens after they die? Does this believe comfort or scare them?
I think she believes that you just end up in the Fade. She never had much faith so there was nothing to comfort her when she entered the Fade physically. She learned a lot there but seeing all that first hand messed her up some. And after drinking from the fountain and post Trespasser she is even more unsure now. She doesnt really know who to believe or follow...
I am so sorry I made all of these sad idk how to stop it...

BTV OC question: If your character could choose one emotion to never feel again, would they? If yes, which emotion would they choose? If not, why not? Tell me something that would make your character cry? and What kind of anger does your character have? Do they get loud and shouty, or quiet and furious? Thank you!
If your character could choose one emotion to never feel again, would they? If yes, which emotion would they choose? If not, why not?
I hoped someone would ask this question, thank you :D
Natia Brosca: Grief. She often tries to escape the emotion by replacing it with anger. She feels that anger is easier to deal with and that agressiveness actually makes things easier for her, while grief is heavy and makes her want to hide from the world.
Marian Hawke: Marian is even-tempered and doesn’t struggle with expressing any emotion in particular. If she had to choose to remove an emotion, it would be sadness.
Hayden Trevelyan: Fear is his least favorite emotion, although he understands that it’s good to be afraid of dangerous things. He really wishes he was less afraid though.
Tell me something that would make your character cry?
Natia Brosca: If someone close to her died or got severely injured, especially her sister.
Marian Hawke: Losing someone, fighting with a loved one, seeing a cute puppy or kitten :3
Hayden Trevelyan: All of the above + feeling inadequate
What kind of anger does your character have? Do they get loud and shouty, or quiet and furious?
Natia Brosca: Since anger is her main characteristic: her anger is usually loud, but it can also be quiet and furious. You can’t miss it though!
Marian Hawke: Usually loud and outspoken anger, but quick to pass.
Hayden Trevelyan: He is more of a quiet one. He likes to be diplomatic and careful while expressing anger. It only works sometimes...

BTV OC Question Time June-July: (1) As a child, who did you character want to be when they grew up? ... and/or ... (29) Who was the last person your character held hands with?
1. Fen always wanted to be like her mother Sulah’nehn. She always saw her as strong, providing, and big-hearted despite the odds.
29. Fen holds Revas’ tiny ravioli-sized baby fist on a daily basis. She may not be the mom she dreamed she’d be but she’ll try her best. Besides, he’s really all she has left of Solas 🙃
