Joined tumblr just so I could read your ELYN snippets, after rereading the fic over the past few days.
Just wanted to say thanks for it. It's still one of the most vivid fics I've read. It's still amazing.
Will you be writing anything else in the YR world, do you think?
Hi, thank you for the lovely comment <3 Welcome to tumblr!
There is not a definite answer to this. I would like to write more, I really enjoyed doing ELYN, the fandom has been great, but I am a very slowwww writer who would like to publish a novel one day so my fic writing time is very limited.
I do have things I would like to write! I have a vague outline for a soulmarks fic, I made the mistake of talking to a friend about werewolves and now there is a werewolf AU starting to take shape in my brain. But at the moment nothing has grabbed me to be like 'write this right now' in the way ELYN did in the weeks after season 2 came out.
...Maybe when season 3 comes out!
(if anyone got excited about a werewolf au and would like to read more longfic by me in general, I have a very long werewolf les mis fic that requires no canon knowledge and shares similar themes to YR in that it is about class differences and overthrowing the system. Also there are werewolves and everything is better with werewolves.)
((tiny bonus YR soulmark snippet below))
“Okay,” Rosh says. “But say you’re in a long term proper relationship, then one day you wake up and bam, you’ve got a soulmark. You'd still leave your partner?" “Of course," Ayub says. "Like, that’s your soulmate, you can’t argue with that shit, man.” Markus slings an arm over Simon’s shoulder. “Simme and I don’t believe in soulmates,” he says, like that’s something they’ve ever agreed on or even discussed. “We think who you choose to be with is more important, don’t we?” Simon gives a vague noise that could be counted as agreement, and then after he’s seen Markus to the door and invented an excuse for not being able to go back to Markus’s place - “I’ve got a test tomorrow I need to study for.” - he walks back into the room and pushes Rosh over into a pile of pillows. “You’re a dick, you know that?” She snorts. “You kept saying you were going to tell him! Did it come back?” Simon hesitates for a moment, then rolls up his left sleeve to reveal the constellation of black stars tracing across his wrist. Ayub freaks out, grabbing Simon’s arm to see it properly. “Oh my god, is that real?” Simon doesn’t need to look. At this point he knows it by heart, has traced lines between the dots so many times he’s almost surprised they're not permanently etched onto his skin. Somewhere out there, someone else is watching the same marks fade away on their own skin, as they drive away from Bjarstad. Again.
