#but do not ask me to write a MLB au fic

[911-on-abc]

no wip from me today bc I got distracted and spent all afternoon looking up MLB umpire rules because I had an idea for a Umpire!Buck, Pitcher!Eddie fic and now my head hurts 😵‍💫

[athena-xox]

Hi! I've been wanting to send asks for a while but couldn't think of a good question until recently.

I have three questions (or perhaps I should say headers).

One: How's your rewrite progressing? At what stages is cannon altered? Are there going to be concepts/characters ignored entirely?

Two: I've seen your (humorous) plea for long/multi chapter eah fics what are some of the favorite's you've read already? Any chance you have an idea of your own outside the rewrite? long or short (chances are yes, for literally anyone in this fandom but it bears asking).

Three: What fairytale(s) would you

A: Like to repeat

B: Could functionally thwart if you had to live through it.

C: Die in, or flee the land to avoid at all cost's.

Omg love the questions. I will admit I’m a bit to brain dead to fully comprehend all the questions so if I answer I different question that what you intended feel free to correct me.

With that being said, the first chapter of my rewrite is done and basically fully edited I believe it’s around 6000/7000 words. Chapter two hadn’t been edited but it’s kinda a weird one so it doesn’t really need to be edited and it’s only around 2000 words.

Chapter 3 I’ve written a bit of it and it’s also a short and I have a layout for it. And chapter 4 is going to be on the longer side probably 6000-10000 words. But after those are done and edited hopefully I’ll publish the fic!!

So that’s the progress, for what parts of canon are being altered, I think a lot of characterization. Bunny, Alistair, Crystal, Milton Grimm, Snow White & EQ are all characters who were either portrayed as good or morally grey that I’m going to make evil (whoops spoilers) and then also kitty isn’t really going to have a redemption arc like she did in spring unsprung, she’s just going to continue to chaotically be herself.

And then just every plotline / character will just be slightly more mature and in depth. And it depends on how you see canon because the rewrite is going to be a mix the tv series + the books which vary a bit on canon. And then obviously a lot more queer representation.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the epic winter arc is being disgraced but it’s going througu many changes. I’ll probably get ride of the whole through the woods concept because it doesn’t really add anything to the plot (although I am adding a musical that doesn’t really do anything for the plot except allow be to geek (theatre kid) out and give us some cute dizzie moments).

I really want to include her but I don’t think there’s going to be any room for Bella sister. Other things from canon that I’m not including is darise, Meeshell being a horrible singer, DARABELLA, Maddie having visions, the snow king, cupids crush on dexter, the revealer rays, probably lots more but I can’t think of them.

Onto the next question I definitely have some fic recs. I’ll probably make a separate post for it but my top 2 are rewrite ignite restart and a legacy of brambles and thorns.

I think the reason why I’m actually commuting to the rewrite is because it’s really the only eah fic I want to write since I plan to hopefully cover all the characters and ships I like. In my past fandoms I’ve had like 20 different fics I wanted to write but I never got a around to all or them.

Oh wait actually I guess I have one idea but I doubt I’ll ever write it since I want to focus on the rewrite. But during my transition stage from the mlb fandom to the eah I was thinking about an au. Either the eah characters with miraculous’s in the real world or mlb characters at ever after. 

Okay and for the last questions im assuming you’re asking which fairytales I’d like to 1. Be a part of 2. Don’t want to be a part of and I could stop it 3. Would have to run away from ?

1. When I was little I had the yearbook thing that had you create your own eah character and I always wanted to be a princess so I made myself goose girl

2. Definitely wouldn’t want to be like Jack in the beanstalk so I just wouldn’t take the beans

3. Sleeping beauty was my fav when I was younger so I definitely wouldn’t want to have Faybelles destiny. Or be an ugly sister, that would kill my self esteem (no wonder Bella and Brutta ran away)

For the last 3 questions I wasn’t sure if you were asking all abt me or if any were for my rewrite.

Anyways tysm for the ask !!

MLB SIMULACRUMS OF LUCK

Prompt by @sillysiluriforme , full list here: 🦋

(Mod Ladybug here! Thank you all so much for checking out these mini fics! I had a lot of fun writing them out, and thank you so much to @sillysiluriforme for making these prompts! We thought these prompts were be the perfect opportunity to share some blurbs about life in the Metamorphosis AU, and we hope you all enjoyed them! Stay tuned to the blog for more content from our story, and there will be a master post soon linking to all of them (also indicating the chronological order they happen in the timeline!) We hope you enjoy this last one too!)

One brisk spring night, Ladybug stood upon the Arc de Triomphe. Below her the city of love still had its stragglers, finding their ways back to their homes and hotels. Some stick around however, trying to find the few places still remaining open this late in the night. However, as Ladybug watched the citizens… something had changed within them. Looking down, there was no way of guessing the fact that just earlier today, Paris was burning. Not in any metaphorical way, literally burning. That fireman who got metamorphosed because of those kids pulling the fire alarm to get out of comparatively menial tasks really set it off in many parts of the city. And yet, they’re still walking, like it was an ordinary Friday night……

“Boo.”

Ladybug yelped and nearly bonked her partner with the yo-yo. “AH-!” After finally seeing it was Chat she hunched over, her hand on her heart, “Chat- you- you scared me!”

“Sorry about that, it comes with the territory of disappearing into the night!” Chat replies, proving his point by going toward a more shadowed part of the arc.

Ladybug looks up and down and snarks, “Sure you would… if it wasn’t for your bright hair, those eyes, and the gleam on your leg.”

“Close enough!” The two laugh for a bit before Ladybug’s fades into a sigh, looking back out onto the street. Chat Noir tilted his head as he leaned on the staff. “Are you okay, Ladybug?”

Ladybug slightly nods. “I um… I… guess.”

Confused, yet still concerned, he goes to line up with her eyesight to see what she sees out there.

“Peoplewatching?”

“In a way, yeah,” Ladybug replies, sitting down over the edge of the arc. “I don’t know, Chat, I’m just… getting concerned.”

“About Monarch?” He immediately asks, his mode changes.

“Well… that’s definitely part of it.”

“I know that was kinda an obvious part, my bad. What are you concerned about, then?”

Ladybug points down to the crowd below. “About… them.”

Chat Noir observes for a second, then frowns. “For all anybody else could know… no one is acting like just a few hours ago, the fire captain was burning up a lot of Paris, huh?”

“Exactly…” Ladybug takes out her yo-yo and Chat unclips his bell.

“I… haven’t really followed a lot of comics and I know you do so uh… do the heroes you read about have any magical cure-all that makes everything back to the way it was?”

“It’s not common at all,” Ladybug replies, “sometimes they… go into discussions about how… responsible they are for the damage as much as the villains are but most times, it’s just… ignored, and by the time the next issue comes, everything just… goes back to normal. I think writers do it that way to not overly complicate their fun hero stories unless they want to focus on it.” She pauses. “But as for real life…am I crazy to think that… everyone is acting too…normally for something that catastrophic?”

Knowing that feeling on a general level, Chat slightly swings his metal leg with his other one. “I’m… pretty sure everyone deep down is afraid down there. You can’t forget something like that. Or any other time a scélérat does something catastrophic. But you can’t lock yourself away behind fear either. Life’s gotta continue. I… um… know some people who I hope can understand that one day.”

Ladybug looks out. “Yeah… you… got a point. Sometimes, against the people who want you to be afraid of them… the big protest you can do against them is… to say ‘you know what, I’ll do this today- I will go to the grocery store that was literally ashes a few hours ago!’ …that was dark, I’m so sorry…”

“It’s fine, it’s… kinda true,” Chat Noir chuckles, “And yet at the same time… I… hope that they still take what happens here seriously. Especially with Miraculous always reversing it every time…”

“We can’t trust that it’s going to work every time though,” Ladybug grimly replies. “So far it has but there might be a day… especially if Monarch becomes more powerful.”

“That’s um…” Chat looks aside, “yeah... Too bad for them, they got the ultimate crime-stopping duo of superhero to deal with! Eh?” He slightly nudges her arm.

“Chaaaaat, we’re the ONLY crime-stopping duo of superheroes in Paris,” Ladybug slightly smiles.

“…And as much as I think that Miraculous is something not to be taken lightly, I can think of one specific, unequivocally good thing about it.” Chat realizes.

“What’s that?” Ladybug asks.

“Look.”

Instead of looking at at the citizens going about their night, Chat Noir turns Ladybug’s attention to a bunch of bushes and flowers. .

“A…. Garden?” Ladybug inquires, jokingly.

“Ha, noooo, it’s what’s in the garden! Do you see those purple azaleas there? Just… right above that. Take a closer look.”

Ladybug slightly leans closer to where Chat directed her until… “..! Oh!”

Pollinating the azaleas is a distinctive, glowing white butterfly, fluttering about the bushes from petal to petal. Its supernatural glow illuminates the flowers around it, revealing their shades even in the darkness of night.

“When we purify the scélérat… the victim returns to their normal self… and then when we use Miraculous…. It… takes away everything that they ‘did’… that was not their fault. It might not get rid of everyone’s memories of what happened, mentally… but the physical consequences are… cleansed out. It wasn’t supposed to happen, so it physically didn’t anymore.”

Ladybug stares at the butterfly… it seems so, huh? When people are scélérats, they become a plaything of Monarch. President Endat’s Mauve Act made it legally decreed that scélérat victims are not legally responsible for the actions they had done while the butterfly was still in their systems. Miraculous made it so that they were no longer physically responsible too.

“So… no matter what people may.., do or think… they… have every right to continue their lives…” Ladybug ponders. “Because at the end of the day… when we beat Monarch… that’s what we gotta do afterward anyway.”

“I’m so glad you said ‘when’, Ladybug,” Chat smiles, “at least I know that both of our heads are in the game.”

Ladybug smiles back, “Thanks, Chat.”

The two get up and nod- it’s time they move to another part of Paris to continue their patrol. Ladybug grapples out her yo-yo, and Chat Noir launches himself off with the staff. The power of purification, even if it gives off as many nerves as it does relief, is such an amazing one to have, and it is up to the two of their powers, together, to free Paris from all the ailments the scélérat brings. As long as these two have each other, Paris is going to be okay. As long as these two stay strong, they can be the force that helps the people victim to Monarch’s whims. As long as they have each other, Paris can restart before the attack.

As long as they have each other

As long as they have each other..

As long as….

…

…

…

They need each other.

List of my fav mlb fanfics no one asked for:

(this is a very long list btw, and all links are to ao3. I try to include as many warnings as possible, but I may forget some so please read the tags before reading the fic.)

Baby Boom by ShawnaCanon

It’s about an akuma that causes everyone in Paris to… do the deed… (not graphic) and every woman to get pregnant. It somehow evolves into a timetravel fic-

400,000 words- def recommend for readers who are okay with vague references to sex.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23034028/chapters/55083382

Dearly Despised (I Love You) by snacc-noir

Lovely fic. A nice take on the adrienette enemies to lovers trope, and it adds in some fake dating. Cn and Lb start out as (more or less) lovers in the beginning, and it evolves from there. It’s not a finished fic, but still, if you’re willing to wait then read.

73,000 words so far (I’ll update as time goes on) and 33 chapters- totally clean fic, I recommend if you love enemies to lovers trope.

(Last update on the fic was 10/20/2023)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28711611/chapters/70393941

Turn Loose the Mermaids by bookskitten

WONDERFUL. That is all I have to say about this. One of my personal favorites for sure- it’s a mermaid au where Marinette is a siren hellbent on dragging the captain of a ship (who just so happens to be Adrien- aka Captain Noir)down to the depths of the ocean… but you know it won’t end that simply.

64,000 words- WARNING- GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF SEX. I do not recommend for anyone not comfortable with that sort of thing. But if you are, go read! I promise it’ll be worth your time.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8238214/chapters/18879793

Cut My Life into Pieces, This is My Last Resort by Silver_fox_fyre

This was… an interesting one to say the least. In this, Marinette is at the end of the rope- struggling with being both Marinette and Ladybug. So, of course the logical decision would be to fake her own death. Well, Marinette’s death, that is. Be warned, some of the excuses are kind of a long shot (for instance, she fakes her own death by using the mouse miraculous- only she doesn’t actually have the costume, she just looks normal.)

114,000 words- completely clean- characters do fall asleep on each other like…once, but nothing happens. Some passionate kisses, but that’s all. Lots of violence though, and blood and gore are a given. Character death is included as well. I recommend for braver readers.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/44353420/chapters/111546223

In Case You Don’t Know Me Tomorrow by thelibraryloser

This one is… an interesting one at best, a strange one at worst. The idea itself is that this is a universe where you can pay to have your memories erased. (No plot spoilers there) everyone is aged up in this, maybe around 20, 25. Non-magical universe as well.

56,000 words- a good fic, I’ll say, but it is a bit weird and I got bored of it at times. But stick around to the end and you’ll be rewarded, I promise. Clean as well, don’t worry.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41522079/chapters/104136594

Miraculous Magic: First Year by spetember

*gasp* Is this- it is! The mlb/Harry Potter crossover you’ve all been waiting for!! Marinette and Adrien are 11 year olds who have just received their Hogwarts acceptance letters. They receive magical artifacts- and are told by Headmaster Fu that they must strive to defeat the Dark Lord Hawkmoth. They are 11, so while Mari does develop a crush for Adrien near the end of the fic, there isn’t much love. But honestly? I didn’t miss it. There’s so much action- I loved it. I’m thinking of writing spin-off fics about the other years, so if I do I’ll post the link in the reblogs.

58,000 words- wonderful. Simply wonderful. Mild violence, but no worse than the actual Harry Potter. Nothing related to love, as I mentioned. They are 11 after all. If you are in both the hp and mlb fandoms, I def recommend.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/11558436/chapters/25960689

Longest Night by P_Artsypants

Whump fic. Must I go on? Jokes aside, this fic is amazing. Marinette and Adrien are captured by some psychopath, and are tortured. I mean really tortured. Like I had to walk away at times it was so much- and this is coming from the person who regularly reads violence and smut. But if you can make it through, it’s a wonderful story. I don’t wanna spoil anything… but they do make it out alive. Well… kinda. I’ll let you read to find out.

210,000 words- Okay, I know I like to joke around a lot, but this time I’m serious. This is a very graphic fic which includes torture, and I mean real torture- not just the stuff you see on TV, but the stuff you see in R- rated horror movies. The fic actually references that the plot is similar to a horror film that actually got banned from almost every country in the world because it was so horrible. (The fic isn’t as bad as the film, but it is kinda horrifying.) Just for reference, here’s some torture tactics they use: Forced piercings, locked in a closet for a month, food loafs (a bunch of leftover food that’s baked with poison that makes you hallucinate) and.. well, there’s blood. I’ll just say that much. PLEASE use caution when reading, I will not say that again. For extremely brave readers only. Oh, and a side not- not completely clean. There is a sex scene at the end, which is skippable but if you are comfortable I would read it.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19855210/chapters/47019550

The Strings of Fate by sailortwilightt

OKAY BACK TO THE NICE FICS. This is actually a two-parter, and it’s nail-biting good. It’s a soulmate AU, naturally, where an invisible red string takes you to your soulmate. Please note that this is an older fic written before the more recent seasons, so Emilie, for example, is not dead. This also evolves into an alternate dimension AU, and it has a great plot.

120,000 words- counting both fics. As warnings go, there isn’t much to warn. It’s clean as far as smut goes, and, while there is definitely some graphic violence scenes, nothing too bad. I recommend for the reader who isn’t too bothered by the canon-fanon differences.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/919836

Miraculous Moves Underground by LadyDi1980

Okay, so I’m sure you’ve seen the post about this fic floating around. It’s a dancing au, which features the clashing worlds of ballet and hip-hop. Non-magical, but I didn’t miss it. Wonderful au, really, and I def recommend.

104,000 words- clean fic. No violence (except for a few slaps initiated and recieved by none other than Gabriel Agreste) and no smut. There are some songs and images that don’t work attached to the fox. So be prepared for some disappointment in that department. Also, the music is mostly BTS.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7203476/chapters/16346582

Blanks by DipStick45

For those of you who stayed around until the end, you’re amazing. This is my favorite fox by far, and it’s absolutely incredible. It’s a zombie apocalypse au, but it’s much more sophisticated than the usual zombies one. The actual word zombie isn’t used once in the fic. Oh and by the way, this fic made me cry. I have never cried from any book, tv show, or other fic in my life, but I cried in this one. Why? You’ll just have to find out!! Oh and also, this is only 2 chapters. Apparently they were doing a one-chapter challenge, but ao3 has a word limit for chapters. READ. I WILL PERSONALLY FORCE YOU.

103,000 words- okay so despite what I said- here are the warnings: major character death. I won’t say more for now. Violence. As expected, only times 10. Someone gets beheaded, another gets themselves split in half. The actual zombie bite’s effects are also quite graphic. There IS one smut scene, but it’s not detailed. And Adrien was high anyways. Oh yeah, alcohol use, and… I mean… they do describe the human body in some detail, but it’s not that bad. Chloe is insane, by the way, so there’s that. I think that’s it. If you’re okay with that, then read. I beg of you.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43755576/chapters/110030079

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed this very long list of fics! Lemme know what you think of them!

[tea-of-destiny]

I will hopefully do more than one of these, but I'm torn about what to focus on most immediately in my writing, so I'm crowdsourcing thoughts

Mostly Layton options because that's mostly what I think about these days lmao sorry KH followers. Also let me know if I'm forgetting about a project!

[sunsetcurbed]

20 Questions

Saw someone do this and gave an open tag and I'm bored at work so guess what I'm doing.

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 28

2. Whats your total AO3 word count? 538,006

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently, Julie and the Phantoms and Bridgerton. In the past I've also written Harry Potter (obligatory fuck JKR), 9-1-1, Teen Wolf, etc.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

don't you know you've got the best of me? - 6,314

so just give me one more night - 2,606

every piece of you (it just fits perfectly) - 1,188

and even better, i get to be the other half of you - 770

i didn't wanna believe that i could lose you - 750

5. Do you respond to comments? Unfortunately, not typically. I used to, but I was putting so much effort in to responding and it just took a lot out of me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hands down don't you know you've got the best of me?. I strongly believe in HEA and all my fics will have one, however, dykygtbom is more of a bittersweet ending?? It's still a happy ending, but there's a lot of darkness in there as well.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? ... All of them?? As I said, HEA is my thing, and I don't really skimp on them. If you pressed me for an answer, I'd probably say give me something to hold on to, SOLELY because we see some of the happy ending that is simply implied in others. Like, we see the proposal, the wedding, their kids, etc. So probably that one, but like. My other fics don't not have a happy ending.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I've gotten exactly one comment that I'd classify as a "hate" comment, but I've seen people hate on my fics in other places outside of my comments. So like... yes but no?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do not! If I want to indicate a sex scene, it will be a fade to black.

10. Do you write crossovers? I do not! It's nothing I'm against and I won't say I'll never write one.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, a few times. Mostly people reposting my fics onto WattPad.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Someone recently asked if they could translate dykygtbom! So in process, I guess?

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Once! life is not a love song we can try I also haven't technically co-written with them, but @willexmagic and @hufflebibin have been involved in a lot of plotting for my more recent Willex fics, like mob au.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? This question is illegal actually, didn't you know? Top 5 are:

Penelope/Colin (Bridgerton)

Fred/Hermione (Harry Potter (obligatory fuck JKR))

Willie/Alex (Julie and the Phantoms)

Ben/Leslie (Parks & Rec)

Percy/Annabeth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)

And it was hard narrowing it down to those. :( Also yes I am a friends to lovers truther.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will? Honestly... it depends? Right now I'd probably say MLB au for Willex. I want to finish that so badly, but I just haven't had the steam for it. There are other Willex fics I'll definitely be finishing—mechanic au, mob au, etc—but MLB au is just so long, so I'll just have to see how it plays out.

16. What are your writing strengths? Texting. /j (No but actually the amount of comments I have gotten in my fics that have complimented the texting/soc med elements that I include is actually really cool.) I'm often told I'm good at characterization and voices!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I feel like I can really struggle with pacing. Also knowing where to put hands.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Have you ever read Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter? They sometimes speak different languages in those books, but the internal thoughts translate for you. Not like word for word, but like, say someone asked "What did you do on summer vacation?" the internal monologue would kind of paraphrase that and while you might not know exactly what was said, you're given insight into what is being said. I rarely use different languages, but when I do, that's the technique I use.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The fics no longer exist, but Maximum Ride. Yeah, I've been around the block a few times.

20. Favorite fic you've written? give me something to hold on to. It's my most honest, real, human fic. So much went into that fic and it's the one I'm most proud of.

Tagging anyone and everyone who wants to do this!

[providing-leverage]

Answer the questions and tag five fanfiction authors you know! Thanks @jamietarttsnorthernattitude for the tag.

1. How many fandoms have you written in?

40? At least according to ao3, but some of those are weird because they exist within the same universe but are different fandoms tags for different media (like with comics and Star Wars), plus some unfinished/unpublished stuff that's still on my computer and will probably never been seen by another person

2. How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

My first published fic was 2016 or 2017 I think. So around seven.

3. Do you read or write more fanfiction?

Read for sure, it's a problem.

4. What is one way you've improved as a writer?

Hopefully everything. But I've been actively trying to work on stuff like research and outlining, as well as emotions.

5. What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Jewelry, specifically earrings, worn in Romania in the 1400s for a Castlevania/MLB crossover fic. I was neck deep in pdfs of archeology reports.

6. What's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Any comment is an amazing comment. But my favorite is when people point out specific details or tell me how they felt about the chapter on a personal level. Also re-read comments because what do you mean you love my fic enough to read it more than once??

7. What's the most fringe trope/topic you write about?

I am forever a crossover girlie. See Q5, which might be my wackiest crossover yet, but is my no means my only. Stuff like Criminal Minds + Supernatural are fairly standard, and I'm not the only one to write Ted Lasso + Leverage but the Old Guard + the Mechanisms? Weird.

8. What is the hardest type of story for you to write?

Long fics and especially multi chapters are very hard because of my attention span, but it helps to keep a couple going at a time I've found.

Also, romance. I've written a lot of it and yet I don't think I'm good at it.

9. What is the easiest type?

Stuff I know. I'm always going through life asking myself would this moment in my life make a good fic? And the answer most of the time is yes.

10. Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?

Crosslegged on my bed, in my beanbag chair, the floor, the couch, where ever feels comfortable really. Google Docs, although I am also looking to find another platform to write on that words well. I write when I should be doing other stuff, mostly.

11. What is something you've been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?

Every fandom I'm in, I dream up three aus: a Leverage fusion, a sense8 fusion, and a Pacific Rim fusion. I'm a fusion girlie too. I've written a single Leverage au back when I was doing Torchwood, but no others have gotten past the drabbles and scribbled notes stage.

You know the drill, Katie: You leave an open invitation to your Ask Box, and I just have to ask as many things as possible. Feel free to disregard

🌗 fluff or angst?

🧑 favorite character to write?

📚 favorite fandom for write for?

🥰 fave fic you’ve written?

💎 fave trope to write?

💡what inspires your fic ideas?

I do know the drill, and shall answer all of these!

🌗 and 💎 I already did for bods right before this, so actually, all the other ones!

🧑— oh this soooo varies per fandom for me, but since you’re a TMBS mutual, I’ll go with my favorite TMBS character to write: Nathaniel Benedict/Ledroptha Curtain. He’s just… there’s so much there. ESPECIALLY in the tv show version.

📚— ok so I love all my fandoms equally and I go through phases where I write fanfic for each of them. Some fandoms I publish almost everything I write (ex Star Wars), some fandoms I write a lot of stuff I never finish (ex tmbs), some fandoms I write a lot of stuff and never post it (LOTR). It literally just depends what I’m in the mood to write. If I’m feeling redemption/past rivalry angst, I’m going to be Star Wars or TMBS route obviously. If I want to handle a character’s trauma I’m probably going to write for Star Wars or LOTR. If I’m really feeling like I want to write a reveal fic, which happens way too often, Merlin or MLB it is. And if I just feel like writing angst, I pick whatever fandom I’m currently into a roll with it! Because I can whip out angst for ANYTHING! In short, I love my fandoms for different things, and could never choose just one!

🥰— this Star Wars fic is definitely my favorite I’ve written! I’m also very proud of this crossover between SW and Merlin, as well as this TMBS Benedict twins fic!

💡— usually, canon inspires all the ideas. I’m watching or reading something and I’m like “I like that. I need to expand on that” or “I dislike that. I need to fix that.” Sometimes, of course, I get an idea from a friend on here (@nobodysdaydreams you know what you did I’m invested in this Constance sw au now) or something random just strikes me and I’m like “I shall write this” (the theater kid au that is taking an obscenely long amount of time to complete).

Thank you for the ask Sophie!!!

[gaeasun]

20 questions!

Tagged by @mwolf0epsilon , thanks!

How many works do you have on AO3?

64, a very nice number

What’s your total AO3 word count?

334,693

What fandoms do you write for?

yep just star wars

What are your top five fics by kudos?

-Fading Into Black (a MLB fic where the hyperfixation faded mid fic...)

-Voices of the Past (where a squad of Obi-wans old friends come rescue him from the inquisitor fortress)

-When Was the Last Time (a fic inspired by @amikoroyaiart, where Cody and Wolffe visit Fox and make him take a nap)

-Found You (Wolffe enter's Fox's psyche with a little time travel too to bring back his missing memories)

-Protocol T-10 (Dogma returns from Kamino with even more trauma, and Torrent uses a little TLC to help him heal.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to respond to every comment because a) i like talking about my thought processes and b) i really like comments so im hoping people will be more like to comment if they think i'lll respond

What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

defintiely I Cannot Stop This Sickness. take a look at them tags if you want to read

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

im not sure i can really answer because i try to make most of my fics have happy endings lol.

Do you get hate on fics?

not so far and im sure hoping it stays that way

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

nope

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I write them on occasion, theyre fun if i can get all the lore to match up nicely which is my favorite part of writing them. My favorites are Oh Captain My Captain (Fives gets to be Captain America, in SW universe but with CA plot points) and Fox, Fox, Let Down Your Guard (Tangled AU where Fox is Rapunzel, in Tangled universe)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No. closest ive seen is some similar points.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

almost did once but it didnt work out

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

not into ships much but Bail/Breha are i think the best couple in star wars. Totally healthy, both had huge responsibilities that they managed very well while continuing to atay devoted to each other, and they raised Leia Organa and did an excellent job.

What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

One about heartbreaks creating golden scars and Dogma having a lot of them. its pretty angsty and i havent felt angsty enough in a while to finish it.

What are your writing strengths?

I've been told im pretty good at chracterization, and i also make giant and complex but working plots that spring from my head like athena.

What are your writing weaknesses?

sitting down at my darn computer and writing. especially when theres no action or big plot happening.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I don't speak any other languages. I know bits of Spanish and Mando'a but not enough to really write a bunch.

First fandom you wrote for?

Miraculous Ladybug.

Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Why are you asking me to chose between my word-doc children. I really can't.

@calamity-aims and @saltsanford, get tagged! (no pressure)

[margarethelstone-2]

For the fanfic ask, how about M and R?? ☺️💕

M: What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with?  Did it turn into a story?

Oh my goodness, for sure there have been some crazy ideas at a time, but I'll need a minute for this one. I do remember thinking of a Zutara: The Lion King AU, with the banished cocky, insecure prince and all, as well as a Hiccstrid: Anastasia AU (not so weird, really). Neither turned into a fic, although i did rephrase the "Rumour in St. Petersburg" into a "Rumour on the Isle of Berk" song, or at least bits of it (quite successfully, may i add). I blame @astridthevalkyrie and @wilderwestqueen for the last one.

also obviously virtually everything can be turned into an MLB au. just saying.

R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?

I feel like i've been answering this question since the first ask I ever posted, but when it comes to fanfic, it will always be @cried2dream, as she is the one who personally and single-handedly dragged me into writing fanfic in the first place (with her own great writing, of course).

Fanfiction aside, I do pick up a style of writing pretty easily (if imperfectly), and so here it would mostly be L.M. Mongomery, Jane Austen and Andrzej Sapkowski (yes, the Witcher guy).

But also I will never not talk about Fyodor Dostoevsky and Boleslaw Prus, so I'm dragging them into this as well because I can.

And Tolkien. Of course there must be Tolkien.

[brick-a-doodle-do]

BRICKETH MY GORGEOUSETH!!!

yes that’s a real word. FIGHT ME ON IT!

I have questions for you :D (finally T-T)

What do you find sparks the most inspiration when writing?

Pick: never be able to read again, or only be able to read backwards (no word shuffling)

What’s a fav hobby for you outside of writing?

Top 3 fav fandoms go!

What gets you mothers most excited? Reblogs, comments or asks?

What was the first thing that sparked an idea for a dsmp gt centred fic?

As a fellow mlb fan, fav ship out of the love square?

You’ve asked me before but: what do you write on, font and font size, colour user?

Your favourite dsmp gt fic

Your least favourite dsmp gt fic

A fic you wished got more notes then it did

A fic that performed better than you were expecting

Do you write for yourself or for others?

If you could change one canon thing from dsmp season 1, what would it be and why?

A character you think is underrated

Something canon about your c!sona

Your fav oc and lil bit of info about them.

A random thing you like that others often don’t.

Ok I think I added enough questions! Go wild!!! Love you Brick!!! Have a lollipop 🍭

HILOOO!! I LOVE BRICKETH DSFJGDSJDNF!!!

SDGHFDSJGCSDFDNF THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS I LOVE YOU!!

probably music when i'm actually writing, and sometimes shows/movies will spark aus ideas cause yk it's pretty easy to pick a plot from a movie/show subplot,,

read backwards!! it'd be cool because 1. i could learn to read backwards and 2. it'd make suspense & tension so much better! i love when characters in a horror movie slowly make sense of something written backwards :D

mm probably baking? idk i'm a very boring person irl so it has to be baking--i'm not very good at making baked goods look appealing but it always tastes really good :D and it's just fun to be in the kitchen and bake sdjjgdsdnf

uhuhuhuh g/t dsmp & horror,,,, is horror a fandom??? it is now!

ASKS AND COMMENTS!!! I LOVE READING THINGS!!! I WOULD RATHER HAVE 100 COMMENTS AND 1 REBLOG THAN 1 COMMENT AND 100 REBLOGS

mm time to get into this !! probably little streamer au, because that sparked an idea for an au where dream was tiny and george was human. then i wanted to ask ppl for prompts and then curiosity came from a prompt i got on a random prompt generator. at the time it wasn't g/t and was a normal fic following the same plot except wilbur was a lot friendlier and didn't trap tommy sdhjsdnf

marichat, it's so basic and so underrated, i get so hapy whenever i see the two of them together :D also for some reasons they're vibes are pretty cool. all of their scenes are nice

i used to color my pages when i was bored but then i stopped. so currently, i write in size 8 and my font is times new roman. aaand i write mainly on google docs, but sometimes i'll write on notes if im in a hurry (usually tho notes is for quick idea jots)

supermarket au will forever have a VERY special place in my heart and i looove supervillain and super...tiny? au, so i'm going to go with those two before i add more and never end my ramble sdjgjsdnf

alr for this i am not doing anyone elses fic and instead doing mine because 1. i don't think i could pick one and 2. if i did i don't think i have the heart to say cause i don't want to make anyone upset :'D SO from MY aus, my least favorite is probably my mlb au. the concept is amazing but worldbuilding is incredibly confusing and i keep changing the au plan,,,

MY GHOST FILES FIC!! I'M SATISFIED THAT I GOT SOME NOTES ON IT BC YEE THAT'S AWESOME BUT I HAD A LOT OF NOTES ON OTHER POSTS ABOUT IT, WHERE DID THOSE PPL GO??

hmm probably oh george. i knew it would do semi-well but i didn't expect it to get almost 100 notes--- the dsmp g/t fandom really likes dream apparently sejhgjsdnf

it depends, some of my wips are for me and won't be posted (looking at you non g/t fics) but my g/t fics are usually for other people, especially those gifts i give out. looking at my recent post i definitely think i like writing for other ppl tho

honestly (and this may be just because i haven't finished the lore yet) i think i would want tubbo to do the s1 ending. when he mentioned that he said he thought amnesia was lazy but it wasn't up to him, it makes me wonder what he'd come up with, because tubbo is a really smart guy when he needs to be

hbomb!! i don't watch him a lot and i've only seen him a bit in lore but so far all of the interactions with sbi in pogtopia era i really like hbomb :D

her home is very tidy despite her temper,,

i don't have too many ocs but my favorite is probably celina! i made her a while back with my friend a few years ago. basically the whole thing we did was celina is a "crazy lunatic nurse" get it? C(razy)eL(unatic)iN(urse)a i was pretty proud of that one lol. anyway the "lore" was just me and her doing a huge game of hide and seek in a roblox game asfdjgdfsjdnf. legit i was hunting her for about 4 hours

i genuinely have no idea-- maybe VORE?? i mean i have this little friend group on here that likes it and i'm in a community that likes it but if i walk up to someone irl and say "hey i like people eating other people alive :D" then i don't think it'd end well LMAO

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THESE LOVELY QUESTIONS! HAVE A BRICK! HAVE TWO! 🧱🧱

Hi ! Do you write mlb fics?🤗

I do! I'm working on a gabenath fic, a crossover fic between trollhunters/tales of arcadia and mlb post ny special, and a bit of Lukanette fics.

I started to do the Lukanette Month back in June, but I got burnt out and haven't really finished any fics that I started though I have been meaning to get back into writing them!

Thank you for asking!

So, I have been really obsessed with Sense and Sensibility since April. And today because it was a person's birthday that requested a specific pairing (spoilers) I started writing them and am hooked.

Today I posted the first chapter:

📃 Ever written something inspired by someone elses fic?

Actually yes! My fic was inspired by this fic by @isolacaramella let me tell you I am so happy it was!

And my fic was inspired by @weirddreamergirl art piece here!

To be honest I miss writing for Jaime and Brienne, but the muse has been inactive for a while on that score. And I try and think of them fondly, but for now we've said goodbye until we say hello again.

My #1 post of 2022

Rereading Sense and Sensibility and the more I read the more I'm assured that Eilnor should have ended up with Colonel Brandon instead of Edward.

From the first of their aquantience she has been in his corner, and has declared very passionately as well as logically to Marianne in his defense of character. And furthermore when Willoughby makes fun of him declaring him a man that "all like but none take notice of" seems to only make her defend him all the more.

Thoughts for later.

11, 22, 29 and 30 for the ask game

Thanks so much for the ask! <3

Let's see...

11: A WIP I'd like to finish someday...

Oh god, I have SO MANY. I think there are 2 that are at the absolute top of my list that are actually very close to completion. Sympathy Pain is one I've been working on since like, Feb... It's probably my fav thing I've ever written, and it's been sitting in limbo at 95% complete since about March. T_T (It literally hurts so bad to sit on this) The other is a 5 part series of oneshots. It's a sexy, dark, gritty Enemies AU. The first part is finished, the 2nd is half done, and the others are framed out. I had to put everything on pause when I joined this year's MLB Big bang though.

22: Do I worry about public reaction and how do I get past that?

I really have no shame, I guess! Hahaha. I like to write mature themes. Adult themes, and though I haven't posted too many, I'm sitting on a lot of content right now, haha. The thing is, that I really want people to read and like my stuff, and if they don't like what I put out then... well, I don't care XD Like I do, I guess. but not everyone enjoys 'adult' content and that's just fine. But anyone who's gonna be an ass about it can eat tacks, hahaha It's not just adult content either. I gravitate towards dark and painful things. I like to torture the blorbos. I'm not above writing a bittersweet or even bitter ending. Of course I love them and want them to be happy, but sometimes things don't end well for everyone! Some people can't stand that.

29: How easy is it for me to come up with titles?

Generally, I'm not too bad with it. I've come up with some great titles pretty quickly/easily. I also have people in my life I can bounce Ideas off of. But not every fic is that easy to title. Like the enemies AU I'm working on. I have a name for the first, completed part. I have yet to come up with a series name. ><

30: Share a fic I'm particularly proud of:

Oh please, give this a chance. It's really dark/bleak depressing, so I get that it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But my god, I love this fic SO much. It also kinda plays out like a mystery; you don't really know what's going on until you do. And when you do, it's got that 'heart sinking' feeling. (Or at least I hope it does) This is probably one of the most poetic, heartbreaking, deeply emotional things I've ever written.

[insipidenvy]

hiii buka!! 📝 and❔from that wip question post, if you dont mind hehe :33

Hiii Kris!! I completely forgot I queued some ask posts lol but I don't mind at all :33

📄What’s a WIP you never finished that you would like to go back and revisit?

Around the same time as "They're Stupid(ly in Love), Your Honor!" was written, I'd been writing a Mother's Day fic based on the song "Slipping Through My Fingers" by ABBA! It's about a Modern AU focusing on the Yugi Family with Yugi Mama as the POV character! But finals were upon me and I also had to deal with some move-out/graduation stuff so I never managed to finish it by Mother's Day :( I hope I can finish it one day, though, since that piece is written with my mother in mind and even though she doesn't read my stories anymore I hope that, if she ever sees it, she knows how much her support means to me!

❔Choose a random WIP and talk about it.

I've been trying to write for other fandoms for a while but I'm still taking summer classes despite having graduated so I haven't had the time to really write anything 😅This one is for Ensemble Stars, which I've written for before but not around the characters or genres I've posted about previously. It started as a silly Megamind vibes kind of fic but somehow the plot made it into an MLB "suspension of disbelief" fic and I honestly don't know what to do/where to go from there considering the recent finale of said show lol Should I run with it or should I dial it back a bit and try to make things more serious... 🤔

Thanks for the ask, Kris!

ask away!

[peachcitt]

any wips you'd like to share 👀👀👀

AKSJSJ IM A CLOWN I didn’t see the ask meme you rb-ed,,,, how about 17

DKJGSJH it’s okay i’ll do both

one wip im working on is a mlb radio rebel au,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you have any questions direct them to my lawyer i have nothing more to say (JUST KIDDING it’s just so dumb and it’s actually gonna be a decently long fic and im just ksjdfghljshl)

if you’d like to know more about it: marinette is a radio show host who goes by the moniker ‘ladybug.’ adrien is a very sweet pop singer who really just wants to make music with his bffs in a band called The Black Cats.

and for 17 - a fic that’s still in the idea stage: a banana fish modern college au in which ash and eiji are suitemates (ash and alex are roomies/eiji and shorter are roomies; their rooms are connected by a bathroom). i haven’t thought of a plot i just have a vision of eiji getting dressed after a shower, wearing like. sweatpants and absolutely zero shirt and ash walkin in and just Freezing. error messages playing in his head. i think that’d be neat

thank u so much for asking ily :”)
