#but the rest are nerds and i love them for it 😂

[starleska]

bahahaha please this is the silliest kind of character to be attracted to but they get me every time!!!! some old, uncool dweeb who cannot let go of the past (or is physically transported from his time) and who dresses and behaves according to the style and culture he treasures the most. he’s obnoxious, does silly dances, and is unerringly horny for reasons no one can explain 🥴 what is wrong with me 🙈

[emthimofnight]

We have heights, we have voices....now we need a run down on the Siblings personality! Then the trilogy will be complete...and then I can (affectionately) release Stellar from my 6 star basement of adorableness.

HAHAHA OKAY!! I will do as you ask for the safe return of my baby girl 🙏

Void

Confident, calculating, and unnerving.

Rarely without a smile on his face.

Has the energy of an apex predator. Unflinchingly comfortable in spite of any danger, having never known what it feels like to be prey.

Strongest out of his siblings and the leader of their little trio.

Manipulative and power hungry.

His creators have no real control over him. They've created a monster.

Views life as a game and himself as the main character. Doesn't recognize other people as actual people, only as pawns for him to play with. If they don't play the game they way he likes, he breaks them.

Taller than both Sonic and Shadow. Doesn't view either of them as parents, only genetic donors.

He sees Shadow in particular as his prototype.

Only acknowledges other people as important if they have great power or something that he recognizes as stand-out.

Has never known defeat nor fear. Both of these things have the power to shatter his world view.

His siblings are afraid of him for good reason.

Who is to say what his sexuality is??? Probably power-sexual. 😂 He would only ever be attracted to someone based off of strength or what they could offer him.

Andromeda

Short-tempered, snide, and bitter.

A gloomy person over all, almost always in a perpetual state of scowling.

The emotional core of the failed experiment trio. Does her best to keep Void and Polarity from killing each other.

Deeply envious of Stellar and her happy relationship with Sonic and Shadow. Wonders why she wasn't found and whisked away to a better life.

Awful self-esteem. Knows she is unhappy with her life in Cosmic Labs, but doesn't see any way out. At least she has a place she belongs if she stays inside the box that was made for her.

Cares for both Void and Polarity, but doubts if Void returns that sentiment. She and Polarity are close, getting along well when they are alone.

Pressured by their creators to get Void to behave. Since they cannot punish him, Andromeda and Polarity are often punished in his stead.

Secretly craves love, affection, and praise. Despite this, she chooses to fight Stellar whenever they encounter one another instead of accepting her offerings of sisterhood.

If she had to pick between Void or Polarity, she'd pick Polarity.

She is a lesbian!

Polarity

Hot-headed, resentful, and explosive.

The weakest of the siblings (including Stellar) and he knows it. Only outdoes them in speed.

Has an extremely tumultuous relationship with Void. He is constantly trying to prove himself to their creators, but is outshone by his elder brother.

Despite this, he trains harder than either of his siblings, and is often covered in bandages from overworking himself.

Takes the most after Sonic despite everything, and is a fun-loving, quick-witted, and gentle person at his core. If isolated and given enough time to open up, he is actually very sweet.

Only ever confides in Andromeda, and cares about her deeply. He will often step in and take punishments in her stead.

A closeted nerd. Has a stash of old comic books that were given to him by a generous lab worker that he has read cover to cover countless times. He could quote any scene from memory.

Often speaks out against Void and his methods. Void has gotten very good a tuning him out on missions.

Lowest chaos energy reading of all Project Stellar experiments, but cannot be beat in willpower and determination. Notable for his inability to ever give up.

Has constant dark circles around his eyes from lack of sleep and stress. Rarely ever rests.

He is bisexual!

Original post with Stellar's failed lab sibs if they had survived:

[ashwhowrites]

AHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REQUESTS TO OPEN UP!!!!! I’m obsessed with your writing 😩 (I apologize in advanced for my gibberish below for I am VERY high 😂)

Anywho (and you can totally ignore this if it’s not your cup of tea):

Would you possibly do an angst to fluff Eddie x reader fic where maybe instead of reader being the popular one, it was Eddie instead? Like instead of everyone hating on hellfire, they think it’s super cool and so Eddie is super popular and reader is like a quiet nerd. And like reader has a big crush on Eddie and Eddie knows but always makes fun of her for it because of his reputation but he secretly likes her too and then the events of the upside down happen? Like maybe it’s reader who lures the bats away instead of Eddie but Eddie saves the reader before she dies from the bats and he admits that he likes her back and they start dating?

Again, if it’s not your cup of tea you can totally ignore it but you’re the only person I feel like would do something magical with this.

I'm honored you believe I can do something magical with this. I hope I won you over.

I think this might be my favorite Eddie fic to date. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻

⚠️it ends happy and I like the ending. So don't complain in the comments about "she shouldn't have taken him back" it's fiction and sometimes we just want things to work out so for this fic, leave that opinion to yourself. Saying that in the kindest way I can❤️

To die for

Y/N wasn't the type to hang out with the popular crowd. She kept her distance and didn't interact with anyone. She focused on her studies and getting into the best school offered. No one wanted to stay in Hawkins, and she worked to get her ticket out.

Then she got a little distracted, and she hated to admit it.

Eddie Munson, the leader of hellfire. He was a punk, loved music, and caught the eyes of every girl. Y/N didn't see the attraction until they got paired to do an assignment in music class.

She twiddled her thumbs nervously when he walked over. She inhaled his cologne as he pulled out the chair next to her, his bright smile flashed her way as his cheeks scrunched. He was the only popular kid in music, and she was terrified to be paired with him.

But as they worked together, they talked about themselves. It turned out they had a lot in common. While the assignment was boring research, she couldn't help but be excited to go to music every day. The assignment was a huge part of their grade so the teacher gave them a month's worth of class to work on it. It didn't take more than one class for Y/N to be just as smitten with Eddie.

~~~

"I hate that we couldn't pick which musician to research. Like why can't we do Dio?" Y/N mumbled as she began to write down notes.

Eddie never lifted his head so fast, he looked away from the computer towards Y/N. Her eyes were on her paper.

"You listen to Dio?" Eddie let out a breathy laugh. He was shocked, to say the least. He never thought the cute nerd would listen to a band like that.

"Who doesn't," Y/N laughed, she finished writing the sentence and looked up. She gulped when she noticed Eddie's warm eyes staring at her. A smile of adoration on his face, it made her stomach flip.

"Damn, there's more than just brains and beauty to you, huh?" Eddie joked as he went back to the computer. His words repeated in Y/N's head as she sat stunned. Did he just admit she was pretty?

~~~

Y/N cleaned her room at a rapid pace. Eddie was going to be over any minute and she was terrified. She was positive Eddie had seen the inside of many girl's bedrooms and she did not want to leave a bad impression compared to the rest.

~

"Can we take a break? My eyes hurt." Eddie groaned as he fell back against her soft bed.

"Sure, I'll grab us some water." Y/N offered, as she went out of the room. Eddie stood up, and his socks landed on the soft carpet. He walked around her room. He took in her huge collection of books, many he never heard of before. He looked at her wall of music. Band posters were on the walls and cassettes were neatly placed on a shelf. He had to admit, she had great music taste.

Her closet was cracked open, and Eddie couldn't fight the urge. He cringed as the door creaked as he opened it.

"Pretty girl," Eddie smiled as he grabbed the acoustic guitar that leaned against the wall.

"What are you doing?"

Eddie jumped but kept a tight grip on the neck of the guitar.

"Uh, sorry. I was snooping." Eddie confessed, "You play?"

Y/N blushed at the thought of him snooping, embarrassed of what he found and thought.

"I've always wanted to, but I'm not very good. One of the things I couldn't teach myself." Y/N laughed sadly.

"Sit, I'll teach you," Eddie said, he sat on her bed

"Um, are you sure?"

"Pretty girl in my lap as I teach her the thing I love? Yeah, I'm sure." He smirked as she slowly walked over. She sat the water down on her side table.

She coughed as she sat on the bed, next to him.

"Can't teach you all the way over there," he teased, she swallowed her nerves when he moved behind her. He placed the guitar in her lap and wrapped his arms around her.

"You smell nice," Eddie said against her ear. Y/N felt her tongue go numb, too nervous to respond.

She placed her fingers on the guitar and Eddie's ghosted over hers. She tried to focus on his directions and movements, but his breath hitting her neck sent her somewhere down south.

After an hour, she successfully could play a few chords.

"That a girl," Eddie praised as he placed the guitar to the side. "Unfortunately, I have to go home."

"Oh um yeah, thanks for teaching me," Y/N said shyly as Eddie put on his jacket.

"Pleasure is all mine," Eddie winked.

Y/N stared at the spot where he once stood for what felt like hours.

~~~

After spending a full month together, Y/N didn't want it to end. Their assignment was turned in, and now they didn't have a reason to see each other.

Y/N found a way. She sat on the phone all night trying to win tickets to the Dio concert, on Friday night. She scored the tickets and couldn't wait to tell Eddie the exciting news. She raced through the halls spotted his curly hair and headed his way.

"Eddie!" She said excitedly as she bounced on her feet. She ignored all the friends surrounding him. Her eyes were on his. She felt her excitement dissolve when Eddie's eyes looked panicked. He looked at her and his friends, she swore he looked like he was going to throw up.

"Yo dude, who's this?" one of his friends said as the group laughed and nudged Eddie's arm.

"Some type of little girlfriend?" Another one was added on

Y/N blushed at the thought of being Eddie's girlfriend. It wasn't like she didn't think about it with all the flirting and soft touches.

But Y/N ignored in and continued.

"I scored tickets to Dio! This Friday night, you and me?" She was proud of herself for making it through the sentence without shaking.

Eddie's friends laughed....loud

Their screeches could be heard blocks down from the school. But she kept her focus on Eddie. He stood frozen. He didn't say a word as he stared back at her.

"Oh, how cute. Little nerd has a crush on ya, Munson!"

"Looks like someone has a date on Friday."

"Atta boy, another one on the list."

"I uh..uh" Eddie stuttered

"Do you think he's actually going to say yes?"

The crowd around them got bigger as the school watched.

Y/N felt his friend's words stab her in the chest. Now she felt like she wanted to throw up. Her eyes watered as she looked around, everyone was staring and waiting for Eddie's reaction.

"Are you going to say something?" She meant it as a question, but it sounded like a plea. Like she was pleading him to tell them they were wrong and that they had something. That their moments meant something to him.

Y/N saw the Eddie she knew disappear in his eyes, and she knew he was going to land the final blow. She stepped back as she tried to brace herself.

"Do I know you?" Eddie asked, he pretended to look confused as his friends laughed.

"Eddie, don't," she whimpered, but it didn't matter. It was popularity or her, and she knew it wasn't a fighting chance.

"Look, sweetheart. I am flattered, but there is no way in hell I'd ever go out with you." Eddie smirked as his friends nudged him and they all fist-bumped behind his back.

Y/N didn't say a word, she nodded sadly and turned around. She pushed through the crowd as the tears slipped down.

"Oh, poor baby is even crying!" A girl's voice announced, then laughs followed.

Y/N shoved the tickets in the trash before she ran out.

Eddie was dead to her.

~

Eddie gulped as she raced off. His friends still hyped him up as he felt the hallways closing in on him. He stepped forward as she threw the tickets in the trash, but he stopped.

He felt guilty, he felt so fucking guilty. He wanted more than anything to spend his Friday night singing along to his favorite band with the cutest girl he'd ever met. To hold her hand as they walked in, to dance like idiots during their favorite song, and to talk about it for days after.

But he panicked. He wasn't supposed to like someone like her.

~~~

After Y/N embarrassed herself in front of the whole school, her life went to hell.

She couldn't walk in the halls without people laughing and pointing.

She dreaded music class. She kept her head down whenever she walked in, she felt his eyes burn into her. But she refused to look in his direction. She should have known Eddie would only like her behind her bedroom door. She should have known he was incapable of liking her shamelessly.

The cafeteria was loud as Y/N walked to her table, Robin was already sitting and picking at her lunch.

"Hey Y/N!"

Y/N looked over her shoulder, she groaned when she realized it was coming from Eddie's table.

"Turns out Eddie does wanna see Dio!"

Y/N looked to Eddie who kept his head down. She looked back at his friend confused.

"Just with a hot cheerleader, not you!"

The table erupted in laughter as she bit her lip. She knew Eddie wouldn't speak up so she turned around and walked to her table.

"I'm sorry they are dicks," Robin said as Y/N sat down.

"It's whatever." Y/N shrugged

"Um Y/N?"

Y/N looked up and was shocked to see Eddie standing there. She looked behind him and noticed his table was watching.

"Yeah?" She asked quietly, it hurt to even look at him.

"I'm so sorry for everything," he whispered.

"Is it like a trap?" she asked confused, as she suspiciously looked back at his table.

"No, I just re-"

"Whatcha doing here, lover boy?" Eddie's friend appeared next to him.

"I was...umm" Eddie nervously stuttered, the panic in his body again. He looked at Y/N's sad face and back to his friend's accusing one.

"Not trying to talk her up, are you?" His friend asked with a chuckle.

"No, of course not! I was just telling her to stop calling me. Chick won't leave me alone." Eddie faked laughed. His friend seemed to believe him, laughing with him, as they walked back to their table.

Eddie looked over his shoulder and mouthed "Sorry" but Y/N rolled her eyes.

~~~

Even if Eddie agreed to go to the concert, he wouldn't have been able to go.

Instead of sulking in his room about his poor decisions, he was stuck in the upside down.

"Dustin and Eddie you go to the trailer and lure them to you. Then the second the bats come, get back inside the trailer. Do not come out!" Steve said, his finger pointed at Dustin.

The group went to their positions and prayed their plan would work.

~

"QUICK WE NEED TO CREATE MORE NOISE TO LURE THE BATS AWAY FROM EDDIE AND DUSTIN!" Steve screamed.

"I KNOW WHAT TO DO!" Robin yelled as she grabbed the radio.

~

A panicked Dustin screamed over the radio as the bats began to chip parts of the trailer away. Eddie tried to swallow his fear but he knew this was it. He lived his life, did he have any regrets? So damn many.

He hated that he couldn't fix things with Y/N. He hated that she wouldn't get the closure she deserved, she wouldn't get the apology Eddie had been practicing for weeks.

If he knew his life was going to end so short, he wouldn't have wasted it on popularity. He would have picked her.

Eddie closed his eyes as he felt the cold air rush in, the bats were loud as they began to swarm into the trailer. He cried out as the bats clawed and nipped at his skin. He yelled for Dustin to run and not stop.

Eddie wasn't sure who to pray to but he did. He prayed as his clothes were torn and he felt blood rushing down his chest.

Then suddenly, the bats stopped.

A loud ring of music began to blast, Eddie knew he left his guitar on the top, and the sound wasn't coming from it.

The bats raced out and chased the sound.

"Who's doing that?" Dustin asked

"I have no idea. You okay?" Eddie asked, checking on him before he grabbed his weapons.

"Yes. Let's go!" Dustin said as he climbed out of the trailer.

Along with the bats, Eddie and Dustin raced. Eddie ran as fast as he could and Dustin jumped on his bike.

Eddie ignored all the pain he felt as he kept running. As he got closer, he realized it wasn't a song. It was the same few chords over and over.

And Eddie knew those chords.

Eddie felt even more panic in his chest as he guessed who was playing it. In a selfish way, he hoped it was someone else. It was wrong but he prayed it was someone in the group, and not her.

"WHO IS THAT?" Dustin screamed as he threw down his bike and prepared his weapons.

"It's Y/N," Eddie gulped as his eyes took in the sight of Y/N playing the guitar. She didn't have any protection, simply standing in her normal clothes as she risked herself for everyone stuck in the upside down.

For a second, everything was silent. The guitar stopped. Eddie's eyes caught hers. Both stared at each other as time slowed.

"I FORGIVE YOU!" Y/N screamed, the tears flowed down her cheeks as she threw the guitar to the ground.

"NO!" Eddie screamed, but it was too late. The bats already found her. Her body was taken to the ground as she screamed in horror.

"GET HELP!" Eddie screamed at Dustin, he didn't look back at him. He just ran to her.

He started swinging everywhere, he heard thuds and screeches. Eddie used every ounce of anger and hurt that his body held as motivation to swing the shit out of these blood suckers. The agony screams coming from Y/N's lips made him move faster.

Dustin called for help on the radio, he wasn't going to leave them alone. He quickly joined Eddie and began to swing.

Eddie didn't have time to yell at him, in the moment he was grateful the kid didn't listen to him. Together they cleared the path towards her. Eddie thought he felt the greatest amount of fear, but when her screams stopped he knew he was wrong.

~

Y/N felt like she finally caught her breath. She gasped as her eyes opened. Bright white lights shined above her that caused her to shut them again.

"Y/N?" She heard a relieved voice say then a warm hand intertwined with hers.

She slowly opened her eyes, a familiar brown eyes looked back at her. He was covered in dirt, blood stained clothes but he still was the prettiest man she'd ever seen.

"Hm, even in heaven you look the same." She said, her voice cracking with every word.

Eddie laughed and grabbed some water. He softly put it against her lips and helped her lift her head to drink.

"Well you haven't made it there yet." Eddie joked. "You had all of us scared."

Y/N looked around the room, but no one else was there. "You are the only one here."

Eddie scratched his head, "they were, but the nurse said only one person at a time, and well I called dibs for six hours." He said as he looked at his watch.

"Why?" She asked, from what she's learned he wanted nothing to do with her.

"I know it's incredibly hard to believe, but I have feelings for you. I know I've been a dick to you and I'm sorry for all the pain I caused. It's pathetic that it took you nearly dying to grow balls and be honest. But before you showed up, I was positive I was going to die. And all I thought about in that moment was how you deserved an apology and that I regretted not taking my chance with you." Eddie confessed. His hands were still in hers as he sat on the chair next to her bed. His eyes were red, and his cheeks were wet.

"It is pathetic, Munson." Y/N snapped, but she kept her hands in his. His touch was warm and soft, a feeling that reminded her she was still alive.

Her heart wanted to hug him and cry. But her head wanted her to keep her pride and tell him to fuck off.

"Did you mean it? When you said you forgave me?" Eddie choked out, sniffling back his tears.

"I prepared to die and I didn't want to ruin your life even more." Y/N confessed, sadness flood through her body as she remembered how worthless she felt because of him. He was the only person in her life that made her feel loved, but hated at the same time. In the end, that was the only experience she had with love and she was okay to die with that in mind because at least it was someone she'd die for.

"You never ruined my life!" Eddie promised, his wet lips kissed her hand as he sobbed. "You are a gift in my life, okay? I've never felt so happy around someone and so alive. I'm an idiot and I made all the wrong decisions. But I swear on my life, I'll make this up to you if you give me a chance. I love you."

Y/N snapped her head as she felt her heart race. The machine gave it away as it beeped.

"You love me?" She whispered, tears flowing down her face as she looked into his eyes.

The Eddie she knew was behind them.

"So damn much. I know I don't deserve anything and I definitely don't deserve you. But I'll do it all right this time. It'll be us and that's all I want."

"Is that why you saved me?" She choked out, she remembered his arms carrying her as he screamed for help. The fear in his eyes and the panic in his voice. He didn't have to come save her, but he did.

"The second I heard those chords, my heart fell out of my chest and my only goal was to get to you before the bats did. I'm very angry with Robin for putting you in that position, but she knew you'd do it to save me. And you deserve someone who'd save you back."

Y/N didn't say anything, she unlaced her hand from Eddie's. He tried to ignore the disappointment he felt.

She sat up slowly then placed her hands on Eddie's cheeks, before he knew it, she leaned in and smashed her lips on his. He felt his stomach flip a thousand times as he reached forward to hold her waist. He kissed her back with everything he had left in him. The kiss tasted of blood and dirt, but it was the best kiss he's ever had.

After a few moments, she pulled away and gasped for air. Eddie leaned his forehead against hers, his eyes still closed as he tried to memorize the feeling of her lips on his.

"I love you too." She whispered, before her lips attached to his again.

Eddie meant everything he said. He was going to prove he was worthy of her and her love.

✨ Thank you for being in the fandom! ✨

Being here, you have contributed so much and have made so many people happy and excited. Now, just so we can get to know you better:

What made you first read the books, and which SJM series did you begin with first?

What character across all of her books do you relate to the most and why?

What inspired you to begin contributing to the fandom (i.e., fanfics, artwork, commissions, analysis, all of the above, or something else?)

Are there any accounts that you’d like to shoutout that have either inspired you, or made you feel the most welcomed and loved here?

💕 Thank you again for all that you do 💕

Awwwww thank you 💕

1. What made you first read the books, and which series did you begin with?

I found ACOTAR on tiktok in 2022. I remember that it was the same time the Barnes and Noble SF exclusive edition came out because I was buying one book at a time as I read and when I got to SF I was going to get the exclusive B&N edition but it was black and it didn’t match the rest of my copies haha. I read CC after I finished ACOTAR and officially joined the fanbase via a discord server around the same time.

2. What character across all of her books do you relate to the most and why?

I relate to both Nesta and Elain. Nesta has a lot of feelings of self-hatred which I relate to, and I think her mental health journey is very relatable and inspiring. I relate to Elain because she’s very much a people pleaser who keeps her thoughts to herself. I love both of them so much and I’m so excited for Elain’s journey because I just know she’ll be even more relatable.

3. What inspired you to begin to contribute to the fandom?

I have been writing for years but I always kept it to myself because idk, I kind of treated writing as an extreme version of daydreaming and I felt like daydreaming was embarrassing 😂😭 but I work so hard on ACOEAS for nearly three years and I was inspired by writing friends I met online both inside the fanbase and outside the fanbase, so I got the courage to finally post my stuff! I think accepting that you’re a nerd among nerds is so helpful: we’re all passionate and in love with these ships and characters, and when you talk to likeminded people, you just feel inspired. Both @zenkindoflove , @fierling , and two friends outside the fanbase were the first to read my writing and give me advice and encouragement, and that was so helpful.

And for art, I always was into art, I have been doing art classes for so many years. But art school really destroyed my mental health and creativity, so I dropped out and fell into a 6 year art slump where I couldn’t finish ANY of my projects. I felt so disheartened and sad, but I really think fanbases help with creativity and inspiration. I have so many headcanons and characters and ships I’m passionate about, so I felt compelled to get back into drawing and painting. Getting my drawing tablet for Christmas was an absolute game changer, and so many of my friends and mutuals are so encouraging and inspiring! @jadedbugart is so creative and has the same passion for Pinterest as I do and her pumping out so many gorgeous watercolor sketches was so motivating! And @bonecarversbestie ‘s organization, passion, and humor is so enjoyable and inspiring, @works-of-heart is incredibly talented, and I wish I could paint that gorgeous glowing lighting she always has in her art, and @fierling ‘s talent and expertise is such an amazing help!

4. Are there any accounts that you’d like to shoutout that have either inspired you, or made you feel the most welcomed and loved here?

I did a few shoutouts but I have so many more!!

hi!! how are you? i hope you are having a lovely day and staying hydrated.

i just would like to request a tobio x fem!reader where reader is the younger sister of oikawa and because of the "bad blood" between the two, she gets tired and lectures them about how they should stop their petty fight and, at least, be civilized with each other. (though oikawa is mainly the petty one 😂)

it's a bit messy, so it's okay if you don't decide it or completely change the plot.

btw, i absolutely love your fics!!! and i definitely am a fan of yours!!!

ᴋᴀɢᴇʏᴀᴍᴀ ᴛᴏʙɪᴏ x ꜰᴇᴍ! ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ

The Karasuno Boys volleyball team were excited to be invited to the Karasuno’s Girls volleyball tournament. The tournament was called ‘Spring Days’, it was showcasing the popular teams of Japan and they couldn't wait to see all the cute girls there.

Then they were all smacked in the face when Kageyama offhandedly said that he wouldn’t be there to support the Karasuno girls. 

“What do you mean you’re not going to support them! They always support us!” Hinata shouted at his grumpy teammate. The orange haired male was currently shaking the life out of Kageyama. 

Then Kageyama scowled and began wrestling Hinata as he said, “Because I would be betraying someone important to me. She plays for Shiratorizawa.” 

“Eh?” Hinata stopped shaking Kageyama and just stared at him blankly while being held in a chokehold by said male. Then he whispered so the rest of the boys practicing wouldn’t hear them, “Someone important? Like a girlfriend?” 

“Is that a problem?” Kageyama casually asked, pushing Hinata away. He picked up his drink and started gulping down the water in his plastic bottle. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and shrugged his shoulders, “It’s a good thing I get a free ride there, but don’t expect me to cheer for our school.” 

“We are there to support our team, Kageyama,” Sawamura crossed his arms over his chest and glared down at the young teen with his dad stare, “And if I don’t hear you cheer for them, you will not set for two games- no three games.” 

Kageyama deflated and looked off to the side in thought. You would understand the punishment he was getting and would want him to do what’s best for him. But your attitude was going to be different during the game. “Fine, but if our school faces Shiratorizawa, you’re gonna wish I cheered for her instead.” 

The boys watched as the volleyball nerd went over to the net getting ready to practice some sets. They had no idea what he meant by that and left to join him for practice. 

…..

Saturday came quicker than the boys anticipated, nonetheless they sported the Karasuno jackets and walked into the large stadium with giant smiles on their faces. They all loved the feeling they got walking up to the court, so sometimes it was weird for them to be watching and being the supporting students. 

Kageyama was glued to his phone, messaging his girlfriend non-stop. Hinata would definitely peek over Kageyama’s shoulder, but he would always be pushed away with a hand in front of his face. The boys were seated in the first row and had an amazing view of the court. 

Kageyama was doing perfectly fine until he heard his rival speaking from afar. “Ah, the poor little trashy crows have to play against my amazing little sister. I can only imagine how giant the point difference is going to be.” 

Kageyama looked to his left to see two empty seats. That was until that annoying voice still praising his sister got closer. His dark blue eyes looked up to see brown ones glaring at him. Then another male popped up from behind the curly brown haired person.

 “Ah, Kageyama, you’re here to support [Name] as well?” Iwaizumi asked, walking in front of Oikawa and greeting the stumped black haired male. 

Kageyama bowed his head then said, “No, I’m not allowed to cheer for her or else I won’t be a setter for three games.” 

Iwaizumi sat down next to him and chuckled, “I get it and I’m sure she would as well. Did you tell her?” The older teen got comfortable and looked at his old teammate. 

“I’m afraid she’s going to give the Karasuno girls a hard time if I did,” Kageyama admitted with his eyes directed hard at the ground. 

A loud laugh caught their attention and Oikawa leaned back into his seat with a smug smile on his face. “[Name] is so going to crush your trashy team solo! If I were you, I would tell your other halves to forfeit now.” 

Iwaizumi elbowed Oikawa’s rib cage causing the male to lurch forward with a holler. Before Kageyama could agree with his rival, his loud teammates came into the picture with heated glares, “What makes your snotty sister so special, huh?” Tanaka shouted while Nishinoya stood behind him with a fist in the air, “Ten bucks, our team does the crushing instead!” 

“Deal!” Oikawa shouted back with one hand holding his side while Iwaizumi shook his head from the lack of awareness these idiots had. The usually grumpy male leaned over to Kageyama and whispered, “You do know that your team is going to make trashykawa super rich after this game?” 

Kageyama crossed his arms over his chest and grumbled back, “I tried to warn them.” 

“Welcome all to the Spring Days tournament where talented ladies from all over Japan showcase their volleyball skills.” 

The female announcer excitedly proclaimed in her microphone. The males couldn’t focus on what she was saying because a new group arrived behind them and this group wasn’t going to go unnoticed. 

“Oh my, is that Oikawa Tooru? The big brother of our baby eagle, [Name]?” 

Kageyama peeked a glance at his rival and saw the instant disgust on the male’s face which caused a bit of happiness to appear on his own face. Kageyama thought this was a perfect karma moment for the smug male. 

“You do well to address my little sister by her last name. Just because she trains with that guy, doesn’t mean you cannot show her or myself some respect!” Oikawa pointed at a very tall third year student. 

Ushijima looked down at Oikawa with his eyes and stated, “Your sister likes the nickname the team gave her and she has all our respect because of her skills. At least she took my advice to join the girls team at Shiratorizawa unlike you. She’s being nurtured if that’s what you care about.” 

“Don’t word it like that, it makes you sound like a pervert! Also that’s because I don’t want to be your teammate! You’re the one that brainwashed my poor sister! I should have persuaded her to spend her time elsewhere!” 

“What, like Karasuno?” Tendou snidely said with a snicker. 

Kageyama could feel the tension from his captain and vice captain as Daichi spoke up with a fake smile on his face. The third year Karasuno male turned around and asked Tendou with that cheap smile, “Something wrong with Karasuno?”

Tendou hummed and shrugged his shoulders, “Ehh~ You don’t really see people with skill choose Karasuno unless they’re rejects,” He looked at the back of Kageyama’s head, “Or useless dreamers.” He stared at the rest owlishly. 

“That’s enough out of your mouth,” Semi joined in and told everyone to focus on the game which is about to start. Everyone had their feathers ruffled up in some way and it was because of their snide remarks to one another. 

“For our first game, we have Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa! Please welcome them to the court!” 

Kageyama pulled out his backpack from under his chair and everyone looked at him suspiciously. He didn’t pay attention to their questioning glares as his eyes were on a girl who looked around the arena for him. Of course, your knees were not covered by your usual white and purple knee pads. 

It only took another minute for you to find him and you ran over to the stands with a giant grin on your face.

 “Tobio, thank you so much for bringing them! I forgot I left them at your place!” You huffed out and sat down in front of his backpack digging in it without any permission. You found your knee pads and took them out with a sigh of relief. “You just saved me from running ten laps back home.” 

“It’s no problem at all,” Kageyama responded with a gentle smile on his face as he admired your look. The rest of his teammates were baffled by the look of his face and how pretty you were. You seemed kind, way kinder than your older brother. 

You slipped your knee pads over your shoes and comfortably on your knees. You looked up at Tobio and blushed at the soft look he was giving you, but you could tell he wanted to tell you something. “Is something wrong, Tobio?” 

“Yes!” Your brother shouted standing up from the bleachers, “He’s not going to cheer for you! But don’t worry, you have me!” 

“And us!” Tendou shouted from a row behind. You laughed and pushed yourself up from the floor. You weren’t going to tell them that you didn’t notice them because of your attention to your boyfriend. 

“Is there a reason why you’re not going to cheer for me, Tobio?” You asked with a pout on your face and he stood up immediately to comfort you. You loved this about him, he was pretty shy, but he made sure to keep you happy. 

He looked at his team then to you and explained, “They didn’t believe me when I said that my girlfriend plays for Shiratorizawa and said that if I didn’t cheer for the Karasuno girls then I wouldn’t set for three games.” 

You laughed and gave Kageyama a quick hug pushing him gently back onto his seat, “Eh, don’t worry Tobio. I was just teasing you. I know I will always have your support! Anyways, what’s the bet?” 

“You know about the bet?” Hinata questioned bewildered by your psychic abilities and you scoffed with a smirk on your face as you gestured over to your older brother, “Please, if my brother doesn’t force someone to bet on my skills then he’s not my Tooru.” 

“We bet ten dollars,” Oikawa said and leaned back while Iwaizumi shook his head in exaggeration. 

Then you rolled your eyes and fixed your knee pads a bit while saying, “I would have gone higher, older brother. But that’s okay, I hope to see you all in the finals.” You winked at Kageyama and shouted over your shoulder as you walked away, “I better not hear the both of you talking smack to one another. It throws me off my game!” 

Oikawa sat back in his spot and glared at Kageyama, “Why were her knee pads at your place?”

Kageyama shrugged his shoulders and zipped up his bag. The words from you not even seconds ago being forgotten because of a cruel idea in his head. He was tired of Oikawa and this was for sure going to get him riled up.

Kageyama turned his head and smirked at Oikawa, “Maybe because she spends most of her time on her knees.” 

“I dare you to say that again!” Oikawa shouted while being held back by Iwaizumi who had to hide his blush from his former teammate. He wasn't expecting Kageyama to be that bold!

“I meant what I said!” You shouted, giving a glare at your rambunctious brother.

As the day of the wedding approached, the anticipation and excitement grew to fever pitch. Everyone was in a whirlwind of preparations, from picking out final details to ensuring everything was perfect for the big day.

And for Jey, it was all happening at a time when his feelings for Jax were reaching a boiling point.

He found himself spending even more time with her, helping with last minute details and basking in her presence.

Every smile, every touch, every laugh was like a dagger to his heart.

But he couldn't help himself. He was drawn to her like a moth to a flame, unable to resist the pull of his growing affection. But she wouldn't want him back. Not truly.

Despite the growing tension between them, Jey did his best to maintain a facade of normalcy.

He tried to hide his true feelings, joking and laughing with the rest of the wedding party as they prepared for the big day.

But every time he caught Jax's eye, he felt a pang in his chest. He was aching to tell her how he truly felt, but the fear of rejection kept him silent.

As the hours ticked by, the time for the wedding drew near.

The venue was decorated beautifully, and the air was thick with excitement and joy.

Jey watched as Jax interacted with guests

He couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy regarding all this wedding stuff. He was happy for his cousin getting to marry Iris, the love of his life but he also wondered.. when will it be his turn?

As the wedding ceremony began, Jey took his place at the altar, next to Jimmy near Roman.

He tried to focus on the moment, but his eyes kept drifting towards Jax.

She looked absolutely stunning in her bridesmaid dress, and he couldn't help but feel his heart flutter at the sight of her. She was beautiful. She was sweet, kind, soft when she felt safe and comfortable. He was her safe and comfortable and he wanted her more than anything.

The reception was in full swing, with music and laughter filling the air.

Jey sat at the table with his friends and family, trying to enjoy the festivities.

But he couldn't shake the feeling of longing that lingered in his heart.

Every so often, he would catch himself stealing glances at Jax, admiring her from afar.

As the night went on, the dance floor filled up, and the party reached its peak.

Jey sat at the table, watching everyone have fun, feeling a mix of emotions.

As the music played on, Jax spotted Jey sitting alone at the table.

She made her way over to him, a smile on her face. "Hey," she said, her voice soft and sweet. "You're not dancing?"

Jey's heart skipped a beat as he heard her voice. He looked up at her, trying to keep his composure.

"Nah, not really in the mood," he replied, forcing a casual tone.

"Well.. We pulled off a great wedding. Maybe we do make a really good team." Jax smiled, "I might have to take Jimmy's job as your tag team partner." She joked.

Jey couldn't help but chuckle at her joke.

"Yeah, I suppose you do make a good tag team partner," he said, trying to hide the hint of sadness in his voice.

Jax noticed the hidden emotion in his tone, she reached out and touched his hand gently.

"You okay, Jey?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

Jey's heart fluttered at her touch, and he felt a rush of emotions surge through him.

He wanted to say something, anything, to let her know how he felt. But the fear of rejection kept him silent.

Instead, he just nodded, unable to meet her gaze.

The moment stretched on, and the weight of Jey's unspoken feelings became too much to bear.

He couldn't keep them bottled up any longer.

"Jax, there's something I need to tell you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jax's heart skipped a beat as she heard the seriousness in his voice.

She sat down next to him, her eyes locked on his face.

"What is it?" she asked, her own voice filled with a mix of anticipation and concern.

Jey took a deep breath, gathering his courage.

"I... I've been feeling things lately," he began, struggling to find the right words. "Feelings I never thought I'd feel."

Jax's heart was pounding in her chest as she listened to Jey's confession.

She could sense the vulnerability in his voice, and it was both thrilling and terrifying at the same time.

"I can't stop thinking about you," Jey continued, his voice trembling slightly. "You're always on my mind, and it's driving me crazy."

Jax's eyes widened in surprise as she heard Jey's words.

She hadn't expected this, and her heart was racing with a mix of emotions.

"Jey, I..." she started to say, but she couldn't find the words.

"I know our first date was a trainwreck, i know we fight like cats and dogs.. But if you just give me one do-over.." Jey says.

Jax was stunned into silence for a moment, her mind reeling from the confession.

She could hardly believe what she was hearing, but the vulnerability and sincerity in Jey's voice was undeniable.

After a moment, she found her voice again.

"One do-over?" she repeated, her eyes locked on his.

Jey nodded, his heart in his throat.

"I want to do things right this time," he said, his voice filled with determination. "I want to take you on a proper date, without the drama and without fighting."

Jax's heart skipped a beat again as she imagined the possibilities.

A proper date, with Jey. No fighting, no tension, just the two of them, enjoying each other's company.

She would have never thought about giving him a second chance before, but now...

"Okay," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

She was surprised by how quickly she had agreed, but there was no denying the flutter in her chest at the thought of being his.

Jey's eyes lit up with a mix of surprise and hope at her agreement.

"Really?" he asked, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

Jax bit her lip, feeling a rush of emotions swirling within her.

She knew that she had been denying her feelings for him for a long time, but now that he had confessed his own feelings, it was impossible to keep them hidden any longer.

"Jey," she said, taking a deep breath. "I've been falling for you too."

Jey's heart soared at her confession, and he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"You have?" he asked, his voice filled with wonder.

He couldn't believe it, but he knew that she wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true.

"I want you. I want you to cuddle, to watch movies with. I want you to take care of me. To be my Daddy Dom. If you'll have me." Jax responds the last part in a whisper. Not that anyone was paying attention to them, or could hear them over the music for that matter.

Jey's heart rate quickened even more at her confession, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He had never imagined that she would say something like that.

But as he looked at her, he could see the vulnerability in her eyes, the desire and longing that mirrored his own.

"I want all of that too," he whispered back, his voice filled with a newfound tenderness.

The tension between them was palpable, the air thick with desire and anticipation.

Jey's eyes darkened as he looked at her, his thoughts running wild with possibilities.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked, his voice low and gravelly.

Jax nodded, her heart racing with excitement and anticipation.

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jey reached out and gently pulled her into his lap, his arms wrapping around her waist possessively.

He looked into her eyes, his gaze intense and full of desire.

"Then I'm all yours," he said, his voice a husky whisper.

Meanwhile, Lele was walking through the crowded wedding reception when she suddenly collided with someone, causing them to spill a drink all over her.

She looked up, annoyed and irritated, to see Zilla, Roman's younger cousin if she wasn't mistaken.

"Watch where you're going," Lele snapped, looking down at the mess on her dress.

The alcohol was already soaking into the fabric, staining it with a large wet spot.

Zilla, to Lele's irritation, seemed completely unfazed by the incident.

He just shrugged and said, "Damn girl, my bad."

Lele scowled at his nonchalance, feeling even more annoyed that he didn't seem to care about the damage he had caused.

"Your bad? That's all you have to say?" she said, crossing her arms in frustration.

Zilla chuckled and said, "Relax, it's just a dress. I'll buy you a new one."

"I don't need your money. I don't need you to buy me anything! Now if you'll excuse me.." Lele said.

Zilla raised an eyebrow, amused by her rejection.

"Feisty one, aren't you?" he said, his eyes roaming over her body.

"Oh fuck off" Lele rolled her eyes and walked away.

Zilla watched her walk away, a smirk playing on his lips.

He couldn't deny that he was intrigued by her attitude. Yeah, he wanted that...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The reception was drawing to a close, and Jey and Jax had spent the rest of the evening together, chatting and enjoying each other's company.

They had danced together, laughed together, and stolen countless kisses. It was the most perfect evening they could have imagined. He'd even been able to almost keep up with her durring their dance, despite Jax's years of professional training.

After saying goodbye to their friends and family, Jey and Jax made their way to his car.

The drive to his house was quiet and intimate, the two of them lost in their own thoughts as they reveled in the night's events.

As they arrived at his house, Jey turned to her with a smirk.

"We're finally alone," he said, his voice low and suggestive.

Jax felt a shiver run down her spine at his words, her heart rate quickening in anticipation.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with desire and longing.

"And what do you plan on doing with that fact?" she asked, her voice sultry.

Jey smirked and leaned in closer, his breath hot against her ear.

"I have a few ideas," he whispered, his hand slowly running up her thigh.

Jax's breath hitched at his touch, her body responding instantly to his gentle caress.

She could feel the heat building between them, the tension in the air growing thicker with each passing moment.

Jey continued to tease her, his hand slowly moving higher up her thigh, his fingers tracing lazy circles on her skin.

He could feel her body trembling beneath his touch, and he knew that she was aching for more.

As they finally entered the house, Jax's patience had reached its limit.

She grabbed Jey by the collar and pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss, unable to wait any longer for what she had been craving all night.

Jey responded eagerly, his arms wrapping around her as he deepened the kiss. He pressed her against the wall, his body pressed tightly against hers as he explored her mouth with his tongue.

The kiss grew more intense, their hands roaming each other's bodies as they both gave in to their desire.

Jey began to trail kisses down her neck, his teeth gently nipping at her skin as he made his way to her collarbone.

Jax tilted her head back, giving him better access to her sensitive skin.

She moaned softly, her fingers tangling in his hair as he continued to tease her with his lips and tongue.

"Go on and strip for Daddy, baby." Jey commanded.

Jax's breath hitched at his command, her eyes widening with excitement.

She looked at him with a mixture of submission and desire, she turns glancing back over her shoulder silently asking him to help with the zipper on her dress.

Jey chuckled at her silent request, his hands moving to the zipper on the back of her dress.

He slowly unzipped it, his fingers grazing her skin as he did so.

As the dress loosened around her body, he could feel her shudder with anticipation.

With the dress now unzipped, Jax stepped out of it, standing before Jey in nothing but her black lace lingerie.

She looked at him with a mix of vulnerability and confidence, knowing that he was completely in control.

Jey's eyes raked over her body, taking in the sight of her lingerie-clad curves.

He let out a low growl of approval, his hands tracing the contours of her body as he pulled her closer.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured, his lips finding her ear once more.

He began to nibble at her earlobe, his hands moving down to her hips as he pulled her flush against him.

Jax felt her body molding against his, their skin pressing together as they held each other tightly.

She could feel the heat radiating off of him, his arousal evident through the fabric of his pants.

Jey's hands moved lower, his fingers tracing the edge of her panties.

He teased her for a moment, running his fingers along the fabric, before he suddenly grabbed her ass and squeezed it firmly.

Jax clung to him, her fingers digging into his shoulders as he continued to touch her in ways that drove her wild.

Jax let out a whimper, her body trembling as he nibbled at her neck.

She wanted him so badly, she was practically aching for him to take her right then and there.

Jey chuckled softly, enjoying the way she was responding to his every touch.

He pulled back slightly, looking at her with a mixture of desire and dominance.

"Bedroom. Now," he commanded, his voice low and authoritative.

Jax didn't hesitate, she followed his command immediately, moving quickly towards the bedroom.

She could feel his eyes on her as she walked, her hips swaying with each step as she knew he was enjoying the view.

Once they reached the bedroom, Jey wasted no time in pulling her close and began to kiss her again, his lips moving against hers in a frenzied pace.

His hands roamed over her body, exploring every inch of her skin as he claimed her mouth with his.

Jax melted into the kiss, surrendering herself completely to his touch.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer as she moaned into his mouth.

Jey broke the kiss, his lips trailing down her jawline to her neck.He began to nibble at her sensitive skin, leaving small marks as he went.

"You're mine," he whispered between kisses, his voice low and possessive.

"All mine," he repeated, his hands roaming down to her thighs as he began to lift her up.

He pinned her against the wall with his body, holding her up as he continued to tease her neck with his lips and tongue.

Jax wrapped her legs around his waist, holding on tightly as he pressed her against the wall.

She let out a soft moan as he nibbled at a particularly sensitive spot on her neck, her body arching into his touch.

Jey broke away from her neck, looking up at her with a smirk. He pulled back slightly, his eyes fixed on her as he sat her on her feet and hooked his fingers into the waistband of her panties. He tugged them down slowly, letting them fall to the floor before his hands moved to her bra.

He unclasped it, letting it fall away to reveal her bare breasts.

Jax stood before him, completely naked and vulnerable.

She felt exposed, yet also empowered by the way he was looking at her, his gaze filled with desire and lust.

Jey's hands returned to her body, caressing her bare skin as he began to explore her curves.

He traced the lines of her hips, the swell of her breasts, and the dip of her waist.

"So perfect," he murmured, his fingers trailing down to her inner thigh.

"Strip me," he commanded.

He leaned back against the wall, his eyes locked on hers as he waited for her to obey his command.

Jax felt a shiver of excitement run down her spine at his command.

She moved quickly, her hands making quick work of his clothes as she removed them piece by piece.

Once he was naked, Jey's eyes raked over her body, his gaze taking in every inch of her skin.

He looked at her with an intense hunger, his desire for her clear as he took in the sight of her standing before him, completely naked and ready for him.

Jey stepped forward and lifted her up effortlessly, carrying her to the bed before laying her down on it.

He climbed on top of her, settling himself between her legs as he began to kiss and nibble at her neck again.

Jax moaned softly as he continued to tease her, her body arching up into his touch yet again.

She could feel his erection pressing against her, a reminder of the pleasure that was about to come.

Jey began to kiss his way down her body, his lips trailing over her skin as he made his way to her chest.

He paused there, taking one of her nipples into his mouth and sucking gently.

"Mm.. Daddy!" Jax let out a gasp as he sucked at her nipple, the sensation sending a wave of pleasure through her body.

She could feel herself growing more aroused with each passing moment, her hips moving instinctively against him.

He released her nipple, continuing his path down her body, leaving a trail of kisses in his wake.

Jey positioned himself between her legs, his gaze locked on hers as he slowly pushed himself inside her.

Jax gasped as he entered her, the sensation of him filling her up completely causing her to arch her back and moan.

She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer as she adjusted to the feeling of him inside her.

Jey let out a low groan as he began to move, his hips rolling against hers in a slow, steady rhythm.

He looked down at her, watching her face as he moved inside her, enjoying the way her eyes fluttered shut and her lips parted in pleasure.

As they moved together, their bodies entwined, the room filled with the sound of their moans and gasps.

Jax clung to him tightly, her fingers digging into his tatted back as she met each of his thrusts with her own movements.

The pleasure built steadily between them, their bodies growing hotter and more desperate with each passing moment.

Jax could feel herself nearing the edge, her breath coming in short gasps as she clung to the last shreds of her control.

Jey sensed that she was close, and he quickened his pace, driving into her harder and faster.

He leaned down to whisper in her ear, his voice hoarse with desire.

"Let go, babygirl," he urged, his breath hot against her skin. "Come on Daddy's dick."

His words were like a trigger, and with a shuddering gasp, Jax let go.

She arched her back and clenched around him, her body convulsing with pleasure as she cried out his name.

Jey felt her clench around him, the sensation sending him over the edge as well.

He let out a deep groan, burying his face in her neck as he thrust into her one final time, spilling himself inside her.

They both lay there, panting and sweaty, as they came down from their high.

Jey collapsed on top of her, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he tried to catch his breath.

Jax wrapped her arms around him, holding him close as they both lay there in the afterglow.

She ran her fingers through his hair, a contented smile on her face as she savored the feeling of his weight on top of her.

Jey eventually rolled off of her, lying on his back next to her.

He draped an arm around her, pulling her close and holding her against his chest as they both slowly regained their composure.

They lay there in silence for a while, simply enjoying the closeness and the quiet intimacy of the moment.

Jey gently traced his fingers up and down her spine, his touch gentle and soothing.

Jax snuggled closer to him, resting her head on his chest and listening to the steady beat of his heart.

She could feel herself growing sleepy, the combination of their intense lovemaking and the warmth of his embrace lulling her into a peaceful state of relaxation.

"So..." Jax said

"So..." Jey echoed, his voice still a little hoarse from their earlier activities.

He caressed her, his touch affectionate and possessive.

"That was quite the main event, Jey Uso.." She smirked

Jey chuckled softly, a smirk spreading across his face as well.

"I aim to please," he said, his voice dripping with satisfaction.

[presidenthades]

And now the behind-the-scenes for Lavender Ch. 8!

Usual disclaimer that these thoughts aren’t necessarily canonical to the fic verse until/unless I write them into the actual story.

Jace’s thought about how she can’t hover over the future king forever makes me a bit sad. It echoes Aegon’s thought about how Alicent eventually stopped cuddling him because future kings aren’t supposed to be cuddled. 😭 I like to think Jace will keep cuddling her son even after he’s grown up and insists he’s too big for cuddles though.

Jace knows how to manage Aegon. She also figures out very quickly how to manage Otto. It helps that she and Otto both try to find a diplomatic solution first, and they understand the necessity of compromise. They strongly disagree on the best way to handle Aegon, but they’re at least willing to discuss it in a civilized manner.

Unlike in canon, Otto decides to gracefully volunteer for retirement. He’s achieved his main goal (putting Aegon on the throne), and the realm seems like it will be stable for a while. He also has confidence in Jace’s ability to temper the worst of Aegon’s habits. So Otto decides to quit while he’s on top. Sure, he’ll miss governing, but he can handle a bit of boredom if it means his legacy remains intact.

I like to headcanon that Otto is secretly an infrastructure and urban planning nerd, and he’s always wanted to lead a big project where they revamp KL’s sewage and sanitation system. Everyone needs a hobby lol.

I love the image of Otto interviewing a bunch of kindergarteners for the role of Elenar’s future Hand. 😂

Corlys, like Otto, is also a curmudgeonly old man with a lot of pride and not the best temper. But Corlys has a much different dynamic with Aegon, so Aegon will be able to work with Corlys…for a while.

I think Otto secretly wishes Jace could be Aegon’s Hand, because Aegon would listen to her 99.999% of the time. But Otto is pragmatic and knows that being a woman will count against her, so it probably won’t happen unless everything goes perfectly during Aegon’s reign. He doesn’t explicitly praise Jace for her abilities, but there’s the unspoken implication that he thinks she’s doing a good job. He’s also probably patting himself on the back for ensuring that Aegon married her.

Helaena’s “ghost” references mean Larys. The Lord of Harrenhal (a very haunted place) has basically been hiding in the walls, much like a ghost. She says “it comes and it goes,” a repeat of her firefly riddle in Ch. 4. And “ghosts used to be men too” is foreshadowing that Jace uses Larys’s human weaknesses (lust) against him.

While he’s been in hiding, Larys has kept tabs on the royal family’s routine so he can identify the perfect time to strike. Aegon eats with Smallfolk buddies regularly, and a bunch of the Targs and Velaryons like to have date nights. This is Lavender’s less tragic version of Blood and Cheese (book, not show version), where B&C spend a lot of time scoping out the royal family’s routine before attacking. Larys has the advantage of a) his whisper network and b) leverage over a bunch of castle staff whom he helped hire. It’s not a coincidence that the maid stops Rhaena from following Jace to her chambers, where Larys is waiting. Larys is aware that Aegon has been reluctant to use any Kingsguard but Criston to guard Jace, so once again Larys strikes when Criston is resting.

I finished posting Lavender shortly after S2 ended, so I was able to include a reference to S2E8 where Larys mentioned storing most of his family money with the Iron Bank (I think that’s what he said? It’s been a while since I watched the episode and TBH I’m not inclined to rewatch it). Braavos had a fraught relationship with the Targs, but Jace is determined to attempt diplomacy wherever possible. The Iron Bank speaks the language of money, so she sent two trusted representatives (her father and the master of ships), who happen to be from mercantile houses, to negotiate.

I originally thought about Larys pressuring Jace to kill/poison Aegon, so it would be a) more B&C-like in that she has a Sophie’s choice between her husband and son, and b) to hammer home what she said about doing anything for her son’s sake, including imitating Alicent’s example. But Larys’s primary goal is to escape with a lot of money, and it would be very dumb of him to think he could stick around in Westeros scott-free after he facilitates Aegon’s death. So instead he decides to pull a kidnapping/ransom scheme.

I spent a lot of time thinking about how Jace outsmarts Larys. I try to avoid depicting sexual violence just for the shock and horror value, and I had to think about whether the breastfeeding scene made sense story-wise. I think it does. A lot of Jace’s story involves using her limited assets as a woman in a patriarchal world to solidify her own power. There’s been a repeated theme of Larys being like other men, beholden to their baser instincts. Also, taking something that gives Jace joy (nursing her son) and twisting it into something depraved (forcing her to participate in his kink) seems like the kind of thing Larys would do to demonstrate his leverage over her. But Jace, who has spent a lot more time than she’d like with Larys, figures out his weakness (forcing someone in power to do what he wants) and turns it against him.

The tree that Daeron climbs up to the balcony is the same tree that Aegon climbs in The Golds Ch. 3 after Jace locks him out.

Jace knows Larys might kill her when he reaches her. She could’ve tried to climb off the balcony to save herself, but she has a baby to think about. She would rather ensure Elenar’s safety and give him to Daeron, even if it means she’ll certainly be violently attacked. Luckily, Daeron the Daring has different ideas.

Jace is on the verge of a panic attack, but she still tries to be queenly and give orders. Her dad is here though, and he tells his daughter to let him handle it. 😭

Jace usually advocates for peace and non-violence, but she has some of that dragon blood. We see a flash of it when she’s pleased by the thought of Aegon mutilating Larys’s corpse for her sake. She also doesn’t hesitate to order the maids be executed, because the maids endangered her son.

I love Jace’s line to Aegon about how “yes, Viserys loved you, but that isn’t enough, you deserved better.” She gives Aegon the validation he needs: he was worthy of love from his own father. But she also reminds him that just because Viserys loved him, that doesn’t make what Viserys did OK. Otherwise Aegon might start feeling guilty about Viserys, and Viserys doesn’t deserve Aegon’s guilt.

Mysaria proves to be a useful ally, but Jace is skeptical whether Mysaria’s loyalty can be counted upon. She doesn’t think Mysaria should be given one of the most important jobs in the realm just because she helped Aegon once or twice. At best, Jace thinks maybe they should allow Mysaria a probationary/trial period.

Aegon knew nothing about fashion when he married Jace, but by the time his coronation rolls around, he’s picked up on a lot about clothes. He definitely knows his wife hates black. 😄 He’s unusually interested in planning the coronation because, as we find out later, he’s planning a surprise coronation for Jace too.

Jace loves dressing Elenar in mini versions of Aegon’s outfits. 🥰

I like to think Elenar says “bah” a lot because he’s steadily working toward his first word, which is going to be “Pa.”

It’s been a while since Jace and Aegon did their striptease study sessions, but she is kinda turned on when Aegon demonstrates he’s been doing his homework about past Targaryen coronations. 😆

Aegon makes two promises to himself in Chapter 1. First, everyone will know Jace is first among women. Second, he’ll build a nicer throne for her next to the Iron Throne. He achieve/works toward both promises this chapter. The throne one is self-explanatory. As for the first among women promise, that’s tied to his vow that he’ll publicly empower Jace as his equal. It’s unprecedented since the Conqueror’s time for a Targ queen to be the king’s equal (and there’s room to debate just how equal the Conqueror’s sisters were to him), so this is the start of Aegon and Jace making history.

Of course Otto hired a painter to capture the coronation. I imagine the final painting will look a lot like The Coronation of Napoleon where Napoleon crowns his wife Josephine, though it would be Aegon and Jace in those roles, respectively.

It seems important/symbolic for Rhaenyra to crown Aegon. She was heir before him, and she has a chance to weaken his claim after Viserys died. But for the sake of peace—and especially for Jace’s sake—Rhaenyra agrees to make this public gesture. It also allows her a moment to be mentioned in history books, which she’s always craved.

The crown fits Jace perfectly and isn’t as heavy as expected. More symbolism for how Jace was destined to wear a crown and how she is able to bear the weight of duty more easily than Aegon.

Aegon makes a point of publicly celebrating Elenar as the Prince of Dragonstone because Viserys never did that for him.

Aegon thinks nothing of letting his infant son chew on the Conqueror’s crown, a very important relic. His son is more important than the past. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do this one “i love you. i love you so much, whatever happens, just remember that, okay?” With mac and jack pls?? 👉🏻👈🏻😅😂

✨✨✨Bestie bestie bestie have I got a thing for you ✨✨ ✨

Jack failed.

It wasn’t that it was a new concept; he failed tests in school, his driving exam, even doing laundry the first few times by himself. There were missions that went bad when he was DELTA and CIA, and not everyone at the Phoenix had turned out perfect.

Jack knew failure. It was just another thing in his life that happened every now and again.

But not that time.

Jack couldn’t afford to fail that time.

And yet—

Jack had failed Mac so many times before. In the sandbox, in Como, all the times he got kidnapped— every scar Mac had was a reminder of each time Jack failed him.

That time though, Jack couldn’t even beg forgiveness.

Because Mac was gone.

Jack had to watch as Mac and Riley were put into hyperbaric chambers, watch as they spasmed with the nanobots in their bodies. His head had been going back and forth between them, trying to gage their reactions and if the whole thing was working.

Riley had come out first, breathing heavily and face still wincing as the last of the nanobots shut down, but a smile was attached to it. Jack had pulled her into his arms, thanking whatever greater power there was that she was alright.

But then there was a sound, one that Jack had heard many times before, and never wanted to hear from Mac.

A continuous beep, a flatline from a heart monitor.

From Mac’s heart monitor.

Seeing Mac still— seeing him not breathing would be something that haunted him for the rest of his life.

“Hey.” Jack stopped him, letting the others go first. “I love you man.”

“Jack—”

“I love you, so much, and I need you to know it. Whatever happens, I need you to remember that. I’m always, always, going to be in your corner.”

Mac wasn’t breathing.

Mac’s heart wasn’t beating.

Jack had failed him yet again.

“You— you don’t need to tell me that.”

“Yeah I do. I know you’re scared about what might happen, and I know you think that if something does happen, you won’t be the same. But you will. You’ll be the same nerd I met in the sandbox; same guy that I trust my life with. No matter what happens, promise me you’ll remember that.”

Jack didn’t even know what he was doing, trying to open the chamber or smash it. He just knew he needed to get Mac out. His attempts were clumsy and uncoordinated, and there were hands grabbing at him, pulling him back and shouting something he couldn’t care to hear, because the only thing in his ears was the continuous ring of the flatline.

“Mac.” He didn’t even know if he was speaking out loud or not. “This isn’t funny.”

He was so still. Everything about it was wrong.

“We had a deal. You go kaboom, I go kaboom. It’s not fair for you to break that.”

The yelling around him was mere background noise.

“Remember what I told you, bud. Please. Remember that I’m here waiting for you. Remember that I’m waiting for you to come back to me. We still got alotta stuff to do.”

The ringing was going to be the only thing he would be now to hear for a long time.

“Please. Come back to me.”

Then it stopped.

It turned into one, and then another a few seconds later. The yelling also seemed to quiet down.

Jack focused his gaze on Mac’s face, seeing the twitches of movement under his eyelids.

He scooted forward, pushing the others out of the way, wanting— needing to get closer.

“That’s it Mac. Come on back to me.”

Mac’s whole body started to twitch before settling once again. His chest was moving with quick breaths, trying to regain the oxygen it was deprived of. Then his eyes opened.

Just the smallest of cracks, a sliver of blue poking through.

“Come on Mac. Lemme see those baby blues.”

It seemed like years before Mac’s eyes finally opened all the way, even longer before the chamber was opened, and Jack actually got to feel Mac’s steadying pulse beneath his fingers.

Jack just knelt there on the cold floor, taking in the fact that Mac was alive and breathing, ignoring everyone else around him.

“Jack?”

Jack let out a sob of a laugh at Mac’s voice. “Hey, Mac.”

Nothing else mattered. In that moment, it was just him and Mac.

“I love you too.”

Hi, Mortish! I hope you're well. This is for the "Submit your MC" Patreon post. My MC's profile screenshot:

I actually did concept art of this MC, which I'll make an official post of it once I finish the other faces and her expressions (even this one isn't done, lol), but to give you an idea/if it makes it easier!

Some distinct features is I took amber eyes to literally mean, "Hazel," my MC's nose slightly skews to the left, she has a very typical Arab Brow (will explain this in a bit)/Levantine features and her hair is soft, but fragile, so it's prone to frizzing in hot and humid climates (as seen by the hairs sticking out of her waves, haha). If we're at this point in the story, she does wear a veil to help with the frizz and because she prefers wearing one in public—I imagine it in a Palestinian/Levantine style (again, will explain below). I'm Palestinian, so when you said the Summer Isles had Phoenician inspiration, I was like, "Neat, my ancestors" and ran with it 😂. So I really lean into Canaanite/Phoenician/Palestinian and Lebanese clothes and features for my MC, since I HC her mom to be from the Summer Isles... and because projection and I'm a huge nerd of my own people's history 😂.

So, when I say "Arab Eyebrows," I'm referring to one eyebrow, whose front hairs grow in a different direction than the rest of the brow and little more into the nose area than the other eyebrow, as so (I included it in the fanart above, too):

Arab girlies tend to have these kinds, hence my calling them Arab Brows. As for the Palestinian/Levantine-style veil, I am talking about any of these ones, but especially the one in the middle (granted, I see my MC's scarf tail being a bit longer, so a combo of the two bottom pics basically):

Here's the music vid if you're ever interested to see it in action (it's a Palestinian artist with other Palestinian girls celebrating our roots) and a Lebanese example with blue scarf that has coins—also there just to vibe to too, since they're fun songs and the first one even has English subtitles if you press the CC button ☺️. Our traditional clothes reflect the timeline of our ancestry up to the Phoenicians, where wearing scarves like this was a cultural norm. Okay, i think I prattled enough. You obviously don't have to use all these details, but the eyebrows and/or veil are ones I'd adore if you could. Otherwise, thank you so much and stay awesome 💕.

I love all of this so much. Like I mentioned in Patreon it was super inspiring. I've been crazy about ancient Semitic cultures since I was a kid and I got a fancy bible with lots of ancient maps. My grandmother thought I was becoming very pious taking biblical notes all the time, but I was just writing about the cultures and copying the maps, lol!

I was actually going to mention that I picture the Summer Isles inhabitants as looking (mostly, depending on the region) Lebanese.

Also, Ina is one of my favorite names. I had an Albanian friend in high school with that name and I was obsessed with how simple yet lovely it was. I'll be sure to find an alternate POV scene where Ina can shine.

2024 writing round up

bringing back this year-end writing review because I'm a stats nerd and it's always fun to be surprised by how much the time and effort and works add up over time! tagging forward (to some new people - you're always free to ignore or let me know if you don't want to be tagged in things <3) if you'd like to join in: @soupandsorcery | @brightaxe | @glitteringdust | @crabs-with-sticks | @dustdeepsea | and an open invitation to anyone who sees this and would like to do it - tag me so we can celebrate all we've done this year!

words posted: 160,320

additional words written: 46,038

grand total of words: 206,358

fandoms: dragon age. and dragon age. oh, and also dragon age 😂

highest kudos: to feel the sun from both sides at 166 - a missing "what are we even doing right now" scene from the Rook x Lucanis romance <3

highest hit oneshot: I pick my poison (and it's you) at 1515 - yeah, no surprises here, it's the porn 😂 Arlow and Lucanis fuck on the rooftops in Treviso and I pretend there's a plot by drawing a line between the purple lanterns and Spite's wings.

new things I tried: writing (and finishing) a smut piece! that's been on my want-to-do list for a while, so that feels good to accomplish. I also wrote and posted my first polyship works this year!

fic I spent the most time on: the very condition of existence, my fic for @thedragonagebigbang! Female Mahariel/Anora, a childhood friends to strangers to lovers AU where Mahariel & Anora meet as children in the forest outside Gwaren and are reunited years later during the Landsmeet.

fic I spent the least time on: this one is always hard for me to gauge, but probably either softness did not serve me or spit your blood and bare your teeth, two of the pieces I wrote about Nika Brosca's history with the Carta for Febuwhump (mind the tags)

favorite thing I wrote: of my completed works, knee deep without a plea - Lucanis' POV of the weeks Rook spends in the Fade prison! I am really proud of the details I worked into this one for Lucanis and Spite, and the emotions across all of the characters. Honorable mention to before you can kill the monster (you have to say its name) - my WIP rewrite of the end of Davrin's personal arc, incorporating more of the nuance from Isseya's character in Last Flight, and filling in the gaps between the end of the novel and where Veilguard picks up. I'm really proud of the first chapters, and of where my outline is going, but I don't think I can put it at the top of my favorites until it's fully realized

favorite thing(s) I read:

there is no god but they'll kill you for him by tenderest (@/tendertieflings) - f!Lavellan & Dorian, Solavellan, heart-wrenching and angsty "Dorian & Lavellan deal with everything that happened with Solavellan and the world post-Trespasser.

floriography by ritualist - Harding/Josephine, tooth-rotting fluff and humor that contrasts Harding's earnest nature with Josephine's poise, bringing them together in a very sweet way.

contact poison by hellsreluctantheir (@/nonagesimus) - Teia/Viago, yes it's smut but it is also an amazing exploration of their dynamic, and really digs into some of the issues laid out for Viago in Tevinter Nights.

Razorwing by unoshot - f!Rook/Lucanis, a character study of their relationship throughout Veilguard that really pops off with the emotion and the imagery.

hound dogs howlin' round the gate by mortonsspoon (@shivunin) - f!Tabris & f!Tabris, I'm admittedly biased af bc this was an OC gift for me BUT objectively it is such a heartfelt piece about Tabris cousins that will get you all up in your city elf feels 😭💜

writing goals for 2025: finish & publish the rest of before you can kill the monster (you have to say its name)! And if I'm really ambitious, finish my Mahariel cure-for-the-Calling fic, which was the first DA fic I ever conceptualized, but has languished as I work and rework her canon. But it's outlined and I would love to write and finish it!

new works: 65 (!!!)

hello, I will call myself the 🦕 anon.

I am here to put my brain to rest after I'm done gushing about nerd gojo. He's my favourite Satoru out of all your Satorus (he's basically a pokemon atp, MY PIKACHUUUU)

In this essay I will highlight my favourite sentences and why I like them.

("i think i can fit if" - shut up!!! who asked!!!)

This sentence really sums up reader imo. I mean, getting offended at satoru HELPING us bully him 😂😂😂 she's sooo mean!! And also seems slightly helpless if anything. I mean, if she were as strong as she'd like to believe, physically, she WOULD have been able to shobe him in without his help. Insecure much? But cute. SO cute.

Love how she chewed him out for being hard at being bullied tooonzjakznxx this whole thing STARTED coz gojo got hard 😭😭😂😂 (am I a JOKE to you!?) I mean... I would have taken it as a compliment lmao. But reader is sooo.... Zesty.

("hey, hey, heyyyyyy don't do that," satoru whines, "i get migraines!")

He's soo... touch-me-not plant coded. Such a delicate darling LEMME SMOOCH YOUR CHEEKIE MY GOJI-BERRY!! I'm so.. if I were reader, my next tactic would have been to wrap him head to toe in bubble sheets. And the tape it really tightly. 'If you're so fragile, we should keep you safe, YES SATORU!?'

And another favourite scene is satoru getting possessive over his bully ,😭😭 when he tells her ("I don't have other bullies. You're not bullying anyone else, are you?") *Insert puppy eyes* oodododkdkjs I wanna BITE him.

This is SUCH an og concept. READER IS SO PISSED DO YOU NOT GET IT SATORU!? she's livid and you're here getting possessive over your BULLY!!? She called it 'hate mail' 😭😭 and Suguru KNEW what's upjskskxjxjnxnc hahahahha 😂😂😂 three people with three very different ideas of what's going on. And only Suguru had the full story akakskzkjx coz reader doesn't know who left it there.

Suguru who's playing matchmaker, I'm sure he doesn't even know what awaits him coz I feel that once he's been kissed? Ohhh gojo's imagination is having a PARTY!! and Suguru will have to listen to EVERY EXPLICIT DETAIL OF HIS SEXUAL FANTASIES that are about to get even MORE effed up *evil laughter* 😈😭😂😈😭😂 his suffering is so sweet to me. To us, i believe I speak for all your readers haahahaha

Now the worms in my body are slightly more at rest. In the next essay i plan to expand on any headcanons that strike me/any questions I have.

Yours desperately,

🦕

Rawwr

i got this ask AGES ago and am just now getting to it sfgkshgfdg but WHAT A THROWBACK! i'm really glad you enjoyed it so much, this was one of the asks that kept me on a roll when i was writing it. gosh bully!reader is so fun to write.

it was SO FUN to write all of that banter like. hehehe. reader is outright MEAN sometimes but gojo is either too smitten, too funny, or too dubious for us to take it seriously, or if he isn't, the reader starts to kinda feel bad... this is kinda our hint that reader is not a genuinely cruel person, and also doesn't genuinely dislike gojo, either.

and the HATE MAIL akshdkfgldshg that was so spur of the moment but also soooo fun! i was reading it like "reader would not like the sound of that" lol then i came up with the idea of reader interacting with it, and then all the rest kinda followed suit.

they're just. such a comedic iconic duo. the grumpy tsundere who does actually care deep down and masks it under a million layers of meanness, and satoru who is so unspeakably smitten with you (AND your meanness) that he's following along like a lovesick puppy huhuhue.

it's so obvious to everyone else who pays attention, too (which means just suguru lol). like gojo instantly snaps at anyone who tries to "help" him or even tell you off, and no matter how much you claim to hate gojo or be annoyed by him, you always give him your attention. you even spend all this time studying with him (just using him to get better grades, of course).

and SUGURU'S REACTIONS,,, i am just as bad as gojo because those are some of the most fun parts to write XD i think you can tell with the later fics too. gojo and geto's back and forth is just hilarious, i love it so much.

thank you for all your kind words, and your interest in the series hehehe. i have definitely got a lot of inspiration going for it hehehe~

9-1-1 8x12 liveblog (Eddie & Buck arcs, pt 2)

Y'all were NOT exaggerating the married!Buddie vibes in these video calls, holy SHIT! I love how Buck's managing to come off as the househusband while being the only one of them who's employed.

(Okay sorry to be a nerd/pedant, but a municipal fire dept. is a public entity, a hiring freeze would be in the news!! it wouldn't mysteriously pop up out of nowhere! and Eddie WOULDN'T be able to lie about it! sorry, sorry, just, like, half my family are city employees...)

Bobby you have GOT to stop hopping out of the engine on a scene with a big ole grin on your face! People are dying, Captain!! (literally at both the emergencies they've pulled up to this ep, he looks like he's doing the "singing in the rain" dance.)

Buck's "uhhh, not really how this works," was so cute! 😂 he's like, "do you not see the outfit? i'm here to SAVE YOUR LIFE 🙄"

Guys I think the 118 might actually be bad at their jobs...did they just let a car freefall ten stories down onto the unsuspecting public?? And Ozzy had enough time to get to ground level, so what were the rest of them doing, just hanging out?? They're LUCKY all it landed on was Athena's car!

Aw, they genuinely got me a little sad about Eddie selling his stupid truck! 😔 (maybe he wouldn't be BROKE if he hadn't BOUGHT A HOUSE!!)

EDDIE!!! he's so embarrassing omg. but also i feel like they're slightly misrepresenting Texans, some of us LOVE to talk to strangers. Maybe he's driving the wrong hours? He needs to figure out when the little old Mexican ladies need rides, they would eat him UP!

is disney/abc pushing some kind of rideshare agenda? bc they literally have the same arc happening at the SAME TIME to Gregory on Abbot Elementary. (becoming an uber driver bc he's strapped for cash and then being embarrassed and lying about it.)

the rideshare mentor girl is so cute! 🥰 AND she is fully saving Eddie's ass here out of the goodness of her heart! she didn't have to help him out like that lol.

*SCREAM* 🫣🫣🫣 I knew it was coming but it was still so uncomfortable!!

I've seen some posts insinuating that Buck says, "your worst nightmare already came true", out of some kind of insensitivity or ignorance? But it doesn't read to me that way at all. It's a little harsh, but it's not harsher than Eddie is being on himself, and it's the reality check that Eddie NEEDS in that moment! Buck is pointing out that this isn't the crisis it feels like; (bc that crisis already happened!) Eddie needs to focus on damage control, not mourning his relationship w Chris while he still has a chance to repair it.

[bobbydagen24]

little downer HC I've had for a while but I think Branch or more specifically Tv show Branch was Bullied as a kid.

as he would have been the weird quiet kid who stood out due to his Grey colours not to mention his overall personality making him an easy target just look at how Cloud Guy is Drawn to him in present day. like I said this is just a little HC not really based on any sort of solid evidence or anything. but it makes sense in a way and to be honest I could totally see the writers doing this in the future given their love of piling angst onto Branch's backstory.

maybe in a future third show its the plot of an episode where an old bully from his childhood shows up harassing him again and his Brothers witness it and try to help or even just have it be Cloud Guy up to his old tricks. and as well as trying to help Branch get CG to back off he ends up telling them that he's used to it since he just kinda had to put up with similar stuff when he was a kid.

as he was often picked on for the reasons stated above given what an oddball he was to the rest of Pop Village.

also if there's flashbacks then for the sake of building on an already established dynamic maybe Creek was one of the Bullies.

anyway leaving those ideas aside much as I love him lets be honest this adorable little nerd was Deffo picked on I find it harder to imagine he wasn't to be honest just look at him 😂😂😂😂

2024 Fic in Review

Thank you so much for the tag, @foullightdiplomatcreator-blog! 💙

Total Number of Fics: 11 on AO3, plus another 7 only on Tumblr

Total Wordcount: 54,667 (posted)

Fandoms: only posted for one (Fate: the Winx Saga), despite plans

Smut scenes: 4, which is more than I thought I'd done 🤔

Most Popular Fic (by bookmarks): undone and divine with a total of 22, which seems kind of unfair when it's been hanging out since February of 2023 (don't laugh at me, Saul); if I'm looking at strictly for 2024 posting, then a tie between make a mercy out of me and anchor, both with 6.

Most Popular Fic (by kudos): Also undone and divine; if I follow the same 2024 only rule, then it's a tie between restless and the shine i saw at 35 each

New things I tried: - wrote my first ever proper slash (anchor), since I've only done implied before - wrote an entirely new POV for a character I'd never really even considered the internal thoughts of (Ben, for hold me like water) - for that matter, thinking of characters I had pretty defined headcanons for in ways I hadn't thought about, thanks to trying to lean into @crazycatfaery's headcanons for her HEX gift -- which was pretty fun

Fic I spent the most time on: Probably a toss-up between hold me like water (slipping through your fingers), which is not surprising given that it was the second-longest fic I've ever written and also for the difficulties of getting it sorted out, and the shine i saw, because I've been poking at the rest of it off and on and also it's got a solid amount of worldbuilding incorporated.

Fic I spent the least time on: It feels like cheating to say so, but the various three-sentence fic meme fills, because those are the definition of flashfiction. I love them, honestly -- they're so much fun trying to figure out the framing on. For the ones that made it to AO3? Falling, aka "well, what did you expect when you gave me BenRose and 'goodbye', @lustrouswhite?" 😂 Pun unintended, it just fell into place very readily.

Favourite thing I wrote: How dare you make me choose between my children?! I love all of them or they wouldn't have been posted. 😭 But one that I love an awful lot is make a mercy out of me, because the sheer amount of diabolical cackling that went into writing it was so damned much fun. There is something entirely too fun about ✨in your canon, making it worse✨.

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected? Yes. Definitely yes. 😂 (See the goals question below for more explanation.)

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: If you asked me this last year, I'd have had an easy answer. This year ... oof. I think the Lunrah fic I wrote for @anne-in-dreamland's birthday might be the one here, because both the ship and Luna's POV probably get less visibility than most of what I write? But I enjoyed writing only know (when you let her go), and trying to get into the head of a younger and perhaps less hardened Luna, so ... I guess? (As a random side tangent, I am endlessly entertained by how Fate has me poking at a bunch of different ships, including ships with the same characters, when normally I'm very much "this is my OTP and I will not even consider alternatives because that's what the O stands for". This show!)

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Oooooh, interesting, because then the question becomes what does it say about me? Of the things I posted, probably hold me like water, because as much as I may dislike the idea I was channeling my past for all it's worth in the science nerd rambling, but also because there was a moment in the last chapter where things went in a way I did not expect them to, and the more I thought about it the more that was an echo of certain personal emotional resonances this year.

Biggest Disappointment: I started an angry coping fic in the wake of the Rook's Rest episode of HotD, but somehow my emotional state after that episode was even more of a confused mess than I expected it to be, so I never ended up finishing it. One day, perhaps -- or perhaps I got what I needed out of it -- but it feels like its moment has passed. In general, not finishing (or making the progress I wanted to) on things I had planned was probably the biggest one. My sequel for HEX 2023 got out of hand, for example, and then I got distracted. I have so many WIPs, and I really wish I was better about finishing things before I start new ones. Stupid distractible corvid brain.

Biggest Surprise: The endless suggestibility of my brain. Truly endless. IYKYK. 😭

My Favourite Part Of Fandom This Year: The ongoing delight that is the FtWS fandom in particular. I love this stupid dead fairy show and each and every one of you. 💙 Screeching with people in the server or in DMs, even if it's just these fragments of ideas that go nowhere, is endlessly delightful and I adore it.

Writing goals for next year: - not to put pressure on myself with numbers, and to be patient with my brain when it goes no - that said ... actually write some of the stuff I was going to in 2024, and get them to the point of being able to post, even if it's not the whole thing. Like I said above, I have a ridiculous number of WIPs, and I'd really like to pare that down (even if I'm sure that way lie even more ideas). Notably, I want to finish undone and divine and, ideally, my HEXquel (or at least enough to post some). - more blorbo pain. delicious blorbo pain. (There is another whumpfest WIP I am itching to get back to, but I promised @faytalepsy that I'd do something kinder first so that requires me to finish the shine i saw first.) - fill some of those prompts languishing in my inbox - do a better job of answering comments, because I used to be good and now I'm shite and I love comments and y'all are so great leaving them but I am not 😭 - and perhaps it's an oddity, but ... integrate smut into a larger story, since I don't think I've ever really done that and I'm not sure if it's how my brain works that makes me separate the two or ...

Did you meet last years goal?: If you asked me at the beginning of the year, then less; I was hoping to do about double what I ended up with. I ended up revising midyear and targeting 50k, which I was pretty sure I'd miss, and so it was a surprise when HEX ended up pushing me just over that 50k target. I definitely didn't end up writing some of the things I had in mind, but that's what next year is for.

Tagging: @rxnefairs, @backjustforberena, anyone I tagged above who's not done it, and anyone else who sees this and is in the mood ... but only if you want to 😘 Never any tagging pressure!

I know there isn't a lot of info about her rn, but may I also request Bo x Vesper, and maybe a Bo x Corbeau? 😳💦

Bingo!! We have a bingo 🥳

Traumatized Vesper would be so head over heels for Bo omg ya girl is obsessed 😬 I see them becoming fast friends over their shared love for all things horror👌 Both of them being shy and awkward nerds would make dating more complicated but not impossible! Vesper just needs to be more courageous and make the first move! I want them to have movie nights marathons watching their favorite horror flicks, cuddling on the couch and falling asleep in each others arms as the other kisses their forehead goodnight 🥹

We have another bingo!

I feel the need to explain Corbeau’s views as it will play a big role in understanding him 😂 sorry if this is long winded!

Corbeau’s had really messed up relationships with other humans in the past and because of this he views (most) humans less than animals.

But on the flip side he is the biggest animal lover 💗 that’s the main reason he maintains his farm as most if not all of the animals residing there are either strays, or surrenders from neglect situations.

But because of these factors I think he’d have mixed feelings on a beastkin LOL now if Bo had been hiding her animal features when Corbeau decided to nap her imagine his surprise when he sees a cute little cow human in his care.

He’d def find Bo cute but she’s still his captive and not sure how their stress levels would be finding out Corbeau runs a human farm and sells their meat other cannibals. He’d be kind to them, give them their favorite meals, a nice room for privacy and a few of amenities to help them pass the time and feel more “at home” and less like a prison cell. Bo would definitely be treated better than the rest showing a bit of favoritism lol

Now if this was shipping only without the captor/captive dynamic Corbeau would be attracted to Bo and her being a beastkin would be in her favor since we now know Corbeau is not fond of humans. Also! Corbeau has a hard time understanding emotions and is more logical about them. He’s learned how to behave by people watching and watching movies but it’s just surface level. If Bo is patient enough with him I think they could have a real relationship 💗

Tiny Bo for your viewing pleasure 🥹
