Thanks to @cryscendo for the tag and for past tags and to everybody else who has tagged me in the past and then I haven't made a post... I appreciate every time I get tagged, I've just been kinda drowning in work lately and haven't had time to write.

BUT I'm going to share a little bit I wrote several months ago for tbosas au which has been living rent free in my head for a while - I started outlining this back in December, and will hopefully eventually get to write it all! This is more than 6 sentences because fuck the rules <3

“And there he is, Blaine Anderson himself,” Santana announces to their small group. “They can’t give him the prize, right? He already has enough handed to him, being an Anderson.” Blaine catches Sebastian’s eye for just a moment before Sebastian can turn back to the group, and he starts to walk over. “Which is ridiculous anyway, he’s district. He doesn’t even belong here but he still has everything handed to him? It makes no sense.” As Blaine walks up to the group, Santana plasters a sickeningly sweet smile across her face. “Hi, Blaine.” “Hi Santana,” Blaine greets her quickly, then looks to Sebastian. “Hey, Bastian.” Sebastian cringes a little, hates it when Blaine calls him that, like they’re the best of friends, hates that being associated with Blaine makes everyone else question his own place here, too; he doesn’t need his status being questioned, it’s hard enough fooling them all as it is without Blaine getting in the way. But Blaine knows what Sebastian’s life is, Blaine’s whole family knows, and it’s humiliating but he can’t help it, needs to stay on Blaine’s good side so that at least he’ll keep it to himself.

Going to tag @daisyishedwig @esperantoauthor @blurglesmurfklaine @kurtsascot @calsvoid @fallevs and anybody else who wants to do this! (I know some of you already got tagged but I'm double tagging you because I want to and fuck the rules <3)

since i haven’t seen anyone ask yet, sebastian smythe my beloved for the character asks!

!!!!!! I was waiting for my boy, so thank you so much.

How I feel about this character: God he's such a bitch and I'm obsessed with him. I love him when he's evil, I love him when he's nice, I love him when he's suave, I love him when he's a silly little wet cat of man who just need affection. He drives me insane.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: So obviously Blaine is my top one, Seblainer for life. But then I of course love him with Kurt, I've been recently intrigued by the idea of him with Sam, and like I'd probably be down for him and Elliot. I think I've seen him with Adam before, definitely read so Huntbastian. Y'know, he's got options, but Blaine and Kurt are the god tier choices.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: You know it's Santana and you, more than anyone else, understand my passion for them. They're just so similar I just feel like they'd understand each other in a way few other characters can truly connect with them. Like they could pull each other into and out of so much trouble, it'd be amazing. I need all the sebtana in my life.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I relish all fic about Sebastian, but I do sometimes feel like he gets written by people who don't understand him. And not even in a "he's misunderstood and not that bad" kind of way but in a, "this man's primary language is banter and he simply will not sound like himself without it" kind of way. You can add so much to his character that can vastly shift his personality from canon, but the key to writing him believably is banter, and without that, he falls really flat. This is even more of a problem in fics where he's interacting with Kurt, because banter feels like a key part of their relationship, be it a positive or negative one. You can get away with less banter with Blaine, but with Kurt it's so necessary and its one of the big things that can put me off on a fic, no matter how well everything else is written.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I mean, I obviously wish he'd gotten to actually date Blaine in canon, but I also wish he'd just gotten to be /friends/ with Kurt and Blaine in the end. I just feel like after all the bad history was over with and healed from, and they'd all grown up, he'd fit really well with them and I just wish we'd gotten the chance to see that, even if he didn't romantically end up with either of them.

Send me characters you would like to see me talk about!

six some sentences sunday

got tagged this week by @calsvoid (thank you!) and have missed several others over the past weeks bc I've been so busy working that I forgot Tumblr existed lol - this is a little bit from the how bright we burn sequel that I've been slowly but surely working my way through for weeks

“What was that?” Blaine asks, body suddenly tense.  Sebastian snorts out a laugh and turns his eyes back to Blaine. “Your parents are fucking down the hall.”  Blaine’s eyes widen in horror, a mixture of disbelief and embarrassment washing over him. “No way,” he whispers, mortified.  Sebastian tries to stifle his laughter. “I guess now we know where you get your sex drive from.”  Blaine buries his face on Sebastian’s shoulder, trying to suppress the urge to laugh hysterically or crawl under the bed in embarrassment. “Oh my god,” he mutters, voice muffled by Sebastian’s skin.  Sebastian leans in close, lips grazing Blaine’s ear as he whispers teasingly, “Should we give them some applause?”  Blaine shoves him playfully, though his cheeks are still burning bright red. “Stop it!”  Sebastian grins mischievously, clearly more amused by the situation than Blaine. “Come on, B, it’s not like they can hear us over their own noise. I mean, damn, your mom really has quite the voice.”  Blaine shakes his head, trying to compose himself. “This is so embarrassing.”  Sebastian grins and kisses Blaine’s cheek a few times, slowly trailing back down to his neck, then to his shoulder. “I guess she’s just really turned on by your dad standing up for you. You should be glad your parents are still so into each other.”  Blaine groans and falls back against the bed. “Don’t tell me you’re turned on by my parents having sex. I might have to break up with you if that’s the case.”  “God, no, don’t be gross,” Sebastian says, gently shoving his shoulder. “I just think it’s sort of sweet. I mean, don’t you want to still be having great sex when we’re pushing 50?”  Blaine rolls his eyes, but he must admit Sebastian has a point. “My dad’s pushing 60, actually.”  “Damn, he looks good for his age.”  Blaine pushes him. “Shut the fuck up.” 

I have caught up on so many tag games that I feel like im harassing all my mutuals lol so I'm gonna leave the tags empty -- pls take this as an invite if you have anything you want to share :)

WIP Wednesday

tagged by @daisyishedwig (thanks!!! <3)

I have actually been writing a good amount recently! I've posted two 9-1-1 codas this week alone, and been working on my Modern!Bridgerton fics too, so I'll share something from one of those I think.

These are the opening paragraphs for my Pre-Polin story, focusing on the Colin/Marina storyline from season 1 but modernising it, and written mostly from Penelope's POV.

There were many tucked away nooks and alcoves in the ornate apartment the Featherington’s called home, and youngest daughter Penelope knew them all. She knew which ones afforded her the most privacy outside of her own room, which ones were the most comfortable, and which ones offered her the best views of Grosvenor Square. The latter is where she was currently situated, a window seat tucked away in the corner of the main reception room. She’d managed to avoid her parents and sisters' likely reminders to go to bed at a reasonable hour simply by sitting down in that spot and pulling the curtains which encompassed the window seat. Not enough to block out the evening sun, but enough to obscure her from view.  They only really thought of Penelope when she was in their line of sight, or, in the case of her mother especially, when they needed someone to belittle. Penelope liked that she had the ability to become invisible like this, because there was nothing she wanted less, at times, than to be perceived by her family.

Do you think Blaine and Sebastian started talking again at any point?

The winning answer was "yes" with 41.9% closely followed by "they both wanted to reach out, but didn't" with 30.2%.

And here are some of my favorite responses in the tags and comments from @whatdiditellyouflawless @endiness @calsvoid

I love the angst of this and imagining the fight that would have had, and I love any reason to imagine a Sebtana friendship.

I've had this image in my head for a while now based on Is It Over Now? and the line "At least I had the decency To keep my nights out of sight Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs". And it's of Sebastian keeping all of his various relationships under wraps, keeping them as out of sight of Blaine as he possibly can out of respect, but when Blaine gets married and his Facebook relationship status changes, or other Warblers at the wedding start sharing photos, Sebastian gets irrationally upset about it. Like, I kept every hookup, every boyfriend, out of sight because I didn't want to hurt you, but you can't have the same respect? And he knows it's irrational, he knows it's not the same, but he can't understand why it hurts so much to see Blaine marrying someone who isn't him.

Sebastian not feeling like he has the right and Blaine not wanting to let himself feel the happiness with Sebastian (lest he realize he's not actually happy in his current relationship) feels so spot on, I'm obsessed with that. And the idea of Blaine reuniting with some of the Warblers and getting pulled into a group chat with Sebastian fills me with such excitement. How do they react? Do they just kind of ignore each other in the chat for a while, never responding directly to what the other says? Does it start with Blaine not talking to him out of respect to Kurt but then when Sebastian does the same he starts to wonder if Sebastian hates him now? Does he reach out to see what's wrong and how he can fix it? Or does he just wallow in the feeling of someone he once thought of as a friend, maybe even his best friend, not even wanting to acknowledge his existence?

The strain of pretending it's just friendship getting to them again and again and again and pulling them apart, but the undeniable connection they have to each other always bringing them back together every time, just *chef's kiss*.

tell me about your want you back and free day wips, i am so curious (probably because i have danced to all you wanna do while thinking about sebastian multiple times)

Okay, so Want You Back was supposed to be a fun silly little thing about Sebastian and Blaine breaking up but then continuously falling back into bed with each other. It was inspired originally by the song Want U Back by Never because I wanted to be different than just using the Jackson 5 song and that's about like all your friends hating the ex you want to get back with. But then because it's me it got really angsty.

A short snipped from that one:

But it kept happening. They’d end up at the club again, and they’d see each other across the room, and then they’d have sex in the bathroom, the car, the alley. They never took it to either of their places. Sebastian still lived in the same apartment and Blaine couldn’t risk Kurt seeing them together. 

They didn’t talk about it. They didn’t talk at all aside from the normal platitudes exchanged during sex. A series of Oh gods and fucks and harders. 

The secret didn’t last forever, though. Santana’s latest fling saw them exiting the bathroom together, faces flushed, hair mussed, and sent a cheeky Snapchat to Santana and Kurt. She didn’t know who Sebastian was. She didn’t know the chaos she had just unleashed on Blaine. 

The intervention was swift. They gathered all of their friends and gave Blaine all of the reasons why he and Sebastian weren’t good together. Why he needed to stop whatever they were doing before he got seriously hurt. Why he could end up hurting Sebastian without ever knowing it. 

He avoided the club for a few weeks. But there was an itch under his skin that was driving him up the wall, so when Kurt had to leave for the weekend for a family emergency, Blaine caved. 

He called Sebastian. 

And then my free day was indeed inspired by someone putting All You Wanna Do on a Sebastian playlist and making me very very sad. And then someone else had Sorry by Halsey on a different Sebastian playlist and that made me sad so I wrote an entire fic about Sebastian not believing he has worth outside of sex.

And a snippet from that one:

Sebastian Smythe could not understand Blaine Anderson.

He’d had many many fuck buddies over the course of his sexually active life. But, on the rare occasion they didn’t leave immediately after the deed was done, they would leave within a few hours. Maybe they’d have dinner, or watch a movie together.

But Blaine. Blaine would just invite himself over to Sebastian’s apartment. He’d teasingly asked for a key so he could surprise Sebastian sometimes, and Sebastian had just shrugged and given it to him. But he had been under the assumption that the surprises would usually involve finding Blaine in various states of undress. Not with an apron on while something that smelled absolutely delicious simmered on the stovetop.

Sebastian had just leaned against the door the first time it had happened and watched. He was too perplexed to say anything until Blaine finally noticed him with a small jump. 

“Jesus, Bas,” he said with a hand pressed to his heart.

That was something else Blaine did that was weird. The closest he’d ever gotten to a nickname from someone else was Daddy. But Blaine rarely said his full name. The familiarity both warmed and terrified him. 

“Shouldn’t you be wearing a maid outfit or something?” Sebastian asked with a frown.

some fanfiction writing asks for youuu

24. How do you choose whose POV to write in?

35. What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?

46. If you could only write one type of AU for the rest of your life, what would it be?

74. Do you have a fic you wish got a bit more love?

fanfiction writing asks!!! https://www.tumblr.com/calsvoid/767162315955159041/fanfiction-writing-asks?source=share (tumblr mobile wont let me link anything and im too lazy to get on the website)

24. i don’t lol, i just decide to write angst in a specific scenario and whichever character it revolves around more is who i go with

35. probably risk and reward. i love stories with nonlinear timelines and i also love sebastian having big feelings and sticking a bunch of pins in his emotional wellbeing’s voodoo doll

46. canon divergence because it’s a safe option and i still get to do whatever i want lol. as a not safe option, maybe college or high school or just like something where everyone is a normal person and unique canon features are removed (though that’s still kind of a coward’s choice because you have a lot of creative freedom with that too)

74. definitely the answer you won’t give. i spent a lot of time on it and while i appreciate all the love i get and i know attention isn’t everything when it comes to art, it does have the least amount of hits and kudos out of all of my fics and it’s a bit saddening because of how much work i put into writing it

first line tag game

Rules: post the first line(s) of your 10 most recent WIPs

thanks @calsvoid for the tag <3

none of these are like official official or anything but they're the first lines I have so far!! also i simply do not have 10 wips at the moment, so I included multiple first lines from different chapters of the how bright we burn sequel lol sorry

"Blaine’s never been fond of popularity contests or the ridiculous social hierarchies that form in high school." - from chapter 1 of the sequel to how bright we burn

"They haven’t stopped texting since they exchanged phone numbers, and Blaine thinks they’ve talked more in the past two weeks than he’s talked to any of his friends or his boyfriend all month combined." - from a seblaine week wip for the texting/phone calls prompt, working title is ""the things i do (when i picture you)"

"Blaine doesn’t remember what year it started or how old he was when he picked up the phone the first time. He doesn’t remember who he was sort of dating at the time or what pie his mother baked that Thanksgiving. But he does remember a few specific details." - from a seblaine week wip for the songfic prompt, based on the song 'tis the damn season by Taylor Swift

"A year ago today, Sebastian was in a much nicer bar in a much nicer city drinking much better alcohol with a boy who was much more single." - untitled wip that's Sebastian's retelling of the events that occurred at scandals in the first time

"If you were lying when you said you cheated on me, we’d still be together today." - another seblaine week wip, this time for the lost letters prompt, working title is "if you were lying"

"“I like you,” Jeff had said. God, how stupid. He fucked up Thanksgiving by talking about feelings. He should’ve known Nick wouldn’t be ready to talk about it." - from a retelling of how bright we burn chapters 12 & 13 from Jeff's pov

"Sebastian’s barely spoken to Blaine in days, and it’s eating away at him slowly but surely. Still, he’s convinced it’s for the best. Sebastian has always known that when a boy starts saying I think this could be real and asking if he’s been with anyone else since they started hooking up, it means it’s the beginning of the end." - from a retelling of how bright we burn chapter 27 in Sebastian's pov, title is "le temps des fleurs"

"Sebastian is pissed today because Hunter can sing." - from chapter 2 of the how bright we burn sequel

"Sebastian and Blaine meet during study hall on Monday to count the ballots so they can announce the election results at the start of rehearsal alongside their plans for the charity concert with the New Directions." - from chapter 3 of the how bright we burn sequel

"Charles and Angie Smythe are visiting Angie’s family in Philadelphia for Thanksgiving, so Blaine’s parents offered for Sebastian to stay with them. " - from what I think will be chapter 7 of the how bright we burn sequel

I'll tag @imogenlefay @sperrywink @jade-efflorescence and anyone else who's interested in sharing anything they're working on !! no pressure to post ofc :))
