#chapter 13 wahoo!

[firephoenix2305]

CHAPTER 13 OF ETERNITY NOW AVAILABLE ON AO3 AND FFNET!

Finally!! I finished writing it! And what a rollercoaster of a chapter; I hope it makes your heart race like mine did while writing it!!

[Post season 2 angst-full with mysteries and adventures and having to stop metaturd, if you'd like to give it a try. Teen and up]

I've written this down on the notes as well, but basically, and I'm so so sorry, I'm going to have to go MIA writing and publishing-wise until at least June. (Nobody died, I just have to concentrate on my finals).

So, to be forgiven (and not having to dance for it), here's a 10k word chapter!!!! Yup, you did read that correctly! Plot heavy, prose heavy (hence why it took so long, dialogue is more my forte) and very, very crazy. Good Omens style. (If I did it right, that is)

<3

Warning: Obscenely badass Aziraphale below cut :)

And actual TW for the chapter: Weapons (swords, spears)

- The building is surrounded - Uriel declared, in the tone of voice of one who is really convinced they have won - Your transport is guarded. I'm sure you've had fun in this wild goose chase, but you have reached the end. You are cornered - - Don't be so sure of that - Aziraphale immediately replied with not a single drop of doubt in his deep, severe voice, making even Crowley get a chill down his spine - I'm not letting you take Eleyn or hurt these people. Whatever that should take - - Spare your empty threats, cherub - Michael shot back, never releasing his eyes - You have no miracles, no way to escape; you're not even armed! - - Yet - the angel snapped, livid, and the archangel's stoic façade finally faltered - You often forget, Michael, that I am the angel of the Eastern Gate. I was created to protect; and I will not hesitate to do it, should you give me a reason- - Who are you trying to intimidate? - the archangel challenged, thought their voice was very slightly higher than before - We outnumber you ten to one - - And you also threaten those I care about – Aziraphale retorted – Believe me, the odds are not in your favor – he took a steadying breath, never releasing Michael’s gaze – Now, stand down and go back the way you came, before we need to make a mess of things- - And if I don’t? - the archangel shot back, though this time there was a slight tremor to their voice. - Then may God forgive me – he breathed, determination burning in his every word.

And another little snippet, because I love this line so freaking much.

Aziraphale knew that feeling; it had accompanied him almost every day for nearly six thousand years of existence. That sinking feeling one got upon understanding that everything they thought to be good wasn’t really that good, and everything they thought to be irredeemably bad maybe wasn’t that bad at all.

ghggggghgghggh just finished reading the rest of Dungeon Meshi last night. Brain is soup with these silly little guys.

not quite kintsugi, but close

Chapter 13: A Hand In Need

It's not a very good day for Leonardo but his family is there for him, no matter what. And Donnie even has a surprise.

Well, two surprises.

-

WAHOO A NEW CHAPTER!!! I've been really excited to get to this part and finally we're here <3

[ask-team-donum]

Day 13!! I tried but I couldn't find a panel that was my least favorite? I like them all :3

Some of the First Chapter pages are a bit weird but I still like them,, so instead I redrew a cool panel!! Wahoo!!!

Link to Original Panel!!

[pupmon1]

A new chapter?

Yes.

I am writing again! Wahoo!!

Oh- we got bloodshed. Oh dear- maybe we should focus on that.

[emotional-support-demon-crowley]

Wahoo, it's Wednesday! Time for a new chapter of Terminus.

Chapter 13: Come watch these two idiots being absolutely in love with each other while the threat of Eden's Gate still hangs over them.

[forabeatofadrum]

Wahoo! The last time I did one of these was in September! But here I am. I haven't read fic in a long time, mostly because I am reading non-fics at the moment. And yes, I used to share those as well in this posts, but as the banner says, the post is about fic. The non-fics are afterthoughts.

Here we goooo.

What brought me back to these posts? the map and the treasure by @montrealmadison, which is a missing scenes fic between the time Jack and Bitty kissed and the Hi, Honey chapters and BRUH, I loved it. It's soooo good and I love the bisexual line as a bookend.

It's been an awfully long time since I read Zimbits. I reblogged this fic to my omgcp fics tag on my personal blog and the previous post in that tag was a year ago.

I also read What Do You Get for the Grandson Who Has Nothing and the Grandmother Who Has Everything? by @skeedelvee a while ago and I wanted to make a post about it here and then life happened and I forgor. I am a sucker for post-AWTWB fics that deal with Simon's new family life.

For non-fics... Where do I even start? I've read a lot of Dutch non-fiction books, topics ranging from metaphysics, to adoption, to Sinterklaas and more. I also finally read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which blew me away. I had heard that it wasn't another "uwu the villain is just misunderstood" companion piece and YEAH. It's a great exploration of evil and power and also the only reason I am looking respectfully at the recently announced Haymitch book. I even discussed this book in my political philosophy class. I also reread the entire Hunger Games series and man, 13 year old me didn't get the implications back then.

I also finally read Circe by Madeline Miller and Bloom by Kevin Panetta. OH and Nimona by ND Stevenson! And a book called Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds, which is a more poetic book.

Lastly, I reread the Secret Shanghai series by Chloe Gong in preparation of reading the Foul Lady Fortune series, which I have also finished and I loved it. I reserved the novella from the library and now I just have to wait.

SO YEAH.

READING.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Dungeons and Daddies (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Scary Marlowe/Normal Oak Characters: Normal Oak, Scary Marlowe Additional Tags: DnDads Halloween Week 2023, Alternate Universe - Vampire, Pining, Humor, theyre sillay, Pre-Relationship, Horny Teenagers, i dont like using that tag very much but truly madly deeply normal is on something in this fic, they dont even kiss. its PG-13. its just very teen boy brain, Blood Drinking, Awkward Flirting Summary:

His uncle told him once that vampires had some sort of aphrodisiac in their mouths that made a bite from them pleasurable. Scary hadn’t said anything to confirm it and Normal was a little afraid of scaring her off by bringing it up, but he was pretty sure it was just Scary that made this bearable. Her lips were so much softer than he would’ve thought against his skin, even as they were wet with blood. This close up, he could smell her body spray, sweet and floral in a way that always took him off guard. His hands balled up into tight fists by his side as she licked off the smeared blood around his neck, fighting down the urge to squirm at the careful attention.

His head was still spinning. Scary pulled away once again, licking her lips with a satisfied look on her face, and he giggled. As she pulled her eyes away from his neck, meeting his gaze, everything went black around him.

sorry this is posted so late (well, this post. fic has been up for hours LOL), ive been mega busy ^-^ but wahoo, free day!! i ended up going back to day one's prompt and writing some vampire scary :3 normscary the beloveds as always <3

fanfic writer questions

Thanks for the tag, @foibles-fables

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

i'm at 122 right now (wahoo!)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

794,634 (i am on a mission to 1 million in the next couple of years)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

well i've been around many a fandom block, but i'd say for current brainrot:

supergirl (mostly supercorp, but i have a smattering of rare pairs because women, amirite?)

swan queen

bumbleby (i also still have so many rosebird dreams i'll get there someday)

makayuro (with a smattering of rare pairs also because women, amirite?)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

well unsurprisingly, ever since plopping down on supercorp fandom, the numbers have been from there. but shoutout to my victorious fic from 2012 holding strong lol

evergreen, closest i get, not for nothing, you've got mail, and one way or another

5. Do you respond to comments?

yes yes absolutely!! sometimes i am late and sometimes i just leave it in there so i can have it stay unread but anyway i try to respond and i appreciate everyone who sends them to me. i have historically been a oneshot writer so it's been nice also to get comments on wips!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oh shoot angstiest ending?? well i think i would say my supercorptober ficlet about memory loss of sorts might tick that (it ends kinda idk open but not bad, i will say)

but then there's also this one old soccer RPF i wrote that's more, idk, poetry than any real fic about one of them leaving lmao

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

the happiest ending? i mean all of them, i reckon. if they end up together or have a promise of together then they count lmao

8. Do you get hate on fics?

uhhh none that i've seen? i mean if it's in the comments, no? but if it's elsewhere, then also no? i have been fortunate in that way

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

OMG YES I AM FINALLY IN MY SMUT ERA

uh i reckon comedy smut for now (read DickFic here) but the day is young and my doc is empty so who's to say

but i have dreams for some sad smut because i'd like to develop the range LMAO

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

surprisingly, i do not. what i instead do is just little spin through five fandoms at any given time and just confuse myself that way

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

unfortunately yes. twice now. once was for my victorious fic that was used for a 5th harmony RPF lmaooo

and then on thanksgiving weekend, the first chapter of Crepe AU was posted by an anonymous for a The Wilds ship (but my friends rallied to get it taken down so i didn't have to send a takedown form to ao3 while i was traveling home)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope but that would be totally rad

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i love fic writing group work so yes! i have a series of sad angsty women that i have with my best friend in my revue starlight fandom, and then, of course, @sideguitars and i have 'humans in the storeroom' (that reminds me it's my turn to write the next part smh)

i also like jumping into writing sprints or writing exercises with folks (like a round robin)

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

let's not do this, i shan't pick amongst my children

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

so far all my wips are things i wanna finish and will do my best to finish. i have a couple of retired wips that will just sit in my ao3 forever and i have made peace with them, though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i wanna say characterization, pacing, emotional resonance, and a simple and natural writing style maybe

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action?? plot??? proper AUs lmao

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i do not because i find i butcher it and also then i cringe lmao

19. First fandom you wrote for?

oh written for but never posted? hermione/ginny

posted for? god probably All My Children (bianca and maggie) when i was like a teenager hahahahaha

20. Favorite fic you've written?

sorry no can do i love them all because i wrote them and there are so many things i enjoy about them. but i will say that the writing events circuit i've done this past year (supercorp bigbang, bumbleby big bang, and swan queen winter solstice) are born out of a lot of labor of love and i'm really proud of the work i've done for them.

and not for a writing event, but i am also extremely proud of re:live for mayakuro fandom-- that one makes me think that if i never wrote for that fandom again, that that's a really good fic to end on)

No-pressure tags, of course: @sideguitars, @eqt-95, @fazedlight, @luthordamnvers, @vox-ex, and @waytooinvested

(yall have probably done this before but here it just in case!)

[scoops-aboy86]

20 Questions for Writers

I was tagged by @steviewashere, wahoo!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

19.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

68,563. 

Which, given that I made the account in January, means I’ve written an average of about 13,713 words a month. 😵‍💫🤓

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Stranger Things exclusively, except for like. That one itty bitty crossover with Good Omens, but that was more of a thought post on here than an actual fic. All Steddie, with occasional dashes of Buckingham or Ronance.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Love Language and Twice Shy are tied for 1st, which is cute. The latter isn’t really wg related and, amusingly, has fewer comments and bookmarks than the former. 

Window, which I swear I will write a part 2 for someday. Probably. I want to, cross my heart, I’m just… easily distracted sometimes. 

Office Baking, which is part of a collab with the lovely @hotluncheddie

All About the Bounce in My Step, another one with a part 2 on my WIPs list. The title came from an AJR song that has… nothing to do with the fic really, it was just one of the first songs I heard on Pandora after I finished editing it and needed a title in order to post.

Kitchen Pig. Perhaps the most, uh… “contains mean comments about someone’s weight” of my fics, purely because Tommy and Carol are involved. I was kind of nervous about posting it. Glad I did though.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try! Sometimes it requires a lot of a particular kind of energy that I don’t already have, but I like to acknowledge that someone took the time to leave me some words, even if my response is just heart emojis or something. 

If you've commented and I haven't responded yet, it's somewhere on my to do list.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uh… The first chapter of Not Dating, for sure, because it was originally intended as a one-shot. Or maybe Twice Shy because one little reassurance (however genuine and however accepted) is definitely not enough to untangle the knot of Steve’s trust issues. Hashtag thanks Nancy. 

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Ooh, tough one, because I always go for the happy ending sooner or later. (Even with angst, I crave that sweet sweet resolution.) Maybe Seven Christmases though, because the whole thing is so family focused and caretaking and indulgent all the way through. 

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Surprisingly, no. I guess I’m doing a good enough job with easily blockable tags and staying in my lane—by which I mostly mean, if I reblog something that sparks kinky thoughts, I put them in a separate post so the people who see it are mostly those who seek it out. 

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Heh, mostly smut that involves eating too much and getting off to that.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Literally just that one Good Omens post, where rockstar Eddie has brought chubby Steve to The Ritz or something, and Crowley or Aziraphale overhears Eddie calling him "angel" and miracles an extra dish onto their table, as a treat.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. But I don’t lock my ao3 posts, so if they’re being scraped then I guess I am doing my part in making AI weird. 

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of. That would be kind of cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not a ton, but @hotluncheddie and I have written some stuff back and forth, notably Office Baking. 

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Steddie! With additional spaces carved out in my heart for Buckingham, platonic Stobin, and platonic Hellcheer. 

Ronance is alright, I have nothing against it, but in my heart I feel that Nancy has been consistently in one relationship or another since she slept with Steve in the first season. She’s been through a ton since then, grown up a lot, and become an incredibly different person… I just think she needs some time with herself to figure out who that is and what she wants. 

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you will?

Never admit defeat, never surrender. 

I never mean to leave things unfinished, I’m just, yeah. Easily distracted. I also have a full time job, a partner, and seven furry children… It’s a lot to juggle sometimes.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Banging out the tunes story. And then—I read someone describe it this way once, can’t remember when or where—going back over it like a painting and filling in more details, building up the layers until it’s got more texture, like a Van Gogh. Like, when I wrote Trick & Treat, I got most of the way through writing it before going back and working in their costumes. And that became a huge part of the fic! Also, originally I forgot part of the prompt and wrote Steve only getting as far as a downstairs bathroom instead of his bedroom. 

Yes, I know, technically I am just describing editing. But I like thinking of it as adding texture. 

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Ugh, settings. I’m usually pretty good with dialogue and what the characters are doing, but I really have to think about where they are. 

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I only know English and the bare minimum of Spanish to get enough credits to graduate high school, so… Some bits of other languages sometimes, like slang that I’ve verified through online research, and I’ll run things back and forth in Google Translate a few times to try and keep it from coming out too garbled, but eh. If it’s extensive I’d probably switch to italics or special brackets to indicate another language, unless the main pov character doesn’t speak it and isn’t intended to know what it means without an in-story translation. 

That’s just what I do, I don’t give a fig what other writers choose to do as long as it’s consistent within each story.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

As a wg kink writer, Stranger Things. In general, I started with the works of one Douglas Adams back in college. 

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oh god, I’m so indecisive… Seven Christmases makes me feel all warm inside, I’m really proud of that one. 

I’ve seen this making the rounds lately and everyone I can think of has probably been tagged already, but… @hotluncheddie @tangerinesteve @pearynice @lingeringmirth, no pressure!

[phoenix--flying]

wahoo

[tervaneula]

WAHOO it's WIP Wednesday so here's a sneak peek of NQK chapter 13!!! Everyone, thank you so much for being so patient and looking forward to the continuation of this story with me<3<3<3

they're such a family your honour i love them with my whole heart

[24-guy]

Wahoo. Car lights update. B)

[inked-out-trees]

3 7 9 for the ask thing? Thanks :)

3. What's a fic idea that you have but haven't started writing yet?

my latest in cornley aus in my brain (because there's always one or two just kicking around for funsies) is a cornley poltytechnic detective (s)agency! sort of a funky little noir-esque thing featuring the whole team bringing their own assets (as it were) to solving silly little cases in the sleepy town of cornley. as I type this out I'm getting more ideas. hmm.

also, because you're the one asking this question haha, here's a single line i have written in my otis is stoned tab in my personal discord: "alternative oneshot where one of them goes away on an extended work trip or something and then other one misses them so hard they turn into a ghost"

7. What's a trope you love to write?

well you gotta know most of me by now. here's something that may be considered a trope? or maybe it's just me being silly. following lines of narration with someone speaking the exact same line out loud in their dialogue. like from heisting 101:

This file is not corrupted, the man assures her, except, well. It’s not so much a blueprint as it is a square with numbers around it.

“That’s not a blueprint,” One says, first into the room. “That’s a square with numbers around it.”

or from the soon-to-come secret santa in july fic:

Annie’s not home, but her roommate is. “She’s not home,” Vanessa says. “But I am.”

i don't know what it is about lines like these i just think they're funny as hell

9. What's your favourite line(s) or scene(s) that you've written?

I am supposed to be writing job application letters right now and instead I am going through my old writing like it means something. (it does. I love my old work.)

there's a couple answered in this ask from 2022, but because this opens up to scenes I have more room to speak! wahoo!

Fixed Point specifically - there's a lot (a lot) I love about this one but I have to say the "trevor and francis listen to music on opposite sides of the bars" in the most-recently-posted chapter 5 is on the top tier. joined by "zee curses chris out for leaving her" (chapter 14) and "robert curses chris out for giving up" (chapter 13) ... there's a theme here.

Not Fixed Point Specifically - the entire wet therapy chapter of ex-home, Spy Day from make off like a band(it) (i put so much work into planning it the whole onenote page of planning I have exclusively for that chapter proves it), the end of chapter 2 in three counts ("i like my life, i'm just worried this daydream is gonna end" "it doesn't have to!" everything explodes)

[banannabethchase]

@sarahcakes613 tagged me in a thing! Wahoo! I love things!

Give us the links to your wonderful words with the Most hits/Most kudos/Most comments/Most bookmarks /Most words/Least words

Most hits: Forever After You Will Be My Home -CBS Scorpion, Quintis, Waige, and gen babyfic (of interest to pretty much no one now, but this fic is almost 300k and longer than the whole LOTR trilogy, so I'm proud beyond words of this beast. You only write something like this once in your life.)

Most comments: Okay technically this is also FAYWBMY so I'll tag number 2 which is my other magnum opus The Rumor of Us - Heroes of Olympus series, Pipeyna and Percabeth college AU. (My first novel length single story fic, my PJO/HoO baby! The amount of gay babies who are like, "I read this way young but I'm gay now THANKS!!" in the comments or whatever...fantastic.)

Most bookmarks: The Pros and Cons of Avengers Tower - MCU, Stucky and Nataskye. (...MY MCU BABY. This fic is so stupid and has like 5 major plot holes but it's...I love it. Some of the jokes in this fic are as stupid as my old Chronicles of Narnia crackfic.)

Most words: Also FAYWBMH. And then the next is TROU. So we'll go with number 3, Set the World Alight - AEW, MoxMatt and HangNick high school AU. (Annnnnd HERE'S MY WRESTLING BABY!!! I have like four favorite AEW fics I've written but this one is way the fuck up there. Still in progress - I'm stuck on writing chapter 13, but it'll be up by Sunday.)

Least words: Christmas Stocking - PJO/HoO, Percabeth holiday fic. *shrugs* It was a prompt fill.

Edit: I space cadetted the tags. Ummmmm @booboo-eyedbambi @perseannabeth @anairbri and @aidaronan!!
