2021 at a Glance: ☆ January ☆ February ☆ March ☆ April ☆ May ☆ June ☆ July ☆ August ☆ September ☆

🖤just a note: October started out slowly, but wrapped up with a few fics. I didn't get through all the writing I had planned for October, but hopefully, I'll finish the couple Kinktober and Fall WIPs I have left soon. Real-life has continued to be overwhelming, but I am so very grateful for the support you've continued to show me. Thank you!

Ummm. Ok then

[ardentmuse]

Hello, lovely humans! 

This blog is officially ACTIVE. And I couldn’t be more excited to getting back to writing for pleasure.

As many of you know, a few years ago I took a leap into writing professionally and now I am a full-time interactive fiction narrative designer, writer, and editor. While I adore my job, I also spend most of my time writing things based on storylines designed by others, few things solely of my own invention. And writing begets more writing. The more you do it, the more you want to do it, the more you are stimulated by the act itself. And so, even though my writing schedule is more busy than ever, I need to counter it with writing that is strictly for fun, otherwise I am going to burn out completely.

So thanks for your patience on this journey. I am SO THRILLED to celebrate with you.

To celebrate, we’re going to do some stories based on prompts and add some new fandoms to the mix.

(yes, the good place gifs are back)

The Rules:

Must be following me (@ardentmuse)

Must submit me an ask with a number of a prompt and a character

Must like this post

Please reblog, but this isn’t required :) 

Only one submission per person, please!

Block “#ardentmuse welcome back” if you don’t want to see these for whatever reason (though some of my best work comes from prompts)

Each ask will become a reader-insert imagine. Aiming for ~1k words for each of these, but we’ll see where the spirits take me.

Note that these will be slower than my previous turn around on these. My goal is one per day, to be cut off in ~3 weeks, so it is likely I won’t get to every prompt. I’ll do my best.

Character list and prompt list below the cut.

Hugs, Lia

Characters:

Note: all responses will be reader inserts (no x ships). Also, this list is off the top of my head so if I missed anyone that you really want to see, let me know.

The Prompts from Futurama:

Good news, everyone.

At the risk of sounding negative, no.

I love Y/N, always and forever.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

For a split second, my common sense was overwhelmed by pity.

I never even told her I loved her.

Well, you obviously won’t listen to reason. 

It’s when women are polite to each other you know there’s a problem.

...plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing.

When you look this good, you don’t have to know anything.

Hey, sexy mama.

This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me.

Thank you all for the inspiring advice, but I’m perfectly happy with my life the way it is.

Life is about decisions.

Oh wait, you’re serious. 

You leave me breathless.

Everyone, I have a very dramatic announcement.

We can all fight when we’re drunk.

It’s all so complicated with the flowers and the romance and the lies upon lies.

I’m feeling a strange new emotion I have never felt before.

You lost the woman of your dreams but you still have [xxxx].

Let’s knock this up a notch!

Gimme your biggest, strongest, cheapest drink!

I know who you are. You're the woman I've waited for my entire life.

You know what cheers me up? Other people’s misfortune.

I really ought to do something but I am already in my pajamas.

Valentine’s Day is coming up?

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Of course I'm being irrational, I'm in love!

Let's get the hell out of here already! 

What the hell is that thing?

You know, someone ought to teach you a lesson.

You should say something else.

It really makes me happy to see you right now.

What kind of party is this?

I can explain.

But of everyone I ever dated, you're probably in the top ten.

It's been quite a journey. 

What a thoughtful and considerate thing for you to say.

Look, I know it's not much consolation. But, I understand how you feel.

Cianán O Faoláin

Obsessed with this gorgeous portrait of my Lovelink love, Cianán by @/artbyainna (on Instagram). The absolute perfection of this! Look at this handsome man! 😍😍😍

Cianán is a seasonal LI and a dullahan (headless horseman).

In honor of this stunning art, I wrote a drabble about him:

Under the Moonlight

Pairing: Cianán x Reader (no gender, race, or body type given) Words: ~550 words Rating: general, fluff (brief use of 'scar') Summary: You and Cianán are growing closer, despite knowing he is supposed to kill you.

Your fingers thread carefully through his cravat, loosening the knot and freeing him from its restrictive grasp. Gently, you release the top few buttons of his shirt, brushing the garment to the sides. The pale skin you reveal glows warmly in the moonlight, like the perfect porcelain of a Renaissance masterpiece. Your cheeks warm, and your heart drums faster in your chest in anticipation.

"What art thou doing, dear one ?" His large hands move between you, reaching to realign his shirt.

You lean forward, taking his hands in your own and pulling them away. They're cold in your grasp as you brush a kiss across his knuckles. You hold them a moment longer, reassuring him that despite the dangers of what this means for you, your words and feelings for him have always been true. "I want to see you."

His eyes drop away, part in fear, part in shame. He knew letting you in would only make his job harder. He had promised you one night of protection, and yet, days had passed, and you'd only grown closer. His resolve to protect you was becoming stronger than his will to follow orders and kill you, even if it endangered his own life to do so.

"Cianán?" You whisper his name, your eyes widening as he meets your gaze. There was still so much about him you didn't know, but you knew you wanted to know more, to understand, to grow closer to him, and none of it had to do with saving your own life. You just couldn't stop yourself from being drawn to him.

He nods shortly, and you waste no time, pushing the garment further away from his neck. A faint blue glow begins to circle and swirl around him, growing brighter as it moves out away from his skin. The blue embers flicker and lick the cool night's air, bathing you in their light.

Your spine tingles in exhilaration. Your head falls to the side, examining the faint line drawn across his neck. You had seen the scar in a photograph and on the night you first met when his head came off, but this was the first time seeing it up close, knowing you were safe with him. You wonder what had happened, how he became a dullahan, but mostly, you wondered what made you different. Why were you still alive? So many questions, but right now, none of them mattered.

You chew your lower lip as you move closer. Your lips graze ever so lightly on his tender flesh. You feel him tremble beneath you as the heat of your breath washes over him. "Shh—." You press a tender kiss over the mystical blue glow emanating from his skin.

He swallows hard, attempting to cover his rising emotions with an unconvincing cough.

Your lips pull in the corners as you nestle into him, peppering the scar encircling his neck with delicate kisses, soft as the flutter of a butterfly's wings.

Your name slips involuntarily from his lips like a silent prayer into the night, the sound of which is filled with a warmth and admiration you weren't sure he was capable of having.

You lean back far enough to meet his gaze once more.

His piercing blue eyes glistened with an openness you'd only seen mere glimpses of before. His mouth opens, but no words follow; instead, he wraps you in the security of his strong embrace.

As you rest your head on his chest, you almost swear you hear his heart begin to beat...just for you.

A/N: I know this isn't my best work, but it was a lot of fun to write something different. I know there are definitely parts I could have rewritten and strengthened but I really just wanted to write to write and not worry about being hypercritical. I miss the joy of writing, so if you read this and made it this far, I hope you enjoyed it and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read it. Thank you!
