I got something!!! I have been so busy with classes and conferences lately (i, apparently, have to write an entire novel for my novel writing class….which is outrageous.) so I may not be able to do this as often but!!! Have a vary my days reboot snippet!!

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Carlos looks up at him curiously, his forkful of pad thai hanging halfway to his mouth. “About the spring rolls?”

TK makes a face, the spring roll he’d just taken a bite of becoming a projectile as he tosses it at Carlos, who laughs. “No. I mean about Iris.”

The smile fades a little and Carlos turns his eyes to the bowl in his hands. “I don’t know,” he shrugs. “Timing, I guess.”

“We’ve been dating for three years,” TK says incredulously. “You didn’t have a chance in all that time?”

“Yeah, but think about all that happened.” He’s trying not to get defensive but he also really doesn’t want to talk about this. “When was I going to tell you? After you got kidnapped? Or when our house burned down? Or when we got back together? Or-“

“Okay,” TK interrupts, eyes closed. There’s a few moments of silence between them. TK pushes the rice around on his plate. “I just never knew I was the other woman.”

There’s a teasing lilt to his voice and Carlos throws the half eaten spring roll back at him, as a fit of giggles erupts from him.

Hello! I have a nice ask week ask: What are the chances of your writing a pole dancer AU for Tarlos? Just curious. And no pressure! Just because I happen to think it would be the greatest thing ever .

hey cig! thanks for the ask!

i've actually tried to write this before, but aside from a really elite sex scene (the idea was fantastic, i won't lie) it wasn't a success. I think maybe my brain is wired to seperate my creative pursuits from each other or something? i just struggled to get momentum!

i do think a sports au would be sick in the pole dancing world, although i do fear i would get too technical with it and everyone would be like 'lola what the fuck is a marchetti split? why is a regular invert not the same as a twizzle invert? what do you mean his elbow wasn't locked before he took his leg off in the octopus?'

thanks for the ask!

The Moodboard Your Fic or Faves Tag Game

I've had fun making a moodboard on Canva for Rhythms (120k, E) and thought I would send the fun on through a tag game! (And this is not only a game for writers!)

The rules: Either: choose one of your published fics (or a WIP if you'd prefer), create a moodboard for it and share it along with a snippet. Or: Create a moodboard for your fave episode of the show, fave character, or a fic someone else has written that you love, and share it with some sentences about why it's a fave! (And tag people!)

Rhythms

After giving Carlos a head-start of a few seconds, TK steels himself, fights down a smile, follows him into the kitchen. Carlos looks at TK when he arrives at the breakfast bar – a quick but luminous glare, caught between frustration and loving him madly.

TK stands with his hands behind his back, swaying a little. "Do you need any help, baby?"

"No, TK. I can manage tea all by myself."

TK bites his lip, steps forward, releases his hands and slinks them along Carlos' hips, his sweats plush and soft over his firm muscles. Carlos goes still. He stands upright and rigid. TK breathes against the back of his neck, travels a finger along the curve of Carlos' waistband, stopping when his fingertip taps the middle of the bow Carlos has made of the drawstring.

“Babe,” Carlos huffs, “What are you doing?”

“What does it feel like I’m doing?”

“Killing me.”

With one skillful hand, TK yanks and undoes him, collapsing the tightly knotted bow of the drawstring like it was nothing. Carlos instinctively pushes his ass back, bumping TK's groin. TK feels him keenly through the thin cotton of his pajama pants.

"Do you need help with the tea now?" TK whispers.

"No."

TK slips a hand down inside Carlos’ sweatpants, slow and smooth, slides his pointed forefinger against the not-entirely soft bulge in Carlos’ black Calvin Klein’s. "How about now?"

Open tag and tags below! And send this on into other fandoms so anyone who fancies an art project can join in!

have a rather long snippet from the holiday crossover au. i am traveling once again and promise to work on it to get at least the first chapter posted😌 I was tagged by @rangersoup @carlos-in-glasses @tellmegoodbye @lemonlyman-dotcom and you should check out everyone’s wips because they are DELIGHTFUL 🩵

Buck might be losing his mind.

He’s been in Los Angeles for three full days and he has not been able to find any activity as exciting as his first night in town. He has done everything he could think of. The first full day, he went to as many museums as he could get into (three art museums and the Hollywood Museum). On the second day, he went hiking and it was beautiful. It probably would have been more relaxing if he hadn’t gotten annoyed at his podcast in the first half hour. And if he hadn’t skipped every song he had tried to put on after that. The third day, today, he had decided that a trip to the beach might solve whatever slump he’d found himself in. He sat on a towel in the sand for an hour with a fascinating book in his hands, but he could not focus on the words in front of him.

All he could think about was the way that Eddie had leaned into his shoulder when they were sitting together at the kitchen island.

All he could think about was the way that Eddie laughed about a stupid comment Buck had made. In any other situation, he would be looking back at it and cringing. But Eddie had laughed.

All he could think about was the neatly folded piece of paper tucked securely into the folds of his book. The one with TK’s messy handwriting scratched across it, ten little numbers next to Eddie’s name.

In case of emergency.

It’s not an emergency. Buck is just losing his mind.

I only just realised you're doing this and I certainly hope you're not still in an airport!!! But 2 and 3 and 15!

thank you for this ask, CIG! I'm sorry it took me so long to answer (although clearly I am no longer at an airport lol). I already answered these three, but i thought that for 15 I could maybe talk a bit more about my writing process? hope you're okay with that!

so my answer to the actual question (do you plan your fics or prefer to watch them unfold?) is that I do make a plan these days, although I'm not very good at sticking to it. but the process (even if it's not well followed) usually goes something like this:

1. daydream up idea (usually in the shower).

2. pitch it to someone (usually @rmd-writes or @celeritas2997 who are constantly being bombarded with my borderline crack fic ideas).

3. finesse general arc of story based on initial feedback.

4. write title and summary (I know, I'm a FREAK).

5. throw all ideas into a document.

6. separate ideas under different chapter headings.

7. write chapters as per idea outline, usually pushing back ideas as I usually come up with new ideas as I write, go way over the projected word count and end up with really long chapters.

ideally I like to post as I write (usually giving myself a 2 or 3 chapter buffer) because i find the stress makes me more productive. occasionally I pre write the whole thing but I have to say I hate it lol.

if anyone else would like to share their writing process, I would love to know!!
