A moment from ‘The Sea That Calls All Things Unto Her Calls Me’, a canon-compliant-up-to-Thanedd fic by @clydethistles that is Tissaia/Yennefer slow-burn. Also known as the selkie!AU. A favourite of mine - and probably has inspired the most art from me out of all the fan fic stories.

Finished version - there was an earlier update several days ago, but Yen’s skin tone, some hand issues, and how translucent gowns might be were all corrected.

For the ask game:

1- your zoommates one is such a comfort fic for me

6- the moment Tissaia shows Yen the unicorns

Zoommates seemed to be a bit of a comfort for people during covid, including me, which was unexpected when I started it. Writing about that damn virus was not what I wanted to do, but it was oddly comforting.

I couldn't remember what Zoommates was actually called because I always think of it as Zoommates. It's Do you feel like I feel (or am I all alone?) 😂

The unicorn one is The hour of hush and wonder, which was written from a prompt by @novak-fan about Tissaia giving Yen something for her birthday and I couldn't for the life of me think what you could give a powerful sorceress for her birthday. Answer - unicorns!

Thank you for this 😊

This fic is one of my *favourite* fics, for the - decidedly book!canon Tissaia/Margarita, I’ll have you know - and this is art is sublime and so true to the feeling of the writing. Go read the story if you’ve not already. Bring tissue and something soft to hug. 

I don't have a choice, but I still choose you. I don't love you, but I always will.

Go give Your Mouth Is Poison (Your Mouth Is Wine) by @clydethistles a read if you are feeling down bad for this ship as I do right now.

For the fan fiction ask game 💜🌷🤌

Hello! Thank you so much for the ask!! 🤍✨

💜 What is the most heart wrenching passage you've ever written?

This is such a hard question to answer, because I feel like… I don’t know 🙈 I feel like when I write, I don’t write anything to intentionally be heartbreaking? I just write, and hope that the emotion comes through. But I do remember writing that last line of “please stay”, the “finally”, and thinking that people would probably hate me for it 🙈🙈 I also know what I was feeling when I wrote “if you fall, I will catch you”, but I don’t think it came through as heartwrenching, per se? Maybe just depressing. Oops. I’d be curious to know what you all think my most heartwrenching line/passage is, though 👀🙈

🌷 Who do you recommend as a fan fiction writer?

Oh gosh, so many people. So many. Most recently: @notmanagingmymischief @welshdragonrawr @iamnotoriginalphil @simplybybea @tilda-rothery @walker-lister @clydethistles

🤌 What is your best fan fiction you've ever written in your opinion?

There’s absolutely no way to answer this without sounding horribly narcissistic… but I do adore “if you fall, I will catch you” 🙈 I’m so proud of it and I feel so fiercely protective of it. It’s like a little piece of my heart on paper. BUT— that being said, I think I’m also really proud of “grow to need me there” because it was completely different than anything I’d ever written up to that point, it was a little out of my comfort zone, and I was really happy with how it turned out. I feel like I really surprised myself with that one, and even though it’s definitely not super popular, I’m still very pleased with it, all these years later.

A moment from a certain epilogue by @clydethistles. I'd done the original almost a year ago, but on my recent year end review realised I wanted to update it.

@deadrock-n-rollsociety​ I have been listening to like 5 eurovision vocal songs and the rest is all instrumental classical so idk if I can even get to 10. Also the only way I really listen to music casually is to put on one of my 200+ song playlists on shuffle

1. Évidement - La Zarra Remember that thing I told you about gentleman jack and this??

2. Lemminkäinen Suite op.22 - Lemminkäinen in Tuonela - Jean Sibelius I’ve been crying hard to this one today, literally

3. Shum - Go_a Forever a favourite

4. Book of Grooves: IV. Dance Groove Drifting - Alejandro Viñao Amazing marimba piece, I’m studying the style for nr. 10 on this list

5. Xitang - Beltaine They have a new song out and of course it’s fucking amazing

6. Blood and Glitter - Lord of the Lost For the people who know me from DnD: this is a zefa song in lyrics but absolutely not in style and especially fucking not in outfits 7. 9 through 99 - Peter Adriaansz I hate maths but I love this piece

8. Shapeshifter - Molly Joyce Violin and distortion, that’s it. Pure brilliance

9. A Forest Awakens - Hans Zimmer From the Blue Planet 2 soundtrack, also research material for 10

10. Shrimp Song V2 (Work in progress title) - by me lol idk how many times I’ve listen to the sketch of the theme I’m making for a DnD character from the campaign I’m in but it’s a lot. Probably the same amount as the rest of the list together. I do that to work out what I should add/change. @sylvanas-girlkisser​ @xhopsalong​ @boredbutalive​ @torchbright​ @ice-fairy-chiruno​ @clydethistles​ @inkamumbles​ @federthenotsogreat​
