Prompt Discussion - Tenzo of the Kingdom | Festivals

Ten Days of Tenzo 2023: Day 4 (Nov 4)

Each year, the prompts for Ten Days of Tenzo are open to your interpretation! We enjoy all the TDOT participation, and we wanted to give some ideas for how you could interpret each prompt.

Tenzo of the Kingdom

You might think that this prompt is inspired by a love for Legend of Zelda, and you'd be correct! But there's more to this prompt than Hyrule shenanigans.

This prompt invites ALL the Royal AUs. Imagine a majestic Tenzo as King, Emperor, Frog Prince, Courtier, Royal Heir Recovered, etc. where he's never expected to pick up the lunch tab (it's what he deserves)! Or maybe he's the most trusted knight/warrior in the land charged with the safety of all who dwell within?

If you'd rather skip the shiny armour, Tenzo of the Kingdom could also be a saviour of the people (a la Robin Hood)! Imagine Konoha's biggest helper as the champion of the oppressed, quite at home camping deep within a forest.

And if you, like us, are an LoZ geek, let both your imagination and Tenzo run amok in Hyrule! How would he react to the Great Deku Tree? How would he react to Evermeans? Could he befriend Skull Kid? Is he Team Shiekah, or Team Yiga? Consider: Twilight Tenzo. Would he ninja-sprint to the final battle with Ganondorf, or would he succumb to the distractions of 1000 Korok puzzles? There are so many possibilities for Tenzo of the Kingdom, and we're excited to see how you interpret it!

Festivals

There are several festivals in the Naruto series, from the Quarrel Festival where people fight over Cats/Dogs, to the Rinne Festival where people exchange gifts. What other festivals might Tenzo want to celebrate? The Hidden Leaf Sports Festival? The Festival of the Screaming Trees? The Bring Your Best Helper Festival? DIY your own ninja (or AU) celebration!

Maybe you're drawing from personal experience. If you'd like Tenzo to celebrate the festivals that mean the most to you, go for it. For example, this beautiful depiction of Tenzo celebrating Diwali is just one of several ways to take on a prompt like this. There are tons of ways we can honour the wonderful traditions we may all have and respect their origins!

Maybe, we're thinking about the specific subculture of festivals through art and music. Can you see Tenzo attending Woodstock (no pun intended)? Performing at a music festival? Trying for crisis management at the Land of Fyre Fest? There are so many kinds of events, and we'd love to see where this prompt takes you!

Thank you to everyone who suggested a prompt, and to everyone who enjoys TDOT. These are just a few ideas! Feel free to get creative.

oc-tober day 9 - relationships

im a bit late to this day, but i was really busy yesterday, so! here i am to talk about one of the most important relationships ive cowritten with others, between my tiefling warlock river, @psikind's human sorcerer xilant and @sparklelight3's human warlock irene!!!

(art by @psikind )

this is a ship that's been following us for four years, since risk and i started shipping xilant and river before their campaign even began! a friend of risk's was like "haha what if your magic users kissed in barovia" and then we both went "wait shit they actually work really well together" and that was the end of that story. when the narrative puts you both in the hands of the thing you hate the most and you try to save each other from it ........... i love them. so much

(art by @anafishart )

and then irene entered the picture!!!! she joined the party not knowing that she was a caster and xilant had to train her after river had a fight with the entire party (read: river yelled at everyone and everyone yelled back). she's dating xilant, as is river, but irene and river have their own secret third thing going on and i love them for it <3

the way they confessed was actually fking hilarious. while trying to find camp, river overheard irene and xilant talking about their respective dark powers (and then had an encounter with Their Own but dw abt it :3). then they got quite literally dragged into said conversation, and the following occurred in this order:

river told xilant/irene that they totally called their mutual crush and was fine if they wanted to be together since river didn't want to hurt them

xilant confessed to liking both of them, not just one or the other

irene confessed to her dark power marking both of them as sacrifices. bonus round bc said confession Removed the marks so they were fine

and then they all kissed <3

(art by @sparklelight3 )

for river's side of things, xilant and irene are a majority of river's reason to live (as are the rest of the party). they've both proven time and time again that they would never abandon or give up on river for anything or anyone, gods or dark powers be damned. irene literally got the three of them promise rings, and by the three of them i mean river's missing right now so irene got three promise rings for herself, xilant and is saving the third for river for when the party finds them. i cried after that

(art by @psikind )

anyway hi. love wins and so does polyamory <3

[20 Question Fic Writer Tag]

tagged by @baejax-the-great thank you!

How many works do you have on AO3? As of now, 47.

What is your AO3 word count? 1,084,458

What fandoms do you write for? Currently neck-deep in my Patrochilles (Iliad/TSOA/Hades) obsession. But I've also written for Dragon Age (Pavelyan), Voltron (Sheith) and Castlevania (Trephacard, Lenector).

What are your top five fics by kudos? High-Flying Birds, Like Friends Do, Winter's Fruit, Jasmine and Yarrow, Where Blood Roses Bloom.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I love responding to comments!! Even if it's just to say Thank you. I absolutely love rambling in my replies and getting into discussions about lore or characters' motivations and such. This is the fanfic experience at its best for me.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Honestly I'm not great with angsty endings haha. Even if the fic as a whole is very angsty, the ending tends to be happy. I think the fics with the saddest ending are Loyal To The End and The Wound That Never Heals, both Hector/Carmilla (Castlevania). Some people have told me they found the ending of At The Water's Edge quite bittersweet.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Now we're talking haha. Of my most recent ones, Twin Flames has a very sweet ending. Fall Into Your Tide also has a super hopeful ending, and another favourite is A Place To Be. I'm all about that comfort after the hurt babey.

Do you get hate on fics? I think I've only ever got hate once or twice? As far as I remember. I honestly couldn't care less about it, I forget it as soon as it happens lol.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yessir. Not exactly sure what kind? Are there different kinds? I would say that my favourite to write is angsty smut with lots of complicated feelings. And also I do like sprinkling some kink here and there whenever I feel like it.

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I've only ever written one crossover and I still love the fuck out of it, it's a Witcher/Dragon Age one with my OC Tristan Trevelyan and Dorian Pavus and it was sooooo fun to write oh my god. I would love to revisit that universe ngl!!

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of? Depends on what we mean by stealing. I have had parts of fics of mine lifted and used in other fanworks without credit, it wasn't great but it's been a little while since then and I haven't noticed anything else (not that I've gone looking though).

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! A super lovely person has been translating High-Flying Birds into Vietnamese.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before? Yes! I've cowritten several fics with friends and it's always so nice, I love working with other people.

What's your all-time favourite ship? Oof that's a tough question. If we go by number of fics written, it would have to be Patrochilles. If we go by number of words written, it would have to be Pavelyan (almost 450k 💀). If we go by number of fics I've read and bookmarked, it would have to be Sheith. So idk if I can give a straight and clear answer lol.

What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever will? God I really do want to finish A World With You and I do think I will do it eventually, it's just that I know there's a LOT of it left and it's often really daunting. I also want to finish Where Blood Roses Bloom but, again, the plan I have in mind is kind of ambitious and it will take me a while to get there. Also, Blood Roses In The Snow is one I want to get back to, and that one would be easier to finish since there's only like a couple chapters left.

What are your writing strengths? Probably imagery, introspection, and I've also been told I write good action scenes!

What are your writing weaknesses? Dialogue, probably. It stresses me out the most haha. I also used to be able to write complex plots but it's gotten quite hard lately, idk why :(

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I don't love it. I'm fine with a word here and there or even a phrase, as long as it's been sort of explained before or it's one that's widely recognised. I just feel like having a big chunk of untranslated dialogue in the middle of a story breaks immersion and I try to avoid it whenever I can.

First fandom you wrote for? Dragon Age, specifically Inquisition.

Favourite fic you've ever written? Noooo you can't make me choose, don't make me choose 😭 Damn that's tough. Twin Flames is still a huge favourite. A Place To Be is one I often come back to and I'm super proud of how it turned out. A World With You is the first fic I ever posted and the longest, I have spent so much time with it and it has a special place in my heart. And this might be cheating because it's my current fixation, but I feel like you're a walking disaster, and yet— is some of my best writing yet, I'm very fond of it.

Tagging forth to: @elveny @pikapeppa @mary-aries @darlingpoppet @pinkfadespirit @sketchass @starlightvld @petrowriting @in-arlathan @figsandphiltatos @heypax and anyone else who'd like to do this! (Also, if you don't want to be tagged for these memes let me know!)

Fic Tag Game

Thanks @fandomscraziness22 for the tag!! 🩵

How many works do you have on AO3? 10! My page says 7 but I have some I've published anonymously.

What's your AO3 word count? 122,718

What fandoms do you write for? It's been a while since I've posted anything but when I do find the motivation to write it's usually Julie and the Phantoms, Outer Banks, or The Summer I Turned Pretty! I've written some for other fandoms too but that was a looong time ago haha.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? (Not including the ones I'd like to remain anonymous 😉) - Fire Red and Ocean Blue (TSITP) - I Hate the Way I Don't Hate You (JatP) - Been Counting My Blessings Thinking This Through (OBX) - Something Like That (JatP) - I'm Standing in Your Line (I Do Hope You Have the Time) (JatP)

Do you respond to comments? I really try to respond to every comment, even if it takes me a while to respond! I genuinely appreciate people who take the time to not only read my writing but also share with me their thoughts, so the least I can do is respond back 😊

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Oof in general I usually stick to happy endings so there hasn't been a ton of angsty endings! But I once wrote a fic exploring a character navigating the aftermath of the sudden death of his wife. It ends with him bonding with a woman in a bar who had also lost her husband, and they dance together and while it's nice to have some sort of companionship again, there's an unspoken agreement that nothing and no one would ever compare to their late spouses. (Based off the song Ghost of You by 5SOS, specifically the last line!) I don't usually write major character deaths, and I actually ended up taking that one down because it was too sad for me haha.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? The rest of my fics pretty much all have HEAs because at my core that's what I enjoy most haha. But my favorite and probably fluffiest ending is Fire Red and Ocean Blue.

Do you get hate on fics? I don't remember ever getting any hate! *knock on wood*

Do you write smut? What kind? I do not, but I always enjoy reading a good smut fic!

Do you write crossovers? No, but I love AUs or fics based off of other books/shows/movies!

Have you ever had a fic translated? Also no haha.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before? I've attempted to, a loooong time ago when I was first getting into fanfic. Nothing ever came of it though, we were both, like, 12 so it fizzled haha. I have no idea where that person is today but I hope they're doing well!!

What WIP would you like to finish, but doubt you ever will? Back when s1 of Outer Banks came out I started working on a Jiara one night stand fic and got about halfway done. I still think about it often, but too much has happened in s2 and 3 it just wouldn't make sense anymore and I'd basically have to start from scratch.

What's your all-time favorite ship? This is a tough one! My oldest and most beloved ships will always be Romione and Percabeth. But no ship has ever, and may never again, have me in a chokehold quite like Juke did during the height of my JatP hyperfixation. So one of those three! 😂

What are your writing strengths? Ooo I love a good theme or motif or analogy and bringing everything back around full circle. It makes my little perfectionist virgo brain very happy haha.

What are your writing weaknesses? Sometimes I'll rush through the little details just to get to the main plot points. I constantly have to remind myself to slow down, a sort of "stop and smell the roses" if you will, and set the scene or create unique little character details to make my fics more descriptive.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in a another language for a fic? If it's needed it's needed! I usually will copy/paste and look up the translation if I need to.

First fandom you wrote for? Glee haha. I used to be OBSESSED.

Favorite fic you've ever written? I feel like this answer changes depending on my mood haha. Right now I think it'd have to be Been Counting My Blessings Thinking This Through, but that could totally be recency bias haha. I am very proud of it though!

What fic would you want to rewrite someday? I wrote this PJO (Tratie) fic called Rivers about 10 years ago and to this day the idea behind it is probably one of my favorite ideas I've ever had for a fic. When I reread it now, I can't help but see the writing of a 15 year old girl who had no idea what she was talking about and was unable to execute it in the way I wanted to in my mind haha. I always tell myself I'm going to rewrite it, and maybe with the show coming out soon, it'll inspire me to!

This was so fun!! Tagging @story-courty @bex2313 and @writerownstory and anyone else who wants to participate!

20 fanfic questions

Thanks for tagging me @randomfoggytiger !

How many works do you have on AO3?

30, I'm still working on putting more that I wrote either on Tumblr or Fanfiction.net back in the day on my AO3 (if they don't induce too much cringe. Been doing this almost a decade now).

2. What's your total AO3 words count?

137,433 and counting

3. What fandoms do you write for?

NCIS, X-Files, Star Wars, and on rare occasions, Harry Potter

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Mother (Star Wars Obi-Wan x Satine), Life Force (more Star Wars), Back to You (old NCIS fic), Like Life Itself (you guessed it, more Star Wars), and sh-boom (X-Files :D)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Sometimes, if I get a particularly nice comment that makes me all excited. But I recently read a post where someone was saying you shouldn't reply to comments on your own fic on AO3 because it artificially inflates the number of comments on your story, and I was like :'(

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ooh, I've been specializing in angst since I got back into fic writing. Let me think... The Star Wars prequels are inherently angsty, so-- hope like the sun (Star Wars) this could be such a dream (Star Wars) what was once a garden (Star Wars)

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

Probably Mother (Star Wars), because even though it's angsty, it's a happy ending AU. I'm realizing a lot of my fics that I'm actually proud of have melancholy endings lol sh-boom (X-Files) is a good one too.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I mean, maybe I used to? When I wrote as a teen? Not so much "hate" as "this doesn't make sense," and half the time, the commenter was getting some fact about the fandom wrong anyway haha

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

Nope, never will

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

Never a crossover, although I have thought about an X-Files/NCIS crossover. Pretty sure I'd be the only one interested in it though. I am currently writing a Star Wars fanfic that is basically a retelling of The Sound of Music, which is probably as close to a crossover as I'll get.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of. But I did have someone ask to print my fic out once to keep forever and that made me so happy :')

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

That would be cool, but no.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nope.

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

I can't. I'm so loyal to Tony and Ziva from NCIS, and they really are fantastic. But even I have to admit that Mulder and Scully are the blueprint. Nobody did co-dependent coworkers turned lovers like them. Both of them have WILD stories about how they ended up with a child though, and I love them for that.

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

Oof. The forbidden topic. I was writing a fic called "In the Eyes of Tali" on Fanfiction.net once upon a time before they brought back Ziva on the show, and a lot of people seemed to really enjoy it. It was basically the episode Family First from Tali's perspective, which I think is really unique, and then went on toward an eventual reunion with Ziva. I think I could theoretically finish it one day, but there's so much I'm writing now that I doubt it. Maybe I need the proper incentive.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I actually don't know. I've been told I capture characters' voices well before, that's really nice to hear. I hope I'm improving in the description department.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Probably maintaining good pacing, getting from point A to point B without rushing it, and actually making myself finish what I started. I'm also a little wimp when it comes to not getting comments or bookmarks on a fic, even if it's a small fandom and it makes sense that the engagement isn't as high as I hoped.

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

Occupational hazard in the Star Wars and NCIS fandoms. Star Wars you're dealing with made up languages (most often for me, Mando'a) and NCIS is usually Hebrew for Ziva. Best you can do is do the research, try to fact check Google, and provide translations if needed for context in the story.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically, Harry Potter. When I was 13 I started a story that I had grand plans for, posted 2 chapters on ffn.net, and then never touched it again lol. But the ones I actually stuck with were (now really cringe) NCIS fics, and they got a decent amount of attention on that site (and even among some old ladies on Twitter that would share links sometimes, how cute is that?)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

So far, either Mother (Star Wars) or Beautiful (X-Files), but recently I've been putting out a lot that I'm finally proud of! I'm hoping they're actually good this time, and not the "good" that I thought I was writing in 2015. I've always hoped I'd build up a base of readers that enjoy my stuff and subscribe for when I post new fics, but I don't think I'm there yet. Easier said than done, especially on Tumblr.

Tagging: @indestinatus @wanna-be-bold @ whoever else wants to do this! I'm out of touch with who writes stuff on here, and also relatively oblivious to people's blog names if I read them on AO3 haha

20 Questions For Fic Writers

not tagged by anyone, i just found it and wanted to do it :3

How many works do you have on ao3?

60

What's your total ao3 word count?

523,261

What fandoms do you write for?

According to Ao3: Zero Escape, Legend of Korra, Gotham, Dangan Ronpa, Daredevil, Skyrim, FNaF, Frozen, Hazbin Hotel, Life is Strange, Logan, MCU, Nope, Saw, Spider-Man, Squid Game, The 100, FATWS, The Jungle Book, The Walking Dead Game, The Wolf Among Us, Uncharted, Animal Crossing, Zom 100, Ace Attorney

Top five fics by kudos:

Out on a Limb

Smoke and Mirrors

GNAWING

Anodynes

Electric Sheep

Do you respond to comments?

For the most part! Sometimes I don't really know what to say in response, but I appreciate every single comment I get. Like, I adore them all.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

(spoilers lmao) It's a tie I think, between Out on a Limb (in which Troy does die, but he saves Clementine and repays his debt, being remembered for the good choice he made in the end) and Electric Sheep (Dio and Luna's fates are left ambiguous, it's unclear if they're alive but at least they're together wherever they are)

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

Any of the fluffier fics tbh, but a special mention for Taken by Storm. It's the last fic of the Nope series, and it shows that the gang is recovering from their ordeal and have hope for the future.

Do you get hate on fics?

I mean, I've seen offhand comments on Twitter, but honestly I haven't gotten any hate on Ao3 at least. :)

Do you write smut?

A tiny tiny bit. It's very rare. But we have Stay Classy for a direct smut thing, with like two other fics having references to sex. It's not really something I like to read or write, and have to be in a ver specific mood to write.

Craziest crossover:

I don't write crossovers haha.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Oh god I hope not. Or maybe I do, maybe I want my old deleted (see also: gone forever) fanfiction.net fics to resurface somewhere.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!!! Electric Sheep is being translated into Polish. Here's the link: Elektryczne Owce :]

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nah. Not my thing.

All time favourite ship?

Dio/Luna. Always always always <33

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I... dunno. I have a few that probably won't ever see the light of day, but I'd rather make that decision and leave it at "everything might one day get posted, but I don't know".

What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at descriptions, and putting out my best work possible. The latter is a result of my OCD not letting me post something without passing a very strict self-imposed "quality filter," but still. It does show in the final product, stressful as it is to get there.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Sticking with something. Sitting down and writing. Also making more happen in scenes, with more dialogue.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I've tried to pepper in some Russian in both Out on a Limb and it's just blood under the bridge for the Russian characters, and also some Spanish in Vencido, but it's all Google translated haha.

First fandom you wrote in?

Yu Yu Hakusho :]

Favourite fic you've written?

It'll probably always be Out on a Limb. I worked so hard on it and I reedited it all and made it into a book through a website (I own the only copy so it's not illegal or anything).

I'm tagging anyone who wants to do this!! :]

Twenty Questions: Fic Author Edition

@caesarflickermans tagged me to do this a little while ago and i'm procrastinating doing some actual writing so here goes

1-How many works do you have on ao3?

ten

2-What's your total AO3 word count?

105,385

3-What fandoms do you write for?

hunger games always! and i wrote a few pjo fics last summer

4-What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

we’ll fill our mouths with cinnamon

the birds were singing of you

flowers never bend with the rainfall

under the blossom that hangs on the bough

simple song

5-Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i try to! sometimes i get overwhelmed when a comment is too nice and i want to give it a thoughtful answer and then i procrastinate answering because i don't feel like i have the energy to be thoughtful enough to show how honestly genuinely grateful i am that someone left the comment and then it spirals and i just never reply lol. but i try to at least say thank you to most people because it really does mean so much to me when people comment on my work

6-What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i am a happy ending girlie at the end of the day but probably flowers because like, things are not going to get better in that au

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

probably simple song because it is just pure self indulgent romance. but maybe my post mj fic too because we know what happens next and it is happy

8-Do you get hate on fics?

hate is a strong word but one time i did write that one short post mj fic and people responded by being like "i don't like this" and i was like ... okay haha. oh and one time someone bookmarked my pjo fic and said it could've been better written but the idea was good and i was like meh i'll take it. (i was actually super offended at the time and i was like fully prepared to delete my entire archive over the comment but im over it now lol.)

9-Do you write smut? If so what kind?

no. i try to kind of fade to black or allude to sex because i do feel like it sometimes has relevancy to the plot but i don't really have an interest in writing it in detail

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

no

11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no

12-Have you ever had a fic translated?

no

13-Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

no

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

katniss/peeta

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

ugh my district 4 au. i have it outlined in such excruciating detail and i have so many scenes that i think would be so fun to write but i just cannot get the beginning to gel and i don't think it ever will

16-What are your writing strengths?

i'm not sure whether to interpret the question as what i think is good *in my writing* or what my strengths are in my process, so i guess i'll try to do both!! i think style-wise i do a nice job of trying to weave the thematic/symbolic threads in my stories together so that they conclude in a way that makes sense from the outset, and i think i have some nice moments of descriptive writing. as far as process, i think i write relatively strong first drafts which definitely makes the editing process more enjoyable

17-What are your writing weaknesses?

style-wise i think i can write some real clunky dialogue (who among us, lol) and i don't always get my pacing right. i also think i have a tendency to repeat certain words or sentence structures too much and i often will skip over things when i am not interested in them and then not edit enough to notice where the story is dragging vs where i'm skipping things. process-wise, i can be slow to think of an initial concept and then when i do have an idea i sometimes get more invested in the outline and the general plot and then i can get very easily bored if the actual writing isn't fun or it's taking a while to get to the scenes i want to write.

18-Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i don't speak any other language with an appropriate degree of fluency so i wouldn't, but i don't think it would really come up in any of my projects

19-First fandom you wrote for?

percy jackson <3 my iconic ff.net era

20-Favorite fic you've ever written?

under the blossom that hangs on the bough. it does pretty much everything i set out for it to do and i'm very proud of it. there's a couple lines i would change just because i think i wrote them kind of clunky and awkward but overall i think it's probably my best work.

i'll tag @districtunrest @rosegardeninwinter

::

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

29

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

327,391

3. What fandoms do you write for?

mainly star wars and marvel! though i don't write marvel as much anymore (the mcu really burned me too many times lol and just took away a lot of my inspiration/motivation to write for it). so mostly star wars nowadays, but occasionally i will sprinkle in a fic for a different fandom!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

a. we find ourselves when we lose everything else - 519 kudos

b. our time in the dark - 518 kudos

c. risk everything we have (and just let our walls cave in) - 426 kudos

d. if loves elastic (then were we born to test it’s reach) - 391 kudos

e. revelations (come to us in recovery) - 388 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

no 🙈. weirdly enough, i was a lot better about responding years ago on my ff. net account. but i don't really do it on ao3, honestly because i'm just a little lazy about it lol. but i promise i read every single one and know that if you've ever left a comment, i appreciate it so so much!!

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

probably broken things. it's a romanogers soulmate last words au which ended in a major character death. but you know. last words au, death. it made sense haha.

i've also written a couple canon-compliant character study type fics, including one for natasha romanoff, one for cassian andor/rogue one crew, some for leia organa (post-tfa), and well, none of those end very happily sooooo.

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

uhhhhhhh why was this so hard asdffglkhglj. i write a lot of agnst and hurt/comfort lol. but my fic, the weight of your love, is just pure kanera fluff. and these two kanera fics that i've posted on tumblr (but not on ao3 yet), are just silly and fun and fluffy.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not really, thankfully. i mean, i've gotten some not-so-nice comments in the past (again, mainly on ff.net) but i've never gotten anything super aggressive or confrontational, so i'm grateful to be in nice corners of fandom!

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

occasionally yes. typically i insert my smut scenes into longer fics though. (i do have a bunch of unpublished half-written smut fics that i haven't gotten the courage to finish and post yet, bc i'm not always the most confident in my smut writing but maybe one day!)

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

not really. i'm not even the best at coming up with AUs, much less crossovers lol. i think the closest i've gotten to a crossover is an agents of shield/mcu crossover, which shouldn't even BE a crossover, but considering that the mcu never acknowledged AoS, it kinda feels like it is. anyway, wrote a fic where daisy johnson and bucky barnes are bffs, and i'm quite fond of it!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yeah :/ i had somebody take one of my fics and (related to next question) translate it and put it on wattpad. i couldn't message the author and my attempts to contact wattpad got me nowhere so i kinda just let it go.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

looking at last question, technically yes. but other than that, not yet! i would be very honored if someone wanted to translate one of my fics though, and would have absolutely no problem with it! (so long as they asked and didn't steal it asdkfsjd)

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

only bits and pieces of shared aus with friends for fun, but haven’t published anything.

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

kanera and romanogers, hands down. kanan and hera are more recent, but i fell in love with both their characters and them as a couple so fast, and i absolutely love writing for them. they're going to stick with me forever. and steve and natasha.... my loves. fell in love with them when i saw catws the first time and haven't looked back. they've stuck with me the longest, i think. and even though i don't write marvel as much anymore, i still think about them a lot, and there's a lot of stevenat wips i have that i still hope to finish one day.

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

whew ummmmm. there's a couple of romanogers fics (specifically finishing our time in the dark and the follow-up to revelations which is an endgame fix-it) that i have told myself i will finish. and i want to! but it will really take a major push to get me back into the headspace to write for marvel again. genuinely, endgame drained so much of the love and inspiration i had so 😔 i hope i can prove myself wrong one day!

i also have ambitions to do a star wars sequels rewrite, but it feels so big lol, so idk if i'll ever actually get around to finishing it. but the bits i have written for it i have so much love for.

16. What are your writing strengths?

digging deep into character emotions and their headspaces. that's something i really like exploring. also i think i'm pretty good about including small details, particularly with using the different senses and using those to help set the scene, and whatnot. in short, description and emotion are my strong suits!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

humor. i think i can be funny sometimes in my writing, but i definitely don't think i'm as good at humor as other people. and especially funny dialogue and banter, that's something i feel like i have to think about more. so still working on that!

i also don't know if this is a true weakness, but i literally don't know when to stop writing asdfljgldkj. i feel like lately it's so hard for me to write short fics (unless i do it in a mad burst in one sitting). but if i'm thinking a lot about a fic, chances are it's going to be 5k MINIMUM.

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

i'm not real comfortable with it, especially if i don't speak the language. if it's a very short phrase or a singular word, i will try to use a translator and other online investigating (and then nicely ask people to correct me in the comments if i'm wrong lol). but if i want to have the character speaking full sentences i will usually type it out in english and then use "they said in [insert language here]" as the tagline.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

if we're going wayyy back, technically the first fic i wrote was a bones fic when i was in middleschool lmao. i wrote it in a notebook, never published it online. but i first posted fics online in high school (as a freshman i think), and i think the first fics i published were for percy jackson and supernatural lol.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

probably revelations. looking at it now, there are certainly things i would change about this one, but i wrote it on and off for 3 years, so i was just really proud when i finally finished it. and there are still a lot of character moments i wrote into this one that i still love.

also you are my solid ground. plot does not really exist in this fic, but i had the best time writing the steve/nat/sam dynamic. literally dream trio.

(real talk, some of my fave fics are ones that i haven't finished yet/haven't published yet. i think my newest favorite fic is the kanan character study one i'm working on now. i still have a little bit to go, but i'm really close to finishing it, and i'm just so proud of it. there's so much about it that i love and i can't wait to share it (hopefully by the end of the year!)).

no pressure tagging: @effie-trinket and anyone else who would like to participate!

[thelittleredheadedmusician]

I’ve been tagged by @klaineharmony and @wordshakerofgallifrey in one version of this and b @radioactivepigeons in another so I combined the 2 (there was one question difference lmao).

How many works do you have on Ao3? 

146 (and like many who have done this before me, a couple are drabble collections and such)

What's your total Ao3 word count? 

530,111 words which... wow.

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? 

Oh dear GOD if I listed each individual comic series we’d be here all day. We’re gonna go with the five I know for sure off the top of my head w/ the 3 big subcategories for comics. 

DCU 

> Batman comics

> Teen Titans/Titans comics

> Young Justice cartoon

Newsies

Les Mis

Percy Jackson

Harry Potter

What are your top five fics by kudos?

All of these are older and Batfandom so I’m not even remotely surprised by this. 

Family Gatherings Dick wakes up to a text from Bruce asking that the whole family meet at the Manor that night, causing him to stress out all day.

No Judgement Damian crashes at Jason's apartment and has to explain to Jason why.

Nursing a Sick Bird Tim loses contact with his family when he gets sick for a week, causing Dick to come and check in on him.

Bat Kid Jam Sessions All of Bruce's kids play an instrument which gives Dick Grayson and Jason Todd an idea.

Annual Wayne Enterprises Take Your Kid to Work Day Bruce has Tim, Damian, and Dick all coming to WE for the day and he's a bit nervous over what kind of mess they might make.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not? 

I do! Though I see now there’s a bunch sitting there that I haven’t yet. I’ll get to them when I’ve got more spoons. I love interacting with people and knowing what they like about my stories and writing. It makes me really really happy. 

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I don’t really write angst? I don’t think I write angst. I write a lot of ennui. So much ennui. And bittersweet endings. Donna Troy and the Outlaws may be the closest to an angsty ending cause they only get one resurrection out of a possible two? But again, it’s more bittersweet than anything. 

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

DO I EVER. Yes. Yes I write crossovers. Mainly modern au newsies/les mis cause it just makes sense. The craziest one has to be from my main newsies/les mis series A crooked politician? Yeah but that ain't news no more where I dropped so many references in media, networking, and other things you don't learn in a lecture to Hairspray and Hamilton characters that I wrote the “shit show” of the four musicals being combined in a modern au that I alluded to (and I think I was encouraged if I remember correctly) and it’s called Cautionary Tale.

Have you ever received hate on a fic? 

Not so much hate as someone doing what was essentially a “well, actually” on the politics in one of my Crooked Politician fics. The moral of the story is character views and emotions and blatant optimism do not directly reflect that of the author and I did study political science and know my stuff. OH! And then there’s my crowning glory of a DIFFERENT Crooked Politician fic being quoted out of context in a New York Times article. That isn’t really hate but it was certainly something. 

Do you write smut? If so what kind? 

Haha. No. 

Have you ever had a fic stolen? 

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I welcome translations and podfics!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! @wordshakerofgallifrey and I cowrote Costs of Civil Disobedience as part of her Piano Man au and by that I mean were LITERALLY typing in the same doc at the same time. It was wild and amazing. From Across the Bar isn’t cowritten but is my companion to her fic Play Me A Memory. @radioactivepigeons were working on a leverage!newsies au but then we both got busy. 

What's your all time favorite ship? 

I? Don’t think I have one? Uh... Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing? Parker/Hardison/Eliot from Leverage are the ultimate ot3? I care very little about ships. If I like it, I like it. If it squicks me, it squicks me. If I don’t care, I don’t care. Sorry?

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? 

Oh the Batfam Ghostbusters au. The concept is still solid but I just don’t have the motivation or know where I would go with what stands. If anything I’d strip it for parts and write it new.��

What are your writing strengths?

I have been told my descriptions are really strong but personally I think that my character voices/dialogue is. Also my ability to write teenaged ennui. Any ennui. It’s a mood. 

What are your writing weaknesses? 

Grammar! I do weird shit with my sentence breaks and make run ons and just absolutely butcher punctuation. And balancing characters in ensembles. That’s hard. 

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I’m going to quote @radioactivepigeons here cause I agree with it wholeheartedly and she puts it better than I possibly can rn: “I think there needs to be a narrative purpose. Like, is it building dramatic irony? Is someone being purposefully excluded from the conversation? Is there a characterization where the linguistic difference matters?“ If the answer is no then just note it’s being said in the other language. 

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for? 

Actually physically wrote a story out? Batman. I wrote a “patrol report” as Batgirl to my friend as though she were Robin in middle school as part of a christmas present. 

What's your favourite fic you've ever written? 

Oh this is hard. Uh glitter and gold is like my love of DC characters made manifest and is absurdly long but like there’s certainly scenes I like more than others. Three Card Draw might be my favorite? I love the vibes and the little world I made and using it to work out my own thoughts about gods and magic as a stepping stone for my original stuff. 

Since I think literally everyone I know in the newsies fandom has been tagged in this at some point I’m going to kick it towards the dc folks. Absolutely no pressure to do this. @audreycritter @oh-mother-of-darkness @sohotthateveryonedied @preciousthingsareprecious @whore4batfam

[incomprehensiblelentils]

@dollsome-does-tumblr​ does this and opened it up to anyone and I am feeling chatty today SO!

Because I co-write a lot with my lovely wife, I might answer some questions including those co-written stories, or I might not, depends on how I feel when I get there.

name:

Megan but I go by Lentils most places on the internet, Shadowcrawler over on AO3

fandoms:

at the moment: MCU, especially Agents of SHIELD and Daredevil; Terminator: Dark Fate; Halt and Catch Fire. Oh and I wrote Dollhouse fanfics a thousand years ago. Sometimes I will watch a movie/show and think “those two girls should be gay” and bang out 2k of fic about it and then never write for that fandom again. (I THOUGHT this was going to be HACF but as it turns out, no, it’s not done with me yet.)

where you post:

AO3, at Shadowcrawler. I also have a tumblr @lentils-writes​ where theoretically I post links to fics/advertise them in the tags, because I used to be real precious about not putting porn on this blog, but fuck it.

most popular multi-chapter fic:

Co-written, it’s definitely mallverse, which is I think the reason most writers definitely hate us because it’s very long and there are a lot of tags lmao. The problem is that every tagged character HAS shown up in a significant fashion at some point so we can’t just...untag them! It doesn’t update weekly anymore because we’re exhausted by life lmao so at least there’s that???

As for a multi-chapter fic that was just me, I don’t tend to do that so much, so actually it’s say you will, my 3-chapter Endgame fix-it where Clint dies instead of Natasha and Natasha and Laura have a past. It actually has over 1000 hits which is very exciting! I feel like it’s...niche in a way that is frustrating but understandable lol. I put a lot of my heart into it and some people really liked it, so that’s gratifying.

favorite story you’ve written so far:

Co-written, I think our SHIELD Dollhouse AU is very underrated for the amount of work we put into it. Author bias evident here because I love Dollhouse warts and all, and it’s a lot of fun translating episode plots as well as the general trajectory of the show into stuff that will work with SHIELD characters. We don’t just rewrite episodes, we really try and rework them as needed. Also it features both Skimmons and my beloved rarepair Bobbi/Kara, though of course they won’t get together until later.

Of my own stuff, I’m still really really proud of the AU where Kara Palamas didn’t die. I think that was a pretty severe misstep of the show and I think I did a good job of fixing it. (I haven’t forgotten Kara, promise!)

fic you were nervous to post:

lolololol I wrote some uh. Terminator pornography last year and. They are very porny! I had co-written a bunch of smut obviously, but that was the first time I’d posted like, PWP all by myself on purpose??? and that was TERRIFYING. Also I was very nervous to post the Engame fix-it because that was my own personal goodbye/tribute to Natasha.

how you choose your titles:

They are always either song lyrics or jokes (such as Three Lawyers and a Baby, my Daredevil Accidental Baby Acquisition fic). My WIP docs are always titled either obvious shit like “RoseJannah horse girls” or memes like “what if we belonged to a fire cult and we fucked haha just kidding unless...?” or “Morgan has two mommies.”

do you outline?:

B and I typically outline for the co-written fics, although it’s more often chapter-by-chapter outlines since that’s how we write them. On occasion we’ve fully planned multi-chapter stuff out in advance but that’s less common. Oh and the one-shots are nearly always outlined as well, just to keep ourselves organized.

When I have written planned multi-chapter fics in the past I have used outlines - particularly for the Kara one and I had to do that for the SHIELD Kill Bill AU because I was trying to follow the format of the movie. For things that are allegedly supposed to be one-shots I almost never outline, which turns out to be a terrible idea when they inevitably balloon beyond my control and become 45k like say you will. That one, I wrote out a list of scenes I thought needed to be in it and then I wrote about 75% of those scenes and then I wrote a bunch more scenes I hadn’t planned for. Don’t be like me, kids!

complete fics:

According to AO3, 89 as of right now. Uh, you do not want me to list all of them, here’s a link, I guess!

in progress:

I don’t understand what the difference is between this question and the WIP questions lmao help????

posted WIPs that I have active plans to continue at this time:

Cowritten: mallverse as I said, and its femslash smut oneshots spinoff and character flashbacks spinoff and older characters/teachers spinoff (these get updated, uh, irregularly), the first half of a Piper/Snowflake SHIELD s7 fic that we are planning on finishing the second half of soonish, SHIELD Dollhouse AU, SHIELD Teen Beach AU, SHIELD Buffy AU. You may notice a pattern!

By myself, I have: Have Your Elf a Merry Little Christmas, a Terminator Hallmark Christmas fic that I ambitiously posted the first chapter of in 2019 and then lost steam immediately (I am going to go back to it sooner or later bc I had some cute ideas for it); the SHIELD Fate of the Furious AU that has one chapter to go and which I do intend on finishing eventually; Three Lawyers and a Little Lady, the Daredevil Accidentally Baby Acquisition AU that is literally just cute kidfic and poly avocados and which I have a bunch of ideas for and just need to buckle down and finish some.

posted WIPs that I have given up on:

Lol so there’s a Dollhouse Caroline/Bennett Doctor Who AU that I wrote purely as idfic and which nobody ever cared about except me, and I think that ship has sailed! RIP darlings. I also had an ongoing Skimmons series waaaay back when where I posted oneshots that were like missing scenes or gay readings for each s1 episode, and I just feel like it would be inauthentic to even try and finish it at this point. (It does include the first ever Skimmons fic to be posted on AO3! Really truly, there’s one fic that shows up as older but it’s an ongoing fic and was updated with the tag way after I posted mine.)

exchange fics due soon/unrevealed:

I haven’t done an exchange since like 2015 lololol I am so bad at them. I am currently working on finishing up my MCU Femslash bingo card, very late, and I do have plans for almost all of the remaining squares!

WIPs that live in my fanfic folder and are incomplete and who knows when they’ll be finished:

“RoseJannah horse girls,” which has been put on hold temporarily but is literally just Rose and Jannah being gay while riding orbaks

half of a Daisy/Gwen fic from Marvel Rising because I know they’re not making any more of those but I stg those two were really gay

multiple fics about Elise Nelson-Page including: avocados Halloween with smol Elise, Aunt Elektra very reluctantly taking smol Elise shopping until she realizes smol Elise also likes weapons (she buys her a fake katana), Uncle Frank is a pushover and spoils the shit out of Elise, and baby Elise has a high fever and everyone freaks out but then she gets better and smile at them for the first time (inspired by baby me lol).

coming soon/not yet started:

“Morgan has two mommies,” yet another Endgame fix-it where Maya Hansen did not die in Iron Man 3 and she resurfaces and she and Pepper kiss and eventually she adopts Morgan

Claire and Colleen go on a nice date to get coffee/tea where Danny doesn’t interrupt them goddammit

Bobbi/Kara Warehouse 13 AU which is sort of like “For the Team” but gayer ft. grappling hook

X-Men: Evolution Tabby/Amara fluff

Cameron/Donna character study disguised as smut

Grace proposes to Dani with a ring made out of the metal from her power source and Carl officiates the wedding 

Dani gets horny watching Grace eat a peach and jerks off and Grace ends up hearing her and then they fuck (I have been calling this “the peach fic” in my head but I gotta stop being delicate about it lmfao it is just porn)

B and I have plans to do a Nico/Karolina Jasper in Deadland AU but we keep forgetting

I MUST WRITE FOGGY AND KAREN SADLY FUCKING IN A CHURCH WHILE THEY MOURN MATT THIS YEAR I STG

do you accept prompts:

uhhhhhh I have on occasion written a prompt for someone before but it’s pretty rare and I have enough trouble writing the shit I come up with in my own head lol. but never say never?

upcoming story you are most excited to write:

I’ve got a bit of the Bobbi/Kara Warehouse fic written and it’s nice to go back to that world. Also I’m weirdly excited about the Cam/Donna smutty character study I mentioned above, I have a lot of what I think are good ideas for it and it’ll be fun.

tagging @unwind-myself @swiftzeldas @swashbucklery @loved-the-stars-too-fondly and, if you want to, you!

[erindarroch]

i love all yr stories, yr own and the cowritten ones too. How did you start to write with someone else and will you ever do your own again like another remain in light?

Aw, thank you Anon. You’re so kind to message me and tell me this. It really makes my day. 

While I was writing Remain in Light, I was searching my mind for a suitable location for Han and Leia’s long-awaited reunion, which occurred at the end of Chapter 10 (and carried on for a few more chapters...they missed each other..a LOT... haha). I wanted the location of their reunion to be a place that meant something to them both, and I thought of Ord Mantell (where, according to my head canon, their budding romance had hit a snag and they’d fallen out with each other big-time, not long before the Battle of Hoth, all those years ago). 

I really liked the version of Ord Mantell that was conceived by Sue Zahn in her story Mergers and Acquisitions, so I messaged her to ask if she would mind me borrowing her unique concept of Ord Mantell for my story. She very graciously gave the nod, and then (after I’d published Remain in Light), she got in touch with me to tell me how much she’d enjoyed reading it, and to ask if I would be interested in collaborating with her. Of course, I was deeply flattered that someone as talented as Sue would think my writing on par with her own, and I was delighted to accept. 

She had four specific fics in mind, which she was hoping to finish in time to include them in a ‘zine she was publishing. We worked rather intensely together for about five months and got all of those written in time (phew), and then Sue decided to go on hiatus again, having been on extended hiatus for about 7-8 years prior to that. (Psst! Rumour has it that she might have another story or two to tell before long, though, so this hiatus may not be as long as the last one.) 

So I went back to writing on my own for a while. In that time, I produced just two stories, iirc. One of those was Louder Than Words, and the other was Cargo Handler (I think I also wrote a couple of 100-word drabbles). I also wrote a couple of brief follow-ups to Remain in Light, just to round off the story a bit, as I was pretty much done with Disney canon by that point. Those two solo fics were Recursion and The Double Edge. I was still struggling to finish The Double Edge when I got a series of reviews from Justine Graham, and we struck up a correspondence. She then emailed me with a suggestion for a follow-up to Cargo Handler, which I thought was an adorable idea. It involved Han performing a pseudo “inspection” of Leia, and I thought it was just too good an idea to snatch and grab, and take it for my own. So I invited @jhgraham to write it with me. We asked Sue to beta, and Sue came back saying that it was good, but it just wasn’t long enough, and not satisfying the way that we had originally constructed it, and it should be longer and more fully developed. We took her suggestions and ran with them, and the result was our first collaboration The Only Constant. We’ve now written around 15 fics together, with more on the way. 

As to whether I will ever go back to writing on my own, uhhhh, I doubt it very much. I’d never say never, because you never know when an idea for a drabble will strike (indeed, I think I have written a couple more on my own since we started collaborating), and JG may likewise have fics she’d like to do on her own. 

But on the whole I much prefer working with JG to working on my own. It’s just too much fun! Once we got over our nervousness (it is SCARY to write in front of someone else, let me tell you), we became really good friends. We chat pretty much every day and we’re always working on something. It’s a very enjoyable pastime, made even more enjoyable by the camaraderie between us. And now we’re both super excited because we actually get to meet in person next month. How cool is that!? 

Thanks for getting in touch, Anon, and I hope my ridiculously long and detailed answer doesn’t put you (or others) off asking me questions! =D

My Football RPF Masterlist

People do these right? Anyways here’s mine. Because it’s like 60 some stories... 

Updated as of: August 30, 2017 (now also with links to tumblr drabbles, and translations)

Um alphabetically, I guess? Because why not? (w/ sequels underneath them if they exist). All with links to AO3.

Story-Summary-Pairing/Gen-Wordcount-Rating (plus my thoughts on it) 

ÀnimsRafinha (completed):  Rafinha wakes up in the middle of the night, sweating through his shirt, his heart pounding and knee *screaming*. He aches, desperately aches, the pain medication having worn off way too soon. He covers his eyes and tries to hold back a sob, biting his lip as it all becomes too much. A whimper escapes though, and the warm bodies on either side of him are suddenly awake.

Gen, words: 907, rating: General Audiences

One of my least popular stories. Probably because it’s gen, and it doesn’t contain Leo either. I wrote it after he tore his ACL against Roma in the Champions League. But I still like it because it features the Brazilians as a big family. 

Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me (completed):  Dani smiles again, playing with the empty coffee cup on the table in front of him. He slides it around its saucer, spinning it aimlessly. "Yes, I'm sure. The thing is," he says, finally letting go and putting his hands flat on the table. "Well..." He stares up at Leo and shrugs. "It's time."

Leo blinks, not understanding, feeling unsettled at how motionless Dani is. Leo doesn't ever remember seeing him so still. Then things suddenly start falling into place. "Dani, did you really decide you'd wait until I had a head injury to tell me that you're leaving?" He closes his eyes and sighs. "Really?"

Gen, words: 1203, rating: General Audiences

Now translated into Russian by Alessandriata on AO3.

How I said goodbye to Dani Alves, basically. Bittersweet.

Be Happy (completed): Neymar wants to chase him, wants to hug him, wants to tell him something. But the words just won’t come. And he can’t make his feet move.

He knows what Leo is like after a loss. Because it’s usually his loss too. But this, this is Argentina’s loss. This is Argentina’s Messi. And that’s a whole different creature. It isn’t his Leo, who smiles and plays so happily, who jumps onto him with excitement.

No, Argentina’s Messi is weary.

Leo/Neymar, words: 4314, rating: Explicit

Comfort Neymessi after Argentina and Brazil played each other for the World Cup Qualifiers. Brazil won, and I needed to cheer Leo up.

Bend Over Baby, Daddy Wants a Taste (completed): The last seconds of the game are ticking away.

And Cristiano should probably be getting into the wall. But he has one more thing to say to Leo. He leans in close and bends down to whisper into the smaller man's ear. "The next time you bend over like that," he whispers hotly as his lips graze Leo's skin, "it's going to be because I'm eating you out."

(Originally written for a prompt at the kink meme.) 

Leo/Cristiano, words: 5103, rating: Explicit

One of the first things I ever wrote. Incredibly dirty. Porn without plot, though this was back when I had to write for awhile before I could make myself write smut, so it does have bit of a beginning. (Now with art)

The Best in the Galaxy (completed, Sekhmet series co-written with @purpleyulin ): Cris’ fingers itch for his sword. It’s safely tucked in the sheath on his belt, always at hand. But hearing Messi’s whips crack through the air, sizzling with energy, has gotten his blood pumping. After a minute of simply watching, Cris reaches for his own shirt, pulling it over his head and dropping it onto the ground carelessly. He rolls his neck, shaking out his shoulders and arms, loosening his body in preparation.

He’s tired of watching.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 4548, rating: Explicit

Cowritten with yulin, and truly I’m so honored she let me play around in her universe. This is quite fun--a future gladiator AU inspired by the Samsung Galaxy 11 commericals.

Something's Changed (completed, same universe): Normally Cris likes fighting against Ramos. They use the same weapon which adds a layer of difficulty to what otherwise could be a very quick fight. And Ramos is close enough to Cris’ level that sometimes it takes longer than normal to defeat him. He’s also friendly, abnormally chatty and full of gossip, which allows Cris to hear what’s going on with those around them.

Not that Cris *really* cares, but it's still good to be aware of things.

Except today, Ramos seems keen to talk about Cris.

“Something’s changed,” Ramos insists, ducking when Cris darts toward him. He somersaults under Cris’ arm and comes up in a defensive position. “You’re usually a dick, but now you’re even more of one. And you’re going to burn out. End up dead in the arena because you’re exhausted.”

Cris flinches at that, stepping backward as if Ramos has struck him.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2923, rating: Mature

This was the opportunity to write a follow up to my first fic, and also to explore the first kiss between Leo and Cris. Minimal Cris/Leo action, but it was mainly written to get inside of Cris’ head and explore his feelings.

Wait Until I'm Ready (completed, same universe): Leo’s fingers wiggle down by his sides, unconsciously, almost brushing against the handles of his whips. “That’s not how it’s going to go,” he whispers, dropping his head back down so his dark eyes can meet Cris’. His hands go to his shirt and he fiddles with the hem as if he’s thinking. Then he slides his hands down his chest. “You’re going to stand right there,” he says, blushing. “And you’re going to wait until I’m ready.” His voice is still as soft and quiet as it always is, but there’s something mischievous there too. 

Cris stares at him curiously, willing to play along. “Oh, am I?” he ponders out loud. He toes his boots off and leaves them by the door. His feet sink into the dirt and he wonders how Leo looks so comfortable. After a moment, he gets used to the feeling and he shrugs his shoulders to loosen up. “I suppose I could wait a minute,” he allows. 

Leo looks at him challengingly. Then he pulls his shirt off, throwing it behind him. His body is trembling, either from the cold or from the anticipation. “Yes,” he says softly. “Wait,” he says, swaying slightly again. “Wait until I’m ready.”

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2013, rating: Mature 

I wrote chapter one, and yulin wrote chapter 2. Basically inspired from a discussion we had, where we thought that Leo’s control with whips was so good that he could probably tear Cris’ clothes from his body without hurting him.

The Best in the Galaxy: Take Two (completed): Leo understands too late that Ronaldo has changed his strategy.

It’s unexpected and unpredictable--something that Leo is completely thrown by. They’re only sparring, and not out in the arena fighting to the first blood. Leo has to think quickly if he doesn’t want to kill the other man. He barely has a second to pull back his whip before it slices through Ronaldo’s skin, and thankfuly his reflexes allow him to do so. But while Leo’s body is usually prepared for anything, this quick movement throws him off balance. Ronaldo slams into him and pins him to the ground, the other man pressing him into the dirt gleefully.

Leo’s never given up on a fight in his entire life, though, and he fights to escape. Ronaldo is heavier than expected, the taller man built entirely out of muscle, and his bulk refuses to move. Leo realizes this instantly and instead reaches for his whips knowing that they’re his only chance to win. Somehow they’ve flown out of his hands, and his fingers tingle as he reaches for them. But he’s tired, and his whips know it, so they merely sizzle tantalizingly and remain where they are.

He claws his hands inot the dirt and sighs.

This is something that I rarely do, but yulin had mentioned wondering what Leo was thinking during the events of The Best in the Galaxy. And I thought, hmm, I could try to rewrite the story from Leo’s pov. I’m not sure if one version is better than the other, but it was an interesting exercise and just an excuse to write more Cris/Leo haha.

Call Me (completed): Kun lets it go on a little longer.

Mainly because it amuses him to see others fall into Leo's trap.

Trap really isn't the right word, he muses, taking a sip of his drink and watching what's going on unnoticed over against the wall. The alcohol burns on the way down and he relishes the feeling. Not a trap, he thinks again, taking in the curve of the jaw and the brilliant white teeth in the smile of the man standing over Leo.

It's not a trap, because they all want to be there.

They just don't really realize it's happening, and that's the funny part.

Leo/Kun, implied Leo/Cristiano & Leo/Neymar/Kun, words: 4620, rating: Explicit

I like this one. It was my adventure in writing cocky, confident Leo instead of shy, sweet Leo. He’s hot shit and he knows it, and as always, Kun’s quite okay with that.

Campeones (completed): He's sandwiched between Ney and Luis, and they're all screaming and laughing and singing, voices hoarse and out of tune, jumping up and down in joy. Still in disbelief, still celebrating, still riding high from defeating Atletico and winning the league. He and Neymar lost their jerseys sometime during the celebration and Leo's wondering when, because everything's become a blur.

Neymar's giggling in Leo's face, hands clamped around Leo's neck, while Luis is plastered to Leo's back with his arms wrapped around both of them. And Leo can't stop smiling, can't stop grinning, his heart racing as he buries his face in Neymar's throat and tries to breathe, tries to remember this moment.

My first MSN fic, really. Just smut.

Can't Read My Poker Face (completed): Piqué is a couple drinks in when he suggests it.

A couple of drinks in and losing badly.

"Are you serious?" Cristiano asks, arching an eyebrow as he shuffles the deck in his hands. He's won a fair amount of money tonight just playing five card draw, but now it appears as though his friend has nothing more to give over. "What are you? 13 years old?" He bends the pile and flips through the ends of the cards aimlessly with his thumb. "Or you just think Shakira will be happier with you losing your clothes as opposed to losing her money?

"Piqué takes a swig of his beer and then wipes his mouth. "Alright, alright, she gave me a limit... But, you're never too old for strip poker," he slurs out, giggling. "Right, Leo?"

They both look over to Messi. The other man has been quiet all night, only joining the poker table after Sergio and James had gone outside on the patio with the rest of the crowd.

Messi's cheeks are pink at the sudden attention. "I've never played,” he mumbles, starting to fidget with his ear.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2861, rating: Mature

Strip poker. Had to happen with all the poker commercials that Cristiano’s been doing. Oh and Leo keeps stripping his clothes off on the pitch, so obviously, I had to write about that lol.

Come Stop Your Crying, It Will Be Alright (completed): Masche had fucked Leo once.

It had been after Copa América.

He thinks about it time to time. Something will spark his memory and he'll remember the way Leo had looked, trembling beneath him.It's not something he talks about. When his teammates have had a few drinks and start throwing around stories of drunken fumblings, or those few times they've crossed the line during celebrations or defeats (because, let's face it, everyone's done it), Masche stays silent.

But he remembers.

Leo/Masche, words: 705, rating: Explicit

My first Maschessi. My headcanon is that these two have a really deep friendship, and this was the one time they’d crossed the line. Short, more about the feelings than the actual sex.

Come to Me (completed):  "I have to tell you a secret, Pai," Junior says, speaking in that tone of voice kids use when they think they're being quiet. He looks up at Cristiano and widens his eyes, his little fingers clinging to Cristiano's training top.

Cristiano keeps his face serious, even though he can see that his teammates are hiding smiles as they continue to eat beside them. Nani coughs to disguise a laugh, but Cristiano ignores him. "What is it?" he asks, rubbing Junior's back.

Junior sneaks a glance at Pepe. "I can't tell you here," he says, turning back to Cristiano, looking crestfallen.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2843, rating: General Audiences

A post-Copa loss fic, one that I felt incredibly sad writing. Pros? Writing Junior is always a treat, because that kid is so adorable that he writes himself. Cons? Having to think about Leo’s heartbreaking loss, once again. (If you squint, it is a sequel to I Have Not Won Anything.) 

Congratulations (completed, Leo Gets Married series): “Hey,” Leo says, holding the phone up to his ear, trying not to get in the way of his stylist. “Congratulations.” He hears a laugh on the other end and his smile grows as he stares at his reflection. “You didn’t write this was the reason for refusing on your RSVP.”

Gen Leo & Cristiano, words: 650, rating: General Audiences

Part 1 of Leo Gets Married. In general, I think that Leo’s wedding is sort of a sacred thing that shouldn’t be touched. I’ve never hated Antonella, and in fact, I quite like her and I’m so happy that she and Leo are together. Though a lot of people wanted to write fic surrounding the wedding (with either Cristiano or Neymar reacting to losing their lover or whatever), I decided to a series of friendship drabbles instead. 

Your Special Day (completed, same series and universe): Leo braces himself for the hug, but then Dani’s arms are around him and he finds that he can’t help but relax. “I’m thirty now Dani, I don’t think you can keep calling me a baby,” he murmurs into Dani’s ear, resting his head on his shoulder. “Most people would say that’s pretty darn grown up, eh?”

Dani squeezes him. “Nonsense,” he says laughing. “Thirty, shmirty,” he says nonsensically, clapping Leo on the back until finally they both need to breathe. He straightens and pats Leo on the cheek. “Now,” he says, all business, “who do I talk to about arranging the bachelor party. I have so many ideas, and I know you’re going to love it.” He grins. “We have to send you off properly, you know.”

Gen Leo & Dani Alves, words: 650, rating: General Audiences

Of course, Dani Alves was going to be at Leo’s wedding. But he didn’t arrive for any of the pre-wedding festivities, and I imagine he was disappointed in that lol.

Pretend I'm Genuinely Congratulating You (completed, same series and universe): “Oh, thank God,” Masche says, as soon as he sees Leo. He quickly looks over his shoulder at where Fernanda is talking to Anto in the hallway. “I was worried I was in trouble there. Quick, give me a big hug and pretend I’m genuinely congratulating you.” He opens his arms wide and leans in to squeeze Leo. “Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!” he says loudly.

Leo is lost.

“Why are we even friends?” he asks out loud, even as he’s letting Masche pull him closer.

Gen Leo & Masche, words: 650, rating: General Audiences

Masche grew a rather impressive beard in a short amount of time. I can’t imagine that his wife wanted him to keep it! But if Anto let Leo keep his...

You're Here Now (completed, same series and universe): Leo’s not exactly nervous about walking down the aisle, but he’d be lying if he said that he wasn’t feeling the adrenaline. So when there’s some irritated whispering along with a bunch of hushed voices over next to the entrance, he pokes his head to the side and says, “What’s the hold up?” His parents are frowning beside him, but Leo takes a few steps forward to see what’s going on.

It’s not so much what, as it is who: Neymar.

Gen Leo & Neymar, words: 650, rating: General Audiences

There was this big speculation as to whether Neymar was going to the wedding. But of course he showed up!

Could Have Just Eloped (completed, same series and universe): “Here,” Luis offers quietly. He turns to the side, handing Leo the gourd he’d been hiding behind his back. He places his thermos on a table, letting it blend in behind one of the lamps. “I could tell you needed some. Just you though, there’s not enough for Mateo,” he jokes.

Mateo’s playing at their feet with a race car and doesn’t even look up as Luis speaks.

Leo smiles and takes the drink with relief. “This is why you’re the best,” he says gratefully, lips closing around the metal straw. He takes a long sip, savoring it while he can. “Anto cut me off,” he admits, looking across the room at the crowd of people talking and laughing. “And it’s been hours. Whenever I think I’m going to get a chance to go find some, someone comes over to talk to me,” he complains, leaning against the wall.

Gen Leo & Luis, words: 650, rating: General Audiences

These two are just so cute nowadays. And the way Luis always has the mate, you just know that Leo’s going to be having some.

Nothing Else Matters (completed, same series and universe): "Are you nervous?" Geri asks, sidling up to him in the hallway when Leo's alone for a second. Geri's big paw pulls him into a hug, fingers automatically moving to fiddle with Leo's ear. "You can tell me, I can have Shak on standby for any last minute tips. She's been not so subtly trying to ask if you've been practicing on your downtime."

Leo sighs into Geri's shoulder, giving his friend a squeeze. Because while he's not nervous about marrying Anto, dancing with her in front of everyone is a bit of a different story.

"I think it gave her a bit of a thrill to be dancing with someone closer to her height, for a change," Geri continues, his voice rumbling through Leo's body. "Did she wear her heels for your lessons? Actually, she probably didn't, right? Didn't want to totally intimidate you."

Gen Leo & Geri, words: 550, rating: General Audiences

I accidentally made this a hundred words shorter than the other drabbles in the series and that really annoys me lol. But anyways, had to include a moment with Geri. There was speculation he and Shakira wouldn’t be at the wedding either, and I’m glad they came and had a good time together.

David Villa, Temporary Masseur (completed): Leo rolls his eyes. "How did you get roped into this?" He asks, gesturing around the room with the hand that isn't securing his towel.

Villa shrugs as he starts to take off his rings. "Someone apparently said I was good with my hands."

He stares right at Leo as he drops the rings one by one onto a little tray sitting on the table. "They weren't wrong," he says grinning, as he slides off the leather bracelets wrapped around his wrist.

(Originally written for a prompt at the kink meme.)

Leo/David, words: 9848, rating: Explicit

MY FIRST FIC IN THIS FANDOM which is pretty funny actually, because I chose a pairing that I wasn’t super into at the time. I just saw Leo and was like, huh, I think I can write this. I have a fondness for massage fic, tbh. 

Table for Two (the sequel, wip): Gerard points to his neck, where there's a blotchy purple bruise. "You got some. You totally got some." He laughs again. "When did you find the time? And who was it? I didn't know you had a new girl." He grins at Leo and pats him on the cheek. "Come on, tell me all about it. When will I meet her?"

Leo's cheeks flush. "I don't have to tell you everything, Geri," he says as he turns back to the bed. "Don't be so nosy." He's all of a sudden self-conscious. He can't help thinking of every mark David left on his body.

Leo/David, words: 7246, rating: currently, Mature

Currently stalled a bit. Part of it is that, like I said, I wasn’t totally into this pairing. I don’t quite have the best grasp on David’s character, so I’m finding it hard to continue this one. It’s been awhile since I’ve updated it, but I have not abandoned it.

Do You Want a Sip? (completed): Luis' eyes stare admiringly at Leo's flat stomach and pectoral muscles, lingering on his nipples, before trailing up the long line of Leo's throat. His fingers twitch where he holds his gourd. The words are coming out of his mouth before he has time to think about it. "Do you want a sip?"

For all the times they've sat together in the locker room, Luis has never offered to share his mate with Leo--or anyone. It's not really his custom, though he knows many others freely share. There's not much left right now anyway, but he knows Leo is a fan of mate. And he likes Leo... really likes Leo. Leo, above everyone, has made him feel welcome and included.

And... Leo looks as tired as Luis feels.

So Luis offers. Maybe not properly, but he offers.

Now translated into Chinese by Lucialov

My first Leo/Luis fic. I really think they have chemistry, on and off the field--clearly have such a good relationship and I wanted to try to explore that. This one started okay but I wasn’t happy with the way it progressed in the later chapters lol. If I had to do it again, I’d just post the first chapter as a oneshot.

 Drabbles to Nowhere (wip): Drabbles/fic I started but have lost interest in. Mainly things I wanted to explore more, but ended somewhat abruptly. Ratings may change. Additional tags, characters, pairings will be added.

He Walks Off: Neymar finds out about Leo's back injury against Honduras.

Leaving on a Jet Plane: Leo's back is plaguing him on the flight to New Jersey. Kun is worried.

implied Leo/Neymar, gen Leo/Kun, words: 2465, rating: General Audiences

These were things I wrote but have given up on, although they do seem individually complete. Part of the problem is that after Leo lost Copa America, I found it difficult to continue them. Currently just two stories, though I will probably add some more random things at some point.

Five Times Neymar Walked in on Them & One Time He Finally Joined in (completed): He doesn't mean to watch, really he doesn't.

But Neymar finds he can't look away, and actually gets a little aroused because really, watching Cristiano fuck is like free porn. In any case, he isn't standing there very long before Cristiano notices the light flooding in from the hallway, and the figure standing in the doorway.

"Can I help you?" Cristiano asks pointedly, a little breathless, hips stilling as he turns his head in Neymar's direction. Cristiano's fingers tighten on the thighs wrapped around his waist, clearly eager to get back to what he was doing, but other than that he looks entirely at ease with his nudity and the situation. His chest is heaving as he blinks in the direction of the light and squints. "Is that--Neymar?"

Neymar can't see who is with him.

Leo/Cristiano/Neymar, words: 31583, rating: Explicit

This is probably the story most people think of when they think of my name. And it started as a joke, a little way to stop ship wars between Leo/Neymar fans and Leo/Cristiano fans. Somehow it spiraled into something more than smut, something angsty and full of feeling. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Snapshots (not exactly a sequel, but same universe, wip):  Short stories taking place in my threesome verse. 

Time Does Not Heal All Wounds

New tears are appearing as fast as Cristiano wipes the old ones away, while Leo grits his teeth and shakes. "I'm not, Cris," Leo says, "I'm not okay." His hands fist into Cristiano's shirt, while he turns his face into Cristiano's neck. "I don't understand," he says wetly, voice muffled. "Why, why, why?"

Leo/Cristiano, words: 3363, rating: Explicit

I wanted to explore Leo’s 2015 Copa loss in the same universe as 5x Neymar, but I didn’t want Neymar to be there--he had his own shit to deal with. I wanted that Leo/Cristiano interaction. That ficlet is finished, though I’ve left this story incomplete because I do plan on adding other snippets and outtakes from the 5x Neymar universe.

Kiss Me Hard Before You Go (the direct sequel to 5x Neymar, wip): And then Neymar gets it.

Gets that Cristiano wants to talk to Leo, alone.

Without Neymar.

He feels something strange inside his chest, as if someone were reaching in and squeezing--squeezing hard--putting pressure on his heart and lungs and everything inside him. It's tight, everything is tight, like there isn't enough room for air, there isn't room for anything. He can feel the blood rushing through his ears, drowning out all the sounds around him. And now he isn't saying anything and they must both be staring at him, both waiting for him to leave, to go to the bathroom by himself...

Leo/Cristiano/Neymar, words: 33054, rating: Explicit

The first story (5x Neymar) was more about Neymar and Leo, whereas in this story I wanted to explore Neymar’s relationship with Cristiano. I’ve been working forever on the last chapter because I really want to get it right. This is by far the story I get asked about the most, regarding updates. 

A Friend in Need (completed): "Anyone would think that your team lost the game," Kun eventually says, the words echoing slightly through the empty room. He walks closer until he's only a few feet away from the other man.

Leo finally moves, fingers scratching through his hair before he lifts his head to meet Kun's gaze. His eyes are dry, not even red rimmed, but he still stares at Kun dully. "May as well have," he says hoarsely, looking as though the weight of the world rests on his shoulders.

And in the football world, perhaps it does.

92 minutes of brilliance, but 1 minute of being human--and that 1 minute is how they'll remember his performance.

Leo/Kun, words: 1188, rating: Explicit

I adore kunessi. This was my first kunessi, so I have a soft spot for it. These two together, I just, don’t know how to explain it. I kinda forget that Kunessi exists sometimes, with both of them off playing for their clubs. But when international break rolls around, all my love for it surfaces again.

A Friend Indeed (the sequel, completed): Kun feels a draft as Leo pulls the covers away for a moment and then slides underneath, molding his bare chest up against Kun's back. At the first touch of warm skin, Kun tears up. Lips brush against his nape and an arm reaches over his side. Leo skims a palm over his stomach before linking their fingers together. "I can't talk about it," Kun breathes into the darkness, feeling Leo squeeze his hand.

He opens his eyes, lashes now damp, but can't turn and meet Leo's gaze. He just stares at the wall. He can't bear to look Leo in the eyes.

Leo, who had another fantastic game.

Who pretty much single handedly embarrassed the champions of England.

And Kun along with them.

Leo/Kun, words: 2914, rating: Explicit

I might like this more than the first story in this series. I didn’t even have to wait for international break to be inspired--the champions league provided plenty of material. Perfect opportunity for kunessi cuddling... and a bit of sexytimes too.

A Good Boy (wip): "What?" André asks, having a feeling that a line has just been crossed. “Are you talking shit about me? Say it to my face." He leans forward, hands clenched into fists at his sides. "Go on, say it."

Someone turns off the television, and most people are quick to leave. But over the sound of their hasty exit, Pepe laughs and says, “Nah, man, not about you. About him.”

André takes a deep breath, knowing he’s turning red. “What about him?”

Pepe laughs again, takes another draw of his beer and then slams it down on the table. He ignores the way that Cristiano is tugging on his shirt and urging him to be quiet. "Enough, Cris," Pepe growls, standing up. "I said, that Lionel Messi, welcomed you with open *something* alright--but it wasn't his arms."

Leo/André Gomes, implied Leo/multi, words: 3471, rating: Explicit

This is taking me awhile to complete. There’s certainly evidence that gomessi exists, but it has died down a little and I’m having trouble getting inspired with this one.

Halftime (completed): Cristiano laughs, all of a sudden feeling a lot lighter. "You know what," he says, grinning at both of them before looking pointedly at Neymar. "I was going to rip your head off. But then I remembered something." He stalks towards the two Barcelona players. Neymar takes a few steps back, dancing away out of reach, but Leo stands his ground.

"Cris," Leo says warningly. His eyes are narrowed as Cristiano looms in front of him. But he doesn't move. He stays in place, looking up at Cristiano, even as Neymar shifts nervously a few feet away.

But Leo could never be afraid of Cristiano.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 601, rating: Mature

This one is incredibly short, but people have really seemed to like it. I feel a little bad about that since it shows Neymar in a not so good light, but... the Leo/Cristiano interaction is quite fun. 

Full Time (the sequel, completed): The Brazilians shout out greetings as Neymar comes around the corner. He's got huge headphones around his neck and is wearing a hat and glasses as if he expected to be accosted by the press instantly. He smiles, looking worn and somehow older than his 24 years, holding up a finger towards his countrymen and then walking over to Cristiano.

Cristiano can't imagine why, but he holds his tongue and waits for Neymar to speak.

They're not friends. Though, they're certainly friendlier than they were a year ago.

Neymar stares at him, eyes trailing from his hair down to his shoes, blinking slowly and shifting his weight. "So, he's," Neymar starts, voice hoarse. He clears his throat and tries again. "He's not going to come out here." He takes off his hat and rakes his fingers though his hair, seeming uncomfortable.

Cristiano looks up at him, his happiness disappearing, feeling a twinge of hurt in his chest. "Not even to say goodbye?" he asks, keeping his voice level.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2789, rating: Mature

I just wanted a little follow up to the first one. This takes place the following season, shows a few more characters, really lets you get a better feel for the relationships. Shrugs.

He's Not a One Man Team (completed):  He's not a one man team.

When people congratulate him for scoring his goals, he always has the same response. He doesn't score goals by himself. His team is there every step of the way, and without them, he'd be nothing. It makes sense then, that when he scores a hat trick, he feels the need to reward his teammates for their help.

The thing is, he's exhausted after those games. He barely has the strength to strip down and drag himself off to the showers. But while he may be too tired to reward his teammates, that doesn't mean he'll stop them from rewarding themselves.

Leo/Multi, Leo/Neymar, Leo/Geri, words: 2831, rating: Explicit

No idea what to say about this one. Leo lets the team use him after a game. Left a lot of the players up to the imagination with the exception of Neymar and Geri. Smut with a tiny bit of piquessi cuddles at the end.

I Already Know (completed): Neymar looks over at where Paco is shouting something about Ivan being a cheat. “You haven’t asked me about leaving,” he says thickly, feeling Leo’s warmth beside him. The words nearly get stuck in his throat, but he plows on. “You haven’t asked me about staying either. You--you haven’t asked me anything.” 

Leo stretches out his feet, flexing his right ankle as if it’s irritating him. “Nope,” he says quietly.

Neymar feels his headache grow, rubbing at his forehead and then trying to disguise it by pretending he’s fixing his hair. “Why not?” he asks, still staring out across the room instead of turning to look Leo in the eye.

Leo/Neymar or Gen Leo & Neymar, words: 575, rating: General Audiences

I wrote this when the rumors first started saying that Neymar was going to PSG. I purposely left it ambiguous. Features a sleepy and wise Leo.

I Have Not Won Anything (completed): Cristiano is getting really tired of people sticking their microphones in his face.

implied Leo/Cristiano, words: 775, rating: General Audiences

Wrote this after Cristiano threw that microphone into a lake. Also post Leo’s Copa loss. I couldn’t quite handle writing anything from Leo’s pov or even getting near Leo’s state of mind, so I wrote about Cristiano instead. This is before Cristiano won the Euros, but it still deals with the ridiculousness of their rivalry. (If you squint, it is a prequel to Come to Me)

I Wanna Dance With Somebody (completed): “Come, have a drink with us. We’re just talking tactics, and your thoughts are always insightful.”

Andrés shakes his head. “No, no,” he says, “I mean, thank you, and I’d love to, but you really are needed.” He looks up at the ceiling and then back at Geri. “Leo’s drunk,” he says bluntly, scrunching his face up.

“Already?” Geri asks, somewhat impressed. But then he shrugs. “That’s okay,” he says dismissively. “Let him drink, let him celebrate. You know he deserves to let loose every once in awhile.” He takes a sip of the whiskey, savoring the burn, murmuring appreciatively. “Is he at the stage where he tells all those horrible jokes? Because that’s my favorite.”

“Geri,” Andrés says, shaking his head again. He hesitates. “He’s dancing.”

Leo/Geri, implied Leo/Dani/Neymar, implied Andrés/Xavi, implied Dani/Neymar, words: 2387, rating: Explicit

Does anybody need an excuse to write piquessi? Anyways, I just had this vision where Leo being drunk would be hilarious. (I mean we’ve all seen that one video of him on the bus, and then at Camp Nou, and it is the best thing ever) So I imagine that he doesn’t do it often, but when he does, he always goes through the same stages? And the second to last one is dancing. Spoiler alert--the last one is where he takes all his clothes off lol.

I Wanted to Play for Spain (completed):  "I couldn't tell him," Messi murmurs, still holding onto Iker. His eyes shut for a moment, dark lashes fanning out against his pale skin, before opening and staring up at the blue sky.

Iker taps him on the cheek lightly, unintentionally leaving a streak of mud from his glove. "Look at me," he says. "What couldn't you tell him?" he asks, playing along. He moves from squatting to kneel in the mud closer to Messi's face. He looks at Messi's pupils, and honestly is a little alarmed at the size of them. In fact he's so disturbed that he almost misses Messi's next sentence.

"I wanted to play for Spain," the smaller man slurs.

Gen, words: 1824, rating: General Audiences

My first gen story. Features a wise Iker Casillas and told from his pov. I like this one, and I just kinda wrote it in a moment where I thought Leo wasn’t being appreciated. This isn’t even close to being one of my popular stories, but I still really like it, maybe because it’s so different from most of the things I’ve written.

 If We Win the Treble (wip):  "You can fuck me if we win the treble."

The Leo/Neymar version.

Leo/Neymar, words: 1066, rating: Explicit

After we won the treble, I just had this vision of Leo saying this to someone. I couldn’t decide if he was saying it to Leo or if he was saying it to Neymar, and thus I started to write two different stories based on this line. Unfortunately, I’ve made far more progress on the Cristiano version, and this version has got me a bit stumped. I have not abandoned it, but it’s been quite some time since I last worked on it.

It's a Deal (completed): There's a certain responsibility that comes with being one of Leo's teammates. Sure, it's an honor to play with him--to see the way he moves with the ball, to see the beautiful things he can make the ball do. But just because he and the crowds are in awe of Leo, that doesn't mean that everyone is.

The Bolivians know what Leo can do. And if they can stop him, they will.

And Masche isn’t in the game to protect him.

Leo/Masche, words: 1831, rating: Teen and Up Audiences

My second maschessi. Written during Copa 2016, and after Leo’s back injury against Honduras. I continue to have a soft spot for this pairing. Brothers in arms sort of thing, through everything together... I only wish the tournament had ended happier for them, and maybe then I could have written a happy follow up.

It's About Leo (it's always about Leo) (completed): The reporters clamor to ask Dani what the hardest part of coming back to Barcelona is. They acted excited when he came in, waving and shouting, ‘Remember me, Dani?’ or ‘So good to see you Dani,’ all buddy-buddy as if they’re all the greatest of friends. And now they smile, but it’s fake, clearly for show, baring their teeth while holding up their phones to record his answer. They're out for blood, sharks in suits eagerly waiting for him to dive back into the water (and that's okay because he's used to sharks). None of them have ever liked him, so Dani doesn’t really care. Maybe they think he’s afraid. But if they think that, well, they don’t know him.

And if they think he’s going to tell the whole truth, well, they really don’t know him.

Leo/Dani, gen, words: 2952, rating: General Audiences

When Dani came back to the Camp Nou, I knew I had to write something about it. And I’ve always had a fondness for Alvessi, but I’m always torn between writing about their deep friendship, or writing about them crossing that line. In the end I decided to write just friendship, but if you have your slash goggles on, you can see something more might be there. Fuck if I don’t miss Dani Alves!!!

It's Getting Hot in Here (completed): "Um," Neymar says, plucking his shirt away from his chest. "Is it getting hot in here?" he asks, feeling a bit warm.

He hopes it's not just his body reacting to Cristiano's because that would be really awkward.

Cristiano nods though, mirroring Neymar's actions and drawing his shirt away from his chest. "Actually, now that you mention it," he says, looking up at the vents. "I think the air shut off." He pulls his shirt up to wipe his face where he's started to sweat. After a moment, he mutters, "Fuck it," and draws the entire thing over his head. "You don't mind, right?" he asks, looking at Neymar questioningly, combing his fingers through his hair to fix it.

Leo/Cristiano, Cristiano/Neymar, words: 3526, rating: Explicit

One of my rare stories where Leo isn’t really a main character. Of course, somehow he’s still the reason Neymar and Cristiano get together. I wrote this before my 5xNeymar series when I was trying to figure out if it was possible to ship Neymar and Cristiano. Turns out that it is lol. This one is a smutty one.

It's Like a Fairy Tale  (completed): Cristiano can't look away from him.

It's not just because Leo cuts an extremely attractive figure... Because yes, Cristiano definitely wants to reach out and palm that ass, wants to feel for himself how cushy those cheeks are, wants to hear the breathy sounds Leo makes in response... But that's not why he's staring. No... There's something about Leo that seems extremely familiar to Cristiano. He just can't figure out what it is.

But he will.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 5522, rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Maybe my favorite fic I’ve written... Half an AU, with Leo being a waiter and Cristiano being himself. I tend to stay away from AU in general because I think it is very difficult to world build, but this one just kinda happened without any fuss. I think it’s super cute and I’d really like to do some more stories in this universe. I have a few drabbles and ideas but nothing solid.

Lean on Me (completed): Marcos thinks it's his FIFA game when the chants begin, but when he pauses it, he realizes the screams are coming from downstairs. "Think Leo's finally here?" Érik asks sarcastically as "MESSI, MESSI, MESSI!" rings out from the crowds surrounding their hotel. Despite being on the second floor, the cheers easily float through the open windows.

Marcos laughs and restarts the game, using Érik's distraction to allow Barcelona to score on a quick counter attack. Érik curses, but Marcos grins, watching on the screen as his little Messi points up to the sky in celebration.

The real Leo appears soon after, looking tired and pushing a giant roller bag in front of him. He stops in the doorway of the lounge, eyes searching the room and smiling when he catches Marcos' gaze. "Hey," he greets softly, "how's things?"

Marcos pauses the game and gets up immediately to go hug him hello. Behind him he can hear Érik mumble a 'hey,' before the sounds of the game continue as Érik starts playing without him. Marcos rolls his eyes, but continues across the lounge and enfolds Leo in a gentle embrace. "Hola, capitán," he says kissing Leo on the cheek.

Leo/Marcos, implied Leo/Kun, words: 2314, rating: Mature

I wrote this story after the next one in this series-- I Want to Lick you from your Head to your Toes-- so basically this is the prequel nobody asked for. But I still wanted to write it, because I wanted to show a little more about how Leo and Marcos got to this point, and what their relationship was like before Leo’s injury.

I Want to Lick you from your Head to your Toes (the sequel, completed): Kun flicks his eyes over at Marcos and then back at his phone. "Does it look like he's awake? What do you want?" His tone is cool, but it's warmer than it has been for the last few months.

Marcos has been working hard to get back into Kun's good graces."I just," Marcos says, looking over at the mirror stretched out in the far wall. He stares at his reflection, trying to psych himself up, and then looks back at Kun. "I wanted to ask if it would be okay for me t-to, like, make a move on Leo."

Kun immediately looks up at Marcos, eyes narrowing. "'Make a move,'" he repeats incredulously, dropping his phone and sitting up straight. The action jostles the bed, but Leo still doesn't wake.

Leo/Marcos, implied Leo/Kun, words 1969, rating: Mature 

Like I said above, this is the fic that started this series. Leo/Marcos was new to me, but I was inspired after seeing a picture of them hugging. And I like the idea of them together lol. I have a third story in this series that is unfinished, but would immediately follow the events of this one. After the Copa 2016 loss, I found it difficult to continue it, so it is on the backburner for now.

Let Them Wait (completed): "Let it go. I'm asking you to let it go," Andrés says, looking directly at Masche. He rubs his eyes and then pulls Masche into a hug. "I need you to let it go. Will you do that for me?" He squeezes Masche, tightening his arms around the other man. "Please, Masche."

Masche bites his tongue and swallows what he really want to say. He nods instead. He hugs Andrés back, suddenly annoyed at himself for making Andrés deal with this on top of his injury. "Of course, Capi," he says returning the squeeze and then tilting his head back. "I'm sorry, how are you?"

The other disperse, leaving them alone.

Andrés smiles. "I'll be okay," he says over the noise of the locker room. "More tests tomorrow," he admits, "but for now, I'm okay." He claps Masche on the back and sits down on the bench to wait for the others to get changed. "It's not the end of the world."

Masche sighs, about to sit next to him.

But then Andrés shakes his head. "No," he says, putting his hand up and stopping him in his tracks. "That's why I needed you to let it go. You're needed elsewhere."

Leo/Masche, words: 1627, rating: Mature

My third Maschessi. I just really love exploring their relationship. And I especially love the idea that Masche is just this hardened guy on the pitch and then is so concerned with taking care of Leo.

Mate and Dulce de Leche (completed): Messi tilts his head back slightly so that he can look up at Sergio. He clears his throat. “Yes,” he says again. “The thing is,” he says, trailing off. His cheeks are flushing more now, and it’s clear that he’s embarrassed. But he doesn’t look away from Sergio. “I’m here to finish what you started,” he says all in a rush.

Sergio freezes. “What?”

Messi looks mortified, but he powers on. “In the tunnel,” he says, his voice barely a whisper. “When it was just the two of us. Before you decided to call over the trainers.” He licks his lips and Sergio finds himself staring at how pink they are.

Leo/Sergio Ramos, words: 4991, rating: Explicit

Blame @leo-dios for this one. We both started encouraging each other to write Ramessi, and this is the result on my end ;) Rivals on the pitch, but friends off??

Maybe I'm Enough (completed): "You're making excuses for him," Luis mumbles, shutting his eyes and thunking his head back on the headrest. "He's not a kid. And I'm sick and tired of everyone saying that."

"What would you rather, then?" Leo asks. "You want them to say he left because of the money?" He squeezes Luis' hand. "You want me to say that when the press asks me what I really think? Or that he left because he didn't want to be in our shadow. In my shadow? That he wanted to be number one for the glory? Is that who you think he is?"

Luis keeps his eyes closed. "I don't know," he says helplessly. "I just thought he was happy. I thought he was happy with us, and he wasn't."

Leo/Luis, words: 1802, rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Written after Neymar left for PSG. Will be the start of a series of drabbles or one shots that take place during the 2017-2018 season.

Misery Loves Company (completed): Luis gently tilts Leo's face up. He studies the bump on Leo's head, noting that the redness has eased some. It still looks wrong, looks angry and sore, and Luis doesn't dare to touch it. He thinks of the replay again and tries not to envision the way Leo had looked. It's hard to forget, but then Leo opens his eyes and smiles sweetly at him, and Luis can't help but smile back.

Leo/Luis, words: 1056, rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Another suaressi, this time short and sweet as opposed to smutty. Deal’s with Luis’ injury that made him miss Copa 2016, along with one of Leo’s head injuries. 

Once Upon a December (completed): If Marc had to guess right now, he’d guess that Jordi’s the mastermind. Not that Marc ever imagined he’d be thinking something like that about Jordi Alba! But it’s only because of how much Jordi’s been complaining that he hasn’t gotten anything. It’s almost like Jordi has been trying to throw them off the trail and keep everyone from getting suspicious. And Jordi’s been at Barcelona for awhile. He’s friendly with everyone. He also has been talking nonstop about how much he loves Christmas. It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to assume that he’s the one behind this.

Marc’s just decided that yes, Jordi must be their secret santa.

Except the next day, Jordi gets a present.

Marc/surprise, words: 11573, rating: General Audiences

I wrote a Christmas fic! It kinda ran away with me, but I loved the idea of secret Santa and thought it would be fun to play around. Writing from Marc’s pov was cute and different and overall I’m so happy and pleased with the way this turned out. It was my gift to everyone who has helped build our fandom, in appreciation for all of their hard work! 

The One Where Milan Piqué Saves the Day (completed): Leo kept reaching for his teammates, kept trying to move towards the tunnel, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move. People kept coming, kept grabbing him, kept slamming into him.

And now Leo can't breathe, bodies pressed against him on all sides, everyone trying to get a piece of him--no matter the cost.

Gen, words: 2246, rating: General Audiences

Inspired by real life events. Also by the adorableness that is Milan Piqué.

Orange is the new Blaugrana (wip): Neymar doesn't expect to witness a murder on his first day.

(Also translated into Russian by Kotokoshka. Can be found on AO3 or ficbook.net)

I don’t know how to explain this one, except somehow all of these footballers have things in their lives that I am perfectly able to twist to fit criminals. Dani Alves? Killed someone with a banana. Gerard Piqué? Killed a pop star. Jordi Alba? Stole a Ferrari. This one is dark, but it’s filled with little easter eggs here and there. I thought about making a list, but I like to imagine readers will catch most of them if they know their footballers well enough! Barca and Real players are the main focus, along with players from national teams of Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Portugal... I’m having fun writing this and I hope people are having fun reading it. Now officially my longest story.

Poke Me Once, Shame On You (completed):

 It’s almost as if he’s dreaming. As it goes by, he reaches out and pokes it. And he watches incredulously as his finger sinks into one of those plump cheeks. 

And then Messi squeaks.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 1483, rating: Teen Audiences and Up

Do I really need an excuse to write about Leo’s ass? No, I do not.

Reading the Signs of My Body (completed): "Tired," Leo admits, raising his towel to wipe his forehead when he feels some more water trickling from his hairline. "But it's a good tired, you know?" Arda peers back at him curiously, and Leo laughs. "I'm glad I stayed late, is all." He pulls off the towel around his neck so he can bend over and rub at his hair.

When he straightens up, Arda is still watching him.

Leo licks his lips, knowing his cheeks are flushed. "What?" he asks self-consciously. He tosses the damp towel into a bin and tries to smooth down his hair, thinking that it must be sticking up in all directions.

Leo/Arda, words: 1988, rating: Explicit

There isn’t enough ardessi out there, that’s all I’m saying. Short and smutty, but a little sweetness too.

Something Pretty (completed):  Leo's unable to control the exasperated smile that comes to his face. "Dani talks a lot of shit for someone who never says anything."

Neymar's pointy teeth appear as he grins from ear to ear. "I bet he's right, though. I bet people would line up to bid on it and you could make some serious dough." He looks down at the floor, mumbling something under his breath about the "stone of D10S," before he peers up at Leo through his lashes. He looks serious, moving his thumb over Leo's knee, slowly, and when he next speaks, the mirth is gone from his voice. "If you did, would you buy me something pretty?"

Leo/Neymar, words: 2823, rating: Mature

This was after somebody spit on Leo at the airport. I wanted something happy, something sexy, something funny... something neymessi. I don’t write nearly enough neymessi.

Sometimes Words Aren't Enough (wip):  He and Leo have always been very cordial. Their relationship is as good as one that a goalie and a forward from an opposing team can have. Joe respects Leo's immense ability, as well as the fact that Leo never intentionally tries to hurt him when they play. He wishes he could say the same for some of the other strikers he's up against. And Leo has always been very complimentary of Joe's skills, both in the little moments after the game when they exchange pleasantries, as well as when he's interviewed.

But that little bit of small talk doesn't explain why Leo's here.In his hotel room.

Alone.

Leo/Joe Hart, words: 2210, rating: Explicit

Bit of a rare pair with this one. I really loved the way Joe Hart talked about Leo after the champions league games... And then there were the pictures of them together, talking, hugging, helping each other up. I just thought they went together. I’ve stalled on this one, which I hate. That said, it’s mainly going to be smut, if I ever finish it.

Thinking Out Loud (completed): “Fucking Agüero,” Ney yells, having apparently finished stomping around. He’s back from the trainers himself, having gotten a brace for his knee. “Why doesn’t he just fucking go play for Independiente already?” He’s apparently talking to Luis, but the other man just shakes his head and continue to get dressed. “Needs to take his fat ass back to fucking Argentina like the washed-up player that he is.”

Leo feels his blood start to boil. He yanks his sock on roughly, ignoring the way it pulls at the bandages. “Stop it,” he says, his voice cutting through the room and silencing the rest of the chatter. “Don’t talk about him like that.” He knows Neymar is upset, knows that Kun’s partly to blame for their loss, but he doesn’t want to hear anything more.

Leo/Kun, words: 3407, rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Just an excuse to write some kunessi hurt/comfort. A little jealous Neymar, but it ends happily for everyone.

Tomorrow is Another Day (completed): Cristiano complained for so long that eventually Sergio tuned him out.

They'd all wearily filed off of the plane and onto their bus, with Sergio being quick to choose a seat next to Karim in order to avoid Cristiano. Gareth happened to be the unlucky soul that got stuck with Cristiano's complaining then. And now that they're back at the Bernabéu, Sergio has no intention of getting trapped again.

He makes a beeline for the door, eager to go inside, drop off some of his stuff, and then head for his car. He can hear Cristiano getting off of the bus behind him, but Sergio lengthens his stride and practically shoves Isco and James ahead so they can get inside. But they’ve only gotten down the hallway before his teammates come to a complete stop in front of him.

“Keep going,” Sergio says, pushing them aside so he can cut through the lounge area and get out of here. But the words die in his throat as he takes a step forward.

Because there, in front of him on the floor, is a toddler.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 1547, rating: General Audiences

This is pure baby fluff. I adore kid fic and baby fluff is the best kind. And seriously, Mateo Messi’s adorableness needed to be explored :)

Where Were You (completed):  He'll come," Leo says to the empty room.

It's the same thing he repeats to himself, four hours later.

Leo/Cristiano, words 14398, rating: Mature

(Also translated into Russian on AO3, or ficbook.net by Kotokoshka,)

Based off a facebook post that Leo made and deleted. And on the fact that Barca were kicked out of the champions league, while Real Madrid and Cristiano went through. I quite like this one. A little angsty. Okay, very angsty.

Who's Afraid of Sergio Ramos? (completed): Sergio, in the act of imitating a dive by one of their opponents, falls backwards out of his chair and crashes into the lamp on the bedside table. Andrés jerks awake, knocking Cesc's phone out of his hands, and Xavi and Iker burst out laughing. Sergio's rolling on the floor in an attempt to right himself, and the lamp, when he hears Gerard talking in the midst of all the laughter.

"Can you believe Leo's afraid of this guy?"

Sergio manages to get to his feet. He brushes imaginary dust off of his shirt and pants, attempting to save some of his dignity.

The lamp is a lost cause.

But those words echo in his head. "What did you say?" he asks, directing the question over towards where Gerard is sitting nursing a bottle of beer. He's sure he must have heard wrong.

Gen (Leo/Cristiano if you squint?), words: 5669, rating: General Audiences

This is another one of my very early fics, and a rare gen one. It features a good-hearted Sergio and a nervous Leo. Bonus baby Thiago. I have a soft spot for this one. 

Winners Take it All (completed): Leo moves to kneel on the foot of the bed facing Cristiano. He's left his crucifix on, and it swings against his chest as he moves. He leans his weight back on his arms, effortlessly propping himself up on the bed, and spreads his thighs. His eyes are dark and knowing as they gaze at Cristiano, waiting.

Barcelona may have lost the game, but no one would ever know it looking at Leo.

Cristiano's mouth waters at the sight. He's glad he remembered to put the black sheets on. Leo's pale skin is gorgeous against them. His fingers itch to touch every inch of that skin. To put his lips to that throat. But he calms himself. There's plenty of time. And he has to wait for the others.

Now translated into Chinese by interpreter_Fiona

Okay, so if I’m not known for 5xNeymar, I’m probably known by this. Yep, a gangbang fic. This was my second fic after the massage one, and like many others, I started out on the kink meme where the prompts are decidedly dirty. This fic gets violent, but I still really like the first and last chapters because I think the Leo/Cristiano interaction is really good.

Unfinished Business (the sequel, completed): This is the long awaited sequel to "Winners Take it All." I'm aware that the previous story is not necessarily everyone's cup of tea, what with the particular tags and subject matter.

That said, if you're just interested in Leo and Cristiano's storyline, I recommend reading the first and last chapters of "Winners Take it All" before reading this. You'll get the gist without having to deal with other pairings or potentially triggery material.

(Of course, if you haven't already, please let me know what you thought of it. As I said recently, the final chapter of "Winners Take it All" is my most favorite Cris/Leo scene out of everything I've written!)

Leo/Cristiano, implied Geri/Gareth, implied Gareth/multi, words: 18275, rating: Explicit

A lot of people asked for a sequel to Winners, and I had left it open for one, so after another clasico, I finally wrote it. I like to tell people that even if the first fic weirded them out, they can still read this one. But I don’t know if anyone really believes me. But I love the Cris/Leo action in this one, and there’s bonus baby Sasha and Milan as well as domestic Geri. 

Without You, Or, Leo's Real Response to the Ronaldo Movie Trailer (completed): "A little birdie told me you're in it a lot longer than five seconds," Geri says, hands moving to tug on Leo's hair. His obnoxious grin subsides into something more genuine as Leo looks at him upside down.

"What little birdie?" Leo asks, as Geri begins to play with his ears. "Will you stop that!" he hisses, trying to pull his head away. "What little birdie?" he repeats, when Geri doesn't answer right away.

"Me," says a familiar voice from the doorway, behind Leo.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 2108, rating: General Audiences

I wrote this after I saw the movie trailer for Ronaldo’s movie. It’s fairly short and achingly sweet. Featuring an incredibly caring Cristiano. Heart eyes.

You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat it Too (completed): Kun's enjoying his cake so much actually, that he nearly misses the fact that Leo's not eating his. Kun freezes, cake jammed in his mouth, as he eyes Leo's plate from across the table. To anyone else it would appear that several bites have been taken, as the piece is cut in a few places and the frosting is mashed in as if pressed by a fork. But as Kun continues to watch Leo, continues to watch him talk to the others at the table, smile at their jokes, laugh as if he's enjoying himself... Kun sees Leo's fork play with his food.

And never, never, does Leo raise that fork and take a bite.

Leo/Kun, words: 1970, rating: Mature

Written after articles surfaced saying that a Barca club member mentioned Leo liked pizza a little too much. Also do I really need an excuse to write kunessi? do I really need an excuse to write kunessi? I wrote a sad little ficlet at first but then gave in and wrote a second chapter to give everyone (including myself) that happy ending.

You See The Stars But They Just See The Sky (wip) cowritten with @piquedly : This was not how Cristiano expected his vacation to go.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 10341, rating: Mature

Ever since Leo grew that beard, I knew I wanted to write a lumberjack AU. And then I was thrilled to bits that Ash asked me to write with her. This is the result. We’re still working on it, but I’m very excited about what we’ve done so far :) Also, come on, Leo as a lumberjack!! Who wouldn’t want to read that?? Admittedly a little stalled with the two of us in different time zones and with very different schedules.

You Think You're Going to Win the Treble (wip): "You can fuck me if we win the treble."

The Leo/Cristiano version.

Leo/Cristiano, words: 9308, rating: Explicit

While I was stuck with the Neymar version of this story, the Cristiano version just seemed to come out a lot easier. Bonus Junior, because that kid is seriously adorable. Also, bonus Antonella? Who I don’t write a lot (if ever?) and I wanted to try to do her justice.
