𝘾𝙎𝙄: 𝙈𝙞𝙖𝙢𝙞 / "𝙎𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙣" - part 1

[dancing-mylife-away]

bones confirmed that one of them knew they had feelings for each other in season 4 (mayhem on a cross my beloved) and then revealed it was booth who knew about his feelings for brennan in the season 4 finale and they didn’t get together til the season 6 finale (and also gotta shoutout the parts of the sum of the whole in this arc)

NCIS: LA made it pretty obvious deeks had feelings for kensi in…..season 3 at least (i think, it’s been a while since i’ve watched it), then they kissed in the season 4 finale, had important conversations about their (not quite yet) relationship and feelings in 5x11 and then didn’t get together til about midway through season 6

on castle, you had a bunch of outsiders (agent shaw, martha, beckett’s friend, the DHS agent, etc) make comments about if there’s something between them, and castle told beckett he loved her in the season 3 finale (after she’d been shot by a sniper ahahahah) AND beckett told her therapist she remembered everything from the shooting in like 4x01 and they didn’t get together til the season 4 finale

the mentalist made it clear that jane had feelings for lisbon but didn’t want to start anything with her til red john was caught (i think that was something like the season 4 finale? i haven’t watched the mentalist since it was airing lol)

anyway and yes that in between time when you know one or both of them have feelings for each other but they aren’t together is sooooo good

Anyway, I am going to be even more annoying in my desire for some sort of season finale "we're in love, we still need time before we're ready to be together, but we're in love" resolution. It's been 84 years.

Writer Asks

I was tagged by the dearest of all dearhearts, @cassiopeiasara

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 53, but full disclosure, I haven't yet moved everything I've written to AO3 yet.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 885,181 (but honestly, OBaaT Georg is an outlier, and maybe shouldn't have been counted...)

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently? Ever? Currently, it's SuperCat and, more recently, Guiding Light/Otalia. Stupid unfinished WIP that has haunted me for 15 years...

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? These are all SuperCat, btw. One Bridge at a Time, At the Pleasure of the Hotel de la Paix, Uncharted (part 11), At Sea, and (the shocker) Steel Blue.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes, as many as I can. I've been known to respond to some years after they were written. Comments are the lifeblood of my writing. One comment at the right time can inspire so much. Sometimes, even the completion of a lingering unfinished story...

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Easily, my tears ricochet (Mirandy). My wife (Lisof9) and I took a vow decades ago (pre-dating, even) that we would always write happy, hopeful endings where the couple is together.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Everything else? See above. That doesn't mean there isn't angst. My wife taught me everything I know about chasing characters up burning trees and then lobbing grenades and feral raccoons at them. She also taught me about cliffhangers.

8. Do you get hate on fic? Once. A long time ago on an ER fic, of all things. I didn't write a word for two years after that.

9. Do you write smut? Yes. I'm kinda known for that. It is sometimes even requested, meaning the prompt is given to me because it requires smut.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Hmm... Not really? Let me explain. One of my SuperCat stories mentions Emily Carlton from The Devil Wears Prada, and one of my Guiding Light stories has a brief cameo from a character on Saving Grace. The only true crossover I've ever written was wacky. It was Star Trek: Voyager and CSI: Miami. Decide for yourself: Wackiness. It's short.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not sure I understand the question. You mean plagiarized.? There was a rash of that happening in the early 2000s, I think, but my readers always let me know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I'm not sure. Probably.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Oh, absolutely! My wife should be considered my co-writer in everything because I have been known to pick her brain when I'm stuck. I've also co-written in the Guiding Light/Otalia fandom and in the L&O: SVU Casey/Olivia fandom.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Oh, lord love a duck. SuperCat is certainly my once-and-future obsession. I've been writing them for over seven years at this point and, at last count, have 10 WIPs in the works for them.

My OTP Prime, though, is B'Elanna/Seven from Star Trek: Voyager because that's how I met my wife.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t? Hide Beside Me (Guiding Light/Otalia) has haunted me for 15 years, but remember when I said comments were the lifeblood of writing? Someone commented on it last week which revived my interest in finishing the story. I have a draft for chapter 32 in my WIPs folder right now because of that. I hope I finally get to check that one off my to-do list.

16. What are your writing strengths? Research, capturing character personalities, dialogue, and romance.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Fight scenes and the fact that I'm so slow as a writer.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Actually, I have a plan to write an Astrid/Raphaelle story in French when I feel I'm up to snuff in French again. I can't wait. I love that ship.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Ever? Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Buck/Wilma, on my handwriting practice pad from school. I was 10. Published in a 'zine? A Star Trek: The Next Generation Worf/Deanna story. Published online? Xena, Warrior Princess.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Currently, there are two:

Queen of Hearts, (ST:Voy, B/7), because it was a love letter to the woman who is now my amazing wife.

One Bridge at a Time, (Supergirl, SuperCat). I'm proudest of this one because it took me seven years to write, came in at 310+k words, and I finished it. I never gave up on it. It was always in my mind. And now I'm working on a sequel to it. :)

I tag anyone who would like to answer it. Although, I would be interested in reading the answers from @shaych03 and @fewthistle if they'd like to participate.

[humanveil]

there’s that running joke abt your fave fic writer having 80 fics for like csi miami or one of the 3000 dick wolf shows or w/e but it makes perfect sense to me. for starters you have these ridiculous slow burn ships to work with and then you also have studios who will run that will they/won’t they into the ground for views and then as a bonus you have 10+ years of 24 episode seasons with weekly releases and routine hiatuses where you can sit and speculate and be silly and write your little episode codas and canon divergence aus and missing scenes and whatnot and then on top of that you also have the middle aged mums who only vaguely know what fandom is but who found & read your fic by chance leaving 16 paragraphs in the comments telling you how much they loved your work and how much they’re looking forward to reading more. like. it’s a whole ordeal. the 8 episode binge model tv shows with flash fandoms could never achieve that kind of pizazz

every CSI Miami episode:

02x14 - Slow Burn

[icemoonlight97]

I am looking for some role play partners for these Fandoms if possible. I don't do OCxOC. I prefer OCxCannon, and I can double!

1) How I Met Your Mother. I have an OC that pairs with Ted. I also have a plot idea, but we can make one up together!

2) CSI Miami: I love this show, mainly Ryan Wolfe. I have an OC that I created specifically for Ryan. This has no plot ideas yet, and we can make one up or wing it!

3.) Diagnosis Murder: now this one is far fetched I realize since it's an old show but I love this show, mostly Jesse Travis and I would love to role play as an OC for this!

4) Harry Potter: This one is usually pretty popular, of course, so it's not a major one I'm looking for, but I'd like to roleplay it either way! I have an OC. I just need someone to play Harry for me! Also have plots depending on the year

5) Criminal Minds: Now I'm not caught up on this show, but I do have an oc that pairs with Derek Morgan. I have no plots for this and usually wing it or brainstorm with someone.

6) 13 Reasons Why: I have an OC. I just need a Clay. I love this show despite how sad it can be and would love to roleplay it.

7) Victorious I have an oc. I just need a Beck. I know it's a kids' show, but I love the show despite that

8) Smosh: I have an OC that pairs with Shayne! I just need a Shayne if possible. I can also double up!

9) Bones: I just made an OC for Sweets, and I'm dying to use her (I haven't watched the show in years, so I might not remember a lot)

10) RENT: I love the movie, and i made OC that pairs with Mark! Im dying to RP this one (though i know it's rare)

11) Blue Bloods: I recently started watching this and finished it and would love to roleplay an OC that pairs with Danny!

12) Markiplier: so I have an oc that pairs with Mark! It's been a long time since I've done one.

13) Grey's Anatomy: I recently started watching this from season 3 and im now on season 7. I have an oc that pairs with Owen Hunt that I'd like to try for the first time.

14) CHiPS: so I know this is an old show but I started rewatching with my dad and I'm currently on season 5. I have an oc that pairs with Ponch! (I really wanna do this one if possible)

15) Girl Meets World: Lucas and my oc! I made an oc for him that is similar to Riley or takes her place!

That's all I can think of! I'm usually semi lit also and tend not to do one-liners unless I have some writers block! I live for romance and would love a romance rp. I don't really like slow burns as it makes me impatient, but we can always discuss that in chat! So hit me up if you're interested!

[marchtothefuckingsea]

I need more McCoy stories, so could you put your ideas about Grimm down AND write about Star Trek 😩

Yeah I know I can't research him on Tumblr but I have you and am lazy to find someone else who writes so well.

So! I was thinking about enemies to lovers BUT Bones and the reader are not enemies enemies, it's the Enterprise and another spaceship. And one day, the captains have to do a ceasefire and work together. A lot of tension between both crews. McCoy is McCoy but when it's about a job nothing can interfere and change the fact he's the best of the best. Weeks, months go by and Bones and the reader are still working in the same room and one day a friend of the reader die and they are the only one who can investigate.

And then love?

I mixed the last season of "Stargate Univers" and the first episode of season three of "CSI: Miami"

I was thinking about Bones who fell in love with the reader but they don't live in the same year's zone (yeah I'm maso and now this idea reminds me of a movie with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves)

Hope you spent a good day

I know I send you so many ask sorry, I'll moderate myself.

LMAOO would you be happy if I told you that 3.8k fic I was working on was a mccoy one?

I'm thinking about making a post with some of my favourite fics, not sure if I'll actually post it but i could give you the link if I eventually get around to it. I'm working on tags rn for a library sort of thing right now since I saw someone else do it and it seemed like a good idea.

I'm absolutely terrible at emotional hurt/comfort lol (at least I think so) but it's an idea I'd be willing to explore. definitely something I want to get into more as the self-proclaimed ceo of hurt/comfort lmao

oo and then angst like "but I have to go back to my own time" sort of thing. it'd be cool for the reader to be from the past (maybe our time, even) and just be really fascinated with all the new tech in the future. maybe they're really into that in their time, and they catch on really quick and end up working for the enterprise and everything yknow. this is such a good slow burn series idea oh my god

after reading that last paragraph I now realize what you meant and I take back what I just said but I also don't lmao. I think you're talking about lake house...?

also I love having so many asks to come back to lmao don't worry about it !

Fic Writer Question (#3)

I was tagged by @kunstpause again. Thank you for thinking of me. Doing this tag was a joy!

Today’s topic: Stories you want to write but for some reason haven’t (yet)

I will focus on fanfiction because I have way too many ideas for original works that never went anywhere or have been set aside to age like a good wine. But that’s okay. When I looked into my old fanfic folder, I found some gems from back in the day that made me cackle like the fandom grandma that I am.

But why do I put stories on the shelf? When I started writing, the main reason for abandoning a project was that I simply lost momentum or hadn’t thought the story through to the end and therefore ran into some kind of roadblock. If that happened, my burning hatred for revisions kicked in. I loathed editing with all my heart. Sometimes I made the effort to edit stories I really liked but that often lead to me finding even more stuff I wanted to change so it all spiralled out of control and I got discouraged.

This changed when I picked up copywriting as my profession. Through my daily job, I learned tp persevere and to stick with difficult projects when the rubber hits the road. It also taught me that not every idea is suited to be turned in fiction. From then on, I chose the stories I wanted to work on a lot more carefully and stored the plot bunnies in a swipe file until they either blossomed into a full-fledged concept or withered away.

The result is a much slimmer WIP folder. I collect a lot of notes and see if I can evolve them or include them in running projects, but I don’t hesitate to toss stuff into the garbage.

And now on to some of the stories that never went anywhere (yet). I had a pretty wild selection of fandoms in the last 15 years, so I picked a few fics that stuck with me for one reason or another. Added gifs for that certain je ne sais quoi.

The fun begins behind the cut.

Dragon Age

Since DA is the only fandom I actively write for a the moment, the list of projects is rather short. But these two are definitely on-hold for the near future.

Demon’s Dance – I shared a bit about this one during the WIP Title Game. It’s a one-shot idea set during Inquisition with some hot takes on the magic system in the Dragon Age games. I shelved it for now because that would require a deep dive into a system that is so very inconsistent that it slowed me down. I do want to get to it one day, but I have other stuff I want to focus on right now.

Running With The Halla – Another fic set during Inquisition, but this one is supposed to be a multi-chapter. If I break it down to its very core, then this is a fix-it fic for my Lavellan after the loss of her clan. I did write a few scenes for this but I’m not sure if this fic isn’t best kept in the realm of head-canons.

Moving on to the older stuff...

Star Wars Legends

Hahaha, yes, I’m ancient. I wrote Star Wars fan fiction when there still was an Expanded Universe (aka “Legends”). One of my bigger projects back then was an old LJ claim for which I had to write 100 one-shots for a pairing of my chosing, in that case Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. I got around to writing 25 of them before abandoning this undertaking because me one-shots get way too long and therefore take a lot of time to write. I always told myself that I would get back to it because I had way too much fun, but when the EU was all but wiped out, it totally killed my momentum.

I also had a long fic titled “No Good Deed” that was AU take on the gap between the OT and the prequels. The main twist being that Qui-Gon Jinn had survived. That thing was dark and angsty to no end because, of course, it was. I orginally planned this to be a three-part series but only managed to write about 2/3 of the first part. I don’t know why I put it aside though. It must have coincided with my move to Hamburg and my change in profession. I work a ton in that year and stepped away from writing fiction for quite some time afterwards. But I still think of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in that fic very fondly.

If you want to see me embarrass myself: I’ve made a cover for ff.net back in the day for that fic. I might share it if someone asks. My Photoshop skills were subpar but I was enthusiastic! :D

Speaking of embarrasing WIP that never went anywhere...

Honorable Mentions

There was a CSI: Miami long fic that I used to write with my best friend back in the day titled “We Never Close”. The year 2006 was wild for us, let me tell you. I’m still not quite sure what we were thinking. But we outgrew that fandom and that fic very quickly...

There also must be a ton of Harry Potter fics lurking around somewhere that never went anywhere. One was my first attempt at writing in English and I remember that it was the hardest thing ever. Must have shelved that one back in 2008.

I think that’s all I got for you today. :)

Time to tag a few people, haha. As always, feel free to skip this one or join in. This is supposed to be fun after all: @johaeryslavellan, @kittimau, @charlatron, @serial-chillr, @faerieavalon, @cornfedcryptid, @deathvalleyqueen, @midnightprelude, @tessa1972, @elfrootaddict, @noire-pandora, @wardenari, @irlaimsaaralath, @solas-disapproves

Thanks for reading this far. Much love to all of you <3

Taylor Swift - Demon Hunter: Part Three

Just a normal dinner, she was relieved. She’d spent the summer stalking a particularly malevolent sea spirit. Sea spirits can only be evicted with the help of actual ocean spray, which had meant luring him to the coast which hadn’t been easy. Concealing the bruises she’d gained from fighting him on a clifftop wasn’t easy either. Fighting a violent spirit was hard, she had to avoid injuring the host while landing the right blows to the spirit. Rome has excellent healers though. 

This night would just be a straightforward dinner with friends. She’d known this couple for years, it would be fun, relaxing. 

But as soon as they arrived she sensed that something was wrong. Maybe it was exhaustion that slowed her down. It wasn’t until they were half way through dessert that she took the opportunity to casually take a look at him through the bowl of her wine glass. Pretending to be checking for faults, she caught a quick glance at his refracted image. She almost groaned aloud with frustration, but she caught Blake’s eye across the table. They exchanged much more in one look than they could have in a half-hour’s conversation. 

Of course, Taylor thought, I should have known. 

The invite had been very sudden and Blake had been insistent. 

They finished their dessert. As casually as possible, she suggested that she help her friend with the dishes.

“How bad is it?” Blake asked as soon as they were alone.

“Can we start with how you know what we’re dealing with here?” Taylor asked, stacking the dishwasher with precision. Just because you’re a demon hunter doesn’t mean you can’t be damn good at household chores. 

“I… I trained for a while…” Blake looked guilty. They methodically stacked the machine and, without conferring, began removing all sharp objects from the room, “I retired early. I fell in love and I couldn’t keep chasing all those guys, it didn’t feel right.” 

“I get it,” Taylor sighed, it really was exhausting. She’d tried to keep relationships going, but some guys just get funny about you consorting with beings from other dimensions. Even the most understanding eventually grew tired of her aggressive training routine. It was always “How do I know he’s possessed, what if you’re just using that as an excuse?” 

It made sense that Blake had been a rod, her hair was perfect for luring out a satyr or a fire demon. You can fill it full of perfume and then just waft until the demon shows itself. They just can’t resist the scent/texture combination.

Blake’s husband shouted something inane from the dining room, they remembered the task at hand. 

“Alright, what do we do? I can’t take him home like this,” Blake was urgent but not panicked. Taylor sensed that this wasn’t her first rodeo. 

“It looks like a basic level three demon, nothing too complicated. Do you know how long it’s been like this?” she took a series of silver charms from her pocket and wrapped them around her fingers. Blake removed her earrings and placed them on the counter. 

“About three months, I tried to ignore it at first but then I caught sight of him in a mirror and…”

“Say no more. You were right to bring him here.”

There was a big mirror in the dining room. A level three, the Jack-Of-All-Trades of the demon world. Common as headlice in the right places… Taylor was almost impressed that it had managed to take hold of such an influential host. 

He was a big man, but they were very strong women. 

He entered the kitchen and immediately the demon knew it had made a mistake. Taylor caught him in a headlock and forced him to the floor, trying to do as little damage as possible to Blake’s husband’s body in the process. She was thoughtful like that. 

“What’s happening? Why are you doing this to me? Is it because I said I didn’t like the potatoes? I just thought they were a little underdone!” he was a talker, and there are some things that even demons can’t change. 

Taylor pressed her be-charmed hand into his forehead. 

“Oh god, that burns what are you doing? Did Blake tell you what I said about your last single? It was just below par compared to your previous work I’m sorry…” 

“Blake, we need a reflector, can you grab that tea tray?” Blake pulled a silver tea tray from the worktop and held it above her husband’s flailing head. 

“This is like the worst trip to the dentist ever, what have I done to deserve this,” he caught sight of himself in the reflection, spotting the demon for the first time as it railed against Taylor’s silver covered hand, “Oh. That… What is that? Blake honey what’s living inside me?”

“Just a level three demon, we’re gonna pop it right out for you. You won’t feel a thing.” 

“He might feel something,” Taylor asked, trying to listen for the demon’s tune through the grunting and wailing. 

“Ok, you might feel something but it’ll just be a slight pinch,” Blake smiled, she was a terrible liar. 

“It’ll be more like pulling a tooth,” Taylor was using her full bodyweight to keep him restrained.

“Yeah, just like that,” Blake’s reassuring voice was not at all reassuring.

“Except where the tooth is a demon and your whole body is the bleeding gum,” Taylor finally caught the sound of the tune. Wrenching his face towards the mirror, she sang five notes and the demon split from the host with a deafening scream. Stuck in the tea tray, it growled at them impotently. 

She let the host slip down to the floor, he was whimpering. 

“Would anyone like a coffee?” Blake asked, casually popping her earrings back in, “Ryan stop whining, it wasn’t even that big of a demon.”

*********

I didn’t agree that Blake should be allowed to enter the circle of trust. It was a very tight circle. Me, Taylor and nobody else. Of course I felt threatened by Blake. With hair like that who wouldn’t. I wanted to live in it and cut it all off at the same time. Demons can be weird about hair. 

“She knows her stuff and it would be nice to have a friend who understood… you know… this?” 

“You make a compelling point, allow me to repost: I don’t like her.” 

I beg that you don’t judge me on my debating skills. I’m a demon, I’m good at possessing and haunting and showing up at halloween parties to upset teens. I’m also great at making passion fruit and white chocolate swiss rolls, but that’s not a demon thing that’s just because I’m awesome. 

“You are only saying that because you don’t want to share me,” she said. Perceptively. I hated it when she was perceptive. It was all “You’re just saying that because you don’t want to go out” or “that’s based on your personal bias, not fact” or “you only claim to like CSI: Miami to be controversial.” 

“Fine. But don’t blame me if this goes horribly wrong.” 

“It will not go horribly wrong, why are demons so pessimistic?” 

“Because we literally live in hell.” 

At least that was an argument she couldn’t contradict. 

*******

I will consent that letting her have a team mate did have it’s benefits. Blake did information gathering and operational support, Taylor did the hands on exorcising and I did the clean-up and paperwork. 

Have I mentioned how much paperwork there is? The audit trail on an exorcism is no small thing, and it’s a pretty thankless task. 

Mentally I referred to them as Taylor Swift and Blake Deadly because I thought it was hilarious. I didn’t share this with them because I couldn’t handle all the eye-rolling. I just occasionally laughed to myself about it. The demon who sits next to me didn’t find it funny, he just seethed at me in his gross brimstone cloud. 

Everything was going well until she met him. 

It wasn’t that I was jealous. She’ll claim that I was jealous. I wasn’t. Look how well I’d coped with sharing her with Blake. We were a team now! I was not jealous. 

My complaint was that she was spending a whole lot of time with him and he wasn’t even possessed. He wasn’t even an attractive prospect for a level four wind spirit, you know - the kind that spend autumn days making people’s coffee cool down too quickly, or causing people to get their hair caught in their lipstick. These are minor players, we wouldn’t even send a high ranking rod like Taylor in to combat. For a level four you send in a trainee, someone like Zendaya: she’s got potential but needs to hone her craft with a lot of practice. (Her work with Zac Efron was flawless though, a lot of conversations went on about that back at HQ.)

This guy wasn’t powerful enough to interest low level demons, I didn’t see the attraction. 

Blake tried to explain to me it was something something work life balance. I wasn’t really listening, I was looking at her hair. 

Anyway, I think my actions were perfectly justified. 

It wasn’t like I was trying to get her attention anyway. 

I just wanted to make a point. 

I think she overreacted. 

Definitely. 

*****

She thought she understood what betrayal felt like. 

When she came home that day and found her boyfriend possessed, she almost shrugged: it was inevitable that he’d become a target one day.

It didn’t seem like a big problem, just a small infestation. She locked the doors, sat him down. Tried to be gentle. 

The shock came when she pressed her charm against his forehead and heard a familiar song. The face she saw in the mirror, straining against the face of her lover was one she’d known for fifteen years. The demon that had changed her life forever. 

She didn’t need to sing the tune, he floated gently away from the host. 

“I was just making a point,” he said. 

“I never want to see you again,” she replied to his floating form in the mirror. 

“I was just reminding you that you have an important job to do,” he didn’t even have the common decency look guilty. 

“Get out,” she said, standing up, clenching her fingers around a throwing star in her pocket. 

“Oh come on, it was only a little bit of possession, if anything it will be good for him!” 

She threw the star at him and it passed through his spectral form and smashed a vase on the other side of the room. 

“Oh see, this is why we can’t have nice things,” he began. She didn’t have time for his stupid sarcastic tone. 

“I swear if you don’t get out right now, I will trap you in a song forever and you can spend eternity alone.” 

Her voice was stern, he looked honestly confused. It was as if he didn’t understand what he could possibly have done wrong. 

“Ugh, fine,” he said, dissolving. 

He didn’t know what he’d started.

I am looking for some role play partners for these Fandoms if possible. I don't do OCxOC. I prefer OCxCannon, and I can double!

1) How I Met Your Mother. I have an OC that pairs with Ted. I also have a plot idea, but we can make one up together!

2) CSI Miami: I love this show, mainly Ryan Wolfe. I have an OC that I created specifically for Ryan. This has no plot ideas yet, and we can make one up or wing it!

3.) Diagnosis Murder: now this one is far fetched I realize since it's an old show but I love this show, mostly Jesse Travis and I would love to role play as an OC for this!

4) Harry Potter: This one is usually pretty popular, of course, so it's not a major one I'm looking for, but I'd like to roleplay it either way! I have an OC. I just need someone to play Harry for me! Also have plots depending on the year

5) Criminal Minds: Now I'm not caught up on this show, but I do have an oc that pairs with Derek Morgan. I have no plots for this and usually wing it or brainstorm with someone.

6) 13 Reasons Why: I have an OC. I just need a Clay. I love this show despite how sad it can be and would love to roleplay it.

7) Victorious I have an oc. I just need a Beck. I know it's a kids' show, but I love the show despite that

8) Smosh: I have an OC that pairs with Shayne! I just need a Shayne if possible. I can also double up!

9) Bones: I just made an OC for Sweets, and I'm dying to use her (I haven't watched the show in years, so I might not remember a lot)

10) RENT: I love the movie, and i made OC that pairs with Mark! Im dying to RP this one (though i know it's rare)

11) Blue Bloods: I recently started watching this and finished it and would love to roleplay an OC that pairs with Danny!

12) Markiplier: so I have an oc that pairs with Mark! It's been a long time since I've done one.

13) Grey's Anatomy: I recently started watching this from season 3 and im now on season 7. I have an oc that pairs with Owen Hunt that I'd like to try for the first time.

14) CHiPS: so I know this is an old show but I started rewatching with my dad and I'm currently on season 5. I have an oc that pairs with Ponch! (I really wanna do this one if possible)

15) Girl Meets World: Lucas and my oc!

That's all I can think of! I'm usually semi lit also and tend not to do one-liners unless I have some writers block! I live for romance and would love a romance rp. I don't really like slow burns as it makes me impatient, but we can always discuss that in chat! So hit me up if you're interested!
