#dying on the first date

[bee-barnes-author]

officially starting work on Dying on the First date!

this story is about a medical student who is turned into a vampire against her will. after she rises from the grave, she tries to go back to her regular life. right away she struggles with her peculiar (even for a vampire) hunger. then, just when she thinks she's got the hang of this whole 'being undead' thing, bodies start dropping and our main character finds herself hunting her sire for answers.

the plot is still evolving, so the above is likely to change a bit.

Jason Kicks down Dick’s apartment door with a duffle bag in hand: turns out it’s not going to work out with Danny.

Dick about to enjoy some Chinese: oh no I thought you were really into him.

Jason, sitting down with a huff: I am but it’s just not going to work out.

Dick: what happened jason?

Jason: I fucked up that’s what.

Jason: he kissed me.

Jason: and afterwards, I panicked

Jason: and, just exclaimed “golly!”

Dick, trying to not keep a straight face:…

Jason: I said it very loudly..

Dick: oh jason-

Jason clutching a pillow: I can’t step foot into crime alley again Dick, I’m going to have to burn my bridges, start over-

Dick, lightly chuckling: it’s not that bad-!

Jason, into the pillow: just put me back into my casket!!

Idea: Sebastian is trans, Sam and Sebastian are dating and have been since before seb came out, which happened while kent was deployed. So when kent left for war he knew his teenage son had a “girlfriend,” and when he comes back, his young adult son now has a boyfriend, and he doesn’t realize it’s the same person, so he’s like, “why did Sam never write to me about breaking up with that girl or coming out as queer and starting to date this guy,” and doesn’t understand why Sam’s new boyfriend that he’s never met is acting somewhat familiar with him

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

Trick or Treat!

Here’s a treat! A blurb from my next novel, Dying on the First Date

Attracted by the blood, creatures encroach. They’re bulging shadows that dart out of sight the second my gaze lands on them. Each in varying size and shape, but all curious about me. Am I food? Am I a threat? Am I merely the newest, and oddest, decoration for their seemingly endless void?

The boldest amongst them floats closer still. It’s only when one gets within arms reach that I see it for what it really is. A fish. It’s a lake trout, specifically. Which baffles me because, wasn’t I in downtown Portland last night? What lake in Portland has trout?

Then it hits me. I’m at the bottom of a lake. That jackass told me he’d dispose of me in a lake. I didn’t think he’d have the balls to carry me around a park long enough to reach one, though. And while I’m having revelations, another one sucker punches me. This one sends me reeling. I’m at the bottom of a lake, and I haven’t felt the need to use my lungs once.

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.

Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.

So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.

Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.

So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?

Early april?

John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?

Quick calendar searck reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.

So what I'm saying

What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

Greetings of pain and sorrow,

I am Ariadne, last known member of the Milan Duchy.

I have recently been informed that you have become my dearest younger sister's paramour? I do hope this little escapade you have decided to participate in will end nicely.

If not? Well, I am getting rusty due to my lack of training again, I wouldn't mind a new target to practice with.

Lots of regards,

Ariadne di Milan, The new Duchess of Milan

Oh gods not again

Right well, once again, I promise I have absolutely no ill intention towards Kat

Asdfhjkl okay I couldn't wait until I got home to roll!! So I did it... At my work desk (thankfully no one sits besides me... And at lunch... Which i think I totally failed at keeping a straight face 🫠)

So... story time

I decided to try a 10pull early in the morning. I'm still far from pity but... Of course. All the signs were pointing... To me getting c-blocked... By fish boy! D:<

Like even irl (from my previous irl post about getting Raf's badge) and even when I logged into the game, opened the wish page and collected the Galaxy Explorer rewards... It was all Rafayel 😭 but hey... At least I got... A new companion... Right...? 🥺

Fast forward like about 2 hours later...

I was originally planning to just... Go home and roll at night where Xavier usually comes home whenever I pull for Wishes

But it was lunch and I felt just a bit impatient... Why not build pity? Rafayel totally just reset it anyways...

Here comes the kicker.

I return to the game and he's like looking away, to which now, I have to tap on him a couple of times to get his attention.

And he casually dishes out his "No matter how many times it takes" line... But Xavier saying this famous line is super common in this outfit. So I have 0 expectations.

Also Zayne is now the first face I see on the Wish page. So, even lower expections... Until... I see the red flash...

And then... His flower... 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭 Xavier may be guaranteed in my next pull but I am not expecting him to come back right away???? My pity was reset afterall??? AHHHHHH!!!

And now he casually levels up the affinity level too! Like!! XAVIER PLS ヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/ my heart can only take so much surprises in a day...!

🍀NOW GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE REST WHO'RE PULLING!🍀 ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ May this ⭐star (Xavier)🌠 return home to your sides! And whoever you're pulling for! Go get your man!
