#fic wrangling

[luxpurplishgreen]

Read the comments people. They're gold 😂

Extremely displeased to announce I just opened my writing doc to find the fic has not yet written itself. Will check back in tomorrow to see if it’s made any progress

Anastasia AU where og!SQQ goes missing early on. The other sects can sense that something is up and they’re demanding his presence during the next Immortal Alliance Conference. But there’s absolutely no trace of him and SQH panics. He hooks Liu Qingge into looking for an acceptable lookalike since LQG is constantly off-peak and it wouldn’t rouse suspicions. He finds several who could pass (with a little lot of work)—one of them happens to be Shen Yuan. Cue the ‘To be a Princess’/‘Learn to Do It’ montage over the next couple months while continuing their efforts to locate the missing SQQ, not realizing that the reason they can’t find him is because his body’s already present. It just happens to be occupied with someone else.

  "Marry me..."

  "What?"

  "Marry me..." Jake repeats, happiness and joy dripping from every pore of his body, his body sliding against Bradley's. "We love each other, why shouldn't we get married?"

  "Uh... cause I'm already married?" Bradley states.

It stops him cold.

Ice in his veins.

Happiness and joy immediately turned to feelings of betrayal and hurt.

  "You're what?"

Possible New AO3 Tags!!

So, I think we all know that the ao3 tag situation is...not ideal. You have basically two choices for tags: Age Regression/De-aging (which is technically meant for physically regressed/de-aged characters, not agere) or Non-sexual Age Play (which is...the wrong thing). Both of these tags are inaccurate for our community, but we have used them because its as close as we can get. It's even gotten to the point where Age Regression/De-aging has wrangled everything under the sun for agere (agere, age regression, regression, and every tag we make complaining about our tag situation). So! I have two possibilities for new tags we can use!

🧸Inner Child Therapy🧸

this one is probably the most obvious choice? at least it is to me lol inner child therapy is another, more clinical name for agere, so it would be a good choice. it's also not currently used for anything on ao3 (Healing the Inner Child is a tag, but not currently one with more than i think 3 fics, and it's not a common tag, so it would more than likely get wrangled, but I think it'd be okay)

with this one, we would also have the option to use secondary tags like we use with Age Regression/De-aging currently (think how a lot of fics use "Age Regression Little [Character]" tags, we could use something like "Inner Child Little [Character]" instead)

i think inner child therapy as a term would also help with the stigma around agere because it really...can't be confused with anything else? not as far as i can make out anyway lol

a con toward this would be that not many ppl currently know this as a term, and therefore it would be hard to implement

🖍Crayonfic🖍

i just think this one is cute. like we're all just out here writing our fics in crayon to share with each other hehe

in my head, this would even be able to include a whole tagging system using diff crayon colors to mean different things (when i was thinking of this concept, i was thinking along the lines of pink crayon = fluff, blue = angst, green = whump, purple = romantic, orange = platonic, white = diapers, etc etc etc etc)

it just so cute in my head lol, and it would definitely be easy to separate from the current tags

a con toward this one is just that it could be confusing to try to implement and i could see it getting wildly out of hand and complicated if we aren't careful with it

No matter what, it will absolutely be a struggle to change tags to get away from what we have right now. In order for any sort of new tag, one of these or something else, to work we would all have to agree not to crosstag. When tagging fics, you would *not* be able to tag it with the old tags and one of the new ones because it would more than likely result in the new tag getting wrangled and then we're back to square one. It would have to be a community effort to get it explained *why* things are different, now, and how to find fics. It would also be a struggle to get authors of older works to maybe switch their tags out so that new readers can find them more easily under a new tag.

These are just my ideas, and I'd love to open the discussion up to you guys!! If there's any other ideas for tags, I'd love to hear them!!!

[shesmore-shoebill]

Running a little low on both writing capabilities and spare time at the moment. So instead, for day three of Amangela Holiday Week. I'm just going to offer the skeleton of a dialogue exchange I envisioned for this prompt, and you can all fill in the blanks as you'd like! 🫡 The voices are potentially way off but hopefully the vibes are still there.

standard smosh rpf disclaimer. F for fiction. fear not ye characterization does not apply irl. etc. etc.

Prompt: "You taste like peppermint."

----

"... Amanda. ...I know what candy canes taste like."

"Yeah, but. Well. Well, this is just in case you wanted to try. My one. Because this one is- uh- especially good."

"...You specifically want me to try your. Half eaten. Candy cane."

"Well not if you're going to give me attitude about it-"

"I'm not giving you attitude, you're just being weird. And I love you for it, but-"

"We share food all the time, this isn't THAT weird. And you don't have to-"

"-no, I mean, I'll do it, but god, Amanda, you know, there are WAY easier ways to get me to swap spit with you-"

[silence]

"... Did I say that out loud?"

"... Okay, way to turn my cute planned thing into the grossest thing I've ever heard. "Swap spit???""

"HEY- wait, don't turn this on me, what do YOU mean by planned-"

"You know what? Nevermind. Just get over here so I can kiss you."

"... you taste like peppermint."

"Well. I ate like. Four candy canes since this morning to try to get this to happen, so, I'm sorry, but it did work."

"I didn't say I didn't like it. ...But let me check again."

----

Context floating in my head that I couldn't execute effectively/quickly enough: this is pre amangela officially getting together. but both of them have an inkling of how they/the other person feels. Someone brought candy canes in. Angela has spent the full day being tormented because every time she looks over at Amanda, Amanda has a candy cane in her mouth/is partway eating it/is looking over at her while her mouth. Does Things/etc and she's Not Being Regular About It.

(In her defense Amanda is absolutely doing it intentionally.)

Close to the end of the day Amanda fully just offers Angela if she wants to "try her candy cane" while holding out the one she's eating. Cue this conversation.

Optionally: whatever else you think suits it!

thanks again to @zillaphoneswag for setting this up! :)

[warmblanketwhump]

I write so much cold whump that it’s hard to get creative, but I did brainstorm this idea:

in a fantasy whump world, the whumper puts A under an ice curse. it’s designed to drop A’s core body temperature lower and lower, but not so low it’ll kill them—just make them miserable and feel hypothermic constantly.

At first the effects are minimal—they spend a few extra minutes by the fire, they need an extra sweater at dinner, there are cups of tea grasped by cold fingers. but the symptoms worsen as the curse sinks in its claws in. the normally cheerful A becomes pale and shadow-eyed, mildly irritable as they sit shivering by the fire.

at first, their friends just think A’s sick and being dramatic about it, rolling their eyes as A walks into another team meeting swathed in a blanket.

none of them realize that A’s not sleeping, growing weaker and weaker as they sink into a hypothermia that can’t be touched. nothing external can warm them, no matter how hard they try. their body temperature lowers, and A is absolutely miserable, consumed only with thoughts of how cold they are. no one realizes the ice that’s spreading inside them and chilling them through.

At night they bury themselves under blankets, wracked with chills that won’t go away. during the day, their limbs are so stiff with cold they can hardly move. soon, they’re bedridden under six blankets near a stove, lips blue and dark circles under their eyes. physically, they’re not in danger. but mentally, the effects of being so cold are taking a toll, and A has to be monitored at all times to make sure they're not trying to hurl themselves into the fire. the cold has stolen all reason from them, and their days are spent crying out for a warmth that no one can provide.

A’s shivering away as the whole team tries to figure out what’s wrong and what happened—which is exactly when the villain/whumper shows up, explains the curse, and makes their demands known.

comply? A lives.

ignore them? well, they’ll just have to see how long poor A can last while practically mad with cold.

the fundamental things apply

sam/bucky | alternate universe (mr and mrs smith au) | 2.2k | rated g

Two years before the events of outlaw life looks pretty wholesome, between covert missions and saving the world, Sam and Bucky spend their first Valentine's Day together as a married-but-not-actually-married couple.

It’s not completely Sam’s fault that he forgets what day it is. He’s been on back to back missions since he got back from Christmas with his family, and late winter is always so miserable in DC. Everything is gray and wet and icy, and Sam misses the Gulf right down to his bones at this time of year. He’d gone out of his way to spend the better part of the last two Februaries off on missions: Morocco last year, Peru the year before. 

Work is no help either. Most agents spend so much time in the field that the office is usually empty, and if anyone had a conversation that might have tipped Sam off, it happened while he was behind the closed doors of his office, writing up a report on the HYDRA cell they’d been tracking in Norway. He doesn’t clock it until he’s taking the metro home, the women sitting in front of him caught up in conversation about the benefits of a night in versus going to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day.

He feels his eyes widen as he pulls out his phone to check the date: February 14th.

“Did I say I wanted you to touch me? Maybe Vincent and Charles have a dead bedroom. Who wants to kiss a face like yours, anyway?” Patently false, considering Alex has wanted to do it forever. But he shelves that thought for a different day.  Henry raises an eyebrow as he smooths down the lines of his suit. “Hm. You think you'll get to kiss me with a smart mouth like that?” “Okay, Foxy. Don’t expect my tongue anywhere near yours tonight if things get sticky.” Henry smiles, soft and secretive. “Sure, Alex. No tongues, if you insist.”

feeling very guilty about slow updates for full throttle so here's a snippet of the next chapter xx

When Remus leaves the house at 5.30am on Saturday with his duffel bag, it’s not a Peugeot Bipper Tepee parked in the road at the mouth of Sirius’s driveway. At first, Remus thinks he’s made some mistake; that there’s a particularly eccentric taxi driver roaming north London who has stopped on their street, perhaps to pick up a very punctual bride and groom, or a time-traveller from the nineteen sixties. But no- Remus pushes the limp, wilted wisteria out of his face and sees Bill Weasley peering out of the back seat with a face that screams resigned. And fed-up. And please put me up for adoption, I've had enough. It's no mistake.  It’s not the safe, spacious family van Remus expected to spend the eleven hour drive to Scotland in.  It’s a tiny, aquamarine-and-rust 1966 Ford Anglia with — fuck — a box trailer. Remus thanks whatever higher power there may be that Sirius and James are not awake to witness this. He might fall to his knees, if his shitty legs could take it. ‘Hello, Remus!’ Arthur greets him happily, fussing to put the hazard lights on in the deserted street before coming out to help him with his luggage. ‘Lovely morning, isn’t it?'

[froizetta]

Hey, so you know last chapter when I said the remaining chapters would be up quicker? Well, 3 months later, I'm back to report that I was wrong. Mb lol

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Fandom: DCU Pairing(s): Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Bruce Wayne Length: 80.5k Chapters: 11/13

Clark was sitting slumped in one of the Fortress of Solitude’s crystalline chairs, staring at the slow crawl of the progress bar on the computer's large monitor, and very carefully, very deliberately, trying not to freak out. Despite his best efforts, he was freaking out anyway. Just a little. Here was the problem he was having – or rather the problem he’d been having, ever since about a minute before he’d left Wayne at the restaurant. The moment when he’d let instinct take over and looked through Wayne’s shirt to check his stomach for injury, and his gaze had snagged on the days-old bruising over his ribs. The moment his whole world had suddenly tipped on its axis when he realized, in a sudden moment of pure, unadulterated shock, that he’d seen that injury before. He’d been absolutely sure of that, on only a second glance. He was no radiologist, but fractures were a little like snowflakes to a man with x-ray vision and an eidetic memory: no two ever looked the same. Clark had recognized them on sight, even though he'd last seen them a week ago. Twin buckle fractures on the right 6th and 7th ribs. The same fractures he’d glimpsed in the batcave, sitting on that gurney in Batman’s little lead box of a medical suite, peering beneath layers of leather and Kevlar to assess the damage from that security guard’s bullet. Batman’s injury. On Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne was Batman. He’d gotten stuck there for a long time, mentally. Because, just… Bruce Wayne was Batman. Bruce Wayne. Was Batman. And Batman was Bruce Wayne. That meant that—that he’d been saved from kryptonite poisoning by Bruce Wayne. Heck, he had a one night stand with Batman – Batman! – and, and he’d gone on a date with him, and tried to seduce him oh god— …Okay. Clark was maybe freaking out a lot, actually.
