Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

Anna! Thanks so much for asking! 🥰🥰🥰

Muscle Memory: Outlander, Jamie/Claire, modern AU, amnesia fic - and kidfic! Features lots of angst and family feels and some fluff along the way. This one was a big project but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. 18 chapters, 121k, complete.

Here's All the Melting Thrill (And Here's the Kindling Fire): Outlander, Jamie/Claire, modern AU, a complete retelling of S1 in modern form. Plenty of me giving into my more dramatic and long-winded instincts, but I like a lot of my prose here and hey, firefighter!Jamie + nurse!Claire feels like a winning combo. 14 chapters, 114k, complete.

things left behind and the things that are ahead: MCU, Steve/Peggy, post-Endgame, comprehensive series of vignettes about Steve and Peggy's life together, featuring lots of different POVs and OCs. I love these guys with my whole heart and - despite a few duds in there - am really happy with this universe that I created. 43 chapters, 128k, complete.

Homemakers: MCU, Steve/Peggy, Steve and Peggy learn to cook together and it's just sweet and good fun and the flow is really nice. This is what I think of as sort of emblematic of my oneshot style. 1 chapter, 1.3k, complete.

So That You Will Hear Me (my words sometimes grow thin): MCU, Steve/Peggy, First Avenger but what if Steve and Peggy had been telepathically connected for their entire lives. I'm a sucker for this kind of soulmate-y trope, and I really like the final line of the middle chapter. 3 chapters, 7.6k, complete

Women's Fiction Books2Read: https://bit.ly/3Vz5aUq   @RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #FlyingHome #RDKardon #WomensFiction   Never forget… In September 2001, Tris Miles faces difficult choices. As Chief Pilot of Westin Charter Company, she’s mentoring Jannat, a brash young captain with limitless potential and a shocking secret. An offer to summit the peak of the pilot pyramid entices Tris to quit her job, but an old nemesis stands in her way. Meanwhile, Tris juggles the men in her personal life. A friend-with-benefits pushes for commitment. An ex-boyfriend returns, still in love with her. Unexpectedly, Tris develops new feelings for someone who is already dear to her. On September 11th, Tris and her crew depart Edinburgh for the United States. Just feet off the ground, they are mysteriously ordered back to the airport where they learn of a deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil—using airplanes as bombs. When Tris discovers that her best friend was a passenger on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center, her world is shattered. With a broken heart and her entire life up in the air, Tris doesn’t know where to turn. Can she find the courage to navigate her way home?

Seven Sentence Sunday

Tagged by my loves @flyinghome-againstthewind and @lara-frasers 🥰🥰 Here’s a little baseball!jamieclaire 💙 hoping to have this chapter ready to publish soon 🙏

Jamie stroked her hair and ran his fingers down her arm, smiling sleepily but engrossed as she spoke of her uncle.

“Can ye tell me more?” He asked gently.

“About Lamb?”

“Anything really, I just want to listen to you. I missed you.” Jamie kissed her forehead and rested his mouth there for a moment and she pressed into him.

“Anything, hm? Well, Uncle Lamb used to tell me how much like my mother I was.”

Seven Sentence Sunday

A day late but I think it will be worth it! Thanks my dear @flyinghome-againstthewind for tagging me to share.

Here we have a snippet of Claire and Jamie spending time at Lallybroch for the most recent Time Comes in Roses 🌹 chapter I have been working in (as in you will probably forget you read this by the time it is posted 😅).

Claire had a hunch that the orderly way Maggie ran her zoo - with clear sections for each animal, regular feeding times, and each group of animals getting an equal amount of affection - were not dissimilar to the way Jenny Fraser ran her household. Maggie introduced Claire to each of the nearly fifty plastic animals, telling her their names and their backstories. Claire marveled at the little girl’s creative mind and true love for all of the animals. The pair played for nearly an hour, Claire learning how to be Maggie’s assistant zookeeper, before wee Jamie came bursting into the room to tell them that breakfast was ready.

The two kids ran excitedly to the kitchen, obviously hungry, while Claire moved at a more leisurely pace. She sipped on the cup of coffee Jamie had brought her while she took in all of the different pictures and paintings that decorated the upstairs hallway. It was a true archive of Lallybroch’s long, rich history, with paintings that Jamie told her dated back to the 1700s and pictures that showed the generational history of the Fraser family.

Nudging @lara-frasers to share a bit of the fic she’s working on. 🥰

WIP Wednesday

Your tag motivated me to keep writing, so thank you @adsosfraser 🥰 here's the last bit I wrote, for chapter 14 of the wip I'm posting

“Dinna fash, but now ye have to tell me what’s makin’ ye forget ‘bout me,” Geillis playfully slapped Claire’s shoulder. Claire grabbed her phone from the pocket of her scrubs and opened the camera roll. “See for yourself.” With a sigh, she handed it to her friend.

last ten lines

the lovely @earnmysong tagged me to post the first line from the last ten fics ive posted! i think since the last time i did this there are at least 2 or 3 new ones ... apologies in advance to the moots that almost all of these are psych lol. it be that way sometimes.

no-pressure tagging @firstelevens @sesamestreep @emilybrontay @flyinghome-againstthewind and anyone else who wants to partake!

i'll wait for you to come down [psych, gen]

Like most of their arguments, this one is a matter of syntax and semantics.

2. valerie, call on me [psych, shawn/juliet]

The whole thing starts because Shawn forgot to do the laundry.

3. the biggest part of me [psych, mollyverse]

Shawn wakes up with the grit of no sleep behind his eyeballs and his every limb feeling like lead.

4. we are far too young and clever [psych, mollyverse]

Juliet’s always been the jealous type, but she’s never been jealous of Gus.

5. yes, mickey? [psych, shawn/juliet]

With her back against the bedroom wall, Juliet plays detective. 

6. wendy run away with me [psych, shawn/juliet]

One morning, three months into dating Shawn, Juliet digs a VHS of Peter Pan out of storage and does her paperwork in the conference room.

7. in a day or two [psych, gen]

In Gus’s memory, the Tuesday before Junior Prom is marked by the dead frogs in biology class and the most disgustingly broken bone the world ever has the displeasure of witnessing. 

8. up, down, jump around [psych, shawn/juliet]

Juliet is officially miserable. 

9. and it's alright, and it's coming along [guardians of the galaxy, gen]

"This is stupid," Nebula says flatly, while Peter takes aim with his free arm. 

10. at the high school dance (where you can find romance) [psych, gen]

As if the rest of today hasn’t been horrifying enough, when Lassiter gets back to the empty hospital waiting room with the requested 9-p.m.-hail-mary-verge-of-collapse coffee and truly unwieldy large sized woman’s purse in his hands, O’Hara is blubbering.

Drop everything and go read it now!

[theawkwardterrier]

Questions for fic writers: 1, 2, 23, 45 🥰

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

It probably depends which fandom/ship you're looking for! I would say for Steggy, things left behind has lots of family/home stuff which is a big theme for me, plus it's kind of a combo of oneshot style and multichap/world-building, which bridges one area I think of as my traditional zone to another I'm exploring more and more. For J/C, I'd say maybe Muscle Memory or Here's All the Melting Thrill.

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

Mine are:

Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (25)

Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (15)

Originally Posted on Tumblr (12)

Kid Fic (11)

Lolll, yeah, that's me for sure! I love working doing AUs and especially figuring out how to integrate the details of a different setting or period into present day. Canon divergence or post-canon stuff touches on the need for either simply more story or for things to have turned out differently (i.e. often not bad). And then there's the fact that I'm a tumblr girlie who loves my faves interacting with kiddos/having families 😊😊

23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?

I feel like this is one I've covered pretty well, actually. Maybe coffee shop AU because it's such a classic even if I've never been super drawn to it? Plus I'd also like to play around more with soulmate stuff, just because I'm weak for it even if I don't know that I have anything new or more to say about it than has already been said.

45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

I started writing fic when I was 12 so good lord, what haven't I improved on??? 😅 Probably the biggest thing is to combine my natural writing style with remembering to do things like describe characters and settings, or trade off between that and dialogue and internal emotion/monologue/reflection.

Questions for me, the fic writer!

[lord-jen-grey]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

Thanks @flyinghome-againstthewind for the ask!!

My 5 fave fics that I wrote.

You know I’m a big supporter of self love 😏.

I have to say O Night Divine would have been on this list, but I don’t think of it as a fic anymore because it’s so much more. Because of that, my 5 faves are pretty easy to come up with. Here we goooooo….

5. The Silver of Moonlight from the Sun, Moon, and Truth series

This story was so natural to write. The series might be some of the sexiest stuff I’ve written (for whatever that’s worth). The main reason it’s such a fave for me is because multiple people shared with me how it helped them open their minds about their sexuality and accept proudly who they are. Fucking incredible.

4. A Thousand Ships from the Tales of James Fraser series

I sat with this idea for 6 months before I started writing it. I laughed myself to tears coming up with the idea, and I laughed typing every fucking word. If I’ve done anything brilliant in my life, it execute this concept.

3. Paved With Yellow Stones

I can’t begin to describe the effort that went into this story. The planning of every minute detail. The intricate plot that could not be deviated from once it was started. It was not easy, and it took a few years of learning to plan and execute complex plot to write something like this. So, yeah, I’m proud of this baby.

2. Like Petals Falling

This story was meant to be a quick and simple palate cleanser after writing a few dark, heavy plots in other fics. How did it turn into something so deeply personal? Well, THE POETRY. Poetry is, at its essence, DEEP and MEANINGFUL. I’ve poured so much of myself into this story in a way I had never done so with any fic before. 🥹

1. Journey of a Thousand Kisses and the 1000 Kisses series.

The intention with this story was to combine my favorite things: obsessively in love Frasers, fucking in the Highlands like rabbits, and building a perfect, happy life. I wanted to write a joyful story that did not require a ton of devastation as the main point of the plot. That’s not an easy feat as a writer. It’s beat into our heads that conflict is vital to good storytelling, and I was intentionally removing so much of that conflict, focusing more on the dynamic between them and resolving a mystery that the readers didn’t even know existed until 6/7 of the way through the story! I wanted people to think it was pure fluff, but then be blindsided by so much more. Then I wanted to do it again with 6 more stories in this universe. I love this series the most, and I love its beginning more than anything.

Do you agree with this list? Do you have another thoughts? I’d love to hear them. 🥰
