The saddest part of any journey is when you have to fly home, next year in Jerusalem!

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

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.

seven sentence sunday

i wrote some things finally 😭

thank u to everyone (@flyinghome-againstthewind, @theawkwardterrier, @freneticfloetry, @liminalmemories21, @philtstone) who has tagged me in various WIP things the last few weeks/months. My brain has been mush and i'm currently trying to un-mush. I'm back on my outlander bullshit and am starting to pick away at another hozier inspired 5+1. claire my little in-denial angel. mwah.

Claire wasn’t going to fall in love with anyone. She tucked the one blanket left on the inn bed up over her shoulder, pulling it tight under her chin and staring at the fire in the hearth. The stones had swept into her life and swept her off her feet, away from her time and her husband and everything she knew, depositing her at the feet of one Jamie Fraser. She hadn’t asked for it, she hadn’t planned for it, and she certainly hadn’t planned to stand up on the other side of time travel of all things with a new…. Infatuation. Which was all it was, all it could be. And yet. Well.

no pressure tagging @theawkwardterrier @flyinghome-againstthewind @liminalmemories21 @freneticfloetry @homerforsure @philtstone and anyone else who has some sentences they'd like to share!

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!

[gotham-ruaidh]

Do you read fanfics of other writers? If yes which ones you're reading atm?

Top pick right now is @flyinghome-againstthewind's Beside the Seaside [click here to read it on AO3].
