Chapter One
A Love and Deepspace Fanfiction (Sylus X OC)
Warnings -> None needed I think?
<- Prologue
An original fan-fiction for Love and Deepspace. I appreciate reblogs but reposting to Tumblr or any other site is not okay with me.
January, 2047
The kinky scene playing out in my head is shattered by my cellphone's alarm, demanding I put the book down and start the day. I'm reluctant to do so, the most enjoyable part of my life is losing myself in a novel, but if I don't work, none of us will get to eat.
I stop the alarm and only allow myself to finish the current chapter, trying desperately not to continue reading as I slip the handmade bookmark I received for Christmas between the pages.
"Later." I promise the book, promise myself, and reach up to place it on the shelf above my head.
I crawl to the edge of my bed and slide the door open, making room for the drawers beneath my bed to open. My room isn't a room, but a large closet my brothers helped me convert into a decent sleeping space. We shoved a daybed in for me to sleep on, the drawers underneath deep enough for me to store my clothes in. Needless to say, I don't have a floor, but hey, at least it's impossible for my room to get messy. My older brothers mounted shelves on the walls to hold other things, though most of the space is taken up by books. It took several weeks to learn how to navigate the small space without smacking my head or limbs off something.
The only decoration I have is the colourful stained glass suncatcher hanging from the light fixture attached to the ceiling. Suncatchers are useless in the N109 Zone, where the sun forgets to shine, but I was drawn to it anyway. Partly because there will always be a part of me that hopes the sun will remember this city one day, and partly because the red dragon flying over the mountains is too beautiful to ignore. I was always well behaved in public as a child, but I vividly remember crying as I begged my parents to buy it for me.
My mother disappeared weeks after I brought my dragon home. My father, slowly falling apart after her loss, walked out on us a few years later. My older brothers and I worked our asses off as teenagers, but still couldn't afford the rent at our old house. Hence how all five of us ended up in this cramped, two bedroom apartment. I volunteered to take the closet - it made more sense for my brothers to share the bedrooms.
I slide the closet's door shut to change, and open it again once I'm done. Throwing a sweater on top of my turtleneck, I carry the clothes I slept in to the bathroom and dump them into my hamper. I don't have room in my closet for it, though I wish I did - I’ve had to smack my brothers upside the head on several occasion's for getting freaked out over a sight of a used bra.
God forbid a woman use a bra to hold her cantaloupes down. I’m sure the sight of those bouncing around would scar them even more.
I walk to the end of the only hallway in the apartment and knock on the door on the right with my knuckles. "Simon! Troy! You up?"
I'm not expecting the door to open, but it does. It's Simon that answers, the more studious of my younger twin brothers. "I'm up."
Evidence shows that he's been up for a while. His dark, shoulder length hair looks brushed out and his clothes don't look like they've been slept in. Like me, he's layered up to withstand the unbearable chill in the apartment.
I tilt my head and scrutinize him. He might be ready, but if he's covering up for Troy... "And your brother?"
Simon flashes his quirky smile and points a thumb over his shoulder. Peeking around his tall, lean frame, I spot their beds. One is empty and freshly made, and the other is still occupied, the blankets pulled all the way up to Troy's head.
Huffing, I barge in and yank the top blanket off. "Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty. It's a school day."
"Yeah, I told him." Simon said, sitting on the edge of his own bed. He opened his backpack and started rummaging through it. "He said 'five more minutes' twenty minutes ago."
Troy grumbles and tries to swat me away. "It's Friday."
I raise a brow. "So? I don't care if it's the start of the week or the end of it, you're going."
He twists his head to cut me with a sleepy glare. He's identical to Simon, from his hair to his baby face and his lean build. "You dropped out in your sophomore year and you're doing well. Why are you making us finish?"
My fist curls tighter around the blanket as I blow air out of my nose. "I decided that keeping food in our stomachs was more important at the time. We're in a better position now, so there's no need for you two to quit. Go build a brighter future for yourself, Troy."
I let the blanket go and turn around, heading for the door. I close it behind me, don't linger as Simon starts chewing his twin out the second I'm gone. I make for the kitchen instead.
There's no division between the kitchen and the living room, unless one counts the line where tile meets wood as the invisible divider between the two spaces. The kitchen consists of a mini fridge, an oven, not much counter space and a tiny island that can only seat three people at a time. If we're all eating together, which is rare, two of us would have to eat on the old couch my older brothers found abandoned in an ally a few blocks down.
My stomach sinks when I open the fridge and realize how low we're running on groceries. Things like juice are a luxury, so I grab three water bottles and place them on the island. There are only two eggs left in the carton, only four slices left in the bread box, three apples that are starting to go soft.
I heat the stove top and spare a little bit of butter to grease the bottom of the pan to keep the food from burning. I crack the eggs first, frying them to perfection before transferring them onto a plate to cool. Grabbing remaining slices of bread, I give them all a quick toast.
Simon and Troy appear just as I set two plates on the island, each one containing a fried egg sandwich and an apple. They thank me in unison as they slide into the stools, digging in as I place two bottles of water within their reach. I'd like to offer them juice, but that's a luxury.
"Are you working today?" Simon asks as I reach into the overhead cupboard for a bowl and a box of granola.
"Yup." I reply, popping the 'P' as I pour less than half what the bowl will hold. "It's shipment day, so I'll be staying late to pick up some extra hours."
I internally cringe as I empty the last of the milk into the bowl. Tossing the empty carton into the garbage, I fish a spoon from the drawer and take up the empty seat next to Troy. He's managed to get himself ready quickly, but it seems almost too quick. Should I ask him if he brushed his teeth?
"What the hell is that?" Troy asks, gesturing to my cereal with his chin.
"It's breakfast." I scoop the first bite into my mouth.
"That's it?" Simon asks, peering around is twin to look at me.
I nod while I chew. "It's okay, I'm not that hungry. Drew and Mateo are probably gonna want to eat something when they finally drag their asses through the door."
"You piss me off, you know that?" Troy says, but there isn't a hint of malice in his voice as he rips his sandwich in two and hands the unbitten half to me.
Without a word, Simon gets up to grab a knife and slice his apple. He places half of it on the table before me and gives me a look that screams 'don't argue'.
I sigh, but smile at gratefully at the two. No one says another word after that, too busy eating to hold a conversation.
I finish before they do, hurrying to dump my dirty dishes in the sink. I reach into my back pocket and pull out two ten dollar bills, handing one to each brother. "Here, lunch money."
Troy pushes my hand away. "I'll just beat someone up for it."
"Troy." I scold, narrowing my eyes into the harshest glare I can muster. "We don't take from people if we can provide for ourselves."
Troy looks from me, to Simon, to our surroundings, then back to me. "Provide for ourselves. Right."
He gets up, grabs his backpack from the floor, and stalks out the door into the dark, poorly kept public hallway of the building. Desperate, I turn to the other.
Simon sighs and takes the money. "I can't promise we'll use it."
He too, takes his leave, but not before kissing me on the cheek first. Leaning against the island, I watch him go, sighing as the front door closes behind him. It opens again immediately, two taller, older versions of Simon and Troy with cropped hair entering.
"And where the hell have you two been all night?" I ask, noting the scratches and bruises marking their faces.
Mateo rolls his eyes and waves me off as he walks past, heading for the room he shares with his twin. "It's too early for your nagging, Evie."
I close my eyes and take a deep breath to steady myself as the door slams. "If he brakes those hinges-"
"I'll fix them." Drew says, dropping into the stool Simon used just minutes earlier. He folds his arms on the island and drops his head on them. "Things didn't go well."
"I can see that. Wanna tell me what you two were up to?"
I may be the middle child, the only daughter and non-twin my parents had, but I certainly don't feel like the middle child. Simon and Troy were only six when Mom disappeared and Dad began to spiral, so I, at twelve years old, started looking after my younger brothers as a parent should have. Drew and Mateo were sixteen then, and though Dad was starting to fade, they at least managed to finish high school before Dad walked out and took his income with him.
I always hoped, still do, that they'll change their course in life. That one day, they'll stop sneaking around at night doing God knows what for income and find something stable. My job just barely keeps us afloat, and if they were to find something secure, we would be so much better off.
I have no idea what they're doing, or why they're choosing it, because they refuse to talk to me about it. All I know is that there's a sixty-forty chance of them returning with some kind of profit, leaning forty. The sixty is the possibility of us losing money over whatever it is they're doing.
At first I thought they were gambling, but they swear up and down it's not. I know them well enough to know when they're lying, and they aren't about this. I also considered some kind of fight club they had to pay their way into, but again, they said no.
"No, not really." Drew stands up and tucks the stool in. "I'm going to bed."
"Can you at least make a grocery run today?" I stop him before he can get too far. "We're seriously running low."
He sighs and runs a hand over his practically bald head. "Yeah, okay. We can do that."
"Thank you." I glance at the clock mounted on the wall. "I'm going to work. I'll be home late this time."
Drew hums tiredly and leans over to kiss the top of my head. "We appreciate you, Evie, even Mateo. I'll kick him in the balls for you."
I slap his chest. "Don't do that. I want as many nieces and nephews in my future as possible."
There are several key things one must know in order to survive living in the N109 Zone. The first is to try and avoid going anywhere alone, even if you know the area like the back of your hand. If you absolutely have to, you haul ass there and back, avoid lingering in places where you could be noticed.
I've mastered the art of getting to and from the bookstore I work at alone, the number of close calls I've had I can count on one hand. They've all been mild, and only twice I've been robbed and, thankfully, left alone after. Most of the time my brothers would pair up and meet me at the end of the day so I wouldn't be walking alone so late, but that isn't an option this time. Drew and Mateo are out 'working' and I don't dare ask Simon and Troy to leave the apartment this late into the night.
The N109 Zone is always dark and dangerous, but at night, it's even more so. Simon and Troy would still brave it to meet me, and to avoid that, I lied. Texted them to say Luke and Kieran were walking me home.
Luckily, they don't know that I haven't heard from the eccentric twins in several days.
Every click of my ankle boots against the cobblestone sidewalk makes me cringe. It's so loud in the silence that blankets the street, anyone hiding in the nearby shadows would hear me coming and be given an opportunity to prepare an ambush.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in a place like Linkon City, where people could walk in the dark with headphones blasting at full volume because they feel safe enough to do so.
The ringing of my cellphone makes me jump, and I quickly slam my back against the nearest wall to cover my blind spot. Another survival rule: always be alert of your surroundings, and if you find something to be distracted by, make sure your back is guarded.
I really hope nothing will come blasting through the wall at me.
"Speak of the devils." I mutter to myself, bringing the phone to my ear. "Hi, you two."
"Hey, Little V!" Luke exclaims, despite the fact I'm six years older than him. He and his twin are the same age as Simon and Troy, and over the past few months, have come to feel like two more little brothers. "So, listen, Kieran and I need you to meet us somewhere. I'll drop a pin."
"Right now?" I pull the phone back briefly to check the time. It's almost ten. "It's a little late for that, don't you think?"
"It's important." It's Kieran's voice that comes through this time. "You're the only one who can do this."
I sigh softly, thinking of the steamy book still waiting on the shelf at home. "Okay, I'll be there soon."
I hang up and check the location they sent. It's a park not too far from here, the map claiming it's only a ten minute walk from where I'm standing. I can probably make it in seven if I walk quickly.
The lamp posts do a good job of keeping the park lit. There isn't a soul in sight as I make my way to the swing set, no sign of the prank loving twins that summoned me here for one thing or another.
I take a seat on one of the swings and hold my crossbody purse close. I fish out my phone, about to text them that I've arrived, when a red mist suddenly explodes from the darkness. My chest constricts so tightly it's painful, heart leaping into my throat as a cry of alarm rips through my vocal cords.
A fair skinned hand wraps around my wrist and yanks me from the swing. I stumble on my feet, crashing into a broad chest so hard it feels like I hit concrete. My phone falls, tumbling across the wood chips that cover the playground.
Head snapping up, the first thing I see is a pair of bright red eyes staring down at me. Then I see a nose, full lips, a sharp jaw, silver hair that looks like silk. It's a man.
A very handsome one at that.
The attractiveness of the stranger makes me pause, but it only lasts a moment. Very quickly does my brain kick me back into high gear, reminding me of the danger I'm potentially in.
"Let me go!" I shout, trying to break free.
His grip on my wrist tightens, his other hand coming up to wrap around my jaw. He forces my gaze on him, his expression cold and unreadable. "Look at me."
Everything in my peripherals goes hazy as his right eye glows an even brighter crimson. My mind is suddenly ripped in two, a massive chasm opening right down the middle, separating my thoughts from my imagination.
On the side of my imagination, I see an untouched valley sprawling with red and white flowers, golden light of dawn touching the hills while a pearl pink sky extends far beyond the mountains. I've never been there before, it certainly doesn't exist here, where plants can't grow, and yet this scene being conjured strikes me with a sense of homesickness.
On the side of my thoughts, I can hear my own, distorted voice. 'Enough with the chaos. Live in peace. Stay close to those you love'. Over and over again, my own voice repeats this mantra. It echoes in the confines of my heart, almost makes its way to my tongue.
The trance I'm trapped in suddenly shatters, the real world crashing back into my consciousness so abruptly I can't help but gasp.
"Boss!" Luke and Kieran's voices suddenly reach my ears. In the corner of my vision, I can make out their masked figures, but I can't tear my eyes from the man in front of me.
He stares at me for a long minute, the look on his face stone, even colder than before. It's as if in this short time, he's decided he hates me. Even when he finally lets go and steps back, resentment lingers in his eyes. "She's useless to me."
My knees begin to shake, and it quickly turns into full body trembles as I take a step back. Two. On the third, I twist and run, ignoring the twins' shouts for me. Even though my life doesn't seem to be in danger, I run for it, almost stumbling over myself several times. I run from the feel of his massive hands on my skin, run from a voice so deep it's already sunken into my bones.
I don't stop until I'm well over a block from the park. Grabbing one of the street lights, I hold onto it as I fight to regain my breath. At some point during my run, I started holding it and listening for any clues that I was being following.
When my breathing starts to even out, I stand up straight and look around. I don't see the twins or that man anywhere, but it doesn't mean they aren't looking in the shadows. I have half a mind to call Luke and Kieran and demand answers-
Shit, I dropped my phone, and I am not going back to pick it up.
A missing phone quickly becomes the least of my worries when a gunshot disturbs the quiet.

Quick! Name your fav unfinished/abandoned fanfics. Maybe shouting their names into the void will bring them back like some kind of Beetlejuice situation.
(A gal can dream lol)
Cool ask!! You didn't ask me to specify a fandom, so I didn't. As I've been going through my bookmarks, tagging them and sorting them into the correct collections, I've noticed several unfinished that I miss. Please do not judge how incredibly insanely varied my tastes are. If an author had a tumblr, I tagged it. Please note this list is heavily influenced by nostalgia:
At the Office by wolfqueen1015 , 62/70 chapters, The 100, multiship (but I read it for linctavia (Lincoln/Octavia Blake)), last updated 2/22/2021.
As a linctavia shipper, I actually did not care if Clarke was with Bellamy or Lexa, and read many a fic I enjoyed that went either way for side linctavia. (I will sincerely apologize for that @catthestral497). This is a bellarke fic, beware. It's just a silly stupid social media fic that I found really funny in 10th grade, and I actually think is still funny. I want my last eight chapters.
operation braven by orphan_account , 19/? chapters, The 100, multiship (but I read it for linctavia (Lincoln/Octavia Blake)), last updated 7/3/2018.
It's my honest prerogative to say The 100 is a bad show, it's really not good, but I have read this fanfiction all the way through at least five times and some of it lives in my brain in place of childhood memories. Again, it's a silly social media fic but it's so funny, I miss it.
Infinite Variations by Someone_else_before , 17/? chapters, Stranger Things, mileven (Mike Wheeler/Eleven), last updated 1/1/2018.
My guilty pleasure for so so long has been 2016 post season one Stranger Things fics. I think they have infinitely cooler plotlines than the actual show. This is slightly different, it's a full season one rewrite where the Demogorgan never comes and never takes Will, and Eleven and Mike meet through dreams. I could die to find out how this fic ends, it's been like six years.
Perry the Evil-Adjacent Boyfriend series by Kereea , 15/? works, Phineas and Ferb, perryshmirtz (Heinz Doofenshmirtz/Perry the Platypus), last updated 8/29/2020.
STAY WITH ME ON THIS. Me and my roommate decided to explore this tag as a joke (highly recommend), and I stumbled upon this?? Incredibly sweet and wholesome gem?? Anyways its about a human Perry who quits OWCA and adopts the kids after his brother Lawrence and Lawrence's wife Linda die in a car accident (insane premise) and then him and Doof raise the kids with Vanessa? It's literally so wholesome and cute and family friendly, god I love this fic I have to go read it again I wish there was more.
New Elysium by Cloud_Nine , 16/? chapters, The Walking Dead, multiship (but I read it for gleggie (Glenn Rhee/Maggie Greene) and richonne (Rick Grimes/Michonne)) last updated 3/21/2021.
This fanfiction. Lives with me almost every day, I am FURIOUS that there isn't more of it. This is a fic about the members of Rick's group waking up before the apocalypse began but some have their memories of the events to come, so they start gathering, finding each other, and setting up the best location to hunker down. I just for some reason could spend hours reading about their little house mission and the seeds and working on getting generators to the farm, god, the tension of the time ticking down gets me.
New Chat Created: North Island Daggers by Comin2U , 24/24 (now marked complete), Top Gun movies, multiship (but I read it for icemav (Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell) and a lil for the hangster (Jake "Hangman" Seresin/Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw), last updated 7/29/2022.
This fic, ohohoho. By now you all know I love a social media au, a text fic, anything of the sort. But this fic is creme of the crop of any social media au. It's just so magnificent. It's my fav thing ever, which is found family, and involves my two favorite things to see in a Top Gun fic; icemav adopting the dagger squad post mission, and also the Daggers being shocked and then pissed at Rooster when they discover Mav is married to Ice. Also Ice using sign is always a fucking bonus to me.
Spider Sully series by @alexihollis , 11/? works, James Cameron Avatar movies, Spider Socorro & Sully Family, last updated 4/11/2023.
I've raved about this fic enough for you all, but once again! This is the og and if I had my way it would go on forever and ever and never end. Especially now that it's ended up on the front lines fighting for aocorro, which you all also know I've recently decided I enjoy.
I Believe We're The Enemy by reginalds , 7/10 chapters, Spartacus (2010), nagron (Nasir/Agron), last updated 8/13/2015.
This fanfiction was last updated in 2015, but I only watched 2010 Spartacus in 2021 and that's what hurts most of all, huh? What a fantastic show. There would probably be a ton more nagron fics on here but I stopped reading unfinished fics from 2012 😔. Like genuinely though I've bled that fandom dry, I've read every single Barca/Pietros fic that exists.
The Pride of Burrough House by RonsGirlFriday @constitutionalweasleymonarchy , 23/65 chapters, Harry Potter series, multiship, last updated 12/8/2023.
This fic is still being updated, I believe it's just slow because each chapter is an epic. It's just really cool and you all should read it. It's a regency era Harry Potter fic which like, all the ships getting their own plot. Also love love Harry just, growing up rich and cool with his parents lol. I think the dialogue is super fun and I'm very invested in every characters plot so far.
a study in poor judgement by cze , 7/8 chapters, The Goldfinch, boreo (Theodore Decker/Boris Pavlikovsky), last update 8/29/2022.
It's so close though!!! I've read every boreo fanfiction that exists too, and for a bummer of a book, it's a bummer of a fandom as well lol. This fic (although it also manages to be a bummer), puts Theo in such a funny predicament that it combats enough of the bummer-ness that I just loved it. And just like almost every other boreo fic, it's stupidly well written.
Best Laid Plans by voiceoftime @music-is-love-90 , 30/40 chapters, Bridgerton, kanthony (Kate Sharma/Anthony Bridgerton), last updated 3/24/2023.
This is my favorite of my favorite type Bridgerton fics to read, which is Kate and Anthony courting from the beginning instead of the nonsense with Edwina. And this one is just *chefs kiss* I think it's still being updated as well though. Hopefully.
Holding On and Letting Go by Nizhoni93 , 9/? chapters, The Black Phone, rinney (Finney Blake/Robin Arellano), last updated 9/8/2023.
I have pushed this fic before, but once again it is absolutely heartbreaking. I cried seven separate times reading just one of the chapters. I need it finished so I know if it works the fuck out, because I literally cannot handle ghost Robin being stuck watching the boy he loves but can't see him for the rest of Finney's life.
When Eywa Sleeps, So Do Her Children by Aye_Dei , 9/9 (now marked as complete), James Cameron Avatar movies, Ao'nung/Neteyam/Spider, last updated 10/23/2023.
This one is a massive bummer, as it was ended due to newfound bigotry, but I was really enjoying it before it was discontinued.
And finally, I just wanted to express my deep disappointment that my icemav Star Wars au was deleted halfway through. I'm mad about it.

As part of my Fannish 50 in 2025 series on DW, I have decided to start a Fanfic(s) of the Month series of posts.
I read a fair amount of fics (even if sometimes it feels like I'm reading less than I used to, I'm still averaging several fics a week), so I thought it would be a good idea to highlight the fic (or fics) that tickled my brain just right during the month.
The rules are simple:
Read fics
Bookmark those that did the trick
Post my thoughts about them on my DW (which I'll crosspost to tumblr in case you want to reblog it for future reference, but feel free to follow along on DW if you want)
That's it!
You're welcome to join me on your own blog by making a post and tagging it 'fanfic of the month' or comment with your fanfic of the month on this (and any upcoming) posts. Sometimes I read fandom blind if the premise looks interesting to me, so don't be discouraged if it's not from a fandom we share.
Without further ado, here are my January Fanfics of the Month (in no particular order).
--
Azaleas and Cicadas by vegarin
Sense8 | Sun/Kwon-Ho | 11k words
Summary
Sun Bak is gone. Even if her innocence could be proven, it's more than likely that he will never see her again. There's nothing tying her to Seoul now, not even revenge. She won't return. That doesn't mean the promise he made shouldn't be kept. His promise to her. Justice will prevail. It will. It has to. Detective Mun slowly recovers from the gunshot wound. Sun Bak is still out there somewhere, and he never expects to see her again. But life has other plans.
This fic is a beautiful exploration of how Sun and Mun's story could've ended. It's Mun's POV and it fills in the gaps left after S02E11's cliffhanger before the finale was released. If there had been no finale, this fic would have been enough to get the closure I needed.
I really enjoyed how quiet it seemed, how Mun's feelings grow in the background and how Sun cares for him even with the distance and all the obstacles separating them.
Additionally, it gave me the joy of seeing Joon-ki arrested. God bless.

It was Always You by FloridBloom
Arcane | Jayce/Mel/Viktor | 3.6k words
Summary
What if instead of disintegration Jayce falls into a universe where meljayvik is a possibility? He’d gone into Viktor’s mind, that cerebral interstellar place where everything was intimately connected and exactly known. And it was over. All of it was over so how could he be here? In Viktor’s bed. Naked in Viktor’s bed. Beside Viktor. Was there a universe where something like this could happen? Jayce put his head in his hands. “This is just a dream. This can only be a dream.”
From my own comment on this fic: This is it, the most perfect 'in another time, in another place' I've read with them.
I'm a sucker for Fix-It stories and this story is both a Fix-It for the ending and for the soul. It was sweet and horny and also made me feel butterflies in my stomach which earned it a spot in the list.

Triptych by Anonymous
Arcane | Jayce/Mel/Viktor | 11k words
Summary
"I think you two should talk. I think you’d actually get along,” Jayce said carefully. “Viktor and I are—” Mel started “Very similar. That’s why it’s you two. Why I couldn’t choose.” “Us two?” “Yes, who else?” Jayce said, kissing her palm. “I just wish you’d get along. So we could all be…together.” Mel arched an eyebrow. There was more to that “together” than he wanted to let on. She moved her hand to his chest. She could imagine a pale one next to it easily. Viktor was infuriating, but she knew beauty when she saw it. There was something there. She had always understood why Jayce wanted him. Jayce wants a threesome for his birthday. Mel is a little surprised to find she's happy to oblige. A story told over three parts.
From my own bookmark of this work: the story of the wonderful, very good meljayvik smut.
I can't possibly put into words how much I love this fic. I found it when only the first chapter was out and I subscribed in a second. The writing drew me in immediately and Mel's POV made it exquisite, addictive from start to finish.
Honorable mention to that melvik scene in chapter 2 that made me bark in real life and mumble "what the hell is wrong with me" afterwards. There's nothing wrong with me, the scene was too good, it was a natural reaction.

All for The Game | Kevin/Neil/Andrew | 25k words
Summary:
Kevin knows that Neil is really Nathaniel, Neil knows that Kevin is in love with Andrew, and they both know that Andrew will never be romantically available to either of them. Clearly, the only possible solution to this equation is that Neil and Kevin should start hooking up so that they can forget about who they really want to be with. After all, what's one more secret between them? Or, Neil propositions Kevin: why don't they drown their emotional sorrows about Andrew together?
Can I just start by saying: thank you, wyverning.
Usually Kandreil stories are about Andrew and Neil hooking up then Kevin joins them. Sometimes, Andrew and Kevin were hooking up when Neil joins them. Rarely, very rarely, it's Neil and Kevin who get the ball rolling and whenever that happens, we must take a minute to thank the author and their galaxy brain take.
Neil and Kevin are obsessed with each other and that's honestly all you need to know. This fic took that obsession to the next level and brought it to a satisfying conclusion. I swear to God, Andrew's reaction to Kevin and Neil was so in character I had to actively remind myself I was reading kandreil fic and not the forbidden secret extra content with the timeline of kandreil canon.
This fic is delicious start to finish and I've already reread it twice because it really did something to my brain chemistry. Highly recommended for any toxic polycule enjoyers because what they have is unhealthy and addictive and it will make your brain go fuzzy.

That's it for our first Fanfic of the Month post. Let me know what you think of these fics, if you'll be following along in your own blog, or what's your fanfic(s) of the month. The fanfiction community needs you! Spread the love for those fics that make you feel a little insane. See you next month :)

my ao3 writing history goes like this
orphaned shattered realms fics which are genuinely painful for me to go back and reread which was why i orphaned them. i was bad at formatting, for one, and also bad at writing. oh god the first one i wrote was in april 2019 that’s horrific to think about. it was also the second fic in the fandom ever on ao3 so that’s something. actually in total 8/22 of the shattered realms fics on ao3 were me if i include the orphans. anyway this was my first fic writing era throughout 2019
next was the danger days era, which are all still up on my account. I went back through the nuclear spectrum (my mostly OC-based fic) and it actually had some good writing. i spent so much time planning out that fic, i had an outline and i used to hand write the chapters on lined paper and then type them up when i got home. this was also the era when i was writing unholier verse (google docs that give you psychic damage if you open them btw) but that never got published anywhere despite the amount of work we put in. anyway i kinda wish i had finished the nuclear spectrum because it was basically an original story with vague danger days elements. i also wrote a few danger days ficlets as requests on tumblr and cross posted them to ao3. this is why it’s the fandom i have the most works in. honestly the writings not bad, i think i improved a lot while working on unholier verse even if it should never see the light of day. this was my 2020 era
after that was the couple of atla fics i wrote. one was sokka/zuko, one was katara/mai (underrated ship to me. like zutara if it was sapphic and zuko was cooler) and the other was both of those pairings. there’s a single genshin impact fic (beidou/ningguang)thrown in there during that same time. i know for a fact that i also have beiguang smut in my google drive somewhere but again that’s also never seeing the light of day. this was 2021
in 2022 i went back to the shattered realms. the obsession had reawakened and i wrote a couple fics and started a modern au that i never finished. i had a good outline for that one too but only posted one chapter. however, one of my favorite fics i’ve written, “on loyalties”, was posted that year. ugh i love that one it’s literally just two characters talking and it’s great
ok then 2023 i had zero zilch nada. i don’t know what was going on that year. i think i was completely off ao3 because i only have one fic bookmarked, and it was a game of thrones sansa/margaery fic that i never read and its over 1 million words. maybe i should read that though because i know for sure im never reading the end of GOT
2024 had my magnum opus of shattered realms fics, Came in Close, which is a missing scenes/destin karn character study and ugh it’s so good, the sort of thing you can only write when you know the source material intimately. and boy do i know the shattered realms intimately (gestures to how it was the reason i started writing fanfic)
and then of course now, tail end of 2024-2025, is my Stormlight era. I think it will end up surpassing my other eras in terms of volume of work especially because i will need to fill the Stormlight void for like 7 years until book 6 comes out

I don't think I've ever posted a survey here and this one has very basic questions I've answered a trillion times on livejournal.
-
What's your name?
Ashley
For how long you have this account?
I've had THIS account since december 2015 because I deleted the previous one when someone posted something so goddamn gross I just got rid of tumblr entirely. I think my first one was in 2009.
Favourite food?
probably any form of fried potatoes
Favourite drink?
Coffee, sparkling waters. < yeah definitely. coffee is the standby, hills bros classic cappuccino sometimes. really miss target's pear hibiscus sparkling water they discontinued.
Do you have any siblings?
brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister
Do you have pets?
I have a siamese cat named bobby
How old are you?
35 for another month
How many languages do you know?
I studied spanish for two years on duolingo then they fucked up the website and I couldn't figure out busuu. in middle school I tried to learn russian but jesus christ that language is way harder than english.
What's your all time favourite movie/tv show?
the simpsons. in more recent years I spend much more time watching kath & kim on repeat.
What are you enjoying to do in your free time?
fucking around on the computer basically. cleaning.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
introverted
Your favourite music genres?
electro-pop lollll. you get old and just mellow out.
Your dream place to visit?
fort wayne indiana
Something you wish you were better at?
staying focused and on task
How long do you take to respond to texts?
I rarely get a text that needs a response. if I see it I just answer right then.
Do you have any tattoos? If not, would like to?
no and no. I could never settle on a permanent design and frankly I have a weird skin condition. it would look like a fuzzy tv screen in five days.
What's your sexuality?
none go away
Do you like reading? If yes what's your favourite book?
I hate reading. I really just started doing it again about ten years ago to have something to do on break at work since talking to people makes me sick. reading just turned into like, a part-time job for me trying to beat last year's record and get through these goddamn Want To Read lists. and nothing I read is ever worth the time you put into it. I'm tired of it man! fuck books! we're going back to garfield comics!
Have you ever been in love?
no

single
Have you ever been heartbroken?
yes
Best memory you could think of?
idk going to cedar point probably
Worst memory you can think of?
well tragedies of course
Do you have any fears?
oh thousands. I'm very scared of like society collapsing. when there's a wreck on the interstate and you see traffic stopped for miles oh god my bone marrow does something primal.
Are you a morning or a night person?
I don't feel at my best any particular time. my last few jobs have needed me to wake up way before dawn so that's just what I do now and I never really enjoyed staying up super late when I was younger because there's nothing to do at all. may as well just be awake during daylight hours.
How many pictures you have on your phone?
a hundred at most, I try to dump them off in a pc folder every month or when I have to scroll too far to find something
Who was your favourite childhood crush?
oh uh? they were all horrible experiences and if adults behaved that way we'd probably have free forced mental healthcare we couldn't decline. WOW that was awful.
Are you a romantic?
no.
What’s your dream date?
listen I just wanna pine for people, I wouldn't have the first fucking clue what to do once I had them. I'd be like "uhhhhhhhhh do you wanna drive 28 miles away to the good meijer that actually has stuff I want?"
What are your hobbies?
I have a couple forums bookmarked where I help people find books they're trying to remember. I like to keep informed on new/seasonal fast food and junk food. crossword puzzles. uhhhh. this.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
thanks so much @cha-melodius and @stereopticons for the tags! i am very late on this but also i mostly use tumblr on mobile and they make it impossible to copy & paste these things lol
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
18! it feels like it should be less though, i swear ive only written like five
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
288,090. Let's not talk about the word count of my wip folder.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, Red, White and Royal Blue. I have a couple Top Gun wips I still hope to publish and I used to write for Schitt's Creek.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I'd Swing With You for the Fences (Schitt's Creek, E, 87k; celeb/baseball AU)
Even If it's Just Pretend (RWRB, E, ongoing; exes-to-fake-dating-to-lovers canon divergence)
You and My Hometown (Schitt's Creek, E, 38k, holiday exes/fwb AU)
I'll Keep Your Brittle Heart Warm (Schitt's Creek, E, 13k, sequel oneshot to ISWYFTF)
A Simple Complication (Schitt's Creek, E, 8k, fwb singles week AU)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yep! I am behind from a couple fics but I've been responding on my current multichap and i WILL one day catch up, even if it'll be two years late.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I haven't written a single angsty ending lol
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Currently, I'd say You and My Hometown just because it's the angstiest complete fic I have and the end goes a few years ahead in their happily ever after.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yeah sometimes. A couple backhanded compliments, too. Sometimes I wish people would just stop reading it, and if they feel like they have to finish, at least stop commenting if they're not liking it.
Also like... authors can see your public bookmarks. If you're gonna be even vaguely disparaging in there... maybe click the "private bookmark" checkbox.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I don't consider myself a smut writer, because I tend to think of smut as a separate genre, if that makes sense? I definitely write some smutty scenes, but I don't write pwp or smut for smut's sake (thank you to those of you who do, truly doing the lord's work).
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't, but there is a Descendants AU in my Schitt's WIP folder lmfao.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No, thank god.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but that would be so lovely!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but I have written as part of a group project where we each wrote a chapter: The Blouse Barn Divorce Ranch.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
It honestly is probably firstprince. I've been so in love with them for four years, the book truly changed my life.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The Schitt's Creek superhero AU. When I tell you that the plot twist I had planned for that was gonna be so good... RIP.
Also my Schitt's Creek apocalypse AU that I had written the beginning and ending for and could never get the middle right ugh.
Also also my Top Gun wrong number sexting WIP.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Working in canon elements. Which, maybe I should focus on plot and characters instead if I ever want to publish original work whoops.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Descriptions. I don't visualize when I read, so I never really bother with mundane descriptions when I write. I need to remember some readers do need those details when reading, even if I don't.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I won't do it unless it's something I can run by a native speaker.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I honestly don't even know. Maybe Buffy?
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Even If it's Just Pretend. It's been such a labor of love and some of my absolute favorite lines are in it.
But also the Schitt's Creek Penelope AU, The Rumors Are Terrible and Cruel. I love Penelope so much and weaving that in with some of my favorite characters was such a blast. I wish more people had read it lol.
Okay like I said, I'm super late to this, so no idea who has done this yet. Tagging @lilythesilly, @maxbegone, @roseapothecary and @kiwiana-writes just in case any of yall haven't done it!

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!
Thanks to @fiercynn for creating this tag and for tagging me! Lots of love for you, honey ♥
Name and whatever you want to share about yourself
Hey! My name is Alessandra (I'm Italian); you can call me Ale, Alex, Alexa, or just Giandra (my nickname); my pronouns are she/her. I'm 22 years old, I'm bisexual (no matter what your gender is, I'm gay for you) and aromantic.
Creative writing is my biggest passion. I also love reading and watching all sorts of stuff. Storytelling and character writing will always be my favorite thing to study.
I really care about social topics such as feminism, the LGBTQIA+ community, racism and poc communities cultures and issues, ableism and disabilities (right now, I'm specifically discovering the world of neurodivergences, as I suspect I may be ADHD), classism and all things related to these matters.
No judgment over fictional tastes will ever come from this account; however, you will be judged, and blocked, the moment I see you discriminate someone else, may it be over fandoms issues or real life issues.
When did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?
July 28-30th, 2022. I watched the first five episodes in one go (in one night!) and then watched the next seven in the next few days (I had to study in between, or I would have binged it in less than 48 hours).
I joined the fandom pretty much immediately? The moment I watch or read something, the first thing I do is going on Tumblr to search for content and other people's reactions. So I entered the Bad Buddy fandom as soon as (actually, even before) I finished watching the show.
Favorite ship(s)
PatPran. Pat and Pran are my 2nd favorite otp between ALL the otps I've ever had (and I've been a professional shipper since I was, like, ten years old).
I love InkPa too, though. They're so soft and amazing and I love them as individual characters. If PatPran weren't in the show, or if they had been written and/or played differently, InkPa would have stolen all my attention, to be honest.
Favorite character(s)
Pran. I don't have enough energy to elaborate right now; it couldn't be anyone else but him.
Favorite episode(s)
Episode 5 and episode 11, but to be honest I love pretty much all the episodes immensely. I guess my other faves are episode 8 and episode 4.
Favorite scene(s)
My favorite scene in the entire show is the rooftop kiss in episode 5, but my favorite PatPran moment is the balcony scene in episode 8.
One thing you would change about the show if you could
Oh, well. I would definetely have the whole Wai-curtain drop thing be handled differently. I love Wai! And I think that what he did was totally IC (and Bad Buddy being set in a universe without homophobia doesn't make it as bad as it could have been otherwise), but I think the narrative needed to be more clear about who was at fault there (definitely not Pran).
I wanted Ink and Pa to kiss. They deserved it.
I wanted tongue (or at least... Idk... open mouths?) in PatPran's beach kiss. (I wanted the scene where Pran bit Pat's lip that was filmed but that they chose not to have in the actual show; what a shame.)
I wish they didn't add the cringey, unrealistic crime subplot in ep9; like, I'm even okay with Pat getting shot, but everything that followed should have been handled differently.
What are some of your favorite fanworks made by other people?
Oh, God. This is hard.
FAN FICTIONS
Just to be fair, I'm going to link my AO3 bookmarks page, because all the stories I bookmarked are amazing and they deserve to be here. I'll try listing a proper top 5, but I'll be definitely forgetting a lot of amazing fan fictions, not to mention I'm currently trying to read all Bad Buddy's fics starting from the very bottom of the AO3 section, so my bookmark page will be updated constantly.
The Fine Line Between Hormones and Home
traffic was slow for the crash years
Dynamic
Hands on My Body
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
(+bonus) Don't worry
VIDEO EDITS on YT
My all time favorite one was tragically deleted a couple of months ago; my top3 is currently this one:
Message in a bottle
Heat Waves
Gives you Hell
(+bonus) A Thousand Years (currently not up on YT, but will be again soon, and then I will link it)
Needless to say that there are so many more I'm in awe with, but then the list wouldn't end, so I just had to choose some favorites.
VIDEO EDITS on IG
Don't blame me
The 7 things I hate about you (version 1 and version 2)
Loverboy
Just keep breathing
Atlantis
(+bonus: this is really just a love letter to the show and it hit close to my heart)
There are a couple others about them as individual characters and of InkPa that I really loved too, but to avoid listing too many I'll just link my saved posts on IG.
FANARTS
There are countless amazing fanarts of Pat and Pran, but my favorite BB artist is probably @hereforlou, because her style is just too cute to be true and her portrayal of the characters is always so IC.
(If you create fanworks) What are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?
I made five video edits focused on Bad Buddy, but I don't really like any of them, except maybe this one, which is some sort of tribute I made to the show as a whole.
I made tons of mep parts focused on Bad Buddy/which included Bad Buddy; I made more than 100 parts since I've started video editing about two years ago, and at least 60 of these have something related to BB in them; the point is that I only really like few of them. One day I will upload a collection with just my favorite parts and I'll get back here to link it.
I wrote five PatPran fan fictions in English (although I only actually like three of them) and five PatPran fan fictions in Italian. My favorite in English is I wish I were her; I'm kinda proud of this one, to be honest!
A song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)
I PatPrannize every song I listen to... literally so many songs have me screaming 'Oh my God, this song was written for them!'.
Some classic forbidden love songs like Rewrite the stars or Secret love song, one that's super sweet and I think captures PatPran's spirit a lot is also Enchanted, then you have Angel, baby which also fits them a lot, Exile is also very PatPran coded, a lot of angsty songs are made for them, in all honesty.
Idk anything else you want us to know?
Yes: I've been obsessed about Bad Buddy since the day I watched it for the first time and have never been able to recover since then. Also: I loved the OS2 special episodes.

hi, i'm @/shwarmi, and tumblr tERMINATED MY BLOG (AND ALL MY SIDE-BLOGS WITHOUT WARNING ME) and i messaged them to get it back but idk when theyll get back to me, so here i am in the meantime, hello, i guess this is my back-up account now, yes, my url is a pun on Roman numerals, anyway, sure do fucking hope i gET MY BLOG BACK JFC
edit: i've been filling out a ticket form about Account Termination once a day (here's the link to it if you ever need help finding it for yourself in the future; please don't try to help me via spamming the ticket form or anything, they explicitly ask to not involve other people uninvolved in your account AND i feel bad enough doing spam once a day already; but, anyway, yes, i recommend doing what i did and having bookmarked the aforementioned link and just copy&paste my form answers into the ticket from a seperate document, like from Google Drive or something, so you don't have to retype it everytime), and i have recieved no reply nor even a confirmation e-mail. hence the lack of updates on how my account is doing. there's no other way to contact staff, except maybe via Twitter, as their support e-mail is no longer accepting messages (hopefully bc of the following they will be in contact with you sooner than they have been with me, bc i didnt know this following tip this past week i've been filling out that ticket and noW YOU DO, you lucky bastard. do what i did with a seperate document to prep in case this is a multi-day process, but hopefully you'll get farther in less time than i have bc jfc i wasn't even getting a confirmation e-mail beforehand big McYikes)
BUT!!1! a friend of mine who was terminated last year said to attach my un-terminated e-mail's account (aka the e-mail i am using right here for @/shwarmii, and not for the terminated @/shwarmi like i had been doing liKE A DUMMY APPARENTLY) to the ticket's general "Put your e-mail here" slot and to explain within "The more details, the better" part your original e-mail attached to the terminated account in addition to the rest of your explanation. and i finally got a confirmation e-mail that my ticket has been recieved! yes, it was just an automated response but yay! finally!! progress!!1! i at least got a fUCKING CONFIRMATION E-MAIL, HAHA, VICTORY!
god i fucking wish i knew about the "just dont use your e-mail linked to your terminated account" tip a week ago jfc on a hot dog stick, my guys, finally, a confirmation e-mail, gahhh
since i now have a confirmation e-mail, i will wait five buisness days (so today is the 8th and a Monday, therefore, i'll wait until Saturday which is the 12th except i said "business days" ergoooo Monday the 14th) to e-mail them again. i hate waiting tho ughhh like, fine, i'll do what i gotta do but also ugghhhhh
↳ additional note: this update/edit was made on 8 August 2023. @/shwarmi has been terminated since 31 July 2023 (or 30 July 2023, and i just was too exhausted to make the account/post until the 31st. i forget. i was in the middle of moving and im disabled, so i was over-exerting myself big-time. i had processed that my account had been terminated at the time and just responded by taking a nap lmao rip but yeah, therefore, it's all been a blur)
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. COOL. (Narrator: It was not, in fact, "cool".) I WAITED AS PLANNED (this update is being written on 14 August 2023) AND STILL NO FOLLOW-UP TO MY CONFIRMATION TICKET. HATE THAT FOR ME.
instead of sending in a new ticket as i originally planned, i replied to their confirmation email since it said i could do that (for permalinks or whatever) so that they will HOPEFULLY get back to me without me having to be a pest about their automated systems, ugh.. (i have cropped out my email and the Ticket Number(? i assume that's what that string if letters and numbers are anyway) for privacy reasons, but here is what the confirmation e-mail looks like and how i replied. i am including this mostly to help out anyone who may be terminated in the future have an idea of what to expect and an expectation of "OH, okay, so i can reply to THIS email-address, got it" kind of nonsense or whatever. why not lmao)
i will wait another five buisness days, so that'll be on the 21st of August 2023. hopefully, i will update with good news before then (aka: they'll haVE REPLIED MAYBE PLS PLS PLS) but i guess i will have to be annoying if not
it is the 20th (so they have one more day before i have to be annoying anD I DONT WANNA BE.. pls send me ideas of how to be annoying that doesnt include the Hateful Xitter pls, my only idea is to DM them there and i dON'T WANNA) and even my gmail thinks the lack of response is fucked up lmao rip
having a Bad Brain Day streak rn due to my (abusive) dad's failing health and unpacking and all this other shit i have to do post-moving like switching my insurance and renewing my liscence and fuck all, so bothering tumblr about not replying to me is gonna take a bit more of a backseat for a minute, hold on
it.. is now August 30. brain still in gutter, but i forced myself to make a xitter/twitter (don't follow, ill delete the account after they help me or not). and it wouldnt let me dm, so i had to just @ them and post. brain so sad that i cannot even be amused rn that @/shwarmi on there was taken by a shwarma restaurant. @/tumblrsupport's Replies tab shows signs of helping people as recently as 2 hrs ago, but idk if there's another queue here. i guess we'll find out?? i just want my accounts with all their posts and shit back pls, this has taken so long to try to do 💔
edit: if you're curious, it is 3 Sept 2023 and i am still waiting (it looks like they are looking at people who @'ed them on Sept 1 rn and iM LIKE "PLSSSS, I @'ED YOU ON THE 30TH OF AUGUST PLSSSSSSS", gonna give them until the 5th before i tweet again i guess 🥺)
i am not god's strongest soldier. i continue to cry out for help, alas, i have yet to receive an answer
it does not help that the twitter account sometimes says to people: "What is your Tumblr URL? We can check and see if there was a glitch of some sort. But be advised that if it is a TOS violation situation or a bigger tech issue, we cannot assist/reply on Twitter" so that doesnt make me panic aT ALL that maybe i broke TOS without any form of a warning or knowledge that i wasnt following tumblr's terms of services regarding things like nsfw and whatnot (narrator: they were panicking)
i hate it here. staff should at least be able to tell me (via email, if not twitter) that i wont be getting my account back or whatever else instead of just saying NOTHING??????
going to do all this again (tweet support, make a whole new ticket (i still have the info saved thankfully), reply to my old email confirmation) on September 27th (an arbitrary date based on I Have A Lot Going On Rn) if they continue to not reply. if i hit the 30 images limit, guess ill be reblogging and adding even MORE to this thread jfc juST TALK TO MEE!!!1!
#me#shwarmi#never have i been so glad that i have a google doc of mcs and all the i.f. games theyre from &&& also#how much i screenshot from tumblr to tell me who i was following before lmao rip

hei. i occasionally go through your entire tumblr when i want inspiration. i came across an ask someone sent about the tumblr post on the space between a hopeless romantic and a strong independent individual, written by theparistimes. i don't know if you've found that post yet, i think the ask was pretty long ago. but i had bookmarked it on instagram, so here you go - https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuuNvNjZ6l/?hl=en
just my personal take on it, i'm aroace and i could relate more to this (atleast some of it) as coming to terms with being asexual and a hopeful aromantic. idk if that makes sense but i was happy that people can relate to this post in so many ways, because in the end it's all about hoping to find love in multiple ways without losing your self-respect or desolately. i love it so much and i wish there was a book on this concept.
have a good day :)
!! oh my god you found it! thank you so much, i’ve been looking for it for so long 💛
it’s so nice to know the way you like the post. i like it because i truly enjoy being on my own and i wouldn’t change that for anything, and the post seems to be able to put it into words.
thanks again, and have a nice day!

But genuinely? Gosh. GOSH. My fics tag is full of my work and other works and authors that I highly recommend. I recommend The Highwayman and Red Bandit AU if you like cowboy AUs, some ranchers fics, some scarian fics, this specific xisuma fic by TMB (and anything TMB does), some ethubs here, some of my good friends here, and some of my misc bookmarks that I really like.
I wish I had more public bookmarks on AO3 because god. There are so so so many talented authors in mcyt and in hermitcraft in general. PLEASE please check my rbs because I have so much more on tumblr than I do in this post!!

this particular friend isn’t on tumblr so I can squee about my excitement openly here!
So my friend’s birthday is coming up soon, and this friend and I recently did a book read together where we read Tolkien’s Beren and Luthien aloud together, alternating chapters, and it was so much fun because she is one of the few irl friends who is as much a Tolkien fan as I am, and we frequently had to pause and just admire how incredible his poetry and prose is (or, “how good he is at words” 😂) one of our absolute favorite lines from the entire book, though, was the following:
“danger he sought and death pursued, and thus escaped the fate he wooed”
(Like!!!! oh my god???? Tolkien absolute 100/10 incredible no notes)
anyway, back to the gift! so— as recently I acquired some beautiful, stunning Japanese notepaper with an artwork inspired by Genji on it—another thing on my friend’s and my TBR, and also she’s quite the shinnichi—I decided to combine those different loves into a birthday gift!
so, I wrote the two lines of the poem on the notepaper in kanji, then the translation on the back, and included the notepaper/bookmark as well as a bag of sencha tea and a note wishing her a happy birthday, in the envelope, which I also decorated with a cherry blossom wax seal and a stamp of another traditional Japanese art. It probably won’t arrive for a few days at least but that’s okay because it gives it time for postal delays and to still arrive before her birthday. In any case I’m just so excited about this cute gift and since she won’t have it for a bit I needed to let out some of the excitement in a space she won’t see 🥰🌸🍵❣️✨🧧🪭
#personal#tolkien#beren and luthien#god I love doing specialized / niche gifts for friends it is So Much Fun TM!#last year the same friend got a captain proton poster bc she’s the one I watched voyager with#anyways— I’m just so excited about how CUTE this gift is and I really really hope she likes it!!!!#also I do not speak Japanese so I kind of had to wing the translation a bit bc I had a hard time finding a Japanese b&l copy (understandably#lol#Emily#but yes so excited aaaaaaaaa
