torokatober 2024 day 25/31 - string

“Do you ever think it was fate that we met each other?”

Trowa looks up from his tablet, to where Quatre is sitting in the window seat, eyes fixed on something outside, with his elbows propped on his knees, a mug of coffee cradled in his hands.

“I suppose I’ve never really thought about it,” he answers.

“Wufei was telling me something. About the red string of fate. It’s an invisible, unbreakable thread that ties two people together,” Quatre murmurs, taking a sip from his coffee. “Linking soulmates together. To make sure they meet.”

Trowa considers this, noticing how the early morning sunlight is reflecting off of Quatre’s hair, making him glow. Considers all the things that had to happen for them to meet, big and small. All of the hurt, the loss, the longing that brought them to where they were now - sitting in their kitchen on a Thursday morning, sipping coffee and catching up on the news.

The notion of fate doesn’t seem so improbable.

“Maybe it was.”

Hey can I request something? Maybe something where Spencer comes home to find his partner passed out on the bathroom floor?? Perhaps due to a hot prolonged shower? No serious ailments just a little bump on the head and a worried spencer hehe. Thank you!!! I love your work!!

Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader Trope: Established Relationship; Fluff! Just fluff Warning: Medical inaccuracies A/N: This is a little bit shorter than my first request but still cute nonetheless. Hope you like it anon! Main masterlist

Blackout. // Spencer Reid

It was late into the night—10:30pm, to be exact, when Spencer arrived back home from a case in Dallas. The team had spent four grueling days catching the unsub and sleeping in highly questionable hygienic motels. The thought of the stale smell of cigarettes and grimy countertops made him shudder. All he wanted to do now was take a deep shower, kiss and cuddle with you, and crash into a deep sleep. 

He entered the threshold quietly, knowing your on-call schedule at the hospital for the whole month was taxing. He expected you to be passed out on the bed—dreaming of sunshine and rainbows but imagine his surprise when he noted the bathroom light open and the door slightly ajar. 

“Y/N, sweetheart, I’m home,” he called out. 

A muffled groan answered his call. 

That alarmed him enough to drop his satchel and coat on the floor, feet clad in mismatched socks sliding across the wooden floor. The sight of you sitting on the bathroom floor, back against the wall, stopped his heart from beating—thirty second full stop—before it started beating again at twice the normal speed. 

“Y/N. Are you alright—“ he bent down to peer into your fluttering eyelids. “—did you hit your head? Is your vision blurry? What—” 

You raised your hand to stop his spiraling. “I felt faint from the heat, Spence. That’s all.”

His eyes widened in alarm as he tried to spot any external injuries. “Did you faint? Are you sure you didn’t hit your head?”

You shook your head, causing him to gasp with worry. 

“Don’t shake your head! Sudden movement can stretch and further damage brain tissues—we should, we should get you to the hospital!” His voice cracking at the end.

“No hospital, I’m alright Spence. I sat down when I felt dizzy so no head injury to worry about,” you smiled, taking in your boyfriend’s fussy hands, touching your face and head, and his face showcasing a variety of looks, all painting worry. “Plus, I’m a doctor. Pretty sure, I know what I’m talking about.” 

He sighed. “I’m a doctor, too, and your boyfriend, I have every right to worry.” Wrapping his arms around your waist, he brought you up to a stand. “Lean on me, let’s get you to bed.”

You hobbled to bed where Spencer fussed to situate you in. Having spent all your working hours doing the opposite, it was amazing to be the receiving end—especially from someone as dedicated and caring as Spencer. 

He rushed to bring you a cup of water. “Drink slowly. It’s possible that you’ve been dehydrated and it was exacerbated with your hot shower. Did you drink enough water today, Y/N?” 

“Yes, Dr. Reid. I drank plenty of water during my breaks,” you teased. 

“I sense you’re starting to feel better. The sarcasm is back,” he jested with a smile before replacing it with a look of seriousness. “I know you like your hot showers but do you think you could lower the temperature to prevent the fainting spells from happening again? I worry about you, especially when I’m out on a case. A study found that hot water increased heart rates by 32% and blood flow by 44%, which isn’t bad in itself but combined with your fatigue and resistance to drink lots of water, there’s a higher possibility of you fainting again and again.” 

You caressed his cheek before nodding your head. “Alright, I will, Spence. Y’know all this worrying for me will give you premature grey hair and that—“ ruffling his wavy locks “—would be a travesty.” 

He laughed, giving you a peck before stepping out of his work clothes. “I’ll take a quick shower, be right back and please, stay where you are.”

You watched as he entered the bathroom, leaving the door open just in case you’d call and he’d come running. Sliding down under the covers, you felt your exhaustion pulling you under to a state of in between reality and dreamland. 

Your last coherent memory was Spencer sliding next to you, cuddling you to his chest, giving you a kiss good night, and his sweet murmurs of ‘I love you.’

Got a Ghostwire request for ya! A cute first meeting between Akito and female reader's pet Akito inu! Like the pupper get's it leash tangled around Akito and female reader, causing them to fall on eachother

A/n: This is so cute! And I’m totally using a Shiba in the game that Akito saves.

Shiba’s thoughts in italics

‘That scent! It’s him!’

“Mochi what has gotten into you!”

You clutched the leash of your pure white Shiba’s leash, you weren’t quite sure what had gotten into him. One moment you were enjoying your walk and the next thing you new your dog was pulling you through the park.

‘Let’s go Buddy! You’re to slow! Let’s go before he leaves.’

Biting your lip you tightened your grip on the leash spotting a figure standing in the middle of the park, you felt an odd sense of familiarity from the figure, like you’ve met him before. Perhaps you went to the same high school.?

“Mochi!”

The Shiba let out a happy yip as the dog barreled towards the man, you stumbled forward as your pet circled both your legs. A gasp leaving both your lips as you fell forward, the young man taken the brunt of the fall, his arms hesitantly on your lower back.

“This was not how I expected my day to go.” Akito muttered though he felt his cheeks burn as your body pressed into his.

“I-I am sorry! I…I didn’t mean…Mochi!!! He’s never.” You stuttered out trying to explain yourself yet craning your neck you glanced over spotting your Shiba looking awfully smug, if a dog could even look smug.

‘He’s the perfect mate!’ The Shiba let out bark, it’s paws digging at the dirt.

“H-hey you’re the dog I…”Trailing off, Akito snapped his mouth shut, it’s not like he could just blurt out he’s saved this dog countless times with its odd fixation on keeping Oni’s safe.

Shaking his head he loosened the leash around his your legs as he gave you a small smile helping you stand. “Um I’m Akito….I know this is probably…a little strange but would you like to grab lunch with me…I mean you don’t have too of course, because Im just some random id-.”

‘Say yes! Say yes! He’s a great guy!’

Giving Akito a smile glanced at your Shiba that was now jumping up and down. A laughing escaped your lips as you grasped Akito’s hand. “I’d love too.”

[seaofolives]

so this is a really random poll (and my first one on this blog!) but it figures now that I've come up with a "good name" I'd be interested to try:

the abstract of the poll/challenge/idea:

1. I'm calling it "torokatober" from トロカト/torokato. no need to apply strict top/bottom dynamics, of course.

2. I do this challenge every year where I write drabbles every day of october for a particular character/ship. this time, 3x4 is my subject of choice

3. anyone who wants to join won't have to be limited by drabbles! that's just me. others can do whatever they want like longer or shorter fics, art, cosplay, model kits, gif sets, amvs, playlists, etc etc etc

4. if the poll gets good traction and interest, I can open a prompt suggestion form just so I won't have to come up with all the prompts myself 😂 but if the poll doesn't get any traction/we don't get enough prompts to fit 31 days, I can just fill it up on my own, dw XD

6. probably gonna use the hashtags #torokatober2024 and #トロカト１０月２０２４年 for collecting works. so even if no one's interested, I'll post the prompts and my own works there 😂

5. this is going to be strictly diy—no mod accounts, no ao3/sqwa collections, zero promotions or pressure, no strict rules, whatsoever. if you answered you'd love to participate but suddenly can't, there's no guilt or penalty. any kind of pairing that involves these two are welcome, any rating or restrictions welcome, etc

7. poll is up for a week! someone also remind me to submit this thing to the central gw accounts bc I'm queueing up this post and don't always check tumblr 😂

8. last random ask! do these two have an "official" emoji pair??? like 🎭🎻? 🤡🎻? 🪈🎻?? 🤸🤺 or 🎪🏜️ or just 3️⃣4️⃣???? or am I just being too much of a feller-kids lmao but I like shippy emojis ok (or should I do another poll)

[lifeaftermeteor]

I would swear there was a gundam tumblr floating around here years ago that was deep into the different asthetics of the colonies. Like mood boards and sketches. It also had balls to the wall world-building, took the bare bones of canon and rewrote it, in snippets and drabbles, no actual fic to speak of. Or maybe just one or two chapters of a planned long fic.

I remember one bit of the concept was' what if the colonys were actually behind the gundam program and it wasn't just mad scientists doing it for the vine'. So the pilots were older and actually had some grasp of politics and their own actions.

I remember I loved it and I can't find it. Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

We have a lot of folks who match that description in the GW Fandom - we actually had a full fanzine dedicated to it back in 2019.

Can you tell us a bit more about the characters? The particular bit about the colonies vs the scientists acting alone could go a couple different ways. On the top of mind....

@persisting with "Deus Ex"

@alexecinz with a "What If" alternate post-EW

@amyole 's "Mars Fic"

@the-ephemeral-bhg "Orouboros"

my own "Life After Meteor"

....and many more. Any more details you can share? Anyone else have ideas?

torokatober 2024 day 23/31 - family

He has a family.

The weight of it settles into his soul, warms him from the inside out. He’s spent his entire life forming makeshift families, pretending that he’d found where he belonged. That he’d found home. And while there were bits and pieces here and there, moments of belonging, of happiness, nothing compared to this. This knowing.

Cathy was his sister; their long-standing suspicions confirmed by a DNA test. He knows his name. He knows who his parents were. How they died. He has a birthday. Old family mementos that Cathy had managed to salvage and protect for all of these years. A resemblance to his father. His mother’s cookbook.

So many tiny, seemingly inconsequential things that he hadn’t had before.

And now he heads home, as Triton Bloom, born November 8th, AC179. Home to the family he’d found along the way, to the man with whom he’d secured his heart for safekeeping. He can already see it, the way Quatre's face will shine with joy for him once he tells him the news.

During the war, he’d wondered about the whereabouts of happiness. Now, he thinks he’s found it.

Writing is gonna slow down a lot for a bit while my depression gets sorted out. I have about 3 fics half way done for the next installments (taking his beauty, flawed hope, and falling for frogs) but i need to focus on finishing this GW assignment. I am even putting off my TFW adjustments because i just cant. Probably will still be yelling into the void here as the emotions get to big. Maybe the occasional vent drabble with my comfort chars as things come up. But right now im just tired

Shipper Tag Game

Tagged by @lucientelrunya Thank you friend!

What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?

Oh gosh it's been so long since I was a teenager. And there have been so many. It's less that I don't care and more that just, the obsession has faded and I don't actively ship them any more. Most of my old ships, I do still like, and under the right circumstances, I might be able to spark an interest again. Let's see, some things I was really into as a teenager...Buffy/Angel...Kunzite/Zoicite (Sailor Moon)...Zechs/Noin (Gundam Wing)...probably more, but those are the ones that stick out as being like super-ships for me.

2. Which ship would you consider your first one?

Mulder/Scully. I shipped them before I even knew what shipping was.

3. Your first fanfic was about which couple?

That I wrote? And actually published somewhere? ExR Les Mis fic.

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?

Not really but it was probably something from Sailor Moon.

5. Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?

Nah, ship and let ship.

6. Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?

I have had them before and I have them now. In the interest of not hating on things I know other people like, I won't name them.

7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

I read a Gong Shangjue/Gong Yuanzhi drabble while I was scrolling on tumblr yesterday. It's not really one of my current ships but it was a good little drabble!

8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?

RiSang my beloved!

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

I've been thinking about this question since I read through @lucientelrunya's answers, because I KNOW I had one but now I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Like these two people were so perfect for each other and it didn't happen and I remember being livid about it, but I guess I've since blocked it from my memory.

Also, not really "not getting together" but I'm mad that John Grey/Percy Wainright didn't get BACK together in Outlander. :|

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

Nothing I can think of off the top of my head.

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

I guess some of my ships from The Fandom Which Must Not Be Named would fit. Author sucks, but I do still like the characters/ship.

12. What is your favorite crack ship?

Changheng/Dongfang Xunfeng (LBFAD). Don't ask. I think I'm the only one here. It came to me in a dream once and now I kind of ship it.

13. What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?

Uhhhh...I'd say probably Zechs/Noin from Gundam Wing. I read a LOT of GW fanfic back in the day. Like. A Lot. Like everything that existed on ff.n with that pairing. Because we didn't have AO3 back then. Weilan (Guardian) is probably a close second.

14. What do most of your ships usually have in common?

ANGST. Seriously I'm not sure what it is but I have had a ton of immortal/mortal ships, which will, in most cases, inevitably end in tears.

15. What you absolutely hate in a ship?

Lack of communication. The number of times I've actually yelled at my screen because of relationship drama that could have easily been avoided by having one simple conversation is...too high to count.

I tag: @merinnan @amidalogicdive @hils79 aand whoever else wants to play.

Author Interview

Tagged by the illustrious @a-shakespearean-in-paris

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

125 (my god, so many)

2. what’s your total AO3 word count?

507,692

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Used to write for Dragon Ball Z and Red Dead Redemption 2. Now I just write for Baldur's Gate 3.

4. what are your top five fics by kudos?

One and Only (RDR2)

Getting Into Character (RDR2)

Something New (RDR2)

Know Your Place (RDR2)

Your Hearth Is My Home (BG3)

5. do you respond to comments?

Yeah, I try to respond to most of them, although sometimes when it's just one word, I'm not sure what to say, haha.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably Midnight Rendezvous, and that one isn't even that angsty because I wrote a sequel to give Arthur x Reader a happy ending, haha.

7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The majority of my fics have a happy ending (wink wink nudge nudge). But seriously, which would I say has the absolute happiest? Hmmm... Probably The Light That You Shine, which is my only John Marston x Reader fic, strangely enough. I think I put the characters through some shit and they come out very happy at the end.

8. do you get hate on fics?

Not that I'm aware of?

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Do I write smut? HAH. I write nothing BUT smut, my dear. Well, with a few exceptions. As for what kind of smut? Not sure how to answer that. I write between canon characters and between canon character & reader, and I've got some OC x OC stuff too. Or is the question more like what genre of smut? I've probably written most kinds (soft & gentle, hard & rough, and everything in between).

10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Well. I could lie and say I don't. But unfortunately in high school I wrote a DBZ-Sailor Moon-YYH crossover, and I regret its existence.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of...

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! But if someone wanted to do it, they have my blessing!

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, with the wonderful @shootybangbang

14. what’s your all-time favourite ship?

Hmmmm.... All-time, you say. I'd have to say... probably Vegeta x Bulma. Even after all this time.

15. what’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a OC x Arthur fic that I really liked making the story for, but it'll forever live as a few drabbles cobbled together. Oh Grace, you'll never get a full fic and I'm sorry.

16. what are your writing strengths?

I've been told that I know when to summarize plot points so that the story doesn't drag on for too long. Also I've been told that my smut writing is some of the best, for its clarity and hotness. I'll accept that compliment, haha!

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Not descriptive enough at times. The most comments I get on my Google docs from my friends are "elaborate more on this point". Totally fair! And personally, I think I have the writer's equivalent of 'same face syndrome' that some artists have. Like my "reader" character tends to be pretty same-y through a lot of my Arthur x Reader fics...

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

If a character is using another language, I try to make sure that there is a reason for it, that it isn't just for flair. For example, if I have a character blurt something out in another language suddenly, then it means they've been thrown off guard and are going back to their first language. Or if two characters are speaking another language together, then they're either hiding something from others, or they grew up that way and are falling back to old habits.

19. first fandom you wrote for?

Oof, I had to go back to some archived files to figure this out. Probably Yu Yu Hakusho, back in 1999, although I suspect I had some older fics in the Gundam Wing fandom, but I don't have any digital evidence of them, I think they were on a GW Mailing List from Yahoo, of all places.

20. favourite fic you’ve written?

The one I'm writing right now :D (Your Heart is My Home)

Hi all!

This is my blog dedicated to my writing and updates etc.

I post on ao3 weekly; but the fandom, length, theme and content all varies.

I see people on here write little imagines/drabbles based on requests and I would love to flex my creative muscles and get into that. I’m yet to come across a form of writing I don’t enjoy! Stories (of all lengths), articles, essays, poems, anything at all.

I’m super open minded and will write almost anything, no ship is too crazy. I will never write sexual or romanticised age play, and sorry but I just don’t write y/n or reader insert. All other requests please welcome!

I have a grace-williams-xo dedicated to my fandom ramblings and screams.

All fandoms I have written, or are writing, are in the tags. If you see a fandom on my other page that I haven’t written yet, I may yet give it a go—so don’t be shy.

I just posted some of my (quite) old GW drabbles on AO3 and was immediately hit with an "AI has been detected" comment.

Oh really? I didn't know AI generated text was a thing in 2008. GTFO.
