“Right.” He wipes his nose unnecessarily with an over-long sleeve. “So, Alice texted me.”

“Ugh.”

“Not ugh.” He tugs at her sleeve and she looks at him side-long, watches the concerned little crease on his brow. He had the same one as a five year old. So did Nicky. “You’re in a robe.”

“All witches wear robes.”

“With duckies?” His own lips twitch.

“Shut up,” she grouses.

“Like. So many duckies, Agatha.”

Fucking Lilia and her stupid fetid robe collection. She’s going to burn this cannoli and spread its entrails on her bed. “Your point, Teenager?”

HELLO??? somehow i missed that the mumbroom fic you dedicated to me existed for a full 4 months and 9 days??

i checked my gifts today by accident because of a question someone had about gifts and gift exchange fics and i was like, w h a t 👀👀👀👀👀 and honestly i am not a worthy recipient of such a lovely fic! but i am SO grateful and honoured!!

apologies for the rabid monster i became in your comments and also for somehow not noticing this was happening 😭

HI OMG!!! I’m so glad you liked it - I’ve just been reading your comments and I have honestly never smiled harder in my life 😭 the fact that I admire you as an author so so much, and you are someone who loves and understands Hecate as a character an incredible amount… to know that you enjoy the way I’ve written her is just so!!!! Honestly your comments & reactions mean so much to me I can’t stop fucking giggling and smiling! Your comments are fantastic, and I love that you noticed & enjoyed the little details i added in to make it clear Hecate is autistic !!! because her being visibly autistic is really important to me, and idk I just feel like it was one of the things I was really hoping to accomplish with the fic when I set out to write it.

Anyways I love your stories and I’m so so glad I can write this gift for you to enjoy after all this time of me enjoying your work💕 THANK YOU AGAIN BTW FOR YOUR LOVELY LOVELY COMMENTS they really have made my entire week, like, my face hurts from how much smiling I’m doing right now ! 😭💕💕💕💕

i had these custom tww glasses/lens/screen cloths made! i didn’t balance the colours quite right on my 80s hecate art, so hecate looks like a bit of a ghost. but the house badges one came out really cute!

jaguar morgana chapter 4!!!!!!

i wrote approximately half of this post-surgery (top surgery revision, which went reasonably okay but still triggering for me as a person with surgery phobia)

maybe she's legible. maybe it's a fugue state

unrelated awkward hecate gif as a treat

[heathtrash]

in completely unrelated news here's a link to the latest chapter of my lampbroom fic

Currently Stingray and Thunderbirds. and worst witch. its always worst witch

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Jabberjay-ded (128 vs 4 comments lol) Little Wizard, The Broken Hand mirror, Mildred's Monstrous Misadventures, (ah yeah witching kind!) and I saw Seven Idiots.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Fanfic.net dosnt let me reply any more??? but I do try to. even if its just a key smash and a thankyou. or if its an emoji spam i emoji spam back. I love those.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hm. The closest ones I could think of are Death's acquaintance and In grief we bake. I don't tend to do agnsty endings. even the sad ish ones are kind hopeful.

EDIT: JABBERYJAYED! I forgot!? litreally a hunger games fic ends up in devistation?? fool.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I couldnt narrow it down so top 2: I saw 7 Dogs and Christmas Cards

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Onlya few times in the past. two of those times were Worst witch ship trolls and just deleted them. one was my fault, i got uppity with an 'UPDATE NOW' comment and user just went a few my other fics being rude. againn deleted.

9. Do you write smut?

write yes. post no. (not yet-!) :o

10. Do you write crossovers?

yes. Ive have a good half a dozen under my belt and a couple in the works.

Not that I know of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

angain no not that i know of.

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

No but I would count @teapotteringabout @kiwi-collideoscope and Princess Sammi as , the amount i've bouced ideas about with them.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Mary Poppins and Bert. the OTP before i knew what the internet was.

Froot, SEASICK and Cherrytree Carol. plus a bunch of WW ones. I keep picking them up but i feel like they might be left on the shelf a little longer.

Corpse Bride (2005). a sad little fic for a le sad victor van dort.

Miss Honey for @heathtrash bc their honeybroom fic changed my life

(I may or may not be sketching scenes from it - we’ll see if I ever finish them)

[heathtrash]

a new hicsqueak fic for you all on my birthday!!!

With her confinement just lifted, Hecate Hardbroom has been invited to the Magic Council's Summer Gala to celebrate her services to the school. After a traumatic reunion with someone best left in the past, she finds that her faithful familiar Morgana has undergone a transformation. Can Morgana in her new form and Hecate's old flame, Pippa Pentangle, help her to recover?

basically this fic is uh,,,

✨ what do you get if morgana transforms from a little cat into a BIG CAT and also pippa is there ✨

first three chapters are up (was meant to be a one-shot but see how well that went) and i'll be working on the remaining 2? 3? soon!

if you read, please consider taking the time to comment! it would be the most amazing birthday gift to me. i don't have any plans this year for my birthday and knowing that i might have made someone feel as unhinged as i did while writing this would be so special :')

[bincliff]

i recently took part in the @paternosterdrabbleexchange and wrote 18 triple drabbles! collected here in a series for reading ease. they're in a vague order but are by no means in the same universe or anything

i've never written for this ship or fandom before, so it was really fun to get to explore different concepts with them without consequences (i.e. having to write a fic of some length)

i also started off the challenge having listened to only a few of the audios but by halfway through the challenge, had finished them all in my hyperfixation. that said, i think almost none of them directly reference audio stuff. so if you're only aware of the victorian wives through doctor who, then you pretty much have everything you need to understand them 😅

honouring the victorian setting was such a delight! there was an amount of research that went into almost every drabble to make sure everything was era-appropriate (except the two at the end that are AU and not victorian)!
