F for remortal, M, N, and O? If that's not too many questions
there is NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY QUESTIONS
F: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with remortal au?
there actually is, yes! for a while it consisted of a grand total of 3 songs (how far we've come by matchbox twenty, blood on my name by the brothers bright, and way down we go by kaleo) but now it is much longer with a grand total of 10 songs. the remortal playlist is fucking exclusive, my dudes. the outer wilds soundtrack takes up two whole places.
(the rest of the playlist: get up by mother mother, end times and 14.3 billion years from the outer wilds soundtrack, the devil went down to georgia by the charlie daniels band, ain't no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant, let me live / let me die by des rocs, and a good song never dies by saint motel)
M: Whatâs the weirdest AU scenario youâve ever come up with? Â Did it turn into a story?
mmm, weirdest might need a definition here. most absurd/abstract? most out-of-the-box? most deviant from canon? most, just, generally unhinged? god, i've actually gotta look through my old docs here. i do like the multiple ghost!tony aus i've got deep in the gdocs. oh, and the thing i had from that dream where it was heavily implied that maria used an infinity stone and possibly also necromancy to raise baby tony from the dead.
actually, no, yeah, the above 100% the winner here. [link to all i've posted about it here, and holy shit i had to spend some time digging through my post archive for this. goddamn.]
unfortunately resurrection au never spawned a full fic but like. still fun.
N: Any fic ideas brewing that youâd care to share?
i honestly dont really have many things new right now that i haven't posted about at some point, just bc i've been busy/stressed and haven't really. done anything new.
O: What are your thoughts on people writing fanfic of your fanfic?
i mean, i can't stop you. please credit, and i'd love to see the final result. there's some things that i have Emotions re: continuations n things but since those examples are all fairly specific i'm gonna say go for it!

Hereâs another ask game for ya! Assign your moots as seventeen comeback aesthetics (can include solos, OSTs, collabs, Japanese comebacks, etc) and say why you associate them with that aesthetic! Some can overlap too!
ooo okay.. iâm really bad at these kinds of things but iâll try my best â€ïž i would have loved to do all my mutuals but my brain isnât strong enough for everyone so iâm so sorry ahead of time if i didnât get you!! đ
edit: also i just realized this said COMEBACK aesthetics but i just did svt. well. anything lmao
@s0ftbb as clap:Â c just gives me such wonderfully colorful and bright vibes (esp with the use of the colored text lmao it always adds such a nice extra flair to all ur posts <3) and also all her creations and videos give me such HAPPY and LETâS HAVE A GOOD TIME vibes u know what i mean đ„ș and also just that splash of insanity that we all love <3 in particular iâm thinking of that montage scene near the end where thereâs like confetti flying everywhere and itâs in slow-mo and stuff lmao
@rosevlolets as fallin flower: alexis gives me super soft and refined and of course flowery vibes! i think it also helps that all her tags for the svt members are literally flowers so it always feels like a cherry blossom breeze every time i see her on the dash or in my notifs <3 (oh gosh i hope that wasnât TOO cheesy lmao) hehe but yeah i always think flowers when it comes to alexis which is perfect for fallinâ flower
@scoupsy as fear + fearless being the sister song: not because dreamy is intimidating or anything LMAO but i think this association immediately came to mind because of her astounding and beautiful graphics, i feel like they match the fear aesthetic super well. thereâs like kind of a dark and elegant atmosphere i always associate with her gfx and in turn her but in like that really beautiful way <3 but ALSO fearless comes in bc i find dreamyâs personality super, well, fearless LMAO and just badass. i really love how she doesnât hesitate to speak up for herself â€ïž
@jonghan as (never-ending) aju nice: GO CRAZY GO STUPID GO WILD LOSE YOUâRE FUCKING SHIT AS WE GO WILD EVEN MORE!! i think yza perfectly encapsulates the never-ending aju nice stage as well as all the crazy antics that come along with it especially as of late LMAO. and again i tend to associate peopleâs content with their i guess. being? lmao but aju nice is equally as colorful and vibrant as her gifs PLUS sheâs so prolific (e.g. never-ending but in the best way) like god damn idk how you keep up with it all afjksldjf
@soonhoonsolâ as healing: idk man chey just gives me very... lmao HEALING vibes :D seeing you on the dash and in my notifs fills me with this very feel-good âahhh itâs chey!!!â and upbeat feeling hehe <3 and you almost always have such nice tags as well that i read them sometimes and iâm like đ„șđ„șđ„ș my soul = cleansed. but thereâs also this sense of like... i hope this is for the long run you know? LMAO by that what i mean is the whole thing of healing is like DONâT stop this healing right basically i hope you continue to bless the dash for a long time whether it be with your creations or simply good vibes <3
@gotseventeensâ as change up: i donât really have a reason for this other than vibes? LMAO iâm using vibes all over the place but yeah like for some reason the vibe i get from belle reminds me of the bold colors and suave/cool nature of the change up mv hehe â€ïž i think itâs because belleâs vibes also strike me with this air of confidence that is still kind of chill/lowkey about it lmaooo like YEAH you totally got this ;D
@tzhao12 as 2019 TTT (camping ver.) but specifically when theyâre talking about their feelings at the end: because what speaks better about everlasting friendships than the friend iâve been blessed with for what. is it 12 years now. sheâs probably not even gonna see this for like 3 months bc unlike me she escaped tumblr. anyways tiff iâd die for you canât wait for yâall to jumpscare me this thursday <3 iâm gonna cry iâm serious <3
@vernons as any vocal unit song: oona gives me very soft and gentle vibes which is a lot of what i get from most of vocal unitâs songs! if i had to pick exactly one maybe we gonna make it shine but thatâs probably just influenced by me having listened to it recently hehe <3 also a lot of the nature aesthetics and makeup looks i see you post on your main blog feel like they fit in as the visual side of the aesthetic the vocal unit songs give me if that makes any sense??? LMAO
@heartgyus as snap shoot, + the creative process behind it: so in my heart rhys is like a leading mingyu stan here so naturally i had to pick something with mingyuâs entire heart and spirit behind it LMAO but in general rhys vibe and aesthetic gives me SUPER happy/fluffy upbeat like âwhoo hoo!â vibes??? afdjklajf a little silly a lot of cute and a lot of fun :D Â
@haniehae as pinwheel: for some reason when i think of anna i get this sense of a breath of fresh air??? idek why this is another one i canât really explain hahaha but yeah pinwheel is what immediately came to mind! i think also because when i see a lot of your moodboards pinwheel kind of naturally comes as like the backtrack for a lot of them??? i think itâs something about the instrumentals of the song. anna just overall also gives me very relaxing vibes whenever i see her on the dash hehe <3
@xuseokgyuâ as when they were filming the 2019 gose intro: okay this is really specific but for some reason thatâs what came to mind afjkadslj MY REASONING is that belle just gives me the vibes of being like. super enthusiastic and supportive about EVERYTHING whether it be her own work or the work others are doing!!! also lowkey i get parental vibes from her LMAO so it somehow reminds me of when they were in the house and seungkwan was like âOKAY KIDS... GATHER AROUND...â lmao but in general the whole energy of that entire thing where they were like âokay hereâs this thing weâre gonna DO ITâ but in a enthusiastic/happy way is why i picked this jfaksldf
@17hateblog as seventeenâs humor: kay and i donât really talk but she consistently has the funniest fucking tags ever known to mankind. it might not specifically be the same as the humor seventeen show us in, say, gose, but the way they both make me die laughing is the same <3 it doesnât even matter what the post is everything she puts on her blog is an adventure and i am fucking here for it. AND sheâs a jun stan so whatâs not to love <3
@vixenjun as light a flame: because kaya and her blog literally embody sexiness + junhui in that choreo....... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything. i also really feel like her aes kind of fits that dark mysterious too-good-for-you beauty vibe that i also get from light a flame lmao (but underneath that kaya is obviously a sweetheart <3)
@happysmilebtr as hitorijanai: anna is just like. genuinely one of the most supportive and happy vibing people iâve met on here? lmao and i feel bad bc i basically have now left you on read KJFDLAJDS but all our dms have been so much fun like i love just talking about anything <333 but yeah the way youâre so open and loving and supportive 100% gives me hitorijanai vibes and the message behind it :D
#asks#ask game#kaleidoscope-of-lillies#i know i didn't get everyone and that's why i struggle so much on these kinds of things bc i feel bad hhhhh

"Adjusting Expectations" Post
This submission received a lot of responses and 120 notes, so I thought I would compile the comments here.
Anonymous said:
Adjusting expectations anon was so good. If their timetables are right and we do just need to be patient a little longer, can Kaylor please send us a sign? I guess it would be too loud to slip "adjusting expectations" into social media posts, but maybe they could both do something with playing cards? To show they are card sharks right now but they'll find their way home eventually? That would reassure people. And it would fly under the radar.
casuallycruel131313 said:
I agree with a lot of this but I think the main issue right now is that moral and ethical lines have been crossed and there's no coming back from that. In these post-Trumpian insurrectionist times it's unfathomable that they could continue the Kushner narrative I no longer care if or when they come out, I enjoy the music and I'm happy to observe from a distance because I'm interested from a PR/marketing point of view but my opinion of T &K as people has changed irrevocably and I don't see how they can clean the tarnish off.
@theprologues said:
Agree with most of not all if this but I would like to say as a Kaylor the toe Grammy stunt didnât phase me. I was not crushed by that by any means. I just shrugged and honestly expected it. It was the attributing Betty and exile to him during the LPSS in November that bummed me out and really made me go...really?
rockcrow20 said:
Have to say I also agree with most of this.
I no longer have any expectations on anything changing any time soon and have not been surprised by the recent events its to be expected after everything over the years really
Nothing has really changed (bearding narrative wise) since I fell down the rabbit hole in 2017 (except that great night in nashville 2018 rep)
Honestly I can't say I am as invested anymore about them ever coming out as I was.
I think the wb/Joe thing was the last moment for me and the continual kushner connection just troubles me like many others.
I mean my kaylor motto for awhile now has been hope for the best but expect disappointment.
Low expectations = limited feelings of disappointment.
original-cypher said:
@rockcrow20 the WB was a breaking point for so many. You are absolutely right. There are just so ma'y contradictions that feel like absolute whiplash. (I know I seem to have been the only one experiencing that with Gorgeous but... that was a big one for me, too) But like. You go on a whole PR campaign about speaking up and standing up for yourself. You say you're capable and tired of men trying to take ownership of your success and profit off of your name. And you credit you literal damn work to a bloke? Bitch, 'consistency'? Look it up. It grossed me out. It would have felt iffy if I believed they were real. But since I wasn't born yesterday it just sent me the message "this is how far I'm willing to sacrifice my principles to not be queer".
rockcrow20 said:
@original-cypher exactly why it bothered me and I know alot us so much. Such mixed messaging of being a strong fighting for your rights female and then oh hey let me attribute some of my best work to my pr boyfriend and the pr pics where she is walking behind all the time like đ The Betty thing that was big one for me too!
rainbowdaisy13 said:
This write up and the comments are spot on. I donât have much to add other than like @original-cypher said, Miss Americana is tainted for me now and seems like at the very least, it was released too soon in the plan. I get we think they have had to pivot but man, that doc, and including her literally saying âgay rights make me meâ at the end was such a false flag. To see her wax poetic about not taking shit from men anymore and then see her do the same old hetero weak woman song and dance routine with the WB shit for albums that are of her genius mind has been so disappointing. I still believe Kaylor is real and I hope they get a chance to show the world that. Karlie posting that cardigan pic in the woods before the folklore release cemented for me they are still together. Adding a baby makes me feel all kind of weird ethical things but I hope I live long enough to see it play out and wear my I Told You So shirt đ
@kellykaylor said:
agree with your post... I dont care about toe stunts but what really pissed me of was hetwashing betty đ€ź! beautiful post tho anon!!
roameroo said:
Totally agree with these all comments especially the strong messaging of MA only to turn around & pull that WB = my "bf" crap. I was disheartened by her mentioning him at the Grammy's only bc he's getting credit for sh*t he doesn't/didn't do. That is what irks me the most about this, giving him credit for her life's work.
always-the-last-word said:
Can I throw my pennies in the pool ?? Taylor will put out the big three first Fearless, RED then 1989 that should bring us to about August. This is where the excitement should begin. If Taylor preps and waits for National Coming Out day it's a no lose for her. Lover her money making machine will go through the roof !! If things go bad or good in the public eye she'll have REPUTATION Taylor's Version ready to release. It will be epic and she'll own it and be FREE.
@karlie-what-you-want said:
always-the-last-word I like this take a lot! I try not to be too optimistic but if she wanted to come out sooner rather than later, I think this plan would satisfy both business and PR needs (at least on Taylorâs end). Remains to be seen how Tay will help Karlie dig her way out of the mess they made together regarding the K*shners.
always-the-last-word said:
Always remember that Taylor has a PLAN. Some of her plans are year's old (easter eggs). Taylor's one and only LOVE is her music, everything else comes second. If KK wants to change and be with her full time she'll make moves around the same time frame. That's if she chooses to. In any event Tay will be open and own all her music. I've seen this film before and WE might not like the ending.
chosetherose said:
Iâve been going back and forth for a day trying to figure out what I wanted to say when I reblogged this post. Iâm tired. Iâm frustrated. I understand Iâm owed nothing by Taylor or Karlie. I understand that circumstances out of their control have caused the girls to pivot over and over again.
But, the root of my frustration in the past months stems not from me battling with the trivial (e.g. pap walks, etc.) but with my personal principles. I fiercely believe credit should be given where it is earned and I uphold this in my career regularly. To see Taylor crediting Toe with her art was deeply disappointing. Watch the 1989 and folklore acceptance speeches back to back and tell me it doesnât upset you. I believe the K******s have blood on their hands and that their actions during the pandemic have killed people. To see Karlie still associating with one of them disgusts me.
I canât help but think back in frustration - Would you really fall from grace to touch her face? (And in the brilliant words of @9w1ft) But would you die for her in public? I go back and forth feeling like questions like this arenât fair at all and thinking they are sort of valid. At this point, it sort of feels like Taylor would only fall from grace for her lover if all the stars and facets of her life aligned perfectly. But perfection like this does not happen. Such is life. So why am I here?
I do question why Spade left certain messages in their final days. I am still holding hope a fervent revolution exonerates everyone. I so desperately want Taylor to regain control of her masters or re-records. Maybe this is the plan they thought was best with multiple goals in mind (re-records, having a family, coming out of the closet one day etc). Iâm trying to remain patient because Spade told us to trust her endless yearning. But WOW it is asking a lot of us at this point.

Despite being a pragmatist kaylor and oftentimes getting into arguments with fellow optimistic kaylors (owner of this blog included) I think it's quite unfair -at this point- to say to the optimists who have patiently sat through the worst kind of stunts with the most terrible kind of people (yes I'm talking about the Kushner's friend group too) that they should have seen it coming. Besides, if it weren't for the optimists we the cynicals would have burned this fandom down by now.
Anonymous said:
Even if we ignore that an insurrection happened partially because of the family karlie's still working for and getting paid from, she literally said before the pregnancy debacle unfolded that j*sh was her last client while talking about cutting hair and doing a cutting gesture. How should we have interpreted that? đ€That a year later she would be more stuck with the Kushners than ever? We don't wake up on day and decide to have unrealistic expectations. She feeds into them. đ
Anonymous said:
I have no expectation of Taylor coming out anymore. Zero. None. I have no expectation of her dropping Toe or even of Kaylor publicly reuniting. It doesn't even matter that much anymore. But I - do - expect 1 thing. Karlie to drop and completely dissociate herself from the Kushners and this has nothing to do with kaylor. It was everything to do with me being unable to support a person who willfully assists (now using her baby too) and receives money from a family that has made so many suffer.
Anonymous said:
A quick word from an ex-kaylor (who will never become an anti). A year ago, when the Trumps were still in power and untouchable and there was no baby, I was excusing and turning a blind eye to many things Karlie did for the K*shners. Even that dinner in September. I had also made peace with the truth never being revealed. But a year later the Trumps are gone, Karlie is still on full stunting mode now with a baby in the mix, a baby that is already being used by the Kushners, and I've really run out of excuses. Now the only thing that could possibly keep me on board is if I knew there was a good chance that the full truth would come out, so that Karlie's inexplicable and honestly borderline immoral actions could eventually make sense. But as your sub said, this is an unrealistic expectation, thus I became an ex-kaylor and I'm not planning to come back even when they reunite. đ
Anonymous said:
What baffles me is that Taylor has explicitly expressed her regret about not giving her lover the credit she deserves and her doubt whether fame is worth hiding her true love: "when I walked up to the podium, I think I forgot to say your name", "what's a lifetime of achievement, if I pushed you to the edge". But yet again she didn't do anything to change this. I didn't expect her to acknowledge Karlie, but a nod or at least not falsely crediting her beard would be a good start.
Anonymous said:
1đ Let me chime in re: "expectations". I'm one of the kaylors who ever since the pregnancy reveal was trying to tell everyone there's NO way she was gonna dump him soon after birth let alone before that. It would bring too much unnecessary attention and Jerk would have never agreed to something that would make him look like a bad guy/husband. For the exact same reasons, I was also saying there's no way he wasn't going to post about the baby. All the above against the popular opinion back then.
2đ So I agree that the day of the birth post was known to T, not the timing though. Simply bc Kushner-leaning outlets made sure to note that detail. If they wanted it to go unnoticed, why draw attention to it? That being said, kaylors would have been more patient with this mess, if Karlie hadn't gone overboard with her freedom "smoke signals" last summer and Tay's "insiders" hadn't been insinuating that the end is VERY near. Both of them SHOULD have known by then how we would react to these.
3đ So it's natural that everyone feels played and has no patience for any more bullshit. Another sore point is how Jerk AND the Kushner-Trump klan monopolize the baby news. This isn't just to make it realistic, it's an abuse of Kaylor's baby's name to garner good pr for the worst family in America, with Karlie's blessing. In order for her marriage and split to appear realistic she's putting a LIFETIME burden on her child's back. Unless you believe she's eventually gonna say Jerk isn't the dad.
4đ So "weâre in a position we should realistically have been able to see coming". But we did see it coming, that why some made these extreme scenarios, bc this is the worst possible outcome. "Good people try to make it work, even in bad relationships." Ultimately this isn't just a "bad rs". It's a horrific association that should have been resolved ages ago, not one to bring your child into, doom it to suffer a similar fate, and expect people to sit idly and watch. That's what frustrates most.

Run My Mouth (Monet x Monique)- Ortega
a/n: i actively refuse to type the word Momo into existence bc i refuse to associate that fucking horrendous face with these cute af idiots. this is my entry to the fic challenge bc someone wanted Monet x Monique and i wanted out of the Branjie emotion pit! this is filling the cliches 3 (enemies to lovers) and 7 (A has a sexy dream about B) and also is of course a lesbian au bc that seems to be the only currency i deal in. itâs also set within the Just The Game Weâre In universe if anyoneâs interested, and is also probably horrendously ooc. christ iâm good at selling my fics!! credit where creditâs due, the âholy trinity of whyâ was stolen from The Thick Of It, the song on Moniqueâs insta story is Own It by Ella Mai, and âpanini headâ is stolen from Gordon Ramsay. hope u all enjoy!
Summary: Guardian journalist Monet X Change arrives at the Ministry of Defence to run a piece on Shea Coulee. She didnât expect to be distracted by a bad-tempered band 1 comms girl who seems intent on driving Monet to distraction entirely through sarcastic remarks, tattoos and acrylic nails. Â
***
Journalism. What did it all actually mean? When it came down to it, all it was was writing about stuff that happened in the world. All it was was retelling a story. But then nobody ever really seemed to view it that way, Monet thought to herself, as she scuffed one high heel against the rough, sandpaper-like carpet of the lobby and continued to wait.
It was never as simple as just writing, though. Fuck, if that was all journalism was then how many horrific atrocities could have been avoided just through the lack of coverage and platforming alone? There was always an agenda to push despite Monetâs personal feelings on the situation, and she always just had to put up and shut up. For example, today. What Monet really should have been writing about was the Ministry of Defenceâs catastrophic overspend, but someone high up in the party (probably Bianca Del Rio, Monet reasoned) had made some sort of deal with Bob to avoid excessive coverage of it. This surprised Monet as, before sheâd started working at The Guardian, Bob had been part of Phi Phi OâHaraâs party as their press secretary. Still, even if Monet didnât know the finer details of how politics worked she knew what a threat or a bribe looked like, so instead of writing about anything juicy or remotely interesting she was here, in the offices of the MOD, waiting on Shea Coulee. Bob had sent Monet out to do some private life piece, some sort of day-in-the-life of a department minister thing that was set to last for a fortnight. Shea would hate it as it meant Monet would be exposed to all sorts of potential party fuck-ups. Monet would hate it because it was a bunch of writing which was of absolutely no consequence. The Guardianâs readers would hate it because it was an article attempting to humanise a politician, and Monet knew people hated those, so there it was. The hat trick of fuck.
She waited dispassionately in the lobby, her heels swinging and scuffing the carpet with every passing second. She didnât know how long sheâd been doing it, or how many times, but there suddenly came a voice from one end of the corridor.
ââScuse me, ma'am.â
She didnât turn around at first. In all honesty, Monetâs ego meant that she thought that anyone in the building would be addressing her by her last name, with a Ms. in front of it. So she kept swinging and scuffing.
The sound of heels came down the corridor. âMa'am!â
Monet whipped her head around, slightly startled at the louder sound. She was met with a girl- early twenties, she would guess, in a smart black pencil skirt and suit jacket combination with a bright white shirt underneath. Her black hair was pinned up in a neat bun with a few strands helping her fringe frame her face, which was currently set into a scowl. Monet initially thought the girl was there to take her to Shea, however seeing the tray of coffees she was carrying made her second-guess. She frowned up at her from her position on the small sofa-lounger-thing she had been perched on. Monetâs back was already up and she hadnât even said two words to her.
âYes?â
The girlâs scowl deepened. âAre you aware that this is a ministerial department?â
Monet bit back a laugh. âYes.â
âSo you know that if youâre waiting here, you canât sit and wear the carpet out like a pacing bear in a zoo, correct?â a smile finally came over the girlâs face, albeit a fake one. Monet briefly noted her eye makeup- bright and extravagant, a bit much for a day at work but still pretty and expertly applied. She decided to return the fake smile.
âWell thank you so much for that advice! Iâm always really keen for pointers on office decorum by girls that look like their makeup was done by a blind toddler playing with dried up poster paints. Now,â Monet sighed lazily, pleased at the way the girlâs jaw had visibly dropped. âcan you please make yourself useful and find me somebody that works for Shea Coulee? Because Iâve been waiting here a while.â
The other girlâs face was stony as she addressed her. âI work for Shea Coulee.â
Monetâs heart bunjee-jumped into the pit of her stomach. Shit. Okay, fuck, she didnât need to panic. She was still holding the coffee tray, so that clearly didnât indicate a senior position. The other girlâs face was set into a shit-eating smile, clearly happy to have scared her. This only served to rile Monet further. âWell, could you please check that sheâs ready to see me? Iâm Monet Change, Iâm from The Guardian. Iâm doing a piece with Ms. Coulee.â
The other girl narrowed her eyes in distaste. Monet noticed that they were deep brown, making them seem huge. âYou got an ID?â
Monet rolled her eyes. Briefly, she cast an eye to the girlâs hand. âAre the office coffees not getting cold, tea girl?â
The girl looked briefly as if sheâd been slapped in the face. Monet snorted. This was fun. She watched as the girl looked nervously down the corridor, then at the drinks in her hand. Monet almost felt sorry for her, until the girl frowned at her again.
âWeâre living under a severe and constant terror threat, Ms. Change, and precautions are precautions,â she pouted, her face like vinegar. She held her hand out and Monet cast an eye over a set of neon green acrylic nails. With a small jump to her heart, she noticed that the nails on her index and middle finger were cut shorter than the others. She looked up at the girl and caught her eye. Another fake smile came her way. âID.â
âWell how should I know you even work for Shea Coulee? Whereâs your ID?â Monet answered back, taking far too much delight in the way the other girl pouted before taking her free hand and sticking her middle finger up in Monetâs face.
âThereâs my ID, bitch! Do you want me to go get Ms. Coulee or not?â
âMonique, what the hell are you doing?â came a sudden voice from up the corridor, making the girl jump. A little splash of coffee jumped out from under the lid and landed on her wrist, and Monet didnât miss the way she hissed a little through her teeth. She felt bad. Turning her eyes up the corridor, Monet saw who the voice was coming from- real and in-person Shea Coulee, with her neat dreads cascading down her shoulders and back and over her red shift dress. She radiated power, and Monet felt suddenly intimidated. The girl opened her mouth to speak, but Shea simply raised a hand and gave a light shake of her head. âI think youâd better get back to the office, donât you? I donât think any of us ordered an iced latte.â
The girl nodded sharply and walked briskly down the corridor, but not before she gave one final look to Monet that was mixed with anger, annoyance, and something else she couldnât quite decipher. Â
âMs. Change, isnât it?â Shea turned back to Monet and held out her hand, smiling as she took it to shake. âPleased to meet you, Iâm excited to be working with you. I have to apologise for Moniqueâs behaviour, sheâs a complete hothead and she shouldnât even have been interacting with you.â
Monique. It was a nice name.
Monet picked up her bag as Shea began walking down the corridor, quickening her pace to follow her which was tricky in her heels. âSo uh, sheâs not one of your advisors?â
Shea snorted a laugh. âPlease. Sheâs a junior civil servant. Youâll meet my advisors, theyâre just in the office.â
Monet thought for a moment. âSo I donât really need to interact with Monique at all during my time here then?â
âOh, no. Donât worry about that. Youâre not going to be in with the little people,â Shea dismissed her with a wave of her hand as she walked into the bright and airy office space.
Good. It was good that she wasnât going to be seeing Monique. Following Shea through to her office, Monetâs eyes scanned the room and somehow came to rest on Moniqueâs brown ones. Monique blinked once in surprise, then gave Monet a nasty look.
She was a total bitch, anyway.
***
Day five, and the end of week one. Monet would be lying if she said the whole thing was as boring as sheâd thought it would be. Sure, the actual writing itself was boring. It turned out that a private life piece on Shea Coulee at work unsurprisingly consisted of Shea Coulee doing lots of work. Monet had met her advisors, Asia and Vixen, and they were nice enough girls but they were there to work too. So in lieu of anything interesting to do, Monet had had to invent her own fun.
Which consisted of annoying Monique.
It hadnât started out like that, Monet always defended herself internally. Sheâd tried to make amends with her on the first day- stopped by her desk on the way out and asked her how her wrist was, but all she was met with was a wordless sneer. The next day, Monet had made a point of saying good morning to her, again met with no reply. Sheâd then complimented her hair when she came to Sheaâs office to ask about a press release, but the only reply Monet got was a flip of it. So after that, the gloves were off. Monique had had three strikes, and now the bitch was out.
Monet could have just ignored Monique. That would have been the mature thing to do. But something about the girl had got under her skin and niggled away at her, like an annoying splinter. Plus Monet was competitive, and there was a need to get even.
On Tuesday, Monet got teas and coffees for the whole comms team apart from Monique. She didnât miss the widening of Moniqueâs eyes then the disappointed pout that followed when she realised there was nothing for her. It made Monetâs skin prickle in satisfaction.
On Wednesday, Monet came into the department and walked up to Moniqueâs desk. She made sure Monique had locked eyes with her, made to smile at her, then fixed her eyes very pointedly on her cheek and frowned deeply, feigning concern as she walked away. She cast a glance at Monique over her shoulder as she walked away, who was furiously checking her reflection in her phone screen.
Yesterday, they had both been in the kitchen together. Monet had been grabbing a fork for her lunch when Monique had walked in, her eyes darkening upon seeing Monet. Monet felt a slight curl in her stomach when the other girl brushed past her and reached for a teabag, a rich, woody scent clinging to her like the black dress she was wearing.
âMorning, Monique,â Monet smiled, leaning against the countertop and smiling. âHey, how are Cerberus and Hades this morning?â
Monique cast her a glare. She spoke after a beat of silence. âI donât follow.â
âGuardians of the underworld?â Monet elaborated, receiving a tight smile in return.
âOh, cute. Contemporary reference,â Monique bit back, reaching up to take a mug from a cupboard. âShould you not be, you know. Writing? Like an actual journalist? Are you an actual journalist or just a child pretending to be a journalist?â
âAs opposed to you, whoâs a child pretending to beâŠan adult?â Monet blinked, delighting in the way Monique visibly tensed up.
âJesus, I canât wait til you leave,â she muttered, Monet able to hear the eye roll in her voice. She gave a chuckle.
âWell get used to me, princess, because Iâm here til next Friday,â Monet beamed at Monique as she turned around, her gaze frosty and making Monet shiver a little.
âIâm not your princess,â she said, her voice low and dark and giving Monet a small heart palpitation. With a sudden flashback to their Monday meeting, Monet remembered the nails on Moniqueâs right hand. A shiver ran down her spine.
âNo, youâre right,â Monet said, dropping the pitch of her voice to match Moniqueâs. She took a step forward, closing the space between them. âYouâre a little brat.â
Moniqueâs eyes bored into hers. There seemed to be something hanging in the air. After what could have been seconds or minutes, Monique scrunched up her face and spun around on her heel, leaving Monet on her own in the kitchen.
Monet had gone home and replayed their little confrontation in her head on repeat. It especially taunted her just before she was about to fall asleep, when she was lying in bed in the darkness with a dull throb between her legs that she tried her best to ignore. Monique was attractive, that was just a fact. She had a beautiful face and a little tiny waist and the most amazing legs, and when she wore short sleeved tops Monet could see the tattoos that went all the way up her arms, and sheâd always been into tattoos. But Monique was also a total dick. So why was that so hot to her?
Monet found herself turning over in bed, switching the light on, grabbing her phone and typing xvideos into her search bar.
The next day everything seemed to be even more charged between the two girls, although that could have been Monetâs imagination. From the moment she walked into the department she had felt Moniqueâs eyes on her like a trained sniper, a blush hitting her cheeks that stayed there for most of the morning to the extent that Shea had asked her if she was feeling alright. Monet could hardly concentrate on the departmental she was sat in and was glad of the recorder sheâd utilised to catch the meeting, because the only thought that seemed to run through her head was how do I get her alone again?
It turned out she didnât have to wait very long. Monet was taking a phone call from Bob and sheâd ducked into one of the small stationary cupboards to talk to her when Monique came in halfway through, her face curling up when she saw her. Monetâs heart gave a leap and, finding an excuse to finish the phone call earlier than needed, she pocketed her phone and turned to the other girl.
âLooking for some relevance?â Monet asked as she watched Monique bend down and open a cardboard box. The other girl narrowed her eyes at her as she stood up.
âLeave me alone, Monet. Iâm serious,â she snapped, Monet crossing her legs together where she stood. Fuck, she could be bossed about like this all day.
âOh, we on first name terms now? Iâm a guest in your department, you should be addressing me properly,â Monet folded her arms and leaned back against the shelves behind her. Monique snorted and quirked a smile.
âOf course, Ma'am. Iâm so sorry! Would you prefer Bitch, or Ms. Bitch?â she smiled sweetly. Monet couldnât help but run her tongue over her bottom lip and then bite it softly, and she didnât miss the way Moniqueâs eyes darted to it or the way her stare faltered.
âYou know, you really shouldnât be throwing around that word so casually, Monique, especially since Iâm working with your boss.â
âWhy are you doing this?!â
Monet exhaled. âBecause Iâm bored, itâs funny, and I hate you. There you go. The holy trinity of why.â
Then Monet got a shock as Monique suddenly took a step towards her, closing the gap between them in the already tiny cupboard, and if Monet leaned forward she would be able to feel Moniqueâs body against hers. Her eyes were dark as she scowled at her. âYou think you can just walk into this department with your perfect hair and your perfect outfits and your perfect body and just talk shit to everyone after a week?â
Monet held back a gasp as Moniqueâs expression faltered, almost as if sheâd given something away that she shouldnât have. Her heart gave a jump. Sheâd really just said all that? Monet touched her caramel curls self-consciously. She looked at Monique from under her lashes. âI donât talk shit to everyone, just you.â
Moniqueâs harsh stare was back. âWell you better stop.â
âOr what?â
âIâll do something I regret,â Monique hissed. Monet blinked. It was so hard to read the situation. She couldnât tell if Monique was genuinely threatening her, but she seemed to have got closer because Monet could feel the heat of her body just millimetres away from her own. She swallowed thickly. Just then she noticed Moniqueâs eyes dart quickly from her eyes to her lips and back up again. It made her decision for her.
âDare you, princess.â
Quicker than Monet could blink, Monique had suddenly closed the minute gap between them, pressed her body up against Monetâs own, and was kissing her with more passion than sheâd ever been kissed with before in her life. It was as if Moniqueâs lips were made of fire, and Monet moaned as she felt her hands tear roughly through her hair. Monet was so stunned that she was almost unable to kiss back, until she felt Monique suck gently on her tongue and lust flood through her whole body. Monet brought her hands, which had been resting on Moniqueâs waist, up to cup her jaw. Monique noticed the movement and Monetâs heart thudded quickly as she felt Monique take one of her hands in hers, lace their fingers together, and move it from her face down to-
âMonique! You still in there? I found a bunch of staples in the top drawer of- oh,â came a voice- one of the other comms girls, Monet recognised. With a speed that she didnât think it was possible to move at, she leapt back from the other girl and thanked God that the comms girl on the other side of the doorâs entry to the cupboard had been stopped by a huge box full of spiral-bound notebooks that Monique had moved to get better access to what she was looking for.
Monique ran her tongue over her lips and cast her eyes to the floor as she spoke. âOh, thanks Vanessa! Iâll be out in two seconds, just need a couple more things.â
Monet hadnât realised she was holding her breath until she released it when she heard the girl walking away down the corridor. Keeping her face neutral, she looked at Monique whose cheeks were dark pink and her eyes embarrassed.
âI should, uh,â Monet began, moving to the door in an effort to ease the awkward tension that had been created.
âYeah, sure,â Monique nodded furiously, rubbing her forehead with one hand and averting her gaze. Without a second glance, Monet was out the cupboard and walking briskly up the corridor and back onto the meeting room sheâd left when she originally took the phone call. Sitting back down in her seat, she was pleased that Shea was already talking so that nobody needed to acknowledge her arrival.
Just when she thought she was off the hook, Asia turned to her and murmured. âGirl, where the fuck did you take that phone call? A hedge?â
She declined to reply.
***
Monet walked into the department on Monday with a cocktail mixer of excitement, nerves, trepidation and readiness being shaken up in her stomach. Her mind had been a complete mess all throughout the rest of Friday, and Monique seemed to have been good at avoiding her because she hadnât seen her at all for the rest of the day. So Monet had gone home at the end of the day with her head in a spin, her hair still a complete mess, and a burning need to be absolutely railed. She wasnât able to stop herself from scrolling instagram when she was alone in her flat with a glass of wine, and her fingers were typing in Moniqueâs full name (which hung on the nametag around her neck each day) before she could stop herself. She found her instantly, and a guilty feeling built in Monetâs stomach as she found herself looking through the girlâs page, gorgeous selfie after gorgeous selfie making her stomach flip over and her palms grow hot. Suddenly, she saw the circle around Moniqueâs profile picture turn pink. Her thumb hovered over it, unsure if she wanted to graduate to full-blown instagram stalker creep status. Well, sheâd come this far.
A mirror selfie of Monique filled the screen, her dark hair spilling over her shoulders and out of the ponytail it had been in earlier. She was smiling, and Monet found herself wishing she had that smile directed at her more often. With a pang she noticed that the wine in Moniqueâs glass was red, matching the crimson liquid in her own glass. As if she was afraid of being caught, Monet tapped off the story and buried her phone underneath one of her couch cushions. Â
On Saturday, Monet met with her friend Bri for coffee, which was probably a good thing as it would serve to distract Monet from the dream sheâd had last night of Monique, perched up on her desk in a black lace bodysuit and high heels talking in extremely explicit detail about what she wanted Monet to do to her. Meeting with Bri would stop her from lying in bed in her own filth masturbating herself into oblivion and obsessively checking Moniqueâs instagram like a complete loser. On the other hand, all Bri seemed to want to talk about was some French politician sheâd slept with whilst she was over there as a correspondent for the BBC during the European Parliamentary elections, and it wasnât really helping.
ââŠand like, Iâd never really been one for strapons before- because, hello, big dicks usually arenât really the selling point of lesbianism- but Jesus Christ, Monet, I swear I saw God. In fact, I fucked God. God was her. Hey, panini head, are you even listening to me?â
Monet blinked twice as she tuned back into the conversation. Her friend was staring at her intently, her blonde hair slightly all over the place with how animatedly sheâd been telling the story. Not too far away from their table a family of four looked on, horrified.
âOh my God, Cracker, itâs ten in the morning,â Monet rolled her eyes, utilising the nickname she sometimes hit out with for her friend (âBecause Iâm thin, white and salty?â âNo, because it doesnât take much for you to snap.â).
âSo?! You canât put a time limit on fucking a hot girl.â
âNo, but you can put a volume limit,â Monet raised her eyebrows, as a Dad with a pram walked into the cafe. Bri rolled her eyes.
âJesus, would you stop being such a prude? You need to get laid,â she sighed, then narrowed her eyes as she saw Monet shift in her seat and cross her legs, the memory of her stationary cupboard encounter flooding back into her head like a tsunami. âUnless you already haveâŠ? Monet?â
Monet took a sip of her coffee. She put it back on the saucer and tried to ignore Briâs piercing eyes. âWhat?â
Bri jumped back in her seat and almost knocked a tray of tea out of the hands of a woman passing behind her. âOh my God. Youâre not telling me something. Tell me. Tell me now, or I go into more detail about my night with Aquaria Palandrani at double the volume I was using before.â
âHow can it get more detailed?!â Monet cried in dismay, then frowned. âWhatever, I donât want to know. Ugh, thereâs nothing to tell, honestly.â
Bri leaned forward in her seat expectantly. Monet rolled her eyes and couldnât help but laugh.
âLook, itâs honestly nothing! Itâs just this girl-â
âA-HA! Thatâs not nothing! Thatâs a girl!â Bri gasped, excited. âMore details, please.â
âYou know Iâm doing that piece on Shea Coulee for Bob? She works for her department, sheâs a comms girl. We didnât really see eye to eye at firstâŠI mean, I guess we still donât. But sheâs fucking beautiful, and her attitudeâs just really hot, you know? Even though itâs meant to make me not like her.â
âOoh, hate fucking,â Bri gave her eyebrows a little wiggle, causing Monet to slap her on the arm.
âShut up! Iâm trying to get her to like me first.â
âDonât. Hate fuckingâs the best. Did I ever tell you about-â
Monet tuned out again, her mind now occupied by Monique now that sheâd been talking about her. She wondered how she would play things on Monday, and how Monique would approach things with her. Even though she would be happy if Monique had had a personality transplant towards her, there was a small part of her that couldnât help but long for one of her sarcastic clapbacks that drove her absolutely insane.
That night as she tried to write up things for her article, Monet couldnât help but feel her phone in her jean pocket like an itch she had to scratch. Giving in, she opened up instagram and made her way to Moniqueâs page again, top in her search history. She saw a new post on her story and her heart gave a thud. Tapping, she was admittedly disappointed to see a songâs cover art pop up on the screen. She was about to tap off again when two emojis caught her eye, with a completely undeniable double entendre- tongue and squirt. The small clip of the song rang out in Monetâs living room before she could even adjust her volume.
âI put the na-na in naughty
Begging for it, got you on your knees
Didnât make it to the bedroom, but we can do it there too
Whateverâs your fa-â Â
âOh my God, fuck off,â Monet yelped involuntarily, throwing her phone out of her hands so that it landed on the sofa cushion beside her. She didnât know how the hell to interpret that, or if it was even about her, but all she knew was that she was more confused than ever.
***
Monet took a deep breath before she stepped into the offices on Monday morning, straightening her spine and walking in confidently, despite the fact she felt as if her legs were made of jelly. On her way into Sheaâs office she passed by the desk that hadnât been far from her mind all weekend (footage from her dream flashing through her head as she walked past) and out came the simple phrase that sheâd rehearsed saying for hours.
âGood morning, Monique,â she said quickly, catching the other girlâs surprised eyes before sweeping past her desk and going straight into the Ministerâs room, not giving the other girl a single chance to respond. Her heart beat rapidly all morning as she sat through meeting after meeting, a small triumphant smile on her face.
At quarter past twelve, Monet made her way to the elevators, ready to head out to grab some lunch. She cast her glance to Moniqueâs desk hopefully, only to find it empty. Her disappointment was short-lived, however, when she walked into the lift and heard the click-clack of high heels running to catch the it before it left. Monet pressed the button to hold it and her stomach flipped over when Monique, wearing a black, calf-length bodycon dress, ran into the lift beside her. She shot Monet a quick glance, then looked up to the ceiling and avoided her gaze. The lift doors closed and it began its journey down the many, many floors towards the lobby.
âThanks,â Monique said, after a few beats of silence. Monet cleared her throat.
âNo worries.â
There was another pause. Monet couldnât tell where it was going, if anywhere, and the awkward atmosphere built. She tossed some of her honey curls out of the collar of her shirt and rubbed the back of her neck, embarrassed.
âSo, uh,â Monique spoke up, inspecting her nails. âYou have a nice weekend checking up on me?â
Monet felt as if someone had poured a freezing cold bucket of water over her head. She wished she could control the horror that was almost definitely slapped across her face. âWhat?!â
Monique gave a small smile. âItâs okay, Monet, I know I look good. The least you couldâve done is shoot me a follow, you know?â
Monet wanted the bottom of the elevator to drop off so she could fall directly down the lift shaft.
âI wasnâtâŠoh my God,â she trailed off, realising there was no way she could explain her way out of this one. She placed both her hands on her face, covering her eyes. âHow did you-â
âYou know it tells you who views your stories, right?â Moniqueâs voice came, a slight laugh to it that served to make Monet feel both more and less embarrassed. âHey. Donât worry about it. Happens to the best of us.â
Monet couldnât muster a reply. She didnât even think she could take her hands off her eyes.
âI mean, I gotta admit. I had a lilâ sneak on yours too,â the other girl said quietly, causing Monet to finally take her hands off her eyes and look at Monique who was leaning lazily against the bar on the lift. âYou look like a snack when youâre not in those work clothes, girl.â
Ohhh, shit.
Monet tossed her hair over her shoulder and smirked at Monique. The conversation was finally going down the route she wanted, and she found herself squeezing her thighs together in anticipation. âI donât know, baby, you seemed pretty keen on me when I was in them too.â
She watched as Monique laughed, looked up at the ceiling again, and shook her head. âThat was a necessary step I had to take to stop you running your fuckinâ mouth, and it worked.â
Monet tilted her head as Monique finally made eye contact with her. She bit her lip and shrugged. âCanât have worked that well, âcause Iâm still talking.â
Monique smiled smugly, taking a single step towards her. âAnd what?â
Monet blinked, taken aback. âWell. Maybe you need to shut me up again.â
Monique twirled a strand of her hair around her finger. âIs this a big, powerful, high-up Guardian journalist begging a Band 1 Civil Servant to make out with her in an elevator?â
âOh, Jesus,â Monet laughed, feeling the heat between her legs build up as Monique came to a stop beside her, deliberately standing a little too close. âYouâre a bitch. Fuck, no, Iâm not begging.â
âMm, you wanna beg me so bad,â Monique smiled teasingly, and Monet had never wanted a lift to break down more in her life. Turning quickly so that she had one arm on either side of Monique and effectively trapping her, Monet saw a quick, wicked flash in the other girlâs eye as she leant in and dropped her voice.
âI bet I could make you beg me to do a lot of things.â
Monique flashed her a look from under her lashes. âLike what?â
The lift suddenly stopped and the doors slid open, making Monet flinch and Monique jump beside her. To her relief, nobody was waiting to walk in and she couldnât help but laugh, the other girl rapidly joining in. After a few seconds, Monet realised they had to get out of the elevator and so she reluctantly walked out, Monique following behind her. Now that the moment had been shattered, it was back to being slightly awkward, but Monet really didnât want to lose what theyâd just created. She found herself stopping abruptly, turning around to face Monique who had stopped beside her and was gazing at her hopefully.
âHey. Do you want to grab lunch just now?â she asked, her heart soaring as she saw Moniqueâs smile grow wider and more beautiful.
âSure,â she beamed, Monet smiling back and feeling like a total lovesick idiot.
They started walking again. âWhere do you wanna go?â Â
Monique ran her tongue over her teeth and shrugged. âWellâŠmy flatâs five minutes away and my flatmate isnât home.â
Without missing a beat, Monet took Moniqueâs hand and led her out of the building, part of her hoping she would be able to shut Monique up and part of her really not wanting to.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think his messaging in his interviews has been pretty consistent. His logic is just dumb. Heâs basically saying the intimacy heâs revealing is that he was chasing a girl that broke his heart, and the who doesnât matter so much as how everyone can relate to that kind of feeling.
But like, no shit. Who wouldnât assume heâs had his heartbroken by now⊠heâs 40⊠heâs no spring chicken who hasnât experienced love. To him tho, I think he thinks thatâs revealing a very vulnerable part of himself bc compared to before, itâs actually something personal. Which is true in a way, that is more than what heâs ever said before about his love life, but itâs just information that people would assume anyways so it feels anticlimactic. But everything about Ben is a a bit anticlimactic to me lol. I also hate his singing face, he makes the nastiest looking grimaces đ
Btw the more interviews he gives about 11:11 the less I think itâs about Ms Inbred Blackface Asshole Exorcist. People keep saying heâs trying to distance himself from her bc of the backlash but when has Ben ever been smart enough to do that?? If anything heâs so stubborn he doubles down. Everyone and their mom was dragging him about his like over her racist activist shit and he not only didnât unlike, he liked her apology too. He knows exactly how all his fans feel about her. The thirsty gays, the thirsty teens, and the thirsty moms all shade each other about being bad fans but everyone unites to talk mad shit about her and heâs tagged in it too. Heâs been fending off criticism about her for 2 years. That hasnât changed his continued association to her at all.
So I donât think his trying to clarify that it isnât about her is him deflecting for an extra 15 albums sales from would be disgruntled fans, I genuinely donât think itâs about her. I do believe she told him about it tho. Sheâs the only one of his known acquaintances thatâs into this kind of âclap trap.â And it would also explain why she keeps associating herself to it while he really hasnât. And why 11:11 doesnât even feel like itâs really part of the song? It feels like he just tacked it onto the first verse to get a theme going about wishes
Not unpopular at all. He is quite consistent, to the point of boring, and it all seems nonsensical if ye think about it. Just said in the ask before. Generic is what it is.
Anticlimactic and underwhelming. All the secret messages and uuuuuu itâs time uuuuu. And we only gonna get an EP, which is fair and fine cuz EP is a debut go to, but some of the fans (darklina fangirls mostly) were hoping for a full album.
The thirsty gays, the thirsty teens, and the thirsty moms all shade each other about being bad fans but everyone unites to talk mad shit about her and heâs tagged in it too.
Beautiful words ngl
And I do think the song is about her. Or at least some parts of it. The 11:11 is apparently the time when ye make a wish (if ye like 11) so it makes sense to call a song about one two three wishes like that?
The chasing part or whatever. The I wanna you but ye canât be mine. Saw some speculation that it might have been written back in 2020 when she was reconciling with Brooksy.
Who knows the truth. Well, I can point to at least 2 individuals, Brooksy's opinion would be nice too.
Lemme just add that people have been mocking him for almost two years now, for being involved with her. TWO FUCKING YEARS. The 11:11 is so much her thing that it hurts my eyes. YET he decided to name the song like that. No one made him (hopefully lol), he could have called it Never Our Time or Bullshit Lovesong for all I care, and that would fit well too? Maybe lol? But no. He went for the claptrap he does not believe in. At this point not associating the two together is wishful thinking xdd

Twingenuity by Caeseria. Viktuuri, explicit, 160k. summary:Â âVictor arrives in Hasetsu, completely unaware that Yuuri has an identical, overly affectionate, twin brother. The resulting temptation might actually kill him before he gets Yuuri to the GPF like he promised.â

Reparations by Saras_Girl. drarry, explicit, 87k. summary:Â âHarry is about to discover that the steepest learning curve comes after Healer training, and that second chances can be found in unexpected places.â
Winter Song by proantagonist. viktuuri, explicit, 149k. summary:Â âThe set of Yuuriâs mouth softened into a private smile as Victor squeezed his knee beneath the table. His hands were bare, free from the gloves he so often wore when they were together on the rink, and the heat of his palm burned straight through the denim of Yuuriâs jeans. He slipped his own hand beneath the table and found Victorâs. Hidden from sight, their fingers began to flirt and play. A secret conversation all their own that needed no words.
Yuuri was aware that at some pointâa moment in time he couldnât quite placeâVictor had become his boyfriend.
There wasnât a single instant when it happened. It was a slow awareness, as if Victor had silently been asking the question for months now, and Yuuri had been giving him the answer a little more with each passing day.â
iâd love to link everything i like but aSFASD!! just believe me when i say that with 500 bookmarks and having lots of writer friends in tumblr, i read a LOT of the same fics over and over and over again. the ones i mentioned just now are all longer stories i fell in love with because it took me days and maybe even weeks to read them and itâs like iâd found a whole new universe?? you can def ask me for fic recs because all i do is read fics but i found it really hard to just pick a few so i decided to pick just a few longer ones for this question!! but ask me for my favourite coffee shop aus? do it. favourit otayuri fics? ya please. fav modern au captive prince fics? you really should.Â
6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?
i canât see the number of my subscriptions anywhere? but i get maybe 3-10 email notifications every day about an updated work so i guess itâs a lot. i have a little over 500 bookmarks! :))Â
7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?
hmm, i maybe havenât written enough to have, like, a special au i enjoy writing? but i DO think about coffee shop auâs and writing them a lot so i guess itâs that asfdsf. i just really really love coffee shops??Â
8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)
274 subscriptions and 704 bookmarks holy sHIT hey i love every single one of you??Â
9. Is there something youâd like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)
i have a bunch of really, really sad and depressing headcanons i would love to write but iâm probably never gonna? like, lots of things about eating disorders and cutting and someone getting injured or cheated on, someone losing an important person or having to give up on their dreams, etc. lots of sad characters trying to be brave on their own and slowly fading away :ââ)) i donât want to write then because i havenât come up with any good endings for those and i DONâT want to write stuff with no happy ending, so. i just really think i need to get out all kinds of crap rn and writing them would make me feel better but i think iâm too involved to actually write something worth reading? i fear that if i wrote smth iâve headcanoned, it would end up being super immature and illogical. idk. my point it that iâm afraid to write really self-indulgent, depressing angst sadgsghdfÂ
10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.
i would love to be a little more consistent in writing. my concentration is bad and often i canât get into the flow when iâm working on something. usually i add something to a wip every few days, then one day i write 1000 words and then continue editing sentences here and there, jumping from scene to scene, deleting smth and then adding 57 words. like...i often feel like i canât get into the scene iâm writing and it feels like iâm watching it on the outside instead of being the writer? whenever i can focus properly i get solid, consistent, meaningful writing done, but honestly 80% of me doing anything is messing around and i have to do A LOT of damage control before everything is finished?Â
this is related to what i just described but iâd also love to be able to write chronologically because i feel it makes the story and the journey more real when iâm actually working through what my characters are feeling/experiencing throughout the story? instead of writing an exciting plot thing A and an exciting plot thing number B and then later writing the boring parts inbetween.Â
i have a lot of problems with plots in general - i feel itâs easier for me to write 2 k about, like, yuuri making tea in the morning, than writing 2k about someone walking to the store and buying milk. iâm better at describing moments and feelings than concrete plot points or someone dojng something? idk.Â
11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?
popular ships. i mean, i might read rarepairs but i usually have one or two otpâs from each fandom i write about. iâd love to write about chrisabek one day though sgdfg.Â
12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?
18 ???? what how when has this happened?? . 13 of those are yoi and the rest either drarry or johnlock.Â
13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?
18 published works and about....25-30 unfinished things? some over 10k words, some less than 500. also but i wrote A LOT of original shit when i was like 16-18 so if i count those in the number would be about 100 probably
14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?
i write them down potential ideas, but i have a lot of headcanons i donât write down because i donât think i have the ability to write them. but most of my ideas go to google docs/notes.Â
15. Have you ever co-authored a story?
yeah, i actually have one wip going on with someone :) itâs unfinished but maybe weâll finish it one day? itâs drarry and super sweet.Â
16. How did you discover AO3?
i really canât remember? i wish i could? but it probably in 2012 when i got into the sherlock fandom.Â
17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?
i donât think so omg, but iâm really glad people read my stuff! but iâm definitely more known in the yoi fandom than the others iâm in bc my drarry/johnlock fics get like 5 comments, max, whereas i can get 20 comments to my yuri on ice stuff! :) itâs really nice that people read my stuff fhdhÂ
18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?
omfg no but everyone who reads my stuff is an actual Angel Â
19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?
yeah, a lot! a lot of original fiction authors & a lot of fanfiction authors! whenever i read a good text iâm like âwow, this is awesome, i wish i could write this wellâ and that always gives me a huge boost. the support of my friends is really encouraging and inspiring, too.Â
20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?
the âi will be a stronger writer after i finish this pieceâ is REALLY good advice, because...not everything you write will be the best youâve done and you maybe feel like your writing has some flaws or something. but you know what? even if itâs not perfect, youâre a lot more experienced writer when youâve done it. i do the âitâs gonna be shit anyway so iâm not gonna write itâ thing quite often but then i have to remind myself that every single word i write gets me closer to being better, so i plunder through. and when i get finished with something, i usually think âwell, this is not my strongest work but iâm glad i did itâ and!!!! thatâs really it!! i took part in otayuri reverse bang this spring and god i wanted to give up so so many times and i wrote lots of plots for it because i didnât like ANYTHING i did. but i got through it, and while i think that the two stories i did for it are the worst iâve written, itâs still 18 000 words more than i would have written if i hadnât participated :) be your own biggest supporter & give yourself time to practise & be super proud and happy about what youâve achieved so far!! <3 you wrote 10 words today? THATâS 10 WORDS MORE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. you had a huge writerâs block so instead of writing you just wrote down some plot point you wanna write later? YOU PLANNED SOMETHING. you couldnât even plan, you just opened your computer and gave up? YOU TRIED AND RESPECTED YOUR LIMITS TODAY AND THATâS AMAZING.Â
21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?
i usually plan big plot points but figure everything else out as i go? planning in actually one of my weaknesses and instead of making a plan and sticking to it, i just wait for inspiration and get as much done as i can before it goes away, lol.Â
22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?
not really :) everyone has been really sweet to me.Â
23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)
action scenes are pretty hard? i think iâm better at writing dialogue and feelings than action or something dramatic happening. iâm working on it and i would love to get more edge to my writing!Â
24. What story(s) are you working on now?
iâm finishing the last part of my heartâs a radio (it beats for you so listen close). the chapter is what i intended to write in the first place (yuri and otabek seeing each other at worldâs and getting it on in a hotel room) but then i just....needed to have 14 000 words of stuff before it, apparently.Â
iâm also working on a drarry fic that has been in my drafts for a long time. itâs about 8k and i think itâs going to be 10-13k, and thatâs fine. itâs all about margaritas and blowjobs and being hungover, basically. itâs really fun to write lol.
and then i have this captive prince smut one shot thatâs also like half-done. itâs really fluffy and sappy but still just smut.Â
aaaaalso iâm trying to finish the next chapter for my viktuuri dog sitter au fic now my heart stumbles on things i donât know ! iâve been procrastinating because i donât really have a plot for it planned yet.Â
25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?
i have too many ideas in my head constantly and that makes it reaally hard to focus on finishing something before jumping onto something else. thatâs why i have tons of wips and no finished works, lmao.Â
26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?
not really. sometimes i try to push myself by setting goals, but in the end it really stresses me out because iâm usually away from home at least 9 hours every day and my work is really physical and tiring so asfsgas i really donât have the strength to write every day. now my goal is to finish three fics before the year ends. theyâre all oneshots that are maybe 80% done, so i should be able to do it.Â
27. Do you think youâve improved as a writer since you first started?
i hope so but i really donât know??Â
28. What is your favorite story that youâve written?
hmm. itâse been really fun writing i am to see to it that i do not lose you series because iâve gotten a LOT of positive feedback along the way! and iâm not done with the series - i have a chrisviktuuri smut oneshot planned in this universe, happening at the same time when yuriâs figuring out how to dateâą. it was the first part of the series that made me think that maybe people actually enjoy my stuff & that encouraged me to write more!
I also really liked writing a oneshot i hust posted yesterday - listen how, under the breastbone, the rhythm changes . i wrote my first yuri on ice fic about a year ago and i just really wanted to return to that moment and write smth sweet about viktor and yuuri. the story has no plot or anything, but it felt REALLY good to write bc i sort of want and need a lot of soft things right now!Â
also iâm having SO MUCH FUN with the drarry fic i havenât posted yet, omg.Â
29. What is your least favorite story that youâve written?
hmm. probably cautiously peering, absorbing, translating hey eve stop with the pretentious fic names because it was basically my first multichapter fic and i feel like it fell apart a little? i had to write it in less than a month bc it was part of otayuri reversebang. i felt like the idea was good and that it didnât reach its full potential? i have very mixed feelings about this fic. i havenât been able to read it even once after i published it bc iâm so afraid of what iâll find lmaoÂ
30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?
hopefully my english is a lot better then, at least! i hope that iâve started writing original fiction, really :)Â
31. What is the easiest thing about writing?
coming up with ideas!!! i donât even use most of the ideas hat get in my head and i get lots of new ideas especially when iâm at work, out doing shopping, basically doing anything active?? but writing everything down, especially ideas you know will get 20-30k long once you start...damn.Â
32. What is the hardest thing about writing?
managing long stories? i havenât written very many longer (like, over 10k?) stories and dgsgsg itâs just hard to make the plot interesting with lots of interesting cliffhangers, sad parts, etc? itâs hard to balance everything.Â
and yeah writing just in general is hard because itâs at least 80% writerâs block but having ideas flood your head and making it hard to focus on real life sfsg
33. Why do you write?
to express myself, i think? i still havenât learn how to process my more uglier emotions through writing (it would be really helpful if i could) but iâm definitely writing about the kind of things i miss and would like to have for myself - someone being really happy, having lots of quiet mornings, being loved, maybe being a trainwreck but having something to cope through it, having a special connection with someone. idk. all kinds of things.
writing is fun and actually writing down the fics youâd want to read is super duper cool. i donât get very much done in my life otherwise, so writing gives me the feeling of accomplishment iâm not getting anywhere else.Â
iâm not very good at expressing myself so writing definitely helps with that, too.Â

The entire, "fanfic end of the year asks" questionnaire! :D
favorite fic you wrote this year
In terms of completely new content, I only really wrote âSaving Todayâ for the DCEU this year based off the Wonder Woman and Justice League films, so I guess itâd be that by default.
least favorite fic you wrote this year
See above?
favorite line/scene you wrote this year
From âSaving Todayâ:
âAs soon as she bites into the savory snow-white sweetness, rich and airy as a cloud of cream, the dizzying memories melt in her mouth. Of swaying under a flurry of flakes as people laughed and sang around them, safe and sound after their town had been liberated by a band of heroes. Of hands grazing tender across her cheek, his lips on hers like the heat of a match spark, kindling tinder in their hearts. Of a pinned paper princess, watching her steadfast tin soldier go up in flames, wishing to dance with him just once moreâŠâ
Iâm still not really comfortable writing romance, but I like it mostly for the imagery and metaphor/allusion to the Hans Christian Anderson tale âThe Steadfast Tin Soldierâ.
total number of words you wrote this year
2,519 (+ minor edits to my chapter fic)
most popular fic this year
Again, âSaving Todayâ (probably bc the movies just came out recently)
least popular fic this year
âOut of His Leagueâ - a Batman TAS/Static Shock crossover
longest completed fic you wrote this year
âOzymandiasâ for BTAS @ 5,010 words (even though I wrote it last year I published it this year so it counts?)
shortest completed fic you wrote this year
âSaving Todayâ @ 2,519 words
longest wip of the year
I donât really have any âactiveâ WIPs; my BTAS TimSteph chapter story âHeroes and Thievesâ was technically already done last year, just in draft form. Â (I guess you could say my ItsuHaru story? *shot*)
shortest wip of the year
See above
fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year
DCEU
favorite character to write about this year
Wonder Woman/Diana Prince
favorite writing song/artist/album of this year
Hm I didnât really have anything I specifically associated with Diana when writing âSaving Todayâ (thereâs âIce Creamâ by Sarah Mclaughlin but I got that from a different fic), so Iâll step back and say my soundtrack for âHeroes & Thievesâ thematically consists of a lot of Vanessa Carlton, Regina Spektor, Family of the Year, Goo Goo Dolls, The Script, and Gregory Alan Isakov (among others).
a fic you didnât expect to write
Honestly I wasnât expecting to love Wonder Woman as much as I did, let alone write a fic for the DCEU when Iâve been focusing soley on the DCAU/BTAS so far. Â (Although in general Iâm still surprised Iâm even writing for the superhero genre in general. OTL)
something you learned this year
Some of my favorite series are so long-running/still beloved years later despite the length bw updates (*cough* Haruhi *cough*), so I really shouldnât stress about my own work losing followers/interest over time (even though it still makes me anxious).
fic(s) you completed this year
âSaving Todayâ
fics youâll continue next year
âHeroes and Thievesâ, hopefully
current number of wips
Haha⊠*looks at ItsuHaru fic ideas*
any new fics to start next year
I would like to write one more BTAS story about the relationship bw Veronica Vreeland and Bruce Wayne.  As for my Haruhi stuff⊠ No promises. *shot*
number of comments you havenât read
None? Â I like reading all my comments.
most memorable comment/reviewOn âSaving Todayâ:
âThat was beautiful. Beautifully written and beautifully sad, I cried a bit and I thank you for all the feels you made me feel. Thank you
If one of my stories made someone cry, then I consider it mission accomplished. XP *shot*Â
Also from one anon:
âahh! i love love LOVE your heroes and thieves fanfic. almost screeched in glee when i saw you finally updated!!
just bc it was kinda random and I rarely receive anon messages on tumblr, but it makes me happy there are others out there still reading and enjoying despite the wait. ^^;Also shout-out to Jalon Jones and The-Shepherdâs-Daughter on ff.net, whose comments are always a joy to read. Hope you guys are doing well!
events you participated in this year
None
fics you wanted to write but didnât
The Veronica Vreeland fic for one (not to mention all my old Haruhi ideas)
favorite fic you read this year
âAcceptable Lossesâ by @astrologistaâ
a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read
Everyone?  Thatâs kind of a broad spectrum since most of the fics I read require familiarity with the series.  Of the ones Iâve read this year⊠ Perhaps âSafe Harborâ by psychobabblers on AO3?  Itâs set in the DCEU but so long as you know the general relationship bw Bruce Wayne/Batman and Clark Kent/Superman and their respective histories itâs a sweet little story about dealing with grief and finding solace/family in anotherâs company.
number of favorites/bookmarks you made this year
I rarely bookmark things publicly unless itâs something I feel very strongly about, but there are some Iâve saved to my personal collection for reference (about 10 or so it looks like).
favorite fanfic author of the year@astrologistaâ & @otherwise-uncolonizedâ
longest fic you read this year
âi have been left here in the reedsâ by ohallows (dean_n_pie) on AO3 (as a stand-alone piece)
shortest fic you read this year
âHallwaysâ by Sandri and just now âPhotographâ by redbirb on AO3 bc Iâm a shameless TimSteph shipper now even though I prefer DCAU over their comics versions but thereâs no content for the former. (Actually Iâve probably read a couple other shorter ones on tumblr but Iâm too nervous to tag other users I donât know. Besides these two feel appropriate to mention together, and I like how despite their length these ones accurately portray each of their personalities in a short span.)
favorite fandom to read fic from this year
DCEU

In Hanoi in the old quarter, motorbikes flash by and thereâs yelling and the smell of pork skewers and thereâs old buildings and new ones, huge stalks of bamboo leaning up against the walls. In Kaunas the wind is so cold and sharp and the buildings are so clean and thereâs that old fortress and the tower! itâs so beautiful. and Kyoto is old and archaic but so modern it hurts and the streets are too uniform and the houses creep me out a bit bc theyâre so quiet.Â
