#i think i wrote and read the most fanfics about regis

[irritablepoe]

you guys don't understand how obsessed with this man i was, like you look at him and see Just A Guy but he's actually a vampire who's addicted to blood but has been abstaining it for like a few hundred years, lives in the woods, alone, making booze (i'm not even joking), then first chance he gets invites a WITCHER who's supposed to KILL HIM into his house, and spontaneously decides to go with the group bc... nobody actually knows why (it's for gay reasons tho, trust me), then helps the group on multiple occasions, fucks and SATISFIES a succubus while not being very subtle with his vamperism and fskjdfhjhjksdhjf the reaction to geralt finding out?????????? their conversation??????????????? OMG i'm hyped.

FOR THE FANFIC ASK MEME THING (I finally picked beyond 'just... all of them?'): F, I, K, M, N, Q, S, T, V, W, X, and Y. WHICH ISN'T ALL OF THEM it's just... several...

(from here)

F. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

I’m working on a Final Fantasy XV AU, because that’s basically all I write for FFXV; I really love the building blocks it gave me, but I don’t like a lot of the architecture. Anyway, conceptually it’s a fairly standard ‘what if Ardyn wasn’t a villain?’ thing, and on the off chance it ever sees the light of day, it will be called There Is a Crack in Everything.

This is a really early scene.

Regis stepped into his study, and Ardyn scarcely gave him time to close the door before wondering, with a languid sort of ease, “For how long have I been Adagium?” He sounded as if the word tasted foul.

“Longer than I can be certain of,” Regis sighed, taking his seat at his desk, across from Ardyn.

“And I’ll be able to relax for...how long?” Ardyn wondered pleasantly, leaning an elbow on the desk and propping his chin in his hand. “Before those lovely toy soldiers of yours try to haul me back to my stone box, that is.”

For a moment, Regis was quiet. For a moment, Regis thought of his father. Mors would have reacted the instant he realized who Ardyn was, and Regis wondered how many of the Glaive would have died and what sort of enemy they would have created.

He thought of his son, just a few weeks old. Already, Regis knew he did not want to teach Noctis to be that sort of king.

He did not want to be his father.

“You may stay here, should you wish it,” Regis answered at last.

Ardyn blinked, slowly. His expression didn’t change, but his words seemed carefully picked for carelessness. “And no one will wonder at another of the bloodline suddenly appearing?” he asked. “Or am I forbidden from showing off?”

“We’ll say you’re my half-brother,” Regis answered before he was even fully aware he’d come up with a solution. “It won’t surprise many.”

Ardyn’s eyes narrowed. “You’re awfully eager to dub me family.”

“You already are family,” Regis reasoned. “It seems it’s time someone finally treated you as such.”

That, at last, seemed to unmoor Ardyn. His posture went rigid for a moment as his gaze went distant. Twice, he opened his mouth to respond, before closing it without saying a word.

It took him only a moment to gather his composure, though, before he cleared his throat. “I have to say, this is the most elaborate method anyone has ever used to call me a bastard. I suppose that alone means it’s worth putting up with it.”

Regis laughed before he could help it.

I like it for a handful of reasons. For one thing, I’ve successfully weaponized it (and a few other snippets of the same WIP) to make my friend Ala emotional. For another, I didn’t really see this dynamic between Regis and Ardyn coming. It just sort of happened while I was typing, but I liked it when it showed up. It felt natural for an Ardyn who hadn’t been driven mad by turning countless people into daemons, but who was nevertheless not the same gentle healer after 2,000 years of isolation.

I. Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

I got paid for years, plural, to write really bad porn about people who could turn into animals fucking. I have no shame left. I’ve had no shame since the first time someone offered to pay me $500 for smut.

K. What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

It is, again, related to FFXV. I wrote If the Ring Fits and Backed in Silver years ago, and ever since, I’ve tossed around the idea of writing another sequel for Ignis.

The only issue is that my idea for it would forcibly make him realize that the Prompto that had been in their world was not actually their Prompto, and had not been for over a decade. And it would be a conflict he’d have to grapple with through the entire fic, trying to decide whether to force that same replacement on someone in a different world or to just endlessly keep hopping from one world to another because he can’t return to his.

I’ve never actually written any of it, and the concepting never got beyond Ignis’s revelation about Prompto. But considering If the Ring Fits was 10,000 words long and Backed in Silver was 20,000, I can only imagine what sort of behemoth it would be.

M. Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

Like, WIPs, or things that I’ve pondered but haven’t started working on?

I’ve got a few WIPs. There’s the aforementioned non-villainous Ardyn AU. I’ve got another FFXV fic that’s been on hiatus on AO3 for legitimately over three years, and the next chapter is very nearly finished and I just...can’t seem to get there. I’ve got a Persona 5 new game+ fic in the works. That one’s fully plotted out already, and just the outline is like 15 pages long. Based on how the first chapter is going, each chapter will probably be anywhere from 10-20,000 words long. And I’ve got a melancholy immediately-post-season-two Mandalorian one shot in the works, spawned almost entirely so I could make Mando say ‘fuck.’ I know no one says fuck in Star Wars, but I don’t care. I will not say kriff and no one can make me. And I’ve got the Dragon Age uber fic that I’ve just sort of been plugging away at since Inquisition was released and none of it has ever seen the light of day, unless you count me shoving a few snippets at Siobhan.

Oh, and I’m rewriting an older Mass Effect fic.

For things that I’ve thought about but haven’t really worked on, they’re mostly more Dragon Age and FFXV. The “canon” stories for the two timelines not covered in the uber fic, and more AU nonsense spawned from ItRF and BiS.

N. Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

Like, finish one of MY fics? No. I would bite them if they tried. Hell, I love you and I would bite you if you tried.

Just, in general? At this point I would take a monkey paw-style deal to get someone to finish Home.

(for anyone who isn’t Jim, Home is a nuTrek Jim/Spock fic that I think I was in high school when it was published. I graduated from college over five years ago.)

Q. How do you feel about collaborations?

Mixed feelings. I’ll take feedback, assuming I’ve offered the mic for it. I’ll prattle on about whatever I’ve got cooking. I’ll ask for ideas or suggestions. But when it comes to the actual writing of it, I’m a control freak. So, people are welcome to help me gather up the building blocks, but I’m gonna wind up doing the actual building myself.

S. Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

Overly elaborate AUs.

T. Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

That thing fandom does where if they’ve decided a character has anxiety, then it does not matter how that anxiety presents itself in canon, in fanon they are a weepy, shy introvert who can hardly string a sentence together because they’ve polymorphed into a shivering puppy.

V. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Does it count if I just say I wanna rewrite a series as a whole? There’s a FrostIron series I read ages ago before the MCU made me wanna gag, and at the time I LOVED it. And then not that long ago I went back and read it again, and it felt like I was saying goodbye to it because oh my god it was unbearable.

Loki was NEVER FUCKING WRONG ABOUT ANYTHING, unless he wasn’t in the room, in which case Tony picked the slack about not ever being wrong about anything.

W. Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?

More specific. Not this past Christmas, but the one before that, I was doing some Advent Drabbles for one of my roleplay blogs, so I was open to drabble suggestions anyone wanted to see. Like 70% of them were just one or two words and I’m just staring at my ask box like ‘thanks, I hate it’

(Kudos, though, to the random stranger who gave me a very specific, paragraph-long prompt for a Spider-Man (PS4) fic.)

X. A character you enjoy making suffer.

...All of them?

Y. A character you want to protect.

I guess Din Djarin.

I mean, he still falls into the above ‘all of them’ but when I make him suffer it’s more related to exploring something that happened in canon, rather than me directly causing it.

A (terrible with the brightness of gold), F, I, K? 😁

Thank you!! (And sorry, I think I wrote a couple of essays here)

A: How did you come up with the title for [terrible with the brightness of gold]?

It’s from a passage from the Encomium Emmae Reginae one of the most important historical sources for the events the fic is loosely based on. The passage describes Cnut’s (Erik’s) 1016 invasion of England: “For who could look upon the lions of the foe, terrible with the brightness of gold, who upon the men of metal, menacing with golden face, ... who upon the bulls on the ships threatening death, their horns shining with gold, without feeling any fear for the king of such a force?” (the king = Cnut) (so it’s kind of a general reference to the ambiguous and scary threat of the vikings)

The title of the two planned next parts are also from it, and the overall name of the series is a take on the source title-- ‘Encomium Emmae Reginae’ means “In praise of Queen Emma” and it’s basically a life story about how she is amazing (commissioned by her, of course). The series, conjugated with Charles’ latin name, Carolus, is “encomium carolis regis” -- “In praise of King Charles” 

F: Care to share a favourite hurt/comfort fic?

I assume that this is supposed to be one of my own, but, I’m not sure that I’ve written one, so I offer Continuing Education by aesc and spicedpiano. It’s amazing!

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? 

Yes, so many! I think probably my biggest are forced relationship/marriage and dubcon, and generally fucked-up relationships (Stuff I in no way condone IRL but I love to read! Also, I may have an unfinished fucked-up fill on the kinkmeme that I shall never claim) 

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

I don’t know if I’ve had a really angsty idea for x-men -- most angsty right now is probably a one-shot I’ve drafted where the Brotherhood has won and imprisoned Charles, and Erik constantly visits him like they can still salvage their relationship and Charles will come round, but Charles is just done.

A year with Strange and Intoxicating -rsa- (FFXV)

Stories written/published (or stories with chapters added) in 2017: 73 Number of total words: 316,313 Number of WiPs finished: 9  Number of WiPs incomplete: 17 Number of One-shots written: 47

FROM MY PAST YEAR OF WRITING:

My best story of this year: Fucccccck. I would have to say.... personally? I still think that my best writing was actually Like Lambs, Roads, and Blood Queen.

My most popular story of this year (by kudos, comments or notes): According to A03, my top three fics were A Feast for Kings, Riding the Regalia, and In Somnis Veritas. It's been forever since I wrote most of them...

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Probably The Blood of Kings, Defy the Stars, and Blood Queen.

Most fun story to write: There's a Noctis in My Pocket, Memory Lane Cafe, and To the Moon and Stars.

Hardest story to write: Probably Defy the Stars, hands down.

Biggest disappointment: The story I thought everyone would love and yet wasn't?  Blood Queen and Aquarius.

Biggest surprise: Why does everyone love Royalty Ride? And Ascending Souls came out of nowhere....

Most unintentionally telling story: Oh, man... Probably Whispers. I don't even think anyone read that one lolol

Favourite Opening Lines: When they came for the crown of Tenebrae, they ran the sword straight through Queen Sylva's spine. ~Blood Queen Perhaps it was the magic of the Crystal inside it, but the Regalia… The Regalia was always more than a car. She was, in her infancy, a beautiful show piece that made even the most stalwart of men pause in her grandeur. Her sleek black paint, the monochrome details along the rims, the two-toned leather seats that soon after being purchased by the Prince cradled tired bodies into the blissful arms of sleep... She was different. She knew her job was to love them. And the Regalia would protect her passengers. Her family. ~Roads

Pro-tip: Do not ingest Maiden's Kisses if not in Toad status. ~Maiden's Kiss

Favourite Closing Lines: 

"Always." ~A Thousand Words

The radio played their song as the Regalia lifted into the sky, drifting through the fluffy white clouds and toward the endless expanse of blue above and then—

Below, like crushed sapphires and rolling diamonds cresting the horizon.

The ocean was as beautiful as the Regalia had always imagined.

Stand by me ~Roads

Ignis and Noctis, hands and legs and whatever was left of their souls entwined upon the dais on their throne, bared their necks to the heavens.

Like perfect little lambs.

(do you think that we'll have peace?

i hope so.

i'm scared, ignis.

close your eyes, noctis, and try to sleep.

sleep?

it's like... fading away.

that sounds nice.

it is.) ~Like Lambs

REFLECTION TIME

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? I definitely wrote more than I thought I was, but I didn't finish half as many WiPs as I wanted to....

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? So much more Luna than I originally planned.

What’s your own favorite story of the year? Probably Memory Lane Cafe.

Did you take any writing risks this year? Oh, man. From writing fem!Noctis twice to writing a ship people hate, I've been trying hard to take more risks with my writing.

Do you have any fanfic goals for the new year? Finish my fucking WiPs. I MUST FINISH THEM.

Ships tag (finally!)

So I was tagged by the glorious @ferelden-doglord, and I’m happy to do this tag! Actually seems like a lot of fun.

its okay read this im not as aggressive as @vaporeox

First Ship you ever read fic for: Goodness, I think it was Ciri x Avallac’h actually. Yeah, I was really late for the whole shipping party, atleast in terms of googling up po--ehem, fanfics. (same thing really)

First Ship you ever wrote fic for: I’m starting to regret this tag, as I have 2 seconds goldfish memory. I can’t remember what was genuinely the first, but I wrote a fanfiction for Eredin which was the first one out of everyone, gave him a fictional wife. As well as my OC for Regis and one for Vernon Roche

Oh and my modern Witcher AU, still working on that one though! 

Ship you write the most now: Idk, the last time I wrote a REALLY shitty fanfic for @vaporeox and @lunedin about us 3 being pimps at a brothel who entrapped Regis if I remember correctly. Nothing beats Lara’s version of that fanfic tho

Ship you read the most now: I don’t read many, but I guess any Aen Elle fanfic is fun to read, though there’s a huge lack of actual good ones, which is why.. I rarely read fanfics. 

Newest Ship: Umm Morkvarg x Skjall hell yeah

Rare Ship you wanna read more of: I kinda like Redelion and Ge’llach (but there are 0 ones for Ge’els). They’re fun, different and actually makes a lot of sense if you look closer to it.

Your taboo Ship: Nothing, ship whoever you want, it’s fun and harmless

They never met in canon Ship: Oh boy I got nothing

Your unexpected ship: roche x everyone

The ship you always forget to give love to: iorveth x squirrels

Ship your OC with a canon character (if applicable): OH BOY. Here’s the good stuff! So, I disliked how the game turned Eredin into the singular most typical villain-character there is. He is a bit more complex and multilayered in the books, but his character could’ve still been given some more different sides to him in terms of complexion. We see him as the opposition, and that’s the only side we get to see. The notion of evil vs good is very primitive and rarely ever true. There’s no such thing, everyone is a bit evil and good, even the ones who portray themselves as saints and the ones who portray themselves as evil. I would’ve liked to show this different side to Eredin by giving him a character which he could counter with, but not just one for the sake of being there, but one that adds more to all the characters of the Aen Elle. I’m of course talking about a Queen. In my book, I created one inspired by Queen Freya from the Huntsman: Winter’s War, as she seems to be his mirror reflection in many areas. What I loved about HER character is that she’s clearly portrayed as an evil queen, but she was given a backstory, humanity, empathy and a hidden side to her. But she, alike Eredin, strived for power. 

So who is my OC? Well, she’s a mathematic genius, a professor in physics, cosmology and archeology. A woman of many merits, praised by many to be one of the most influential women of the county in terms of how well spread her teachings has become, and how popular she is amongst students. Originally from a small town in France, she carries a mysterious past and many dark secrets. Amongst them, it is revealed that she is no ordinary woman. She’s lived far too long, to earn so many merits, and be so highly knowledgeable in so many subjects, whilst still remaining young to the exterior. She’s an intelligent woman beyond count, and she seems benevolent, but in truth, she’s far from it. She has both goodness to her and a darkness, like many. But she’s begun to stir in matters she has no actual control over, and starts playing with fire in terms of extraterrestrial beings, space travels and alien civilizations. One evening, at one of her lectures and book signings, she is greeted by a very strange man, he appears friendly, but is later revealed to have questionable motives. He threatens to have a secret of her exposed (which would obviously result in a scandal) unless she agrees to meet with him later on. By doing this, she unknowingly, but as her work is on the line, walks into a trap. She is abducted by this man who knocks her unconscious. She is taken to a strange and foreign world in another galaxy, as a prisoner. You see, the Aen Elle sees every other race as inferior, and though they have little knowledge and understanding of our own race, they’ll still view her as a slave or prisoner at first glance. But this later on turns out quite differently, as she is introduced to Ge’els, who is actually an admirer of her work and all her achievements. I won’t spoil any further, but her character development is quite interesting. My purpose was clearly to create a character perfectly knitted for Eredin. 

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship: Sadly Ves x Roche just let me ship them leave me alone

Your most romantic Ship: all the aen elle with myself, pretty romantic that

Your sexiest ship: Eredin x Ciri and can’t forget about Vesemir x Avallac’h *tear rolls down*

Your most tragic ship:   (tragic ships are my aesthetic though) still ciri x avallach because I don’t actually think a happy ending is suitable for their characters

A ship you want more content for: @vattgherncirilla x imlerith 

im tagging: @cirillach @noonvraith @vattgherncirilla @lunedin @vernon-roche @holy-squirrel-of-death @lithialetheia @elisacoyote @whitenerine @woodlandelk and everyone eeeeelse!

Ignisxreader fanfic chapter 1

So here is my fanfic, I’m definitely nervous to post this just because I haven’t written in many many years, I used to write all the time but I fear I’ve grown rusty so please forgive that. I really do hope you all enjoy and id love some feedback. So this is a FFXV fanfic, and is Ignisxreader, it’s just much more in depth then that. So this fic is really based on all my daydreams I have, I have a very active daydreaming mind and so this character is kind of my OC and her adventures with the Chocobros, so this is incredibly near and dear to my heart since it is a piece of me since I’ve spent many hours and days daydreaming this up. I just wanted to share it all with you, so jump in and enjoy! I welcome any and all feedback! Also help me come up with a title for this fanfic I’m at a lose.

It was early morning and you knew you hadn’t been asleep for long when you heard the clinking coming from the kitchen. You were stiff and your left arm was asleep, that’s what you get for sleeping on the couch. It was so much easier for you to crash at your best friends home then your own, his was much closer to the Glaives headquarters and you had spent the whole day and most of the night training new recruits. You sat up on the couch slowly stretching your arms above your head, your hair falling in your face as you gave a loud yawn. “Ah you’re awake, I’m sorry if I was too loud” he walked out of the kitchen carrying two steaming mugs “I was hoping to let you sleep a bit longer” he sat down next to you handing you the mug, you took a deep breath of the ebony coffee and smiled before taking a long sip. You noticed he was only wearing black lounge pants, and no shirt, whenever you saw his perfectly sculpted body you couldn’t help but stare a little, he has the body of a gymnast but it seemed more like a god to you, hell he even gave Gladio a run for his money in your mind. “No don’t be sorry, I was almost awake already” you lied with a smirk, he knew you well enough to see right through your lie. “Thanks Iggy,” you nodded at the coffee “I’m sorry I crashed here again, it was a stressful day and having to train the newbies right after coming back from fighting daemons, just I was exhausted and didn’t think I’d make it home, hell I almost crashed at HQ” you said with a small laugh trying to hide your exhaustion, your lips going straight back to the coffee. God you loved how perfectly he made your coffee, you always miss it when you leave for missions. “Don’t you be sorry, if I had an issue with you staying I wouldn’t have ever given you a key or offered in the first place” Ignis sighed as he pushed up his glasses with his middle finger giving you a stern look, he was very sick of having this conversation with you. You just nodded and looked away. He broke the silence between you two" How was the mission?“ You sighed and your shoulders sunk down, you could only manage to stare off and put your chin into your hands and give him a quick side stare. He immediately knew this was the wrong thing to ask. “Ignis” you breathed out “I’m so tired of watching my Kingsglaive die” “It was a defeat, they overpowered us with daemons, huge ones I’ve never seen before,” you motioned with your hands “they shot fireballs from their shoulders!” Your eyes got big “and after our retreat the empire just…left” your voice trailed off in defeat. All Ignis could do was sit in silence and listen, once you were done he stood up and took your empty coffee cup and went back to the kitchen and refilled it. “Well,” he walked back handing you your cup of liquid gold “you honestly did all that you could do, I know you and you did everything in your power to protect your Glaive, and succeed” he stared you down with such caring eyes and the feeling you always got in your gut when he gave you that look was indescribable “don’t blame yourself.” you sighed deeply, he always managed to say what you needed to hear and knew how to ground your feelings. You set your cup down on the coffee table and tucked your legs up under you, wanting to change the topic you ask what he’d been up to since you left “oh the normal,” he said nonchalantly “errands, council meetings, tending to the prince. Things haven’t changed but I feel they may soon” He ended his words slightly ominously, you just watched him and in your heart knew exactly what he meant. “Well let me get out of your perfect hair” you said with a laugh standing up and grabbing the pieces of your uniform you had discarded all on the floor the night before and putting them back on. Ignis looked slightly disappointed for a split second but understood you’re a very busy person just as he is. You headed to the door with your typical saunter, and gave a look back at Ignis “stay out of trouble, I’ll text you later” you smiled with a wink. “Same too you, also next time you stay over please don’t sleep on the couch and please wake me and take the bed, I see the kink in your neck, I don’t know how many times I’ve had to tell you” Ignis smirked behind his hand which were pushing up his glasses again, you just laughed with a wave of your hand and walked out the door closing it behind yourself. You made your way along the busy streets of the Crowned City making very careful to not bump into the people you were rushing past, you needed to get home, take a shower and get into a clean uniform, you didn’t realize how dirty you were and felt a tinge of guilt for sleeping on Ignis’ spotless couch. You walked up some stairs of a rather old apartment complex to your door and pulled out your keys, opened it up and walked inside turning on a light switch. Your apartment was rather basic, considering you were rarely home between commanding the Kingsglaive, training, missions, and spending your free time with your favorite boys, you mainly used your home as a stopping place to sleep and store your belongings but nonetheless it felt very homey and welcoming. You walked to your bathroom and stripped down turning on the hot water and stepping in letting the heat relax your aching muscles. You looked over your arms and legs seeing all the new bruises, cuts, and scrapes you had acquired on your last mission, you knew you’d get a couple new scars to add to your collection. You thought over your last mission, how you had lost so many good men and women, how you needed to write the letters to their families, you felt your heart sink, your job was never easy. You were in a position of high authority, you helped command the Kingsglaive, the kings military, you were right above the lead of captain Titus. You were the Commander but you let Titus take most control of the Glaive for the most part, as you were typically sent to do special missions from the king himself or from his right hands. You did your best to always be by your Glaives side during battle and to lead them showing them you would always be willing to die at their sides and how they meant more to you then just being another soldier, but these times during the war were becoming rarer. The king was sending you on many missions alone to attempt to infiltrate and take plans from the Empire or take out a bass in secret. You were an incredibly skilled fighter and had many a special talent. You tried to keep it secret but most everyone knew, you were very special and rare, a gift from the gods as King Regis put it. You could harness and use magic without the need of the crystal, you could summon your own array of weapons and had your own secret move up your sleeve, one incredibly deadly secret that only the king and his closet confidantes were aware of. You’re only sole purpose on Eos though was to protect the king and his kingdom at all costs, you in essence were a weapon and bodyguard from the gods for the Kings of Lucis. It probably didn’t hurt your cause that you had originally been born in a far off land to a long line of famed daemon hunters. To put it in the best of terms you were a badass, and you knew it. You turned the water of your perfectly temped shower off and stepped out and wrapped a towel around yourself, you walked to your room and got dressed. All you really wanted to do was lay in your cozy bed piled high with blankets and sleep a little but sighed as you knew your day was going to be busy, you knew you needed to write reports to the king, write letters to those poor families, train with the Glaive, catch up with Captian Titus, and to spend some much needed time with your favorite boys at dinner. You left your apartment with just enough time to get to the headquarters, you walked briskly through the crowds of people to busy to notice anything but what was a concern in their own life. You were about to be at headquarters when your phone went off letting you know you got a text, you figured you’d check it later so you wouldn’t be late. But as you got closer your phone went off multiple times. “Must be Prompto spamming me memes again” you thought out loud as you dug your phone from your pocket. You opened the messages to see you had a message from Prompto, Gladio, Titus, and a couple from Ignis. You thought this was rather odd to have them all texting you at once so you opened them and began to read them. “I just saw what happened on the news, are you ok?” Prompto wrote with a sad face emoji “Call me when you are most available to talk” “I hope you’re doing ok” Ignis had sent “I’m sorry. How’s the Glaives taking the news?” Gladio wrote You started to become incredibly worried “I need you at HQ immediately, peace treaters have been signed, bad news for the Glaive, they need you now” Titus had sent You immediately felt your heart sink and face lose all color, you full on sprinted to the Kingsglaive headquarters.

For the fanfic ask: 10, 19, 29, & 51. I picked out a question for each section. Thanks! :)

10.  Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Well, I don't really participate in the FFX or FFXIII fandom, but I definitely enjoy reading fic from those two fandoms. I have only ever written a single one shot for FFX, so I don't really consider myself part of that fandom. Also, FFVIII is a guilty pleasure of mine. Laguna, you sexy beast.

19. Is there a ship which you wished you could get behind, but you just don’t feel them?

Whoooo boy. This is a loaded question. :p 

While I ship Chocobros, I typically don't write Gladnis/Promptis. I think it's mostly because I prefer writing the other pairings from the boys. All together in an OT4 I have no problems, but otherwise I find myself having to be kind of pulled into reading the two pairings on their own. (Again, it isn't like I don't read stories! I have found some amazing writers for those. Just my preference!)

Also... Um. Well. I don't need to say any more about the FFXV fandom. Because that would cause Drama(tm) but my opinion is already well known about a certain ship.

For FFVII, I always wanted to get behind Valenwind and Yuffentine, because they had so many great writers but... Just wasn't really my deal.

20. (Since you wanted this one since I already answered 29!)  Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

I don't find myself disliking Cloud/Aeris, which surprises most people. I still prefer Cloud/Zack, but I'm willing to read some Cloud/Aeris sometimes if it is in a story I otherwise enjoy. 

I also wasn't expecting myself to enjoy any pairings with Regis. I also am really, really surprised that I am having so much fun writing Lunyx. I wasn't expecting that. I started writing it almost out of spite and fell in love with the way I wrote the two playing off each other.

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Rant: Can we please stop fucking moralizing people on the things they write, the characters they like, and the ships they sail?

Gush: I seriously am constantly amazed by how many wonderful, talented, amazing people are involved in fandom and writing. Keep going you guys, I love you.
