hii happy pride month, have a little 'you're a dog (i'm your man)' chapter four snippet as an apology for radio silence <33
“Did I wake you?” Gale asks, glancing at John apologetically, but John looks up from his effort to avoid muddy puddles to shake his head. Gale supposes it’s a silly question; John sleeps like a rock, dead to disturbances made by anything other than his own brain.
“Just my sixth sense,” John says, shrugging and shooting him a small smile. Gale snorts.
“You got a radar for me?” He teases, and John smiles wider, eyes crinkling.
“Built in,” he answers matter–of–factly, raising a hand and making a fist over the center of his chest before dropping it, returning his vigilant gaze to the uneven ground. Gale stares for a moment longer, floored not for the first time by John’s apparent obliviousness to the weight of his sentimentality.
Even knowing John how he does, it’s always unexpected coming from someone who a stranger might assume to be brazen and surface–level; John’s loud mouth and wandering hands do him no favours in that regard.
But Gale does know John, like an extension of himself half the time, and still he manages to render him speechless. The way his heart flutters as the sentiment hangs in the air makes Gale want to reach down his throat and squeeze it until it never beats again.

hey guys, listen. it means the world that you like my stuff and are eager to see more of it, but i literally posted a wip just two weeks ago and have so many people asking when it's going to be done. the answer is: i don't know. this month has been tremendously difficult for me, and i'm really, really exhausted.
i've been posting art, vids, text posts, writing articles, etc. all for the sake of fandom while trying to keep on top of the huge amount of asks and messages that have come my way. i was supporting a loved one in the hospital, my laptop is broken, and i experienced a really horrifying situation earlier this month that left me sick, that i'm still recovering from. please do remember that i'm not a content factory, and neither are any other fandom artists you like. i know some of you are just reaching out because you are excited, but a lot of the time it's coming across as a demand, and it's making me just want to log off and not work on anything at all. this isn't my job - i'm just a person who gets excited about stuff and likes to write/draw/talk about it, that's all. i recognise some of this response is just burnout from a really terrible month, and i probably wouldn't be reacting this way if i was less at the end of my tether, but this is something i've always been vocal about. as a prolific fandom creator i've had my fair share of 'WHEN'S THE NEXT CHAPTER???' comments on fics, and 'OMG YOU SHOULD DRAW THIS!!!' replies on art that's just been posted. zero acknowledgement of artistic merit, of what they liked about what was made...just an insatiable hunger for more. i don't know if it's because i'm in so many fandoms, or because i make such a wide variety of fan content and make a lot of posts that seem to draw strangers in. but none of my fanworks come with a release date. i make them because they make me happy, and i release them when they're ready, and if i want to. i shouldn't be logging onto Tumblr and feeling dread looking at my askbox, messages and replies because i know there'll be more demand. for real guys...my stuff isn't that good? it's just silly self-indulgent nonsense and autistic overthinking. this is the place where i go to release the fixation energy, not to come to another workplace 😓 my apologies if this seems ridiculous or overblown. it's a feeling i've been sitting on for a few months now, and it's one i've had following strong/frequent/demanding interactions in larger fandoms before. i don't think there's a fix for this, because people are always going to be crossing boundaries and treating fanworks creators this way. but i think i need to stay firm and say that i don't owe anyone a schedule of the art i make for fun. thanks for reading 💖

Rice, Rice, baby | Chapter 16
Previous chapter | Next chapter
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Liv, you seriously didn't have to buy them anything for Christmas.”
“I’m their favourite aunty, Kennedy. I had to get them something” I say while watching one of the twins try to eat the wrapping paper from one of the presents. “Besides, thinking about what to get them and then going shopping has been one of the most joyful things I've done lately. Who knew buying kids’ stuff could be therapeutic?” I chuckle.
“How are you?” Kennedy asks me. “Like, truly.”
“I have good days and bad days” I shrug. “But the good days have begun to overcome the bad ones.” 
And that started just a couple of weeks after what happened between me and Declan in my car. Because what did he do? Make it Instagram official that he and the singer were dating. And what did I do? Have the biggest breakdown known to history.
When Alex showed me their joint post during our lunch break (kind of lame to announce it like that, but who am I to judge), I felt as if the hole in my chest had started to grow at lightning speed, swallowing me completely. I wanted to cry, to scream, to hit something. And I did all that at Tottenham's gym, where I ran to hide myself, and where Micky found me.
“Liv, what are you doing?”
“Looking for something I can hit!” I yell.
“Why?”
“Do you seriously have to ask why?” I laugh.
“Declan…”
“Yes. Him” I say, kicking a yoga mat and making the ones standing next to it fall.
“If you want to hit something, why don't you try this?” Micky says. “It's less harmful, gets the job done, and they won't fire you for destroying the gym.”
“What?” I say, turning around.
“This” he says, holding some boxing gloves. “It has helped me in the past and I think it can help you too.”
That first day all I did was cry and scream while he held the punching bag, letting all my anger go. But when I woke up the next day, my arms feeling so sore I could barely move them, I noticed that the hole was a tiny bit smaller. So I started to meet with Micky in the gym when we both were free, him teaching me how to properly box while I felt like every punch was closing the hole a bit more. 
“I'm glad to hear that” Kennedy says. “But you aren't looking that good.”
“Uh?”
“We have matching bags under our eyes, Liv. And last time I checked, you didn't have three children that drove you crazy” she chuckles. “Are you sleeping well?”
“I mean… I'm sleeping a lot more than usual, even taking naps throughout the day. But I still feel tired, it's a weird feeling.”
“Not so weird. I felt like that when… Nah, it can't be.”
“What can't be?”
“I felt like that before I knew I was pregnant with Leo. But it doesn't make any sense because you haven't been with anyone since before the summer, have you?”
“Yeah, that doesn't make any sense” I reply, not really answering her question. “It probably is just stress from these days.” 
Too much work, then the training with Micky after not working out for ages, the fact that I'm still emotionally healing, that I'm having to spend Christmas with Alex and his family when things keep being weird between us… That has to be it. 
“You could always ask one of the team's doctors to run some tests if that makes you feel better.”
“Nah, there is no need. I'm fine” I smile. “Do you want me to help you with bath time and putting them to bed?”
“Yeah, sure. You take care of Leo, I'll take care of the twins” Kennedy says. But there is something in the way she's looking at me, that tells me that she won't forget so easily about the conversation we just had.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
“Liv, wait” Madders says behind me.
“Hey” I reply, turning around. “Doctor Smith?” 
“Hello” he smiles. 
“Great, you know each other.”
“Of course we do, Madders. He works with my dad, remember?”
“Oh, yes. Silly me” he chuckles. “Anyway, he has something to tell you.”
“Me?”
“Your dad and James have mentioned that you've been going through a rough patch and they are worried it may have affected your physical health. That's why they've asked me if I could run some tests and make sure everything is fine.”
Kennedy. She told Madders, of course she did! This is what her look from yesterday meant!
“That's very kind of you, but there is no need.”
“C'mon, Liv. It'll be just a blood test and maybe a peepee one, right?”
“Peepee?” I laugh.
“You know that's how Leo says it and now I do it too without thinking” he shrugs. “But that'll be it, won't it, doctor?”
“Just the basics” he says.
“I'm fine, James. Maybe a bit stressed, but fine” I insist. “It'll pass after the holidays, you'll see.”
“But what if it doesn't?”
“Then I'll say yes to those tests.”
“Promise?”
“Yes, I promise” I sigh. “Now can I please go home? My mum wants me to help her clean around the house, we are hosting this year.”
“Ok, fine. But we have Doctor Smith as our witness. If after Christmas you are feeling like shit…”
“He can run those tests.”
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
“You didn't have to wait with me, Madders.”
“What kind of older brother would I be if I left you alone?”
“The not annoying one?”
“Meh, meh, meh” he replies, sticking out his tongue.
I had had to do it. I had had to get the tests done. And why? Because during Christmas things hadn't improved. 
I felt sick most mornings, and by dinner time I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. All I wanted to do was to lay down in my bed while watching period dramas and wish I got to dress like a princess. Oh, and speaking of periods… Mine was nowhere to be found. Which has only made the tiny voice that has been in my head since Kennedy told me she had felt this tired when she was pregnant, get louder and louder.
But me having all these symptoms could be just stress. I googled it and it matches. So it has to be that, not that Declan had better aim than all the strikers in the Premier League together after just one time not using any kind of protection. 
“Isn't it taking them too long? He said he'll have the results by the end of the day.”
“Maybe they were busy with other stuff” Madders says, resting his hand on my leg and stopping it from moving like crazy. 
“Or maybe there is something wrong with me.”
“Liv, no. Don't you dare going there.”
“Then why hasn't he called us yet? Why…” 
“Oh, there you are” Doctor Smith says, opening the door of his office. “Sorry for making you wait, but the system went down and it took it a while to recover and allow us to log in.”
“See?” Madders whispers.
“Please come in, Olivia. You can wait here, James.”
“Can't he come with me?” I ask.
“I would prefer to talk with you in private” the doctor says. That's it. There is something wrong with me, I'm dying. Or worse. My suspicions are right. “But if it makes you feel more comfortable…”
“It does. Thank you” I say, holding Madders' arm as if my life depended on it. Which can very well be the case. 
“Ok, so” Doctor Smith says once we are sitting down in his office. “All the tests came back perfect, but…”
“But?” I ask, grabbing Madders hand and squeezing it so hard I fear I may break it.
“Olivia… You are pregnant.”

snippet post
I'm in the editing mines, lol. But I was writing a Lu POV chapter and Morvran was acting funny so I was like ok I have to know why he's in this mood or whether I need to rewrite this, so I went in and wrote, just to throw away, his immediately-preceding conversation with Kalia, Ciri's household manager and a fellow Intelligence operative.
And this is something I'd put in earlier in the series, from Ciri's POV, but it seems relevant that Morvran is aware of it now. So I'm putting it here to preserve it, as this isn't a scene that's going to go into the main continuity anyway. And I wanted to post something as a proof of life, LOL.
Kalia considered that a moment, then snorted. “Morvran, it’s not like she’s going to marry someone else.” He glanced up at her, startled by her bluntness, and Kalia gestured widely with one hand. “You think any of the other candidates haven’t committed war crimes?” Morvran blinked, trying to determine whether he knew that for a fact or not. “Well,” he said. “Would any of them write up a report about them?” she asked. “Have any of them even made an effort to get to know her?” “Kalia,” he said, exasperated. “I’m not competing with the other candidates.” It wasn’t until he said it that he knew it was true. “I”m competing with her not choosing anyone. She doesn’t need me. She doesn’t need anyone. If she doesn’t find someone to marry she can just leave. And then we’ll have another fucking civil war.”
For a separate conversation I had to go look up the name I'd made up for Morvran's little brother and in so doing I wound up rereading most of the FFP series so I'm finding all kinds of shit I've already said in there. Ciri had the exact thought above very early on, before she even arrived in Nilfgaard I think. But she didn't say so. (And yes, i'd meant initially to have there be more suspense over the other candidates, but then I just didn't create any good characters, so that fell by the wayside. It's fine, LOL, I don't think anyone really needed that to be a side plot. There's still room for someone cool to pop up. We'll see if I get to it.)
As I was rereading, I remembered that I made a deliberate choice sometime during the pandemic: I realized that it would take longer for me to edit and cut down the story to make the pacing taut, and given the givens of what was going on in the world, I wasn't going to do that. I was just going to post the long sprawling story as it was. And I've stuck to that. So it's just. This long sprawl with all these meandery side bits, and as part of that yeah, some stuff is kind of repeated.
I know it's working for a bunch of readers, and it's working for me, but sometimes I'm like oh my god why is this so long why didn't i make myself a style sheet why didn't i edit anything down ever. So, LOL, if you've ever been like hmmmm this story is getting kind of long, well you're not the first to have that thought. I used to treat fanfic as like, "practice" for "real" writing (publishing original works), which is still a thing I'd love to do and may well someday, and I know nothing published as an original work is going to sprawl like this, and the worldbuilding would be all different, but you know, it's not like I'm not learning stuff from sprawling like this. It's been a fun ride and I'm not done yet. But that doesn't mean there won't be deleted scenes; I can't include this conversation with Morvran and Kalia simply because the pacing of the chapter works better starting with the other POV, and it's not worth trying to shoehorn in a flashback.
(This is also making me remember another decision I made in the fog of lockdown, which was that I had to stop replying to comments temporarily, because I had such limited time and realized I was spending it all in lovely conversations in the comments instead of writing more material, and while that wasn't bad per se, I really needed to tell the rest of the story. And I still haven't gone back to catch up on replying to comments and I feel guilty about that. So if you've left lovely comments and I haven't answered that's why, there's a three-year backlog at this point, and I've answered a few but it's not necessarily because they were the best, it's more that they came in during a moment when I had time, spoons, attention, and mostly, just happened to click through and do the thing and hit post. Alas.)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?
44 😲 in my main AO3 account. 2 others in my older account = 46!
I didn't realize I had that many things!
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
270,883
3. What fandoms do you write for?
All 44 of those works in my main AO3 are MacGyver 2016. One is a crossover with The Rookie. The other two at Star Trek TOS and Star Wars fics.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Table + Flashlight + IEDs
Mac + (Wilderness + Training + Survival) + Jack
Lost Causes
Lake + Stick + Fever
4 Times the LAPD Didn’t Pull Jack Over + 1 Time They Did 
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to! I often respond to a chapter's comments when I post the next chapter of a longfic. And sometimes I just space on it and respond a year later when I notice I failed to respond.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oh definitely my X-ray + Penny flashfic, Bad Penny. Most of the comments are variations on HOW DARE YOU!!!
There are a couple other flashfics with pretty ambiguous endings, too.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
That's a hard one. Most of my fics have a happy or at least comforty ending. Maybe... uhh.... Electricity + Combustion ? which I literally labeled "whump with a fluffy ending". I also have two Jack Lives fics so that's always a happy situation at the end...
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I haven't. A few weird comments but I mostly scratch my head and ignore them. Anybody who hates on my fics will be getting a very long and nasty reply, followed by their comment being deleted.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope, no smutty fanfics here. I did have a romance I posted for another fandom awhile back (and never finished), and I've written fade-to-black stuff in my orig fic novels.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Just one! My Macgyver 2016+The Rookie cops-vs-spies crossover, in which some LAPD officers keep coming across a black GTO involved in shenangains around LA: 4 Times the LAPD Didn’t Pull Jack Over + 1 Time They Did
It's probably the funniest thing I've ever written, and the ending is one of my very favorites. Also possibly the only gen fic ever posted in The Rookie fandom, although I don't look over there much.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes. Somebody stole all my completed fics from FF.net last year. There was a big Tumblr post about some site full of stolen fics, and sure enough, there mine were. I asked to have them remove, got not reply. I haven't posted anything to FF.net since then.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I'm aware of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, but not for a long time. I used to frequently co-write fics in my first fandom.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
I'm going to go with Washington State Ferry M/V Wenatchee. Who doesn't love a good ferry boat? It's an irconic style, fun if you're walking on, handy if you need to drive on, saves you hours of driving around Puget Sound by land. Also just a very nice-looking ship.
Tumblr media
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Ugh, wow. I have a couple dozen things I kinda like but might never finish. My favorite, and least likely because I've made the least progress on it, is a MacGyver fic about Patti having plotted out her revenge better, and tring to fuck over the team by having listed Jack as her replacement... which of course gives him access to high-level secrets like Oversight's identity. Much drama ensues.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Ramping a story up. Characters. Make a story fully story-shaped.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Endings. 😫
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Hmmm I don't think I've ever needed to. Like most things in writing, I'm not against it in theory, but it can be done well or badly.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Anne McCaffrey's Pern, back in the paper fanzine days. Prior to joining AO3 in like 2019, I had 0 fanfics posted on the internet but a few in zines listed on Ebay. 😂
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
This is IMPOSSIBLE to answer. I could answer it differently every day for the next couple weeks. Anything I already mentions plus a couple more!

halazia - 01
word count : 2,538
warnings : yunho and reader take a bath together
author note : ahhhhh, i’ve been wanting to post more of chapters, but school is already kicking my ass. i think i have at least three and half more chapters written (thank you winter break), but i also have other stuff to write as well. hope you enjoy!
previous chapter - 00 | next chapter - 02
another day came by, and you happen to have work. the boys take turns bringing you to work. at least one of them accompany you when you leave your home, just to make sure you're okay. despite learning the different areas of the realm relatively quickly, they were always worried that you would get lost without them. plus, they wanted to make sure you were safe and not scared.
"do you want me to pick you up later?" jongho asks as you two approach the daycare building you work in. he holds your hand while also holding a tote bag for you.
"i'm only here for a few hours," you mention. "i could walk over and meet you if you want," you suggest.
jongho nods his head in agreement, "that works. then me, you, and hongjoong could go home together if he's done working for once."
"okay," you smile at him and both of you stop in front of the place you work at.
"it's miss y/n!"
"hi, miss y/n!"
"miss y/n! miss y/n! i flew!"
"hello, my sweeties!" you greet the children as they run over to you, obeying the "no flying" rule that is in place at the daycare. most of them learn to fly at a young age, but they are still in need of training once they are old enough to attend school. "i made cookies for after lunch today," you mention.
"cookies!"
"yay!"
the children start playing together outside with your two coworkers already telling a few of them to be careful. jongho helps you bring the bag of cookies in despite you telling him that you didn't need help carrying it. (he just wanted to look helpful and strong, but he also wanted to steal a cookie for himself.)
"i'll see you later," he says to you.
you nod, "see you later, sweetheart." he leans in a bit, and you give him his usual kiss on his forehead.
he leaves the small building. you notice him opting to walk instead of flying, but the main government building as you call it wasn't too far away anyways.
"miss y/n, miss y/n," one of the kids calls out to you as she runs over to you, "is that the super strong one?" she asks about jongho.
you smile at her, "all of them are super strong," you reply, but you knew that she was wondering if jongho was the one that played with them last time.
when jongho visited the day care, he showed off his strength by trying to lift all of the children who were present that day. he actually was able to lift all of them, and he played with them some more before leaving to train that day.
"but miss y/n, is he the one that lifted all of us?" the girl asks.
"mhm, he was," you answer her question.
"the next time he comes, i wanna play with him again! he lifted so many of us last time!" she says.
you smile and nod at her request, "i'll let him know. go play, you need to get hungry for the cookies!" you say and she runs off to play with the other children.
once all of the kids left the day care with their parents, you and your coworkers clean and straighten up everything in the building.
"y/n, do you want to go ahead and leave? we don't might staying behind," one of your coworkers, chaeon, asks you.
"no, it's fine! i don't mind helping out," you reply with a smile right as you tossed a few toys into a box that was decorated to look like a pirate's treasure chest.
the three of you talk about your lives while cleaning up for the next day. once you were done, you and your coworker eunha left while chaeon stayed behind to file some paperwork.
"have a good one!"
"bye!"
you head further into town, heading towards the center of the realm. you eventually reach where hongjoong works.
the building reminded you of the depictions that humans made and drew of the heavens. buildings made of marble and with pillars surrounding them; more of the dipcition of where the greek gods live actually.
you walk into the grand building and walk through the lobby, passing by workers and other officials who you have seen a few times before. you make it to the staircase in the center of the lobby and start walking up.
"babe?"
you turn around and see wooyoung standing at the bottom of the staircase. a huge smile appears on his face when he realizes that you're the one on the staircase. he runs up to you and throws his arms around you.
"hi," you smile and hug him back, "what are you doing here?" you ask, knowing that he would usually be helping out at one of the orchards nearby.
"oh, i'm done for today," he mentions and stops hugging you. "come on," he says and holds your hand, "let's see if they're done working."
you two head upstairs together and walk towards the back. you reach a set of double doors, and wooyoung knocks on one of them.
"come in!"
wooyoung opens the door for you and both of you walk in. you notice jongho trying to file papers with hongjoong sitting at his desk as the door closes.
hongjoong looks up and smiles, "hello."
"hi," you wave as both of you go up to him. "almost done?" you ask, peeking at the papers on his desk.
"i'll pretend that i almost am," he replies and reaches up to kiss you.
"how was your day?" jongho asks, appearing by you with a file in his hands.
"good. the kids want you to come by and play with them again," you mention.
"oh, i can definitely do that. they're fun to play with," jongho replies and you kiss his forehead, just you like did in the morning. "hyung, can't we finish this up tomorrow? let's go home," he says to hongjoong.
the king sighs, "that'd be more work for tomorrow, and that would mean you would have to come here again instead of training with seonghwa." hongjoong sits back in his chair looking at the three of you.
"the three of us could leave, and we go have fun together," wooyoung suggests, wrapping his arm around your waist.
"hey, you aren't going to do anything without me, smug bastard," hongjoong says to the younger with a slight frown. "if you guys were so kind enough, then you could help jongho file some things away while i finish this."
wooyoung huffs in response. you look at him and run your hand through his hair. "come on, let's help him," you say to him.
with a clear pout on his face, wooyoung gives in, "fine," he says, turning away to start helping.
"angel, let wooyoung and jongho do the work," hongjoong says to you.
"hey! come on, hyung!"
you shake your head with a smile and a laugh, "it's fine, babe."
as hongjoong finishes more paperwork, you, jongho, and wooyoung file things away to be delivered to other officials around the realm.
as you help out, you hear someone knock on the door. a correspondent comes in to retrieve most of the documents before leaving.
"can we leave now?" wooyoung asks, sitting on one of the couches with you in his lap. the three of you ended up on the couch after helping.
"i'm hungry," jongho mentions, leaning against you and wooyoung. you play with his hair and hear his stomach rumble, causing you to laugh.
suddenly, someone's phone starts to ring. you watch jongho sit up, patting his pants pockets. he stands up and digs his hand into a pocket before taking his phone out.
jongho answers the call and puts the phone on speakerphone, "what?" he asks, laying back down like he was seconds ago. you look at his phone screen and saw san's name.
"what are you doing?" san asks.
"with the love of my life, hongjoong hyung, and wooyoung hyung," he answers, making you smile.
"hey, she's the love of my life too," san says.
"and mine," wooyoung speaks up, "what do you want?"
"i'm bored."
"come over. we're waiting for hyung to get done with work," jongho says to san.
"should i tell everyone else to come?" san asks.
you and the two guys next to you look at hongjoong. he most likely senses you three looking at him, and he looks up at the three of you. he smiles and nods his head before looking back down at the papers in front of him.
"come over, and bring dinner. i'm starving," jongho says before hanging up.
after some time, the rest of the guys arrive to hongjoong's grand office, even yeosang, who works pretty far away in comparison to the rest of you. he even said he flew as fast as he could from the border office that he was working at to join all of you.
"and then the kid dive rolls away before missing the arrow," seonghwa explains his day while holding a drink in his hand.
"don't you tell them that the machines are always on?" yeosang questions.
"i do! they just don't listen to me," seonghwa replies.
you were now seated in a plush chair with a plate in your hand. on top of the plate was a small piece of cake.
"sweetie, do you want anything else?" yunho asks you. you shake your head as you eat another bite of your cake.
"hey, san, don't hate me when i say this—"
"i don't wanna go on another mission!" the angel immediately interrupts with a whine, "i just came back, hyung!"
"but we really need these messages sent to the borders," hongjoong says to san. "yeosang isn't going to the western border until next week," he adds.
san crosses his arms and stares at hongjoong.
"i'll go look for another plushie for you."
"fine."
a few hours later happen, and hongjoong is finally done working. (well, that's what he says at least.) all of you leave the building and walk home together.
as you make your way home, you sense something behind you. you turn around to see seonghwa behind you, who smiles.
"what?" he asks.
"oh, nothing..." you reply and he takes longer strides to walk next to you. he holds your hand, interlacing them together. "thought i sensed someone else with us," you mention.
"i'll knock them out," wooyoung says to you, overhearing what you had just said.
"no, i would," san interjects.
"listen here mother—"
"guys, chill please."
"oh no."
"again? really?"
you reach your home, where guards open the front gates for you. you make your way towards the house and most of the guys decide to do their own thing for the rest of the night.
"you seem tired," yunho comments.
"just being in here is relaxing," you reply.
the two of you are taking a bath together. yunho gently holds you against his chest while you two stay in the large tub, big enough for maybe twenty people.
why do they have a tub that big in the heavens? who knows why?
"we should get out soon," yunho says to you, "the guys are gonna complain that i'm being selfish by keeping you to myself," he says with a chuckle before kissing your neck, "but i wouldn't care."
"i don't either," you say to him with a smile, "but you have to get up early, so we really should get out of here."
he sighs, "yea, you're right. do you want me to grab you clothes?" he asks.
you shake your head, "it's fine."
yunho gets out of the bath and wraps a towel around his waist. you follow him and wrap the second towel around yourself.
"see you in the morning?" yunho asks you as you two exit.
"see you in the morning," you smile and he kisses you.
both of you go to your separate rooms. when you had moved to the heavens, there wasn't a room for you. but of course, a little magic and you instantly had a room. the room had mainly white furniture with a few pieces that were made of concrete as decorative pieces.
just like hongjoong's room, you have patio doors that lead to the balcony. your bed is neatly made (and hardly used since you almost always slept in another room). a few dressers and clothing racks are against two walls with your vanity next to one of the dressers. in one corner, you have a gray bean bag, matching the color of the concrete furniture decor that linger in the room.
you grab clothes from one of the dressers and set them on your vanity table. then, you sit down at the bench at your vanity and grab a small jar of lotion. you open the jar and rub the lotion on before putting your clothes on. then, you go into your private bathroom and get ready for the night by washing your face and brushing your teeth. a little skincare afterwards and then you head out of your room, looking for any of your lovers who are still awake.
you walk down the hallway of the house and stop at the door that leads to mingi's room. you knock on the door before peeking your head in. the room is dark except for the light that emits from mingi's computer screen. you can tell that he has headphones on and is focusing on something, so you decide to not disturb him.
you close the door and walk through the house, passing by a number of different rooms before reaching the other hallway. you knock on another door before opening it, peeking your head in again like you did earlier.
the lights had been dimmed, but you can clearly see yeosang laying on the fluffy rug by his bed with a face mask on his face.
"what is it?" he mumbles, not wanting to move because of the mask.
"almost done?" you ask, walking in with the door closing by itself behind you.
you sit down next to him. "mhm, you can do the honors," he says to you. you carefully take the mask off, and yeosang opens his eyes. "hi."
"hello," you smile. yeosang sits up, taking the mask from you and heads into his bathroom for a second.
you decide to get into his bed and get comfy, ready to go to sleep for the night.
"comfortable?" yeosang asks. you look over and see him standing in the entranceway to his bathroom. he taps his fingers to his face, making sure the product was in his skin.
"you bet," you reply with a smile.
about a minute later, he joins you in bed and snaps his fingers to have the lights turn off.
"do you want to come out with me in the afternoon? i'm going to go shopping," yeosang mentions, "and we could go by the garden," he adds, mentioning one of your favorite places to visit.
you nod, "okay."
"okay," he smiles and kisses you. "sweet dreams."
"goodnight, sweet dreams.”

✧˖*°࿐ABOUT THE AUTHOR
.·:*¨ ailís — 22 — fae/they (okay with girl gendered terms) — bisexual enby ¨*:·.
ꕤ — i’m bilingual, my first language is french but i only write in english (though i might incorporate french in some fics/one shots).
ꕤ — i'm back in school for the first time after dropping out of college four years ago so i'm struggling with keeping my school-work-social-activist life balanced (because yes i also got involved with my university's student committee for Palestine literally during the first week of class). i'm currently a free student, meaning i'm in no particular bachelors program, and i'm hesitating between majoring in art history or photography. i won't be following any posting schedule on here, i write when i have time to and i'm a little bit of a perfectionist so i won't rush myself to fulfill your requests with writing that i'm not satisfied of.
ꕤ — things i like: blueberry bagels with cream cheese, autumn, concert photography, poetry, music (arctic monkeys, lorde, blur, wallows, inhaler, fontaines dc), movies (studio ghibli, nolan’s dark knight trilogy, irish cinema, french cinema), tv shows (peaky blinders, broadchurch, derry girls, true detective, doctor who, the sopranos, new girl), sports (montreal canadiens, liverpool fc, celtic fc, f1), the colour green, europe (but not england or germany), cillian murphy, david tennant, art museums, batman.
ꕤ — i’ve been writing fanfiction for years (it all started with very poorly written one direction imagines on instagram and wattpad when i was thirteen…), improving both my writing skills and my english vocab + grammar along the way. my earliest works available are from 2021 (on ao3) because i’m too ashamed of anything posted before that (and it was also very bad).
ꕤ — i’m very multifandom and will mostly write content related to my most recent hyperfixations. there’s a list down below with all the characters i read and am interested in writing fanfiction for.
Tumblr media
✧˖*°࿐WRITING + RULES
ꕤ — this blog will be mostly dedicated to one shots, blurbs, headcanons, drabbles and maybe short series.
i do write long series on wattpad (and also on ao3 but that one is currently on hold). i’m in the middle of a friends series rewrite with a joey tribbiani x female oc storyline that i’m very invested in (this might be the first multi chaptered fanfic i ever complete). i also started writing a tenth doctor x witch oc au but i’m taking much longer to update this one as it will mostly be original episodes instead of following the doctor who storyline. i also have a tommy shelby x oc fic that’s been on hold for a year that i plan on eventually getting back into writing.
ꕤ — i honestly don’t really care about canon (especially when it comes to stuff like the dc universe). i will always respect identity traits that are important to the character like race, sexuality, disability, etc., but i might get ooc sometimes when it comes to their personalities.
ꕤ — i will try to keep my reader inserts as physically vague as possible except if it’s indicated that the reader is afab. however, i am physically disabled with chronic pain so i might incorporate some aspects related to that in my writing (it will be indicated at the beginning of the post).
ꕤ — i am okay with minors interacting with my sfw writings but if i see anyone under the age of 18 interacting with nsfw stuff you will be blocked. i can’t stop you from reading it but i am not comfortable with you interacting with that content.
ꕤ — requests will be answered once i’m done writing them. i will try my best to do so as fast as possible but i tend to write multiple works at once so if you see me post other things after you sent your request, don’t get deterred. if you send a request i don’t want to write, i’ll reply to the ask to also let others know not to request something similar.
ꕤ — do not translate, copy or publish my work on other platforms without my permission.
!! DO NOT REQUEST !!
major character death (canon or non-canon), underage reader or character, incest, any kink involving fluids, noncon/dubcon, self harm, eating disorders, yandere, abuse, manipulation, butt stuff, cheating/infidelity, a/b/o

20 Questions For Fic Writers
Thanks @sunshine-rudberg for tagging me <3333
How many works do you have on Ao3?
7!
What's your total Ao3 word count?
175,665
What fandoms do you write for?
Young Royals. I used to write for other fandoms ages ago, but have no interest to write for any others right now.
Top five fics by kudos
(The results to this are kinda skewed, because I started posting my stories for users only after Royally Whipped, which drastically influences nr. of hits and kudos).
Royally Whipped
we'll make a home on the cracks (glowing review)
Simon Eriksson hates breeches
All Is Fair In Love and Secret Santa
arm-biting (vindictively)
Do you respond to comments?
I try my hardest, but when I was writing Royally Whipped I was insanely busy and got super behind on replying. So now I have a mountain of comments waiting for me to reply to . I'm trying my best to go through them and keep up with the comments coming in because of should've said no.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
No angsty endings for me. I guess in terms of what was angsty until close to the end, it would have to be glowing review.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Royally Whipped, I'd say. Season 3 completely derailed my plans for that one, so it's much less angsty than originially planned.
Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet. But I guess there's always first time for everything, right?
Do you write smut?
So far, no. Just weirdly suggestive scenes.
Craziest crossover:
Never written one.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. Hope it doesn't ever happen, either.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope! (As far as I know, at least.)
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
In an old fandom, yes. It was fun but also super messy and definitely far from my best work.
All time favourite ship?
Wilmon! No one does it like them.
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
There's a bunch of stuff in my drafts, but most of those are just rouch ideas or random scenes. So no WIP. I'm usually very good at finishing them (though there is an abandoned twilight fanfiction on another website, but I'm not touching that one with a ten-foot pole).
What are your writing strengths?
Questions like that always throw me off, because I genuinely don't know. But I think I'm pretty good at coming up with metaphors for my characters feelings that are hopefully not too cringy to read.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I ramble. A lot. Other writers could probably tell my stories in three chapters and be done. I'm unable to do that. Also too many details in general. Pretty sure I overuse and repeat certain words all the time. Generally just don't know how to make anything concise.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
I don't mind it when reading fanfic (actually barely notice), but personally choose not to use it. If the story is set in Sweden, then imo they're already speaking Swedish with each other, so no need to have them say Swedish words.
First fandom you wrote in?
Twilight lmao
Favourite fic you've written?
You're asking me to decide between my children??? Okay, I'll give it a shot. I think Royally Whipped will always have a special place in my heart because I wrote it in such a chaotic phase of my life. But I also really, really love Simon Eriksson hates breeches (I think it's very funny ngl) and had the best time writing glowing review.
No pressure tags @hergrandplan, @wilmonsfolklore, @gulliblelemon, @nerdyfangirl76, @iwouldnevergetintofanfic & anyone else who wants to do this (I could tag so many amazing people, but I have no idea who's already been tagged, other than those along side me)!

Moulin Rouge Discotrain AU (part nine)
Summary: (Post-game canon) The Conductor and DJ Grooves agree to finally work on a movie together. They come up with 'Moulin Rouge', a musical drama filled with romance. Over time the two directors grow closer and discover that maybe they don't hate each other as much.
Beginning | Previous | Next
Word count: 555
Warnings: None
Author's notes: I wrote this earlier today because I want to get to Conductor's casting. But the chapters with him and Grooves being cast were too close together so take this. Not the best I could've done but better stuff will come soon. Enjoy. :)
Conductor scanned over what he'd planned for the end of the movie.
Satine would die in Christian's arms after they'd reconciled their love for one another.
The show would have been performed.
The Duke would end up alone, and almost everyone would get the happy ending they wanted.
Satine would use her final breaths to tell Christian to share their story.
And it would cut back to the narration at the beginning, with Christian using the typewriter.
Conductor flipped back to the beginning of the script and began writing in the opening monologue.
"The Moulin Rouge. A night club, a dance hall and a bordello, ruled over by Harold Zidler," he said as he wrote it down.
"A kingdom of nightmare pleasures where the rich and powerful played with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld."
A floorboard creaked and the Conductor looked up sharply.
Grooves guiltily stood at the side of the room, near the door, almost blending in due to his dark jacket.
"How long have you been there?" The owl asked.
"Long enough to find out you talk to yourself while writing," Grooves said, tone playful as he crossed over and sat down near Conductor.
"I don't always. Just helps sometimes," Conductor mumbled. "Shouldn't you be rehearsing?"
Embarrassment flashed across Grooves' features. "I thought I'd come check on you. I haven't seen you out of your office all day."
Conductor sighed, putting down his pen and resting his head in one hand.
"I'm fine. I've got yer jacket if you still want it back. Sorry I didn't return it sooner."
Grooves shook his head. "Hey, it's my fault for not coming here sooner to get it back."
"Can I be honest?"
"Always."
"It feels weird seeing you out of it," Conductor admitted, a sheepish grin on his face.
"Aw, Connie, you think so?" Grooves laughed, sunglasses slipping down his beak slightly as he leant forwards.
Conductor gently hit the penguin with his free hand.
"Don't call me that," he replied, trying to not start laughing as well.
"What, you don't like it…Connie?" Grooves teased.
Conductor couldn't help the laughter that burst out of him.
"Ha! I knew it!" Grooves shook with laughter.
A knock on the door startled them both as they tried to quieten their amusement.
Conductor strode over to the door, opening it a crack. "Yes?"
"I'm looking for Grooves. Have you seen him anywhere?" Snatcher asked.
Despite what he had said before, the ghost had stuck with his same regal look.
Conductor glanced back into his office, watching as Grooves shook his head.
"No. Did yer check his office?" Conductor lied.
"Not yet. I was about to but thought I should check with you first," Snatcher explained.
"Go on then. I haven't seen him so there's no point in you hangin' around." Conductor shut the door, walking back over to Grooves.
They sat in silence together for a few moments before speaking.
"Why did you really come here?" Conductor asked gently. Grooves sighed, taking off his sunglasses and rubbing his eyes.
"Where the little girl brought in a couple more of her friends, it just- the place feels like chaos. I just wanted somewhere quiet and safe," Grooves admitted, putting his sunglasses back on.
"Well, you can always come to my office if you need it."
"Thanks Connie."

fic tag game
thanks for the tag @kelliealtogether !
How many works do you have on ao3? 106
What’s your total ao3 word count? 677,888
What fandoms do you write for? The Raven Cycle/The Dreamer Trilogy, All For The Game
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? The Road To Nowhere / Yes, Coach / Stay / The Bones of You / You go your way, I'll go your way too -- all AFTG fics. it's funny, i feel like i'm more 'known' (for want of a better word) for trc/pynch fics and i've certainly written more of them, but almost all of my aftg fics are considerably more popular if we're going by kudos.
Do you respond to comments? i used to reply to every single one without fail but it started to make me really really anxious at a time when i was writing a multi-chapter fic, because some comments really don't warrant a reply, but i got into a mindset of 'well if i reply to one comment i have to reply to all of them' and then i realised that i don't, actually! also i'm allergic to notifications so as soon as i read them i mark them as read, which makes my brain happier but also means i'm more likely to forget to reply. i always reply if someone asks a question, and i do try to at least reply to the first chunk of comments i get on a new fic though!
What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? probably burning bright right 'til the end
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? head over heels immediately comes to mind. also kick start my rock and rollin' heart. but tbh almost all my fics have happy endings, that's just how i roll. (also a lot of them are short oneshots that are less about narrative and more about vibes, so they don't all necessarily feel like they have endings as such!)
Do you get hate on fics? nope, i've been pretty lucky so far!
Do you write smut? i very occasionally write smut-adjacent lmao, but not really
Do you write crossovers? no, they don't really interest me
Have you ever had a fic stolen? i hope not!
Have you ever had a fic translated? yes, one. i've been asked quite a lot as well and my answer is that i'm fine with my fics being translated (with credit obviously) but only if they're being posted on ao3, i don't want them on any other site.
Have you ever co written a fic? nope 
What’s your all time favourite ship? i mean i've definitely written more pynch than anything else, but i ship a lot of things!
What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? i don't wanna say that i'll never finish any of the fics i've started in earnest -- if i liked an idea enough that any of it all made it out of my head and onto a page then there's hope for it in the future. i'll get to them when i get to them!
What are your writing strengths? dialogue. it always comes the easiest to me. a lot of my fics start from conversations that popped into my head, then i get to write the situation to get that conversation to happen which is the tricky part!
What are your writing weaknesses? everything else! idk, world-building i guess? i don't think i'm that great at descriptions. i can do all the internal character feelings and emotions and stuff, it's just the external that i stuggle with.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? i haven't done it but i'm not like, against it?
First fandom you wrote for? technically lotr before i knew what fanfiction was, and i printed it out lmaoooo. i have no idea what happened to it i think i probably threw it away.
Favourite fic you’ve ever written? at the minute? Caught By The Light. ask me tomorrow and my answer will probably change!
not sure who's already been tagged, so if you haven't yet and you wanna do it, consider yourself tagged!

not take ALL THE TIME to reply,,, (well not more than a week cause i might be worried) but i totally see that for Zuko and I applaud for your vision. I'm personally a spiteful cold edge snarky person with a smidge of hot headedness so i would relate more for the reader. I think the combo would be perfect 100%
as for sleeping bag you are right.... my only thought now it's either maybe the reader has a bigger bag because "it's a water tribe thing" or something like that OR share the same tent instead
im also thinking a maybe one sentimental night kind of ordeal (if theyw ere to share the same tent) like a either one of them wakes up for a breath of fresh air then the other wakes up to check up on them (cliche i know). if it were zuko being the person to wake up then maybe before the reader goes out to find Zuko they have conflicting thoughts about checking on him cause their still somewhat "hating" him,,, thoughts like
"Maybe he went to go take a wazz.... nah probably still hungry and is trying to steal my LEFTOVER SOUP.... wait no i would've heard the clanking sounds.... he doesn't sound close at all.... wait what if he's in trouble?? what if he's HURT,,,, hold on he's a firebender he should be fin- wait why am i thinking so hard about this. AHHHHHHHHH fuck it i'm gonna go check on him, i can't sleep knowing where the fuck he is and aang is gonna air bend me to space if anything happens to his only fire bending master"
OOOOOO also at some point (even though this already happened with toph kind of but whatever) maybe in the period where they start to question their feelings and stuff Zuko accidentally burns her hand? i'm thinking like maybe he was thrown off by something she said while putting more heat into the fire pit while she's stirring the pot or something and accidentally makes the fire bigger? thus burning her hand? something like that THEN OUT OF PANIC he runs over to her and grabs her hands and they get this AWKWARD "OH MY GOD THEIR CLOSE TO ME" moment and yeah
I apologize... to the followers who see these walls of texts,,,, im just a very shy person ,,,,,hyguhhh ALSO I HAVE NO WORKT EH NEXT 3 DAYS SO I WILL BE MORE ACTIVE and hopefully have more ideas then <3
HI HELLO! I check tumblr pretty much daily, and asks show up in my phone’s notifications, so I’ll reply as soon as I see them. The only times I’m really away for long periods of time is when I’m either really busy or have really bad writer’s block, which I actually did have before this request, haha. But even then, I usually glance at tumblr. Either way, you won’t have to worry about me vanishing.
The tent thing is great, I love that. They should totally be forced to share a tent. I do like the accidentally burning thing as well, since reader is a waterbender and can also heal herself. It could be a good opening to break down the walls between them. He’s fussing over her burn and they start to open up to each other a little bit. Could be good. 👀
Hahahaha my followers (of which there are way more than I ever expected to have now, we’re nearing 1K) know what they signed up for when they followed me, I’m known to post random bullshit related to whatever I’m fixated on, but I don’t think they’ve ever seen me liveblog the plotting of a story with an anon. They’re all sweethearts, though, and I treasure each and every one of them. They’re why I do what I do, I love writing and creating things people really enjoy.
I also have nearly 2k words written of the first chapter, and it’s going swimmingly. Not done yet, it’ll probably end up being maybe around 5-6k words? And that’s just the first chapter. Jesus, this thing is gonna be long, but it’s okay, I’m having fun.
Oooh! Exciting! Having time off work is always nice. I kind of had time off this last week because I had Covid, but that just made me get cabin fever really fast. Anyway, I look forward to the ideas coming through. I’ll definitely be around in the coming days, so don’t worry about that. I’m a college student, so I do have class from Tuesday to Thursday, but I’ll have plenty of time to write and chat about the story. I always have my phone on me, so don’t worry. I’ve grown to anticipate receiving asks from you anyway. :)

Didn’t get to comment before ao3 crashed, but the new chapter was sooooo good, Scoops!! I’m so into Ciera and her story, she’s an awesome character (so far, keeping my expectations open). I’m really enjoying the way her friendship with George is developing (the whole genuine smile thing and him being there for her when she was in a low spot were nice to see). Full transparency, I tend to stay away from “love triangle” stuff bc of the norm of constantly pitting people against each other, so I was rather anxious going into jot in the beginning. But every chapter you’ve published so far has felt like a nice step away from that. You’ve given so much life and character to Ciera outside of her being another “love” interest, and I love that.
I also really love the way you’ve written George’s sexuality experience and journey so far. I’m trying to keep my ask as spoiler free as possible in case you happen to wanna post a reply to this, but just like. Yes. George’s little sexuality ordeal this chapter was so well written.
Your writing is awesome, Scoops!! You never fail to impress me :D (also, since I didn’t get to comment it: as always, thanks for writing this amazing fic ^~^)
Hi Ocean!! Spoilers under the cut :D
Really inconvenient for this hate group to attack AO3 on a day when I'm uploading...
Yay I'm glad you liked Ciera, she was never meant to be true competition here. The most important thing to me was that she felt like a real person and she has motivation and plans of her own. She's doing this for a reason and not just to "be sexy" or "get a man" or even to "get Dream" and to me, that's why she's not really competition, because she hasn't put herself there. She doesn't want Dream's affection or feelings. George doesn't understand this, especially at first, because to him, why wouldn't someone want Dream? He very innocently doesn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be with Dream. More on this later, lol.
It was important to me that this didn't feel like a love triangle for the sake of a love triangle. Dream and George are very much in love from the beginning--it's just going to take George a bit extra time to figure that out because he's been soooo deeply repressing any feelings he needs to figure out.
We are currently one step into George's little crises, with more to go. He isn't done figuring out the feelings yet!!
Thank you for being so kind! I'm glad this story has been well-received, I was a little nervous about it. I know how this fandom can be when you introduce a woman into the mix, but everyone has been super nice so far <3 More to come. Thank you for reading :D

“You think…you know what I don’t care what you think, get lost Anna. Next time, don’t interfere.” “Next time…believe me Jethro if you try assisted suicide again, I won’t stop you. Consider this in honor of my sister’s…affection for you. It won’t happen again. In fact give me a reason and I’ll put you in the ground here and now.” He walked away from her heading back out to the main street to get his team. “Walk away Jethro, bury this if you want. I’m not going away.” “Go to hell Anna.” “After you,” she whispered.

Hi again! ❤️🥰 ok here's my response to the other reply post! First off I know it was like a week ago but I hope your puppies are alright🫢🫢🥲 One of family's dogs absolutely hates storms because someone was an asshole to hunt before we adopted him and we think he use to be locked up outside all the time even when it wasn't safe😭 but it's ok he's getting lots of love now!! But he's still scared of loud noises and always scurries to cuddle my mom when they happen! All the cuddles to the precious babies🥰🥰 and yeah!! Inspiration!!
And yes school can be stressful, but I'm hoping it will be worth it!! And dispute the stress I generally am having a good time because I do enjoy learning, just not grades😂😂 and omg yes, I'll like sit down to take a break from my work and the when I finally stop again it'll be like three hours later instead on thirty minutes and I only have an hours to finish my work😂😅
And yes!! I absolutely loved part three🥰🥰🥰 and I know what you mean about having the whole chapter figured out in your mind but not being able to write it😂 I've do that too. I have the entire plot for a series stuck in my head but when I go to put it on paper I realize that I can't just write the dialogue and like people don't automatically just pictures the scene I've made in my head and I have to add more details😂😂 and it definitely was a neat approach!! YEAHHHH!! Let's "fix" baby Lenny!!!😂😂 
Yes yes yes!! So many things I've seen or heard or even done myself have been inspiration for fics! It's kinda fun too, like it's a little Easter egg for readers to find. 😂 I kinda wanna play a treasure hunting game and say "which scene or conversation is something that I've done in real life? Whoever can figure out the most gets and internet hug"😂 
And you know it'a kinda funny because even though I'm always nervous about interacting, you're right. Anxiety plays a huge deal in like me kinda holding back from interacting even though nothing bad ever happens! Similar to you, I think I get it into my head a lot that I'll bother them for one reason or another and I think it is because I've been rejected before or I didn't fit directly in with one group. I can honestly get along well enough with most people but when it comes to getting close, I've never really found someone outside my family to really do that with. But I do really like coming in here and chatting with you and I do think we clicked too and I don't think I've ever been nervous about something in a response I've seen to you! 🥰🥰🥰 And you know what, even though I get anxious about interacting, I enjoy doing it and like you and everyone else is very nice! I still think like 80% of my longest interactions like between us are on anon, but you know what I think chatting with you has helped me change that a bit!!! I actually have been interacting with people a bit more and like trying to make comments or do the asks off anon and like trying to do less of the post and run off thing I think I do a lot😂 And even if I still kinda hide back at times, because sometimes it is just fun to sit back and watch, even just leaving a comment on someone's work has gotten easier! So like, thanks for all your help🥰🥰
And yes yes yes! Lots of progress on stories! I think in my attempts to avoid school works I've hit a bout of motivation and started to like three more things I wanna share! Sometimes I finish one thing and just wanna post it immediately, but I know if I do that I'd be out of stuff a week and I don't wanna go into hiding again yet😂😂
Oh Alfie is absolutely full of potential! He honestly so full of life too (despite Tommy's best attempts😆) and he's such a fun character to write too! I have a good number of idea I wanna use him in even if he's not the main focus😂 like just him being there gives me so many more little plot ideas! And he is absolutely a big fluffy bear... even if he'd be pissy about admitting it😂 Ohh Alfie and Cyril's meeting!! I wanna see that!!🥰 and all I know is that it took five minutes for little Charlie and Ruby to try to ride Cyril when they first met! I'm sure Tommy was like so scared (internally of course) because he wasn't sure how the dog would react, especially given who his owner was, but like no. Cyril is the gentlest best boy and just lets himself be climbed all over. Ruby tries to stick her hand in his mouth while petting him and even though her parents think she's about to loose a hand, Cyril just kinda holds his mouth open refusing to bite even gently close his mouth. He probably took all the rough basically hitting pats from the small children like a champ and never growled, only moving his head away he when they'd almost stick him in the eye😂  and you bet your ass it took a single treat from them for him to follow them around all day and become the best guard dog ever! I've got a feeling he'd gonna become like Nana from Peter Pan who's always watching the children and protecting them😂 I also like to imagine that when Cyril did go back to Alfie, they'd find another mastiff puppy (or two) "mysteriously" sent to the house a few weeks later. OMG OR What if the kids knew Cyril went back to Alfie (or his original owner as Tommy would tell them) and they like wanted to know he was alright and basically persuaded  (forced) their dad to send letters to Cyril asking him if he was alright what he was doing that week. And I also know very well that Alfie would probably send letters back as Cyril just to annoy Tommy that he (or Cyril) had a relationship with the kids😂😂😂 nothing better than Pirate Godfather Alfie😂😂😂 but I digress 😅
Oh and Jonathan is absolutely a great to see😂😌 even if he is a little a lot coocoo😂 And I think besides the demonic scarecrow hiding in his head half the time he's defiantly got a side he doesn't show 🤣🫣 And YES!! That's the scene!! When he goes "the bat-man" and like runs his fingers though his hair 🤭🫣🤭 Again I know he's crazy but I freaking love that scene! It also makes me laugh so much in that one but later how Batman is like threatening him and grabs his cheeks and just *squish*😂😂 it's just so funny to me anytime someone squished a grown man's cheeks, especially if the character is usually serious or broody😂and ohh! I can't wait to see that request!
And yeah I agree! I did like Tony Stark in Marvel, but him and Jude Law in Sherlock was just 😘 AND YES! I always love seeing actors in different shows or movies! It's like where's Waldo😂 I think what have it away to me though was his voice when he spoke for the first time😂  hey any reason to rewatch the movies is a good one I say!😂
And ohh I'll have to look it up and see if I can find anything about it!
And yes! Nail stamping is super fun even though I really am not too good at it and can only do my left hand😂😂 and it is defiantly harder than it looks and you usually have to take it off the plate pretty fast! Like you have to dab it above the stencil and then scrape it and I like drop the stencil immediately to roll it on the stamp. Once it's on the stamp you can slow down a bit if you want to get any excess off but you need to get it on before it dries on the plate! Then you can roll it off onto the nail because despite the name I've realized if I press it down like a stamp it tends to mess up the design 😂Also (unlike I did for the first few tries😅) I'd say check to make sure the protective plastic film that may be over the plates is gone! Some of them have like that kinda clear film they put over new screens to keep them from getting scratched and you have to pull it off or the polish wont actually sink into the etching it's so thin! And also yes! You do need to get nail stamping polish specifically for it! Otherwise it will be to thin or dry to fast to actually use it or it smears! And it takes a few tries but even that is kinda fun to do!🥰🥰
Ohh isn't it!! Revlon is definitely one of my favorites! I usually have a few like tubes of it around my room or car or purse so I always have one😂
And ahh sending all the concert fairies 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️ That'll be so much fun!!!! Adele is defiantly an amazing artist! What are your favorite of her songs! And Thomas Rhett is very much an American Country writer so he like sings similar to a lot of the stuff I'm grew up hearing😂But he's got a lot of good songs too like "Unforgettable" "Marry Me" "T-Shirt" "Sixteen" and "Life Changes". I really like his ones that are kinda about his life like "Life Changes" but if you read the lyrics they're so cute and I think he writes a lot of his songs with his wife in mind and that's just adorable to me😂🥰 And I think your friend have very good taste 😂 and fingers crossed for Westlife🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
As always it was a pleasure chatting with you! And ohh I think that would be a lot of fun!!😆🥰🥰🥰 
You also have a great and safe weekend too!!🥰🥰
Hello hello! ☺️ I’m faster his time around!
Thank you! She is, she just doesn’t like thunders I don’t understand how she feels but si hug her and have my arms around her, and she’s still shaking 🥺 she kept me a good part of the night up… oh no! Poor baby! Must be so scary after such a horrible experience, it it’s lovely how you are showing not all humans are like that and I’m sure your pup feels all the love ❤️
I’m so happy to hear you say that! Because well I don’t want to sound like a mom or aunt (but I will do anyway 😂), school is so damn expensive and lots of people can’t pay for it and I just feel sad to see some (not you of course!), who doesn’t make out the most out of it, -then of course are other factors, I just read on the news an engineer quit his job in my country due to poor salary and went to work in a chicken company in Canada and is earning four times his old salary 😭-, haha I know! I swear I’m just going to watch this video and then boom, is almost midnight! Haha
Now I need to start working on part four! Can’t believe it, but first a couple of Cillian and Tommy stories 😁 but yes it happens some times, ohhh I hope you are able to write your idea down! Maybe start with a little snippet and go from there? You’re SO right about adding the details! It gives the reader the opportunity to “be there” if that makes sense, like make us part of the story to see what’s happening. Hahah loved your fix this baby Lenny comment ! 🤭 he’s so serious he needs to relax sometimes…
Oh I LOVED when real life inspires fanfiction! Like a meme I saw, we’re worse than lawyers 🤭 everything you said can and will be used in a story 😂 that sounds like an incredible game!!! So fun! Haha
No,trust me, I understand, there might be a lot of things that causes your anxiety and I’m not trying get into professional mode, but I can assure you this is a safe place for you, (sometimes it takes me some time to reply I don’t know if this triggers your anxiety? Or is it just fear of something else? Just want to know, to not cause you any trouble), oh wow I wrote about it but I deleted because I didn’t want to point it out in case that was the cause.. but now that you mention it, makes sense and I understand even more now, for example when I was in high school/college I didn’t drink, while the group of people I hanged out with always tried to pressure me to drink, it wasn’t my time and I’m not saying there’s nothing wrong with that, what’s wrong is trying to force someone to do what we want, sure I drink a glass of wine every now and then but because I want to. I truly hope you have found someone else besides your family 🥰 Idk, have you tried a group with the same interest you have? Like an activity you enjoy? That’s lovely it makes me so happy to see you feel comfortable to come here and chat (just wish it could be face to face!) with me. Really? Have I helped you somehow? 🥺 that’s the best thing I’ve ever heard! Oh and I totally get what you mean, if the anon world works for you, then it’s just fine, as well as the non-anon interactions ☺️ whatever makes you feel comfortable!
That’s just amazing isn’t it? Wohoooo big kudos for the progress, so you’ve been on a writing spree? I’m trying to do that have a couple of chapter/stories as backup because I’m taking longer to write haha so you’re doing good :)
Alfie is a gem! He’s beautifully portrayed, everything about him is perfection ! Oh please do, the fandom needs more Alfie content haha (I’ve one Tommy/Alfie story saved in my drafts, maybe one day I will post it…) I’m weak for Cyril hahah can’t help myself ❤️❤️❤️ loved what you wrote about the kids and Cyril! You should turn it into a Drabble at least 🥰 is adorable! I was hoping they would mention some of Cyril in the last season… something we will never know, (whoever finds Steve on the street please ask him!), aww please letters to Cyril sounds like the perfect little story! You should write it! Why did I picture Alfie reading the letter out loud to Cyril while they are sitting by the window looking at the Margate sea? And stopping to explain things he thinks the dog wouldn’t understand
Who do you think is more coocoo? Jonathan or Ripner? Haha that would be quiet some battle.. I think Jonathan would have some kind of kinky fetish ?
Tumblr media
I had to quickly run to watch the scene because I didn’t remember it! He’s funny at times, when you compare that scene vs when he’s all bossy in the “death or exile?” Part he’s totally different right?
Tumblr media
I was hoping Jonathan would like snap Batman’s hand away or something but now thinking about it, I think he’s kind of imitating the joker somehow? Gives me those vibes too… oh that request is complete and posted! 🤗 Phew I only have one ancient request now, the rest are kind of recent.
I mean Jude Law nailed it! I really liked their dynamic, and I just saw he has a role in a new Peter Pan movie that’s on Disney+ he looks so good in the promo! You have a good point! Sometimes some roles are so blurry we don’t even recognize the person behind it, for example the Virgin River actor, Matt (something God I forgot his last name), he did a beautiful role in a Movie with Jennifer Gardner and Eugenio Derbez, and he also acts in Womanizer music video of Britney and I’ve seen both and never realized it was him! But other actors get stuck too,for example I’m watching Hawaii50 (I love that series), and the blonde police Danny acted also in Ocean’s twelve (the series), but McGarrett I don’t think I’ve seen him anywhere else (just one movie he did ages ago with Jennifer Lopez), I’m sorry I suck with the titles haha if you’re interested in any of that I can look for the titles :)
Yeah, I really need help to be able to do it, wish it could be easier tho, because it looks amazing! Or at least in some videos I have seen they make it look so easy… yes, luckily my protective film comes like a shade of blue otherwise I’d try to use the plate just like that haha I’m a bit clueless 🤭 the girl who used to do the stamps for me, told me once it was easier to use like the stamps that are made for the entire nail (like a bigger template) instead of the tiny hearts haha but I didn’t know there was specific nail polish for those, perhaps that’s the key!
I should remember to keep one in my purse to wear it more often! Tomorrow I’m having lunch with my friends so Iwill make sure to keep one close!
Thank you!!! Those fairies definitely gave me luck! I can’t wait for the concert 😍 “when we were young” is amazing, but also “All I ask” ugh 😭 “Go easy” is an anthem for me, chasing pavement and one and only also are incredibly good! Out I do like country! Perhaps you’ve heard of Luke Bryan? Jason Aldean and Brad Preasly are others I like to listen. Agh thanks for the recommendation! I’m will be listening to those tomorrow while working :) thanks I’m going to see them as well! See ? You brought me good luck!
I think the same! Thank you for the chat, I still owe you one more reply from a previous message, so I’m hoping to catch up on that tomorrow too :)
Hope your week is going alright and you’re having a lovely day GG, take care and see you around 🥰

I'm trying to write for the first time, but I am scared to even post it. Do you have advice for first time writers like me? Also, love your Growing Strong fic! It's so well done. I always look forward to when you post a new chapter <3
First, I just wanna say that I’m honored that you’re asking for my opinion🥲🖤 Second, thank you so much for reading Growing Strong! That is very sweet of you to say😊 And third, congrats on taking the leap to write! Just this time last year, I had yet to be active on here, so I know the leap can be scary, but it has also been super rewarding.
I could probably go on and on about all the stuff I’ve learned, but I’ll try to keep this short and succinct so it’s more digestible to read.😅 But if you have any follow up questions, or want me to address something more specific that I didn’t mention, please do not hesitate to send me another ask, or even message me. I will gladly talk til the cows come home if there’s even a chance something I say could be of use.
1) Before I mention anything else, in case this resonates with you as much as it does me, my most important piece of advice is this: comparison is the thief of joy. I’m 100% guilty of looking at the stats of other fics on here and AO3 and internally putting my own works down or just feeling bad about myself because of it. It might be tempting to look at other fics to kinda gauge where your own in standing in terms of interaction from others, but I really recommend not doing so if you can help it.
2) On the flip side of number 1, don’t be afraid to look at other fics and see what works. Before anyone @s me, I’m not talking plagiarism. But concepts. For example, an Aemond X OC enemies to lovers fic? That would probably be received well, since it’s a popular trope in a popular fandom right now. But even more technically, don’t underestimate the power of tags. See what tags other authors are using for similar fics in the fandom. That’s gonna be the best way to get the fic out there and seen, especially here on tumblr.
3) Edit and proofread. I’m sure this is an obvious one. But (coming from a reader perspective) this can be a uch an underrated asset to a fic.
4) Don’t get yourself feeling down if there’s not an immediately overwhelming response to your posted fic. If there is, that’s great! If not, that doesn’t mean anything at all, I promise! Depending on the fandom, where the fic is being posted, and how frequently updates for ongoing stories are being uploaded, it can take some time to get a following for it. This is also something I’ve been guilty of. But, if your fic is out there, eventually, people will find it.
5) Respond to comments/asks/even reblogs with commentary. (Unless they’re downright negative and counterproductive. I would not recommend entertaining any of those with a response. Fortunately, I don’t think things like that are frequent much at all.) But if someone leaves a compliment, reply back, even if it’s just to say thanks!😊 When I leave a comment on a fic I really enjoyed, and the author takes a moment to respond, it literally can make my day.
6.) Make some mutuals. A lot of the earliest friends I made on here were authors writing in the same fandom, and even just fellow readers. This is not a requirement by any means, but I can’t understate the value of having people to talk about fandom things with. You can bounce ideas off one another, etc. Plus, friendships formed from a mutual love of something is just👌🏻🖤 And if you already have some mutuals, ask them if they’d like to take a look at what you’ve got going on and if they would be willing to provide some feedback😊
7.) Write for yourself. This is probably related to several of the points I’ve already made, but it can’t be said enough. If you want to write because you truly want to, I believe it’s best to do it for yourself. You might end up spending a lot of time writing something, so it might as well be something that makes you happy. If you only write for likes (nothing against people who do) you might get burned out, and be unable to take any joy from it. But if you write something you love, anyone else who also enjoys it will be icing on top of the cake, since you already made yourself happy by writing it.
8.) Have fun with it. Life is too short not to.

Hi, it's me again! If it's ok, can I ask for D11 + Pin for the Freddy Carter event, please? And if you don't mind, can it be platonic, please? I always have a soft spot for platonic fics (I think you noticed this by now...) and I love how you write those!
FREDDY EVENT, send in requests for any of Freddy Carter's characters (NOT the man himself (= no Freddy Carter (the real person) x readers), only his characters)!! The event will be on for an indefinite time, if you're unsure, see if the event post is pinned. If it is, then it's still on. (Other requests are open too, but they go to my normal to-do list which I'm not able to start doing til March at earliest)
I bought 16 books at the start of the year so it's a relevant topic XD My head pounded as empty though when I tried to start this so this might feel a bit random, but I hope you like it anyway! It wasn't all about books in the end anyway, my first idea was them being in a bookshop together and Y/N buying a big pile of books but it didn't carry.
Prompt: D11. Books
Word count: 818
Tumblr media
Your favorite way to past time, beside horses, had always been reading. You'd found a book in the library you had been drooling for months, but it had been sold out everywhere, and now you were quick into devouring it. You snuggled up at the hay shelter with a blanket as you read a few chapters more. At least you meant for it to be just a few chapters, but you suddenly snapped into reality when you realized that sun had already almost set and that you should have probably headed back to Pin's house hours ago. You hoped that his father wouldn't be mad at you, after all, he had kindly took you in when you came to visit the island from the mainland, despite not seeing you since you were no taller than a fire extinguisher. You and Pin had been best friends until you had to move to the mainland, but you had come back to visit once you saw the picture of the new Duke of the island and recognized the name.
Your stomach let out a loud growl in protest of not eating anything since lunch, and you groaned, climbing down from the hay pile.
"Y/N? What are you doing here this late? We thought you went home, almost everyone else did too," you heard a voice say from the left and you turned to see Pin. You smiled sheepishly.
"Got lost into a book again..." you replied, waving the said book in front of him. "I just get so invested in them, I didn't look at the time, and now I'm hungry. I know missed dinner, sorry."
He chuckled. "Don't worry about it, we all know how it is. I think there's some snacks in the fridge in the tack room, you'll manage with them until the morning. Come on."
You followed him to the tack room, and soon you had a sandwich in your hand and a bottle of fresh juice in the other, gratefully munching away and sipping the cold drink. Pin waited around until you had finished eating, making notes of all the work the team had done that day and after that, you mounted your horses and began riding towards Pin's castle.
"So... any exciting stuff in your book?" Pin asked after riding for a while and you snorted.
"If you keep asking for spoilers, you have soon read the book without reading it. You have to read the book, I refuse from giving away any more."
"Fair enough then," he chuckled.
The sun was setting by the time you reached the castle and you dismounted your horse and led her to the stable, taking off her equipment and giving her some hay and fresh water, before you kissed her goodnight. Pin waited you outside the stall, already having done it with Elvis. You yawned and stretched, trying to find the energy to go upstairs, change into your pajamas and brush your teeth. The thought of that all felt very unpleasant while being so tired. At this point, you weren't so sure anymore if you had been the hero in the story instead of the protagonist, at least she had done a lot during those chapters you had read.
Pin looked amused when he saw how tired you were. "Do you need me to carry you?"
You scoffed and rolled your eyes. "Oh stop it, I'm perfectly capable of going upstairs by myself."
He grinned and nodded towards the front door, where Arthur was already waiting for you. He gave you a friendly smile as you passed him, and you went straight to your room, brushing your teeth and changing into your nightwear. You went to bed and closed your eyes - but suddenly you weren't sleepy anymore. Your eyes automatically drifted to the book peeking out from your bag, and you sighed.
No. You're sleeping. You are not picking up the book, you'll read the whole night again. You nodded at yourself determinedly, pursing your lips and rolled over to forget about the book.
But like many mornings before, when Arthur came to wake you up for breakfast, he found you with your book lying beside your pillow, you having fallen to sleep while reading your book. So he closed the door, deciding to let you sleep for a while longer, already knowing that Pin would agree on that too. They all knew about your severe case of bookwormness, but it wasn't a bad thing. Pin liked hearing you rambling about your favorite characters, and everyone else at the stables had so gotten used to you sitting somewhere quiet with your book that it would feel weird not seeing you like that for longer than a week.
You just were part of their days, even when you hadn't been on the island for a long time now, but you had quickly grown to be one of them.
Pin taglist for Freddy event: @scandalous-chaos @brekkers-desigirl @mentallynotstableghost // send in an ask to be added, and specify which of Freddy's characters do you want to be tagged on! (This taglist is for Freddy event only, I won't take character taglists for anyone else than Freddy's characters)
