can you write something to rowaelin based on the song lost without you by freya ridings please 🥺 i love ur fanfics

This was supposed to be angst but it ended up being only a it angsty and a little fluffy? Idk, it’s quick and I think it’s cute. I would have posted earlier but I wanted my friend’s opinion first. Hope you like it!

Lost without you

Rowan knew he and his girlfriend were different.

He had known since the moment they had met, and every second after it.

Rowan was quiet, usually kept to himself. He liked nothing more than to study anything related to law and spend time with his girlfriend. Aelin, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She was lively, cheerful. She was constantly dirty with paint, constantly sweaty after working with her sculptures. They had started dating in the beginning of junior year in high school, and the difference had never been something bad.

Until that Friday.

That day, as Rowan stared at his acceptance letter into Orynth College— the best college he could go to if he wanted to do pre law—, the difference weighted on him.

Weighted on him because Aelin wasn’t going with him.

She had gotten her acceptance letter the same day he had, but it had been a different one. A program, she had been offered, to travel the world and learn from some of the best artists alive. It was an extremely rare and exclusive program, and the fact that Aelin had gotten in made him so, so proud. He knew she wouldn’t—couldn’t— let it pass.

And that broke him.

Broke him because his girlfriend was going to leave for four years, and he didn’t know what to do. Neither of them liked the idea of a distance relationship, and there was only one other alternative then.

Breaking up.

Rowan loved Aelin like he had never loved anyone else, and he knew she loved him just as much. He thought it would have been easier if they didn’t love each other as much, thought it would have been easier if it was just a high school fling, but imagining his life without Aelin’s cheerfulness and mirth made his chest crack. Imagining his life not loving Aelin was brutal.

The following days had been hard. As both of them accepted the entrance, it looked like they were drifting apart more and more everyday. They tried to desperately hold onto each other, savor the last weeks together for the next four years. Rowan took her to every place they had ever been in a date, and Aelin drew hundreds of sketches of them. They tried to act like the loving couple they were, tried to joke around as if she wasn’t about to leave in two weeks. But it weighted on both of them, and they only let it show during the nights when they held onto each other so strongly sometimes it left bruising marks.

Now, standing on the platform Aelin was going to catch the train to Banjali, he wished he had held her a little while longer. She was hugging her parents and Aedion. She had already said goodbye to Lysandra, the brunette smiling at her best friend but tears rimming her green eyes.

“If you stop calling, we will hunt you down, fireheart.” Rhoe said, only half jokingly. He gave one last kiss on his daughter head and jerked his chin in Rowan’s direction.

The moment Aelin turned to him, her face crumpled a little, tears rolling down her cheeks. Wordlessly, he pulled her into a hug, peppering her head with kisses as she buried her face on his chest. “I will miss you so much, Ro.”

“I’ll miss you, too, fireheart.” He said, the words feeling too big in his tight throat. “I’ll miss you so, so much.”

“I’ll come back, you know? In four years.” She sniffled. Face still on his chest. “And I would never ask you to wait for me, but please don’t forget me. Or treat me like a stranger when I come back.”

“I would never, Ace.” He said and she cried harder. Aelin had always been close to her family and to Rowan and Lysandra. To be letting all of them go at the same time must have been brutal for her. Rowan wished he could do something, make her feel better in some way. But he also knew Aelin was strong and even though she was hurt right now, she would be happy eventually.

“I would stay. If you asked me, I would stay.” She said quickly through the tears. Rowan’s chest constricted, and a selfish part of him wanted to ask. Wanted it so bad. He wanted to have his girlfriend in the same college as him, doing all college shit together. He didn’t want things to change, and he knew that in that moment, if he asked, she would stay.

But he also knew that she was saying that because it was hurting, and also knew she would regret it later. And she wouldn’t regret Rowan, but herself. And Rowan wouldn’t be able to live seeing her regret the past everyday because he had been selfish.

“Do you wanna see the world, Ace?” He asked softly, his voice not that sad anymore.

She raised her face to look at him. It was pinkish, a few strands of her golden hair stuck on her cheeks because of her crying. Gently and smiling, Rowan rubbed his thumbs on her cheeks, taking away the strands. She closed her eyes, savoring his touch. Even crying, Aelin was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

“I want to see the world.” She said opening her turquoise and gold eyes, voice firm.

“Then go.” He smiled at her again, leaving her embrace. She smiled sadly at him, but five minutes later she raised her chin, puffed her chest and got into the train.

And then she left, Rowan watching her go to conquer her dreams. The whole world if she wished.

And Rowan felt so, so lost in that instant.

————————

It had hurt like a bitch.

Rowan had never felt so lonely and cold. Had never felt so lost without her.

Aelin was a walking flame, burning wherever she went. And now that she had left, Rowan realized how used he had gotten to her presence, how much he loved her.

Much more than he had realized before.

Rhoe put an arm around his shoulders, taking Rowan away from the platform. Rowan was glad Rhoe was there as they walked home. If not, Rowan might have bumped into so many pedestrians, normal people just wanting to go home to their own lives, completely unaware of the girl who had left minutes ago in a train.

“She’ll come back.” Evalin, Aelin’s mom, said.

“Yeah, I know.”

“And she’ll be pissed if you spend four years single and moping.” Aedion muttered, and Rowan scoffed.

“I know that too.”

When Rhoe and Evelin dropped him off at home, he went straight to his room. His fingers itched to call her, but they had agreed that for their break up to be effective, they had to distance themselves a little, at least in the beginning.

He just stared at his ceiling. And stared, and stared and stared.

He loved her so much, and missed her just the same. Rowan knew he was in love with Ace, but missing her made him realize just how much.

He had been quiet and sad for the next few days. A little bit better the next week.

And slowly, Rowan learned how to live without her.

He would go out, he would laugh and joke with his friends. He busted his ass off studying for the next four years, always thinking about the LSAT.

He went on a few dates. Dated a girl named Lyria for a few months, a girl named Remelle for a few weeks.

Even when his life was back at normal, when it had been years since Aelin had left, a part of him still held on to that love he had felt when they were younger. It was hidden in the deep of his mind, a dormant part of it. He would think of her from time to time, smile at their memories and even feel a pang of sadness, but it didn’t feel like it was going to consume him.

Rowan had never forgotten her, and she made sure of it. They didn’t call, not once in four years, and she had never come to visit. But to every city Aelin went, to every beautiful place she visited, she would sketch a small postcard and send it to him. Never with a message, no pictures of her or whatever she was working on. Just the sketches and the name of the place in the back.

A reminder. She hadn’t forgotten him either.

By now, Rowan had hundreds of sketches, all inside a box under his bed. He would sometimes look through them, seeing how her drawing was improving. He remembered that sculpting had always been her area of expertise, and to see her drawings become so flawless made his chest burst in pride. He would smile every time a new handmade postcard arrived, and would eagerly wait for the next one.

Rowan would have never forgotten Aelin, even if she disappeared for ten years and didn’t give him any news.

But he had to admit, he loved to know that she was thinking of him from time to time, too.

—————————

“Rowan Whitethorn, future lawyer.” Aedion smiled, clapping his best friend on his shoulder. “Sounds rather adult-y, doesn’t it?”

Rowan laughed, taking off his green cap. Today had been their graduation day, all his friends receiving their diplomas in different areas. Some of them were ready to go to work, like Lorcan and Vaughan. But he was going to law school now, the same way Fenrys and Aedon were going to med school.

“We are adults, Aedion.”

“Don’t you ever repeat those cursed words!” He said, and Rowan laughed again. “I have the soul of a dumb eighteen year old. Forever. End of story.”

“I’m sure Lysandra is delighted by the fact.” Lorcan said, and Rowan almost laughed at the vision of his friend. It was probably the first time Rowan had seen Lorcan in something that wasn’t black, and bright green and silver silk weren’t really his thing.

“Even if he acted like an adult, Lysandra would still be miserable.” Fenrys added, a smile on his lips as Aedion tried to smack him. Vaughan and Connall only shook their heads, laughing quietly.

“Ok, ok. Now the present for the grad.” Aedion said, and all of them turned to Rowan, almost scary smiles on their faces.

“We already gave out presents. And they were terrible, by the way.” Rowan said, confused. “Who the fuck needs a bright red silk underwear, Fenrys?”

Fenrys smile became more sarcastic as the others laughed. “I thought it would bring out the green in your eyes, Roro.”

“I don’t want any more presents from the five of you.” Rowan said, almost pleading.

All their smiles widened further, even Lorcan’s. Fenrys was almost hopping on his feet. Aedion was the one with the biggest smile, excitement almost pouring off of him.

“It’s not our present.” Aedion replied, and his blue eyes shifted for something over Rowan’s shoulder.

Rowan’s brows furrowed and he turned around.

The sight almost made him drop to his knees. There, standing in a plain spaghetti strap black top, tight dark jeans hugging every curve and black heels, was the girl who remained the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Thick golden blonde hair falling in waves until her waist, creamy white skin tanned from her years of travel, pinkish full lips pulled into a huge smile and turquoise and gold eyes gleaming with mirth.

Aelin winked at him, and Rowan’s mouth pulled into an equally big smile.

She held up her fingers, a handmade postcard with the word home in it between them. She flicked her wrist, showing the other side with a sketch of Orynth. “I thought it would be better if I gave this one in person.”

Rowan laughed with so much happiness as he walked back to Aelin.

And Rowan felt as if he had found himself in that instant.

hi i just want to say that i really loved your demo so far i cant wait to read more! as a person of color, i do understand what concerns those another anons have and do not intend to say that those concerns should be disregarded or anything but i feel that perhaps they are, as i saw someone else say, a bit rushed. i mean, we haven’t even met all the characters (such as the most academic person who also happens to be a person of color) and to me, it kinda seemed like they used some generalizations (if thats the correct word, idk sorry im not the most articulate), like no one can deny that youtube and other social media platforms do in fact favor white creators and poc creators do more often struggle with gaining larger followings, but it’s not at all unheard for channels with white people to struggle to gain a large following because in general it is kinda hard to make it big. it just seems unfair to me to expect you to change the whole premise of your game because something that can also happen to white creators happens more to poc creators, yknow? none of this was said with ill intent, but this is just my opinion! i think it would be more fair to judge once we actually start the individual ro routes and get more into the story. i cant wait to read the next part!

I'm glad that you've enjoyed what you've read so far! I entirely understand your intention and I don't think for a second that you're trying to disregard the other anon at all, you just have different opinions and I'll work to take them both on board, hopefully to a place where you'll both enjoy the story!

I truthfully don't know how hard it is to 'make it' on YouTube, I'm not a video maker in the slightest but from people I know who have tried, it seems ridiculously tough. Tougher than it will be in game, I'm sure.

Also, please don't worry about being inarticulate, I thought you got your points across exceptionally well! Again, I'm really glad you've enjoyed the game and I hope you will continue to enjoy it past the demo. It really is just the beginning!

#thank you for your ask!#answered <3 #anonymous

Well I wrote a giant comment about Wattpad, but I do want to show some positive stuff about Wattpad too. Here below is the comment, underneath it screenshots about the positive stuff of wattpad

Wattpad used to be a fantastic place. But they changed their vision and the way how the platform works entirely since late 2019. Only new users are happy with wattpad. All old users (and actually the best writers there) left the platform because it is no longer a place for them. Idk if you should use wattpad. If it was like before I had definitive recommended it, but since their change of vision over 60% left the place. However if you have a story successful on 1/2

andey-moonglow 2/2 wattpad, your name would be known. Back in the days I used Wattpad I was a famous Beatles writer with my best story at 170K reads. on my second account I held I had an original story (no fanfic) going at 40K. idk how the public is now these days, but in the old days, if you got reads, your name was known.

andey-moonglow 3/3 but yeah, IDK how it is now a days with wattpad. If you'd be seen if you write. I discovered Ro downloaded an old version of the wattpad app on my mobile (I do recommend downloading an old version (pre late 2019)) for reading and writing since it mostly carries still the old vision of Wattpad (and no commercials bothering). anyway, You can give it a shot to see if you get reads or not. But know that the old school Wattpad users are mainly gone. (I'm user 3/4)

andey-moonglow (4/4 since January Second 2013 and have seen The very start of Wattpad to what it became in late 2019. They made many developments but the last change of vision ruined them)

andey-moonglow basically after their change of vision I left it. Wattpad's vision used to be "All books free forever" but they broke their promise. Now only 'decent' books are paid stories which isn't cheap. Besides the new wattpad is overloaded with ads. And as a free user you will feel pushed to the side and kinda discriminated for not being able to reach or do things paid people get. that paid stuff is a new thing that came with their new vision and it literally destroyed Wattpad

andey-moonglow If you want to have interaction and inline comments what Wattpad has, but not being on wattpad you can consider Google Documents. You can share documents with it and give readers an opportunity to "only read "react and suggest" or "able to write as well". The problem with Google Docs is, it isn't a social media platform, so you will have to share the story link somewhere else. For example on twitter. When I left wattpad, I did use Google Docs for a bit as 6/7

andey-moonglow 7/7 only decent alternative. It didn't work out for me, because except for Wattpad, I don't have online followers interested in me and what I do. But you do have people who are interested in what you do, so it has a much more chance for you to work

andey-moonglow Perhaps it was more practical I posted this all as a reblog

screenshots of why Wattpad is useful:

Here is my most 'famous story' (in the comments I wrote 170K, but actually it is almost 200K.

You have an overview about readers, votes, comments and everything like that.

in the screenshots above is the OVERVIEW section

Unique readers = 1 month view.

votes = 1 month view

comments = 1 month view

I still don't get why people are stil reading the story while it was from 2016 and we currently live in 2021

next section: ENGAGEMENT

Per part information.

completed read parts = for all time, total in %

votes per part = total votes in total (number)

comments by part = total comments made in total (number)

next section: DEMOGRAPHICS

I don't know the use of this, but it's basically just showing, the gender and age and the countries where your readers come from. It's just fun.

next section: STORY INSIDES:

It doesn't exist yet.

___

and you can just see all your stories and organise them in order:

____

Well I hope this was enough information about Wattpad?

So I’d like to make a living off of my writing. Be an author someday.

But I want to do it less like a traditional author and more like a content creator. I’m posting chapters of my current original WIP as I write them, so people on Kofi can read them before they’re edited and published. And I’m still writing fanfiction and having fun here on tumblr. I want to keep having a lot of interaction with people that enjoy my writing.

But I’m wondering. I have Tumblr, AO3, and Kofi. Is there anywhere else I ought to be? Where there’s a lot of longer-form thought and writing? I’ve seen some very mixed thoughts on wattpad, I’m not sure if I want to brave those waters or not.

#wattpad #shimeji #Yes. Shimeji are on my screen

So i decided to go ahead and put my two cents in on this because why not i'm a human being. 1. Of course it wasnt, however it being online poeple hype it out to be like they hate each others fucking guts. 2. Every company has this. Even roosterteeth. However that didnt stop any of the couples that have met through the company of roosterteeth from dating? So why are you giving steph and jord so much shit? 3. thats somewhat understandable for loosing respect but ' all respect' , jesus christ its not like he completley raised her pay and let her off work every single day because they where dating. 4. & 5. I'm sorry but almost every video i saw her working there? Not to mention i havent seen a dip in there social media she kept it pretty kempt until this whole shit show broke out and she would get hate daily. Would you feel like updating a platform where the comments are telling you how much of a slut you are and how you " ruined the creatures". 6. Again we have no proof of this. I dont expect him to have play by play footage of him sneaking out but for you to try and claim he was sneaking out just to ' fuck" steph as if it were some fuck buddy shit with no spine to walk on , and bring it up when its most irrelivant just to start shit again is childish, and you couldve avoided to whole topic at a hand. 7. Amazing , if you openley admit you got drunk to 'rebel', when before you tried to say that you only had a drink or two or you couldnt drink at all because jordan stopped you as if it were the prohibition. It makes you look hella sketchy. 8. Again opinion , but to be honest you had just started. I'm not gonna work for nasa and on the first week or month make plans for another moon landing. But i understand where he is coming from it can be frustrating not having somewhere to stand on. 9. Honestly same. 10. I dont have really anything to say on this it seems in the past , i dont know why he would bring it up if it was a burtied hatch. Idk why he would bring up this entire fuck fest if it was already a somewhat burried hatch. 11. Of course it is , you think jack septic eye walks around yelling ' TOP OF THE MORNING' to everyone he meets? No ,hes a guy , whos created his online persona. Not to mention again we have no proof of jordan using that word. And i dont mean youd have to film him every single second when he walks around but you cant make accusations like that without a single vertebra to walk on. NOT TO MENTION , cow chop has used and said the word " retarded" a good handfull of times , if youre going ro give jordan shit for 'using' that word , and think its funny when cow chop uses a word as equally offensive , its fucking hypocritical. I'm done. My head hurts. Thats just my take on it. Again i dont think dex is a bad guy however him bringing this" real" old shit up when theyre already getting enough shit , its childish.

「KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. ( REPOST | DO NOT REBLOG ! )」

BASICS NAME: Zen PRONOUNS: she/her SEXUALITY: pansexual TAKEN OR SINGLE: single

THREE FACTS ONE: I first read Tolkien out of spite - and it wasn’t even my spite, it was my mother’s TWO: my longest-running and strongest relationships have all been long distance - my best friend movied to IL when we were 10, and my most recent ex lived in Texas when we met online THREE: my apartment is a game of ‘how many IKEA bookcases can you fit in a 1-bedroom attic (because the walls aren’t all full height) apartment’. So far the answer is four. I still have over a dozen large uhaul boxes full of books in my storage unit. I’m gonna need more bookcases.

EXPERIENCES HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): RP in general: 18+ years, RP online: 15+ years, RP on tumblr: I think I hit 4 years on Vivian this year PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: LARP, tabletop, AOL chatrooms, AIM, Gaia Online, tumblr, Skype BEST EXPERIENCE: The people I’ve met. Hands down the people I’ve met.

MUSE PREFERENCES FEMALE OR MALE: I prefer to play females, but have no preference for playing with. (My muses all have their own preferences, but I don’t) MULTI OR SINGLE (paragraph): The shortest I can consistently do is one or two short paragraphs; I’ve taken a one-liner into a multi para thread within 2 replies. I really don’t do well, especially on certain muses, without the ability to mention the difference between what my muse is thinking verses what they’re saying or doing. Vivian and Ros are the worst when it comes to this.

WRITING PREFERENCES FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: They don’t call me Satan (or co-Satan) for nothing? I love angst. I love natural angst, though - not throwing muses into a completely fabricated situation just so the muns can get their hurt-jollies off. But my muses to one degree or another tend to be prone to angst (*cough*VIVIAN*cough*) and when you put me up against certain other muns who write totally angstybutts (*cough*SatanFish*cough*) the angst just... happens. And I love it because it’s pushed my muse to change and grow, and taught me where her limits are. I also love smut but there’s less of that lately for some reason and IDK why (other than my fear of writing laughable f/f smut). Fluff... feels more like a stopping point for me. I mean, I love seeing my muse safe and warm and happy, I really really do. I just... don’t see the potential for a scene in a shot of Vivian being fluffy that I do in a shot of Vivian hurting, because there’s no push for things to move or change. When you’re happy, you want to stay that way, right? Whereas when you’re hurting, you’re either reacting to the hurt or trying to find a way to make it stop. PLOTS OR MEMES: I have nearly 170 drafts because I turn just about every damn meme into a thread so..... Plus I’m not so good with plots. I’m fine with a series of vague, loose ideas that another mun and I can work within, but actual structured ‘this happens and then this happens and then this happens’ plot? EIther my muses say ‘fuck this’ and do what they want or I just get bored because we’ve already mapped out what the end result is going to be and writing is hard and I’d rather stick to writing things I don’t know how they’re going to turn out. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Like I said, I don’t do short very well, but it’s generally whatever I feel it takes to get my muse’s mindset and actions across while also setting up something or somethings for my partner to reply to. BEST TIME TO WRITE: Late evenings/late night, and often after a glass of wine (I may hate Hemmingway but damn do I live up to his infamous quote). My muses like to wake up at 1 or 2 in the morning and demand to do drafts right then and there. It’s part of why I need to become a professional writer; my sleep/creative schedule just doesn’t work for anything else. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Vivian and I are the most similar, though I find it interesting that I’ll give her a trait or an experience from myself and she’ll react to it entirely differently. Ros is nothing at all like me and I really don’t understand how I love to write her so much, and Duvessa is a pain the fucking ass with how much research I need to do for every aspect of her life, and yet we share things on a larger, meta scale.
