♠︎♤ Please don't be in love with someone else | Hawks/reader : enchanted au, for @/tteodoroki's and @/katsupeach's rom com collab, fluff, angst, drama, → being a single mom isn't easy at any point or aspect, but it's definitely not going to get easier when you wake up to a total stranger claiming to have arrived from a different dimension. At least he makes a great baby sitter

♣︎♧ Over and out p2 | bakugo/ reader: band au, 3rd revamp of an old work of mine, drama, fluff → Bakugo has no idea he's walking into a get drunk with your ex buzzfeed interview, will it be enough to get the two of you back together? Alternatively, katsuki bakugo being a mess around his ex for 20 minutes straight

♠︎♤ Black Box Dye: Shoto/ reader: angst, fluff, smut, college au, quirkless au, parties, heavy drinking, panty theft (as a major plot issue actually) perhaps dark content....→ Shoto will show you how wrong you are for breaking up with him and raise hell and say his fuck you's to his dad. It won't go wrong, big bro Touya has a plan

♣︎♧ And then they were married | Bakugo/ reader: fantasy au, smut, fluff → you and the feisty dragon king finally get married and for your wedding night you realise you might as well be cursed. For there's no other explaination for what you're going through.

♠︎♤ how long | mina ashido/ reader: angst, smut, fwb → the two of you meet like this on nights where everything's gone wrong. For her, it's a day at the agency that got her to her knees and her long for human touch and for you it's finally time to face those feelings that you've been keeping inside you for so long.

♣︎♧ For I've seen the ending and there is no ascending | bakugo/ reader fluff, smut, slice of life → bakugo is a drummer by night, playing at small gigs for the small band in his hometown and by day he poses as a nude model for your art studio. Your two best friends are in love with the singer of his band, when the two of you meet it's only muse and creation.

♠︎♤ And at last over seen the light (and it's like the fog has lifted) | shoto/ reader / bakugo fantasy, tangled au→ shoto has spent all of his life locked in a tower for his brother thinks he's unfit to step to the outside world just yet, and there you are, ruining that already awful afternoon he's having after another fight with his big brother, coming into his life out nowhere. He sees his escape in you and you come to suspect he's the lost prince. Sure the king will be kind enough to reward you so you can pay off your depths. A trip to madness is off to a good start.

♣︎♧ secrets | tomura shigaraki/ reader: smut, cockwarming, humiliation(??)→ you have a secret. Everyone has at least one, even pro heros like you. No one could find out that you meet tomura by the old fabric factory in the old industrial district. Right?

♣︎♧ Falling on each other to fill the empty spaces| katsuki bakugo/ reader: age gap(10 yrs) soft, fluff and smut, dilf bakugo → bakugo is a single dad in his thirties and you're his sons kindergarten teacher. Cue awkward romance and cupid kirishima

♣︎♧ ???? | sero hanta/ reader/ kyouka jiro: threesome, oral (f&m receiving), warnings to be added → it all starts with hanta betting that kyouka would never make a move on you and for once he should have expected what's about to happen

Rules: Bold/color the things that you relate to and then tag some people to play.

I write: daily | most days | a few times a week | a few times a month | random

Lately I’ve been averaging at least 2k words a day but I’ve been in a huge writing mood. I would say on average, I tend to write more days than I don’t but it depends on what is going on. I try not to write if I’m feeling ill or if IRL is hectic. Additionally, if there’s FFXIV patch hype (particularly an even number patch), I’ll get distracted from writing because I’ll be busy playing FFXIV.

Typically I write whenever I feel inspired to. That used to be in the evenings but since I’ve been raiding, it’s usually more like early afternoon/night time.

If I sit down to write and I find the words aren’t coming out, I usually default to playing my Switch instead. So a typical day would have me write several thousand words. On a super productive day, I’ve written full 15 page chapters (Times New Roman, 12 font, 1.5 spacing, no spaces between paragraphs) in a single sitting. It really just depends on what I have going on and what the mood is.

I tend to write scenes: in chronological order with no skipping | mostly in order but with some filler/skipping | whatever scene I feel like | who knows what’s gonna come out????

I used to be hardcore “no scene skipping” as I wrote but I’ve changed my opinion in the last year on that. I used to treat the special scenes I was yearning to write as a reward for dealing with the scenes I didn’t want to write. Now, I write things mostly in order but occasionally I’ll draft out future scenes with the mentality that they will probably change if they end up not flowing well with the full fic. For example, I had written out a version of a flashback scene between Gaius and a young Livia a few weeks ago but I ended up changing it as I was doing research and as I got to the part where the scene would fit in. I don’t typically write scenes out of place that are too far ahead of the fic, however. A couple chapters at best.

Anything emotion or dialogue-driven is easiest for me. Emotion-driven stuff is probably my favorite to write. Or emotional-and-slightly-spooky. Fun fact: In my writing, I used to add a lot of notes about heart rate and I still do sometimes. But most of that stems from the fact that I lived a few years with heart palpitations and had no idea it was abnormal to constantly feel your heartbeat. So that’s fun. It’s all under control now.

I find that I struggle the most with action (namely fight sequences) but I’ve been told my action scenes are still enjoyable to read, so that’s good! It’s hard sometimes trying to put what I’m picturing into words without being too wordy. If the action scene gets too wordy, then it starts to feel like it’s dragging so... I just don’t wanna be too descriptive and wordy and take away from the action. Exposition can be tricky too. Same with transition sequences.

I have the benefit of having both a laptop and a PC to write on so I pretty much ditched writing with pen and paper years and years ago. My hand cramps so easily now, it’s embarrassing. I usually write in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.

When I take a break from writing, it usually: lasts a few days | a few weeks | a few months | it’s kind of random

I haven’t taken a break in some time, I would say. Probably a couple of months? I take them whenever I want for however long I want to prevent burn out. Usually not much longer than a few weeks but it can vary. I actually told myself I was going to take a break on all non-FFXIV writing this month then I worked on something non-FFXIV related anyways. So it’s just kinda on a whim when I decide to take a break.

I have this issue when I read something like a book or another fic, I immediately wanna go write. So I try to avoid reading too much because I want the break to be full of me not thinking about my WIPs and thinking about everything else. I usually recharge with video games or doing other things. I’m going to be DMing a DnD campaign soon so that’s one way I’ve worked on being creative but not on my writing projects. Another way is just sketching. I’m not good at art by any means but sometimes having a podcast and sketching is just good for the soul. Playing video games also helps a ton. Recently, I’ve been playing Minecraft, Bravely Default 2, and, of course, FFXIV.

I would say the frequency that I write is great but sometimes I worry that my style is too repetitive. I want to focus on reading more stuff because I feel that’s the way I improve the most. It’s impossible for me to read without analyzing how authors tell a story-- syntax, method, how they spin their narrative, etc. But again, the biggest problem I have with reading is that as soon as I’ve started, I just wanna go write. I gotta get that urge under control.

Whew that was fun! I don’t think I’ve ever really thought this hard on my writing habits before!

Tagging: Anyone who sees this because idk who’s been tagged yet lol

WIP Intro: Down the Rabbit Hole

Synopsis: The defendant of a cut-and-dry attempted homicide case dies when the guilty verdict is cast down. Unwilling to accept that it may have been a suicide, the police and prosecution arrest Ernest Talbot, the defense attorney who had been representing the victim.

Laurel, a defense attorney from the arrestee’s firm, and her coworkers do not believe that their boss could commit such a crime. She investigates herself, with the help of her computer specialist sister Coral, willing to uncover clues for her boss’s defense team if she cannot defend him herself.

But on the other side is Ivy, a K-9 detective and her other sister... whom Laurel hasn’t spoken to in almost a year. Ivy is dedicated to her job and the courts, teaming up with prosecutor Xavier Wolfe to find the evidence to keep Laurel’s boss behind bars.

A chase to find the truth ensues, uncovering not only pieces to Mr. Talbot’s case, but also cases from the past.

Genre: Mystery, crime, drama

POV: First-person, multiple POVs.

Status: First draft

Themes: Family (found and reunited), friendship, confronting the past, murder, justice, loyalty

Excerpt: We rose for the judge, the prosecutor said her opening statement, and the trial began. I glanced at Mr. Sidney Hale sitting in the defendant's box. His posture was rigid, his arms crossed loosely before him, and his head barely inclined in any way while listening to the proceedings. To my gaze, it seemed as if he was already resigned to whatever verdict he was to get. I presumed Mr. Talbot hadn't gotten Mr. Hale's hopes up too high with the possibility of a not guilty verdict.

Adriana Knights was the prosecutor on the case, the junior prosecutor Xavier Wolfe assisting her from the prosecutor's bench. Her tone was professional for the most part as she reiterated every piece of evidence that was stacked against my boss's client. The click of her boots punctuated her words as she moved about the trial floor, holding up the bottle of poison disguised as a sugar container that had gotten the victim sick enough to land in the hospital.

The victim – an elderly neighbor of Mr. Hale's – had lived, barely, and I was sure she wasn't supposed to. Once she was discharged of her hospital stay, the victim had charged Mr. Hale with coercing her to add him to her will just a week prior to her hospital stay. As elderly as she was, the victim's mind was still sharp. She surmised that the change of the will and the fact that she fell ill at her usual weekly teatime with Mr. Hale were connected.

"I call the officer that had discovered the poison at the scene to the witness stand. Ms. Ivy Reed," Ms. Knights announced.

I froze as my sister took the witness stand. A simple pantsuit in dark hues and flats had always been normal for her, ever since she joined the career world, but she wasn't as recognizable as I thought she would be. Her hair was short, falling in angles towards her jawline, when it had always been long and plaited behind her. Her frame was lither, a little more muscular than I remembered, which I suppose was to be expected with her job. There were no more glasses over her eyes, although her hand still hovered by her face as she sat down, as if she were going to adjust her frames. Smoothly, her fingers brushed some of her hair behind her ear to hide the tic. Her contacts must be fairly new still, then. Perhaps she switched when she had moved back to this district.

If either of us had bothered to connect with the other when she had been transferred six months ago, I wouldn't have such arbitrary thoughts.

When prompted for her name and occupation, my sister stated, "Ivy Reed, K9 officer for East Santham."

"Describe to the court how you came to find this poison," Prosecutor Knights said.

Ivy briefly nodded before speaking, her tone rehearsed and clipped. "Once the toxicology report was returned regarding the victim's hospitalization, my canine partner Mocha and I were dispatched with a team of fellow officers to search the crime scene for anything suspicious. The bottle of poison was recovered buried in the middle of the trash in the victim's kitchen. Mocha caught the scent of an individual on the bottle and tracked the scent down the front walkway and past three houses before leading me to the source of the scent."

"And the source of the scent?" Prosecutor Knights asked for show.

"It was the defendant," Ivy reported. "He was outside at the time working on a car in the driveway and was apprehended."

I glanced at Hale and saw him pointedly staring at his shoes. Mr. Talbot's shoulders shook with a deep breath as he added a packet of sugar to his coffee.

"Your witness." Prosecutor Knights looked to Mr. Talbot and gestured towards Ivy, apparently certain that my sister's testimony was ironclad, as she took her seat next to Prosecutor Wolfe.

"Thank you. Ms. Reed…" My boss hesitated for a moment on the name, and I knew I would get asked questions about my family whenever the trial was over. He started again with, "Ms. Reed, would you agree that your canine partner could have tracked my defendant due to the fact that he has shared tea on a weekly basis with the victim?"

"Mocha tracked the scent that was specifically on the found bottle of poison," Ivy said as her response, "rather than a general search of other persons that could have been on the scene."

"The bottle of poison was buried with garbage. Could Mocha have made a mistake?"

Ivy glowered enough that Mr. Talbot took a step back. "You are not questioning my canine partner's training."

"I'm certain Mocha is an excellent K9 unit." Mr. Talbot cleared his throat. "Yet, with the garbage and the fact that Mr. Hale was a frequent visitor to the victim, it is possible that my client was mistakenly connected with the bottle of poison."

"The defendant broke into a run toward the backyard when Mocha led me to him," Ivy said. "There were no words spoken. He knew what we were there for. I allowed Mocha to give chase. She took him to the ground before he could leave the yard."

I knew what Ivy left unspoken. If Mr. Hale was innocent, there would be no reason for him to try to escape from an officer.

"Perhaps it was a mistake for my client to run," Mr. Talbot conceded, "but maybe he was spooked by seeing such a large dog. While I'm sure Mocha has wonderful manners, seeing a dog of her caliber very well could have scared my client into taking cover. After all, unfamiliar German shepherds and Doberman dogs can look frightening."

"Mocha is a chocolate lab."

There was a ripple of chuckles in the gallery around me at the idea that a grown man such as Mr. Hale would be frightened of one of the friendliest-looking dog breeds around. My boss could have played up the idea that his client was frightened of dogs in general, but it seemed pointless at the moment.

Instead, with a look to the jury box, Mr. Talbot pressed on with, "Even so, it is possible that my client was wrongfully pinpointed as the main suspect due to the mistake of a dog."

Ivy leaned forward on the witness stand, her fingers forming a steeple in front of her face. "My partner tracked down the defendant so he could be apprehended. This apprehension allowed his fingerprints to be recorded and matched with the fingerprints that our forensics team found on the bottle of the poison. Does that clear up your doubts regarding my partner's abilities?"

I bit my lip as my boss squared his shoulders before murmuring, "No further questions," to the judge and returning to his seat. Prosecutor Knights was having a difficult time hiding her smirk behind her case files. She shared a nod with Ivy as the judge dismissed my sister from the witness stand and Ivy returned to her seat in the lower gallery.

The testimony my sister had provided seemed to have dismissed whatever hope my boss had to get an acquittal. The victim's will had been the motive, the poison the means. To the jury, it seemed like Mr. Hale wanted whatever was promised to him in the victim's edited will as soon as possible.

An open and shut case. No one was shocked when the jury took only fifteen minutes to deliberate before returning with a guilty verdict. What did shock the courtroom was seeing Mr. Hale shake my boss's hand before Mr. Hale dropped dead.

Santa Claus: Yes, because I know there is a person like that who lives very near - in Lapland, Finland! 88. Kiss on the first date: Is this really something to believe in? If two people really match so well or have known each other for a long time before even going out on a date, then yes, it could happen.

OTHER: 90.
