Sailor-Aviator's Playlist Writing Challenge

Hello, hello!! Welcome back to another writing challenge! This one also had a lot of votes in the poll I posted, so I figured why not go ahead and release it?

The Concept

I have what some might call an eclectic music taste. What does that mean? I like a bit of just about everything! So, I compiled a list of songs from my playlists that I thought might make good fanfic inspiration! As with my Christmas Challenge, there will be a limited number of spots for each song! Just send me a DM/ask telling me which song you'd like to choose and for which Top Gun character you'd like to write for!

The Rules

You may sign up for more than one slot as long as there are slots available. However, you can not take up two slots for the same song.

Tag your fics appropriately! (Angst, smut, fluff, warnings, etc.)

18+ ONLY!

This can be a series, a one-shot, moodboards, or even a collection of drabbles! Just have fun with it!

You MUST use your song in some way in the fic. For example, if your song is Two Doors Down by Dolly Parton, then you could write about going to a party or about being a Dagger's neighbor.

HAVE FUN!!!

This writing challenge will not have a time limit, and you can sign up whenever you want! When you are finished (or started the series/collection), you can shoot me the link so I can tag it below. Also, please tag me in the fic and tag the challenge! The more the merrier! Now, there are some popular artists on here, but I encourage EVERYONE to listen to ALL the songs before making your decisions!! I will add more songs if I need to as well!

Tagging a couple of mutuals who I think would be interested: @goldenseresinretriever @bobgasm @mamachasesmayhem @hangmansgbaby @jupitercomet @seresinhangmanjake @number-0-iz

Introduction post

Hello there, welcome to my blog! ツ

Basics:

- My name is Ina (ee-n-uh)

- I'm 20 years old

- Starting my junior year of college in October, majoring in special education and rehabilitation of deaf and hard of hearing people

- English is not my native language, so if posts regarding my studies are confusing, it's because educational systems (curriculums, how is a certain profession organised and its theory used in practise...) are vastly different between countries, especially when talking about special education.

What is this blog?

So, for now it's a commonplace book or a digital journal made of all the things that I think would be helpful in achieving my goals. Whether it's study tips, book recommendations, music playlists, motivational mood boards, quotes, pretty pictures it can all be found here, as well as my thoughts and updates on personal challenges (study, productivity, maintaining healthy habits etc).

Honestly, not sure yet. I wanted to make a studyblr, because my first priority now and in the next few years will be getting my bachelor and masters degree, as well as finding a job in my filed. Of course none of that is possible if I don't put effort and care into other aspects of my life, so I thought why not make it a some kind of a self-care blog, but realised that I don't know what would I even post and how I would do it.

Why am I starting this blog?

Currently my life is a mess, all the bits and pieces of it are scattered around and I am trying to pick what I have, connect it into some barely functioning thing and continue on to grow from there.

I want to work on making my life more better and enjoyable, on accepting and loving myself, on growing and improving every single day.

Also I've always admired all the study blogs out there. Everyone seems so genuinely kind and willing to give out tips and hacks about anything. I have always wanted to be a part of such community, thinking that this will help me stay disciplined and consistent with my work.

Things I wanna work on (I'll probably make separate post for this):

- self-discipline

- incorporating healthier habits into my everyday life (there will also be separate post for this)

- increasing productivity not just regarding my studies

- reading more books (for enjoyment)

- getting out of the comfort zone, being more spontaneous, making memories (with friends and alone), doing things just for the hell fun of it

- learning more skills/languages (for now I want to become fluent in my third language - French, as for skills I would love to enroll in a self-defence or dance class or both)

- getting work experience, I would love to and have to volunteer with organisations from my field in order to have something on my work resume besides a degree and get familiar with my line of future profession

- enjoying my youth, the moments I'm living in right now, being more thankful for everything that i have

...

Interests:

Besides my studies and future line of work

- reading (romance novels, poetry and classics)

- the biggest Hunger games and Suzane Collins fan, everlark stan for life

- listening to music (currently favourite Hozier, the Killers, James Arthur, Lord Huron, Kacey Musgraves, my native pop and folk music) while imagining fake scenarios

- watching TV shows (b99, himym, the good place, the new girl, friends, bridgerton and currently favourite my lady jane)

- now realising that I really need to get into more things besides media consumption

Study, life and aesthetic blogs that I admire and that inspire me:

* @studyblrmasterposts

* @studyblr

* @emmastudies

* @peachblossomstudy

* @starrystvdy

* @helenstudies

* @study-core-101

* @zzzzzestforlife

* @luciaslifesblog

* @malusokay

* @flowerhope

* @agirlwithglam

These are just some of them, if you are also a new studyblr don't hesitate to reach out to me I'd love to be mutuals

I'm still not sure about the main structure of this blog I guess in the near future I'll be posting daily updates as a part of some challenge (100 days of productivity or 30 days of discipline). I'll see so just bare with me 😅

Tags: I'll add as I create them on the go

Song Prompt Asks

Hello everyone. I’ve been a little quiet on here for the last week because I’ve been away but I’m back and will definitely be more active again now. I thought this would be a fun idea to start off my writing again (although I have finally finished some of my wips while I was away)

Feel free to pick one of the music lyrics below and send me an ask (you can also choose a character too if you’d like or if not I can pick a character) send me an ask and I can either write a little headcanon, extract from a fic or write a little plot (and if you like it I can always turn it into a full fic) I can also do little moodboards based on these two if anyone is interested. Characters can be from Band of Brothers or the Pacific so whichever takes your fancy. You can also request one of my OC pairs if you have a favourite from one of them.

[hecckyeah]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Well hey you, thanks for this!! I never like self-promoting anything of mine, but I do carry a certain sense of accomplishment and love for my fics, and I just want people to read and enjoy them :)

So here we go!

1. Until the Night is Over

(Fandom: Agents of SHIELD)

This one is so near and dear to my heart. It was inspired by the song When the Night is Over by Lord Huron, and it’s the first and only multi-chapter fic I’ve ever completed (I’ve always been more of a one-shot gal myself). I call it a “modern day Dousy AU,” with a healthy amount of espionage, angst, mystery, and fluff. Written at the height of the Dousy craze around here, and I was so honored by all the loyal readers and even some late night idea sessions with the mutuals.

Anyway, it’s a classic and has held the number one favorite spot for a long time :)

2. the medic

(Fandom: Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

I feel like this was my first real foray off my beaten path of linear, conversational fic, if you will. It’s more poetry than anything else and it focuses on Kix, a character we don’t see much of but has a huge and very unique role in TCW. I wanted to explore the ins and outs of being a medic in the GAR, and the parallels that led to his ultimate fate. I’ve even gotten some amazing feedback from relatives of real life army medics, who say it rings true and reminds them of their veteran relatives stories, which is just a huge honor and makes me tear up a little :’)

3. but you dream of some epiphany

(Fandom: Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Again, this one is less “traditional” and more poetic. It’s just a short take on the couple of weeks immediately following Order 66, and how Ahsoka and Rex try to find their way in this new, very hostile galaxy. Lots of emotions, PTSD, and callbacks and parallels. It’s also partly me rejecting the canon that says the two of them split up almost immediately after escaping the purge, and deciding that it’s much more likely they would stick together, at least for a little while.

4. And I Dealt My Heart

(Fandom: Agents of SHIELD)

For someone who’s never been a fan of AUs, I sure do write a lot of them for Dousy :)

This one was my knee jerk reaction to some overwhelming emotions I was feeling following a dance I went to with my family. Funny what a whirlwind of a night can make you feel in the span of 2-3 hours. I love love love country music and the culture surrounding it, and I thought what better way to put a new spin on the Blue Shirt™️ than a good old fashioned square dance? Plus, it’s such a natural foil for Daisy that it really worked, at least in my opinion. And who doesn’t love a little extra sprinkle of Philinda being pseudo parents? :)

5. can’t tell me there’s no point in trying

(Fandom: Star Wars)

This one is still in progress, so we’ll see where I land on it, but so far I have SO enjoyed the process. It was originally just a one-shot, aka me scratching the itch I have to see Ahsoka Tano and Cal Kestis interact on screen, and touching on the emotions surrounding Order 66 and the clones’ betrayal and how Cal would react to a de-chipped Rex. Now it’s gone much further to my own delight, and I get to explore things like Cody and the Bad Batch and even Cal’s biological family. I really love it so far and I’m excited about where it’s headed :)

A couple honorable mentions because I’m indecisive:

The One With the Second Chance - (Friends; Joey/Rachel)

when the smoke clears (i’ll be right here) - (AOS; Dousy)

[oranges-and-pears]

buzzed and feeling emotionally competent enough to reply to this music tag that @obeetlebeetle got me

tightrope by young the giant who I bounced off of overall when they first had some hits (yeah I know cough syrup started playing in your head) but has now been one of my favorite bands for like five years. I love going back through their albums and falling in love with different tracks from before

ohio by king princess that wacky bridge. the way it fucks so hard

future lover by local natives another band I fell in love with a single back when I visited Seattle for the first time before moving here and am just now liking some of their other stuff

I lied (with allison ponthier) by lord huron. I know I never shut up about this but my brother's trumpet teacher's son is in lord huron. MI local represent I fckin love this band!! told you I would never leave you all alone, but I lied

head alone by julia jacklin for always being stuck in my head in the best way. and I'll say it til you understand // you can't love somebody without using your head.

your loves whore by wolf alice. just listen to it

oh caroline the 1975 I'll try anything that you wanna // I'll find myself in the moonlight // 'cause baby, I want everything that you wanna // and I've tried to just be me like a thousand times // hurt me hurt me hurt me

blind belief by evanescence. hey did you know in 2021 evanescence had an album and it was great?

empire ants gorillaz. surprise gorillaz are here too

want you in my room from carly rae jepsen. yeah everyone was right she bops hard. if you don't believe me just listen to this one song and report back.

serotonin by girl in red. yeah it sounds just like one of their other songs that I love but the lyrics are causing casualties. I get intrusive thoughts like // burning my hair off like // hurting somebody I love like // does it every really stop?

I'll stop myself there but this is a hyperfixation-friendly space so please if you want to do this go fucking ham and tag me if you're a mutual

[m-a-salter]

PLEASE provide us your playlist/lore/moodboard for Love Is A River. I'll take anything ya got. :-D

THANK YOU for asking. For anyone reading this other than the asker, she is referring to this fic:

Which, after a bit of a hiatus due to Life Events™, has just been updated with a new chapter!

I don't have an actual moodboard, but you can get the equivalent experience by looking at any stills or GIFs from The Husbands of River Song. I have also commissioned an illustration for the story from the incomparable @illustoryart, and have accordingly also been inspired by their many illustrations of cute cottages and nighttime coziness.

The two most important songs for me in planning and writing have been Now or Never by Alan Doyle, and Anchor by Fortunate Ones.

"Now or Never" has this bit that always makes me think of the end of THORS: "For tonight we are the chosen few/The least that we can do/Is lay our hearts on the line/Oh we're running, we're running/We're running out of time/And I can see the truth/It's coming for me and you/My Love, the moment's here/It's now or never, my dear."

The title of the story comes from "Anchor," and this little piece of that chorus--"Love is a river/It’s gonna run/Time is a sea that drowns everyone"--has been stuck in my head for six months. Not long after I became obsessed with that song, and had firmly established in my mind the water-cycle metaphors of the story, I heard Éilís Kennedy's song Row On, and that also seemed to fit.

Of course, when you are in the middle of writing a story, everything you listen to seems to fit, so the full playlist is mostly just a list of songs I have been listening to, which because I am in my head about this pair, seem to me to be about them. I make no claims to the objective fit of the lyrics of any of these. And the actual playlist I write to also has a bunch of Murray Gold from the Capaldi years, especially, of course, "The Woman He Loves" and "The Singing Towers." The list includes a good number of songs cherry-picked from the many Doctor/River playlists on 8tracks.

Here is the playlist (I don't do Spotify, so sorry for the extra steps):

1 Now or Never/Alan Doyle 2 Anchor/Fortunate Ones 3 Row On/Éilís Kennedy 4 Basket Case/Sara Bareilles 5 A Drop In the Ocean/Ron Pope 6 River/Emeli Sandé 7 Good Company (From "Oliver and Company")/Pianomation 8 Heartbeat/Scouting for Girls 9 Next to Me/Emeli Sandé 10 Start of Time/Gabrielle Aplin 11 Love is All/The Tallest Man On Earth 12 Gravity/Sara Bareilles 13 Stay/Hurts 14 Cherry Wine (Live)/Hozier 15 Home/Vanessa Carlton 16 North/Sleeping At Last 17 The Night We Met/Lord Huron 18 White Flag/Dido 19 Swing Low Sail High/The Wailin' Jennys 20 Work Song/Hozier 21 Poison & Wine/The Civil Wars 22 All I Ask/Adele 23 Boston And St. John's/Great Big Sea

The story has its origins in my own confusion, upon first watching The Husbands of River Song, over why the Doctor doesn't assert his identity more forcefully. It was clear what the Doylist answer is: the continued mistaken identity allows for lots of fun comic moments in the episode.

But to come up with a Watsonian answer I found myself doing a re-watch of River Song's entire run (in the order of her timestream), and developing this head canon about their mutual belief/fear that the other person thought it was a marriage of convenience. And I love nothing more than mutual pining, so I thought I'd write it up, and here we are.

[tidepoolalgae]

When you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen to, publish (or just write the names of the songs) then send this to your favorite mutuals ♥️

aaah ty for the ask!! I always find it difficult to choose between songs but here's a few I like right now:

Life in a bubble I blew - Joywave

I will be back one day - Lord Huron

the train to nowhere - hemlocke springs

Move along - The All-American Rejects

Audience of One - Rise Against

⋆ song recommendation: When the Night is Over by Lord Huron

You pulled a blanket beneath your chin, yawning slightly at whatever the tv was playing. You only had it on in an attempt to drown out the noises coming from your roommate's bedroom as she smoozed her date. You were honestly shocked the two hadn’t moved in together yet with all the time they spent wrapped up.

Her door opened, her eyes widening slightly at the sight of you sprawled out on the couch. He marched toward you quietly, hovering over your shoulder. You peered up at her hesitantly. “What are you watching?” She asked, voice barely above a whisper. You furrowed your brows, opening your mouth to speak but she hurriedly cut you off. “Do you mind watching it at Nick’s instead?”

You raised your eyebrows. “You’re kicking me out again?” She gave you an apologetic smile, making you roll your eyes as you stood up and pulled on your jacket. “This would hurt less if they also paid rent,” you mumbled, with a small glare.

She thanked you repeatedly, holding onto your arm as you gathered what little belongings you needed for the night. “I promise I’ll make it up to you,” she courted, opening the door for you. “Tomorrow, dinner’s on me okay?” You sent her a tired look and she apologized again. She stopped you as you stepped out into the cold night, leaning through the space between the door and the frame. “Maybe you can cozy up to that Clay guy? You guys have such a good vibe,” she mocked, making you chuckle lightly.

You shook your head, waving to her. “Enjoy your night. Please, for the love of God, clean the bathroom afterward,” you called, hearing her laugh at your statement.

The bus ride was quiet due to the time of night and the weather, both of which you didn’t mind. You knew Nick’s house would be warm and loud. Before you knew it, you found yourself in front of his apartment door, kicking at the concrete ground as you heard someone stumbling to let you inside. The door opened swiftly, Clay’s large frame blocking the light from the kitchen. He leaned against the doorframe mockingly as he looked at you.

He wet his lips. “Who’s the lucky guy tonight?” He joshed.

You rolled your eyes, brushing past his body to get out of the cold. “Whoever’s dick you’re not sucking, I guess,” you quipped back, making him laugh darkly. You kicked off your shoes as he shut the door. “Where’s Sapnap?” You asked, shrugging off your jacket. You’d texted him ahead of time to ask if you could stay over, which he readily agreed to.

Clay sent you a smug look. “You guys have a fun night planned?” He made a gesture with his hand to insinuate you were there to give Nick a handjob.

You bit back a chuckle. “Why? You wanna join?” You shot back. He bit his lip and moaned pornographically.

“Cut it out, Dream,” Nick grumbled as he walked into the room. He pulled on your arm to follow him.

Dream scoffed exasperatedly. “Me? I’m not the one who started it!” He called after the two of you.

As Nick pushed you out of the room, you turned your head. “You most certainly did!” You answered. You heard him chuckle at your words as Nick shut the door to his room. You plopped down on his bed as he sat in his chair, swiveling to look at you. “Why does Dream pick at me so much?” You mumbled, fishing in your pockets for your phone.

“He’s jealous,” Nick answered absent-mindedly. “What's the date look like tonight?” He asked, referring to the reason you were there in the first place. This wasn’t the first time or the last time your roommate had kicked you out. It was becoming a more frequent occurrence for you to end up on Nick’s couch or at their place in the middle of the day with your toothbrush and a change of clothes.

You moved to lean into his pillows. “I don’t know, it's the same granola fucker she’s been hanging around,” you answered.

He rubbed his chin with a slight smirk. “There’s a subtle justice to knowing she’s still with that asshat,” he commented, making you snort.

A week later, you were on your way back to your apartment after a lecture when someone felt you up. It was the straw on the camel’s back for you as you spin around to smack the guy, stirring up a few of the bystanders. You’d walked the rest of the way home, stepping through the door to be met with your roommate and her hookup twisted together in the kitchen.

You clamped your hand over your eyes, mumbling about how you just wanted to take a nap when you were once again sent to Nick’s. You let subtle tears fall as you trudged your way across the city, hoping to get out whatever darkness you had to your attitude. The last thing you wanted to do was confront Clay looking like you did. He was like the troll with the keys to the bridge. That was really the only reason the two of you ever talked, so you knew he’d be waiting to berate you before you could get to Nick.

As you walked into the building, you spotted Clay carrying a large box, his hair slightly disheveled and his hands dirty. You knew almost instantly that he was probably attempting to fix the kitchen sink and got a call because of the size of the package. That sink had been dripping since they’d moved in, making it Clay’s mission to futz around with it every Friday afternoon. You tried helping him one time, only ending up with a deflated sense of confidence and the second wave of your childhood anger issues.

He nodded at you as you held the elevator door open for him. “What’s up, babycakes?” He chirped, popping his gum. When you hesitated to answer, he looked at you fully, scoffing. “Damn, walk of shame gone sour?”

You crossed your arms over your chest, inhaling deeply to try and calm your nerves. “I’m not really in the mood today,” you muttered, tucking your hands between your back and the wall.

He snorted, setting the box down between his feet. “You’re always in the mood! Isn’t that like your thing,” he continued to jeer. “You look like you had a fun night though-”

“Clay, stop. I’m serious,” barked at him. His expression twisting at your use of his name.

He raised his hands in mock defense. “Sorry, I thought we had---like a bit thing, um-” he cut himself off, awkwardly shoving his fists in his pockets. After a beat of silence between the two of you, the elevator came to a sharp halt on the wrong floor, the light switching to red. The two of you shared a look, knowing that the landlord was probably flipping the wrong switches again. Clay texted Nick to see what was going on.

It began to grow colder in the elevator, as it usually did. When it was off, the cold from outside usually seeped in through the elevator shaft. There was one time you were stuck in the elevator for a few hours with one of your neighbors and Karl when he had come to visit. Back then, the three of you played Uno on the guy’s phone. It was also summer, so the chill creeping up your legs wasn’t as intolerable as it was now.

You rubbed the arms of your sweater in hopes of generating some kind of warmth. Clay watched you carefully, his hands moving to grip the bar behind him. “Do you want my sweatshirt?” He offered. You shook your head, sliding onto the ground and hugging your knees to your chest. He hesitantly slumped down beside you, kicking his long legs out towards the door. The red light filling the space made his features look softer.

He nudged your arm gently with his own. “I know I’m not Sapnap, but…” he chewed on the inside of his cheek, shrugging slightly, “I mean, we’re stuck in here. We can talk about it.”

You blinked away the tears threatening to spill once again, your eyes burning and tired. “I haven’t slept with him, you know?” You stated, turning to look at him briefly before moving to sit cross-legged, planning with your fingers. “I’ve never even kissed him. I’ve never kissed anyone,” you scoffed. Clay was silent, but out of the corner of your eye, you could see him watching you intently.

Being this close to him, you could smell the smoky vanilla undertones of his cologne. The scent reminded you of a masculine version of the candle your aunt always burned when she went out for a night to spite her ex-husband.

Clay leaned his head back against the wood paneling, his soft blond hair flattening in the back to spread against the wall. You swallowed, sighing slightly. “I haven’t even had my first kiss yet and I’m getting groped on the bus and kicked out of my damn apartment because my roommate and her fucking boyfriend have to hook up on every surface. Nothing is sacred.” You shook your head, wiping away some stray tears with the back of your hand and sniffling pathetically. “You can keep making slut jokes, I don’t care. But I swear to God, I haven’t done anything with Sapnap. Or Karl, or Quackity. No one.”

He chuckled softly. “I know. That’s why I used to make those jokes,” he mumbled. “It was like… ironic humor. And then it got so far that the only way I knew you’d talk back to me was if I was fucking around with you,” he admitted. You chuckled slightly at his words, taking a deep breath.

“Oh, Dream,” you sighed. “I would have hooked up with you if you weren’t such an ass,” you chided. His laugh made you feel better. He held his hand out to you, more for support than anything, but as you laced your fingers with his, your heart eased, feeling safe beside him.

After a beat of silence, he spoke up again. "I can ride the bus with you now... if you want..." He offered, a shyness that seemed so foreign to his character shown through his eyes. "I promise I won't grope you," he joshed, making you roll your eyes.

"That's really not something we should be joking about," you mumbled, wiping away the rest of your tears on your sleeve.

His thumb brushed against the back of your hand soothingly. "I mask my awkwardness around you in dark humor. I'm sorry."

Chan's 1k Followers Challenge!

To commemorate my 1k followers milestone, I decided to hold a little writing challenge for you guys!

Now there's a twist, more like a spin because it'll be Spin The Wheel Challenge! The rules are a little...baffling, so please read them carefully and you have to be 18+ and you don't necessarily have to follow me but it'll be nice!

The general rules are as follows -

You can write for both Sam and Dean (I wouldn't say no to a Winchester sandwich either). All versions of the Winchesters (demon, soulless, AUs, are welcome)

Other than the SPN fandom, you can write for Marvel, Lucifer, Shadow&Bone, 911, Bridgerton

You can also write for Jensen and Jared (or a J2 sandwich), Ben Barnes, Chris Evans too. Honestly, if you want to write for characters not mentioned here, go for it! No worries, let the imagination run wild.

Characters x male readers are welcomed as well

The only donts here are - No Wincest or Destiel (not a fan, not a shipper), no underage smut, no wife-hate.

AUs and A/B/O verse fics are highly welcomed as well as non-cons and dubcons.

Minimum words - 500, maximum - there's no limit but I will prefer if you keep it as an oneshot or even a three parts miniseries.

Now that we are done with the general rules, let's dive into the rules specific to the game!

So I have five sets of different prompt lists - Set A include Song Prompts, Set B includes AU prompts and so on.

There are fifteen prompts in each sets (if necessary, I'll add more)

What you'll do is that you'll send me an ask or a message with the letter of your chosen set (A, B, C, D or E) and then I'll spin the wheel and on whichever number the arrow lands, is your prompt.

To participate you have to choose at least one set but the maximum number of sets you can choose? All five of them! Let the creativity run wild people!

Due date for submission - 30th January (but of course, if you need more time, just lemme know)

Tag me in the A/N when you post your fic and you can also use the #chans1kspinthewheel when you post!

That's it for the rules, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, happy writing!

Hiii, so I've seen some mutuals reblog your posts but I never followed you myself even though you're a fellow casgirl because I thought you posted a bit too much about lord huron for my taste. Now I'd just like to say that before this, the only song from them that I'd listened to was the night we met and that was because of Destiel amvs. So after seeing some people post about all their fav lord huron songs I finally caved and listened to I Lied and The Ghost On The Shore and oh my god, oh my goddd. When I tell you I was dancing in the kitchen by myself to these songs in the middle of the night. Like you were really on to something there, excellent taste. AND THEN I went out there looking for more songs and listened to Drops In The Lake, anyway I cried a little bit. So now I'm here to ask for more song recommendations Queen.

Also plsss tell me someone's already made a deancassie amv with I Lied and also a divorce arc Destiel amv with Drops In The Lake.

i’m obsessed with this first of all i can’t blame you since i’m pretty much 60% lord huron blogging 30% destiel blogging and 10% silly life blogging akdjfkkfksd. second of all, omg yes i have so many recommendations!! you started out with some of their best ones in my opinion but also!!! “love me like you used to” “i will be back one day” “when the night is over” “meet me in the woods” and “not dead yet” are some of my absolute favorites and they all have a different sound to them that gives you a sense of lord huron’s various sounds :D

[aceghosts]

oooh I, M, Q, T, W for the fanfic asks?

Thanks for asking! I rambled a little on some of these answers.

[Fanfic Ask Meme]

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

Not really? I’ve kinda given up on considering anything a guilty pleasure, and I have just decided to read or write whatever the fuck I want. I think it's working out for me pretty well so far, considering I'm having fun.

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

I don’t really have a lot on the back burner; I’m trying to spend my time working on the Five Years Later AU, Blue’s canon, and prompts. These are a few ideas that I would consider on the back burner:

Rooney’s Canon: This is for my Shepard from Mass Effect. It is going to happen, but I think I need to take an afternoon and just plan it all out. I have a few ideas here and there, but I would like something more concrete.

World Ender: This is a recent idea, but oh boy, this one is gonna go full-tilt horror. Essentially, Blue dies at the hands of the Seeds and is buried in a shallow grave. But Surprise! They came back from the dead, and something isn’t quite right with everyone’s favorite goofball. It's heavily inspired by Lord Huron's The World Ender.

Batman (2022) Longfic: I would love to write a longfic for Blue’s DC canon, but I just don’t have any specific ideas right now. I figure after I write a few prompts for them; I’ll figure it out. That’s how it usually happens anyway.

And all my original stuff.

Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?

Essentially any fandom that isn’t Mass Effect, FC5, or DC. I’m just generally not really interested in those projects anymore, but I may revisit them at a later date. I have two Fallout oneshots, a Cyberpunk 2077 oneshot, and a The Outer Worlds oneshot that are unfinished at the moment.

I also have a few discarded scenes from the Werewolf fic. Originally, Blue wasn’t going to know the werewolf who was attacking Hope County, but I thought it would make it more interesting if they did. Also, the scene where Blue and Joseph are having tea in the Church, was originally a scene where Blue accidentally runs into Joseph and his siblings while in their wolf form. While adorable, I didn’t think it fit the fic well. Unfortunately, for y’all, you missed John getting knocked over by Blue’s wagging tail.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

I wanna preface this with a 'Mutuals, none of this is about you.' As far as I know/remember, I don't think I've seen anyone do this.

I don’t know if this really counts as a trope, but I immediately nope out of a fic if a writer starts being weirdly fucking aggressive towards a character that is either (a) a potential rival love interest for their ship or (b) a character’s canon love interest. It is 20-fucking-22; you do not have to hate on that character. Also, there is a double layer of awfulness because the character is usually female, and some writers feel like they have to make that character an Evil Woman™. And not to be the pettiest fucking bitch alive, but the dude they’re fighting over isn’t worth it.

In general, I’m not a huge fan of when a writer demonizes another character unfairly, especially when the characters they’re writing about is equally shitty. I’m not saying the character shouldn’t be a bastard; I actively encourage that. Sometimes, a writer's biases show, and it can kinda ruin the fic. I find the FC5 fandom can be kinda egregious about this. For example, I find they can demonize Joseph a bit unfairly, but John, the man who fucking skins people, is a poor soft boy who must be protected. They’re both bastards; just let them be bastards.

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

I feel like I walk a fine line with this. If a prompt is too general or too specific, I think I struggle a little bit. I usually find I work best off of Dialogue prompts or action prompts. Most dialogue prompts are pretty general and I feel like I can work them in some way. Although, if someone sends me a prompt, I'm always willing to give it a try.

you know the brainrot is real when every song reminds you of your blorbos but hear me out

1. from afar - vance joy: mutual pining forever (eddie) “you lined me up, across the room, two falling sparks, one willing fool, and i always knew that I would love you from afar”, (steve) “it shouldn't come as a surprise, what i'm feeling, what i'm feeling now”

2. the night we met - lord huron: do i even need to say it? “i had all and then most of you, some and now none of you… i don’t know what i’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you”

3. hello my old heart - the oh hellos: just the whole thing is so steve

4. love love love - of monsters and men; eddie to steve, this one is probably the most fic-specific (that’s not my main wip rn, so here’s a tease of the angst i’m cooking up)

[starlost-andfound]

some and now, none // daniel seavey x oc

Summary: Daniel and Elle’s love story was a fairytale that fell apart. The two ex-lovers find themselves being pulled together on a vacation with their mutual friends just a few months after breaking up. A restless night brings unexpected company and conflicting emotions.

Warning: Angst, HIGHLY unedited - it’s late here

A/N: I wrote this instead of doing my work- also a leetle shoutout to @stuffofseaveyy​ for proofreading this. I’m so tired I was convinced this made no sense. Ily <3

A/N + : Slightly inspired by one of my favorite songs of all time - The Night We Met, by Lord Huron and the slow dancing scene from A Quiet Place

Word Count : 1053

Elle stared at the ceiling above her. The room was quiet except for the low hum of the fan, the rhythmic tick of the clock and her breathing. She sighed and turned to her side. Through the slim gap between her curtains she caught a glimpse of the trees and the night sky.

Her fingers brushed the cold untouched bedsheet next to her. The room felt so quiet, so empty. She wouldn’t sleep that night, she knew that. Elle huffed and pulled herself out of bed. She picked up a stray hoodie on the floor and pulled it over her shirt. Elle walked quietly out of her room, her bare feet tiptoeing on the hardwood floors of the rented house.

She descended the stairs and put her hair up in a messy knot. On her way down she was surprised to notice the light on above the kitchen island. Her heart dropped as her eyes fell on the familiar figure in the kitchen. She picked up on the large green hoodie and sweatpants he wore. His earphones were plugged in and his back was turned to her. His focus lied on the items in the fridge as he searched for something.

She moved to the last step and the wood below her creaked loudly. He turned and their eyes met in the dim lighting. He pulled out one of his earphones, letting it hang off the chord. His music blended with reality and his heart beat harder.

“Elle,” he breathed.

“Hey Daniel,” she whispered and entered the kitchen.

Daniel cleared his throat and shut the door of the fridge behind him, empty handed. “How are you?”

“I’m good,” Elle fiddled with her fingers. “You?”

Daniel put his hands into his pockets. “Y-yeah, me too.”

He took a step forward. A silence fell over them and their eyes danced around the room. They played a game to avoid, a daring match to see who would break first and meet the others’ gaze. It felt odd, how close they once were and how easily they drifted apart.

Elle lifted her gaze to his, “Couldn’t sleep, I’m guessing?”

Daniel chuckled softly, “Yeah, you know me. Always thinking.”

He blamed himself internally, wishing he could take back the first words of his reply. Elle’s laugh brought him out of his mind and he smiled.

“I always said you needed more sleep,” she agreed. “What’s kept you up this time? A new song?”

“Y-yeah,” Daniel grinned but the way his heart ached called out his bluff. The answer to Elle’s question stood right in front of him. Elle nodded, oblivious to the hidden truth. She swayed gently on her heels and she turned her head back to the stairs.

Daniel noticed and gulped, “I like the new hair style.”

She turned and smiled bashfully, her hands instinctively reaching for her hair. “Thanks.”

“Short hair looks good on you.”

“Your tattoo looks really cool,” she complimented. “The new one with the hands.”

Daniel scratched the back of his neck, “Thank you.”

“I always thought you didn’t want a chest tattoo.”

“I wanted to try something new.” Daniel’s response fell to a quiet whisper as the realisation of their close proximity settled between them. Elle could hear the quiet sound of Daniel’s music through his earphones.

“What are you listening to?”, she mumbled.

Daniel picked up the hanging earphone, offering it to her. Daniel held his breath as Elle stepped closer to him to take the earphone. She smiled solemnly as the familiar melody of The Night We Met started in her ear. They stood in silence, their bodies barely centimetres apart. Daniel inhaled shakily.

“Elle?” His voice was barely a whisper above the music.

She looked up.

“Can I hold you?”

Elle nodded. He held her gently with his hands on her waist and Elle placed her hands on his shoulders. Elle rested her head against Daniel’s chest and he prayed she couldn’t hear the way his heart pounded against him. She moved first, swaying gently from side to side and Daniel soon followed, relaxing in her arms.

And then, I can tell myself

What the hell I’m supposed to do.

She lifted her head, looking at Daniel as they danced. A lump built in his throat, thinking of the nights they danced together, the soft smiles they shared. They fell into each other’s eyes. Daniel’s gaze fell down to her lips briefly. Elle copied his actions, her eyes tracing his lips. He cupped her cheek hesitantly, his thumb brushing against her skin. Elle’s hands lifted from his shoulders, brushing his jaw.

And then, I can tell myself

Not to ride along with you

He leaned his forehead against hers and their noses brushed against each other. They stayed close, foreheads touching, stepping from side to side. Daniel held his breath as he moved closer, his lips brushed against Elle’s.

“Daniel-” Elle pulled back and took a step away from Daniel. The earphone fell out of her grasp.

“Shit, I’m sorry,” Daniel stepped back. He looked down, “I thought that-that you...”

Elle looked down at the floor, “I-It’s okay. I’m sorry too, I led you on and I shouldn't have.”

She rubbed her forehead as they fell into a tense silence. “It’s getting late, Daniel. We-I should probably go to sleep.”

“Yeah,” Daniel sniffled.

Elle tucked her hair behind her ears and disappeared up the stairs.

I had all and then, most of you

Some and now, none of you.

Take me back to the night we met.

She shut the door behind her when she entered the bedroom and slid down the door. Elle tucked her knees up to her chest. She could still smell his fading cologne, feel the soft fabric of his hoodie and the way his lips touched hers. She rested her head back against the door and sighed shakily.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

Haunted by the ghost of you.

Take me back to the night we met.

Daniel’s heart left a heavy weight in his chest. He leaned forward against the kitchen counter, resting his head in his hands. The song they danced to faded into silence in his ears. Daniel brushed his fingers across his lips. A lonely tear trailed down his cheek and he wiped it away.
