2, 4, 11, 21, 30!

2 - Who is your newest OC? Why did you make them? 

My newest OC is Winnie! She is a small dark elf (approx 18) who has 10 dozen bees within her body. She's a creepy weird girl who has skills to make her a nightmare being (she's a healer ^-^ )

She likes bees, The Heart (the eldritch thing that is beneath), and helping people. She dislikes wallpaper, swimming, and bad dreams.

Here are some picrews of her! (Note, Winnie is meant to be wearing a little woollen hat but I forgot when doing the picrews) (Picrews HERE and HERE)

I made her because I was going to play Heart: The City Beneath with friends and therefore needed a new character. She is based on the runaway from darkest dungeon 2 and that real child who said there was a monster that turned out to be 60,000 bees.

4 -  What kind of music do your OCs listen to?

So, I am terrible at identifying different kinds of music and definitely could not figure it out for all of my OCs.

However, @theiratlas did once do a couple of them so and I trust their judgement on this far more than my own so here is that list:

I also think I can say that Cassidy would like country music - because he is originally from Liminal Horror, a modern set ttrpg, and he was a country singer.

And Sigourney (the other OC originally from Liminal) would be into some sort of punk music because she was originally based on Reko so why not keep that connection going

11 -  Sum up one or more of your wips! 

This answer ended up being longer so it’s under the read more! It’s long because I maybe just give a (very short) summary of every WIP that has any actual writing done (so out of the scripting/planning stage).

21 -  When did you start considering yourself a writer/artist? 

Writer; at like age seven when I got my first nice notebook and started writing stories that made my mum scared. Because even though I really couldn’t stomach the idea of horror movies until age sixteen, I have always been a horror fan (my mum does not appreciate this).

Artist; god knows. Somedays I probably still wouldn’t 😅

30 - How are you doing? <3

Pretty good right now!

11 - The Full Answer

OC Danganronpa AU, Prologue - The prologue of an OC danganronpa AU. Will also certainly will get split into parts if ever finished.

Mianite Until Dawn, C3P1 - Ianite, Sonja, Jordan, and Dianite do a seance. Tom and Skipper continue towards the guest cabin

Mianite YTTD, Untitled Document - The prologue of Mianite YTTD. Features a woman asking if you know a majority vote is, a demonstration of the results of a majority vote, and Tom and Jordan walking back late from university.

The Libris Collection, Idric is dead??? - A story about how Medli, Altair, Katherine, and Leontine deal with grief after Idric is apparently disintegrated.

The Libris Collection, Sigourney - Signourney mets the Storyteller is made to tell her own backstory.

The Libris Collection, The Name Ba'lor - Medli and Idric discuss how Idric picked his own last name and Medli talks about walking to change her own last name.

A New Life P2 - The beginning of a second part to A New Life. Capsize has a perfect life with Ianite, but keeps having odd dreams about a strange woman and finds herself forgetting things more and more often.

Ace Attorney AU - On the day when Altair has finally decided to drop out of university, Altair is arrested for murdering their professor.

Blades, Dimitra - Dimitra waits outside of a music longue, hoping to see her girlfriend who suddenly disappeared months ago after an accident on a heist.

Sleeping Curse WIP - Capsize and Redbeard sleeping beauty curse AU. In the present, Redbeard guards the cursed Capsize, lost as to what he's meant to do to wake her up. In the past, Capsize attempts enjoy her last uncursed year, wondering if she'll ever find a "true love" to break the curse that's soon going to strike.

Zombie Leontine AU - In a world where instead of being a cute weird girl, Leontine used her spore powers to create the zombie apocolaypse, Leontine and Katherine meet. Katherine is somehow immune to the spores turning her into a zombie. Leontine is not the monstrous necromancer that she appears to be. (Yes, I made another Beauty and the Beast style story - sue me)

Text Note 4/2 - God swap au. As Tucker and Sonja come back unsuccessful in their attempts to find their goddess, Jordan is unfortunately joined by some friends.

Text Note 7/1 - OC Funger AU. Route A. Altair and Darien rush back to the train after being attacked by a horde of monstrous villagers only to find that nearly everyone has left.

Home and Free, Chp14 - Sonja learns that Capsize has never celebrated the Winter Solistice and is encouraged by Tom to change that fact.

Safety - Capsize wakes up in a cage, and is told by Ianite that her friends imprisoned her to save Ianite.

Mianite W/W Vampire AU. Ianite sees her - Vampire Lord Ianite sees Capsize for the first time.

Under the New Moon, Chp2 - Tucker and Sonja go to Jordan's bar to have a meeting with Capsize, but it unfortunately appears that she's late.

There is almost certainly more, but I'm not dismantling the notebook pile to search through and I'm gonna be honest, I'm sure this will more than suffice.

You know how some fandoms just keep piling on the fic, so you’re like, “I’ll just wait one more day, so I can read a few more and include them on the list!” and then two weeks later it’s still happening and you finally have to go, “NO, I HAVE TO YELL ABOUT THIS NOW, NOT IN ANOTHER MONTH.” and yet people still keep posting fic? That’s me yelling at STAR WARS fandom about how much wonderful fic there is and that I cannot keep up with it and it’s the best problem to have! Because, oh, this collection has some incredible fic, so many of them that I want to shove right at people and yell at them to read this amazing thing, and how brilliant this fandom is.

Six sentence Sunday. (On a Tuesday)

Thanks for tagging me @funkypoacher ! Tagging @paliseizy @corancoranthemagicalman @needsmoreexplosions @impalaanddemons and @vairasmythe

I do not have six WIPs to share I don’t know how y’all do it.

From I Fought The Law:

It took Pearl a moment to organise her thoughts. She wasn’t used to speaking them out loud, which meant second guessing them. Because we fucked and then I found out he was lying to me and apparently I want to give him the chance to do it again, was a part of it; but that was definitely unbecoming of a Captain.

“Because he’s the best we have at hacking terminals and we need him to reprogram it,” she said eventually.

“How come Parvati isn’t doing that? She’s the greatest engineer in the colony.”

“Parvati is working out what we need the ships to do. And it’s much easier for her to do that on the Unreliable, with ADA as backup.” And she’ll be less flustered, she thought, because she can handle four dimensional math with deadly chemicals way better than she can handle us staring over her shoulder. “Max is going to tell the terminal what to do, once Parvati tells him. Nyoka’s here to watch our backs.” It sounded so simple when she laid it out that way.

“Heist of the century, right? The Board’s not gonna know what hit em when we’re done, boss! How about me, what’s my job?”

“Rapt bait!” Max snapped before she had a chance to reply, and they were off again.

From an untitled thing about pre-OSI Max, which may also become part of I Fought The Law:

The Vicar of Max’s township when he was growing up was Benjamin Stryker. He made the same stupid joke about rejecting nominative determinism every time he came to the school for Scripture class. But when Max knocked on the Mission door he asked him to come in and told him he could call him Vicar Ben.

He lead Max through to his office, had him sit in a red padded leather chair. Max was at the stage where his arms and legs were too long for him, and at home he always seemed to be either perching or slouching against the wooden furniture. This was different; this was a chair he could relax in; only he couldn’t relax, because the Vicar was watching him from behind his desk with a calm smile, and he’d been sent to the Vicar for extra study because he was chaotic.

“I know what you did, Maximillian; I won’t shame you by making you confess to it again. But I will ask you: why did you do it?”

Max clenched his fists, pressing his lips together. His voice was changing, and it might betray him by cracking at any moment. He couldn’t have the Vicar think he was crying.

“He made me angry,” he said eventually.

Vicar Ben nodded.

From a stupid Aquabats Picard thing which I nevertheless had to stop writing cause it was making me sad:

The Commander walked along the beach like he’d done a million times before, only this time he felt drawn and driven by something inside, a feeling that was like hungry but not quite. He stopped, the surf pounding in his ears as the wet blue sand sunk away beneath his feet. Jimmy was there, just a couple feet away, like he’d been expecting him. He had his notebook with him, the one he used for music and science and super smart robot stuff; only right now he was sketching in it. The figures looked super familiar, but the Commander couldn’t quite recognise them.

“Would you like to finish it, Sir?” Jimmy asked, his voice all warm, calm and exciting at the same time.

The Commander groaned. “Dude, I don’t know how!” It was so distracting, Jimmy was right there in front of him, his bright blue eyes, his cool metal hands so strong but so skilful, and he needed the Commander’s help...

He woke with a snort, dawn light streaming through the window. The Commander used to be able to sleep like a champ; but now the afternoon naps he used to take for the pure enjoyment of it were a necessity. His hair was stiff and streaked with grey when he went to the mirror, sharpie in hand. He dressed in his favourite rashguard, then wandered down towards the beach through the traditional estate of the Bat Commander, his home ever since the resettlement of Aquabania. The younger him would have thought it was awesome.

Jimmy wasn’t there, because of course he wasn’t. He hadn’t been there for twenty years, and hoping any different was dumb. But the Commander knew now what he hadn’t in the dream. The sketch had been of Jimmy Jr, and that had to mean something, right? One of the few rad things about getting old was that his powers had finally come in. Or maybe they’d been there all along, but the young Commander had been too impatient to recognise his psychic visions as hints and metaphors rather than straight-up instructions.

Corndog Industries, that was the place to start. Corndog hadn’t been seen in years, but he’d built Jimmy, knew more about what he was capable of than maybe even Jimmy himself. If there was any hope at all, it was there.

The Commander raised his clenched fist. “Let’s go!” he announced, but there was no one there to hear him.

WIP tag meme

aaah, I was tagged over 2 months ago by @parkkate O.O sorry for not doing this sooner @parkkate​ XD I’ve been offline for a few months! Just now catching up on everything I missed! but I’m ignoring asks for now because my inbox is a mess

The Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

I’m gonna cheat and only do this for my drarry wips, since I post everything else on another account now, and tbh I have so many drarrys it’s still gonna be a long ass post XD

Oh man *sweats nervously* I’m a bit of a hoarder in all aspects of my life...I don’t even know where to begin! 

I’m not tagging anyone cos I was tagged 2 months ago and I have no idea who has and hasn’t done this and don’t want to be a pain. But if you wanna do it, go a head, and please tag me so I can be nosy and hopefully find someone with a wip problem as bad as my own so I can be less embarrassed XD

Also I’m putting this under a cut for reasons

1. 4th year au idea 

Sooooo, right off the bat, I often open a new file to jot down an idea even though I have docs specifically to dump ideas...and then at some point during the process of jotting down basic details of the idea...I start writing it....? This is one such occurrence...but I had to open it to check...and now I want to keep writing it XD

But also yikes it’s super dark

2. ... 4th year au idea

I swear, this is an entirely different wip and I am going ‘wtf’ at myself because wtf that’s confusing! I had also totally forgotten the existence of this before opening it....probably because of the name of it and the only reason I apparently have 2 files the exact same name is that one is a word doc and one is a libre office doc XD

3. drarry character death idea

Soooo, I need to stop turning idea files into wips without changing the names because I actually forget they are wips apparently

Also, I really want to finish this RIGHT NOW IT HURTS SO GOOD GIMME GIMME GIMME

4. Veela fic followup

LOL LOL LOL I’m rewriting my veela fic so I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to end up doing with this XD I might have to try and merge it with the re-write if the story has a similar outcome when I’m done. or maybe I’ll just turn this into its own thing....

5. Veela fic present tense

I really need to get back to working on this, this is actually the full re-write that re-doing the tenses spawned...I was binge writing this before my life went to hell but then my life went to hell and I went offline for like three months and didn’t do any writing or anything XD

although, the last time I looked at it I got the itch to change it back to past tense so who fucking knows what I’ll do with it now

6. Veela fic Draco pov

Curse my obsession with alternate povs of the same story and Draco for being such a good angsty pov

7. Veritaserum idea start

At least this one has ‘start’ in it so I know it is in fact a wip and not just an idea outline XD

7. Veritaserum

So, turns out I started that fic over in a new file and just left the old one lying around XD I do that too often. I should delete that other one...

Also...this better not turn into another ‘Amortentia’ with me unable to think of a fucking title and going with the file name because lame

This is also my first time trying to do god’s eye 3rd person instead of 3rd person pov...also first time trying to do this weird structure thing...I dunno but I like it XD

8.  CTS followup

9. CTS sequel

Two separate followups set at different times in the same story verse... I hate myself. I love them both. I can’t pick which one to stop writing so I’m gonna keep them both around and try and make them merge at some point...

10. MMB saying sorry

11. another erase the shame

12. next erase the shame

I work on followups and lose interest so often (usually because people bug me for followups and I get very ‘fuck you’ about it and stop writing them...but I keep them around and tinker with them every now and then soooo they’re still technically wips

13. Tea and Coffee oneshot series (Tea and Coffee, Coffee and Dark Marks, The Cottage Kitchen, next untitled one)

There’s also a present tense version of the first one of those *sweats nervously* first 3 are finished, of course, but my original purpose is lost to them becoming a long fic soo....gonna merge them into one long fic soon...once I decide what tense I like better......kill me now

14. Communion of the Soul (folder name)

This is the sequel to One Touch and this is spread across 5 files because apparently I did that and even though each time I got to work on it I have to figure out which file holds which part of the sequel timeline and which I feel like working on...I have yet to merge them into one file to make my life easier...

15. Crumbling Facade

ugh working on this always makes me want to re-write restraint and actually put in the major plot line, or what was supposed to be Harry’s major plot line before the relationship crap got away from me and I had to cut out all the plot stuff because by the time I got around to addressing it, it started reading like a completely different fic and I had to cut a huge chunk and end it instead, because back then I sucked more than I do now and couldn’t juggle

sooo...I still work on this in starts and stops and then get frustrated for having to stick to Restraint’s chain of events when I have better ideas now for working in Harry’s plot about his damn magic problem and ARRGEHGEHGFVEDHDBVUIOFNBFKDB EFBVJ

I should just let Crumbling Facade take me where it wants to take me and fuck Restraint

16. Potter’s Insatiable Heart

This is my longest wip at 130k XD and I’m stalling now because if I keep going with it where I was intending to go it will end up my longest fic and I’m getting intimidated by the length and how much work it will be to edit that long of a fic so I just go in and write a few paragraphs now and again, get scared of the length and move on to another wip XD

I also periodically binge read this bitch because I love it to death even though it’s severely flawed XD

17. Corset Drarry

oh boy, when I started writing this this I was weirded out by writing a kink I didn’t understand and kind of tailed off and left it...then I did kinktober for voltron and now I’m laughing at myself because corsets and lingerie is so fucking tame after that kinktober list and all the the crap I wrote for it XD

18. Music in the Periphery

Emily bugs me about finishing this a lot...I bug me about finishing it, progress is non-existent because I have a clear plan for it and when I have a clear plan I can’t write for shit

19. Saying Sorry (Round 2) (MMB)

I gotta kick that habit of starting over with something but keeping the first attempt and still working on it parallel to the second attempt, because then I wind up with 2 fics too similar to each other to post both and I’m completely unable to pick which one I like more *facepalm*

Also, MMB is dead if I can’t stop turning the next fic attempts into angst, I just look at that big fluffy mess and want to angst it all up

20. scrapped MMB ficlets - theo’s letter

not technically drarry thought the greater series is drarry...torn between making it mmb or making it its own fic for a rare pair

21. Weather the Storm

*cries* my 6th year war au, I have such plans for this, but the plans get in the way of writing =(

22. Soulmate AU (folder name)

fucking hell, this is 10+ files and I’m not naming all of them, current count is 5 completed versions 60k+ each, 1 incomplete alternate version, all of which I’m seriously unsatisfied with, none of which I can bear to delete, all of which I periodically go and tinker with, thus leaving them all wips i’m such a fucking hoarder but also I have never gotten over all the awful comments that were on the original soulmate fic on ffnet before my purge and now I can’t ever be satisfied unless it is perfect and wont result in such horrible comments again

23. Turnabout (folder name)

Once again, multiple wips in here of the same 60k finished fic I’ve been unhappy with since the moment I finished it and keep trying to fix by starting over and changing things here and there to change the course of the story. Honestly ready to hit the delete button with this one unless my latest attempt pans out, liking it so far buuuut I’m a mess about my writing so who knows

In the Ways that Matter was based off this fic XD

24. Dependency 

Oh boy, I abandoned this cos it was so dark I got too uncomfortable writing it...I’ve since started revisiting it after being in the Voltron fandom gave me a new tolerance range for dark content XD

Plan on posting this on anon if I ever finish it, obviously changing the title XD it stopped being relevant after the first 30k anyway 

25. Dependency V2

LOL light version of the above that removes most of the dark aspects while maintaining the core plot, but I’m finding it a bit dull XD not sure how long I’ll keep trying to chug along with it

26. *censored title*

hahahaha omg why is this in a different subfolder, this is actually one of the soulmate au ones only it’s actually a spin off au of the original soulmate one I from ffnet and therefore it’s new ground and I’m less unhappy with it

.....I’m probably going to stop working on turnabout today and work on this instead now

(censoring the name because I might post this on anon because I’m too scared to post another drarry soulmate fic under my own name)

27. Retrospection

Sooo, I’m always on and off this fic cos it triggers my anxiety and depression, but fuck that I want to write it so I keep trying XD

I’m also thinking of splitting the two main plots and only going with 1 and using the other to write another story....see if that eases how difficult it is for me to write without self triggering

28. Sequel to mornings

29. Sunrise (loose prequel to mornings)

30. Surrender

I had no idea what this was, opened it and then holy shit THIS BITCH, THIS SLOW BURN FRIENDS TO LOVERS PIECE OF BULLSHIT. I DON’T WRITE SLOW BURN! I DON’T WRITE FRIENDS TO LOVERS. I REFUSE.

but also I really really really love what I wrote so far and now I’m itching to write more *cries* making this list is leaving me with so many open files to work on

31. day 2 ass worship

32. day 3 sensory deprivation

*laughs nervously* the kinktober oneshots that starting turning into a long fic hahahaha cos I really needed more wips

33. Perception of Angels

*wistful sigh* one day I will be able to finish a heavily plot driven story full of fantasy elements and creatures and magic I made up, and when that day somes, Perception of Angels....or that timetravel war au drarry fic idea I have sitting around.....which isn’t on this list only cos I’m not stupid enough to start writing it

So that’s all the drarry files in my wip folder.... I also have heaps more for other ships and fandoms, but I’m keeping that separate =)

And...now I have some writing to go do, cos after 2 months of being unable to write thanks to the bullshit in my life, I started binge writing again 2 days ago =) and opening a few of these to remind myself what they were has a lit a fire under my ass

WIP Post

so here’s two wips that y’all can choose from for me to finish, both of which are horror based

1. untitled pixleye horror

Robin didn’t know what he’d gotten himself into, but he knew it wasn’t good.

Turns out accepting a job offer from a shady government agency wasn’t a good idea after all. If only he’d known about the things he would see, the things he had to do to people, maybe he would’ve said no. But Robin was in too deep now, just another part of this horrible machine that did unspeakable things to people. He’d been lured in with the promise of helping the public, but all they did was torture these poor people and put them through horrible experiments. Sure, some of the things they did were for the safety of everyone on the outside, like quarantining deadly diseases and compounds. But most of their deeds were heinous, funded by the world powers to experiment on ordinary people and turn them into things that man wasn’t meant to see. Robin secretly hoped that one day, one of the experiments would turn on him and end his misery, but he knew he wouldn’t be that lucky.

He’d been going about his normal workday, administering serums and monitoring the security system when he got the call.

Robin was being assigned to a new case, one that nobody had seen before. He sighed as he walked over to the containment room and accessed the files, puzzled at what he saw. Apparently the subject, Jack, was almost completely healthy despite some strange substance invading his blood. There were no effects so far except for slight tremors and a fever, everything else showing up normal. But what was strange about this particular case was that the unknown substance wasn’t of earthly origin. The others knew it was impossible for just any civilian to enter outer space, so how could some unknown bacterium infect him? Apparently that’s what Robin was tasked to do, to figure out the source of the infection and monitor Jack’s condition. Robin sighed, knowing that this was going to be another one of those boring cases where the subject would probably die quickly and leave him alone once again. Robin took a deep breath and unlocked the containment room door, stepping inside.

He hated the sterile smell and feel of these rooms, how it made him feel like he was trapped in a prison, being constantly watched. He could only imagine what these people felt like, being watched by someone like Robin 24/7 like they were rats in a cage. The light above him was harsh as he stepped towards Jack, the other man sitting with his legs crossed on the steel table.

“So when do I get to go home?” Jack’s voice wavered, panic lacing his words. Robin tried to smile gently to make him feel comfortable, but all he could manage was a slight quirk of his lips.

“I’m afraid that’s not happening. You’re here under quarantine until we can find out what’s making you sick,” Robin hated doing this, hated telling the subjects that they were stuck here and would probably die in the confines of this facility. He could see panic settling in Jack’s features, his face dropping.

“No, that’s not true! They said it’d just be a checkup!” his voice was growing louder now, cracking as Jack tried to get up. But Robin was there to stop him, cornering him. “I can’t just stay here forever!”

“If you want me to be honest, you’ll probably die here just like everyone else. You may not be showing major symptoms yet, but whatever you have is something that shouldn’t exist,” as soon as the words left Robin’s mouth, he heard a sob being ripped from Jack’s throat.

“What the fuck kind of place is this? So you just keep people here and let them die? I’m not sick, I swear! It’s just a fever, nothing else,” Jack pleaded, tears in his eyes. “Just please, let me out.”

“As much as I want to, I can’t. Just calm down and let me run some tests, alright?”

Jack nodded, sniffling as Robin saw what hope he had left in his eyes fade, accepting his fate. He hated that it made him genuinely smile, seeing Jack give up hope. At least this one wouldn’t fight, he thought to himself. Robin set up the equipment, hooking Jack up to the various machines. His readings were a bit low, but they were still normal. Oddly enough though, his skin was slightly cold to the touch, even though the room was very warm. Robin could feel Jack tremble slightly beneath his touch, like there was energy thrumming through his whole body. Jack was surprisingly calm for someone who just realized that he was probably doomed, but Robin was thankful that he wasn’t a fighter. It was way too quiet for Robin’s liking, so he decided to try and initiate some small talk.

“So, what did you like to do? Y'know, outside of here?” Robin tried to keep his tone light and conversational, but all he got was a snicker from Jack.

“Oh so now you wanna know about my life, huh? Before you leave me to rot in here,” Jack sneered, jerking away from Robin’s touch. But Robin caught his arm, pulling Jack back towards him.

“Look, I know you’re upset okay? But I didn’t do this to you. I’ll try to make everything for you as comfortable as I can. So let’s just talk,” Robin sighed, trying to fake his best smile. Jack must’ve bought it because he started smiling, albeit shyly.

“I was really into video games. Mainly the really difficult ones just because I think its fun to rage at them,” Jack laughed, starting to warm up to Robin. “I also really like the odd ones, y'know? Like the ones that make no sense at first but eventually you figure it out. Maybe that’s how this will go. Maybe we’ll find out what’s wrong before anything happens?” Robin’s heart almost broke at the renewed hope in Jack’s eyes, hoping that this one would have a quick and painless death. If it wasn’t for their situation right now, Robin thought that they might’ve become friends. But sometimes life wasn’t fair, and he knew that all too well.

“Let’s hope so,” Robin smiled back at him, going to retrieve the needle for a blood sample. He saw Jack’s face turn pale at the sight of the needle, shrinking back against the wall as Robin brought it to his skin.

“It’s just a needle. You’ll be fine. Just take a deep breath for me, okay?” Robin put on his gloves and gently gripped Jack’s arm, pushing the needle into his skin.

2. vamp pj/jack

Jack had a problem, and that problem was PJ.

They’d first met when Jack had started college, opening his dorm room to find PJ clutching a half empty blood bag in his hands. Jack didn’t have a problem with vampires, in fact he even specified that he didn’t care if his roommate was human or not. But he hadn’t actually expected to be roomed with one, especially not one as cute as PJ. They’d gotten to know each other, Jack helping PJ schedule his night classes and secure blood for him. He quickly found out that PJ was weird, even for a vampire. Sometimes Jack would come back to the room, only to find PJ hanging from the ceiling, tapping away at his phone. Then there was the obvious coffin on his side of the room, which he claimed was just for decoration. After all, Jack had never seen him sleep in it, so he was inclined to believe that PJ was telling the truth. He would also keep Jack up all night with his shitty vampire movies that seemed to love unironically. It hadn’t taken long for Jack to fall for him, daydreaming of what it’d be like to kiss him, even with the fangs. But nothing ever came of it, the two of them carrying on with just being friends. That was years ago though, and now they were roommates once again.

Living with him wasn’t a problem either, even though it was sometimes annoying with him constantly blaring music at the latest hours. That and the fact that he was very messy with eating and Jack was now a master at removing blood stains from every piece of furniture they owned.  Sure it was a challenge, but Jack wouldn’t have it any other way. The real problem though was that Jack’s little crush had grown into full on pining, and he thought that maybe he was in love. But Jack knew that dating PJ would only end in heartbreak for the both of them, since only one of them was immortal. Whenever Jack got sick, he could see the way it upset PJ, knowing that he could die at any time, leaving PJ all alone. He saw the way that PJ looked at him differently when he was sick, how concerned he looked even if it was just a cold. He hated seeing Jack like that, hated knowing that he was so fragile and mortal. At one point, Jack had brought up the idea of PJ turning him eventually, only to be immediately shot down. He said that the turning process was painful and that he’d never put Jack through that, which led to their first major fight. But eventually they got over it, the idea long forgotten.

Now though, Jack was thinking about it again.

It’d been a stressful day, both of them on edge because of Jack’s sudden cold that just wouldn’t go away. PJ wouldn’t leave him alone about it and Jack was already done with him, getting in the car to drive off to somewhere quiet where he could think. Unfortunately it was getting dark now, and he knew he shouldn’t be out after sunset. This area of town was relatively safe after dark, with barely any reports of vampire attacks. Still though, Jack knew that he had to be getting home and that PJ would be calling him any minute now, just about to wake up. Jack sighed as he thought about the situation at hand, wishing that things could be easy. Just as he rose to his feet, he heard something rustle in the trees behind him.

“Probably just hearing things,” Jack mumbled to himself, stopping to dial PJ’s number as he turned towards the car.  In an instant, he was being slammed against a tree, pain blossoming throughout his body and his phone dropping to the ground. He tried to struggle against whoever was behind him, but he was trapped by their hands on his shoulders, pressing his face into the tree.

“The struggle is always the best part,” Jack heard the person laugh behind him, their cold hands pressing into his shoulders. Jack’s heart dropped at the realization that this was a vampire, that he’d been stupid enough to walk right into their domain.

“Look, just let me go alright?” Jack tried to sound brave, but his voice came out high and scared, making the vampire laugh.

“We both know that isn’t going to happen,” he could almost feel the man’s smirk against the side of his neck, his breath ghosting along the skin. Jack tried to push back against him, hoping to fight him off, but he knew he was no match for a vampire’s strength.

“You’re so cute, you know. Almost too cute to kill,”

"eyes" for the wip meme

I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry. you clocked me. why you gotta do me like this? literally every wip i have has this word multiple times. too many times. for those of you playing along at home: 13

draft: lose inhibitions/give exhibitions“Anyone know how much she’s had to drink?”

There are shrugs and rolled eyes all around. Nanny Lawson at it again.

“You weren’t counting?” Dusty jokes, turning back to the table.

Mike won’t dignify that with a response. Because they’ll definitely make fun of him if he does.

draft: a habit worth forming or she’s overboard, self assuredFor their part, the twins drag her past the kitchen island and into the living room, eagerly jabbering about the new video game they have and how their dad hasn’t let them have a turn yet.

Sure enough, Blip leans intently forward on the couch, eyes tracing the sword-wielding elf man on the screen.

“You nerd,” Ginny teases. “You would love Zelda.”

draft: another chance for us to get it rightOut on the dance floor, though, her dark skirt swirling around her thighs, she was lit up. Dark curls bounced with her movements, whipping into her face and catching on her ears. Her head tilted back and Mike could hear the echoes of her laugh rattle through his mind even if there was no way he could actually hear it over the music.

From clear across the room, Ginny’s sparkling eyes connected with his.

draft: baseball is pretty good too“Do you know how many times Evelyn’s called me in the past three hours? Nine times! I don’t think I’ve talked to her on the phone nine times before…”

The barrage of words died off as Mike’s eyes trailed over Ginny, at first to check her over for life-threatening injury as Evelyn apparently feared, but then to take in Ginny’s choice of pajamas.

draft: way more than you hate itThe little girl nodded solemnly, eyes wide. Her gaze flicked up to Mike and he did his best to give her a friendly smile. She didn’t run off screaming, which he counted as a win, but also turned her attention back to the woman before her, clearly deciding Mike wasn’t worth her time.

Mike couldn’t fault her logic.

draft: untitled bed sharing fic“Right,” he managed, turning towards his suitcase. It wasn’t as if he traveled with pajamas, mostly just stripping down to his boxers before hitting the hay, but he had to have something she could wear.

Finally, he offered up two options, figuring Ginny could pick. Her eyes darted between the Under Armour t shirt and his worn in flannel.

draft: guys like you ch. 2“Noah and I have decided we’re better off as friends.”

“You axed his benefits?” he smirks.

Ginny just rolls her eyes, but doesn’t disagree. Instead, she forces herself to turn back to her homework spread on the table. She’s supposed to be prepping a history essay that’s due next week and Noah had already distracted her.

draft: easy as 1, 2, 3Apparently, now that she had a better vantage, pointing wasn’t enough. Instead, she curled her fingers into his beard and tugged, like it was a set of reins and he was her noble steed.

“Ow! Mads, gentle,” he reminded her, still moving to the right the way she’d wanted. Immediately, his eyes went to the handiwork of his daughter, what she must have been pointing out all along.

draft: why do the yankees always win? ch. 6“I just think you should have told me that you were seeing someone, Ginny Bean,” comes Janet’s worried voice over the connection. Ginny suppresses the urge to roll her eyes before remembering that her mother’s all the way in North Carolina and can’t see her. She rolls her eyes. “I mean, to find out from Mrs. Hutchinson down the street because she’d been reading Us Weekly...”

draft: untitled smut fic“C’mon, Mike,” she said, skewering him with an unimpressed look even as her smile wouldn’t fade. She gestured up and down her long, lean form, “Have you seen me?”

He smirked at that, settling into the mattress and tucking his hands behind his head. There was no way he would ever get used to seeing Ginny walk around in his clothes. “Kinda hard not to see you, babe.”

Ginny rolled her eyes, but Mike could see the dimples threatening to make an appearance.

draft: anything you can doShe shrugged, the hitch in her shoulders sending her sliding over the edge of the mattress. Just before her head hit the ground, Ginny caught herself on her forearms. Mike snorted. In retaliation, she heaved herself into a flawless tripod, years of yoga training kicking in to keep her balanced. With a little effort, Ginny lowered one leg enough to wriggle her toes right in Mike’s face.

He rolled his eyes and gave her ankle a sharp tug.

draft: men of actionHe couldn’t say with any certainty when the dreams started.

Probably too soon. Before he even knew or respected her. But he knew what she looked like and the way her eyes went wide when they first made eye contact. He also knew how much he enjoyed that reaction from the women he slept with, although it usually came when they were both wearing far fewer clothes. It wasn’t that big of a leap for his brain to make.

draft: untitled fic 1“Gin?” he breathes, hushed and a little dreamy.

“Shh,” she murmurs back, taking the opportunity to press in closer, “go back to sleep.”

Mike doesn’t listen, rolling so he’s halfway on his back, face tipped towards her, eyes still closed. “Missed you.”

Wintergatan “Secret Tracks”

These “secret tracks” are not really secret, but they are tracks that haven’t been assigned their own album or bandcamp page, making them a little more obscure and hard-to-find. (As of Jan 27 2017)

On a related note, Wintergatan has a lot of non-album tracks on their bandcamp page, especially the “unreleased” demo Emerson. Check those out too!

You can find a folder full of .mp3 rips here, to spare you the trouble of using youtube2mp3 converters on each individual link. There should be 17 mp3s in that folder (though some are versions of the same song). Furthermore, a zip of all those files can be downloaded here. WIP

Hopefully this will tide you over until the next official album release...

New Songs (6)

Intro (Demo) -- a prerecorded electronic track, played as a demo before concerts. Appears in Roskilde 2013.

Giorgio by Moroder -- Wintergatan’s take on the track by Daft Punk. Played as a song in their 2016 concert set.

Untitled -- a preview for the next album, maybe? It was part of Wintergatan’s concert set, 2016. This recording is from Haldern Pop. (Recall that Tornado was first played on tour before being released as a single; perhaps this track might follow suit.)

Untitled -- the BGM for Wintergatan’s video, announcing that the Marble Machine was finished. Also appears in the video “Wintergatan 2017 Plans - Double Album, etc", though it gets tragically cut off.

There’s no version where Martin’s not talking over the song (as of posting). And it hasn’t been officially played anywhere (on tour or in studio), so possibly a scrapped demo that was re-released as a video BGM (like the tracks Pedro and Emerson). It could also be a preview of the next album.

Untitled -- BGM from Wintergatan’s video “Sommarfagel at Haldern Pop 2016: Behind the Scenes”. Not to be confused with Untitled, the other song played on-stage at Haldern Pop 2016. (So many untitleds! Maybe I should have numbered them...) It’s also got a unique sort of “rolling” sound, which sounds a bit like the turning crank of the Marble Machine 1.

Possibly a preview for the next album, though it could also be a one-off. Doesn’t seem to appear anywhere else--see above for theorizing.

"Pedro” -- untitled BGM from a Wintergatan Wednesday video, “90 degree Kick Drum Solved”. Martin Molin calls it Untitled, but there are so many Untitled tracks already here, that I might as well distinguish this one by giving it a name. This one’s named after the person who helped Martin Molin with the 90 degree kick drum. A weirdly melancholy piano-focused track, apparently found in a scrapped demos folder.

Concert-only Remixes (5)

Remixes of songs that appear on the Wintergatan bandcamp page. Every single song has a variant for the concert stage (due to instrument portability and other limitations); however, the most significantly changed songs are Sommarfågel Paradis, and All Was Well.

All Was Well (Concert Demo Mix) -- a prerecorded, more electronic/synth-inspired version of All Was Well. Played as a demo track before 2016 concerts, during which Wintergatan would prepare. I chose the Gothenburg 2016 concert recording to link here. Another version can be found here (Stockholm 2016).

All Was Well (Concert Mix) -- another version of All Was Well, featuring more melodica and synth sound, whistling, and no modulin. The differences only show up about a minute into the song. Played live during their 2016 concert set. (I chose this particular version because of very high quality audio, but the music box seemed to spin a little faster in this version than in other recordings. Normally, Molin slows when he gets to the second part of the song, I think.)

And all of these are different from the version of “All Was Well (Music Box and Modulin Version)” that does appear on the bandcamp page. And that version is different from the original All Was Well, from the Wintergatan (2013) album. They have a lot of versions of All Was Well...

Starmachine2000 (Concert Mix) -- from Debaser Strand 2016.

TODO - add link for Live @ Haldern Pop 2016 video

Sommarfågel (Concert Mix) -- a variation of Sommarfågel, adapted for the concert stage. The full concert mix can be found here. (Note--this isn’t in the mp3 folder yet, sorry.) Although there’s a few mistakes, the audio quality is very good, so I consider this the best version.

Paradis (Concert Mix) -- I don’t really...like...their concert version of Paradis...Paradis (from the album) is my all-time absolute favorite song, and I’m too used to hearing it in polished studio quality. On tours, they play the theremin part live with a real theremin, and theremins are famously flaky and hard to keep on pitch. I’ve linked it here for completeness, but it’s not in the folder. This recording is from Haldern Pop 2016.

Miscellaneous Tracks (3)

Sommarfågel (Music Box Mix) -- a simple remix of Sommarfågel, played at the end of the original Sommarfågel music video, in 2013.

Visa Från Utanmyra -- a traditional song originally played by piano player Jan Johansson, given a Wintergatan touch. It’s a video on Wintergatan’s channel. Technically a secret track, but of these, it’s the easiest to find--so as such, there’s no download link in the folder.

Marble Machine (Original Piano Cover) -- The Marble Machine got an official piano cover after fans requested it. However, that piano cover is a little different from the original that inspired the fan requests. This is the original.

Special mention goes to Detektivbyran’s discography, all of it-- It’s Martin Molin’s old band, featuring some similar sounds. I’ve written a lot about the evolution of Martin’s sound, you can find that post here
