*Please note, I had to fudge a few numbers... as for some reason AO3 didn't put Deep Deep Down in the 2023 statistics and only put it under 2024. Yet, the majority of the existing fic was posted in 2023 (19 out of 20 chapters were posted in 2023). I added the D5 numers to the 2023 numbers, however... it is important to note that there was one chapter posted on 1 January 2024... so those numbers would include that. STILL... for the FUN OF IT...
My 2023 Ao3 Wrapped!
I'm guessing there's probably like 303484059 of these types of graphics floating around, but I wanted to make my own.
Template under the cut!
To find your own stats:
Go to your ao3 dashboard
Select "Statistics"
Click on the "2023" button
If anyone fills this out, please @ me! I would love to see all the different stats.

Currently writing Disney Night for Dancing in the Light and it's definitely the longest chapter so far, and it might actually be the longest chapter of the fic. Especially as it's not done yet and it's already 2.4k words.
#the next step#tns#not liveblogging#mattie’s fics#dwts au#dancing in the light#still gotta finish jacquie's section and the actual filming#this chapter is easily going to surpass 3k#and i know some people write chapters upwards of 10k#but this is long for me#it ended up being just about 4K

Dancing With Visions - The Dance I Enjoyed - Cumbia - Tighnari
Author Notes: So, I wasn't initially going to include cumbia as a dance for this series but after the lovely @theroseredreaper suggested I include a chapter using it and even suggested I use Tighnari for it, I couldn't resist. So here it is and I truly hope I did a good job of writing this dance style! The performance in this fic was inspired by the youtube videos "How to dance:Cumbia - Basics (Part 1)” and “Cumbia Turns with Arm Combination | How To Dance Cumbia | Online Dance Classes | Waldo & Jacqui”. This fic was written while listening to the song “A Donde Vas” By Carolina Lao. Just like the rest of this series, Reader is female. I hope you enjoy!
If you would like to read more of this series, the fics can be found here: Dancing with Visions Masterlist.
Type: Female reader/ dance/ fluff/bit of flirting from Tighnari /sfw
Word Count: 1283
Collei sat off to the side, her hands resting on her legs as she leaned forward with anticipation, and I found myself smiling at the young lady, shaking my head slightly.
Somehow, I wasn’t surprised that she’d decided to learn a dance. She was always pushing herself to try new things, and I had no doubts she would want to show her new moves off to her friend, Amber, on her next trip to Mondstadt.
I hadn’t hesitated when Tighnari had asked for my assistance teaching her. It had been quite some time since I’d last danced with my friend from school.
Me and Tighnari had stayed in touch, of course, but with his busy schedule, dancing was hardly anything he had time for.
In fact, most of the time our interactions were just correspondence through letters. I was more likely to see Collei or Cyno than I was to see the ever-busy forest watcher.
I stood next to the young, green-haired lady while we waited for the man in question to arrive. And after a brief moment, I glanced her way once more with a slight smile, noting the nervous way her fingers were lacing and unlacing themselves, “Don’t worry, the cumbia isn’t hard, and, as you’ll see once Tighnari gets here, it’s a fun little dance.”
I walked over to the middle of the floor where I’d already blocked out three squares with tape, two in front and one in the back, “I’ll show you the basics real quick though, so you can watch for that when me and Tighnari do dance.”
Collei nodded, her eyes already bright as she looked from the squares and back to me. Under her fascinated stare, I stepped into the two front squares that were side by side and glanced up at her.
“So I’m going to tap forward with the heel of my right foot before stepping back into this back square. Then cross over with the left foot into the right front square before bringing my right foot back forward to stand in the same right, front square with my feet together.” As I spoke, I did as I said, pausing between motions to check if she was following.
“Now tap forward with the heel of your left foot before stepping back with that same foot into the back square.” She nodded at my instructions, watching my feet closely and causing me to smile in quiet amusement as I continued, “Now cross over with the right foot into the left front square and bring your left foot up to stand with your feet together.”
She looked up at me when I stopped, and I smiled, “You just keep doing this same motion over and over, though you’ll have a slight twist in your body as you do the motions to tempo. Easy, right?”
I quickly demonstrated the same steps at the actual dancing tempo, smiling as she nodded with a smile of her own.
“Already getting started without me, I see,” My motions froze at the sound of a familiar voice, and I twisted to see Tighnari smiling at both of us from the doorway he was leaning up against.
I crossed my arms, smiling at the young man and tilting my head slightly in a teasing fashion, “Well, you weren’t showing up, so I thought I’d go ahead and start teaching her.”
He pushed himself off the door frame, a smile on his face as he walked over to where I stood, even as he looked over at Collei, “And, how has she done? Have you understood everything Y/n said?”
Collei nodded, smiling as her eyes darted between the two of us, “Yeah, everything made a lot of sense.”
I smiled almost smugly over at my partner, “See? I’m a good teacher.”
“Uh, huh, I guess that means you still remember the steps then?” His tone held distinct undertones of teasing that all but had me rolling my eyes.
“Of course I still remember the steps; I’m the one who signed us up for classes, remember?” I twisted, taking his hands in mine as I grinned at him and already beginning to shift slightly to the music that Collei started for us.
His lips twitched up into a fully visible smile, “Yes, as I recall it took quite a bit of time away from our other school work.”
I snorted, starting to shift with Tighnari, both of us already matching the beat and falling into the rhythm like we’d never stopped dancing together, “It was good for you.”
His eyebrows rose as we started to turn, sarcasm filling his voice, “Enriching even.”
I laughed quietly, letting him spin me lightly before my arm raised so that he could spin under it. A small part of me wondered if Collei was able to follow us. If not, we could always break it down for her later.
Off to the side, I could see her smiling, bobbing along to the music as she watched the two of us.
Tighnari spun me again, having long since let go of one of my hands so that he could better shift around the space with me, a smile on his face as he watched me.
I twisted so that my back was now to him, and he shifted as I extended one arm. He took my hand as his other hand rested lightly on my waist, and I glanced at him over my shoulder, my voice softening so that Collei couldn’t hear me over the music, “Say, why do you think Collei wanted to learn the cumbia?”
I wasn’t able to keep the curiosity out of my voice, and he sighed slightly, a smile still on his face as he matched my volume, “I may have mentioned something about how you made me take classes. It probably piqued her interest.”
I snickered slightly, twisting so that he could spin under one of my arms, now holding both my hands before he led me to the same, “See? I knew you enjoyed it. Why else would you have mentioned it to your student?”
He snorted slightly, shifting so that we were facing each other once more, briefly in a hold more like what one would expect from a partner dance. One of his arms wrapped around me so that he could hold my waist while his other hand held one of my hands, my other arm wrapped around him and my hand pressed to his back, “I’m not so sure it was the dance that I enjoyed so much as the partner.”
He slipped back so that we were only attached by one pair of conjoined hands as I smiled in surprise at him, “Well, aren’t you feeling a little flirty?”
He chuckled slightly before we twisted and let go of one another’s hands.
We both looked up at the same time at Collei as his arm slipped around my back and mine around his shoulders.
The young woman looked at us with a bright smile, and I felt myself smiling in return as Tighnari tilted his head, “Did that all make sense?”
I laughed at his words, shaking my head as he looked my way, “Tighnari, you haven’t even explained it to her yet.”
“Well, you said you had and that you were a good teacher,” He smiled at me, his eyes glimmering and giving away his teasing nature as I gave him a half hug.
I leaned against him before looking over as Collei started speaking, “It did make sense! When do you think I can try?”
Her eyes were bright and her hands pressed together excitedly as I laughed slightly, “As soon as you’re ready!”

####### Elliot hates being interrogated.
He’s the detective. He is the one who should be asking the questions. And yet he always seems to find himself in the hot seat, whether it’s IAB or now. Sitting across from Rebecca Hendrix, trying to describe the indescribable to save his career.
To save Olivia’s.
“She’s experienced, professional, good with the victims. People trust her and they let her get close.”
“And you?” She looks at him and Elliot feels as if he’s walked straight into a trap. “Do you let her get close?”
Close enough to touch, to taste her, to feel her blood rushing under her skin, to smell her in his sleep even when she’s not there, to know her thoughts before she’s even thought them.
“We’re partners, we have to trust each other. Our lives depend on it. A certain amount of closeness is required.”
She hums, an indifferent sound of acknowledgement and it irritates him beyond belief as he watches her flick through the file on her desk.
“You recently separated from your wife. Do you want to talk about that?”
Elliot’s jaw sets.
“We had problems and they grew past the point of fixing. We grew apart.” It doesn’t take a genius to figure out her train of thought. “But not for the reason you’re thinking.”
When she looks back up at him, her eyes are wide and innocent.
“I’m not thinking anything.” But she makes a note in her file anyway. “It says here you’ve been written up several times for excessive violence. Was that a problem in your marriage?”
Elliot nearly stands up, the rage that hits him is indescribable, but his fingers clench into fists by his side and he lets his toes curl as well, tight and tense and ready to snap, all to stop him doing something monumentally stupid.
“No.” It’s bitten out. “That was never one of our problems.”
She flicks through her file again and Elliot can only imagine what it says.
“Has it ever been a problem? Outside of work, I mean?”
All he can think about is bruises on Olivia, his hands wrapped around her arms, the way she winces. And Cragen walking in on them. It has to be there, Cragen had to have told her, and if he lies about it, that’s going to make it worse.
“I would never hurt Olivia.”
He believes it, he does, and it makes Rebecca pick up her pen once again.
“I didn’t say her name.” But it’s interesting you went there. She doesn’t say the words, but her voice does.
####
Writers, this is an invitation to reblog this with an out of context quote from your WIP.
Why? Because I just like hearing things with no context.

Kris! You're truly the queen of angst and so so talented! You're always so kind and sweet and I just love having you around 🥰💙
Jacqui!!! How dare you be so nice to me??!! It's been such an absolute pleasure meeting and getting to know you, my friend. 💜💜💜
And on the whole queen of angst thing, I find it kind of funny because I really didn't set out to be such an angst writer! I genuinely thought I'd only write dark fic when I started out because that was generally what I was reading at the time. Then, right after I posted my first fic (the anniversary of which is next week!!!), the idea for IKISKB hit me, and the rest is history, I guess! The whole thing's been such a fun period of discovery for me. 😊

Might finally write that Jacqui Takeda in every lifetime fic idea.
I won't say stay tuned in case I don't get it done, but... keep an eye out?
Cool.

WHAT ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF HERE?!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

We're both adults your honor! It's nothing but pure happiness from start to finish, I SWEAR your honor. I am nothing but a writer of pure fluff and happiness, I've never written anything else in my life WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO your honor.
*looks down to see the lawyer has written SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! on a piece of paper*

*A Zoe and Frankie locked in a records room WIP and a Jacqui with a tied up EVIL!Kate WIP fall out of my pocket making an awful racket as they roll around the floor like a tin can filled with nails at 3am when you're trying not to wake the house*
Before you say anything... I've never seen those documents in my life. They were CLEARLY planted on me in some CONSPIRACY to paint my character as a writer of FILTH.
I'd like this incident struck from the record please

*The Princess's Language lesson falls out of my pocket again*
I'm gonna mc fuckin' loose it in a second
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
*Trying not to cry again*
Finishing things. Posting things I HAVE finished. Getting my creations past the person I mentioned earlier that blocks me from posting shit. Again fuck you though, you need to open up a whole new court case to get me to talk about that.
SNITCHES. GET. STITCHES. Your honor.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Please be clear on your questions, your honor. I'm clearly struggling here. I dont know what this means. Is this a controversial point? Do people in general have opinions on characters using their own language at times?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
You honor. I come to you on my knees a shattered shell of a human being. I am a broken horse. Please dont rub salt in my wounds that I completed straight smut before I completed gay smut and just accept that it was an unspecified part of the Jemma Redgrave cinematic universe.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
We're both adults! I had a very specific writing method for that fic and though it took me a year to complete, I COMPLETED IT and I was happy with the result.
*The Princess's Language lesson falls out of my pocket again*
Lets just... get the tags over and done with. Interrogation over. I feel like I just got RINSED.

Was thinking about a comment you posted in your fic regarding living independently post s6, especially Lizzie. It's interesting to think for women of her time..it's a scandal to be divorced/estraged from husband, and Lizzies past is also a huge black mark. She will truly be seen as a fallen woman even with the money? Which will impact Charlie as well because she is his mother, like Karl is bullied in school. No respectable man will want to marry her either. I wonder if Arthur Linda never divorced the time they were apart for the same reasons. It's interesting to see where Lizzies arc will go in the movie..but society was never kind to her kind in reality. Eager to see how you tackle these issues, if you do, in your research/writing
Thats actually some really good points you raise, because I was thinking along my usual arc of writing people to the point where they are completely independent but make a conscious choice to partner without the trappings of gender roles/traditional roles being enforced. but a cogent reminder the society of the time itself does not lend itself to this!
I mean, the easy route would be Lizzie as a recognised wealthy widow (a more accepted consideration for women than divorce methinks? I think like Jacqui O without the fascism) and Tommy visiting her in secret, but that’s a little too clean for where I was thinking of taking it.
anyway thanks for the comment because it’s super useful and can only help build more complexity and interest!

Wow, @copperarsenite, digging into the vault for this one.
They're sitting on the sofa and it's quiet.
Both of them are drained. Too drained to even turn on the television to mask the silence. Another long day in court for him, another long day at the hospital by her father's bedside for her.
He told her he didn't want her in the courtroom.
She's trying to respect that.
They're sitting together, she's practically in his lap, she's holding his hand in hers and playing with the digits of his fingers, examining each whorl of fingerprint.
There's very little space between them, but enough to be filled with unsaid words. The things they don't talk about include: a dead classmate on the bridge; the way smoke curls into her lungs and chokes her even now; that at eight o'clock on the dot Cliff will stop by definitely not to check on her; the way her nightmares involve his father (and sometimes him); the way his murder trial echoes his father's.
And the biggest lie of them all, Lilly Kane.
Eventually, the silence is heavier than her fear.
"Do you miss it?"
"Hm?"
There are no words to encompass that hazy, barely there memory.
"Before."
Before car washes and trips to Mexico and ashtrays by the poolside and sleazy affairs and betrayals and accusations and so much bitterness.
He stops breathing, she feels it against him.
"Do you?"
Does she?
"I don't know." She gives a shrug. "It was easier."
"Easier." He echoes. "But was it better?"
Veronica doesn't need to think very long about that.
"No. I..."
Ever since the truth has come out (come out, like she didn't fight tooth and nail, burn her entire life down, and crawl through bloody, burning wreckage to wrest that truth from its hiding place), she has felt relief.
And yet, right down deep, there's also a sliver of shame.
"Was I really that blind? That stupid?"
Air rushes in as he sits up and pulls out of her grasp, all the better to turn and face her fully.
"Veronica, no."
"I loved her." She says. "And she lied so much."
I have a secret. A good one.
"She lied, sure. She was a bitch. She was selfish. But she was ours."
The way he says it feels like a turning point.
Twelve months of throwing her supposed betrayal in her face, she can still hear the hatred in his voice sometimes, the way he'd not only taunted her, but encouraged everyone else.
He'd claimed his Lilly grief and assumed hers was false because it didn't look the same.
She swallows.
"She was a baby."
Lilly was only one year older than her and Logan, not that much younger than they are now.
In truth, however, Veronica feels so much older. She has the impression that Lilly, as worldly and experienced as she believed she was, was little more than a babe in the woods, a toddler dressing up in her mother's clothes, trying to look older than she is.
She never felt the consequences of her actions.
She tottered in too big heels and she fell hard.
"She didn't have the chance to grow."
Logan looks at her, studies her for something, trying to read her expression.
And then he sighs.
"Lucky her."

Need Help Picking A Title For The First Chapter Of My Jinkeda Multi Chaptered Fic!
Sneak Peak of The First Chapter For Context To Help You Decide (Only If You Want To)
Takeda stared up at the ceiling of his bedroom, too tired to actually get up out of bed and do anything.
Well, he's been like this for the last two months, so he isn't surprised. Especially when he's feeling like this after what went down when he was feeling all happy and shit.
First his father Kenshi, then his master and mentor Hanzo who he also looked up to as a father figure, and his now ex girlfriend Jacqui.
Who broke up with him a week right after Takeda found out that his father and mentor both died.
God he had shitty luck
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a sneak peak at the first chapter of my Jinkeda (Kung Jin x Takahashi Takeda) multi chaptered fanfic on AO3. It's called I'm Right Here, and I can't wait for you guys to read it!
So what should the title of the first chapter be?
You decide, and if you have any questions about this fic or why I am writing it please do ask me in my inbox!

I don't know what it is, but with like one or two exceptions, I've had to fight to write Jude's sections. My best guess is I'm more comfortable writing Richelle and Jacquie, but also it might be that I'm just not a huge fan of writing Summer either who is the character, other than Cleo, that she interacts with the most in this fic.
#the next step#tns#not liveblogging#mattie’s fics#dancing in the light#dwts au#anyway I only have to finish this section and then one more and then I'm done writing Jude#as much as I love her I can't wait for that

F@tT Fic Marathon: 341-360
once again doing the write up the morning after i read these because by the time i finished I was too sleepy to coherently write anything (don't be concerned. or do. it's a week full of rehearsals going late into the night for me so I have a lot of sitting around with nothing to do time where I'm still semi-required to be present). here are the stand outs for me!
Ignition Sequence by homsantoft (tofsla) - a look at pre-Twlight Mirage Grey Gloaming/Satellite which I really liked! a good look at her character and the sorta experience of becoming a Satellite
there's a podfic of a previously recced work: If Over-Compressed Jpegs Teach Us Anything, It's That There's No Such Thing as an Acceptable Loss by Dragonomatopoeia, read by growlery
now all the open doors in the world are yours by ivyns - post Marielda Aubrey and Sige friendship time
Something Like Moving On by galaxyowl - Aria goes to the funeral and has some feelings
reaching for you by growlery writes (growlery) - the missing scene where Jacqui goes after Jillian to talk, which I hadn't realized I'd been wanted to read
words read: 62,410 (1,110,539 total)
works remaining: 1,553
next twenty:

Pinned Post! 🕈
Shwmae! I'm Branwen, The Rat Queen and Crovid Matriarch. (Alternative names include, but are not limited to: Jacqueline/Jacquie, Frank/Frankie, Sam/Samuel. Please do try keep to Branwen unless were friends though, thank you!). I often go by Tusk, or AverageTusk/Average_Tusk on most platforms; so if you see me around, don't be afraid to say Hello! I'm a 21 year old TransWoman from Cardiff, Wales! Pronouns are She/Him, very proud bisexual; I enjoy lusting over everyone and anyone (I am horrifically afraid of sex). My blogs is centered around my interests, I do write sometimes too, so perhaps I'll post the occasional fic or writing piece I'll be primarily reblogging fandom stuff and the sort. But, if you're lucky, I'll start posting about my Original Characters! My major interests generally rotate, I am very normal about some more than others, they inlcude: || RWBY || Dungeons & Dragons || SoulsBorne || Various AniManga || The Locked Tomb || SMT/Persona || Other TTRPGs || Just to name a few, among a myriad of other different things! My AO3 Account! My Steam Account!
