#jerin is real

[justsomesapphicbimbo]

Hello!

This is a formal announcement to inform anyone concerned that I have officially unlocked a brand new obssesion!

😍😍DERRY GIRLS😍😍

So naturally I'll post about them and only them for the next 913746 hours!

jerin in the glass trap instead of jamie and kate…

this prompt is undeniably evil, but i might have enjoyed writing it?

they're going through the absolute most, except i can promise that within ten minutes, jamie throws du’met off the roof, and he doesn’t get up this time :)

i hope you'll forgive me...and my embellishment of the amount of time they have before du'met comes back.

you can check out my other work on AO3...username: skyllianspectre

(trigger warning for the DIM glass trap and all that entails, as well as heavy angst and asthma/panic attacks)

Despite Jamie’s best efforts to avoid it, they end up getting separated.

It’s difficult to keep an eye out for moving walls while running, as it turns out, and now they’re here, in this fucking trap, and Jamie swears she’s gonna kill that son of a bitch.

“Try to stay calm.” She tells Erin, but then the wall starts moving. 

She tries to break the glass on her own with no success, then tries the screwdriver.

It’s a useless pursuit, and that’s when she sees the button.

The reverse symbol above makes the function obvious, and Du’Met must really be crazy if he thinks she’d even consider hurting Erin, let alone go through with it.

She’s already carrying the weight of Charlie’s apparent death on her shoulders, whether she could’ve done anything more or not, and she won’t - no, can’t - carry another.

Especially not her.

Fuck that button.

She won’t even stand near it.

“J - Jamie?” Erin asks, incredibly fearful. “What is that for?”

“Some shit I’m not doing.” Jamie answers resolutely, shaking her head.

She knows she can stand here and scheme for as much time as they have, but it’s pretty clear that they’re not going to think their way out of this. 

Somebody is dying here, and Erin seems to have realized that it’s not going to be her.

“Jamie. No. You can’t.” 

“This is exactly what he wants.” Jamie says, ignoring her implication and trying to keep it together. “You know I won’t hurt you. You’re not changing my mind.”

Erin can’t even look at her.

Her crying is uncontrollable, and she feels like she’s going to pass out.

Even if Jamie lets her live, who’s to say she’ll make it?

She’s done nothing but hinder the crew, and she can’t fathom the idea of going on without her, especially if she feels responsible.

“The others...they need you.” She insists, and Jamie looks almost offended.

Erin isn’t a burden, and the fact that she thinks she is is nauseating.

“Listen. Please.” Jamie pleads, voice trailing off into nothing, and Erin is completely devastated by the sound. “This isn't your fault. Understand?” 

Erin sputters to say something, anything, but it won’t come out.

The sight makes Jamie pause for a second, then completely break. 

“I love you.” She admits, glass closing in, and Erin looks at her like she’s committed a crime. “Just...don’t watch, okay?” 

She turns away as told, knowing from the way Jamie’s said it that it’s sacred, and now it’s going to haunt her.

Jamie loves her too, and the sound of her scream is deafening.

---

It’s the longest collection of seconds in Erin’s life before she hears glass shattering, a thud, and then, unbelievably, Jamie’s voice.

“Erin.”

It’s hoarse and shaky, but when Erin forces herself to turn back around, expecting some sort of auditory hallucination, she finds it undeniably real.

Jamie is on the floor a few feet away, talking, and breathing and alive.

She drops to her side almost immediately and helps her sit up, backing against the wall, but when she opens her mouth to speak, there’s no air left in her lungs.

“Hey...Hey, your inhaler.” Jamie murmurs, tapping Erin’s hand lightly, and she appreciates the reminder even though she’s sure Jamie’s gone mad.

There’s no way in hell she should be doing the care-taking right now, but it’s her, so of course she is.

Erin fishes into her pocket with shaky hands and sits next to her, taking a puff and exhaling painfully with the sound of “I love you” bouncing around her head like a pinball.

She gasps her way through several breathing cycles, Jamie’s hand sitting atop hers, and finally, mercifully, there’s some sense of control.

“Okay?” Jamie asks, only realizing how stupid it sounds once she’s said it, and Erin could almost laugh.

Jamie has no idea how good she is.

“You’re insane.” Erin responds, and then she’s kissing Jamie hard.

It’s messy and more than a little desperate, but Jamie only lets herself kiss back for a moment before breaking it. 

They’re both incredibly vulnerable, tears still streaming down Erin’s face, and Jamie isn’t about to take advantage.

Instead, she pulls Erin into her arms, letting her bury her face in her neck while she rubs at the small of her back.

There’s some comfort in the way their heartbeats synchronize, but it doesn’t last for long.

Du’Met’s gonna be pissed, and Jamie’s brain is already trying to figure out what’s next to protect them.

No time to process.

“You shouldn’t have done that.”

Erin eventually whispers between sobs, starting to quiet down just a little, and Jamie has no idea what to say so she jokes.

“I mean it worked out - ”

Erin squeezes her tightly to cut her off. “Jamie...I thought...”

“I know.” She replies, a jagged breath ripping through her entire body with the weight of it all. “Me too.”

---

After what feels like an eternity, the door in front of Kate creaks open.

Her heart drops in her chest when neither of them appear, and upon stepping closer, she hears crying.

It’s Erin, and Kate's thoughts start to race.

Jamie.

Shit.

Her hand flies to the amethyst crystal in her pocket, taking a deep breath as her stomach twists violently.

They need to keep going, but she can barely steel herself for what she’s about to see.

Upon entering the room however, there is no massacre.

Kate finds them both sitting against the wall, seemingly un-injured, and her relief is palpable.

Jamie acknowledges Kate with her eyes, holding Erin close and repeating something inaudible to her under her breath, and Kate can’t help but feel like she’s intruding on them.

She stares for a long second, unable to speak, and then she hears Jamie tell Erin that she’s here.

Her voice is completely wrecked, and it makes a cold, horrible feeling seep through Kate’s bones.

Something terrible happened here.

“Are you guys okay?” She finally manages to get out, and Jamie nods slowly, looking unsure.

“Yeah...yes...we are.”

The way it hangs is uncomfortable and Kate tries her best to focus. “He’s not far. We should - ”

“Yeah.” Jamie agrees, urging Erin gently that they need to go, and only then does Erin move, separating herself.

Her eyes are bloodshot and puffy, and it makes Kate’s heart ache.

“Let me help.” Kate offers, holding her hand out to Jamie, and she takes it to get to her feet.

She’s clearly trying to reset, to put this away to worry about later, and Kate has no idea how she does it.

She turns back and grabs her screwdriver from the floor, then reaches for Erin.

“C’mere.” She breathes, and Erin does, taking her hand and standing up beside her, a bit wobbly. 

Kate glances between them, but then there’s shuffling in the hallway.

God damn it.

“Come on.” She says anxiously, leading the way out of the room, and then Du’Met is there, staring them down.

“Stay close to me.” Jamie tells Erin, making sure she’s in front of her before they turn to run, and Erin clings to the words.

She’s not letting Jamie out of her sight.

Jamie Tiergan x Erin Keenan (Jerin) 1. my beloveds okay, i was in pleasant shock when saw a "young love" plot line (i didn't know anything about TDiM when i started it so didn't expect to get lesbians) 2. Jamie and Erin already have such a wonderful dynamic to begin with, having bounced around each other before taking the leap after enough flustering and teasing. They care so deeply for each other, and one losing the other is beyond heartbreaking. Erin even admits how much she doesn't want to lose Jamie, which makes my heart scream and yell and cry and oh my god 3. They're sweet, they're cute, they're canon! Supermassive finally gave us an official queer couple that can get together and Jerin deserves some recognition for that. <3 4. I mean, its Jerin! They're relationship is so cute and interesting even if they don't get together, its so clear when they don't they still very much love and adore each other and have so much more to say. And when they ARE together they are just so cute and gentle to each other. The perfect couple <3 (also they are a very rare non-white biracial lesbian couple that aren't toxic or weird so the representation they hold is just <3) Laura Kearney x Max Brinly 1. Binky bonky 2. Laura is so protective about Max, just best gf ever 3. I think Laura's main motivation throughout the majority of the game being to break the curse on her boyfriend is SO good. The devotion here is so real. I love their silly old person pet names. Max wearing his girlfriend's clothes is also great. The scene where they reunite is SO good. This one's probably my favorite canon Supermassive ship I just completely buy that these two care about each other, want the best for each other, and enjoy each others' company.

[taylorshope]

You know Jerin is real love because Erin straight up tells Jamie that she thinks she peed a little and Jamie is still so into her anyways

[unhingedlesbear]

I die (real) every time someone rejects the jerin kiss i'm like why. why would you like. do that 😟

[edenstwiilight]

Hi!! I read all your Jerin stuff and I adore it so much, I love your writing, and you make them so real and soft and tender!

If you'd be up for it, could you do anything with pre-canon jerin being the most oblivious dorks pining for each other? I can imagine everyone else in the studio noticing how in love they are except for them. Or maybe creating silly little misunderstandings by being so oblivious. Or anything really

<3

YOU ARE SO SWEET AAAAA yes of course i can do that’s for you!!

i’ll give you some headcanons so i can write more !!

-kate is the first to notice these nerds. she notices that jamie no longer needs to ask erin what she wants in her coffee, and she’s able to walk up behind erin without her startling like she does if mark or charlie does.

-kate notices the little things. erin’s lingering eyes and shy smiles when jamie talks to her, the way she tucks her hair behind her ears like she’s shy and unsure how to express it.

-(kate once helped erin through an asthma attack when jamie called her baby by accident. kate knew the way erin smiled once she got her breath back that it was over for them)

-mark noticed next. the way erin always chose to sit beside jamie if given the choice, quietly mumbling to him to ask to trade spots. it meant mark got to sit beside kate so he of course agreed.

-he noticed the way jamie tried to act so casual when she touched erin. the way she slung her arm around erin to help her check sound and the way erin’s words began stumbling immediately.

-he gives them every opportunity to stick together if he can. he wants them to get together. (he thinks they’re sweet together)

-charlie still hasn’t noticed. he comments to kate about how close erin and jamie are, making the ‘it’s good to see gals being pals’ comments.

-not that he isn’t supportive. he’s the biggest ally and knows they both like girls individually it’s just never clicked in his head they like eachother.

-he likes the two of them working together, though. he’s happy to see jamie so excited to be at work and erin is smiling more than ever.

-jamie tries to be casually touchy with erin to get away with touching her. it works usually. she’s allowed an arm around the shoulders or a shoulder bump or the brush of a hand. she likes the way erin blushes when it happens.

-erin takes every excuse to be close to jamie. she chooses to sit in the back of the van if that’s were jamie is, and if jamie offers her the front seat she of course takes it because he loves the front seat. she just.. yknow likes sitting with jamie way more.

(i can keep going but this post will be a million pages long so im stopping now but i hope this is acceptable!!!)

[bonefanatic]

paladin OC x reader??

"I'll kill you! I mean it this time!" The blade in your hand is too small to do any real damage to the armored man, but you still wield it in front of you like all hell.

"Get away from me!" He mimics your steps as you move away. Tears sting in your eyes.

Of course he had to come back now, after everything was finally perfect. And he has to ruin it, like he always does.

He smiles. His teeth are almost as shiny as his armor.

"Oh, darling, aren't you the cutest little thing?" You swing as he rushed at you, but he snatches your wrist and the knife clatters to the floor. "I taught you better than that, didn't I?"

You're furious now, thrashing in his grasp. He tightens his grip, then loosens it almost immediately.

"Stop." And you do. His smile is gone, his tone no longer teasing. "I'm here to save you, my love."

There's rustling behind you, his eyes flick towards the figure.

"Mada...?" Jerin speaks quietly, padding slowly towards the two. You can hear the waver in your son's voice.

"Go back inside, minnow." You speak sweetly, taking advantage of the man's distraction and pulling away. You watch the boy hesitate, glancing wearily at Hok.

You quickly rush towards the boy, away from Hok. Wrapping him in your arms and pressing his face into the curve of your neck. "He's just an old friend, minnow."

You glare at the paladin as he snaps from his stupor. His pointed ears twitch in annoyance and his onyx eyes meet yours with equal ire.

"What have you done?"

"I told you I wouldn't wait." You meet him with a strong attitude. You couldn't do that before.

-

You're lying through your teeth. You both know it.

The boy is his. His slight pointed ears and too dark eyes are not human, neither are the markings that travel his arms and cheeks.

Hok was so sure he thought of everything.

Your husband was captured for his crimes, the village was being patrolled by his own select soldiers.

You always were full of surprises.

markate thoughts i am poorly compiling into this post

gone gone gone markate is real and it's so sweet and sad and bittersweet and just mark and kate being so soso in love with each other and mark continuing to love kate long after she dies at the murder castle. i could write a fic for this if i were brave enough

tunnels au. remember that? i had a thought of mark and erin swapping places w jamie and kate nd being the ones to survive that night and just. kate dying in mark's arms as he begs her to stay awake. they had only just made up with each other, finally back together. it can't end here, it can't. but it does, with kate sacrificing herself to make sure mark made it out alive.

not really a thought just. sometimes i listen to the boy who could fly and it'll. just. 'i guess i never should have loved you, but i do forever 'cause you love me' + 'if you were gonna leave this world, how could it be without me?' + 'now it's all over my tongue and it still has no taste, 'cause without you, there is no me' markate.

imagine kate surviving and mark dying. imagine, in her grief, kate continuously dreams of mark. imagine dream mark trying to help kate move on. imagine it.

dark mermaid aus r where it's at just mark nearly fuckin drowning in the ocean after trying to take some nice photos only to be saved by mermaid kate and kate is like 'well i was going to eat you but you looked all scared and worried over that weird box of yours being in the water and it made me curious so im letting you live for now' and mark is like 'what the fuck' and then they fall in love

werewolf kate vampire mark that's it that's the thought

just a cute domestic scene of markate staying in for the day and existing together. mark occasionally taking a photo of kate here and there because he just can't help himself. kate asking mark for advice on scripts.

u know what fuck it kate can draw really really well and i think she likes drawing mark. mark takes photos of her and kate sketches him out.

sometimes i like to imagine that mark can play the acoustic guitar, y'know? so i'll sometimes just picture him absently playing the guitar while kate sits with him and just listens. doesn't matter what he's playing, she just sits there and admires him while he plays.

mark and kate still broken up but still very aware of each other's habits and preferences so well that whenever someone else needs to get something for one of them, they go to the other for advice.

markate the 30th by billie eilish.

but also markate i don't care if you're contagious by pierce the veil. yeah.

more on werewolf kate vampire mark. everyone literally everyone expects their roles to be swapped and are Very surprised when they see mark sipping on a blood bag with a massive fucking werewolf just chilling next to him.

kate having a nightmare. her and mark aren't together anymore but she still finds herself calling mark for comfort because hearing his voice always calms her down. mark always answers, and the moment he hears her voice he's dropping everything and showing up at her apartment in the middle of the night w some food and some shitty romcoms

markate at jerin's wedding and kate catches the bouquet.

okay now picture an au where tdim doesn't happen and markate didn't know each other. picture kate having a cute adorable little chihuahua that she takes to the dog park every week. imagine mark being at the dog park as well w connie. the chihuahua and connie become best friends which in turn means mark and kate see each other often and get to know each other. the dogs are matchmakers is what im saying.

i think mark and kate have 100% pretended to be a married couple for one reason or another. we don't know what happened in topeka. anything we want could've happened in topeka.

mark 100% teaches himself about crystals and shit and he 100% buys kate crystals bc the way her eyes light up and the smile on her face when he does is all worth it

me and kearney once talked abt mark having a youtube channel where he mostly talked about cameras and photography but occasionally played a game here and there w jamie and i just imagine kate being his number one fan that's all.

i actually think markate would thrive in a zombie apocalypse. don't ask where this came from im listening to speed by atari teenage riot and it made me think of zombies bc of lollipop chainsaw it's a whole thing anyways yeah markate zombie apocalypse au

uhhhh that's all i can think about rn.

[qusok]

Jerin need more fics, so here I am. There's also a bit of Markate! Hehe.

It was a long, horrible night. So much stress, fear, panic and no place to rest. But hopefully, soon this night, this dread, would come to an end. The crew members were already at their finish line, at least that's what they called it, right near the lighthouse. They spent so much time and energy and finally reached it. Well, not all of them yet. Kate was still out in the woods somewhere after she was separated from the other girls, but she would make it. She is tough, she is smart, she knew the plan.

Speaking of the plan, the lighthouse was right here, it just needed to be turned on.

"Hey! Are you coming?" Jamie distracted her friend, who was totally absorbed in his thoughts, with a few pats on his shoulder. Mark didn't even notice that the others had already found a way inside. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just..." Mark didn't tear his eyes away from the woods, "I think maybe I should stay here to see Du'Met if he shows up? So we won't be caught off guard." Even though it sounded like a great and rational plan, Jamie knew it wasn't about Du'Met. Well, at least not completely about him. Obviously it was Kate, and Jamie couldn't blame her friend for that. She probably would have done the same if it was Erin.

"Okay, great idea. Maybe Charlie can stay with you? It would be safer together. Erin and I can turn on the lighthouse." There was no need to pressure Mark to tell the real reason. Well, of course Jamie would have teased him about it at any other moment, but definitely not today. She could do it later, if they get out of here alive. Jamie noticed Mark grinning a little at her last phrase, but decided not to ask because it might have been his turn to tease her if she did. Of course, Mark was happy for his friend getting together with a girl she had liked for so long.

"Yeah, good luck." Mark replied with the same grin, which was growing wider, subtly nudging Jamie with his elbow. Yeah, he probably implied a bit more than just the light.

The men stayed outside, and Jamie took Erin's hand to go to the entrance they found. This gesture was totally accidental, but no one complained, really. The path to the door was blocked by the fence. It was possible to get there, but it was just easier and faster to go through the hole Erin found.

Jamie went in first to make sure everything was safe. She wanted Erin to be okay. She needed it through the whole night, without exception.

After looking around a little, she gave Erin her hand so that she wouldn't fall. The landing was even softer, as Jamie literally caught the younger girl by her waist, making her blush and giggle. The moments when they were together (except for the moments of being immensely scared for each other's lives) during this night were like rays of light in the midst of impenetrable darkness. Everything would be so much worse without these glowing sparkles that they were for each other.

"Hey," Jamie broke the silence (that was always comfortable and never awkward) as they walked through the lighthouse, "I realized I never got to answer you," she continued after knowing that she had Erin's attention, "I think I do too. I think I love you too."

Jamie has never been the one to just open up like this, to be so sincere. That's why she couldn't look at Erin right now, but even without looking at her, the older girl knew that she was beaming like the most beautiful and warm sunshine in the world. Jamie would never regret saying that, ever.

"Or... something?" The older girl added with a chuckle, remembering Erin's confession so clearly, even after everything they had been through.

"I never thought there could be something good about this night," Erin sighed with a smile, taking Jamie's hand in hers again and intertwining their fingers.

After getting to the top of lighthouse, the girls were met by a console, which didn't seem particularly working. After trying to press the buttons, it became clear. No power. It had to be restored manually.

Erin followed Jamie outside to see where the power supply was. But, of course, they were separated from it by a huge gap with only narrow section of the floor. Jamie took a step towards this gap.

"Jamie, no." Erin grabbed the older girl's hand, preventing her from going any further, "You're not going through this."

"Well, then what should we do, genius?" Jamie raised an eyebrow. They had to launch the lighthouse, and there was no other way. However, Erin had other plans. She yanked Jamie back inside.

"Do you still have your screwdriver? We can just break the window and get out without falling and dying."

"God, Erin... You really are a genius," with Erin smiling at her, Jamie took her screwdriver (damn, she almost lost it earlier).

Fortunately, no one got hurt by the shreds when the window was crushed. After getting rid of the remaining glass parts on the window frame, Jamie crawled outside.

"See? Much safer," Erin was glad that after Jamie saved her so many times that night, she was able to really help her too. Of course, there was no competition or anything like that, she was just happy that her lover was safe. Well, at least safer than she could have been.

Turning the power on wasn't so safe though. The humid air electrified the top of the long-unused lighthouse. A small amount of electricity hit Jamie's hand directly, making her jump back. Erin's heart jumped, too. If not for the rickety fence, Jamie probably would have fallen. Erin couldn't help but got outside too to hold Jamie closer to her. She was so scared for the girl.

"Careful," the younger girl mumbled into Jamie's shoulder, while the latter patted her head and hugged her with her other arm.

"It's okay, I'm alive, we just have to go in and get this thing working." She didn't want Erin to be worried. They had already gone through a lot of horrible things, and now no one needed extra stress.

"Okay, there we go," Jamie pressed a button on the finally powered console, turning on the light. Soon it became impossible to look at it, so the girl turned away, covering Erin's eyes with her hands. There was something so soft and intimate about this gesture that made the younger girl smile widely. It almost felt like for a moment all the horrors could be forgotten, leaving Erin with only a feeling of joy and Jamie's warm hands. Erin couldn't help herself, so she pulled one of Jamie's hands away for a moment to find her face, and kissed her, bolder that the first time. Jamie was surprised, but definitely enjoyed the kiss. Well, it can hardly be called a kiss, because both of them were smiling too much.

At this moment, they knew. They have to get out of here. Together.

[ughohyoumadeafunny]

If Jem from Jem and the Holograms was a transformer ( my description and lore)

On a moon not far from Cybertron lived a Cybertronian named Gemini. Her real name was Jerin 5, but humans and other Cybertronians called her Jerrica. Jerrica was created by a council member who discovered human music and believed that it could be a non-lethal weapon as well as a way to bridge the gap between those who were split by the war on Cybertron.

Unfortunately, Jerrica didn't have much time to train with her creator, as he was killed by a Decepticon who crossed paths with him. Raybreaker, the leader of the new council of sound (as Jerrica's creator had titled it), tried to get Jerrica to join him in continuing her creator's research. However, Jerrica's friend interrupted and said that now wasn't a good time, and she needed some time to think it through.

Later, Jerrica learned that Raybreaker wasn't trying to be friendly. She returned to her father's training quarters to find a coms device next to her pod. She turned it on, and a hologram of a female Cybertronian appeared. Jerrica had never seen her before, but the hologram was Synergy, and she was there to explain why all of her father's research was hidden from Raybreaker.

Raybreaker was a Decepticon and the same one who killed Jerrica's creator. Raybreaker wanted to turn her creator's research into lethal brainwashing tools for money and had recruited a group of new Decepticon musicians called Misfits.

Synergy told Jerrica to bring anyone she trusted with her back to the secret Telatran room filled with weapons and gadgets that resembled Earth instruments. Jerrica gladly brought her friends and soon-to-be lover, and they were sent to Earth. Unfortunately, Raybreaker and the Misfits followed them there.

Jerrica and her friends landed in a field near a city. As they awoke, they saw lights in the distance and heard a sound that brought Jerrica hope of being more than meets the eye: music.

20 questions game for fic writers

Thanks for the tag @areseebee!

How many works do you have on ao3? 8

What’s your total ao3 word count? 63,699

What fandoms do you write for? Derry Girls. I once had a Zootopia fic on AO3 from a few years ago, but that was expunged with predjudice when I blew the dust off my account for my Derry Girls fics!

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Charming, To Travel, A Confederacy of Fathers, Ruminations for a Sleepless Night, Coming of Age

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I didn't use to, primarily because I'm quite a shy person, but I try to do it now (at least for the early part of a fic's lifespan if I'm otherwise busy in real life). I need to get better at responding to new ones left on older fics though

What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? "Tell me I was wrong"

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? "She" was literally written to have a happy ending, but I would personally say "A Confederacy of Fathers"

Do you get hate on fics? Not so far, and hopefully that continues

Do you write smut? If so what kind? No. The smuttiest thing I wrote was in the epilogue to "She", and that was just one or two paragraphs with several euphemisms.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written? Niet! Not unless you count butchering Irish mythology

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I know

Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have a hard enough time writing by myself. I'll spitball and theorise with people about the plot, but the actual writing is all my own

What’s your all-time favorite ship? Jerin is my favourite, and I ship them hard and love to write them. I think my oldest one I can remember (and one I'm still slightly bitter that it never really left dock) was Ash and Misty from Pokemon. Honourable mentions to Lizzie x Gordo and T.J. x Spinelli too

What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? This depends on whether I can keep the writing impetus going or not, but "Mary Quinn's Cookery Book" has kind of reached a roadblock creatively. Hopefully I can get back to it once the current WIP is done, but we'll see.

What are your writing strengths? This question is highly anti-English, as we don't like to extoll our strengths! I like to think there's a flow to the stories I write, and that if there's little plot there's at least a good understanding of character. And I can weave in canon reasonably well

What are your writing weaknesses? I think know I can be florid - mainly in an effort not to continually repeat the same word, but it doesn't always feel natural. Also I can't plot for toffee; "She" notwithstanding, pretty much all of my fics are essentially single scenes, are un/strenuously connected scenes, or take place over a really short time period. Oh, and I seem to be having a love affair with the semicolon...

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I'm a monolinguist, unfortunately. One day I'd like to write in Irish (if Duolingo doesn't let me down), but for now it's good ol' Google Translate if I need another language.

First fandom you ever wrote for? Published? Lizzie Maguire, on fanfiction.net. Unpublished? Pokemon.

Favorite fic you’ve ever written? Probably "To Travel" - it's topical, exploring 2010s Northern Irish abortion rights in the wake of the 2022 Roe vs. Wade ruling, it was a challenge to write as person who the subject matter doesn't directly relate to, and it was fun to explore James and Erin on the cusp of getting together through the eyes of Anna.

[devilinlittlehope]

I am here to request a little Jerin fic…it doesn’t have to be NSFW, but I don’t really have a preference…thank you for providing for the fandom :)

Hi, thanks for the support🫶🏻 here’s a little Jerin ficlet as requested!

It’s mostly sfw but gets a little nsfw at the end so 18+ warning!!

Jerin is one of my favorite couples and what I love is that if you keep both alive the two talk about how their relationship will progress in the outside world. It was great to see that representation and it meant a lot to me! I wanted to continue to explore that in this fic. I love Jamie and Erin so much and am so happy that supermassive games gave us this wonderful couple❤️❤️ let’s go lesbians!!

This mini fic takes place after Jamie chooses to save Erin over Kate. Kate and mark have are off having some alone time and Jamie and Erin are together and recovering:

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Jamie asks. She takes Erin’s hand in hers, squeezing it gently.

Erin has already used her inhaler and has been quiet since. Jamie can’t imagine what she’s feeling right now. The thought of her air being cut off sends an imagined burning feeling in her throat that tears. That’s probably not half as bad as what it actually felt like.

“I am now,” Erin says. “Thank you for saving me.”

“It felt terrible to choose, but I’m glad you’re both safe,” Jamie says. Briefly, she thinks about what might’ve happened if Kate's window hadn't been faulty. For all her jokes, she never really hated Kate at all. If things had been different, would she have blood on her hands? She shivers, ridding herself of the thought. A flash of anger seizes her. Fuck Du’Met and his stupid games.

For now, they’re all alive. Jamie will do anything to make sure Erin stays that way.

“If it’s not too personal, why did you choose me?” Erin asks. Her big brown eyes shyly meet Jamie’s. She looks so goddamn adorable.

“You’re a good kisser,” Jamie jokes. Then, she sighs. It’s been so hard to open up to other people in the past. Anytime it got serious, her mind wanted to push them away before they got to know the real her. But with Erin, it’s different. She wants to share herself with Erin, all her strengths, all her flaws. She’s tired of being alone, but it’s more than that. Erin is not some hookup, and adrenaline isn’t dictating the way she feels. When Jamie thinks about Erin, all she feels is extreme happiness. Jamie has a desire to impress her, to charm her, to take care of her, to do everything in her power to make Erin hers. It’s funny how it’s taken a life or death experience to give her the courage to admit these feelings.

“I chose to save you because I want there to be a future where we’re together. I don’t want to live in a world without you in it. I’m kind of falling in love with you, and if you feel the same, I’d love to be with you if we make it out alive,” Jamie says. There are tears in her eyes, and her heart is beating out of her chest.

Erin surprises Jamie with her boldness. She cups the other girl's face in her hand, looking into her eyes. Her gaze is lovely and intense, and Jamie melts under it. “When we make it out alive, not if,” she says. “We’re making it out of this, no matter how scary it might seem. We’re going to have a future together.”

A surge of love overtakes Jamie as she leans over and kisses Erin passionately. As their mouths collide, Jamie realizes she’s backed Erin against the wall, and she’s sitting on a ledge where she can slot perfectly between her legs.

It gives her an idea.

She decides that she wants to take Erin’s breath away, in a way of her own choosing.

As Jamie emerges from the kissing, both women are breathless and excited.

Jamie grins a bit mischievously, full lips in a smirk, as she drops to her knees and settles between Erin’s legs. Her skirt is easy to lift up, thankfully. Jamie plays with the hem of it, considering her options.

“I want to help you relax in the way I know best,” she offers.

“Oh Jamie-“ Erin says, breath hitching as the other girl plays with the hem of her underwear. “I’m new to this,” Erin admits.

Jamie beams up at her. “You’re doing great. Just follow my lead. I want to make you feel good.”

“I trust you,” Erin says, nodding her assent.

She gasps as Jamie’s fingers circle her entrance, plunging the warm depths of her. As Jamie’s fingers pump in and out of Erin in a slow, sensual rhythm, her legs open wider and she whispers her praise.

Jamie dips her head so she can taste Erin, and she savors the feel of her clit beneath her tongue and the other girl’s moans of pleasure. She’ll look forward to doing this as often as she can once they’re far away from the island. She can’t wait until they’re safe. Jamie wants to wake up beside Erin every morning and fall asleep beside her every night.

“I’m falling in love with you too,” Erin whispers once they’ve finished, and are cuddling together, in the warmth of each other’s arms. Jamie has never felt so alive.

(brief trigger warning for canon-typical angst)

It was a cold morning in November when Erin’s phone rang.

The softer tone was something she had set for Jamie’s number, and hearing it this early made her anxiety spike just a little.

She usually called at night.

Had she been having those dreams again?

“Jamie?” Erin asked warily as she picked up the phone, setting aside the book she’d been reading. “Are you okay?”

On the other end of the line, Jamie’s heart dropped a little when she realized what Erin was thinking.

She’d definitely called her in volatile states before, when the nightmares had gotten too real.

Sometimes she’d have to hear Erin’s voice to calm down, no matter how many times she tried to convince her brain that she knew she was okay.

Luckily, this wasn’t that.

“Yeah! Yeah.” Jamie quickly responded, hoping she could allay Erin’s fears. “I’m okay. Promise. I’m sorry if I scared you.”

Erin let out a breath and took a second to listen to Jamie’s voice, relaxing when she found it steady. “I’m glad. I just...worry.”

“I know.” Jamie answered gently. “I just wanted to ask you something.”

“Okay.” 

“Are you busy tonight?”

Erin’s shyness crept up on her immediately and her mind blanked.

“What?”

“We should go out. Like a date.” Jamie replied. “I pick you up…take you somewhere nice…”

Erin blushed.

Their relationship was still so new to her, and they’d sparingly seen each other since the hotel.

They were always in groups when they had, and the thought of them being together again, just them, made her a little nervous.

“You don’t have to do all that…” She began. “You could just come over...and we could stay in…” The offer was barely out of her mouth before she realized what it sounded like and tried to backtrack. “...Or something.”

Shit. 

She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t been thinking about the way Jamie had kissed her in that hotel room, but that wasn’t what she meant to imply and she didn’t want to make her uncomfortable and -

There was a brief moment of silence between them, then a huff of amusement from Jamie, and Erin could practically feel the other girl’s smirk growing through the phone. 

“Shouldn’t I take a girl to dinner first?”

She was clearly joking, but Erin was embarrassed anyways, glad that Jamie wasn't able to see her fluster.

Instead, she had broken into laughter, the first time Erin had really heard it in the aftermath.

It was contagious and warm, and before she died down, Erin tried her best to commit the sound to memory.

“Seriously though, Erin. I want to.” Jamie spoke again, assuring her. “You’re my girlfriend.”

Oh.

In theory, she knew that was true, but hearing it was…something else.

“I’m your girlfriend?” Erin echoed back, not even realizing she was saying it aloud, and God did Jamie adore her.

“I mean...I hope so. It’s kinda what I was going for.”

Erin smiled to herself, then couldn’t stop smiling at all.

  “I’d really like that…” She nearly whispered. “A date. With you.”

Jamie’s heart fluttered undeniably in her chest. “Six then?” 

Erin, surprising herself, barely hesitated. “I’ll see you then.”

---

When Erin stepped outside of her apartment complex and found Jamie, she couldn’t help but bury her face in her neck.

Every time she saw her was a resounding reminder that they were both alive, and tonight, the near consistent haunt behind Jamie’s eyes seemed a bit further away.

“Hey.” She breathed, wrapping her arms around Erin tightly, and a long minute passed before she let go. “You wanna hop in?”

Erin nodded and shortly, they were on the road.

Jamie didn’t say where they were going, but frankly Erin didn’t care.

She just liked to look at her, liked to know she was there, and maybe, just a little selfishly now, liked to know she was hers, even if she couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.

---

The restaurant Jamie brought her to had a little bit of everything.

It wasn’t overly fancy, nor was it too crowded.

It was small, homey, and it felt like them, and maybe that’s what Erin loved about it.

The hostess was kind and seated them quickly, and while small talk proved difficult thanks to the Du'Met-sized elephant in the room, it felt safe.

“I’ve been wanting to take you here since we got back from Topeka...Which is basically like...forever.” Jamie eventually said casually, and if Erin didn’t already know she was in love with her, she’d probably start right now.

With any other person, she'd care what other people thought if they saw them, care what they may perceive her to be, but after what they’d been through, it felt foolish not to follow the impulse.

She grabbed Jamie's hand across the table, intertwining their fingers, and even though she didn’t know what to say, it didn't matter.

She was comfortable with her, and if that meant figuring everything else out later, she was okay with that.

“I’m just happy to be with you. Wherever that is."

In response, Jamie rubbed her thumb across Erin's palm affectionately, and when their waiter returned with the food they fell into something comfortable, enjoying each others' presence.

Erin occasionally stole from Jamie's plate, delighted by the reaction it elicited, and Jaime would pretend to be annoyed.

They'd joke playfully about anything and everything, and the time passed nearly effortlessly.

When they finally returned to the parking lot, Erin couldn’t help but notice that the world felt lighter.

They walked back toward Jamie’s truck holding hands, and when they were close enough to be shrouded by the surrounding vehicles, Jamie pulled her in, kissing her soft and slow.

The warmth between them was profound in itself, but when they separated, looking each other in the eyes, something clicked.

“I haven’t felt like this before.” Jamie whispered, almost like it was a secret, and it took Erin’s breath away.

They were going to be okay.

Sam Giddings x Hannah Washington

1. Best friends to lovers dynamic? perfect. Sam was the only one (except for Beth) who was nice to Hannah in the prologue. And their relationship stats are very high. Sam would be very protective gf for Hannah

2. In your "Nothing bad ever happened ever" AUs, you've got some classic best friends (even childhood friends) to lovers. In canon, though, the tragedy of it all makes you want to chew through wood. Thinking about Sam having been in love with Hannah all that time when she was pining for some guy, and then losing her tragically because she couldn't find her in time to stop the prank. Also, right at the end of the game, as Sam makes a break for the light switch, you could easily assume that Hannah is lunging for her and ended up tackling a miner in the process, but a better idea, a *gayer* idea is that deep down, Hannah recognised Sam, and wanted to save her when it all came down to it. It's tragic. It's heartbreaking. It's kinda beautiful, to think, even in that altered state, Hannah loved Sam too, but only came to realise it at the last possible moment, and used that clarity to save her friend. Maybe she loved her that whole time, before the prank, but latched onto Mike as a way to seem 'normal'. Heteronormativity is the real villain in this game and that's that on that

Jamie Tiergan x Erin Keenan (Jerin)

1. my beloveds okay, i was in pleasant shock when saw a "young love" plot line (i didn't know anything about TDiM when i started it so didn't expect to get lesbians)

2. Jamie and Erin already have such a wonderful dynamic to begin with, having bounced around each other before taking the leap after enough flustering and teasing. They care so deeply for each other, and one losing the other is beyond heartbreaking. Erin even admits how much she doesn't want to lose Jamie, which makes my heart scream and yell and cry and oh my god

3. They're sweet, they're cute, they're canon! Supermassive finally gave us an official queer couple that can get together and Jerin deserves some recognition for that. <3

4. I mean, its Jerin! They're relationship is so cute and interesting even if they don't get together, its so clear when they don't they still very much love and adore each other and have so much more to say. And when they ARE together they are just so cute and gentle to each other. The perfect couple <3 (also they are a very rare non-white biracial lesbian couple that aren't toxic or weird so the representation they hold is just <3)

TDIM Tarantula au lore dump bc I stop at nothing fr 😍

In all my research of tarantulas that led up to me getting Vasquez, I couldn't NOT put it all on TDIM.

Species:

Kate - OBT (Old world)

Mark - Brazillian black (New world)

Jamie - Cobalt blue (Old world)

Erin - Curly hair (New world)

Charlie - Greenbottle blue (New world)

Du'met - Tarantula hawk

Connie - Tungara frog

Lore:

-Markate and Jerin dynamics are different here. Both are old world/new world couples, but Jerin have less issues because both are female. So they get along perfectly fine with 0 issue. Mark broke up with Kate because he was scared, knowing the general relationship between female and male tarantulas (females eat males)

-Charlie is mean to everyone as usual but here its bc he's insecure as a male tarantula. Bc they live shorter lives and he's coming to the end of his so he's tryna one up everyone while he still can (We love an existential old tarantula)

-Connie is Mark's tungara frog. (yes, look up tarantula with pet frog its real)

-Du'met is a tarantula hawk. Literally just a wasp that hunts and kills tarantulas.

-Jamie gets to use her lil tarantula paws (yes tarantulas have paws) to braid Erin's curls.

Thats all for now. But yes. The tarantula au has fucking lore 👍
