It’s been a minute since I last posted any fic. Decided to try and dip my toe into writing for a new fandom since Resident Evil is my newest case of terminal brainrot. Hope you like it!
Summary:
In the aftermath of Wesker's control, Jill realizes just how much she doesn't feel like herself anymore.

Try to write fic for a horror franchise and instead of spooky shit it's mostly about bureaucracy and budgeting and the American military-industrial complex

I just posted a fic and I realized I literally have 0 idea how to self-promo anymore because it's something i've always hated doing.

WIP Wednesday: I follow the heart I believe in chapter 41 (which will probably need to be split, for what it’s worth)
Dea let out a belaguered sigh. "I'm not going to hang just because some spoiled child decided she doesn't want to stay in at night," the laundress hissed. "Go back, I'm begging you."
The girl went quiet. "I won't let them," she said. "I won't let mother. Just let me go, I won't tell anyone that you saw me, I won't even tell anyone that you're here."
There was silence.
"You mean that?" Dea asked. "Not a word?"
"Not a word," Silence. "But you can't be here when they notice I'm gone. You have to be gone, swear it."
"I swear it," Dea replied. "Go."
There was a mumbled thanks, then a figure appeared from within the laundry, dressed  as a boy with the most recognizable thing being the ashen grey braids that had been carefully tucked up within a cap. The person glanced back over her shoulder, and almost as soon as she was past the castle walls, broke into a sprint out of sight.
She ran straight past Geralt and didn't even seem to notice him.
She smelled like elderflowers.

There's a 99% there'll be no fic update tomorrow. Won't get into it, but IRL is happening and I don't think I'll be able to get it edited and updated.

So I’ve just realized that I was supposed to post an update to fic today and uhh that hasn’t happened. Having a surprise tiny kitten kind of derailed things A Lot. Should have it up either later this week or next week, depending on if Juice decides to give me the space to work at all. She’s extremely needy and I haven’t gotten more than 20 minutes of peace since she arrived.

11, 51 and 71 :D
11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?
Definitely lean towards writing scenes in order, anything else gets put into an outline and generally never gets to see the light of day. Though sometimes I go out of order and go "fuck it, nonlinear storytelling" and try to make it seem intentional. Not often, though.
51. Does what you like to write differ from what you like to read?
I try not to read too much of pairings that I intend to write in order to keep my own interpretation from getting diluted or mixed with fanon, so that's definitely a Thing for me. Not that fanon is necessarily Bad, I just don't want to get too invested in it for my own fic. I also tend to read a lot of topics that I don't generally touch myself unless I'm in A MoodTM. Think smut genres, darkfic, intense whumping ft. Lots of Meat. Not to say I don't write those things occasionally, but I read a lot more than I write.
71. Do you spend more time reading or writing?
Probably about even in the grand scheme of things. I like reading more though, because it's less work for me :p

for "I follow the heart I believe in, 'cause one of us must know": numbers 60 and 61
60. In I follow the heart I believe in, what inspired the idea for the plot?
What inspired the idea for the plot of that fic? Here's a short list. Some of these may or may not actually appear in the final product, some of these are about Feelings more than anything else:
Unicorns vs Aen Elle conflict
Yen and Geralt's general on again/off again relationship, with specific focus on A Shard of Ice more than anything else. Though The Last Wish definitely did some work here.
Houtborg Triplets, Falka and Riannon backstory
What if there was only one bed?
Basically all of Season of Storms' background plot elements have contributed at one point or another, whether that makes it into the story or not. Specifically Rissberg.
Thanedd
Witcher 1 Salamandra
Big Yenralt Feelings
Background elements regarding Ciri's bloodline from the books
Pavetta and Duny
Dandelion the spy
Yen and Geralt's mutual desires to love and be loved and how that ties into wanting a family.
61. In I follow the heart I believe in, what’s your favorite scene that you wrote?
The invisible bathing scene back in chapter 21, I thought that one came together really well.

First off I have to apologize for the lore dump in this chapter. I couldn’t think of a better way to present this relatively obscure (or at least, rarely discussed) piece of Witcher lore so that’s in there. Sorry. Hope it isn’t too much of a drag and you can enjoy it well enough anyways.
Summary:
Geralt and Yennefer make themselves at home in a mysterious home in Cintra.

Moving 20+ fics to scrap because you're incapable of writing anything even remotely interesting feels so bad

And I’m back with another update to this fic. I’ve managed to develop enough of a backlog that assuming nothing Weird happens I’ll be back to the 1 chapter every other wednesday schedule that I’ve been meaning to keep this whole time. NaNoWriMo will let me pump those numbers up (Currently working on chapter 40, just to be clear, we’re good for a little while.)
Summary:
Geralt, Yennefer, Vilgefortz, and Brehen finally depart from Kerack and say their goodbyes. 
Next stop: Cintra!

So there was a slight delay in getting this chapter posted and that’s my fault, my sleep schedule is garbage. So sorry about the extra day of waiting. 
Aside from that, this miniature arc (and a lot of this story in general, actually) draws heavily on the events of Season of Storms. The only things you really need to know from that book are who Viraxas and Ildiko Breckl are. They’re the king and queen of Kerack who took the small kingdom over via a violent coup.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask <3
Chapter summary:
Geralt, Yennefer, and Dandelion get a chance to catch up in Kerack and a harebrained scheme is conceived between the three of them. 
Also, Yennefer likes holding Geralt’s hand. A lot. Not that she’d admit to it.
