Sounds like When the world stops spinning by persephonesnow it’s got a sequel but it unfinished rn

Hi! I was wondering if you knew of an atla fic where i think sozin's comet doesn't go to plan and toph zuko and katara hide it out at i think one of the air temples? and they find out that ty lee is an airbender (i have the faint memory of toph calling her snow lion i think). and the four of them go rogue. i wanna say it is zutara as well but that's not the focus of the fic. and its anti-white lotus. i really can't describe the fic but its pretty long and so good i thought i would be able to find it on ao3 by like bookmarks and filters and stuff but I'm surprised i can't find it. if you or anyone knows the name of this fic i will love you forever!!!

Hi anon!

Unfortunately I've never heard of this fic. It sounds really interesting though.

Anyone else know which fic this might be?

1. Last song: Its Too Late by Carole King 

Some time last year my parents’ music got onto my phone, and shuffle brought up this one. Always makes me think of my mom.

2. Last Movie: Hello, Dolly!

This was the height of cinema, and no one can tell me differently.

3. Currently Watching: The Murdoch Mysteries

A very silly crime procedural that takes place in the late 1800s. Thanks to @hermiowngranger for suggesting it.

4. Currently Reading: I still have five half-read books on my nightstand, and I cannot say in good conscience I am reading any of them. 

5. Currently Craving: Nothing. Just cooked up some cinnamon apples and ate them, so I’m very satisfied.

@hermiowngranger @persephonesnow If you feel like playing =)

in the kingdom of heaven by @persephonesnow!

not me going absolutely insane thinking about zuko and katara during the last agni kai again because of zuko saving katara by redirecting azula's lightning (a technique!!!! developed from waterbending!!!!!!!!!) a move that demands the performer's absolute focus and control in order to redirect it properly and not allowing it to pass through your heart but because zuko was so frantic in his scramble to save katara he couldn't redirect it properly causing him to sustain a fatal injury but of course katara immediately repays his sacrifice by healing him and hE LITERALLY PUT HIS HEART ON THE LINE FOR HER AND SHE HEALED HIM IN TURN SHE HEALED HIM SHE HEALED HIS HEART SHE-

persephonesnow replied to your post “kinda don’t like how the fans cheered very loudly throughout the whole...”

It's Blackhawks tradition? Chicago sports fans have some odd quirks. The Tribune did a nice piece over the cheering through the anthem thing if you want to know some of the history behind it.

ahhh, I guess I didn’t know that it’d been around for a long time. (actually with how often their in the playoffs = me seeing their games, I’m quite surprised I didn’t!) that makes it more understandable. scanning over how it started, it’s still not my fave thing but I’m ok with it

Fic Writer Meme

Thanks for the tag @swaps55 and @wizardofozymandias =)

How many works do you have on AO3?

84

What’s your total AO3 word count?

547675 words

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

First Contact- Shepard x Garrus

Quantum Veil Theory- Solas x Lavellan (modern AU)

Limits- Fenris x Hawke

Top Ten- Shepard x Garrus

Priority Mission: The Wedding- Shepard x Garrus

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes! Some of them admittedly fall through the cracks depending on what's going on in my life, but I do try to respond to all of them.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Free-- It's a FenHawke one-shot that begins by me killing off Hawke. My very first Solavellan fic has a worse ending than canon, but I'm not linking it 😅

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I would argue that given how devastatingly sad the rest of the fic is, The Depth of Fear has the happiest ending. The Edge of Sadness is also pretty happy. Look if Bethany and Alistair don't live happily ever after, what's the point?

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the strangest one you’ve written?

The only one I've written was Take a Chant on Me, in which the DA2 crew (and the Mass Effect crew) live out the plot of Mamma Mia! It is one of my favorite things I've written.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yup.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Rarely. Smut is not a strength of mine, but sometimes a story calls for it like Limits, which is an exploration of sex, trust, and trauma with Fenris and Hawke, and Overboard, which is an exploration of two idiots making super questionable yet sexy decisions on a boat.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not an entire fic, but someone who I know reads my work has lifted multiple passages from me. I haven't confronted them about it, but it doesn't feel great.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone offered to translate my fic into Russian, and then I never heard from them again.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nah. I cannot imagine working with me would be fun. My process is weird and undisciplined.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

This is going to depend on day of the week, but I feel like I have to say Bethany x Alistair.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Listen. Listen. I am going to figure out how to finish this fic, okay? It weighs on me. It hurts me. I pull it out regularly and frown. And that is gonna be Serenity. (Also Red, because my computer apparently deleted chapter 2? Seriously I spent an entire morning searching and the fic is just gone.)

What are your writing strengths?

I mean I think I'm funny.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I get really bogged down in actions. He did this. She did this. When I take my time and edit, I often find more interesting ways to describe things. But sometimes it's just a series of actions.

Oh, the other issue I have is a fear of really committing. This happened in TDOF, and it happened when I was writing QVT, and what I mean is this. I'll have a plan/idea, and then get very self-conscious that the idea was not very good, that people won't like it, that I'll look stupid or in the case of TDOF, it will be overwrought. So I'll try to just speed through it-- get it out so the story can keep going, but not dwell on it. In TDOF, this resulted in a couple chapters that really should have included more emotional catharsis than they did, and I think the ending fell a little flat because of it.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If I see a sentence in fake language in a fic, I X out immediately.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

I just remembered this-- Redwall. When I was like 10 I wrote a lil story for class that was basically me just jiving with Redwall.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

A Hawke's Breakfast. This is going to depend on the day of the week, but I just had so much fun writing this one that I think it wins. But The Edge of Sadness is up there. That was the fastest I've written a fic, and I loved every minute.

I've seen quite a few of these going around (though mostly I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima), so I'm not sure who hasn't been tagged yet. @luzial @shadoedseptmbr @juliafied @asaara-writes @hermiowngranger @persephonesnow

/slinks off to hide in the internet now

[sarsaparillia]

sometimes it's eleven-thirty at night and you scream incoherently into the group chat about the mountains of blithering horseshit that you stake your entire identity on, and, in a deeply satisfying turn of events, the group chat agrees

[baejax-the-great]

Big thank you to @avriellerogue @wardenari @varghaxa @lethendralis-paints​ @juliafied​ @machakizi​ @thatsouthernanthem​ @persephonesnow​!!!

I did not expect so many people to respond, and I got a bunch of good daydream fodder that I look forward to working on once I’m done with my current WIPs

If anybody can think of a scenario in which Bethany and Alistair would be enemies on first meeting, I'd love to hear it.
