#potc hurt comfort

[wild-lavender-rose]

Will Turner x reader with prompt 2 in the first comfort/hurt comfort list? :0

Person A is overworking themselves for a week and Person B is deeply concerned?

You had been like this for days, transfixed on the map before you. Your captain and childhood friend, Will Turner, had enlisted your services to decode the map that would lead to a grand treasure. Anxious to prove your worthiness, you had shut yourself in his office below deck to do just that.

That had been just over a week ago.

"We won't reach our destination for another two weeks." He reminded you on one of his trips to deliver food you would often forget to eat. "You should rest."

"I'll rest when it's finished." You insisted, averting your eyes from his. Ever since he had found you in the tavern to enlist your services, you had found it difficult to look him in the eye. The small crush you had harbored for him as a child had resurfaced with the fierce of a kraken. Only this was far from a crush now. You feared that you loved him deeply. And sometimes, for a moment, you felt that Will loved you as well.

However, your extended time with the map had caused your logic to blur. Now you were unsure about everything, the day and time, the direction of the sun, the concept that Will loved you. In fact, your whole world was starting to blur and darken...

You were alone when you woke with a start, grasping the arms of your chair as the ship lurched about. Or was that just your head? Your vision was blurry. Your body felt hot and cold all at once. You panicked and stood, an action you instantly regretted. Your legs gave out and you hit the floor with a thud, crying out in pain.

# # #

The next thing you were aware of was Will's voice calling for you. You felt his hands on you, warm and strong. You whimpered, trying to explain, to insist you were fine and could get back to work. Will shushed you, a hand to your throbbing forehead. The cool relief of his presence silenced your weak pleas. You grasped his shirt as he lifted you up into his arms, head falling on his shoulder. After countless sleepless nights and days full of cramped muscles and burning eye strain, the sensation of being carried to bed was enough to make you cry.

Will shushed you and held you tight, carrying you to his bed chambers. You tried one final time to resist when he laid you in a large bed befitting of a captain. Will pushed your shoulders back and held you down, whispering reassurance. "Rest now, shhh. Just rest."

"The map,"

"Forget the bloody map, my darling. Just rest."

My darling. How Will's voice sounded, so soft and full of worry. Your body relaxed, his voice paired with the fever sending you into a deep, desperately needed sleep.

# # #

"Will?" You whispered, reaching out to touch the stubble on his face.

"Hmm?" Will opened his eyes, a soft smile on his lips as he took in the sight of you lying beside him. He hadn't left your side ever since he found you nearly unconscious on the floor. Half delirious, you had begged him to share the bed with you whenever he came near. Will had relented, and now it felt as though you had shared a bed for years. Wrapped up in his arms, his fingers toying with your hair as you looked up into his dark, sleepy eyes.

"I love you."

Will's smile grew wider, arms tightening around you. "I love you too. I always have, darling."

You smiled back, settling against him as he pressed a kiss to your sweaty forehead. "As have I," you breathed, already drifting back to sleep.

A Guide to eezybree's Trigun Fanfiction

Hi all! For @trigunfanfic appreciation week, I would like to do a little self-promo. I've only been writing fanfic for about a year (if you don't count my POTC fic from middle school) but it has changed my life and I'm really proud of what I've done so far. If you'd like to read some of my stuff, here's a quick guide!

Bluebells | E | Vashmeryl | 43k, in progress | post-canon Trimax, canon-compliant | Hurt/Comfort, Emotionally-driven, Character-driven. My long fic about Vash and Meryl figuring out life after Trimax. It's mostly Meryl POV, with an emphasis on her PTSD and trauma, but Vash is even more messed up. He's lost and grieving both Wolfwood and his brother, and Meryl's hangups about his nature as a plant certainly don't help their feelings of loneliness even as they're living together. It doesn't help that the ghost of Wolfwood won't leave the damn room. They work it out together while still acknowledging the things that haunt them - Vash's grief and Meryl's fear - and put on a brave face for the TV special on his life. This fic has converted a few people to see Vashmeryl, has made people laugh and cry, and has inspired a little bit of art. This fic is my baby, and I'm so so damn proud of it. ALSO: The smut is skippable!

Funeral Rites | T | Vashwood | 3k | Trimax canon-compliant Vol. 10 Burial fic. My first fic and still beloved. Vash buries Wolfwood and gets weird about it, would you expect any less? This baby is so chock-full of love and grief.

Freaks of Nurture | M | Gen/Vashwood | 2.8k | any canon. Vash gets vivisected and he hallucinates that the surgeon is Knives. Wolfwood gets triggered to hell trying to save him. This is my best and weirdest prose, and I had the most fun writing this. Dead doves abound here.

Silent Night | T | Gen | 4k | Pre-canon sci-fi epistolary-style story of Rem on the SEEDS expedition, leading up to the birth of the twins. My heaviest sci-fi with Rem's grief over her late partner Alex and regret over Tesla running throughout. I adore this fic. It was also inspired by Lenipez's Becoming Eden series, and in turn inspired another Rem-centric fic by mydetheturk!

Fresh Cut | E | Millionsummers | 5.7k | DEADEST DOVE. DESSICATED. My uhhh... body horror smut and essay on what compels me about the messed-up relationship between Legato and Knives. I wrote most of this on a plane (in public). This one is very kinky and weird and somehow hot, if you're into getting visions of your lover cannibalizing you when he comes.

Cigarettes & Saints | E | Mashwood | 3.8K | post-canon Trimax, set somewhere within/after Bluebells. Vash and Meryl visit a grave outside Hopeland and they... get weird with it. One of the tags is Outdoor Sex, and it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Wolfwood's ghost pays them a visit in Vash's butt. This sounds incredibly silly but it's very sweet and sad and there isn't a single dry eye by the end of the fic.

Growing Black Irises | T | Stryfewood | 1k | set somewhere in Bluebells again. Here's how post-canon trimax stryfewood can still win, but oh no it's painful and somehow sweet. So much yearning and regret over things never said or done.

Lightning Rod | M | Elendira POV | 1K | Trigun Stampede | Body Horror week fic; there's a dead dove in here. Inspired by Beelzebby666's Elendira/Tesla, I wanted to explore Elendira's thoughts and feelings about growing up and being experimented on, lauded as Knives' new Tesla. Compels me.

Learn to count on you (as my own fingers) | G | Vashmeryl | 800 words | Any canon. Meryl helps Vash clean his prosthetic, and it's very sweet.

Meet in the Middle (Like Pistols at Dawn) | G | Vashmeryl | 672 words | Domestic Fluff and Sillies. For the indirect kiss prompt for Vashmeryl week. I just really love writing them be goofy and sweet.

Ship to Wreck | T | Stryfewood | 1.6k | Pirate AU! Two small scenes of my pirate AU that is actually a bit more elaborate than the fic lets on. It's a fun time.

Raising Hell | T | Trigun OCs | 1.7k | If you ever had more questions about my silly trigun OC Fanny Paine, well, here's half her backstory. This was fun to write and got me out of a funk! I may write more again. I love Fanny.

[san-sebastienne]

I don’t care that it’s been months; I’m still thinking of how to tighten up s2 and make it have literally any narrative impact/emotional growth. So here’s my chopped and screwed s2 rewrite that nobody fucking asked for, PART ONE:

The big, overarching change is that Ned Lowe is the BBEG of s2. We’re saving Zheng and, more pertinently, Prince Ricky for s3 (that’s definitely happening in my world, shhh). This gives weightier narrative stakes to the Kraken era, since the looming problem is predicated on Ed’s actions – much like the Badmintons as BBEGs in s1 were based in Stede’s actions/past.

The season begins the same: the trauma crew are raiding every day, never making port. The Kraken is making everyone’s lives difficult. They break Ned Lowe’s record, but it doesn’t seem to matter (also Lucius is hiding in the walls of the revenge, causing even more stress and probably trying to haunt Ed. Let’s add a little levity.)

Stede and co in the ROP. Stede’s bartending at Jackie’z and hears someone talking about blackbeard… but they’re being very complimentary. Calling him “fascinating,” “a dedicated man” – not the kind of language that Stede’s gotten used to arguing about. Who’s this gent who seems to actually GET Ed? His name is Ned Lowe, and he’s looking for his old pal blackbeard.

Stede and the crew hitch a ride out of the ROP with Ned, since they all have the same goal – finding Blackbeard. Besides, Ned is genteel. He seems to have the same sort of appreciation for finer things that Stede has, and it’s nice to see after spending so much time cleaning up vomit at Jackie’z. Maybe Stede and Ned have a dinner in the captain’s cabin a la Barbarossa and Elizabeth Swann in the first PotC… everything is grand and well laid out, but something is very wrong. Stede tries to ignore this, but his “this guy is bad news” senses from being a gentleman are tingling.

Meanwhile, back on the trauma ship, Jim is trying not to mourn Oluwande. They’re very “everyone I’ve ever loved is dead; why would he be any different?” They’ve thrown themselves into pirating as a way to double down on their hardened I Am Vengeance persona, and this growing thing with Archie as a rebound.

Leg thing/Frenchie is first mate now/crazy storm thing/let’s kill Blackbeard are all the same. Except Lucius is there, probably spending a lot of time hiding with drunk/sick Izzy (there’s some hurt/comfort in both directions, as much as izzy can be lucid for it). He also shows up for that final shot of the crew looking down at Ed while Jim hefts the cannonball. Ed’s not worried about hallucinating anymore; he’s finally about to die!

It’s Ned’s ship (plus Stede et al) that comes across the storm wreck of the Revenge. Our crew still has to escape over to their old ship, not because anyone found Ed’s corpse but because Izzy, in a moment of clarity, is like oh shit, Ned Lowe is super bad news, we have to get the fuck out of here right now. This way we get the beginning of a basis of trust between Izzy and Stede, since Stede listens to the insistence of the Trauma Crew and takes Izzy’s advice on when to get out of a bad situation.

Gravy Basket happens.

Someone (Lucius?) tells Stede that Ed’s body is still onboard. MerStede happens.

Jim is extremely overwhelmed that Olu is alive. The two of them have a very sweet romantic reunion. They confess to Olu about Archie, but insist that she was just a rebound. Archie tries to laugh the whole thing off – it’s fine! This didn’t matter! Shit things are bound to happen to everyone! Jim feels mega guilty and starts to realize that maybe it wasn’t just a rebound – they might actually care for Archie.

The uicorn leg half of “fun and games” is pretty much the same, the big division between the crews being that The Trauma Crew wants to banish or straight up kill Ed, but they’re still very much being chased by Ned Lowe. Stede’s crew insists that getting distance here is more important than adjudicating that mess.

We do all still come together to give Izzy his new leg.

Ed is locked in some kind of makeshift brig, making everyone tetchy and uncomfortable. Except for Stede, of course, who sees this as his chance to explain himself to LITERALLY captive audience Ed. Stede has the “I love everything about you” scene with him there, and explicitly tells Ed that he didn’t go to the dock bc of Chauncey (holy shit, how does he never fucking bring that up in the actual s2). Ed is moved but not convinced to forgive Stede… yet. They do the hand holding thing here, but don’t have the conversation about taking it slow. Instead, offering his hand thru the bars of the brig is the only thing Ed does to show that he’s heard Stede and is considering forgiving him.

The other half of this episode is the crews re-integrating emotionally. Jim/Olu/Archie explicitly discuss their relationship structure. Jim can be with both of them. Lucius and Pete get to have a moment about how Pete thought Lu was dead; Lucius admits that he kind of thought he was too, since all he did was hide and hang out with a guy who was too delirious to even really recognize him.

Somehow we still get Ed in that catboy collar. Nonnegotiable.

Part two incoming…

Just sent an ask and forgot the question😭

For your free readings game🤍

TD

Song: marry me by hans zimmer from potc 3, best version is only on yt

Question: what do you see happenning in my life for the next 4 months?

Thanks💕

Hello dear <3

Your next 4 months

Cards: Temperance, Three of Swords, Three of Cups, Five of Swords, Six of Swords, Standstill

I see a lot happening for you in the near future (because my cards won't stop falling 😂). I keep hearing busy busy!!!

Yeah but on a very serious note, spirits are advising you to look out for fake friends and loved ones. Number three is significant as well as number 5. You are being advised to not take things to heart but rather learn from the lessons that life present to you. I'm not good at astrology but do go through your Vedic chart. A new cycle is on the horizon.

You are also being advised to practice self-care and to relax your mind. Moongazing will also be quite beneficial for you. I firmly believe that the universe is preparing you and is trying to instill values in you, via some soul stirring experiences, that will be beneficial for you in the long run.

Now for the main qiestion, the next four months won't be the smoothest for you. The universe is just trying to shake things up for you to come out of your comfort zone. General advice is that let it be. Face the challenges head on. There will be revelations that might hurt your heart a little bit but you'll be fine. They say that god removes people from your life because he heard conversations that you didn't hear. Just say amen to that sister and believe that it's all a part of the divine play. You'll be fine <3

FANDOM/FANFIC ASKS.

6. Favorite headcanon?

ohhhhhhhh probably my pet headcanon about the opening narration, that the letters vicki writes to herself that she mentions in 66 are the opening "my name is victoria winters" monologues:

"You must have written a great many letters to yourself." "It's like some people keep a diary, that's what it amounts to. My own personal diary written to myself." "You must have a pretty complete record of everything that's happened to you."

it's only ever mentioned the one time, so i don't know that there's that much purposeful intent to link it to the monologues? but thinking of them that way frames dark shadows as a gothic novel in the epistolary tradition put to screen — that victoria, our jane eyre, is relaying the story to us as the viewer, rather than the reader. but also that it's something she's writing for herself, to make sense of the world, to have a record, to put down a kind of family history for the single leaf of the winters family tree. the monologues are quite different tonally to the rest of the dialogue especially when victoria is our constant narrator, which i think supports the notion that they are interpreted through an in-universe hand — that they are something separate, a found object, recorded and crafted and read to us rather than spoken, and lived. and of course, they're in her voice.

and, too, that thinking of them as being vicki's work lends itself to interpreting her as not just record-keeper, but a writer — a poet, even! it's a weird habit, leftovers of her days at the foundling home, but it's also a creative exercise, and fitting with her role of gothic heroine where the pen, and the storytelling, and the page are her own, in a world that is otherwise vastly outside of her control. that she begins each letter — each day — with an assertion of "my name is victoria winters," clinging to her own identity and her name as anchor. that she feels the need to re-introduce herself to herself each time, as if she is in danger of becoming lost (she is!) — that victoria winters is a stranger to her. that, much like the course of the narrative itself, the monologues become not hers, that she fades out of them, that the story bleeds away from her pages, as she bleeds from the story.

14. Fandom you keep returning to?

p.irates of the caribbean my beloved. it has long been my companion and even though i'm much more in ds brain these days, it's definitely still in there! i ran my previous rp blog off and on for 10 years, it's my home port for me in a way — and if you talk to me for any length of time at all i'll be communicating in potc quotes (or bloopers quotes, or jack d.avenport commentary quotes, etc.) pirates have a way of coming back to haunt me in both surprising and utterly unsurprising ways.

21. Favorite fic trope?

hm. hm. i don't know that i have a favorite reading-wise, maybe hurt/comfort? when i write i tend to gravitate back to to marriages of convenience i have to say.

While Carina steering the wheel, using her late-mother’s manuscripts, Barbossa noticed his late lover’s journal that Carina hold. Barbossa thought she was his late-lover hallucinated him. He apologized to her for mistaken Carina as her late mother, Margaret. But they quickly realized, Carina and Barbossa suprised that she’s a long lost daughter of Barbossa. Happily, the two tearfully reunited together. Barbossa went up to Jack and told him about Carina's mom and his late lover, Margaret (aka Peggy). Barbossa discussing about what happened to Peggy, he said few days after Carina came to the world, Peggy died of maternal mortality and leaving Barbossa single to raise Carina. And he said that it's difficult to handle grief and loss to raise his daughter and cause him to left Carina at the orphanage so he had slow recover from grief and wish he can be with her from cruel world since he aged. Barbossa went to his daughter and told her about her late mother and what happened to her. He said that her late mother is still with us and he showed his miniature portrait of his late lover to Carina and how beautiful her mother was and gave it to her.

But then, The Royal Navy caught the Pearl until  La Silencia Maria destroyed and attacked the Pearl. Carina went back to the steering wheel and using her late mother's journal and using North Star to guide her to find the island. The two crews battling each other.

Carina pull out the ruby with “p” stands for Polaris and Barbossa said this is for her late mother. She puts the last ruby on the stand and the ocean opens to make a path for the Silver Crystal. Jack and Carina walked up to get the Crystal until Henry was possesses by Salazar strangling Jack and Carina throws the rock at Henry as Salazar got out from him. Carina apologizes to Henry for throwing a rock at him to stop Salazar possessing in him. La Silencia Maria crew attacked the three mortals and Jack is battling off while Henry and Carina quickly get the Silver Crystal.

The anchor from the Pearl drops so Jack, Henry, Carina  climbs on the until Salazar caught Henry’s ankle and trying to let it go and leaving Salazar’s crew drowned as the anchor raised back to the ship.

Meanwhile at the uprising set, both mortal and cursed seamen build a barricade and battling of Morgana’s minions and they hope they will be free from her.

Back at the Pearl, they finally brought the Silver Crystal for the uprising. Salazar is sad that all of his men are gone until he saw the crystal that Henry holds. Salazar tried to touch it until it sparks on him and his curse was gone. This surprised the Pearl crew. Carina said from her late-mother’s journal said that legendary Silver Crystal can revive from the curse and Henry said that  they should bring the crystal to the resistance that Calypso said. Jack thinks it’s cool to defeat Morgana and the Pearl sails of to the rebellion. However, Salazar now human was put in cell of the ship as they sail.

At the ruins of the Witch’s fort, Jack and others arrives, Henry carrying the crystal while the rebellion still ongoing. Until, the minions attacks them. The crew began to fought the, however, Barbossa is going to fight them by himself and told the others to go. Carina wants to help him but Barbossa told her and others to go while fighting of and the crew dragged Carina from her father. 

As the crew went to the rebellion where the barricade as at, as the rest of the people still rebelled, the crew saw Morgana battling with the cursed undead men on the sea. Jack calls the witch’s name and the witch teleports at the scene. Morgana was surprised about Jack was here. And then, Jack made a speech about how tyrant Morgana was. He said she shouldn’t silent all the voices of cursed undead men who are dying of being bewitched to charge her powers. Jack told her that her silence is not an answer and he grabbed the Silver Crystal from Henry and show it to Morgana and the crystal cause Morgana hurt and realized it works. Henry is trying to grab Jack's shoulder, the power from the crystal hurt Morgana more. Jack calls everyone come to join Jack together in hold to raise the power  more from the Silver Crystal until it finally defeats Morgana.

Moment later, the bewitched seamen are now finally freed from the curse. The freemen and other living pirates began to rejoice of victory against Morgana. Aside, Carina was deep blue that her father was scarified for her and others before. Angelica came to Carina and comforts her and told her that whether her father is alive or not. Carina began to hope. Henry reunites his parents, Elizabeth is happy to see her son was alive. And then, the Turner couple finally reunites Jack after many years. Elizabeth thanked Jack for helping her son to find the crystal and she said that the crystal must be safely stored. Elizabeth's old friend, Norrington finally reunited after long years. Jack said he was tired and need a hiatus from the adventures he’s been through. Later, Jack meet Salazar and freed him from the cell. Salazar is about to arrested him despite Jack’s still on parole, yet, Jack told him that pirates aren’t just sea criminals but rebellious human beings. This shocks Salazar for a moment for confronted by empathetic and compassion and consequences he faced, he decided to drown himself into deep sea.

Barbossa finally met Peggy in a dark place that is supposed to be an afterlife and happily reunited and walks off. 

Jack happily having a big break. Angelica and Elizabeth taking care of Carina and teaching her how to be self-aware. Carina feel home with others around her. Then, the dinner party is ready with others, the three ladies went to the Brethren Court to celebrate the victory. Henry and Carina fell in love together. 

At least, this not an end, this is the new beginning.

Hey, this is your secret Santa here :) I hope you are doing well and staying safe :))

I have some questions that I'm hoping you could answer :)

1. Do you have a favorite music artist? If so what is your favorite song of theirs?

2. What is your favorite captain swan scene? Why do you like it?

3. What are some or your favorite things to see in you fav ships? Any tropes you prefer?

And yes, that's all the questions I have for now teehee. Stay safe and happy, until next time :)

Hello friend! So nice to meet- or, I guess, not meet you. 😂

1.. I don't really have a favorite because I have some weird music tastes- like I just listen to whatever and if it slaps; it slaps. I like a lot of musicals and stuff. Idk. Like here's a copy of my spotify wrapped for this year if that helps, but then again, I also listen to a lot on youtube (and downloaded from youtube) so maybe that doesn't help 😅

2. Their scene at the end of Breaking Glass matters a lot to me. He's just so gentle with her after all the hardness she's been enduring.

But I also appreciate this scene from season 6, for similar reasons, and because it reminds me of my comfort song "so will i" by ben platt, and like. He's like the calm in her storm and it's so precious.

3. It's usually a powerful girl and a guy who's just a total simp for her. [I love Willabeth (POTC) and NewDream (Tangled.)] I also like people who will change themselves for their partner (rather than trying to change their partner or waiting for their partner to change them) and working for that relationship. Also, subtle (or not so subtle) themes of piracy don't hurt 😉

Thanks for asking and for doing this! Sorry if some of my answers weren't super helpful!

✨kazzy!

@sleepsonfutons tagged me so now I have to perceive my own wips folder. There’s so many. I think I'm going to limit it to sandman otherwise we’ll be here all day lolol. 

Okay, staring off hot wiiiiith:

- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work - my baby in the sandman fandom. The first one I started uploading, where Hob finds an ‘abandoned baby’ on his doorstep that looks suspiciously like his Stranger. I’m sorry to this fic because I love you but the Dreamling bingo took over my brain. 

- Read Between the Lines (and come find me) a fic where Dream takes Calliopes place. It’s generally just Dream and the No Good Very Bad Horrible Century. 

- This Boy’s Too Young To Be Singing The Blues a fic where Robyn is the vortex.

- Unnamed Siren One for this, it’s either going to be POTC 4 inspired, OR Hob gets marooned at sea and has to rely on a siren to help him stay alive.

- Until The Sun and Moon go Down Hob saves Dream from an arranged marriage by accidentally kidnapping him. 

- Better the Devil you Know (than the one you don’t) Hob’s a demon. Lucifer wins the Oldest Game. 

- Unnamed Flowers one Inspired by that one comic panel where Dream drops a rose in front of the White Horse

- Unnamed hurt/no comfort this one follows the events of the wake. 

- Unnamed Teasing prompt WIP would you look at that, the king of nightmares is ticklish. How awful for him that Hob has made this discovery. 

- Unnamed WIP - Dream shows up drunk at Hob Gadling’s house.

- Poppycock Wishes - Genie Dream

There’s...more. But alas, that’s all we have time for today. 

I’m to awkward to tag, but if anyone sees this and wants to give it a go consider  yourself tagged!! 

[needle-noggins]

I was tagged by @eilwen I guess for this fic bingo and this is kinda fun! And I got double bingo! So thanks!!

Fun facts:

- I was FF.net when I was a child. Straight up 13 years old. Writing fics about a POTC spin-off book series. I had never heard of a beta reader. All my works were inspired by Fall Out Boy lyrics. I killed off a major character because I didn’t like him. Then one day I just stopped and never showed my face there again and I don’t know why. That was also my RP phase (surprise, also POTC). Does it count that I play dnd now too?

- All fanfic is self-indulgent. My current wip is extremely self-indulgent. but Sav, it’s hurt/comfort? With a lot of pain? And before this you wrote a burial fic?? Hey. It’s free therapy. Don’t think about it too hard but if we’re friends I’ll tell you literally anything.

- I am stupid and often try to leave Kudos multiple times.

-consider yourself equally blessed if I leave incoherent keysmashes or a long list of my favorite things about your fic. Sometimes I just can’t form words and that’s how it is to be me on this bitch of an earth.

- I have a (dead dove) fic idea that involves medical horror and I’m having a lot of fun researching for it but I’m sure the DEA has me on several lists now

- I outline and have a beta reader, like a good little noodle. I don’t trust myself not to because I don’t consider myself a writer. I don’t know what I’m doing here I’m just having a good time. But I want it to be good writing too, you know?

- wine spritzers make the muses sing and make me less scared to Write Badly on Purpose.

Here’s the original bingo card for anyone who wants to participate, and in the spirit of the thing, I’ll tag a few people - @madnessmadness @mydetheturk @what-immortal-hand-or-eye @hashtagcaneven go crazy or don’t, whatever floats.

reposted. tysm for tagging me @feyres-divorce-lawyer 🥰💚

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?

hmm i think it was pirates of the caribbean. i remember watching the movies as they were coming out and making up an oc in my mind (at the time i had no idea i was doing this, i didn't even know what an oc was) and wishing she could've been a part of the actual storyline

i don't remember how exactly i came upon ff.net but thats where i first started writing my potc and hp fanfics

🍇 How many fandoms have you written in?

oo so many over the years. off the top of my head, pirates of the caribbean, harry potter, twilight (i had an obsession with the volturi and also rosalie hale), tvd, fairy tail, dragon age: inquisition and of course my most recent obsession, the acotar series

🍈 How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

i wanna say at least ten years, on and off

🍎 Do you read or write more fanfiction?

i haven't had time to do much of either lately, but usually im reading more than writing, although im aiming to change that so that im doing both at an even pace

🍌What is one way you’ve improved as a writer?

i don't nitpick as much as i use to and i don't wait for an absolutely perfect result in order to publish something

🍑 Do you have any bad habits as a writer?

over planning so much that by the time i get to the writing stage i've burned myself out too much to actually write it 🤦🏻‍♀️

🍍What’s the weirdest topic you’ve researched for a writing project?

a list of kinks for a kinktober project i fridged lol. not that having or exploring a kink is weird, but looking at a list of kinks in a clinical "would this ship be into it" kind of way makes me giggle

🍉 What’s your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

any and all comments make me smile so wide it hurts, but if you comment on some portrayed symbolism or manage to quote a line i was particularly proud of, just know you own my whole heart 💚

🍐 What’s the most fringe trope/topic you write about?

probably rhysta or neslin

🥭 What is the hardest type of story for you to write?

for acotar, modern aus (but i love to read them and im trying to get more comfortable with writing them)

🍏 What is the easiest type?

angst, my best friend. its so easy (and fun!) to describe all the ways a heart can hurt

🍋 What is something you’ve been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?

a feylin howl's moving castle au! i have it planned out (as well as a rhysta sequel and an elucien epilogue) but its such a daunting, multi-chaptered project and the characterization is so difficult to lock in, i've just kinda left it sitting in a folder. but i genuinely would love to write it out one day! or maybe bits and pieces here and there

also rhyslain in any capacity

🍇 What made you choose your username?

fox = lucien, cort = court

when i first read the acotar books, lucien was my favorite (and still is one of my favorites) but after acowar and later acofas/acosf that switched to nesta & tamlin on account of how terribly they were treated and my inability to resist loving those kinds of characters the most

also, how cute would a court of foxes be 🦊

I need to say something about Good Omens season 2.

I want to start by stating that, independent from my opinion, I will continue watching Good Omens on Amazon Prime, and invite as many people as I can to do the same. We need to support the writers strike in any way possible.

... My feelings for the second season are split in two. On one side, the shipper in me loved it. There was so much fluff (and a lot of squealing from my part), and a sane amount of hurt in the end (but I do expect to see the comfort in season 3). 10/10 would recommend.

On the other hand though, this felt like reading half-blood Prince, or even, do I dare to say it, Cursed Child. It didn't feel like the second season of Good Omens, but like, albeit very well written, fanfiction.

I'm all for Crowley and Aziraphale loving each other, but this used to be complimentary to the main storyline, while now it became the centre of the story, and the troubles between heaven and hell happened only to help them discover their feelings.

Also, you can't really compare the apocalypse to whatever happened to Gabriel this season. It left me with the question: "was I really watching season 2 or was it just the prologue for season 3?".

This is a pet peeve of mine: I understand deciding to create sequels when a stand-alone project seems to be successful, but why not creating more stand-alone works, with no cliffhangers that will only be resolved in the next chapter, and maintaining the same narrative style of the original work? This trend of having the second installment as a first part of the final one is just an excuse to make more money, to ensure that the viewers will want to watch the next chapter... I can assure you that, if I like a story, I absolutely don't need this escamotage.

I thought this when Matrix became a trilogy, when the second Pirates of the Caribbean came out (and many other franchising since then), if you leave the first chapter as stand-alone, while the other two are connected with each other, is it really a trilogy? (Conversationally, I watched the first Matrix and PotC many times, while the sequels only once, when they came out. Everything after the trilogies I never even watched).

Ok, I think I said everything I needed.

Again, the shipper in me loved the new season, it had everything I wanted, delivered all the deliverables and even more. Tennant and Sheen were superb actors and their interactions were exquisite as usual. The dichotomy means that I will watch the series again, continue reading fanfics, appreciating fanarts and reblogging gifsets, because I did like the season.

Only... Season 1 was better.

Rec notes: If the words "HeiHuaXiu PacRim AU" don't get you, I'm not sure anything I can say will. They're all absolutely delightful and terrible here.

“Xie Yuchen,” she snaps, “you have a lot of explaining to do.”

“Xiao Hua-gege,” she says, “why do you and Wu Xie-gege never tell me what’s happening? Hei-ye won’t answer my calls either.”

She takes a deep breath in through her nose. “Be safe and come back soon. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay.” --- The time Huo Xiuxiu spends alone, and time that she spends with the people she loves.
