I'm quite pumped to start my Fic O'Clock challenge tomorrow! I'm not totally sure which WIP I'll tackle on the first day, but here's a list in no particular order of the works I may or may not poke during the challenge:
Heal - Star Trek TNG - A long-form slow burn Beverly/Deanna friends-to-eventual-polycule that's sadly been stuck between chapters 3 and 4 forever. Look forward to getting back to it! AO3 link
Another Haven - Star Trek TNG - AU Beverly/Deanna short-shot reworking of the TNG episode "Haven". Still drafting.
Unnamed O'Keiry's short shot - Star Trek DS9 - Short-shot about Miles, Kira and Nerys getting together following the birth of Kirayoshi. Still drafting but did Flufftober for it last year.
Melodies - Criminal Minds - Emily/JJ/Will friends-to-polycule fic with a lot of angst. In the planning stage.
Missed Opportunities - Criminal Minds - Penelope/Morgan one-offs showing all the ways they could've gotten together. Two already up, two being drafted.
Unnamed ER fix-it - ER - One-shot fix-it fic for a particular Kerry Weaver scene/storyline. Still planning, I can't even decide which way to go with the fix-it.
I feel like there's others I'm missing but hopefully not... I certainly won't finish them all, but hopefully I'll make progress with them all and finish a few!

oh my god abed smut PLS
The Notebook
————————————————————————————————————
Summary: Abed decide to help you recreate one of your favorite movie scenes
Warnings: fem!reader, pre establish relationship, oral fem!receiving, fingering, cursing, implication on oral m!receiving at the end
Genre: smut
Point of view: 2nd person
A/n: I was hoping someone would ask for this mwahaha… I have never written smut before so I am SO sorry if it’s terrible
————————————————————————————————————
————————————————————————————————————
Since you totaled your car about a week prior, you had been forced to walk back to your apartment after classes each day.
Your boyfriend, Abed, had offered to walk with you since he was usually at your place most evenings anyway. Besides, your apartment was a lot bigger than his dorm.
“Jeff seemed pretty worked up about the whole Rich thing.” You say as the two of you make your way to the exit door. Abed had just watched Jeff run off into the rain after being told Rich rejected Annie. The couple assumed he was headed to confess to her his feelings.
Abed shrugged, “yeah, it’s pretty obvious how jealous he was.” He pushed the exit door open, holding it for you.
You smiled up at your boyfriend, exiting past him while your shoulder brushes against his shirt. You could feel the warmth radiating off of him, when you’re this close to him all you want is to be in his arms. “What a gentleman.”
All of that faded when the sound of pouring rain finally caught up to you. Looking around from under the awning, you’re face dropped as you were met with soaking pavement and crashing bullets of water.
“What the hell?” You scoff. It was bad enough how late you were leaving, but now yet another obstacle has gotten in between you and your cozy home. “Was it raining when you were out here earlier?”
“Yeah. I figured it would’ve stopped by now.” Abed stared into the rain, looking as if he was trying to come up with a plan. Meanwhile, you’re letting out a long sigh. The longest sigh.
Suddenly, Abed tilted his head. The way he tilts his head when he gets an idea. “You don’t have to walk with me, Abed. Why don’t you catch a ride with Troy?”
He shook his head, lifting his finger. After a beat he looked over at you, pointing. “No, I have a better idea. I’m walking with you.”
“Uh… okay. What’s your idea?” Your eyebrows furrowed. You weren’t quite sure what your boyfriend was planning, but it could be literally anything.
That was one of the many upsides of dating Abed, you never knew what was going on in his head, which made for a very interesting time.
“Just trust me. Let’s start walking.” Before you know it, he was off into the storm. You braced yourself before catching up to him, the rain pouring down onto you.
You knew this would probably make for a cold tomorrow, but you really didn’t have a choice.
You and Abed walked together through the rain, it wasn’t a very long walk and soon enough you got desensitized to the buckets of water falling onto you.
The two of you clung to each other as you journeyed home. You picked the wrong day not to wear a bra.
At a point, you saw abed notice your nipples poking through the fabric of your shirt, but when he did he only started walking faster.
“Abed, slow down!” It was getting harder and harder to keep up with him, unfortunately your legs weren’t as long as his and you eventually gave up trying to catch up to him.
Your place was coming into view and Abed stopped in his tracks. As you caught up to him, he turned around to look at you.
“What the hell was that about?” You were practically yelling over the rain, the sound of it pounding against the ground made it almost impossible to hear anything.
Abed looked down on you, your faces were mere inches apart. “You like ‘The Notebook’, right?” Abed asked this at a normal volume, but that had become the new whisper. Water was dripping from his face onto yours as you looked up at him.
“What?”
“I asked if you liked ‘The Notebook’.” He met your tone as you were both yelling while standing face to face.
“Yeah, so wha-“ your face of confusion slowly settled as you caught up to what he was alluding to. You smirked, your eyes narrowing slightly.
“Abed…”
“What?”
You now knew exactly what he was doing, he was trying to recreate the sex scene from one of your all time favorite movies. The one that just so happened to start in the pouring rain.
You swiftly walked until you were far enough away from him to properly reenact the scene.
“Why didn’t you write me? Why?” You yelled, you tried to keep a straight face but you were no actress. Your amusement was clear as day, this was a dream come true for you. Every woman on the planet has fantasized of doing something like this.
Abed, however, stayed in character. When he gets into one it’s hard to pull him out. In this case, you weren’t complaining.
His expression remained confused as he walked to meet you, just like in the movie.
“It wasn’t over for me,” you continued to recite, “I waited for you for seven years, and now it’s too late.” You were glad he picked a film you knew like the back of your hand, so the script was truly settled into your brain.
He had finally caught up to you, standing face to face once again. “I wrote you three-hundred and sixty-five letters. I wrote you every day for a year.”
Abed truly did have a talent for moments like these, you would applaud him for it later. Of course with being his girlfriend the two of you had recreated sex scenes before, but this one was different.
It felt more spontaneous than the others, it was perfect. Not only was it thoughtful of him to pick a film you liked instead of one of his favorites, but the circumstances were that of a miracle.
“You wrote me?”
“Yes!” His cadence was perfect, almost as if Noah took over his body. That was the only way you could explain the way Abed acted when he got into it, he was a host for the character he played.
“It wasn’t over. It still isn’t over.”
And just perfectly, Abed grabbed you with a hunger you’d never seen from him before. The rain water mixed with the taste of his saliva.
His hands gripped the back of your thighs harshly, lifting you up. You wrapped your legs around his waist, half expecting it to fail. However, just like in the movie he held onto you. He carried you as he walked like this, occasionally pulling away to make sure he knew where he was going. You had no clue Abed had this strength.
You assumed your underwear was only soaked because of to the rain, but now joined by a throbbing pulse you were made aware it was more than that. You could also tell that your nipples weren’t the only thing to harden due to the cold as Abed picked you up and essentially pressed you against his half-erection.
The kiss never ended. It was a constant battle of dominance between you two, but when he pushed you up against the door of your apartment you gave in.
Abed’s pressed himself firmly against you, keeping you steady as you free him of his soaking shirt. A soft moan escaped your lips as you noticed Abed’s length had fully hardened. The second you tossed it to the side, he pinned your hand above your head onto the door behind you.
You let out a gasp, you knew it was in the scene but it still caught you off guard.
Abed stripped you of your jacket, this proved difficult as the wet fabric stuck to your skin.
He picked you up again, this time heading towards your bedroom. You lifted your shirt over your head and exposed your freezing chest to the even cooler air. Abed placed you gently down onto your bed.
Although he was playing a character, you could see in Abed’s eyes during moments like these that it was most definitely still him. Especially the way he looked down at you in your most vulnerable state.
You eagerly relieved him of his belt, you were getting impatient. He could tell.
Once his pants were fully off, Abed sat up on his knees. “This is my favorite part,” he whispered.
Abed began to pull down your skirt and you lifted your hips from the bed. Then, just like in the film, he held your leg above his shoulder as he guided your tights slowly down, dropping them behind him.
At this point it was authenticity you and Abed. All of the build up was a movie reference, but this was real.
His soft kisses trailed all the way up your thigh, leading to the place you needed him most.
“Abed?”
“Yeah?” His usual, robotic tone had returned.
“I love you.”
Abed grazes his thumb along the lips of your vagina, “I love you more.”
Your soft whimpers fill the room as he slips his tongue inside of you, he always liked this part the most.
Abed was more of a giver, he enjoyed the look on your face. He was obviously a cinematic guy, this was his favorite film to watch. The one of your pleasure.
Abed’s tongue flickered in and out of you in a calculated manner, your hand had found its way into his hair at some point while fighting against the fire coming from inside of you.
“Keep going, Abed.”
He partnered his tongue with two of his long fingers, he did this quickly and without warning. You felt yourself pounding, “faster, please,” you knew you were getting scarily close.
Abed obliged, his pace immediately quickened and it seemed he could tell you were nearing orgasm as well.
“Shit-“ as you finally poured over the edge, he started slowing. He made sure to be intentional about cleaning up all of the juices that poured out of you.
Your breathing was heavy, you tried your best to come back down from heaven. Abed came up to greet you with a deep kiss. A kiss that had a million words within it, one that truly displayed how much he cares for you.
“I think that was my favorite movie reference of yours,” you added as he pulled back.
“I was really pandering to my audience with this one, but I guess that does usually make for a fan favorite.”
You rolled your eyes at his comment, pushing him off of you onto his back. You switched positions so that you were now hovering over him.
“What are you doing?”
“Pandering to my audience,” with that, you slowly made your way down his person, stopping when your face was lined up to his pelvis.
Abed smiled, “I see what you did there.”

I’m writing a fic rn and. When exactly does Troilus die? I’ve tried searching but one place I saw said it was toward the end of the war, and another said it was near the beginning. I’m assuming it was pre-illiad but I cannot for the life of me figure out a specific time.
I’m probably going to just wing it but I did want to ask you bc you’re kind of the Apollo (and Apollo adjacent) expert in my eyes 😅
ahh ty for the compliment anon, though there is a lot about Apollo that I am not (yet...) personally knowledgeable on.
However! I think I can help you with this >:3
So, I can tell you that Troilus died BEFORE the Iliad, this is because King Priam calls Achilles "boy-slayer" in the text, and it is a reference to Achilles murdering Troilus! (...I think. I'm second-guessing myself now haha)
When does it occur exactly though?
Officially, we have no idea (I think). But! I can point you to @littlesparklight and the "little" (the grind chases them but they are faster) timeline they made, where if I remember correctly, put Troilus's murder 8 years before the Fall of Troy. (Feel free to correct me on this lol it's been a hot minute since I've seen it :3)
(If you ever want more info on the Trojan Family, and the War in general, littlesparklight is THE blog to go to imho. very juicy analysis with references yum yum! the amateur scholar in me always eats well whenever i find time to scroll heheh)
hope this helped anon and have fun with that fic!! :D i can tell it's gonna be angsty. give us the angst anon we're all angst gremlins >;3

modern day trick where Alicia visits her brother at Broke Jaw Ranch and the whole prepper ranch thing really catches peoples attention, so suddenly her fun little tiktoks go from 50 views consisting of her peers to thousands of strangers asking a million questions. so she ropes Troy into posting on his own account (that he 100% doesn't run. let's be honest, he doesn't even own a cell phone) because he's spreading the word, helping people prepare so they won't start trouble in the end times, exactly what his father used to do with the tapes. naturally people make up all kinds of assumptions about him, the ranch, and what kind of people live in a place like that. religious nuts, cultists, right-wing losers. but then he starts lore dropping every ten videos or so like, "you need two people to set this up, today my husband Nick will be assisting me—" & "teaching your children early on is essential to survival. Nick and I have an eight year old daughter—" & "My Nick is a former addict, so locking up the medicine is just as important as ensuring we have enough—" and he'll never know the uproar in the comments, Alicia only shares the questions people have about prepping and uploads the responses and giggles to herself about the whole thing
I have a fic in my drafts about Nick meeting the Otto brothers while they're volunteering at a shelter he frequents, and chooses to go to the ranch as an alternative to going to rehab again. naturally Nick and Troy fall in love, the ranch is kind to them, including Jeremiah (Madison still sucks, but she only visits so it's okay), and they live a very happy life together pre-apocalypse. this idea was born from that fic but isn't actually in it so I figured I'd share it here rather than let it rot away in my phone
#ik people would be in them comments asking “wait he can love??” after the husband reveal#cause troy comes across as a psychopath for sure#he would show 0 emotion in those videos#so to the point#but alicia would videos of their relationship behind the scenes on her profile#and no internet means nick and troy will never know#ftwd trick#trick ftwd#troy otto#ftwd troy#ftwd#nick clark#alicia clark#ftwd nick#fear the walking dead

I have a fun [citation needed] hypothetical for you. Say you have been granted the authority to make FIVE editorial directives for DC comics that will be followed for at least the next five years. What are you demanding?
No company events.
No major events with ten thousand tie-in comics.
No big crossover events.
No big gimmick events.
No event comics.
Okay, I kid, but only slightly. I'm actually going cheat slightly and give you five plus an extra one that needs a bit more explanation:
No company-wide crossover events or gimmick events that derail major ongoing stories in individual books shall be made. If an event comic is published, any tie-ins will be published separately from the character's ongoing/mini (for reference: like the Blackest Night tie-in specials).
Institute a lore consistency team within the Archives department. Mandate that every single creative team MUST read and utilize a character/story bible before writing any scripts. The scripts will be looked over by a member of the lore team as well as the book editor before being approved for publication.
The Young Justice generation is finally allowed to grow up and, where necessary, get new hero names. In particular, Tim Drake finally gets to age and stop being Robin. He picks 'Blackbird' as his new name, gets a cool new red-and-black costume, and stars in a rebooted Young Justice book alongside his friends.
Barbara Gordon has to formally retire from the Batgirl role and become Oracle full time again. This is handled in a way that is respectful of her character and her disability. Cassandra Cain will be Batgirl full-time again while Stephanie Brown goes back to Spoiler; Cass gets a Batgirl solo ongoing while Steph would join a rebooted Gotham Knights team book that includes her, Kate, Helena, Luke Fox, and Jean-Paul Valley.
Wonder Woman's established lore is acknowledged, respected, and re-emphasized. Diana is a clay baby again, Cassie is Zeus's daughter again, The Return of Donna Troy is acknowledged as the definitive explanation of Donna's multiple-choice backstory (while the fire origin stays the definitive origin), Artemis gets her original origin back, etc. Full acceptance of the Rucka Rebirth retcon to reset Diana's origins and childhood back to the post-Crisis status quo. No references to the Zeus origin or the New 52 Amazons are allowed to be made except in context of Rucka's "it was a lie" explanation.
In priority order, those editorial mandates probably fall out to be something like 2>1>5>3 and 4 in a tie; 3 and 4 are kinda interchangable since they collectively would fix a wide swath of what's wrong with the Bat books right now.
My "extra" mandate would be that writers must utilize existing characters where possible for their stories. No new "major" heroes are to be introduced unless a writer can prove that a book needs a new character to fill an identified gap. Prioritization should go to a) characters who used to be used on a regular basis in a given book but have not been seen in 10+ years and b) characters introduced within the past 5-7 years.
I'd want this one for two reasons: one, there's a ton of pre-existing characters who used to be staple or regularly recurring characters who have failed to get regular appearances since 2011, for a variety of reasons. Forcing writers to use them instead of creating new characters would allow DC to rebuild some continuity, bring back old favorites, and provide closure to lingering storylines that were cut short or never followed up on. Two, there's a hell of a lot of new characters have been introduced and discarded without actually building them out properly the last few years. I would honestly only put this one in place for around 3 years...long enough to force DC to actually flesh out the underutilized newbies and provide some closure and new beginnings for some old favorites.

so I'm writing a musical about the Trojan War
and literally I don't think I've actually explained it so like:
(btw if you're like already a consumer of the Trojan content, this probably sounds real familiar to you also yes I nuked the other like 95 children of Priam shhh leave me alone) Act I largely focuses on a pre-war narrative, starting with the wedding of crown prince Hector to his beloved Andromache. We then follow the youngest prince, Paris, as he is guided to Greece by the love goddess Aphrodite to the most beautiful woman in the world, Queen Helen of Sparta. The problem? Helen is already married, to King Menelaus. Through a series of events, Paris and Helen elope, which kickstarts what would be known in classical literature as the Trojan War as Menelaus and his brother, King Agamemnon of Mycenae, call upon the king of Greece to help take back Helen. Back home in Troy, priestess/princess/seeress Cassandra warns her family of the incoming danger, while the other two sons of King Priam, Helenus and Deiphobus, struggle with their own responsibilities and battle their own demons.
Act II encompasses much of the ninth and tenth years of the war. Now older, wiser, and wearier, Hector must choose between his duty to Troy, or his obligations to his wife and their newborn son, Scamandrius. Meanwhile, Cassandra suffers under the weight of a curse given to her by her patron god, Apollo, and second son Deiphobus begins to buckle under the weight of his own conscience. Desperately, they all try to keep their family from falling. The question is, will they succeed?
#greek mythology#all fall together#trojan war#percy jackson#the song of achilles#epic the musical#also yes I know it sounds like a book blurb#I came up as an author before I decided to brain rot into musical theater like a NERD#Homer would probably be rolling in his grave tbh#also Cassandra is aroace#and yes I have Patrochilles#also it's more like a contemporary theater opera than a musical#can you tell I'm ADHD

relationship troy x reader
content nonconsensual voyeurism, nonconsensual mutual masterbation, troy is a fucking creepy, daffodil is just as creepy jacking off to him smh
He was so lucky your window opened to the untilled land west of the camp. Your sounds carry on the wind into nothingness, straight into his ear canals. Such pretty little sounds. He loves listening to you like this. Enthralled in your actions unaware of the going ons just a few feet away. Whispers turn into squeals as you slowly get closer to the edge. It normally takes you about half an hour to cum and he makes sure to stay until the very last moment.
Daring a peak he freezes once his eyes rake over your body. Bare, sweat gleaming over your entirety. You’re a masterpiece. Legs spread wide as your toes curl into the sheets below. Drooling cunt soaking those same sheets like a Bob Ross painting. He can’t tear his eyes away. The hand which rubbed at your clit occasionally leaves to pinch and twist at your nipple.
He takes in the sight like a starved man. Maybe he is. No, he definitely is. A man so starved he has to hope you leave your window open. Leave it open in the hope he gets to hear those wonderful sounds. Lock them away in the vault that is his mind. Get a single glance so he can hastily scribble a drawing of you. This time he was going to commit. Take it all in. Watch you from start to finish. Watch as your body reacts to each sound that falls from your lips.
You shift and pause. A defeated huff and you're flinging yourself onto your stomach. His heart hammers loudly in his ears. He becomes nervous as you raise your hips. There was no way you knew he was there and yet here you are presenting yourself for him. Eyes tightly closed as you grit your teeth. Jaw clenched tightly as you grind against the air. Your fingers working yourself over. Pinching and clawing at your puffy cunt. Doing anything to get yourself off and he knows if you just invited him in he could satiate that need for you.
He would make you cum over and over again.
His cock head is swollen as he lazily rubs his fingertips over it. Pre cum slicks his fingers and he shamefully imagines it as your slick. Salty and sticky he imagines how you would feel wrapped around his ruddy tip. Would you suck him in as he slowly slipped inside? How would you sound squealing out his name as he finally bottoms out? What would you say if he asked for a taste? Would you say yes or shy away from him and his tongue?
“I’m not a disappointment.”
His ears perk up at your low words. The words he spat in your face hours earlier. Some simple mistake during a mission made him snap on you and your team. Something stupid he was going to apologize for if Madison hadn't stolen him away mere seconds later.
“T-troy~ hng, mmm.”
He fumbles with his belt. Yanking himself free from his zipper he doesn't let his cock a break as he doubles his efforts. He doesn't care if you catch him anymore. He thinks you wouldn't mind it either. Not after tonight. Not after hearing you beg for him. Maybe he should stick his leaking cock back into his briefs and knock on your door. Catch you all disoriented with a painful-looking tent. See if you’ll offer to help him. Let him just a moment to feel how warm you are. God, I bet they’d feel amazing.
You're humping the mattress now. So close. He can tell by the way your right leg angles itself. The tremors in the hand pumping lewdly in your pillowy cunt give you away further. Only when the tremors start do your squawks turn into grunts. When those grunts start he knows he only has a few minutes before you're pooling into your palm. Messily pumping his cock he squeezes around the base with one palm and roughly massages his balls with the other. He cums in tandem with you and he feels absolutely euphoric. Like he could float right through the window and land curled up beside your heaving body.

hi hi! Just wanted to askz what's your opinion on Paris of Troy? How do You feel about that silly fella?
Oh hohoho... Paris of troy... how can I start? First of all I have to say, in the Iliad he is a coward, yes. I don't deny that. How he keeps Helen to himself even tho his people are telling him to give her back to the greeks? How he dumped Oenone for a married woman he never met? How he started a war that killed thousands of innocent people and caused the fall of his city? I could go on forever on why someone could dislike him... BUT I love Paris. Being more specific, I love the pre-judgement Paris. The one that got the title of Alexandros for his bravery. The one that despite his family leaving him to die, he managed to survive. That boy that was considered a fair judge because he gave Ares the prize he promised for defeating his prized bull. Paris was fair, just, brave... all that changed because of a single day, a single decision (And imagine just how scary it is to choose between 3 goddess who WILL try to destroy you if you don't choose them, there is literally no good choice, and at the end of the day it didn't really mattered which one he gave the apple to, he was destined to cause the doom of Troy and that's exactly what he did) Is that enough reasons to love him? maybe not, but I feel emotionally attached to him, poor guy was hated by his whole family since birth. He is such a complex character but ends up just being know as "slutty and weak brother of Hector" In short I like Paris a lot, but since I am more of a Menelaus fan I also laughed seeing Paris being beaten in book 3 XD he is so incapable of fighting it is actually funny

the aeneid as a post-apocalyptic poem, yes sure, the fall of troy is the end of a world, but what about the aeneid as a pre-apocalyptic poem???? vergil does all this ideological work setting up augustus as the telos toward which the entire arc of history bends and you can argue how he really feels about that but regardless, doesn't it mean that augustus is the end? that there is nothing beyond him, nothing after him? vergil poises himself as writing at the top of the world and there's nowhere else to go from there when that moment passes
#oddly enough. it's the same feel as the prophecy in the book of daniel.#projecting into the past and prophesying up through the present only makes it all the more clear how impossible it is to imagine the future#mine#aeneidblogging#i think hinds thinks every generation up through augustus is like this actually#so depends on whether you read the roman poets as consciously anticipating their own supersession while they supersede their predecessors#or does each poet think he is the last? does he really want to be?#hardie talks about an 'immobilization of history which if successful would indeed make of the aeneid the final epic'#but of course the immobilization of history is inherently a futile effort; augustus remains mortal#reading
