Irvine and Quistis went dancing together <3 <3
Thank you so much for drawing this rarepair extraordinaire, Zomziekitten on Twitter. They look SO cute together.
I totally blame Calytrixie for making me fall in love with this ship. She gave me some links to good Quistis/Irvine fics to read on Ao3 and I was SOLD <3

🌟PINNED!🌟
Welcome to my Sonic account! I’m the guy behind that prosthetic ‘dilf Sonic’ au you might have seen!
Follows from @mireios 💫
Ponyboy or Poni for short!
16+ account, sfw but will contain adult themes sometimes. I draw kissing and stuff like that. I have a 20+ alt account that I only share with trusted, older mutuals.
Just as my username implies, I usually work with aged up characters in my aus, for a variety of reasons, but mostly just because I like it better that way. If this bothers you unduly, feel free not to interact!
Multishipper! Sonadow is main, but if it’s a rivalry/enemies and it’s gay I probably ship it. Rarepair extraordinaire— I can make anything make sense.
Please do not come to me for discourse! I’m not going to argue, I’m just going to ignore you if you’re looking to stir up drama.
🌟AUs🌟
Heroes & Cons
Set in the future, this canon-adjacent AU primarily features Sonic/Shadow/Metal Sonic as the main interests. Sonic is 31 in current events, and he’s been bestowed with one of Metal’s arms, given freely, after a battle that took his right arm. Heroes & Cons follows closely the theme of overcoming, legacy, and immortality. This is basically a “If children and marriage aren’t in Sonic and Shadow’s future, what kind of future could they build in a world that needs them?” scenario. Also features: open relationships/multiple partners, exploration of humanity in robots, a redefining of what a family can be, and what kind of complicated situationship Sonic and Shadow have going on in particular. Sonadow, Sonmetal, Metadow, and all three together are mainly explored here.
Use the the tag #heroes and cons to find all art/informational posts related to this au.
Service Animal AU
In an alternate world where Maria lived, G.U.N. never raided the ARK, Shadow the hedgehog has been raised as a lifelong service companion to Maria. His chaos abilities are amplified for healing rather than destruction, and his unwavering devotion toward her wellbeing in the search for a cure for her illness means Shadow hasn’t given thought to living for himself. When he meets a strange Mobian named Sonic, his uncomfortable reality is shined upon, and he realizes what Maria’s been hoping for him to discover all along; he needs to figure out what his own path will be. This au is Sonadow and heavily explores a more complex and deeply powerful bond that exists between Shadow and Maria as ‘service animal’ and ‘charge’ as well as best friends.

Aww isn’t it cute, Laios enjoys watching her sleep à la Edward Cullen /s My favorite well intentioned freak with a streak of unintentionally being creepy
Some silly laimar doodles bc they’re my favorite popular rarepair. Shocked and appalled that the main girl x main guy urge to ship that people get skipped on these two out of all mangas… They have sooo many crumbs like just in the page I used as reference Marcille was ruffling his hair (his head, of course, resting on her laps like it’s the most natural thing) and she helps him undress from his armor like she knows how to do it soo well. Urghhh they make me bark, they’re so sickly sweet domestic. And like listen I am a rareshipper extraordinaire I have my crumbs goggles ON at ALL times, you can believe me when I say they have gigantuous amounts of crumbs. It’s the sort of “this series will make no couple canon but here is your narratively fated couple of character foils with 8 tons of deeply personal romantic subtext”. The dungeon masters narrative parallelism… Her nightmare, his succubus, the “her smiles keep me going”, the “mourning the same person together bc no one else gets the pain and the despair”, the life or death devotion, the way she’s so touchy n he has no concept of boundaries, the way she always instinctively goes to him first, the way he’s the one to talk her out of being the dungeon lord… People just don’t want to see girlboss malewife winning, loverboy x hatergirl best dynamic I rest my case. I just want them to be appreciated more
Not the way Chilchuck isn’t. In a perfect laimar world I feel like he’d see the signs coming and be like… Oh no, dear god no, please no
#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi fanart#laimar#marios#laios touden#marcille donato#chilchuck tims#also the magic lessons are pretty cute and lots could be done with them#I’M SCREAMING WHY DO THEY HAVE SO LITTLE FICS#sketch dump#fuumiku art

Kira's Sim Yu-Niverse: Duelist Kingdom
Previous: Kaibas and Ishtars
Happy Sim Saturday, cornflakes! :D
This week, I'm posting some of my side Sims. I won't be playing them as often as the others (not yet, in one case), but I'll check on them every so often, and I still have plans for some of their lives, 👀!
Weevil's aspiration is The Curator, and his traits are Geek, Mean, Cunning (by Maplebell) and Competitive.
Rex's aspiration is also The Curator (but mainly focusing on fossils), and his traits are Outgoing, Arrogant, Oblivious and Competitive (last three by Kuttoe).
I need to work on some post-canon designs for these two, 🤔.
Mai's aspiration is Friend of the World, and her traits are Outgoing, Genius, Slow to Warm Up (by Chingyu) and Ambitious.
If this was TS2, I feel like she'd be a Popularity/Fortune Sim, relying on her Fortune wants to stay out of aspiration failure (😢) - at least until she meets the Nerd Herd.
Mako's aspiration is (what else?) Angling Ace, and his traits are Loves Outdoors, Good, Hot-Headed and Outgoing.
I couldn't find anything like his S2 outfit, so I went through his tag for inspiration, and this picture in particular stuck in my head while I was picking out his clothes. I love the HC of him having tattoos too (credit for that one goes to @candied-pear!), so when I remembered that EA one existed, I had to give it to him!
Pegasus's's's' aspiration is Painter Extraordinaire, and his traits are Creative, Childish, Romantic and Cunning.
(I am legally required to do that with his name. Blame the scripted Duels, 🤣)
I'll be taking a break from posting my Sims for a few weeks so I can work on my Rarepair Week stuffs. After that? We'll see. 🤔

i consider myself a hardcore rarepairer. a crackship extraordinaire if you will. Im here to say that my FAVORITE rarepair of all time is probably g1 megatron/skywarp. i dont know what it is for me but i just feel like they have the potential for a healthy (as healthy as decepticons get) relationship. and i think they would have some cute interactions and skywarp could get him to loosen up a bit and AUGH. and skywarp would just think meg is SO cool. plus they just look cute together.
anyways have a doodle :3
RAAAA I LITERALLY LOVE MEGAWARP AHHHH!
They’re so cute and have so many little moments in the show hagebsysceecywdg
Skywarp is the admiring himbo and megs is his raggedy leader wife and I love it😭
And thank you for the art it’s beautiful!!!

NSFW Alphabet - Jaheira x Rasaad
This is a follow-up to my previous completion of this meme with Hector and Karlach. :D
Original meme: NSFW Alphabet
@astreamofstars expressed interest in a version of it for my rarepair extraordinaire, Jaheira and Rasaad, so here it is. :D This is primarily a lot of headcanon and ideas from our DM discussions, and also based on my only E-rated writing of them up to this point, which was this ask meme response from a few months ago.
I originally received this as a tag meme, so please consider yourself tagged if you see this and would like to do this meme for your own pairings! And feel free to tag me to read your responses. :)
18+ NSFW content under the cut. :D
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
The overall throughline theme in all these answers, you'll find, is that one of the things Jaheira and Rasaad have in common is that they're both overtly placid and reserved people who have a core of real animal ferocity in them. And their lovemaking reflects this, being a very intense and primal release compared to their day-to-day behavior.
Given this, their aftercare is tremendously soft and gentle. Rasaad in particular (paralleling his more day-to-day struggles between his principles and darker instincts) can have a significant "drop" if he's been particularly rough, and so they focus a lot on close contact, soothing touches, reassurance, and connection in the aftermath.
B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Jaheira finds Rasaad's eyes extremely striking and expressive, and she likes his hands which are simultaneously dextrous and very strong depending on the moment. (Her dialogue in BG3 also makes it clear she's a fan of a good butt, and Rasaad does not fail in this regard either. ;) )
Rasaad's opinion... to quote Wash from Firefly: "I definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down! Her legs, and right where her legs meet her back. That - actually that whole area. That and - and above it." He's kind of a fan of the whole package and how it all moves together. He's often fascinated by watching her come out of wildshape and the way her whole body moves through that process.
C = Cum (Where does your muse prefer to cum/have someone cum?)
There are definitely a few parallels between my answers for Hector and Rasaad, and this is one of them; once again, the whole thing is very much about all of his normal restraint and discipline being ripped away and being reduced to instinct, which usually means coming inside her, which Jaheira has no objection to because she enjoys that ferocity and loss of control in him (and herself).
This is how Rion ends up accidentally happening, because they get lax about follow-up measures later in life, thinking that they're beyond the point where anything will come of it. :P
D = Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory: a dirty secret of theirs)
To be honest, I think the two of them are pretty open with each other. It's really a hallmark of their relationship, over time, that given how emotionally buttoned-up and restrained they both are in other circumstances, with each other they find a safe place to be open without judgment.
There are times, particularly early in their relationship, where Jaheira's thoughts randomly flick to Khalid during intimate moments with Rasaad and it gets her emotions very jumbled and complicated. So I think that's probably something she struggles to reconcile at times although it gets easier as their relationship goes on.
Rasaad starts out being embarrassed or cautious about his "baser urges" and more primal, rough inclinations, and it takes a while for them to realize they're more on the same page about this than either expected. XD
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Jaheira is decidedly more experienced than Rasaad. Her upbringing as a druid was pretty matter-of-fact about sex and casual hookups for fun were a standard fact of life in her young adulthood. After getting together with Khalid, she lost her taste for casual sex, but had plenty of experience with him. So by the time she is with Rasaad she is a seasoned professional.
Rasaad, meanwhile, has basically no idea what he's doing. (His romance in BG2 has lines from the PC indicating his kissing technique is enthusiastic but unrefined and "sloppy". XD ) He operates quite a lot on instinct but responds well to Jaheira's guidance where necessary.
(If I had a nickel for every ship I've written recently about an emotionally repressed, sexually inexperienced monk falling in love with a more experienced woman with a history of terrible loss and trauma, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, and almost certainly says nothing about me personally. XD )
F = Favorite position (This goes without saying)
They tend to mix it up a lot, I think.
The one I picture them settling on most, though, is something that I can't find an official name for other than the incredibly unromantic term "prone bone". 😅 Jaheira on her stomach, Rasaad lying on top of her, pinning her down, arms around her. Sometimes a hand on her throat but without any pressure. (Fundamentally something like doggy style but more intimate.)
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)
Neither of them are particularly goofy people; I think the act itself is almost always very intense and focused and passionate. In the endorphin release afterwards, though, as they both start to relax, there will be moments of humor (more from Jaheira, though; Rasaad never quite gets the hang of jokes :P ).
H = Hair (How well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Gonna go ahead and headcanon, for no particular reason, that while Jaheira's head hair got much lighter from BG1 to BG2/3, some of her body hair maintained the dark auburn-brown color that she had in BG1, which makes for an interesting level of contrast that Rasaad finds quite appealing.
Rasaad, of course, shaves his head scrupulously, but his body hair matches his eyebrows (and eyes) and is very dark black. He has very thick chest hair and a dramatic treasure trail, leading to Jaheira occasionally joking that it's where he's hiding all the stuff that is supposed to be on his head.
(Mildly related - there's no official art that shows Khalid without a helmet but I headcanon him as having a head of very thick hair, and I think Jaheira was used to running her hands through it and gripping on during sex; it takes her a little while with Rasaad to get used to there being nothing to hang onto there. :P )
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment? The romantic aspect)
Both of them would say that their moments together are intensely romantic. Any onlooker not inside their heads would say it seems very intense, passionate, rough, almost violent at times, and might have trouble identifying the romance in it.
This is because a lot of their (intimate) romance is rooted in the fact that with each other they are casting off all the restraint that marks their day-to-day, giving in to the animal nature that sits underneath their placidity. They are safe with each other, and free.
(As noted above, the aftercare is a lot softer and more overtly romantic. A lot of gentle touches and cuddling and talking about anything and everything.)
J = Jack off (Masturbation headcanon)
Jaheira's Harper responsibilities (especially after they return to Baldur's Gate for the long term) require her to occasionally travel separate from Rasaad for brief periods of time. The two of them are both much better at steamy love letters than they are at spur-of-the-moment dirty talk, and the correspondence exchanged between them during these periods is extremely spicy. Both of them use it for significant "inspiration" during these periods of separation, although both also consider it a poor substitute for the real thing. XD
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
As represented in the aforementioned ask meme fill, there is a distinct aspect of power play in their lovemaking, but in several different contrasting ways. It's a bit of a challenge to figure out how to describe this, but I see it as being Jaheira being emotionally dominant and Rasaad being physically dominant.
The overall flow of the encounter is entirely under Jaheira's control; she holds him back, restrains him, teases him, works both of them up to a breaking point. And then she lets the moment snap and he takes control and it all becomes very physical and fast and rough.
This originated out of Rasaad's initial lack of experience - he would try to get down to business more or less right away and Jaheira had to teach him the value of a good build-up. XD
I think they also involve pain in very mild ways in the process. Marking each other with bites or scratches, mostly. Rasaad might pull her hair or cover her mouth or (as mentioned above) put a hand on her throat or neck without pressure.
L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)
Jaheira very much prefers being out in nature for most things and this is no exception. Her favorite of their trysts have been when they're on the road together with no one around in any direction and can be out in the open (ideally under the moonlight, which Rasaad enjoys). It's not really about the thrill of being "in public" so much as being out in the world, away from civilization, focused only on each other.
Once they find an abandoned and rather overgrown Selunite shrine and make love there and both of them have really confused feelings about it and decide not to do it again, but the sex is fantastic. XD
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going?)
Both of them respond very favorably to each other's power in battle or anything in their adventures that causes an adrenaline rush. Light, teasing touches are a good bet, as is the hint of teeth or biting within a kiss. Anything involving one gently restraining the other. ("Like cats," Jaheira comments once. "Hold us in place and at once we will hiss and scratch, all our fur standing on end.")
When Rasaad starts teaching Jaheira martial arts, the lessons regularly get cut off early. XD He also gives her very skillful massages (as he does for the PC in his BG2 romance line), and these can often lead to things getting more hot and heavy.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Jaheira has told Rasaad about some druids who make use of wildshaping during sex (a la that Halsin sex scene). Both of them are pretty firmly in the "no thank you" camp on that, though. (However, Jaheira will sometimes wolf or panther up during snuggle times. XD )
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
I see both of them as being more inclined to use their hands than their mouths.
Early in their relationship, Rasaad is not particularly skilled at it; he gets better over time with Jaheira's guidance, but much prefers using his mouth on the rest of her body while touching or fucking her.
Jaheira, once again, is much more practiced in this regard. Too practiced, really; Rasaad sometimes tends to get a little too excited too quick when she uses her mouth. XD (And who can blame him?)
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Sensual in the leadup, very fast and rough in the act, sensual in the aftermath. Jaheira sometimes describes their foreplay as the fuse before an explosion.
There are exceptions to this, of course; sometimes they'll have softer, sweeter nights together, particularly if they've had a tiring or very emotional day. On these nights, they'll often spoon up on their sides together so he can hold her close. This becomes a lot more common during the very end of their relationship and especially when they do have sex while Jaheira is pregnant with Rion.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Given Jaheira's history with casual sex, I think she's more comfortable with the concept of a quickie than Rasaad is. Overall, though, they tend to focus on scenarios where they can take their time, given how much they like to focus on the buildup and giving in to the feelings.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment? Do they take risks? etc.)
I think they experiment with a lot of different positions. Both of them are supremely fit and flexible which leads to a lot of room for creativity. It's not really particularly planned out in advance, though, so much as moving in the flow of the moment and finding things that feel good.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for? How long do they last?)
As with Hector, Rasaad's stamina is very well-honed as a result of his life of monk training. He can last for quite a long time as long as he remains focused. (That said - Jaheira is very good at making him LOSE focus, and his discipline has a tendency to slip when she's involved.)
Fundamentally, though, as referenced elsewhere in these questions - the actual act itself is fairly quick and explosive. Their stamina is less relevant than their patience - which Rasaad, in moments of high emotion, distinctly lacks in comparison to Jaheira, which means that she can get him very worked up before she's ready to let him have his way with her.
T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Maybe not toys specifically, but Jaheira's magic definitely comes into play sometimes. Druid spells with potentially interesting uses include: Entangle (restraints), Gust (puffs of air on sensitive spots), Druidcraft ("tiny sensory effects"), Thorn Whip (maybe), Hold Person (restraints again), Water Breathing (underwater shenanigans), and Giant Insect (just kidding).
U = Unfair (How much they like to tease)
As referenced in a number of these answers, it is all about the teasing - mostly from Jaheira to Rasaad, both of them deeply enjoying the slow straining of their mutual self-control until it cracks. Occasionally the roles are reversed and it's Rasaad doing the teasing, but this is a lot less common and requires him to be in a very particular mood for it.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Both of them are very vocal, a lot of crying out/moaning/etc. Jaheira has a tendency to start out trying to say things - terms of endearment, encouragement, expressions of desire - and then have the language start dissolving into inarticulate sounds as things get more intense. Rasaad growls/roars as he starts getting worked up and takes control - though at the moment of climax he gets abruptly very quiet and focused.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Given that they are both very vocal, Jaheira sometimes keeps a supply of scrolls of Silence on hand, which they have used during sex. They find that this helps keep them from being heard, but also completely mutes any sound between them as well; this wasn't really the intended effect but it adds an odd frisson that they both find they kind of like - the same sort of sensory deprivation as a blindfold but while still being able to look in each other's eyes.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Rasaad is very stocky, squared off, and muscular. He and Jaheira are almost exactly the same height - he's actually a hair or two shorter. His skin bears a lot of old scars, most of which go back to his life on the street prior to the monastery. The tattoo on his face reaches down his neck and all the way over one shoulder. He's well-endowed, but more in girth than length.
Jaheira is more slender and gives the appearance of being taller than she is. She's also deceptively strong relative to how muscular she looks. Even as a young woman, her skin has a somewhat weathered aspect to it from a life spent almost exclusively out in nature/adventuring; she's not quite as scarred but does have a few major ones, including the one on her face which came from being attacked by a bird of prey as a young druid. Her breasts are relatively small but a good solid handful. XD
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Average? Jaheira's is generally higher than Rasaad's, as he spent most of his life pretty closed off from the concept and isn't in the habit of thinking about it, whereas it was a more natural part of life for all of her adulthood. Neither of them tend to say no very often when the other wants to get them going, though. XD
Jaheira's decreases significantly when she becomes pregnant with Rion, as she grows very uncomfortable in her own body, which adds to the emotionally complex nature of the whole experience for her and frustrates her deeply. Rasaad tries to make up for it with a lot of snuggling and massages though.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
As (again) mentioned above, the aftercare come-down is pretty significant for them so I think there's usually a lot of time spent afterwards in cuddling/touching/talking before falling asleep. It's a meditative, connecting period for both of them and they both value it too much to rush through it.
(The exception here is if they're both completely worn out from other stuff, in which case the sex itself is usually slower and gentler and they might have the habit of dropping off pretty fast, or even without disentangling from each other. XD )
#nsft#jaheira#rasaad#jaheira x rasaad#astreamofstars#i really thought i was gonna have time for more writing this week but that has not been the case XD#but i did have little bits of time so pieced this together instead :D#definitely got a kick out of writing this - some interesting ideas to further flesh out in the future i think :D#hope you enjoy!

2022 AO3 Stats Breakdown
(evidence of a mental breakdown as well??? who’s to say lol)
Total Wordcount (approximate*): 265,182 across 37 fics in 3 fandoms
Most popular (by hits): The Sculptor (9,391)
Most popular (by kudos): Professor Lan, Babysitter Extraordinaire (1,244)
Least popular (by hits): Life Is Short, Do Art (186 - this is also probably my actual least popular by kudos at 41, Far From an Imposition is so new it’s not surprising it’s still at the bottom)
Least popular (by kudos): Far From An Imposition (30)
Highest word count: Soldier, Poet, King (78,690 words and still going)
Lowest word count: Lan Xichen’s Romance Novel Brainrot (1,141 words)
*For all of these figures I won’t be including ‘Plans To Make’ or ‘You Are Of Their Ilk’, as they’re both from 2021 originally and they skew the numbers a lot since I’ve added chapters to them in 2022. But I’m too lazy to figure out how many words I dumped into both of them, and there’s no telling when all the kudos and hits and stuff are from, so I won’t bother, all of these fics were completely posted in 2022 (though some new ones are now going to bleed into 2023).
Fic Breakdown
NON-CQL/MDZS - 3 fics in total:
A Flower Most Rare and Don’t Let Him Go Alone (both Wenzhou, for Word of Honor) together make up 7,875 words of my total count.
Home Was a Dream for Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty is 1,413 words of the total.
CQL/MDZS - 34 fics in total:
3Zun (and the various twosomes within it) account for 14 / 34 fics, 140,501 words, over half the total wordcount by 7,910 words (~53% of the total).
They are, in descending order of hits:
Soldier, Poet, King (3zun)
Sworn Protections (Nieyao)
The Last Piece of a Really Shitty Puzzle (3zun but Nieyao don’t like each other)
War Manners (Nieyao)
Pull No Punches (3zun)
Awkward and Uptight (3zun but focus is on Nieyao reconciling)
Looking For My Family (3zun)
Jaegers Are Not Meant For That (3zun)
Hope Is Home and the Heart Is Free (3zun)
Sticky Summer Kisses (Nielan)
Honey-Sweet and Heavy (3zun)
Starlight Within Will Guide (3zun at the end, mostly LXC-centric)
Restraint (Xiyao)
Far From An Imposition (Nieyao)
Wangxian fics account for 8 / 34 fics, 51,763 words, which is just shy of 20% of the total wordcount (roughly 19.5%, so not quite a fifth).
They are, in descending order of hits:
The Sculptor (Modern AU - 1970′s)
Professor Lan, Babysitter Extraordinaire (Modern AU)
Together, Or Not At All (Post-canon)
Hot House Husband Speedrun (Modern AU)
Yiling Laozu’s Moving Castle (Howl’s Moving Castle AU)
Feel You Feeling Me Feeling You Etc. Etc. (Post-canon)
Down the Gutter Here I Go (13 year gap)
Other Delights (Modern AU - late 1990′s or early 2000′s)
I had a surprising number of fics featuring various ships with Jiang Cheng in them, they account for 7 / 34 fics, 25,936 words, just shy of 10% (9.7%) of the total wordcount.
They are, in descending order of hits:
Lan Xichen’s Romance Novel Brainrot (Xicheng from LXC’s POV)
Thank You, and I’m Sorry (SangCheng from both POV’s, though the focus is Nie brother bonding/reconciliation after an argument and SangCheng have already been married for quite some time)
Indigo (ChengQing from both POV’s, but mostly WQ)
How Vicious You Are (ChengYao - lovers to enemies trope so it’s in the past)
Grannies Are To Be Feared (ChengQing from JC’s POV)
‘In-Law’ is a Two-Word Horror Story (SangCheng from both POV’s)
Research Is a Love Language (SangCheng from both POV’s but mostly JC’s)
There are a few fics that I wrote this year that aren’t very shippy at all, are a rarepair, or focus on the ensemble and various ships equally so they’re a bit harder to classify. Together they all account for the last 5 / 34 fics, 37,694 words, roughly 14% of the total wordcount.
They are, in descending order of hits:
Tales From Jianghu Shopping Center (Ensemble - Wangxian, Sangcheng, and Nielan are all hinted at but not established within the fic)
Technically a Cutsleeve? (Mo Xuanyu/Lan Jingyi set in my fix-it universe, specifically)
Objective Complete - Now What? (Ensemble - Wangxian, 3zun, and Chengqing are all present, as well as Lan Jingyi’s and Jin Guangshan’s POV’s)
Why Not Me? (Lan Qiren raising a young Lan Jingyi during the 13-year gap, so it focuses on family dynamics)
Life Is Short, Do Art (Lan Xichen-centric, very brief character study)
With all that said - what did I actually write?
Unconnected oneshots: 23*
Connected Oneshots: 9**
Chaptered fics: 5
* - ‘Looking For My Family’ is technically a standalone oneshot, but could very easily fit into the universe of my Modern 3zun Sunshot AU ‘All Dreams Were Worth Keeping’ as my characterizations/headcanons for how their relationship and family dynamics work doesn’t really differ from one to the other.
** - ‘Tales from Jianghu Shopping Center’ is technically a connected oneshot because it’s a oneshot that is the central work of my strip mall universe, but that makes it feel more like a chaptered fic to me because it’s the main work that all the rest of the shopping mall extras spoke out from like any of my other universes of extras born from my chaptered fics.
So -- big year for one-shots! I did a few different writing challenges/events this year, which was a lot of fun and something I’ve never done before. 18 / 23 of the unconnected one-shots were written for MXTX Reverse Trope Fest (10), Polyshipping Week 2022 (5), Fandom Trumps Hate (2), and the MDZS Mixtape Exchange (1). I think that might be why I feel like I didn’t write nearly as much as I did -- I did fairly quick little bite-sized fics for my own sake (except for where there were minimum wordcounts set for FTH) and they really add up all together but they didn’t feel like much as I was writing them, especially since most of what I did last year in comparison was so focused on my 3zun fix-it universe and the Modern Sunshot AU, both of which are nearly 200k word universes apiece.
This year I had really wanted to finish both Plans To Make and You Are Of Their Ilk, so I’m a bit sad that I didn’t manage to get them done before the end of the year. Both because they’re stories I definitely want to tell, but also because they’re my two most popular fics and I feel bad that they just also happen to be the two ongoing wips that I have that I update the least frequently lol. People are always so nice in the comments and stuff though and say that they’ll subscribe and wait patiently for whenever the inspiration hits me, which is lovely and reassuring. But still - over a thousand people are subscribed to both of them. The pressure is on 😂
Last, but not least:
What did I enjoy writing the most this year?
It’s a tie between two of them!
I really really loved the process of speed-writing The Sculptor in a hazy, frantic three days of pure inspiration, and then posting it daily over the course of a week and a half. I loved having something already completely finished to post on such a quick, dedicated schedul. Everyone was also super lovely in the comments both during and after posting, I got so much good community connection with people for whom the story really resonated, especially Queer people, which I absolutely adored. Particularly people who were thrilled to see representation for both lavender marriages and closeted lesbians in heterosexual marriages, which we tend to think of as outdated these days but there are absolutely still so many people in both types of relationships, whether by their own choice or for their own safety or what have you. So that one felt really special, plus I’m still just as in love with Ceru’s artwork that sparked the whole thing as I was when I started writing the fic. (Everyone say thank you @ceru-draws for the STUNNING artwork that inspired the fic, go reblog it and love on it if you haven’t already. Actually go love on all of their art, it’s all wonderful and they deserve it.)
And finally -- Tales From Jianghu Shopping Center, my beloved. It’s such a low-stakes, easygoing kind of universe to write that it genuinely relaxes me, and it makes me really happy when I get a new idea for an extra or something to add to it. I love using it as an excuse to wax poetic and romanticize about the mundane American nearly-rural suburbia I grew up with in the Deep South, and it’s been really fun to see how many other people resonate with it despite it being weirdly niche. It’s also been a fun exercise in building believable atmosphere/settings, since that’s mostly the goal and the (very minimal) plotline is very much secondary to the Vibes. I love me some Vibes (now everyone say thank you @lansplaining for the god-tier post that inspired that whole universe)
Thank you everybody for a really fun year of writing fic, here’s to even more in 2023 (I hope) ♥♥
#the untamed fanfic#2022 wrapup#no one asked for this but I wanted to do it anyway#I lowkey needed to prove to myself that I did actually do a lot this year and I shouldn't beat myself up for the projects I didn't finish#I really love the AO3 statistics page and like I said I browse mine for fun at least once or twice a week lol#I'm also a big fan of checking bookmarks on my fics to see if anyone left me any little fun notes in the tags#I just.

i dislike pointing out good stuff about the show but show!jaime being a robb stan because boi defeated him one (1) time and him never forgetting it and reminding everyone about it and using the strategy in other battles is such an underrated character quirk
i mean i choose to believe that was someone who’s not dnd being consistent with it BUT anon you’re right and you should say it and it absolutely was one of the few good things abt show jaime that i’ll never say no to also bc admittedly at the end he was more of a robb stan than his whole family which… lmao
#ask post#anonymous#ch: jaime lannister#jaime being a robb fanboy extraordinaire is my jam honestly#sigh my underrated rarepair#lmao god if there is ONE stark to ship jaime with out of that generation#its so robb#and yet we were deprived

okay so i originally voted not rarepair on twitter bc i was thinking "it's canon" but then i googled definitions and every single one says "few people ship, rarely any content" but nowhere does it specify that it can't be canon. which means pruejack do check that box, so yeah.... now i actually think they're a rarepair.
a convert!! your vote has been counted
#at this point it's looking securely like pruejack is a rarepair#so the bar for the rarepair extraordinaire is it can be canon but it cannot be popular#so pipermark is not a rarepair bc everybody ships them but piperjeremy is#charmed#💌

those are too many wips.
here’s a list with brief summaries, and then you can tell me what to finish first because i am suffering from big time choice paralysis. anon is on. ask away.
ace Obi-Wan vague idea: what it says on the tin. it was going to involve teen Obi-Wan, friendship with Quinlan and Luminara. in which Obi-Wan is interested in sex... in theory. academically. he’s his suave, charming self, and will experiment for the hell of it. (i was slightly uncomfortable with the premise of, basically, a fic about an asexual character all about... well, sex. but i wanted to work some shit out and what better way than overprojecting over fictional characters?)
Anakin in lingerie: just polishing up an old tumblr post. modern AU.
Anakin in makeup obianidala: again from an old post with subskywalker. but i wanted to give it a structure
Ani5dala FIX IT: OH MAN I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. i have tons of notes and no energy to proceed. in which Fox has a plan to keep Fives alive, Fives has a plan to keep the Republic alive - but Anakin is being a butt and Fives needs Pamé’s help. (probably Anakin and Fives were together before? + anidala open relationship, i was thinking, but idk yet)
AWOL Cody: oh boy, i started plotting this for my pod-together 2018 project with litra. in which Obi-Wan is declared KIA, but there is NO BODY and also suspicious footage/Ahsoka saw something and Cody is NOT having it so he goes on a solo mission to save him. codywan.
Darkness is but a passing thing: same as above, it was supposed to be written in 2018, good grief. post rots, sort of time-travellish, i’m not saying more bc most of the plot was litra’s and idk if she wants to share.
Detonate: translation into english of my italian obikin smut, which i promised ages ago.
enemies to colleagues to lovers codywan: this, but with a proper outline this is now being Properly Plotted. there are mindmaps. and a Scrivener file.
Jedi OC: from a prompt from last year’s rarepair exchange: Male Jedi Who Accidentally Keeps Causing Property Damage/Male Owner of Said Property (words written: 0, but the idea was funny)
Laurea traduzione: eng translation of my italian modern au obikin
Leia using the Force: a messy messy file with more than one idea in, actually. i wasn’t sure wether to go with child or teen Leia (post Princess of Alderaan plot) but then i got distracted with making Leia and Kaeden meet. Ahsoka/Kaeden.
million: from a fic exchange request in which someone said they’d read “a million words” of Bly and Aayla being disgustingly in love. just that. with a side of codywan (the irony of Bly being all like “ugh, THOSE TWO” fuelled the first few hundred words).
obianidala with nb Anakin: wait, isn’t this kinda related to the Anakin in makeup one? my plotbunnies are a mess. maybe from this or this post.
ObiBail Empire Era AND OR others: frankly. a disaster mess probably inspired by the beginning of Til the casket drops and Wild Space.
ObiBail obianidala Breha super poly dinner: this post, but in fic form
ObiBailRex: this one is funny. i found the first few sentences handwritten in a notebook and i have no memory of where i wanted to go from there, but damn, i liked those. Obi-Wan forces Cody to take some leave, and Cody forces Rex to play babysitter to his General and his Senator friend. shenanigans ensue.
storms: ahahah, another fic pending since..... uuuh...... the clone wars exchange from, again, 2018? (how much shit did i sign up for that summer? i was in the midst of moving!! why am i like this). sorry perspicacia, if you’re even still around. preparing for that fic was how i got in to obi/rex tho? and it still doesn’t have a plot.
unhinged Obi-Wan vs Grievous: this, but with a plot. if i can find the plot. why is plotting so hard? no plotting, only cool scenes. (sith/fallen!obi getting the 212th to follow him and go rogue?? maybe?) see “enemies to colleagues to lovers” above
when the numbers get to zero: a Rex/Padmé i love a lot but that, as usual with ALL my damn fic, has no structure. inspired by the blue shadow virus eps. (i posted a snippet ages ago - oh wait, here’s another one)
now onto the folders!
keep verse
untitled about other Clones finding out, and the consequences. “It’s Bly who finds out first through the GAR grapevine. Cody was supposed to be dead - and suddenly he wasn’t.”
Pilots (ot era)
Oblivious Pilots - The entire Rogue Squadron is made of oblivious disasters. They share one braincell, and Nawara is the only one who’s actually using it.
Dark Imperial AU - Luke is raised by Vader. but when he meets Wedge and Tycho...
Skystrike Academy AU - Luke is raised by Owen, Beru... and Obi-Wan. And he signs up to train as TIE pilot as part of a Resistance plan
WedgeTycho - the tiniest spark of an idea. Alderanian philosophy, Tycho being pretentious, sad, grieving, and in need of a hug.
SitS - A Light from the Shadows
SitS stands for “the Sith in the Senate”, the working title for this epic I’ve been plotting since 2018 that might never see the light because I went “I want a well-adjusted, non traumatised Obi-Wan!”, build a whole new canon around that ......and then got bored of it, obviously, since I love to see Obes suffer. but there were tons of things I liked and maybe I should rework it somehow? (it was supposed to be obikin. then obianidala. then i think i got distracted and got Cody to flirt with Obi-Wan. who knows at this point. what if I throw in Jango)
soft now verse
parts 2.1 and 2.2 are there and almost ready and filled with clones feels (yes, this was a fix it obianidala fluff, but CLONES)
Space Dads Extraordinaire
Hope in Unexpected Places pt 2 and maybe 3 or maybe that’s a separate story? I have feelings about smol Boba interacting with Obi-Wan and learning to trust him, but don’t know how to handle them. There should also be the bit where they find Jango’s pet strill, which I promised to Lulu like a year ago.
the life and opinions
this is a cursed title, i started a fic with a similar title in another fandom almost 15 years ago and never finished it. it was supposed to be a biography of Rex and his rise through the ranks and into an AU where the vode have their own governing body. a shitton of Rex and Cody brotherly feels but maybe also ship? why can’t i pick a dynamic
Thrawn
browser history - Thranto moments told through Eli’s holonet searches
your silence is my favourite word - Emperor Eli angsty smut
new rules - Emperor Eli AU, but make it reasonably happy
see me like this - Emperor Eli AU, angst cranked up to the max
bb Thrawn - Thranto AU in which Thrawn is a weird child, the Chiss have some more contact with humans and Eli & Thrawn meet as kids
forgotten words - Thrawn growing up in the Empire, raised by Palpatine.
