Post apocalypse AU

Posted a paragraph or two of this when I first started writing it. I don’t know where this is going for sure, can’t decide if I like this start or not. Too much world building maybe... Anyway, let me know what you guys think-

The midday sun reflected off the ruins of the metal towers, beating down harshly on the broken streets. Swaddled in linen, her face covered, makeshift goggles protecting her eyes, she walked through the broken shadows cast by the buildings. She was sweating under her layers, but knew better than to expose her skin to the dust and dirt of the ruins of Jakku. Even thirty years after the bombs and mortars had decimated the city, the contamination levels in the blasted city center were high. Entering an exposure zone came at a risk, everyone knew that.

But with risk came rewards. There was salvage here, replacement parts for machinery that people had lost the both the knowledge and the resources to make anymore. Ripped from the ruins, bagged and then cleaned at a decontamination station back in the shanty town of Niima, the salvage could be sold to the various junk bosses, traded for food, clean water, and other necessities. In the arid wastes, scavenging the remnants of civilization was the only way for most to survive.

She secured her bag and staff, slipping into the skeleton of the tallest building and headed towards the stairwell. The first twenty or so stories of the building the stairs remained mostly intact, with only a few collapsed sections that were easy to get past by climbing along the wall. At the twenty second floor, according to the faded numbers painted on the rusting steel door, the stairs abruptly ended in a twisted snarl of metal and debris, the upper levels of the stairwell having collapsed. The piles of debris spilled across the landing, and she carefully climbed over them before leveling her shoulder against the door to force it open, the rusted hinges resisting her efforts and screaming in protest.

Stepping through she was met by a harsh wind that blew through the level. The majority of the glass walls were gone, shattered by time, or maybe even by the battle that had left the city a waste. The wind up here blew unchecked, another hazard to add to the unstable floors and the twisted metal and wire that could easily slice through her protective layers. At best a misstep might end with her exposing skin to contamination, mild exposure would leave lingering rashes and severe exposure could eat away at her skin, leaving wounds that would not heal for months. At worse she could cut herself open and have her body fully exposed to the poisons that lingered here. Such a mistake would mean severe sickness and possible death.

There was nothing left on this level that interested her. She’d scavenged cable and power modules from the server mainframes on her last visit. There was still metal that could be harvested, but pulling the copper wire was too risky, too easy to get cut. It wasn’t worth the risk.

She was a firm believer in only taking risks that yielded worthy rewards. Carefully extracting a steel rod from the debris, she made her way to the elevator shaft, using the rod to pry the doors open. Avoiding looking down at the empty shaft below, she shimmied along a tiny, one inch ridge to the side wall. Carefully choosing her foot and hand holds, she began to climb, her eyes fixed on the rays of light coming from the very top of the shaft, where she should be able to get access to the roof.

After an eternity she reached the top, crawling carefully out the corroded door frame into the sunlight. The wind blew even harder up here, and between it and the exertion of the climb it seemed hard to catch her breath. For a moment she just stood, turning, taking in the view at this height. She could see clearly in all directions, the crumbling ruins of the city-- the tall buildings of the center growing smaller and smaller as they moved from the center, until the ruins faded into the sands. A dry river bed cut through the city, a coarse scar that slashed through the ruins at an angle. Once water must of run through here, flowing northeast to southwest towards Niima. From this height you could make out the indentation through the landscape where the river would have continued, though it had been filled with loose sand over time, making it nearly invisible to one on the ground. To the southwest, beyond the edge of the contamination zone, she could see the rusting silver of the decon trailer, a remnant left sometime after the final battle but before whatever powers that be had given up and left the survivors here on their own. Despite looking as derelict as everything else from the outside, the decontamination stalls within still functioned. Both the scavengers and junk bosses understood its value, marking it off limits for scavenging.

Beyond the decon trailer, the sands, dotted with the gleaming metal carcasses of fallen war machines, continued on until Niima. It was nothing more than a huddled mass of shanties and tents. From the distance it looked like a cancerous growth rising from the sand.

Even further still to the south she could just make out the gathering of buildings that made up Tuanul, the tiny cult village of Force worshippers. Odd folk, she, and most residents of Niima tried to avoid them if they could. She frowned, noting the haze and smoke around the area of the village. Something was being burned that way.

Shaking her head, she turned her attention back to the task at hand. The view from this height might be novel, but lingering for any reason in a contamination zone was a bad idea.

The roof of the tower was rusted and crumbling, the metal in some places rotted away. She tread carefully, tapping the roof hard with her staff before putting her foot down, doing her best to make sure it would hold her weight. Her movements were slow and steady, it was better to be careful than to misstep.

When she reached middle of the roof, where a large spire rose from the building, she found what she was looking for. A large junction box sat between the spire and a small metal room-- maybe a storage room, maybe a control room. Once upon a time the junction box would have served for power switching and communication relays that hooked into the spire. Used to receive communication, or maybe to send as well… she didn’t know really, and it didn’t matter. What mattered was a box like this was full of com relays and power converters, and if they were in decent condition her haul from this box might feed her for a month.

The box was still well sealed, which boded well for the condition of its contents. It took several sharp jabs with her staff, but the worn metal gave in the end, the front panel clattering against the floor as it fell. She moved it carefully out of the way, watching for sharp edges as she handled it. Once it was out of the way she crouched down, dropping her bag from the her shoulder and pulling out the seal-able plastic bags to store the parts. The bags would go with her, sealed, into a decontamination stall, making them safe to carry back to town. Salvaged electronics were far too delicate to handle the chemical decontaminates, so they would stay bagged until they were sealed in one of the airtight cleaning stations in Niima.

There were at least a dozen power converters in the junction box, and at least six com relays. She dug in deeper and found a communications module that looked like it still might be functional. It was unlikely, they were fragile components, but she a functional com module was worth a small fortune. Rather than brute force the module out, she pulled a small screwdriver from her bag and worked out the tiny screws holding it in place, prying it gently from the motherboard. After a moment’s thought, she grabbed part of the linen wrap covering her and tore a small square from it, careful to not take so much as to risk letting her skin be exposed. Gently wrapping the module in the cloth, she slipped it into its own bag.

Giving the junction box one last scan to see if there was anything else worth taking, she stored her haul into her shoulder bag, securing it over her shoulder before attaching the panel she’d knocked off back on the junction box. Glancing at the room adjacent to the junction box, she eyed the rusted hinges on the door before shaking her head.  It could contain nothing or it could be filled with consoles, but she couldn’t carry any more back, not when she would have to walk back out of the city. Plus, the haul she had now was of high enough value that it made her nervous. All you needed was someone to notice and then you became a target.

Getting to her feet, she turned, starting to walk back towards the elevator shaft. Some other time she’d come back to investigate, and if it turned out to be a bust, there were still lesser value parts she could scavenge from the junction box.  

Going down was slow. Handholds and footholds having to be found more by feel than by sight. But eventually she found herself slipping on to the twenty second floor, a relieved sigh escaping her throat as she made her way back to the stairwell. The rest of the way down would be fairly easy.

Then the long walk back and the visit to the decon trailer.

She might still have a chance to make it back to her dwelling by nightfall. Food, water, and rest were all she really wanted right now. Cleaning her haul and testing the functionality of them would wait till tomorrow.

hii, do you have any fic recs??

I love anything written by elo_elo – her writing is just so evocative and beautiful. You don't need to know the fandoms she writes based on to enjoy them, either. My particular favourites are any of her Stardew Valley fics, and Brushfire which sadly is on indefinite hold – but what has been written so far is superb. Her original characters are always so expertly drawn, she was a big inspiration for me when I first started writing the two fics I'm working on.

Anything @bettsfic writes is fantastic, but my special favourites are A Standing Engagement (The Hunger Games, Annie/Finnick AU) and Renovations (Frozen, AU Anna/Elsa/Kristoff where Anna and Elsa aren't sisters). Also, she's the one to go to if you ever need writing advice and/or guidance – she completely turned around the original novel I'm working on and I am forever in her debt!

I have this fab Reylo fic bookmarked, I never used to care one way or the other about this ship but damn this fic got me good. Oh and this is another great and very sexy Reylo fic.

If you're interested in original works, I have to recommend Restoration by @valkyrhys – it's just brilliant. The main characters are so easy to love and the whole storyline has me wanting my own little farmhouse with a hot older dude to fall in love with in a post-zombie-apocalypse world.

Also the original story I'm stalking weekly for updates is Bittersweet Thing by @sweetandsure – it's absolutely beautifully written and I'm so heavily invested in it, I can't even tell you. Check the tags as the content isn't for everyone, but if you do give it a chance it's utterly worth it! Honest to god she writes like a dream it's very envy-inducing.

I hope this helps – do let me know if you try any of them and like them!

Hello 🥰 Would you mind sharing your horror and maybe your WW2 Reylo recommendations please - if you get the chance?? Thank you ☀️

While I do have both of these, this post will just be horror stories. I will post the WW2 fics along with some other historicals at some other time, just cause I don’t have a ton of them :)

Ok I have to say that some of these are less actual horror and have more of just a general spooky/Halloween vibe. Also, this is only like half of the fics I have to recommend from this genre and I also have a bunch of one shots as well, all of them will be posted eventually😂

Part 2 of this post!

Includes title(with link), chapter and word count, a more specific au, and an intro. Personal favorites are indicated with a 🦋

Walk the halls (climb up the walls) Rated E/ 15 chapters, 53k words/ Modern, ghosts/ After his mother’s death, Ben inherits the old family mansion. He wants absolutely nothing to do with it, so he hires a salvaging company to get it ready to be torn down. Only problem is: it’s ridiculously haunted and Ben knows it. (MAJOR Haunting of Hill House vibes from this one. Also, this one is definitely in my top 10)🦋

Lockjaw Rated M/ 24 chapters, 106k words/ Zombie apocalypse AU/ A month after the breakout, Kylo finds an unconscious and injured Rey on the side of the road. She reluctantly takes him up on his offer to travel with him

Dark Knight Rated M/ 17 chapters, 51k words/ Dracula AU/ When Rey’s fiancé leaves on a business trip to close a deal with a client, she finds herself drawn to a very mysterious man who seems to already know her somehow. (This author is SO GOOD. They have a whole series of ‘Dark Reylo’ stories like this that are twists on classic stories like this one)

Ten Wise Jedi Rated E/ 10 chapters, 23k words/ And Then There Were None AU/ 10 strangers are invited by an eccentric billionaire to spend a weekend at his mansion on Ahch-To island. When people start dying off soon after arriving, they must work together to find out what’s happening before they’re all gone (if you’ve read ‘and then there were none’, you’ll know what’s going on here)

The Millennium Falcon Friends & the Headless Horseman Rated T/ 3 chapters, 9764 words/ Scooby Doo AU/ Ben, Rey, Rose, Poe, and BB-8 are on their way to Rose’s cabin for the weekend when their car breaks down in a town with a small problem: there’s a ghost roaming the streets (expect a typical Scooby Doo episode but with Star Wars characters😂)

I’d like my obituary to hint at a sequel Rated T/ 10 chapter, 62k words/ modern/ When Rey needs a place to crash, she decides on Alderaan House. It’s supposed to be abandoned, but it turns out Ben Solo didn’t actually die in that plane crash. The house is also lowkey haunted but like in a nice way, so there’s that. (Not really scary at all but it’s kinda got that old Disney channel Halloween movie vibe. This one is ALSO in my top 10)

Improbable, not Impossible Rated T/ 25 chapters, 73k words/ Victorian/ Lady Solo employs a down-on-her-luck Rey to be a maid in her son’s house out in the country side. She finds she doesn’t mind the work, but there are secrets around the house that no one is telling her. (This one is also found on my regency/Victorian list, but it’s literally number 3 in my top 10 list so it has to be brought up again😂)🦋

If you’re looking for a specific genre or trope of fic, check out this post! New fic recs are coming every week!

My 2020 AO3 Unwrapped

Thank you to @tortoisesshells and @sagiow, though I’m a day late (it was those 5 sentence mini-fics that did me in)

Total Word Count 2020:  230,806 which is quite a number-- however, this includes the Cruise Ship story, which I’d estimate I wrote only about 40% of and the Mansion House Mystery, which clocks in at 54K and I wrote 3 chapters, so more like 4K words, which is to say, the actual JoMiddlemarch word count is probably more like 160K. 

Top 5 By word count:

1. Mansion House Murder (word count given elsewhere): I dimly recall coming up with the idea of a round robin fic early in the pandemic calendar. Did you know that we also floated the idea of a Harry Potter inspired fantasy? Probably the most pandemic-y thing about this fic was that we collectively sort of agreed not to discuss an endgame or really ANY PLOT AT ALL, which was what the early months of the pandemic felt like. For the record, I planned to have Squivers be working together with Matron, who was running the whole thing; he went to her for help when Bullen started blackmailing Alice for her involvement in the Golden Crescent.

2. We run a very tight ship (word count given elsewhere aka @sagiow): AKA CRUISE SHIP, a cross between Love Boat and Contagion with a hefty dollop of farce. It’s great to see @Sagiow keeping the ship afloat.

3. Music shall untune the sky (23.548) : This is my GLOW zombie apocalypse AU, featuring Sam Sylvia as the most frequent narrator of the unravelling of the world. I think it’s the only E fic in my top five and one of my few E fics overall. As is to be expected, there are footnotes.

4. What To Expect (12,518) : this was a Reylo modern AU I wrote after reading and enjoying “Doing the Unstuck” by slipgoingunder who I am not tagging because there was a lot of DRAMA about this piece daring to exist. I can’t say it makes me want to go back and reread it, even though I had fun writing it.

5. Only fever and poetry provoke visions (10,301) : Ah, Sanditon! In the era of Bridgerton, Sanditon’s escapades now seem almost quaint, though the show had precious little to do with Jane Austen’s actual work. This was one of my hurt/comfort specials, putting Sidney through the wringer. I started it before the pandemic really took hold, which is why I think I managed to write 10K about a sudden, deathly illness.

Top 5 By Kudos:

1. The subtlest fold of the heart (365) : Little Women, post-Gerwig, Amy and Jo talking about their marriages and Amy suffering about whether Laurie loves her well enough. Jo scandalizes Amy by making it clear Fritz is very good in bed. 

2. Bear with the truths I would tell you now (295): Emma and George Knightley, the morning after. George has opinions about Emma’s hairstyle. I make it clear Knightley is good in bed. Sound familiar?

3. Only fever and poetry provoke visions (219): I talked about this one earlier. Sidney doesn’t deserve Charlotte and this time, he knows it.

4. Days may pass and years may pass (190): Sanditon, post-series, AU. A way for Sidney and Charlotte to find their way back to each other. Technically kidfic, but not super sappy. I think.

5. What To Expect (188): Again, talked about this one above. Made me glad I spend most of my time in small, civil, welcoming fandoms. 

Top Fic Overall: I don’t know what this means? Top by hits is “The subtlest fold of the heart” and it’s top by kudos, so maybe that’s it? Top three personal faves would have to be:

“It had the virtue of never having been tried” which was a Mercy Street/Star Trek crossover with Mary and Jed discussing the Kobayashi Maru scenario, wedding two of my all-time favorite fandoms and allowing me to research games in the Star Trek universe (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27974891)

“Lovers and madmen have such seething brains” which was my take on the Rebecca reboot Netflix put out and features WWI vet Maxim de Winter with PTSD, played in my mind’s eye by Cillian Murphy. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27311071)

“What nicer thing can you do for somebody but make them breakfast?” is the Gilmore Girls AU where Max and Lorelai marry and Max hangs out at Luke’s. They are both grown-ups. And I researched sandwiches. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/23546734/chapters/56481970)

Honorable mention to “Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage” a GLOW fic in which Sam Sylvia calls out Debbie’s behavior. It’s probably the least romantic of my GLOW fic, but it feels like the most important missing scene from the show to me (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27564910)

Tagging  @oldshrewsburyian @amarguerite @kivrin @samsylviasmoustache @abluewrites and anyone else who wants to play on New Year’s Day. I’m taking Anna’s words to heart for 2021 and just trying to do the next right thing.

ROLEPLAY MASTERPOST!

Hello all! I just thought I would update the blog with some plots that I’m really craving at the moment. Both Fandoms and originals, so if you see something that interests you, please feel free to get in touch.

Reylo: I always prefer AU’s when it comes to this ship, I think it’s because while I love the Star Wars universe, writing for it is a pain in the ass, trying to make it sound authentic if that makes sense? And I’m pretty lazy so am AU is just so much easier. Modern AU’s tend to be my favourite, with themes relating around Age gaps and kind of forbidden relationships, those are always fun, but I also enjoy just cute fluffy stories about days out at Disneyland or something.

The Last of Us/Zombie apocalypse: This more just set in the world of TLOU as opposed to using the actual in game characters, however I’m not opposed to them popping up if it makes sense for the story. I do have a very intricate and detailed character already made up for this, so if you’re craving a story in this world please let me know!

Red Dead/Wild West: Again this would most likely be just a setting than involving in game characters. Red Dead is a lot of fun, and I don’t really have anything in mind but I always like the idea of playing a gruff bounty hunter, someone who doesn’t do well with other people, who’s then forced for whatever reason to spend time with someone the complete opposite of him. Cliche, but fun!

Dramione: Dramione is probably OG ship, the first one I had that I really cared about anyway, so I always love the idea of writing for these two. The cliche story of the 8th year, head boy and girl living together has been done to death by this point, but I still absolutely love it, so I’ve got no problem with that. I also love the idea of a slightly older Dramione starting an affair. They’re both unhappy in their current marriages and turn to one another for comfort and something new!

BuckyNat: These two are just hot. Bad boy and bad girl type of relationship, and you just know they have so much fun together. The idea of a shared history they don’t really talk about is also intriguing to me, but again with this there are multiple directions we could take it. Unwinding together after missions, Date night in the city, Jealousy, drug use, corruption, there’s always a lot of options with these two.

Spider-Man: I’ve been playing a lot of the recent PS4 game recently and I’ve never really done a Spidey RP but I’d definitely be interested. This could be set in pretty much any universe, although I would maybe want to stay away from MCU since he’s still quite young. I love his relationship with Mary-Jane in that game as well, it’s complicated but very cute and you can see they really care about her, but his relationship with Felicia/Black Cat is also interesting as well, and... well let’s be honest, just hot. So I would be fine with either or those, or even throwing in Gwen/Ghost-Spider and some interdemensional crossing.

Originals: We don’t have to write anything related to a fandom, I love coming plotting 1x1 originals that are always such fun. Quick list is below

Sugar Daddy x Baby prompt

Professor X Student

Father X Young Nanny/Babysitter

Cheating/Affair plots

A/B/O Omegaverse. (This can also be applied to any of the fandom RP’s too)

Fake relationship for a friends wedding or to fool parents plot!

Pretty much anything enemies to lovers

Slice of life

Hogwarts AU

Always open to more ideas

This post is kind of a mess but I hope it can give you some idea of what I’m looking for, so if you like anything you see please feel free to message me or add me on Discord, you can find my @ in my bio!

Just some last minute things I want to mention, I usually like to include a good mixture of both smut and story. I have plenty of kinks and have no problem getting quite dark and extreme, but I’m also very respectful of your limits, so we can absolutely discuss what you like and you don’t. The last thing I want to do is make my partner uncomfortable at all. And finally, I do work a full time job so I’m not available all the time unfortunately, but when I am around you’ll get all of my attention! Hope to hear from you guys soon.

[blarfkey]

Fic Writer Interview

Thanks for the tag, @wizardofozymandias! Sorry it took so long to get to it!

Name: Blarfkey, here and on AO3

Where you post: mostly AO3, though sometimes I will post snippets and things here.

Fandoms: I’ve written for Dragon Age, X-Men, Star Wars, Assassins Creed Odyssey, and Pokemon

Most Popular One Shot: The one shot with the most Kudos is Woodstock 83, a post X-Men Apocalypse where Peter finally tells Magneto that they are father and son. The one shot with the most hits is Clowns to the Left of Me Jokers to the Right, a one shot post DOFP about Peter figuring out what kind of relationship he wants with his father, knowing that his father is the most wanted criminal in the world.

Most popular multichap: Dear Fen’harel -- my massive Solavellan Modern AU that’s based on the children’s book Dear Daddy Long Legs. Ellana moved from the Dales to pursue college and finds herself broke and working three jobs in Val Royeaux just to survive. A mysterious benefactor offers to pay for her ride to Skyhold University and all he wants in return is a pen pal.

Favorite Story I’ve Written So Far: Ok so this one is hard. I loved writing The Sun Will Shine When Morning Comes, the sequel to Woodstock 83, because it was from Erik’s POV, which I hadn’t done before. But I also really love Thick as Thieves for being to canon Solas romance I wish I had gotten. There is a serious lack of Solas/Cadash content. And I both love and Hate Dear Fen’harel in equal measure, haha. It’s the fic that will not end. And I love Trick of the Light because I fell in love with Alcibiades in Assassin’s Creed and I also love Greek Mythology.

Fic You were Nervous To Post: Let Me Give You Some Light. I know Colemance is not everyone’s cup of tea and has some strong opinions on it either way, and this was dark, fucked up Colemance to boot. but I’ve been surprised at the amount of love it’s received!

How Do You Choose Titles? I mostly crib them fron song lyrics! Occasionally I get inspired by a phrase or a theme in the fic but it doesn’t happen often, so I cheat. Insidiously.

Do You Outline: if it’s longer than a oneshot, I will list the events and scenes I want to include and put them in order. but I always leave space for my brain to be inspired at the last minute.

Complete: I have 23 completed fics! But most of those are oneshots

In Progress: The main fics I’m still working on are Dear Fen’harel, Thick As Thieves, Code Ren (Reylo The Force Awakens AU) and Too Wise to Woo Peaceably (Kate/Marak fic from the book The Hollow Kingdom). A few fics are waiting for an extra update or coda, but can be read as finished.

Prompts: I have way too many ideas and not enough time to write them on my own. So even though I love prompts, I can’t keep up with them.

Upcoming Work You’re Excited About: There are two one shots I’ve been keeping in the back of my head for a while, waiting for a spare minute. I’ve got a Toph/Zuko fic from ATLA and a Draco & Luna fic for Harry Potter. Also a fun/dark gothic Dragon Age AU fic I want to write with @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold but IDK if I’m allowed to spill any details. >.>

Worlds I Would Love To Write For In The Future: There’s a lot of fandoms I would want to dip my toe in if I got the right idea. The Queen’s Thief series, for one. Harry Potter, which I’ve read since I was a kid and never wrote for. Final Fantasy 12. I’m dying for a Nutcracker AU. So many things, haha. So little time.

This was fun so consider anyone who wants to do this tagged!

[cassatine]

self-accountability* wips list. 

* admittedly I failed accountability several times already, most recently after TROS when I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t, ie start a new longfic. so there’s that. I’d feel bad for being a flake but it’s fic so I don’t.

Kingdom / untitled post-canon rebuilding, rom-com let’s be real, Seo-bi/Yeong-sin / that wip is like... nearly a year old, but also it’s not much more than that bittersweet rebuilding aesthetic, and I can fit it nicely in the time skip without having to do much in the way of cuts & changes. otoh I’ve done soft epilogues twice already in the last year... tho the historicity does up the challenge. idk maybe I should just scrap it and do angry working together with a side of angry fucking in the first days of the outbreak, that’s good too. 

TROS (technically) / the incestuous legacies fic, ie the imperial verse id tropefest feat. reylo as kissing cousins (making for about 5% of the incestuous vibes) / currently 32k. chapter two and three are being complicated, mainly because I have some plot issues to smooth out due to the transition from “flashfic with pseudo-plot” to “fucking behemoth” but it’s going okay. I’m a bit worried considering my shitty track record with longfic (and the sudden but unsurprising Kingdom obsession making a comeback to sidetrack me) but if I don’t keep trying I sure as fuck won’t succeed (nor learn) so I’m hoping for a third time’s the charm. 

SW ST / promised lands (working title), a Leia POV for the eldritch verse, because my Leia & son feels are mighty and I didn’t put enough catholicism in the Kylo one / actual writing for a future two-three days break from the behemoth when I feel like being purple prosey. 

SW ST / let’s do the time loop again (working title), a crack Doctor Who fusion feat. Rey, Luke, and Luke’s naughty nephew / actual writing probably for a break too, for now I’m mostly playing around with how to fusion and making jokes when I feel like being funny. 

SW Aphra comics / not actually a wip I just have a few notes but I Know I need to do Aphra fic feat. cameos and ruins and archaeology jokes.

HDM / Gyptian Lyra plotless worldbuilding for when I need a break from the war in the stars but also for when I’ll be over The Secret Commonwealth (we don’t talk about that book).

+ the half dozen partly outlined concepts for SW flashfics currently on my ‘most aggressive bunnies’ doc. at some point I’ll give a look at the old sw ideas doc. maybe. some of them are probably worth a dusting off.

Shelved / T100 / perverse instantation, the Beccafic / Grounder historybuilding AU / I might go back to it once the current SW obsession calms the fuck down, or it’ll join the imperial trash epic as evidence that I suck at longfic / possible original fiction seed (i will not suck at long-form forever).

Shelved / TUA / option a) Frankenhog feat. All The Things; option b) unfranken the hog to do The Things separately, starting with A Softer Apocalypse / stuck in partial outline limbo, because the rule is I can only fail at one longfic at a time and TROS happened. 

Shelved /  ASOIAF / 5+1 type Westerosi languages / probably not worth touching until I actually do a books reread. 

Shelved / FF7 | Yuffie/Wutai wordbuilding / probably not worth touching until my on and off replay actually takes me to Wutai.

Reylo Research Trip, Day 1 :)

Hello from the Michigan lakeside, my lovelies!! I’m posting this a day late because I’m having too much fun to use the internet ;) But hey, the RL experience is what I’m here for, right?

Day 1 (Friday) was kind of a bum day. Understandable since we drove ALL DAY Thursday and felt totally wiped out. :p But it’s been inspiring all the same! Friday night we built a campfire in the backyard of our rental cottage, and it kicked off quite the adventure....

CARNAGE!!!

That’s right, it’s mayfly season around here. Our campfire triggered a swarm - partially around the campfire, but mostly around the house. They were so thick on the doors and windows that we couldn’t even get back inside, so we had to spray them with Raid... which resulted in the devastation you see here. What’s worse, a lot of them were still alive for a while, trying to beat their wings. The sound was like rain. Very localized rain.

Today there are flies buzzing around the corpses. Gnarly, dude.

And yes, some form of this will probably make it into my creepy forest AU ;)

It hasn’t been all creepy, though. After the mayfly apocalypse, we sat out by the lake and listened to scary stories under a crystal clear night sky. I can’t believe how many stars there were. I wish I could share pictures, but a cellphone can’t capture that kind of glory :p So here’s a pic of the sunrise instead.

Today we're going to go hiking in the woods, which is what I came here for. I can't wait.

Oh p.s., here's a glimpse of our charming little rental cottage!

Heyyyy, so TLJ gave me a truck load of Reylo feels and now I’ve finally found the motivation to continue my Reylo nuclear fallout post-apocalypse AU fic 

Radiation Exposure

that I started nearly two years ago //sweats// 

Anyhoo, it’s been an embarrassingly long time since I posted chapter 5 so here’s a sneaky Reylo peek at chapter 6!

Rey’s wrists were burning with the tightness of the cuffs, and she longed to move them to try and make them more comfortable, but she wouldn’t let him see her pain, so she kept her hands still. He was standing across the small room from her, silent and still, not having even twitched when she was brought in. His mask covered his face so there was no way to tell what he was thinking. She looked around at her surroundings again, but her assessment of the room so far hadn’t given her much hope of escape, discounting her hands bound behind her back. The room was empty except for one chair, that she was sat on, and about six or seven large metal barrels with radiation warnings stickered onto their sides and lids. She hoped they were empty. Surely they weren’t both sealed into an air-tight room with radioactive material inside? She felt her skin shiver when she thought of the guards that had brought her in, clothed head to toe in protective suits. But if their intention was to kill her with radiation exposure, surely her interrogator would be in danger from it too?

“State your identification number.” The dark figure suddenly rumbled softly, with a metallic edge the voice modifier gave him through his helmet mask. The technology in there must be fascinating, Rey couldn’t help but think, her nerves pulling familiar and comforting topics to mind. “State your identification number.” He repeated in almost a growl.

So this was Kylo Ren. Prince of The First Order. Without anything else to focus on in the sparse room it was even clearer to see how everything about him seemed to be engineered to threaten and intimidate. He was tall and broad, but his heavy, pitch black clothing accentuated these features even further. His stance made him seem like he was rooted to the ground, fighting against a gravity that was trying to drag him down; strong, powerful. Admittedly, it somewhat worked, as she couldn’t help but be uneasy in his presence, but… she could not bring herself to be frightened of someone who hid his face behind a mask. If he was hiding his expressions and his eyes, a human’s true vulnerability, then who was the scared one really?

This thought searing through her mind, Rey lifted her chin proudly, “My name is Rey.”
