seven sentence sunday

tagged by @daffi-990 💖

so i know i said that married smut is my priority but i can't have just one priority bc i get bored or stuck lol - so apparently my other main wip rn is the cheating fic due to a sudden burst of inspiration for it haha (also don't wanna share like everything from the married buddie smut haha)

prev snippet | moodboard

___

She smiles at him as she takes another bite of her food, and he tries to smile back, but then he remembers Eddie’s drunken smile that he kissed off his lips. She touches his hand, and he remembers Eddie’s hands all over his body, his lips, his touch, his heavy breaths and wonderful sounds made just for Buck. He’s sitting here with his girlfriend, and can’t stop thinking about his best friend he cheated with. Eddie is buzzing under his skin, thrumming in his veins, occupying his every thought. Buck feels like Eddie’s taken up permanent residence there now, in Buck’s body and mind, there’s no getting rid of him. He’s not sure he wants to. 

Wait, no, that’s not true, he can’t- he can’t want Eddie like that. He has to find a way to forget. 

He’s so screwed.

I genuinely can't comprehend the level of discipline it takes to hold back a 100k+ piece until it's completed. In vague terms if needed, what scene in noble pining are you most excited for people to read?

awww thank you!!!! i've just found for me personally that like. i tend to get blocked on wips and jump between projects really frequently depending on what i feel interested/inspired/motivated by at any given time. and a big motivation for me in my wips is like. getting to a point where i can post and share this thing that i'm working on!! and i've found that when i post multi chap works as i write them instead of finishing and posting all at once, i tend to give up on them halfway through because it's weirdly easier for me to abandon a wip i've half posted than it is to abandon a wip in my docs forever-- maybe because i feel like it's easier to go back to an unposted wip than one that people have already read?? idk there's not a clear a-to-b reason it just. is how my brain works skfjnsb

so yeah. ive been working on noble pining for three years now, and i've gone like. over a year at times and not worked on it or touched it all !! and a step i take when im blocked is to go back and reread and workshop and edit old chapters, so the whole thing is a little bit fluid and always under progress, even chapters i wrote back in 2020 !! i ike having the option to go back and change things early in the story to suit what i'm actively working on later in thes tory, and ifeel like i wouldn't like having to go into ao3 and edit an already posted chapter if i needed to <3

all this to say, it doesn't really feel like self control to not post noble pining until it's done, that's just always been the plan from the beginning- even before i knew how long and involved this story was going to end up being!! and i don't think i ever anticipated having so many people be so excited for an invested in this story !! in my head, noble pining was always jsut for me as a silly little passion project and for my close friends who i'd bully into reading it for me; so the fact that there are people on here that are enthusiastic about a story just from what i've blogged and talked about it is amazing to me forever <3333

ALSO. its not a full scene but my aelwyn pov chapter is one of my favorite things in the whole of noble pining thus far, it makes me crazy to think about and reread it, and so i'm sosooo excited for people to get ur hands on it :))

Bestie! How was your weekend? Mine was stressful! Tired of being an adult. 😡

Just want Daichi (thigh-chi is more like it) to snuggle me in his arms and thighs. I would just melt into him.

But also! So I know you removed anon asks for your own reasons but can I just say, I actually really like it? Seeing all the other followers who are usually on anon talking about their WIP makes me so excited cause I have so many new people to follow and works to look forward to. Other anons, I am soo excited to support your upcoming works and read them! I too have my first work in progress, I am just editing it. It's about Bakugo cause I just love his feral gremlin self. 🥰🥰🥰

-Spooky anon 👻

My spooky bestie HI!!!! im so sorry your weekend was so stressful! That's the worse when whats suppose to be the best days of the week end up being the worse 😫 my weekend was ok. I'm getting to the end or my summer rope here with these demon spawn. They start school in 2 weeks and I'm already waiting for the bus to come to ship them off 🤣

Ok but serious Thigh-chi is so amazing! I just rewatxgdd season 3 and let me just say, his character is so amazing!!

I actually really like it too 😅 I mean it does suck because I know it limits who sends me asks but at the same time, it's nice knowing what others are writing or whose sending awesome headcanons to my inbox!! Seriously you all are so talented and creative I just love it!

I'm seriously so excited to share these oneshots with everyone! I'm way less confident in my oneshot writing than I am in my headcanons. My oneshots have like no extra commentary and I struggle with adding fluff and feelings! But I'm actually really excited for these to drop! Now I just need to edit them 🤣

Also can you PLEASE tag me in that Bakugo fic??? Bakugo is one of my all time favorite characters!

WIP TITLES ASK GAME

Rules: Share the titles of each of your current WIPs, and, if your followers ask, share a preview of the one that sounds the most interesting. Send this on to mutuals who you are curious what they’re working on.

tagged by @texanredrose who probably dislikes me personally for this HGDFSGHJSDF. tbh i often don't title like ANYYYYY of my WIPs until i have to input them onto AO3, so uh. i am going to have to bullshit some names. also i'm gonna do tex's thing and add a little synopsis if i TRULY cannot think of a title lmao.

note: i am NOT counting WIPs that have at least one chapter posted because otherwise we will be here FOREVER AND EVER so uh yeah. this is just stuff trapped in my gdocs. also it's just RWBY for the sake of keeping it simple, stupid,

anyway uh am tagging @edarzhar (bitch) and @flawedvictori too!!! perish,

(this got long so here's a cut)

Bunfeed Bunsolved: The Valley Walk -- YES this is still happening just very slowly. this is the first cinder/velvet fic of the series and i am SO excited because it gets Weird out there. also it's mostly all about how much cinder likes hiking until she's actually doing it. inspired by the horror movie The Ritual (2017) if you MUST have context,

Ode to Stray Dogs -- it's that guard dog!Weiss/Cinder AU i posted the entire plot for a week or so ago! i love love love this AU and it WILL happen and it IS happening i'm just very slow about it sdhjfghjsgdfk anyway weiss becomes cinder's guard dog. that's the fic. also it's very kinky.

Untitled Velvet/Cinder Fic I -- it's untitled and it's a fic! this one is about, erm... a high-class restaurant/bar/whatever that also doubles as a kinky hook-up joint because you can pay for the servers to let you get freaky with them??? im SO sorry this au legit was so spur-of-the-moment but anyway velvet is there being very hot and cinder, emerald and neo are there like 👀s about it sfdhjsgdfgk

Untitled Velvet/Cinder Fic II -- HAH THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!! this one is also just a stupid dumb kinky idea but anyway it's about... um... well... it's... [makes vague gestures] i feel like if i try and explain this one people are going to be like 'really' at me BUT IT'S REALLY HOT OKAY I'M JUST!!!!!!!!!!! look if i say it has excessive cum and involves like all the girls of rwby can we just agree to leave it there,

Pâte à Choux -- velvet/every girl. they have sex. every girl. and velvet. i TRULY need to say no more,

Untitled Cinder/Neo Fic -- okay this one is good. cinder and neo gatecrash a mistrali wedding in which cinder talks to everyone to gather just enough knowledge to pretend to be a very distant relative whilst neo demolishes the buffet. they are both dressed terribly and get really drunk and whilst the groom is very suspicious of these two two nonbinary lesbians cinder gives the wife a really expensive gift and so she's like 'do not fucking kick them out MICHAEL' and it's very stupid and dumb. anyway they do this once a week,

Untitled Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, Neo, Roman Fic -- chatlog! been poking at this one for a bit... it's just the CRME + Neo groupchat and it's a disaster also it's cinder/velvet again I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW SHUT UP I KNOW

Untitled GWS!Weiss/canon!Weiss fic -- you know the one. very horny. also very sad???

The Grimmification of Ruby Rose -- here's the bitch!!! this is happening albeit very slowly. in this AU, grimm are actually infected people (THIS WAS BEFORE CANON MADE IT COOL) who turn into grimm over a period of weeks/months! ruby gets infected when she's 15 and decides to kill salem before salem can kill her. currently tinkering with the idea of making it ruby/velvet but don't quote me,

Untitled Faunus AU (aka The Academy of Menagerie) -- a modified version of my Everyone Is A Faunus AU, in which all the cast are faunus and attend the academy of menagerie, which has been invited to participate in the vytal Festival for the first time in its 25 year history. naturally, teams RWBYJNPRCFVY etc show up and wreck shop.

The Misadventures of Blake Belladonna's Silicone Dick -- THIS IS HAPPENING I SWEAR TO CHRIST it's SO funny i have to finish this eventually!!! anyway this is about a non-binary transmasc blake (aka my regular blake) who uses a packer!!! people find out and things get ridiculous. namely it somehow ends up on the roof at some point,

Untitled Snowboarding AU -- this one is one of those horny ones that isn't horny on the surface but is getting there. anyway ruby wins tickets for an all-expenses-paid trip to one of the schnee resorts up in solitas and gives them to blake and velvet who end up there in her stead. they meet weiss schnee, professional snowboarder, and it turns out that when weiss is amped on adrenaline sahe is absolutely 100% down 2 clown... so yeah it's weiss/blake/velvet fhgjsfdj

Untitled Dishonored AU Spinoff -- for Tex!!! the person who inflicted this upon me. it's a little story set in the dishonored au in which we focus on velvet--in charge of the vale rebellion--and cinder, who is a Crime Lady looking to help the rebellion out if only so she can get back to doing crimes all the damn time. its also about velvet strategically avoiding all of rubys text messages as she runs around like a clown. people die!

My Summer Car/RWBY Crossover -- this is another one i'm gonna get to EVENTUALLY. in which taiyang and summer leave for vacation in mistral and yang goes and hangs out in vale for the summer, leaving ruby in the house alone with nothing but a shitty old car for company. probably ruby/velvet. shenanigans ensue.

Sims Medieval/RWBY Crossover -- i've been working on this one FOREVERRRRRRRRRR and it Will happen. it will. ruby is the bardic hero of the kingdom of vale in service to her majesty glynda goodwitch! along with nine other heroes, ruby has to help save vale from an untimely end... but the old queen salem still lingers in the shadows, and threatens to consume all the kingdoms in her great maw. can ruby, armed with little more than a lute and her wits, help save vale? probably not but she CAN play a banging ballad,

Untitled Taffeta/Sienna/Sherveen Fic -- dicks out for milfs that is all

Untitled Ash/Ghira/Taffeta/Kali Fic -- dicks out for dilfs that is all

not as many as tex but then again if we counted all the motherfuckers still in progress................. yikes. anyway here's that. i've probably forgotten a few/ignored ones that are similar concepts to these just in their own little branches (the aufeis fic has like a BILLION snippets in my files i just count em all as the same thing sdhjgf) but whatever. anyway. pass the curse along.

[lesbiansayaishii]

1, 3, 4, 5, 15, 18, 19, 21, 23

no pressure to answer them all ajshghasgsj im very curious tho

1. tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

People keep sending me this lol- but I always have more wips so I don’t mind in the least <3 (Perfect time to talk about inthaf omg)

It’s Nice To Have a Friend (inthaf) is the title of an original fic that I’m slowly chipping away at in hopes of actually writing something original… it’s based on the Taylor Swift song of the same name. Ever since I first heard this song I’ve wanted to write a childhood friends to lovers fic but it never really fit any of my ships (surprise surprise, there's a thing called original fiction. Who knew?) This idea has been brewing in my mind for about a year and a half now, but I just started plotting and worldbuilding about a month ago! Not many details are set in stone and I want to keep it under wraps for a while yet, but the main premise is two childhood friends reuniting after years of being apart. Shenanigans (also known as the plot™) ensue. I’m really excited about this fic tho! Maybe I’ll actually finish it… (I say, as I haven’t even finished one fic)

3. what is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)

A mob boss au omg. This sounds like so much fun but the amount of research I’d have to do? The amount of writing I’d have to do? I don’t have the time for another multi lol. I think I’d probably make it papertiger if I did write it though.

4. share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

Cindy. Felicia smiles.

You get zero context, you're welcome.

5. what character that you’re writing do you most identify with?

answered here!

15. which is harder: titles or summaries (or tags)?

Great question great question…. Am I allowed to say all of them?

Titles usually come to me sometime while writing, or at least fragments of titles, so those aren’t super hard unless they don’t come to me lol in that case that would be the hardest part of a fic.

Summaries have been drilled into my brain for years (meaning I loathe them) but if I really need one I’ll do it, but if I’m feeling lazy I’ll just use an interesting quote from the fic as a hook and call it a day. aaty has the one summary I’m actually proud of that I put effort into lol

Honestly I don’t give a shit about tags… sometimes I use them, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I forget that ao3 isn’t tumblr and I use the tags like I would on tumblr lol

18. do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them.

So many of them!! I briefly thought about writing Carmen and Julia’s relationship before the events of aaty, thought about writing a fic where Carmen faked her death for an epilogue-type fic set after you’re gone (and I’m all alone), gala fics… so many gala fics for carulia. There’s actually one coming up in both of my carulia multichaps, although I won’t tell you where.

19. is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)

answered here!

21. what other medium do you think your story would work well as? (film, webcomic, animated series?)

If they weren’t all fanfiction I think they’d work good as films or webcomics <3

23. what's the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

Definitely aaty. Started that sucker january 2021 and only got a few chapters in before my brainrot said no more writing *cries*

Fic Writer Interview 

Tagged by my lovely smol friend @rose-blooms-red! Thank you dearly! 

Name(s): Owl(F45), Owlfeather45

Fandoms: DC, BNHA, tentatively lurking in Voltron, Marvel, and a few others 

Where you post: Ao3, sometimes Tumblr, I keep saying I’ll brave Wattpad and FF.net but then I never do

Most popular one-shot (by kudos): 

Overall: if we’re talking stand-alones, that would be Vitamin Window. if we’re talking fics with only one chapter out because we haven’t been looking at our other WIPs recently... that would be Safe Space 

This year: Again, depending on the classification, Rose Quartz or Dandelion

Most Popular Multi-chap (also by kudos):

Overall: Indefinite

This year: Imaginary, I think. It has grown a crazy amount this year, I think it’s actually close to surpassing Indefinite in kudos which. Is a thing. That I have a lot of thoughts about 

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Imaginary 

Fic you were nervous to post: Pretty much all of them? I think the most I was nervous about in order would start with Imaginary, since it was my second fic and I had gotten so used to being involved exclusively with Indefinite. Then Insecurities of the Body, Dandelion, Rose Quartz, Instincts of a Hollow Chest, and so on and so on. 

How do you choose your titles: Thematic symbols, singular words that basically encapsulate the vibe of the fic, me-games (how many fics I can start with the letter ‘i’)

Do you outline?: I’ve been doing a lot more outlining as of recent, since i don’t have nearly as much time to actually write and thus i have to spend more time keeping track of everything. 

Complete: ... Rose Quartz and Vitamin Window... are the only ones finished 

In progress: Nine 

Coming Soon: Two Daises, the oneshot Moonpaw requested for Indefinite hitting... 100k hits? 

Not started: 15 fics-ish that are worth people’s time? And one I’m wrapping up planning and outlining for. And then i would say a million more “not-started” fics that aren’t fleshed out enough for me to indulge in writing 

Prompts?: i love reading prompts. does that mean i’m going to write them? debatable. i might. i might not. i will definitely share them on my blog for other people to see. but theres only a 5% chance ill actually write them. 

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: conARIUMMMMM. might just fucking post that shit on my main ao3 account im that excited goddamn I SO BADLY WANT TO WRITE IT ITS JUST TAKING FOREVER TO OUTLINE IT THERES SO MANY GODDAMN DETAILS. but i honest to god think that that’s going to be my best work by far and I can’t wait to dip my toes into it 

No Pressure Tags: i!! am actually going to be brave this time and im going to @ some peeps! @cyber-phobia, @pocketramblr, @gentrychild, @fiveminuterice, @polystained (i’m not sure if you have fics but i wanted to try anyway), @universes-mystery, and finally @real-weeby-hours 

again, no pressure though! 

[bosspigeon]

:V I've never sent you an ask from your blog on PC before, I like the talky face. 1. Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it? 4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like) 19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)

fhdkjsahj i always forget about the little face. that’s me telling u to yell :V

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

I have SO MANY goddamned docs all over the place, but my current big WIP is my AWAU (Arlo Werewolf AU) which has grown well beyond what i thought it would hfdkjasdg. i’ve written OUTLINES for it!!! i don’t write outlines for anything!!! i’m rewriting the first part entirely, bc that bit is gonna be a standalone (the transformation from adam’s pov) and then i’m plotting out what is probably gonna wind up a bigger, multi-chapter thing? i haven’t written a multi-chapter fic since the fo4 fandom days!!! (eurydice’s fall was a wild ride hfdkjsg) i’m just. doing a lot of stuff i haven’t done in AGES and it’s as exciting as it is stressful lmao. but i’m having a lot of fun coming up with the way Arlo’s story changes, to the point where i legit feel like this is his canon, now?

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

hfdjhd well this is a little more than a paragraph, but i like it bc its just my fuckin oc rambling about a trope in werewolf/monster fiction that’s never made sense to me hfdkjhaskjlg. what are ocs but a vehicle for your own gripes?

Arlo almost starts chewing on his lip before he remembers his teeth, and starts chewing on his thumbnail instead. “I don’t know how to really explain it? But while I was changing, it was like I wasn’t all there? Something of me was, but it felt lost. Disjointed.” He furrows his brow, chewing harder at his nail in frustration. It doesn’t seem to want to give way, even to his much more powerful teeth. “There’s always been this weird idea in, like, monster fiction, that a person who becomes something else suddenly has another entity living in their head, essentially. There’s this dichotomy of ‘Man versus Beast’ but in his own head. I never liked it much, because it felt reductive and never really made sense to me anyway, even before all this, but if I could explain it using that example, it’s not like something else just moved into my head, but more like a part of me was just… woken up? If that makes sense? But it was separated from the rest, and that split made it hard to focus in any sort of meaningful way. Like those pieces needed to slot together for me to be able to think at all beyond...”

Beyond the fear. Beyond the pain. Beyond the rage.

19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)

hfdkjshjg oh this one is hard... uh, well, i like alliteration a lot? so i tend to do that when i’m trying to put some intensity/urgency into a moment so it flows. i also tend to like describing things as “___, and ___, and ___” if that makes sense? im also always worried the way i describe things feels dull and repetitive. it’s hard to think of specific examples in the moment bc ADHD hfdjkshkg

[quakeriders]

Hi. I know you're not posting any feysand right now but i just wanted to share this with you. Your prompts and multichapter fics (I've read through them like fifteen times by now) always make me feel good and make me fall asleep so much faster despite my anxiety issues. And tonight when I'm quite drunk and it's like 2:30AM (autocorrect is a lifesaver) i just wanted to share with you how much i adore your work and how going through your feysand fic blog never fails to put me in a good mood

2/2. So yeah just wanted to tell you this so that you get at least a hint of how much your work has impacted me. So that even if you decide to stop posting feysand content just know that it has made so many of my days better!!! And now I'm gonna go to sleep!

oh my god, thank you so much! for real, this message made me feel so weepy. you can’t even imagine.

like, i know i’ve kinda dropped off the face of the earth, but covid just happened in a shitty time of my life. i was sick at the end of last year, i stopped working at my old job, i pushed off stuff for uni and then on top of it all, the whole world went to shit, and im slowly trying to claw myself back to being a regularly functioning human being (its slow progress, yall)

but thank you so much! i’m not done writing for feysand. i still love them, i still love writing, i’m just on a break but for real.. i haven’t even stopped about different aus that i would love to write and i even plan on updates for my current wips (like i dont wanna get anyone excited, but yeah... im still here, and im trying to get my life and my fandom life back on track)

so thank you thank you thank you for this and im so glad that something i have created can help someone with their own problems. it means the world to me!

[blindbatalex]

1, 4, 18, 20 & 22 please !

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it? im currently writing the gary makes an unfortunate bet and then finds himself accidentally in love with jamie fic i was talking about and i’m happy because thx to work i had rly lost my writing mojo but this past week i slowly got it back. currently have like ~3k written, it will be 10-15k by the time it’s over and i am so excited to have an active WIP im working on and can return to each weekend again.

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

David is a small fifteen year old boy with golden hair, quiet but only because he doesn’t speak much Swedish, William thinks. The ice catches on fire when he is on it. They throw them on the same line and David has magic in his hands, his feet. He dangles past defensemen like it’s the easiest thing in the world. He can find William from the other end of the rink and when he sets up a goal, or when he scores, he smiles with his whole being, and his smile is like riding on the subway when it surfaces to cross a river. Light flooding in where there was only darkness a moment before, the water a magnificent shade of blue just outside the dirt-caked windows. Almost enough to make you believe in God. 

this is from between your love and mine, and probably the best description i ever wrote in my life 

18. Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them. YES. many. for example this one i almost wrote for the ghosts of you and me--where they still have the same Conversation at the end and sleep together, but in the morning go their separate ways, bc some wounds run too deep, with a vague promise to keep in touch that they know neither will keep.

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about this answer is already too long so i’ll try to be brief LOL but there is always a lot of light/dark imagery in my fics, and a whole lot of it in the ghosts of you and me.  i rly like taking an opposing pair like that and building in all the contradictions of it to further the mood or the story. for example, dark can be oppressive but also safe and intimate but also where secrets live and light something that’s beautiful or stark and harsh.

22. Do you reread your old works? How do you feel about them? I used to reread my fics a lot, bc sometimes only i know the exact thing i need and want to read, but i fell out of habit recently, esp since nowadays i notice a lot of flaws when i go back so sometimes it’s best not to.  i also have a couple of fics i will never ever re-read lol bc i find the mistakes super glaring 

[gizkasparadise]

so while i’ve been procrastinating taking healthy breaks from dissertating, i’ve been reading fic! & time to do some of that promo time because there’s so many good ones <3 i plan to do another list for theonsa + got f/f, but it’s gendrya time baby!

pre-season 8

five times gendry treated arya like a girl by vixleonard five times arya stark shared a bed with gendry by vixleonard these are Required Reading-- vixleonard’s stuff were the first gendrya fics i read and i love these two so much <3 

season 8

sing more absurd by scintillio_coil (post-finale) man does this deserve more kudos. the prose is beautiful, and there’s so much wonderful detail!!! i’m a sucker for gendry-centric fic that explores what it’s like for him to be Lording and this one executes it so well. plus, gilly + gendry is the friendship i didn’t know i needed

letters from winterfell by jeeno2 FEEL GOOD EPISTOLARY. i loved seeing gendry’s progress with learning to write and read, the dynamics and humor are so great. warm and fuzzy after the angst disaster of eps 4-6

5 things series by jeeno2 mix of pre- and during and post- s8. a bunch of one-shots and i love every single one of them

vindicated by meltedflames okay this one is a tbr for me, but it looks awesome and im excited for it!

canon aus/asoiaf speculative

no featherbed for me by vixleonard hahahaaaaaaaaa kill me. prince!gendry au that is chock full of angst but beautiful.

encounters by jeeno2 this is my favorite WIP at the moment. role reversal au -- prince!gendry, bastard!arya. featuring gendry having a relationship with baratheons and queen!lyanna 

5 times someone threatened to murder gendry (and 1 time he didn’t mind) by vixleonard au post 8x3. im a sucker for 5+1 fics and this was just a lot of fun to read

beyond the end by crossingwinter gendry + arya roadtrip au to save bran after he becomes the 3-eyed raven/stuck in a tree. amazing dynamics and one of my favorite fics

sleeping arrangements by missunderstood 88 look i love sexually frustrated gendry.

modern aus

dream until your dreams come true by crossingwinter this is my favorite soulmate!au, possibly ever. the Soulmate System so creative, and the pacing is killer. 

next time ‘round by rosalui romance isn’t the focus, but the gendrya scenes fucking killed me. this whole fic fucking killed me. A+ humor and this might be my favorite GOT oneshot because goddamn it’s fun

re: weapons (and you) by scrubclub i want to cry in happiness everytime i read an academic!au that doesn’t do teacher/student. THE NERD LOVE IS OFF THE CHARTS. im also a sucker for epistolary fic and this one does it in such a fun way! there’s so many fun details too, like the titles/authors of textbooks

as milady commands by ghostofbambi it’s only 2 chapters in right now, but i’m already sold. reminds me of the hating game by sally thorne in all the best ways. office!au, zippy dialogue!

Mark Lee: Homecoming

Genre: superhero au

Member(s): NCT’s Mark Lee

Word count: 1.5k

Summary: just mark lee as your friendly neighbourhood spiderman

Authors note: very much inspired by Tom Holland’s Spiderman whomst i LOVE and ADORE and very much self indulgent

-So, you all know the drill, bitten by a radioactive spider, get superpowers and suddenly you’re saving Queens from weirdos and saving cats for old ladies

-That was Mark Lee’s life, except well, he’s a high school senior with a secret identity

-The fact that he moonlights as a superhero makes him jittery at school when he can hear the kids talking about his latest romps as “spiderman”

-Part of him is really proud of what he’s achieved ever since that damn spider bit his hand about a year ago but also,,, if his older brother Johnny ever found out that he routinely threw himself off buildings (sometimes even for fun) well,,,, Mark doesn’t want to think about it

-So yeah, his makeshift hero getup was shoved under a loose floorboard of his bedroom floor that he swears to Johnny that it’s fine and they don’t need to get a repairman in to fix it

-Sure,, his outfit wasn’t much, just a hoodie with a spider motif sprayed over it and some lycra pants and shorts worn over it but it was practical and comfy and also very easily replaceable bc he could fish old things out of the junk or at charity shops 

-But after meeting Mr Stark, he got a super cool and exciting new SpiderSuit and it makes him feel very much like an official Avenger even if Mr Stark says he’s not

-Hiding his bruises and scratches from Johnny was extremely hard, especially when he had to come up with more and more outlandish excuses and he just smiles awkwardly as his brother got the first aid kit to wash out the grit from that ghastly cut on his arm

-Honestly, it was such a hard thing to keep a secret from his brother

-He was extremely close to Johnny, who took care of him and is now his legal guardian after their parents moved away and never got in touch with them again, so keeping such an important secret was the WORST thing for Mark

-He wanted to be so truthful to his brother who had sacrificed his whole life and career to look after Mark but he also enjoyed this other, somewhat glamorous life that he really enjoyed keeping a secret, it was something he didn’t have to share it with Johnny

-And as much as he loved Johnny, he was incredibly overbearing and involved in as many aspects of Mark’s life as he could 

-So, he just shut up and let Johnny rant about his day at work or let him fuss over him because that was way easier than trying to convince Johnny that it’s okay for him to be swinging around Queens or fighting Captain America and Black Widow in Germany (Johnny thought he was on a trip to Switzerland with Tony Stark to attend some kind of conference)

-But outside of his “superhero” world, Mark was the most uncool and nerdy kid you could imagine

-He loves physics and maths so much, studying in all of his spare time and making computer programmes and coding in his lunch break instead of going to the school cafeteria

-Thought, if he was being honest, if he actually went to the cafeteria someone would probably trip him up or knock the tray of food out of his hands “accidentally”

-(Not to mention, Johnny would pack him lunch to take with him that he normally he’d munch away at in his classroom, even if it wasn’t the best sandwiches he’d ever eaten)

-He had his enemies, picking on the nerdy, quiet, skinny boy seemed the best thing for the school bullies especially Flash but he was just kind of used to it now,,, besides if Flash ever found out if he was the Spiderman,,,, well,,, he’ll just keep it a secret for now

-But the thing he liked most about school

-You, his best friend ever since you bumped into him, knocking both of your trays out of your hands because you were too busy trying to balance your comic and food tray as you were navigating the cafeteria and you immediately apologised but Mark apologised even more until he saw your comic and got very excited that you read the same comics and since then you had been best friends

-You bonded over comics but you definitely didn’t know that your best friend was the Spiderman whom you ADORED and in actual fact you were a huge fan of the Avengers and absolutely gushed about them to Mark all the time

-Unbeknownst to you, Mark had only just returned from the airport where he made his “debut” in the Avengers thanks to Tony and did in fact kinda know them maybe he wasn’t sure on their actual relationship but he did like Mr Rogers even if he did have to fight him Mark has MAD respect for Mr Rogers

-He just let you gush about your love for the heroes, knowing that you admired him in not just his spidey persona but him in real life too

-It just meant that keeping it a secret from you even worse than from Johnny

-Like the amount of times he nearly accidentally revealed himself to be your favourite superhero was actually so unreal he’s more shocked that you haven’t actually figured it out yet

-But, of course, this is Mark Lee

-The nerdy, bashful, shy superhero with a blabber mouth and easily forgets the details of his normal life when he’s out superhero-ing

-So when he goes out one night, kicking some leftover cronies of the Vulture that still roamed the streets of Queens he swings in to his open bedroom building with a few cuts littering his face

-As he swings in, he rips off his mask and shrugged off his hoodie before trying to open the loose floorboard

-Trying is the keyword here

-Because lo and behold, you were actually stood on the floorboard holding your joint Lego project you’d been working on for weeks (a work in progress Millenium Falcon), mouth wide open as you realise that your best friend is actually the Spiderman

-“Uh… Y/N ? Please don’t drop the Millenium Falcon but uh, hi… I guess you figure it out… I’m Spiderman ?”

-“I hadn’t noticed thanks, wanna prove it?”

-“Um… shouldn’t you be more worried that I revealed my secret identity to you by complete accident?”

-“Shoot a web”

-And he does,,, much to your surprise as he bound your hands to the Lego, accidentally using a bit too much force and breaking some of the pieces off

-But to Mark’s surprise, you’re really not that shocked that he’s crusading as The Spiderman you had been admiring for ages and it really calms his anxiety about this whole situation because if there’s one thing Mr Stark taught him was to keep his identity a secret but knowing that you’re not that bothered and seem more interested in the biology and chemicals that the spider who bit him in the first place and the fact you wanted to meet Thor and Captain America

-With you knowing meant that Mark was way more relaxed and joking around about his nightlife, making everyone around you think that Mark had a badly behaved pet

-And sure, sometimes he rocked up to yours with serious cuts all over his arms and chest and he was so sure that you were going to turn him away and the fact that you kept a spare set of clothes and a first aid kit and cleaned up and made him sleep at yours that night, you soothing him as nightmares took over him

-He would always apologise in the morning and it made your heart break

-“Mark, you’re never a burden to me, if anything… I’m grateful you trust me so much so don’t ever, ever try to hide anything from me… I’m here for you both as Spiderman, but more importantly for you, Mark Lee, a kid from Queens”

-“Thanks Y/N”

-“So when are you introducing me to Thor, it’s been a while and it’s taking a toll on me to keep your secret…”

-“Y/N for the last time I haven’t even MET Thor, so how can I introduce you to him?”

-“FINE, then maybe your precious Mr Stark”

-“That’s more plausible now can we watch The Goonies finally?”

coming up soon will be a bang chan scenario which has been a WIP for ages as i just haven’t had the time to fully invest in it yet :(((

hope you’re all happy and healthy and hydrated! the air quality in korea is super bad at the moment so im trying my best to stay as healthy as i can

love, admin leigh

Rules: answer these questions and tag five other fic writers to do the same

Tagged by: @evanesdust

Author Name: Lasenby_Heathcote (AO3) and Lasenbyphoenix (Tumblr)

Fandoms You Write For: I've completed fics for MCU - Captain America and Agent Carter - and have fics for Teen Wolf, Star Trek TNG, The Sniffer, Lucifer, Pokemon Go, et al, pending.

Where You Post: Ao3 mostly, Tumblr occasionally

Most Popular One-Shot:  Suddenly I'm Falling For (The Buff Guy in 304)

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: A Good Man

Favourite Story You Wrote: uhh... all of them for various reasons. But I guess I'd go with Bets, Blind Dates and Other Bad Ideas (it was the first story I finished) and A Good Man. They are my long fics which meant I could play with the characters and relationships in more depth.

Story You Were Nervous to Post: To All The Men I've F***ed Before. I loved writing it, but I'm still nervous to share it.

How Do You Pick Your Titles: Half of the time I have the title sorted from very early on, usually something pithy that sums up the idea I was going for (like The Secret Life of Pets and Avengers ) but the other half of the time I have no idea until the end when I'm forced to pick something to call it and it usually ends up being something simple and straight forward.

Do You Outline: Yes. So much yes. Often moreso than actually writing the damn thing.

How Many Of Your Stories Are Complete: all of the ones on AO3. I'm much too nervous about my consistency to post ongoing WIPs

In-Progress: as in one's I've actually started writing? I hate to think. I have so many ghosted fics... unfinished poems... and just as many ghosted original works... they haunt me...

Coming Soon: my first Sterek fic! (Not the first I've started but the first that will be completed!)

Do You Accept Prompts: Maybe? I've never been asked.

Upcoming Story You’re the Most Excited For: my Sterek fic (currently untitled). I've been in a writing rut for a couple of years and thanks to the cheerleading from my new discord pals I'm sitting at nearly 12K and still going! Im so happy to be writing again.

Jikook/Kookmin Fic Rec Part 1

(Part 2 Here)

I’ve slowly been building up my list of KM fics and thought I might as well share them with the rest of the Tumblr-sphere (and organize them all because if the rest of my life is a mess, at least my fav fics can be orderly amirite)! I’m somewhat new to BTS and KM so it’s not too big a list, but I’m going to be updating this as I find more that I enjoy :) Happy Reading! 

(most of these are probs old fics because like i said IM NEW HERE IM SO SORRY, but i hope you still find it helpful idk man)

Mostly Fluffy Fics

you are the ruler of the stars (and my heart) by cygnus (sunsprite) | Words: 18k | Jimin reluctantly joins his college’s Space and Astronomy club on the basis of Taehyung’s persuasion. Surrounded by a group of unnecessarily tall space nerds, he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with one of them.

OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO CUTE. One of my fav fluffy fics to be honest. I was squealing basically the whole time i was reading. love.

i’ll stick to you like glue-cose by cygnus (sunsprite) | Words: 7k |  Jimin merely wanted to study in peace, yet a certain five-foot ten frat boy -- unfortunately also a past hookup -- that epitomizes the very definition of smugness in one entire body whose ego is as big and full-scaled as the national debt, won’t let him.

Another super cute fluffy fic!!! i just found this author and the fluff is just so amazingly written and not cliche at all and ugh. JK acts like he’s all suave but he’s really just a big softie and AH. 

friday nights (with you) by kstorms | Words: 24k |  How a random night at a karaoke bar leaves Jimin with two new friends and a frowny, terribly handsome crush.

Anther classic tbh. I think I’ve read this through like four or five times bc i have literally no life and enjoy this VERY well written humor. There’s like zero angst in this and it’s all mostly Taehyung being a very cute little shit to JK (KM is there obvs and they super cute but ya know). Def a must read.

competency at its highest potency by MauveTarte | Words: 10k | State-Sponsored Runs are the excitement of every Alpha and Omega youth.

Or,

Jimin has one final chance at this bonding thing before his life goes to shit.

the one and only ABO fic i’ve read with NO SMUT. that’s right, ya heathens! this one is solely plot driven (and super fluffy). It’s cute af and Taehyung is an amazing friend :)

(my heart beats) for you by sabotagemyheart | Words: 17k | In which Jungkook, as a child, befriends the exceptionally adorable, small and friendless Jimin, not knowing that after a few years, he’ll be wrecking this very boy underneath himself making him whimper out his name.

okay LISTEnn. This summary makes this fic sound a lot dirtier than it is (ok yes it’s smutty BUT there’s more fluff in this than anything else. its so so so cute.)

Mostly Smutty Fics

Studio 2 by Charmander | Words: 20k WIP | Somewhere along the way, Jimin lost that passion he used to pour into his art, watching as it slipped through his very fingers. But street kid Jungkook is all heart and soul, and he’s more than willing to help Jimin learn to burn with the same fire he carries inside himself.

okay so this one is very plot heavy (as is most of Charmander’s fics) so don’t think you’re getting JUST smut. it has an amazing storyline about sexuality struggles and i think a lot of you would enjoy it! (the smut is bomb af tho sooo) 

Starstruck by SugaTheTurtle | Words: 5k |  Everyone is attracted to idols at one point or another. As part of Big Hit’s staff, Jimin really shouldn’t still be as attracted to Jungkook as he was at the beginning. Maybe if he wasn’t he wouldn’t be stuck hiding inside a closet in his dressing room silently praying that the idol was reaching for the zipper on his pants to change into something more comfortable.

ALRIGHTY HERE WE GO LADIES AND GENTS. This is for all you kinky fuckers out there who love pure smut. It was very interesting at first but as it progressed i was like whoaoaa i need some holy water. this fic is the epitome of “well, that escalated quickly” (but it’s still not rushed ??? which like...how?) enjoy! lmao.

Interlude by Bunbungee | Words: 9k | Jungkook has fallen in love at first listen with Jimin’s interlude and he won’t stop until he finds out why he is reacting so strongly to it. His search for answers takes a new turn when, one night, he discovers just how much the song can affect him.

Okay this was smutty, but still SUPER CUTE bc jeon is his typical shy bunny self who’s super oblivious and jimin is just a sweetheart. looooove.

Wet Depths by WorldwideWriter | Words: 10k | All it takes for Jungkook to break is a slightly unfair swimming competition and a too seductive Jimin.

GIVE ME ALL THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS FICS hell yes. I love their dynamic in this one, they hate each other (but they really don’t lol like come on.) and the sexual tension is insane.

everybody’s watching him, but he’s looking at you by jonghyunslisterine | Words: 6k|   In which Jimin formulates a three-step plan to get the hot bouncer to notice him. (Spoiler: it doesn’t go quite as expected.)

okay this is smutty but also super cute so like idk where to put it but jimin wears a thong in it so i think the smut category will suffice. a quick read but so worth it, JK is a lowkey sweetheart.

Blood & Chocolate by MyHope (CutesyMe) | Words: 35k | “What if I only want you to sit on my lap?” the stranger asks, which is an odd request. People always want Jimin to dance for them. Only sometimes do they ask of him to just sit on their lap but event hen he has to move in some way and not just sit still.

“Same price,” Jimin retorts.

Jungkook spreads his legs slightly and motions to his lap as if it’s the best seat that has ever been offered to Jimin. “Be my guest.”

so i don’t really know what to say here but i loved their dynamic in this fic?? i love the way JK treats JM in this ahhhh its SMUTTY AF but he still super sweet and protective.  There’s sooooome angst but it’s not too bad. Good plot.

New Heights by Charmander | Words 11k| There’s no better way to remind yourself that you’re alive than tempting fate from 700 meters above the ground and the searing touch of another’s fingers dragging down your chest.

1000% my favorite smut fic out there. the dialogue written in this fic is so well-done and absolutely hilarious. Sexual tension is CRAZY. love his fics.

give in to the game by cherrygloss | Words: 23k | “Jimin, if you honestly think that I’m going to pretend to be your boyfriend so you can make your ex jealous, then you’re out of your mind.”

im s oRRY, i know this is mostly smut aljfdlkaldfj my thirsty ass has bookmarked so many smut fics but i can’t help it oof. but this is super cute smut with some feeliins.

Nu ABO: A Memoir by Park Jimin by decompositionbooks | Words: 34k | The world didn’t think it was necessary to give him a guide when it shoved all of these omega hormones at him, so here it is, Park Jimin’s handbook to dealing with heats, unrequited love, and Jeon Jungkook.

WOOH another classic! I live for jealous/protective!JK idk its just super cute. my fav ABO fic!!

two sides; same story by namjoone | Words: 12k | Okay, so maybe Jimin thinks his neighbor is hot.

A little.

Okay, maybe a lot.

haha ohhhh man i love mutual pining. they’re both totally dumb at the beginning of this and i live for it. also some hoottttttt ass smut. (bc i need jesus at this point)

Not a Girl by PinkBTS | Words: 8k | Jeongguk isn’t sure what he did in his previous life to deserve this but he probably screwed up big time...he’s kinda grateful though.

A story about Santa, assumptions and thick-rimmed glasses.

AHHHHH  this is so funny and awkward and hot and EVERYTHING. I live for frat!bangtan with my whole heart. 

Downpour by kikistiel (Kikai) | Words: 15k | Jimin doesn’t know what it is. But now, he’s not sure he’s ready for summer to be over just yet.

IM SCREAMING. This was almost poetically good (aka A+ writing oh my gerrrd). It’s kinda angsty too like a bit but its also so sweet i love it :( go read pls.

How to Seduce Your Dance Teacher by Jeon Jungkook by soranosuzu | Words: 5k | Currently there are a million thoughts racing through Jungkook’s brain, but two very prominent ones finally beat their way to the forefront of his mind. First, Jimin is hot as hell and Jungkook needs to find a way to get into his pants. Second (and maybe slightly more urgent than the first), Jungkook needs to find a way to prevent himself from popping a boner every time Jimin does that in the future and, more importantly, right now.

(aka AU in which Jungkook devises a plan to seduce his ridiculously hot dance teacher Jimin)

HELLL YEAH. that is all.

i like how desperate you seem (in the way you look at me) by fatal (cumrich) | Words: 71k WIP | Packs merge all the time. It’s survival, Jimin knows that, but what he’s not prepared for is the attention he’s getting from a certain Jeon Jungkook, the alpha’s son.

yeeesss we got some more ABO up in this biiiiihhcc. It’s not done yet, but i strongly urge you to read!! so goooood and the smut is A1.

Mostly Angst

The Bet by jonghyunslisterine | Words: 46k |  Where Jeon Jungkook makes a bet that he can get the notoriously single Park Jimin to sleep with him by the end of the semester. 

Needless to say, things don’t go exactly as planned.

Yes i had to include this lovely classic :) Still one of my favs and probably always will be *shrug*. I’m not usually an angst person but this is like the perfect dosage for me to handle lol. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you doing with your life honestly go do it lmao.

lost stars by pjungkook | Words: 25k | Park Jimin has another maknae in his life and Jeon Jungkook is completely losing it.

have you ever felt like your heart was being smushed under an eighteen wheeler and your chest was caving in? Yeah that was me during this fic. But it’s sososo good and i promise there’s still fluff (i cannot live through angst without fluff) so READ.

Falling for you again by Rose_gold715 | Words: 30k | Jungkook loses all memory of the last five years of his life.

Jimin is scared he will never love him again.

wow okay so this one was a tear-jerker. you sympathize with both JK and JM but you’re also sort of frustrated with them at the same time?? soso good, definitely give it a read.

serendipity (none of this is a coincidence) by nclnns | Words: 30k | Jimin feels like crying.

Because the boy -- Jeon Jungkook as he had learnt a week ago -- is the exact opposite of Jimin.

And he’s the person Jimin’s boyfriend has been cheating on him with.

or

In which Jimin finds out that Taehyung is cheating on him with a boy named Jeon Jungkook and in the quest to understand what went wrong, he ends up falling in love with said boy.

so i haven’t read this one in a few months but i remember it being one of the first KM fics i had ever bookmarked, so it must have hit me in some way. JK is a sweetie though from what i remember.

On Patrol by Ragi | Words: 129k| Officer Jeon has his eyes on Mr. Adorable. Officer Min has a strange neighbor he can’t seem to keep out of his life. Captain Kim finds comfort in his son’s homeroom teacher. 

Well, cops need some loving too, right?

Okay so this isn’t like suuuuper angsty but it’s also not smutty nor super fluffy either??? So idk where to put it but i think angst fits this most. I also laughed quite a bit during this so it has humor!! Tae is also like an 8 year-old kid LDJAFODJOA (ft. Sope and Namjin)

we’re not broken just bent by calipha | Words 16k | “You’ll die,” Jimin hisses and they’re so close now that his perfect illusion is broken. Jungkook can see his dark circles, can see Jimin’s lips, red and raw from biting.

“I did almost die in this house once, five years ago,” he whispers, watching as Jimin clenches his jaw but doesn’t look away. “I think I can handle more. I’m bigger and stronger now, see?” Jimin holds his gaze for two seconds before it tracks south to move down Jungkook’s body.

MY HARRY POTTER LOVIN ASS IS VERY SATISFIED. jimin is just a misunderstood bb and jungkook is trying SO HARD not to pine ajweklfkldf.

[cryingbilldenbrough]

hey you deleted that fic wip maybe post it again howdy howdy howdy

sigh hey hal thank u for sending this in lmao. ok so i deleted the original post bc im a human disaster but an anon wanted to see a snippet of a fic im currently working on. 

this is an early part of what im refering to as Longfic, an angsty angsty study on what would happen if a few events of the 2017 movie had gone differently. 

California is hot.

Richie still hasn’t quite gotten used to it yet; hasn’t given in to the heat and smog and let it consume him like Eddie has. He still thinks Christmas should be white and fall air should be crisp, not dry and scorching. Eds welcomes the heat and Richie is constantly perplexed by his apparent love of sweat and blinding sun, the way Eddie gets this wide smile on his face when the thermometer reads over a hundred degrees and the pavement sizzles. Their apartment doesn’t have air conditioning and Richie is desperately waiting for the summer to break, for October to bring somewhat cooler air and maybe even overcast skies.

Richie hates when he wakes up and the sheets stick to his body and they’re constricting today. Richie knows as soon as he opens his eyes that Eddie must have left at some point in the middle of the night and abandoned Richie for the living room sofa, because Richie has somehow gotten all tangled up in their threadbare bedding without Eddie on the other side of the bed to balance him out. Their beige bedding is glued to his bare chest and Richie sits up, throwing the covers off, and sighs.

It’s as if Eddie has sensed him wake up because the man turns up in the doorway of their bedroom, dressed and with a toothbrush sticking out of his mouth. Richie straightens in bed and tries to look somewhat alert, maybe like he didn’t spend half the night tossing and turning. But Eddie has always been able to see right through Richie.

“You had a nightmare last night,” he says around a mouthful of toothpaste and Richie rubs a hand over his face.

“I know,”

“You kept screaming his name,”

“I know.”

Eddie looks at him, eyes big and brown and searching, and Richie tries to seem okay. He settles his shoulders and cracks his neck and tries to ignore his aching bones. Eddie must see something in him because he frowns and leaves, the sound of toothbrush on teeth scratching down the hall.

Richie waits until he hears the faucet turn on in their tiny bathroom and deflates, sinking back into their mattress. He reaches up for the side table, a little above him because of the way their mattress sits on the ground, and fumbles for something.

The pill bottle is orange, one of Eddie’s many prescriptions for things he doesn’t need, and Richie doesn’t even read the label before popping whatever it is. He just needs something to take the edge off, to dull his senses enough to wake up and greet the day the best he can.

He needs something that can make him forget the Nightmare.

as u can see, we gonna get Real Sad up in this chili’s tonight. the fic is nowhere near finished but im very excited to share progress with you!!!

Year End Writing Progress Meme

Ahh, I’ve seen a lot of people in the magi fandom doing @dragonofeternal​‘s writing meme, and it looked really fun so I thought that I would give it a shot! This year has been really fun for me in terms of writing, and I’ve never really written much before like, September of this year, so I thought it would be fun to reflect on all of the writing and improvement that I’ve done this year!  ♡

[Here is my AO3 in case anyone was wondering! I write a lot of Sinju while crying I just… I just want them to be happy so bad *prayer emoji*]

Total Word Count: 77,415 -AO3: 61,873 -WIPs: 4,000 -Planning: 11,542

Total Projects: 14 (most are still just planning tho OTL) Magi: 14 (I also have planning for some Arslan Senki and Twin Signal stuff, but that’s the kind of self-indulgent thing that won’t ever get posted and lives at the bottom of my drafts, so I didn’t think it was worth mentioning ^^;)

Types of Fanfic Projects: -Chaptered Fics: 2 -Oneshots: 5 -WIP/Unposted: 7

Improvement over last year: Infinity LMAO I didn’t really write anything last year! I kinda dabbled in Edvy and stuff but… I don’t really talk about that anymore lmao

AWARDS

Top 3 projects I wrote the most for: 1) Melt (49,629) 2) Mistletoe (3,006) 3) Stay (2,386) (I guess it’s pretty easy to tell where all my effort went… lmaO)

Top 3 most popular by kudos: 1) Melt (150) 2) Stay (47) 3) Ocean’s Kiss (31) (tbh I’m like… really overwhelmed with all of the kudos I’ve gotten ghsudfksfsd I was honestly expecting like a dozen odd kudos and a paperclip because I’ve really just.. never posted writing before?? So the positive feedback was really overwhelming and I cry a lot LMAO)

Top 3 most popular by comment threads: 1) Melt (62) 2) Ocean’s Kiss (11) 3) Stay (6) (Obviously Melt won out because… I’ve put my whole life into it lmaO but I was really really surprised that the Mermaid AU did so well?? Everyone seemed to really like that one kdfjsfs so I’m really excited to write more of it in the coming months !!)

Most fun to write: Oh man rfsjdkhgj I have a lot of fun writing in general aaaaaah that’s why I post so much and clog the archive all the time omg I’m sorry? I think the winner is probably Ocean’s Kiss, my Sinju mermaid AU :’) The concept of a mermaid AU has always been very dear to my heart–the first thing I ever did in magi fandom was actually a mermaid AU rp with my friend–so I had planned to write it from the beginning, tbh? It just took me a while to get to, but it’s just so so much fun to write, I think Judal definitely fits the role of troublemaking siren, with Sinbad as his idiot pirate of course :’) god i love them im gonna start crying Sexiest moment: lmao im 15 and inexperienced and really, really not good at writing sexy scenes sorry @ all of my readers who arent minors hgrfudkfhfj but I guess Burn was fun to write lmao? it was masshar and it was supposed to have a blowjob scene but then i remembered that.. i dont know how to write porn.. so it was just needy sharrkan and grinding gudfkjfsdhc but it was fun i guess Funniest moment: im literally not good at any of these hdiufks my humor scenes fall SO FLAT i hate it but i was laughing at myself in the mermaid au because every time judal smacked sinbad in the face with his tail i felt 10 years being added onto my lifespan tbh.. i was cackling ND ALSO in melt any time ja’far is talking to sinbad about judal frsdkjgvhd i liked those scenes.. every time ja’far said shit like “i mean he’s cute but he can’t be here sin” i laughed @ myself Hardest to write: group settings ugh please kill me i hate when im writing and there’s twelve people in the scene like i’m bound to forget 7 of them its just the nature of the beast? exhausting. like every chapter in melt where there’s a festival and all the generals are there is so harD for me *eyeroll emoji* and i have one more festival scene planned so its gonna have to happen AGAIN and im gonna suffer Big Time™ Biggest Disappointment: i vastly underestimated both the size and demand for masshar fic and i was kinda sad when it only got like 5 kudos hrifgj i really thought there was still a masshar ship community but there wasNT and it flopped lmao. but i still like writing masshar and honestly i’d probably do it again tbh? it was still fun :^) Most Surprising: ocean’s kiss hdsufkfgs lmao that thing got comments from people who hadn’t showed up in the sinju fandom for months to years and i was crying the whole time.. it was a fic that meant a lot to me too so the fact that it got so much sweet feedback really made me  ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Favorite story of the year: probably melt tbh :,) i put my heart and soul into that fic and the fact that it did much, much better than i’d first anticipated just made me so happy ♡ its about halfway done now and I can’t wait to tell the rest of it!! i have so many plans I am crying Something I want to revisit: like, half the chapters in melt ghfudeilfjge anD ALSO THE HOLIDAY AUS i wrote them when i was really sad and upset for Reasons so they weren’t as cheery as i would’ve liked :( first snow was cuter because it was posted later and i was happier then but.. mistletoe was written when i was :V about a lot of things so I’d like to rewrite it someday.. maybe next christmas :’)

What writing risks did I take and how did they pay off: I.. honestly didn’t take that many risks? I think the biggest risk that I ever could’ve taken was to write for myself. I really really tried to write only things that made me happy, and I was really nervous as to how the reception of that would be, but it turned out really well!! I’ve got a lot of sweet comments and feedback from readers, and the response was more than I every could’ve asked for  ♡ Writing goals for 2017: my goal is to finish Melt before the end of the school year, preferably before the end of April. I also just really wanna try harder to stick to my freaking update schedule because, like, some people are banging out a solid 7k every week, people with JOBS, and I’m still in high school and I can barely finish my measly 4k by Sunday ghfdklrgjdj. I just need to work harder on time management tbh, but overall I just wanna write more in 2017!

This was really fun to do!! Thanks again to dragonofeternal for sharing their template, I think doing these meme really helped me get my thoughts together and decide where to go with my writing in 2017. I can’t wait to write more for the new year! ♡
