#so sometimes it sits in my drafts bc I just draft it instead of posting lol oops

[literaryvein-reblogs]

Do you use AI generators to compile or scrape this information?

no

[dizzybevvie]

boy how do you reblog such great things

been cultivating my dash for years. i also found most of them in my drafts

[izzy-b-hands]

I'm going to do dishes, and when they're done, I'll have a final idea for my zine draft that will be better than the-

*checks gdocs page*

Current five drafts, two of which are over word count so can't be used (but might survive as just. fics I publish on my own at some point if I can get my brain to not instantly feel overwhelmed by the ao3 publishing page lmao)

This will work. Surely.

[annwayne]

Thanks for tagging me @chaniis-atlantis !

How many works do you have on AO3?

12!

What's your total AO3 word count?

81,885

What fandoms do you write for?

Only have Star Wars fics posted on ao3, but I have wips in all these fandoms: Stargate Atlantis, Call of Duty, Predator, Riddick, Marvel, Baldurs Gate 3, Mass Effect, Grimm, Leverage, True Blood

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. The Red Logs: Return to the Temple 2. Humanitarian Aid 3. Ann Wayne's Cute and Spicy Star Wars Art Collection 4. Heightened Senses and Natural Perfumes: Reader Version 5. Cozy Sun Spot

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yeah! If I see them, sometimes I don't get the email and then I don't see the notification till I next go on ao3's desktop website lol Comments are what give me motivation. So I try to respond to all of them to let the commenter know that their words mean a lot. I know how scary it can be to write your feelings out to share.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oh uh. none? I don't really do sad or angsty endings. I don't even have any wips planned to be angsty I just. I like the story to end happy. (though uh, I do know of one wip that will have a fairly sad ending)

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Well, I can tell you know that my Baldurs Gate 3 fic will be the happiest ending because Astarion deserves it!!!!

Do you get hate on fics?

Not so far.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yep! So far it's all been M/F and pretty vanilla tbh. I lean more fluffy and sweet with smut haha.

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No. I don't really care for crossovers right now.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Kinda? We didn't finish it.

What's your all-time favourite ship?

I don't have all time favorites I have current fixations, of which: Astur (Tav)/Astarion from BG3 and Awyn/Eric

What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Hahaha no no no I don't want to admit xD Probably my leverage or mass effect fics. I thought I'd have loads of ideas and would write a ton in those fandoms, but the word docs sit blank. Mass Effect I think was just so complete of a story. I'm not sure there's anything more I want to explore? AU's maybe, but I dunno. And with Leverage, well, I think I just lost steam really fast for that fandom.

What are your writing strengths?

I'm great working in premade world. If there's a world and set up already made for me, I can write in it and write those characters.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I think I write too fast. Like plot pacing. I don't let things sink in.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

?? thoughts, is this something to have thoughts about?? Uh, it's fine? I've got a few fics that use dialogue in another language.

First fandom you wrote for?

I'm not sure... I think Adventure Time? Though that was a comic haha. I know for sure I posted a fic to ff.net for Ouran High School Host Club.

Favourite fic you've ever written?

In the past I could never finish long fics, so I'm really happy I finished The Red Logs: Return to the Temple. Now to see if I can finish a series of fics ToT I also really like how that fic came out. I think there's already a lot I would do to improve it, but it's just such a fun read. I dunno I like it.

MDZS Society! aka: there's a lot less killing than you'd expect

This follows from this post and also the recent translations of MXTX’s most recent interview (which I can now no longer bother to find bc this has been sitting in drafts for like, siiiix months? More? Oh god anyway.) which reminded me about my feelings regarding MDZS society and how different it is from the martial societies we see depicted in typical modern wuxia. (Small disclaimer, I am a wuxia genre fiend and I love like, thinking about fictional societies so this is like, “AHA! You’ve unlocked my trap card!”) 

For the purposes of this, I’m going to be looking at MDZS/CQL’s depiction of the jianghu (which I think is fairly similar! I don’t actually think the show writers made CQL’s jianghu/martial society more genre typical than it was in the book) and comparing that with modern classic wuxia (mostly Jin Yong and Gu Long works.) For this comparison, I’ll be looking at a Jin Yong book — Legend of the Condor Heroes (which is widely considered the starting point of modern wuxia as a genre) — and one Gu Long book — Dagger Li/Sentimental Swordsman, Ruthless Sword (widely considered his most popular work) — and seeing how their societies differ from MDZS society. 

This will likely come in two parts because this one was already getting long, and I don’t think we can fit “how often does nobility exist in a typical jianghu and what do bloodline sects look like normally versus what they look like in MDZS” in this post along with the main topic of “is MDZS society a particularly physically violent place?” 

This post discusses how often cultivators are socially expected to kill people. Like, actual living human beings instead of, say, monsters or ghosts which have been categorized differently than like, human beings. 

EDIT: I forgot to talk about Dagger Li but this was already much too long sorry. Feel free to hmu for more thoughts though.

Now, it might be easy to think that cultivators killing actual people is a really common thing in MDZS/CQL universe! After all, they do have martial arts training and one of the prominent things about the first life is just how many people die both in the Sunshot Campaign and the fallout afterwards. However, I would argue that a lot of the traumas and related issues and reactions that happen in MDZS happen because cultivators are, by training and education, not actually prepared for killing actual living breathing human beings! (And also that the morality of this world prevents it for the most part) 

Now, we do actually get a pretty good window into what the typical training is like for young cultivators in MDZS, because we get a fairly well defined schoolhouse scene where LQR is asking them questions about "how do you tell the difference between various different problems we have to solve?" and "how do you go about fixing this problem?" and none of those include the moral quandary of "if I, a young cultivator out in the Jianghu, see a guy who is doing something I morally disagree with, under what circumstances do I beat him up and/or kill him." This does not appear to enter the curriculum at any point, leading me to believe that the morally correct number of people not like, ghosts or ghouls or fierce corpses, a regular average MDZS cultivator is supposed to have killed is approximately 0.

Which. Is a thing you get in a normal martial arts wuxia jianghu. There is generally the threat of "oh yeah this that or the other faction will be doing shitty things and thereby try to murder you." Instead, in MDZS/CQL most of the heirs of sects are...attending school together. Doing teenage things like partying and gossiping and attending classes.

And sure yes, there was a case of WWX and JZX trying to beat each other up. But the sects did sure let their kids stay at Lan summer camp for months on end (sometimes repeatedly, see NHS) without fearing for their lives or that anyone would steal another sect's techniques or otherwise causing real havoc or intersect warfare etc.

Which is infeasible in any other sort of Jianghu situation. For example, contrast this scenario with this scene from LOCH where Guo Jing's shifus are giving him advice since he is newly 17 and about to set out by himself into the great big world:

Guo Jing therefore bid farewell to his teachers. They had witnessed his battle against the Four Demons of the Yellow River, and were not too greatly worried. The young man had proved that he knew how to use the skills that they taught him. Therefore they let him leave alone. On one hand, the meeting of outlaws in Yanjing worried them greatly, so that they could not ignore it; and on the other hand, a youngster always had to travel the jianghu alone, in order to learn lessons that no teacher could pass on. At the moment of parting, each made their last recommendations. As usual when the Six spoke after one another, Nan Xiren was the last one to express himself. "If you cannot defeat the enemy," he said. "Flee!" He knew that given Guo Jing's dogged character, he would prefer to die rather than to surrender, if he met a master, he would certainly fight to the bitter end, even at the risk of death. That was the reason Nan Xiren gave him this common sense warning. " Martial arts have no limits," added Zhu Cong. " As the proverb says, 'For every peak there is one yet higher', so for every man there is one stronger. Whatever your power, you will always one day meet a foe stronger than you. A true man knows to retreat when necessary, when facing grave danger, it is necessary to contain one's impatience and anger. This what is meant by the adage, « If one preserves the earth and its forests, one does not fear to lack firewood ». It is not therefore not cowardly to take good advice! When the enemy is too numerous and that you cannot face them there, it is especially necessary to avoid being too reckless. Keep in mind Fourth Shifu's advice!"

Does this seem like the sort of advice that any Young MDZS Cultivator would get? "You're a good kid, but when you go out into the world, there will be people who straight up want you dead even though they met you 15 minutes ago, you cannot persist in fighting with these people because they will want you dead and you are a baby cultivator who needs to learn to run away when shit gets rough or you will be dead."

And again I come back to how MDZS cultivators are more like occupational ghostbusters because this really does inform how their society functions and runs and how everyone reacts so badly to the Sunshot Campaign beginning and its aftermaths and possibly explains how JGS could get his way after Sunshot.

Because what happens when you get a society that does train heavily in martial arts and have Able To Kill Real People Weapons who spends most of their time solving very black and white situations of "okay is this ghost whose eating people's livers good or bad? y/n?" and a clear hierarchy of "how do we get rid of the ghost eating people's livers in town x" instead of say "is it morally correct to kill this group of bandits who's been threatening the town" or "is it morally correct to kill this shitty businessman who's been holding people hostage and threatening to hack off their limbs" you have a reduced level of philosophical musing on like, "what is the purpose of martial arts, which is designed to kill people and what do I use martial arts for?" and "under what circumstances and situations would I personally find it morally correct to kill a man?" Which are all questions that Wuxia coming of age stories typically have, and I think MDZS does have, but expressed differently.

Again, it appears that the number of Real Live Human Beings that it is morally acceptable to have stabbed in your life is approximately 0 in this universe, and the expectation that you, personally, might have to fend off people trying to stab you over brunch is also approximately 0.

This also leads to a situation where like, questions of vengeance have very difficult escape hatches! If your parents are murdered on the job by an evil rampaging ghost, this is very sad and tragic and now you're an orphan and of course that's not good, but this is a occupational job hazard, not like, "Yeah Joe Bob from the sect down the street murdered my dad because #Reasons~, and now it's my legacy to grow up to murder Job Bob from the sect down the street to avenge my dad."

(I have a whole essay about how this pertains to both of the Nie Brothers, and how it pertains to JGY and also Jin Ling, and how this seems to routinely fuck people up in MDZS in a very specific way we don't typically see in other wuxias, but this is getting SO long as it is).

But yeah "the socially acceptable number of real living people (instead of ghosts or demons or fierce corpses or whatever) to have killed in your lifetime as a cultivator is approximately 0" means that the Sunshot Generation gets really really fucked up by all of this "killing real people" they did.

Which! might be why JFM was so slow to move on "yeah the Wen are threatening to kill your heirs." <- socially inconceivable behavior. Why society in general is so shocked by Xue Yang and the murder of the Chang <- which would be bad normally but not quite like this. And why no one did anything specific about JGS even if they felt he wasn't entirely correct. What are they going to threaten him with? Death???? A trial of his peers? Social Shunning??? Public shame???

"But Tav how does this relate to CQL!Su She's morality?" I hear you ask. Well you see, the question of "he should've been ready to die for his sect!" is utterly baffling in a society where nobody is expected to be ready to die for their sect on a regular basis because the idea that you should be ready for someone trying to stab you before brunch is utterly nonsensical in a world where most people expect that the baseline number of murders a cultivator does in their lifetimes is 0. That's the world he lives in.

On this regard CQL!Su She is utterly blameless. Nobody handed him a rulebook or expectations sheet for "the sect down the street will try to kill you" nor SHOULD they expect he'd be ready to die at a drop of a hat when no part of the education or social expectations include "ready to die for your sect because it's routine for people to try to kill you."

If you don't even expect to be stabbed and possibly die at a discussion conference where there are lots of cultivators from many sects why on EARTH would you expect to be facing down death in your own home when there's. cultivators here to kill you, this situation is so out of left field?

kazuha nsfw alphabet

i was going through my drafts / planning document for the alt route of the kazuheizou x reader threesome and i realized i posted the heizou nsfw alphabet but didn't post the kazuha one??? anyways, enjoy

~

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Honestly, Kazuha seems like the type to flop down next to you after fucking you so well you'll cry. He definitely feels inclined to wipe the tears off of your cheek. After laying down and cuddling with you, if you express discomfort or exhaustion then, after a tender kiss, he'll get up to go get you something to drink and a damp washcloth.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Kazuha likes kissing and peppering bites all over the skin. I can see him being the type of guy to open your thighs and rub them ever so gently though. I think he likes thighs and skin.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Kazuha probably likes cumming inside with a long term partner, tbh, although I can understand the idea that he'd be quick to pull out because he doesn't want to settle down anywhere. I also have to acknowledge that he wouldn't want to be an absentee father. If he were with a wandering long term partner then I'm sure he would come to possess a birth control herb / tea.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Panty sniffer. Enough said. I have no doubt that he can smell arousal (he's just like me fr). Okay, this might be a hot take on my behalf, but I believe that a part of him would be partly disgusted but also partly intrigued if his partner came so hard they either squirted or peed a bit. I don't believe he gets off on omorashi, but it would definitely be something that stuns him in the moment.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Mildly experienced but definitely not a lady killer, uses his senses and keen observation to determine what is good more than anything else. Even if a scenario unfolds apprehensively and he isn't the CEO of sex, he would most definitely get the hang of how to proceed as the seconds tick by.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary and the one with your back to his chest. Imagine reverse cowgirl but he's sitting up instead of laying down.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

I feel like Kazuha would be a bit goofy, but sometimes he gets really into it and wouldn't think of cracking jokes. If he were to be a tease, though, I think we can all agree that he would make the world's worst puns and cheesy haikus.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I'd figure Kazuha doesn't trim bc it doesn't seem like his type of thing, but he doesn't grow too much hair to begin with so he isn't extraordinarily messy.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Beyond intimate. Kazuha is nothing if not thoughtful and considerate, so he would be so keen on putting his sensitive senses to use. He might even have a hard time getting lost in the pleasure because he's so aware of his partner's presence and his energy is focused on them.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

I feel like Kazuha doesn't get aroused for shits and giggles and that something instead has to happen. The ronin probably gets horny when he drinks or reads a scandalous poem. I might be so bold as to insinuate that he...jerks off...to erotica...hah.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Dear god

Body worship no doubt. Shibari. This sweet sweet boy probably likes having his face be sat on. He gives me service top vibes. I believe that he would also be open to the possibility of a threesome or an orgy. If I were to diagnose him with something a bit out of the box, though, I'd say that he could be a bit into breathplay and and into experimentalism. Look me in the metaphorical eye and tell me that Kazuha wouldn't read some super out of pocket but intriguing shit and then tell his partner: "I learned something interesting today...".

L = Location (favorite places to have sex)

Somewhere comfortable and secluded when sober, somewhere risky when drunk.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Foreplay, teasing, sexual tension building up, yearning after going a while without seeing his partner.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

I can't see Kazuha being into causing his partner physical pain, such as with discipline paddles or welts or open wounds.

I also think he isn't into explicit degradation/namecalling. I really can't imagine Kazuha calling his partner a 'good for nothing bitch slut' regardless of whether he's inebriated or not.

(Side note, if he were drunk, I could totally see him being mocking about his partner being needy. Shout out to that once fic where he calls the reader his 'darling whore' after some drinks. This is the fic!)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

I believe Kazuha prefers to give, and when he receives I feel like he guides a lot. I believe that it isn't difficult to get him off at all, and that once he gets the hang of what his partner likes he adapts to what they need and encourages them to be vocal about what they want.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Sensual, starts off slow and speeds up a bit but miss me with that "thrusts into you at an inhuman speed" shit. I feel like he keeps a steady pace and instead focuses more on other parts of the body to threaten overstimulation :3 Once he's made up his mind about when his partner can cum nothing will stop him from getting there, with consistency and a rhythm being his deadliest weapons.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

I don't think he'd be into quickies.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Kazuha is definitely keen on experimentation, as I mentioned before. I feel that he would also be into risk taking because of the thrill involved. I truly believe, from the bottom of my heart, that Kazuha's mischevious.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

I think he has a short refractory period, so with this he can probably cum 3 times in a session if he takes breaks. I can only really see him getting physically sore if he's fucking a partner in a position where he has to bear all of their body weight in his arms.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind. Listen, the general rule of thumb is that the more someone reads / the more flowery and artistic their nature is, the kinkier and more curious they will be in all facets of their life. Kazuha seems like the type to enjoy collecting little trinkets and delicate things, so I don't really see how this wouldn't carry over to sex.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

The blond's only a tease when the partner is being a brat, but he eventually does give in. He relishes in his partner's satisfaction rather than the control had over them.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Prefers to moan into his partner's ear and be very close to their face. Kazuha will definitely try to keep himself silent by biting into a part of his partner (like the shell of the ear, the neck, even the cheek). I don't believe that he's the breathy type.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

This might not be particularly horny, but I have a feeling that Kazuha is peak 'inappropriate use of vision'. He wouldn't just use his vision in battle; he would, instead, use the wind's grace to get you a fruit from a tree for example. I can also see him being an absolute perv and summoning a gust of wind to upskirt a partner.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Very well sculpted but not ripped. As beautiful as a statue carved from marble. Perhaps from being in the sun, he'd have freckles on his arms and a sunkissed face. Slightly above average dick that, I think, curves to his left. Very sensitive balls--- Kazuha's the type of guy that cries if you lick his perenium and nutsack while you give him a handjob.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

On a scale from one to ten I'd give him a solid six, since there is nothing about him that screams 'WHORE' but there is also nothing about him that leads me to believe he wouldn't be interested in sex. Poets, and creatives in general, are always on the hornier side.

I feel like he can be horny, especially in the morning if he had a hot ass dream, but if the partner is walking around in short ass shorts he won't fuck them on the spot. He would, instead, just step behind them and kiss their neck while hugging them around the waist. After kissing and foreplay then he is ready to go. Kazuha is definitely bolder when drunk but when he drinks too much he just gets sleepy instead.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

I think Kazuha's partner falls asleep first because he stays up thinking about what happened and just admiring their beauty.

drive me crazy

barista bucky x fem reader

words: 1.6k

warnings: lapslock, basically crack, mentions of sex / fucking / kinks, no actual smut tho rip

a/n: inspired by this djdjdnjdmd it's been sitting in my drafts for weeks and i finally decided to just post it bc it's funny to me hehe~ any and all mistakes are mine! feedback is encouraged & appreciated ♡

you're in desperate need of caffeine, dead on your feet after a long week of cranking out as many chapters for your new book as humanly possible to make sure you meet your deadline. so you find the closest cafe and wait patiently in the short line once you're inside. you notice the man taking orders is admittedly very handsome. it's a throw away thought, really, something you think pretty often about lots of people you see in public. he's definitely a sight for sore eyes, though.

when it's your turn to order, your mouth is already opening to greet the barista, but he beats you to it with a raspy, “hi there, doll.”

your already overworked, tired, useless brain comes to a screeching halt as you blink, mouth snapping shut. faintly, you hear him ask for your name as he reaches for a cup with one hand, an uncapped sharpie in the other, but the question bounces off the empty chambers of your mind, echoing hollowly.

“huh?” is your intelligent response.

his lips twitch like he wants to laugh, but instead he simply repeats, “may i have your name?”

“yeah,” you reply breathily, yet offer nothing else. he raises an eyebrow and you jolt with realization, stuttering out your name for him.

he writes it on the cup then asks for your order, which you also stutter through, embarrassment eating you up inside. you think you've just about managed to pull yourself together, making a mental note to never return to this cafe as you rummage through your bag for your wallet.

“is that all for today, darlin’?” he asks, sending you spiraling again.

“i—uh huh. yes. yeah.” you might just have to walk into oncoming traffic. “thank you,” you tack on belatedly.

he offers you a devastating smile. “you're welcome, doll.”

aaaand that's it. yep. this is the ideal moment where you burst into flames. or the ground opens up beneath your feet and swallows you whole. anything would be better than fumbling with your credit card to insert it into the reader like a clumsy idiot. as soon as the transaction clears you scurry off to the side and away from the barista’s presence.

jesus fucking christ.

what the hell is wrong with you? are you really that starved for affection that all it took to have your heart threatening to beat out of your chest was a fucking stranger calling you a term of endearment? you're really that easy?

the second your name is called and you've got your coffee in hand, you head straight for the exit. you can never show your face here ever again.

but then a week goes by and your every waking thought is haunted by the events that unfolded in that fucking cafe. your mind plays it on a constant loop, sometimes in slow motion to really pinpoint your shame. his deep, raspy voice still sends a shiver down your spine, just from the memory of it. and the way he smiled at you could only mean that he knew. he had to.

you don't have a single moment of peace as the days go by and you finally decide you've had enough. before you can even think it through all the way, you're entering the cafe you swore to never return to and approaching the counter with determined steps. it seems to be a slow day, only one other customer sitting at a table in a far corner. you're not sure if you're glad to see the same barista is behind the register, but you suppose it's for the best, since he's the one you have a bone to pick with anyway.

your hands land with a smack on the countertop, startling the man as you seethe, hissing out an accusatory, “you.”

he points a finger at himself. “me?”

“yes. you. what's your deal, huh?” you demand. his eyebrows furrow, but you press on. “who do you think you are, going around addressing people like that? who even uses doll anymore? do you have any idea what you've done?”

he scratches under his chin as he ponders. “uh… no? but i have a feeling you're gonna tell me.”

“you're damn skippy, i am!” you reply much too loudly. “i have a deadline,” you emphasize, “i'm supposed to be focusing on work, but all i can fucking think about is you calling me doll like it's totally normal and not making me a desperate, horny, weak little slut! do you realize i haven't written more than two sentences in the last week? only two! how am i supposed to get anything done now? should i tell you about my praise kink too so you can also use that against me? huh?!”

as your rant comes to an end, you become aware of a few things. first, you hear the lone customer scrambling to gather their belongings and racing out the door. second, you're halfway perched on the counter with one hand fisted in the barista’s shirt. and lastly, said barista is grinning in a way that makes you want to slap him silly.

“i guess that depends,” he responds after a minute, leaning ever closer to you, so close, in fact, that you can see the tiny flecks of brown in ridiculously blue eyes. “would you get more writing finished if i called you a good girl?”

an undefinable noise squeaks out of you. his grin widens.

gritting your teeth, you climb the rest of the way onto the counter, gearing up for another rant with, “you little shit—”

you're cut off by his finger pressing on your lips. you stop talking, but only because of the audacity.

“ah-ah, no. be quiet.”

and your rage builds even more. you're sure that if it was possible you'd be shooting fire out of your eyes.

“before you start yelling at me again, let me speak,” he says, and you just barely contain yourself. “had i known i ruffled your feathers this much i would've left my number on your cup. i regret that now, of course.”

“i’ll have you know my feathers are perfectly unruffled—”

“hush,” he interrupts, calm as can be. your body trembles as you hold back. “we both know that's a lie,” he says, pointedly glancing at where you're kneeling on the counter and your white-knuckled grip on his shirt. “so here's what's gonna happen. i'll fix you a drink, on my dime, and you’ll take it home with you and get back to work. like a good girl. and i'll leave my number on this cup so you can call me when you're finished so i can reward you properly. how's that sound?”

when you only stare back at him, knowing how crazed you must look and wondering if this is some kind of cosmic joke, he raises his eyebrows in a way that screams “well?”

“oh, am i allowed to talk now?” you sass.

he rests his palms on either side of you. “don't be a brat. answer my question.”

you take a deep breath to try and rein in your emotions. “fine. make the drink. but don't hold your fucking breath for a phone call from me.”

he smirks. “oh, is that right?”

“you haven't even scratched the surface of how bratty i can be,” you retort.

he hums, scanning your face. “guess i'll just have to fuck it out of you.”

you sneer. “you wish.”

“you know, i can't make that drink for you until you let go of me.”

with incredible restraint, you release his shirt from your grasp, but stay settled on the countertop. he gives you one last boyish grin and turns to start fixing up your drink.

you watch him silently, the reality of what just happened trickling into your conscience. to say you're mortified would be a severe understatement. the only thing you can do is stare blankly at the espresso machine as he works and you contemplate the pros and cons of moving to a different country and whether or not you could get away with some slight maiming.

you don't even notice him walking around to the other side of the counter until you feel his hands on your hips, sliding you backwards into his chest.

“as pretty as you look on your knees like this, you'll have to come down from there now,” he says lowly, his breath tickling your neck and making goosebumps appear.

you clear your throat, shifting to turn and scoot off the surface, avoiding eye contact.

“good girl,” he praises softly.

you lift your gaze to his, glaring daggers at him. he winks at you, holding out your drink and wiggling it a little.

“here you go, doll,” he says, his smile entering shit-eating territory.

you have half a mind to throw the damn thing in his face. however, you refrain. you force a smile and snatch it out of his hand.

“i hope you fucking choke.”

he laughs. “i'd much rather see you choke on my—”

“goodbye,” you yell, stomping out of the cafe.

once you're in your car you look to see if he actually left his number on the cup, and for reasons entirely unknown, he did. you grab your phone, opening a new text thread and typing out a message.

you: i hate you

asshole barista: you really don't.

you: shut the fuck up and tell me when your shift is over

you: we’re gonna see if you're all talk and no game like i suspect you are

oooh ok LaHoF questions

1. what was the first scene you came up with? (im pretty sure it was . well. the house on fire. but just in case.) (and if it was where did you go from there/what did you think of next?)

2. how did you come up with the idea did something inspire you or did it just spontaneously appear in your mind one fateful day or what?

3. what is your favorite part(s) ?

YIPPEE!!! These are such good questions man

1. The first scene i came up with was actually the tent scene from the first chapter! The fire came next, the rest of it came from me trying to figure out how to link those two scenes and build on the themes and deciding where the story would go after that. I think the deep dark thing was the third thing that came up. Oh, fun fact! The chapter with Wels and Hypno, the one where Wels and Hels have their fight out in the nether, didn't exist in the original story outline! I got to that point in the writing process and went 'no wait there's something missing here' and ended up with that like 7500 chapter which helped immensely with pulling everything together for that bit of the story.

2. Okay. This is the point at which I let you all in on a little secret. At least half of the things I write start off as Zeph storylines in my head. The tent scene was originally thought up as an encounter between Hels and Zeph, bc I was interested in like the idea of what would happen if a hermit were to mistake him for Wels, how he would use that opportunity. Zeph is like my little test dummy I throw scenarios at them and sometimes I take one of those scenarios and extract the themes out of it and go 'oh actually this would be incredibly compelling with this character instead'. Which is exactly what happened with that tent scene.

I had always kind of wanted to explore Hels and Beef's dynamic before this since it isn't explored in canon and tbh is kind of ignored by a lot of fic writers, but this was the only idea I had which had ever really compelled me in that department. It was like watching the puzzle pieces all fall into place at once it was great. The fire also came very naturally. I've always had an association between Hels and fire, and the idea of him burning one of the hermits' bases has always kind of been living rent free in my head bc of his whole 'I am going to destroy this place and everything you hold dear' mentality. It's something that's bounced around in Zeph storylines, and a series of dreams I had a few years ago that a few old followers might remember me posting about, but this was my first good opportunity to put it to paper in a way that was narratively fulfilling. Something about the season 10 setting just really lended itself to this narrative and I don't know how to explain it but it is quite literally the easiest a fully formed storyline has ever popped into my head in my life.

3. The chapter 3 deep dark scene is so everything to me. The fire as well is obviously beloved in many ways. There are a million little character moments i could name that drive me personally insane. I actually fucking loved writing Beef's dream flashback to the cloning machine from the fire chapter? Something about taking the actual events and dialog from his video and recontextualizing it was so satisfying. I love artistic recontextualization!!!! Then there's a chapter coming up soon. That i am very excited to write. To say the least. I've had a draft of the dialog sitting around in my notes for months. There is an illustration already done for it that I can not wait to post as well.

Tell Other People About Your WIPs

make a list of all your WIPs with a brief description of each and then people can ask you questions about them and then tag other people.

Tagged by both @onekisstotakewithme and @miabicicletta 💜💜💜 Thank you, guys <3 I don't know who to tag that hasn't been tagged already. Interested? Tag, you're it! :) (Please do know that there are no set sections. Pick whatever you want. I went the deranged route.)

I have an outdated WIP list, and many others unaccounted for. This is just a selection of stuff I could see myself posting or editing/retooling to write something new. I love talking about my WIPs, about as much as I hate being perceived because they are not remotely interesting. (I also love knowing which ones people are interested in! I have an incentive to work on them!) (Instead of snippets, part of my feedback loop is sending actual rough drafts to get a sense of whether it's worth working on more.)

Multichapters, different levels of completion.

S5 Pregnancy AU. My main WIP. Can you believe I’ve had this idea for a year… almost to the day? I’ve been stuck since November bc I don’t know how I want this one to end, beyond a birth. (As I’ve mentioned in the past, I feel like this has legs to become a fluffy universe. I have ideas! Timelines!) Gist of it: CJ gets pregnant circa Zooey's kidnapping. How does it change S5? It's less angsty than you think.

Campaign bars, aka campaign conversations sometimes happened at bars in the 1998 campaign. Fun stuff. I need to pick it right back.

What Once Was Ours or the IM AU (2021), aka IM ends with a breakup. Not a WIP. Not a UFO. A secret third thing. (“Finished” but not edited, and I’m doubtful people would be interested. Probably bc of some bittersweet ~memories~ attached to it. I mean, I shared a third of it to discord and people couldn’t care less, at least after a while. Now, better IM AUs are being posted these days; I'm not in a rush.) 33 chapters. 150k words. I do reread it every once in a while, and I cannot put it down. But its 'age' takes me aback. If things had been different, I'd have posted this in H2 2021/Q1 2022 (or even the planned Q2-3 2021). But alas.

The “Almost Ready, question mark” Category

Another SVD prompt meme claim: what if CJ has the crush first. The thing is, I tend to write her as having a relatively obvious crush on him at first until something makes her wise up. So this is just some ridiculous, post-first-meeting thoughts. Most of it was written in one sitting! It kinda fits with something in the campaign bars fic, too.

Post birth, hospital story: A couple of hours after their bb girl is born. Pure fluff. Recently reworked it to make it less wordy. Still failed, but it’s better focused now.

Many ficlets – the few I did post on Tumblr that haven’t been posted to the story I’m collecting them in, plus a couple more. I'm thinking the ice skating one, Jan 22, a few post-eps I wrote last year, etc.

Ambitious Projects I don't think are happening right away (or ever), but probably have a detailed outline somewhere

(I put this up instead of last, because the next category has faves, but it's also a long one.)

Danny is back a bit earlier on s7. Toby leaks (or tries to leak? I always wavered) the shuttle to him, as he and CJ are getting closer.

Simon lives. How does his relationship with CJ evolve post-honeymoon phase? What is it like when Danny returns?

You’ve got mail AU. This outline had two ways the climax could go. I had fun.

Epistolary collab (?) fic. Probably an X + 1 fic. The only one with nothing written; don’t rule out writing it individually at some point.

And because this is so long already (but not as long as it could be)… A few more under the cut – more "I just want to make sure I like them" and "this meme reminded me I meant to pick those back up." And they are still not all. (How do you summarize seven years of writing?? I've only posted 20-something of them, lol.)

“Almost Ready (but I feel like I want to make changes to them) (might just redo them altogether)”

Haunted by the Notion, 2007 edition. My beta Ruth suggested this when she edited the other story, and I wrote it around then. It’s another Christmas dinner at Filomena, and, eight years later, things are different. I feel like it hits expected beats, and is just missing some oomph. Maybe. (As much as I do like it, half tempted to make it 2009. Or later.)

Heaven’s here…: A interrupted proposal. I’ve written many proposals over the years, and I love toying with different ideas and setups. Danny takes the lead here, but I’ve been intrigued by the idea of having CJ do the final twist.

5 to 6 am 'me' time. Another story inspired by last year’s rewatch that I wrote right at the start of it (so Jan 2023?). It has five short parts with five different years of what CJ describes in the pilot as her “me time.” This is one when I think one per year would be fun, but I don’t want to repeat myself.

One bed, “sexy” edition. An AU to a sort of AU (one of the drabbles from this summer) and… it's what it says on the tin. The world does not need to read my attempts at smut. If I didn’t put it in the previous category, it’s because I am not sure that I want to post it. (All the previous attempts are locked somewhere; unfortunately, someone loves this one and noticed when I tried to do that, lol.)

First baby kick: I remember writing this while in grad school (so, late 2017? First half of 2018) but I lost it, along other fic, when my laptop had to be reset because I used Bear to write back then, but didn’t have sync across devices. I rewrote it, and I feel like it's not the same, but still. It's sweet! Includes: Danny talking to the baby, domestic fluff, and… baby kicks!

“This meme reminded me they exist and I love them, so don't be surprised if they are posted before anything in a previous category”

(Lbr, if I added something about them in this post at all, it’s because they sparked some memory.)

Mosaic broken hearts: CJ, circa S4, jealousy. Prompted by a former fandom friend, back in my productive era (first half of 2021; before that friend just ghosted me.)

I can’t believe I captured your heart (pancake breakfast, three words and eight letters). For a while there, I edited it so much but then I fell off. iirc, it was part of some morning-related prompts I saw around that I tried to fulfill in 2018? 2019? And they had like internal progression. But this one was the best of the 3-4, and I kept tweaking it.

Green light of forgiveness (IM-ish) — there are many other IM/IM-Tomorrow snippets I’ve written over the years. I’m not sure if this one makes much sense, but I liked it enough.

Distance — I recall liking this one! Might have to bump it up. CJ is in Africa, Danny is at the Farm and sulking because they left off on some sort of argument. There is some Danny-Abbey friendship goodness here. I even have a second file that is “Distance - shorter version (it’s not)”

Danny writes fiction, shows it to CJ during her pregnancy and she’s into it. Technically written. I would probably try to take another stab at it. Third time might be the charm?

San Andreo phone call/fallout from ID. I just had the idea of CJ reaching out once things calm down. This is one of those fics I’ve written a version of every year or so, but I think there was one I liked quite a bit.

Terrible taste in men — a run-in with an OC ex of CJ. It was so dumb.

Fka Impatience - actually beta’d three years ago (by that fandom friend I've mentioned twice before… actually, three times) and “done”. I just think I’d change so much about it these days. It started being something else but ended up being a CJ-Toby friendship story in which they have lunch and catch up. But I would want to rewrite most of it now, and not just because it’s from like… 2019 (but finished in 2021).

I forgot this one initially! he's passing by, rare as the comet in my sky - 2? 3? times CJ thinks she sees Danny somewhere, and one time she does. (Which tried to work in the 'I remember shunning you' line.) I even wrote some sort of sequel later! Probably useless.

I said I would post a lightning round with fics that are either also done but not ready for me to mention them, or just… not done at all. The length of this post and how much I've spent on it is embarrassing. To give a general overview: in line with the nonsense I've been mentioning, includes phone calls at the end of S7, also a few friendship-focused fics around that time, too; present-day stuff; anniversaries; Hollis fundraisers; weddings; many ficlets, introspective thoughts, a “yes day” fic that's super sweet but needs better dares, the third memoir idea (the original one!!!!) that I had three years ago… And those are mostly the ones I had preselected, lol.

If you're interested, I can screenshoot this part in the notes app if you message me!

Anyway, this is embarrassing, and the worst part is that it's not all. fml.

[aroaceamyrosearchive]

Idol AU?! Who all is involved?

okay so me and @max-iwtaco have been brainrotting about it yesterday but we're trying to include as many characters as we can think of XD

THIS ASK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRAFTS FOR MONTHS NOW I THINK. ANYWAY

i wanted amy to be the main character bc like. look at her...

but okay so let me summarize what we talked about

-sonic and shadow both debuted when they were very young under competing labels. sonic does a lot of solo singing and rapping stuff, plays guitar, and dances (he specialized in breakdancing which is poggers), meanwhile shadow sings (he can do screamo if he wants. as a treat) and dances (he specializes more in interpretive type dance). theyve always been rivals, releasing albums around the same time and fighting for all the awards and stuff. and dont get me started on idol sports champio ships-

-so amy's dream has been to be an idol, and she took a lot of inspiration from sonic!! so she uses her tarot cards like in canon and it tells her to audition for the same label as sonic is under (tho im debating what to call it) and she does and makes it in!!!

-eggman runs a company. the one that team dark is under. team dark is a band with shadow on vocals and bass, rouge on vocals and electric guitar, and omega on drums. lets just say they have to buy new drums every performance.

-sonic also has a band with knuckles and tails, where he plays guitar, tails is on synthesizer, and knuckles is on drums.

-amy becomes a soloist but cream comes to all of her shows. she has special permission backstage to see her and be her emotional support. also they sometimes let cream on stage to sing a little song and the audience loves it. cream also has a kazoo

-knuckles's dad used to be the head of their company but knuckles inherited it. or something

-tails is a HUGE music theory nerd. he loves math rock

-amy dabbles in music composition (bc im projecting)

-tails and sonic knew each other since they were little and sonic would play guitar for him and tails started learning bc of him and then he got REALLY into music theory and became a big nerd. sonic cant actually read sheet music lmao

-sonic joined the company under the condition that tails joins with him and tails was so cute that they couldnt say no

-since knuckles takes care of the whole company now he doesn't actually perform concerts that often but when he does the audience goes WILD. you never know when youre gonna see knuckles. it's a gamble every time. on the times knuckles cant come play drums big will come to play instead

-big doesnt ever actually show upto practice bc hes too busy fishing. he just shows up and plays the concert and then he's gone again. froggy plays the cymbal

-froggy gets put on the concert posters and big doesnt bc big just shows up. froggy is the star of the show

-sonic raps while knuckles beatboxes. tails tries to rap and its adorable

-cream is the first to listen to amy's demos and comes to support her at the recording studio

-this quote from Max: "ALLSO she would give advice like "everything sounded VERY COOL but it would be even cooler if you added like DUMM DU DUMMM YDHVVJ TXFHVJJV at the end""

-blaze does classical music and plays the violin. silver does techno style stuff. they collab a lot and sound amazing together

-silver is super into composing and posts his stuff on bandcamp. he's not under any labels or anything

anyway. i love them

[starlightkun]

genuine question, how do you write so fast? 😭 i feel like you’re so quick with your works, both writing and putting them out!!

also i found your tumblr on ao3 and i have to say that you are carrying nct fics on ao3. i hope you never stop writing cause i could be 40 and i would still read your stuff 🫶

i think a big thing has been getting out of my head abt writing! like i only write when i want to, i don't stick to word counts (minimums or maximums), and i dont compare myself to other writers (not that i read a whole lot of fic anymore, but there's a few that i still keep up with and one of them churns out fics way faster than i do, and another who posts like maybe two or three times a year but i still love them!) like i've def said this before, but for me, writing fic is fun, it's something i do bc i want to and if i open a word doc and i'm genuinely dreading it, i'm not gonna do it (my adhd brain simply will not make me lol--tho that is a double edged sword bc i do have to chase myself into doing something i like sometimes, but the ritalin has helped a lot xx)

i also dont go into my fics completely clueless anymore. like, i for sure don't know everything, i learn a lot along the way, and tend to change stuff (and get surprised by my own fics, which is always fun!), but i definitely have more of an outline and general sort of sketch of the fic in my brain and in my word doc before i start actually writing real scenes of any sort, which has definitely helped. like, starting with one little idea isn't bad at all (strawberry sunday literally just started w the fact that i liked the title of a song that i hadn't even heard yet and it turned into like 10 fics??), but i dont just start writing head empty anymore (i used to get a tiny spark of inspiration and try to write everything start to finish immediately because i thought i'd lose it if i didn't, and it'd burn really short. now i sort of just sit with it and slowly tend to it like fire instead and it lasts a lot longer and gets a lot bigger). i ruminate a lot before anything that looks remotely like a story leaves my ideas doc and gets its own doc

idk if this necessarily makes me write faster, but i also edit as i write? like, sometimes i open a fic and i don't have anything in me to write, but i'll reread what's in the draft so far and edit, make little changes, fix continuity errors, etc. not only does it keep the whole plot so far fresh in my mind as i continue writing, but then i have a lot less to proof myself when i finally finish the whole thing because i've already caught a lot of spelling, grammatical, and plot errors! i used to find editing a slog to do bc when i finished my first draft i would be so excited and wanted to just post it! and didn't want to reread all this stuff i just wrote several times to try to find typos, and now it's usually a breeze bc my first draft isn't really my first draft, it's been continually revised as it was drafted. and sometimes i open a doc, won't feel like writing, tinker around with some editing, then suddenly have a lightbulb moment while i'm editing and jump into writing

[nightmarevore]

hi! i'm getting into writing safe vore oneshots and i was inspired by a few of your works and reblogs. for years i was really discontent with my writing, but when i revisited some of your stories today, i noticed how similar your writing style is to mine, and the fact that people enjoy your content made me confident enough to complete a draft and plan a new story. i wanted to know if you make drafts and revise them? do you just publish the first draft? do you get help writing or editing them? 1☆

WAAAAAAAAAAAAH I;M SOBBING THIS WAS SUCH A NICE SERIES OF ASKS TO COME TO YOU'RE SO NICE TO MEEEEEEEE omg gomgo gomgomgomgklgkgfkjngfjbjdk i've never been complimented LIKE THIS or asked extensively for my process, this is new to me!!! you're wonderful and kind and i appreciate you.

i'm gonna have to make a readmore here as to not clutter up everyone's dashes to tell you my process/thoughts so HERE WE GO!!!!

i actually have only one fic i get edited and it's a non-vore fic, a very close friend of mine edits a fn.a f fanfic i'm writing based on w/illi.am a/f.to/n. i don't ask them to edit my vore stuff, but they do know i'm into vore. i actually write all my fics in a google doc!

i'll typically actually write as i go entirely. i have a rough idea of how i want the fic to go (who's in what, who does what, an event i need to happen, etc) and write along that rough guideline in my head. i write completely in order, or else i can't make it flow well together. sometimes i'll write what else may need to get done or else i may forget.

i'll consider things i decide to change as i go along "the first draft," since i went with something entirely different. for example, in one of my drafts for a wip fic, i chose to have luke, in the serial killer, panic and size-shift to half size and have the fic end with a half-size hurt/comfort vore from luke and rowan. instead, i changed it so luke is dazed but has time remain his current size and pull rowan out of his pred instincts taking over and have cuddles afterwards and vore when they got home, luke still the same size.

though adhd and autism get in the way at times—executive dysfunction is a bitch. a lot of things i have written, like a luke and rowan serial killer fic, as well a a fugue state william fic have been a WIP since February of this year—literally when i BROKE MY FOOT and was stuck in a reclining chair for a month. i keep telling myself i need to get to them, but then i see ffxiv and hanging out with friends and just decide that's a better way to spend my time at the moment. i've been in a huuuuge brain fog for a few months bc of this, the recent one shot i posted was actually made because i was speaking vore feelings i had with medli.

i definitely have an easier time writing when i'm specifically fixated on vore, luke and rowan, william, mike, etc.

i'll write when i'm hyperfixated, and my brain pushes me to write more when i'm at work rather than at home, because adhd classifies work as something i need a distraction from, and home as chill time. i'll write on my breaks or when i have a moment to myself to sit and hide.

i'll tell you right now, i get SOOO many ideas and have at least 10+ wips, including f./n/a,f, luke and rowan, and ffxiv characters.

when i write, i'm mostly writing from my heart. exactly what i'd expect to think, feel, and hear. i put myself into the perspective/mind of the characters i'm writing and can get deep into these fics as i write them. i get so interpersonally connected to my writing as i'm writing that i physically feel my character's emotions, and see them in my head exactly how they play out.

honestly, i'm not too sure about tips on how to get out of making yourself write when you don't feel like it. i've gotten frustrated with myself for staring at my documents for too long and not being able to write anything. i imagine the scenario in perfect detail, and then i'll sit down, stare at my work, and i'm like ....???????????????????

i'm actually trying to open up to my therapist about getting medicated so i can have an easier time writing/creating for you guys! hopefully soon.

i hope this kind of gives you some insight to my process, please go forth and create and never be afraid to share. <333

this ask means a lot to me!

[neonsbian]

hi vinnie <3 since you’re like my resident writing oomf i gotta ask: do you have any tips on motivating & inspiring yourself to write and get through a writer’s block? seeing you post about your writing is so inspiring but i’ve been struggling for months now rip </3

hmmm tbh i dont rlly have a good answer for you other than teach yourself self-discipline. ive been writing for almost a decade (crazy to think abt lol) and in that time ive basically had to teach myself to commit to writing.

writing is just like any other artform, it's a skill that you build gradually by practicing consistently. the best way to do this is to come up with a goal in your mind and actually work towards this. i don't mean like, deciding you want to write a novel and just writing right away (though that does work for some people) but building steps to slowly achieve that goal.

let's say you want to write a novel. great! the first thing i would do is find time in my schedule to write. a lot of people assume that means sitting down for hours at a time and just typing away but finding time to do that in todays society isnt easy and personally, it's more effective for me to find gaps and short moments to just write for a bit. for me, the most writing gets done when im constrained for time. and you don't have to do it all at once! you can write a little bit at different points of the day too.

i also plan what im going to write before i write it. this doesn't mean i outline necessarily (i don't do that until the second draft) but before writing a scene, ill have a vague idea of what i want to happen in that scene. sometimes it changes as im writing but i never go into writing without a vague idea of what's going to happen.

i think setting a daily goal for yourself is really important. i know writing everyday seems kinda daunting, especially if you didnt do that before but like i said, writing is a skill you build gradually by practicing consistently and you have to be consistent. your daily goal can be a certain page count, word count, or chapter count. whatever works for you. i personally don't rlly like using quantifiable units as my daily goal bc that makes me like check the word count obsessively and prefer to use story markers as my goal instead. basically, i decide before writing i want to reach a certain point in the story by the end of the day. sometimes im in over my head and have to adjust, but it's more useful to think abt it that way for me.

also, if you're just starting out, i would make my daily goal relatively simple and easy to achieve. if word count is how you're counting it, then i'd set it to like 500 words. you might feel frustrated with how slow your progress is but it's more effective to slowly build a story than to write a huge chunk in a short amount of time and then never touch it again. and even if the progress is slow, at least progress is happening!

i know a lot of people have said this but you're also gonna have to allow yourself to write badly. i feel like this something that's difficult to implement into your mindset but it's essential to teach yourself this or else you'll never get anything done. shitty writing doesn't mean you're a shitty writer, it just means that your writing needs more work and the only way to achieve that is by working on it consistently.

i also personally think it's helpful to read the writing processes of other writers and try doing them yourself. lauren groff, for example, writes her entire second draft from memory which sounded absolutely insane to me but i tried it for one of my short stories. that method didn't really work for me but from her method helped me improve my own system. basically for scenes that were in the first draft but were going to be changed pretty drastically, i don't open my first draft at all and just write the scene. every writer's process is different and what works for one writer isn't always going to work for you, but it's still worth a shot to try it and one way or another, it'll help you understand yourself as a writer better.

to me, writing is self-discipline as much as it's art and building a system that works for you is going to take some time but it's necessary to achieve what you're hoping to achieve.

this ended up being longer than i expected but tldr: set a goal, do it everyday 👍

[enamation]

SHORT STORY UTC !!

You had come over to Tsukasa's house for the evening, wanting to show him a new artist you had found. You excitedly sat on his bed grasping your phone as he closed the room door and glanced over at you with a smile filled with love, before walking over and sitting next to you.

You quickly typed on your phone, searching for the artist to have him listen to a few songs. This artists' inspiration is also for people to smile, so you thought he would like this artist since they have the same goal in mind. As Tsukasa listens to the songs, he is quiet for the first minute or two, listening carefully. You can't help the cheesy grin that soon appears on your face as he sways along, eventually getting up and dancing.

He pulls you up with him and you guys move and dance along to the beat. Soon enough, everything seems to fade out except him, both of your laughs, and the music in the background. You really enjoyed these moments with him as you both could bond and laugh and sing and not give a care about anything else in the world temporarily. You both fall in unison on the bed, chests rising and falling quickly as you try to catch your breath. He still can't help but giggle at the redness of both of your cheeks, and the happy sounds of your laughter.

❝ Moments like these are amazing to share with you. Thank you for being here, my muse. ❞

It’s WIP Wednesday and I wanted to post smth for VCPiS but I’m going to be posting the next chapter within the week so like what would even be the point of a preview of that, so instead here’s the first draft I wrote for when Izuku and Hitoshi meet face to face for the first time, which has since become a deleted scene.

This was originally set way further in the story, back when I thought I was going to be sticking closer to the canon Hannibal timeline (bc Izuku is Margot in this lol), but I’ve thrown much of that out the window, so their first meeting will happen much sooner and go quite differently than this. Originally I’d decided that the two of them would call each other their screen names until they got to know each other better and each of them would suggest a nickname that, unbeknownst to the other, was their hair color. I couldn’t remember what the Japanese word for “purple” was, and y’all when I tell you I fucking gaped when I looked it up and saw it was “murasaki”. I felt like it was fate or smth.

For those who may not know what I’m talking about: in the books Hannibal is raised by his aunt and uncle after his family dies, and his aunt’s name is Lady Murasaki (iirc no first name for her is ever given. It’s likely she’s named after one of the main characters of The Tale of Genji, Murasaki no Ue, sometimes translated as Lady Murasaki, or possibly the woman who wrote it, known as Murasaki Shikibu, though given the orientalism in the Hannibal books, it was probably the former). Considering other synonyms for purple (violet, indigo, etc) are all fairly popular first names for girls in Japan I felt even without the meta implications (Hannibal was in love with his aunt lmao) that the best purple nickname was Murasaki.

Later on when I was drafting their earliest chronological interactions I came up with the idea of Izuku having helped Hitoshi choose the characters for his name, and if that happened it would make more sense for Izuku to call him by the name he chose rather than continue to call him that nickname by the time present day of VCPiS rolled around.

So yeah, this whole bit won’t make it into the final fic but I keep the drafts of the things I write bc I’m a hoarder at heart, so I hope y’all enjoy this :3

What're you up to? he asked Midori.

Waiting to see my dad-ordered psychiatrist lmao, Midori replied with an upside-down smiley face. Fucking kill me

Hitoshi snorted. No, you have to suffer life like the rest of us.

My *real* best friend would shuffle me off this mortal coil >:(, Midori shot back.

If *I'm* your best friend I think you have more issues than just the daddy ones.

Pleeeease Murasaki just stab me, it'll be less painful than having to talk about my ~feelings~ ಥ_ಥ

Depends on where I stabbed you. Hitoshi shoved his phone in his pocket and opened the door to Hizashi's waiting room. His secretary was on honeymoon, so there was no- oh. There was a guy with curly green hair sitting there looking at his phone. Well, there went his plan of a quickie in between Hizashi's appointments.

He sat a few seats down from the other guy, who looked up briefly to acknowledge Hitoshi was there before turning his attention back to his phone.

Stab me in the heart like you just did with your words you heartless bastard x.x

When did this turn into Romeo and Juliet?

As if I'm not old enough for you ;P

Hitoshi felt his cheeks go red. And I'm not enough of a pretty boy for you, he shot back.

I'm sure you're plenty pretty!

I have eyebags big enough to hold all *my* daddy issues Midori, I'm not what you'd call "pretty".

Pff, they can't be any bigger than the ones on the guy who's sitting here with me. There was a slight delay, and then a picture loaded.

Hitoshi stared in disbelief at what was clearly a side shot of him, slumped in the waiting room chair looking particularly exhausted as he stared down at his phone. He whipped his head up, eyes wide. "Midori?" he demanded, voice cracking partway.

The green haired- fucking midori, holy fuck – guy's head shot up, with a particular deer in headlights look in his eye. "Huh?" he said intelligently.

"Midori," Hitoshi repeated, incredulous. He held his phone out, screen facing away from him. "Dude, what the fuck?"

The other boy squinted at the screen before those big green eyes got even bigger and his jaw dropped. He looked at Hitoshi, gaze flitting up to his hair before he squeaked out, "Murasaki?"

"You have fucking green hair, of course that's why you chose your contact name," Hitoshi groaned, grinning exasperatedly.

"Like your hair isn't purple!" Midori giggled. He got up from his seat and hauled Hitoshi in for a tight hug. "I told you that if we ever met IRL I'd give you the biggest hug, didn't I?"

Hitoshi chuckled, hugging Midori back just as hard. "Yeah, I remember."

He heard Midori gasp. "Oh my god." Midori pulled back, his eyes wide with glee. "Murasaki – my therapist is your sugar daddy."

Hitoshi went bright red. "Shutthefuckup!" he hissed, slapping a hand over Midori's mouth, who started to giggle. "He is not my sugar daddy!"

It was at this point, of course, that Hizashi's office door opened. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Nope!" Hitoshi quickly removed both hands from Midori's person, which did not go unnoticed. His friend gave him a Look that Hitoshi returned with a scowl.

"Just catching up with a friend Yamada-sensei," Midori explained cheerfully.

"Oh?" Hizashi looked between them. "I had no idea you were friends with Midoriya-kun, Hitoshi."

"Really?" Hitoshi asked, deadpan. "Your screenname is a goddamn pun?"

"Like you're one to talk, Insomnyac," Midori retorted.

Hitoshi retaliated maturely by sticking his tongue out at him.

"I will hug you again, and that is a threat," Midori said, a devious gleam in his eye.
