#so you can feel free 2 ignore it lol <3 but would be sooo honored if you beta read the fic......its almost done only a chapter or two to go

[deathlonging]

hii apparently im so so fond of sending asks to mutuals and forgetting i ever did so. sorry. obsessed with how meagan is trying her hardest not to fall into being a weapon again but it never quite takes bc she's still convinced that's better than who she is now......miss rodrigo voice will i spend all the rest of my years wishing i could go back >:) horror of wanting to live not just survive but getting forcefully thrust right back into one of the worst things thats happened to you AND having them want you so bad. she did it scared !!!!!!

just saw that there's a monster in the hull update and realized i'd missed three of those........this + the audio are such treats giggling and kicking my feet about it fr. going to leave a comment on the fic itself but in the meantime needed to drop a letter on here to say i love the way you write billie--her loneliness, her thoughtfulness, distrust of yet attraction to emily and everything she represents........not to mention the way she's haunted by daud, the longing for a life she can't fathom and will never have !!! society if everyone gave billie the complexity she deserves. and your banter and prose are stunning as always lord everything abt this fic is so good. bringing wine to you on the deck to drink together about it in spirit and yes pun intended

🙏😭 thank you so so much I don't know what to say! that's amazingly kind of you ♥ its a genuine pleasure to like. double down on themes and nuance and less popular characters and just like. idk. trustfall into the fandom that there's people with taste like you, and you can invite them onto your metaphorical deck for wine and meaningful looks 🍷♥♥♥

re: billie - no one else in the dh universe comes close to whatever she has going on

hiding my thoughts about writing dh2 billie >

there's so much material to her!

i thought i'd never write for dishonored 2 (not derogatory - its my favourite game). its undoubtedly linear & doesn't have the mystery or grit of dh1 IMO.

but i saw lapin post that billie & emily comic, and i saw a few other people i respect mention billie/emily and it had me rotating them until the abjection/emily-monster thing clicked and then it was downhill from there

but there's more to think about - what billie has been doing with herself, how she feels about daud & the whalers at this point in her life, her relationship with sokolov (god.a separate rant), her history in karnaca & dunwall, emily's place in the empire and how that fits into billie's story, her lifelong revenge arc, and comparisons between jessamine & deirdre.

like. when you consider billie's perspective you realise how fucking badass she is for going back to dunwall. she not only did it scared she did it scared for her life. suicidal level flimsy disguise trapped in a tin can with your enemy. etc

PLEASE tell me if you ever decide to post that daud & billie fic you mentioned a while back :O

responding to feedback

a couple days ago, i posted a google form asking for some feedback on my social media au, apartment b23, and wanted to reply to some of the responses i received. these aren’t all of them, but just ones i wanted to respond to!

1. how do you like the story so far?

thank god no one picked yellow or green DJSDJ but i think you’re just all very nice ,,,,

2. when reading social media aus, what do you prefer?

based on these responses and where i want to go with the storyline, i’ll likely be adding some writing in upcoming chapters! it seems half of you are okay with that but others said that they would still read it if i added writing, so i will try to keep the writing to a minimum :)

3. what do you want to see more of? (ie. jeno x reader interactions, apartment b23 gang interactions, haechan, interactions with lia, drama, comedy, etc)

HAECHAN!! HAECHAN HAECHAN HAECHAN. Jeno kind of annoys me ngl :/ ik he’s the main character but damn, he really needs to up his game. for now we supporting yn x haechan.

LOLOL this is so funny because there were so many people supporting haechan,,, all of y’all love him. i mean, i do too but there’s a reason norenmin don’t hang out with him anymore 👀

ok tbh i really wanna see norenmin x hyuck and find out the tea,,,, hehe but let's also get this love triangle bread because we LOVE TO SEE THAT and also reader and lia interactions because lia best girl

speaking of the TEA there’s lots and i’m ready to spill it eventually hhhh. some people said they have an idea of what it might be, so i’d love to hear your theories as to why 00 line have broken up </3 and YES LIA best girl, get you a friend who wakes up at 3am to hear you rant

funny stuff,,, i guess?? and also reader bonding with rj and jaemin

i’m sorry, i’m not funny djdjsj 😭 the amount of times i’ve messaged mutuals like,,, “hey is this funny” AHAH i try

i want to see more of the little things that shine thru a character. you’re a really good author though that aspect (and most aspects) but i feel like the social media au part is slowing it down (like only showing one side of a character making it seem a bit boring when i know this storyline has it in for my little, mushy heart). a quick lil under 1k (or 1k) will help show the fluidity the characters have within themselves through its further description (or maybe a secret spam account that opens up on their feelings on the same feed 👀). this might also show some unpredictable things that you wouldn’t normally thing would fit into their character trope

this was actually really insightful for me! i get how a character can feel redundant so i definitely want to explore more of each characters’ background and personality. thank you for this! i actually considered a spam account for y/n but i’m scared for her because the amount of times i’ve posted accidentally on my main rather than my spam,,, embarrassing

4. any additional feedback? suggestions?

idk i guess...a bit more detail? like we barely know anything about the friendship dynamics of the characters and ik the rest of the boys are side characters but it would be nice to see casual conversations btw them. or then randomly tweeting @ each other. just to make it seem more real yknow? sure the story is centered around jeno and y/n but that doesn’t mean other characters should be ignored 🥺🥺 add more tiny details!! it’ll help bring your au to life.

ahhh yes i totally get this! i do really hope to expand more on the characters and their friendships, and once we get past the issue of y/n moving back in it’ll definitely be more prevalent, the way that all 4 of them (+ haechan) interact.

lol make this a hyuck x y/n fic and leave all of us dumbfounded pls 😔💞

you’re not the only person who said this AHAHA it’s so funny.  y’all: wanting hyuck instead of jeno me, knowing what happens: 👁👄👁 

yes queen you go i love you mwah take your time with updating! please don't stress yourself and i, as well as all your readers with not just apartment b23, wanna see you happy, healthy, and stress-free! <3333

aww thank you this is really sweet! i’ve been disappointed with myself because i have been falling behind, originally i had the first ten chapters queued and ready to go so i have to work on building up the next few chapters to stay ahead <33

Apartment B23 is one of the best smaus I've read and it's not even completed. I really look forward to reading more hehe <3

hhh thank you so much omg this is my first time doing an SMAU sooo i don’t think i’m that great but i’m honored 🥺

Some chapters are pretty short ik your very busy and pls dont overwork yourself just snth I noticed Love you 🥰

yeah, this is because of how i like my chapters formatted, there needs to be either 6 or 9 pictures happening and i don’t want to start something that can’t be finished or understood within a short amount of time! for example in chapter thirteen i wanted to include a part of y/n talking to renmin but i didn’t think i could fit it into only three pictures! but thank you hhh i’m trying to not overwork myself aha. love you too!

Hmm. Maybe Jeno being more lenient on his rules?

i mean, he kinda has to now unless he wants another issue to go down ,, then we will all beat him up AHA

I really love ur work!! please continue on writing!!goodluck on ur future stories!!mwah💞😽

this is really sweet, thank you! and thank you to everyone who has read and supported so far, and especially to anyone and everyone who partook in this survey. thank you! it’s really opened my eyes and given me insight on what the readers want to see, so i will definitely take those things into consideration <3

A Change in Attitude Ch 4

Ch 1 , Ch 2 , Ch 3 Pairing: Fem!Harry/Draco Malfoy Word Count: 985 A/N: Sooo, I promise that Draco will show up again in the next chapter... This one is just like. Idk not about that lol. Enjoy!

Hari barely managed to stay awake through history, but Ron wasn’t as lucky.

“Come on, ‘Mione, let me borrow them?”

“Ron, seriously, if you want to pass History of Magic, you have to at least attempt to stay awake. I swear.”

Hari snickered at their bickering, and led the two of them to the library. They quieted once they passed the threshold, but continued talking. Hari dropped her bookbag into a chair, then left to search out Madame Pince.

They really need to make a better layout in here. You could get lost in here for days.

She finally reached Pince’s desk, which was surrounded by stacks of books that had seen better days. She knocked on the smooth, faded wood, knowing that speaking would be ill advised.

Madame Pince emerged from her office, looking harried. Her shoulders immediately dropped at the sight of Hari. “Ah, Hari. It’s lovely seeing you,” she began, her voice soft. “What are you looking for today?”

“I’m hoping that you’ll have something on charms that can make words unintelligible unless you have the counter-charm, and maybe a few books on past Triwizard tournaments?”

“Of course, dear. It will be a few minutes for me to find them, feel free to mend a few books if you’d like.” Hari smiled, then approached one of the stacks of weathered books.

Since second year, Hari had been coming to the library on occasion, and had started a strange sort of relationship with the generally sour librarian. After the first month of Hari haunting the shelves, Pince had approached her, asking why she had been alone so much. That had been just after everyone thought her a would-be murderer and heir of Slytherin.

Eventually, Hari had begun quietly chatting with Madame Pince, helping her mend the books that had either been damaged by students or their age. She even gave Hari access to the restricted section so long as she showed Pince the books that she was checking out, as to save the young twelve year old too much mental scarring.

Hari considered them to be sort-of friends. Madame Pince was actually a rather lovely woman, who cared deeply about the education of the students, but the fact that so many students over the year had simply used the library as a place to whine about their studies had turned her bitter. As such, she hardly spoke to any of the students, considering them to be just another student uninterested in knowledge. Hari felt rather bad for her, since being a keeper of knowledge used to be such an honored position.

Hari picked up a dusty tome, one whose title was unknown due to the cracking along the spine, as well as the front cover. She pulled out her wand and murmured the charm that would re-bind the spine. The book in her hand was titled Healing through the Ages. Hari then used a charm that cast a faint yellow light over the cover of the book, causing it to mend back together and become darkened again. On the cover were various herbs that were common in healing potions and rituals. It would probably be an interesting read if she decided to learn more about healing charms.

She set the book on top of Pince’s desk, then moved to the next. She repeated the process, and saw that this book was called Rituals for Samhain. This book would most likely be withdrawn from the library or placed in the restricted section now that it was readable once more.

“Hari, there are quite a few books on the tournament, so I chose a selection of them. As for the charm type you were looking for, I only found two books that could be related to it.” Pince had around fifteen books floating behind her, which landed on her desk in three neat piles. “The two here,” she pointed to two books, “are the ones related to the charm you were inquiring after. And the rest of them are about the tournament. I separated them into two piles, based upon what they focus on. These,” she pointed to the smaller stack, “focus on the rules of the tournament, while these are more on specific tournaments themselves.”

Hari smiled, then cast a levitation charm on all three stacks of books. “Thank you very much, Madame Pince. I’ll make sure to return any books that I don’t check out.”

Pince gave a slight nod, then turned her attention to the two books Hari had restored.

Hari walked back to where she had left her friends, who were still quietly arguing, even if they had moved on to the subject of their most recently assigned potions essay. She carefully set the books down on the table, and pulled a notebook out of her bag.

Hari had ruled out seven of the books on the Triwizard tournaments, and sent them back to their places with a quick wave of her hand. The remaining five seemed to be somewhat useful to her, with one being an in-depth rulebook, and the other four going into detail on the specific tasks that had been used in the past. She had been doing this for at least twenty minutes, when finally, finally, Hermione and Ron acknowledged her return to the table.

“Oh, Hari, you’re back.” Hermione looked at the books that were left on the table, not believing that Hari would get so few for such important research. “Why aren’t there more books here?”

“Because not everyone needs the entire library to research something…” Ron muttered.

Hari ignored him, choosing to answer Hermione. “I had more, but they were useless to what we’re looking for. Only two of them are related to what we came here for, the rest are on the tournament itself.”

Hermione still looked a little conflicted, but figured that Hari knew what she needed. “Well, let’s get to work.”
