tagged by ko @tofumilanesa for wip wednesday! big shout out to writevember for making me feel like i can actually call any of these works in progressā€¦ your guide to my emoji code under the cut
wip!
šŸŖ»šŸˆā€ā¬› - the doc title is still just. YOWLING but i am like 7/8 of the way done with omega yamo fic and hopefully salem isnā€™t reading this so i can just drop it over a year later with no warning <3
šŸ«ƒ2ļøāƒ£ - DEWEY^2 P2!!!! she is almost done (i am lying) but she is so close i can almost taste it. sorry to my pwp that grew its own feelings baby
šŸ˜‡šŸ¤­ (šŸ•’ -> šŸ•œ) - rip iā€™m not telling you about this one until itā€™s posted but it IS complete aside from being ao3 formatted and the eight billion edits i inevitably do right before full-sending it
ā˜ļøšŸ’§ - cloud petey fic, which exists mostly as an embarrassingly large tag on a different blog and is condensing into a narrative about as well as water at 30Ā° N/S. the time loop fic also falls under this description
eternally in progress (short list)
šŸŒ‘šŸ• - tyler borzoituzzi existsā€¦ there is an index of scenes/plot pointsā€¦ it plays like a movie in my headā€¦
šŸ’Æā•- fantastic! ā€˜verse
šŸ‘ļøšŸ‘» - stevie brandon seeing ghosts au, which has eight different (now nine i guess but you haven't seen the mustache adam post yet) plots. sorry
just. rotating like a microwave
šŸŽ - because they didnā€™t have a pomegranate emoji, this is what i used for the fic that feels like it should be a 50k connor bedard character study hanif abdurraqib/cathal kelly thesis about legends and mythmaking in sports and eating your young. yes i know pomegranates arenā€™t actually pomes and apples are but itā€™s fine
šŸ¦ˆ - the one cat da fuck they doing over there meme but about the sharks just like. in general. more on this at five

that baseball ask you sent (which I'm answering rn :3) made me wonder if Belle or Adam or any of their kiddos ever play sports? or enjoy any? šŸ‘ļø
FUN QUESTION YAY!!! i am going to divide it between canon and modern au because i think about BOTH.
CANON:
adam: heā€¦ does not like exercise at all. he got teased a lot as young lad for preferring to sit in the shade (or inside) and read during recreational time, rather than joining the other boys in activities. now, i did a bit of digging, and actually at this point in time, france wasnā€™t a very sporty place. they were much more into the āœØintellectualismāœØ of it all. and sports were rough and grimy. blegh! even still, the upper class (i.e. where Prince Adam would be hanging, if you can believe it) had lots of tennis, fencing, and equestrian things. i think adam liked Watching equestrian races/obstacle courses/polo matches, (and probably(definitely) developed crushes on some jockeys) but wasnā€™t super interested in Doing those things. he preferred to just ride horses freely, not so much for challengeā€™s sake. but he loves horses a lot so watching them was fun for him :3 anyway, he hated tennis because thereā€™s way too much running and coordination involved and youā€™re usually just standing directly in the sun. disgusting. even if it was indoors itā€™s too SWEATYYY. BUT! i do think he enjoyed fencing a lot! he sees it as less exerting (though it is) and more of an art form to master. and he was pretty good at it! which was a nice confidence boost. i have a fic thatā€™s a few years old but itā€™s when adam & belle are still courting and they FENCE!! itā€™s incredibly adorable. here it is
belle: ACTIVE ADVENTURE GIRL WHO RAN LIKE A MILE AFTER GASTON PROPOSED TO HER????? hell yeah she sports. like i said though, ā€œsportsā€ werenā€™t much of a thing. and especially since she didnā€™t have any friends to play with :( BUT i absolutely think that her and maurice would toss/kick a ball back and forth of SOME kind. you canā€™t convince me otherwise. she always wanted to be outside!! and maurice was with her much of the time!! so i think they played catch. i also hc that he taught her how to swim in the river that flows past the village, and i think sheā€™d enjoy swimming A LOT. when she learns about mermaids she loses her freaking mind and wishes on stars to become one. but anyway, she was as sporty as a french 18th century village girl could be!! she climbed trees constantly (definitely has lots of little scars like giselle!!) and loved to RUN ! she just had (and still has) So Much Energy. she also just made up a lot of silly games that requires running between trees and making her own obstacle courses. and as an adult, as QUEEN! i think she enjoys tennis and plays with either her kiddos or her ladies in waiting. (or just anyone. i could see her being like ā€œhello sir we need to figure out this business thing. shall we discuss over a game of tennis?ā€ and heā€™s just like ??? okay ?? your majesty ???????)
renĆ©e: SPEAKING OF ENERGY! little renĆ©e is just like her mama. loves running and jumping and climbing!!!! but a major difference is they grew up in entirely different stations!! when renĆ©e grows older she gets REALLY into polo and maybe even equestrian obstacle courses - though idk the policies on women doing that stuff at that point >:/ but sheā€™s the princess royal so fuck you. anyway she also enjoyed fencing and tennis when she went to university. (i donā€™t think she was super good at either of them butā€¦ she does her best) sheā€™s just such a horse girl !! so thatā€™s where she shined. (her & adam sometimes go to horse races/shows together,,, bonding time. iā€™m sure belle joins a lot too but sheā€™s BUSY and adam is more willing to play hooky from work, lmao)
juliette: not really a sports girlie. she loves running around and playing with her siblings !! but she wasnā€™t as brave in terms of climbing trees, and she was afraid of horses until she was like, 8 (and even then, sheā€™d only ride with adam or belle). i think her favorite way to be active is either going on walks or swimming :)
maurice: little reecy is much like his mama too, just chaos and running and climbing. he has fun swimming too. he also likes to WRESTLE even though heā€™s not all that muscular. he and his best friend xavier, since they were toddlers, simply attack each other for fun. (maurice also likes picking play fights with adam, and adamā€™s always like sON PLEASEā€” but maurice has already tackled him onto the bed or sofa adjskd) anyway i think it would be so funny if he just absolutely DOMINATED in tennis when he goes to university. like just an absolute legend. they put his name on the plaque in the trophy hall and everything. and whatā€™s so annoying is he doesnā€™t even care about it that much. heā€™s just having fun and making friends. heā€™s one of those people that is naturally good at a lot of thingsā€¦ very annoying but heā€™s so charming and sweet that you donā€™t even care šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø
(oh and, obviously, all the kids are WELL verses in many many many different dances. just comes with the 18th century royal territory āœØ they all took classes and they all enjoyed it to varying degrees!)
okay, MODERN AU!
adam: once again, sports were not his vibe. PE class was a damn nightmare for every possible reason. later on when heā€™s with belle, she Tries to take him on runs or at least to do some yoga or something. and he just hates it manšŸ˜­ ā€œwhy must you TORTURE MEā€ but then it always bites him in the ass later because heā€™ll be groaning from aging and being randomly sore and belleā€™s like ā€œif only you stretched!šŸ˜Œā˜•ļøā€ and heā€™s just like šŸ˜’
belle: sooo sporty as a kid, i canā€™t even decide if she had a favorite. soccer basketball softball volleyball track cross country tennis lacrosse swim team ?? i think sheā€™d enjoy basketball and soccer most, just because theyā€™re the most stimulating and active. but she really did enjoy trying all of them!!! i think cross country was also lovely for her bc she could just run and THINK! in college she probably took a lot of fitness classes (i took kickboxing and spin, which she Definitely would too) and just be at the rec center as much as she could (which unfortunately wouldnā€™t be much, since she was doing two majors and So Busy). and as an adult she probably is always doing some kind of fitness class, as well as going to gyms to swim! and going on runs when the weather is nice (the runs make adam uneasy because WHAT IF SOMEONE KIDNAPS YOU!!!! so sheā€™s like šŸ™„ and turns on location on her phone so he can check if itā€™s been Too Long. also he makes her carry pepper spray. the man worries Okay) anyway sheā€™s always doin somethin <3
renĆ©e: again, like belle, she tried lots of sports!! not as many as her mama, but lots. she also did dance/ballet for many years. like from toddler age to maybe 10 or 11 or so. and that took a lot of her time, but she still somehow found a way to try other sports too. i think of the ones she tried she probably liked volleyball the most. and itā€™s the only one she did in high school. (she focused more on academic stuff anyway, so one sport was satisfactory). sheā€™s still a horsegirl in modern au though and, given their financial capabilities, she probably did horse stuff on the side like polo. i think she always wanted her own horse but it was never realistic, she focused more on other things and couldnā€™t devote her time to it. but she definitely complained about it A LOT when she was younger. looking back as an adult though sheā€™s glad she didnā€™t Have A Horse to care for still. she had her favorites at the ranch sheā€™d go to and that was good enough!
juliette: still not a sports girlie! lmao. PE was Also a damn nightmare šŸ˜­ but she did ballet with renĆ©e for a handful of years as well, and i think she liked taking swim classes, so adam & belle found some kind of swim team club thing for her to join that was less intense than school competitions. (which Really helped her get a tad better at socializing !! but still always a struggle for her šŸ˜ž) anyway i think she still swims sometimes in college, but is much more focused on school and being in the orchestra (we got a violin prodigy over here!!!!) so itā€™s less and less. but as an adult she walks and such. whenever her & renĆ©e can meet and catch up, they go on long walks together :ā€3 and sometimes horseback riding !
maurice: okay reecy ALSO did ballet as a kid, just like his sisters, but he only did it a few years because he got Really Into Baseball !!!!! so he traded his dancing shoes for CLEATS! i think he did other sports too, soccer, track, maybe even tennis to be reminiscent of his 18th century counterpart, but baseball is his love. he may even play in college, perhaps! as an adult i can totally see him being the baseball couch for his nieces/nephews/kids later on. i think heā€™d enjoy that a lot :ā€3 AND heā€™d also be really into hiking. heā€™d wanna be all ā€œinto the wildā€ and go on a solo hike somewhere lesser known but adam 1000% forbid it. ā€œthat boy was an idiot. youā€™re not doing that.ā€ and maurice says ā€œDAD! donā€™t speak ill of the DEAD!ā€ and adam goes ā€œmy point entirelyšŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Øā€ but anyway reece obeys and only goes on hikes with groups of friends and in Relatively Known AreasšŸ™„. he even drags his family on a hike every now and then when theyā€™re all adults! only belle and his partner eloise really enjoy it with him šŸ’” reecy & belle prob do (VERY CUTE) mother-son hikes sometimes though!!!!!šŸ„¹

other peopleā€™s fics: 2022 version
i donā€™t read as much fic as i used to because i suffer from picky bitch disease, and this is not an exhaustive list at all--thereā€™s a lot of stuff i decided to leave out though i liked it very much--but these are a few of the fics iā€™ve read and enjoyed this year. mostly star wars, a lot of codywan (sorry). i tried to stick with fics i bookmarked this year, and the order is the one they appeared in in my bookmarks page on ao3 when i checked just now
what makes it great - jimmytiberius
codywan, femslash, M. a league of our own!au. i know next to nothing about baseball (iā€™d say itā€™s because iā€™m not from the us, but i just. donā€™t care about sports), and i usually have issues with a lot of femslash fic because (even as a lesbian--or maybe precisely because of that reason) it usually feels weirdly preachy and/or very alienating, but i fucking loved this one. very well written, the character work and the pacing is really good. (warnings: period-typical homophobia)
the gunslinger - dead cowboy / @dead-cowboy
codymaul, E. western au. i feel like iā€™m cheating because it was a gift for yours truly, but. well. weird and inscrutable in the best of ways--i really love feeling lost and learning stuff along with the characters, and cowboy is very very VERY GOOD at that kind of thing. also: best of codys. heā€™s so sad and angry and such a huge bitch. i love him. his relationship with maul is SO GOOD. i love the way she writes about codyā€™s grief for rex, and the worldbuilding is so interesting iā€™m very šŸ‘ļøšŸ‘„šŸ‘ļø
one night, a new cartography - elwenyere / @elwenyere
codywan, T. modern!au, based on the queering the map project. short and very sweet and very well written. iā€™ve read it more than once, itā€™s become one of those comfort fics i like returning to whenever iā€™m feeling down. my favourite thing might be the way elwen writes about codyā€™s longing and want, how embodied it feels; weā€™re there with him and with them.
what year was our house built? - brigitttt / @brigittttoo
codywan, E. kind of a ghost story. iā€™ve been a fan of brigittttā€™s work for a while, but this one really fucked me up. i really love ghost stories and haunted houses, and i know way too much about them for non-fandom reasons, and this one has everything i like about them. i donā€™t want to say too much about it; while i think knowing how it ends doesnā€™t take away anything from the story itself, i believe part of the fun of reading it is finding out the truth along with the characters. just read it, itā€™s very good. source: me and my lit degree. (also: mind the warnings!)
six months in a leaky boat - passeridae / @ossidae-passeridae & punkascas / @punkascas
codywan, T. mad max au. very fun very well done transmedia fic. i really love it when modern aus take place in places that are very obviously not the us, and this one is so--fun. the characters are well-developed, and itā€™s very down to earth in a way i found very fulfilling and enjoyable to read, if that makes sense. i havenā€™t had the time to listen to the audio files yet (sorry!) but punkā€™s art is great, as always.
tatami night - actualhurry
jin/ryuzo, E. ghost of tsushima time loop au, and the only fic thatā€™s not star wars lmao. i have issues with most time travel fic (it makes me anxious, or i just donā€™t like the approach, or both at once), but this oneā€™s really good: thereā€™s quite a lot of fic for this game despite the fact that itā€™s a game, and it might be the best one of the bunch. the writer really gets what i like about the ship and the characters and their relationship with each other, and just runs with it. very clever, very satisfying.

hello! for mercy: šŸ‘ā˜•ļøšŸŽµ | for stellan: šŸŒ‹ā³šŸŒŸ
omg hi!! i have a crush on metzli :')
šŸ‘ļø EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magicalā€¦)?
mercy's got gold eyes! to a lot of people it reminds them of a fox, or a coyote. they're basically a monochrome human--gold hair, gold eyes, gold skin, but their eyes are the most striking thing about them. when they were a lot younger their eyes gave away most everything, practically illuminated emotion, and as an adult they're still very expressive, especially in sports coach au. for crime lord au though, mercy's practically unreadable.
ā˜•ļø HOT BEVERAGE - do they prefer hot or cold drinks? what is their favourite drink?
hmmm. i'd say a preference for cold drinks, since they grew up in the american south, in hot, humid climates. huge fan of lemonade. likes a good mint julep. after dying out in space though, they've gotten more appreciative of warm beverages. drinks a lot of tea, like lapsang souchang and jasmine :)
šŸŽµ MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?
mercy lives for music--grew up with a voracious appetite for just about everything, especially the old stuff, and once they hit space they listened to as much alien music they could. they've got extremely eclectic taste in artists. for crime lord au (where mercy is never arrested by anderson and doesn't become a part of the alliance) they launder money through their award-winning record label where they produce their favorite artists :)
got a couple playlists here, here and here!
i very much relate them to this song, which is also the title for their fic collection im (very slowly, oh god so slowly) working on!
šŸŒ‹ VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?
stellan has a long fuse and a short explosion. it takes a lot to get them actually angry or vengeful, and the aftermath is powerful, but not something long-lasting and they don't hold on to it. after they lost their commune family on mindoir, chakwas (their aunt!) took them in and made sure they received a lot of therapy
ā³ HOURGLASS - are they usually late or on-time?
they are a nerd and actually gets to things early. like, at the very least fifteen minutes early. they like to be prepared! when shiala was setting up for their first in-person date (their relationship started through emails and vidchats :') ) miranda quietly informed her that she'd need to tell stellan a later time so they wouldn't get there to early and ruin shiala's surprise
šŸŒŸ GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?
they will always be reminded of the commune on mindoir, of laying on blankets with all their many parents and many siblings, the harvest feasts and the stories their family would tell as they all piled together to gaze up at the star-studded sky above them. they love to stargaze with shiala. post-me, when stellan joins shiala to rebuild zhuā€™s hope, they have a lot of nighttime picnics together :ā€™)
ask me about my ocs!Ā
