👾 Do you have any "bad" writing habits you want to break?

Probably making excuses about waiting for the "right" writing conditions or inspiration to strike, rather than putting in the effort to establish a regular writing habit. In 2025, I'd like to make writing a priority again. Also not finishing what I've started! 2021/2022 showed me I still have the ability to finish things when I put my mind to it, I just need to work on my discipline!

🦷 Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're dreading to write (but is necessary to your plot)? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Oooh good question...probably anything longer than a one-shot, because it's been years (decades, even!) since I attempted to tackle anything longer than a single scene or that required more than one chapter. I do have ideas for a bunch of longer, multi-chapter fics that I really want to bring to life though, even though the additional planning and time commitment involved feels intimidating (sometimes TOO intimidating). Things like my "Nihlus lives" Garrus/Shepard/Nihlus AU, my "What Comes After" post-ME3 Shakarian epilogue, and my ME OC couple Caius and Kate's story, which takes place around roughly the same time as the trilogy.

All I have is a bunch of random, disconnected snippets from each so far, but here's two short snippets from early in Kate and Caius's story.

“What’s your name?” “Caius,” he said, dazedly. He was starting to feel light-headed. Probably from the blood loss. Or maybe from the shock. “Nice to meet you, Caius. I’m Kate.” She smiled at him. “You’re going to be alright, Caius. I just need you to keep talking to me, okay?” “Okay,” he said. “I think I’m just going to rest my eyes for a bit.” He closed his eyes, shutting out Kate’s concerned face and the bright blue false sky of the Presidium behind her. His consciousness felt light, untethered. Maybe he’d just nap until the paramedics arrived.

“You shouldn’t be out of bed yet,” she scolded him. “I’m starting to realise that.” He swayed on his feet, reaching for the wall. She caught his arm and pulled it over her shoulders, letting him lean on her. “Turians are the worst patients.” She sighed. “Come on, let’s get you back to your room.” She was much smaller than him and from this angle he could only see the top of her head. Beneath the strong antiseptic smell of the hospital, he caught a whiff of some kind of pleasant floral scent from her hair. He couldn’t put a name to it, but it reminded him of the flowers that grew near the Human Embassy on the Presidium.

💥 Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

I'm really looking forward to jumping into writing for Veilguard and specifically Lucanis/Rook. My favourite kind of stories to write are those "missing moments" in between what we see in canon and I think Veilguard (and especially Lucanis' romance) has a lot of potential in that regard. I have a bunch of ideas already, but here's a snippet from a WIP involving

Caution!!! Veilguard spoilers!!!

Caterina's reaction to Lucanis' romance with my Crow Rook!

“My grandmother asked to meet with you.” “Mmm.” Rook closed her eyes and tilted her head, smiling, as Lucanis pressed a kiss to her neck in greeting, his lips lingering over her skin. “Sorry, what?” “Caterina. She wishes to talk to you. About us.” Rook’s eyes snapped open and she turned to stare at him in shock. “You told your grandmother about us? Are you crazy?” He held his hands up in denial, shaking his head. “Not me. It was probably Teia, she and Caterina are close.” Rook groaned. “I had no idea Teia wanted me dead.” Lucanis chuckled and stroked her hair, tucking it behind her ear. “My grandmother isn’t going to kill you, Rook. She just wants to talk. She wishes to ‘meet with the woman who thinks she’s good enough for her grandson’.” “You don’t know that,” Rook countered. “She probably has a contract out on me already.”

🛏 Is there a new trope you'd like to write this year?

Do threesomes count? Haha. I have a bunch of poly ships/OT3s, but I've never actually written a threesome. I really want to write some Davrin/Lucanis/Rook though because I think the chemistry between the three of them is amazing!

Send me asks from this writer goal asks list if you want!

Along came the newly minted Black Widow. The first time Ro had dropped the rifle into his hands, he buckled under the unexpected weight. Just as heavy, just as powerful, but the recoil was dampened, or so she claimed. Alliance-designed, meant for human use - surely something a big, strong turian could handle. Garrus fired the rifle, and wondered what the hell kind of humans the Alliance was training. 

tagging @milkywayes and @shepsfishtank !!!

"Skin under the plates expand. Plates retract to compensate." He swept his foot out to try and knock her backwards. She reacted, but not quite fast enough. Off balance, Garrus threw a jab right at her chest, and when she tried to deflect he ended up making contact with the flesh part of her arm. She sucked in a deep breath through gritted teeth. "Pretty simple environmental response."

Sooooo I'm back on original work. That said, its space dragons and the last thing I wrote is about smooching a space dragon. So here's a few lines:

Their next kiss was rougher, and Faye licked his lips, seeking entry. His mouth parted and she brushed her tongue against his much longer one.

Nox cupped her face with gentle talons, rocking against her as their lips met. Faye broke away and trailed sucking kisses along his jaw before a large, clawed finger tilted her chin and he was kissing her hard and deep, as though he’d been doing it his entire life.

I'm shy when it comes to tagging people. Consider this an open invitation to share your WIP. =)

@ashenlavellan tagged me to create some Aesthetic Boards for my OCs.

I've decided to create two - one for Cerys Ryder and one for a new Ryder called Sage.

"They say follow your heart, follow it through

But how can you when you're split in two?"

- Face to Face (Siouxsie and the Banshees)

Sage Ryder // Love Lead Fortune

"You're not just a girl, you're more like the air and sea.

I want you so desperately and nothing's gonna keep us apart."

- Not Just a Girl (She Wants Revenge)

Comm for @squigglysquidd

<3333

[squigglysquidd]

In the middle of moving into a new home (the Squigglysquidd fam are homeowners now!) so writing updates will be sporadic.

I plan to hopefully start posting Jux chapters onto Ao3 very soon. It's a case of getting a bunch of chapters rewritten, then edited, then up for regular postings.

I'm holding back my original fantasy just because I have some ideas I might change around before I want it released. You know, things like worldbuilding and such.

I really look forward to yall's reception of whatever I may end up posting to the world!

[archangel-kazz]

10 things for 10 people you'd like to know better!

Alright, so @luciferbacon tagged me. I really appreciate it! And I'll do my best to share with you all!

Last Book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (but I also started reading the Blacksad comics by Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido. Both are highly recommended!)

Last movie: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy! Will never get tired of watching it!

Last TV show: The Office

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: A little bit of all, but definitely enjoy the sweet more

Relationship status: Still single

Last Thing I Googled: Destiny 2 fashion ideas

Current Obsession: I'd say WH40K, but there's definitely a lot of other stuff: like the new ME game, Destiny 2, my favorite ME dorks in love (Shep and Garrus), other ships I like, Destiny 2, etc.

Looking Forward To: That's another long list, but for now I want to go to another concert after just going to my first concert ever (Baby Metal, Slipknot)

Last song: "Would You Fall in Love with Me Again" for EPIC: The Musical (I just heard it on IG, and I swear it was like an angst bomb to the face for a Shakarian fic!)

Tagging: @vakarianshepard @milkywayes @squigglysquidd @topaz-carbuncle @dispatchwithlove @ballofbitter @olivethemushrooms @ladynyxeris @callista-curations @serendipitys-teapot

I'd tag a lot of people, but well, the name says only ten haha!
