#sunshine. falling.

[radioactive-earthshine]

i started to read sunshine falling mostly for thadpreston and when you made very clear it wasn't going to be a thadpreston fic i kept reading because it is very well written :)

however i found it very funny that the first half of the "they finally get together!!!" chapter was mostly thadpreston. i got so engulfed in their plot that by the time it was wrapping up my head was just "what a lovely chapter :)" and when the chapter didn't end right there and then i was hit with an astronomical "oh right the guys this thing is about"

I was threatened told that if I didn't put in somewhere Preston finding out about who Thad and Bart really were, I'd never hear the end of it. The best place for how rapidly things come together after that point was right there.

It was supposed to be a chapter showing many revelations so Thad and Preston had their big moment, and the Kon and Bart then had their moment around the same time. Buuuuut I do see where someone could be like "the fuck is this chick is on focusing on ThadPreston?"

I am glad you enjoyed it! Even if it might be a little awkwardly placed it's one of my favorite scenes.

also i find it deeply funny that in tsc andrew is just kevin’s pet goalkeeper and kevin’s pet monster and “that creepy little goalkeeper” when he takes up soooo much space in aftg in literally every fucking scene. even when he isn’t physically present he’s taking up space on the page because neil won’t stop thinking about him. then u get inside jean’s head and he’s like yeah aaron minyard is uninteresting outside of his outstanding murder charge and andrew is also there

you are my truest feeling yet (i love you so much, it's just like oxygen)

See one of the unrealized beautiful things about Jean and Neil's friendship is that the more they hang out, the more their boyfriends have to hang out, too. Andrew and Jeremy actually have a lot of potential as friends, Andrew actually likes nice people, i think Jeremy is capable of getting Andrew to talk with him, they are both blonde Californians with dark taste in partners, they hate cops, they have weird relationships with their siblings, but they take mental health seriously, and they dont make Exy their whole personality. While Jean and Neil are having a complicated crime filled lovehate, "we are brothers from the same messed up family" friendship. Jeremy and Andrew could actually develop a really nice, uncomplicated friendship where they babysit the others' bf when they are in town.

Is it a stupid idea? Yes. Did I have to go overboard and animate it? No.

But I had to and I'm not sorry ;P

Friday so far...

[radioactive-earthshine]

I am adoring Sunshine Falling but I am curious why Thad speaks in only lowercase. I have never seen that in a fic or even in a book and I think it's really cool. I only wanted to know why and where it comes from.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

As for Thad's speech that is a stylistic decision I made based on the fact that Thad's speech bubbles in Impulse have an added effect around them which suggests there is something going on with his voice that makes it unique.

Impulse #66

When you see speech bubbles with some sort of border in comics generally it means their voice is altered and does not sound "normal". Sometimes it doesn't mean anything and it just is there to separate the dialog so you can tell who is speaking, or to add an impact, but often it is a meant to give the reader an idea that this character's voice might be... off.

So I thought about how do I convey this crawling seething effect of Thad's speech bubbles in a way that is still pleasant to read?

the answer for me was to have thad speak in all lower case letters. no matter the intensity of the situation.

I haven't really described Thad's voice in the fic, and I am not sure if I will really. I myself haven't settled on how his voice differs from those around him but I am leaning towards that his voice is actually somewhat soft and yet droll sort of like Daria.

Thanks for the question.

ordinary things - s.r

in which; sunshine!reader and season2!spencer grab coffee on their way into work.

content: fluff!! idiots in love ofc, reader loveees autumn, no warnings, gn!reader i’m prettyyy sure, barely any dialogue because i’m far too scared of writing something cringy.

a/n: this is my first fic, i’m being BRAVE posting this ‘cause i am SCARED. i hope whoever reads it enjoys it. i’m also aware it is WINTER, but i felt autumn was more fitting, idk. kisses 💋

Autumn, despite the cold, bitter air and dark mornings it brings to Virginia, is beautiful. In your opinion, anyway. That’s why your face lights up at the first pile of leaves you see outside of your usual coffee shop, the red and orange hues bringing a smile to your face. An even bigger smile than the one you so naturally sport, usually wearing it like a tattoo, almost permanent.

You lightly nudge Spencer’s coat clad arm with your own, pointing at the fiery coloured foliage on the floor, like a child who’s just seen snow for the very first time. Of course, it isn’t your first time seeing autumn leaves, but it excites you the same way nevertheless.

“Oh, Spence, look how pretty they are!” You gush about the leaves, your eyes never leaving the pile on the floor beside the coffee shop door. If they did, you’d have seen that Spencer was already looking at you, your light nudge rendered unnecessary to gain his attention. It was yours the whole time.

A faint chuckle sounds in your ears, soft and breathy, delivered to them by Spencer’s lips.

“Pretty, yeah,” he agrees, his eyes trained on you the whole time, never once dipping to the leaves that you’re so captivated by.

Finally turning your head, gaze diverting from the leaves, to look at Spencer, you see the soft smile adorning his face. With a soft nod of his head towards the door, you both finally enter the coffeehouse, Spencer holding the door for you.

The second you walk in, the warmth from the coffee shop envelops you, a nice contrast from the bitter weather outside, and the smell of freshly ground coffee beans fills your nostrils. Oak tables scatter the small shop, red brick walls complimenting them nicely, and small fairy lights hung to complete the warm atmosphere. It’s like walking into a hug; soothing, pleasant, and warm.

Side by side, you and Spencer stroll over to the counter to order your drinks, pleasantries being exchanged between you and the barista because you frequent the shop almost every morning. Once ordered, the two of you stroll over to the side of the counter to wait patiently for your drinks.

—

Coffee in hand, coat and scarf keeping you warm, and a pep in your step, the pair of you walk side by side over to the FBI building. Cars go past as morning commuters make their way to work, the noise a soothing backdrop to a walk to work with your friend while mid conversation.

“I think autumn’s just so beautiful; the leaves and flowers, how even when they’re dying, parting from their vessel of life, are still so beautiful, y’know?” You ramble, walking in step with Spencer to the BAU.

Another soft chuckle elicits from Spencer’s lip, a similar one to his last chuckle outside of the coffee shop. He doesn’t agree with you this time, though. Turning your head to look at him, a nervous giggle escapes your lips when you see him still laughing.

“What?“

“You have the ability to see beauty in the most ordinary things. It’s endearing.”

“Oh. Thank you.”

Warmth flushes your face, despite the bitter air outside and you quickly avert your gaze to the pavement in front of you instead. Spencer always has the ability to say the most profound things and every single time, they make you blush.

He blushes slightly too, when you look away. Maybe it’s the weight of his words setting in, or maybe it’s how pretty you look with your face tinted pink because of him.

Either way, the rest of the walk is continued in silence, save for the city’s background noise.
