Beneath the Moonlight (Update: 7/22/2021)

Title: Beneath the Moonlight. Fandom: D. Gray-Man. Pairings: Yulma, Laven. Words: 190.4K+. Tags: Fairy Tale Elements, Fairy Tale Retellings, Mutual Pining, Action, Drama, Romance, Royalty, Class Differences, Angst with a Happy Ending, Canon Elements, Swan Lake AU. Chapters: 26/29. Summary: As tensions grow and a string of mysterious attacks occur across the land, Kanda struggles to balance his responsibilities as both an exorcist and the sole heir to the throne. But when things begin to get a little more dangerous, he’s forced to step down as an exorcist, focusing entirely on the drudgery of advisor meetings, royal obligations, and a potential (and unwanted) courtship.       Nothing is ever simple, though. And things get even more complicated when the stable boy he’s fallen for is ripped away from his life, a terrible darkness threatening to destroy them both. (Swan Lake AU)   Chapter 26 Excerpt:

Tokusa’s eyes flashed as he glared at Kanda coolly. Purple light sparked around his hand. Kanda tensed. “Where’s Alma?” he asked, voice low. Tokusa wavered, but his frown returned. “You’re playing with fire by being here,” he said. The words caught Kanda off guard, if only for how normal they sounded. The akuma’s voice wasn’t raspy – he sounded like a normal person. But the fact remained that he was threatening Kanda and ordering him to leave. And Kanda couldn’t have that. Mugen’s blade illuminated. “I’ll ask one more time,” Kanda repeated. “Where is Alma?” Tokusa sneered. His hand sparked once more. “Doesn’t matter,” he said. “He doesn’t want to see you-” Kanda charged forward, attacking the akuma. He swung his sword through the air as several translucent insects were released, Tokusa jumping out of the way. The akuma threw a blast of dark energy, the impact causing Kanda to skid back. Tokusa glared. “Don’t be stupid – get the hell out of here!” “Fuck you!” Kanda ran forward again, readying another attack. He wasn’t going to let this akuma scare him off. He wasn’t going to let it keep him from finding Alma. Tokusa blocked as Kanda swung his sword, his right arm turning hard and stone-like. He gritted his teeth as some of his flesh cracked, but visibly wavered, his attention shifting as he looked behind him. A flash of alarm appeared in his russet eyes, the akuma turning back to Kanda. “You’re going to make things worse if you don’t leave – you don’t know what you’re dealing with!” Kanda sneered. Was this akuma seriously trying to scare him off? It wasn’t going to work – Kanda wasn’t going to run back to the castle like some dog with his tail between his legs. He was going to stay and he was going to fight. “I’m not leaving without Alma,” Kanda snapped as he pushed the blade of his sword against Tokusa. “Now tell me where he is!”

VENOM TIDES. a wip by mythwords

GENRE: High Fantasy

POV: Third, past tense, multiple POVs

SETTING: in multiple countries and seas in ALTHEA, a technologically advanced world that is otherwise similar to 1700s France. PORT, where the rich live protected inland while the poor fish in slums. LAVEN, where the working-class toil in fields so the upper-class can eat mere bites of their fancy dinners and throw them away. the JEWEL SEA, where monsters roam the depths. the BOILING SEA, where the elder god of creation was said to have collapsed to sleep. the GOLDEN SEA, where the biggest mermaid settlements are rumored to be hidden.

INCLUDES: visibly lgbtq and disabled characters, found family a lesbian main character, pirates, capitalist greed, magical illnesses, tales of elder gods, magical creatures, ghost ships, lost princesses, a cult, a lost society of mermaids, disabled characters

SUMMARY:

A mermaid washes up on the shore of Port, a fishing family paid worth their weight in gold to keep the first sighting in centuries under wraps. People in the slums bordering the Jewel Sea are exploding from sheer magical energy, and the mysterious illness causing it is beginning to creep inwards towards the more affluent cities. Nobles are finally worried enough to begin contacting Captain Kaimara.

The crew of The Vengeance are known to do any job, if offered the right payment, and when an anonymous contractor pays that price, Kaimara’s biggest fears are revealed in bold print, laid out plain as day in the details of the case. Important people have it in good authority that the Cult of Apherion, spearheaded by her father, is back in action, masquerading as a deep sea mining company. Their goal? Find the bodies of the Elder Gods said to line the planets core, and poison the mermaid cities said to have angered the Gods into slumber.

Greed and ignorance come with heavy consequences. It is up to the crew to dissuade them as much as possible.

CREW:

KAIMARA: Captain of the Vengeance. Can be found working on the mechanics of the ship, creating new weapons for her crew, and tinkering in her workshop. She’ll rally behind anything with sad enough eyes, but tear it to shreds if it betrays her. Grew up in the cult, but stole a ship and escaped when she was a teenager. Has women falling to her feet all over the world, but is too dedicated to her crew and her adventures to leave.

ELWYN: Shapeshifts between various sea creatures, but her resting form is the most innocent, sweet girl you’ve ever seen. Identifies as genderless, in spite of her female body. Will fight anyone, any time, and win. Easily. Wants to learn everything possible, so she helps to cook, research, do mechanical work, and train.

BARRETT: Former soldier, dishonorably discharged for refusing to kill an innocent civilian. Lost an arm in battle, but has a sick prosthetic that Mara made for him, so he doesn’t mind much. Except for on rainy days, when it hurts more than normal. Then it bothers him a little. A cynical, mistrusting, fight-picking, bitter asshole. Secretly, would protect his crew with his life. Also, a petty thief. Only from the rich, though.

IVY: Found passed out on the back of a legendary sea creature, she’s got a gap in her memory centuries wide. Of a mermaid warrior race, who can shift between their tails to human legs at will. Blacks out sometimes and appears days or weeks later, covered in blood that isn’t hers, but refuses to take lives while lucid. Can communicate with sea creatures. Blind on land, but can see perfectly in the water. Wise, quiet, grizzled old woman, but fiercely protective.

WISTERIA: Half-siren, and extremely cautious because of it. Was gifted (yet cursed) with good luck from a sea witch after saving her life; the drawback is that the bad luck is diverted to those around her. Grew up in the cult, but didn’t know Kaimara until she was sent to lure her back with her siren song, refused to, and ran away. Panics during close combat, but the sharpest shooter you’ll ever meet, with no qualms about killing those doing harm. Believes in true love, and every superstition she’s ever heard.

OSIRIS: A healer that gives his energy to fix others. His services were rented out by his father to the Cult starting when he was a small child, leaving him with permanent hearing loss, and a sickness that won’t ever fully go away. He was found huddled in the closet of a ghost ship, with partial memory loss. Most of the research for cases, and plans of action, are made by him. Makes his own hormone medicine, because he is trans and loves to flex his intellect. Also, makes killer soup.

LOTAN: Party boy prince that is their man on the inside. Royalty in Laven, but hates his corrupt family, he feeds them information when he can, and has connections all over the world that help in cases. He’ll flirt with anyone with legs, but he’ll only go home with the men. Always a party on board when he comes on missions with them.

Have you seen the head cannon where Kiri is the dragon Blasty has in the new bnha ending? (Love your work btw)

That’s kinda hard to miss, is it? Everyone and their grandmothers are making fanworks for it haha which I’ll be forever grateful for, actually, dragons are my #1 weakness and the more dragon!Kiri I have the happier I am (best version of it I’ve seen yet is syb’s but lbr she’s my fav artist and I’m weak) (also requirings has an ongoing comic series with those premises!!!! I’m living for it)

Anon said:Hey I loveeeeeeee your bnha fusion au and I was wondering if bakugou and midoriya's fusion is so unstable why do they even fuse in the first place? Sorry for bothering and thank you for being so great!!!

I mentioned this in the tags under that specific post already, but I guess repeating it won’t hurt, so! It happened during the End of Term Exam! (this is gonna be spoiler if you’re only watching the anime) All Might put them in the position where they ended up being forced to try, but it lasted less than 30 seconds before they broke apart - to set in somewhere in the canon exam... after Deku pulled Bakugou away but before their combined attack. Like, when they were coming up with a strategy to take All Might out they first tried fusing, but it just didn’t work and their time was too limited to try and force it.

Anyway if they were to try again now they’d probably last way longer, but at this point neither of them has felt the need to give it a try just yet haha 

Anon said: Mako and Taiyou are so adorable, i was curious about how exactly Katsuki and Eijiro decided to adopt them? Who was the one who first brought up the topic and how long did the adoption process take?

................................yall making me think this hard about this AU holy heck haha I guess Kirishima was the one to mention it out loud first, but it had been an idea they both had had already way more than once before - still took a while to convince Bakugou though, cause for however much he wanted it they’re still heroes, their job isn’t safe at all, you know. Having kids with that sort of life isn’t easy

For the same reason actually adopting Mako took longer than it would have taken in normal circumstances, and even after they finally managed to bring her home they still had social assistants coming around randomly to make sure she was safe and healthy and loved/cared for way more often and for way longer than other adopting couples did. They still come around now and again, just to make sure. Taiyou’s situation was way easier anyway, since all these kind of problems were already dealt with when they adopted Mako!

Anon said:you're like the only person i know who draws bakushimanari and i wanna thank you for that i mean your art is a damn blessing

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you oh my gods!!!!!!! glad you like my silly doods!!!!!! *O*

Anon said:Omg I love your art Fran, it's beautiful!!!!! I love all the same ships and I was wondering if you would ever draw smut between any of your ships?

THANK YOU!!!!! And nope, nothing that I’ll ever post, no, both my blogs are striktly sfw~

Anon said: Laven is love Laven is life. IF ONLY LAVI COULD COME BACK TO THE MANGA

SOON I hope - I feel like we’re getting Kanda back, next chapter or the one after (...since, like, what else’s there to be done if not regroup and leave that place?) and after Kanda’s back we already know they’re heading for where Bookman is, so!!!! As far as number of chapters goes, I feel like we’re finally sorta close to getting Lavi back! Then again, how long it’s gonna take before we get there in actual time that has to pass... that’s... unsure

Anon said:What program do you use for drawing? I love your artwork so much and I'm just learning my way around several different programs but still haven't pinned down what works best for me. So I was just curious about what you like working in best.

Easy Paint Tool SAI! It’s answered in my FAQ page~

Anon said:*crawling through the desert, trying to survive on little to no new bokuroo art ANYWHERE*

Yeah, might be because Kuroo’s been MIA in the manga, the anime isn’t airing, the fandom is sorta asleep in general, when one does post art for that ship either it gets no feedback or all it gets is #brotp #I don’t ship this but #best friendship ever tags which takes away from the fun of posting it a lot

You know, the usual reasons - next game is the Karasuno vs Nekoma tho! I’m hoping that’ll bring back my hype. Sadly the Inarizaki game doesn’t seem to want to end already, what can we do

Anon said: I was wondering if you could draw shinsou hitoshi (you don't have to of course) I think he would look nice in your style btw. your art is amazing and you seem like a lovely person ;))) have a nice dayy

Thank you!!!!! And I already have!!! here, here and here~ I hope you’ll have a great day too!!!!

Anon said:If you wanna read the bungou stray dogs manga I recommend following @dazaiscans here on tumblr. They are responsible for translating and posting the latest updated chapters of the manga

Thanks for the info!!!!!! I’ll look into that next time I feel like starting something new :O

Really Rough Time/Plot Line

Heres a super quick rough plot line on what the frick is going on with my dragon age ocs cause ive basically rewritten dragon age asdfg my city now

Just a note: Maxie Lavellan belongs to erhybread and Laven Surana belongs to exventospes

Ancient Times:

- Falon is sold from his former master to Sylaise to be a spy/assassin. Hes trained in being a dreamer mage and was in a sleep state when Solas caused the veil, getting trapped on the wrong side. Hes been sealed away in a tomb, still just... snoozin.

Pre-Games:

Keeper Esme Mahariel begins getting cryptic dreams that appear to tell the future. They first appear as warnings to natural disasters or other such things and they are never wrong. One night she is told exactly how she is going to die: in childbirth, her son is going to be the one to kill an archdemon and end the blight. She accepts this as fate. She eventually gets another dream in which her best friend and lover Faunus Mahariel is tortured to death by shem’len. Fearing for him, she drugs him, then moves the clan on without him- hoping that distancing herself from him will keep him safe from her prophecies. She had no way of knowing that Faunus was eventually picked up by Clan Lavellan, and after his daughter, Fae, was born, he and his wife Vix succumbed to their foretold fate. Esme eventually meets a hunter from the Sabrae Clan. Finally ready to settle down, she puts her First in charge of Clan Mahariel and marries into the Sabrae Clan. She dies giving birth to Orion Mahariel, leaving him her own necklace and the wish that he keep her last name as her gifts to him.

Andreas Surana is the oldest sibling born to a war hero elf and a former orlesian maid, raised on stories of Loghain’s Night Elves, a faction in which his father had been a part of. His childhood comes crashing down when his father is killed by guards in an attempted uprising. Every move plagued with fear, Andreas does his best to keep his family safe, which becomes increasingly hard after his sister, Nedine, begins showing signs of magic. When his little brother Maxie comes crying to him about templars taking their baby sister away, Andreas does nothing, believing this to be for the best, causing tension between he and his family. This reaches a breaking point when a vacationing young human man stays in the alienage. While the man himself does nothing wrong, Andreas and a few friends get angry at the ease of which he lives, and break into his hotel room in what was supposed to be a simple robbery. Things take a turn though when the man catches them and a struggle ensues, causing Andreas to kill the man. He was caught, quite literally, red handed by guards and sentenced to death- only 18 years old. Luckily Warden Riordan had been passing through and heard of the boy, saving him from his sentence and recruiting Andreas into the wardens alongside the Orlesian bastard, Mathieu. Initially against the wardens and his recruitment, Andreas grew close to the two, beginning a relationship with Mathieu. All of this was cut tragically short however when a darkspawn ambush killed Mathieu and left Andreas short an eye and extremely scarred. While recovering in Weisshaupt, he took the open position to be the Chamberlain’s apprentice, and eventually himself became Chamberlain of the Grey.

Falon is..... still snoozing. Incase anyone was wondering.

Origins:

Orions father remarries and has Tamlen a year later. Orion is beloved by his clan, but they tend to tiptoe around the topic of his mother, which leaves him feeling a bit ostracized. Still, he cares deeply for his Clan, for his brother Tamlen, and his friends Fenarel and Merril. Orion agrees to check out the mirror with Tamlen after they hear it from three shem hunters they kill. Of course, that goes not well, attacked by a blighted bear, Tamlen sucked into the eluvian, and leaving Orion with blight sickness. Orion wakes in camp, but insists on going back to look for Tamlen- Merril and Fenarel tagging along to help. He searches until he passes out again, but not before he watches the warden Duncan shatter the eluvian. Back in camp, Duncan sits down with the Keeper and Orion, explains what Orion has, and requests he joins the wardens. Orion refuses, and Duncan uses his right of conscription. His Keeper accepts this, and a dumbfounded Orion is ‘banished’ from the Clan. 

Orion reawakens in a camp hes not familiar with. Duncan is there, and tells him he passed out again and had been out for awhile. During that time, Duncan had gone to the Circle of Kinloch Hold and brought back two mages- Nedine Surana, now going mainly by Ned, and Laven Surana. No relation, Suranas just... a common last name??? Who Knows. Things are very tense between them- especially Ned and Orion- Ned who sees the Wardens as heroes who shes honored to join, a chance at freedom, and Orion who views this as a prison, a shemlen whos taken him away from his home. While brooding in Ostagar, Orion meets Lumos, a mabari suffering the same affliction as him, and he tentatively agrees to help.

So then game stuff happens, you know the drill. Most of the changes from here on out are minor things. Orion has an emotional meeting with the werewolf elves, them being the first ones to talk openly about his mom. Ned finds Jowan, her childhood friend and crush, and while he was the one to save Connor personally, he was still sentenced to Tranquility. Orion did the dark ritual with Morrigan, and was the one to strike the killing blow to the Archdemon. While hes technically the Hero of Ferelden, he resigned from the Wardens, allowing Ned to take the mantle of Warden Commander. She immediately took the tranquil Jowan in, trying to find ways to fix that. Andreas learned about all of this like. a month later and screamed. Also? Laven and Orion are married. Amazing. Queen Anora gifts Orion Ostagar to use as an ‘elven homeland’. No one comes tho hes just livin there with Laven. fOR NOW.

Awakening:

Orion returns at Ned’s request, there have been crazy amounts of darkspawn sightings and shes worried about another archdemon. Orion agrees to help her out for old times sake and uncovers the Architect. Bringing the info back to Ned, they make a plan to kill both the Archiect and the Mother. However in the final battle, Ned stays behind to protect the Keep while Orion does the field work. He spares the Architect, agreeing to let him experiment on him on ways to cure the Taint and stop the Calling. He does kill The Mother though. He tells Ned both are dead, but Orion keeps tabs on the Architect and works with him.

DA2:

My Hawke is named Kitty Hawke and shes a wonderful lesbian who i love and thats all thats really original here DA2 was a masterpiece.

Ned eventually finds the work around to Jowan’s tranquility. She cures him, they get married. Andreas probably screams again.

Mathieu’s dead washed up body had been experimented on by necromancers, and Suprise! Hes not as dead as we may have thought! But thats a tale for another day.

Pre-Inquisition:

Budgie is taken in by the Adaars of the Tal-Vashoth. A while later, they rescue Archer, another young qunari. The two are raised as siblings by the qunari merc group hired by the Divine to guard the conclave.

Warden Commander Ned Surana agrees to investigate a section of the Wardens that have ceased communicating with Weisshaupt. She isn’t heard from again.

A slight ripple in the fade finally causes Falon to wake up, covered in dust, no longer in his own time. We’re not in Ancient Arlathan anymore, toto!

Inquisition(this is where it gets wild):

Dalish ambassador and First to the Keeper Fae Lavellan is being escorted by Maxie Lavellan to the conclave when suddenly the god damn ground opens up and Falon drags himself out of an old elven ruin. 

Falon accompanies the two to the conclave, but eventually parts when he senses ancient elven magic. He follows the lead.

Archer gets spooked and runs out of the conclave, Budgie pursues.

Falon interrupts Corypheus, picks up the orb, and all hell breaks loose. Fae uses magic to protect her and Maxie, Budgie and Archer are far away enough from the blast that they end up fine, but Budgie loses an arm. The two are picked up by the remainder of their merc group.

Falon, Fae, and Maxie are all arrested, but Fae manages to talk Cassandra down. Falon has the anchor. The magic feels familiar but dangerous. He doesnt know why Solas makes him uneasy.

Budgie and Archer join the Inquisition as companions. Budgie wants to “find the bastard that took her arm”. Archer just doesnt like being too far from her. 

Orion joins the Inquisition as a companion after hearing Morrigan is there. He is unaware that he had a child with Morrigan, she had not told him about the ritual the night before the archdemon battle, and thus he did not know she was pregnant when she disappeared. He doesnt know Kieran is his until he overhears Morrigan and Falon talking about it later.

Andreas joins as an advisor when its revealed Wardens are involved. He reveals that Maxie Lavellan is his brother Maxie Surana who had ran away shortly after Andreas’ conscription. Maxie is heartbroken to learn that their baby sister, Ned, is still missing.

Kitty Hawke and Falon uncover that a brainwashed Ned is being kept by Erimond as a ‘guard dog.’ 

Ned Surana joins the Inquisition after being snapped out of it. Kitty Hawke is stuck in the fade. its probably temporary. We hope. The Surana siblings have a heart warming reunion.

Somewhere in this mess, Falon gets involved with Imshael. Falon views Imshael as a tangible piece of his past, Imshael exploits Falons loving and trusting nature and his need for a sense of normalcy. Its not a healthy relationship. But still.. Imshael does feel a slight sense of love towards Falon too, and watches out for him.

Clan Lavellan is completely destroyed. Fae Loses It briefly and learns necromancy to try and resurrect her whole clan. Falon convinces her this is a bad idea. She does resurect her Halla tho.

Fae eventually takes a dip in the Well of Sorrows and becomes a vessel for Mythal, should she need it.

Corypheus is eventually defeated, unleashing Falons fucking thousands of years of pent up rage by repeatedly calling him a slave and such. FALONS BEEN THRU A LOT CORY U SHOULD PROBABLY STOP WHILE UR AHEAD.. 

Falon breaks Solas’ orb, and Solas flees, leaving Falon confused.

Solas kills Flemeth and Mythal merges to Fae, a sort of Anders/Justice situation going on.

Fae now knows what Solas is, due to the soul merger, and uses Orion’s Ostagar as a base to start building an elven resistance. 

Orion has started getting cryptic dreams, a ghostly elven woman visiting him, claiming to be his mother. Shortly thereafter he begins showing signs of magic. He does not like this one bit. However, he joins Fae’s army. For something to do.

Trespasser:

Budgie has broken off from her merc group to form her own, the Rose Lions. Archer has joined with her, along with ‘a living dead man’, Mathieu. (Andreas is, again, screaming?)

Falon finally is adjusting to this new life, however the anchor is killing him slowly. Its like. Not great. The magic is unlocking a good many of his old memories, things he would have preferred stayed buried in the past. Whats more, the Dread Wolf sends his agents to help trigger these memories. Remind Falon of the past.... how things once were.

I havnt actually finished this dlc yet so I dont know the canon plot details asdfg but eventually...

Memories of Imshael in the past cause a fall out between the two, Falon ends their relationship. Imshael however decides to continue keeping an eye on him, finding his choices interesting.

Eventually Falon and Solas meet face to face, and Solas reveals that he is the dreadwolf and what his plan with the veil is. Solas takes the anchor, but the damage is already done to Falon and his arm has to be amputated before infection reaches his heart. 

Falon reviews all that hes learned and decides to join Fae and Orion to fight Solas, deciding they cant be stuck in the past and they have to keep moving forward.

☆Writer Asks☆

Tagged by @kitty-bandit and @silentium-nightshade (thank you! <3)

1. Explain your AO3 handle. TheFairieQueen comes from a nickname I got back in my freshman year of college.  I used to do more studio art growing up, and always did butterflies and fairies (it got somewhat spurned on even more, because my grandmother always talked to me about fairies growing up).  And it’s no secret I like fairy tales - I’ve always been into them, and I just sort of got a reputation in college for liking these things early on?  Between that and the way I dressed, one of my friends thought I was just fairie-like, and she always called me the fairie queen.  So it came from there. XD  (In addition to that, when I talk to my grandmother even today, she refers to my apartment as my “fairy hollow.”) 2. Favorite fanfiction trope? AAAAAA.  This is hard?  I like so many? XD  Definite slow burn buildup and that pining for each other - I’m weak for that, as well as disastrous first meetings when it comes to romance.  (In addition to that, any trope that forced two romantic interests together - like dangerous scenarios, sharing a bed, etc.). 3. Favorite place to write? Easily at home.  It’s just more comfortable to be in my own space, and I usually end up focusing best if I’m cozy in bed or curled up on the couch, always with a cup of tea and dim lighting. ;3 4. Favorite ships in your current fandom? Right now, D.Gray-Man is my main one (I don’t know if I’ll ever leave?), and hands down, Yulma is my OTP.  I think anyone who follows me or talks to me is pretty aware of that. XD  I also have a rare pair I’m super into, which is Tyki x Alma, though @kitty-bandit got me very hard into Lavi x Link as well (and now....Lavi x Alma is on my mind? psjkfjsflkjsd)  But!  I also really love Lucky, LenaLavi, and Laven.  And Anita x Mahoja. <3 5. What are your steps to get into the Writing Mood™? Usually getting comfortable is the main priority, since that helps with focus.  I always have a cup of tea, keep the lighting dim, and will usually be under a layer of blankets.  Sometimes, I’ll listen to instrumental music for inspiration and to set the mood for a scene I’m writing as well. 6. What program/app do you use to write? Microsoft Word. 7. List your zodiac sign, favorite ice cream flavor, Hogwarts House, and your opinion on pineapple pizza. Taurus/WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO CHOOSE?  Honestly it switches, but I love mint chocolate chip/Ravenclaw/Nonononono PLEASE NO PINEAPPLE ON MY PIZZA. 8. Link us a fanfic that made you cry. It’s hard for me to full on cry, but A Matter of Time by @kitty-bandit just....fuck.  Fuck.  I don’t even have words for the level of pain this put my heart through.  It just...UGH IT JUST FUCKING HURT, OKAY? ;__; 9. Link us a fanfic that made you laugh. I’m going to have to say A Rough Patch by @errantknightess - like that was so damn amusing I nearly lost my shit on my bus commute home. XD 10. Link us a fanfic that left you in complete awe at the writer’s ability. This is hard considering damn near everyone I know is so talented, but @izadreamer’s Dreaming of Flowers will always be up there.  Like holy shit, everything Iza writes is amazing, but that fic is just a whole new level of insane talent (also Labyrinths of the Heart for any Tangled fans - I’m so behind in this fic, but fuck, it’s amazing too). 11. List your kinks. Oh god, SO. Time to out myself.  A/B/O Dynamics; Dom/Sub dynamics; Anything involving lingerie or tightlacing; Shower sex; Lightheadedness; Teasing; Some BDSM (consensual shit tho); Consensual Voyeurism (if in an established relationship); Mpeg (I lowkey hate myself for admitting this); Sucking/Biting. 12. How do you come up with your ideas? Honestly, they just...come?  Usually with new AUs and story ideas I don’t exactly look for them actively; they more or less hit me.  Once I have a base idea or line of inspiration, I usually will just follow it by jotting down notes, researching anything that ties into said idea, and just..really letting my mind run.  Sometimes you just almost can’t even overthink it, or you might accidentally constrict yourself, you know? 13. How do you implement said ideas into a cohesive narrative? Know the ending.  I swearing, knowing the ending and figuring out the story’s end point is huge.  It really helps in understanding what you ultimately want to accomplish with your stories, and what you want your characters to go through development-wise.   14. What are your working on right now? Share a little snippet or a description. Right now, I just finished up the remaining chapters of Encompassed in Glass for NanoWrimo, but am now moving on to a Nutcracker AU (title TBD).  The main ship with be Yulma (surprise there I’m sure XD), but it’s something I would like to start posting sometime December.  As of now, the prologue is written, and I’ve started chapter one.  (Draft excerpt from chapter one below!)

A snowball had hit her promptly on the shoulder, exploding into a mass of powdery snowflakes. The impact had been surprisingly hard, causing Emilia to trip into a pile of freshly-shoveled snow, and for a moment she struggled to get back up. Alma winced, when he saw how hard he had actually hit Emilia with the snowball.  “Oops, that was harder than I thought…” He murmured, hoping Emilia wouldn’t come for him next.  He turned to Timothy, and whispered.  “Go, go, go!” Timothy, who was snickering loudly at Emilia’s plight, quickly got up and dashed out of the alley, laughing full force when Emilia caught sight of him, glaring threateningly.  Then she turned, and her mouth dropped when she caught sight of Alma peeking out from the alley way. “You were helping him!?” She exclaimed.  “Alma, you traitor-!” Alma smiled sheepishly, before giving a small wave.  “Sorry, got to go!” He said, before running back down the alley.  While he usually never would have left someone who had fallen down, he knew it was for the best; friends or not, Emilia was sure to let him have it once she got a hold of him, and Alma was determined to escape that fate for as long as possible.
