Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Hi!!! Thanks for the ask!

This was kind of hard because I tend to be a bit self-critical about my writing, but I think these are my favorites (in no particular order).

Black Sun, in which Ty Lee reflects on her relationship with Azula during and after the invasion on the Day of Black Sun. I really enjoyed working on this one because I got to play with my interpretation of Ty Lee's character (I always took her as incredibly politically/socially savvy) and explore Azula's perspective on Zuko's actions on the Day of Black Sun.

The Matriarch, in which someone tries to assassinate Kuvira and Suyin goes into Dark Matriarch mode. In this fic, I got to explore some of my darker headcanons about Suyin's character and I think it came out pretty well. I also really enjoyed getting to write some tender moments between Su and Kuvira without downplaying the tensions and complexities in their relationship.

Her Favorite Mistake, in which a rookie cop and an up and coming mobster walk into Kwong's Cuisine, and they're definitely NOT on a date (except they totally are). I get really nostalgic about this fic because it was the first ever Linzolt work on Ao3. I think I'll always love it for being the start of this rarepair that I've come to adore.

The Successor, in which the matriarch of Zaofu has a nonbender daughter and a metalbending protege, and each of them grew up feeling as though she had been cast aside in favor of the other. I think I did a pretty good job with the characterization and complex dynamics of Kuvira, Opal, and Suyin in this fic. I also tried my hardest with description and figurative language (which don't always come easily to me) in this story and I think I came up with some pretty good lines and scenes.

A Strategic Alliance, in which Kuvira got adopted by Queen Hou Ting instead of Suyin and she and Baatar Jr. decide to get married for political reasons. The idea of Princess Kuvira is not mine (credit for that goes to the wonderful @the-hopefulpenguin) but I had a lot of fun running with the concept in this fic. The mother and daughter dynamic between Kuvira and Hou Ting basically wrote itself and I would definitely write about them again if the opportunity presented itself.

Heyy I'm reading your YOI fic "The Bachelors" and it is one of the most entertaining, amazing fics I have ever read!!

I love it so much, your characterisation is beautiful, the writing is brilliant and I love the plot!

I was hoping you might finish the fic? I've just finished the first chapter but I'm hooked and was sad to see you've only posted half of it. If you do choose not to finish it, could you please tell me what you had hoped for the rest of the plot? Like how you would have ended it?

Thank you, I love your work and am planning on reading all your fics on ao3 :))

💗💗💗💗💗💗

Okay, so I first saw this a couple months ago (I don’t know why I didn’t see it when you originally sent it, several months before that), and so I have no idea if you’ll ever see this. However, it did spiral me into a bit of an existential crisis about that fic and caused me to reread it. The thing is, I probably would’ve finished the fic if we ever got a season two, but considering that seems like it’ll never happen, I just don’t think I’d ever go back to it. (I do have half of a Leoji oneshot written that I might finish and post if I feel inspired whenever I end up rewatching the show, but that’s a different story)

Also — thanks for your kind words! The fic was a lot of work from both me and my co-author @florence--pugh so I’m glad it’s still being appreciated!

Spoilers for the rest of the fic under the cut.

Chapter 6

Location: Namale Island Resort (Fiji)

Group date: one of those offensive cultural appropriation-type dates that The Bachelor loves to do. Leo and Guang Hong have an almost kiss.

One-on-one date: Yuri and Otabek finally have their first one-on-one (as promised in ch5). They go snorkeling and mostly just hang out. Production is true to their word and just lets them have a nice, romantic time. Otabek gives Yuri some kind of cute, small gift. Yuri ends the date being completely convinced that Otabek only acts this way around him.

Eliminated: Chris

Chapter 7

This would have been a super long chapter

Location: Boston

One-one-one date: Phichit. It goes pretty well, and production basically makes Otabek give Phichit a (chaste) kiss at the end. Phichit doesn’t get the rose on the date because this is the episode before hometowns.

Group date: competitive group date! Sometime towards the end of the date (JJ and Yuri have been at each other’s throats the whole time) or at the cocktail party, JJ tells Yuri that Otabek only likes him sexually and tells him “sluts get cut”. Yuri punches JJ. Production makes Otabek go comfort JJ instead of talking to Yuri. Yuri is starting to panic. Leo gets the group date rose.

During the following day, production does interviews with all the contestants about what they would do if they were married to Otabek (because of his figure skating career and travel). Yuri overhears Phichit’s enthusiastic answer and freaks out. He learns about the kiss and extra freaks out.

The cocktail party is canceled!

Eliminated: Phichit

Yuri runs away in the middle of the night without telling anyone (literally). He gets a burner phone and gets Viktor’s help. Yuri is about to fly to LA to stay in Viktor’s LA home (Viktor and Yuuri are currently hanging out in Europe on vacation). Otabek shows up at the airport and they have a rom com-esque scene where Otabek confesses that he’s in love with Yuri. Yuri still would have left, but Otabek doesn’t try to convince him not to leave; rather, he says that he’ll go with Yuri. Yuri agrees, and they fly off to LA. Viktor’s driver is there and takes them to Viktor’s LA house. They basically just hang out there and have a lot of sex (offscreen) and hide Viktor’s Grammy’s. At some point the next day, Yuri realizes that they have to go back because it’s better for Otabek’s career and he doesn’t want him to face legal repercussions. Otabek reluctantly agrees. They tell Sara and Mila where they are, and they spend another day hanging out in Viktor’s house having a great time.

Back at the house, no one knows what’s happening, but they get told that Otabek and Yuri had to fly out early for Yuri’s hometown date (since they do go to Moscow). In fact, Yuri and Otabek do end up leaving from LA.

Chapter 8

Hometowns!

Yuri: Moscow — Otabek meets Yuri’s grandfather and they all have a great time. Obviously it’s the most home-ish for both of them.

Leo: Seattle (music)

Guang Hong (visual arts/culture)

JJ: Quebec

Basically, while Otabek and Yuri are in Moscow, there would be a big chunk of the chapter following Leo and Guang Hong sneaking out of their hotel and hanging out in Seattle (where they both live). They have a ‘friend’ date and do something like roller skating. They exchange numbers. There’s a cliche thing where Leo’s dog loves Guang Hong way more than Otabek. While they’re out, they get attacked by a couple members of Guang Hong’s extended family. No serious injuries or anything (Guang Hong fights back and wins) but some drama ensues. Basically, Guang Hong ends up thinking that Leo should hate him.

Eliminated: Guang Hong

Leo basically has a complete, sobbing breakdown on camera because Guang Hong is gone, but, no, he does not yet realize he’s in love with him.

Chapter 9

Fantasy Suite Week!

Location: Niagara Falls, Canada (the producers make snarky comments about how they had to reschedule their final location from some cool international destination to Canada because they blew their travel budget on Yuri’s hometown/they didn’t expect Yuri to stick around this long)

Otabek makes it very clear on camera that he is not planning to have sex during his fantasy suites, mostly so that no one can make comments about Leo losing his virginity.

Leo — Sara tells Leo he has to finally confess his love for Otabek if he wants to stick around. This spirals Leo into an existential crisis about whether or not he actually does have feelings for Otabek. They go ice skating, and Leo is just happy that he doesn’t have to go near to the Falls. Leo realizes that Otabek has no romantic feelings for him, which helps him realize that he also doesn’t feel that way about Otabek. Once they’re off camera on their overnight date, they basically spend the whole time being friends and chatting about how great Guang Hong and Yuri are.

JJ — Helicopter ride. Otabek eliminates him before the fantasy suite.

Yuri —They go on an ice wine tour. Yuri finally confesses his love for Otabek on camera. They’re both very cute and happy and have their fantasy suite date.

The chapter cuts over to Guang Hong, now back home in Seattle, as he watches episode 8 airing live. He sees Leo sobbing when he leaves.

Chapter 10

Finale!

Otabek officially breaks it off with Leo before they can even get to the final day (so Leo never has to pretend they’re going to get engaged). Leo runs back to Seattle as quickly as possible and goes to the accounting firm Guang Hong works at. All of his work friends are delighted and giggling and embarrassing. Leo and Guang Hong leave and go walk around. Leo confesses that he’s realized he’s in love with Guang Hong. Guang Hong, of course, reciprocates, and they get together officially.

Meanwhile, back on the show, Otabek and Yuri consider leaving again, but then do the traditional proposal speeches and stuff for TV. Yuri pretends to hate it but they both really do get swept up in the romance of it all. They officially get engaged.

In the intervening months, Otabek and Yuri have already gotten married. Otabek gets Yuri roses a lot and Yuri pretends to hate it. The fic would end with them sitting around ready to watch the next season.

But top 5 are probably Lemonade, Breakfast, Bring the Noize, Focus, and Promise You. I could probably go OFF about the whole album, but I'll save that for it's own post maybe 👀

Also ! Red Light, Green Light came up on my Spotify discover weekly! I also like their song Flex!! T1419's sound and vibe is pretty specific and I gotta be in the right mood to enjoy their music to the fullest, but I generally like them 😊

I saw the mbb valentine's event and I'm seriously considering participating, and I want to, but also I'm nervous about it for some reason ?? Isn't that silly

ok here me out… 🔔Victoria in a Ghost Marriage themed outfit…😳

ohohohoh I have returned

THE GIRLS HAVE ARRIVED AND THEY ARE HERE TO KICK SOME GHOST ASS WOOOO

Victoria tried to distract the ghost guards but ended up getting slapped by Elizabeth for being “hotter than the bride” A lot of ghosts were turned to stone that day. Got the rose from her own personal collection. Told Elizabeth that her dress was too old fashioned in a derogatory way and got slapped a second time

Ellis tried knocking a ghost out with her bat but failed when the bat went through the ghost. Was slapped by Elizabeth for “being a better dancer than the bride and groom combined” (she got the flower as a good luck charm from Malleus)

[kyunsies]
