IT'S (finally) TIME

WELCOME BACK!

this evening i was struck with the avoiding writing bug. so i took the opportunity to reread two fics that have been stuck on my mind for a bit... and decided that a month and a half is long enough of a wait to-

FINALLY-

ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS OF THE FICTRAVAGANZA OPTIONAL WRITING PORTION

i am not known for snappy names

@someloserinajaywig and @crying-over-cartoons please come up to the stage!

Both of your fics were fucking phenomenal. Both of you appealed to me specifically with moments of insecurity, fear, and anxiety. Both of you featured Jay which is like step one to winning my heart.

It was genuinely difficult to choose between the two, however, i want you both to know that these fics are going to be ones I never forget. they were sweet, well-written, and drew me in. Ngl if either of you have any other ninjago writing i'm unaware of you should tell me <3

Now. The placements. Drumroll please.

🥁🥁🥁

Bruise Drabble by someloserinajaywig/Leo !

College Blues by crying-over-cartoons/Grey !

Congratulations to you both! You've both earned a prize

Leo, for you I will write one long (2500-5000 words) oneshot

Grey, for you I will write one medium (1000-2500 words) oneshot!

The limits for these fics are the same as the general event prompting (linked here so you don't have to scroll back to find it, with the only difference being I will write DRS2! please ignore the severely outdated dates... time is an illusion) except now rather than sending in dice you just send in whatever you want me to write about!

I've learned my lesson. I have no idea when I will finish these, but luckily with winter break coming up I should make headway! Do not ask about what will happen when i do my study abroad that is between me and the First Master

(Also, i've linked both the fics so if you've read this far and haven't read either, take a look!)

(Kara) "Finally, great job Flowey. That should teach them something they'll never forget." (Clover) "You just did 19 HP. Hah, don't you understand I have 99." (Kara) "Check your HP one more time. =)" (Clover) "It says… 98 hp. But I've seen that attack before. What the hell is going on?" (Kara) "Flowey has a soul, dumb-ass." Clover starts to sprint away (Kara) "The good Clover!"

(Clover) "R… real showdown. Their voice stutters. They felt fear for the first time since Flowey got the determination extract. They started crying. Not fake, real crying. Please…" (Kara) "Oh, how the tides have turned. You expect me to give you mercy? I'm going to enjoy this. Any last words?" (Clover) "I just have one piece of advice. Advice that would've helped us both. Merg shows up and gives them a healing item. Don't savor your victims. Shoots right into Kara's knee. See you. Runs into the nearest door and then is gone."

Big, big thanks to both @odditycircus-2002 and @doctorghoti ! Chapter 47: SPECIAL: 100+ Kudos Milestone is the specific chapter in which I have included and thanked you for your involvement! <3

The celebration chapter has finally, FINALLY been posted! It’s been an excruciatingly long week bringing this madness together and making sense of it, but for my readers, you more than deserve it! I can’t thank you enough for being patient.

This newest chapter has in store:

-Author Q&A

-Author’s shitty “concept art”

-Two non-canon short story/scenario AUs

The first AU works off the idea that a film crew has come into the slasher household to interview and record our murder men!

The second AU is based off of a question one of my readers once asked me: It covers a strange, fantastical tale of the slashers working in a midnight circus under the thumb of my slasher oc, The Illusionist! Special appearance is made by Bill’s PennyWise the Dancing Clown~ Because what’s a circus without a clown?

Thanks yet again goes to both OddityCircus and DoctorGhoti!

Oddity was kind enough to submit fan mail for the Creeper and splendid artist DoctorGhoti was immensely kind enough to share with me their fan art of The Illusionist! You will find their in-chapter involvement closer to the end of the page

So happy with this! <3.

Sweeties!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[sailor-cerise]

the one thing that made my overnight emergency room visit this year remotely bearable was the totally amazing nurse I had.

And I am not really a small talk person most of the time.

But he made me feel like he cared, made me laugh, made my partner laugh, respected both of us, and did what he could to help me with the pretty awful pain.

He took me seriously when I needed it, and made the best of a miserable experience.

One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.

@ameliajessica @violetsarepurple-fuckyou thank you both so much--for this conversation--and for all the amazing, wonderful, beautiful, heart-lifting TM fics

Ok, I have never participated in one of these before, in spite of being on tumblr for like a third of my life lol, so bare with me please! I have no doubt this is going to be long and rambley! When I saw your tags on this asks meme I was like “What do you mean you don’t have a worthy fic output??? You have a million excellent fics out there?” and was earnestly shocked when I went over to ao3 and saw that you only had 10 Magicians fics. Now let me be clear, I am using the word “only” in the absolute LOOSEST sense, because as someone with a seemingly endless stack of wips constantly piling up in my docs who has never completed and posted anything longer than 8k, your treasure trove of masterpieces which include multiple fics in the double digit thousands is astoundingly impressive to me!!! But! I have re-read a few of your fics so many times that my brain has just a bunch of instances logged where I saw your name and went “mental note: one of the best writers in the Magicians fandom, part of the ultra cool club, maybe I should hold off on going through everything they’ve ever written right this very second so that I will have more from them to read on a rainy day.” So basically, the sheer awesomeness of your writing totally tricked me into not realizing that I have actually only read like 4 or 5 of your fics, and they dominated my brain enough to seem like a whole fandom’s worth. So um, with that in mind! I’ll actually ask the asks now lol

My favorite fic of yours

It is TIGHT, but I think I have to go with “just a touch of your love is enough” because that one permanently rewrote my brain chemistry and pretty much single handedly made start like a bunch of wips revolving around the concept of Quentin and Eliot being two people who were pretty ok with being in poly and open relationships until they went STUPID over each other. I’ve re-read it… maybe 5 times? 

My favorite chapter in my favorite fic of yours

To my growing shame, I am realizing that I have been saving your multichap fics this whole time. I read parts 1 and 2 of your ‘evolve’ series tho, and while I struggle to differentiate between the amazingness of Quentin’s POV vs Mike’s POV, I really really just loved the way part one closed out? I lovedddd the outsider POV of watching the Queliot sex matter more than any other sex either of them has ever had, and I really adored the gentle leaving of Mike – a little bitter but mostly just mature – telling Q not to let Eliot go. 

The best character you’ve written for

You simply cannot make me choose between Eliot and Quentin here; you write both of them so distinctly and so well!!!

The best ship you’ve written for

As I’m sure you can tell by now, this ask is extremely biased toward the Magicians. I’m sure all your other fics are equally excellent, but I found you through the Magicians and you were one of the people instrumental in me fixating on the Magicians for the past… idk. At least 2 years. So I GOTTA go Queliot. 

A fic I haven’t read yet from you, but I want to

I feel like I have been saving ‘baby please come home’ for a really really long time. I just know it’s gonna wreck me lol! 

Something I remember vividly from reading one of your fics

Oh no, there are way too many options crashing in my brain for this one at once! Um! I think I have to chicken out and go a little more general: the way you write Quentin and Eliot’s interactions with each other just ticks all my boxes for them. The thing that always really sticks with me is how you do such a great job mixing and balancing them bantering with each other and genuinely being friends who like each other and spending time together, and the soul-crushingly intense romantic feelings they have for one another, the deeply painful, star bright pining! You are so good at blending those two components so seamlessly together, even in a single conversation, and I always when reading your fics am beset with that very specific feeling when every sentence you next read is EXACTLY the sentence you want to be reading, because the characters are so well drawn. 

What made me the most emotional after reading

You have such a knack in your writing for showing just HOW MUCH Quentin and Eliot love each other. I’m always blown away and enraptured by it. The moments that have made me the most emotional are the ones that highlight how almost tragic the intensity of that love is. Quentin in the very funny and very hot ‘they ain’t got a clue (can’t love me like you do)’ thinking how mean it is for Eliot to be hot around him, and Eliot’s desperation in “just a touch of your love is enough” to just make Quentin happy the whole time no matter what. You do an excellent excellent EXCELLENT job of depicting their love as borderline tortuous without it crossing the line over into something unhealthy, and it destroys me every time without fail. 

What I like the most about your writing

In addition to your killer characterization, your excellent banter and comedy, your really truly perfect smut writing skills for both the hot and the tender (and weaving plot and character into the sex scenes in an impeccable way that always keeps my ace-spec ass LOCKED in) I just really love all the minutia of your like sentence structure and rhythm and all that good stuff. Your writing style pulls me right along in such a way that I often forget I am reading and not just injecting the story directly into my veins, but every time I emerge from the pools of my delight it is to notice something like “ooo, that was just some really solid prose right there”. I love your stuttering staccato period usage when you are writing from Quentin’s pov, the way you use your sentence structure, rhythm and grammar to emphasize the character. 

A fic i’m excited for you updating/posting

Alright I categorically DO NOT want to make you feel pressured or bad about your unfinished works. Again, I have a million wips I haven’t started posting yet, and just in general I have lost interest in some of my works before and know how complicated that can feel, so I really don’t want to bring up any of your pieces without knowing if that is welcome or if you have lost interest in them. That said I gotta say the concept for “wreck my plans (that’s my man)” TUGS at me, and I would love to read more of any Magician’s works from you at any time! If you are still into the fandom and feel like adding onto any of your fics or posting new ones, just know that you have an avid reader in me! And, if you ever wanted a beta or cheerleader, well I admire you deeply, think you are just SO COOL, and desperately wanna be your friend so like… please please please feel free to hit me up

A character/ship I didn’t enjoy/think about as much before you wrote about them

Hmm, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy or think about Margo and Quentin’s friendship before reading the way you write them, but I do think you added onto that love significantly. Same goes for the concept of Quentin and Eliot: accidental monogamists, a concept I think you like PERFECTED lol

Something I wish/hope you write

See #9 lol. I guess… I also gotta mention that every time I read ‘they ain’t got a clue (can’t love me like you do)’ a part of me is dying for an Eliot’s pov of the whole thing. You just do such a good job of showing Eliot’s pov from INSIDE Quentin’s pov while Quentin remains oblivious, and it leaves me yearning haha

A fic of yours that i’ve re-read

‘they ain’t got a clue (can’t love me like you do)’, “just a touch of your love is enough”, “i feel it in my body, know it in my mind”, and “if being him is who you are/ say it loud say your know you are” just… so many times. 

If i’ve ever shared/talked about your fic to someone else

Hmm, not exactly? People don’t often ask me for recs lol, but if they did you would be at the top of my list!

A fic I didn’t expect to like so much

Let’s see… maybe  “i feel it in my body, know it in my mind”? I think when I first read that one I mixed the summary up with a different one I didn’t remember liking as much, but thought I should try re-reading anyway, and was DELIGHTED by what I got instead

A question I have about one of your fics

Hmm… This one is hard because your fics are all so fleshed out I don’t really leave them confused about anything. Are there any Magician’s fics you feel like you might return to one day, and are there any you feel pretty positive you aren’t interested in anymore? Are there any still in the works that haven’t made it to ao3 yet? What was your favorite one to write?

Anyway, hope you are having a lovely day! Your fics mean the world to me! I wanna befriend you so awkwardly bad! Genuinely hit me up if you would like a beta or cheerleader! You are such a good writer it's insane! Thank you for all the wonderful work you have put out into the world!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

hello!!! i confess i have been putting off answering this just because once i did it would obviously vanish from my inbox, and it is genuinely one of the most thoroughly, generously detailed thoughts on my fic i have ever received, in over a decade of this little hobby. i'm genuinely so floored you would take the time to respond to this based off a little tag comment i made (that i did indeed make bc i know some amazing magicians' fic authors who have such profilic, sprawling output). i'm gonna save this and look at it whenever i have doubts that anyone cares if i continue with my little magicians fics, which i do intend to do! i tend to chip away at them every few months, coo over how much i love quentin and eliot, and then move on, but i will put something substantial out there one day i promise.

so to answer the rest of your questions! ahem:

definitely 'show a little faith', or thanksgiving fic as it's known in my head, is the primary victim of my fic pecking. i have the outline etc in my head it's just getting it out there on paper, as it were.

similar, the q as margo's assistant AU, written for best girl @coldbam and i have to give credit: was her idea in the first place. she had said she wished someone wrote something like it, and for that reason it was more of a burst of something i wrote to have something to give nicole on her birthday that year given our tragically perpetual long-distance friendship, and the story beats were a bit more nebulous. BUT it was really fun and i had enough direction that i could go back to it (and many notes on ideas for scenes, many of them run by nicole on the phone to ensure they aligned with her ~vision).

there's a few longer WIPs/ongoing ideas that aren't on ao3 at all, but very much exist in fits and starts of writing and EXTENSIVE notes lmao, as is my way.

an AU where q is a TA/professor, and eliot and margo went to fillory prior to quentin enrolling and now he is an advisor who has to go back to take a class for reasons (they need a minor mending spell for some kind of kingdom reason; margo is king here). the idea came about just bc i'll be honest, professor/student pairings aren't totally my thing but i think eliot would get a lot of horny mileage out of it, especially bc q would be like "stop that's problematic!!!" (while also horny secretly). age gaps aren't also super my thing but especially eliot and q being only a year or so apart is very important to their dynamic to me also, hence q only being a TA or a very new professor at that (with maybe eliot and margo being in fillory for a few years at that point).

oh man, the fic lovingly titled 'fillory boy AU' that got so so much attention in my group chat with nicole above and beloved @kenshivshow. it's a similar concept to @hmgfanfic's INCREDIBLE fic, where q is a boy from fillory and eliot marries him instead of fen, but mine is a lot sillier and hornier and much less sprawling and impressive. i love it a lot and it has a lot of it written.

my favourite one to write is such a hard question. i am a corny loser who genuinely loves writing all fic bc otherwise i wouldn't do it. but:

just a touch of your love is enough was my first big bang so i gotta give that a shout out, plus the amazing art by @lu-does-eurovision!

they ain't got a clue (can't love me like you) gave me the chance to write a plotline from probably my favourite show, grey's anatomy, and i also managed to get it all out in a weekend bc i was so inspired. a thrilling feeling i will continue to chase forever!

again thank you so much, this message made my day when i got it and made my days over and over when i would go back to it. i'm really honoured and grateful!

loser könig ‘comforting’ reader after she had a bad breakup/failed date…

(18+) Loser!König x Heartbroken!Reader

WARNING: MANIPULATIVE & COERCIVE BEHAVIOR

Loser!König’s brows are creased in sympathy, cooing reassurances in a soft, compassionate tone - but he truly could not be happier. He has to bite back the smile just begging to make the muscles in his face sore.

Loser!König hated your boyfriend anyway, such an arrogant jerk he was. König would treat you so much better, he would never make you cry. You can’t see it now, but you’re much better off.

Loser!König doesn’t dare miss his opportunity to touch you, rubbing your back soothingly as you cry, his hands dipping lower than they should on each descent of his gentle traces.

Loser!König’s cock is straining against his pants, and he can hardly bring himself to feel ashamed about it. The sound of your stuttered sobs and the sight of tears streaming down your face has his cock at full attention, a bead of arousal forming at the tip and threatening to stain his underwear.

Loser!König scoots closer to you, pressing his thigh to yours as he slings his arm over your shoulders, pulling you into his chest.

Loser!König sinks his teeth into his bottom lip, holding back a needy groan when your palm rests on his chest. He can feel your plush, clothed breasts graze against him with each of your faltered breaths.

Loser!König rests his cheek on the top of your head, eyes lulling as he inhales you. You’re intoxicating, he’s high off the scent of your shampoo and your touch, his cock throbbing with each breath of you he draws.

Loser!König will fix you a drink to make you feel better. Loosen you up a little. You’re so weak and vulnerable right now, he’s hoping that your ex not only just drove you into his arms, but into his bedroom as well.

Loser!König <3
