have a great day or night! 💋

I have several thoughts…

Thank you for being my first anon and ilysm

You’re a genius

I’m so so so so very sorry I took so long to answer this! I really wanted to get this done sooner but I’ve had serious writers block (or laziness idk) and just a bunch of personal shit going on, so getting this done is like a belated Christmas/new year’s/birthday present to myself

I can’t promise this’ll be as good as this was, I feel like I used all my good writing abilities up on that haha

Have a great day or night to you too 🩷

After losing your leg, you never thought you’d work for anything military affiliated again. Okay, well, maybe as a civilian admin person, but never in the field. But, with a LOT of physical therapy… and mental therapy… and retail therapy… it was like you were as good as new!

So, when Laswell called, you answered. There was an opening in a new Task Force, and they wanted you. You haven’t felt this way since… well, since John, Kyle, and Johnny. But now, they dint have to consume your every living thought. You can begin again.

It wasn’t long before you were on a new base, in a new country, with a new team.

They were all extremely welcoming, albeit different. You had to get used to the change in personalities and strategies, but it was refreshing to get new perspectives on things.

Months of training and bonding with your new team go by, and less contact with the 141. You’ve by no means forgot about them, but you don’t think about them as much anymore. You’re happy, and they need to respect that.

But when have those boys ever been good at leaving you alone? Never. Which is how you end up here, staring them down as your new Captain greets John, the Captain of the team you’ll be working alongside for the next however long.

You can’t stand this. Why couldn’t they just let you have one thing for yourself for ONCE?

The best way to handle this, you decided, was to not. Avoiding them was simple and easy, so you did it.

On the occasions you couldn’t avoid them, like missions, all your interactions were short and professional. There was no hint of the connection you had all shared.

The lieutenant who replaced you was big and stoic, but his was also a dumbass. Sure, it was an improvement in physical strength (which you were definitely NOT jealous of), but it was a loss in stealth and just common fucking sense.

Like, how can this man look you in the eyes and not realize you were his predecessor that the team still talked about? You hate him and his big muscles. Those very same muscles that eventually saved you from losing your other leg.

At first, you were pissed when he pinned you. But then the explosion happened.

There was a loud, obnoxious ringing in your ears, but at least you weren’t passed out, unlike the big oaf on top of you.

John helped pull him off of you and waited with you both until medevac came. Every protest from you was countered by your old Captain. He just wants you to be alright, luvie, relax.

Reluctantly, you did, enough to fall asleep. The first thing you saw when you opened your eyes was the blinding white lights of the hospital. When that faded, you saw John and your new Captain whispering to each other in the corner of the room, sending worried glances… past you? You weakly turned your head to look, and it was Simon, covered in bandages.

Ive been going through a really rough time rn, and i am gonna be completely honest: Gold Rush is one of the only things keeping me going. Every Wed and Sat i keep refreshing around the same time you usually update, and seeing 'next chapter' pop up makes me so happy.

Then it hit me: how much this fic really means to me. Its really helping me take things one day at a time, which is difficult in my situation. This fic is literally like, the one good thing in my life rn. So, thank you. To some it may be a fun fic. But to me, its a reason to keep going and not give up.

:) I'm so happy my little fic can be of so much help

[the-kingshound]

Not really an ask and I have never done these on Tumblr before but I just wanted to pop by and let you know your IF gives me life. It's such a comfort IF, I re-read whenever I feel down. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

❤❤❤

to be fair, even if there are a lot of "no"s or "never heard of it"s, this blog is also an amazing peer-reviewed watch-list

ever since I started following the blog back in october, there are 2 shows I could now vote for as "yes", simply because the enthusiasm of the fans in the notes made me curious

'really does wonders for someone who's anxious about getting invested in new stuff

anyways, lots of love to you for managing this blog, and lots of courage too! I think we all get it can be overwhelming, but hey, it's a fun little thing you do for people (including yourself) to be entertained and share their interests with others, not a full-time job, so allow yourself to relax about queue management or whatever! if some people ever get upset, which I hope nobody will, well, it's on them

aaahh anon you are so so so lovely :') <3

i genuinely mean it when i say that it makes me happy to see people actively engage with the polls and maybe try out the submitted shows, it's the main objective of this blog!

and i get you, i'm particulary picky when it comes to tv, way more than with movies, so the tags are certainly a useful tool to see if something in my watchlist is worth my time ahaha

hopefully you'll keep finding value in this blog, and find more new shows that fit your taste ^^

thank you again for this ask, you are so sweet, i hope you have an amazing day/night :)

[itsalwaysdark]

[wexhappyxfew]

Every excerpt you post from the cruising fic makes me even more feral to real it.

Also, there is something about the way you have Louis thinking about Lestat here that encapsulates something I love about your writing, which is that you convey so powerfully how enraptured Louis is by Lestat, and Lestat by Louis--that sense of how enraptured they are by each other, how much their minds are always on each other, is so visceral in your fic, it's like we can feel how filled ALL their senses are by each other. Maybe it's something about how you describe Louis' perceptions of Lestat as a source of color and light.

And then Louis being haunted by the thought of everything that happened to Lestat that he doesn't fully know, and by the thought of what people like Nicki got to experience with human Lestat that he will never know...god

Oh! Anon!! I'm not good enough at handling compliments to get asks like this, haha. You're lovely, but you've overwhelmed me a bit. Thank you very, very, very much.

[mars-ipan]

GBUH…… THANK YOU…. <33333

[rox-of-iu]

Hey, just felt called to let you know that your MQF from SVSSS doodles give me such life and inspired how I write MQF in my fics. I love how you depict him and your art style is so refreshing and cute!

Just thought you should know. Hope you have a good day!

HELLO HI THANK YOU SO MUCH??? 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY OR NIGHT

[eastofedean]

you’re sick, you should rest as much as you need to. always, always no pressure, i promise you. and how you write is so lyrical, it’s poetic. in awe of how you’re writing in a second language, that’s so amazing 😱 don’t listen to anyone who judges otherwise.

i like the long distance aspect and the different modes of communication—so intrigued on how you’re going to do the letter writing. did you always intend for it to be a slow burn? what made you choose the length of time (you said it spanned years)?

surprisingly, nobody’s soldier is not a time travel fic—it’s regular s4 deancas. i have this vision of the angels understanding that the leverage is different for dean. it’s less intrusive about getting the apocalypse to happen—the angels know they must be given permission first. but with a person who has never experienced hell, it’s different. dean settles in some backwater town in this one. i think i wanted him to work at a blockbuster.

haven’t QUITE figured out how you get around them not zapping dean immediately back, but i figure it can be a combination of changing the angel hierarchy and making the directive about not hurting dean in any way.

oh, that's very kind of you to say, anon...maybe a little too kind even. I'm just writing my stupid little things (and I have only published one, mind you), but thank you so much. you words mean a lot :) people have been very kind to me and my writing, I guess I'm my biggest critique, that's all.

no, I was planning to write a cute little one shot thing, but the story kinda demanded to be extended in that way shdjdj. but I also kinda... I wanted to include the yearning aspect and to go through dean's life before his dad disappeared. I wanted to explore his this illusion of freedom he gets as soon as sam leaves for college. the loneliness of your twenties, the bravado with which you go through the world even tho you just want to he loved and understood. the way you can form connections in the strangest of times.

I see, that makes a lot of sense! and I like that idea very much. I like the thought of dean working at a blockbusters. It's super interesting to think about what an impact not going to hell had on dean and how cas is going to try and still talk him into being a part of the 'big plan' so to speak. changing the angel hierarchy sounds super interesting too! you seem like such a creative person and I'm very thankful that you are willing to share your thoughts with me, anon :)

[lifesupreme-if]

how are you doing dear author?

hello very sweet holiday cookie 🍪❤️

i'm doing. okay? i got covid for the first time and somewhere in the brain fog i woke up feeling like a people again for the first time this year so that's kinda cool! still stressed but i think we'll be okay. my girlfriend and i made an AU together and it's bringing back all of my love for these characters, and i'm going to see my girlfriend later this month so even amidst the stress there's a lot to look forward to ❤️

i hope you're okay!!!!! thank you for asking, i love you i love you i love you, feel free to tell me about your day always.

Daily reminder:

You are enough no matter what you do, and you deserve to take leaps and small steps and change and grow however you want to.

🥺🥺

[the-kingshound]

TKH was the first IF I ever read, and I've always loved that my characters and I can feel genuinely respected, cared for, and heard in the most uncomfortable of situations- It's deeply healing, and such a strong point in this story that continues to set it as one of my favorites. It admittedly left me unprepared for a majority of the IF world which indulges in more antagonistic tropes- Those can be fun at the right time, but 9 times out of 10 I'd like for my MCs to be treated like actual people in tough situations. Your characters feel like people worth building relationships with and I adore it. And that aside, I love love love effeminate men!! I love messing with gender norms!! I love queerness!! There is nothing better or sexier than that!! You're doing a wonderful job telling the story you want to tell, and I'm very thankful and excited for it.

This... honestly means so much to me. I started writing this story because it's exactly what I craved, for a MC to be treated with care and respect, for people to grow fond of them and for them to grow fond of people even in stressful/unfamiliar situations. Because, like you, I grow tired quite fast of a MC who is often demeaned, left in the dark, or left to suffer by themselves surrounded by unsympathetic people.

Aside from it, from the fact that I would never change this story, it is heartwarming and of great support knowing people actually want and enjoy this type of content. Not everyone, and this was made clear, but for those who wanted exactly this, I am happy I can provide.

The more negative comments I receive about Arthur/ROs being effemminate, the more I am convinced I did good. Fuck gender norms. Fuck stereotypical men. Soft caring men deserve representation

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]
