20 Questions for Fic Writers

@symphorine has tagged me, thank you!

tagging @cursedhaglette, @eraserspiral, and @pouroverpaloma though these questions might not be everyone's cup of tea so no pressure!! <3

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

14! Soon to be 15 once I've finished my one shot :)

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

*,***,***. I don't like to talk about this number because it embarrasses me :'))))

3) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

all the usual suspects tbh!

Pieces Still Stuck In Your Teeth

Party Favours

A Bleeding Heart

An Honest Lie

The Stars Don't Shine, They Burn (a fic I've become increasingly conflicted about, but it is also one of the things I'm most proud of so)

4) What fandoms do you write for?

fantasy rpgs, with a quick illness over ben barnes before he became cringe on his instagram

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to reply to all of them honestly. I am not successful (there were two depressions that took away my ability), but I try my best bc I remember the days when I got like 3 comments and it was so exciting and I replied to everyone. The people who comment on my work now are just as important as those first three people, so I try to acknowledge how much they still mean to me!

6) What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

For all I put my characters through it™, Sunblindness is the only fic with a non-happy ending.

7) What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I guess Party Favours? I still think about Astarion watering houseplants out of boyfriend obligation, often.

8) Do you get hate on fics?

occasionally, but it's never interesting. like I know what's wrong with my writing if you're going to be mean to me at least be accurate about it.

9) Do you write smut?

dear lord, I'm trying my best.

10) Do you write crossovers?

I have written 2 crossovers and one of them was for the Stardust movie which is getting a little too close for comfort :)))))))

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yes.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

people made requests to translate Pieces, but then never updated me on if it happened or not!

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nah, I'm not a group project kind of girlie

14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

not actually any of the ones i write for! Howl x Sophie, Spike x Buffy are probably my favourite but I find the character voices too restrictive for what I like to write.

shout out to Rosalie/Astarion for literally curing me of the classic "plays the same videogame romances the same person" sickness. I like rotating the two of them together so much in my mind that I have to have my other Tavs look elsewhere.

15) What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don't doubt I'll finish everything eventually do to my social anxiety, but I think an honest lie gets that way sometimes just bc it's a long slog of a fic lmao

16) What are your writing strengths?

I honestly think consistency is my biggest strength, which is such a dull one but idk I have no doubt I'll finish the things I'm writing eventually and i hope the reader base know to trust me with certain stories on the back of what I've done before!

(idk man i hate talking nicely about myself let's move on)

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

the overwriting has gotten extremely out of hand. fic is a very forgiving format for where more is just more, but there's a reason my overall wordcount embarrasses me. I hope this will just make original fiction very forgiving when I have to cut EVERYTHING down.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

as an english-first-language girlie, I try to avoid it. I've now done it once and it was necessary but I didn't want to keep it up for long enough once it communicated the plot point it needed to. I think it can be done well, but don't use google translate, for the love of fucking god.

19) First fandom you wrote for?

dragon age inquisition :)

20) Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Unfortunately my favourite was the Stardust one which is a fact that is aging badly.

I think I'll always have a soft spot for my zevran/warden soulmate AU because that's my comfort pairing and my comfort trope

Last Line Game

I was tagged by @niennawept to post the last line I wrote in my WIP! Thank you for thinking of me!! :D I loved being tagged in these sorts of games.

Here's the last line I wrote in Beneath a Boundless Sky:

I would have been such a good roach, Thalionel thought proudly as he watched. He did know his way around a horse, and carrying a shield wasn’t hard.

And here's the last line I wrote in To Partake:

Elrond slings the sack of flour down, and then gives her a bright smile and bows at the waist.

Edit: I forgot to tag people! Tagging: @jaz-the-bard @that-angry-noldo @polutrope @greyjedijaneite and anyone else who wants to play!

viktor x librarian! reader (headcanons + tiny scenarios) part 2

summary: even before your relationship, heimerdinger already knew you and viktor liked each other. now, he wants to help to bring you two together.

content warning: fluff!! and a bit of language towards the end :D (it was written with s1 viktor in mind!)

author notes: im here again with the viktor and librarian! reader hcs, but it was so cute and i couldn't turn down the anon who sended me the request!! i really liked to write this (i mean.... you can see how much i liked, its pretty big lol) and i hope you like it too! (i recommend you read the part 1 before this, bcs you wont might understand some stuff since its on the first. well, here's the link for part 1!)

» being a librarian near piltover’s academy means that every time a student needed some book or document you might have, they would come to you. even professors.

you’ve seen the doors opening, but you didn’t see anyone standing there. you thought that maybe it was the wind, but soon you heard a voice coming from behind the reception desk. “hey, down there!” looking down, you recognized the owner of the voice, professor cecil b. heimerdinger.

“oh, i’m sorry, didn’t see you in there!’’, you rubbed the back of your neck, nervous, afraid considering that you had one of the most important people of piltover inside the library you work in. “well, how could i help you?”, you offered him a polite smile and he offered one of his, fur twitching up around the corners of his mouth.

“oh, you see, maybe you do have some old stuff, like-”

» after this, whenever he needed something, he would find himself already walking to your library. he often recommended the establishment for his students and pupils, making it a spot for study dates and scientific discussions. now, it was even harder to take breaks, the place was more crowded than it ever was. oh, you just wanted to hear what heimerdinger was wanting to say, about what had been happening at the academy or, even better, at the council, but, obviously, only the non-confidential stuff.

when your lunch break hit, you were finally able to come meet the professor, a normal occurrence every week. you could see his small figure waving and smiling, seated and already waiting for you at the cafeteria he likes. “hi, friend! i’ve ordered the usual for us,” he said while adjusting himself on his seat, “my assistant and one of my students are working together on... something. it's revolutionary, i could say, but very dangerous. i’ve already advertised them about it but they insist on doing it anyway,” he sighed, tidying the ends of his furry moustache, “and my assistant, specifically, wants to know if you have some old materials that could possibly help them.”

“oh, of course! it’s always a pleasure to help piltover’s geniuses.”

» next week, he showed up with the said assistant, viktor, and it was love at first sight. he was gorgeous and intelligent too. oh, dear janna, he was the perfect kind of guy. you eyes didn't catch how he was less confident than how normally he is, or the way he smiled at you, of course you didn’t, it was the first time you’ve met each other, but professor knew you both well enough to know something was going on. and he was correct when he said viktor would come in there often, because, indeed, he did. way too often for someone who was meant to be just a customer.

» sometimes, heimerdinger would stay in the library, pretending to read some book, only to observe how you and viktor interacted around one another. it was crystal clear how you liked each other, but were rather afraid to confess your feelings, so the yordle made it his personal mission to help you two to get together.

» and when you first sorted and stored some books for viktor based on what he was reading these past days, it was when it hit him that he might be liking you. and later, once he reached the academy again, jayce and heimerdinger already were waiting for him in the lab, both of them noticing how tense he was as soon as he opened the door.

“viktor, my boy, what happened?” the yordle said, making up space on the couch so his assistant could sit by his side. which he did, leaving the books on the table and his cane near himself, often rotating it around its own axis, just so he could occupy his mind with something that wasn't you.

“it's nothing, professor,” but he knew viktor was lying. the way he played with his cane, or how he wasn't looking at their eyes, it all made him seem more and more suspicious.

jayce came closer, sitting at the edge of his rotating chair, touching viktor's shoulder lightly, “hey, if something is happening, you can count on us,” his eyes full of empathy, looking at his friend, “whatever it may be.”

soon, it clicked for heimerdinger. his assistant just came back from the library, he had books on his hands and was visibly shaken. of course! how could he forget about the librarian? “i might have a theory why he is like this, jayce,” he chuckled, leaving viktor flustered and jayce confused. he met jayce's curious gaze, his own smile bringing a smirk to his pupil's face.

“and what would be that theory?”, jayce asked, thinking about all the possibilities of what had happened to get viktor like that.

“he is in love, boy.”

jayce smirk grew to a smile, then this smile turned itself into a full laugh, shaking his whole body, rubbing his hand over his face, trying to recompose himself. “i can't believe it!”, he was trying to hold his laugh, while viktor looked at him, completely serious.

“then don't,” viktor said, giving his friend a death stare.

jayce took a deep breath, never wanting to see this look again on viktor's face, adjusting his posture and continuing, “tell me, who is the lucky one?”

“i don't want to say it.”

“please?”

“fine! ehhh... do you remember the libra-”

“HA! I KNEW IT WAS THEM!”, jayce shouted, throwing his hands in the air, celebrating.

» from this day on, jayce and heimerdinger often gave viktor advices on how to win over your heart (because they had a lot of love experiences before, obviously). one day, heimerdinger suggested for him to bring over some coffee and pastries for you while you were working, he even recommended the ones he knew you liked, the usual you ordered in the cafeteria on your lunch breaks with him.

» so your not-a-date happened. people were talking loudly on the streets, but not a single client in. the natural light coming from across the windows giving the whole place even more of a cozy feeling, the light breeze was getting colder but the coffee he brought for you was keeping you warm. there was soft music playing in the background – most clients liked it since it helped them to focus, or so they said –, but you couldn't concentrate since he was looking at you, stealing glances from in-between pages, admiring you while you pretended to read, just like him. little did he know your heart was already on his hands.

» after a particular day, where you finally confessed to one another, exchanging your firsts “i love you's”, you both started to be spotted together a lot, usually at library or, like now, at piltover’s academy, bringing your boyfriend resources useful for him and for jayce too.

you knocked on the lab's door, receiving an answer from the other side, a muffled “come in” from someone you assumed was jayce. you then opened the said door, greeting jayce quickly while you walked towards a desk, leaving everything upon it.

heimerdinger was near viktor's workbench, helping him solve an equation, both totally focused on their tasks. when the tiny creature noticed you, he immediately came to you, “oh, friend, you're here! what brought you in there?”

“i've invited them,” viktor said, putting his goggles over his forehead, reaching for his cane and standing up, leaning on it. “i wished my, ehhh, partner knew my work place. besides, they also got me the books we needed, right?”, you nodded your head, gesturing to the desk where the books were placed on.

heimerdinger looked at them, then to viktor, to you and back at him, “oh... so, now you're partners?”, heimerdinger raised his brows, tilting his head to the side, “well, i knew it would happen sometime. i mean, ever since i’ve seen you both together, i knew you would be together,” he smiled, his fur turning up, “oh, friend, one day, me and jayce realized why he was acting so weird around us, just after one of his visits to the library, it was because-”, heimerdinger was talking excitedly, gesturing with big motions until viktor cut him.

“oh, please, professor. stop it,” viktor said, walking up to you and standing by your side. redness was spreading over his cheeks and ears, “there's no need to share any of this.”

“but you were-”

“professor,” you called, looking at him with apologetic eyes, “sorry to interrupt you but my break is going to an end in-”, you looked at the lab's clock, “fifteen minutes, i must go now.” you've met heimerdinger and jayce with a goodbye, then, getting closer to viktor, tidying his hair and adjusting his goggles over it so it won't fall over his golden eyes again, “see you later, vik. i would like to hear about any stories you might want to tell me,” you kissed his cheek, happy on how he blushed even more after the little display of affection, walking away and leaving the lab.

“you are in love!”, jayce said in between a laugh, pointing towards viktor.

“fuck you.”

“language, boy!”
