Writing Tag Game

I was tagged by @kittynomsdeplume, @noire-pandora, AND @hezjena2023. Thank you thank you thank you! I'll tag @the-cryptographer, @frostyfelassan, @piecesofsolaswriting, and @beaubartley.

1.How many works do you have on AO3?

Fourty-Nine. Going for that big five-oh this week.

2.What’s your total AO3 word count?

*checks* 291,655 words

3.What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Listen Closely (Skyrim. Cicero x f!Listener) - 104 Kudos

Reunion (Mass Effect. Shepard x Thane Krios) - 52 Kudos

Care to Dance? (Dragon Age. NSFW. Varric Tethras x Cassandra Pentaghast) - 52 Kudos

A Chance Encounter (Dragon Age. NSFW. The Iron Bull x f!Trevelyan/Solas x f!Trevelyan) - 49 Kudos

The Inquisitor's Intentions (Dragon Age. NSFW. Solas x f!Trevelyan) - 46 Kudos

4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I didn't used to when I started out, I didn't quite have a good handle on the process. Now I respond to every single one. I want commenters to know how much I appreciate them taking the time to comment and comment more!

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Ooof. Angtiest? *looks* So I've got some Solavellan pieces in compliations which are pretty angsty, but I tend to have hopeful endings at the very least. I guess "angstiest" ending would be one of these two:

The Scars (Mass Effect Andromeda)

Just (Dragon Age. One Sided Aveline x Isabela)

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Happy endings! Yay! I do a lot of happy endings, but I think happiest would be one of these two:

I Can Only Hope You Won't Be Too Disappointed (Dragon Age. Nathaniel Howe x f!Cousland)

You Composed the Cadence of my Heart (Dragon Age. Isabela x Bethany Hawke)

7. Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't actually! I once accidently referred to Thedas as Tamriel in a fic once, but that's as close as I've gotten.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not in comments or to my face. I'm sure people have said unflattering things about my work, but not to me. Fuck em. I write this shit for me.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I write far more smut than is healthy for someone as Ace as I am. I mostly write f/m stuff, I've done a little f/f (working on one atm), and I've brushed up against m/m in group sex situations. I used to write a lot of m/m a lifetime ago, so I'll probably get back to it at some point.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Le gasp, no. I didn't even know this was a thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Like Hez, @piecesofsolaswriting recorded one of my fics as an audiofile, if that counts:

Take My Hands Podfic (Dragon Age. Fenris x f!Hawke)

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I haven't. The idea is very appealing though.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

OOOOOOOOOOOOF. Asking the hard questions. Based on my wordcount you would probably guess that it would be Solavellan (and I do love it, don't get me wrong) but I'm very partial to Anders related ships. I've personally written a lot of Anders ships (Including my crackship Anders/Trevelyan which I ADORE) and I just like that boy.

So basically like... I don't know dude. All them.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I try not to leave WIPs behind as a rule but I have a couple falling behind that I'm worried about:

a Mass Effect Andromeda fic following Sara from her almost death on Habitat 7 through the game dealing primarily with her relationship with SAM but also her internalized fear of Turians and how it conflicts with her attraction for Vetra and the complexities of the human condition

a Dragon Age fic where Regan Hawke arrives at Skyhold with her entire family (Fenris, their two sons, Bethany, Isabela, and Carver).

15. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm very good at dialog, particularly banter. Also metaphors.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Transitions are the worst for me. Going from one location/time/situation to another is a chore, I just want to be there (explains why I write so many contextless one-shots). Smut takes me forever to write and I have a very hard time injecting emotion into it.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it depends on the fic honestly. I use a lot of Elvhen in my fics, any fic I write with Zevran has some Spainish (Antivan), and I've touched French (Orlesian), Tevene, and Qunlot. Sometimes it's translated by the characters, sometimes I provide a glossary in the notes, and sometimes I don't give any translation at all. It depends on the POV and the tone of the work honestly.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Dragon Age. It's all that damn Egg's fault.

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Ooooof. Favorite Fic... I love everything I've written tbh, so I'm just going to do it by category:

Favorite SFW One-shot:

Between Rocks and Hard Places (Dragon Age) - A character study of Loghain Mac Tir set just after the Landsmeet and taking the Grey.

Favorite NSFW One-shot:

This is How it Starts (Dragon Age. NSFW. Solas x f!Trevelyan) - Desdemona confronts Solas privately and they have a heated discussion.

Favorite Ongoing Long Fic:

In Dreams Awake (Dragon Age. Will be NSFW at some point. Solas x f!Hawke) - After escaping from the Nightmare, Hawke wanders the Fade, searching and hoping for a way out. What she finds is something quite different.

Favorite New Fic (It's my blog I'll put in as many favorites as I want):

I'm Sorry I Ruined Your Party (Dragon Age. Might be NSFW at some point, haven't decided) - A short chaptered, POV switching romp with the DA2 kids surrounding an unexpected arrival in Kirkwall.

hello! ✨ first of all, i love your writing & am very happy to have found your blog !! i couldn't find any guidelines or rules about requesting tho, so sorry if this is off. buuut, could i please have some fluff for victor with mc who loves to hug/cuddle, but she never had anyone she could cuddle with (maybe no one liked it except for her?) so she is cautious when hugging victor & makes it short but it is obvious she wants tHe EMbRAcE™. i need fluff. thank you so much for writing for this fandom!

Hello!! AAh thank you so much and don’t worry I don’t rlly have any rules or guidelines. For the most part I’ll write the requests that inspire me and as long as it puts an idea into my head I’ll write it  o(≧▽≦)o

And thank you so much for your request as well (although it’s a bit overdue aaa), I had fun writing it and I hope it satisfies the fluff want!!

Pairing: Victor x MC (she/her pronouns)

Wordcount: 1k ~

Genre: Fluff (with just a tint of angst but not rlly tbh)

Description: MC just wants the EMbRAce from Victor and unfourtunately for her, her mind is good at wandering...

♡          ♡           ♡

Needy

A once in a lifetime moment. The moment when MC found out that her love wasn’t one-sided. Working under Victor, the CEO of LFG, was in all honesty both a blessing and a curse. Under Victor Li’s supervision MC had grown as a business woman. She became more assertive and bloomed under Mr. Li’s expertise. Unfortunately for MC she fell for him. Of course right? The one forbidden relationship. Even if Victor did reciprocate Mc’s feelings, then it would be looked down upon. Others might think that she seduced Loveland’s most attractive bachelor. That she seduced her boss to further her career. This was the last thing she wanted. Her family hadn’t worked all their lives for this to be the end of the company. 

Although, of course MC ended up stupidly confessing to him, while drunk cause let’s admit it, how else could she have gathered the courage (and stupidity) to do so.

What occurred afterwards could only be described as pure bliss. Maybe except for one minor detail. 

But it truly was one minor detail that in MC’s opinion used too much of her brain storage than actually  needed. It was just that she wanted to cuddle, to embrace and to just generally be more affectionate with Victor. But it wasn’t like physical affection wasn’t exchanged between the two. But more like MC was too shy to initiate anything, afraid that Victor would reject her advances. Although even she knew that it sounded ridiculous, but still the anxiety remained. 

The times whenever Victor initiated anything came few and far in between. Victor did seem to enjoy being in a relationship judging the abundant of smiles that were directed towards MC. What before was a stoneface without any mercy, now became much more varied canvas. From a happy Victor to sad-drunk Victor MC was blessed with an assortment of facial expressions from him. But physical affection didn’t come in abundance. 

Victor and MC walked side by side and in the midst of the busy city, walked into the all familiar side street where Souvenir was located. When alone MC noticed Victor’s presence a lot more. When alone there were no distractions to calm her fleeting heart. She felt compelled to reach out to him, to bask in the physical affection she craved. Not in a sexual way, but rather as a way to feel grounded. A way to feel secure in an unkind world. While MC didn’t have a ton of dating experience, all the people she had been with were emotionally and physically distant. In her previous relationships none of her partners were huge fans of PDA and eventually MC just simply stopped asking for it. Even though she desperately wanted it. With no loving figures present in her world anymore she learnt to deny her wants. She had friends sure, but even they didn’t carry the warmth she was searching for. 

And now, she was in a relationship with Victor. But she didn’t know of it was right to be greedy in terms of affection? What if Victor just absolutely hated physical affection and would then come to hate her as well? What if Victor didn’t like needy partners? What of Victor just didn’t like being in close proximity to her?

Sure, MC knew that this was kind of a reach. But Victor really was unpredictable. Stupid Victor and his big back that she longed to embrace. Stupid Victor and his inviting hand that she just wanted to hold. And stupid Victor and his unreadable face that she wanted to adore in kisses. But these were just wants and wistful longings. Why was she so needy? Being lost in her thoughts, Victor noticed absent eyes in MC. Was she perhaps sick since normally she would chatter and talk like no tomorrow. Perhaps she was feeling unwell?

“MC, if you aren’t feeling well then we should go home,”

“Oh-” MC was pulled out of her thoughts and quickly shot a smile at her significant other. She was trying not to let her previous thoughts affect her. 

“I’m fine Victor, just have some things on my mind,” Victor clearly still concerned with MC didn’t completely buy her response.

“You could tell me if you want to MC?”

She strongly considered telling him but she wondered if she would just come off as childish and immature. But honesty was vital in a relationship and MC knew that.

“Uhm, to be honest I’m a bit embarrassed to say it but I’ll tell you Victor,” MC smiled sheepishly and felt her ears turning red.

“Mhmm,” Victor smiled seeing MC as her usual self again, all blushy and adorable..

“It’s just that AA, I would like to hug more and shit!” MC then immediately turned around, way too embarrassed to see Victor’s reaction. He probably thought she was one big weirdo or something.

A second later she was engulfed in his arms. Her head placed right above Victor’s beating heart whose beats matched hers.

“It’s fine dummy, you can hold my hand or ask for hugs whenever you want to,” Victor said this with a tone that made MC’s cheeks heat up. How could Victor be so unfaced and her, a complete tomato. MC was grateful for that Victor wasn’t able to see her face and just let the stupidest smile come though. Still buried in his chest, she tightened her hold around him and listened to his heart beat, it matched hers perfectly. 

“Mhmm,” She welcomed Victor’s clean scent.

“Thanks Victor,” She mumbled into his chest. Not wanting to let go. To reassure her affections were reciprocated. And Victor almost beat himself up for not noticing MC’s crave for affection earlier. Maybe for once he was the dummy…
