5K EVENT SPECIAL | EVENT MASTERLIST

“What the hell is that,” Kunikuzushi said blankly.

“It looks like you! Doesn’t it?”

The badtz-maru plush stared back at him, daring him to deny it. Kunikuzushi glared at it with contempt rolling off of him in actual visible waves. “No. No, it really doesn’t.”

You held the plushie by his face and compared the unhappy expressions. They looked terrifyingly similar. It was hilarious, and so you burst out laughing at Kunikuzushi’s face.

Bullied, Kunikuzushi snatched the plushie off your grip and reared it far from your reach. “Why do you even have this?”

Kunikuzushi was scowling and trying his best to come off as intimidating, but with the badtz-maru plush in his grip, it was excruciatingly difficult to take him seriously. Or maybe it was because you’d gotten too used to him that it didn’t affect you. His attention was still attention from him.

You grinned and batted your eyelashes in a way you knew would make him falter. “I told you already. It reminded me of you.”

Kunikuzushi was still scowling, but his arm no longer extended like he was seconds away from chucking the palm-sized stuffed toy. It was still staring at him, and you were reminded of those pets looking like their owner videos.

“How long have you had this?” he asked, voice much quieter. His ears were red.

“Probably since you left to visit Japan.”

“A week?”

“A week!” You gasped. “That’s shorter than your last trip. Did you miss me that much?”

He cocked a brow. “This is more home than that shithole.”

You wanted to coo and tease him for that rare glimpse of vulnerability (even when veiled by his indirect wording), but you knew what he meant—you knew what it felt like. Your quiescent house only ever felt like a home when Kunikuzushi was here.

“Should I buy you a plushie that looks like me for you to take?” you wondered aloud, genuinely considering it. The stupid badtz-maru plushie you bought out of a moment of weakness from missing him, no matter how ridiculous, helped you when your arms felt a little lonely.

“No need.” Kunikuzushi threw the plushie to the bed, ignoring your alarmed shout. He drew you in by the waist and smiled in that deceptively sweet way only he could really pull off. “I’ll just take the real deal along with me instead.”

Hi! Is the master list a wip rn? It’s not working for me

Hi! Sorry to commandeer this post but there are a few things I want to say relating to this.

So over the past fortnight or so I've actually seriously been considering deleting my blog, or just stopping writing fanfiction entirely. Most of Two Birds has been deleted and I started getting rid of a few Teeth and Talons chapters, I think all the links to masterlists have been taken down and I've made most of the cbmthy chapters private.

I don't want to mislead anyone by speculating why I've been feeling the way I have, but I'm fatigued, exhausted, demotivated, and I feel used.

Fandom to me is supposed to be about community, not to be taken as charity. That means interacting with writers. Reblogging posts with more than just sorting tags. Commenting something other than asking to be on a taglist.

I want to stress there are over 3,600 of you following me, and yet only the first part of cbmthy, Unchained, and Stockholm Syndrome even a third of you have interacted with. Most stories I write now have around 100-300 hundred notes, a fraction of those being comments or reblogs, which is such a small percentage.

My problem isn't feeling there aren't enough likes/comments/reblogs.

My problem is when I now share a fic with you, less than one twelfth of you are even seeing/acknowledging it.

If you don't like my writing, I'm fine with that; there have been others who have been kind enough to express how much they do enjoy it, and sincere enough that I believe it.

But for anyone who doesn't enjoy my writing anymore, please unfollow me.

If you don't have the time to read the things I write anymore, please acknowledge that and unfollow me.

If you don't have the energy to enjoy fandom anymore, please unfollow me.

I'm more than happy if 100 or so of you enjoy a post, because that's one hundred people who have enjoyed something I've taken the time to write, but the remaining three and a half thousand of you, keeping quiet, not interacting, potentially not even seeing the stories I work hard on, just feel like dead weight.

A drabble, or a head-canon post takes me about two hours to write.

A 2k/3k word fic takes me around five hours to write.

A regular cbmthy chapter can take me up to eighteen hours to write. Not including editing.

So to answer your question: I don't know if it's a wip.

I haven't decided whether or not to fix all the links. I don't even know if I want people to have access to all the stuff I've written.

Hobbies are supposed to be fun, but if the discontent and resentment outweigh my enjoyment, then I have to take a break from it, either temporarily or permanently.

I'd love to write a book one day, and I think having this blog is a great way for me to practice my storytelling, but I can't do any of that if I don't have the will to write.

[hurlingdown]

I'm past episode 300 now!!! Giggling because giraffe Kaku I wasn't expecting, but it fits him so well.

I might as well send in separate asks for all the fics and drabbles with me renting about why I like them. o(≧▽≦)o working on the first one rn.

Here is the last ask that apparently didn't send through:

Spandam. What a pathetic man he is. I want him tied up and crying. I want him to have a vibrator shoved up his barely stretched ass, settled against his prostrate, and a cock ring so he can't orgasm.

I want to ride him. Make him thank me for doing so. Getting stimulation from both sides. He's so pathetic that he probably can't get any hole but mine, and that's only because I'm so nice and allowing him. Even when I get bored of him, I'll just leave him there. Tied up with the ring and the toy still going. Could be for some minutes, could be for hours. Maybe the rest of the day.

Ugh,,, what a pathetic man. I want to ruin him in both a good way and a bad way :))

Body modification with Franky (duh). Is he more sensitive or less sensitive in certain areas? Something to enhance his pleasure? Sometimes he likes to be used as just a flashlight?? Vibrating hole?? Idk, man, the possibilities. Just evil mad scientist/engineer (you) and your victim (Franky).

And that was basically the end! I also really hate Spandam for what he did to Robin. >:(( Also, I'm really understanding all the Frobin shippers tbh.

Saw that you write for Bleach too! Although I haven't watched it in years, dear lord had Grimmjow had a grip on my fantasies. Honestly, his unhinged smile pulled me in. Good looking arrancar deserves a good dicking down. I want him gasping, unable to get a word out, with my hands leaving bruises on his hips.

- 🎵

woahh that’s quick!!! one piece took me a whole two years to catch up to haha and halfway i took a super long break so embarrassingly i had to rewatch the entire thing. that’s why every scene is so deeply embedded in my head thoughh

been thinking about body modification with franky too. i think 🐉anon sent a similar ask to that. him letting you remove his limbs and strap his torso to the bed so you can relentlessly have your way with him... turning him into a sex machine and re-programming him so that his only directive is to pleasure you... opening up a valve for him so that you can finger him until he overheats, sending his system into overdrive.... ahhhh the possibilities.

frobin is a great ship by the way, one of the... three? four? hetero ships in op that i really like.

and yes good lordd grimmjow. and aizen. and ichigo. and byakuya. and yoruichi. and haschwalth. i'm naming everyone at this point, but my point is: bleach is just full of beddable characters. they deserve more recognition in the xreader tag!!!

[4th-make-quail]

Big Bang anon here! I was just looking for some challenging event to participate this winter, and wanted to know your opinion because you have a lot of fandom experience! And YES I also noticed that a lot of Big Bang challenges currently are like "minimum word count is 5k words", and no shade to mods but that's not a challenge skdjdhdjl

Do you have a favorite fandom event type? Care to share your best fandom event experience?

Good morning nonny! Ahhh I see, okay I getcha!! There are quite a few longer word count fandom exchanges if you're into those, but the winter ones are already well in progress iirc!

One good place to check for events like this is fandom calendar on dreamwidth - people advertise their stuff on there regularly (no need to make a dw account to look at it either).

If you want a longer event, I have a few friends who do the three longer minimum word count exchanges and they have fun, so here they are;

- Fic in a Box (fiab): a fanwork exchange with a large minimum gifting requirement and several unique features - this one is complicated, so check out the comm link! Unfortunately this one is well and truly over now, but it's there for next year - schedule is around August to September!

- Five Figure Fandom Exchange (fffx or fandom 5k): a multifandom gift exchange for fanfic of 10,000+ words, and for comics of least 10 pages or at least 40 panels. Currently ongoing, but there are pinch hits in need of picking up! Deadline is January 18th, so if you can write a pinch hit fandom, you could try that!

- High Adrenaline (previously Heart Attack): two weeks to write 10k (or draw a 25-panel, 10-page comic) and one week to edit. Noms open in January!

Completing all three of these makes you eligible for Triple Crown, which is a prize raffle for all three of these 10k exchanges.

For the next few months, most people will be doing Yuletide which I've talked about a bit here before, but it has a 1000 word minimum so might be of less interest to you if you wanted a challenge. Pinch hits for yuletide are being posted here this year, but there aren't any available rn, and as yuletide is for rare fandoms, ymmv as to how possible this is for you anyway.

The next thing I will personally be participating in is Candy Hearts, which is a valentines day themed low word count (300 words) exchange, schedule usually starting with noms in December. This replaces chocolate box which used to run at the same time, and it's really fun!

Others I usually do regularly:

- Seasons of Drabbles: new to me but very fun, has a new round every season! For strict drabbles specifically, currently in its autumn round so there will be a winter one to come I imagine!

- Goreswap: an exchange for gore etc, with genre type tags to pick. Schedule starts with noms in January usually! Not one I've done, but I have friends who love it and do it every year.

- Phoenix Down Exchange: my own full Final Fantasy franchise exchange, set to start noms in Feb as last year

- Rarepair Exchange: as it sounds, for rarepairs! Check the comm for definition of minimum fics required to be eligible. Usually starts around April

- Rare Male Slash Exchange: as rarepair ex above, but for m/m ships only and again with specific minimum fic number eligibility. This is older than rpe, but as it tends to run on a similar schedule (noms in May last year) I've not done it for the last two years

- Relationshipping: for incest ships! The last round was July to August, but it conflicted with other fan stuff for me so I didn't do this for a bit as well. Run by some very good people

Some others I know about from my exchange crew participing but have never personally done: kids come first (underage themed), consent issues (dub/noncon themed), trauma exchange (as the name suggests), trick or treat (complicated, I think halloween theme?? Unsure), nonconathon (dub/noncon, but with very fun freeform tags to pick and nominate), and then there are usually a hell of a lot of flash exchanges around as well, which run on quick turnarounds - you could try joining the Exchanges After Dark discord server, which is an 18+ nsfw server for exchanges. It's very big and has a channel for every exchange, so the best thing to do is mute them all apart from what ur interested in ime! It also has a fandomcalendar rss feed channel which could be relevant if u wanna see what's coming up!

As for your second question, my favourite fandom event experience is probably Unconventional Fanworks Exchange, which is unfortunately didn't run last year and I'm not sure if it will again 😭😭 its an exchange for, well, unconventional fanwork mediums, and I've had so much fun challenging myself in the two rounds I've participated in! They had things like newspaper articles, in universe academic documents, blueprints, paper dolls, all sorts! I'm hoping someone might take it over tbh, if the mod can't run it again.

Also, this year I did Small Web September for the first time and had sooo much fun! It's for working on any smallweb projects you might have; personal sites, neocities, coding etc. and it had a really great vibe, plus it was super fun seeing everyone's smallweb projects! Very inspiring!!

This ended up very long, but as u can see I am very passionate about these things! I run my entire fannish calendar around exchanges mixed with event weeks and I find it very rewarding - I'm always happy to introduce anyone to exchanges and talk through how to participate etc. so anyone can ask me about this at any time!

[babyleostuff]

HII! May I ask how you write all the amazing stuff you come up with? I really wanna start up my blog this summer since I’m free most of the time but I’m a bit stranded trying to figure out where to start with writing and booting your page!

hi hi! sorry you had to wait a bit for my response UNIVERSITY SUCKED OUT THE REST OF MY WILL TO LIVE but i'll try to make as much sense as i can.

(thank you for calling my work amazing, i'll never be able to stress it enough how much it means to me)

okay so this is going to be so so lame, but when it comes to writing itself my biggest tip is to just keep writing. you have to write, and write, and write - because that’s the only way you’ll find out your personal style, and what kind of genres you like to write, and how you like to format your writing, etc. also, when it comes to writing (imo), it’s not something you can master overnight, and you really have to keep practising. when i look back at my work from 6-7 months ago, all i can say is “ew, how could anyone ever read, and like that shit”. but that’s just because i keep writing, and i keep “evolving” as a writer, and i keep getting better and better (i think). you can obviously draw some inspiration from others’ work, and read all of those “how to write” guides, but at the end of the day it all comes down to practice. 

i think it’s also quite important to figure out which form of content you like writing the most, because then it’s just so much easier to write, and you don’t have to struggle as much. i sometimes have periods where i cannot for the love of god write a fic, or even a 300 word drabble, so i stick with headcanons (or if i have no inspiration at all i do really short forms of content like my tape series, or voicemails they leave you while they’re on tour series). sometimes, like rn, i struggle with headcanons so much, but find fics and drabbles so much easier to write, so i stick to them. that’s why i think you also have to figure out what you enjoy writing the most, and not pressure yourself to write headcanons or fics when you have no inspo for them at all. 

that’s also where requests come in. before, i used to write the requests as quickly as possible, because i didn’t want to keep the anons waiting for their request. but 70% of the time i wasn’t satisfied with the outcome at all - because it was so rushed, and i probably felt very uninspired to write it. but now i learned how to say “no”, and i wait for the perfect timing for a request - i’d rather let it sit in my inbox for a month or two, but wait for the perfect time, and write something good and something that i’m proud of, than something rushed, and not that good. 

in the end, i think you just have to have fun! try writing for different genres, forms, pairings, etc. i also really enjoy the formatting process, and adding the icons, pictures, different symbols, and changing the colours (now i just have to figure out how to change fonts), so i think that’s also something you can have a lot of fun with! 

sorry if this is really messy (i suck at giving advice), but if you have anymore questions let me know <3

20 questions for fic writers!

Thank you so much for tagging me @cassiaratheslytherpuff :)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

25, but two of them are collections of microfics (up to 50 words per story) and little ficlets (up to 300 words) I write every now and then for challenges in a HP fanfic discord server.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

60,754

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Only for a Harry Potter so far.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

My Boyfriend (Harry/Ron, 7k+, E)

Another Shot (Ron/Draco, 4K+, E)

First Time Falling (Harry/Ron, 3k+, T)

Small Delights (31 microfics with various ships and ratings)

A Favourite (Hermione/Ron, 2k+, T)

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

I do reply to all comments because they brighten my day whenever I get them. I don’t think that writers have to respond though. Writers invest a lot of time and creativity to create something for us for free and our payment is kudos & comments. That’s fair imo ;)

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably My Boyfriend

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

I guess almost all of my fics.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I got hate on one fic that touches on a difficult topic, but I was smart enough to enable comment moderation for that fic, and I also tried AO3s block feature for the first time :)

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

I do, but I’m still kinda newish to write it. Check out my E-rates fics and you know what kind haha.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Didn’t write a crossover yet.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

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

No. And I don’t think I would have much fun. Too much pressure to get ready with my part(s).

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

First place gets shared by Romione and Ronarry. Though I shipped Romione already while reading the books, so…it’s probably Romione.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Just have drafts so far. I have so many ideas for multi chapter fics, but my writing muse is still on strike rn.

16. What are your writing strengths?

To describe feelings, I suppose.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Unfortunately, I’m not good at outlining fics. That’s why I had never written more than a one-shot haha.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I’m learning italian rn, so maybe one or two sentences might make it into a fic one day.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Twilight. Left that fandom pretty fast though and the fics were deleted a loooong time ago.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

That’s a tough one. My Boyfriend definitely is one of my favs, but I loved writing Orchestra. It’s not really one of my more popular fics, but I think I did a good job with it and I’m still very proud.

Tagging @reallybeth9 @voldemorts-tap-shoes @adenei @lumosatnight to answer the questions too if you like.

P.S Four Gallons of Oblivious by @cassiaratheslytherpuff is a masterpiece and one of my all time favs <3

GOR Milestone Celebration!

Celebration time! 

So it seems that I have passed two major follower milestones that I didn’t celebrate at the time because I wasn’t in the right mindset. But now I am so let’s celebrate together, shall we? 

First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has clicked that follow button (not you, p@rn bots!) and tolerated me enough to stick around. I can’t thank you enough for your support, your comments, your reblogs and your likes. 

This celebration is open to all my followers and there’s no limit on the amount of asks. Just send in as many hearts as you like! It will be up until Tuesday Jan 24 11 pm CET.

💛 - Change POV - Let’s shake things up in my masterlist! Have you read one of my stories and always wanted to see the POV of another character? Now’s your chance! Send me the title of my fic, the scene you want me to rewrite and the character you want to hear from and I’ll write the scene from their POV. For example “Water - Bilbo”, then I will write that drabble from Bilbo’s POV instead of reader’s. (Note: with oneshots or multichapters you need to pick a specific scene, drabbles I can do the complete thing)

🧡 - GIF requests - Send me an orange heart and a gif (this only works when you’re off anon, sorry!) and I’ll write you a little drabble (max 300 words) about it. You can find several gif requests from previous sleepovers in my masterlist as an example

❤️ - Valentine Baby - Love letters! They’re back :) Send me a red heart and a character, and maybe I can persuade them to finally confess their love for you in a letter! Please request these off anon so I can send them to your ask box! 

💜 - Drabble requests - I’m opening up drabble requests because all my WIPS hate me and I can use a little change. Send me a prompt from one of these prompt lists, together with a character and I’ll see what I can do! 

Trauma

Hurt/comfort 

Random prompts

Characters I write for: basically everyone from TH/LOTR (except for Gollem, Azog, the Master etc you know the type), I do not write for the Silm and RoP 

💙 - Postcards - Send me a character and I’ll send you a postcard based on your first date! Add which universe you want it to be in, ME or modern AU!

🖤 - Wild Card - You read that right! A Wild Card! Were you waiting for one of the old hearts to come back this sleepover? Or were you hoping for something else? Send in a black heart and what you want me to do and who knows... it might be your lucky day! Just remember, no fic requests please, you have the yellow, orange or purple heart for that purpose. 

Everything will be posted in the next few weeks, but please keep in mind that I do have a fulltime job, a family and other obligations to fulfill! 

Permanent taglist to get the word out:

[the-bi-space-ace]

Thanks @saturn-sends-hugs for tagging me!

Rules: Post the first sentence in your last 10 works; if you don’t have 10, do as many as you have.

The dark halls of the factory loomed over them like a storm cloud on Kamino. This one is from the first chapter of the sequel to "You're Calling Me Home Like A Ship That Got Wrecked". (psst I am 6k words into that chapter rn)

Fear is a natural response. Everyone is afraid of something. I felt like you at least deserved the first two sentences of this one. This is from something I've been working on for like... 6 months lol. I keep plucking away at it and never really finishing it. The batch and their fears and how they've dealt with them.

Crosshair finished putting his rifle in its case, cleaning off some oil and gunpowder before he did so. I don't even know what this idea is? It reads like the first draft of Chapter 1 of A Matter of Trust but I can't be sure tbh.

Echo turned onto his side, feet kicking at Crosshair's under the blanket as they got comfortable. Oh this is fluff. Nothing but tooth rotting ridiculously cute and sweet fluff. I never finished it. I think it's only 300 words. But the premise is like. The first day Echo and Crosshair actually get along. And it is so sweet.

Echo’s feet pounded on the ground as they carried him towards the ship - blood rushing in his ears while the collapsing building shook the earth. I had this idea to start writing little baby fics about head canons that I have (or trying to write them and fit them into my fics somehow) and this one in particular is focused on the head canon I have that the first time Echo hugged Crosshair he went: gross then hugged Echo back really tight. Fluffy as hell. This first line does not really convey 'fluff' but trust me. It's fluffy.

Crosshair registered the brief moment Echo froze. Wow I really have a theme going on here. Echo again. Aaaaaaand Crosshair again who would've guessed. More of them learning how to get along but this particular bit is actually something that would end up in... maybe the middle of a fic? Crosshair says something shitty and Echo gets pissed. That's as far as I got. Figured it could go into a larger fic eventually.

When Hunter offered Echo a place with Clone Force 99 he had known things wouldn’t be smooth sailing immediately.  Wow shocker it's about Echo again! The first line actually doesn't represent the fic idea super well. Echo dissociates and Hunter eventually needs to call Rex because he can't figure out how to snap Echo out of it. Fluff and comfort to follow!

Long before any of the other squad members were roused from their sleep Hunter was up, staring at his comm like it would come to life at any moment. Yet another one where I really don't know where I was going with it. Hunter is stressed about... something??? I'm sorry I am lost lol

Hunter watched through the slats as the group of droids and the Seppie general ran down the hall to investigate their little distraction. Aaaaaaaah this is a very very early draft for a chapter in "You're Calling Me Home Like A Ship That Got Wrecked". The rescue scene was originally very different.

Their escape had been going well, for the most part. Spoiler alert: their escape did not go well. This is a random scene? I wrote a random scene where they all get back from something traumatizing and it's the comfort part of the hurt/comfort fic! I tend to write scenes when they come to my mind and then fit them into larger ideas later on. I can not believe there were actually ten wips in my drafts.... the scary part is that there are more lol

[caught-in-the-filter]

hmmm age kink??

(not in a 300 year old pirate way 💀)

Thanks! 😊❤️😘

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know

Gonna put this one under a read more I guess and overshare a little lol

I guess it’s complicated and situational? Like. Idk if it’s necessarily an “age kink” per se, or if my crushes just happen to usually be older than me lol. Like I mean it might get mentioned, but I usually don’t focus on the difference much if there is one I guess.

If we’re talking like roleplaying age difference though, which can have some overlap with my daddy kink answer, I think it’s more about experience than age for me? I’m open about the fact that I’m still a virgin at 27 in the strict sense lol, I’ve only physically been with myself and silicone. So like I’ll absolutely devour Captain Duckling CS fics or Emma x Deckhand Hook or professor AUs etc, and I do love the fictional age gap paired with the experience gap there (whether or not it’s the full 300 year gap lol). SilverHook is also super hot, so like there is an attraction there, it just… depends, I guess. Like it’s not necessarily always the reason for attraction, but it can be a bonus perk sometimes lol.

(Like, tmi but the few times I’ve tried “daddy” in conversation, they were actually around my age, so it was more of an experience gap thing because I’m very much a “teach/show me how to x” person rn. But I didn’t use it with my a bit older friends, though it wouldn’t have been a turn-off if they’d asked for it, because I’m comfortable enough with them specifically to play around with that emphasis on age. And the one person I let try calling me “mommy/daddy” is also just a little older than me lol, so it’s more about the sub/domme dynamic and looking for a comfortable title.)

But age gap in terms of fantasy can also overlap with cnc fantasies for me sometimes, so I do have a bigger interest in self-indulgent fiction of it than what I would actually want or be into irl. (Which goes deeper into the sort of start of my cnc kink curiosities, but that goes more off-topic for this ask and other people have worded the feelings much better than I can anyway.)

… that’s probably a longer answer than you might’ve wanted, but… yeah.

[auugustus]

(i swear that i’ll be yours) ‘till forever falls apart.

Lilia knows that everyone around him is thinking the same thing— thinking that something is undoubtedly wrong with him. If he didn’t know any better, he’d feel the same. At first, he’d wander the empty halls searching for something to quell the heartbreak in his chest. 

Everybody knows he can’t handle another heartbreak— another tragedy to be written into history for the future generations to learn. Yet, he still took that breath when he saw you on that night. Despite what he knew and what was going to come, he still took that breath— took that step. 

Maybe he loved you too much. He’d claw the sun out of the center of the solar system just for you. Because you are his sun— the brightest thing in his world and the person who keeps him alive. 

Lilia craves the warmth of your love. It’s an addiction— one that will kill him soon, but he can’t bring himself to stop. He wants to bask in your golden light. He wants so badly to hold you and never let go. Lilia doesn’t want to keep losing you. 

These days, he’s been doing fine by distracting himself with Night Raven College and Malleus and Silver and Sebek. But he knows he won’t stay distracted forever. He can’t stop the heartache from clawing at this throat and clutching his heart. 

These days, the Phantom Commander of the Briar Valley is dormant— sleeping under the skin of Lilia Vanrouge, the Vice Dorm Leader of Diasomnia. Lord Vanrouge of the Witch of Thorns’ Court stays quiet until he is called to speak his piece.

Soon, Lilia thinks, the ancient House of Vanrouge will die with him. It’s a shame really, that the next generation of Kings and Queens would not see the House of Vanrouge. No longer would they serve as the sword and right arm of the Monarch of the Briar Valley. And it’d be this way all because of him.

Because of you. 

(Because of his selfishness). 

When he takes that first step, he hears the draw of a gasp and the sound of something shattering in the background. It’s all in his head. It’s a warning to run— to escape from his madness. 

But without you, he’ll lose his heart and with you, he’d lose his mind. He’s getting old, isn’t he? Maybe if he were younger, he would’ve chosen to stay away. If it were back then, he would choose the best course of action for the Crown. 

For Malleus and the Briar Valley. 

He’s getting tired and growing wearier by the day. Time seems to move too quickly without you here.

And when you are with him…

Well… time seems to freeze, and he’ll lose you before he could even blink. 

Your radiance outshines the sun in the Mirror Chamber— you’re the brightest person he’s ever met. He’s drawn into your orbit— feels your pull just as the oceans feel the moons. Lilia is so in love with you that he loses you every single time and dies for it inside. 

He doesn’t want to lose you again. In fact, he can’t handle another loss— it’s like ripping the sun out of the sky and expecting everything to stay right. 

You’re the sun— his sun, and maybe he’s just another star in the solar system. He could even be one of the hundred moons. But without you what is there to living? 

Lilia would die before seeing you ripped away from him again. 

(He’d die trying to save you despite how powerless he really is).

woo hoo more lilia angst !!  school is officially over ! (except summer school starts next monday)

the next update for my fic will be a while away since there’s only 300 words on the doc rn

feel free to leave me an ask or a msg !! (note that i won’t be writing your request if i feel i am unable to :( writer’s block sucks and i can’t write on command)

[honeydazai]

I FEEL LIKE FYODOR WOULD BE A HUGE BRAT TAMER LIKE IMAGINE THE READER IS ALWAYS BEING BRATTY LIKE TALKING BACK TO HIM, DISOBEYING HIM, AND EVEN FLIRTING WITH HIS FRIENDS BUT THEN ONE DAY HE HAD ENOUGH OF HER BRATTINESS AND DECIDES TO PUT HER IN HER PLACE (screaming and crying rn)

anon, you've ruined me - i've always thought of Fyodor as someone who prefers a partner who easily submits to him, but this? this is so hot i- 😭😭 sudden brat tamer Fyodor brain rot, I can't do this, how have i never thought of this before??

I've actually started writing a brat tamer Fyodor fic just now. It's at 300 words already, help-

expect that to be posted soon, but for now, here's a drabble and some headcanons because i had so so many thoughts 😎😎 brat tamer Fyodor is my new religion

click here for the brat tamer Fyodor headcanons

───

FYODOR, who notices Nikolai and you getting a little too friendly with each other, Nikolai's arm wrapped around your waist as you laugh at one of his jokes, and even though he knows you're doing this on purpose to rile him up, he can't help but be annoyed by your sudden closeness to Nikolai and Sigma.

The moment the two of you are back in the privacy of his own rooms, he's ordering you to undress, watching you with raised eyebrows. Of course, his order has only left you with one choice, it being to continue disobeying.

You were going to finish what you had started, especially since you were quite certain you were going to be watching your bratty attitude after whatever punishment Fyodor had planned for you today.

Therefore you refuse to strip, your arms crossed in front of your chest to underline your attitude, and Fyodor only smiles in response, his calm facade back in place. Somehow, that's more terrifying than any emotional outburst would be.

“Ah, so you still haven't given up your act, hm?” His voice is a low coo, his head tilted to the side. “I'm feeling generous, which is why I'll give you another chance. Undress.”

It's obvious to the both of you that you're not going to obey as you smirk down at him, all acted confidence and fake bravado. “No. What are you going to do about it, hm?”

In hindsight, it would've been better not to challenge him. Of course a few clothes weren't going to stand in his way. You're not sure where he had gotten the knife from, but a moment later, the fabric is ripped and falling off your body.

Using your surprise to his advantage, he's pulling you forward and bending you over his lap, your stomach on his lap while your head is facing the ground, your ass raised.

You realise too late what's about to happen.

His palm comes down hard on your bare ass, the shock causing you to yelp and jolt forwards, but Fyodor's other hand, placed on the small of your lower back, is keeping you in place.

You're crying out with each hit, your thighs trembling and you can only imagine how painful sitting down is going to be the next few days. That's what Fyodor is aiming for, of course.

To your own horror, you eventually realise that ever so slowly, you're getting wetter and wetter, squirming on Fyodor's lap. For some reason, the stinging pain of the slaps slowly mixes with pleasure, and you can't help but let out a moan as his hand came down on your already hurting and surely bruising ass.

Fyodor's laugh is condescending, causing a shiver to run up your spine as his fingers dip between your legs, gathering some of the wetness there.

“Oh, you're getting off on this? You're so naughty. What a shame, though - it's not a punishment if you're enjoying it. I guess I'll have to think of something else to punish you with.”

[if you liked this, consider tipping me on ko-fi! it'd mean a lot!]

Holi Celebrations!

HEYYOOOO! So this was pretty last minute, and idek if people would want to participate, but I have 700 followers rn (how does that happen?! IMMA DIEE 😭😭😭) (also if this fails i'm gonna delete it and we can pretend like it never existed kthanxbai)

As most of you know, I’m a desi (and proud <3), and holi is one of my favourite festivals! It’s the festival of colours, and the joy and energy is palpable in the air, esp where I live! (not currently, coz of COVID 😭😭). You can read more about the history and background here and here.

I wanted to spread the joy with everyone here, desis and non-desis alike, so hence, this!! You can write a fic, create a moodboard, make GIFs, make art, whatever you feel like! The main theme surrounding this whole challenge is COLOURS.

Each original work will have to be related to a colour, or the meaning behind the colour. For instance:

Red is for energy, passion and danger

Orange is for creativity, youth and enthusiasm

Yellow is for happiness, hope and spontaneity

Green is for nature, growth and harmony—but also wealth and stability

Blue is for calm, trust and intelligence (my fav lolol)

Purple is for luxury, mystery and spirituality

Pink is for femininity, playfulness and romance

Brown is for wholesomeness, warmth and honesty

Of course, if it means something else for you, you can centre your work around that meaning. :) oh, and incase of any doubts, just drop me an ask or a message and I'll be happy to answer all queries!!

Deadline: 30th April, 2021. (can be extended, dw :) )

Rules (in case of fics):

No sexual situations with minors, no bodily functions, and no snuff. Non-con and dub-con must fall within the bounds of commonly posted dark fics.

300-400 words minimum, no max! (Please put your story under a cut after the first 150 words or so 🙏🏻)

Choose a colour and mention the reason behind choosing the same. (eg. A fic about Ransom and Purple, since it symbolises luxury./ him being enamored by the colour because of how rich it looked OR even about the festival of holi itself, whatever you feel like! :))

Original works only! (it can be part of a series, as a separate segue/oneshot)

You don't need to follow me to join in, everyone is welcome here!

Please tag me (aka @bluemusickid) so that I can reblog as many fics as possible.

Include the tag #LexisHoliDay2021, and #bluemusickid700challenge 

Any genre accepted! Can be fluff, angst, AU, dark, etc.

Can be reader insert or original characters.

Please include warnings where needed (for smut, explicit language, explicit sexual content, non-con, dub-con, dark fic, 18+, etc.) as well as warning tags.

Any Marvel or MCU Characters allowed, in addition to Chris and his characters. Other fandoms welcome, just send an ask so that I’m in the loop. 😊

Tagged by @rhubarbdreams to look up and post my top 3 ao3 tags! (Go to your works section and check the filters there)

Not shocked by these themes, I know I have a TypeTM, and the established as /1 is just because of the many series where the ship gets together in part 1... but I'm honestly a bit surprised there weren't any Good Omens specific tags in the top 3, fairly certain there used to be some higher up xD but two are still in the Top 10! & I looked up my top relationships too while I was at it:

Drabble of course also high up xD love all those wordcount writing exercises, I tag single-quintuple (so 100 words exactly, or 200, 300, 400 or 500 words exactly) drabbles with the 'drabble' tag, and I made another 'not exactly a drabble exercise' tags for fic that are for example exactly 5k long xD

And prompt fill is also very high up, wow! And here I'm still saying I'm no good at prompts lol xD maybe it's just those vague prompt lists I don't like...

I wish there was a way to see all of my tags lined up like this, or the way it's done graphically for collections! Anyone know how and where to make ao3 show that?

Anyhow, alrighty now bc I have some time rn and this is behind readmore already anyway, for once not just five ppl but I'll try to list all the writers I can think of xD this'll be long, but at least I'm not on a tag meme binge rn, so it'll still only be the one tag by me for everyone today... probably xD

So- tagging, if you want to do it, @daniwouldnever @smittyjaws thx, @demonicneonfishy @aeternumregina @ongreenergrasses @imagitory @innocent-gayngel @cryhardanddanceharder thx @morallygreywaren @betweencrossedblades @salzundhonig @bookerandy @puppiesforfeminism @nicky-olives @aw-hawkeye-no @aahaanaa @banashee thx, @schokosweety @lestrade-london @dauntlessdiva @cookie-sheet-toboggan @toboldlynerd @nomi--sunrider @pers-books @startrekgeorgiouery @onaperduamedee @mariapurt @accio-baqat @justanalto @sad-tunes @chateaupicard @maybebrilliant @verbumproxen @purlturtle @apparitionism @lonely-night @francesca-wayland @amysnotdeadyet thx @blackacre13 @estel-of-irysi thx @spacewitchqueen thx

...and I probably still missed some xD Hope I at least got my mutuals <3 if not Please Still Feel Tagged, just my bad memory to blame here!

Edit: @banashee had the idea to also check bookmark stats, so here are mine (Go to your bookmarks - filters):

Tags pretty similar, but the relationships a bit different xD

I know joenicky is just from aq fics which I bookmarked a lot of also for @andromaquynh-ficrecs rec list prep, bering&wells I've just not written much yet but that def deserves its place, and uhum Yea. Drarry. Lol no comment

[unhinged-summer-fun]

wip-date

yeah whatever portmanteaus make me feel something other than manic depression

i know i've been pretty gogogo on mesh network (a lie, but one i tell myself so it's true) but I do want to make some headway into my other WIPs. so here's where i'm at.

Top Priority

mesh network - almost finished with ch3, should be up today. i've got most of the story fleshed out in outline form (skeletoned out?) and i've been thinking of this AU for two years straight so it's coming pretty naturally to me.

30 for 300 follower celebration - there's only 4 of 30 slots taken so far. but i'm gonna get on those soon. still gotta make a masterlist for it. [adds to todoist]

belated af birthday fic for lellow - it's over 6.7k right now, but the latter half is super montagey and i'm trying to ramp myself up into being a story glider again. feel like a terrible friend, it's been four months.

Middling Priority

TBAD - chapter 7 is started (like around 3k rn) but I'm still feeling kind of directionless with the series as a whole. paranoid evil depression brain says i bit off more than I could chew. may do a reread once birthday fic is done to ~rekindle the love~

triptych - I have all of four paragraphs written for chapter 8. the end of the previous chapter kind of fucked up the initial timeline i'd had for this act of the story. i think i'm seeing a bit of a pattern with me avoiding writing smut lol.

art of second place - outline made, ch9 not started. it's a bit faster paced/covers a lot more time than previous chapters, so it's kind of outside of my current writing style. this chapter ends with the beloathed Plot returning. could be the reason for the block.

slut djarin - kinda lost in the weeds for ch7. there's two huge monologues in it, one of which will have a lot of hilarious wild smut, there's an orgy planned, and then a lot of plot happens which isn't really the point of the fic. thinking of starting from scratch and doing it kind of how i did the first three chapters (writing while watching, pausing to get lines correct, tedious but keeps me in the moment)

(other account) tusken din - whoo boy. where this current book (2 of 4) is sitting at, it's at over 26k and we aren't even like officially halfway through the season itself. this one's supposed to be a romance but it's really more of a solid coming of age tale. may pull back and revise from on high, or i might just try powering through to the very end. the document is very long and very intimidating.

collab with katee - still in outline mode, we're both very busy with very amazing and indulgent stories so i get it, but I wanna put some kind of oomph toward it. perhaps this weekend if i'm not too worn out.

Low Priority/On Hold

flicker 2 - max is on a business trip from his usual job of being my muse. also i don't really wanna write anxiety that's not mesh network

flicker 3 - this has three words in the outline: "the collaring one" and again (see above) smut issues

mando!reader/civilian!din - issues with din's role. considering just leaning into the absurdity of it and making him go full y/n and be a medicmechanicbabysitterpilot who's never held a gun. i think playing with that game would be fun.

bobadinnec wingfic - premise mostly written, still a lot of emotional heavy lifting to hammer out.

catboy javi g - officially delegated to Things To Handle After 4/22

whiskey/psychic!ofc - i love you joey and i think of you every time i paint my nails blue i just cannot concentrate on this many things

slow burn din/reader - at this point it's just a twinkle in my eye but i think it has potential, if i can dedicate enough time/effort to it. at this point in my life, i cannot.

daddy frank castle - it's more of a personal character study of him rather than something i'd want to share. it's rough and messy and doesn't really have a reason for existing. if you'd like to see it anyway please let me know.

Misc Housekeeping

moreno tentacles - this one's 4k and ready to go but i have a blood pact with katee that is as yet unfulfilled so i shall respect my blood brother and hang onto this.

that's all! please submit more 30 for 300 drabble ideas!
