Mistletoe Headcanons with Porthos
Tumblr media
Hey my lovelies, back with another headcanon! Credit to cafekitsune for the banner and the divider!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⭐Porthos doesn't intend to get you under the mistletoe. He wished he was as smooth as Aramis, but when you've suddenly both walked under the mistletoe at the same time, Porthos isn't complaining.
⭐Porthos plays it off cool as you both are looking up at the mistletoe dangling above you. Porthos becomes determined to make this moment count. He's got one opportunity to make a good impression.
⭐If you're nervous about being under the mistletoe, Porthos will allow you to forget the entire thing. He would not force you to kiss him. He only wants you to kiss him if you want to.
⭐Porthos would make a flirtatious comment before leaning in. He wants to make you smile, shake your head, and give a rebuttal of your own. He enjoys some flirtatious banter.
⭐The kiss is soft and gentle. It's also short. An opportunity for more if you want to. Porthos hopes you'll want to kiss him more. He's using it to test the boundaries between you.
⭐As you two part from the mistletoe, Porthos would follow. He'd use the time to talk, to get to know you better or to see if you'd like to spend more time with him. He'd also use the time to make a declaration of his intention to pursue you.

Lost Fic #188
1. hello! i would like to ask for help finding a fic of aziraphale having a cottage (on a cliff, i think?) where he spends time living as a human shepherd? i found it a few days ago but i think it's a pre-s2 fic but now it's lost to me bc i didn't open it on my history 💀 thank you!!! - @cuntbrow
2. So, I remember reading a fic some time ago, but I just can't find it again Beware, it's explicit So, basically, Aziraphale's semen is holy and it burns Crowley, but Crowley is into it? I remember possibly a bj scene? Overall, I think Crowley was hiding the fact that it hurts him, so that Aziraphale wouldn't put and end to them having sex. - anon
3. Hi! I’m looking for a fic ;-; It’s Aziraphale whump in which Crowley & Aziraphale are walking together, reach a church and Aziraphale ends up in his true form (which is painful and probably destroys a few things). He ends up in heaven somehow, and (I think?) Crowley rescues him. Was rated G/T/No rating and found on AO3. A oneshot, I believe Thank you so much <3 this blog is a godsend - @the-pinnacle-of-perishing
4. Hello! I recently found a fanfic on tumblr that’s actually on archive of our own but I can’t remember the name of it. It was post season two where Aziraphale is in heaven and Lucifer demands Crowley to find Aziraphale and kill him even though he is in love with Aziraphale? Thanks! - @nowheregirl1965
5. Hello, first of all,I love your blog,I think I read my way through most of it, thanks a lot for the service you provide . I’m looking for a fic about the arrangement through the ages and in one of the chapters, Aziraphale and Crowley are at a ball, Aziraphale gets jealous for some reasons and they end up sparring with swords, musketeers style, and at the end Crowley assures Aziraphale that “he doesn’t have any other arrangements”. This is probably a bit specific but I reallyhope you can help me, - @doodlingbreak
If you know any of these fics please include the number in your reply! Thank you :)
- Mod D

haunted monastery drabbles
I know I said this would be a oneshot, but I decided it's a bit too short to count as one. so instead it's just a bunch of drabbles that are very, very loosely connected.
tws for death, blood mentions, and injuries
~
The new one — Jay, his name is Jay — was sitting on the couch playing video games. Cole flopped down next to him and stretched.
Jay had just arrived at the Monastery a few weeks ago and was still settling in. It was interesting, to have a new person around. Nice to have someone to talk to, but annoying that he didn’t have the space to himself anymore. Cole watched the little characters on screen jump and kick and fight each other. Jay was winning, it appeared. Cole wasn’t sure. He should probably ask, if Jay even knew he was here.
“Are you winning?”
Cole knew what he looked like. He’d looked in a mirror, before, after all. Pure black eyes, bloody skin, constantly glitching and flickering like a bad TV screen. It wasn’t surprising that Jay screamed at the unknown voice and dropped his controller.
It still kind of hurt, though. Cole had always wanted a big brother.
~
Zane was in the kitchen chopping up vegetables. Cole sat on the counter, grinning in amusement whenever the knife went through his leg, or poking at the flames on the stove. It tickled. He didn’t knock anything over, though it might have been fun. It would have been mean to ruin all of Zane’s hard work.
“That looks good,” Cole chirped. He avoided the water that sprayed out from the sink, hissing in pain when it hit him. It stung like acid. But there was worse pain in the world, so he ignored it and focused on his big brother. His big brother who had just touched a red-hot pan without any problem.
Zane wasn’t human. Obviously. Humans had heartbeats and blood and flesh. Zane had none of those things. Cole wasn’t sure he knew it, though. Zane always pretended to eat and sleep like everyone else. Hopefully he’d figure it out. Then they could bond over being not-humans together, which would be nice. Except Zane had to know he existed for that to happen.
Zane would have to figure out two things, then. 
~
Cole didn’t like Kai. Kai was brash and angry and didn’t listen to orders. He was worried about someone, his sister, but he didn’t care about Jay or Zane. He didn’t want to help stop Garmadon. He just wanted to go back to his parents’ shop and make weapons.
Which was fine by Cole, really. Three was a perfectly good number. Zane, Jay, and Cole. They were a good team. Even if two of them didn’t realise there was a third member.
Maybe there was a reason for Kai to stay. Cole didn’t really want his brothers to get killed because they didn’t have the master of fire. And Kai didn’t like Wu, at least not very much, which was a win. They could team up to hide his incense and mess up his ugly teapot collection. If Kai knew he existed. Cole kept forgetting that no one knew about him.
“If you join the team, we’ll have to think of a new name. Four musketeers isn’t very catchy,” Cole told Kai. “You should ask Jay for ideas.”
Kai blinked and turned his head like he’d heard. He rubbed his eyes when he spotted Cole’s silhouette. “Huh. Could have sworn I heard something,” he muttered.
“You did hear something! Me!” Cole said, exasperated. Kai didn’t react that time.
~
Cole wasn’t sure why he tended to avoid Nya. She was nice, if a bit short tempered, and Jay liked her a lot. But something about her made him uneasy. Being too close to her or even spending a long time in the same room together made his skin itch.
It was like warning bells going off in his head every time she stepped close. Danger, do not approach.As if some deep part of him thought of her as a threat.
Yes, Nya could be scary towards her enemies. She was formidable — Samurai X was proof of that. But she wasn’t dangerous to those she cared about. Cole was pretty sure he’d count as one of those people.
That was why he sucked it up and spent the night watching movies with her. All their brothers were out, so it was just the two of them. Cole didn’t pay attention to the movie, mostly because it wasn’t really a movie, more of a documentary. He just wanted to spend time with his sister.
“Can I choose the next movie?” Cole asked. Nya didn’t respond, of course, but it had been worth a try. 
~
Lloyd was the best thing to have happened to Cole since Nya and Kai’s arrival. He was about the same age as Cole, which meant that they got along great. Not that Cole didn’t get along with the others, but it was nice to have someone his age. And it meant that he got a little brother, something he’d never had before. Because Cole had been born first, which meant that he was technically older, which meant that Lloyd was his little brother. 
Well, it had been nice to have someone his age. The tomorrow’s tea had aged Lloyd up to being a teenager.
Nobody was happy with that development. Everyone felt that Lloyd had been robbed of his childhood. And Lloyd himself didn’t want to have grown up so fast, to be forced to fight his dad so soon.
Cole didn’t really understand why Lloyd didn’t want to fight Garmadon. Garmadon was going to destroy the world, after all. Yes, he was Lloyd’s father, but he hadn’t exactly been a good father.
He’d still try to support Lloyd. Lloyd was his little brother.
~
His lungs felt like they were being stabbed repeatedly. He couldn’t feel his right leg, or both of his arms. They must have been crushed in the rockslide. His head was pounding — must be a concussion — and his nose was definitely broken. He couldn’t see out of his right eye, and what the other eye could see was all rocks and dirt.
Cole lay there for what felt like hours, and it might have been. He tried to call for help, but his voice failed him. No one knew where he was. He hadn’t told anyone, hadn’t left any notes.
Would Wu look for him? Was he looking right now? Maybe he was using that all-seeing incense, or whatever it was called. Or maybe he wasn’t looking at all, couldn’t be bothered to. Wu certainly hadn’t cared before. He was probably glad that the little brat he’d picked up was gone.
Cole coughed. He tasted metallic blood in his mouth. “Dad,” he croaked. “Master Wu. Please.”
He slipped into darkness.

As for fic requests, this isn’t a fully fledged idea but I would love to read a fic where Neil is embarrassingly obsessed and head over heels in love with Todd, like we need more content of Neil being like “yes whatever you say” to whatever Todd says yet Todd is still somehow oblivious lmao. Hopefully that makes sense!
you're sooo real for this. I really liked this prompt so I hope you like this drabble :)
the look of love- Anderperry oneshot
Neil never expected this to happen. He’d be the first to admit that his friends were all at least somewhat attractive and he told them openly; Charlie with  charisma and the way his hair fell  against his forehead, Knox’s absentminded charm and his soft smiles, Meek’s eagerness to learn new things and the way his glasses magnified his doe brown eyes, Pitt’s quick wit and the way his jaw set when he was focused. Even Cameron could be charming, the slight crinkle he’d get between his eyebrows when he was determined and the pink flush that coloured his cheekbones when Charlie teased him highlighted his freckles and moles. 
So it wasn’t like Neil had never admired another guy’s looks before but it was different with Todd.
When they'd first met Neil noticed Todd almost immediately. He’d been struck by his deer-in-the-headlights expression as his parents set off for Nolan, Neil watched as Todd's mother dragged him behind her like a rag doll and watched the way he followed her body moving seemingly on its own accord as he stumbled over his own feet like a marionette.
Then they were assigned roommates so Neil had gone out of his way to introduce himself. He'd taken one look at Todd, quiet and unassuming Todd, and had known immediately that they were to be friends. 
Neil had a known tendency to ‘pick up strays’ as Charlie would say, he couldn’t help himself he’d done it with all of them. Neil and Charlie were childhood friends ready to take on Welton just the two of them, at least that was the plan until a ten-year-old Neil had brought a clumsy and forgetful Knox to their table at lunch. Charlie hadn’t minded at first Knox was nice enough and funny in his own strange way, they’d grown close too, the three musketeers, and all was well until Neil came to Charlie's room for study group three weeks later with two new boys in tow, a gangly brunette and a nerdy looking redhead he introduced as Pitts and Meeks. They’d made it work with the five of them. Neil, Charlie, and Knox being a little trio were fine because Pitts and Meeks were roommates and they were close as can be sure study sessions were a little harder now with how cramped the space was but it was fine, Meeks and Charlie became closer, the redhead took to tutoring the other in Latin, and Pitts and Knox followed Pitt’s dry sarcasm complemented the other boy’s odd humour well. So two became five and everything was fine.
Until Charlie got a New roommate in their third year; a pale redheaded boy with millions of freckles, bright green eyes, and a tendency to say the wrong thing. Richard Cameron was weird; he was smart like Meeks on;y twice as studious, he was sarcastic like Pittsie but lacked the other boy’s signature good-natured tone, he had Charlie’s stubborn nature but not his relaxed disposition and he often messed up social cues like Knox even though he tried harder to fit in. Charlie disliked him from the get-go, finding his people-pleasing tendencies and his know-it persona to be jarring, this was fine because Cameron didn’t seem too fond of him either, always rolling his eyes at the others' antics and turning away from Charlie when he tried to talk to him. You can imagine Charlie’s surprise and displeasure when he went down to the common room only to find Neil pulling Cameron away from his usual place in the corner and towards their table.
Neil had promised Charlie that he’d stop taking on charity cases. Lest their whole group become social pariahs. The group dynamic had only just become stable; Neil, Charlie, and Knox with Meeks, Pitts, and Cameron but Neil was sure Todd didn’t count they were roommates after all so it was imperative they make nice. 
Todd was quiet and thoughtful, a little melancholy. He slotted into their group so seamlessly it was almost like he’d always been there. Todd was a listener, always there; a shoulder to cry on or a soundboard always ready to spend his few words on good advice that was always half followed. As well as he blended in, there were moments where his late arrival was blatant, this was one of those moments they were all crowded into Neil and Todd’s dorm; Todd and Neil lay sprawled out on the formers bed to make more room for the other poets, They listened intently to some semi-interesting anecdote Knox was sharing about Chris hanging off his every word, But  before long Charlie and Knox began bickering with each other poking each other sides crinkling Neils bed sheets with their roughhousing causing Cameron to berate them from his perch on the windowsill, Charlie was questioning Knox’s credentials while Knox insisted they listen to him because he was the only poet with something that even slightly resembled a romantic relationship with a girl. And Neil knew none of the others had so much as flirted with a girl since starting Welton.  Six years with no female contact bred a special kind of anxiety within them, and  other than Charlie’s occasional dinners with a daughter of a family friend  the only other person who could even possibly have had a relationship was, “Todd you went to Balincrest, that’s coed right Do you have a girlfriend?” Meeks asked from where he sat draped over the desk, his legs thrown over Pitt's. Todd smiled a little sadly and shook his head “Girls didn’t really pay me much attention, the other guys said I was too plain.” The other Poets all nodded in sympathy letting out slight hums of agreement and understanding, all except for Neil Perry who lay there frozen next to Todd. As the others began to pack up for the night he tried to make his brain reboot because Todd not having a girlfriend was fine, good even, it made sense Todd was a nervous wreck the best of times let alone in front of a girl but Todd Anderson was anything but plain. 
Neil spent the next week in a permanent state of perplexity because Todd Anderson was one of the prettiest boys Neil Perry had ever seen. He’d known that the moment they met the first day back from summer break shaking hands for the first time in the courtyard, he’d found Todd striking with his sad watercolour eyes cheeks rosy from the September wind, endeared by the way his thin wrists poked out of the hand me down blazer he wore clearly one of Jeffery’s, couldn’t help but feel a little charmed by the sight of his light brown hair almost black from copious amounts of gel. This feeling had only grown upon knowing Todd more.  The moment Neil thought he had his admiration for Todd under control something would happen, like earlier today Neil had meant what he’d said he really  was concerned about how little their secret society meant to Todd, had wanted to see him truly moved by something anything really, but he was sidetracked by the look of trepidation in his baby blue eyes, by the way the autumn sun hit his light brown hair making it seem almost golden. he found himself promising to take care of the other boy and he knew deep down that he meant it.
Things only got worse as the days rolled by, Neil found it hard to concentrate on anything other than Todd, a fact the other boy seemed thankfully unaware of.  The poetry lesson with Mr. Keating had honestly been his last straw, the way the other boys mocked Knox’s poem had him growing restless like they’d hear his prose about angels with dark gold halos and sapphire eyes and read between the lines. Then Todd had gotten up and stunned them all with his talent, last minute and completely on the fly so obviously they’d all applauded him (such genius deserved to be rewarded.) and Neil was sure this memory would haunt his dreams; Todd standing victorious, beaming down at him,  lips pretty and pink. 
Neil called an emergency meeting that evening after dinner with the two people he knew who understood romance.
 Charlie and Knox sat on Knox's bed as they watched Neil pace around the dorm, he stopped dead in front of them “If you find someone attractive does that mean you like them?” he asked, Charlie scoffed “No, it just means you have eyes, if I wanted to date every cute person I saw on the street I’d get nothing done.” Neil shook his head “No you don’t get it, he’s the most attractive person to me like no one else competes” he tries to explain. There's a beat of silence before both Knox and Charlie decide to answer “no” “Yeah” they both say simultaneously. Knox turns to his left to look at Charlie, expression incredulous “What do you mean yeah?” he asks Charlie shrugs “I’m just saying it’s completely possible, I’ve seen it happen.” Knox folds his arms “Literally when? I need proof " he demands "Just look at Cameron man” Charlie says rolling his eyes like that explains anything “What?” Knox asks “Cameron, he’s super attractive but I fucking hate his personality.”
They spend the rest of their ‘meeting’ trying to convince Charlie that it is in fact not normal to regularly daydream about making out with his ‘arch nemesis’. Neil ends up leaving Knox’s dorm even more confused than before. He pulls the door to his dorm open revealing a tired-looking Todd clad in soft-looking pyjamas, he’s working at his desk, Todd looks up at the door when it opens, he smiles hazily up at Neil “You’re back” he says voice quiet and a little croaky from disuse. The dim lamp light catches his wet hair and flushed skin still damp from his shower, it casts shadows on his cheekbones from his eyelashes. Neil closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and steps into their room, he shuts the door behind himself. 
Maybe Charlie’s right, maybe it is possible to find someone so attractive you’re borderline besotted with them without wanting to date them, not that that matters now to Neil because he’s clearly in too deep.
I hope this was ok :) If anyone else else any requests don't hesitate to ask :)

All I am Belongs to You | Oneshot
Warnings: 18+, none.
Word Count: 1.2k
Idk I just sort of wrote it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The soft knock at the door does little to pull his attention from the papers in front of him, but the voice that follows draws his attention like a moth to flame, "Athos?"
"What is it, my love?"
He watches Amélia step around his desk and lean on the ledge of it beside him. He sets aside his quill and takes her hand in his, kissing it softly.
"It's late, do plan on coming down to eat?" She asks, "Or should I bring you something?"
She brushes her fingers through his hair and he sighs.
"Where has the day gone?" He mutters, "I will eat when I am finished here."
"Athos," She tsks, "You've already skipped lunch, and you barely ate at breakfast. My love, you must eat."
He stares at her for a moment, nothing but warmth and adoration in his eyes before he pulls her into his lap.
"Stay with me," He pleads, his lips just brushing hers, "I'll finish quicker if I have you here to keep me company."
"I very much doubt that," She smiles between lingering kisses, "I fear I may be more of a distraction than aid."
He cups her jaw, humming against her lips, "Stay..."
She leans her forehead to his, her hands sliding up to hold the back of his neck.
The faint taste of wine lingers on her lips and it reminds him of that night, so many years ago, before he knew she loved him.
The way he'd found her, half-drunk and weeping at the tavern, and instead of escorting her home he sat and proceeded to join her.
The way they stumbled back to her room at the boarding house in a stupor and made love. He'd longed to for so long, and, despite the haze of wine and spirits, he would never wish it different.
"I love you," The words spill from his lips as he kisses her again.
"I love you," He can't stop the smile spreading across his face, "Now come down and eat."
He groans when she stands and takes his hands, gently tugging them so he'll follow, "Is that an order?"
"Only if you make me make it one."
He rises to his feet beside her and pulls her against him, ducking down to kiss her.
"Athos..."
"Yes, my love?"
His love.
How could she ever have been anyone else's when he kisses her like this?
"Your love," She sighs, losing herself against his lips, but his chuckle brings her back, "You're far too good at that."
"What, kissing you?" He beams.
"Distracting me," She corrects, pulling away, her nose scrunching playfully, "Come on."
She takes his hand and tugs him toward the door. But as soon as she steps into the hallway, she feels her feet lift off the ground.
"Athos!" She squeals in laughter, clinging to him when he scoops her up.
He doesn't respond, carrying her securely against his chest, earning looks from any cadets and musketeers as they pass.
She tucks her head under his chin, smiling at the feel of his beard scratching against her skin.
"Papa!" Celine cries happily when he walks into the kitchens and every head turns toward the doorway.
Amélia's face flushes when some of the men chuckle at the sight, huffing in embarrassment.
Celine runs over and grabs onto the bottom of his coat, tugging him toward where her half-eaten dinner is sitting.
"Put me down," Amélia mutters when he follows her, "Athos."
He does as she asks, but only when they get to the table, and he sets her in one of the chairs.
"Is there something you all are looking at?" He barks at the soldiers still snickering around them.
Celine pays no mind to his harsh tone, clinging to his arm and giggling when he lifts her into her seat as the men quickly turn back to their meals.
Athos helps himself to a bowl of the stew from over the fire and falls into the chair across from them with a heavy sigh, "So, what did my beautiful girls do today as I locked myself away in my office?"
Celine wastes no time in telling him all the misadventures she'd gotten into throughout the day and Amélia smiles as she watches him listen intently.
He's always been a natural with her, from the moment he met the little girl, despite how scared he was, it's as if he was born to be a father.
She reaches across the table and slips her hand in his. He glances a their hands then up at her with a soft smile of his own, squeezing her fingers adoringly.
"And what of you, my love?" He asks once Celine finishes and returns to the bowl in front of her, "Were you swept up in any wild adventures today?"
"Nothing of consequence," She admits. She'd missed seeing him around the garrison, "It's nice to see your smile, though."
He's suddenly regretting sitting so far away from her. She's within reach but he can't kiss her from here, and he desperately wishes to kiss her for being so sweet.
"I love you," He says, barely loud enough for her to hear over the sound of conversation throughout the room, but her smile widens nonetheless.
"I love you too," She pulls him closer, tugging him against the table to kiss the side of his hand.
Celine begins to notice her mother getting affection- well more that she is not getting affection from her father and quickly moves to right that wrong.
She slips from her chair, makes her way beside him, and tries to climb into his lap.
"And what do you want?" He teases, pulling her up into his arms.
"Kiss!" She taps her cheek expectantly and he bites back a laugh.
"Just a kiss?"
"Mhm!"
"Well," He brushes her hair behind her ear, "I suppose I could spare you one."
She lets out a shrill giggle when he firmly kisses her cheek and his chest warms at the sound.
She plops heavily in his lap, gripping his shirt, "Another!"
"Another?" He chuckles. He looks up at Amélia with playful eyes, "So much like you're mother, you are."
He feels a half-hearted kick to his shin under the table but has no time to tease her before tiny hands reach up to squish his face.
"Papa!" Celine groans impatiently.
"Yes, yes," He presses another kiss to her temple, then to her cheek again, "My little musketeer has been so starved for attention today, hasn't she?"
"Celine," Amélia warns after a few minutes, "Not that he isn't enjoying this, but your father needs to eat."
"But mama!" Both she and Athos look over at her pathetically
"No buts," She bites her lip to hold back a laugh at the sight, "Come here and finish your dinner too."
She doesn't listen, snuggling into her father's chest and Amélia sighs.
"Here," He holds his hand out, "Give me her bowl, she can stay where she is."
"You'll spoil her completely rotten," Amélia sighs, doing as he asks.
"Yes, but it's my duty, as her father, to do so," He grins and turns to their daughter, "Isn't that right, dear one?
Amélia rolls her eyes, not upset by his words as she mumbles into her drink, "She'll be no worse for wear hearing the word no now and again."

Ok, so Newell aka Nunu aka part of Pervert Chat The Three Musketeers the man I play D&D with is no longer part of our D&D DA:O group as of this session. He's doing some life changing stuff with the new year and finally admitted to the group that he didn't enjoy D&D as much as just... Hanging out with us, which I already knew. He doesn't really do creative RPG stuff, he's not Tormented by Character Thoughts like Jack and I are. He's always enjoyed consuming more than creating, such is the nature of being a normie and a jock. So this wasn't a huge shock to me, but regardless it lowkey feels like we've broken up, even though he's still, you know, roommates with our GM and his wife and still active friends with the rest of the players and also me (he took a nap on my apartment floor yesterday). We're still gonna hang out, just not in the context of D&D. We're still movie buddies and still going to do Pervert Chat anime nights and mall days and karaoke. Just no long term D&D. (He's ok with the occasional oneshot.)
Anyway today his PC, Artoria, told to rest of the party that she's going to stay at Soldier's Peak to like, turn it into a second base for us (Strongholds Third Party thing, we get stat bonuses) after we clear... Whatever the fuck Fade Spirit nonsense is going on there.
She's underleveled, she's died a grand total of TWICE and came back both times, so now she's ascending to the illustrious title of "important PC" because she feels like her time helping us is over, and presumably we'll use her help in the final battle and stuff but she's just going to be doing her own thing in the background while we continue adventuring.
Except, except Sethlos' loyal mabari Mythal (also a PC) also died via some really awful necrotic damage fighting some sort of... Undead mage who came out of an eluvian and Sethlos nearly died fighting demons before that and came back... Wrong. As a player that man is ABSOLUTELY possessed by a spirit but as a PC no one know what the hell is wrong with him. He's just really into heading forward through the dungeon and has like, no typical emotional responses that Sethlos would have, and Varand and Bhalkam are too fucking stupid no-magic dummies to tell what's up. So like, they're just pretty sure it's not a demon and that's as far as they've gotten and they're bot kind of pissed at him for not reacting to his dog dying and his sister leaving us.
Anyway between Art and Mythal I was just a gently weepy mess all night lol my emotions.

Fic Recs April '23
What did I read this month? As ever, it's mostly going to be Dream SMP, but I wander outside the fandom ocassionally, and we've got some QSMP and 3rd Life this month! You can keep an eye on my Ao3 bookmarks if you ever don't want to wait the full month, but here's a shor tlist (I tried to keep it short) of especially fun/intersting/good things.
The Fics - Oneshots
Human condition by InsomniWillow Fandom: QSMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Alexis | Quackity/Wilbur Soot, Wilbur Soot & Tallulah, Wilbur Soot & Phil Watson | Philza Tags: Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Fluff, Developing Friendships, Human/Monster Society Length: 1/1 chapters (this might be a multi-chapter though), 3,515 words
New to Qusadilla Island, Ordinary Guy Wilbur Soot brings his tiny daughter to the new school that's opened up. The school that is FULL of terrifying players and their kids. This is just super cute slice of life fluff and it's a fun setup to see Wilbur go "oh god, that's a demon, that's a shark god, is that Philza Minecraft?????" while he's trying to remain chill for his daughter.

Length: 1/1 chapters, 7,968 words
Niki breaks into Hadestown to try and get Wilbur back. And then she meets Jschlatt, and then she goes spare. Oh man this is a beautiful and lyrical setup, and then Schlatt is just so odious and hateable, ad then Niki getting furious enough to take on a god is So Satisfying. Delightful.

Tubbo hosts his first seder. This is just a joyous slice of life with the whole community coming together to celebrate passover. A glimpse into other traditions for me, and full of love for the characters and for judaism. This fic is so happy. It's canon to ME. I love it.

Technoblade is just having a perfectly normal day with his family (who are polar bears) when his friend the crow shows up with— Phil, is that a BABY? What are we gonna do with it? And what does it eat? This is just so so funny. Techno and Phil are both so helpless with a tiny baby, they don't now how to feed this little one, at one point a dead mouse is put on the baby's face and everyone looks at him hopefully. It's so funny.

The Musketeers - SBI AU by Anarchy_and_Piglins Fandom: DSMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Wilbur Soot & Tommyinnit & Technoblade & Philza Tags: Alternate Universe - Historical, 3 Musketeers Fusion, BAMF Everybody, Tommyinnit Angst, Philza Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Fluff and Humour, Emotional Hurt/Comfort Length: 2/4 chapters, 8,086 words
TommyInnit is on a mission of vengance to kill the man who murdered his father, with only his dying words that a man named Philip d'Athos is responsible. Philip, meanwhile, is trying to figure out who's impersonating musketeers. They are on a direct collision course in 17th century France. I'm sure this will go well.

Grian is back in Hermitcraft but he can't forget what happened in 3rd life. Unfortunately everyone else has forgotten what happened. Everyone except Rendog, who he remembers very strongly as his enemy. This one started as a character study and you can tell, it's very deliberate and mediative with the characters, and it's just slowly growing through the questions of what they do now, and what they do with these relationships they have to people they care so much about and also those people don't remember it.
See How They Run by Aard_Rinn Fandom: DSMP Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Tubbo & Tommyinnit & Ranboo, Technoblade & Philza Tags: Alternate Universe - Borrowers Fusion, Rescue, Captivity, Dark SBI, Dehumanization, Non-consensual touching (nonsexual), Tubbo-Centric Length: 3/3 chapters, 10,590 words
Benchtrio are Borrowers, and Tubbo gets caught by Emduo! Man, this starts with Tubbo falling into oil and not being able to climb out (he's eventually rescued by Emduo), and it's honestly terrifying. I really felt like I was a tiny creature clinging to a spoon. It continues to play with the fact that Tubbo is just so TINY and defenceless.
wasteland by chrysalizzm Fandom: DSMP Rating: Mature Warnings: Major Character Death Relationship: Dream SMP Ensemble Tags: Alternate Universe - Heroes & Villains, Hurt/Comfort, Disillusionment, Morally Grey Characters, Political Corruption, Systemic Bigotry, Unreliable Narrator, Alternate Universe - Superheroes & Superpowers, Mind Control, Bittersweet/Open Ending, Multiple POV, (and more! It's a series) Length: 11/30 fics, 72,431 words
MASSIVE sprawling superhero epic digging into power issues, morality, villainy, cohersion, sexism and other 'isms, marching towards an inevitable end. It all ends in tragedy, but oh my god the journey there is so rich and beautifully drawn. Each fic in the series is a different spot on the timeline and you see characters from so many different POVs, as events come into greater focus and you realize what the fuck HAPPENED to break people like that. This is very much a fic to read while spamming the sobbing emoji in the chat with a friend, but oh man I have to see how it all comes together and if ANY of my guys make it out. I don't know if any of my guys make it out! :SOB:
sharp temporary walls (the long-term cliff edge of the world) by Odaigahara Fandom: 3rd Life SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence Relationship: Grian & GoodTimesWithScar Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Ghosts, Memory Alteration, Corpse Desecration, Animal Death, Friendship, Horror, Angst with a Happy Ending Length: 1/3 chapters, 5,042 words
3rd life is down to two players, but they're both hurt. They decide to wait and heal before a final fight. The world waits around them. Just the tone of this one is so eerie and creepy. The world is just so silent and malevolent, while Desert Duo tries to heal, while also knowing that it all ends in death. I'm not gonna spoil it but what happens when Joel's dogs show up looking for their master is SO GOOD and SO BAD at the same time.
And They Were Ghosthunters | TNT Duo AU by commaclear Fandom: DSMP Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationship: Alexis | Quackity/Wilbur Soot Tags: Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Fish out of Water, Alternate Universe - Angels and Demons, Happy Ending Length: 21/21 chapters, 46,984 words
Wilbur Soot is a demon who's tired of being bored in Hell and decided to go to Earth, where he gets a job on a Ghost Hunting show run by a guy named Quackity. Surely he has lots of oppurtunity for sin here! Two problems though: Quackity is really cute and might actually be a genuinely good person and Wilbur is falling for him, and Love is toxic to demons. This one is legitimately so very funny and such a fast read. I sat down to read the first two chapters and then i looked up and I'd read 46k.
catbag by supinetothestars Fandom: DSMP Rating: Teen Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence Relationship: Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & Philza & Tommyinnit, Tommyinnit & Tubbo Tags: Alternate Universe - Superheroes & Superpowers, Villain SBI, Hero Tommyinnit, Child Abuse, Truth Serum, PTSD, Secret Identity, Found Family, Hurt/Comfort Length: 5/? chapters, 30,665 words
Okay so the summary for this one was:
Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool.
Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.
And I read that and I was like "supinetothestars is going to get me back into reading tommy-centric superheros", and it's happened. It's so good, the characters are so thoughtful (and feel way more like canon characterizations vs fanon), and they run up against each other in really interesting ways. Wilbur is a paranoid bastard in a way that feels realistic and canon! The superpowers are interesting and interestingly played out (tommy's power is he can make himself unnoticeable!) and the relationships are adhering to tropes enough that they're like, oooooo, what happens next, I have a delightful suspicion, but they are pulled off well enough that they still feel fresh. It's really good.
Double Down by Onelituli Fandom: DSMP Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Major Character Death Relationship: Dream & Tommyinnit & Tubbo, Ranboo & Tommyinnit & Tubbo, Dream & Sapnap & George, Tags: Alternate Universe - Imawa no Kuni no Alice | Alice in Borderland Setting, Rated for Language and Dark Themes, Mystery, Flashbacks, Slow Build, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Heavy Angst, Grief/Mourning, No Villains just Antagonists, Bittersweet Ending Length: 11/13 chapters, 67,663 words
Oh man how even to explain this one. The Dream SMP ensemble is imprisoned in this post-apocolyptic setting where they have to compete in challenges to win cards. The higher the suit of the card, the harder the challenge. And people will die, they are dying, the challenges are killing them. They don't know why they're here or who is making them do this, but all they can do is try and make it together despite a structure that keeps trying to turn them against each other and destroy them. This is structured with lots of flashbacks and mysteries, and the mystery of what HAPPENED to these people is ever-present. And how on earth they possibly make it out of this challenge with even one person alive. This one is such a mystery, I don't know what's HAPPENING but I want to KNOW. And that's it for this month! I'll see you next time!

Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?
Yes, a lot!!!!! There are A LOT. Sadly not sure if I will EVER write them so here are my ideas 😭:

[Last Update: Nov 17th 2024]
⚠️ These are only the titles, I haven't started writing any of these since I have other WIPs to do and focus on. Not sure if I will ever write them by turning these ideas into fanfics. I just hope so... But sorry, no gurantee. I just wanted to share my ideas and thoughts. Anyone welcome who wants to use these ideas to write something, I'll be interested to know. Sadly, I'm not so good writing for Male Main Characters. Idk sorry, I could try making the Main Character gender-neutral, buuut... no idea. Sorry, I don't know. I don't want to mess up.

The Musketeers - You kiss their neck!
Hey lovelies, back with another preference! Requested by anon! Credit to cafekitsune for the banner and the divider!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Athos; Athos melts instantly. The usually stoic and composed man melts whenever you kiss his neck. Athos enjoys kissing you. When you're in private Athos will kiss you whenever he gets the opportunity. However, neck kisses are a particular favorite of his. If you tell the others, however, he will deny it.
Tumblr media
Aramis; Aramis smirks when you kiss his neck. He loves it when you instigate things. His arms immediately wrap around you drawing you close. He likes it whenever you initiate any physical contact. He enjoys it whenever his lovers are assertive.
Tumblr media
D'Artagnan; D'Artagnan smiles, he's a little taken aback especially if you've not done it before. It would take him a minute to get used to it. But soon he leans into your affection. He'll begin to enjoy you kissing his neck. Maybe he'll even vocalize his desire for you to do it more.
Tumblr media
Porthos; Porthos smiles when you begin to kiss his neck. He lives for moments like this. When you two can get a moment alone. Porthos shamelessly leans into it. Often whispering sweet nothings to you. He wants to encourage you. He wants you to feel confident to do it again. Porthos doesn't brag about you to the others, however, it's clear when you walk into the room.
Tumblr media
Captain Treville; Captain Treville is used to being in control. So when you kiss his neck, he doesn't know how to react at first. Does he enjoy it? Yes. He would prefer it if he instigated things first. However, in those moments Treville needs to learn how to let go. Which he will do over time.

twenty questions for fic writers
As a treat entirely for me I get to do a meme. I wasn't tagged and I won't tag anyone but invite anyone who wants to do it to treat yourself too!
How many works do you have on AO3?
33, though 3 of those are posted anonymously (2 RPF that I'm not wholly comfortable having attached to my name anymore, 1 based around a Problematic Trope that I'm too chicken to own up to)
That's like an average of just under 2 fics per year I've been posting to Ao3, ha.
But I probably have about 20 wips for CQL alone, you know how it is
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
92,993 apparently.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Pretty monogamous at any given time - obviously CQL right now, though I did slip out that cathartic Good Omens thing earlier this year.
Previous big hitters (by my standards) were Dragon Age and The Musketeers (BBC version, yes I know)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
From Now On (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (1,013)
The Look You Give (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (995)
Retrospect (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (552)
In the Quiet It Will Grow (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (507)
A natural liking (Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV) (487)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I go through phases...I think it's polite to, and I do try, but also when I comment on a fic I don't actually expect a response from the author (though it's always nice!) so I don't angst about it. I obviously LOVE comments, it's not for lack of caring.
When I don't respond it's always because I end up overthinking what I should say, like does "thank you! <3" ten times in row look insincere.
Sometimes I go on a reply binge and start responding to really old comments, and that probably looks weirder.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I think I gravitate towards bittersweet or melancholy endings generally, though not usually real downers. Stories that take place within an angsty point of canon are good for this, like
A Promise (X-Men: First Class)
A Kind of Cruel (BBC Musketeers)
Probably angstiest of all is the very short For the wounded (Dragon Age: Inquisition) which is set in a Bad End post-canon.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I feel like "happy endings" suggest some kind of narrative arc and most of my finished fics are too oneshotty to really have that. But I'd say my fluffiest, most angst-free are probably:
Safe Keeping (Dragon Age: Inquisition) 
Nights Bright Days (Good Omens)
A natural liking (Good Omens)
In the Quiet It Will Grow (The Untamed)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I don't think I've ever got a hateful comment? If I have I've repressed it. I've had a couple that I wasn't sure what to make of, or which I felt misinterpreted what the story was about, but nothing mean.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
DO I. Smutty oneshots my beloved.
In terms of like, sex acts, pretty vanilla, though I think some of my favoured tropes could be considered Problematic (a bit of dubcon, Cloud Recesses arc smut). Whatever it is, it has to be extremely emotional. If the participants aren't experiencing heightened emotions of some kind and having them described in long introspective paragraphs it's not me.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No, my tastes are deeply boring and I have zero interest in crossovers or most AUs.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
In the Quiet It Will Grow was translated into Brazilian Portuguese with permission, though I didn't realise it was going on wattpad and didn't think to ask (it's fine, but I do prefer the Ao3 "inspired by" function). A bit random, but still, flattering.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I kind of like the idea but I think I'm too precious about the process and have too specific an idea of what the final piece should be.
I do love the collaborative storytelling of D&D, but prose is a whole different matter.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Surely it's whichever one you're into at the time of asking? So obviously right now it's wangxian taking up most of my brainspace, but really most of the serious ships I've had I still have affection for. But wangxian is the only ship I've done both art and fic for, and overall feels like the deepest cut.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
SO many unpublished wips, but Against your will is one of my two published wips and for that reason I would like to see it finished, but unless I get back in and refamiliarise myself with the canon again I don't think it'll happen.
Also I have all these other wangxian wips that are like...look at them, they're everywhere, spilling out of my pockets, strewn across the floor of every room
16. What are your writing strengths?
My method is usually to overwrite then trim back to the bare bones so I think my finished prose usually feels quite..."clean", and to the point. That might not count as a strength to everyone though!
In terms of things I most commonly get good comments about: characterisation, emotion, and clear description of action (people can easily picture what's happening)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Dialogue, maybe? I hope it doesn't feel weak in the finished story but it's definitely the thing I find hardest - I'm very conscious of dialogue feeling right for a character and it's usually the part I rewrite the most.
Also actually sitting down and drafting stories in the first place. Obviously.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I mean, I don't speak any other languages and dialogue is hard enough so god, no, unless it's a word or expression that is used by the characters canonically.
I don't mind it in fic as a reader but if I'm having to copy-paste paragraphs into google translate just to figure out what's going on I'm probably not going to persevere.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Oh, you mean the Buffy self insert fics I hand wrote in a notebook 14-year-old me kept under their pillow.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
This is hard because...I'm pretty happy with most fic I've published. I can definitely see flaws but overall if I've finished something and stuck it online I like it, and I've reread every one at least once (I am my own target audience).
Secondly, I think my favourite fic is usually the one or ones I'm in the process of writing. I'm always trying to improve and like to think the next one I finish will be the best I've done (unrealistic I know).
That said,
Keep Burning (Dragon Age: Inquisition) is a fic I'm still really proud of. It's far from perfect and I remember it being a tough experience to write but it came out mostly how I wanted in the end. It still feels like one of the most emotionally...honest things I finished. Also I know it made people cry, and I don't know if anything else I've written has done that.
Also There Grew Between is probably the CQL fic I'm most satisfied with, I just think the pacing and structure work really well and it's the one fic I wish got more love because I like so much how it came out.

*see the Three Musketeers and Swan Lake Barbie AU*
*slides in and crass into a tree*
There Musketeers and Swan Lake AU? My childhood?! Sign me up and tell us more about it!
Unless you already did and I being an idiot and forgot about them :v
The 3 musketeers is a oneshot already :v
And as for the swan lake... I referenced it actually in the wink Au S4.
So imma have the swan lake explained on short under the cut :'3
We start off with our Floyd as a more free-spirited guy, his parents being just simple people of the kingdom with simple needs and as such. His father was a shoemaker and his mother was a seamstress. Jade was making sweet eyes with the baker's son, so Floyd just wanted an adventure.
Cue wondering around, finding a unicorn and thinking that he ate some of Jade's sus fungi.
Floyd finds a pretty rock! The rock turns out to be a magic cristal!
Floyd yeets it in the fucking lake. :'3
Of course, this is to the horror of floofy dress fairy Malleus who hoped Floyd would help them out with the problem of evil wizard Crowley. Floyd wanted nothing to do with the wierd guy in sparkly dress and the critters around. He just wants home and wait for the mushroom effects to wear off(he never ate a mushroom to begin with)
But he is pursued by Crow man and turned into a swan. :v
Cue Floyd waddling home anyway as a swan, after Malleus gives him the retrieved gem. Only at night Floyd would turn back to a human, so he hoped it would be enough to convince him to help.
It is enough to convince Floyd to help, since it was an absolute inconvenience to be a swan during day and a human during night. Jade did take his feathers that fell off and used to stuff a pillow, his parents didn't know if Floyd should eat bird seeds or something else. And he was more than often asked if he was for sale.
So being fed up with the whole swan situation, Floyd returns to the magical forest in hopes to just beat up the wizard and get his ass back to a normal hooman.
He leaves at night tho, as to not attract suspicions. That's also when he meets a guy with bright red hair, dressed up as any commoner, but with a hood cape to boot. It was clearly an adventurer that maybe stumbled upon this village. But the guy was kind enough to give Floyd a ride to the gate he wanted to go.
The 2 do talk, the stranger asking why Floyd is going towards the waterfall. He replies that he has some business he has to take care of. In turn, Floyd asks why does this stranger have a fancy rapier with him. The stranger is surprised Floyd knew the difference in between a rapier and sword, but he backs it up, saying that many knights and swordspeople came to his father and mother for clothes adjustments, so Floyd and his brother were told many cool stories while their parents would fix those shoes and clothes.
The stranger says that he is a swordsman, working for the queen. He was just patrolling around and didn't mind to give a small ride to Floyd as it was a pretty quiet village.
Floyd simply waits for the guy to leave before using his crystal, which was now a pendant, to open the gate and return to the magical forest, where the magical critters, now back to their fairy/elf/mer forms, being happy that he finally accepted to help.
Floyd is sent to the aincent library, in the volcano gazers, where the fire mers reside. Those are Idia and Ortho, who take great care of all the aincent books, despite the library being literally in a volcano.
They do try and help Floyd and Epel(our sassy unicorn) find the book of the forest, but it takes them all day and then some more, without any results.
Floyd still wants to return home for the day, knowing that Crowley won't risk his ass to come into a village as that big ass bird. But, being too tired, he falls asleep on the lake.
Meanwhile, Jade was growing worried about his brother. He consults with his parents and the baker's son, Trey, before deciding to go after Floyd and help him break that curse.
On his way, he meets up with the same adventurer that Floyd meet up. Thinking it was Floyd, he wonders why he keeps returning to that place. Jade clears it out that his brother was Floyd and he was in quite a pickle.
Of course, the 2 find the way inside via crow man, who hoped to lure them in and use them as a bargain chip.
Of course, he reveals his ploy too late as the 3 already meet up and it was when Floyd got again to his human form. Since he was wearing the crystal, crow man couldn't curse him anymore.
Of course, the redhead stranger gives out his name as Riddle. And Riddle also wanted to help. He insists that he has the skill necessary to take down a threat such as the wizard. And if it's not enough, surely he could 'convince' the queen to get an army.
Floyd tho, insists that it's not that easy. That they shouldn't get involved because Crowley would turn them into critters as well. Maybe even worse.
But to at least reassure their comune concerns, Floyd accepts to at least visit them when the sun goes down, at the border to the magical forest.
And this goes for a few days. Idia and Ortho were relentlessly searching for that book and Floyd with Epel were helping out with it.
This went for a few nights. Sometimes Jade would visit or Riddle. And they would stay together for a few hours before Floyd had to go back and continue with his search.
Finally, Idia finds that fucking book. And bringing it to the others. Giving it to Floyd and opening it, everyone is searching through it, trying to find how to use the crystal's full potential.
What they do find tho, was that very sappy quote of '2 becoming 1'. This, of course puts everyone on springs since how tf do they figure this one out?
That noon tho, Floyd meets up with Riddle, the redhead telling to him about a ball. He would have to attend it as a 'guard of the queen', so he hopes Floyd would at least attend it. He wanted to see him there.
Of course, the other beings of the magical forest go nuts over this. And have Floyd attend that ball. Of course, there needed to be preparations. How to dress up, make sure the manners are in check, from top to bottom, everything had to be to impress. This was a ball that was at the palace after all.
Unfortunately, Crowley steals the book with Idia too. As such, Crowley also knows about this and everyone urges Floyd to go and hurry, in case crow man tries to compromise their plan.
Of course, at the ball, Crowley reaches there before Floyd, with his decoy.
Riddle turns out to be the prince, being pressured by his mother to marry someone. She wanted to put her son on the throne already and ground him from keeping exploring around.
So of course, Riddle thought that was Floyd and slowly reveal that he was pressured to marry early. He was skeptical about everything, but he felt like Floyd was special.
Unfortunately, the real Floyd comes around only when Riddle mentions the proposal, but he doesn't hear how it was only Riddle mocking his mother's expectation of how he should propose.
And Floyd feels a tingle in his chest. It hurts a lot and he was turning back into a human, the pain spreading around until it was unbearable and collapses.
Of course, this gains the attention of some people, word getting to Riddle who immediately realises that it was a scam. Of course, Crowley is happy that his plan was successful.
Cue epic af chase after Crowley steals the now inactive crystal. Floyd does gain some consciousness, only able to mutter out that his chest is in pain. Riddle reassures that it would be alright, once they are somewhere safe.
We also get mostly like the movie ending, bc I believe that it is a great ending, but the wedding itself is after a year or so. Jade still fucking teases his brother whenever Floyd wears or has feathers on him tho. He'll never let that one die. :'3

Thanks for the tag @prince-rowan-of-the-forest (ignore how long it’s taken me to get round to this I kept forgetting about it lmao)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
22! I think I’ve written a decent amount but I’m always hoping to increase that number.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
167,433
3. What fandoms do you write for?
There’s not really a proper answer to this question cause I’m not writing regularly at the moment (life has been very hectic as of late and I’ve not had the energy or motivation.) The latest fandom I wrote for was Good Omens, which is a fandom I would like to write for more in the future.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
5. Away from Watching Eyes (57)
4. Time Well Spent (69)
3. Tensei Iida: What it Takes to be a Hero (70)
2. Here and There and Gone Again (93)
1. The Three Musketeers of Quirk-Related Chaos (206)
There’s quite a leap there from 2nd to 1st lmao
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes I do! Although often I don’t really know what to say, I’ve written so many variations of “ah thanks :)” in my time.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably my fic with the angstiest ending is Are There Still Beautiful Things? (from my oneshot collection Let There Be Light) although that one was sort of bittersweet too. If I had ever written the 2nd and 3rd parts to Everything We’ve Ever Done it would have caught up to Charlotte disappearing and the group falling apart so that would have had an angsty ending.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably Tensei Iida: What it Takes to be a Hero. That fic was very angsty along the way but the ending I think was pretty feel-good (also it’s one of the only multi-chapter fics I ever actually finished.)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I’ve never got like, proper hate, but there was one regular commenter on a fic once who basically disagreed with every choice I made in that fic and would always try to debate my writing with me.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope. I don’t think I’d be very good at writing it and I’d be worried about it being awful. I’ll leave that to people who know how to do it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
The closest thing I’ve written to a crossover was my BBC Ghosts vampire AU which was very heavily influenced by WWDITS.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I’m aware of.
12. Does not exist apparently
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
As they said in their response, I’ve written a few things with @prince-rowan-of-the-forest, but none of it’s ever been posted.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
Yeah I don’t really have one seeing as I tend to change fandoms every few years, and though I do sometimes get briefly sucked back into old fandoms they don’t usually hold the same appeal to me anymore. That said, I have to mention Will/Lyra from HDM because they were one of my first ever ships, back before I knew what shipping was, and there is still a major place for them in my heart now.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I am so sad I fell out of the MHA fandom before I finished TTMOQRC. I had so much planned for that universe that I really wanted to write and it will forever haunt me that I never got to get it all out there. I also wish I’d written more for BBC Vampires because again I had loads of ideas but that AU got so little engagement it was hard to keep my motivation for it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think my dialogue is pretty good, and I think I’m quite good at characterisation. And I think I come up with a lot of good ideas (specific, I know.) I think I’m good at writing characters’ thought processes too.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Coming up with coherent plots can be ridiculously hard sometimes. I’m also terrible at sticking with WIPs which is why so many of my multi-chapter fics are unfinished.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I think it’s really cool! And it’s something I’d love to do! When I was obsessed with 1899 a while ago I really wanted to write an Ángel/Ramiro fic with dialogue in Spanish because Spanish is probably one of my biggest special interests and I loved the idea of combining it with my current hyperfixation at the time.
However I do think it’s a really hard thing to pull off cause not everyone’s going to speak the language the dialogue is written in and I don’t want to alienate people. And having read some fics where the dialogue was in languages I don’t understand and the translations were included in the notes, I know that sometimes it just doesn’t work.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Shadowhunters. It was written in a notebook and was about a bunch of OCs I made up.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Probably Here and There and Gone Again because I was nervous to write for the Good Omens fandom because of all the amazing fics I’ve read and I was really pleased with how it turned out in the end. Everything We’ve Ever Done is also one of my faves because when I wrote it I was fixated so hard on those characters/that part of the story so it was a real passion project for me.
Tagging: @natequarter @ailendolin and anyone else who wants to do it cause I’m stuck for who else to tag.
