1, 3, 5, 7, 27, 29, 31, 33 😁(if these have all been asked then please choose three questions you would like to be asked) (if none of these have been answered, choose three, two or one — have a good day!)

1.Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

I try to write it as soon as I get the ideas. My notes app is filled with stuff because I don't want to lose it. If I can, I'll try to write as much of the scene/chapter as possible because I'm fueled by it. If not, I at least try to write the general idea/vibes. Then I proceed to daydream a lot lol.

3. Do you share your fic ideas, or do you keep them to yourself?

I mostly share with @abruisedmuse lol. She gets my ideas first hand but other than that, I usually keep it to myself.

5. How many wips do you have? What fandoms/pairings are they for?

My obsession has been SJM so all my wips are for her characters. I have a lot of Elucien, Satharion, and Eiris. I have a Feysand wip as well as a Gwynriel wip. In total, about 18 HAHA.

7. Post a snippet from a wip.

Sighing quietly, he glanced down at his station and began pulling different flowers at random, thinking about Nesta’s words.

It wasn’t that Azriel didn’t want to ask Gwyn out but…this wouldn’t be his first time attempting to be more than friends with someone close to him. He had almost lost Mor’s friendship in the process and even though they had both moved on, sometimes it was still awkward. He couldn’t let it happen again.

Gwyn…Gwyn was different. She was pure sunshine in a way he’d never seen in anyone before. She was funny, smart, scrappy, and though he knew she had a past that haunted her sometimes, Azriel had watched her slowly learn to not let it hold her back as she found herself again. 

And gods, he’d do anything to keep that gorgeous smile on her face. 

But what if it ruined the easiness of their friendship? What if he came on too strong? What if he ended up making her feel —  

“That bouquet is about as sad as watching you try to do pilates, Az.” 

27. What area of writing do you feel strongest in?

I think I write banter and emotions pretty well. I love writing dialogue and do feel like each couple I write has their own flavor in their banter.

31. Do you use a beta reader/editor?

Yup. My girl @abruisedmuse always gets VIP first access to my writing and provides me with her feedback. I appreciate her eyeballs and big brain :)

33. Is there a specific word count that you hold yourself to/enjoy writing the most?

I've only ever paid attention to this when writing SMTB. With each chapter, I aim for at least 20-22 pages. With the individual one-shots, I don't really pay attention so I end it whenever it feels right. It's been usually around 4-5K words depending on the piece.

thank you for sending in an ask, darling!! ♥️♥️ hope you've been having a wonderful weekend!!

[southsidestory]

I’m so proud of you. You deserve all the love in the world.

Thank you so much! You deserve all the love in the world too. <3

I truly appreciate your support, as well as that of all the other kind people here on tumblr who've been in my corner over the years. I've had a rough go of it for a long time, but I'm hopeful that I've turned a corner. And all of you have been a part of that.

Until Sunrise

Chapter 1: fates entwined like thread

Summary: Unable to sleep, Gwyneth Berdara decides that it’s time to find her royal guard a new hobby. Yet, between the palace grounds and a rundown tavern, her relationship with Azriel morphs into something more.

A/n: @witchlingsandwyverns It's me, your secret Santa! I'm incredibly excited and honoured to be able to give you this gift. I definitely had a fangirl moment when I realized I was assigned to you, and I've had so much fun getting to know you better over the past couple months. I hope this fic gives you a "hit of the goodshit."

Read here on AO3, and a snippet below:

Maybe it’s the late hour or the need for company, but that desire sparks aflame in her. It makes her fingers tingle as she sets her book aside. It burns the pads of her bare feet as she hurries across the ice cold marble flooring and pulls the door to her room open.

The effort forces a soft sound from her lips.

In response, Azriel turns on his heels to face her. Not startled, but surprised as he pauses mid-step. His hazel eyes widen, already scanning the space beyond them. A lifetime of training has ingrained the trait into him—to always be on guard, to routinely assess for perceived threats.

“Are you alright?” he asks, voice low. He strides towards her, a single scarred hand coming to rest atop the dagger fastened at his hip.

Gwyn nods, a quick dip of her chin. “I am.”

When he doesn’t respond immediately, she does what feels most natural and presses her palm flat against his broad chest. She applies the slightest amount of pressure, drawing his attention.

“Azriel, I’m perfectly fine.” With her free hand, Gwyn gestures to herself. “See?”

His gaze dips downwards at that, dark lashes fluttering like the beat of delicate wings. At the sight of her nightgown, Azriel’s brown skin flushes an enticing shade of pink. The colour only deepens as his eyes linger on the hand wedged between them before shifting to settle on her face. 

“Perfectly fine,” he repeats. His features remain stoic, except his tongue poking at the inside of his cheek.

Krampus

“My dearest Elain,” Lucien murmurs, his voice a low, velvety rasp against her ear. “You’ve been especially naughty this year.” His warm chuckle sends shivers down her spine. “And you know what they say, those on the naughty list don’t get to see Saint Nicholas. They only get me,” he growls lowly, and her toes curl in her wool socks as she turns to look at him.

If you're not currently on my tag list and would like to be added, reply to this post and I'll add you!

If your username is currently bolded, it means you've asked to be on my tag list but Tumblr won't actually let me tag you for some reason. I don't know how to fix this. I'm very sorry 😔

Here is the list of fics I currently have planned for 2025 that I will include my tag list on:

The remaining chapters of When We Howl, the Moon Will Cower (Nessian werewolf/witch AU)

The remaining chapters of Top Shelf Love (Nessian hockey AU)

A chaptered Nessian canonverse fic

Mafia Cassian Nessian one-shot

A chaptered Elucien AU inspired by the rom-com Leap Year

(I'll also be finishing my Rhysta chaptered fic and I plan to post 2 Rhysta one-shots, but I don't use my tag list on Rhysta since I know it's not everyone's cup of tea)
