for the jelsa pet name prompt: darling

(i THINK its a bit of a toughie not sure though YOU GOT THIS!!!)

Chapter 6: darling

Elsa, Guardian-in-training, comes to the realization that names are important to the Guardians: the names of their previous selves in their former lives; the namesake titles of their storybook tales; and—especially—the names they give each other. She just can’t understand how Jack can come up with so many nicknames within a single Christmas season. — In which Jack Frost really really really wants his new co-worker to warm up to him, one (revelation) (Memory) (incident) nickname at a time. Prompt: Written entirely according to and for the petname-requests submitted to my tumblr askbox. See details inside for this utter chaos.

For the pet names, terribly cliche, but 'snowflake' is one I'm kind of fond of for Jack calling Elsa.

I could maybe see Elsa calling Jack 'Jackie boy' just to pester him, in a good natured way. Or fully, 'Jackson' when annoyed with him, haha.

Reading two homes (aaaahhh love it so much thank you for writing it) and just gotta say I am loving the Bunny and Elsa bromance.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASK AND YES, YES, THANK YOU FOR ALSO SHARING IN THE JOY OF A BUNNY/ELSA!BROTP.

while writing at the center, their brotp shenanigans became some of my favorites. 😭 i also had a lot of fun exploring potential nuances of elsa's would-be friendships with each of the guardians in cosset, which is where i became obsessed with the idea of which nicknames they would (or would not call) elsa, and what each nickname demonstrated about their friendship (e.g., bunny's use of "ice-pop").

there's a whole thing about what each of the guardians call her, but here's the bit from cosset about the bunny/elsa!brotp and how "ice-pop" came into being (and is now a permanent fixture in my head and transcends multiple stories, lmao):

Bunny calls her the Snow Lass at first. It is uncomfortable for him, being around a human (and then a newborn Guardian) who has always struggled so deeply with Hope. Then one night, sometime around her eleventh year, the two of them go out to a distant corner of the French Polynesian islands and come back seven hours later with smiles and novelty character-ice cream pops from Bunny’s favorite New York City bodega. Occasionally, he’ll call her Ice-Pop and chuckles whenever she makes a face. He tucks strands of wayward hair behind her ear, or back into her braid, and calls her Elsie, and then shouts and laughs hard when she mercilessly pelts him with ice.

I am so happy you tagged me, @therentyoupay! Thank you so much! Also shoot some of these works were unedited-

Ah, okay

“You want us … to go to the Hero Events with you?” Fuyumi asked. (snowflake à la mode) | Huwumi | My Hero Academia | G | 1/1 | In which Fuyumi accompanies her father to the Hero Events for good publicity and ends up becoming a fashion icon by accident. (It was written in a hurry after I'd read a much better fanfiction which inspired it)

He was often surprised at the patients that came in, but none had surprised him as much as the stunning blonde fidgeting in front of him. (Blue Oleander) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon | T | Hanahaki au | 1/1 | In which Hiccup is trying to find a cure, but of course, the universe hated him, so the person he’d fall for would be a girl who was already dying because she was in love with someone else.

Dragon racing had become unprecedentedly popular in the few short years it had become an official sport. (All's Fair In Love And Dragon Racing) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon | T | Dragon Racing Rivals au | 1/1 but I'd love to make it a full on series | In which Astrid is determined to win the games this year no matter what, and no infuriating son of a chief is going to get in her way.

haha this is actually good promo

Hiccup had missed a spot, and Astrid couldn’t take her eyes off of it. (You'd Come Back To Me) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon | G | Pre-RTTE set | 1/1 | In which Astrid contemplates growing up, what that means, and gives Hiccup his braids.

“No,” Astrid seethed. (Oh Lord, I Think About Jumping Off of Very Tall Somethings) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon | canonverse | T | 1/1 | In which Astrid's opinion of Hiccup's flightsuit changes over the years.

Astrid considered herself a smart girl. (I'm Ignoring All The Signs (I Think I'm In Love Again)) | Hiccstrid - what a surprise | How to Train Your Dragon | G | Modern au | 1/1 | In which Astrid slowly comes to the realization she's in love with her best friend - now she just has to do something about it

Oh my God i forgot I had this one

It had been two weeks, but whatever crap people spouted about being able to move on was a complete lie. (How You Get The Girl) | Minlout | How to Train Your Dragon | G | Modern au | In which Snotlout is desolate after his breakup with Minden, so his friends come up with an outlandish scheme to win her back. You really don't have to read this it's cringy and just an excuse to blast Taylor Swift lyrics.

She never wanted to be a boy, even though she had wished for it a few times. - Okay hear me out it makes a lot more sense or at least sounds cooler with the second sentence - (The Lady Knight lets gooo my first ever multichap!) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon - because of course | T | Medieval au | 3/4 | In which Astrid decides to become a knight and heir for her family, with a few more adventures along the way.

I don't have full on works after this but I do have drabbles, sooo

Astrid stomped outside. (Crime Scene) | How to Train Your Dragon | Modern au | I just accidentally kicked a rock too hard an it broke that window and you saw it happen.

“Mr. Haddock - if you please, there are a few questions I-” (A Difficult Interview) | Hiccstrid | How to Train Your Dragon | Celebrity x Reporter au? Anyway it's modern | In which an ambitious reporter attempts to interview a grumpy celebrity - but she may get farther than they think.

So I tend to start my fics with more of a general statement before delving more into the story and the action, but some of them are actions, like Astrid seething or stomping. I like an almost abstract idea that kind of embodies the overall theme that I can return to, or an interesting thought that sticks with the character and brings the reader into their head. And I do enjoy an interesting piece of dialogue when I can write it.

I really enjoyed this! We should do a tag game comparing the last line written to the first line or something!

tagging @separatist-apologist, @triumphantfury, @katergator84, @whathappenedtomyweekend, @sorushing, @anakinmousestalker , @takearisk-x @crazy-ache , @tysonrunningfox @introvert-dragon and anyone else who wants to join!

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there's a pattern! i chose most of the most recent ones, then a few of the ones with the most kudos, and then a few of the ones that i just really really really like the opening lines of!! thank you, @salamandersocks, for tagging me!!

my thoughts below!! 💕 @salamandersocks and i have similar tastes!! i seem to favor:

opening lines that immediately immerse me in a specific emotion or situation (curiosity, anticipation, mystery), and stuff that hints at deeper complexity and "clues ahoy!!"

i also like slightly unsettling lines ("there is a strange boy on the beach who won’t stop staring at her") for mystical stories like the mermaid!au

i also like when really specific or short lines can drop a reader IMMEDIATELY into a specific context; conversely, i like when the first line gives the reader a feeling and the second line gives a location!

i also realize i like throwing characters into emotional / interpersonal conflict immediately lmao ("... the fuck is this?" / "what are you doing here?" / "on the contrary" / "man")

i shall tag a whole bunch of people too, and anyone else who wants to do this!
