[wolfboy88]

For @thiamappreciationweek Day 5: The Pack

Scott stumbles upon Liam and Theo in a moment of intense passion. Their focus solely on each other, completely oblivious to Scott's presence and everything around them. Their mouths kiss with such hunger and fervour, an intensity that has Scott feeling dizzy.

Liam and Theo's kisses are ravenous, fangs and teeth clashing, growls and snarls escaping their mouths as the scent of coppery metallic fills Scott’s nostrils. It’s a primal display, so animalistic that stirs Scott's inner wolf. Scott takes a step back, retreating into the doorway and hiding behind the wall, ensuring that neither of them sensed his presence but he can’t bring himself to leave just yet. He cautiously peers around the wall, his gaze fixated on them with hard, dark eyes, irises flaring red.

Liam and Theo are thoroughly entangled on the couch in Derek's loft, which Theo now calls home. Scott was aware of this, as Derek had informed him and of his beta’s rather frequent visits that it appears he lives there too. However, Derek failed to mention that his beta and the chimera are… more than just friends.

Scott's eyes meticulously observed every movement of their taloned tipped fingers, clawing at each other's bodies. He swallows thickly, fighting the urge to tear them apart. He isn’t sure if he wants to stop them or join them or be one of them. His mind is conflicted with a jumble of varying emotions, but envy burns hot in his gut, a familiar sensation he experiences whenever he catches the two having those silent conversations with their eyes. The looks, the touches, the undeniable chemistry, the blatant flirting - Scott longs for that type of connection but watching them together, so intimately connected, as if they are trying to merge into one another's very being, he detests it and he’s sure if Stiles was here, he too, would encourage those thoughts.

And yet... he can’t tear his gaze away from them as he continues to leer, unable to resist watching.

His attention is captivated as Liam's clawed fingertips slip under Theo's shirt. Their tongues dance and explore each other's mouths as if duelling with fervour, things escalating and becoming even more heated.

Scott loves his beta, perhaps more than he initially realized. It’s probably got something to do with the strong alpha-beta bond between them, making him acutely aware of Liam's heady desires for the chimera. Or perhaps, on a deeper level, it’s rooted in wariness that his beta is the one who has captured the attention of the wayward chimera. Regardless, a part of Scott will always resent Theo for taking Liam away from him.

Torn shirts fall to the floor, their claws roaming over delicate flesh, kisses growing deeper, wetter, and more explicit as if trying to lick and scent the insides of each other’s mouth.

Scott can hear their heavy gasps of pleasure as they grind against each other. His own cock stirs, causing his bulge to twitch uncomfortably in its confines. He clenches his fists tightly, his claws piercing his palms.

Liam's hands disappear into Theo's jeans, eliciting a lustful moan from the chimera, lips spilling the beta's name like a sweet melody. Liam growls, his fangs grazing Theo's pulse point and piercing into flesh.

Theo's eyes flicker towards the doorway, a smirk playing on his lips as he rolls his hips, provoking a feral growl from Liam, hands gripping him firmly.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Scott emits a low growl that reverberates through his body and echoes in the back of his throat. He swiftly grabs his jacket and forces himself to leave, despite the alpha wolf inside him yearning to stay to do what Scott’s not entirely sure.

Theo cups the back of Liam’s head, encouraging the beta to bite him again. He may not have succeeded in overtaking Scott's pack, but he has achieved the next best thing - possessing Scott's most cherished possession: his first bitten beta.

And Theo will never let Scott forget it.

Thiam week? Should I post something? Everyone should know that I’m a last second person so I can’t be held responsible for finally thinking about this right now. 😂😂😂

Me right now: 😳😳

thiamweek 2023: day 1, Liam’s parents

|| for @thiamappreciationweek event

|| tags : theo meeting liam’s parents for the first time, background mason/corey, liam’s step dad knows about the supernatural but I can’t remember if that’s canon or not — this is lowkey a crack fic —

“And you’re… Theo?” Raeken gives a shaky smile as he nods, hand gripped in Liam’s step dad’s a little too tight. It’s not like Theo’s never met peoples parents before, there were plenty of “relationships” he was in to get leverage for the dread doctors— but this is the first time first impressions really do matter, and he’s trying to be genuine.

“He seems tense.” Mrs Dunbar murmurs to her husband and he hums along, finally dropping Theo’s hand.

“We should eat.” Suddenly Theo’s wrist is caught by Liam’s hand and he’s being dragged over to the dining room table where Corey and Mason already sit, they’re here as a buffer for the new couple. Theo seriously debated kissing Mason and Corey when he found out they’d be there to keep things less tension filled.

“It smells delicious ma’am.” It doesn’t make Liam’s mom smile like Theo was hoping for, instead she gives a short nod that almost looks annoyed. What the hell is he doing wrong? It’s been ten minutes.

“Oh my dad cooked.” Ah.

“Well it smells great sir.” That gets him more a nice reaction, a smile and a nod. Liam said that his step dad might be more friendly than his mother, apparently she’s not a people person and how she ended up with someone as extroverted as Liam’s step dad is “totally insane” according to both Liam and Mason.

“Thank you Theo, it’s nice to be appreciated around here.” That’s all it takes for the rest of the group to loosen up, Liam throwing out a whine that he always says thank you at dinner, Mason saying he doesn’t and he just eats like a wild animal which makes Corey snort and share a look with Theo— it gets easier, thank god.

And soon enough dinner is cleared as is dessert and Theo’s able to settle down in front of the couch on a mound of blankets with Liam at his side. They agreed to watch a movie with his parents and while Theo has no idea why the hell they did that, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be horrible. Liam’s step father is busy popping popcorn with Mason and Corey at his side, Theo can hear the three of them bickering about what candy should be mixed with the popcorn. Liam has his head on Theo’s collarbone, he doesn’t smell as anxious as he did earlier which is nice.

But- Theo can feel Liam’s mother’s eyes boring into the back of his head. He repeats in his head that this is fine, it’s just motherly behavior, he thinks? He can’t be sure considering the whole ‘raised in the sewers’ thing. It’s unnerving even if it is normal. He doesn’t know what he did to tick this woman off- she’s not the one that knows about the supernatural, that’s Liam’s step dad and he’s been cheery all night long, so whatever Theo did is beyond him.

“Babe you okay?” He’s brought from his thoughts by Liam’s gentle voice, which is definitely a cover as he’s staring at Theo like he can see right through him.

“Yeah, perfect.” Dunbar’s lip twitches and he turns around enough to look at his mother- ah shit.

“Mom can you stop staring? It’s freaking us out.” Jesus Christ why is he talking to his mother like that? Does he have a deathwish? Even Theo knows that’s unacceptable-

“Sorry honey it’s just nice to see you with a partner.” Well that sounded far too genuine for someone with such a blank expression.

“It’s fine just- maybe not so hard?” She hums to her son and leans back on the couch, eyes drifting to the Tv as Theo tries not to choke on air. What the fuck was that?!

“Relax, she’s just bad at showing emotion.” All Theo can do is nod and blink a few times, he swears this relationship is going to send him into cardiac arrest at some point.

“Got it.”

Thiamweek Story

Hi! Since a couple of you have shown interest in my 3 part story from Thiamweek, I decided to put them all together in one post to make it easier for y’all to find/read. ENJOY!

Part 1 – Fake Relationship

Part 2 – Games

Part 3 - Friends To Lovers

[sapphire-rising-sun]

My first ever Thiam drabble lol

A/N: This might not exactly fall under the Soulmates AU for #thiamweek, but I do have a cute little drabble for you guys! And please, be kind because I hardly ever post any of my work anywhere, xD. Enjoy!!

 Fall has finally begun to show it's colours in Beacon Hills. To the dark grey skies, to the orange leaves filling the yards and driveways of every house and business. The crisp air hitting your nose and smelling the smoke of leaves burning off in a distance. This was Theo Raeken's favourite time of the year. He sat outside, bundled in a fluffy duvet and a cup of coffee in his hands. The view from his apartment wasn't the best. He could easily see inside a neighbor's apartment and a cat planted right at the sliding door. Toys were strewn about another neighbor's yard. Theo considered how lucky he was to have been able to get the apartment in the first place. A smile grew on his face when he remembered the day he signed the lease.

���

“Wait... You want me to what?” The shorter werewolf choked out, mouth half full of the cereal he had been eating. The chimera smirked, hopping off the counter where he was sitting. He sat down at the table and took Liam's hand into his, a glimmer of hope in the chimera's eyes.

“I want you to co-sign on that apartment with me.” A wave of heat rushed to Liam's face. He didn't know what to say. He and Theo had only been together for 6 months and this was a big step in their relationship. “So, what do you say?”Theo pushed for an answer, trying to find it etched on Liam's face. Liam couldn't stop thinking about leaving his parents house. All the nights and times he's had to sneak Theo in and out. He wouldn't have to sneak out anywhere. Wouldn't have to lie about where he was going or who he was seeing. It made Liam grin widely.

“Let's do it.” Theo's eyes lit up at the beta, pulling him into an embrace and kissing his temple.

–

Theo hadn't realized how long he was lost in thought until he heard his own sliding glass door open and a groggy Liam emerged outside with a cup of coffee in his hand. “Good morning,” Theo welcomed his boyfriend. The beta smiled sleepily and brought the cup to his mouth. The smile on Theo's face never ceased as he reached across the arms of the chairs he and Liam were in, caressing the growing belly that had begun showing on his boyfriend. Theo will never forget that day. That day where he finally got to begin his new life and with someone to spend the rest of his new life with.

Thiam Week Recs: Friends to Lovers Au (Day 4)

Who doesn’t love Friends to Lovers? There’s something almost pure and sweet about two people, who know one another inside, getting to know one another on the out too. Here some great ones from Day 4: 

It’s Been Eight Years by That Visionary Kid

Summary: Liam is told to attend his High school reunion where he’s a little hesitant to run into someone from his past.

Friends to Lovers Drabble by thiamdrabbles

“He and Theo were not dating. That was clear. But he couldn’t honestly say he didn’t have feelings for the chimera. Theo was funny, smart, attractive, charming. What wasn’t to like? Even his arrogance had a certain sexiness to it.”

Three Days With You by invisible_slytherin

“I missed you,” Liam blurted out.

Or, the one where Liam realizes that everything would be different without Theo.

More Than Friends? by RaeAnnisapancake

Theo has a crush on his best friend Liam, but does Liam feel the same way about Theo?

Love Suits You! by FormerPrincess

Who knew your best friend wearing a suit could lead to so much more?

Thiam Week Recs: Soulmate AU (Day 5)

Thiam Week happened a month ago and we’re still enjoying all the Edits, Stories, and other Fanworks you all created! Because of that, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite works from Day 5, Soulmate AU. 

Almost by Captainmintyfresh

My work for Thaim week day 5 - soulmates I used the idea of every day you get one sentence your soulmate said that day on your wrist.

Scars of the Heart by Katzaren (WIP)

When Liam rides into the Wild Hunt, Theo's soulmark reveals Liam's name in white scars. Theo thought soulmates were stupid before, but he’s in love with the idea of Liam being his soulmate. First step, get Hayden out of the picture. Second step, get Liam to believe in soulmates. Next step, romance? All while a supernatural vs. hunters war is going on. What can go wrong?

OR The soulmate AU where Liam and Theo have soulmarks that reveal each other’s names once their bond is strong enough or one of them dies, set during the events of 6A finale and 6B.

Untitled by Vattenhaunter

Au based off the premise of you can’t see color until you meet your soul-mate.

Warmth by invisible_slytherin

“I want to get to know this new Theo, the one that came back from hell and helped me and my pack win a war, the Theo that saved my life multiple times,” Liam explained. “I want to get to know the Theo that makes me feel warm. If you'll let me.”

Or, the one where the world is cold and you can only feel warmth after you and your soulmate share a long, meaningful touch.

True Love by NekoAliceYamiYaoi

One day while being with Mason and Liam over the beta's house, Corey sees a red string over Liam's pinky after he turns invisible; every time he turns invisible he sees the string and so one time he follows it, and surprisingly enough it leads him to none other than Theo Raeken.

[officialthiamlibrary]

Welcome to another profile on Behind the Screens, giving you personal insight on who your favorite artists are and what they do when they aren’t wowing you with their creative ability.

This week, we have the pleasure of learning more about Kristina, also know in our circle as Thiamlife. The author of Rivals AU, Anchors, and numerous prompts, she loops us in on her life as a trainer, her writing persona, and her tips for writing angst. 

Kristina! To start us off, tell us something about yourself. The catch: use a sentence, where the word count is either equal to or less than the number of letters in you two favorite Teen Wolf character’s name.

Theo Raeken + Malia Tate = 19: I’m Sporty Spice but can act like Baby Spice, want to be Posh Spice but badass like Scary Spice.

Before the era of Teen Wolf, we found love and OTPs in other shows. What would you say were your first ships, think way back?

Oh lord, um, probably Marissa and Ryan from the O.C., but I also loved the Buffy/Spike/Angel situation.

And, how did you land in the Thiam Family? What about Theo x Liam drew you in?

Honestly, I just stumbled upon it. But it was one of those things where you see it and then it just clicks… like “Where have you been my whole life?” I wasn’t caught up when I saw the first Thiam related thing on my dash and was like hmm interesting and then when I was catching up the whole time I found myself desperately looking for all the subtle Thiam things.

I know we were made to hate Theo, but for some reason I just couldn’t and when I noticed that Liam didn’t either I was completely smitten. I just love how their love never was nor ever will be easy (blame the angst queen that lives inside me). They have to constantly fight and struggle to be with each other. But at the same time it was so blatantly obvious and simple for them to rely on each other even though they may not have realized it. I also just love how protective Theo was over Liam.

If you could build the ultimate paintball/laser tag team from any five characters on Teen Wolf, who would they be and why?

Malia cause she’s a straight badass and I love her. Theo because he likes strategy and has a serious sense of self preservation that would come in handy if the rest of us got taken out. Brett ‘cause damn, that boy is athletic. Corey because he could make us all invisible. And the fifth spot would be a wildcard choice between Chris, Derek, and Deucalion. All three of them bring something to the table and are valuable.

I’m definitely picking up the Sporty Spice feels, for sure! Together, your and Ashlee’s (AJP_37) teams would be an unstoppable force. Let’s shift into your writing. If your writing process was a person, describe him or her? What do they do? Wear? Listen to?

She is unsuspecting. A relatively plain and humble girl, but has a spice about her. It’s in her walk and the way she does her makeup. She loves leggings, off the shoulder sweaters, and having her hair tied up in a messy bun. She likes to listen to edm when she’s feeling light and free, Beyonce when she’s feeling badass, The Neighbourhood and Sam Smith when she wants to chill, and country on warm summer days. She’s a sucker for innuendos and teasing. She’s a gemini in the truest form and has many facets to her personality, but thrives in drama/angst. She’s fiercely loyal and it is extremely easy to make her jealous but she won’t show it unless cornered. She’s always ready to go big but wouldn’t mind going home either.

And your writing Kryptonite? How do you fight it?

My Kryptonite is honestly myself. There are always at least three different directions brewing in my mind in which to take my stories or chapters. Trying to pick one is so difficult and often deters me from completing things. I also am extremely critical of the flow of a piece of work. Sometimes it’s really hard for me to publish things because I know that it could be better but I don’t know how to take it there or don’t want to get rid of I have already written. When I feel like that I read over it a couple times and try to make all the adjustments I can before telling myself that this is how the characters in my head wanted it to happen if I was able to write a whole chapter about it. (Yes the characters in my head dictate where the story goes lol) I also go back and read everyone’s comments just to remind myself that people actually like the story so the new chapter can’t be that much different in terms of audience acceptance.

Do you write novels or short stories with original characters, as well? If so, share one you’re particularly passionate about.  

I do. Although, I haven’t been paying it much attention since I got sucked into the Thiam fandom… whoops. It’s a romance novel about a girl that gets screwed over by her mom and doesn’t want help from anyone in fear that she’ll just be left in the same position. But a man from her past just won’t seem to take no for answer and refuses to let her continue in her struggle. The first chapter is on my Ao3, funnily enough it’s called Wolves and was titled that before I even began to write fanfics.

Characters often find themselves in situations they aren’t sure they can get themselves out of. When was the last time you found yourself in situation like that and what did you do?

I’m actually working on this at the moment. It happens far too frequently to just pinpoint one time… divorced parents that act like children are super fun in case anyone was wondering. Up until recently, I found myself being the tug of war rope between them and don’t know how to say no which ended up with me doing a bunch of things I couldn’t get myself out of. Can now happily announce that I have separated myself from that and hope to avoid those kinds of situations as much as possible from here on out. :) Sorry if that was too personal…

In addition to your prompts and other stories, you’re currently writing two chaptered works. We’d love to learn more about those and your process for bringing them to life. For anyone unfamiliar, can you give us a quick summary of both Rivals AU and Anchors?

Anchors: Liam Dunbar has had enough of being out of control. So he decides to shut his wolf off for awhile… the only problem is it could end up getting him killed. Theo Raeken had never been good with feelings. But he can’t fathom the idea of losing the little beta. So he makes it his personal mission to help Liam find his way back to the supernatural. Lines will be crossed and there may be no coming back from it. Its angsty and the end will have a twist you didn’t see coming.

Rivals: But rivaling teams AU though… Like, they don’t even play the same sports, but both teams don’t take the other really serious and they constantly prank each other and make fun of each other. Theo, captain of the Football team, and Liam, captain of the Lacrosse team, and they both claim they can’t stand each other and it would be all so easy if it weren’t for the fact that both find their counterpart more than just attractive and maybe one of their screaming matches on the field ends with them furiously making out under the shower after everybody else is gone. And maybe it becomes a regular occurrence from then on; first, they fight and bicker and then they make out. And maybe it’s getting harder and harder to pretend they hate each other’s guts because there is far more between them than just attraction. Oh, well, nobody has to know, right? Idea from formerprincess on tumblr. Okay this one is SUPER angsty, like beware.

What inspired you to write both?

Anchors kinda of just popped in my head one day. After Thiamweek and writing drabbles I decided I wanted to try writing a longer story. I fell out of love with it after being accused of plagiarism and honestly almost didn’t continue writing it. But decided that I would just change the end to reflect how the whole thing made me feel.

I saw the Rivals prompt on tumblr and was praying that someone would write it because it sounded sooooo good. The more I thought about it the more ideas I came up with until it got to the point where I was like no! I hope someone hasn’t already started writing it because I would love to take a whack at it. I hope everyone is enjoying what I’ve done with it! (P.S. sorry it has gotten a little dark, that was like rock bottom for both of them and now the only way to go is up :D)

Any scenes, specifically, inspired by your personal life?

Yes, actually. There’s a couple things in Rivals that were inspired by my personal life, mainly a few of the pranks that have been/will be pulled but there are a few other things in there, as well. And as I mentioned above, Anchors will kind of touch on how it felt to be torn down by someone but built back up by the most wonderful people.

They each include a fair amount of angst, what are some ways you get into the headspace to write angst? Do you have any tips for writers who’d like to improve those skills?

Hmmm. Angst is just something that comes naturally to me I guess. I love the way it makes you feel, like you have to stop but yet you keep going because you need to know what happens. It's like when you try to see how long you can hold your breath under water, those last few seconds burn and you know you should come up for air but you want to see if you can actually make it just a couple more. When I sit down to write something angsty I really just try to put myself in the character’s place and describe how I would be feeling but I make sure to tack on aspects from their character. For example, if Liam were to be sitting in the hospital with Theo, I would be freaking out and sad so I write that for Liam but add hints of anger and self-doubt.

So I would definitely suggest placing yourself in the situation and writing how you would react and then think of it from your character’s pov. I also like to write all my angsty scenes at night… it's weird but the darkness and less busy/loud city really help to put me in a ominous mindset. Also, use as many descriptive words as possible!!! Setting the scene for angst is, in my opinion, more important than the actual dialogue. Dialogue can be inserted anywhere but how it’s read or perceived depends on the mood you set for it.

Ok, that is amazing advice! Can we do a practice demonstration? How would you set the scene that use dialogue like, “Whenever you decide you can stand talking to me again, don’t.”

Depends on who’s pov it is. If the character is the one saying that then obviously they are a little angry/hurt. So the words “harshly” “through clenched teeth” “growls” “glared” would be really useful. But also internalizing the feeling. So like “He pushed out through clenched teeth. The words tasted like bitter venom in his mouth. He didn’t care how the boy across from him flinched upon hearing them, he only cared that he had allowed himself to be cut this deeply. He let his shoulders tense as he spun away from him and stalked off angrily to go lick his wounds somewhere else. The cold from the dingy warehouse finally breaking through his supernatural warmth and settling in his bones.” When I’m angry, I’m usually more angry at the fact that I allowed myself to be hurt/affected rather than the actual thing that happened or was said. So that’s how I would spin it if the character was the one saying it. Painting a picture as to why he reacted that way and making sure the reader can picture the look on his face and make them physically tense their own body in response to the words above.

If the character was on the receiving end of those words, I would convey the hurt/’oh fuck’ emotions. This one would be more internalized than the one saying it, so more of a mental reaction is needed here. Again, I put myself in the situation and visualize what I would do/what would be going through my head if I were to have that said to me. Here’s what I came up with: “He recoiled as if he had been backhanded. He didn’t mean to push the chimera that far. This all started out as a silly game but it had quickly morphed into something the both of them weren’t ready for. And now he stood there, frozen in place, and watched as the one person he truly cared about, his anchor, walked away from him in disgust. The room was darker without him, it was colder. Liam shuddered at the raw feelings slamming in to him and at tone of voice Theo had used with him. He hadn’t spoken to him like that since before he was pulled down to hell, Liam almost forgot who the old Theo was… and now he had just brought him back. His face dropped and a pained noise escaped his throat; What had he done?”  

That’s just an angsty version though. It could also be placed in a humorous way. As a joke between Stiles and Theo. Again, set the scene… paint a picture for the readers with descriptive words:

Stiles mumbled under his breath for the fifth time while walking next to him. Theo couldn’t help but smile as they walked through the colorful preserve foliage on this bright autumn morning.

‘Something you want to say to the group Stiles?’ Theo chuckled after hearing yet another mumbled sentence out of the quirky boy who used to be his friend.

‘Not really’ Stiles grumbled which only made Theo’s smile a bit wider.

‘Are you sure? I’m pretty certain I actually heard you say that I had a good idea and that you were somewhat glad I was in the pack.’

Stiles retorted with some half-assed insult that made that rest of the pack giggle from their various positions beside them.

‘On second thought, whenever you decide you can stand to talk to me again, don’t.’

Stiles scoffed and stopped short glaring in to the side of his head making him stop and look back at him. ‘Oh that’s rich. You’re telling ME not to talk to YOU?’ He sputtered incredulously.

Theo smirked and nodded.

‘What the hell, why?’

Theo shrugged his shoulders and glanced over to Scott who was about to lose his shit laughing, same with Malia and Mason. ‘Because you’re extremely invasive and I don’t want you popping up at my house with some crazy plan every 5 seconds.’ He turned and winked at Liam.

‘Our house.’ Liam corrected as he slid up next to Theo brushing his shoulder against Theo’s arm.

Stiles sputtered and pointed at both of them, ‘How dare you! My plans are flawless’ he shouted earning a snort from Lydia and Malia, ‘and you… you… you little ungrateful shit! I practically raised you!’ At this point Mason and Scott were rolling on the wet leaves, tears streaming down their faces from laughter.”

Wow sorry just wrote a drabble and didn’t even mean to… see setting the scene is important! It takes simple dialogue to the next level and makes it a story rather than just a conversation. Hope this helps!

That was extremely helpful with a hearty side dish of entertainment. So while we're all processing how we’re going to write angst forever now, want to slide us any spoilers for things to come in both stories?

Haha, there may or may not be some steamy scenes in one or both of them soon. That’s all I can say for now.

I suppose, for now that has to be enough haha. Finally, what’s next for you? Both in life and in the writing world?

I’m currently in the process of taking over an athletic training company. So my workload has been steadily increasing, even though it may not seem like based off of how active I am on tumblr haha. Luckily, I get to do most of it from home before the actual coaching and teaching that takes place in the afternoon.

As for my writing, sadly I think Anchors is approaching the end… it will always hold a special place in my heart though because it was my first multi-chapter fanfic. Rivals is my number one baby right now and I have ZERO clue what I will do when I finish that. Hopefully I find another awesome prompt that can take Thiam for a ride. Been toying with dabbling in Drarry... but am thinking I’ll leave that one alone so I can just appreciate it as a reader.

My ask and inbox are always open!! I’m always accepting prompts; it may take me awhile to get around to them because of Rivals, Anchors, Secret Santa, and a possible oneshot smut ;) but I always like to take a break from my fics every once in a while to clear my head and get my creative juices flowing again!

Thank you so so much for wanting to interview me and get to know me a little bit more! The Thiam fandom is awesome and I’m so glad to call it my home!

And with that, Behind the Screens (BTS) presents ThiamLife to you! Let’s keep the conversation going; you can respond to any of her answers, ask more questions, send a prompt, or swing by for a chat with Kristina through her Tumblr Ask Box. And to dive into her works, check out her AO3 and Tumblr.

Tumblr: thiamlife

AO3: Mskristinamay

Ask Box: Thiamlife Ask

We’d like to thank her so much for entertaining our questions, especially the angst demonstration! One of our favorite pieces about BTS is the opportunity to learn craft secrets from one another. So thanks Kristina for breaking it down and going above and beyond the question :)

If you fan over a Thiam writer, artist, music mixologist, or video-making mastermind and want to know more about them, send us their usernames at any time. Also, feel free to add questions you’re dying to ask them. And if you, as an artist, would like to be a part of the Behind the Screens series, we’d love to get to know you, as well. 

Until next time!
