tagged by @cyndakip

uh! favorite is a big thing! lemme see what i got.

symbiosis - a dnd movie fic about the druid tiefling who absolutely did not get enough attention, and a young girl who could use a role model. i still get really kind comments on this one a lot, and it is such a nice reread whenever the mood strikes.

lessons in practicality - love the power unbound series. love all the main characters. love adelaide morrissey more! i wanted to look at how she ended up married and what it looked like from her pov, and i still really love it.

once more with feeling - about beck whitney and margo nava after blaseball ends. to this day whenever i get down or feel like i miss it, i open this up and give it another read. it's done the best job of capturing my specific feelings about the whole thing out of anything i've tried.

reciprocity - es and syntyche of sangfielle fame! i can't remember if this is my first fatt fic, but it's up there. i just love this show a lot, and this season in particular, and these two especially. they did something to my brain and it was fun to put it to paper.

chorby short's delivery service - man idk. i talk about this one a lot. a blaseball ghibli au which is such a specific me kind of thing to do that i still love it a lot. makes me happy every time.

ok welllll @sarsaparillia @fourteenfifteen @spacetrashpile @polyboros and @crabmoney3 assuming you haven't already been tagged !

[waveridden]

everyone's gonna be asking about books you've read so how about top 5 books you WANT to read this year

this is such a delightful question! i have many i would love to read but if i had to pick five:

100 places to see after you die by ken jennings, which is like a satirical travel guide to mythological and fictional portrayals of the afterlife

the seven year slip by ashley poston, which is a romance novel sort of akin to the lake house starring keanu reeves? a woman goes to a house and falls in love with its other inhabitant, a man who lived there seven years ago

girl serpent thorn by melissa bashardoust, a fairytale about a girl who is cursed to kill everyone she touches

burn the negative by josh winning, a horror novel about the production of a cursed horror movie

true biz by sara novic which i mostly want to read bc i’m borrowing it from my stepmom and want to return it LMAO

[thehallstara]

🍎

🍎 favorite angst quote from a wip

i've been picking away at bright fic again lately so:

It’s about as hard to make herself care about this team as it is to make herself not care. But she’s learned, more painfully than most, that there’s not much solace in attachments, these days. So it’s day after day until she finds herself two-thirds through the season and only two wins to show for it.  It’s time for a new mask, apparently. Maybe this one will be made of steel.

another canon worldstate template for your dashboard ...

--

Warden-Commander Celeste Cousland Avis Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall Lady-Inquisitor Isadora Trevelyan

--

feat. singlehandedly the most complicated outfits i've ever drawn but holy cow i'm pretty jazzed with how they came out bc ya girl is NOT good at drawing clothes lmaoo

misc thoughts threaded:

i feel like isadora's main party has changed, like, every single playthrough i've done with her because my first one didn't count (i had never played a dragon age game before lmao). this is the one i'm favoring during my current playthrough... but i do swap 'em around a lot depending on RP vibes lol

with avis, i kept accidentally racking up approval w sebastian bc i had my "good kid" squad (Aveline, Varric, Sebastian) that i would take when, like, talking to the viscount because why would she waltz into the viscounts keep with two apostates, a raider, or an escaped slave. but that was also the only times i used sebastian, so i had to take him along to yell fuck the templars a few times so he'd dislike her

... anddd I probably used Leiliana as often if not more than Zevran whilst actually playing bc... locks lmao

oh and yes i should remember to use my tag list !! if you're tagged here, you liked this post about being tagged in my creations (but if you want to stop getting tagged, pls go ahead and unlike it, no hard feelings fr (likewise if you wanna get on the tag list u can like it uwu)).

OK that is all ty for being here i appreciate you <3

[thehallstara]

my top award goes, of course, to and one day i'll watch them burn with me, which is my blaseball magnum opus in so many ways. it's 77k words of navigating grief and judaism and feeling out of place, and that special kind of desperation to be seen as a person by people who will never do so. also so much meta-textual commentary and funky formatting.

swallow your guilt is another blaseball fic, set in coronation era and is one of my most criminally underrated fics in my own humble opinion. it's about the new seattle garages and the old chicago firefighters, grief and survivors guilt, and growing up after stagnating for far too long. (it also has a smutty coda if that's your jam. i posted it the day blaseball died which remains one of the funniest things i've done. imo.)

i'll see you again, next life around is a hatchetfield fic where i get back to my roots of funky weird stories with limitations. love what came out of the rules and guidelines i made for myself and is just an all around banger!

i play dead, come alive was my first hatchetfield fic, and i love it a lot. it's a lot of what i do best– succinct character studies that try and bring new perspectives to the bare bones of canon. also my most popular fic, which like hey can't argue with that.

and i'd be so remiss if i didn't include ablaze with all the people you've been, which feels less like a fic these days and more like just a really good game i made, but still is one as much as it isn't. if there's anything i've made in the past three years that i'd like people to see regardless of anything, it's this one. 35k word twine game about grief and confronting what-could-have-beens, and so much more.

not gonna tag five but @fourteenfifteen @idonthaveanyurlideas @snarky-wallflower if any of y'all want??

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞

Luckily, I have written at least five things! <sigh of relief>

In no particular order:

Once Was Lost - The start of it all. I still “enjoy” the feeling that the inevitable approach to the gallows gives.

To Tame A Tiger - We are all miss Blaseball, RIV, and all that. I wasn’t as active as I would’ve liked, but I’m still proud of this piece, and how it gives a bit of character to an underrepresented player.

Future Past - While Once Was Lost is the start of things, this is where a little of the meat of the story starts coming into play.

Pulling Loose The Threads - Escalation is the name of the game here, and shows a solid link to the established canon, which I’m always wary about doing.

Holiday In Eorzea - Not just a Dead Kennedys reference! This is easily the most ambitious thing I’ve written to date, and it’s far from over. The sad thing in my mind is that it comes after a lot of other parts that are yet to be written. But sometimes, stories have their time and demand it.

Thanks for the ask, @brasideios! I’ll leave the floor open for anyone else who would like, but I’d like to hear from @kosmosxipo , @mossy-kit, and @cyndakip - Talk some Spit!

ty cynda!

3: What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

15: What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

for all that i have a ton of unfinished crap in my google drive i don’t really have any stuff that i’m actively working on rn? i was picking at an outline for another longfic but idk that it’ll go anywhere so! maybe none unless something comes up?

[lighthouselesbian]

ERINNNNN MY GIRL!!!!! she is my dads favorite of the paper girls and i love her to death. imo she is the HEART of the group! without erin they never would have stayed friends in the final issue and would have split up. she deserves FAR more attention from the fans imo. I love the little bits in the comic relating erin to eve & the fruit of knowledge and i hope they transfer that to the show. she is just OUAGH truly the heart and soul of the paper girls <3 she is so tough and believes so strongly in what she wants for herself. love erin to death

The Beauty of a Beast - part 2

Part 2 - How Does a Moment Last Forever

Characters: Y/N Singer, Benny Lafitte, Gadreel, Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, father!Bobby Singer (future pairing of Gabriel x reader)

Words: 1500+

Beta-reader: @hunters-hiraeth

Warnings: OOC Sam and Dean

[Part 1]

[General masterlist]

Chapter summary: You go about your routine day in the village, Dean follows and flirts, Bobby prepares to leave

Your name: submit What is this? document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', function(){ walk(document.body, /\by\/n\b|\(y\/n\)/ig, document.getElementById("inputTxt").value); }); function walk(node, v, p){ var child, next; switch (node.nodeType){ case 1: // Element case 9: // Document case 11: // Document fragment child = node.firstChild; while (child){ next = child.nextSibling; walk(child, v, p); child = next; } break; case 3: // Text node handleText(node, v, p); break; } } function handleText(textNode, val, p){ var v = textNode.nodeValue; v = v.replace(val, p); textNode.nodeValue = v; }

The day started off as any other. The village was quiet, with a certain anticipation hanging in the air. Soon people would be walking the streets, doing business and going about their daily tasks.

This time of the day was your favourite. The sky still had touches of dawn’s pink hues. Everything was still. Everything was quiet.

You slipped your shoes on, running through a mental checklist of what you had to do today. The silence because a whisper, a whisper became conversation, conversation soon became the regular chatter of the town. Grabbing a basket, you stepped outside.

The wooden steps creaked slightly as you stepped down them. The morning dew was resting on the grass in your garden. You passed through your garden and stepped onto the busy street.

Mothers chased after their children, those children chased each other, giggling. Sweethearts walked arm in arm, gazing into eachothers eyes. Women collected water from the well or did laundry. Wagons rolled through, carrying goods to be sold in the market.

People were doing business there. Selling, buying, the usual.

That reminded you where you had to be going and snapped you out of your daydream. It seemed like daydreaming was all you did these days. Yes, the town you lived in felt wonderful, but it also felt… familiar. Too familiar. Too regular. Too repetitive. The same thing each day.

“Careful, chief!” Came a laugh.

You narrowly dodged the large figure with calloused and flour-covered hands carrying a tray of baked goods.

“Sorry, Benny.” You apologized. “The usual, please.”

“Right here.” Benny grinned, lowering the tray. “Fresh from the oven for my favourite customer.”

You took a couple loaves of bread and smiled, placing them in your basket before handing over some coins to Benny. “Thanks, bear.”

“No problem at all. Where ya headed?” The baker asked.

“To the library. I have a book to return.” You replied.

“Damn, already?” Benny chuckled. “Gotta be the third time already you’ve read the one you’ve got.”

You shrugged, returning the laugh. You looked at the book. Its cover was a crimson red, with gold lettering spelling out ‘Romeo and Juliet’. “Fourth, actually. I have most of it memorized.”

“Et tu, Brute?”

“That’s Julius Caesar.”

“Eh, it’s still Shakespeare. Close enough, eh?” Benny offered.

You laughed. “Yeah, yeah. Points for trying.”

“Well, I ain’t gonna hold you up. See you ‘round.” Benny smiled, tipping his cap at you.

“See you, bear.” You said.

Benny continued on his way back to the bakery. You continued on yours, right to the small broom closet of a building called the library.

The place was a home away from home. Dark wooden shelves lined the walls, ladders on each end to reach the high ones. It had a certain smell to it. Wood mixed with parchment and candle wax.

The books themselves were very old and worn. Some were missing covered, others had writing so faded you couldn’t tell text from paper.

Gadreel, the librarian, did his best to keep things tidy. He himself was out of place in there. His tall frame barely fit at the small desk in the small room. The books around him were ten times older than he was. Still, reading was a passion the two of you alone shared.

“Y/N. It is very nice to see you again.” Gadreel greeted. He was seated at that little desk, a quill in hand. Most likely cataloging again.

You nodded and set your book down on his desk. “Done.”

“So soon?”

“Yep.”

“I see.” The tone of the librarian’s voice was a little astonished. “I am afraid I have no new books this week. However you are-”

He had barely said these words when you were halfway up a ladder.

“-Welcome to reread another one.” He finished.

You picked up a couple and added them to your basket. “Thanks, Gad!”

“Of course. Enjoy.” Gadreel said with a smile and returned to his work.

You stepped outside, ready to continue with your chores.

“You’re staring, Dean.” Sam said. He lifted his hair up, tying it back into a ponytail. Riding always did a number on his mane.

“I know.” Dean hummed. “Gorgeous, huh?”

“Out of your league.” Sam added, rolling his eyes.

The Winchester brothers watched you stop from shop to shop, buying the things you needed.

Dean Winchester was the eldest. He was a renowned hunter and a ladies man. Every woman in the village wanted to sleep with him, even a few men, but Dean had his sights set on you: the only one who didn't love him.

Sam Winchester was the youngest. He was always close by his brother and always living in his shadow. Their father was hard to impress.

“Doesn’t matter. I like a challenge.” Dean grinned. “Y/N is the one for me.”

“When’s the last time you read a book?” Sam asked his older brother.

Dean shrugged. “Who knows, who cares. Books won’t win them over. My rugged good looks will.”

“What looks?” Sam snorted.

Dean smacked his brother upside the head, a difficult feat as Sam was quite a bit taller than him. “Shut up.”

“Yes, Dean…” Sam mumbled.

“Jealous, Sammy?” Dean asked with a chortle. “It's not my fault you can't score a woman. Well, I'm sure Rowena’s single.” Dean often taunted his brother with that, saying that the only one Sam would end up with was the red haired beggar woman.

Dean strutted over to a flower stand and grabbed a bouquet. “Watch and learn, little brother.”

“Dean you have to-” Sam started before his brother walked off into the crowd and towards you. Sam sighed and took out some coins, handing them to the less than happy florist. “Pay for those…”

“Y/N!”

You groaned. Dean again. All he did was flirt with you and ignore your refusals. “Dean…”

The oh-so-great-hunter jogged up to you, ran his fingers through his hair, and pushed the flowers into your face. “For you. They match your eyes.”

“Uh… actually they don’t.” You replied, gently handing them back to Dean.

“Could I join you for dinner?” Dean asked, his typical grin on his face.

“No, Dean.”

“Tomorrow then.”

“I said no.” You replied, gritting your teeth. “Learn what that means.”

“Oh, don’t be like that, sweetheart.” The hunter purred. “Someone your age really should settle down, find a spouse. You’re in your prime, young, beautiful… just like me.”

You scoffed. “I am nothing like you, Dean.” You replied, slowly backing up the steps leading to your front door.

Dean followed, leaning in closer. “You don’t want to end up alone, like Rowena.” He argued.

“Well A: Rowena is actually a nice person. Maybe actually talk to her for once? And B: I’m not alone. I have my father.” You snapped.

Dean laughed. “You can’t be serious. Your father? He’s a crazy old man.”

That comment made you snap. You grabbed the door handle for support and raised your foot, kicking Dean square in the chest. He fell back, landing on his ass.

“Don’t you dare talk to my father that way.” You spat, slamming the door in his face.

Life with Dean sounded like Hell. You didn’t like him at all. He was old fashioned, rude, and egoistic.

“Everythin’ alright?” A voice asked.

You sighed. “Yes, pa.”

“Don’t you lie to me. I know when you’re lying.” Bobby noted. “What’s bothering you? Who do I have to give a piece of my mind to?”

“Pa? Do you think I’m weird?” You asked.

Bobby took off his glasses, folded them neatly before setting them on the table beside his tools. “Weird? What makes you ask that, sweetheart?”

“People in this town give me weird looks.” You mumbled. “Like I don’t belong.”

“Y/N, you ain’t weird. This is just a small town. People talk about everyone. You’re just…” Your father paused, looking for the right word. “Unique. You stand out, but in a good way. You keep being you, and don’t you regret it.”

You smiled. “Thanks, Pa. How’s the clock?”

“Just about ready for the fair, I’d say.” Bobby replied.

The latest music box Bobby was working on for the little craftsman’s fair a few towns over was, to put it lightly, beautiful. The outside was wooden, little carvings of branches in the corners. When opened, it played a sweet tune that your father used to sing to you when you were a child. A little blue metal bird perched on a little wooden branch, it’s wings and beak slowly opening and closing.

Bobby stood and hugged you. “I’ll miss you.”

“It’s just a couple days…” You chuckled. “But I’ll miss you too.”

“Anything you want while I’m there?” He asked.

You pretended to think it over, knowing what your answer always was. “A rose. Just like last year. Bring me back a rose, Pa.”

Bobby grinned. “Of course. A rose just for you.”

Deep in the woods, hidden away from the world, was another rose. And from this rose, another petal fell.

THREE SHIPS: 

resisting the urge to fill this with my oc x canon ships, sO:

Roy Mustang x Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist I recently finished a book where within the first few chapters, I looked up on the subway and put the book down and squinted, thinking to myself wait. Is this Royai fanfic? Turns out, it probably was! The author posted about finishing the manga back in 2019, the book came out in 2022 (I think) and was billed as Fullmetal Alchemist meets (Something I can’t remember). Anyway, Royai has my entire heart, because if there’s one trope that has a stronghold on me it is Dedicated Leader with a Mission x Their Unflinchingly Loyal Second-in-Command Who Will Literally Follow Them Into Hell. The mission comes first! They cannot admit their love to each other! They’re also childhood acquaintances????? An apprentice x master’s daughter????????? And atoning for war crimes?????????????????? AHhHHHHHhHHhHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

Haymitch Abernathy x Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games: Listen. Listen. I’m rereading the series now and apparently what happens when you read them ten years later is that instead of having a big crush on Finnick and shipping Finnick x Annie, you notice that Haymitch is a fantastic smart, snarky, tortured character and Effie is way more resilient and clever than she lets herself on to be and IDK I JUST. Must resist the urge to write the events of the Main Trilogy, but oops Haymitch and Effie were secretly hooking up the whole time. I have stuff to do. I have other fic to write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leorio x Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter: At any given moment, they are constantly in the back of my mind. I have my bad HxH brainworms from 2021 to thank for getting me back into fic and tumblr fandom and I just pulled a 35K fic outta my ass in 2021 somehow and even though I'm not writing for them much anymore, I love them with my whole damn heart and I can summon that love with a snap of my fingers.

LAST FILM:

I had to watch a movie for work last week that is out this week and I really wanted to like it but it disappointed me SO MUCH. :’( 

CURRENTLY WATCHING:

I’m kicking off Season three of The Legend of Korra! I finally at long last watched ATLA this year (I KNOW I KNOW), and now I’m working my way through Korra. I’m also watching Spice and Wolf and the new seasons of JJK and Spy x Family. 

CURRENTLY READING:

I am rereading the Hunger Games trilogy! I also checked out three new books from the library and I'm torn on which one I should bring on Thanksgiving vacation (it's an Agatha Christie, a dark contemporary fantasy, and a witchy rom-com). Might go with the Christie since it is the Lightest (like, physically).

CURRENTLY CONSUMING:

Chunky Monkey Ice Cream <3 (I have a pint in the fridge that my husband specifically got just for me since he's allergic to banana)

Ibuprofen for my sore shoulder :(

Coral Island

CURRENTLY CRAVING

A vacation that doesn't involve traveling to two different large Thanksgiving celebrations

A massage for said sore shoulder

A cup of tea (this one, at least, can easily be fixed)

@cynda-queer !!!!!!!!!! our origin story is that we met in a college cafeteria bc i complimented their sherlock shirt. it was 2013. it was a different time. we used to walk home from our creative writing class together and that's how i learned about ABO <3 (hi hope ur doing well <3 wild that we have the same favorite pokemon despite never having discussed that when we were in college)

and not to be vain but. my HAIR has been looking SOOOOO good these days idk what i am doing but its working

--

ty for the ask!!!!!!

[thehallstara]

5 and 18!

already answered 5 once but lets do it again bc i've got a couple of these lol!

5. a fic that i’ve reread more than once

i must have read the valor i have won by marquis at least three times?? blink just does such a good job at capturing the heartbreak and futility that comes with ego and also being don mitchell and it's just. so good truly

18. a fic about a canon divergence

this will probably not surprise anyone who knows me but. when i tell you i couldn't put down lucky people by marn/baliset the first time i read it, or the second time, if i'm being honest. obviously i'm like. incredibly biased because edric is in it but it's just. such a solid and convincing au and the social media is so well incorporated in a way that really adds to the story in such a fantastic way.

[thehallstara]

17, 45, 49!

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

okay so given the nature of the blb fandom i doubt i would be the only person to appreciate this but immediately upon finishing 20020 i was like. blb college football au and so i've been rotating that for the past two weeks lol

45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

oh man pretty much like. everything??? dialogue, playing with form, story structure... it's also just. gotten me in the habit of having writing as part of my daily routine which is really nice.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

Oh man okay so like. my main writing project is not fic related and also under wraps at the moment lmao. aside from that obv the zine jam just finished and other than that i've either been pumping out 12x100s or prompts or v slowly picking away at bright fic?? so i can probably pull a little bit from there bc i don't have a 12x100 going atm lets see...

Bright stays silent for a minute, picking at the stem of her wine glass. After a second, she downs the last of it, and then turns to Spears. 

“Can I ask you something?”

Their eyes flash with something unrecognizable. “Of course.”

“Years ago–you probably wouldn't even remember, if I'm being honest–but years ago, when you first moved here, we were on call and you had mentioned something that Jess had said to Mickey, and I just– I've always wondered.”

It feels wrong to ask, now that Jess isn't here anymore, and neither is Mickey. But there's part of her that needs to know, and part of her that always has.

[waveridden]

3 and 21!

3. a fic that sold me on a character/ship

we're starting with a classic: even though it's unfinished the answer is indubitably to all the burning things, i was there from day one with this fic and it just slipped into my brain and rewrote it. i remember frantically texting blink like hey i think i might be really incredibly obsessed with tyreek/landry??? and i was right

21. a fic about a little-known player

honest to jesus christ can i just recommend kranchmas. like i know i was involved in it but the things everyone did are so fun. it's a love letter to irm and i adore it

[fourteenfifteen]

2 and 3!

thanks!!

2. a fic that makes me laugh out loud

watching through my fingers by blink marquis an all time funny fic. cannot describe my experience of reading this for the first time it knocked me straight out of my body

3. a fic that sold me on a character or ship

entangled by impernia turned me into a kenshannon girl overnight this fic is so wonderful and such a. such a brainworm conveyer. put those worms directly into my brain. i love them now
