May I ask about the The Found Family Stays Together AU (Main and Snippets)?

(For this)

Haha, so I talked a bit about the AU here, but it's basically a, "What if the Union Leaders stayed together and built Scala" sort of thing. The "MAIN" document is, like the name implies, the actual main story. It's...actually surprisingly short compared to the "SNIPS" document, but it does have the main point of divergence for the AU:

            The world was ending, and Lauriam had a choice to make.             Ven was unconscious, already in his lifeboat.  Elrena was watching from hers, halfway in and wary.  His sister was waiting for him, somewhere off this dying world.             But Brain and Skuld and Ephemer were still here—and if he left now, he would have no idea what would happen to them.  He didn’t know if they’d even survive, and—and he didn’t want to lose anyone else.             (His sister had been dead for a while now—but the others were still alive and here.)             “I’m staying.”             “What.”

And an additional excerpt from the snippets below the cut:

            It was late, he was tired, everyone else was tired, but he still couldn’t bring himself to go to sleep.

            The seven of them had collected together in the living room—still being restored, slowly but surely—in varying states of awareness.  Lauriam was sleeping as far away as he could from everyone, and Brain tried not to think about how much that made his chest twist.  Ven was, too, but Elrena had surprisingly taken point on that one, hovering between the two of them like she was trying to make sure that nothing bad happened.  Ephemer had fallen asleep sitting up, trying to work as much as Brain had been.  Their honorary Dandelion was still awake, but barely, paging through a book on the floor.  He couldn’t tell if Skuld was awake or not; she was leaning against his back, but he hadn’t heard anything from her in a while.

            His eyes were heavy, but he stubbornly forced them to stay open and turned another page.  He didn’t know what he was looking for exactly, just—just that he wanted to try and figure out how to get the Dandelions out.  To rebuild Daybreak Town.  To fix things.  (To make his family not feel quite so broken anymore.)

            Skuld shifted slightly, and he caught her sleepy, muffled murmur: “Go to sleep, Brain.”

            Not asleep, then.  “I’m fine.”

            A hand reached around his side and grasped blindly for his book.

            “Skuld,” he said with a tired sigh, moving it out of reach.

            “You’re not fine.”  Quieter, she added, “I don’t think any of us are right now.”

Lets hear about The Ultimate Mordetwi Fanfiction from the WIP Folder Meme Tag! (if you dont mind of course!)

HAHAHAHA Ohmygosh! Thank you for asking!

We all know this meme right?

Absolutely and fantastically hilarious. It was the best crack ship I had seen, introduced to me by my sister.

Then we had a brilliant Idea.

She's good at drawing Manga Comics but doesn't have a story. I am good at writing and can provide that story for her. I write the fanfic and we post it on ao3, she draws the comics for it. It's funny!

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough inspiration and drive, despite the hilarity and ridiculousness this was going to be. My sister also didn't have the inspiration to draw it anymore, so it's just here... sitting like a duck.

[little-peril-stories]

ENSV? 👀

In reference to this post.

Some poor darlings I was preparing to whump back in...2021? 22? Who knows. It stands for Eliza, Nate, Simon, Violet, and it does not have a title. It was meant to be a fantasy story in a historical setting!

3 (ENS) are triplets separated as babies for ~ reasons I never figured out ~ 😅 Eliza & Nate find one another through various magical means, and eventually learn a) there's a third sibling and b) he's missing! (Oh no! In the few scenes I wrote, poor Simon SUFFERED lmao.)

Violet is Simon's adopted sister who they meet in their search for him. Very feisty and protective of her brother.

I really like the concept but I never developed it enough to make a fulsome plot. It requires a bit of magic system building, something I'm not good at, and WAY more attention to the external conflict. The antagonist was a woman, though, which is something I don't do that often! What does she want? Who the hell knows.

“Simon!” The cry cut into his soul as Violet launched herself again at the unrelenting iron bars. “Simon!” As before—as always—he gave no response. Violet slammed a fist against the walls. “You bastards! What have you done to him?”

WIP folder list tag

@writinglittlebeasts tagged me for this one! I actually took an open tag recently, so here's the list of subfolders/Scrivener documents I have scattered about. But then I decided to divide it out into my canons with commentary. (Maybe I cheated a little by doing old stuff but idk. My current wip folders are pretty boring. You have to open the Scrivener docs for the real juicy stuff)

I'll tag @sarahlizziewrites, @kahvilahuhut, and @sam-glade, plus anyone else who wants to join in!

The rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them & then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! tag as many people as you have wips.

Great plan Ethan!

[theonceandfuturequeenoftarts]

for the WIP game - fake dating...?

Thank you for the ask, mosiva~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I love the fake dating trope, so I wanted to try my hand at it.

I haven't figured out the framing exactly (beginnings are usually difficult for me, I need to know where I have to drive the bus before I can get the start going), but Tom is having more trouble gathering power than he did. Maybe it's because Muggles are seen as less of a threat, maybe it's because he doesn't have the same killer instinct without WWII fuelling him to amass power and control, maybe the Purebloods are lazy and content rather than power-hungry bigots -- for whatever reason, Tom's been out of Hogwarts for a few years and things aren't going his way.

Harry has just gone through an extremely messy, public breakup, in which his ex splashed his private life, including sexual and emotional details, all over the Daily Prophet. He's got the double lordship thing in addition to being the Man Who Conquered, so everyone wants to know and has an opinion, and he's feeling hurt and betrayed and a little fragile, because he'd thought the ex really cared about him and not his hero persona.

He asks Tom if he'd be willing to "date" Harry in a mutually beneficial arrangement: Tom gets to use Harry's status and connections, potentially widen his circle of influence among the Lighter families that don't typically pay him much mind, and Harry gets to use him as a charming meat shield against the invasive press and general public.

(Tom Riddle has a bit of a reputation as... not exactly a gigolo, but he's not afraid to use his looks and charms to get what he wants and be on the arm of rich and powerful people at important events. That being said, Harry's on a different level of power and celebrity than the more traditionalist families with whom Tom holds court.)

Harry ends up becoming a bit of a sugar daddy (he doesn't see it that way, he just has money to get Tom things he wants, so why not?).

It's probably going to be pretty predictable, but instead of falling in love, the arrangement ends up suiting them both well and they just keep it going. Tom rejigs his plans to fit with what Harry will support, and Harry appreciates Tom's crueler side when it's directed against his opposition.

“Why me?” Tom asks. “Why you? Haven’t you been listening–” “You’ve laid out why I should want this; why do you?” Harry’s eyes shy away from Tom’s, drifting off to the side. Well, this should be good. “You had– have, a reputation,” Harry starts haltingly. “For, uh, satisfied… partners.” “You’re allowed to say it, Potter: I’m good in the sack,” he says, smirking. Harry throws his hands up, landing his elbows on the table and his face in his hands. Unluckily for him, his flush is still visible through his fingers. “Flattery aside, I’m unsure why that would matter in this situation,” Tom adds. “Unless you were hoping for some first-hand experience–” “No! No, that’s not it.” The other man shifts uncomfortably. “It’s just… I figured if people are going to obsess over and make assumptions about my sex life anyway, they may as well assume I’m having good sex,” he mutters. Tom puts a pin in that admission. So, Harry’s first foray into the joys of sex was less than enjoyable, hmm?

... all the WIPs? Okay I'm making an executive decision to make it all the somewhat active WIPs or we'll be here all day 😅 I feel like a fair number of these will actually be familiar to the people reading those fics, at least, 'cause I named the chapters/files sensibly for my own sanity.

Okay yeah I'm stopping before this gets ridiculous and I end up not remembering which files to look in if people ask 🤣 I have... too many WIPs, this is likely not even half, but it's (most of) the ones I've had a serious poke at in '24. Eep.

I'm terrible at remembering URLs 😬 so this will be a little random; if you're like "aww hell no" then feel free to ignore 😂 but also if you're like "but why didn't floot tag me" then please consider this tagging you, yes you personally, I'm preemptively tagging you 😘

Ben has kind of been having the worst day of his life, what with the dying and all.

It’s a marked improvement when he’s tramping through the forests of Takodana and a familiar voice demands, “Would you believe me if I told you Palpatine was my grandfather?”

He turns around.

Stares.

Rey stands ten feet away, her blaster pointed at him, a challenge in her eyes.

“Would you believe me if I told you Han Solo was my father?” he says, answering the question with a question.

“Yes,” she says, lowering the blaster.

“Well, that answers that,” he replies, turning off his lightsaber.

The silence stretches on.

Takodana is unpleasantly hot.

Why did he ever think wearing all-black was a suitable fashion choice?

Rey falters, apparently not having planned what to say if she got this far. “I suppose this is where we save the galaxy.”

“I suppose so,” he agrees. “To Exogol, then?”

“Have you got the Wayfinder already?” she asks, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

“Picked it up on the way here.”

“Ah. That simplifies things.” She holsters her blaster and sets off at a brisk pace, adding as she brushes past him: “And try not to die this time. It was so inconvenient.”

“You died first,” he mutters.

If I can ask another… The Found Family Stays Together AU SNIPS and/or Union Leader outsider perspective fic? 💖

(For this)

Yeah, of course! (People can ask about as many as they'd like, haha.)

I know I've talked a little bit about it on here before, but The Found Family Stays together AU is basically just...an AU where the Union Leaders all end up staying together after the end of the world, haha. The idea is that they stay in the past and end up building Scala together...eventually. The "SNIPS" document is basically just where I've thrown stuff that I wanted to write, but wasn't necessarily in, like...chronological order. (Ex. there's some stuff from the earlier days, but there's also stuff from when they're adults.) It's mostly just a very self-indulgent thing, haha.

Anyway, excerpt below the cut!

EDIT: I...just realized you also asked about the Union Leader outsider perspective fic. So, uh...that'll also be under the cut, aha.

            “Do you ever feel like night and day are just social constructs?  Like—who decided what was morning and what was night?  It all just bleeds together, anyways.”             Lauriam groaned and rubbed his hands across his face.  “Ephemer, please.  It’s too early for this.”             “See, see, who says it’s early and not just really late?”  He was pretty sure he wasn’t making much sense—his mind felt fuzzy and his eyes heavy.             Lauriam shoved a mug across the table.             Ephemer started away from it, staring at it almost cross-eyed.  “Coffee?”             “Yes.  Please, just—if you’re going to be awake, please drink it.”             Ephemer gave him a tentative smile and sipped it.  His nose wrinkled at the taste.  “I don’t know why Brain likes this stuff,” he murmured, but took another sip.             “I’m guessing I’ll need one for him, too.”  Lauriam turned back to the coffee pot.  “That is what you were doing all night, right?  Trying to figure out how to get the Dandelions back?”

So the Union Leader outsider perspective fic is another one I'd really like to come back to and finish! Basically, it's another "all of the Union Leaders stay together after Daybreak Town falls," but with a slightly different twist to the AU. In this case, it's mostly told from the perspective of the person they come to for help, who has no idea what's going on. It's taken a backseat for a bit, but...hopefully one day.

Anyway, an excerpt:

            “My friends and I need a place to stay.”             The words came through the ringing in Tess’s ears.  She snapped back to the girl’s face.  Her expression was steely and resolute; it didn’t look quite right on a kid her age.  Then again, the bloodstains and magic didn’t seem right, either.             “It doesn’t have to be here,” the girl said quickly, as if that was the most concerning thing here.  “Just somewhere in town.  Somewhere that isn’t too expensive.”             “You don’t look like you have much on you,” Tess said, mouth running on autopilot, and she immediately wanted to kick herself for it.             The girl’s expression crumpled, then steeled again.  “No, but we can work if we need to.”             “With whatever magic did that, I’m guessing.”  She gestured helplessly at the clearly-healed wounds, but her mind was slowly catching up to what she was seeing, and she found herself sighing in defeat, running a hand over her face so she didn’t have to see the girl’s expression to that comment.  “I think you’d better come in for a bit.”

Thank you @xiaokuer-schmetterling for tagging me! Honestly, this was a wake-up call because I have way too many W.I.Ps, each with their heartbeats caught in limbo, waiting for me to let them bleed onto the page. They probably won’t – but one can dream. (I really need to learn how to drive responsibly, I keep on hitting plot bunnies. Those fuckers multiply fast. Thank god for Ellipsus, because I genuinely don’t know how much of my fics I’d be able to write down fast.)

bury me gentle in a garden of thorns

angel of death, how do you defend?

I asked for a fairy tale, you gave me life

even amongst the gods, you are the cruelest

Don’t Touch The Walls, They’ll Break

of lovelorn days in a world gone pale

where the hero’s heart lies bleeding

where we drown in dusk and dreams

the parts of me in muted grey

whatever homes are made of

and he whispers, and the house whispers back

we’re fated to unravel, love

For the WIP tag gameeee

I am most intrigued by: mmmm mind control mmmm

❤️

OKAY SO i have been threatening to chicken pot pie my 911 blorbos for So Long and last week i FINALLY DID IT

The context for this snipp is both buck&bobby are empaths (my fav au ever) but bobby got attacked by someone with apathy powers. They took his emotions sammie THEY TOOK THEMMM. And now bobby is no longer Bobby ☹️ he has been chicken pot pied and buck is there to reap the consequences

"What's wrong, kid?" Buck stares at his hands, slowly moving his fingers. Something about his powers, he was thinking about his powers. Are they broken? He looks back up at Bobby and suddenly his legs collapse under him, and he falls onto Bobby, Bobby's arms coming around him and holding him securely. He looks at Bobby, looks at his strangely robotic expression. It's wrong, something is wrong. Bobby isn't supposed to be expressionless. Bobby's eyebrows should be furrowed, his lip curled down in the corner the way it always does when Buck's done something reckless and he's scared for him. There's none of that now. Bobby just looks... Lifeless. Buck in fear, desperately grabs his hands again, making sure there's skin to skin contact. He pushes a bit of his worry through, not even bothering to hide it. He looks at Bobby's eyes and waits. And waits. And waits. Nothing's sent back. No reassurance, no warmth. Bobby's hands are cold. Buck yanks his hands out of Bobby's.
