Sorrow

N/A

Sick

Airports reminded her of college, of leaving Eldham for the first time, transitioning from clueless child into functional adult. She thought she’d done that already—and been proud of it—but here she was again. The sick deja vu of it all reached its peak once she was on the plane, trying to take up as little space as she could while she heavy-breathed into a bag. The plastic smelled like claustrophobia, like she herself was being packaged and sent back to the warehouse for re-purchase. 

Sock(ed) (from Emergence)

The blow caught her off guard. Her head swung sideways so hard she barely had time to process before her body hit the ground, and then another punch socked her solidly in the gut. All of Lucie’s thoughts scattered, and she curled forward with a groan, immediately losing her lunch (and some blood). Her head spun as her arm shot back instinctively, trying to gain purchase, thinking damn it, too late, too late. Of course, now was the moment when she actually needed Quin’s fighting skills to back her up. He would know that she couldn’t expose herself, but it was too late for that too. 

Slice(s) (from unnamed Beauty and the Beast ace retelling)

“There’s only one of me,” the piece of magic said with a small laugh, but this time it was coming from a different direction. Iridi whirled back around and bit back a cry as a snake, this one as white as if it were scaled with slices of pearl, slid like some hallucination out of the wardrobe of dresses. It hovered in front of Iridi’s face, pink tongue quivering in the air, and then its face broke into a smile that sent a shiver down Iridi’s spine. 

Spread

When Belle walked in on Ruby hunched over the bathtub with the toiletries she’d been planning to pack spread out around her like war shrapnel, Ruby almost cried. She just barely scraped by with a dry face, but her expression contorted anyway. Belle seemed to almost regret what she was about to say, but she said it anyway. 

“Do you need me to grab those for you?”

“Yes,” Ruby seethed. 

Heart

A flutter of discomfort flashed across Mason’s face. He seemed to sense that there was some conversation going on below the surface that he couldn’t hear. His eyes darted between Ruby, her mother, and the white tile floor before returning to his food. Ruby noted that, while her dàn bǐng was still lightly steaming, his looked cold. Her heart twisted, and suddenly, she wanted to wrestle the conversation back. Save him. The childhood Mason had seen every conversation with an adult as an interrogation. His hands would be shaking under the table.

Pulse(d)

Then she dropped her head into her hands and focused on her breathing. Her forehead pulsed. A cloud of thick pressure drifted like heavy fog between her eyes, lingering at her left eyebrow, before it slowly began to make its way over to her other eyebrow. Ruby squeezed her eyes shut, trying to think. The whole process was a bit like trying to have a conversation with someone through several layers of gauze.

Hair

“Understanding each other isn’t small,” Mason said with a frown. “That is the basis of friendship.”

“Well, yeah. On a bigger scale. But…like…” She paused, and then flipped onto her stomach, gazing at him. Her hair was mussed from where it had been mashed into the pillow. “Do you still like butternut squash?” 

Mason blinked, the question catching him off-guard. “Yeah. Don’t you?”

Sigh

“Urgh!” she huffed, slamming her fist into the half-moon rock in frustration. A flash of movement caused her to snap her head up—only to watch in bemusement as her distinctly purple ballpoint pen plopped into the creek with a small splash. She froze, stunned. Looked down at her empty hand. Let out a slow, exasperated sigh. Yes, this had to happen, right now.

Gasp(ed) (from Emergence)

“You’ll miss!! You’re bluffing! You couldn’t possibly—”

“I don’t miss,” Lucie said coldly, and brought her hands together. The white lines of the bond that she had just forged glowed as if from the inside and then shattered like glass. Each line aimed at the man’s heart and Lucie looked on, icy as ever. 

The man’s last words had been gasped out: “We could have...helped you. I could have helped you. You’ve always been like a daughter to me.”

HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I RECENTLY WATCHED 2009 COMEDY FILM "BUNNY AND THE BULL"

[z0mibite]

Little TCM(TB) WIP I wanted to run by yall. If I made this a mini series, would you guys be interested?

You sat silently as your friends cried beside you at the dinner table. Your eyes were wide and unblinking, your open mouthed breathing was shaky and uneven, your entire body shook as you stared at the stew in front of you. It looked like any other stew, smelled like it as well, it would have made your stomach growl and mouth salivate if you weren't dreadfully aware that there was human flesh in it. You hadn't known Karina well, she was a friend of a friend, in fact, you'd only met her a few days ago when your mutual friend, Tasha, had invited you both on a road trip before you went your separate ways for college.

You and Tasha had been close since before elementary school, your father's being close being a natural branch for you two to become each other's ‘sister from another mister’. You were both violently different, but it seemed opposites attract was more true than you originally thought. Tasha was always a social butterfly, honor roll, swim champion, volunteer work, the perfect student. You, on the other hand, always found it difficult to fit in. You were terribly anxious when it came to social interaction, and only ever truly exceeded in topics you found intriguing, which wasn't often as public school didn't often let you have a creative outlet.

You weren't failing by any means, but in comparison you Tasha? Her 4.0+ GPA showed her natural prowess, while you got mainly C's and B's in anything other than Animal and Environmental Science. You hadn't gone to a single school dance until she forced you to at least attend your senior prom with her, which, not to your surprise, led to her being dragged off by various friend groups, from the stereotypical geeks to the stereotypical jocks. She got along with everyone, whereas you felt too weird for the popular kids and too normal for the weird kids.

But none of that mattered, not now. Not when Tasha was sobbing violently, her normally conventionally attractive face dampened by a waterfall of snot, tears and blood. Her dark brown skin hid the majority of the purple discoloration around her eye, but the swelling made her injury obvious. Her boyfriend, Randy, didn't look much better. His face was bright red, his nose and eyes especially. His teeth were clenched so hard you were sure they'd break as he spit insults at the Sheriff.

Sabrina and Nicole, both friends of Tasha and Karina, were equally distraught. Nicole was a bit worse for wear than Sabrina though, the Sheriff had taken a particular liking to her, which wasn't a good thing. And you only could only guess where Jackson, Randy's brother, was. You had heard him screaming not long ago, too soon for him to join Karina in the pot on the stove, but you hadn't seen him since you saw him run straight into a bear trap, taking his ankle clean off.

Find the Word Tag Game

Tagged by: @zmwrites over here My Words: smudge, step, small, soap, and shine Tagging: @kaiusvnoir, @writer-on-time, @writeouswriter, @waysofink, @asomeoneperson, & anyone else who would like to join! (As always, please don't feel pressured or rushed!) Your Words: Chase, Center, Cheek, Cute, & Cup cw: Gun mention, language, body horror(?)

Smudge Smeared

Scooting to the window, Garnet propped himself in the corner, heavy eyes surveying the diner, face smeared in glitter, powder paint, and TLN. He was tired. But this fatigue looked different than sleepless nights. It was a soft tired, a content tired, slumped and soft as if he didn’t even have the energy to hold up his walls. “You boys doin’ alright?” A twanging voice interrupted his thoughts, almost sure he saw Garnet flinch. A woman stood at the end of their table, wearing an apron over her diner uniform. She was carrying used plates, smiling through wrinkles.

Step

Movement in the door caught their attention, finding the Beau imitation riddled with gashes and scrapes. There was damage to his face, segments of plating along his jaw and temple dented or missing, leaving areas of his frame visible. “I thought I already dealt with you.” Garnet stabbed a finger at him, starting to step towards them only for Beau to grab him by the belt. Yanking Garnet behind him, he tore the pistol from its drop ring to aim. “Enough!” Duras barked and Beau went instantly still, gun raised, finger around the trigger, but he didn’t pull.

Small

“Wh-what… fuck… whatthefuckisthat?!” Garnet stammered, wide eyes fixed over Ryker’s head. He turned, light flashing over muck-crusted walls before landing on a towering, hunched figure in the distance. Its body caught light, inorganic and matte, limbs gangly for its almost human-like stature. Massive shoulders with a torso largely out of proportion to its hips and legs. Angular, a number of cords hung from its limbs, faceless with a flat, diamond-shaped head. “Hadrian, what is that…?” Garnet’s anger dwindled, sounding broken and small as if he were suddenly a ten-year-old boy.

Soap(y)

With his face tipped back, Garnet dampened the washcloth, carefully testing a small section of Beau’s face. “Gonna get this TLN off you,” he muttered, but Beau didn’t flinch when he was touched. Cradling the back of his head with one hand, he gently thumbed the cloth over Beau’s cheeks, along the bridge of his nose, around his eyes, clearing the TLN away. He traced the facet lines, not wanting to spill soapy water between them, but needing to clear away any grit. Beau was limp in his hold, jaw moveable as the washcloth wiped at his lips. “You aren’t hibernating or whatever, are you?” “No,” Beau’s eyes shuttered open, uncoordinated like an old baby doll’s. “Just checking. I’m not picking you up out of here.” “It’s really nice,” Beau admitted, closing his eyes again. “Do people sleep in the bath?” “If they wanna drown, they do.”

Shine

The beast tore itself free from Ives, backhanding him into a shallow wake-making slide down the tunnel. Ryker’s light caught the shine of faded stenciling across its back. ALPHA-1 “It’s a… It’s an A.I.“ Ryker lost air on the words, fumbling for understanding as it turned back for him. It was an A.I., capable of manipulating magnetic fields in order to attract the nanites in TLN. Like moths to a flame. A massive, bloodthirsty flame.

1, 14, 21 and 25 :D

Thank you friend! <333

1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?

Uhh,,, probably Moth Wings because what can I do with two characters and so much angst it's hard to even think about the damn story without getting exhausted (I love it very much though) and Enigmatic Epiphanies because no cool complex crimes have come to me in my dreams unfortunately. Also I was holding off These Are Miracles up until today! And wrote a scene in which we see Louis at his most unhinged moments hehe (and holy shote how proud I am of the scene-)

14) do you make playlists for your current wips?

I Literally Cannot Be Bothered. Wicked Game on repeat for hours is good enough for me, you see (because of course all I write is sappy Halbhor and Cynthirine crap and what else do I need for that)

21) what do you think when you read over your older work?

Nothing. Because in this house we pretend older work Does Not Exist, therefore we also do not read it.

(I just cringe. I mean it means I'm getting better ofc. But yeah. I have only one old story I'm still proud of lol)

25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of

Apparently finding something decent would require me to get up, which is an act I am not willing to commit, so have the Louis Being Unhinged thing:

Louis did not, in fact, expect it to go this far, and would have been disgusted with himself for it; only the fire was all too beautiful, and he stood on the cliff watching it rather than trying to undo it.

Why would they want to undo it, anyway? Flames attempting to touch the sky and set the seafoam ablaze in a contrast of oranges and blues, wood breaking like quills and promises under a blanked of inferno, sails that once gave flight to the wanderlust tearing like wings, people scrambling down bellow like disturbed ants – it was more a painting than a catastrophe, really.

And they could make art out of it! Could others not see that? They saw the waves and the smoke and the motion as brush strokes already, a fiery portrait forming on the tip of their eye the way a poem would on the tip of another's tongue.

(apologies to the people who already saw this on the Last line tag post)

The Bright Sessions fic recommendations

I haven’t seen one of these in a while, so we’re partying like it’s 2017 and making a fic rec list!

I wish this could be as comprehensive as I want it to be, but the fic writers in this fandom are on another level, and unless I want this to turn into an AO3 feed, I can’t list all the good ones. But here’s a representative sample:

Shipping

Better Forms of Communication  (T, no word count because it’s a text fic formatted as graphics) Caleb and Adam texting each other and their friends as they circle each other and (slowly!) get around to getting together. 

Light My Heart and Light My Shadow (M, 2K) An alternate version of Caleb and Adam’s laundry room scene from College Tapes #shameless self promo

Anchored And Flying (T, 3K) Adam’s radio show at Yale — featuring Twitter, medical kink jokes, “What’s New Pussycat”, and helping resolve some adorable gay pining

The Ultimate Double Dare (T, 20K, WIP but only technically, the two chapters that are written stand on their own) Caleb and Adam get secretly married before college for the financial aid. Caleb is The Absolute Worst at keeping secrets. Hijinks ensue.

Chamomile Tea (T, 3K) Some cute post-College Tapes hurt/comfort, and some Caitlin-Adam friendship (I am weak for those two)

Caleb Michaels Has A Lot Of Feelings (About Adam Hayes) And Sex (With Adam Hayes) (E, 10K) Caleb and Adam exploring empathy and sex. This has the distinction of being the first ever explicit Caleb/Adam fic. Vivacious_turpitude walked so that the rest of us could run.

an antisocial pessimist, but usually I don’t mess with this (T, 2K) Caleb’s football team gives Adam a shovel talk and tries to explain what a first down is

Nobody Said It Was Easy (Oh, Take Me Back To The Start) (T, 15K) Jewish Oliver, Mark taking a path that isn’t true to himself and then finding joy anyway, Tier 5, this one’s got it all

I’ve Got The Feeling You’re The Right Thing After All (T, 30K) Sometimes you want a fluffy getting-together fic about two clueless idiots in love, and these two are adorably clueless

Have I Ever Told You How Good It Feels To Hold You? (T, 2K) “Oh my god there was only one bed” is out, “there were two beds but we chose to sleep in one” is in

Barnacle Tales (six-work series, 17K total - the first work is M, the rest are T) Some more fluffy getting-together fic about two clueless idiots in love

perfect for you (G, 1K) A sweet little Brytz proposal

without you, I’ll never be home (T, 4K) Oliver and Mark moving in together in slow motion. In my advanced age of 38, I am a sucker for people taking their time in relationships and deciding which steps of the relationship escalator to take and when.

Something Dumb To Do (T, 7K) Mark and Oliver fake-propose to each other for the free desserts and fall in love. (This is also shameless self-promotion.)

my power was constricted in my heart (M, 137K) A royalty AU where Prince Mark Bryant and his manservant Oliver Ritz get kidnapped, then kidnapped again, then kidnapped a third time, and find home somewhere along the way. Every single TBS character, large and small, makes an appearance at some point. This is one of those fics that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until it’s 4 AM, your phone’s battery is at 1%, and you’ve been emotionally destroyed at least three times. (Full disclosure, this is a WIP, but I have it on good authority that it hasn’t been abandoned.)

Vienna Waits For You (G, 14K) Brightgreen coffee shop AU, cute as fuck and the found family that Joan and Owen deserve

Take Anything You Need (M, 4K) Mark/Damien, dealing with an alpha rut during the road trip. I think this might be the only (at the time of this writing) A/B/O TBS fic? And it works. It’s sweet, it’s hot, it’s a version of Damien I wish was canon.

I Like My Body When It’s With Your Body (E, 28K) Mark/Damien nonsexual D/s — also sweet, also hot, also a version of Damien that I wish was canon, one that isn’t consumed by fear of not being in control every second of every day

ain’t gonna run from the wind and the thunder, when we’re dancing under the rain (T, 4K) Mark/Javier. The other Tier 5 survivors are fascinating to me, and I love the chance to explore Javier. And we get to give Mark a cute boyfriend, that’s always fun

I haven’t touched a pretty thing in forty days (T, 5K) Joan and Beck talk about trauma, loneliness, and moving forward. In a strip club. As one does.

and the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me (E, <1K) Ben and Frankie having some fun, and we love to see it

Gen

the flame is gone (the fire remains) (T, 4K) Alternate ending for College Tapes. The grief is visceral, the narration is nonlinear, and the ending is beautifully tragic

on being raised on fairy tales in which you are the monster (T, 2K) Villain origin stories are fascinating to me, and TBS does tragic villains like no one else

All I’ve Ever Known Is How To Hold My Own (G, 3K) Parallels between Joan/Mark as kids and Joan/Sam as adults; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wish you could punch Papa Bryant in his stupid face

A Secret I Never Wanted To Tell (G, 10K) Vanessa Turner sells Mark out to the AM. Joan finds out. Fireworks ensue

I’m somebody desperate, I don’t know what to do (T, 3K) Damien’s bi awakening, which of course becomes delicious angst because Damien is an angsty, touch-starved motherfucker

i want to feel all the ache I can feel (T, 5K) Canon divergence where Adam gets the Pokemon evolution, and an exploration of trauma as it affects atypical ability and expression

A Regular Decorated Emergency (G, 1K) The story of Caleb’s quidditch quadball injury, and all the brotherly Caleb-Mark interaction that we were robbed of in College Tapes

to say that I’m a rainbow and tell me that I’m bright (G, 9K) Sam, Mags, Mark, and Oliver going to Pride. It’s been over a year and the line “These are my flags. That’s me.” makes me cry to this day

You got troubles, I got ‘em too (G, 1K) Sam and Joan taking a moment to breathe and grieve at the AM

I got it all (but I don’t ever wanna grow up) (T, 5K) You know how College Tapes never actually addressed Caleb’s quarter-life crisis? Here’s a fix-it fic for that, along with more Caleb-Mark brotherly friendship

Atypical Revolutions (because if you leave TBS fans alone for five minutes, we come up with ways to make atypicals go public and get justice)

Your Enemy Whispers So You Have To Scream (T, 240K) Mark and other Tier 5 survivors go public after someone leaks evidence of the AM and Tier 5 to the general public. Oliver spends the next year failing spectacularly to avoid being drawn into the growing tension between atypicals, the government, and non-atypicals. This is the last bit of shameless self-promotion.

TPWKY Episode 222: DNA Meth(ylation) And Atypicality (G, 7K) A crossover between This Podcast Will Kill You and TBS, this assumes that atypicals have been forced to go public, and goes deep on the social and scientific ramifications. Mark ends up the public face of atypicality. This fic was a lot of the inspiration for Your Enemy Whispers.

Bryant vs. United States, Decision, Communication No. 947/2027 (M, 2K) Exactly what it sounds like — Mark goes public and sues the AM. The formatting for Your Enemy Whispers owes a lot to Bryant vs. United States (as does a certain UN resolution). I really, really hope it gets finished, because you know how you read a fic, or even just hear it described, and it keeps you up until two in the morning crying because it’s just that good and tragic? That was me when the authors dropped their plan for this fic’s endgame.

gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie (M, 37K) Oliver accidentally-on-purpose lets his family think that he’s dating Mark, on the same weekend that files go missing from the AM. Come for the fake dating, stay for the atypical revolution. (Fair warning, it is a WIP, but it’s not abandoned)

These will include background stories for existing couples (like the uncles from The Long Road) or soon to be couples (hehehe you'll see). These will most likely be sfw fluffy feel good dorky stories because that's what I have planned. There might be a couple spicy ones but no idea which couple plans on taking that role.

doing a mix of wips this time lol. most of these apart from tea cow are a little old but its fine lmao. just FYI one of these is quite gory so proceed with caution

Click (WIP: Unnamed Beauty and the Beast Ace Retelling)

The door shut with a light click and another whiff of lilies. Iridi’s bracelets clinked against the stone as her hand flinched back, afraid to get caught. She stood there for a moment, listening to her heart pounding in her ears, knowing that soon she would have to turn around. She wanted nothing less. If she closed her eyes, maybe she would open them and find herself sitting at her Porcelain Ragdoll’s booth. Maybe she’d just dozed off, and—

Someone cleared their throat behind her.

Crumb(s) (WIP: Emergence) TW for body horror

Another flick of her finger, and Maer Tav’s statue remains cracked cleanly in half. His writhing insides continued to solidify until even his blood, as it oozed out of his soon-to-be carcass, eventually froze into clean, glistening marble. 

Barely seconds later, the time bubble popped. Mabs crumpled into Haiek’s waiting arms. Haiek himself stared in brief confusion as the halves of Maer Tav’s body hit the ground one after the other, rocking slightly from the impact. Shaved organs, white and curled, surrounded the body like bread crumbs. Haiek then looked at Lucie with new eyes, and a grim understanding slowly dawned on him: Celina had given Lucie her freedom back, and with it Lucie had killed. Easily.

Cave(d) (WIP: The Composition of Us)

“I’m retiring,” his father corrected him. “The date isn’t certain yet, but it’ll be soon. My seventieth is coming up, son. It’s about time.”

Reality caved in on Mason, and he sank lower in his seat. “Dad, you can’t leave yet.” His voice dropped. “I’m not the right fit. I still need your direction.”

“How long has it been since you checked that table I gave you?”

Curious (WIP: Unnamed Beauty and the Beast Ace Retelling)

Iridi squinted at the goddess, whose face remained innocently curious and even somewhat amused. Finally, she shook her head, realizing that Essa was asking in sincerity. “Atalo is not exactly...uh...present in Atalona anymore.”

“Of course he’s present. What do you mean, child? Where could he have gone?”

“He hasn’t gone anywhere. I didn’t mean that he left. He’s just...out of commission.”

Circle (WIP: Emergence)

“Oi, bikke! Were you trained in a klalval schoolyard?”

That was the man in the shawl, who the circle of equally large men around him called Ivargh, at least based on their loud chants. One of them rubbed his knuckles and Lucie’s breath went shallow, her vision almost going fully white. Fuck the punishment. Fuck it. She would take this man out in an instant, and then...where would she go? Back to the Society, where she would continue to wallow in her own misery? Back to the Society, where Quin would laugh at her for over exaggerating, and the Council would scrutinize her for turning back on her word? No, that wasn’t an option. She wouldn’t spend her life letting herself drown in blame. She was bigger than that. 

Scarlet (WIP: Emergence)

Lucie frowned. The Scarlet Plains were one of the most barren worlds in its dimension. The planet didn’t have water at all, and was only surviving because its elite shuttled in water from two hard-won, expensive portals at each of its furthest points. Every few days, the entire place was ravaged by hot and humid storms that overheated most of the planet’s life. It was just Lucie’s luck that the Ferre Magna were here, where if she lost their protection she was guaranteed instant death. 

Daylight (WIP: The Composition of Us)

Now, she set an alarm for 7:45 so she would wake up long before him. She’d never minded waking up early. She used to wake up at the crack of dawn for her commute to downtown Cardinal City, at least before the dizziness trapped her in her apartment. Once she shook the grogginess out of her system, mornings were often her favorite part of the day. It meant the peace and quiet of nighttime without the darkness. She liked to think daylight—even the blue-tinted rainy days that were so common in Washington—gave her purpose.

Twist (WIP: Unnamed Beauty and the Beast Ace Retelling)

For a moment, Iridi thought that Ell had just walked much faster than she had anticipated (he was, after all, some sort of spirit), but he was still halfway through the field, trampling flowers like a man on a mission. He seemed to dislike walking too close to her, which might have been a good thing if he really was a murderer. But then again, he might not have been, and Iridi felt a weird twist in her chest at the idea of being hated by a ghost she’d just met. She was generally beautiful enough that courtesy was a given, but here….Ell didn’t seem the least bit flattered by her attention. 

Hope (WIP: Emergence)

Eventually, both of the wielders would probably die. Not even the permanent lock was quite immune from that fate; the books said the chances of fatal soul search wear were about 80/20%. Lucie had asked Quin about it once, with the small hope that he would respond seriously. He didn’t, of course. 

“If you’d marry me, we could deal with the matter together,” he’d told her while pouting, turning over on the couch so that he could face her upside down. “Is it because of my bad looks?”

Until (WIP: Homebodies)

Yuliah still can’t speak or scream or even laugh hysterically like she wants to. Spoiled brat?? If she was a spoiled brat, why would she have gone through all this effort for 2000 years? If she was a spoiled brat, she’d already be a god! She wheezes, coughs, and then finally, resorts to spitting in the masked boy’s face. The spittle splatters against its white surface and then drips down in slow motion until it streaks, wet and sticky, down his neck. The boy is so shocked that he releases her momentarily, the blackness hurtling from her chest back into his hand, and she scrambles across the floor into the corner of the room as fast as she can. 

[petrodragonicapocalypse]

ooh im on some kinda bullshit

[blackidyll]

It's been a long while since I've been on Tumblr, but here I am, trying to get back into my usual rhythm of life. Mainly: I'm alive, but I'm really, really tired.

The end of 2019/beginning of 2020 has been really insane. I fell sick for most of December - the whole cough/cold/sore throat trifecta that got so bad I finally ended up on antibiotics on New Year's Eve. I actually took two weeks of leave in December, but I was so sick and busy during this time that I basically got no rest whatsoever, and when I got back to work in January it was to drop straight into an absolute tsunami of work - one huge project ended the day before Chinese New Year, and immediately after CNY holidays I had another huge executive event to prepare for (I was working over weekends), and when that ended last week I got YET ANOTHER project dumped on me. Covid19 and the political situation in my home country is also taking its toll. I feel like the past two months has been an absolute blur - mostly of stress and negativity.

I'm so tired, you all.

Anyway, I'm trying hard now to pull back and strike a balance between work and having down proper time. I owe quite a few of you replies to messages and chats, and TBH there's like 60+ comments in my AO3 inbox that I haven't had a chance to respond to. I'm going to try hard over the next few weeks to get to all of them. I really appreciate every message and comment I get, because they constantly remind me there's still people and the entire world out there, when sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in my head with all my stresses and worries and the day-to-day grind.

I'm going to go throw a bunch of things in my queue to get this place kickstarted again, but in the meantime - have some fic recs. I've been reading a lot of fic to keep afloat the past three months; these are the WIPs I'm following at the moment. I'm completely out of creativity so my own fics will have to wait, but it always gives me a boost when I see some love for my WIPs, so if any of these appeal to you, give them a read and drop some love to those authors too.

The Bureau Files series by Catsafari [The Cat Returns, episodic/case style canon-based sequel; Baron/Haru]

i kill giants by diasterisms [Star Wars new trilogy; canon-based sequel to The Rise of Skywalker; Rey/Ben]

Ragnarǫkr, Part 3 of the Sharingan Rising series by weialala [Naruto; canon-divergence with supernatural elements; Sasuke-centric, technically Sasuke/Naruto but is more Sasuke's relations with everyone]

Peripeteia, Part 4 of the Carry Your Heart verse by mondaze [Shingeki no Kyojin; canon-based A/B/O verse, eventually diverges at the retake Shinganshina arc because Erwin lives (\o/); Erwin/Levi]

Just Another Day by Tierfal [Fullmetal Alchemist; post-manga series, Roy has severe PTSD; pre-relationship Roy/Ed]

try something new by gdgdbaby [Nezha (2019); post-movie oneshot where the two have grown up and gotten their bodies back; Nezha/Aobing]

WIPs that haven't been updated recently but since I'm on a roll, you all should read them:

Nukume Dori by Leareth [Tokyo Babylon, X/1999; canon-divergence, kind-of time travel with X!Subaru falling back into the TB!timeline with all his memories intact; Subaru/Seishirou, a lot of trio interactions with Hokuto] 

boy with a coin, Part 5 of the signal to noise series by twigcollins [The World Ends With You; post-game sequels exploring the consequences of Neku winning the long game and Joshua deciding to bring him back to life; Joshua/Neku]

(more info and my comments on each fic under the cut, because they get long)

The Bureau Files series by Catsafari [The Cat Returns, episodic/case style canon-based sequel; Baron/Haru]

I've been (re)watching Studio Ghibli movies on the weekends and I fell completely in love with The Cat Returns (I love Whisper of the Heart but I missed this movie somehow?). This wonderful sequel fic series focuses on an adult Haru that becomes a full-fledge member of the Cat Bureau and goes on plenty of adventures with the Bureau crew. It's also 500K words (!!!) of delicious slow slow slow SLOW burn between Baron and Haru. I just found out the author will be posting the next installation in the series this month, so you know. Perfect time to read the existing content and then follow the author's weekly updates for more of this amazing series.

i kill giants by diasterisms [Star Wars new trilogy; canon-based sequel to The Rise of Skywalker; Rey/Ben]

Yes, I'm a Reylo fan. I find the grey dynamics between Rey and a vaguely redeemed Ben Solo fascinating. I think it's because I was such a huge Luke and Mara Jade shipper from the Legends days. Anyway, I'd recommend pretty much all of diasterisms's Reylo fics (they nail the characterization + growth arcs incredibly) but this WIP in particular is a direct TROS sequel, which is great for all us fans who were very WTF about the way TROS ended. Also - lots of Force ghosts :D

Ragnarǫkr, Part 2 of the Sharingan Rising series by weialala [Naruto; canon-divergence with supernatural elements; Sasuke-centric, technically Sasuke/Naruto but is more Sasuke's relations with everyone]

I think my bookmark gushes enough about this series (and the previous installment) that I don't need to rehash it here. But anyway, this sequel is flipping amazing. The world building is so incredible omg. The wait between chapters is very long but so very worth it.

Peripeteia, Part 4 of the Carry Your Heart verse by mondaze [Shingeki no Kyojin; canon-based A/B/O verse, eventually diverges at the retake Shinganshina arc because Erwin lives (\o/); Erwin/Levi]

I'm usually very, very particular about my A/B/O verses (the concept squicks me a little but some writers subvert the trope and those are amazing) and this is a really great take on the trope - Erwin and Levi bond first out of necessity and then have to rebuild/realize a romantic relationship out of it later; they're already such strong friends and incredible partners that the bond actually throws them out of whack initially lol. But the evolution of their relationship is so well written, and the sub-plot about Levi being targeted is also great. Anyway, in this particular sequel goes back to the canon-timeline; Erwin survives the Beast Titan charge, everyone finds out about Marley, and the Survey Corps goes on a mission to make contact with the outside world. I don't actually follow the manga but I know enough that this sequel is really intriguing me. Also, Erwin lives. Thank goodness Erwin lives.

Just Another Day by Tierfal [Fullmetal Alchemist; post-manga series, Roy has severe PTSD; pre-relationship Roy/Ed]

Everything Tierfal writes is golden, but this one. Oh man, this one. It gets dark, and sometimes that's bad if you're already stressed (your mood doesn't need more depressing things to drag it down) but sometimes... you also want to indulge in it, because when you see a character go through hard and traumatic times and make it out the other side, it gives you hope too, you know? Anyway, right now at chapter 2, it's all trauma and pain for Roy, so take caution while reading this fic, but......... Ed. Oh my goodness, Ed. He tries so hard. He doesn't give up. This fic reminds me a bit of But Not Buried This Time, where Ed is the one drowning in his guilt... I remember thinking while reading that fic, "goodness, everyone needs a Roy like this in their life." Well, for this fic? I just keep thinking, "goodness, everyone needs an Ed like this in their life."

try something new [Nezha (2019); post-movie oneshot where the two have grown up and gotten their bodies back; Nezha/Aobing]

not a WIP but what the hell. So this version of Nezha is hell of a lot different from the Nezha I remember of my childhood (in that....... Nezha 100% kills Aobing lol and I remember being very conflicted because I love dragons and Nezha kills a lot of them, but at the same time deity!Nezha is pretty badass?). So anyway, someone with creative control DEFINITELY has shipper glasses on when they made this movie, I cannot get over how adorable Nezha and Aobing are. I really enjoyed this movie, it was so over the top and funny. And they made Nezha and Aobing literal soulmates? This fic is cute and adorable because it's Nezha and Aobing traveling and helping the world after they grow up and regain their bodies, and it's just tons of adorable teenage(?) confusion where they're hovering on the edge of friendship and something more. THEY ARE SO ENDEARING I love them!!

Nukume Dori by Leareth [Tokyo Babylon, X/1999; canon-divergence, kind-of time travel with X!Subaru falling back into the TB!timeline with all his memories intact; Subaru/Seishirou, a lot of trio interactions with Hokuto]

Instead of dying on the Promised Day, 25-year-old Dragon of Heaven Subaru wakes up in his 16-year-old body during the Tokyo Babylon timeline. Having seen what the future holds, he decides to continue with his original Bet with Seishirou - this time fighting to win. In the latest installment, we go pass the TB timeline into the years before 1999 and the changes that the divergence makes is just absolutely fascinating, plus we start seeing more of the X/1999 cast, whom I love and adore.

boy with a coin, Part 5 of the signal to noise series by twigcollins [The World Ends With You; post-game sequels exploring the consequences of Neku winning the long game and Joshua deciding to bring him back to life; Joshua/Neku]

I love Joshua so so much but he digs his own bed willingly and he lies in it with all the broken pride he can muster. He's very much the master of forfeiting the game before he can lose, except this time it's Neku standing beside him, and Neku is very, very stubborn. Trust your bloody partner, Joshua (I say, with all the love in my heart for this Joshua and this poor beleaguered but incredibly stubborn Neku and the all the game mechanics and worldbuilding in this series). Also, the latest cliffhanger is killing me but I'm ready to see Joshua go absolutely feral on anyone who would dare touch his city and his partner.

> Knighthood (Kenshin x reader, songfic)

> Winking (Masamune x Reader)

> Nicknames (Mitsuhide x MC/Reader)

> To you, My Love (???x MC/Reader) (Character tb decided... Maybe Mitsuhide?)

> Day at the Aquarium (Ikesen Headcannons... Idk why, but this has been a WIP since I made this account... -_-’’)

> You and I (And Nobody Else) (Arthur Conan Doyle x MC/Reader) (WIP for no reason whatsoever....)

B. Phrases Series:

Note: ‘Of Tricks and Treats’ has been released as a halloween special ^-^.

Or C. A Long Various x Reader Fic: Lucky (title TB changed)

Note: I have the first chapter of this written, and it’s almost ready for posting! Oops. Storyline will be randomised... considering the routes I’ve played... (Hideyoshi, Nobunaga, Shingen, Kenshin and now, Masamune)

[gremlinquisitor]

Author questions meme

Author Name: suchanadorer, gremlinquisitor

Fandoms You Write For: Dragon Age 2 and DAI, occasionally other fandoms like Boku No Hero Academia, if the mood strikes

Where You Post: AO3 and tumblr

Most Popular One-Shot: As suchanadorer, it’s Minsk, a one-shot for an offshoot of Sherlock fandom. As gremlinquisitor, it’s Wet Dream, bc smut.

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: suchanadorer: I Would Be The One, a Supernatural Beauty and the Beast AU. gremlinquisitor: To Hold the Hands I Love, in which Cullen and Dorian visit Cullen’s family for Christmas.

Favorite Story You Wrote: Recreate His Worldly Glory, the SebHawke WIP I have right now. I love it so much, I’m so proud of so much of it and so many things about it.

Story You Were Nervous to Post: Also Recreate His Worldly Glory; I’m worried I’ve overhyped it. If we’re talking fics already posted, I think I’d say What He Likes, since it’s het and with a character that the fandom isn’t super wild about.

How Do You Choose Your Titles: Song titles or lyrics, lines from the fic or something from canon. I am terrible at titles. 

Do You Outline: I don’t think I do, except for Recreate His Worldly Glory, where I had to because it grew out of my control. Outlines otherwise might be the most basic mental skeleton about how I want a fic to start, what I want to happen, how it ends.

Complete: Everything? I have one series that I thought would include more fics, but the fics within the series are complete.

In-Progress: None at the moment, at least when it comes to posting on AO3.

Coming Soon:  Recreate His Worldly Glory, coming as soon as possible.

The Lion of Caer Bronach, a Cullen/Sebastian B&tB retelling, because I am nothing if not predictable and that’s just on brand for me

The Tale of Neriah and Corin, for @inpeacevigilancezine

Do You Accept Prompts: I do, but I’m quite unreliable when it comes to filling them. I tend to take my time. (Keeping this because it’s just that true.)

Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: The Lion of Caer Bronach, or the unnamed SebHawke pirate AU I have no plot for, or Leather Jacket, the tentatively-titled gritty neon-and-steel DA2 modern AU that I also have no plot for but would love to figure out a plot for other than “Sebastian watching Hawke pray but not in a creepy way, and supporting her in her vigilante endeavors and also he loves her”

I’ll tag: @sulevinblade @hollyand-writes @lucyrne @luciferesque @lauraemoriarty @barbex @natsora @saltlordofold @theherocomplex @aban-asaara @thejeeperswife @gothkimmyschmidt @joufancyhuh @dickeybbqpit

Musings... Episode 1 (We're Back!)

Duo: Yo, whatever happened to TB lately?

Trowa: She needs to seek medical attention soon.

((The others nod in agreement))

Duo: Why? I hope you're not responsible for any jacked up sh-

Trowa: It's not that serious. She's just a little burnt out.

Quatre: Actually, she's clearing out her Drafts page, just in case her blog gets caught in the crossfire.

Wufei: She did some research on Autism, revisited a group-based Marvel story, got interrupted and cussed out, burnt out again, woke up at three in the AM, sought more prompts and hidden WIPs, added more to the folder, there's a split of Gundam Wing and Black Panther, with a dash of Puran High School OST Club, The Simpsons, Lord of the Flies, all of which may be abandoned, and-

Duo: WUFEI! Calm down, man.

Quatre: I thought it was Ouran HIgh School Host Club.

Duo & Trowa: It is.

Heero: She wrote whatever she could. Knocked out at five in the AM, awoke at 8, ran some errands, went to work, felt bored, so she did something with T'Challa and the others.

Duo: (rolls eyes) What's up with you and Wufei, lately? Y'all are overdoing it - details and all.

Quatre: Relax, Duo. She's home now. She'll be able to write-

Trowa: If, and only if, her fams don't attack her mind. Don't forget that Marvel Discord interruption. Her inspiration died quick.

Duo: 😐😑

Quatre: 🤨🤔

Wufei: I've already explained that part. Some people just hate fandom so much.

Heero: Because everyone grows up. Yet, being grown equates to living with President #45, being forced to stay indoors due to early sunsets, too many predators out there, working harder than others, and...

Duo: Everyone, please shut up! We need a different discussion. Not some stinkin' discourse about how hopeless adulthood can be. Please, give that depressive shit a break.

Quatre: DUO!

Duo: What?

Quatre: Stop cussing for once!

Trowa: He only did it once.

Heero: Yeah, it's not his fault.

Wufei: Okay, let's shut it. She needs to eat and claim her laptop while it's available.

Trowa: Is adulthood really that complicated?

Heero: Ask Sally, Une, Noin and Zechs. They get it. In a few years, it'll be our turn.

Trowa: (rolls eyes) Thanks a lot. That reminder was uncalled for. *Walks away*

Duo: What the heck? Okay, current time is seven twenty-something. If she can get as much done prior to 9pm, great! Otherwise, it's a failed mission.

Heero: Adults don't have lives, Duo.

Duo: But, ProWritingAid and that other stuff...

Heero: She has no life. She's constantly fitting in. That's why nothing is getting done. That's why she's practically burnt out. Always having to choose between treating herself, or calming herself down, versus pleasing a family or others from circles whose lives aren't any better. Not knocking anyone, but facts are facts.

Duo: That's IT! I'M THROUGH WITH THIS CONVERSATION! PILOTS SIGNING OUT! *Glares at the others* Stop turning everything depressing.

Quatre: Writing is an outlet, Duo.

Duo: I always knew that. Just, stop overdoing that dark motif. Seriously.

Wufei: This confirms that she has Angst Bunny Syndrome. *Flips clipboard pages*

Heero: That escalated quickly.

Trowa: You started it, Heero!

Heero: *shrugs* Just sticking to reliable facts. Adulthood sucks for creative minds. You saw what happened to Tumblr's platform, right? Grown folks are not allowed to be grown on here, because of how irresponsibly late the staff was for cracking down on CP and MAPs. It is what it is. I'm surprised PORNBOTS still exist, though. No offense. Someone needs to hire capable staff - not to please Apple, but to make this site accessible for everyone, SafeSearch on or off. Of course, the SafeSearch button shouldn't exist for minor users. See? I came up with more solutions than they did.

Trowa, Wufei & Quatre: (Shares knowing glances and shrug)

Duo: Y'know what? You're right! Now the current time is seven forty-ish. Can everyone please say goodbye? Thanks and have a great night, or day, afternoon - wherever you are!

Quatre: B-
