#writing inspired by moments in life

Rereading "Ever Fixed Mark" yet again, and I have to hand it to you... I don't think anyone has EVER made me feel so invested in a relationship between Jess and Someone-who-is-Not-Rory! (Audra) This almost never happens! But somehow you managed to actually make me feel almost DEVASTATED when Rory called right at that moment? You handled it so beautifully and so perfectly, and it's SO tragic, and you made me really FEEL that! So, brava, my friend!

Probably because most fic writers don't really want second-love to be possible and real. Or haven't experienced it. That , if it's Lit-fic, none of us want there to be anyone else with whom Jess could experience true love. Maybe not. All of that is conjecture.

It also helps that the chapter unapologetically quotes one of my favorite speeches from one of my favorite books, and is a reflection of my own once-upon-a-time heartbreak and fear that I was doomed to be alone because I believed I only had half a heart, at best, left to give anyone. And, even when I fell in love again, that I would lose him because he would think my love for him was incomplete, being as my soul was steeped in the belief of love's immortality turned tragic when first love is lost. Having not yet learned the lesson that love that doesn't die really can transform into other kinds of love, when given enough time and healing.

Though it's definitely not my standard fare, I had to believe in Audra... to believe that happiness is possible, even when bittersweet.

by the time his eyes drift from the realm of ink and paper, the late afternoon sun has long seeped through kaleidoscope glass, dancing in threads of gold, as it weaves a crown of light and shadow atop her head. the air shimmers with hazy opalescence, and the beguiling tricks of his heart, echo the words penned by his late-grandmother, ‘may my child alhaitham lead a peaceful life.’ ….and he thinks this might be it. for love lies within the transience of time: in the fleeting daylight and the quiet solace, in the comfort found of a life unadorned. and so he makes a decision he dares not say aloud just yet, but a smile curves the corner of his lips, as he endeavors to imagine the tranquility of a life with her — forever.

People are not showing off. They are genuinely sharing happy moments and achievements. Maybe you are viewing from a jealous point of view.

thinking so hard about the very shitty au i wrote when i was on wattpad where Lucy (fairy tail) met the guild as a kid but they had their memories wiped at the end of it and didn't remember her, so when she finally meets natsu again SHE remembers them but they don't remember her. also she was their enemy when they first met and when she ran away from her father it was because he tried to create one of the time travel gates but he had to sacrifice a celestial wizard to even try and get it operating. i think she had two older siblings in this au too? anyway i never posted it but it was so incredibly long and I can't get into my wattpad account anymore so it's gone forever so i can't even reread it and laugh at how badly written it was

I hope I haven't already driven past my greatest moments. I hope there is something beautiful on the horizon that's just as impatient as I am. Something so eager, It wants to meet me halfway. Rudy Francisco, Helium

“There is a belief that if you witness the first snowfall with the person you like, true love will blossom between both and it will be long-lasting.”

——

Grian wakes up to a familiar sandstone ceiling. There’s an unfamiliar chill in the air and the slowly fading sound of his heart in his ears. By instinct out of some well-worn routine, he pulls himself out of bed to go to Scar and get ready for the day.

He finds him outside, smiling at him, and there’s a familiar tug in his chest that causes his steps to be a little lighter as he moves towards him, and a gentle smile floats up his face.

Until it starts snowing. 

Scar is awestruck catching the flakes in his hands. It shouldn’t be snowing in the desert.

Ah.

This is a dream then. 

——

Grian’s body lies cold some place far away underground.

for reasons that are very vague and unknowable to me, i'm suddenly having a whole lot of emotions about raise dead and all the people who interacted with it in such a kind and enthusiastic way. and idk man, writing that fic was extremely important in ways i didn't even realize at the time, but having others love it was healing in ways i never could have imagined. i will cherish it and everyone who was so nice and supportive of it when i was posting forever and ever and ever <3
