I wish you would write a fic where... Sentibug lives

Marinette has become a familiar presence in the mansion, Nathalie's glad of it for Adrien's sake even as she wonders how the girl can bear to be in the location of her final fight with Monarch.

But that's Marinette. And not, "Ladybug? Has something happened"

There’s no noise from outside the house except the normal life of a city. No screams or explosions suggest an akuma that would have the heroine of Paris standing in her bedroom.

"Not quite." Argos steps out from behind the superheroine. "Hello Aunt."

 "I'm not- you don't have to call me that." The boy enjoys needling her, setting her on edge with reminders about the truth he knows, but this particular avenue is a new one.

"Hmm. I suppose he was only my uncle by marriage which makes you....nothing to me."

She can feel a headache coming on, "If you're implying anything between me and Gabriel then-"

"Ladybug," Argos turns to the girl next to him, "tell Mayura who you are."

Marinette looks her straight in the eyes and says, "hello mother."

Nathalie looks between the two teenagers in confusion. There’s no reason for Marinette to call her that. None at all. The hairs at the back of her neck stand up, there’s not amusement on the faces on front of her.

They look serious.

She’s missing something.

"If this is a joke it isn't funny."

"Oh I'm very serious about the safety of my fellow creations of the peacock Miraculous." Argos says, "and my own of course. And who better to test my attempt to revive any senticreation than the girl you so cruelly struck down for defying.”

“What?”

 That isn’t possible, Nathalie’s never read of anything of it being possible to bring sentimonsters back. But…hadn’t she been the one to tell Gabriel the user sets the limits? With the free time and unbroken Miraculous to experiment who knows what Félix could do?

She looks at the girl again. She looks like Ladybug, not a hair or polka-dot out of place. But then her Ladybug, the one she’d created had looked like that too.

And it makes more sense than Marinette playing only with a joke of Félix’s like this. The girl hasn’t an atom of cruelty in her. Anger sure, resentment perhaps but not cruelty and she’d forgiven Nathalie far too easily anyway.

Argos nods, “Yes. She’s back even though you couldn’t accept her making her own decisions instead of following your commands.  A common theme amongst you people but I must say, who knew that out of you, my father, and my uncle you'd be the one to actually kill your child. My cousin would be so disappointed to know you know.”

Nathalie swallowed but it did nothing for the sudden bile in her throat. "She's not-"

Argos holds up his hand, and looked at the girl, "show her our latest trick."

The Ladybug-copy shuts her eyes, her face squeezed tight in concentration and grinds out, "spots off."

It looks like it's causing her pain and she wants to call out and tell her to stop but then red light encases her and leaves-

Not Marinette.

The girl somehow does resemble Ladybug somehow but every feature that isn't Marinette's in her face is Nathalie's. It's like looking at a picture of her teenage self with a Ladybug-filter overlaid on it. Her hair is even tied back in a single plait like Nathalie had worn her own at that age.

"I guess your mind just filled up what it didn't know with what it did.” Argos says, “Convenient though."

"I- I never thought of her without the mask." She blurts it unthinkingly, and wants to slap herself for it.

She needs to get a better hold on her emotions right now. Félix has no reason to think kindly of her, and the girl has every reason to hate her. She needs to focus and act logically instead of letting the gravity of her guilt pull her mask off if she’s to survive this encounter.

"No." Not-Marinette says, "I guess you didn't, mother."

She flinches despite herself. Maybe it’s how much the girl does look like her that gives her it’s bite. Maybe it’s that Nathalie had killed her and now she stands in front of her like a ghost. "Don't call me that."

"Why?” The girl demands, and it’s impossible but there’s almost something of Gabriel in her stance like the emotion Nathalie had created her from had left its mark on her, “Do you tell Adrien not to call his mother that?"

"That's different." She tries to defend herself.

"Is it? We were created the same way."

"No, no you weren't. Adrien was created by Emilie to be his son. She raised him. She was his mother. You were just," the girl is looking at her with big wet eyes and she quickly amends her next words to, "you were my masterpiece. But you were to get me those Miraculous. Not to be my daughter."

It’s the truth. It has to be the truth or her denial of being like Gabriel to Marinette was pure self-righteousness. If her creation was her daughter than she was a bad as him. Worse even. He’d not have gone that far, she still believes that- he did save her after all.

And as for those he’d created with the Peaocck Miraculous. They’d never gained sentience of their own like this girl has.

Her creation binds her hands behind her back and with a challenging jut of her chin asserts, "Adrien's not your son either."

"He's not." Nathalie agrees. She loves him like he is, and he’s the closest thing she’s likely to even have to one, but at the end of the day he’s not- he has a mother and she’s Nathalie and Nathalie’s not worthy of trying to step into her shoes.

"So,” The girl makes another too familiar expression and demands, “would you kill him?"

"Of course not.” She doesn’t even need to think about it, “I'd kill anyone who tried."

"Oh." The girl blinks, and there's a pause before she adds in a somewhat awed tone, "So it's not just people like us you don't care about killing."

She looks, she sounds, so young but then she is only a few days old- or however long it is since Felix brought her back whatever she looks like.

"Ladybug," she pauses, "you need a better name. Do you have one?"

The girl shakes her head.

"Then- and you don't have to use it.” And she’s not sure why she’s saying it, why she thinks this girl she created and killed would care, “But Jeanne was what I would have called a daughter if I'd had one."

That gets her a frown. "You could still. You don't think you'll regret wasting it on me?"

"It's not a waste.” And it’s an easy sacrifice, she knows children of her own aren’t on the horizon but she’s not going to talk about that the child she had made and Félix, “And it's the least I can do to make things up to you. Jeanne," she sighs, "I'm sorry for what I did to you. It was wrong. And I should be in prison. But Ladybug wants me to atone for the harm I did to Adrien a different way. And if you'll let me I will do my best to atone for the harm I did to you too."

The girl raises an eyebrow, "you're offering to raise me too?"

"If that's what you want. Or you can stay with Felix. I- I can't promise to be a good mother Jeanne. I don't know how to. I don't know what that even looks like."

"That explains the attraction to Adrien's father," Argos mutters.

Nathalie ignores him. It’s usually the best way to handle him and besides he isn’t her priority right now. For the first time in this conversation she feels a certainty she’s saying the right thing, "and- I don't know what you'd want me to be that. But I have an obligation to you. I know that, and I'll be whatever you want to me to be to you. And Félix?"

"What?" He sounds his age in his petulance for once.

"Thank you. For freeing me of one of my sins." She means it. Just like she’d meant the offer earlier. The heroes keep giving her chances to be better she doesn’t deserve.

"I didn't do it for you."

"I know."

“Um,” Jeanne interrupts, “I think I’d like to stay. Paris seems- I don’t know. Right? To me? In a way London doesn’t.”

Nathalie shares a concerned look with Félix. Unlike the cousins and Kagami Jeanne wasn’t meant to be person. Just a diversion for Chat Noir. They don’t know how that’s going to effect her.

But they’ll figure it out.

“Then you’re welcome to.”

hi hi hellooo! Aleksi's remix of Let Me Down Slowly came up on my youtube recs and it instantly reminded me of your amazing fic and I knoooooooooow I said it a million times but thank you so much for writing it and sharing it, it's so fucking good!!!!!!! 💖💘💖💕💖💖💘

now imagine, pining-idiots-that-haven't-realized-they-are-in-love Allu and Olli are probably enjoying their well deserved breaks from all the stuff they did in 2023 (and most likely with their partners by their side), but I like to imagine that they still make some time for at least one video call once a week, or that they exchange dumb texts daily because they miss each other so much 🥺💕

maybe Olli grabs his guitar one night and comes up with some beautiful riff that he sends to Allu, but this time Aleksi decides that they have to finish it together side by side (clearly an excuse to see Olli again because oooops, he realized he has Feelings™ for his friend and bandmate) and well, Olli had to travel to Helsinki anyway (to make sure the new posters were shipped correctly, or to sign a legal document or some made up bullshit), soooo why not stay at his just-a-friend-i-swear's place for a few days?

they would have the Moment Of Realization late at night, around 2AM when Allu is finally done with the remix and Olli is already asleep on the couch (is he really asleep, though? or just enjoying the moment with his eyes closed?). Allu would not resist the temptation of brushing a curl off Olli's beautiful face, and maybe caressing one of his cheeks while he can, not forseeing that Olli would be very much awake, so now they're both holding their breaths and staring at each other with so much love 💖💕💘

maybe they finally dare to get closer and share a shy little kiss after all those years of pining, or maybe they feel like they can't do it, not while they still have a significant other, and leave the studio confused and unsure of what to do next 🥰

anyways, it's already late over here and I used my last braincell to daydream about this 😅 have a lovely lovely day 💖💕💘💖💕💘

OH MY GOD???!!?!?!??!?! 😭😭😭😭😭

this made my stomach do the thing because akdjshfksjfdkf I've honestly spent the entire Christmas break thinking about the two of them constantly checking their phones and not really understanding why they feel so disappointed when there's no new text from the other or why they feel a pang of jealousy when the other posts a holiday greeting in the group chat (=a selfie with their gf with a cheesy Christmassy/NYE edit and a text "Happy Holidays from us!")

amd aaaahhhh imagine soft Olli playing softly on his soft guitar AND THINKING OF ALLU THE WHOLE TIME DJDHFGFFJFF I meaaaaan may I remind y'all that yet again this is not just something the delulu made up but instead it's something that actually for real happened with the Let Me Down remix 😭 obviously we don't know if Olli had the riff ready and Allu just happened to need one and it came up in a conversation, or if Allu asked him to make him one, or if Olli just sent the riff to Allu who was so inspired (and in love (with the riff! or at least that's what he convinced himself then)) that he made an entire remix based off it 🥺 my point here is that it's TOO EASY to imagine them doing exactly what you just derscribed 🤧💕

and yeah, I have also been imagining their first kiss and how terrifying it would be for the both of them 😭 I mean, I want to assume that the "deep talks" they've had over a glass of wine or a bottle of Mountain Dew (again, something we know for certain they done, not just something the delulu has decided is canon!!) they have also discussed sex and/or sexuality and came out as bi to each other, so it's not the fact they're both dudes and about to kiss each other that's messing with their heads rather than the fact they're both in relationships skgjdjfksjfsjfjdjf fuck why am I so invested in this 😩

bonus points indeed if they only ALMOST kiss before they snap out of it and aaaaaaaaaa poor confused boys!! because this whole time they've been like "I don't actually like him that way, and even if I did nothing could ever happen because we're friends and co-workers and he's taken" but then they realise they were having an undeniable Moment(tm) and the other was actually about to kiss them back too so they're like ???????????????? oh god 😭

thanks for this, I feel so validated once again 🙈

notes: hello lovely!💗 Thank you so much for your request (I apologise for posting it so late🙈). This was actually so much fun to write and it’s also my first fic for Italian Bach, hehe. I hope you enjoy!!✨🫶🏼

"Hello m' lady," Isaac greeted me at his apartment door, stepping aside to let me in. I giggled before softly pecking him on the lips.

We were both quite new to the whole youtuber thing just eight months ago. We met through a friend and decided to film a video together. The fans started shipping us, as they do, and something else ended up blossoming between us.

"Ready to film?" I asked, after we'd spent a little while chatting on his sofa. "Yup!" He jumped up and then reached for my hands to pull me up and off the couch.

He brought another chair into the spare bedroom so we could both sit at his desk, then he turned the camera on and we got started.

"Hello, my little gremlins," he began in a strange voice, I didn't bat an eyelid since I was fully used to his antics. "Today I have my girlfriend here to answer some of your questions. So get comfy and maybe get some popcorn or something."

I shuffled in the chair as he pulled out his phone. "Okay... Jacob asked, do you guys fuc-" he faked a gasp and I raised my eyebrows. "Jacob that is absolutely disgusting, you little virgin man... ew, but the answer to your question is yes. Anything to say on the matter y/n?" I breathed out a laugh. "Nope. I think you covered all bases."

"Next! Lillian, ah... can never trust a Lillian," I furrowed my brows. "What why?" "I have my reasons. Okay, she asked when did you realise you loved y/n?" "Aw, that's cute!" I smiled.

"Umm... probably when I got some of that poosay!" "Isaac!" I playfully slapped his arm. "No no, I'm joking! It was after we'd just finished filming a video and we ordered dinner and I realised that even the boring, simple things I always enjoyed doing it if it was with you."

"Oh my god, that was actually such a sweet answer, the tiktok editors are gonna eat that up." He chuckled as he knew I was right.

"Do you wanna read this one?" He asked. I nodded and took the phone. "Wolfman57 asked when we want kids," my eyes widened as I read the message. "First of all, I love your username, secondly that's a big question to ask, wolfman." Bach stated.

"Why don't we get back to you in a few years?" I opted. "Yes, we shall do that," Isaac seconded. "Moving on... oh lord, Sam asked, what's the biggest animal you think you could fit up your ass?" "Woah Sam, that's crazy," Bach grimaced.

"Why don't you take the phone back?" I said and he quickly took it. "I'm sorry your eyes had to witness that my love," he joked.

After quite a few interesting questions we were onto the last one. I leaned my head on Isaac's shoulder so that I could see the phone. "Okay... finally, Laura asked, what's our favourite thing about each other?"

"Ooo, I like this!" I grinned. "My favourite thing about you is your ability to find the good in any situation. Though an honourable mention is that fat ass," he answered.

I scoffed. "That was sweet and you know what... I'll take it. Okay, now yours, my kind sir, would be your funny little jokes and the way they make me belly laugh. Along with the mullet," I smirked as I ran my hand over the back of his hair.

"Thank you for watching till the end, obviously y/n will be back soon so put any requests of things you want to see us film in the comments!" "Nothing dirty," I added. Bach chuckled before turning the camera off.

"That was perfect." "You're perfect, now let's go get some lunch," he responded, standing. "You know... if we order something, that usually takes like twenty minutes to come..." "ah... what do you suggest we do while we wait ma'am?" "I don't know, a lot can be accomplished in twenty minutes," I replied with a cheeky smile.

In and instant he'd grabbed me and flung me over his shoulder. I let out a shriek and giggled as he ran with me into our bedroom.

Hello! I saw a post where you mention prompts. Idk if they are still open or what kind. 👉👈 but I’m humbly asking for Draco with dimples 🙈

When You Smile

@xx-thedarklord-xx Hi hello!! I am very Normal and Nonchalant about getting a prompt from you!! Not at ALL fangirling!! Nope, not one bit!! *screams into a pillow* *kicks feet*

ANYWAY! Here is what I've got. I hope it does your prompt justice. I am very sorry it's so late; I would not blame you if you forgot you even sent this. I am soooo bad at answering prompts in a timely fashion. (I do technically have prompts open indefinitely, of pretty much any kind, but I just cannot guarantee they will be done in a timely fashion. There are prompts in my ask box and drafts from literal years ago, but such is the life of a writer with ADHD, I guess, lol.)

I hope you enjoy!!! And thanks for the prompt!

"Potter, are you even listening to me?"

Harry is pulled from his daze, refocusing his eyes on Draco's now slightly frowning face. Draco glares at him, mouth slanted downward, and that simply won't do.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" Harry says as earnestly as he can, resting his arms next to the library books stacked on the table.

When Harry thought about it, he was fairly certain the first time he was conscious of the flutter in his stomach around Draco was also the first time he noticed—well, it. Draco had been grinning, laughing heartily at something Pansy'd said, and Harry'd seen the sweet, subtle dimple at the corner of his mouth.

That one tiny divot. A small quirk that could be coaxed from his cheek if you made him grin wide enough.

Since then, Harry knew he was a goner.

Now, Draco rolls his eyes, but his lips tick up, and Harry feels a jolt of triumph at seeing the dimple reappear in the corner of Draco's mouth.

"There it is," he whispers, eyes fixated on that precious little mark. He watches as it fades into smooth skin, blinks, and then looks up into confused gray eyes and a furrowed brow.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Draco reaches up and gently wipes at his cheek, frown deepening when his fingers come up dry. He looks back at Harry. "Well?"

Harry feels his cheeks heat. "Sorry. I got distracted."

"I could tell that much, though I'm not sure what entertainment you could have possibly found on my face. I do hope you had your fun," Draco says bitterly.

"No no, it's not—" Harry glances away, unable to look at Draco. "I just like your smile," he admits to the desk in front of him.

"My smile?"

"Yes." Harry forces himself to meet Draco's eyes. "When you smile, you get a little dimple right—" he reaches up and brushes the corner of Draco's lip with his thumb—"there."

He brushes the spot again, because he can't quite help himself, and pulls his hand away from Draco's shocked face. His palm feels cold.

"Oh," Draco whispers. "Well, I suppose that's alright then."

"Y-yeah?" Harry's breath catches.

Draco reaches across the table, slowly as though to let Harry pull away at any moment, and laces their fingers together.

"Yes," Draco says. And he smiles.

Oh my God, how embarrassing... I did it and translated my German fanfiction into English... into bad English! Don't be too harsh on me, but rather make suggestions for improvement: So now a little phone sex with Coach Negan. 🙈😌

Warnings: arrogant Negan, frustrated woman, explicit phone sex

Today is one of those days again, where nothing seems to work as it should. Just like so often lately. Why couldn't I transfer those damn photos to the laptop? I've never been very tech-savvy, but the modern world practically forced me to. I'm actually a cookbook author and used to be quite successful with it. Some of my books were bestsellers and I even had my own cooking segment on a nationally broadcasted morning show. But then I was suddenly replaced by a younger, "cooler" colleague and ever since then, I've been struggling to keep afloat with social media, more or less. If only the technology would cooperate..

Even in my personal life, I have been replaced. Four months ago, my husband left us. By us, I mean my three children and me. After 19 years of marriage. But love goes where it goes, right? Nothing can be done against that. At least, those were his words when he got into his Porsche with a blonde woman who could be his daughter and disappeared.

Since then, he has managed to do something with his children exactly twice. But in exchange, he has already disappointed them seven times by canceling the meetings at short notice. Yes, I'm keeping count. At least for now.

My oldest daughter Penny is 15 years old and fully immersed in puberty, and it seems that this situation is hardest on her. She and her father were always a unit, his little princess. But there's no trace of that at the moment. Most of the time, he doesn't even bother to answer his damn phone when she tries to reach him.

I see her suffering. She's lost interest in school, and her circle of friends is dwindling visibly. I would love to help her, but how? At the moment, I just can't seem to reach her. Our communication mostly consists of doors slamming.

But back to my current problem. These damn pictures! The article is supposed to go online today. I cooked an Indian dish and had to drive halfway across town to get these damn spices. Thursdays always bring an international post, and now, of all times, nothing is working again. My laptop doesn't recognize the memory card, and the camera won't connect either. I keep plugging and unplugging the cable, hoping the error will magically resolve. Which of course it doesn't. Suddenly, I glance at the small display in the lower right-hand corner. Damn it! So late. I won't be picking up the kids on time again, the second time this cursed week. Annoyed, I close the screen. Grabbing my purse, I walk quickly to the garage. Where's the damn car key? Nervously, I rummage through my chaotic bag, spilling half of its contents on the floor. Finally finding it, I get into the car and speed out of the driveway.

The first stop is the kindergarten to pick up my youngest. She's a real bundle of nerves, but so sweet that you can forgive her anything. Of course, she throws a tantrum right at pickup. It's a real struggle to get her into the car. Like a madwoman, I drive on to the elementary school to pick up my 9-year-old son. He is the calm one in our family and thankfully waits with his best friend relaxed in front of the school. At least one who's not mad at me. Lucky me. And off we go, heading to my daughter's high school. From a distance, I can see her and immediately know that - once again - something is wrong. She stands all alone and pretty annoyed on the street, looking out for me. When I park the car right in front of her feet, she angrily drops onto the passenger seat.

"Penny, I can explain, you know what a loser I am when it comes to technology..." I try to justify myself.

My eldest rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Mum, this time, for once, it's not your fault..." I see tears forming in the corners of her eyes, and automatically, I feel a lump in my throat.

"Mister Smith... he..."

She doesn't need to continue speaking; just hearing that name fills me with such anger again. Right from the start, there have been issues with her physical education teacher, Negan Smith.

I've only seen him twice so far, at parent-teacher conferences, but Penny's stories are enough for me to know that he's an absolute failure as a teacher. He has his favorites whom he praises to the skies, while the less athletic students suffer under his authoritarian ways. My daughter already feels uncomfortable in her own skin, and that jerk doesn't even realize the impact his remarks have on the young girls.

A few years ago, his wife passed away from cancer. A terrible tragedy, but apparently that did not make him more empathetic; quite the opposite.

I'm currently looking in the rearview mirror to avoid hitting anyone in the chaos outside the school. That's all I need on this crappy day. Then I catch sight of none other than Penny's physical education teacher.

"Isn't that him?" I ask excitedly.

My daughter buries her face even further into the backpack in her lap. "Yes, Mom, it's okay, please just drive..."

The anger that had been building up recently had just found a good release.

With the words "Nothing is good...", I yank open my driver's door and head purposefully towards my daughter's physical education teacher, who is just stowing his bag in his car.

"Who do you think you are?" I stand behind him with arms crossed, eagerly awaiting his reaction.

Confused, he turns around to face me and suddenly a big grin spreads across his face. "Negan Smith, nice to meet you, and who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"

What a cocky jerk!

"The mother of a rather offended young girl, because of you..."

Can't he just drop his arrogant smile for once? Quite unimpressed, he closes the door of his car.

"Penny has so much potential and she's wasting it on the damn bench..."

Such an idiot, he clearly knows who I am.

"Maybe you should listen to the young students as well, instead of just spouting off random remarks at them?"

Amused, he shakes his head. "I did... her excuse for skipping today's P.E. class was menstrual cramps..."

"And in your opinion that's not a valid reason or what? How dare you even pass judgment on that? Your students' bodies are going through changes and such discomforts should be taken seriously..." I respond a bit too loudly, causing some students to turn towards us.

Resigned, he raises his hands. "Of course, but not every damn other week. Maybe you should give your daughter some biology lessons again and explain to her that her P.E. teacher isn't completely from another planet."

Oh God, what does this man think he is..

"And you should work on your teaching skills... Otherwise, maybe I should consider contacting the school board!"

„Oh wow, you're actually a bigger drama queen than your dear daughter!".

Did he really just say that? Did he just seriously insult me? My daughter's teacher. I look at him in disbelief, but he just grins.

"And now she's quiet... I really have to go now, but I'm pretty sure we'll meet again soon." With these words, he jumps into his car and drives off.

Completely perplexed, I walk back to my car and am greeted by my daughter with the words "That was soooo embarrassing.."

7 hours later

Finally peace! Why does it always have to be such a struggle to get the kids to bed? Isn't it unfair that you are a thousand times more tired than the dear little ones? What a crappy day! I'm glad to be freshly showered in my bed and finally have some time off. Just me and my phone, no one else. No more whining, arguing, and crying. As much as I sometimes curse technology, I also love being able to connect with people over the internet. It's fun to respond to comments, the direct exchange with like-minded people is the only positive thing about social media. As I scroll through Instagram, I suddenly see comments coming in at a rapid pace. Confused, I open them. From "Do you always look so good when you cook?" to "Can you cook that for me sometime?" to heart emojis, and they all come from the same account. As I read the name, a shock runs through me. Can this be for real? "Coach Negan" is he not only a tactless asshole, but also a real psychopath? Excited, I click on his account, but apart from a profile picture where he is clearly recognizable, there is no further information.

I quickly open the messaging function and type "What is this???" into my phone. It only takes a few seconds and I receive a response.

"I am a fan 😉"

For a while, I stare at the screen, unable to believe what is happening here.

Suddenly, he sends me a picture. I open it and see a photo of me from my highlights, showing me from my post "Valentine's Day." I had cooked a three-course meal and written a pretty cheesy text back then. It's one of my most liked posts.

"Red lipstick suits you. Matches your fiery nature.." he writes.

What does he want to achieve? Did the confrontation before school hurt him so much that he is trying to provoke me? But to be honest, it seems like he's the one giving me a warning. Well, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the best defense is a good offense.

"Oh, do you think so? Most men say I look better without wearing anything...I mean, without lipstick, of course.. 😉".

"Are you already in bed?" he asks next. What a bizarre situation? Why does my daughter's teacher want to know where I am? The same teacher who called me a ‚drama queen‘ just a few hours ago.

I keep trying to type a suitable response on my phone and then delete it again. Finally, I write briefly, "Yes, and you?"

"Yes, and I'm studying your profile. Do you realize how crazy you can drive a man with these pictures? Why am I even asking, of course you do. 😉"

The feeling of small electric shocks runs through my body. The whole thing feels strangely forbidden. Maybe what I'm doing here is damn wrong, but right now, the consequences seem pretty irrelevant to me.

"How mean, you can look at my pictures, but you don't have any online yourself."

"That's true, but how about you hear my voice instead?" Attached to this message was his phone number. Okay, this is all moving pretty quickly, in a pretty strange direction. I'm so excited that I can feel my heart pounding wildly in my chest. But what do I have to lose? I haven't felt like this in the last 20 years. Okay, it's a damn bizarre situation, but I'm an adult and single. So I can finally talk to whoever I want. Even with the biggest jerk I've come across lately.

Feeling totally tense, I dial the number and as it rings, it gets even worse. I take a few deep breaths, and suddenly the deep voice on the other end answers with a "What took you so long to decide?" and I can practically feel his grin.

"Well, I had to think for a moment about what would be so sensible about calling my daughter's narcissistic gym teacher in the middle of the night," I say calmly.

"And what would be sensible about that?" he asks with interest.

"I haven't really found a solid reason yet, but maybe you can tell me?"

He thinks for a moment, and I imagine him lying in his bed. A slight tingling sensation spreads in my stomach, which is intensified by his response.

"Well, I can make sure you feel a little better... forget all the everyday crap that's weighing on your pretty shoulders right now."

I briefly close my eyes to focus more on his voice, which really manages to relax me a bit with just that simple sentence.

"And how do you plan to do that?" I ask softly.

"When was the last time you were really well fucked?" As soon as he says it, my lower abdomen tightens, and I automatically press my legs together.

After I take a moment to collect myself, I honestly respond, "That was much too long ago..."

"Oh, poor girl," Negan provocatively replies, but instead of getting upset about it, it triggers completely different feelings in me. "Tell me about what you imagine when you stroke your lonely pussy at night."

I have to swallow briefly to get rid of the extremely dry feeling in my throat.

"I can tell you what I think about when I do it in a moment..." I say softly but firmly.

And his tone changes too. His breathing becomes heavier. "Then tell me, come on," he commands.

"I imagine it's your fingers running over my body and finally sliding my panties to the side and penetrating deep into me..." My cheeks feel like they're glowing. I've never talked like this with anyone before, and now I just did it with a man who is actually a stranger to me.

"Come on, sweetheart... touch yourself for me and tell me if you're wet," he interrupts.

Without thinking, I click on the speaker icon on my display and place the phone next to me on the pillow, then I slide my right hand under my nightgown into my panties and I'm surprised at how aroused I already am, how swollen my clit is, and how sensitive my whole intimate area has become. I sigh softly.

"Fuck, the sweet little sounds you're making... they make my damn cock twitch in my hand with joy..."

Just the thought that he's so aroused by me on the other end sends waves of pleasure through my body.

"I'm already so wet because of you, Negan..." I admit breathlessly.

"You dirty, pretty lady, if I were with you right now, I would slowly penetrate deep into you... you need that now, don't you?"

"Yes!" I can only whisper.

"Okay, now do everything exactly as I tell you, understood?" he demands.

"Yes, please tell me what to do.." I focus solely on his voice, completely tuning out everything else.

"Take off your panties. Use your index and middle fingers to gently stroke over your mons pubis and then slowly over your outer labia, but not more, just right there.."

Immediately, I follow his instructions. The air feels cool on my bare lower abdomen. I feel strangely exposed, even though I am alone in my bedroom, but it's not uncomfortable, quite the opposite. I begin to caress myself gently.

"How does that feel?" his voice breaks the silence again.

"Good, but I want more.." I plead.

"I already knew that.. Bend your legs and spread them wide.. as far as you can.." He gives me a brief moment to comply with his instructions. "Now push your pelvis even further forward.. Imagine I'm between your legs and you want to present me with your beautiful pussy, you would like that, wouldn't you?"

"Yes.." I say and nod vigorously, even though no one can see me.

"Such a good girl.. and now run your index finger through your slit, spread your juices.."

I can't and don't want to hold back my moans now. There is silence for a while at the other end, then I speak heavily.

"Are you also pleasuring your cock for me?" I ask as I continue to touch myself.

"Oh, sweetheart, so your thoughts are currently only about that.." he says snappily. "Yes, I am, and if you keep moaning so sweetly into the phone, it won't be long, so it's time for you to start massaging your clit, but don't be too timid, circle it with two fingers and use some pressure, even if you're very sensitive now, you can take it.."

Oh God, that was exactly what I needed right now. My body felt like in ecstasy and I could feel the orgasm slowly building up.

"Don't come yet," he commanded, and on cue, I immediately removed my fingers from my most sensitive spot.

"Now, bring your knees close to your body!“

"Yes," I replied, completely exhausted. "You're doing it perfectly, how much I would love to see you in this position right now, just the damn thought!" I could clearly hear him softly moaning. This sound made my body twitch with excitement.

"Penetrate yourself with two fingers... nice and slow. Focus entirely on the feeling of stretching your pussy wide... Tell me when you're all the way in!"

"Now," I whispered, already quite spent.

"Then add your ring finger, once you've done that, you can come intensely as a reward, I promise."

Slowly, I press the third finger into me, which initially causes a bittersweet pull, but I'm so wet that it's not a problem.

Without me telling him, Negan knows that I fulfilled his request.

"So perfect, sweetheart! And now, pleasure your clit! Bring yourself to climax and don't hold back any sound, I want to hear every sweet noise from you."

With the first gentle touch, my body twitches like crazy.

"Negan, please come with me," I stammer into the phone.

"Yes, I promise, beautiful," he replies breathlessly.

And these words are enough for me to come as intensely as I haven't in the past years. My thighs tremble uncontrollably and my heart almost jumps out of my chest. My lower abdomen contracts in waves and I can barely breathe. It feels like I am weightless for a few seconds.

"Do you feel good?" he asks after a short pause.

"Perfect.." I reply and can't gather my thoughts yet.

"Okay, then I expect you tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. for a parent-teacher meeting at the school, and, by the way, without panties.. Good night!" After these words, I only hear a beep on the line.

Just finished sanctity and oh my it's so unbelievably amazing I'm ready to dive into it all over again 🤣😭 THE CHARACTERISATION in your works I CAN AND WILL NEVER GET OVER!I'm gonna be honest I was not prepared for that billiard room scene it was WILD 🤣🙈. I may have read the room wrong but are jimin and yoongi giving some intimate vibes, or is it more of a fascination yoongi has for beauty and intriguing things as he is a painter??

Also ik you are planning to release trouvaille next for late Feb or March or whenever. So are you planning to change between sanctity and trouvaille for every update? Or will you just do whatever order inspiration is taking you in? I also wanna ask about your writing process but I fear this ask was already overkill and way too long so I'll stop here 🤣😭. Love you 🫶

OMG AH!!!! THANK YOU BESTIE!! Looooord was that chapter quite something to tackle so I'm really happy that you enjoyed reading. Second chapters are always the hardest to start, in my opinion.

Characters are my favorite aspects of a story to develop, so your kind words are very special to me 🥹 it was really fun to break from Trouvaille and start fresh with new ideas for not only for Bangtan but for the MC and side characters as well. It's been fun to make them all talk like ancient beings, too 😂

YESS the billiard's scene was fuckin nuts!!! Definitely demonstrates the perversion that the coven is reeking with. This is highlighted by their obsession over her innocence and virginity :/ 

So! The Yoonmin scene 👹 You're guessing correctly! I hold a similar belief to many that work with immortal characters, vampires, most specifically: they've lived for centuries, of course they've experimented with same sex relationships. The coven in Sanctity have been together for hundreds of years, so romantic entanglements between one another are very possible......... 🫣🫣🫣

I'm giving myself the opportunity to work on projects that inspire me as I go. Sanctity Two took about three months to finish, so I'm just about ready (and itching) to return to Trouvaille. It's unpredictable and I know a lot of readers won't love not knowing what to expect and when, but I promise that I'll be less of a nutcase as a result 💀 So yes, I'm going where inspo takes me!

Fighting the urge to not develop a new fic atm too 💀 I need a Virgo (Namjoon) to keep my Libra ass on task

I have a couple of other asks wondering about my writing process, which I wanna take some time to answer hehe. I'll reblog this with the link once I get that up!

THANK YOUUU for reading Sanctity Two!!! I can't wait to see where I take it next-- because even I don't know-- but my guess the third chapter will be worked on after the next Trouvaille update in the spring. Love to you! 💗

[when-life-gives-you-lemons-if]

Hi!! I really love your work.. it’s sometimes hard to find interactive fiction that doesn’t have supernatural beings or something related to magic powers.

My birthday is tomorrow! and I was wondering if we could get like a sneak peak of a scene with the “Other Parent” as either Barlow or Green, finding out they’re the other parent!? If it’s too much of a spoiler than I understand.

and can you also recommend other if’s like yours!? That are more related to the real world?

Hey happy early birthday. 🎉🎊🎁 I hope you have a great day and enjoy it to the fullest.

Also thank you for your kind words. It's always nice to receive them. 💕

More slice of life stories are really needed. I haven't been doing much reading lately, but on the top of my head I can say, Merry crisis and college tennis from @allieebobo, I think there's more, but I haven't been on the loop lately. 🙈

As for the story request, I will do a Wyatt snippet under the cut. You can find a Barlow snippet here. This was a commission.

The smile fades from his face as fast as it took the time to form. "You're Alice?" his eyes soften. "Alice from the bar?"

He takes a step closer to you as if he wants to touch you to make sure you're real, but you take a step back.

Alice from the bar is what he's been calling you? Really? You're unsure if you should be offended by this, but you compose yourself and stay on topic.

"Yes, I am," you say, meeting his gaze steadily. Your heart races with apprehension and vulnerability washes over you.

"But there's another reason why I'm coming clean to you today."

"Coming clean?" Wyatt frowns, his brow furrowing in confusion. "I don't understand."

Neither did you when that pregnancy test displayed that plus sign almost seven years ago. But in any way, you had to suck it up, be strong to face your father's wrath, and ready yourself to raise a child as a single parent.

"Please, Wyatt..." you breathe, your voice quivering with emotion. "I need you to just listen. The things I have to say are not easy to hear, but I do want you to listen."

Wyatt's expression remains a mix of surprise and curiosity as he takes in your words. His eyes search yours, and you can see the storm of thoughts and feelings behind them. But his silence encourages you to continue, and you muster the courage to keep talking.

"When I started working here, I know you had no idea who I was... I swear that I wasn't sure of your identity either..." you say, pausing before continuing. Emotions swirl within you, and you find it difficult to maintain your composure.

"What happened between us happened so long ago... and it wasn't something that we planned... we were just two strangers at a bar... young and maybe stupid... and there were no promises made... but..."

"But..." Wyatt urges you, his eyes searching yours for answers.

"But what we did wasn't without consequences," you let out almost relieved. Your voice quivers, and your heart pounds in your chest. "I've spent a lot of time thinking about that night over the years, Wyatt. Not a single day passes without me thinking about that night because I have a constant reminder. A tangible one..."

"Alice... what... what are you trying to say?" Wyatt looks at you, his expression full of confusion.

Unable to find your words, you pull out your phone and scroll through your pictures to find one of Maddie smiling. The exact replica of Wyatt's smile. You look at it for a short second before handing the phone to Wyatt.

You knew exactly when he realized that Maddie was his daughter, as you can see the color instantly drained out of his face as he is unable to peel his eyes away from the picture. Emotions flood his features, from shock to realization, and finally, to a profound understanding of what you've just revealed.

"I'm sorry," you say, your voice trembling with regret. "I didn't know how to find you. I didn't even know your last name. All I knew was—"

"I'm a father?" Wyatt whispers as he lets himself fall into the nearby office chair. His eyes remain fixed upon the picture, and his hand clutches the phone like it's the only thing keeping him grounded.

You take a step closer, your heart aching for him, and place your hand on his shoulder, not sure what to say or do. You sit in the chair beside him, while he continues to silently stare at Maddie's picture for what seems like hours.

"I'm sorry," you whisper softly, your voice filled with sorrow, before gathering the courage to speak louder. "I wanted so much for Maddie to have both of her parents, but I didn't know how to find you."

Your words seem to have reached him, as finally, he looks up at you.

"I'm a father," he repeats like a broken record, his voice heavy with disbelief and guilt. "I have a daughter... we... we have a daughter... Oh, God, Alice... All these years... the thought of the two of you alone... while I was not there... I... I don't know how I could ever make up for that."

You watch as his eyes glisten with unshed tears while the reality of his absence sinks in.

[my-castles-crumbling]

hi cas 🌟

the moral support you give your community with this help boxes / asks is truly astounding, i admire you so much for it and i think it's incredible how you managed to create this safe space, not only for you but for other people as well <3

having said that, i too come looking for advice 🙈

explaining the whole story would take waaaay too long, so the tl;dr version is this: i'm not a very social person to begin with, i've always struggled with keeping relationships and forming deep meaningful bonds, but for the past few years the closest thing i had to a "best-friendship" was with this one group of female friends from university. we used to live all together in a student residency, but back in november i had to move out, and ever since then i've had the feeling that our relationship completely deteriorated. we still all live in the same (small) town, we're all doing the same program so we have all classes together but we still never really see each other outside of academic settings (eg lectures or exams). i know they see each other all the time because they're still living all together and i've been feeling very left out.

about a month ago i finally snapped, so i tried addressing this issues i was having with one of them, and she was incredibly understanding. we had a long conversation about how we both felt about the situation and by the end we had agreed to both try our best to be more involved in each other's life.

except a month has passed and....nothing really changed. i still hear very little from any of them and we still only ever see each other if we're doing exams together (which happens, like, once every couple of weeks, and the whole time we're either stressed or concentrated, so there's not really time for catching up). we're currently going through my university's exam period so i really understand how we're all busy with school, but still...i wish they made an attempt at involving me more.

so now i'm wondering if i should try and address these problems i've had / i'm having with all of them instead of just the one friend. we'll all go back to our homes in a few weeks (we live all scattered around my country), and next year we'll all be on different year abroad programs so the next time we'll be together all in the same town will probably be in about a year (not counting the one week vacation we're going on this summer, but it won't be just us girls then).

what do you think? would it be counterproductive to rise the problem now? i'm afraid of how they'll react with me addressing it so ""late"" and that it could potentially ruin the little relationship we currently have.

thank you for whatever you will answer <3

Hi! <3

So first off, I have to ask..you seem to say a lot about how they aren't including you...but have you asked them to make plans? Reached out to them? I think with friendships, it's a two-way street, you know? You can't place the blame solely on them if you haven't really reached out either.

That being said, yes I think you should say something. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to mend fences. Try to be honest, but not accusatory, and tell them how you're feeling. I think it's best to try to fix it before you all go study abroad. As far as you waiting this long to address it, if they care, they'll be happy you said anything at all! And it they're mad you brought it up- take it as a sign that those friendships aren't worth keeping. Either way, it's worth it to know and fix what you need to fix.

Good luck, I know you can do it! <3

Naming you late anon

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Thanks for tagging me, @just-here-with-my-thoughts!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

18!

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

49,105

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Star Wars; recently I've been ping-ponging between The Bad Batch and the Clone Wars, although there's some Rebels in there, too

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Not Alone (269), Red Sky At Morning (196), Braids (136), I'll Stand In Front, I'll Take the Blow (120), and Breathless (118)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes, but I can be inconsistent 🙈 I tend to hoard comments like a dragon while I'm working on the next installment and then I'll spam reply when the next chapter is posted. So for example, right now, I'm working on chapter 4 of Not Alone. When it's done, I'll go back and reply to all the comments on chapter 3. But by and large, yes, I reply to comments! I love it!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Either Fallout (Cody and Obi-Wan post-Kadavo) or May Your Spirit Never Leave Me (Ahsoka's POV during the Rako Hardeen arc). It's interesting that they're both other characters reacting to Obi-Wan being hurt! That man doesn't realize the havoc he wreaks on others

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Breathless, easy. Who doesn't love a CodyWan first kiss?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, fortunately I'm too small for that

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I haven't yet, but I have some ideas percolating

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I have not

11. (Stealing @just-here-with-my-thoughts 11th question!) Which fic are you proud of but wish had gotten a bigger response from your readers?

Breathless. Granted, the CodyWan fandom is pretty large and active, and it was my first attempt writing them, so maybe it just got lost in the shuffle, but I think it's underrated personally

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Similar to @just-here-with-my-thoughts, I had a notebook in high school that my friend and I used to take turns writing self-insert White Collar/Celtic Thunder fanfiction (don't ask). So actually, wait, I guess my answer to number 10 is wrong. I have written one crossover

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Obi-Wan/Reader *coughs* I mean, Greg Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes. And Crowley/Aziraphale. And Eddie Brock/Venom

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a non-fanfiction related WIP that has been collecting dust on my hard drive for like four years. It's a queer retelling of Hades and Persephone that I'm not sure I'll ever get back to

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've always been told I'm good at dialogue, and I do find that to be the easiest and usually the first thing I write in a scene

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. I find it super challenging to work in settings/colors/flavors/textures/etc in a natural way that doesn't interrupt the flow of the scene

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've never done it, but I also don't speak another language

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter, as was the case for many Zillenial fanfic writers

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I love all my children equally! Although Not Alone has been giving me lots of dopamine lately. And I'm very excited about the things I'm working on for CodyWan Week ☺️

I'm tagging @here-be-bec, @stardustloki, @split-spectrum, @cyarbika, and everyone else who wants to play!

[ourdillo]

🎷📣 - Inoci

🙈 🕷️ - No Name

🚆 🍩 - Thomas

Oh great choices, actually! Thank you!

[INOCI.]

🎷 "Do they play instruments? Are they any good at it?"

Inoci is actually a gifted pianist and violinist! He learned to play the piano and violin after his first two years on earth while he was in his human disguise in Milan, Italy. He was fond of the sounds they made, as they reminded him of his late mothers beautiful hum that he would listen to in the days she was still around his old home. Thanks to his skills, it has made things easier for him to break the ice with anyone he is romantically interested in but also makes for a good distraction and disguise given how a hit is going. There are others he can play but not as good, the worst instrument for him is a flute cuz he just blows it without using his fingers.

📣 "How loud are they? What do they speak like? Got a calm voice?"

So he usually talks quite loud and energetic, often due to his mentality of life and how he views many things as a fun Saturday morning cartoon. Imagine someone who just won the lottery but was coherent with their speech! Now, saying this, he does actually have a calm voice but it's more mood depending. In an interrogation he's a lot calmer, sadistic and menacing with his words as that usually helps get the egg to crack. He can also talk calmly in an almost whisper when he's feeling romantic or seductive, this is only when he wants to set a mood however whether its the wholesome kind or the spicy kind. If he's close enough with a partner he will be his usual loud self but he also knows when to be calmer and more sugary sweet! If he can detect something is bothering his partner, he usually talks low and softly with a shoulder rub to help.

[NO NAME.]

🙈 "What's a side of your OC that they don't want to show other people?"

Ahh good question as No Name is an openly admitted furry, so what would he not want others to see? Well, it would be his strange obsession with the feeling of pudding against his chrome skin. Yes. I'm serious. No Name enjoys how it feels when pudding is gently caressed against him with his favourite locations being his pecs, abs and the face area of his head. It isn't at all sexual, but he's scared people would think it is. It's more a feeling of comfort and... safety for him, he can't explain it himself but it makes him feel more confident in himself. Now obviously he doesn't do it a lot as it's a bitch to wash off and then polish but after a hard case closed he may treat himself to a pudding massage! Also, if he lives with someone and there is pudding in the house, two cups may be missing. Also also, his favourite texture wise is berry pudding.

🕷️ "What is their biggest fear? Do they have any irrational/mundane fears?"

His biggest fear is never being good enough for those he cares for, it's why he's often so clingy and willing to help as he hopes it makes others view him as more than he does himself. Another fear is losing himself, I'd consider him morally grey but willing to do things a certain way to make the best outcome, but he sometimes worries about the possibility that he'd go down a dark path which is actually something he encountered during a dimensional rift. As for irrational/mundane, that's tough to say as he is very calm and stoic with his words and how he behaves but if i could think of one thing it would be mirror houses. He sees his own damn reflection so much, he's fine with mirrors but if he is surrounded by them he may actually crumble into a fetal position and hyperventilate.

[THOMAS.]

🚆"What is there answer to the trolley problem?'

So this is when the trolley is moved once the decision is made, yeah? If so, he would just lazily ask each individual person what their favourite flavour of chips would be and then asl them morality based questions. He would then choose the one person regardless as he feels more lives is better than one. Now, what if the one person is close to him? Then its tricky for him, as he would now have to actually use his brain and think. It depends on how much he loves and enjoys said person too, in the end it would either be a noble sacrifice or "fuck it" and kill others to save his friend/lover. NOW TAKING ASIDE ALL LOGIC he would legit just build a third set of tracks, tie himself down and then wait for some other shmuck to come by and start saying "pick me I enjoy Big Mouth" to further ensure he is chosen.

🍩"Favourite sweet treat?"

He would never answer this as he would just go into a blank and think about the universe, some sweet treats he enjoys would be chocolate, sprinkled donuts, your single OCs (ayy), ice cream and gummy bears. Now, if we were to take all those sweets and lay them down in front of his dumbass, which would he go for? The donut would smell good and catch his attention, but the chocolate especially if a little melted may make his mouth water... your single OCs would fluster him, which would be cooled off nicely by the ice cream which THEN would make the gummy bears taste even better. So, final answer? His favourite sweet is sugar. Just sugar. He will eat a bag of straight sugar. Why did I break all that down for a simple answer? Cuz Thomas is a man who speaks in simple single word phrases, so the fact I typed this much for him, which he never would consider typing or saying, is funny.

Tag 9 people that you want to get to know better

Thank you so much for the tag @uhbasicallyjustmilex 🩵

most recent ship: Do I even need to say it? 👀

(oh god; the way I just fell into that gif hole and couldn't pick and just happily scrolled & scrolled & smiled & scrolled)

ship i’ve read the most of: huh! Hmm. I think it might be them at this point honestly 👀 otherwise - it could've also been Beth Harmon/Benny Watts.

Yes - Queen's Gambit fics... Was a thing in my life. I was in a deep dark hole at the time & that show just hit something in me - I grasped onto it for dear life as a form of escapism for months and it brought me back into fanfics after years & years.

wild card: figure skater ships? i don't wanna get into the specifics though 🙈 things have changed.

first ever ship: oh, we're going there are we 👀 there might've been earlier ones I can't remember. They were probably niche though. So I guess I'll say Skate (Sawyer/Kate from Lost - anyone remember that show?). But I think Suspian (Susan/Caspian from Narnia. Yep.) needs an honorary mention cause it's the first I got involved in to the point of making ship content - even if I didn't know that term yet (wasn't I such a fun kid?).

last song: I wanna be your girlfriend - Girl in Red

last movie: oh I've been bad at watching movies for a while now (shows seem... easier) - so it seems like actual movie-wise that's gonna be Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore a few weeks back (@kiray1991 👀)

currently reading: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (been on my shelf forever & was reminded of it by the trailer coming out. It seems like I've recently been unintentionally catching up on my older fandoms - with this THG prequel & the Fantastic Beasts movies). Also John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman is one I've started; stopped for a sec and will be coming back to next.

currently watching: in the middle of Get Back - the Beatles docu-series. Had a bit of a break cause I like to craft while watching that one & haven't had motivation to do so lately. But can't wait to get back (pun not intended actually, but I'm still proud of it) into that one.

currently consuming: a bunch of meds, cause I'm sick atm :c. Also coffee.

currently craving: evenings with guitar & singing - cause this cold/tonsillitis thing has made me take a break for the last couple of days 💔 (also TLSP 3 is very much the correct answer here always).

Ah goodness, I feel like a looot of people in my Tumblr circle have already been tagged? I'm going to just try - but I'm so bad with remembering the @'s off the top of my head - also sorry if you get double-tagged:

@kiray1991 @homoirrealis @haemoglobinheights @maybemoonout @mileskanex @inourownshadows @the-thing-about-life-is @the-libertines & YOU. Yes, you. If you're reading this I really wanna see you do it!

20 Questions for Writers

Late as per usual, but thank you for the tag @loonysama! 💕

How many works do you have on AO3? 56

What's your total AO3 word count? 555,291

What fandoms do you write for? These days, pretty much only Frozen/Kristanna. Within the last few years, I've written a few Tangled fics, but it's been quite a while since I've been inspired to write any new Rapunzel/Eugene fics. I'd love to dip my toe into writing some other pairings (looking at you, Penelope/Colin - the urge to write for this pair is so strong that it's actually eating me alive) but I've been lacking inspiration lately. If anyone has some inspiration (and time) to spare, please send it my way XD

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Change of Pace (Anna/Kristoff) - 273 kudos

Still Falling For You (Anna/Kristoff) - 148 kudos

In a Crowd of Thousands (Anna/Kristoff) - 79 kudos

A Scarf to Keep Him Warm (Rapunzel/Eugene) - 66 kudos

Positive (Rapunzel/Eugene) - 65 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, always - even if it takes me a few weeks/months to get to them.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Angsty endings aren't really my thing, so I don't believe I can answer this question lol.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Oof, this is a tough one because all of my fics end happily. I don't think I can answer this question either lol.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I have, though not often or recently. I did get a couple of hate comments on Change of Pace back when I was updating regularly, but other than that and some comments on a few old fics on ffn, I don't really get hate (thankfully).

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! I primarily write fluffy, intimate, lovey-dovey smut that I *sincerely* hope comes across as sexy.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I don't write crossovers, sadly.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I don't believe so - at least, I hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic? I have, but they've never been published anywhere.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship? Kristanna!

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? All of my WIPs will eventually be finished! Even if it takes me literal years.

16. What are your writing strengths? I think my strengths are that I'm very detail-oriented and that I have a really wide/varied vocabulary.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Does "actually sitting down and writing" count as an answer? 🙈 In all seriousness, I struggle most with characterization and plotting long fics so that they don't become boring (why is it so difficult to build fics around the specific scenes in my head?!)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for fic? I think it's fine, depending on the context. Randomly switching to dialogue in another language for no reason and with no explanation/translation is a little odd to me, but other than that I think it's perfectly fine.

19. First fandom you wrote for? I'd rather not say 🙈

20. Favourite fic you've written? Hmm, this is another tough one and I feel like my favorite shifts from day to day (if I can say I have a favorite at all, that is). For now, I'll say my favorite is Two of Hearts. I'm really proud of that fic and I loved the way I was able to convey the emotions/feelings, the intimacy, and of course, the smut.

Thank you again for tagging me @loonysama! 💕 Tagging anyone else who wants to participate!!

🎀’s pre ramadan update finally!!

okay lol i cant really remember what i talked abt in my last one but first of all ramadan mubarak!!! to preface this very very long update how are you alice? i saw u said that u fucked things up with that talking stage (?) i think that’s what u said IF HES A GOOD GUY GO FOR IT!!!

you probs can’t remember but i think i did mention things about my friend group. okay so basically im just gonna name drop it does nawt matter but my friend emily, we’ve been friends since high school and she goes to a college an hour ish away and lemme tell u she has been so fake. she got a boyfriend and she likes to act very differently when she has one she basically talks down to me because i have a bad track record so there’s that. because of that i’ve grown closer to my other friends from our same high school who go to my college and we’re really close!! one of the girls invited me to her sorority formal and even got me a date! overall im really excited 🙈 i wish we were insta moots or smth so i could show u but nonetheless. now with that friend group it was originally a trio BUT this one girl, gabbi, we’ve been friends since 1st grade and she felt like she was excluded so we became closer and the other girls basically said i was replacing them and it was this whole thing but gabbi isn’t friends with them anymore but they’re cool with me? gabbi doesn’t care bc she’s mature and i love that girly for that. so much!

ughhh relationships. literally nothing i’ve officially gotten the ick from arsal FINALLY GUYS IM OVER HIM LIKE ACTUALLY OVER HIM. so amazing. i feel a lil lighter and a lot better abt myself. i’m about to buy a whole new wardrobe for JUNIOR YEAR. omg literally the time went by so quick i just told u how nervous i was to be a sophomore and now im one step closer to graduating and getting my degree. NERVY.

besides that school is going great as always we been knew im literally a smarty pants. i’ve been into like sza and frank ocean lately, my summer artists luv em SPEAKING OF SUMMER im so excited 🙈🙈🙈 so so excited. in other words i listened to enhas new ish album IT WAS REALLY GOOD. i’m upset i didn’t listen earlier. honestly the only grp i can some how care about is enha because lesserafim keeps on supporting isnotreal and it’s really tiring.

because of the war, i see how palestinians are still connected with their faith and still praying all though all that’s happening and alhamdulillah although i had not strayed too far from my faith, i feel more connected especially ramadan starting. i’ve been praying more regularly and even starting the quran again. inshallah this ramadan will be good!

i’ve been reading ur smau on jayflrt and it’s GOOOOOD luv it so far. how was that spontaneous trip!! give me an update alice i miss u!!! - 🎀

OMG i can't remember if i wished you in my other blog but ramadan mubarak ml !! 💘💘 OH SHIT yes i did fuck things up.... i think hes a good guy but HMM i think we both have different goals for what our first date was gonna be so im on the fence :p

i do rememeber this yes !! this is the one from the last ask i answered right?? you can send your ig if you're comfortable and i'll follow (and delete the ask obv so i don't expose your ig to everyone HAHAH) 🥰🥰 but your other friends from high school sound so much better than emily and i hope things go well with the sorority formal guy!! omg idk why they would claim that you were replacing them :// but i'm glad gabbi took it well and is mature about the distancing !! that's so much easier for everyone involved :')

YESSS CONGRATS ON BEING FREE 🥳 no seriously it feels like divine intervention when you finally get the ick from a guy you like that turns you off him for good LOL also GOOD LUCK FOR JUNIOR YEAR you're so close to being one degree hotter <33 enjoy the last two years of undergrad it'll fly by so fast :') AND I FULLY SUPPORT THE NEW WARDROBE YOU SHOULD BALL OUT

omg i do remember you saying you're into enha more than nct now ! but orange blood was SOOO good 😩 wait i need to know your biases and when you got into them too 🙏 are you going to their concert too?? i went to the fate tour so i don't think i'm gonna commit to fate+ unfortunately 🤧 and omg yeah i keep seeing lesserafim with starbucks like ?? and especially yunjin too,, i wouldn't have expected it from her of all people :/ and the whole argument like "oh starbucks isn't on the bds list" like okay yeah well two of their major shareholders literally make the weapons that the us military is providing for israel and at the end of the day it's just a matter of morals too

ahh i hope you have a wonderful ramadan ml!! i hope it'll be a good month for you to be in tune with your faith more ! also i'm so glad you like the jay smau so far !! 🥹🥹 it's a little intimidating to write but i enjoy it HAHAH also the trip was really fun !! i picked up my friends and we drove to our other friend's place to spend the weekend there and we went to the beach and went clubbing :') tbh the weather wasn't the best unfortunately but we did the best we could 🥲 also i drank so much that i'm swearing off alcohol for like 3 months 😭

Love the Way You Love Me

A First Lady of Private Garden Fic

y/ninsta: dualipa in another life my darling

jackharlow: WHAT? NO. She's my wife in the next lifetime and all the ones after that

y/ninsta: that's my man and imma stick beside him 😌

maggieharlow: the way you two talk about each other 🥰🥰

y/ninsta: maggieharlow I literally am always thanking you and Brian for raising such an amazing person 🥺

claybornharlow: y/ninsta I know right. I am pretty amazing 🥰

urbanwyatt: I mean I guess he's an okay dude

jackharlow: urbanwyatt and clayborn take your asses on somewhere

jackharlow: y/ninsta you make my world go round smush 😘

"So Y/N, you have just been out here killin it left and right. I know Private Garden is proud of you. Especially your husband."

"The way that they support me is insane. There was a time I was nervous to rap in front of them and it wasn't until Jack came home early and caught me. He didn't know I could rap until late 2019."

"That is crazy, so all you did was write and produce?"

"Yeah, ever since we were younger. I always loved to write and started out writing poems when I was around eleven. That soon led to me writing songs."

"So what led you to want to come out in the spotlight and make a name for yourself?"

"Literally because PG and Jack pushed me. It was a good thing. I remember it was the last night of his creme de la creme tour and he was like it's time. Because when he first caught me I was like there is no way I'm releasing anything and I was like babe, let's just focus on you first. Once we did that, he was like it's go time. I'm not taking no for an answer."

"I absolutely love the way you two are just so supportive of each other. And you two first met when you were both 14?"

"Yes, it's so insane because who would've thought that me moving to Kentucky would lead me to the love of my life."

"You both are so fortunate to find love at a young age, so what keeps it going and what makes it work?"

"It's like people don't understand that you have to want your relationship to work and want it bad and put in the effort. You have to be all in and that's what makes it work for us. We're a team with everything that we do. Like without a question or doubt in my mind. Communication is a huge factor and we never keep anything from each other no matter how big or small it is. Honesty is key."

"I've heard people mention that it seems as if you don't do anything without getting his approval first."

"It's not the fact that I need approval. It's the fact that he's my husband and I value his opinion as well as his feelings. I never want to do anything to break his trust in me and he's the same way. I look at it like this. He's my husband and I am submissive towards him because he's a leader. He has never steered me wrong with the decisions that he has made and I know he won’t. He literally treats me like a queen and makes sure that I want for nothing. He's made sure of that the entire time we've known each other."

"Tell me about the parents finding out you two had been married for almost five years. That was insane."

"Okay so, Jack proposed a week after I had turned 19 in my parents backyard at 1 in the morning with no ring. He was like when I get my first million, I'll get you whatever you want. So I had described what I wanted and did not mention it again. The same night he told me that it was time to release my music, he gave it to me. I most definitely cried. But I had a feeling my mom and dad knew. I don't remember what I said one time talking to her but she gave me the side eye and I quickly changed the subject. Now Jack's parents especially his mom was ready to fight him only because she wanted to be there since I remember on Jack's 16th birthday she was like you two are going to get married one day."

"That is insane for her to have known that early."

"Okay so this is crazy and I actually never told Jack this. Before I moved to Kentucky, I had a dream about a year earlier showing me walking down the aisle. I couldn't see my husband's face, but once I got closer, it was Jack so I literally had my dream show me my husband before we even met."

"That... that's powerful."

"Like he's it for me. And when I first met him in person, my breath hitched. I was like, this is really about to happen. This is the man I'm going to marry."

"Tell me about how your parents felt when you decided not to go to college and move with your boyfriend to Atlanta."

"That was a really hard conversation. They knew I wanted to move back once I graduated high school. They were concerned because I was always told as a black woman in this society that I had to work twice as hard to get half of what they have. They just wanted for me to be secure. There necessarily wasn't a doubt in their mind that Jack wouldn't take care of me but, the conversation ended with me and my mom in tears. But we made up before I left. I know that she only wants the best for me and that she was scared. She just wanted for me to be okay and I can't blame her for that."

"It's a blessing to have your parents in your corner wanting the best for you and cheering you on."

"I would not be anywhere without my parents as well as my in-laws who are my second set of parents. There have been times when I called Maggie at 3 in the morning just because I need advice on a situation and she is always there for me. Same goes for Brian. I always thank them for giving me Jack."

"You literally light up like a kid on Christmas when you talk about him. I love that."

"He's my forever. I could talk about that man for hours."

"So, what's next for the first lady of Private Garden?"

"Just bringing smiles to people's faces as I continue to reach the goals that I set for myself. I want to be remembered as an entertainer who wasn't afraid to be different and shows that being yourself is what is going to lead you to greatness."

"And there you have it. Y/N, thank you so much for coming to visit us. Don't take so long next time!"

"I promise I won't!"

Jack had just finished watching your interview with Angie Martinez and was nothing but smiles.

He was currently at home waiting for you to come back from said interview and was just taking time to reflect on how far the two of you had come.

He was interrupted by the front door opening and immediately hopped up from the couch to give you a kiss and a bone crushing hug.

"Oh, hi baby! Are you okay?" You asked as he was still tightly holding you.

"I just... words cannot literally express how much I love you and how much you mean to me."

"Aww, stink. I love you too. Always have and always will."

"I just finished watching your interview and the dream you had? Insane."

"Yeah, and we hadn't even met yet. I didn't tell you, but when we first met, I had to do a double take. I was like that's him!"

Jack had given you another kiss before leading you both to the couch to sit sliding you onto his lap.

"And the way you just trust me?"

"Because you have never steered me wrong. Marriage and career included."

"I don't deserve you."

"Stop that right now Jackman. Yes you do. I just love the way you love me and I...."

"Yes? What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you something, but I'm nervous."

"Baby, why are you nervous? You know you can come to me for anything."

"I know, but.. "

"Come on, pretty girl. Tell me."

"I think I'm ready to have a baby." You respond while looking down.

Jack tilted your chin up to look at him and smiled.

"Baby girl, that's what you're scared of telling me?"

"I just with both of our careers. I just..."

"Y/N, stop for a minute."

Jack then took your hand in his and began making small circles on the back of it.

"I would love to have mini versions of us running around. If my baby wants a baby, her wish is my command."

"Wait, really?"

"You're already gorgeous now, but I can't wait to see you carrying our baby."

"Promise to paint my toes when I can't see my feet anymore?"

"Promise. And you should know me better than that. Mrs. Harlow is not lifting a finger during her entire pregnancy."

"There's no one I would rather share this life with." You said while kissing his nose.

"Not going to lie, I teared up a little bit watching you earlier."

"Aww, why baby?"

"To hear you say you love me is one thing, but to hear you explain why and what makes our relationship work... I'm so happy you moved in across the street from me. I saw the cute little girl with the braids and I was done for. Had me wrapped around your finger ever since."

"It was your blue eyes, chubby cheeks, and freckles for me. Still remember you turning red as a tomato when I first talked to you."

"Can you blame me mamas? Gorgeous then and gorgeous now."

"We're in this together, stink. We're building an empire for our babies so they'll want for nothing."

"Sooo, can we get started now?"

"You know my answer is always going to be yes." You replied while kissing him and he proceeded to stand up while carrying you bridal style up the steps.

"Wait...babe?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Google positions we have to do in order to have a girl."

Hihi... At this point I think I came here to talk everytime I have a new idea 🙈😝 idk I just love chatting about my silly ideas with you. So how are you? Do you have a lil time to plot a fic that we won't write? 😍

Well this is the plot... what about a christmas/new year fic where this time is Auguste who sets Laurent and Damen up for a date beacuse if there's one good man for his baby brother that has to be his best friend Damianos. Hahaha okay that's all I got for now, actually I just would love a fic where Auguste tries to make them happen.. do you know any?

Kisses kisses have a beautiful week ���

Hello darling!

I love that you drop by my inbox to chat about ideas 🥰 it's wonderful to read your thoughts tbh and your ideas are not silly at all! if you ever want to write one of them, just know that you would already have me as a reader xD

Overall, I'm fine, thank you for asking. I just got over a 5 day long killer-headache and had to work today after the holiday stress with the knowledge that my final exam before my master thesis looms on the horizon. So I feel a little bit overwhelmed at the moment. The last month wasn't easy but hey, I'm on my way up to better days.

LMAO gosh I love this question. I would have loved to put in more thoughts into my fics or plots I want to explore. However, at the moment I feel as if I'm sitting in a boat with multiple holes and I can't seal them all at the same time 😅 so I have to admit that I didn't have much time for writing or reading or my blog or anything at all the past few weeks. (At this point I'd like to apologize to you for my late reply. I didn't want to make you wait. I just didn't want to write something meaningless in response to your wonderful message and then time ran through my fingers and I never had a quiet moment to sit down and write the answer you deserve. So, I decided I'd just answer you now as well as I could and encourage you to drop by more often as I now hope to have more time!).

Your plot idea is amazing! I mean you know I absolutely love Auguste Lives plots and him and Damen being best friends? Yes, please!!! Additionally, it needs to be said, that I love that this sounds very happy over all, you know? I mean Auguste in support of Lamen is something that's just good for my heart. I want them to be happy and I don't want Laurent to have to decide if he prioritizes Damen over his brother or not. So, I'm in complete and total support of your idea and I think it should totally get written!!!

Am i the only Stancy who hated that interview?😭 I like seeing celebs ship stancy, of course, but as an interview, it kinda sucked? Natalia has been asked the same questions for 6 years, and it's annoying and boring as a fan to watch (I can't even imagine how it must be for her to answer). Same with Joe K, I'm tired of his hair being brought up, for a while that was the only question he got😅 I want to to hear some new questions and answers, not the same stuff as in 2016 for the umpteenth time🙈

I wouldn’t say you’re alone. As an interview, yes it kinda sucked because Jimmy and Meg did most of the talking and Natalia was kind of getting bombarded with these really tricky questions she had to try to be diplomatic about. I don’t think she feels comfortable taking a side, she understands both sides it feels, she’s even down for ronance and even Nancy having some me time. But I did LOVE how she called out Nancy’s questionable way of getting together with Jonathan in season 2. Even Meg said it was messed up. I love how clear she was with her feelings towards that.

But in all honesty though, I don’t really consider these late night show interviews as any *serious* interviews. It’s all fun talk mostly and with Nancy’s arc, yes the most asked question is Stancy vs Jancy and I get it honestly because people watch this show for it’s heart and if there’s a love triangle you will be asked about it. Natalia probably came prepared to answer a question like that because of the time nancy spent with Steve in season 4. But Meg really did put her on the spot, poor thing lol. Meg was hilariously persistent about it so imma let this slide. As an audience, after season 4, I did want the juicy questions being asked. And that’s sadly what sells on most shows. The juicy stuff ! So yeah I get it. I also want a hundred other questions for Natalia but if you’ve got ten minutes I AM going to ask jancy vs Stancy too lol. Maybe if the season had gone differently then no, but they did show a lot of Stancy so of course people are curious about endgame romances. I did love that the clip they showed of Nancy wasn’t a scene with either Jonathan or Steve but it was a clip of her taking down Vecna. Which was awesome.
