we’re setting each other’s spirits free

His gaze sparkles with amusement to have you squirm for him. The former geo archon has only taken off his gloves to touch you, and his caress makes you think of heated stone while he strips you, but you stop thinking at all when he slides fingers into your mouth and between your legs, closing a circuit of stimulation. He presses his immaculate suit against you, the textures of silk screaming the power imbalance, the pins biting like an eager lover. His only sign of lost composure is that he's humping against your leg a little through his dress pants - while he uses that ancient voice to make you *crumble*. - 📚 (learning curve anon, wishing you a lovely wet Zhongli)

what a lovely snippet to wake up to 💕💓💦

learning curve anon back w the dom!zhongli 😤😤 "His only sign of lost composure is that he's humping against your leg a little through his dress pants" yes!!!! "his caress makes you think of heated stone" POETRY!!

anon i adore your writing!! i been saving your other ask just in case insp hits but you beat me to it and given it to me once again 😌😌bouta label these learning curve 1.1 and 1.2 now lol

all i have to add is that he loves the way you fall apart, your body pliant to his touch and your mouth welcoming his fingers as you suck on them desperately, hoping that you will please him enough to finally relieve the tension between your legs. When he pulls his fingers away, you whine and chase after them, making him chuckle lowly.

"have you been good?" he asks, taking the fingers you have so kindly sucked on to finally curl them around where you want most, and you buck your hips in response, pressing your sex forward and hoping it will finally break his composure and have him take you already. Zhongli only grits his teeth and grunts, his fingers gripping into your thighs to hold you still, though you feel his hard-on through his pants, pressing onto the side of your leg. your mouth waters at the thought of it, heavy and thick, and it doesn't matter where he puts it, but you want his cock in you to fill you up.

"please," you say instead. "let me touch you." You reach out with your hands to tug at the sleeves of his arms by either of your sides, hoping he will let you feel any of his skin on you. you yearn for his palms pressed onto you, fingers tracing teasing lines--

"oh?" Zhongli says, his hand sliding down your naked thigh, and deprived as you are, it is enough to make you shiver in anticipation. "what have you done to deserve that, my dear?" His voice hits deep into your core, and you toss and turn your head, tears prickling at your eyes from want.

Zhongli thinks you are so pretty like this, and his eyes drink in the sight of you bare in front of him while he is fully clothed, dominant, and in power. He has never sought dominance nor power; as a god he has never been lacking in it. but you make him drunk on it, on the sight of you so submissive to his every word, every touch, that if you were to be under him forever, wanting and open, he would think that would be a fine way to spend all the time in the world.

Rags show me ur *poses* sexy writing process >:3c (if u wanna ofc xx)

The fact that you’re interested in it at all is probably the most thrilling thing I’ve heard in weeks?? Thank you??

So my writing process is deeply unsexy and disorganized (I’m trying outlining now that I’m venturing into the deeply terrifying land of slow-burn longfic, pls pray 4 me). Like so deeply unsexy I call the way I write Frankenstein-ing lol.I’ll be referencing ’whatever a moon has always meant’ (moon) ’if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float’ (ocean) and my infrequently mentioned x-files-ish dragon age au (XFAU) and how I wrote/am writing them!

So, usually I get smacked with something first–a line of dialogue, or an image, or I’ll see/hear something and go ‘YES.’ For Ocean, it was Eustacia coming home during a rain storm, and an anon request that I build on a drabble of Asra getting pegged, sun/shadow imagery, and this line that popped in my head burned the dinner I was cooking to write down: “He’s the sun, and he burns away the shadows she hides herself in.”

For Moon, Robin (@pinkrobins) said something about killing for mutual masturbation ft Julian, Julian asking Eustacia if she’s ever killed someone, and the lines “I carry your heart / I carry it in mine” from [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by ee cummings. XFAU was born because I was watching the X-files, then I imagined my Warden Amell and Alistair hanging out at hotel pool, and an image of Morrigan and my Hawke (it’s a big fat clusterfuck of an au) hanging out in the rafters of an abandoned big box store.

Usually I have additional scenes to go with them (the entire ending sequence of Moon, Eustacia stopping in the middle of sex to get Asra to look at her in Ocean), so then I’ll go digging through my brain or my tags (insp, aesthetic, quotes) for more inspiration.

After that, I start writing out chunks in note apps on my phone, because it’s handy and my music is right there (THE MUSIC IS A BIG PART OF MY WRITING). I prefer Evernote and WriterPlus, and when I start something new, I make a new folder in the relevant oc’s folder. I have a lot of OC’s.

Here’s a screenshot of Moon’s folder:

You’ll notice that: #1, it took more than a month to write (probably 2 or 3, Moon really kicked my ass, not to mention my private life and the climate of the fandom was really tumultuous around then). And #2, it had a different title. I very rarely have concrete titles at the beginning.

I’ll write the bulk of the story in my notes–some of the ones in that screenshot were easily 2k words.

THEN I move onto a grown-up word processor and start sewing up the meaty chunks with connective tissue plot structure.

On Moon and Ocean, I used Microsoft word (now Apache OpenOffice bc my MSWord license ran out RIP me), but with XFAU and a Fallout 3 longfic I’ve been picking at for literal years, I use Scrivener bc it’s a really vast program with a ton of ridiculous features.

(Please note, this doc is ridiculously old, it’s just an example of how Scrivener works in the hands of an amateur, and how upsettingly cluttered I am lol.)

I go into my notes and re-type everything. EVERYTHING. It’s annoying and cumbersome and a huge time-sink, but it’s much easier to feel the flow, and I can do on the spot alterations, additions, and edits. 

So if something isn’t working (Moon had a passage where Eustacia washed Julian’s hair, and Ocean had one where Asra asked what she did to earn the money she brought home when her), I cut it out immediately and dump it in a scrap document for cannibalizing later. I always save my scrap docs, and they end up being either as big, or bigger than the finished work.

I don’t have a beta, so once I’m finished I back off for a couple of hours and do literally anything else until I can come back and scan for typos or missed words. Then, because I’m an impatient bitch lol, I usually go ahead and post after a last minute decision on a title (usually poetry or lyrics bc I’m unoriginal: Ocean - All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar, and Moon - [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by ee cummings), IMMEDIATELY getting off tumblr so I don’t stay up all night waiting for feedback.

And that’s it! Tip-to-tail, that’s how I Frankenstein my “proper” oneshots lol. For other things, like ask prompts or anything under/around 2k words, I write stream of consciousness in one go over one-three hours, then do some Lite Frankenstein-ing before giving it the green light.

It’s probably not helpful even a little bit, but it’s an evolving mess, and I hope it satisfied any curiosity you had! Thank you again!! 😙😙
