#you made me want to write maid of amsterdam marc POV

[le-chevalier-au-lion]

hello! hope family outings are as good as they can be! for your consideration:

1. Write a scene from miss doris thalassia waters in another character’s POV (honestly just fascinated to get a glimpse into marc's mind!)

10. Is there a character or ship you'd love to write for, but haven't yet?

34. What is your favorite fic to get comments/messages on?

hii, it's going a little better than i thought it'd, so small victories!

Write a scene from miss doris thalassia waters in another character’s POV

(oooooooh boy. that was tough. mdtw's marc was never meant to be a POV character at all and i struggled to go there but here it is)

Dovi says those things sometimes.

Like the average sea temperature in Catalonia in May will be 17.7°C when you get there, so we have to warm up your tank to get you used to it again before realizing it sounded close to gibberish. Or, with a smile, small and unthreatening, the way Marc learned humans do, sometimes—you’ll be strong enough for an open sea swim in a few weeks, before correcting himself, counting the moons.

Dovi talks a lot. Marc has gone through years without caring for the finer points of human language, but it’s sort of impossible to ignore it with Dovi, who talks and talks and talks. About what they’re doing today, and why, and if Marc can tell him how he’s feeling.

“Are you excited?” Dovi asks.

Marc traces the shape of the words with his mouth. Excited. Something twists inside his chest, with teeth. He shouldn’t say it, probably. Dovi doesn’t feel like the type to twist the knife, and yet—

“Yes,” he answers, flatly, clumsily.

Dovi laughs, with a small, close-mouthed smile—unthreatening. “Yeah. Me too.”

This is the worst of the things that Dovi says. Like he’ll get Marc home. Like he really, really wants to do it. Like he’s fine with letting him go.

10. Is there a character or ship you'd love to write for, but haven't yet?

casey stoner. he's myyyy neurotic surprisingly PR shrewd babygirl. and so casey x valentino (shenenigans at 2009 PI after casey's illness) and my deranged casey x pecco thesis are calling for me. but it's hard to get him right

34. What is your favorite fic to get comments/messages on?

not to sound like that, but currently did you run here?

i'm just a baby about longer projects, and it's surreal to get any feedback on it
