First chapter from Gaara's POV lets GOOOO!!!!

VI • Cups • Freesia

Skyscrapers blot out the sky. Stars dance in streetlights. People bustling at all hours have made an ill-fitting enclosure.

And he knows no respite from this cage. But maybe he can share it instead.

Falling Fast Through Fragmented Universes [GaaLee Alien AU]

Heya folks! So I’ve spent the past 3 months writing chapter 3 of this AU, originally in the form of an anthology of moments throughout Gaara & Lee’s first week of living together, with each standalone story having its own title.

Once I hit 12k words with it however, I decided to split the stories into their own separate chapters. The 4th chapter will be posted tomorrow. I aim to post one of them every 3-5 days depending on my schedule, and I have 5/6 completed already. Here’s the first one. Be sure to reblog to spread the word, and enjoy! 🩵

Luminescent. Radiant. Resplendent.
Bright and brilliant in all ways.
A spotlight beautiful and entirely unwelcome, to an anglerfish luring its prey.

I think there's something that needs to be said about encouraging readers to leave feedback.

For me it's not about "tell me my writing is amazing and stroke my ego"

It's more about "please engage with me so that I can experience your joy secondhand and foster a connection with you"

I understand that not everyone wants this in their reading experience, some people are shy and a million other reasons why maybe someone wouldn't want to engage and that's perfectly fine!

But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

On encouraging reblogs —

I understand that not everyone is comfortable reblogging, especially explicit content. This is ok!

But just consider that the only reason you were able to enjoy a fic or fanart is because someone else shared it, and by not sharing it yourself you are potentially robbing someone else of the opportunity to enjoy it as much as you did.

As OPs our reach only goes so far and this website relies on reblogs in order for anything to truly get seen by a wider audience.

So that's really it! That's why I encourage these two things at the end of every story I post. Not because I'm trying to be demanding and "make people feel bad" if they don't do it.

I know most other social media sites encourage mindless content consumption and that's just the way of the world nowadays, but I am from a time when community was at the heart of fandom and I just don't want to lose that.

Just an update about my GaaLee Alien!AU fanfic Falling Fast Through Fragmented Universes:

I’ve finished the second to last part of the chapter that was really important to the story! Only the last section is left to write and you all have a bunch of mini fics in one chapter to read through, nearing 9k words.

Thank you for your patience. It has taken a lot of planning to get to this point in the fic as it creates a lot of really fun setup for the main adventure! 🤩🥰

Here are some goodies you all, including story title reveals and a short snippet under the cut that I’m very happy with!

3x story title reveals:

• Nightjar

• Pink Pumpkin Party

• Neji’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Snippet time: Nightjar

Holocene [Human] Era calendar year: 12,024. Beijing, China. 7:00PM.

Lee has an eyemask that when freshly washed and dried atop his boiler in the airing cupboard, is warm and soft and comfortable over Gaara’s eyes. The darkness underneath is all-encompassing, and the early evening hour means that the volume of the TV does not have to be turned down just yet. Lee had shown him how to use something called a YouTube on a whim before he left for work.

Currently Gaara was being swaddled by the music of a desert ambience video at dusk. Rushing wind and the harsh cries of birds settling down to sleep, shrieking owls, and the scuttling of animals over shifting sand, all greeted his ears like a gentle, familial kiss on the cheek.

Gaara could almost smell the sun-baked aridisol; herbal and dusty. Could feel the particles suspended within the air drying and coating his tongue, and the brisk, freezing temperature drop as the sun dipped below canyon walls. The electromagnetic pull within the softness of sand spilling between his fingertips like water.

It did not feel like an oasis when he was living on his home planet. Gaara was brought forth into his world through blood and through pain, and buried in his bones the old songs of his childhood were waking around him, as the desert came alive at night.

Homesickness floored him with longing so intense that it built as a deep ache in his chest. A raw, still-healing wound prying itself open and clutching at his throat with a sudden, choking despair that took his breath away.

It hurts.

It hurts in its nostalgia, in the knowledge that he will not be able to return to the chattering, trilling, howling environment of which he was born into. At least, not for now. Not for the foreseeable future, not unless he’s careful, but the risk is still too dire, too soon to act upon.

A familiar pressure awoke behind his eyes, shifted in his guts as Shukaku stirred within the embrace of his memories. Gaara could almost imagine it raising its head, sniffing at the air in confusion. His nerves fizzled with anticipation and he held bated breath, before it stretched out sharp, pawed feet and rolled over to settle back down into a deep and dreamless sleep.

Gaara was suddenly made aware of how lonely he felt. He half-expected the tears that welled, creating a film behind his eyelids, to dry out as he opened them, athough the material of the mask ruined the illusion just a little.

He misses his siblings, he misses the biome of his home, he misses his Sand with a soul-deep loss and desperation that he had only ever experienced as a grieving child, and then again in his late teenage years. Aside from the few essential items he possessed, his clothing and the book he carried in his small satchel, his Sand was the only truly meaningful thing that he had left from his homeworld.

He had carried it throughout his entire life.

And now it is gone.

In theory, he could create more. If he were to venture downstairs and cause some small amount of destruction, limited to whatever soil or stone was available from the reach of the main entrance of this block of flats. But it wouldn’t be the same. It wouldn’t smell of home; of clay and blood and iron, the minerals and dust of creatures long dead and eroded away, by the elements or by his own hand.
