love your ruby/ballet au so much!!! im not really a follower of rugby or ballet, but i did play cricket for a while and the anxieties about your body resonate so much with me. but i was wondering...you mentioned a while ago that you had a national rugby league au wip, but both damen and laurent were supposed to be on the team, is this a different version of that or are these two different works altogether?

Thank you anon, I'm so happy you're enjoying it!!! @penguinmerchant and I had a blast writing it out :) As for my NRL AU, you're right, it's a separate fic - you're very sharp-eyed! At this point I should probably just post the ~3k that I have since I haven't touched it for ages and don't know if it ever will become a full-fledged fic of its own, but hope springs eternal I suppose...... We shall see what happens, myself most of all

Damen said, “I’m not sure what it is you’re asking me to do.” “It’s simple enough,” said Laurent. “Come to my games, cheer me on in the stands. Be my date to a few networking events. And most importantly, let the press see how blissful domesticity with you has softened me.”

Putting the term "male gaze" on top of the fridge until everyone remembers that it refers to a cinematographic trend and not the act of looking at things while being a man

Like a man possessed, I got to drawing this Rockstar AU for a character who literally never appears in the books beyond a few mentions. (I partially blame Kearwrights for encouraging this madness.)

Passionate about music, Auggie sets out to become a Rockstar and take care of his little brother, Laurent. The two are inseparable. Being a genius, Laurent even helps with some tracks and gets credited for his contributions. Everything is great—until Auguste overdoses and dies tragically.

Did their uncle, the CEO of a famous record label, have anything to do with it? Who’s to say.

But Laurent knew his brother was clean.

hi i love your writing !!!!! its so vivid & evocative and ur characterization is always on point. may i ask how long you have been writing for and if you have any advice for writers ?

Thank you anon!!!! You're very kind 💕 I have been writing since 2013... which makes it almost 12 years? Crazy to think about. Any advice I gave would probably just echo what a lot of others have already said -- read widely, both fic and published works; read critically, working to figure out exactly why something worked for you or why it didn't; find fellow writers/creatives to chat with! Both about writing but also to read and critique/analyse fic or fiction together, truly one of my favourite activities ever and one that I think does help to hone your own craft. I've entrapped several friends into book club and/or fic club now and it's always a good time!

THIS PIC that Candy drew, it's AMAZING! The knife, the smirks, the little heart next to Laurent's name...it's perfect. And there is NOTHING hotter than holding a blade to your lover/mortal enemy's throat. This is from a scene in Black Holes and Revelations, by the way.

pros of 50c flat fare public transport as implemented by my city council: it's 50c to get anywhere. Remarkable. Glorious. Do you know how long my 15$ top-ups last me now??? It's so long

cons of the 50c flat fare: it's just not an amount I feel virtuous about saving. The bus shaves ten minutes off the half hour walk back home from campus and when it cost 2.55 or perhaps 3.55 during rush hour I could & would do the hill-ish walk and feel good about my health but also about saving 2.55 or perhaps 3.55 depending on whether it was rush hour. It turns out my health alone is not enough of a motivating factor to walk when I can take the BUS for FIFTY CENTS

I can't help but imagine Laurent complaining sometimes and pushing him away, telling him to go take a bath when Damianos is too sweaty 😂
