Ohh.. I re-read The souls of the lost last night and I fell even more in love with than on my first read. It’s such a great story, your writing is so good. I love the way you wrote the characters and their dynamics and the atmosphere that you build through the whole story. Truly amazing! Plustre artwork is absolutely stunning and beautiful!
i'm so sorry i missed your message and am so late to reply!
but aww thank you again! i'm so glad you enjoyed it as a reread. it's one of my personal favorite fics i've written so far so i'm super happy every time i see people enjoying it in any way (:
and yes, deya (@andreil-minyasten) did such fantastic work with the art, she really captured the scene and i'm really glad she was my art partner for the big bang

Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.
Idek if this is serious or ironic honestly

So I finally managed to read your fic and I have to say it’s truly marvellous! I loved the universe you created, the characters and their dynamics. It was so interesting to read your story. It was funny, suspenseful and slightly melancholic with a hint of pining. A great mix! The quotes of the book fit so well and the art was so so beautiful. I’ll gather my thoughts (and possibly re-read) and will leave a more coherent in the few days. Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us!
Ahh thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! I’m glad the quotes worked/added to the story despite the very different source context lmao. Deya did such a great job on the art, I couldn’t be happier, she really brought out that scene and the related quotes.
Thank you again for reading and your comments!! It’s very kind of you!

Hej. I just read the summary for your Big Bang fic. It’s sounds super interesting and I already love the concept of angels and gargoyles and I am so so excited to read your story. Anyway I looked up the book you based your AU on and I it seems really lovely and I ordered it right away. : ) Cannot wait for it to arrive in a few weeks. Just wanted to let you know. Have a lovely weekend. Take care.
Hi! Ahh thank you, I hope you enjoy the fic! And I’m sorry it’s all 35k in one go, I really should’ve split it into manageable chapters. hindsight.
And Pilkey’s book!! I have such a soft spot for gargoyles because of that story lmao. I hope you enjoy it when it gets to you! Both the full story and the illustrations.
Have a great weekend yourself!

the souls of the lost weren’t really alone
My contribution for the @aftgbigbang! Thank you @andreil-minyasten for the amazing art, @ahorizontalline for beta-ing, and Emma for French help!
The title and some sections of the fic are from Dav Pilkey's God Bless the Gargoyles, which was the inspiration for this fic/au.
Pairing: Jeremy Knox / Jean Moreau
Word Count: ~35,000
Warnings/Tags: M. Urban fantasy au, referenced/implied rape/non-con, past rape/non-con, past child abuse, canon typical violence, minor character death(s), human trafficking, fbi agent!jeremy, angel!jeremy, gargoyle!jean, hurt/comfort
Summary: In a joint-op with the infamous Charleston field office known as Foxhole, Special Agent Jeremy Knox and his partner Alvarez travel to South Carolina to investigate the highly exclusive illegal supernatural fight rings catering to the mundane elite run by Riko Moriyama.
As Foxhole readies to catch the notorious vampire and leader to the expansive crime family's U.S. branch, Jeremy can't afford distractions. But when trying to clear his head one night, a man with desolate gray eyes won't leave his thoughts.
Read on AO3

aftgexchange fall 2020 | @aftgexchange
for @nikothespoonklepto
A Jeaneil AU where:
Mary died earlier on in their run when they were passing through Marseilles, on Halloween night
Little Nathaniel ran and hid in a graveyard, where little Jean found him while he was trick and treating with some friends
And then Jean brought the homeless kid who couldn’t speak French to his exy club because he’s a weirdo
(The club totally adopted Nathaniel)
Papa Moreau also totally figured out who Nathaniel was and kept him as a bargaining chip for later needs
As fate would have it, the later needs did happen two national championships and a gold medal later
Jean learned a lot of things about his family that day
And then Jean learned that Nathaniel’s father wanted him dead, and that he was probably already six feet underground as his own father yelled above his teenage screams that he should be glad he wasn’t the one being shipped away across the Atlantic
Years passed with Jean toe-ing a fine line between his law studies and the ironically more underground business his parents were slowly pushing on him, and the quite energy consuming task of keeping track with his best friends’ ongoing passion for exy – even though he himself hadn’t played again ever since Nathaniel was gone
Until one day Nathaniel’s face reappeared in front of his eyes, older now, a young adult like him, and the number 3 tattooed on his face
And at that moment, Jean figured that maybe his father’s legacy could come into handy

foxes play never have I ever
anon i am so sorry this took so long!! the writer’s block is starting to come off, but i was also pretty daunted by this prompt because i’ve seen so many versions from other people and i just didn’t know if i could measure up. i’m gonna try! also, i swear all of this is from my own brain so if there are similarities with other people i am very sorry i promise i was not plagiarizing. this does get more interesting toward the end, so bear with me pls
the foxes spend the first week of summer break together at a small lake house allison says her parents forgot about
“imagine being so rich you forget about a house” “your mother is literally a mma fighter with a net worth in the millions” “we only have one house” “in MANHATTAN”
they spend their days hiking and swimming and their nights drinking
it’s nicky’s idea to play never have i ever (it always is)
neil has never played before, and he’s excited enough that andrew decides to stick around and see what happens
because of the nature of their group, nicky says they can skip people in the circle if no one wants to ask any questions
they start out pretty normal, like “never have i ever shoplifted” “never have i ever been caught cheating on a test” etc etc
as they get drunker, the questions and the ensuing conversations get wackier
“never have i ever stayed awake for more than 48 hours straight”
neil’s the only one who drinks (andrew got to like 30 hours once), and the foxes are beyond alarmed for him
“how is your brain even working?”
andrew: “it’s not”
sometimes they’ll target each other with specific questions, like nicky goes “never have i ever kissed a vixen before” and aaron glares at him while he downs a shot
when dan asks about developing crushes on strangers, neil is more than confused because he’s never even found anyone attractive until andrew, so it’s kinda wild to imagine falling in love with someone you walk past once
but neil is having the time of his life, he’s gently buzzed and surrounded by his friends and he’s laughing the loudest he has in a while
the fireplace is making his hair glow in all these different shades of bronze and red and his eyes are lighting up and his smile is just so big and happy
andrew cannot stand it
the next time the circle goes around, andrew starts talking before nicky can
“never have i ever been to switzerland”
the question’s surprisingly tame but the foxes are glad he’s participating, so allison, kevin, neil, and nicky drink (he and erik took a weekend trip there once)
as the game continues, andrew keeps on asking about places, but they slowly get more and more specific
“never have i ever been to belyounech”
nicky has to google where that is on his phone, but neil’s just staring at andrew and beginning to regret detailing his journeys with his mother
because andrew never forgets. never.
so of course he would remember the name of a tiny seaside town in morocco neil and his mom spent a single night in a good five years ago
neil is torn between being amused because he knows he did something to prompt this, glad andrew really listens to him when he talks, and childish annoyance
“never have i ever faked my identity” “OKAY ANDREW’S DISQUALIFIED”
andrew is just that petty and completely whipped for his boyfriend
nicky, thoroughly sloshed, asks “never have i ever kissed someone of the same gender”
every. single. fox. drinks. (except for aaron, who’s now comatose on the rug)
his complicated relationship with sexuality will be analyzed in a different post at some point in the future
nicky, thoroughly screaming, cannot get enough air in to interrogate everyone
kevin just waves his grey goose in the air like “yeah you bet i’m just THAT irresistible”
“was it jeremy?” “i wish” “wHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!” “I MISS, I SAID I MISS, I MISS JEREMY A LOT-”
dan and matt shrug because they were just trying to figure out their sexuality like normal teenagers
allison acts like this should have been public knowledge, but renee is blushing and they’re very determinedly Not Looking At Each Other
neil is intrigued but he doesn’t say anything
nicky, who has now slightly recovered, is absolutely losing his mind and on a roll and wants to milk this moment
“never have i ever kissed another fox”
dan, matt, neil, and andrew drink
this is unsurprising
but then SO DO ALLISON AND RENEE
and that is how the foxes find out they’re dating
