I am GOGGLING at "mean terrible couples therapy story" but I'll be honest I am absolutely raring for mayhaps a snippet of "le cirque des cauchemars" :) Please feel free to ramble about either or both because I am 👂👂👂👀👀👀👀 :)))))))))))
THANK YOU I would love NOTHING more than to ramble about both <333
I answered another ask about the couples therapy fic here but I'll give you some more!! Fun fact: this concept came into being bc I saw that post that's like "who wants to go to couples therapy with me until they realize we're not actually together" and the brainworms made me go "haha. what if jon and tim" followed by "aha ha. what if sad." Here's a snippet!
It feels, in the most literal sense possible, like a breaking point. The realization cracks through Jon like a fault line the moment the word monster leaves Tim’s lips and he sees it mirrored in his eyes; if everything wasn’t already fragmented before, it certainly is now. Cracked beyond repair, like his grandmother’s good china, like every other warped and twisted thing in this building.
Putting in actual time and effort into finishing this fic probably isn't in the cards for me anytime soon, BUT I know exactly with what words it's going to end, and if my intuition is correct they'll make people very mad at me :) so I'm extremely excited to make that happen eventually!
And then there's Le Cirque des Cauchemars, my night circus au. My most beloved fic to daydream about and the main reason I won't be moving straight on to the couples therapy fic after I finish my current WIP. I feel like I've expressed this before but this au makes me so excited because the two universes mesh SO WELL. Every time I fantasize about the plot something new falls into place, and trying to mimic Erin Morgenstern's style a bit is just so so much fun :)
For context: the premise is that instead of Morgenstern's Circus of Dreams, we have the Circus of Nightmares, in which this world's versions of all the entities reside and feed on the fear of their spectators. Jon, who has been plagued by other people's nightmares for as long as he can remember, sees the Circus arrive in town, and with it, a chance to get to the root of the fear he accidentally inflicts every night. In doing so, however, he gets even more tangled in a web so large he cannot see the whole of it. Here's one of my favorite bits from what I've got written so far!
“They’re not even letting anyone in,” someone says, breathless. “It opens at night, who’s ever heard of such a thing? There isn’t even a gate, just a sign hanging on the fence. It said—oh, what was it—opens at nightfall, closes at dawn. And there was something else, too, a title. Something like cauchemars, I think it was. Strange as anything.”
Jon, whose childhood education had placed a particular emphasis on his understanding of languages, snaps his book shut. “Kindly keep your voices down,” he bites out, and turns on his heel and leaves the library. 
I am literally so excited about this story. Every time someone gives me an opportunity to talk about it I start vibrating I cannot WAIT for this to be the primary fic I'm writing :)) Thank you so much for asking about it!!

alright so we’ve got disco elysium brainworms something awful. and i have not written fic in a very long time and i also feel a weird sense of guilt, like i should Not be writing fic bc i should be working on my Secret Personal Project instead but i uh.
really wanna write DE fic now omfg. maybe I’ll attempt a longfic for NaNo this year?? I’d love to write something in the style of the game, with Harry’s rich mental world and all haha. I’m definitely gonna need to complete another playthru or two before then, for Research and all, and to solidify what kind of Harry i wanna write since my completionist tendencies had him a lil all over the place…
except the thing is that i uhhhhh i got no ideas for a longfic!! the only thing i have solid is that i Will be writing kim kitsuragi as trans bc there is a severe dearth of trans kim fic out there and the dream that i had that inspired me to buy this game, without knowing literally anything about it, had trans kim in it and i have latched onto this hc with a fervor.
anyways. i cant promise that i’ll actually write it but!!! if any of y’all out there have a Burning Idea for what you wanna see in a DE fic!! hit me tf up bc ya boi needs Inspo!!!
