A Tale of Spirits Status and Other Updates (Long Post)

I've gotten a lot of questions about A Tale of Spirits and its hiatus status over the past few days (months lol). I've been mulling over this post for a while now, avoiding it if I'm honest, but I've gotten to a point where even I can't avoid the writing on the wall.

So, let's start with what's holding me up. Over the last ten-eleven months, I've been dealing with a nerve issue in my wrists and hands (both, if you can believe it). Now it's nothing super serious (we haven't had any surgery talks, thank God), but it bothers me constantly throughout the day, and having an office job doesn't really help. It's crazy to go through some of these older Tumblr posts because my hands were bothering me even then, but I didn't want to admit it.

Long story short, I feel like I'm caught in this...loop of trying to heal. I'll have really good, consecutive days, and when I think I'm on the right track, something happens, and I'm pulled right back into it. It's frustrating, demoralizing, and terrifying all at once. I try not to spiral into worst-case scenarios with this whole thing, but my hands are numbing while I'm typing this. So....yeah, it's slowed my writing practically to a halt. I can bang out a couple hundred words here and there and focus on one-offs since they don't feel so...daunting, but chaptered anything mentally makes my hands twitch. My long sessions are gone at the moment and this leads me to that writing on the wall I mentioned earlier.

I don't know when A Tale of Spirit will return.

Man, that hurts to type. ATOS has been a part of my life for almost two years now. I've grown so much from this story, and my writing has evolved so much from this story. I have so much fun with ATOS. I mean, that's the point of fanfic, but I have fun with ATOS. I go back and reread parts, and I laminate past narrative choices as if those words are written in stone. I snicker while working out dialogue and really (and I mean really) let loose with action choices and experiment.

Hell, I have AUs of this AU on my drive lol. I owe a lot of my growth and confidence to ATOS. I mean, I read every comment and every Tumblr message (and I mean every comment). The support and love this story has received makes me believe that I'm not as terrible of a writer as I thought, that I might actually hack it in the literary world, so it's devastating that I can't put all my energy into this or my personal work.

To be honest, I'm still halfway in denial. I know I'm going to finish this story eventually. I love it too much, but I can finally admit that I'm not sure when that 'eventually' will be. Geez, I should've written this a while ago, but denial is a blinding thing.

I tackle writing when I can, but the nerve thing has thoroughly pulled me into a slump.

I'm going to update ATOS to say indefinite hiatus and put this same message on AO3.

I'm not saying goodbye to ATOS. I was deep in my unposted arcs before all of...this reached a peak even I couldn't ignore. I was really doing something with April, Zuko, and Suki (fun dynamic, by the way). Azula's been fun to play with, and angry, fed-up turtles have been a challenge in a half, so I want you guys to see that one day.

So, there it is. I know this is closure for some of you, and you all deserve to know what's going on with ATOS. I know this update will be a relief for some of you because now, there's no more guessing. The dreaded 'indefinite' has been typed and sealed in digital ink (dramatic, I know).

I'm going to leave it here because I don't know how to end this post. I'll be around, lurking in possible (short) one-shots and slowly chipping away at ATOS. So, until then, rest, rehabilitation, and copious amounts of books and music to listen to.

See you soon.

“That’s because she is, and you’re just too- Hey! Dick, dang it, not again-“

“We can walk!“

Dick ignores the chicks from where he’s got them clutched in his arms and makes his way resolutely down the hallway.

His owlet is right. Bruce will be back soon, Dick just has to make sure the chicks stay warm and safe until his return.

He can do that.

aka.

Tim, Jason and Dick are waiting for Bruce to return from a meeting at WE when the electricity dies during a snowstorm.

That wouldn't be quite so bad if Dick wasn't an overprotective older brother.

So, update on that one post i made (that i did NOT expect to get so much attention) about wanting to write a fic about monk and survivor's parents and third sibling... yes I'm working on it!

It's taking a while though since I keep procrastinating and I want this first chapter to be as perfect as possible. But because I'm feeling nice, here's a little snip of the beginning of the first chapter, immediately after monk's intro!

The fic will be titled "The Residual Pup"

any constructive criticism is welcome, I don't have anyone to help me proofread rn.

More yapping about my fic below cut, if anyone's curious

Yes, the slugs will have dialogue, they have their own special language in my headcanon.

This fic will be primarily focused on family dynamics and might be a little.. "fierce" in terms of family relationships. This is a crumbling rat family and its not all cupcakes and rainbows... sorry, I like angst. I'm not 100% sure how harsh I wanna make this but just incase, if you find mildly abusive, controlling or broken families triggering, I would not recommend. this'll be mostly based off my own experience with my own family.

in my HC, Slugcats have a simple naming convention, similar to the way they're named in the campaigns, its usually names given by their family or peers based off their appearance or occupation/what they're known for.

The parents are named "Father Coral" for the pink slug and "Father Ivory" for the white slug. The third Sibling was simply called "the Blue One" before the incident where they were named "the Residual (pup)" after.

Most pups are named "the (Color) One" before they grow up and the slugs around them end up referring to them by what they're mostly known for. There is no official agreed name for each slugcat so usually some slugcats end up having multiple (nick)names.

Think that's all I want to say without spoiling the entire chapter... If you have questions, feel free to ask :D

#rain world #slugcat #rw fanfic #fanfiction update #ao3 fanfic #rw third sibling #rw salsa rosa #and for anyone new and wondering- yes the parents are gay in my hc!!!! we love the dads #also opinions on the names? are they any good?#The Residual Pup fic #<- tag for the fic and for update searches #text post

Can you do a jealous Tim fic?? Chris comes back to ask for a second chance and Tim gets jealous

I made a combination fic with this prompt and some inspiration from @she-ismysun-archive I hope you both enjoy this, it’s a little different than what you asked but it’s still got Jealous / Drunk Tim + bestie Angela

Drunken Calls

Preview

Tim is a creature of habit, finding solace in the predictability of his daily routine. He thrives on stability and hates any form of uncertainty or confusion. For Tim, the comfort of knowing what will happen next brings a sense of control and security to his life. This is why he very much finds the situation that he finds himself in to be tiring and extremely annoying.

Tim's current situation with Lucy introduces a whole new layer of confusion and complexity to his life. Her mere presence has an undeniable impact on him, effortlessly capturing his attention and stirring emotions he's not accustomed to. Tim struggles to understand how someone like Lucy can have such a profound effect on him, disrupting the carefully constructed order he's maintained in his life.

The way Lucy effortlessly controls his attention and makes his heart skip a beat perplexes Tim, leaving him feeling out of control and vulnerable. He hates it. Despite him hating this confusion, the one thing he hates the most is his jealousy of Lucy and Chris.

It’s come to my attention that Keep Your Face Always Towards the Sun has reached over 200k words. Which I was not aware was a lot until I looked up how many pages in a book that was.

It’s 800.

So. That’s a lot. Uh, I’ve got the next chapter written, but I’m still working on the one after that. Otherwise I’d say, let me just update this and have a whole to do about it in the end notes.

Guys, I feel like I need to do something to celebrate this. And thank everyone for reading 200k words of my writing. So, what do y’all think I should do?

So both have a part two with an alt prompt, so...

The fics in question...

A Song On Repeat: A time loop fic where Time teaches Legend the Song Of Time with little intention for Legend to ever use it, but he does. The update will be an aftermath chapter w/ some angst.

Hiding Behind Plaster And Ceramics: An early LU fic where Legend, in all his avoidant attachment glory, avoids attachment by being a jerk. He gets sick and Twilight(Green Link) finds out that Legend is actually the Red Link from Hytopia(Triforce Heroes). The update will be a continuation.

#linked universe #lu legend #lu twilight #lu warriors #lu wild #lu wind #lu sky #lu hyrule #lu Time #lu four #linkeduniverse #I'm indecisive you choose #fanfiction update #whump fics #the other will still be updated soon #I just want to know which one y'all want first

Title: Skin to Scales Chapter: 2/3 Chapter Word Count: 7380 Rating: Explicit Additional Tags: Oral Sex, Anal Sex, First Time, Bottom Kaiba Seto Chapter Summary:

Joey goes full dragon mode, so Kaiba treats him the way he believes a dragon should be treated. OR Joey turns up the charm and watches Seto unravel right before his eyes. He regrets this immediately.

Please check the endnotes of the chapter for content/trigger warnings if you want to. This chapter is much more intense than the first one.

This is for the Day 3 prompt "Charm." The final chapter will be posted a little late for the week, but I just need the time for actually getting it written.

And since this fic is set post-DOMA, we get to talk about this moment:

Going on Hiatus.

I've been completely buried with work right now, having to work late into the evening/early hours of the morning multiple times this week alone. As a result I've just have had no time to work on SGPrime comic pages...

I'm so sorry, but I have to put things on pause...

I might post the odd picture on my other blog, but as comic pages are much more time consuming I can't keep the SG Prime series going right now.

SURPRISE!!!

Chapter 21: Despair, after a 6 month hiatus, is up!! I will warn you all that this chapter is one of the heights of hardship for this fic so there will be… sad writing. I haven’t completed proof read it, mainly because I was so excited to get this out to you all, so there may be some grammatical errors. But otherwise, I am healthy enough to start writing again so expect more frequent updates!

Ah ha! I found a Jason Todd / Red Hood x Reader idea in the margin of my notebook. From early July of last year lol

It's based off of the Batman: Wayne Family Adventures webtoon. Specifically where Jason has to wear the Discowing suit. And I need to write it 😆
