Tag Game:
Twenty Questions for Fic Writers:
Thanks to @voxofthevoid for tagging me 💜💜💜 I loved all your answers btw. (also sorry I haven't been doing a lot of tag games lately; if I don't get the notification at the exact moment I have both time and motivation, it tends to not get done...😅)
How many works do you have on AO3?
Currently I have 87 posted fics!
What's your total AO3 word count?
589 678
What fandoms do you write for?
Currently I am actively writing for: Blue exorcist, Twisted Wonderland, Bleach, and Haikyuu!!
I also have fics posted for: BNHA, JJK, Fire Force, and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
I am planning to post more fics in some of those fandoms again, and I have more I would like to eventually write for :)
What are your top five fics by kudos?
This was interesting for me; since I don't usually organize my stats by kudos...lol!
United - BNHA Hogwarts AU (first fic I started posting on AO3...kinda surprised because I haven't touched this one in almost a year...I just really lost a lot of my motivation to work on anything related to HP, however loosely it may be...though I guess this might have the most simply because it's my oldest)
The Ones You Lose are the Ones I See - BNHA au where Izuku has a quirk that allows him to see ghosts (again; surprised...I haven't had much time/energy/motivation to work on this one either)
Lost - Haikyuu!! mer au; Shouyou gets lost from his pod and has to find his way back home. I wrote this one in my first 2 years of writing on AO3...I was very into Haikyuu at the time lol.
The Sushi Protocol - Fire Force, Part of the Bar AU @kimium and I came up with together. Licht has some very poor dietary habits and once Companies 7 and 8 catch on, they intervene.
Unforgiving Winter - BNHA AU where Katsuki and Izuku get stuck outside in the cold as children. (heed tags and warnings)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! I love interacting with people who enjoyed my writing, and I like to discuss my ideas, so it's a win-win when I get a lovely comment and then get to discuss the fic in more depth with someone!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmmm, probably Unforgiving Winter (as listed above). I think that's the one I've gotten the most comments about breaking people's hearts on. That being said, angst is subjective and I've got more than a few angsty fics (my friends know I was an edgelord child at heart even if I wasn't allowed to show it and I have only gotten worse with my angsty bullshit hahaha)
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Not 100% sure. Probably Three Orange Hearts (Haikyuu UshiHina Youtuber AU)? I think that was one of my happiest fics and it has a pretty fluffy and happy ending for me. But, to be honest maybe someone has a different opinion. I started writing more fluffy/happy fics because of @kimium. (she challenged me to do so and I love her for constantly helping me grow in my writing)
Do you get hate on fic?
I wouldn't classify it as hate, but once in a while I will get a comment that is worded rudely or sounds like they're criticizing how I've written characters. Usually for those I either ask for clarification because I may have misread the tone or explain what thoughts go into why the character is acting that way. I mean, when it comes to critique on how I've written the characters...the bottom line is I write them the way that makes sense to me and makes me happy, so I always will say if someone doesn't like the way I've done it they can always write the idea their way and have fun with it. Most times this clears up any misunderstandings and I feel like it encourages communication and learning. I don't like to feel like I've lashed out at someone, it makes me feel bad.
Do you write smut?
Yes :D and unless you're one of my trusted adult friends who ask me where it is, you will never find out where I post it. Mwaahahahahaha
Do you write crossovers?
Yup! The Glorious Bar AU is a giant crossover of all the fandoms @kimium and I decide to mash together! And I am currently working on my first AO3 contribution to our Sort of Saw Franchise AU for Twisted Wonderland. I hope to post it soon! (see my pinned post for links to all the asks where Kim and I have discussed this AU!)
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge...but I've also locked down all my fics because of the AI scraping bullshit
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! I was very honoured!
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Currently Kim and I are co-writers for the Bar AU and the Saw AU! It's not necessarily one fic, but multiple fics in the same AU gathered in series!
What's your all-time favourite ship?
I'm not sure if I have an overall favourite that I like more than all my other favourite ships...Right now, I'm really into Kalim/Idia from Twisted Wonderland. It makes me happy and I have been writing a lot for them.
What's a wip you want to finish but probably won't?
I hate to label anything as "never going to finish" because I honestly always have plans to finish a story. I don't know if I have the heart to say I probably won't finish one. I do have a lot that I have taken a long break from though.
What are your writing strengths?
I've had people tell me they really love how I write characters in fics, and that they enjoy my worldbuilding in AUs; I like to think those are my strengths.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Scenery and describing it. I almost always have to go back and tweak things a little to make sure I didn't forget to include enough of the setting; but I am getting better at it.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I would not feel confident enough to do most languages as full conversations (maybe a little German? though the Duolingo Owl probably feels otherwise based on how long it's been since my last lesson...) but I could probably manage a few phrases if a characters says something in another language in canon (like Rook Hunt).
First fandom you wrote for?
Ever? Ever ever? I wrote a few chapters of a One Direction fanfic when I was 15 and it will never see the light of day again. I deleted it...lol. It wasn't posted on AO3, since I wasn't on the archive at that time.
Favourite fic you've written?
I don't choose favourites among my children...
(Right now it's A Different Kind of Magic; a multichapter Kalim/Idia fanfic set in an AU where Idia has to teach Kalim and Jamil to master their magic before it consumes them)
Well that was fun! I don't know if I have 20 writer friends/mutuals who are actively writing/posting fics to tag (who also haven't already been tagged...lol), so I'll tag the ones I can think of! If I miss you or you see this and want to join in, feel free!!
@kimium (sorry for tagging you so many times in this post lmfao), @collisiondiscourse, @sailormew4, @iluvmilkchoco, @vermillionair13, and anyone else who wants to join! No pressure, it's all for fun if you want to do it! 💜💜💜

Tidal Waves
CHAPTER 2
A/N: Typically I write Sun and Moon as found, but not biological family because they’re pretty much completely the same build in the usual FNAF universe, just with different personalities. But since it’s impossible for them to be related in this AU, given they’re completely different species from completely different habitats, I uh. Decided to write some minor shipping. This is a part two to the original fic I wrote where Mermoon gets tickled by remora fish.
Summary: Moon tries to tickle himself post remora-incident after swimming past seaweed and discovering that it too, tickled, but accidentally completely tangles himself. Sun, his friend visiting from a much warmer climate, decides to help him out. For a small price.
Content: Lee!Mermoon, Ler!Mersun, Ler!Seaweed??? + My version of the FNAF Merfolk AU for Mer-May. More lore and more characterization.
Trigger warnings: Thalassophobia havers be wary /gen Also, I’m editing this because there is, in fact, some minor family drama described that might be triggering.
---------------------------------------0--------------0-------------------------------------
Moon would never admit it. He’s a shark of all things. He had never stayed with his family for too long, but they had always told him that sharkfolk are not meant to be openly kind — that was left up to the rays or whales. Or to use any sort of charm to get by; that was the trademark of the tropical merfolk in southern, warm waters that lived among the bright coral reefs and considered themselves rare and valuable, passing off glimpses of themselves to landwalkers and smugly watching them light up and scramble for cameras, lights, pens, anything to document what they had just seen.
But he was born of hunters. There was a reason for the blood rumor, a reason for the widespread fear of feral sharks and sharkfolk alike. Once every so often, one of them will be peer-pressured into dragging a surfer or a scuba-diver down below to mutilate them and leave a message for the rest of both kinds alike.
And yet he had never felt a need to do this — perhaps because he was too young yet to be introduced into any of the typical social circles. Or perhaps because he was too different — ‘different’ folk were punished in the ocean. You must be made to fit in, or you must stay on your lonesome; hence why he had insisted to himself on moving to a separate part of the ocean away from his parents at such a vulnerable age. He could remember countless lectures, hunting trips, and confrontations about how he must fit in, all while he would rather have been sleeping the amber afternoon away on a warm current.
Now here he was. Experimenting with a feeling that his parents would surely have lectured him for, back when he was a pup. The soft seaweed dangling upwards, it gave him likewise the same feeling as when the remora, — some of which were still attached to his back, — had nibbled at his scales once before. Hesitantly, he reached his hand into the weeds, feeling almost shameful for how silly this whole situation was, when the feeling sprouted again, buzzing in his palm as the plants clung to his scales and wriggled like worms in the current around them. He couldn’t help humming giggles behind his shut mouth, and with a fair amount of apprehension with the only thing goading him on being his unending curiosity and the joy the feeling struck within him, he pushed himself through the water into them. And happiness, accompanying a tingling, ticklish, patchy feeling emitted through his whole body. “MmmmHMMMHHMMHM! Ahehahahah! N-neheheh! Mmmhmhmf!” His squirming only made the sensations worse. They were only plants, but they tickled! All across his tail and torso, and his sides; a few even brushed along his neck and earned a couple squeaks, and one squeal.
But then he heard laughter that was not his own, and he whipped around to see what or who it was, tangling himself in the weeds. “Need some help there?”
“I’m fine, Sun,” he said, feeling defensive very suddenly. “Oh, okay, okay.” He flipped himself around to float more comfortably. “I mean, you did look like you were enjoying yourself.” He teased, earning a brief, shocked expression from the shark held back only by tangled weeds. “Wh- no- I mean…” Moon trailed off, before realizing that he was really, truly stuck in the verdure that he was sure would seal his fate if he did not ask for help.
“Fine, I’ll explain. Just get me outta here.”
Sun giggled to himself, threading his nimble fingers between the tangled, taut flora and his friend, unwinding it with care and humming as he did so. Moon’s eyes met with his, only intended as a way to silently tell him to hurry up, as the squirming flora still tickled at his tail, and he was quite embarrassed about it. “No need to get so flustered, Moony. It’ll untangle when it feels like it, I’m just helping the process along.” His short talons grazed Moon as he slowly worked at the plants, tracing along the slick grain of his scales as he moved down to the next loop of seaweed knotted in with the fins along his forearm, rubbing his thumb along the back of Moon’s palm just after doing so. He was taking his time — Moon could see it clearly, and he gritted his fangs, refusing to make eye contact any further all because of his own embarrassment.
Seafolk had always known the lives of landwalkers were much different than their own. To them, kindness was a virtue, not a weakness. Favors done for nothing in return facilitated friendships.
But in the wild, it is well-known that favors must be exchanged for favors, or else there is no symbiosis — no true consideration for one another.
And especially true was that one was not to socialize outside of their typical circles. A goldfish and a shark certainly fell into this category. Moon could remember the evening clearly when they had met, and ever since, he was unsure how he was meant to treat this new relationship. As a friend? As a rival, someone to compete with, but ultimately respect? As…
No. Merfolk from the warmer climates were always known to be charmers. This too, was common knowledge, even in the deep and cold waters that Moon hailed from; although he could not figure out exactly what it was that Sun wanted from him.
Pulling his tail out from the weeds forcefully to interrupt any thoughts the other might have about untangling his tail himself, he sighed, doing his best to pretend as though he were not affected by the charm, even if he very much was. “So?” “So- oh, right.”
Sun’s eyes sparkled and he leaned his head on his hands, idly waving his tail as Moon began to explain, hardly able to stay there. “... I don’t really know what that feeling was? I, um... it felt nice, I guess. And I felt it again, when I swam past it-” Moon was cut off by a snicker. “You tangled yourself up on purpose, then?” “Don’t mock me,” he scowled, crossing his arms and holding them close to his body. “Did your parents never tickle you as a pup?” “... Tickle?” “Ohh, my.”
Sun’s face contorted into a strange mix of amusement and concern, swimming closer which only led Moon to lean away, bringing even his tail closer to himself. “What are you doing?” “Making you laugh.” Sun smiled, placing his dull claws on Moon’s sides, below where his crossed arms blocked his skin off, and began to tap up and down. “MmmHMMF!” Moon curled in on himself like a shrimp, although it did nothing to protect him from Sun’s devious hands. “St-stohohop… I’m warning you, cut it o- oouuuhuhut!” “And if I don’t?” Queried Sun, wiggling his way past Moon’s defenses to tickle his soft belly. “AHEHE!” The shark suddenly squeaked out with ticklish delight. “Ooh, sensitive spot, huh? You’re so squishy and soft here on your belly. It’s pretty cute,” Sun mused, working in his other hand to knead just behind the edges where the white coloration ended. “ST-Staaahahahawp! I’ll- HEHEH! N-no, cut it ouhuhuhut, cut it out!” Moon managed to snap his jaws at Sun threateningly, and the other smiled all the same, playfully tutting at him. “Oh me, oh my. How rude.”
Without a bit of care, Sun flipped his friend over onto his back in the water, causing him to go all but limp aside from his squirming tail and twitching fingers, and gently unfurled him, smoothing him out like a wrinkled sheet of paper before spidering his fingers down the length of his white tummy. “Tickle, tickle~ What a sensitive little shark you are, hm?”
Sun’s teasing voice dripped like warm honey in the ocean currents; comforting and sweet, but embarrassing nonetheless. For Moon, being so vulnerable was one thing. For that vulnerability to be used for an affectionate attack of all things; it was new, it was fun, and it felt wonderful. Any bit of paranoia he had washed away and was replaced with a feeling of trust.
The goldfish’s claws swept up his chest to his neck, tickling the crook in the side of his nape with one of his hands and stirred helpless giggles that sounded so much more innocent than Moon had ever presented himself to be, while the other began to count his ribs from the bottom up. “Does this tickle, too? Oh, I bet it does~! Just look at you, smiling and laughing up a storm.” His fingers slowly came to a stop, and he leaned closer, taking in the look of Moon’s dorky smile, the sound of his leftover giggles escaping.
“This is a much better look on you,” he whispered, partially wrapping his caudal fin along the side of the other’s tail, rubbing the phantom tingles away from his tummy. “You need to smile more often.” “Ehh-heh. Ehehe… Says you,” he retorted, still mostly breathless. “Touche,” admitted the brighter one, finally pulling away from his shark friend and righting him so he could properly. There was naught but the sound of the currents flowing around them, only interrupted a few long moments afterwards by Moon. “... So that’s what it’s meant to be?” He asked, a bit of vulnerability still showing in his voice, and Sun nodded. “Sorry you had to miss out on it all that time,” he apologized truly. “It really is quite pleasant.”
Moon let off a huff. “It’s fine. You know, I guess they’re right.” “Right about what?” “That you people are charmers.”

🛒 and 👀 for the fic writer ask please? (slightly basic but i’m curious)
🛒 - What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
Hm. Well, there's one thing I can think of straight away, but I'm not sure how to phrase it. I like to write a fic where a character is Other in some way, hides it/conceals it bc they perceive it as monstrous, but eventually ends up finding people who do not see the Otherness as a bad thing.
The other thing is horror. I like writing fear, but I like building up unease even more.
In terms of imagery... I don't know, my memory is too shit lmao. I think I use metal-related imagery and words a lot? Metal, temperature, and the sky.
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
Uhhhh. I'm not working on anything particular at the moment; I kind of have a bunch of fics on the backburner, but not writing any of them right now.
One of the ones I actually do want to finish and post is a Bleach fic, but fantasy au; still set on planet earth, but instead of shinigami and hollows, there are just mages and merpeople and fae and all that. The fic is about the friendship between Kisuke, a mage, and Retsu, a giant deep-sea serpent mer.
I need my Kisuke/Retsu or Kisuke&Retsu fix, what can I say XD

I finally convinced a friend of mine to chatter about a mer au thing for May. It’s not gonna end up a fic or anything, and it’s not sun & moon related - it’s for a different fandom entirely that we share blorbos for - but I’d have to say my favorite thing about the whole thing is the following phrase:

Meet The Mods
We're Happy To Have You~
This is an extension of our introduction post for Unminecrafts Your Fic that goes over the mods helping to run this blog as well as a couple details you might find interesting about this blog.
First and foremost, we'll usually be avoiding "first page fics". What this means is that usually we'll be avoiding fics with the most kudos are their tags since those fics already get a lot of attention and we'd like to share some of that attention with smaller and newer fics. We will make exceptions for fics that are requested though! I.e. we'd usually avoid fics like Shells In The Foam or Passerine unless requested.
Secondly, this blog is centered around positivity. While we will be "reviewing" fics as mentioned in our pinned post we won't be rating them. Reviews are just extended recommendations. They'll often include spoilers and our personal thoughts about the fics, but the primary aim is to provide positivity and compliments for these authors.
Third, we don't review unfinished fics. We will recommend them happily and talk about them as in progress pieces, but fics that are in progress will be clearly noted as such considering we can't talk about them as a finished work. Works that become boundary breaking will have their recommendation immediately removed the moment the mods become aware of it. Discontinued fics fall under the same category as unfinished and will be noted with the tag #UYFdiscontinuedorinprogress.
Now, on with the Mods
Mod Tommy
Pronouns: Any Neo's
Tag Specialization: discduo, bitterduo, awesamfam, rocketduo, souptrio, superhero aus, space aus, and will handle the fics with dark/serious/or potentially triggering topics most of the time,
About: Hey! Mod Tommy here. I'll focus on anything with hefty amounts of angst! I'll probably tend to keep any reviews short and sweet, but if you need something to read that makes you go "Woah, that was fucked up" I'm your guy!
Mod Ranboo
Pronouns: she/her
Tag Specialization: crimebois, angelduo, octopusduo, dadbur, mer aus, fairy tale aus, kristin content,
About: Hello hello! It's Mod Ranboo :D I'm really excited to help give writers the positive attention they all deserve! I plan on using my English degree to the fullest extent to point out all the amazing things people create! I'll be focusing on anything angst with a happy ending, and especially things like mer aus and fairy tale retellings! Side note UNFRIDGE THINE MUMZA!
Mod Tubbo
Pronouns: Genderfluid, stick to She/They/He
Tag Specialization: bedrock bros, alliumduo, benchtrio, winged tommy, familiar tommy, grian content, fae aus, foster aus,
About: Your friendly Mod Tubbo here! As is indicative of my name I'm here to help inspire chaos, but also action. A lot of longer form rec and review posts are going to be mine. I adore requests so if you have a specific fic you'd like me to take a look at feel free to send it in as an ask! I love bullying Tommy, love turning him into nonhuman species, and the more unhinged your plot ideas the better.
Mod Purpled
Pronouns: They/Them
Tag Specialization: Paranormal and ghost aus, mystery fics, werewolf aus
About: Hello, mod Purpled here o7 I adore fics centered around a mystery waiting to be solved, especially if it's paranormal or supernatural related. Small town horror or magic with a sense of dread or longing? Sign me up. I want to share what makes fics so enjoyable, and help uncover some absolute bangers that are often overlooked.

pinned post/FAQ (please read!) 📍
hi, my name is cas (he/they, 24) and this is my g/t art blog. i draw silly guys of various sizes :-)
NOTICES:
this blog may contain mature themes that some audiences may not feel comfortable with. i do not enforce any follower restrictions at this time, however please keep in mind i do draw/write my OCs in nsfw scenarios (these will not be posted on tumblr) so if that makes you uncomfortable then i recommend not interacting.
PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY ART, regardless of if you credit me or not! the exceptions to this are if the art was drawn for you (gift/commission) or for use as pfps/icons, i'm fine with that.
asks & anon will always be open! in truth i'll only respond to the ones that interest me / the ones i have time for, so please don't send the same ask more than once if i don't get to yours
fanart is A-OK! you only need to DM first if it seems like something that may be OOC (out of character) for any of my OCs, or if you're planning on making a NSFW piece so i can make sure it's nothing i'm uncomfortable with.
i’m okay with you making your own OCs in my OC universes! though by doing so you acknowledge that your content will never be considered “canon” within my own, nor will it have any sway on me or my characters (sorry if this sounds harsh, i’ve had bad experiences with this). while you are welcome to draw our characters interacting, i ask that you don’t do so too often and to please refer to the above guidelines for fanart.
I DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY OF MY WORK BEING USED IN ANY FORM OF GENERATIVE AI! this absolutely includes character.ai! seriously, please do not do this!

thank you @supernaturallyginger for tagging me!
I tag @yuyevon, @desertmint, and @diobious and anyone else who would like to do it. of course, you don't have to if you don't want.
under the cut are a few WIPs I have (all jojo related)
1. better days ahead (jotaro/kakyoin): a post-part 3 everyone lives au where jotaro fulfills his promise to kakyoin that they if they made it alive, they would finish and graduate high school together. j has a chat with joseph and talks about his past, and later he calls his mom over the phone. I'm currently writing chapter 3 which is the reunion between j and k!
2. crossroads (j/k, av/pol): a modern college au, coming of age story with an alternating pov, but I'm stepping away from it for a while
3. an untitled fantasy adventure (j/k, a/p): the story I keep teasing in my posts lol. I'm really excited to write this one, I only have up to chapter 5 outlined but I will get to writing it soon! basically, avdol is a wizard who's lost a precious family heirloom, and he's become sick and wants to recover it in case he dies. polnareff, a shining knight, is his guard and lover and takes care of him. he makes a proclamation to the land that anyone who brings him his heirloom will be granted one wish, anything they desire. that's where jotaro, a human/werewolf shapeshifter, and kakyoin, a human/fox shapeshifter, join the competition, and it becomes a rivals to friends to lovers kinda thing. I haven't planned much after this.
4. an untitled merman kakyoin fic (j/k): j and mer!kak meet as teens when he nearly drowns in the ocean and mer!kak saves him and they become friends, but then j has to move and they don't reunite until 10-12 years later, when j is on an expedition to the same beach
5. avdol and pol finally get to go on that dinner date they planned before entering dio's mansion, but idk if I can do it justice, so maybe i'll never write it. if someone else has, I would love to read it!
I have an entire document filled with ideas for fics that will likely never get written, like the first date one-shot series I planned with all my jojo ships. but I would love to discuss any of these if anyone is interested!
#tag game#writing#bre's posts#I could talk about this all day but even I annoy myself sometimes haha#jotakak

Hello to the peoplessss
Here's a quick about me post! Call me Cotton Candy, or just Candy, whatever you like best, I'm genderchaos and abrosexual, I use it/its, fae/faer, and mer/mers pronouns, and this is my writing and sometimes art blog! My main fandom fixation rn is Hermitcraft, though I also love TMNT and DC, especially Batman/Batfam. Please note that I'm not in the dsmp fandom anymore; my dsmp fics are still up for personal archival and preservation purposes. I also don't write g/t much anymore (still like it, just haven't found much motivation for it) so yeah please don't follow just because you found and liked my old dsmp g/t fics, you won't find what you're looking for.
I accept like short prompts but I may choose not to do them if I can’t think of anything or something- please don’t take it personally! (Also, for things like sentence/dialogue prompts, pls limit 3 per ask ^^’). I also love getting asks about my AUs and OCs!
I'm an adult (22). I don't post n-s-f-w on Tumblr, my AO3 however has some 18+ content (mostly related to animes i dont really post about on here). It's all marked as explicit and requires you to be logged in to see. Inc*st fans and prosh*ppers DNI (i'm not going to start fights about this, i just think its gross and don't want to see it. if you disagree just block me, i'm not going to discuss it and will just block you if you try anyways.) Also, this is a sideblog so likes and follows will come from my main, @autumnalguard.

~*Rules*~
When I get requests, I will answer the anon, so they know I've gotten it and then when they close again (probably at the end of the week) I will post a list of everything I have lined up. I link the ones that are done on that post and pin it, so it's easy to get to.
I have a prompt list with how to ask down below, as well as a master post of everything I have done so far that is updated whenever I write another piece. I also have an Archive of Our Own under the same name, though it’s mostly the same stuff I’ve posted here.
I’ll do SFW, NSFW, ANGST, YANDERE, PREDITOR/PREY and pretty much all of that, as long as it complies with the rules down below. With the Angst, Yan and Pred stuff, I’m a little more lenient with the blood rules, but let’s keep it within reason, okay?
Have a character, but no idea? Prompt list here!
Looking for more? Master post here!
Here is a quick list of characters that I will not do or won't do anymore:
Rudol von Stroheim (JJBA P2: Battle Tendency)
Ciccolatta (JJBA P5: Vento Aureo)
Secco (JJBA P5: Vento Aureo)
I will write pretty much every kink under the sun, but here are a few that I will not touch.
I will not write incest unless there is a third, unrelated party. Example, a Jojo sandwich threesome or more.
I will not write NSFW for children or teens (this includes Josuke and most of the characters from part 4), SFW is a little different. I will write SFW relationship headcanons for teens, but I will not touch children. There will be no sexualizing kids on this blog. Period.
I will not TOUCH anything relating to piss, shit and certain amounts of blood. If they’re a werewolf or a vampire, it’s a little different, I’ll write claws scratching or biting, but no fucking in pools of blood. Or a partner harming a character/reader to the point where they die or almost die. Light whips and cuts are okay for the most part and slaps as long as we all agree that EVERYTHING IS FICTIONAL AND YOU SHOULD NEVER SEEK OUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO ABUSES YOU. I would like to clarify, for ANGST’s sake that I will write the reader getting hurt a little more, but usually only by a third party. If the character you have chosen hurts the reader in a frenzied state, that’s fine too, but again, within reason and I likely won’t follow it up with NSFW. I write the sort of flip-flopping with the blood because I have a fear of blood and as of right now I don’t know how I’m going to react to that kind of thing yet. It’s sort of a learning experience for me. I will continue to update as new things appear.
Speaking of death, no necrophilia. I will not make anyone fuck a corpse or someone who is close to becoming a corpse. Again, vampires are a little different, but no zombies.
No hate speech. This includes mentioning of the KKK, Nazis, the Far Right, Proud Boys, etc. This is an inclusive blog for anyone of colour, anyone who is LGBTQIA2+ and minorities. Before you ask, no MAPS (pedophiles) ARE NOT A PART OF THE GAY COMMUNITY. The exception is for education, like someone asking who the Proud Boys are or something along those lines.
No bestiality or zoophilia. I will write for anything that is part humanoid example, a werewolf or a centaur or a goo monster. No actual animals will be fucked or fucking anyone. When I write for a werewolf, they will never be full wolf, only the traditional humanoid wolf-thing you see. I define bestiality as sex with an animal that cannot communicate consent. Monsters can consent because they can communicate and understand consent (in my opinion.)
No non-consentual sex. Dubious consent is one thing, but with those typically consent is given before hand and the act is more a roleplay then anything else. An example of this would be a chase scene leading to sex, or my Werewolf!Mista piece where one party is affected by something and they both consent knowing that the other is safe at the end of the day. I define dubious consent as someone not enjoying something and either changing their mind, or perhaps something that makes them aroused to the point of consent or maybe a survival thing. An example of this would be my Mer!man Jotaro 3 part fic.
The same goes for aphrodisiacs and date-rape drugs. Typically, I won’t write any drug use unless it’s something that makes both parties horny, but if both parties consent to say trying poppers or smoking a pipe before sex, I might be more inclined to write it.
I usually don’t write alternate universes, just because I have commitment issues and it’s a big thing to create something like that (for me), but that usually includes world building, which I can do, but I don’t trust myself enough to keep up with that kind of thing. That being said, we can create stuff together! Like a mermaid AU where we all contribute to what they would look like, how they would act, different species and their traits. That kind of thing. As of writing this, asks are closed and I have no monster things ready, but once they do open, we can get to that if you guys want.
As you can see, I am usually pretty lenient when it comes to most of my rules. If you think your request might be teetering on the edge, feel free to explain what you mean in the ask or DM me your concerns or questions. They’re always open, and I am always willing to help as much as I can.
I’m sure there will be more as I learn about more kinks, but this is a general outline. Please, respect my rules.

12 and 23!
12: Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?
I tend not to think of tropes in terms of my own writing (to the point that I always forget to tag for them when I *do* write them, so no one can ever find them, including me after the fact). That said, I’m a big fan of fusion or genre AUs, so like... some day I will hopefully subject you all to some steampunk or regency or cyberpunk or White Collar AU or Leverage AU or etc. etc. (So yeah! ALL OF THOSE.)
I am inordinately fond of arranged marriage and marriage of convenience tropes, but I am literally working on one of those, so I AM writing, not still a ‘haven’t written’ even if I haven’t finished or posted or anything like that.
23: If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it?
I kind of did, with the Absolute Corruption (Mafia AU) series in relation to my Theia Hawke fics, but then again I never actually posted the DA2 game-verse version for anyone else to see so possibly no one else noticed that it was a remix?
Writing that “what-if” for a mer!Alec fic where-in Magnus didn’t figure out he was cursed made me really want to write that version rather than the one I started though... it’s so much angstier! But it gets to the same place eventually!
/huh. Maybe I could do that. That’s a terrible idea, I kind of like it

meg! have you been listening to any songs/pieces you'd like to share, and i'd like to know what went on in that beautiful mind of yours when writing trouvaille (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
aaaaaa dawn!!
i’ve previously shared my favorite songs here, so i will unleash my classical musician nerd and bombard you with piece recommendations (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)
commentary on trouvaille is after the recs list that is way too longer than actually needed but i can’t shut up apparently
chopin
first up we have ballade no. 1 in g major, i never shut up about this one I KNOW but my man chopin...he really outdid himself with this one :’)
winter’s wind - also known as etude op 25 no 11. the chills..literally.
nocturne in e flat major - one of his most famous nocturnes, but the runs...THE RUNS!! it just hits the spot tbh. but honestly just...listen to all his nocturnes, they’re honestly wonderful
waltz in c# minor - another popular one, but it makes me feel like i’m attending a ball right after a chance encounter with my fated lover but we are Forbidden Lovers so we have to hide our passion and save it for lingering shadows 😔😔
debussy has many of my favorites, he just really knew how to express images with music yk?? it’s like he took a paintbrush and filled it with notes instead and i just sdfksdflk. the embodiment of “music is the silence between the notes”
obviously we have clair de lune, the ost behind The Moon Scene in la lune. you all probably know it, but it wouldn’t feel write to have this list without it :’)
la fille aux cheveux de lin - also known as The Girl With The Flaxen Hair. a pure imagery piece, though tbh you could say that about literally anything he’s written.
la mer - orchestral, but its gorgeous. it was based on The Great Wave painting by Hokusai, and you can tell. 23 minutes, but its worth it.
arabesque no 1 & reverie - not much to say about these, except its the embodiment of ambiance. just close your eyes and enjoy :’)
tchaikovsky, the man, the myth, the legend. you probably know his music like swan lake and the nutcracker (pas de deux!! pas de deux!!!!), but let me introduce you to:
the rose adagio and the sleeping beauty waltz piano arr by rachmaninoff. this shit SLAPS guys, absolute banger, and its a duet for four hands?? sign me up
speaking of my man rach, his piano arrangements did that for the community, including:
liebesleid (love’s sorrow), originally by kreisler- i uh...yeah :’) wish i could play it but it has like a tenth in the left hand in the first 3 bars and my hands are tiny so UMM i’ll stick to crying over it
and lastly we have the man that tortures me even in his grave, liszt
liebestraum no 3 - why must he make such gorgeous pieces that are so difficult to play? i do not know..i truly do not know.
OBVIOUSLY there are literally millions of pieces i am missing but those are my favorites :’) if you read through the whole thing congratulations, and i apologize for my rambling SDFLDK
secondly, a much shorter ramble i think, is my thought process on trouvaille.
to be honest, trouvaille was just a sort of go with the flow thing! i was joking with my friend in the beginning of my tumblr blog on the types of fics i wanted to make while i was finishing up nexilis, and i thought of 1. akaashi classical musican au, 2. a tsukishima fic relating to the moon, and 3. iwaizumi coffee shop au. and now look at me, all completed :’) i honestly had no idea where i was going with it when i opened up the doc, but like debussy, i just thought of imagery and i rolled with it! i was kind of just winging it as i went along skdfjsldkfj, but i did want to create a contrast between the cafe vs the bleak city skyline, which i think i achieved haha
come ask me questions!
#fellow classical musicians!!#i summon you#if you have more piece recs pls comment!!#meg answers#dawn🌙#sleepover!#milestones!

Fic: The Adventure of the Spontaneous Physician
I wrote this snippet of “Modern Holmes AU” a while ago, but I’m feeling the urge to post it Today Specifically (Easter euphoria? maybe), even though it’s more a first chapter than a real story. So... If you have any interest in seeing my idea their modern-day first meeting, here it is! :P
Length: ~2800 words
Characters/Pairings: John H. Watson MD, Sherlock Holmes, OFC. Gen.
Warnings: Absolutely none
Summary: The call of adventure is heeded. This leads to a meeting of friends in a Starbucks, and from there to another such meeting in St. Bart’s Hospital.
It was a fine spring day in London, and Dr. Meredith Lynn, OB/GYN, was feeling the pull of Adventure.
She wasn’t feeling it terribly strongly, mind you… But it was enough to have her get off the Tube a stop or so early, and walk the rest of the way to St. Bart’s in the fresh air. And when she passed a little hole-in-the-wall Starbucks she’d used to frequent in her student days, the urge for spontaneity was easily enough to break her routine and send her in for a drink and a pastry. In her just-over-three-decades of life, she’d learned to embrace moods like this one, and to find satisfaction in following where they led.
Having made her order, however, she paused. She had time—that same adventurous mood having sent her off with an early start—but did she want to sit here, or venture back out into the sunshine?
Brow furrowed, she scanned the tables for an empty spot. A young couple—two mums chatting—a single man on his computer—
Wait.
Something about the solitary young man caught her attention. She looked more closely. He was in a slightly ill-fitting suit, browsing the web with a condensation-coated frappucino next to him and a dark look on his face. But, expression aside, that face was familiar…
She lit up, threads all slipping into place suddenly, and hurried to his table. “John Watson!” she exclaimed, standing over him.
He looked up, startled, but quickly smiling. “Meredith?”
Meredith grinned, pleased he remembered her—it had been years, and they’d never been particularly close, but clearly the bond of a shared residency was a lasting one.
“The one and only!” she chirped. “Fancy meeting you here, Dr. Watson.”
He laughed, still a little incredulously. His look of open delight, though, proclaimed she was a pleasant surprise—he’d always worn his heart on his sleeve, Meredith remembered, and she was glad to see that that guilelessness hadn’t disappeared.
“Really!” he agreed, smiling. “I haven’t even looked for anyone from the St. Bart days since…well, since I got to town. What have you been up to?” Then he paused, expression flickering with sudden self-doubt. “Or, sorry, are you on your way to work or someplace? I wouldn’t want to keep you—”
But Meredith put an end to that by sliding into the seat opposite him. John had always been a good sort, and she was glad to catch up. And besides that…well, between his earlier gloom and his enthusiasm at seeing her, she rather thought he could use some company.
So she smiled and said truthfully, “Nothing but time. My first consultation’s not till—ooh, over an hour from now, and I’m still at Bart’s, so it's just ‘round the corner.” Setting her coffee and her scone decidedly on the table, she said, “So tell me! How’ve you been?”
He brightened, closing his laptop to give her his full attention. (Always the gentleman, John.) “I’ve been… Well.” He half-shrugged. “A mixed bag, I suppose. Not so bad now, really, but…”
He trailed off, and Meredith bit her lip in concerned attention. She’d thought, when she saw him, that he wasn’t looking well…
He shook his head, smiling at her as if in apology for his brief silence. “Well. Did you know, back in the day, that I was planning to sign up with Doctors Without Borders?”
“Hmm…” Meredith frowned. “I may have. Not sure, sorry.”
“That’s all right! Anyway, I did. Filled the qualifications, signed up, and got sent out last summer… It was pretty brilliant, actually,” he said earnestly. But then he gave a rueful grimace. “Then I got shot, sent home, and put on disability pay this winter.”
Mer’s mouth hung open. “You got shot?” she exclaimed. “Good lord, John, how bad was it? Where?”
He pulled back a little at her unthinking reaction, looking as if the attention made him uncomfortable. “Shoulder, but it’s not too bad,” he said quickly. “I mean, my leg doesn’t work properly either, just as a bonus, but neither is debilitating… I can get through daily life all right, now, and I can work as long as it doesn’t demand too much fine motor control. Doesn’t even hurt too much!”
His face had fallen, though, despite these hopeful words, and it was plain to see he was hurting on some level.
“It’s just that I can’t go back, you know?” he said after a moment. “Maybe not ever. And I know I could be much worse off, but it’s…disheartening, I guess. All that work, and I got less than a year of doing what I wanted to do with it.”
Looking at him, Meredith frowned. She could only imagine the disorienting upset of having your entire life’s plan forcibly torn apart like that… But it hurt to see a man like John H. Watson looking so adrift, so done.
“Hey,” she said, leaning forward. “Whatever…whatever you’re meant to do with yourself, you’ll find it. If not Doctors Without Borders, something better. You’ve just…” She fumbled over her words, torn between trying to say what she really felt and wanting to avoid empty-sounding platitudes. “You’ve got more ahead than behind, John,” she said finally, earnestly.
He blinked, looking unexpectedly touched. “I… Thank you,” he said, the empty look fading. “I do feel that myself, at least some of the time… It’s just frustrating, you know? I’m not terribly good at planning ahead to start with, and now my one big plan’s just…thrown out, and I’ve got to make another?” He sighed, stirring the sludge left in his cup with an idle straw. “Having something out there is all well and good, but finding it…” He snorted, one corner of his mouth curling up in a rueful smile. "Need somewhere to start, you know. Can't make bricks without clay."
Meredith blinked at the odd choice of phrase…and more, at recognizing it.
"Y'know," she said, "somebody else said that to me just yesterday? The bricks thing, I mean."
John looked up. "Oh really?"
She nodded. "He was complaining about rooming, though. Something about needing either more money or a roommate, and how impossible it would be to get either." She rolled her eyes tolerantly, thinking of her labmate's dramatics.
"Well, I can relate to that, too," John said, laughing and taking a drink. "Before anything else, I need a halfway-affordable place to stay, and that's…not easy."
"No…" Meredith trailed off halfway through her wry agreement, struck by a sudden thought.
"Why not room with him?" she said.
John blinked, startled. "I—sorry? I mean, I wouldn't mind a roommate, of course, but we don't know anything about each other—I don't even know his name!"
But Meredith just grinned, the idea having now firmly taken root in her mind. It would be good for John—he clearly needed company, and something to take him out of himself, and this set-up would certainly provide stimulation.
And as for her labmate… Well. She was sure he'd have a fit if he ever heard her say this, but occasionally he seemed lonely, too. And you couldn't find a more considerate friend than Dr. John H. Watson…
So she just said, smiling over the rim of her coffee cup, "His name is Sherlock Holmes. Now you know!"
"…Sherlock Holmes." She watched him turn the syllables over. "That's quite a name."
"He's quite a person." She took another sip of coffee. "An odd sort, definitely—very bright, and sometimes very impatient with us mere mortals who are less bright and can’t keep up, but not unfriendly. Lives in his own world, a bit, I think? Not sure what he’d be like to live with…but he’s good company when he decides to be.”
“An eccentric genius?” John suggested, smile lighting up his eyes. “Sounds interesting, at least. What is he, exactly? Another doctor?”
She laughed. “Oh, no. Truthfully, I don’t know what his thing is—he seems to be some sort of perpetual grad student, but I couldn’t tell you what in! No, we just share lab space occasionally—I’m assisting on a research project in post-natal care, did I mention?”
“No, congratulations! What’s it about?”
Meredith started to answer…then checked herself and looked at her watch.
“If I start answering that,” she said, with a grin, “we’ll be here until you’re bored stiff and I’m late for work. But here’s a thought—walk with me to Bart’s? I can talk your ear off on the way, and then maybe we can find Sherlock Holmes and I can introduce you before my first appointment.”
He grinned. “Sounds brilliant, if you don’t mind. I’d like to meet him, even if we don’t end up working as a flatshare.”
They gathered up their things and set off—the conversation, as they walked, bouncing between Meredith’s work in London and John’s experiences abroad. He had a gift for storytelling, picking out the drama or the humor or the human interest in events; but, unusually, he had an equally strong gift for listening. All in all, the rest of her commute passed far more quickly than Meredith would have expected when she got up that morning.
She paused outside the hospital. “Hang on…” She turned to John with a rueful smile. “I should’ve thought of this before—I suppose part of me was thinking you still worked here—but I think I’ll need to leave you for a bit. Sherlock Holmes is probably in the lab, and…I can’t get you in without a badge.”
John’s eyes widened. “Oh, right! I’d forgotten that too.” He frowned, lost in thought. “Where should I wait for you, then?”
“Hmm…” Meredith tilted her head. Her first thought was the lobby, but she felt there must be something better. Somewhere quiet, public, enjoyable…
Ah. Hm. “Pathology Museum?” she suggested. “Have you been lately?”
“I haven’t, actually,” John said, brightening. Ah, so she remembered correctly—he had been the one who liked the place, back in the day. He was a bit of a nerd, wasn’t he? “I heard they’d been doing more remodeling, though. How does it look now?”
“I don’t really know,” she said, smiling. While Bart’s Museum of Pathology was fascinating, she supposed, from a certain point of view—certainly the layout was nice, and they had a vast variety of artifacts from the hospital’s centuries of history—it was all a bit too odd, and sometimes morbid, for her own tastes, and she rarely visited it herself.
Still... “I’ll walk over with you,” she decided. “Then next time someone asks me that, I’ll know the answer!”
John laughed, and they made their way in and up to the museum’s third-floor location.
“Come to think of it,” she remarked, as they entered the open floor of the museum, with its multiple mezzanine levels running around the walls and its glass roof above (it really was a nice place, if you ignored some of the exhibits), “this seems like exactly the sort of place Sherlock Holmes probably hangs about in.”
And then she stopped, surprised—because there, bending over one of the glass cases in the middle of the room, was a tall figure that could only be the man himself.
He showed no sign of having noticed their arrival, so Meredith steered John over.
“Dr. Lynn, hello,” Sherlock Holmes said without turning. “Aren’t these exhibits fascinating? Look at this old doctor’s bag, here. Imagine how much it has to tell us… I wish I could open the case and take a closer look.”
Meredith looked down, seeing that the case did, indeed, hold an old-fashioned doctor’s kit, black bag and all. “I have to admit,” she said, “I don’t get much out of museums… I’d love to meet the man who owned the bag, but the bag itself doesn’t make much impression.”
“But can’t you see they’re practically the same thing?” Sherlock Holmes said enthusiastically, turning to face her. “If you could really get your hands on the bag, really examine it—oh, hello.”
He’d finally noticed her companion, she saw; his sharp gaze had locked on to this new figure, and flickered rapidly over him from head to foot before meeting John Watson’s eyes.
He blinked; and then smiled one of his genuine, spontaneous smiles, and held out a hand. “Sherlock Holmes,” he said. “A Doctors Without Borders veteran, I see? Impressive, especially when you’re also a friend of Dr. Lynn’s. I’m interested in the flatshare if you are, Doctor…?”
“John H. Watson,” John said, shaking his hand automatically. And then he blinked, eyes widening in belated, vaguely awestruck shock. “But—hang on, how did you know all that?”
Sherlock Holmes grinned. “Oh, I’m perceptive,” he said easily. “But look, you’re a doctor, and one who likes stories—what do you think of this bag?”
He turned back to the exhibit, and John followed his lead. “…It’s fascinating to think about,” he said slowly, looking down at the faded black bag. “All the things it must have been carried through, how the man first got it… All the lives that may have been saved with the tools inside it.” He sighed. “If only you could learn those stories from the bag itself.”
“You might be able to,” Sherlock Holmes said. “If you studied it well enough.” His fingers tapped out a staccato rhythm on the glass case. “But you came to talk about rooming together, yes? The rooms I’ve been looking at are on Baker Street—two-bedroom, a little out of the way but not far from the Tube, and a good building. Do you have pets, or smoke?”
John shook his head.
“Perfect!” he exclaimed, grinning again. “Fair warning before you commit, though—I have a tendency to get into odd hobbies, chemistry being my most consistent one. Would you be all right with occasional home experiments?”
John just laughed. “Yes, that’s fine.”
“Good, good. My other major drawback as a roommate—or so I’ve heard, anyway—is my moods. I have a tendency towards depressive episodes, and although they’re never major, and they only last a few days, they can be uncomfortable for those who have to share space with me.”
“I would think,” John said slowly, blinking, “that they’d be more uncomfortable for you.”
Sherlock Holmes looked startled, then laughed. “I suppose so,” he allowed, “ but I don’t have much of a choice about them—and, no, before you ask, I’ve never gotten a solid diagnosis, and yes I did try before the whole ordeal became more trouble than it was worth. But anyway, they’re not dangerous and they’re not triggered by those around me, so all I need is some space. So what do you need me to know, Doctor?”
John thought for a moment—smiling, as if amused by the other’s bluntness. “Well,” he said, “I got shot up in Afghanistan, so I’ve limitations on how I can use my arm, and I’m going to both types of therapy. I also don’t like parties, and… Ah, right. I was called a Puritan a good few times in college, so if you’re likely to have, er, anyone overnight…?” He flushed a bit.
“Good Lord, no,” Sherlock Holmes said instantly, with a snort. “And if you aren’t either, that’s an added draw—I don’t like strangers in my space much, myself. Should make life easier for both of us, yes?”
“I’d say so,” John agreed, clearly relieved. “It sounds as though we’ll have a quiet flat.”
“So it seems. Although…” For the first time, he looked concerned. “How do you feel about the violin?”
John laughed, looking surprised. “My favorite instrument, believe it or not,” he admitted. “Although it does depend on the player…”
Sherlock Holmes laughed too. “That’s fine, then,” he said assuredly. “When would you like to look at the flat, in that case? I’m free today…”
Meredith, who had ostensibly drawn back to examine an old plaque on the wall—although it was really too worn by age to read anything except the date, which commemorated something to do with “New Year’s Day 1881”—watched them both, and smiled happily to herself.
They had clicked, and even more thoroughly than she had expected them to. Both men’s postures were loosened, and they had begun talking easily and animatedly already. There was a warmth to Sherlock Holmes’s voice, and a spark in John’s eyes, that she’d rarely seen before in either.
She hummed to herself, remembering the call of Adventure she’d felt that morning. It had faded, now, leaving behind a welcome bounty of drink, food, and unexpected reunion for her, and leaving her to her life until it came again…
But as she looked at the two young men her spontaneous walk had brought together, she rather thought their Adventure had only just begun.

For the fic reader one: 15, 16, 20, 40, 42, 46
apparently I can’t write short answers. oops!
15. What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting?
Hmmm... I’ll read anything that’s not squicky by a writer I love & trust. I’ll even get sucked into new ships, apparently 😜For new fics, an interesting or unique idea? I’m quick to read things recommended by writers I love or folks I seem to share interests with. I am also very easily sucked in by art! I’ve read (and loved!) SO MANY fics I wouldn’t have touched otherwise bc of @artgroves art.
16. Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come close).
OH GOD SO MANY. I love a good cry. Recovery fics and fics that address Bucky or Steve’s or both’s trauma always wreck me.
your blue eyed boys by feather. and like 75% of the related fic set in the same universe.
parts of the Honey Honey series/verse by @justanotherstonyfan
Those are both big, long well-written series you can lost in or wrapped up in, so when the characters bleed you bleed with them 💔 they both address trauma really well in my opinion.
despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) by praximeter is a tough read and utterly heartbreaking.
Civilian by CoraRochester is beautiful and sweet and sad.
There Is No Shortage of Blood by DiraSudis is a really interesting take on Bucky’s recovery and it destroyed me.
Civilian and There Is No Shortage of Blood are great examples of fics I love that I found through @artgroves art; I don’t think I would’ve read them otherwise but they are great and led to some lovely (read:hideous) crying.
20. What’s the weirdest fic you’ve ever read? Describe it.
Oooh good question! I love weird... I like fantasy and interesting takes on the characters and characters in interesting/weird situations.
The one where Bucky is a cat by Renne is pretty self-explanatory.
Through the Woods by VenusMonstruosa is a gloriously weird take on werewolf!Bucky (with more GORGEOUS art from @artgroves I swear I read things she doesn’t do art for I SWEAR).
Moosebumps by @rohkeutta is about cyclists and a moose incident and everyone should read it.
And definitely some of @voxofthevoid‘s deliciously weird porn. your smoking gun’s the tip of your tongue is about vampire!Bucky and werewolf!Steve discovering they are soulmates and in some of them want to use you (some of them want to get used by you) Steve is a hydra (like the monster) and Bucky is a mer-dude. And they have lots of weird and delicious tentacle-y sex.
40. Have you ever written fanfiction or considered it?
I’ve scribbled some ideas in some google docs, and I started something based on a conversation with @jbbarnes (which maybe I should revisit?). I’m not opposed to writing but I’m impatient and usually (nearly always) I’d rather read if I have time.
42. Name a fic that you wish was longer.
most of them? JK I do love one shots and shorter fics bc I can digest them and comment when I don’t have a ton of time, but all of my favorites I could probably read pages and pages more.
I genuinely hope that @cesperanza keeps writing in the 4 Minute Window verse until I am too feeble to read. I would happily devour 10,000 words of Bucky and Steve contemplating gum on the sidewalk if she wrote it.
I would read 5 trillion chapters of @bisexualstarbucky‘s With Shoes Like Those.
I love Turn Your Back on Mother Nature by @transbucky and would totally eat up where they go from there.
And ALL YOUR FAULT @jbbarnes but now I’m dying to find out what happens to Geralt & Jaskier in everything you’ve ever written about them 💙 You also know I’d hungrily devour anything you ever write in the when we become who are verse.
I never want to pressure writers to keep writing in a verse they aren’t feeling inspired by, but in all my favorite stories I would eat up every word they wrote.
46. If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?
Such an interesting question. There’s not one perfect fic, really, because I like all kinds of things. I love pure smut with just the ghost of a plot (how I started reading fic) but now some of my favorites don’t have any smut at all. I love short fics and long fics and canon-y stuff and complete AU’s. My favorite fics are well-written with a strong sense of the who the characters are, behaving in a way that feels "them” to me. That’s totally subjective, but that’s what I love. 💕
Thanks for the ask @jbbarnes, and thank you to all of my fave writers and artists (that’s you too obviously) including the folks tagged here for doing the heavy lifting of keeping me sane during quarantine. Fic is my happy place right now (even the stuff that makes me cry).
