#I have like 80?% of the fic fully typed out
Note
anon mohgwyn here! just read your mohg x miquella love in abundance series and hoo boy.
it's fucking fantastic. the way you write mohg as this devoted, almost zealous fanatic of miquella's amorphous form, how he is love and truth embodied. how miquella is characterised: he is the most fierce empyrean, and likely would not have let mohg take him if it did not play into his plans: he promised malenia he would return, after all. and yet miquella cannot help but control, in that bewitching nature of his, ironically the very thing he wishes to eliminate from the ring and order.
fhfhhfhfhrhhfhdhdhdhhdhdhdhdhdhdh I'm Soooo glad you're groking what im trying to do with them. Like, I know as soon SotE comes out literally every part of Miquella's characterization in that fic will be made ooc, bc let's be real, it's A Stretch with what's in the game as is (and Mohg is just an oc at this point). but For now he is a glorious manipulative selfish godling who represents half of the change from the stagnation that came before him while still carrying everything that caused that stagnation in the first place within himself.
Like, people more versed in the lore and development have said it better but there's So much that feels flubbed with Miquella's side of the story. And hindsight, it's probably because a chunk of it was cut out late in development to be used in SotE and so much of Mohg's everything was obviously scrapped at some point, But By God if fromsoft doesn't let him be more than a damsel in distress i will riot. Malenia the coolest hardest boss says Miquella was above even her, and in the game he got kidnapped by a shitty sewer cultist who lives in a gross swamp with his little chortling henchmen... without Malenia noticing or Miquella doing jack shit about it. It Doesn't line up.
Sorry i have So many thoughts about them in my skull at all times and they're all tripping over eachother rn bc I'm Excited about it. There's something There. If you squint. they're the exact type of fucked up that appeals to me specifically and I love them in a "by god what is Wrong with you?" way. They're the fuhken, reason i bought the game because i saw the bullshit going down with them in a let's play and just needed to get a closer look.
#i am So fucking unwell about them#I have like 80?% of the fic fully typed out#and just have the sinewy bits between the big bits to go#but those sinewy bits ar largely like#Mohg and Malenia sitting around being bored and slowly bonding#Dealing with their mutual jealousy and anxiety about what the other ones pressence means for their relationship with Miquella#Like Malenia trusts her brother but she cant Not be scared that this shithead is going to replace her as his guard.#Mohg could help Miquella in a way Malenia simply couldn't. and that terrifies her. She defines herself as the fucking Blade of Miquella.#And Mohg is of course fully aware Malenia could make him into a paste in 2 seconds flat#and that no matter what Miquella feels for him#hey i just realized im rambling#Sorry i got excited im Really brainsick about these two and my guy friend can only be expected to tolerate So much of that#so it just#leaks out.#God i have another fic for them percolating in my brain#and a future chapter/sorta side thing thats getting major edits about 90% of the way done#Miquella's characterization in it is piss but im Obsessed with it to the point ive stripped it out and made a new oc. to just have in my#pocket for stuff that like. Bloodlilly adjacent but not Quite right for them#Which is why grinning thing is blond.#im obsessed with that fic in general. As soon as I clean up miqy's characterization and make mohg 5% more unhinged im posting it#it was meant to be a smut fic but its uhhhhhhhhhhhh 5k words of Miquella having a Mohg's shackle based crisis.#bc i accidentally killed patches and through that was reminded of mohgs shackles existence and though hee hoo a smut can be done#and now its about Miquella's guilt over being more than willing to hurt mohg and Mohg being really into that.#And Miquella's guilt over being Really Really into That.#anyways youve stopped reading by now and im going insane Not talking about it. But the fic has a body count now. Its one of the twins.#which isnt a spoiler really because every single character in the fic is a twin. Hell#even the Author is a twin. So who knows what the future holds! besides a twin getting ganked and me crying about it

what do you say, my dear?
ceo jaehyun x executive assistant reader
this is just filthy 😔 4.4K words
ok this is officially my longest fic😭 you all must suffer through my jaehyun brain rot with me😤
plot: your sexy boss jeong jaehyun offers you a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Milan, for work purposes of course. mr. jeong makes some bad decisions, but it takes two to tango. who knew sininng could feel so good.
p.s if the business terms I used don't make a lick of sense please don't beat my ass 😭🙏🏾
MDNI
“y/n, come into my office. we need to discuss something”
you instantly felt a rush of nerves run through your body.
you had started off as a temp at Jeong Financial last summer. you had been out of college for a few years, lost and trying to find your footing in the so called “real world.” you spent your first two years out of college working at an upscale lounge. while the tips were incredible, the graveyard shifts and your newfound numbness to the stench of liquor was not your ideal lifestyle. it was time to dust off your resume and get to work. a recruiter from Jeong Financial had reached out on linkedin, and from there your journey in the corporate world had begun.
on your first day of work you were scheduled to have a meet and greet with the CEO, Jeong Jaehyun. you hadn’t really done any research on the company, as you were desperate to just get your foot in the door. you weren't sure what you were expecting the ceo to look like, but it certainly wasn't this.
jeong jaehyun was the only son of his two parents. they had built jeong financial from the ground up in the 80s, and eventually passed down the company to their son.
Jaehyun wasn't some stuffy old man, he was a devilishly handsome Adonis in his late 20s that kept his hair styled and wore brands you couldn't even begin to pronounce. he had a killer smile that could, and did, light up every room he was in, with dimples to match. he was tall and muscular, and could easily quit his job at any point to become a model. people simultaneously respected and feared him. men that were twice his age and nowhere near jaehyun's level envied him. the Human Resources ladies made any excuse to come to his office.
he was also married. with two children.
your first meeting with mr. jeong rendered you shocked by his gorgeous features. while he certainly carried himself with dignity and pride, he still made you feel like you were an equal. he asked you about your interests outside of work and what your goals were. you mentioned that you would like to eventually work your way up to executive assistant to the ceo, to which he smiled.
"well y/n, you certainly have the potential to flourish as an executive assistant. I can tell you're passionate about the industry and that's the type of woman I want on my team. forget temping, why don't you start reporting directly to me from now on. my current assistant can help you transition into the role. she's retiring next month."
you sat there in utter shock, processing his proposal. you had entered the company fully expecting to start from the bottom. how did you get offered your dream position within 20 minutes of you working for the company? you didn't have time to analyze the situation, so you settled for a simple "yes!"
fast forward a year, and you had been assisting jaehyun with his daily tasks: checking emails, setting up meetings, sitting in on his lunches, going with him to seminars. the job had forced the two of you to become really close. each interaction you had made you more and more infatuated with him. and you were positive the feeling was mutual.
jaehyun would stare just a little too long at you, admiring your figure in your pencil skirts and dresses. he complimented you every single morning, mostly innocent. mostly.
"y/n, the coffee you made me is phenomenal! you should add professional barista to your resume"
"wow, that blouse really brings out your eyes"
"I couldn't imagine not having you around"
sometimes you would notice an underlying hint of flirtation, but it never went into inappropriate territory. the man was all about his image after all. you certainly weren't complaining, in fact, you fed into it. you accepted his sweet words. you craved them. but you always kept the fact that he was married in the back of your mind...
you stood up from your desk outside of his office and smoothed out your black, boatneck dress. your heels clicked on the marble floor with each step you made toward his office. Jaehyun let you into the large corner office first, shutting the door behind him.
"everything ok sir?" you asked while sitting down in the expensive chair in front of his desk.
jaehyun walked around the large mahogany desk and sat in his chair. he looked like an absolute dreamboat. the large, floor to ceiling windows in his office brought in a ton of sunlight behind him, making him look particularly angelic.
"oh yeah, everything is more than ok. it's FANTASTIC actually. that's why I called you in here today."
"phew, you should've led with that sir" you said jokingly, taking a slight sigh of relief.
jaeyhun's eyes widened, shocked that you were so uneasy. "y/n, my dear, your performance over the past year has been outstanding. your organizational skills, your punctuality, your magnetic personality. you have nothing to worry about."
you hoped he didn't notice the blush that you felt forming on your face. he had always called you innocent pet names, it was in his nature. but being called his dear while receiving all of that praise? it certainly drove you crazy.
"thank you sir, that means a lot to me" you said sincerely.
jaehyun leaned forward in his seat, making you mirror his actions.
"jeong financial is projecting to make more than double what we made last year. with the launch of our second office in New York City, we were able to drive in even more consumers than we ever have. we had a meeting with the board of directors to finalize our latest expansion efforts--we are opening our very first European office in Milan!"
"what!? oh my gosh that's amazing news! this is incredible sir. what does this mean for us?" you inquired, wondering where you would come in in all of this
"well, I have a meeting next week to meet with the person who is going to run the Milan office. this is going to be an intense week filled with lots of information, and I'm going to need someone to help me stay on track. and that, my dear, is where you come in."
your ears perked up, "I'm listening"
"I'm going need my right hand lady with me to help me get through this week. if you're up for it, I'll arrange for you to have your own hotel room and all of your expenses to be paid with the company card. I'll even include a well-deserved bonus for the next pay period. what do you say, my dear?"
milan!? you had never been to Europe before, let alone had a gorgeous, wealthy man offering to sponsor your trip to Milan.
for work purposes of course.
"what do I say? I say, let me pack my bags!" you said while bouncing in your seat like an excited puppy.
he let out a hearty chuckle, his eyes taking a sneaky peek at your bouncing cleavage. you were so cute in his eyes. so tantalizing. so intoxicating.
"atta girl! I wish all of my business partners were as cute as you–"
you stopped your movements, and a loud silence washed over the room. you guys made eye contact with one another, analyzing and dissecting the flirty comment that lingered in the air.
"...I don't get to see those types of reactions often in this line of work" jaehyun cooly clarified.
you blinked and smiled softly, your eyes glancing down at the framed picture of jaehyun, his wife, and his son and daughter posed perfectly in front of the fireplace–not a hair out of place. the white picket fence-esque family of four would easily be the envy of any outsider looking in...
you and jaehyun had touched down in Milan in the early afternoon on Saturday. you wanted nothing more than to get a nice shower in and see what Milan had to offer. you weren't scheduled to do any actual work until Monday morning.
the whole journey here was absolutely seamless. you, jaehyun, and a few other members of the board had flown privately in the company jet. how did a girl who was serving drinks to sleazy drunk men not too long ago end up in a scenario like this? the prearranged company driver had driven you all to the gorgeous hotel. you felt like a real life princess being pampered like this.
after jaehyun got you all checked in, he made his way over to you and handed you your room key.
"we're going to be next door to each other, hope that's ok with you?
you smiled, "it's perfect, thanks again for letting me join you. I know how important this trip is for the company."
"nonsense, it's you I should be thanking. without you I would be an absolute mess trying to sort everything out."
you two made your way to your respective rooms in comfortable silence. something about being in a new country, roaming through the halls of a luxury hotel with your handsome boss made you feel a certain kind of way.
"alright, this is us! hey, would you like to grab dinner with me later? there's a Michelin star restaurant on the rooftop. their wine selection is supposedly out of this world. my treat, of course"
just a dinner? with your boss? seemed innocent enough.
"yeah that sounds amazing actually, my first authentic Italian dining experience" you smiled
"wow, I get to dine with you for your first ever Italian meal, what an honor. be ready by 7:00?"...
it was 6:47 and you were running around your hotel room like it was on fire. what was one supposed to wear to a swanky Italian restaurant with their handsome boss as their non-date date? you didn't want to try too hard because you didn't want to overstep any boundaries, but you also wanted to dress to impress. you sifted through your entire suitcase and eventually settled for a navy blue wrap dress and some nude pumps. you jumped slightly when you heard a knock at the door. 7:00 pm on the dot.
you sprayed some floral perfume and looked yourself over one more time in the full length mirror. good enough, you thought.
you opened the door and you were immediately taken aback by the man standing in front of you.
jaehyun's hair was gelled back with a few stray pieces hanging in front of his face. he wore an all black suit that complimented his broad shoulders and athletic build. he sported that signature dimpled smile as he greeted you.
"wow y/n, you look lovely tonight. you ready to eat?"
you sure hoped you were.
the restaurant was absolutely stunning. white table clothes, restaurant goers adorned in the finest clothing and jewels, romantic Italian music creating a magical ambiance. it made you forget that you were here on a work trip.
jaehyun had asked the waiter to sample a few of the wines, allowing you to get a feel for what you liked. eventually you settled on a particular pinot noir. he ordered the bottle, and the wine continued flowing. the two of you had talked about some pending work items. he briefed you on how Monday's meeting would go, and eventually the conversation became less work centric. the wine you both shared also made the professional walls lower.
"so y/n tell me, you have anybody waiting at home for you?" jaehyun sneakily inquired.
you giggled, running your hand through your hair, "hehe no relationships for me, I've been single since I graduated college."
jaehyun smirked slightly, liking the answer you gave him "what a shame. a woman as beautiful and as intelligent at you should have men lining down the block."
on a normal day, you'd blush at one of his borderline flirty comments. but tonight, with you sitting across from the most handsome man you'd ever laid eyes on in a fancy Milan restaurant, you went for a different approach.
"oh really? and would you happen to be one of those men lining down the block, sir?"
you leaned forward, letting your hands rest on your hands. this position also gave jaehyun a fantastic view of your cleavage, which you took full advantage of.
jaehyun chuckled, running his hand over his jaw. "in a perfect world, yes, yes I would"
the ball was back in your court.
"what, jeong jaehyun: the handsome, Forbes 30 under 30, multi-millionaire ceo doesn't see the world as perfect?" you weren't sure where this confidence was coming from, but you didn't question it further.
jaehyun smirked, enjoying this bold side of you. a little too much.
"well my dear, if the world was so perfect, you would've been mine by now, but that's not the case right?"
finally. no more tiptoeing the line of flirting. jaehyun had effectively ripped off the bandaid and laid out his true feelings about you.
"...but what about–"
"my wife? my kids? like I said, in a perfect world."
from the moment you walked into his office last summer like a wide eyed puppy, jaehyun knew he wanted you. you were a breath of fresh air. your positivity, your youthful energy, your ravishing looks. you were a slice of normalcy in his everyday hectic life. every time you walked into his office with that cute pep in your step made him forget about all of his worries at work and at home. it made him long for a timeline where you two could be together normally, without the pressure of keeping up appearances for his wealthy family. he had been born into a lifestyle that was already paved for him. sure, he loved his wife and kids and he loved running one of the top financial firms in the entire world. but deep down he craved a normal life. a life that he got to choose.
you both had finished up your dinner, and made your way back to your hotel rooms. in the elevator, you two had stood closely next to one another. your arms and hands were barely brushing each others, desperately wanting to make a move. the elevator dinged and you two stepped out.
once you reached your rooms, jaehyun spoke up breaking the silence.
"y/n, I had a wonderful time with you tonight. thanks for keeping me company."
you smiled, not really wanting the night to end just yet. "I really enjoyed myself sir, I've never had a dining experience like that before"
jaehyun stiffened slightly."y/n, my dear, I've been meaning to talk to you about this. you really don't have to be so formal with me, even at work. just jaehyun is perfectly fine"
"oh, im sorry sir–I mean...jaehyun. I just didn't want cross any boundaries that's all."
"no need to apologize, I appreciate your manners." jaehyun paused for a minute, deciding if he was going to act on his impulses.
he chose to do so.
"y/n, if you aren't too tired, you're more than welcome to join me on the balcony tonight. I always love to watch the stars late at night when I travel"
how could you turn that down?
"I'd really like that jaehyun" you said sweetly as you smiled up at him. he opened the door to his room and let you inside, looking around the hallway before closing the door.
you continued walking towards the French doors of the balcony and pushed them open. the cool night air felt amazing, cooling down your wine and pasta filled body. sure enough, you looked up at the night sky covering Milan and saw millions of bright stars. the scene took your breath away. who knew so much beauty existed in this big, crazy world.
you heard jaehyun's footsteps coming up behind you. he admired your goddess like form as you looked up at the night sky. you looked so beautiful like this, his tipsy state enhancing the feelings he already had for you. his feet moved faster than his brain and he came up behind you, brushing your hair over your shoulder.
you turned your head around to look up at him, eyes wide and filled with growing lust. he had taken off his suit jacket, leaving him in his dress shirt with a few loose buttons at the top and suit pants. his hair had gotten slightly messy, making him look absolutely irresistible.
the two of you made intense eye contact with one another, and before you knew it, you were in a passionate make out session with your boss. his large hands cupped your face, deepening the kiss. you kissed him back with everything you had in you. the months of stolen glances, sly remarks and heated exchanges all led up to this point. you didn't care that he was your boss, you didn't care that he had a family, all you cared about was how good his lips tasted against yours.
jaehyun lifted you up off of your feet and sat you on the bistro table. you leaned in to continue kissing him, but he stopped you in place by holding your jaw firmly with his hand.
"this ok, my dear? I can stop all of this if you want me to" he asked in a serious voice, staring down at your beautiful flustered face.
"yes please sir, just kiss me" you whined
jaehyun dove right back into kissing your lips. his tongue fought for dominance, winning effortlessly. you moaned when your tongues made contact, making you tilt your head back. his mouth followed your movements, making its way across your entire face. he kissed all over your cheeks and jawline. his lips eventually trailed up to your ear softly, making your eyes roll back.
"sweetheart, I told you, it's jaehyun" he whispered in your ear in his deep voice. he didn't want to think about work, he wanted to make this moment feel as real as possible.
he needed to hear you say his name.
he kissed down your neck slowly, in absolutely no rush. his hands trailed up and down your sides, asking for permission to see more of you. you grabbed the ties of your wrap dress and undid them, pushing the pieces of fabric to the side and off your shoulders. you pulled your arms out of the dress and it fell in a pool at your seated hips.
"I've wanted this–for so long my dear–you're absolutely–ravishing" jaehyun said between kisses. each kiss went lower and lower toward your bra clad cleavage. jaehyun reached around your back and undid your lacy black bra. he watched in awe as your round breasts dropped out of the cups of your bra. he wasted no time and roughly licked and kissed your boobs. you moaned out softly, the thought of being almost fully naked for your boss on a balcony in the middle of Milan sitting in the back of your mind.
the thought sent a rush of electricity to your clothed core.
he continued his ministrations with his mouth on your nipples, and his hand slowly trailed down your stomach, making its way into your panties. you let out of soft gasp, your hips involuntarily bucking against his hand. his fingers softly moved up and down on your pussy, allowing your clit to slowly warm up to his touch. after a while, he finally slipped two fingers into you, moving in and out of your body at a steady pace. you let out a delicious sound of satisfaction, leaning back on your hands.
"aww, when's the last time you let a real man touch you sweetheart, huh?" jaehyun's muffled voice asked against your breasts.
"fuck, I can't remember" you whined. every other man you had ever been with was inferior compared to jaehyun. you didn't even want to think about them.
he chuckled, "huh, that's because no man has EVER touched you the way I can. and they never will" he said darkly.
his fingers picked up the pace, making you let out a long, drawn out moan. he abruptly pulled his fingers out of your body and held them in front of his face. he observed them closely, making you clench around nothing.
"so messy, but I bet I could make you even messier"
he shoved his fingers into your mouth, and you eagerly lapped up your juices. you moaned at the taste of yourself, and looked jaehyun straight in his eyes. the sight of you two like this on the balcony for anyone to see was sinfully erotic.
you both wanted more.
he grabbed your hand and helped you on your feet. he slid your panties all the way off of your body, and you stepped out of them, leaving your heels on. your leaned up to kiss him again, and he smirked against your lips, smacking your ass as he tasted your arousal on his tongue.
you unbuttoned his dress shirt quickly, wanting to feel him already. he undid his expensive leather belt, tossing it to the side carelessly. he pulled the shirt off of his body, and turned you around so the front of your body was facing the railing of the balcony. you looked down at the city lights and cars beneath you, feeling a rush of euphoria. your braced yourself on the railing and pushed your ass out at him.
jaehyun bent down, spreading your cheeks, and licked a slow stripe from your clit to your ass. you let out a squeal of surprise and pushed back onto his face. he stood back up and pushed his pants and underwear down, gliding a hand down the slope of your back.
"how are we preventing pregnancy, my dear?" he asked, leaning down to your ear.
you reached around his head, holding his face next to yours. "I'm on the pill don't worry. please just..."
"shh my dear, I'm gonna take care of you, I promise."
jaehyun spat on his palm and rubbed it against your pussy.
"mmmmm please" you moaned out impatiently.
he jerked himself a few times with his saliva covered palm and lined his tip up with your entrance. he finally pushed in, and the two of you let out satisfied sounds. he gathered your hair into his hand and gripped it firmly. never pulling, just as a place holder.
his began to pick up the pace and soon enough you were overcome with intense pleasure. your hips pushed back against his, making your ass jiggle with each thrust. you let out a loud moan into the night, feeling like you were on top of the world. who knew you'd end up in Italy, bent over a balcony by none other than jeong jaehyun.
you fucking loved it.
"yeah that's it sweetheart scream for me. let all of Milan know what a fucking whore you are letting me fuck you like this" jaehyun encouraged you with a smirk.
you let out a squeal when he hit a particularly deep spot. you were so close to coming you could taste it.
"fuck say my name baby, let me hear it" jaehyun gritted out desperately.
"fuck jaehyun I'm right there please" you screamed out.
"shit!" jaehyun groaned out loudly and pulled you up by your hair. he pulled out of you, turned you around and picked you up. you let your legs wrap around his body as he carried you swiftly back into the hotel room.
you gasped loudly when you tossed you onto his large bed like you weighed nothing. he placed your legs over his shoulders and dove right back into your pussy without warning.
"ahhhh fuck" you moaned out. you were positive this was the loudest you'd ever been while having sex. no man had ever made you feel this good. it was absolutely sinful, but felt like heaven.
jaehyun nuzzled his face against your calf, placing soft kisses as he went.
"come on dear, give it to me. I wanna see you cum real pretty for me" jaehyun encouraged you.
those nasty words filled up all of your senses, instantly making you cum for him just like he wanted. he listened to your delicious sounds, your involuntary movements from your orgasm hypnotizing him. he wanted to keep this memory of you like this in his mind forever.
he pulled out of you as you came down from your high. sitting back on his heels to admire your sexy body.
“uh oh, look at the mess you’ve made sweetheart”
he reached down and wasted no time diving face first into your pussy.
you let out a high pitched scream, desperately trying to run away from his ravenous mouth to no avail thanks to his arms trapping your thighs in place.
“let me clean it up baby” he muffled out the filthy words against your overly sensitive clit.
you were sure you were having some kind of out of body experience. who knew pleasure of this magnitude existed. even if it was at the hands of a married man.
“sir—“
he pulled his mouth away from you slightly and firmly smacked your outer thigh, cutting you off.
“didn’t i just FUCKING tell you to not to call me that”
before you could correct your mistake he went right back into eating you out. you moaned a desperate plea out to him.
“ohhhh my god jaehyun please” your desperate voice went up a few octaves
you couldn’t hold on anymore and shortly after felt a rush of liquid shoot out of you. he licked you completely clean and tried his best to keep your hips from bucking around. you finally felt him pull away and you tried to catch your breath.
he got out of the bed and went into the bathroom briefly, leaving you to come down from your intense back-to-back highs. he came back to you with a warm washcloth and tried his hardest not to press on your sensitive bundle of nerves as he cleaned you up.
you muttered out a small “thank you” and he placed a gentle kiss on top of your head.
you must have dozed off for a few minutes because you woke up to him fully clothed, pulling his shoes back on. you sat up, still slightly spent from your session.
“wha? where are you going?” you asked him in a soft, sleepy voice, startling him slightly
“shh just go back to bed my dear” he said in a hushed tone
“but…but you didn’t get to cu—“
“don’t worry about it, now get some rest”
he grabbed a few of his belongings and quietly made his way out of his hotel room, leaving you speechless. jaehyun silently made his way to the elevator, heading down to the hotel bar. when the elevator doors shut he pulled out his phone.
2 missed calls: mrs.
you stood in the shower in your own hotel room, letting the hot water flowing from the shower head mix in with the hot tears streaming down your face.
what did you just do?
thanks for reading! please consider leaving a tip if you enjoyed the story 👑🍭

What music genres do you think the batfam members listen to?I ask this because of how little Alternative music fan headcannons there are. I personally think Tim enjoys grunge and or nu metal(Specifically bands like limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Korn, and System of a Down)
I'm not too familiar with genres, so I'll be giving this my best shot. I typically listen to music by the vibe it gives. My playlists include music that makes my brain go brr (the nice dissociation), songs for muses, ones to scandalize my mother, music a garage band would play, songs that make God fear me, and a long playlist for pleasant company.
Anyways, I've seen a few fics where people say that Bruce and Tim share a love of those genres. I could definitely see Tim listening to the ones you mentioned. He probably plays it through his preferred headphones as he fixes electronics, codes, or plots destruction. He also, because he suppresses his anger a lot, probably listens to music like Ghostemane, Kim Dracula, and Freddie Dredd.
Jason definitely enjoys musicals. Dick as well, but Jason isn't as vocal about it. Instead, Jason will listen to 80's rock and 2000's girl bands if others around (he ofc listens to TLC).
I like to think that they all enjoy music in different languages. For Dick and Damian, they especially like music they grew up listening to in their respective cultures. The others, because the batfam is multilingual, just enjoy all kinds of different tunes in multiple languages. The batfam playlist, especially for hanging out in the cave, is chaotic. Bruce nearly had an aneurysm the first time he heard Touch You (Yarichin Bitch Club) over the speakers. The only reason the kids didn't get in trouble was because Damian was out with Colin at the time.
I hc that Cass likes lofi hip hop music. She typically enjoys all songs but prefers those without words (because understanding words still requires energy from her and can prevent her from fully relaxing). She does listen to a lot of classical music, a passion she shares with Alfred.
Alfred, the man the myth the legend, enjoys swing music the most. He'll put on a variety of music in the kitchen (different classical eras, opera music, the occasional musical, jazz, some more modern instrumental music, and some movie background tracks), but the whole fam knowns he's in a really good mood if swing music is playing.
Bruce is the type of person to just listen to what's on. Unless he dislikes the music, he will be fine with whatever his kids or Alfred have playing. He particularly enjoys alternative rock and old country music (like Garth Brooks), but he doesn't usually fight for the aux cord.
Barbara has playlists depending on her mood. Birds of Prey mission prep? Bruce being a dick? Dick being a dick? Batfam drama she has to once again intervene in? Coding nights? Can't get out of bed days? She also has a few playlists for each person she regularly interacts with. For calm or bad nights, she'll put the playlist in that person's comm. She also likes to hack speakers around Bruce and play her revenge music when he's being a petty asshole. Some of her revenge music includes "They're Coming to Take Me Away" by Sloppy Jane, "OoOo1" by galen tipton, "All I see is Poop" by Hobo Johnson, "I Swallowed Shampoo" by Soupy Garage Juice, "I am now going to bark at you" by thquib, and "I hope You Die in a Fire" by Grand Commander.
Duke is most definitely a Mitski, Hozier, Crane Wives enjoyer, and you can pry that hc from my cold, dead hands. He probably also likes songs similar to "Ancapistan" by Jreg or "The Fine Print" by The Stupendium.
Dick's music is either super high in energy or sad as fuck. He loves the songs "Has Anbody Seen My Will to Live" by The Tin Knees and "Copacabana (At the Copa)" by Barry Manilow because they are both sad and happy :) I hc that he likes songs by TV Girl, Yot Club, Joji, and Cosmo Sheldrake. He also has a few playlists he follows of Zumba music. The song "The Masochism Tango" by Tom Lehrer is one of his favorites.
This is already a pretty long post, so feel free to reblog with more ideas! I didn't get to Steph or more in depth with Damian :(
#dc comics#duke thomas#dc universe#tim drake#jason todd#bruce wayne#dick grayson#damian wayne#barbara gordon#alfred pennyworth#yes i do listen to every song and band I've mentioned regularly and for enjoyment#thank you for the ask!!!!#i will probably add damian and steph later#ignore any bad writings with this one cause I'm currently at work while writing it

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look around.
First off, my name is Carys, I'm 22 and I'm from the United Kingdom. I've been writing fanfiction for 10 years. I started off on MJFiction.com writing Michael Jackson fanfic, and I found I absolutely loved it!
I'm autistic and am absolutely riddled with undiagnosed ADHD, but I don't bang on about it, so don't worry. I rarely ever talk about it. That being said, without having autistic special interests, I wouldn't be here writing for you all!
My special interests include the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, films, WWE, and... MUSIC.
I write fanfiction about Robert Plant and Brian May, which is what my blog is mainly centred around.
Don't be afraid to shoot me a message; I may be Northern English but I am very nice. Promise.

@celestial-dragoness writes some fantastic Robert Plant fanfiction, and is one of the sweetest people ever. She's also a talented crocheter :p
@firethatgrewsolow has some of the best Robert fics on the internet, and is just as unhinged as the rest of the Zep fandom, and fucking lovely.
@callmethehunter has great Zeppelin content, like analyses, reblogs, thoughts, um... studies of sorts... and is just an all around genuine person.
@brownskinsugarplum76 again has very realistic and steamy Rob fics.
@nature-and-music is an amazingly talented writer, and I suggest indulging to your heart's content.

Inspired by @henderdads fic. A little thing that entered my brain fully formed and had to come out. (if I did anything wrong here let me know and I'll take it down)
It's not exactly what Steve thought he'd be doing on a friday night, he and Robin have their laptops open doing a personality quiz that the school heavily encouraged them to take.
He highly doubts a few questions (okay so there's at least 50, whatever) will tell him anything about himself that he didn't already know but Robin insisted they do it together. The part that actually interests Steve is they'll get a list of the ten people they're most compatible with, it'll even say whether that's in a romantic way or not. The last question asks about their preference (Men/Women/Any/None).
Early sunday morning Steve is lying in bed scrolling his emails and it's there! The results. He skims over all the stuff about him (he'll make a great parent someday, blah blah blah, maybe he'll read it properly later) until he finds the list. Unsurprisingly, Robin is at the top with 98.2% but the second... What? No way?
He video calls Robin immediately, it actually takes three tries to wake her up.
"Steve? It's," she looks up to the time on her phone, "7:18. Why? It's sunday."
"The email, Robin, it's here." He watches her face as she tries to understand what's happening, barely containing his amusement at that, and then waits as she checks hers.
"Aww we're compatible Stevie," she says with a silly, overly sweet smile, "like we didn't know that already. Who'd you get first with a heart?"
Steve now has his open on his laptop, staring at the little pink heart next the name second on his list.
"Steve?"
"It's... I mean, it can't be right."
"Why not? It got us didn't it?"
"It's Eddie Munson. 97.6%." The rest are all mid 80s or lower and might as well be zero for all Steve cares about them right now. Robin's jaw drops.
"He doesn't exactly seem the type to even take the quiz," she says, "you have to talk to him tomorrow."
"I don't know anything about him."
"Well you've got all the time in the world to find out."
He doesn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day.
He sees Eddie's van pull into the parking lot and Robin pushes him towards it before the engine is even off.
"Can I talk to you?" he asks as soon as the door is open. "Privately?"
"Alright," Eddie says, confusion on his face as he follows Steve away from everyone else. "What's this about Harrington?"
"The quiz? The other night?" Did Eddie think Steve was just going to leave it?
"Oh, that's in already?" He digs his phone out of his pocket. He doesn't know.
Steve watches him read, getting more and more nervous as he gets closer to the end. Eddie looks up at him in shock. All Steve can do is nod.
"And the... heart? That's not a mistake?" He's kind of breathless.
"Huh?"
"Like, you could have accidentally checked men instead of women and that's what you came to tell me."
"Oh," Steve says with a giggle, "no, I'm bi."
The nervous energy from a few minutes ago is turning into bubbling excitement as they stare at each other, both with tentative, hopeful smiles.
"I don't know about you but I really wanna kiss you." Steve says, stepping closer. Eddie bridges the gap and their lips meet. Before they can get too into it, the school bell rings and they have to start heading to class.
"Can't believe we got each other at the top of our lists," Eddie says knocking his shoulder into Steve's.
"Hate to break it to you but you're number two on mine," Steve replies with a grin. Eddie stops walking for a few seconds and has to jog to catch up.
"Oh, of course, Buckley right?"
Steve nods, still grinning. "See you after class?" he asks when they get to his room.
"Definitely." Eddie kisses him again, a peck this time. Steve watches him leave and marvels at the fact a stupid piece of homework may have just changed his life forever.

I read your new Jax fic was soo sweet, it felt lighthearted and refreshing to see things from his point of view. Considering he’s an empath, it made me think if he feels his mate’s emotions to such a deep level. And when things get rough for Jax’s mate, he seems like the type of guy that would be like, “give it to me, let me take the weight, I can handle it.” 😭🩵
Jax is literally so sweet I actually really enjoy writing through his experiences as an empath. Makes me want to figure out what kind of other powers the kiddos can have 🥰
He is such a supportive mate, and I think there could be times when his mate could get frustrated with him knowing their every emotion but he’s not one to let an argument linger, and not just because it makes him hurt/uncomfortable as an empath.
He is very understanding and he might know his mate is feeling a certain way but he may not necessarily understand the why his mate feels the way that she does, so there are conversations had to fully grasp what’s wrong 💙 but for sure he’s always there to give the 80% if his mate is having a 20% day. They’re a team and his love for her runs so deep 🥹

said i’d type up some werewolf au stuff for @hellmo, so here’s an incoherent, disorganized post.
robin’s parent’s actually aren’t assholes here. i don’t know how much basis there is for it in the show/book, but since i see it in every fic, i’m breaking the mold. they’re frequently out of town because they’re trying to find a cure for robin’s affliction, or at least something that will hopefully make her transformations more bearable + give her some control over her wolf side. they’re the ones who werewolf-proofed the basement at robin’s request. they love her regardless of the curse, but they’ve seen first-hand how much it upsets her and want to do all they can.
nancy obviously sees robin as being no less human even in spite of the curse. early on, she once compared it to menstruation (”since that also happens monthly”) and robin choked on her own laughter before going, “that might be worse, actually.”
robin’s werewolf abilities don’t carry over outside of the full moon with the exception of her hearing and sense of smell, which tend to be heightened (although still aren’t as strong as when she’s a wolf), especially during the few days directly before and after her transformation. she explains to nancy that a dog could still out-track her, but with some effort, she could still probably find nancy in town if given a shirt of hers or something.
at her full height, on her hind legs, werewolf robin measures in at a huge 10'3″, but since she tends to stand on two legs with a bit of a hunch, it’s probably closer to 10′. on all fours, she’s around roughly half of that at poor nancy’s size of 5′3″.
the public are very much aware of werewolves, just like they are of witches, vampires etc. but there tends not to be a great deal of them around. witches are arguably the most accepted being, since they aren’t exactly far removed from 'regular’ humans, but they still face plenty of prejudice, especially in a backwater town like hawkins during the 80s. nancy didn’t realize she had any kind of magical capability until she was 13 and accidentally blew up a water cooler in frustration when a boy in her class wouldn’t stop telling her how wrong she apparently was about something and then mansplaining to her.
the hospital staff who treat nancy after her escape from wolf!robin know that her claw marks are reminiscent of those sustained during a werewolf attack, but since even fully grown ass men almost never survive those, they can’t fathom how tiny little nancy wheeler would and subsequently go along with her story about a bear. besides, there aren’t any werewolves that they know about in hawkins.
as i mentioned in my original post, one of nancy’s moonwane potion prototypes does the exact opposite of what she’s aiming for and makes poor robin’s transformation 100x more painful. unsurprisingly, another side effect is that her wolf form ends up being even more aggressive than usual. when robin comes to the next morning, she discovers in horror that one of her shackles has actually been ripped out of the concrete, and the other wasn’t far from coming free too.
steve (way before he ever found out the truth) once called robin dog-breath, and she cried. (largely because she thought he’d worked out her secret.) he panicked, having no idea it would upset her so much, and bought her ice-cream everyday for two weeks to make up for it.
#ronance#robin buckley#nancy wheeler#werewolf!robin#sorry this is short#my mind is So blank today for some reason#also for the first bullet#i gen. don't know anything about robin's parents#i would never try to like redeem abusers or anything#but sometimes i like to explore alternate family dynamics#anyway they're not usually around so it isn't Really important either way#but i feel like if they were written the way i often see them#there is no way werewolf robin wouldn't be on the streets so

I just read your fic "Stainless Steel Sleuth" and I loved it. The ATLA series leans itself so well to noir themes and settings im surprised it isnt done more in the fandom. And the idea of setting it in the real world in a time period that would resemble the one in ATLA, what with the 100 year war being WW2 in a way, that was genius. We need more ATLA in the real world type settings. Have you ever though of like an idea for a "ATLA in the real world" story that was still somewhat following the plot of the show? You know like war and the avatar and whatnot.
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, as figuring out how to translate the Fire Nation's war into something in the real world was the biggest headache for that whole project. XD
What's tricky about any attempt to translate AtLA to a real world setting is mapping the cultures. It's easy to make the Air Nomads into Tibet, and the Water Tribes have a variety of Arctic cultures that can be chosen as a reasonable representation (@mostly-mundane-atla has a lot great information blogged for that). But the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom can be problematic. For a WW2 setting, especially, it's tempting to make the Fire Nation into Japan and the Earth Kingdom into China. But I think the Fire Nation has too much Chinese influence for that to be satisfying, especially since Mai's character design draws so much from tropes of the 'Chinese Girl' and she's the star of that story.
Hence my vague compromise in the backstory where Ozai is leading his own rogue state that mixes followers from Japan, China, and other nations in the area. I did align him with Japan's imperial war of conquest, since they were the active would-be imperial power of the time, but otherwise did a very precise dance centered on Manchuria.
And I do, in fact, have another AtLA AU set in the 'real' world! Getting this Ask prompted me to port my Wild West AU over to AO3. That's a little less real, though, in that I use Steampunk technology and make the mythology around Geronimo into fact, but I still brought in as much history as I could. It was also easier to map, since it was all contained within American cultures. Despite being a short story (and a sequel), this one actually does directly adapt some of AtLA's plot, but mostly just the finale. That choice was a practical one, as it let me cram in the most amount of favorite characters.
It's entirely likely I'll do more writing in this vein, since I like modern history and I like playing in AUs, and I don't see any reason to rule out something with a more classical Aang-led plot. I would never just replicate the plot beats of the AtLA cartoon, but if we allow for something like my Traitor's Face fic where I allowed myself to do a lot of original storytelling, then that's entirely possible.
That said, neither of my 'historical AU' projects were meant to be 'historical AUs.' They ended up that way because I love drawing on history when I can, but I started with the intention of writing a Detective Noir and a Western, classical pulp stories whose look and feel carried down the ages from when those kinds of stories were first being told. I love pulp fiction (despite never seeing the movie "Pulp Fiction"), so that will probably drive my next attempt to bring AtLA into the real world.
Of course, I share that love with AtLA itself. "The City of Walls and Secrets" is fully a Noir tale, and everyone agrees "Zuko Alone" doesn't even try to pretend it's not a Western. So maybe I'll end up doing a 80's Coming Of Age comedy-drama just like "The Beach," although how I'd fit Aang's quest into that, I have no idea. ;)

okay will you please share your sims screenshots of fics? <3<3
be warned, you have just opened the floodgates for me to overexplain every decision.......... under the cut for the sake of how insufferable i am
HWFG!!!!
starting off with Here I Go Again (mamma mia au for anyone unfamiliar). now i actually have a lot more than what i'm showing here but let's say they're... more prequel focused. and thus. kinda spoilery... but they may come later!!! anyway
just picture slipping through my fingers playing and you can tell exactly what's happening here <3
SAY I DOOOOO... I DO I DO I DO I DO I DOOOO
and a bonus, non-spoilery prequel type - silena, annabeth and piper out partying in the world's hottest girl summer ever
moving swiftly and embarrassingly onto my url namesake, the beloved miss beryl. i chose the best of what i have which is admittedly SO MUCH
this one is my FAVOURITE okay let me explain (though - obvious).
left is 1979 (age 20) beryl: playful, flirty, youthful. retaining some of the country aesthetic from where she grew up. modelling a lot around this time, beer ads, cars, that sort of thing. anything that required a hot blonde in a bikini or white shirt. this is also the year (in my fic) that she has an agent, sends out headshots regularly and is not against using her feminine wiles to get roles.
middle is 1986ish (age 27) beryl: full blown celebrity of the 1980s. glamorous, sexy, demanding. big hair, tan skin. many many magazine covers, tons of movies. she is hollywood. this is how she meets zeus, and later has thalia.
right is 1993 (age 34) beryl: the year she wins her oscar, gets back with jupiter, and has jason. she's slightly thinner and paler in this one, with lighter hair, following with the vampy 90s look, swapping red lips for brown. career definitely at a high but the rest of her life beginning the downward spiral.
here's a better look (bad quality SO SORRY) at the differences in makeup, skin and eyebrows (though this was before i lightened the hair) to get a feel of the differences between 80s (left) and 90s (right) beryl.
and, for fun, two party looks.
now prepare for an entire lookbook because i have a problem!!! remember you asked for this... if only you knew. as always, left is 80s, right is 90s.
(everyday category) big shoulders, big jewellery, vs vampy, almost soft-goth.
(formal category) award show chic! a lot more ostentatious for the 80s side but fully glamorous both ways.
(athletic category) definitely took inspiration from like, 80s celebrity fitness tapes (lbr i mean cher) for the left, and then the sporty bright colours of the 90s.
(nightwear category) pretty simple, standard. a big robe for either if someone is at the door.
(party category) some of my FAVE looks. an 80s LBD with big hair, and a clueless-inspired ensemble <3 ugh i love playing dress up can you tell...
(swimwear category) no comment just me being obsessed with sims custom content.
(hot weather category) one thing about me is i am OBSESSED w the like, 80s supermodel in just a thin white tee and shorts look. it's SO good. i can't pull it off being too breasty but it's stunning so ofc that. and a sweeter, softer 90s look to follow.
(cold weather category) this 80s one is my FAVOURITE possible of them all? something about the brown colour pallette and the big loose shapes and layering is very 80s movie to me, like this is always how they look in the films and probably how she did too! the 90s is more playful and cooler tones, shifting into different trends.
that's all i have that's worthy of being seen I SAY AS IF I DIDN'T JUST WRITE AN ESSAY... um yeah i have a sims addiction and being a writer i love making my own fanart this way it's so dumb and entertaining. anyway, hope you enjoyed lol, probably more to come later.
#u have no idea what u have gotten urself into#asks#elegantlyloquacious#bless u#beryl grace#annabeth chase#percabeth

Concept: Switch Willow and Whitley’s roles during the first half of vol 8 and solve literally so many problems
@schnees-and-schnugs prepare thyself for this thesis (read: brainrot word vomit)
So like I finally got off work ... I thought I had a sticky note on this but I can't find it but ESSENTIALLY literally 80% of the Schnee story problems in volume 8 can be fixed if Willow is the one to let Weiss and co in the manor during vol 8 and Whitley didn't show up until later.
First of all it just makes sense from like... an order of events type of thing. It doesn't make sense for Whitley to be wandering around in manor waiting for someone to knock on the door when we last saw him in volume 7 running up the stairs. I imagine that in this the first time he shows up in vol 8 is when he’s reacting to the broadcast.
Likewise, the source of Willows suffering just got thrown in jail. There's no reason for for her to go back to drinking after that - as if she would be upset that Jacques got thrown in jail when Willow herself gave her fully licensed huntress daughter evidence that Jacques worked with a presumed dead mad scientist to rig the election.
So already, switching the two would make Willow seem less like a deadbeat mom towards Whitley - but you know what also switching the two would mean ??? We don't get the stupidity that's the fucking sword to face scene with Weiss and Whitley. I don't think Weiss would point her sword at her mom and I don't think Willow would have a problem letting Weiss and her friends into the manor to get Nora help.
This order of events just make a lot more sense and takes out the annoying parts about Weiss being bratty towards Whitley, Willow being a deadbeat for no reason, etc. I don’t even think that much in terms of plot events need to change for it to work.
I should really make a what if fic with this concept ugh. I have many thoughts about this alsdjalsdk
#Whitley schnee#shit aqua says#i have so much brainrot but trying to convey it into words without literally writing the fic is very hard for me#how is it that i can go from not that much whitley brainrot to all the whitley brainrot randomly i havent thought about this show in so long

Flannán Fest Treat: Nutella Hot Chocolate
I didn’t have time to pull this together on the day it was actually a Treat day, so take this a couple days late (I did do a Treat / Pack prompt that day, but it was fic).
So, after a couple hours of alchemical experiments in my kitchen and months of taking notes on mom blog recipes, I’ve developed what I think is a pretty good Nutella hot chocolate recipe in service of one Flannán mac Lugh.
Ingredients up front:
3 tbsp (~44.3 ml) Nutella
1 ⅓ cup (~315.4 ml) milk (whole milk gives you the creamiest texture, but experiments with almond milk went well, so choose your favorite reasonable milk option [I was scolded by my husband for considering attempting this with strawberry milk, so I feel the need to add the disclaimer for a reasonable milk option just in case anyone else reading this is feral like me])
Optional ingredients (these depend on taste preferences and availability):
Dark or milk chocolate (dark chocolate will compliment the Nutella’s natural taste profile better in contrast, while milk chocolate will give you something very sweet. I am a ride-or-die sweet tooth, so I like milk chocolate for this. It also tastes fine if you don’t want to use chocolate or are using a more chocolatey Nutella taste profile than I have on hand. I did not have cocoa powder on hand, but I can’t imagine it going wrong in this mix if you use that instead of grated chocolate)
Whipped cream (just a solid topping for this in general. Highly recommended from me if you go the dark chocolate route, just for additional taste contrasting layers)
Cinnamon (very nice topping on top of the whipped cream)
Crunched hazelnuts (in case the Nutella was not enough for you, more topping for your whipped cream)
You can make this on a stovetop or in the microwave, depending on what you have available! Though, if you want to add chocolate to your mix, pre-grate it ahead of time! You can experiment with how much chocolate you want to add (I don’t have an exact numerical value for this, as I really did just wing that aspect for me).
Stove:
Take a saucepan and put it over medium heat. If you're as new to cooking as I am, I've been told stainless steel is the best option for this, because there are types of pans (aluminum, unlined copper, etc) that can react very badly to your milk.
Next, you’re gonna add your Nutella and milk. This is going to be all of your Nutella, but only 1/3 cup (~75-80 ml) of your milk. You’re going to stir this mix until it’s fully blended, which should take around 5 minutes or so (this is where I recommend finding your favorite song for Flan and just jamming out, by the way, because you’re just waiting for the Nutella to melt and blend with the milk as you stir).
Once you’ve got your first mix fully blended (should have a nice caramel color to it), you’re going to add the remaining milk (or don’t, if you want it thicker) into the mix and turn that heat up to medium-high (I found out the hard way that if you go straight to high, you get scalded milk and this really, really funky protein skin, which isn’t great for your final product. Like Flan, this must be handled a bit gentler than you’d expect). Once you’re set with your additional milk, you’re gonna get back to stirring. I found a whisk will make this extra-frothy with a bunch of fun bubbles, so that’s my instrument of choice at this part. Now, at this stage is where you can add in some grated chocolate, if’n you’d like. Sprinkle that in while you’re stirring, watch it melt into the mix.
Once you’ve got everything blended together, you can pour it into a mug and get your toppings in order! If you’ve got left over grated chocolate, put that on your whipped cream if you’d like or save it for additional experimentation for later.
Microwave:
You would think the stove version was hard mode. It is not! Microwave for this is infinitely trickier, much to my surprise, because milk scalds really, really easily in the microwave (I should have heeded your warnings, Greta from New Jersey, I’m sorry for thinking you were just being fussy).
Get your favorite microwave-safe mug. Pour all of your allotted milk into it. You’ll want two minutes on high (two minutes is the longest you can go without scalding. I checked). Once you’ve got that over with, take out your mug and grab your Nutella. You’re gonna stir it into the mug with a spoon, keep going until it’s fully melted and mixed in.
At the end of that, you can reheat your mix for 15-second intervals (no longer than that. I checked!) until it’s warm enough for you or to melt your grated chocolate in (mix gently at this stage).
Once you’re set, it’s topping time! Have fun, go nuts, and enjoy!

When uh… When you say Steddie is gonna be in the Winter Soldier Au, are we thinking as Falcon or are we thinking he’s Agent Carter? Like are we getting 40’s Steve and Eddie? There’s something dreamy about them in that era. But it would make for the worst angst that Eddie’s super old now…especially because they’re relationship, while budding in the 40s would have needed to be SO hidden, even more than the 80s. I mean it would probably mean they never did share a kiss, or do more than hand hold for brief seconds, unless they recklessly sought out hidden corners and broom closets… they totally would have if they didn’t tiptoe around like Steve and Peggy did.
Oh but then!!! the saved dance would hit SO MUCH HARDER because they would never have been able to dance in public, only tucked away and private, but now Steve is learning about the modern era and finding out they could dance to their hearts content without the repercussions of the 40s, and He wants so badly to dance with Eddie now that it’s ok to do so…
Now I’m in my feels…I want Eddie to miraculously poof into existence in the modern world so they can have their whirlwind romance, but man Agent Carter! Eddie fully in the 40s and is old now hits different. Sweet angst at its finest.
- ficsandfancies :)
oooooh you know actually i wasn't even thinking about that....BUT NOW I AM.
specifically i'm thinking about that scene in The First Avenger when steve gets the shield for the first time and peggy shoots the shield (bc she's jealous lmao)....could totally see that with steve and eddie.
the winter soldier robin au deviates from mcu canon aha😅 BUT now you do have me thinking of like, specific moments in the agent carter series (i used to be obsessed with this series. you can check my agent carter tag on this blog LMAO) but specifically the moment at the end of 1x08 when she dumps steve's blood into the river and essentially lets him go to move on...
unfortunately, the steddie winter soldier au idea that i had was more or less winter soldier derivative. even more so than the winter soldier robin. from the quick notes i jotted down for it, basically, it's a kas eddie type of au where eddie is this 'winter soldier figure.' cue the: "who the hell is eddie?" but instead of a metal arm and a gun, it's a flash of fangs and claws and wings and rotting flesh. but steve's gonna fight for him. he's not gonna lose him again.
that's about all i have written down for the notes of that au, but hopefully i can flesh it out a bit more soon!
(oh, but i am thinking of The Knife Fight from winter soldier but with eddie and steve...hmm)
(again, i don't really write for steddie, but i adore the idea of 'died and came back a little fucked up' vs 'guy who won't give up and puts himself in danger regardless.)
(oh, also also! if you need a great kas!eddie fic, the unforgiven by my awesomely amazingly talented friend alex!! @gothbat99 ! it's the best steddie fic i've ever read and made me want to start writing steddie in the first place so!! pls pls pls go check it out!!)
#got mail!📩#ficsandfancies#also sorry for tagging u alex but the people HAVE to know about ur fic and i cannot stop thinking about it.#kas!eddie#steddie#do i tag this as winter soldier eddie?#winter soldier eddie au#i mean. there is also the idea of like eddie with the metal arm#but i prefer the kas eddie hehe#stranger things#steve harrington#eddie munson#also very sorry to any of my moots who are not steddie shippers i am so sorry!!#i'm really just trying to get a feel for writing different characters#like i wanna write Will and max soon. so. we'll see what happens#asks

13 and 39?
13. Describe your writing process from idea to polished
idea: probably something i either woke up in the middle of the night to desperately type into my notes app or an epiphany i had while driving at 80 mph on the freeway
tentative outline: probably created mostly while i was driving down the freeway (im serious. my best work occurs while commuting)
actual written outline: me trying to transfer all ideas i came up with in the car before i forget them all. alternatively, i might be staring at a google doc on my screen for like four hours in despair. or i am putting sticky notes on the wall
at this point i might make what is either a mistake or a genius move and start writing from some point in the beginning and decide i'll figure out the rest later. if i do not have an ending decided at this point, the fic will probably be stuck in wip hell forever. if i do have an ending planned, i have a chance.
(firewatch au is an example of a fic i started without having the whole plot worked out, but had a clear vision of where i would eventually end up. it's easier to fill in rising action than it is to fill in the literal climax/resolution of the story....)
i also dont like...write rough drafts. i just basically write fully formed fic and edit as i go. there is rarely many grammar edits or changes i need to make to a scene. i will, however, rewrite and rearrange scenes that aren't working, but this is a more rare part of the process. this is probably why i can never top 3k words in one day even if i write for hours
if i can get a detailed outline, i can create polished work really fast. again, firewatch au (and htbhab!) are both examples of fics where i had a solid plan and was therefore able to EASILY write every day. my unnamed listener!jimmy last life-evo wip was doomed from the start because i had no clue how to resolve the conflict i'd created, and thus it never moved past chapter 2.
39. Weirdest character concept you’ve ever had
i want to do this question justice but unfortunately it's midnight and my mind is completely blank oh nooooo

1, 17, 18?
aw another one! hi friend. great questions.
1. How many words have you written this year?
I'm going to include WIPs to beef this up, so, in total: 277,240. 205,504 published, 71,736 in WIPs
17. Your favourite character to write this year?
I feel like I've really gotten into a Sam space this year!! I think last year I only wrote Dean POV, and this year I had I have to live here and Blood sacrifice sex magic type of thing, which are fully Sam POV, and my upcoming fic Pine sweat, which will be like... 80% Sam POV.
18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?
still Sam lol. I have a hard time getting into his headspace, I find Dean's motives much easier for me to write and it just kind of comes out, where I find I have to try harder to FIND Sam. which is nice, and has been challenging, but he is trouble for me
(for the AO3 wrapped asks)

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the biggest fic I ever wrote (and absolutely nothing else), here’s a handful of ToA fic ideas of mine that never really took off for one reason or another:
After the world is saved and everything’s settled down a bit, Douxie’s peaceful life is thrown back into chaos when the one person he absolutely despises shows up at his apartment and demands Douxie's help with a rather unusual bounty mission. Would have featured the return of my OC Rivan from A Shot in the Dark, but more importantly, would have also been the worst buddy-cop road-trip adventure ever. Mostly thought up because I’m shameless and I wanted to put the Magical Siblings and their Therapy Cat in a nice juicy hostage/bargaining scene. Also I wanted to write a whole bunch of Douxie being deadpan and sarcastic as he sasses the ever-living daylights out of Rivan.
Ribbidoux origin story--pretty self-explanatory. Things go horribly amiss when Douxie is practicing a new spell one evening. Fortunately, Nari speaks fluent frog. This one actually had about 80% of a draft written for it, but I ended up just relegating it to Tumblr fodder because I couldn’t get the story to work the way I wanted. Turned out great though, because @bluespiritslight picked up the slack for me with a fic of her own, and it was glorious.
A few years post-series, trouble is brewing in the now-resurfaced magical community. A mysterious organization has begun experimenting with draining magic out of living creatures using a combination of sorcery and tech. They end up blowing their cover when they mark Nari as their next target for “harvesting.” (Pro tip: Don’t kidnap magical creatures who are under the protection of Master Wizards and their Trollhunting friends.) With the help of the Trollhunting gang, Douxie is able to track down the location of their facility and rescue Nari, but by that point, she has been imprisoned there for two weeks, and is traumatized and dangerously weak after having so much of her magic taken. And worse still, the organization is still out there, and the Arcadian Guardians are nowhere closer to discovering just why they want to harvest so much magic. Would have been a much darker and more serious look at what Douxie might be like if he was ever pushed too far, especially now that he’s a fully-realized Master Wizard. This one never got out of the “vague concept” phase, but I ended up using small bits of the idea in The Final Becoming.
A oneshot about Douxie, Archie, and Nari’s first few days in NYC. As Douxie wrestles with his lingering grief and feelings of inadequacy, he makes a disheartening discovery about his new ward--Nari is absolutely terrified of fire. Would have been the origin story for Nari’s first potted plant. The description of Douxie’s studio apartment in The Final Becoming was ripped straight out of the unfinished draft for this one.
(I’m just now realizing that the common thread between most of these ideas was that I would have had to put Nari in some type of Distress. I wonder if there’s some correlation between how much Nari would have to suffer in a fic and how likely I am to actually finish said fic?)
#tales of arcadia#toa#writing#douxie#toa nari#toa archie#fanfiction#niki rambles#the magical siblings#and their therapy cat#just some behind the scenes stuff i had laying around#thought i should put it here for posterity

hello!! im so curious how you plan your fics, especially frwad, do you sit down and fully plan everything or do you wing certain aspects of it? your plots are always so so well thought out!!
thank you!!
I’m really not the type to create complex storyline maps or anything like that. Honestly, like 80% of my fics are completely unplanned. I have a few bullet points for scenes at most, but most of the time the plot is just floating around in my head 🥲
It usually changes right up until when I publish the fic
#asks#anonymous#like vampluc started as a masquerade moment and devolved into whatever frwad is now skdjkshd#i just have bullet points for small scenes#but the overarching plot is just in my noggin#product of an overactive imagination as a child tbh
