story time i have been using ao3 since like 2016 or something and i did not know that bookmarks were like? private? or public or....well i just did not think about them at all nor did i read all the boxes when making a bookmark because for a person who reads a lot i can't apparently read. so i didn't really realize yall could see my bookmarks until like last year. or that people go to authors they like and then check their public bookmarks and fic reccs.
ANYWAY. i have 512 public bookmarks and my task tonight is to go make like 400 of those private so yall can only see the ones i want yall to see.

there was a post going around about jerks people adding obnoxious comments and tags on their PUBLIC bookmarks of fic, ie, they would be visible for the author if they clicked on the BOOKMARKS of their own fic that are available for them to see.
that made me curious about whether people tagged or left notes on any of their bookmarks of my fic... of course I had to go check (do I like to get hurt??)
anyway, I'm happy to report I have no nasty public bookmarks, and instead found some lovely ones!
Hungry hearts:
Prime, and I mean PRIME Han/Leia. This is captures the exact dynamic that got me into Star Wars in the first place
Courting Princess Leia:
This is canon, I don't even care. COPL who??? This is how it should have gone.
Until we get there:
Anchor up to me, love:
Han and Leia, starting a life after the war, excellent worldbuilding regarding setting and customs. This is a lovely, intimate piece about settling into a place where one fits.
Absolutely perfect fluff and A+ characterization.
for you, the shadows fight:
Luke and Leia bonding, yay!!!!!!! And no unknowing incest kisses, because Fuck that. No Alabama here on Tattoine, no sir, just some slug monsters and very interesting outfits. And cute children :D so many cute kiddos
(that one made me laugh)
and for my Romione fic, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live:
This might just be the weirdest and best post-DH Romione fic I've read. It's so, so confusing and the beauty of unreliable narrators is stretched as far as it can go. Wow. Just, wow.

Okay but in all seriousness I hope whatever's wrong with the servers isn't too bad. Ao3 has been going down a ton recently and I'm getting a little worried honestly? Like I know it's probably fine but still

what's your favorite ship and why? Not limited to any particular fandom
hi! thank you for the ask :)
at any given point in time I usually have a few different favourite ships at once, so I'll give you the most relevant ones from right now:
Beta/Milu: because they're baby and cute and deserve happiness, and Milu seems like the best match for Beta. and I really want Beta to be happy and enjoy life after everything she's been through. plus Beta could definitely help Milu with some science related to helping the Utaru, I'm sure.
Ikrie/Yarra: because I thought about it for two seconds once, and mentioned it to @tjerra14 and was met with nothing but support, so now there's two story ideas floating around.
with this one I'll explain more thoroughly (bc I talked about Beta/Milu a little more recently). thing is.. there's no way in hell Ikrie would have stayed in The Cut considering even Aratak made the journey. so I hc her being at the final battle in HZD and then moving West with Talanah and Milu, and possibly making her way across the mountain bc she's Ikrie and mountains are where she grew up, so the invisible plot barrier would not keep her out of Tenakth territory if she thought Aloy might have come through.
tjerra and I hc her then making her journey towards Scalding Spear and stumbling upon Meat in the clasps of a certain group of Rebel Bandits and saving Meat, but not getting away unscathed, and Yarra then being alerted to her presence. ANYWAY all that to give the setup. (the other story idea involved a lot more birds and puns)
the reason I think they would be well matched is that Yarra is just as dedicated to her people's ways as Mailen was, which is sth Ikrie could certainly understand, but we see later on that she is also willing to change and admit when her ways may cause more harm than good, so: matched in ferocity, bonding over Yarra's pet companion and just overall a fun dynamic imho. I JUST THINK THEY'RE NEAT
Nanno/Yuri: would be my third fave atm, mostly bc the whole enemies to lovers dynamic can be fun, especially where the supernatural is involved. and I love a good you kill me I kill you back dynamic every now and then. so there's that
