Dear diary,
since I can't seem to find you and I don't know where you got lost in my home, next week I'm coming home and I'll search for you again. Be there wherever you are because there are so many things I have to tell you, and it's getting harder and harder with each passing day. I wedge in between my nerves, hiding them behind my plain mask. How long would I have to wait until I found you? Sometimes I want to spill words, and sometimes I want to spill my tea all over you, and this rage is dwindling, trying to fit into the narrow passage that has been left hollow for the past five years and telling me to do the latter. I feel like I've been holding my breath all these years, and now I can't seem to hold it anymore. The air wants to gush out so badly, and my heart has again started working on its own.

I picked up both The Common Reader and Stone Butch Blues again. I don't like leaving books unfinished.

Over the Top
(Tobias Carrick x F!MC) in a Choices Open Heart Drabble
Thirty Kisses in Thirty Days Challenge with the prompt: a kiss while being held bridal style.
Rating G
Thanks to @trappedinfanfiction for requesting this couple for this prompt 😊
@jerzwriter @hopelessromantic1352 @choicesficwriterscreations @trappedinfanfiction @twinkleallnight @tessa-liam @kyra75
A/N This takes place about a month after the attack and when Tobias and Chris return from visiting her family in Scotland.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"You're watching this again?" Tobias teased.
Chris pushed pause on the movie she was watching. "I thought you were going out."
"I'm not going to be gone long." He eyed the stack of blu-rays sitting on the table. "I'm only going to the store."
She followed where his gaze was focused and decided not to mention her obsession.
"Then, I'll see you later." She settled back on her side and pushed play.
Chris tried to ignore the amused smirk on Tobias's face.
"What is it about these movies that you love so much?"
Here we go, she thought to herself.
Chris was used to the men she dated never understanding her immense love of period pieces. She'd even dated a snobby few who insisted she read the classic literature they were based on instead of watching the movies over and over again.
Not one of them truly understood how these movies made her feel. It got to the point where she would only watch them when she was alone or with friends like Sienna who appreciated the over the top romance.
Since she'd been released from the hospital, Tobias insisted on her staying in his home. After the two weeks spent in Scotland, the couple were once again in his townhouse.
Chris's recovery was going well. And, as she'd done when she was a young girl, part of her self medicated treatment involved all the romance movies set in the 1700's and 1800's. She had the ones that were based on Jane Austen's works, The Bronte Sisters' books, and even a few more BBC adaptations like North and South and Lorna Doone.
Tobias, in her opinion, was an incredible care giver. He'd taken off work the past month to stay by her side and monitor her recovery. He was attentive, patient, and did all he could to make her recovery as easy as possible.
He'd readily gotten all that gave her comfort. Her favorite foods, thick soft blankets to keep her wrapped up in, and her favorite movies were brought in to make her feel at home and to help keep her distracted from not being able to work.
She didn't think she could possibly love him more than she did until she saw just how much he loved her during this rough patch.
But if he was thinking of making fun of her and her movies...
"I just love them." She mumbled.
"I gathered that since I'm seeing Willoughby carrying a Dashwood sister again." He leaned over the couch to press a kiss to her cheek. "I'm curious though as to what about these specific stories you love so much."
Chris narrowed her eyes at him.
"In case it isn't obvious, I'm a hopeless romantic."
"Trust me." He grinned at her. "I've noticed."
She snorted at that. "What I love about these movies, other than the sweetness, is the over the top romance."
Chris gestured to the screen. "Willoughby and Colonel Brandon literally sweep Marianne off her feet. Who wouldn't want that?"
"I believe I've swept you off your feet a time or two."
She smiled at him. "You have, but usually it was to take me to your bedroom."
Tobias smirked once more. "You weren't complaining."
"I certainly wasn't." She winked at him. "But this is romance I'm talking about. Not sex."
"When I pick you up, I mean it romantically." He argued.
"I know that." Chris tried once more to get him to understand. "But these movies have an almost poetic way of admitting to what is in one's heart."
She sighed, looking at the screen once more. "When Willoughby sweeps Marianne off her feet, romance is just beginning. When Colonel Brandon takes her in his arms it's because he's so deeply in love with her. You can see how he would do anything for her. There's a need to protect her, even from herself, because of the depth of his love."
Chris got up to refill her coffee cup. "That's what I love about these types of movies. You can almost feel what the--"
She let out a surprised yelp when Tobias picked her up bridal style.
"Dr. Christy Valentine," he said softly, tipping his head towards hers to gaze into her eyes, "allow me to say how ardently I admire and love you."
Chris looped her arms around his neck, smiling over him quoting Mr. Darcy.
"Wrong movie." She teased.
"It's still romantic." Tobias reminded her. "One might even say over the top."
"There's only one way to make it really over the top." She caressed his cheek. "And that's with a kiss."
"I didn't think the couples really did that in your movies." He teased.
"Thankfully, this isn't a movie." She pressed a tender kiss to his lips.
He deepened it, causing her to tighten her arms around him.
Tobias then carefully set her back on the couch and covered her up. Insisting she stay put, he prepared her another cup of coffee along with a brownie he'd surprised her with earlier.
"I'll be back soon." He kissed the top of her head. "I expect to find you here and resting when I get back."
He told he loved her once more on his way out.
Chris snuggled under the blanket as she focused once more on Sense and Sensibility.
She couldn't stop smiling over finding a man just as over the top romantic as those characters she loved.

Pre-fic fic: Fan fiction before fanfiction
Even though the definition of fanfiction as we know it today has only really been a thing since the mid 1960’s, people have been writing what we might consider fanfiction since before the printing press was invented. Dante’s Divine Comedy, which details the author’s idea of what Hell is like (you could call it Bible fanfic if you really wanted to), was published shortly before his death in 1321, as opposed to the roughly 1439 creation date of Gutenberg’s first press. 
Good ol’ Willy Shakespeare also wrote a form of fanfiction, but his was a little different. Back in his day, it was incredibly common for playwrights to pull from multiple sources to create their works, including common plotlines and the ideas/inventions of their coworkers and contemporaries. In Shakespeare’s case, historians believe those sources were people like his theatre company The King’s Men and the Ur-Hamlet, which has unfortunately been lost to time. He was able to produce works like this because it was the common practice, and because you made your money putting on the most entertaining plays, not by selling copies of your own intellectual property. Shakespeare may have written more collaboratively than most people believe, but he received the credit because he did most of the actual writing work anyhow (Jamison, 2013).
Tumblr media
Did you know that Miguel Cervantes didn’t write the first sequel to Don Quixote? That honor goes to Alonso Fernandez de Avellaneda (a pseudonym), who wrote and published his own sequel to the beloved novel in 1614. It’s unclear as to whether or not this specific instance was the reason, but Cervantes was upset enough about some fan writers to mention it in the dedication to his official sequel (Jamison, 2013), which you can read about here.
Next up is the 1700s and 1800s! Not only did some prominent authors prompt fanfiction of their works due to what some saw as questionable literary choices, some even wrote their own fic. Samuel Richardson corresponded with several fans who were upset at his (at the time) potential writing choices in his book Clarissa, but he was not happy with those of whom wrote their own versions of his works. Middlemarch penner George Eliot wrote fanfiction as a child, similar to the Bronte siblings and Jane Austen. Some authors even published fic after they had become celebrated authors, as is the case with William Makepeace Thackeroy. After he wrote Vanity Fair, Thackeroy wrote his own version of Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe in order to pair the book’s hero with the character Rebecca romantically (Jamison, 2013).
Tumblr media
At last, we come to the first formal fandom: Sherlock Holmes. The man of mystery himself has been captivating readers by the thousands since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started publishing the shorter Holmes stories in The Strand in 1891. Doyle didn’t always want this to be the case, however. After a good 5 or 6 years of writing Holmes and Watson (or as many fans believed, publishing the writings of Watson on his adventures with Holmes), Doyle was tired of coming up with new mysteries to be solved, and worried that he would only be remembered for the characters that he deemed his playthings, less serious than his other endeavors. In order to remedy this, Doyle sent Holmes off of Reichenbach Falls in 1893 and thought he had washed his hands of the whole thing. He was wrong. 
Tumblr media
People legitimately held funeral marches in the streets for Holmes, complete with black armbands. Newspapers reported on the death as well, as fans worldwide mourned the loss of the great detective. Doyle eventually resurrected Holmes a few years later after publishing a few prequel stories, but the damage had been done, and people began writing parodies and pastiches to fill the deerstalker-shaped hole in their hearts and minds. 
Everyone from J.M. Barrie to A. A. Milne wrote a Sherlock pastiche, but some caused confusion as to whether or not they were lost official works of Doyle/Watson himself. One such work was written in 1911 by Arthur Whitaker and was sent to Doyle with a request to collaborate. Doyle told Whitaker that his story was pretty good, and that he should try to get it published after changing the character names, of course (Jamison 2013).
Tumblr media
Prior to the 1960’s, the term fan fiction mainly referred to amateur science fiction written by sci-fi fans that was published in zines. However, it also referred to fiction written about science fiction fans by other fans, as is the case with the Fables of Irish Fandom, written by John Berry during the mid 1950s and ‘60s about his group of fandom friends in Belfast. This Belfast Group consisted of science fiction fans John Berry, Walter and Madeline Willis, Bob and Sadie Shaw, James White, and George Charters. Walter Willis and James White had created the fanzines Slant and Hyphen in response to the lack of letter columns (a major way fans communicated before the internet) in the British versions of science fiction magazines. Berry became a part of this group when his job as a police officer brought him to Belfast and he sent a letter to Willis after hearing about a science fiction fan group in the city. Berry was invited to meet Willis, then later the rest of the group. Berry chronicled fictionalized versions of his experiences, which became the Fables of Irish Fandom. All of the group members make appearances as played-up versions of themselves in sensationalized slice-of-life narratives that were published in Irish fanzines from 1954-1965 (Sawyer 2013). They were reprinted by Ken Cheslin during 1998-9, and you can read all of them here in PDF form!
Tumblr media
Finally, we come to look at Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys’ 1966 novel that made waves in the literary world by recontextualizing the narrative of Bertha Mason, Rochester’s mad wife in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s timeless classic Jane Eyre. In WSS, Bertha’s true name is Antoinette Cosway, and she is a white Creole woman born into a former slave-holding family post Emancipation.  The book gives Antoinette/Bertha a life and personality beyond the “crazy secret attic wife” persona she was given in Jane Eyre, and changes Rochester from the victim of Bertha’s madness to one of the main causes behind it. You can read a more in-depth analysis of the book here.

I hope you enjoyed this edition of Fic History, and please let me know if there's anything you think I missed!
Happy reading!

I am weak for Emma, and I would absolutely die if you would write the prompt "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more," with Austria. (◕д◕✿)
Of course you may, Lovely! I'm assuming this came from the Austen-Bronte Prompt list, and I sort of wrote it with that in mind.
Hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
​​Vienna was beautiful, even when the rain was falling in sheets, lights from shops and cafes playing off the creeping fog, the atmosphere cast in fragmented reds and blues and greys.
You sat above it all, the stilted whites, dingy yellows, and sharp oranges of passing traffic fading into the picture below, nameless drifters passing quietly past your perch like ships in the night.
You were uninterested in the lives playing out beyond your window, your head too clouded by dark thoughts and bitter memories, fragmented distortions which still left a bitter sting.
A familiar argument, incited this time by your pride, triggered by his own. It should been nothing more than a simple miscommunication, an easy resolution, yet-
“Your behavior was entirely unacceptable.”
He made you feel like a child, demeaned, degraded.
“You embarrassed me.”
His words repeated, over and over again, their poison yet to lose its potency.
You supposed, if nothing else, you could find comfort in the knowledge that he waited until you were both in the car to say such things. You weren’t sure how you could have composed yourself had he said any of it in front of his alleged “friends.”
Then again, this was Roderich; he wouldn’t dare be anything but composed while in public.
As if aware of your thoughts, you felt his presence behind you, a chill that had little to do with the thundershower settling more deeply beneath your skin.
He was quiet, thankfully, only hovered some distance away. But his presence was still enough, your nerves on edge from his proximity. “I was thinking about our discussion earlier.”
An ugly sound escaped you, your words coming out just as derisive as the scoff. “’Discussion’?” You turned to him with disbelief. “That’s what you’re calling it?”
“Dearest-”
“Austria.”
The formality gave him pause, a flicker of something you didn’t care to think about minutely creasing his features, marring that mask he was wearing even now. But it faded away, his next words far softer, a touch defeated, almost a tired exhale. “May I sit?”
You merely gestured to the remaining section of the window seat, though found you couldn’t look away from his profile.
He was watching the street below, expression unreadable. You studied him carefully for a few minutes, before finally turning your own attention back to the world beyond this, to the lives playing out beneath you.
A younger woman, rushing down the street to a waiting car. An older couple sharing an umbrella as they moved from a bookstore to the café right beside it. A teenager and what was likely their younger brother, dancing recklessly on the sidewalk, catching raindrops on their tongues, jumping in the scattered puddles.
There always seemed to be puddles, no matter how many times the city tried to fix this street.
It filled you with peace, the glimpse of Humanity, the steady threads of Life weaving constantly in-and-out, billions of stories sharing so many connections, yet not one of them exactly the same.
So why was it yours that had to be so troublesome?
You glanced at Roderich once more, frowning to yourself. For a while, you had wondered if it was worth it, if you should just move on, yet despite how angry you still were with him-
“I think I’ve forgotten how old I am.” His words surprised you, shaking you from your reverie, especially as his eyes hadn’t left the city below, a strained, bittersweet smile haunting him. “I’ve raised Empires and seen them fall; I’ve-”
He trailed off, his eyes narrowing, memories taking him to some distant realm you were almost sure you wouldn’t want to see. “I am so very old, Engel. And I have sacrificed so much over the years, compromised for too little. And all of it? For duty. For some alleged 'greater good.'”
His eyes flickered to yours, every layer of amethyst shining in the gloom, his glasses likely forgotten in the study again. “What I feel for you is more than I’ve felt for anyone in a long, long time. And I- I can’t let anyone suspect that you make me vulnerable. Darling, I..." He trailed off for a moment, the mask crumbling just a bit more. "I couldn’t bear the thought of sacrificing you, too.”
It was seemingly uncharacteristic of him, this level of earnestness, these moments where he dropped that pretense, the charade, gave you a glimpse of the fragile soul buried beneath the marble facade.
Whatever anger and resentment that had still been lingering dissipated with his words, dismissed as you recognized the apology buried deep within them. Your posture sagged, the burden of carrying so much bitterness finally leaving your shoulders, leaving you hollow.
"I just wish you would be this open with your bosses for once."
He hummed, a strained sound that almost shaped itself into a sardonic snort, his eyes once more flashing out to the rainy streets. "You're dreaming of an impossible world."
Oh, did you know it.
A Nation? Falling for someone so fragile as a human? It was the prelude to a tragedy, cursed from the start. The world was full of the wicked and corrupt, people who would do anything for a shred of influence, for even a drop of power. To have a Nation under one's sway-
It was an argument he repeated time and time again, one so familiar in its refrain that you could likely recite it word-for-word, note-for-note.
You sighed tiredly, a sound that brought his focus back to you, his palm resting on your knee, eyebrows furrowing in concern. "Darling?"
"Times have changed, my love."
His eyes studied yours carefully for a moment, likely seeking answers to a question you knew he would never ask. But clarity was never far behind, not for a mind as sharp as his own, his eyes narrowing slightly in the flickering remnants of his earlier agitation. "Not enough." Before you could reply, his anger was gone again, that secret softness melting all ice from his features. "Not yet."
It hurt more than you could voice, more than you were willing to reveal. There was buried the promise just as old as this disagreement, a vow to someday, one day-
You tried to turn away, but his palm had found your cheek, a gesture that seemed gentle in nature but only served to highlight how much of a hold he held over you; he offered barely a touch, yet you couldn't pull away.
"What is running through that head of yours?" he whispered, a slip you couldn't help suspecting was never meant to be spoken. His fingers were cool against your skin, a passing observation that almost made you smile; the old man never seemed to be warm enough.
But it was a passing thought, forgotten quickly in the moment, your thoughts, your focus, ensnared by a delicate touch and a heavy gaze.
Here, behind closed doors, hidden away from judgement and societal obligation, you could see everything he was, and you were breathless at the sight of it.
Yet, as beautiful as it was, as beautiful as he was, you were starting to wonder if it was truly enough, if you had made the right decision. He may have Eternity, but your life was fleeting; you couldn't spend your years waiting for a moment that may never come.
"When," you finally cracked, the weight of Time and the Unknown fracturing your resolve. You cleared your throat, steeled yourself once more. "When then, Roderich? I can't wait for you forever. I don't have that kind of luxury."
Something sharp sliced across his features, cold and cutting in the passing lightning. You nearly wrote it off as such- a distorted after-illusion of the fulmination, but his words only proved your observations correct. "So leave then."
He was suddenly so cold, so detached; in one fluid movement, he had withdrawn from you, his posture returning to formal rigidity, chin setting into an arrogant angle. He wasn't even looking at you anymore, the bastard, focus centered directly ahead, unwavering.
The embers of your earlier anger sparked menacingly, but you smothered it quickly, sensing the tension beneath the marble exterior, suspicious that there was a deeper reasoning for his behavior.
Heaven help you, he was exhausting sometimes.
You moved forward, resting your hand on his shoulder. "Even if I could, you should know by now that I won't."
The truth of it all was that even when he infuriated you, drove you mad, made you question every life decision which had led you to him, you knew there was no one else who could make you feel this way. There was no one who could so easily match you movement-for-movement, who could harmonize so perfectly with your very soul. He was complementary in every way you hadn't known you needed, and the thought of ever leaving him behind-
He chuckled softly, wrenching you from your musings, his head shaking before he was turning to you with a broken smile. "You really are too stubborn, my dear."
You frowned, unimpressed. "Look who's talking."
He hummed in agreement, his hand settling atop your own where it still rested at his shoulder. "Quite the pair we make."
All was quiet for a time, nothing but the rain’s unending song and the distant din of traffic piercing the silence.
For a moment, you could almost relax into it.
Almost, were it not for that voice still lingering in the back of your mind, still demanding recognition.
“I can’t keep waiting, Rod. I can’t keep pretending there’s nothing between us, not when-”
“I know, my love.” He cut you off with an exhale before turning back to you. “Do you know how difficult it is to pretend you’re nothing more than a passing fancy? To act as if you’re only-” He huffed, a note of that frustration resurfacing with it. “Do you know how badly I want to tell the whole world how I feel about you? How desperately I want to show them just how much I care for you?”
“Sweetheart…”
When he responded with your name, cracked and desperate, you couldn’t help the jolt that startled through your veins, the sensation only strengthened by the intensity of his gaze. “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
His proclamation pierced through any defenses you could have tried to build up, struck true. You were weightless, yet somehow his words had grounded you firmly to the present.
The ghostly remnants of his earlier outburst continued to echo their haunting taunts, their chilled claws clinging still to your conscious.
But there was a gentle yearning in his gaze, a tenderness that tugged at your heartstrings. His eyes searched yours, his hand gently clasping your own, his expression softening minutely, words scarcely a whisper. “Please, dearest; I just need a little more time.”
Tumblr media
I thank you for your patience with this one, Anon! I'm actually not a huge fan of Austria, so writing him was more of a challenge than I care to admit. I hope I did him justice though. ^_^;;;
Thanks for reading!

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” (because it's one of my favorite quotes 🥰) for any of the disaster lineage?
“You don’t understand.” Anakin jerked his lightsaber off his belt, throwing it onto the couch. 
Obi-Wan followed, half a step behind him. “That’s where you’re wrong, Padawan–”
“According to you, I’m always wrong!”
“Anakin, please,” Obi-Wan said steadily.
“No,” the teenager yelled. “You don’t care!”
Their bond jolted with hurt that Anakin vaguely recognised, but he pressed on.
“You’ve never cared!”
“How can–”
Anakin whipped around, jutting a finger in his Master’s face. His anger was so overwhelming it didn’t even allow him to appreciate the recent growth spurt that put them at eye-level. “I heard you.”
Obi-Wan closed his eyes and rubbed at the spot above his eyebrow. Anakin wasn’t sure how it wasn’t permanently raw by now.
“That conversation was private.”
“It was about me!”
“And as you are proving right now, I sensed it would cause you discomfort. That you’d overreact.”
Anakin hated when Obi-Wan turned his own actions against him. Made him an example for his own inadequacy as a Jedi. It’s not like he needed his Master to point out his short-comings. He was perfectly aware.
He knew most Jedi didn’t feel blood pool in their ears and electricity in their fists the way he did.
“Why didn’t you send me back to Tatooine? Back to my mother?” Anakin demanded. The last words were ripped from his mouth with anger, but he felt the longing in his heart.
“Qui-Gon had already–”
“Bought me.” Anakin spat. “Yeah, I was there.”
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan breathed carefully. Quietly. “My Master gave you your freedom so–”
“Well since he isn’t here for me to worship, should I kiss your feet?”
Obi-Wan reeled back. “That’s not what I–”
“One Master to another, right?” Anakin bit off. “Watto...you. Why should it matter to me? I’m just a slave, right?” 
Obi-Wan’s eyes widened in horror, but Anakin was just getting started.
“Bet the Council didn’t factor that in when they rejected me, did they? Thought I’d be a problem. Did they know I was a slave? Did Qui-Gon tell them how fucking easy it would be to mold me into whatever pawn they wanted because I’d never done anything other than bend and break to the will of others?” He felt thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fists, but he kept going. “What about you? Qui-Gon had to have told you, right? That the Chosen One he’d found in the middle of nowhere would bring balance to the Force and not even have the capacity to say no.”
He slammed his hand against the back of the sofa. The pain spurred him on.
“No one asked me if I wanted this,” he yelled. A strangled sound ripping from his throat. “The Force. Learning to control my powers. More opportunities to help people. That’s what Qui-Gon said. But–” He drew in a shaky breath, his teeth gritting against the truth.
“But he didn’t talk about the constant beratement from the Council or the dogmatic, narrow-minded protocols of this stupid building. He didn’t tell me that–that...once I opened myself to the Force, it would attack me. The light side? Pure, positive energy.” He released a bitter laugh. “Why the fuck is something so good, so hard to obtain?!” Heat pricked his eyes as he bore his gaze into Obi-Wan, demanding answers.
“When I close my eyes...when I dive into the Force, it swallows me, Obi-Wan. It beats and pounds and drowns me. Pulls me apart from the inside out. I don’t–it doesn’t guide me, it controls me. Hurts me. The Force brings pain, not peace.”
Anakin saw his Master tentatively step toward him. He took a step back, colliding with the couch.
“Padawan,” the older Jedi said finally. Softly. “I didn’t know–”
“But that’s really what you hate about me, right?” Anakin interrupted, catching one last wind. “That you got the short straw. Qui-Gon got himself killed and left you with me and I didn’t turn out to be the subservient slave you were promised.”
“Anakin.”
Blood pulsed in Anakin’s ears. Obi-Wan was speaking to him; he knew Obi-Wan was speaking to him, but–
“You hate me because I make mistakes and I have my own opinions that don’t align with the Code–”
“Anakin.”
“I can’t remember to follow through on the last sequence of your Soresu sequence. I can’t understand ancient Jedi texts.”
“Anakin.”
“I’m stupid, and–and you obviously thought that getting the Chosen One dropped on you would at least mean you were getting a Padawan who was literate, for fuck’s sake. But I’m impulsive and dumb and clumsy and you...you hate me.”
When Obi-Wan wrapped his arms around him, Anakin only pushed away for a minute. 
Pitiful attempts to push at and get away from his Master that turned into a limp resignation. Obi-Wan’s arms tightened around him. As he collapsed into the older Jedi’s arms, he realised streams of heat were chasing down his cheeks. He didn’t know when he’d started crying and he hated letting Obi-Wan see him like this, but he couldn’t stop.
“I have never hated you, young one,” Obi-Wan murmured into Anakin’s shoulder, not loosening his grip. “I could never. You are...everything good in my life.”
Anakin’s vision faltered as his eyes blurred further.
“Our origin was...unconventional,” Obi-Wan sighed quietly, nodding against Anakin. “But I have never regretted it. Never.” He gripped the younger Jedi tighter still. “I am not as liberal with my affirmations as I should be, but I am–so proud of you. Overwhelmingly so.”
The Padawan kept his mouth clamped shut, unwilling to vocalise the storm he was feeling in his head.
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan whispered. “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature." Ok, but this just screams Anakin to me. Perhaps something with him and Obi-wan?
thanks for the prompt! from these prompts
"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."
“Anakin…”
“Don’t talk,” Anakin said, his hands scrambling over the controls. “Obi-Wan—don’t talk. Save your strength.”
He slammed himself into the seat as the engine rumbled to life. If the noise was loud, Anakin didn’t notice—he couldn’t hear much over the roar in his own head. Anakin was dimly aware of movement behind him, and not bothering to look up from the controls, he said, “I told you to sit—”
A hand settled on Anakin’s shoulder. Another at Anakin’s temple. “You’re bleeding.”
“And you’re…” Anakin forced himself to look at Obi-Wan. He found himself looking at the tattered and singed robes instead. If he looked any higher, he would find bruises and cuts and reasons why Anakin should have been able to find Obi-Wan sooner. Anakin dipped his eyes to Obi-Wan’s leg instead, which was hastily wrapped in what cloth Anakin could rip from himself to staunch the mangled mess. “You need to sit. Just…”
The ship shuddered briefly, and both Anakin and Obi-Wan stiffened.
“Did they…” Obi-Wan started to look out the viewport. “Are they following us?”
Anakin’s stomach went cold. He gripped the controls and brought his eyes out to the viewport. “They can’t.”
They flew over the smoke and the flames a moment later. Anakin knew that if they both looked down, they would find more than just debris and droid scraps in the wreckage.
Obi-Wan’s hand tightened over Anakin’s shoulder. “Anakin…”
“Just sit down, okay?” Anakin said. Not quite looking at Obi-Wan, he nodded to the seat beside him. “We’ll get you help soon.”
Anakin waited for Obi-Wan to protest. But all he got was another weak squeeze to his shoulder, and then a moment later, the warmth at his side left. Anakin felt cold again.
It wasn’t until they entered the atmosphere did Obi-Wan speak again.
His voice was quieter this time, weaker, but Anakin could still hear him over the hum of the lights and the engine. “There were people in there.”
Anakin tightened his grip on the controls.
“Anakin.”
“They would have answered for their crimes anyways,” Anakin said, keeping his eyes ahead. The atmosphere gave way to the dark.
“It is not your duty to…” The rest of Obi-Wan’s voice was lost to a muffled groan-sigh.
Anakin looked sharply to Obi-Wan, who had started to lean over.
Anakin jolted out of his seat. “What is it?” he asked. He lowered himself to Obi-Wan’s leg. “Is it…”
“It’s fine,” Obi-Wan panted. “Just…ah. I was afraid that beast’s bite was…just a touch venomous.”
Anakin stared. “A touch?” he asked, scrambling to peel back the cloth and, sure enough, the bleeding had stopped. What was left of the torn skin was a deep, ugly bruised red-purple-green color that made Anakin suddenly glad that he had ruined every single person who had come close to Obi-Wan. Including the person who had unleashed the monsters in the first place—if that person’s body was burning below, then—
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan warned. His voice was tight, and yet still clear enough for Anakin to hear over the pounding in his head.
Anakin looked up. Obi-Wan looked back down at him, his eyes bright with pain and with the reflection of what little light shone down from overhead.
Anakin wondered just how much Obi-Wan could feel.
If he could—
Doesn’t he know? Anakin wondered, gingerly wrapping Obi-Wan’s leg again. Anakin didn’t do things by halves—not for the people he loved.
As Anakin stood back up, he smelled smoke that wasn’t there.

I’m trying to write a gothic romance novel and sort of bring back the novels that were created in the English era, but I can’t think of any ideas. Anyone have any writing prompts?

Things I wanted to say: Yeah, I missed you too. I missed you like crazy. I missed you like you are the only one that has mattered to me in a long time. Yeah, you're the first man after all those breaking cycles of my contagious sadness. I wanted to ask you to stay for a while, to come where I live and hold me in your arms. I never called you by your name because it sounds weird, but every time you say something and your name appears on my tiny screen, my heart races. I wanted to say, Please don't go and don't stop talking to me; engage me in your silly little talks.but last night you sent me something that says "fill my holes", I've always adored you and had a huge respect for you till that moment. Why did you do this to me? I wanted to ask what you meant by that quote. Am i becoming an important person to you or you too like all other boys tricking me into something I've been running away from all these years. I know you were a man that I know but last night you acted like you are someone else that I don't know.it was like I'm meeting an entirely different person.

hi! what kind of content you think fez and lexi would consume? like movies, tv shows, books, music, etc? (sorry if you've already been asked something like this)
Hi! This is such a fun ask!
For movies, Fez and Lexi are definitely into classics. They both love 80s movies. I think someone said that Ash and Fez were watching The Lost Boys in 5x05 and obviously Fez and Lexi were watching Stand By Me in 5x06, which are both 80s adventure movies. So I imagine that they have a taste for classics, but I can also imagine them enjoying comedies, horrors, and even romances. Fez has seen Pride and Prejudice (2005) at least six times. Lexi also loves documentaries, so I'm sure that Fez has sat through many of those, centred on true crime, politics and history.
For TV shows, I'm convinced that Fez and Lexi love sitcoms. I can imagine them both LOVING Arrested Development, but I think they would also really enjoy Parks and Recreation and The Office. I'm sure that they keep up with big Netflix shows, too. Somehow I think they'd watch Queer Eye together?
For books, Lexi is a lover of classic literature. We often see her with books, and we know that she is very well read, considering the poem she chose to read at Rue's father's funeral, so I imagine that she has always been a bookworm. I can imagine her being a lover of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters and Virginia Wolff (A Room of One's Own probably changed preteen Lexi's understanding of feminism forever). I don't see Fez as much of a reader, when we know that he has his head injury, but I definitely think that Lexi is in the habit of reading aloud to him in quiet moments and that he soaks up every second of it. I can also imagine him reading at Lexi's prompting - in one of my fics she has him reading the Harry Potter series!
For music, Lexi is definitely a Swiftie, and she's also a Lana Del Rey and Lorde girl. It just makes so much sense. Melodrama the album has gotten her through some tough stuff. Obviously she has her hyper pop too when she needs to rile herself up to do something brave! I feel like Fez is into older music? I can picture him listening to classic rock, 70s and 80s era, maybe some 90s grunge. But he definitely has a taste for modern rap, and he has heard enough Taylor Swift playing from Lexi's phone to be able to sing along with her in the car.

Facts, Fics, and FAQs
I’m Lovesbitca8, AKA Julie Soto, AKA Juls Beth. I’m a Romance author, playwright, and fanfic writer for the Harry Potter and Star Wars fandom. My debut novel is FORGET ME NOT, out July 2023.
I’m not taking any requests or prompts at this time for fanfiction. 
All of my works can be found on my AO3 profile. 
My Official Transformative Works Policy is here, including information on translations, bookbinding, etc.
You can follow my author Instagram or my fandom Instagram. There is a Facebook Group dedicated to discussing my fanfiction works that I’m very active in called Rights & Wrongs. 
As of April 2021 I have closed my tumblr Asks so I can cut back on social media time. 
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do I have to read The Right Thing To Do/All The Wrong Things before starting The Auction? A: It is not necessary to read TRTTD and ATWT before starting The Auction, but is it highly recommended.
Q: What order should I read the Rights and Wrongs series in? A: Suggested Order: The Right Thing To Do All the Wrong Things Birth Right  The Auction When What’s Right is Wrong (oneshot) Wrong Time, Wrong Place (oneshot) All Right (WIP)
Q: Are you writing a Draco POV for The Auction? A: I have no plans to write a Draco POV. It would be a very dark work, far darker than The Auction already is. Yes, I could only write the “happy, angsty, sexy parts,” but that doesn’t interest me at this time. I never intended for The Auction to have a Draco POV counterpart.
Q: Where can I read the happily-ever-after drabbles from the TRTTD universe? The babies, the wedding, Grandpa Lucius, and babysitter Harry? A: Those are posted in my WIP fic All Right. Or you can search my tumblr for the tags #Lucy and #Sebastian.
Q: Do you have any fic recs? A: Unfortunately, with how busy my schedule is, I don’t have time to read as much as I’d like to. My fear in rec’ing is that I’d leave off many wonderful fics if I provided a list of recs. 
Q: Are you going to continue *insert name of fic*? A: I do not abandon fics, so likely: yes. If there is no update schedule for a fic, that means that I am either busy writing other things or I am being held hostage by my muse. If I take an intentional hiatus, I will announce it.
Q: Did you take down your Reylo fic The Food of Love? Can I still read it? A: I did remove it from AO3. I am turning it into an original novel! I am no longer sending the PDF out.  
Q: What does your username mean? A: It’s two great Buffy the Vampire Slayer quotes smashed together. See this post for an explanation. 
Q: What is the podcast? A: My Alpha team and I started a podcast called Austen, Bronte, and Hugo Walk Into a Bar for recapping Auction chapters and discussing the writing/editing process. We started it after posting chapter 29 and then went back to the beginning, so the episodes are “out of order” so to speak.

Now that I have your attention with my favorite prompt of all time...
If anyone feels like sending some ideas my way, I’m trying to think of some new fun oneshots between 5-20k! They won’t be out fast. They’ll probably show up in the fall. I hate summer, so I’m thinking ahead and I’m looking for things for a fall and winter lineup. I have a lot in the works already, but I’m honestly getting bored with some of my stuff so I want to shake things up, which always makes me produce more anyway!
I want to take a handful of requests now in advance of my next follower party. I won’t be able to fill everything, but I’d love a few that I can turn into something fun!
AU concepts encouraged! Action, Adventure, Horror, and Romance encouraged! Halloween, Autumn, and Winter themes encouraged!
Check my Masterlist pinned to the top of my blog for things I’m not into.
All of my larger oneshots will have smut with some fluff thrown in. So, no need to request smut specifically unless you have a specific idea or unique thought on that aspect!
Characters: Mills, Flip, Jacques, and Kylo. AUs open for everyone, both my existing and new AUs. I am very interested in some good story ideas and/or AU concepts for Jacques Le Gris *wink wink.*
Below are some prompt lists. There’s a lot because I’m also using this as a prompt materpost. Below the cut are some additional prompt ideas.
Prompts or thoughts don’t have to be from these lists at all. Ideas can be your own or come from anywhere! Feel free to send in multiple ideas!

🏤Stepping into a house that gives off all the wrong vibes
🍁A cold day in late autumn, which is silent and deeply lonely
🎹Nighttime in an ancient house/manor, with the tinkling of piano keys from the next room
💧 Rain in the early morning, so dark that there’s hardly a sunrise
⛪A church right after a funeral, a small handful of people dressed in black hanging their heads in silence
🌳A maze-like forest at dusk, with a sense of anxiety as the sun disappears
⛵On the beach before dawn as remnants of a ship wreck wash onto shore
🍂A chilly, overcast autumn afternoon
🌃Midnight in a busy city, sirens blaring a few blocks away
🎃After dark on Halloween night after trick-or-treating ends
🚘Sitting with a popped tired on the side of a long stretch of road, waiting
⚡Distant thunder from a massive storm headed straight this way
🥀An overgrown garden of nothing but poisonous (or dead, dry) plants
🌾An eerie plot of farmland with seemingly no one around for miles
🐊Murky swampland with posted warnings to keep people away
🔥 A roaring bonfire in the distance on a pitch black night, with dark silhouettes crowded or dancing around it
🚧Standing near old, abandoned train tracks when the bell starts to ring
🐟Taking a swim on an uninhabited plot of beach, noticing ripples in the water
🌿An old-fashioned plantation with secretive locals and a bitter history
💀A cemetery full of dead, dry flowers as if all of the plots have been forgotten, some of the stones cracked or sinking into the dirt
🚇A dingy old subway station, walls chipped to pieces, while waiting for a ride home
🌈The sad silence after a violent storm, debris and wreckage everywhere
👗An attic full of musty clothes and antiques belonging to someone long-dead
❄ A snowstorm locking everyone in their homes, with electricity flickering
🍄An enchanting plot of forest or stream, tiny whispers cutting the silence
🌑Inside of a re-occurring nightmare had time and time again
☔Taking a long walk with an umbrella, struggling with a low, low mood
☕At a quiet cafe, but unfamiliar folk are whispering and staring
🌵A winding road through the desert with only one dingy hotel, its ‘vacancy’ light flickering red
💤Dreaming of scraping nails gainst the window glass, and waking to still hear it
🐕A quiet night, the only sound being the call of coyotes/wolves in the woods

👿A world in which masks transform the wearer into the monsters they represent, in both appearance and behavior.
🤡A muse mistakes a monster for a person in a costume, then realizes they were wrong.
❤ An attractive, alluring stranger turns out not being human at all, and has evil intentions.
👥- Muse A meets a mysterious stranger, Muse B, at a masquerade ball, and feels unnaturally drawn to them.
😾A stray animal befriends the muse, but is actually a spellcaster in disguise (or a witch’s animal familiar).
🚘Our muses end up stranded in an unfamiliar town where the locals are murderously unfriendly, possibly even inhuman.
🎥Our muses are transported into the setting of the last horror movie either of the muns have watched.
👊One (or more) muses are invited to a private performance with no context, only to find out that it’s a gladiator-style pit where non-humans are being forced to fight to the death.
👹One of our muses works at a Haunted House and the other is coming through with their friends and – whoops, they got so scared they fell down and oh shit now they’re bleeding
🎃Someone thought it would be a good idea to fit their head inside of a freshly-carved pumpkin, but needless to say, it was not their best decision.
👨‍🚒Our muses thought a seance on Halloween night would be fun, but instead of summoning a demon, all they got was a fire hazard from 50 lit candles on the living room carpet.
🌕Our muses are supposed to go out tonight but it’s a full moon and one of them is legitimately a werewolf. So it’s another night of closed blinds and scary movies.
🤡Our muses both want the same costume/prop, but there’s only one left in the store and less than 24 hours until the Halloween party.
🕷Your muse thought it would be a great idea to play a prank on mine with a plastic spider/bug/rat, not expecting that they’d get punched in the face mid-flail.
👻Our muses slip into the cemetery right before the gates close and – whoops, looks like they’re locked in for the night.
🔮Our muses decide to see an obviously phony fortune teller just for fun, but turns out they said one of our muses will die in 24 hours and now that muse is inconsolable.
⚡One of our muses disregards all superstition or bad luck, but when lightning strikes and shuts off the power at midnight on Halloween night, it just seems a little too weird, you know?
💀Our muses decide to hang out in the cemetery on Halloween night, but somehow accidentally knock over a tombstone and could actually get arrested and/or cursed by the angry souls of the dead.

❝ Yes, ooo, ahh, it always starts out that way, and then comes all the running and screaming. ❞
❝ What an excellent day for an exorcism. ❞
❝ They look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits ‘em. I don’t give a fuck how crazy they are! ❞
❝ Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? ❞

❝ Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep. ❞
❝ They’re all gonna laugh at you. ❞
❝ Be afraid… Be very afraid. ❞
❝ No one trusts anybody now, and we’re all very tired. ❞
❝ Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see. ❞
❝ Just leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet! ❞
❝ Get away from her you bitch! ❞

“You really outdid yourself, huh?”
“I don’t scare that easily. AH!”
“Be careful, they might pee themself.”
“Can’t go wrong with the originals.”
“Ghost stories? Don’t mind if I do.”
“Why do you have so many eggs and toilet paper—you know what? I dont want to know.”
“I’m you!”
“They’re not allowed to have knives.”
“You can paint your pumpkin instead.”
“Who the hell let you in here?”
“There’s definitely hay in my underwear.”

Halloween/Autumn Prompts
“Wait, are you actually scared?”
“So I might have stayed up late watching scary movies and there’s something making noise outside. Can you come over?”
“I’m probably just going to stay up all night so the ghosts don’t kill me.”
“It’s a love potion! What could possibly go wrong?”
“I’m only a witch, not a miracle worker.”
“We only have to make it until sunrise, which is… seven hours away.”
“The ouija board says you’re a little shit.”
“Let’s tell ghost stories.”
 ”If you say let’s split up, I swear to god.”
“Did you hear that?”
“We shouldn’t be in here.”
 “The house is not haunted.”
“Why are you so determined to see this ghost anyway?”
“I dare you to go down there.”
“Is it just me or did it just get really cold in here?”
“Holy shit, why is there no reflection?”
“The moon looks beautiful tonight.”
“What are you?!”
“No, don’t come any closer!!“
“I am centuries old. You need to do more than that to get rid of me.”
“Just one bite.”

“Do you know what I am?”
“You look good enough to eat.”
“I thought I was the only one.”
“Would you like to join me?”
“I suppose my secret’s out.”
“Did you seriously injure yourself carving a pumpkin?”
 “You can’t just say a bunch of words that sound like Latin and expect to make magic.”
“I’m the tall dark stranger your parents warned you about.”
“How did you do that?”
“If you can’t wake up from the nightmare, maybe you’re not asleep.”
“Do you think keeping your eyes shut will keep you safe?”
“The legend said it only goes after virgins…so sucks for you I guess.”
“Your eyes, what’s happening to your eyes?”
“I’m calling it. We are lost in the woods.”
  “Did you know that no one has ever made it out alive?”
 “I told you I carry holy water around for a reason!”
 “We have to ask ourselves: what are magic’s limitations? Like, can it unburn my chicken nuggets?”
 “I can’t get a signal on my phone, the car is dead, and I’m pretty sure we’re out of matches.”
“What is your greatest fear?”
“Do you dare me?”
“I don’t think we should go in there.”
“You won’t make it the night.”
“This was a horrible idea.”
“Nope, I’m not scared.”
“Oh yeah, I’m totally into cannibalism.”
 “Please don’t touch the human remains.”
 “The mayor has declared a state of emergency. I told you we should have left.”
 “Do you think it would be acceptable to jump into a pile of leaves right now?” “It’s always acceptable,” 
“Cuddle with me so i can get warm,”
“You know what would look good with that costume? Fire. Burn it.”
“Wow. Maybe we should stay home and have our own party.”
“I’m not a witch! Just a kind of bitch,”
“Honestly, you’re terrifying.”
“You look way too incredible to wear this for only one day.”
“You look like something that crawled out of hell and I love it.”
“I’m going to be seeing you in my nightmares. Thanks for that.”
“The leaves are the color of your hair,”
"Now, are you going to join me in the 24-hour horror movie marathon? It’s only five hours in,”
“Get the flashlight! We’re telling spooky stories!”
“Settle down, you’re safe now.”
“Who hurt you? WHAT hurt you?”
“I don’t know what it was that attacked me.”
“Did you see what they looked like?”
“Please, help me. I’m hurt.”
“All I remember are teeth and a whole lot of pain.”
“I was sure I was going to die.”
“I would be dead if you hadn’t found me.”
“What the hell was that thing?!”
“Oh god, please don’t be dead. Please don’t be dead.”
“I don’t want to think what would have happened if you didn’t show up.”
“Do you have any idea what did this to you?”
“Was it an animal? A person?”
“It all happened so fast.”
“Stop screaming, I’m not the one who hurt you!”
“You’ll be alright, just calm down and tell me what happened.”
“I’m so sorry this happened to you.”
“I’m not sure it was even human.”
“That looks like it hurt.”
“You’re not going to die. I’ll make sure of it.”
“Damn, it looks like you pissed off a grizzly bear.”
“You never know what might be prowling around out here.”
“Peach. I can eat a peach for hours.”
“You’re so fucking hot when you’re mad.”
Make a wish, darling. I’ll do my best to make it come true.”
“You’re a bad boy/girl but I love you, so I’ll let you get away with it.”
“You’re dangerous with that.”
“Saddle up.”
“Where’s you sense of adventure.”
“It was worth the injury.’
“You taste better than fucking candy.”

 “Is that blood? Is that YOUR blood?”

 ❝ pretty sure this place is haunted. ❞ 
“Do you… maybe wanna have a scary movie night?” 
“Can you say with honesty that you’ve never made agreements with a devil?”
“Can you light a candle or something?”
“I know a way to warm you up.”
 “I hate haunted houses. Why would I pay for someone to scream at me?”
“Magic like this is forbidden, and for good reason.”
“You almost killed me, so no, it’s not nice to meet you.”
“If you carve a dick on this pumpkin, I swear to god.”
“You don’t know me, but something terrible is going to happen.”
“You look good enough to eat.”
“Be warned: what you’re going to see might terrify you.”
“This seems… dangerous.”
“I’ve never felt power like this before.”
“You shouldn’t be out here all by yourself this late at night.” “Stop shining that flashlight on me! I’m not a damn ghost!”
“This is the last stop for miles. You won’t find another motel.”  
“I’m the tall dark stranger your parents warned you about.”
“We almost died back there. Maybe we should introduce ourselves.”
“There will be a lot of screaming tonight.”
“The ritual begins soon. I suggest you prepare yourself.”
“Sometimes the world doesn’t need another hero, sometimes what it needs is a monster.”
“Men don’t fear swords. They fear monsters.”
“The legend said it only goes after virgins…so sucks for you I guess.”
“Why spill blood if not for the pleasure of it?”
“You don’t need a gun. Well, that depends on your definition of safe sex.”
“And you believe you know what it means to be a monster?”
“She’ll break your heart and I’ll rip it right out of your fucking chest.”
“Let the Games begin.”
“No way. I am not going in there.”

“Let’s just stay in here, where it’s warm.”
“Stop trying to get me to walk under the mistletoe.”
“I know we said no presents this year but…”
“Fuck it, a new year is about to start, and I can’t go another year hiding this from you — I love you.”
"This is the best gift you could’ve given me.”
"Please just come to this New Year’s party with me.”

🪞 Have you ever been caught having sex?
🏕 When did you last have sex outside, if ever?
🍯 Where is the strangest place you’ve ever masturbated?
🚶‍♀️Have you ever accidentally walked in on anyone?
💥 What’s the wildest place you’ve ever had sex?
📲 Have you ever sexted anyone?
💦 When was the first time you came?
💭 What’s your favorite fantasy to pleasure yourself to?

DARES.
🗿 Say something dirty to the person of your choice.
👻 Go find your old Halloween costume and put it on for me. Then, let’s decide what to role-play.
💄 Engage in foreplay with me for five minutes with one rule: You’re allowed to kiss me anywhere but my mouth.
💡 Turn out the lights and try to turn me on using *only* sounds.
📥 Go leave me an X-rated voicemail message right now and I have to listen to it in front of you.
🚿 Hop in the shower with me and wash my body, making sure not to miss any hard spots.
