probably the best parallel between bluesey and pynch is that for Blue and Adam, this story is Pride & Prejudice level rivals-to-lovers - each of them going “fuck, him? really? him??” every step of the way - whereas Gansey and Ronan were both immediately and irrevocably in love

oh dear. definitely don’t start thinking about how the ultimate conclusion of the raven cycle is that sometimes it’s okay to want to live the rest of your life or to simply have a rest of your life. even if it isn’t grand. or magical. or special in some way. that just living is okay. in fact, just living is enough.

I really do love how much gansey enjoys dressing how he does.

when he tells blue that he likes her name just fine (but also likes the name jane), he reassures her by saying that "some of [his] favorite shirts are blue."

and when blue teases him for his brightly colored polo shirt at the abandoned church, he tells her, "aquamarine is a wonderful color, and i won’t be made to feel bad for wearing it,"

when he can't wear his favorite yellow sweater, his day is made additionally miserable in a brown sweater "that looked exactly on the outside like gansey felt on the inside"

he's so dramatic about his choice of clothing and I love him for it

on the occasion that we do read him to be wearing a loose t-shirt and jeans, he describes himself as slovenly, dressed distastefully to bury a body.

but he doesn't judge anybody else for wearing their regular clothes. in fact, he is constantly described to be especially attracted to blue when she's wearing some truly chaotic outfits.

he doesn't dress in his preppy-bright way to feel better than anybody, he likes the way he looks in the clothes that he chooses, regardless of how he is teased by his friends (in a way that i would even liken to blue, except his choices are more generally socially acceptable). and even though blue avoids looking at his shoes bc it makes her feel better about him as a person in trb, I like to think that she loves him in an all-encompassing way that includes his choice of clothing by the end of the series.

re: your empathy posts. As someone who probably has higher than normal empathy (I used to ask people around me how they deal with sympathetic distress in common situations that occur in a job and only got blank stares) you're so valid!! The lionizing of this random subconscious process called empathy is so useless! It says nothing about the person and their values! As your other commenters suggested, people disparaging you may just be trying to boost their own shaky feelings about how their own emotional stability is deeply tied to their people-pleasing tendencies.

If anything, I think learning to function "normally" in society with "empathy" makes you more messed up. I understand this person's distress. I acknowledge it, and know how my actions will make it worse. I make them feel worse anyway, because that's the organizationally approved behavior, causing more pain for both them and myself. All the while I must behave as if I am cheerful and unbothered. Internalizing that hurting others and yourself to achieve your goals is Fine is necessary in order to stay sane. This is counter to everything people say they believe, so lying also has to become a virtue.

Buying kindness from the store seems like a really kind thing to do tbh. I am passing you on the street as I am schlupping over to pick up some callousness.

this last sentence made me giggle a lot. but YEAH!! a lot of this is spot-on to stuff i've been thinking about lately. like, "normal" empathy levels seem to be socially defined as "you care about people and want to help them, but you don't care so much that you'll harm yourself in pursuit of that" and it's all just..... i dunno. so much pathologizing of how we think and feel and whether we're Human (TM) about stuff. it's all so Weird

like..... i keep thinking that my lack of empathy gives me certain advantages in social situations. but in a similar vein to the ppl worried about sounding like tiktok empaths for being hyperempathetic, i worry that this makes me sound like an alpha male influencer writing youtube essays about why emotions make you weak, or whatever.

it's not that emotions make people weak or that having less empathy makes me like, a Cold Logical Calculating Math-Loving Strategist. i'm a writer who focuses solely on character-driven stuff, u probably wouldn't expect that from a stereotypically sociopathic person. part of why i LIKE writing character-driven stuff so much is BECAUSE i've had to actively teach myself how other people think, how they feel, how they struggle, etc

a lack of empathy means i can choose not to get invested in other people's feelings or lives, i don't feel guilty for emotionally disconnecting, i'm not afraid of being disliked. but i still know how to act like a decent human being. there's that one post about how stupid it is not to realize being nice gets people to be nice back, and fuckin. YEAH!! it's astonishing to me to read about cases of """clinical sociopaths""" (who are just people who didn't get the 'pretend you give a shit, moron' memo) manipulating and gaslighting people and whatnot. everyone in the comments will always be like "ooo so scary... they didn't feel bad at ALL... so terrifying that people who don't feel guilt exist..." and i'm like.

IS GUILT THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS YOU FROM COMMITTING ATROCITIES???

BLOWS MY MIND. IT'S LIKE..... THE LEFTIST EQUIVALENT OF SAYING EVERYONE WOULD BE MURDERERS IF THEY WERENT SCARED OF GOD. LIKE. YOU ONLY AVOID DOING BAD STUFF BC IT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD??????

good LORD. at least having no empathy means i've had to grow my principles organically. oh my GOD.

anyway what brought these thoughts up today was that i was thinking about gansey and luz noceda, since theyre extremely similar characters & on my All Time Faves list. and i've said this before but the things i love about them (the kindness, self-sacrificing shit, anxiety, etc) are things i don't see in myself. but Wish I Did. like i wish i was kinder on the inside than i am.

but i know that i admire ppl with luz and gansey traits both in fiction and in real life. so i simply just..... emulate the luz and gansey actions. not always successfully, esp because i have a temper and very little patience, but like. i try to be kind where i can bc i wish i was someone who tries to be kind when they can. so i'm just going to be. u know??

#replies #long post #havent edited this so if its incoherent.... sorry #low empathy

feel free to pick & choose if this is too many, but merrily (as well), trc, and hamlet for the ask game!!

holy trinity of media that makes me insane about tragedy!

Merrily:

Favorite character: a tie between Charly and Mary.... i literally cannot chose between them Second favorite character: Frank, to complete the trio, he's such an asshole but i do love him

Least favorite character: Not a proper answer because I really don't have a least favorite character but gussie was honestly done a little bit dirty by the show.i understand that it's a very easy way of showing how the friendship collapsed overtime but the show makes it seem like it was all gussies fault and i feel so bad for her because it wasn't as if she was deliberately doing it it just sorta happened but whatever.

The character I’m most like: hm. i think maybe Act Two Frank specifically just bc im so so in love with theatre. merrily is so so special to me bc it really captures that magic. not a character but i really really relate to Opening Doors bc thats just what writing a show is like or making any art reallly.

Favorite pairing: Frank/Charly/Mary not just platonic not romantic not sexual but a secret fourth thing (including all the above) they loved each other so much!

Least favorite pairing: theo I totally agree with everything you said about frank and meg. i cant think of anyone else i could say so i might as welll copy your answer

Favorite moment: Opening Doors which has grown on me since i heard that Sondheim said it was his only autobiographic song. as well as the previously discussed reliability of it, it's such an earworm, like ive had it stuck in my head basically alll year its crazy. Also it shows how close they were together which makes it incredibly heartbreaking also

Rating out of 10: 9/10. its one of my favourite musicals ever! obligatory point reduction for whatever was wrong with the original production (Hal Prince wtf were you doing casting children??)

The Raven Cycle

Favorite character: Ronan Lynch <3 Second favorite character: oh god. im just going to say chainsaw bc i love her so much and i don't want to single out any of the other protagonists bc then i feel bad.

Least favorite character: Maggie Steifvater is such a great author I cannot name a single character I'm not 100% invested in, even ones that would be so easy to get bored by, like Mr Gray or Greenmantle I need to learn everything about them ever.

The character I’m most like: gansey tbh. to the point where i try not to think about it

Favorite pairing: all of the guys (aka blue, gansey, adam, ronan, noah and maybe henry, i don't know him so well yet). basically the same as my merrily answer, labels don't really matter: what matters is they all love each other so so much its insaneeeeeee. im also a big sucker for whatever ronan and adam have going on

Least favorite pairing: tbh i wasn't so invested in maura and the gray man at first.

Favorite moment: i love it when ronan is protective of chainsaw.. he loves that bird so much

Rating out of 10: 11/10 aka so good its literally having a detrimental impact on my school results and mental health/sleep :)

Hamlet

Favorite character: Hamlet Thee Dane. truly the character of all time

Second favorite character: i think about ophelia every single day

Least favorite character: depends on the production tbh. like i used to not care about laertes and polonius, but i became obsessed with the former either last year or the year before, and the version i read this year (Nicki Greenberg's graphic novel which i would recommend) had a really engaging interpretation of the latter which was so good i got sad when he died.

The character I’m most like: hamlet is literally me btw.

Favorite pairing: tragic danish boyfriends is a classic and brilliant but hamlet and laertes also upsets me so so much. like they are literally perfect foils

Least favorite pairing: ugh. gertrude and hamlet sexually. freud suck my dick

Favorite moment: yes ive seen/read it 5 times now. no, i've never not been emotionally destroyed by the ending

Rating out of 10: 10/10. one of the best pieces of fiction ever. which is a totally subjective statement but also im right.

#thanks for the ask theo it wasn't too many i love ranting about media #my asks #friends!#hamlet #trc #merrily we roll along

wip update, bc of the moving, the shaking, the posting, etc.

things that are done and ready to be edited and/or posted:

Chapter 4 of the declan + ronan fic (prob early next week bc I have dentist appt + surprise parties + father's day this weekend)

Fitzcrozier genie reincarnation fic! Debating if I'm splitting that one in two or three, but will be coming up very soon

At the rate I wrote amnesia, though it's only just been plotted, I anticipate posting the prequel/sequel to that Roy/Jamie before I leave for my vacay at end of month (it's a twist on 'the team finds out')

And the rest:

The outlander time traveller's wife old guard au which is daunting and scary and every time I open it, I ask myself if I'm ever going to finish it. I might need figure out what I would enjoy most, because it's probably a 50k+ piece and even though it's already at 15k, it just feels so overwhelming

Joe/Nicky crackfic about them being unsuspecting henchmen for Merrick (AU), where they are desperate for work and think this is just a security gig. They make a lot of problems for Merrick and soon they are getting poached

RNM Michael-is-a-jeweler!AU, where there are still aliens, and he meets the man of his dreams (who is getting married). Yes, the inspiration for this is Hallmark

Cowrite with Christi! We officially abandoned the second one bc honestly, see point about the 50k old guard fic -- too daunting, but gdi, determined to get this one out

My Blue/Gansey Pushing Daisies AU (with side Pynch) which is a bit closer to finished than I thought! It just needs some plotty wrap-up scenes and more flirting, but that's the fun part to write

The Hangster Much Ado About Nothing inspired future fic, which is also probably closer to done than I think, but I just work on this one so infrequently. I also need to figure out if I'm really going to keep their call signs in the prose or use their names and I honestly have not decided

I have four different Zukka fics, help, including: Bad at flirting (should be done soon), marriage pact with a twist, timeloop with a twist, and cracky Galavant inspired fare

Annnnd then there's a Xenk/Edgin bc I'm weak

And I say all that, knowing that if another Roy/Jamie idea bit me, this list would just grow exponentially, but that's me

Going off that “Jason Todd should be Catholic” post I reblogged....this is so ridiculously niche lol but I need to get it off my chest....Jason Todd is so Ronan Lynch coded

Traumatic reaction to violence that unexpectedly changed them forever, into darker and harder versions of themselves

Molten eyes and a smile made for war!!!

How do you live if you think you were maybe supposed to be dead?

How do you kill yourself again and again, even if it keeps you alive?

Just to get it out of the way yes Gansey died and came back but Jason and Gansey are like the least alike of anyone

Complicated relationship with a parent they once adored

Inexplicable magic that is difficult to explain and makes their lives harder (Like everything about Ronan/Jason coming back to life and the Pit)

General asshole who actually does care a lot

Cared the MOST about one person (Gansey) and slowly came to care about everyone else; fighting and clawing their way back into their own families

It is about RAGE and REGRET. FEAR and FORGIVENESS. It is BEING THE MONSTER AND ASKING FOR LOVE ANYWAY

Ok but. But but. Are there any other parallels? You could go the Lynch brothers route (Dick as Declan, Tim or Damian as Matthew, Bruce as a complicated and dead Niall whose obsessions killed him without considering what it would leave behind for his sons). But I think this really only considers the characters relationships with Jason, not who they are as a person. IF we are looking at who they are instead of their relationships (so yes this does not consider romantic/platonic/blahblah):

It would be easy to say Dick is Gansey. They have the same name, are ~leaders~, and are canonically the prettiest princess in any room. I get it and maybe in the Titans you'd be right, but here, Bruce is Gansey. He is the one with the quest! He is the one driving things forwards and bringing the others along. He's the one with the family name and the family wealth and the family home. He went through something traumatic as a child that irrevocably changed him, fueled his intense guilt and obsession. He brought the group together, and yet feels left behind by them. Someone who cares deeply about the people immediately around him, and yet will not stop pursuing his other goals even if it's hurting them or himself. Obsessed, I think, with proving that he deserves to be here.

Which means that Dick...is Adam Parrish. Like. The constant search for independence. The perfectionism. The bad relationship with his father that forced him to need to be his own man. (Sorry real Bruce but you sucked in batman #416) Loving someone so much and yet always thinking the worst of them. Refusing to be a burden and yet accepting any yoke that comes his way. The intensity of the performance, of pretending to be who you wish you were for the people you care about. Taking on responsibilities because there is literally no other choice, nothing else you could do. Picking the best of your options and knowing that none for them are to rest easy. Valuing freedom so much and giving up your literal body for the quest.

PLUS (less perfect but): Cass as Henry Cheng (and not just bc they are both asian do not look at me like that) Narrative outsider who was watching from afar and put themselves in the narrative. Was molded by shady parent's shady business practices. Was put in a situation as a child they should not have had to endure, which challenged their beliefs and shaped them anew. And maybe like, later Tim as Noah, a bright, fun, young kid on a skateboard who gets himself involved in something too big for him and is undeniably damaged by it. Tim isn't betrayed by someone the way Noah is, but he's kind of...betrayed by the narrative, in a way? Betrayed by the adventure that he thought he was getting. Too clever for his own good, but sometimes naive about people. Lowkey a mirror that lets people see whatever they want to see lol

(I don't see super clear parallels for anyone else lol but I did have a fun time with the thought of Damian as Blue (short/down to fight/has another family/environmentalist/kind of feels fundamentally alienated as someone who is not like everyone else/wears green))

#batfam #the raven cycle #this is so silly and i feel like these parallels are so based on my exact experience and yet also i feel them deep in my bones #meta #i guess if i did do this comparison with the titans #dick would be gansey #which would make jason helen LOL which is kinda of excellent by itself #but idk i just feel there could be something really interesting in an AU like this #it would need to be a same age AU lol but #maybe Dick is in a bad orphanage type thing like in robin annual #but without grown up bruce theres no one to get him out #bruce still saves him by being his friend though #dick and jason both have relationships with bruce and are suspicious of each other #but end up being super close by the end #I also feel Jason would throw Tim out a window which would be funny #dick grayson #jason todd #bruce wayne #tim drake #cass cain

chloe posting abt trk has me thinking about return of the thief and also orv and how orv was able to like. circumvent the issue that both those books had in many ways.

like. gansey living was super anti-climatic. people thinking he shouldve stayed dead like. have their reasons. gen not falling to his death in rott was also super anti-climatic and left me feeling vaguely unfulfilled. but like the thing is is that the writing was so effective at making me root for them that like im still glad they lived anyway!! i didn't want gansey to die! i didn't want gen to die! tbh rott was more frusterating than trk in this aspect bc at least gansey was dead for a few minutes and was brought back for somewhat thematically coherent reasons.

orv manages to pull this off SO well for me. i think if kdj had been able to win get off that train and get his big house like, i wanted that so bad for him i wouldn't have been able to be mad, but it would be vaguely unfulfilling. BUT. if kdj had died, it wouldve been deeply impactful and moving, but i would have been so. depressed. and i would be such a hard death to swallow re: themes of suicide(same reasons gansey staying dead would be really hard to swallow for me). the fact that we get to basically work through both those endings emotionally in the epilogues AND then get the open ending which tbh. its an open ending, but i think if you don't think kdj was awake and himself when they opened those doors, we took wildly different things away from ORV. the fact that ORV says, you have to want it. you have to believe kdj wants to live, you have to believe he got there and believes he can have it, just. hits like nothing else. it works so well, esp considering how much orv is abt stories, how they affect people and about how stories are intrinsically shared experience. whips ass.

Aaaaaaahhhh!!!!! How exciting we have something in common.

My husband witnessed my reactions while reading the series. He thinks Kavinsky is so badass with his Mitsubishi 🙄 I consumed book 1-3 so fast and it took me over a month to finish TRK and he was so concerned. He asked me daily if I was going to read it.

Yes, I am definitely going the read “the Ronan trilogy” (as my husband calls it). I am so interested as to why everyone is suddenly in love with Declan. However, I’m going to take some time off. As much I want to jump right to it, I want to properly “mourn” trc (and Gansey) and read some fics.

P.S. to your friend’s point, yes, one does not simply get over RCGIII :)

-TRK Anon

Hey!! I totally understand wanting a break to digest it all and mourn and read fic and generally become unhinged on every theory and tiny detail. I just hope you can avoid spoilers! I mean... my pinned post contains a massive dreamer tril spoiler so IM SORRY! I love that your husband is so invested. Mine doesn't care, except he'll read the fic I've written sometimes just bc he can't believe what comes out of my head and to tell me he should be editing my grammar before I post anything lmao (I don't think my grammar is too bad but who knows, maybe it is) Ok... you are about to get on the declan train, there is no doubt about it. You can't not, I don't make the rules!!! You're about to enter a world of declan lynch and general lynch brothers/lynch family pain and you'll love it tbh. But for now enjoy the post trk depression and that all consuming feeling of not physically being able to get enough general trc content into you... unless that's just a me thing

welcome to another edition of, “Ange is yelling in your asks about TRC”

- I keep thinking Kavinsky’s first name is Peter because of Peter Kavinsky from “to all the boys i’ve loved before”, which i find amusing bc they could not be more different

- “Seventeen years before, Adam had been born in a trailer. They could see it on him. He knew it.” Adam is breaking my whole heart, i love him so much

- but also?? Adam disappearing??? omfg i read this chapter at work and i was so stressed, the sentient dream woods are really doing a number on his psyche

- I! Love! Helen!! Gansey!!! “Helen very much enjoyed climbing down into other people’s lives and muddling about there with a pail and a shovel and possibly one of those old-fashioned striped bathing suits with the legs and arms.” I’m in love, I want to study her under a microscope, I want to drink wine and snark with her, idk if we see more of Helen but I’m delighted every time she shows up. 10/10 no notes

- the PILLS there’s no way this ends well, i fear for Ronan, but also??? “He just stared at Kavinsky, doing the math: One hundred white Mitsubishis. Two dozen fake IDs. Five leather bracelets. Two of us.” brb screaming

the writing in this just keeps slamming into my rib cage with the force of Ronan crashing the Pig, you were absolutely right when you said this would require my brain

Omg Peter Kavinsky and Joseph Kavinsky really could not be more different lol I literally cannot hear the name Kavinsky anywhere else without thinking "where are the sunglasses and white tank and the shitty-yet-possibly-sexy attitude that makes me feel bad for finding it shitty-yet-possibly-sexy?" This name is gone forever for me ADAM'S AGATHA-CHRISTIE-ESQUE FUGUE STATE IS NOT DISCUSSED ENOUGH. Like, girl. What the fuck is going on?? There were disembodied voices that you heard but also possibly other people heard? And you could read minds? And you walked something like 20 miles without realizing it? Girl, help.

Helen is a mythical creature that we can only truly glimpse in bits and pieces within our dreams. I want a series that's just her being ruthlessly efficient and attractive with nothing fanciful about her except her pink fingernails. 10/10 no notes.

Ronan is having arguably the worst gay crisis/Hot Girl Summer imaginable. Crashing cars, toxic fuck buddy without the fucking, pills, and a lot of weird dream math. "Two of us" is a fucking killer

Ahh, I love these haha

omg bestie u read trc!!? tell me ur thoughts!! or not <33 i hope ure well <33

MOON HI omg i missed u how are you

YEAH yeah i finished call down the hawk like two days ago it was so ugh like UGH. im gonna have to find mi somewhere bc idk how i'll be able to wait until school starts back up. it's been like sooo hard for me to read books lately so it took me like a month to get through all of them minus blue lily which was my favorite and took a week but i still loved these shits so much.

favorite characters were like. gansey because he's gansey but also NOAH 💖💖💖💖💖 noah was soooo fucking. i love that kid so much and i'm so sad we'll never get to see what he was like before he died :(. noah also continually reminded me of @ aries so much and that's part of why i loved his character so much. he was so much like aries. ily aries.

my fave book was blue lily, lily blue. god blue lily was so good i loved every bit of it but the raven king !!! fuck shit that was some goooood horror like damn i wish there was more horror in novels like that i absolutely died at That One Scene with adam. henry was also a welcome change in pace from the chaos of the rest of the characters. i didn’t like him in bllb but he’s better now <3

let me tell you the books were naaaaawt at all what i expected because mostly i knew them as Those Gay Books that tumblr liked or maybe it was just this one blogger who liked them so anyways i was surprised at the plot. like. psychics :0 magic :00 not what i thought it would be. also the person i followed really liked gansey and adam and ronan and so when i read the summary of the raven boys i was like surprised that there was this random chick named blue. shocked, even. who was she.

they were incredible books tho i'll admit like genuinely would have me hooked if i could stand reading for longer than an hour at a time. like the plot was so well written and worldbuilding was so amazing and the characters were all so mwah mwah blorbo. it's only been like 6 months since i started book 1 (im pretty sure it was late december) i feel so nostalgic for the early days :). stupid fucking gansey with his stupid fucking notebook, ronan who had chronic “im obnoxious" disease. adam and his whole thing:(.

i find it so kind of funny sad how ronan and adam and like. and he. and. him punching adams dad like that was whew. also spent the entire book in distress that adam was sticking around so that he could ask glendower for the favor. :(((like that broke my heart ADAM YOURE STRONGER THAN THIS I SWEAR YOU CAN DO IT you are capable of great things babey:((((((.

as for book two. hmmmm. hmmmmm. im forced to admit i didn’t like the dream thieves as much. not that it was a bad book it was a great book but adam was like having a mental breakdown and so he was being mean to everyone and then ronan was taking drugs like candy under kavinsky’s supervision and that also made me sad. to quote myself “i always want more complex characters and storylines with realistic trauma and reactions until my favorite character is mean” snsjdjdnd. mr gray was like 🔫🔫🔫 i didn’t like him but then he was redeemed i suppose. he’s aight, esp with how he protected the kids in later books.

when i was reading i liveblogged in kestrel's server because @littlebluejane had read the books before me and provided excellent reactions to my reactions. was reading out of a paper book so i have like several pictures of pages of the best lines and ouch it hurts so bad. like the dynamic between blue and ronan was so good :(((asshole who cares and asshole who doesn't. the “wrong demon" line from when adam and ronan were driving around town haunts me to this day, and then blue and noah <333 they were in love but platonically.

[SPEAKING OF NOAH when i finally connected the dots in book four and got to the scene where NOAH is the one telling gansey that glendower saved him i lost my god damn mother fucking mind. like holy shit. HUHH. i will never recover. ever ever.]

i would mention shit from like cdth but i just finished it and the series isn’t done yet so we can’t find all the fun easter eggs and. mostly i’m just sort of reeling. so much happened in this book but mostly the summary on the inside was misleading because it implies hennessy and farooq-lane and ronan are all going to coincide but i don’t think farooq-lane even gets to look at the two of them. very misleading smh. parsifal was on my shitlist at first but after he died he’s off the hook ig. matthew and his whole THING killed me absolutely slaughtered me. also the implication that aurora was based off someone else. yeah. a Lot of stuff happened in this book. yeah.

ne ways this got so so long i’m sorry i had to relocate to my notes app bc i was like wait this doesn’t make any sense this is all jumbled up so then i regrouped i rearranged i rescouted and now we are here. at the end of this post. sorry moon sorry followers have fun reading all of this. read the raven cycle. four books all roughly 400 pages by maggie steifvater. good yes yes good.

current fic talk! plans! things on the docket! for the first time in a while, I'm actually making progress without getting new ideas (for the most part): Posting soon:

Zukka comedic/light fic inspired by Galavant, just need to edit the last five pages

In progress (in order of what I think will come first in posting):

Roy/Jamie/Keeley fic in which werewolves are totally real and Richmond FC has the highest population of them

RNM Michael/Alex Hallmark fic where Michael is the jeweller Alex goes to for an engagement ring for Forrest, but that relationship does not work out. This one will be chaptered and the first two are ready to go, just trying to get the last a little more cleaned up

Joe/Nicky modern day AU, slightly crackfic, where they both take jobs as henchmen without realizing they have, and are consequently very bad at their job bc they are good guys

Pushing Daisies Bluesey AU (with Pynch), which is probably closer to done than I think, but there's just one Blue/Gansey scene I have to crack before I feel confident about it going out - also chaptered

Zukka timeloop fic with a twist -- mainly that the "loop" changes each time and there's some soulmate inspired marks. After my three lighter/comedy ones, this one is gonna be a lot darker

Roy/Jamie fic canon divergent AU where they're married & getting divorced (if Jamie ever signs the papers)

Joe/Nicky AU that is Outlander + Time Travellers Wife + Old Guard immortality, which...idk will I ever finish it? Maybe. It's 16k and barely started, so that's where I'm at

#fic talk #the list is so short #idk how to feel

Wren’s Concept Box

i always have a thousand ideas for different fics in my head, so this is where i keep track of them! since these are just ideas i’m throwing around, you’re also welcome to take them for yourself, as long as you tell me so i can go see it and hype you up!!

my current wips generally take priority, but i’m always down to just chat about everything here. i’m also a rlly big pushover and easily convinced to write things, lol, so do with that what you will. obligatory disclaimer that there’s no guarantee i’ll write anything here, and if i stop being interested in a concept i’ll delete it.

Upcoming Fics

these fics are almost certainly going to be written eventually bc they’re connected to current wips/completed fics, i just haven’t gotten to start them yet.

three of swords- power of three rewrite following my other rewrite fics. main changes: three are born in windclan, sol actually has a purpose, and their powers have been…reimagined. also hollyleaf has a power.

sign of the four- omen of the stars rewrite. main changes: dovewing is the fourth cat, not firestar. other changes TBD.

hold my hand (i’ll lead you through)- working title, third installment in the emetophobic!adam verse, but WAY fluffier than the others. more montage/character study style of the gangsey helping adam.

Other Ideas

everything not 90% guaranteed. ordered alphabetically by fandom, and in no particular order after that. a few have titles, most don’t.

BNHA

there’s beauty in the bleeding (at least you feel something)- touch-starved!todoroki who doesn’t know how to get touch except via sparring. eventually some?? people?? figure it out and there is fluff

snowed in- huddling for warmth/mission gone wrong bkdk with todoroki third wheeling, and potential ot3?

only time we’ve held hands (i threw a punch and you caught it)- the title is the concept i just Like It. definitely bkdk, maybe…soulmark fic? idk.

dabihawks old guard au- i wrote in this universe for whumptober and had a lot of fun, so i’m definitely down to write a full longfic with it at some point. when i have fewer longfics in progress lol.

The Old Guard

joenicky character study- them through the ages. for the express purpose of writing their final death bc i have Thoughts and Opinions on it but i don’t just want to write it by itself, yknow?

The Raven Cycle

gansey and the ship of theseus- the world needs more gansey angst! i imagine my guy has weird feelings about being resurrected twice. sarchengsey roadtrip era

pynch & possession- just adam post That Scene at the end of the raven king hating himself/being terrified bc he hurt ronan

cambridge, take two- a different version of ronan going to harvard in cdth, with no murder crabs but still angst. honestly i don’t remember what i thought with this and my notes have like no details but i’m intrigued.

soulmarks- au where people get to choose soulmates, and they can be unrequited. once you choose someone, a mark appears on the first place they touched you, like a tattoo, that represents them. if they choose you back, same thing. ik that destroys the idea of soulmates but i like the idea of the gangsey choosing to be bound to each other.

pynch mind reading- after cabeswater possesses adam, either he can hear ronan’s thoughts or ronan can hear adam’s, or both. then they fall in love, or something.

genderbent pynch- no thoughts i just rlly like lesbians. girl!ronan owns my entire soul.

Six of Crows

character studies- thats all, just. getting in their heads. a little series. i have a nina one i wrote for a friend as a gift but that was like two years ago and i’m afraid to check if it holds up. but i like doing them.

Warriors

mosskit lives au- i had this idea ages ago where mosskit survives and somehow manages to reach bloodclan? and becomes it’s leader instead of scourge? idk about the logic there. but they (they’re nonbinary to me) are obsessed with revenge on bluestar and become the Actual big bad of tpb, pulling the strings on everything.

swiftgorse- i was introduced to swiftpaw/gorsepaw and idk what i’d do with it but i’m very interested

Welcome to Night Vale

ripping at the seams- cecil finally cracks under the pressure of being night vale’s voice. the “stuck in my booth, only able to narrate and not to help” quote inspired this.

carlos 113 aftermath- i have a note about carlos learning about the events of 113 and freaking out but i don’t fully remember that episode or my thought process. i’m still intrigued.

#fic inspo #fanfiction #warrior cats #bnha #the raven cycle #six of crows #welcome to night vale #the old guard #i swear i have more ideas but my brains a little bit mushy #oh well i’ll update as things come to me
