Fic prompts - "Where you go I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping, since there is no me without you." (for whatsoever pairing or character dynamic you wish to write :D)
My love you KNOW it's going to be Fenders and also I adore you <3
(If you’d like me to write you a da2 fic, send me a prompt from here!)
@dadrunkwriting
Pairing: Anders/Fenris
Characters: Fenris, Anders
Tags: established relationship, post canon, domestic disagreements
Rating: Mature
“You’re not coming.” Fenris’ tone brooks no room for disagreement. Somehow, Anders finds a space anyway.
“Yes I am.”
Fenris picks up his enemy-friend-lover-acquaintance’s bag and upends it over their bed of the last year. A tinkling crash of potions follow it, throwing up liquids that stain the glass as they swirl around the bowls. With them are a handful of wooden pens, nibs stuffed roughly into them and worn blunt with use, a thick sheaf of torn pieces of parchment, and an old knitted scarf. Fenris drops the now empty bag onto the bed, “No, you’re not.”
Anders raises an eyebrow. “Really?” He’s already packing his things back into the old satchel, but his eyes dart warily to his well-stuffed travelling pack. Fenris bites the inside of his cheek.
“It is dangerous for you to come with me.”
Anders huffs a laugh. “It’s dangerous to breathe, for either of us. What makes the border any worse?”
Fenris’ mind is dark with memories, and he will not stain this cabin with them. “You do not know them as I do.”
Anders softens at that, the wrinkles around his eyes and mouth shallowing as he steps forward. “That, I’ll grant you. But then there’s all the more reason not to travel alone.” His voice is soft and rough as he speaks. Fenris focuses on his thickening beard instead of meeting the sincerity in his brown eyes. “Fenris?” Anders’ voice is barely a murmur.
Fenris turns away from him, the movement too fast and too explosive for his frustration. Anders flinches, and Fenris wants to kick himself, and doesn’t, taking the restless energy and using it to pace the short breadth of their little cabin. Outside, birds sing in the late morning, and the trees sigh a symphony to the sky.
Above Fenris’ head, strings of dried garlic and herbs waft fragrant from the rafters. Fenris looks at Mercy, propped beside the window look a humble woodcutter’s axe, made strange by the domesticity of her setting. (Like him.) He curls his fingers and uncurls them, feeling the elastic stretch of his lyrium against his tendons. He clenches his teeth so tightly his jaw hurts.
“I am not meant for this.” He says the words to the wooden walls of the building, and the small half-full basket of firewood beside the window. “I cannot be what you want me to be.”
Anders lets out a breath, and the floor creaks as he steps closer. Fenris’ skin prickles with his closeness, but he doesn’t touch him, just stands behind him and waits. “Who says I want you to be anything other than you are?”
Fenris shakes his head, and feels tears, hot and stinging, prickling senselessly at the corners of his eyes. He gestures abruptly to the cabin: to the basin, and the iron bathtub, and the crooked little bed and its straw stuffed mattress. “I do not how to do this for you. I cannot be a husband. I do not know that I can even be a lover. Not in any way that’s kind. And -” Fenris hesitates, breath catching, as he turns at last back to the mage before him. “I am not sure that I want to.” At this, at last, Anders’ expression crumples. But Fenris has grown weaker than he used to be, and he cannot bring himself to take the opening for what it is.
“I hurt people, Anders. That is what I do. And I want to hurt them. I am so angry, all the time. For myself. For the others like me. I want to tear these people apart limb from limb so much that sometimes it scares me, and I cannot do that here.”
The words hang heavy in the air between them, and Fenris thinks for a moment that he can feel the clay-like press of blood-soaked sand between his toes on the beaches of Seheron.
Anders nods, and turns back to his pack, drawing it shut with a toggle. “Right, so I’m coming with you.”
“You’ll be killed!”
“I don’t care!” Anders’ voice is a roar, and outside the chickens hurry squawking away from the cabin wall they’d been sheltering under.
Fenris steps back, for once not afraid of what the mage might do to him so much as he fears what he might do to himself. Anders pushes a hand over his face and through his overlong hair, tugging it hard.
“I - do you seriously think that my life matters to me if you get killed and forgotten by some slaver on a road in the arse end of nowhere?”
Fenris’ hands feel cold. “I cannot be the reason that you live.”
Anders settles a little, broad shoulders dropping. There’s silver in his hair, these days, and in his beard. “No, and you’re not. You’re not the only reason. But there is no world left in which I let you die without me, Fenris. We go down together or we don’t go down at all.”
“I cannot watch you die.” The admission is pulled from Fenris’ chest on a string of thorns, and it feels like bleeding to admit it. Anders’ expression softens further, and he steps forward, gait stiff with the weather and his bad knee.
“Yeah, well, you always were a hypocrite.”
Fenris’ lips quirk, despite the aching in his mind. “Takes one to know one.”
Anders steps closer. “Pots, kettles.”
Fenris falls forward into his lover’s arms, pressing his cheek against Anders’ chest. The man smells perpetually of the sweet, green scent of elfroot. “You are incorrigible.”
Anders presses a kiss onto the top of his head. “You want to fight a one-man war against every slaver in Tevinter.”
Fenris frowns. “When you say it like that, it sounds impossible.”
Anders hums, and his arms tighten around Fenris, his body warm and strong. “Maybe, but we’ve done impossible things before.”

fic writer asks: 3, 37, 42?
3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?
I joke that I'm the "difficult conversations over tea" writer sometimes, and that's certainly true (although occasionally other beverages are involved and sometimes NO beverages). I think maybe also tactile sensations are details I like to include in my writing?
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?
melt into a new life (Guardian (TV 2018)) is a post-canon Ye Huo/Chu Shuzhi fic that is 7th lowest by Hits and 8th lowest by Kudos and yet it is among my favorite fics that I've written!
We don't see a lot of Ye Huo in the show but his chemistry with Chu Shuzhi is undeniable and I love what I've been calling my "Huddling for Warmth OT3" of Ye Huo/Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng.
In this particular fic, I liked extrapolating what a future might look like for Dixingren caught on the Haixing side when the portals closed. And giving lao Chu and Ye Huo this reflective moment when they could be alone together amidst all these changes was really nice.
42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?
Well, comment masters @iamwestiec and @aiyexayen always stand out in my heart because they are so insightful, often catching things in my work that I didn't even realize was in there. But one of my favorite comments ever was from the recipient of an Arcane fic I wrote as a Chocolate Box treat. It does that thing I love of pulling out specific quotes from the fic and commenting on them, and also is just full of such unbridled joy that it made me smile hugely upon first receiving it AND makes me smile upon reread.
Fic writer ask game!

An umpty-billion years ago I was tagged by @adanima for this, and I always meant to get back to it, so here we are, finally. As ever, I am a terrible correspondent, but fingers crossed, I'll manage some responses:
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I'm only including things from my Tumblr era - there are things in various cracks and crannies that have been languishing for literal decades now, but we're not going to talk about those. Arranged by fandom:
The Untamed
jin ling/lan jingyi fml
jl/ljy fod
no jin juniors for hanguang-jun
Bad Buddy
waikorn no-homo fixit
waikorn gay chicken
waikorn only one bed
waikorn subkorn
waikorn threesome fu mark pakin
waikorn RO3
Kinnporsche TS
vp hanahaki
vp arranged marriage
vp age regression
nobody talks everybody walks
I can't possibly tag this many people, and I think most people have done this already, but @fairandfatalasfair took me up on this, so I'm lobbing the ball in that direction.

tagged by @fairandfatalasfair
Show the last line you've written for your wip (or last work, I guess?) and tag as many people as were words in your line.
“It was a disorienting process and one that I usually preferred to navigate on foot, but circumstances being what they were I decided that speed was of the essence so I placed my hands firmly on the steering wheel and pulled carefully out into the street.“
Turns out I’m a verbose bitch and I’m not tagging 46 people so tagging anyone who wants to do it :)

This is not really a coherent comment on anything specific, I just wanted to say that I'm so glad I found your blog, you just have such good takes and complex thoughts on everything and it's a gift.
Thank you so much! :D I’m so glad you like my assorted collection of mostly Jiang Cheng thoughts.

vorkosigan saga?
OH GOODY :D
Favorite character: Ivan Vorpatril
Second favorite character: Miles Vorkosigan
Least favorite character: I don’t even remember his name, but the superior officer from the ice camp + Cavilo’s second-in-command
The character I’m most like: Ekaterin Vorsoisson and/or Gregor Vorbarra
Favorite pairing: Ivan/Tej
Least favorite pairing: I don’t have any specific pairing that I dislike, but I *do* dislike the overwhelming heterosexuality. (Note: I haven’t read Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, but I’ve read the synopsis.)
Favorite moment: “Let’s see what happens.” And yes, EVERY time.
Rating out of 10: 10/10

love at first sight or slowly growing fond of someone? love letters or mixtapes? hand kisses or kisses on the cheeks? understanding each other without words or finishing each others sentences? gazing into each other’s eyes or looking away blushing? longing to be with someone again or spending every second together? laughing together or crying together? someone run their fingers through your hair or gently playing with your hand? surprise kisses or long tight hugs?
some of these are “or inclusive” :P

I do not have pictures but I can tell stories? last summer my sister's parrot discovered that getting misted with water on hot days is The Best, so now when she wants a shower she flaps like she's trying to carry her perch away until we get the spray bottle out. She has a special pterodactyl noise for shower time, and if you try to stop before she's done she will walk over to the spray bottle and tap it with her beak and look at you to tell you she wants more.
oh that screechy little dinosaur! I love her!

WIPs and things
Tagged by @fairandfatalasfair, thank you!
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I'm also going to restrict this to active WIPs because... yeah. As an aside, yesterday, as I was clicking on an old discord chat to recruit a beta reader (I don't often use beta readers), and I scrolled up a bit and found a conversation about a story, that I had written, and my friend had beta read, and said it was really good, and I had no knowledge of what story we were talking about. I had to search for an expression they mentioned in the chat to find the story. And you know what? It was good. Could be expanded. Completely forgotten about it. So yeah... active WIPs.
Fanfiction:
Not Yours
Twilight and Soup
handers time
Dance in yellow
Mystery of the Rose
Soulmate/mark fenders
Original fiction:
Kendrick and Aksel
Madison and Ben
Unfamiliar Stars
Abandoned Spaceship
Also:
Writing advice for the disorganised and jumpy writer
So there.
I'm tagging: @dismalzelenka, @charlatron, @lesetoilesfous, @faux-fires, @midnightprelude, @sulky-valkyrie, @tobythewise, @spicywarl0ck, @potatowitch
