I would never harass or pester authors about books releases but if Ilona Andrews next release (or the one after) isn't Iron Covenant 2 i'll cry.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel so sorry for Hugh. His whole life was dedicated to Roland, everything he did was for him. All he ever wanted was for Roland to love him and be proud of him. He was 100% a product of Rolands making and Roland just threw him away like he was nothing.

20 questions for fic writers
tagged by @starrybouquet (thank you!!)
1. how many works do you have on Ao3?
50 (actually 51 if you count the one that hasn't been revealed yet)
2. what's your total Ao3 word count?
269,637
3. what fandoms do you write for?
I have posted in 18 different fandoms on ao3 but most recently 911, Top Gun and The Old Guard
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
my heart is working overtime (e, 911, buddie, 4k)
is forever enough (e, 911, buddie, 10,4k)
lover good be good to me (e, the old guard, joe x nicky, 20.4k)
a twister to blow everything down (t, 911, buddie, 17.2k)
when one plus one equals three (t, 911, buddie, 3.6k)
(gonna also say how blown away i was by the reception to my heart is working overtime, considering it really is one of my sillier fics)
5. do you respond to comments?
yeah, it typically won't be right away, but i do tend to reply to comments definitely! on a multi-chapter fic it doesn't tend to be until i'm posting the next chapter
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
the sound of glass (kate daniels, m, hugh d'ambray x christopher steed)
i wrote this fic for the kate daniels series last year for yuletide. i kept it within canon parameters and therefore there was no way for this pairings ending to be anything but angsty. to this day my fic is the only one in that pairing tag.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
either is forever enough (mentioned above) or put a hold on my heart (e, tgm, rooster x phoenix, currently sitting at about 31k) which i haven't finished posting yet, but like i did finish writing it and let me tell you that ending is some of the sappiest shit i've ever written
8. Do you get hate on fics?
i have. both times i deleted the comment with the intention of moving on, the second time the commenter didn't let me do that so i responded with a rocky horror gif
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i didn't used to but boy howdy those scenes sure do seem to be finding their way into my fics. i have a wip in the works that opens practically right out the gate with two explicit scenes. it took me a bit to get back into m/f smut after writing so much m/m for buddie. (i haven't posted any f/f but i have written it for an original work)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
yep! only one and it was a cross between the old guard and leverage and it was such a fun time actually
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
if so i don't know about it
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
nope
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
nothing beyond bouncing ideas back and forth with others
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
oh god. i have like. the ones that scratch an itch in my brain and ones that i love writing for. i got new ones this year (icemav and rooster x phoenix) i love writing buck x eddie and i have had a lot of fun writing book of nile.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i have a couple of ideas that i started and then kind of moved on from those fandoms (i had a couple of hp wips that i was excited about but will now never finish) but really a lot of what i have sitting in my docs that are unfinished are things i would like to come back to someday
16. What are your writing strengths?
dialogue, probably. and humor
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
i've had to spend so much time developing my imagery skills, and describing action. explicit scenes are such a challenge for me, from vocabulary to action. but as i work on them more i find myself developing those. but all of that are still very much weak points for me
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i won't really do it unless it's just a few words. i did it in a book of nile fic a while back, but i kept it to a few french phrases that i could translate in text.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
the first fandom i ever posted fic for was the librarians. i actually wrote some doctor x rose stuff that never went beyond the privacy of my own docs.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
i'll do three that i'm really proud of (and a bonus one that i can't name because it hasn't been revealed yet)
put a hold on my heart (i just am so fond of it and all the little details that i came up with for the story some of which will be expanded on in other fics)
words i've never said (it was fun to write a mistaken identity christmas fic for buddie and i really do like how it came out)
let's get lost (and let the good times roll) which i wrote as a companion to lover be good to me (mentioned above) and i just really liked getting to explore and expound on another facet of that story and i really liked the character dynamics i created
tagging (no pressure of course!): @natashatrace, @reachingforaspark, @ladywaffles, @redbelles

I confess that i love the thought of Hugh and Kate being a couple. I love Hugh x Elara, but the toxicity of Hugh x Kate would have been fun. 😅

Elara: Whoops.
Hugh: Whoops? Whoops? This is not a “Whoops” situation. We are far past whoops. Whoops is a distant speck in the rearview mirror. We are solidly in “Oh fuck” territory, and I expect you to act like it.

I have another one! (that might have gotten unpopular now that Iron & Magic exists): Fuck Hugh D’ambray (yes, still, always)
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
*heavy sigh*
Stop judging me. I can feel your judgment.
Listen, Hugh is the exact kind of asshole I lose my whole mind over (extremely prickly, super over people as a general concept, has a soft squishy middle bit but is, quite frankly, mad as hell about it). Like, yes, I know, he is a bad, rude man who did awful things to all of the favs. I am definitely not going to fall back on the whole iT wAsn’T hIS fAuLT argument because I find that kind of character excusing generally inane (*stares in that other author that retconned an entire book and a half in a single chapter to make the antagonist a pure and shiny love interest* EMBRACE UNCOMFORTABLE COMPLEXITY YOU COWARDS (not you, the author)) so instead I will trot out ye olde classic: BUT DID YOU (they) DIE?????????
Idk man, Elara likes him, Kate likes him, Bucky likes him, I stand in good company okay???? I refuse to justify my love for a burly soldier man who shamelessly rides a white unicorn and loves it for the Sheer Drama™️ of it all.
Plus he’s charming as hell, and I am a known sucker for the charm offensive I SAID STOP JUDGING ME I AM WEAK I DONT CARE
#tbh i dont know how popular or unpopular the opinion is?#most of the IA fandom i follow are all about hidden legacy rn#which speaking of#you've read right?????#bc if not omg get on it the baylors are The Best#i'll read psy/changling (? tell me more)#unpopular opinion meme#hugh d'ambray#ilona andrews#why are you coming for the favs like this what did i ever do to you

i'm sorry but does anyone else remember that the iron dogs found a karaoke machine on one of their salvaging runs in iron & magic and hugh said they'd test if it still worked once tech was up and then. we never heard about it again. bc is2g that potential scene lives rent free in my head i'm-

kate daniels world meme ≡ [1/20] chapters: magic rises, chapter xv
I walked him backward across the courtyard. It was him and me and two swords. I could go on forever. I would go on forever. He would slow down first.
Die, Hugh. Die for me.
Die.
[...]
I had to disengage. I wanted to keep fighting so bad, it hurt.
I thrust to Hugh's chest, dropping the angle sharply. He parried, but we both knew it was a quarter of an inch too low. My blade slid along his and I felt it sink into his right oblique muscle. Anger faded from his features. The wall was right behind him. Hugh took a slow, deliberate step back. I followed, my sword an inch into his upper stomach. If I pressed, he'd suffer a lacerated liver.
He leaned against the wall. A slow smile stretched his bloodstained lips.
"I'd like to hear it."
Hugh leaned forward, forcing the sword to bite deeper into his muscle. A strange expression claimed his face, a kind of focused but slightly amused look, possessive, no, inviting . . .
Hugh opened his mouth. "Uncle."

Aster-ria's Otps
Elara Harper and Hugh D'ambray (The Iron Covenant Series by Ilona Andrews)
"She was only a few feet away, walking to her bedroom. The sheets where she’d lain, curled up against him, still held the warmth of her body.
He missed her the moment the door closed behind her. His mind conjured up her face, her scent, the way her skin glided against his. The ache rose in him.
He wanted her back. He would get her back. But first, he had to make sure they survived."
