20 questions for fic writers
tagged by @thewolvesof1998 thank u bud i’m procrastinating packing and this was fun
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
seven!
2. what’s your total ao3 word count?
129,484 which is a fake number to me
3. what fandoms do you write for?
nothing has made me as insane in my life as network television procedural drama 911 on abc, so
4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
you can start a family who will always show you love
let the world have its way with you
my hearts over-pumping and your mouth is an ambulance
like a dog with a bird at your door
i like the summer rain (i like the sounds you make)
5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?
i try very hard to because they make me so happy and it’s unbelievably kind of people to take the time to leave them!!! However i sometimes leave it too long and then worry it’s weird to reply after like. a month. which as a fic reader i wouldn’t give a shit about so idk what my problem is!!!! i will reply i will just maybe take a hot sec to do it
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i don’t have any i’m a happily ever after or bust kinda guy in my own head if nowhere else…… angstiest is probably the sound of love astounds me if only because it ends post-feelings realisation but still pre-relationship
7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
they’re all so happy omg. i will say with great personal bias it’s my heart’s over-pumping but also i have. a sequel in the works….
8. do you get hate on fics?
no people have been very very very lovely but also sjjsjsjs i’ve not been here super long. the funniest comment i’ve gotten was on my first fic where someone was like i liked this but it is jarringly inaccurate as mcdonald’s in california doesn’t have a veggie burger option 😭 i cried laughing im so sorry to u americans. pls petition your local mcdonald’s to stock the mcplant it slaps
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
have written two e-rated fics….. it’s very fun but i don’t think i’m very good so i’d like to practice actually (maybe some sexy prompts after i finish the bed-sharing ones?) just the regular kind for now like i love buck and eddie desperately and am myself into a million things but i don’t know how kinky they would actually get in my own head. so just a little gross with it for now i guess
10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
nope!
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
nope
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
no that would be SICK. @alliaskisthepossibilityoflove is podficcing bucket list fic which is so very cool of her!
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
no omg i don’t know how y’all do it i’m bad at group projects but also this sounds soooooo fun. if also deeply stressful
14. what’s your all time favorite ship?
if that’s synonymous with most likely to get you institutionalised, uh. gestures around us. otherwise mulder/scully and i am just now right as i’m typing this realising i’ve never ever in my life actually read x files fic what the fuck. also steve/bucky but i haven’t read fic since 2017 probably
15. what’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
listen i have not written a word for x files au past that one snip i shared forever ago. i want to soooo bad i’ve talked about it to some of you very rabidly but. it does not want to be written and if it did it would have to be so fucking long which is very daunting to me. not saying i’ve put her in the ground yet but. we might need some necromancing
16. what are your writing strengths?
i think i’m pretty good at writing in character? mostly? sometimes i struggle with buck just because i think we’re very similar and i project a little and then have to go back and fix it lmao but for the most part i think i’m good at that! and i have a lot of fun writing dialogue
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
plot!!!!!! and pacing!!!!!!!!!!! also my inability to write non-linearly omg if i get stuck i just get Stuck i can’t jump ahead
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
oooh i love it and would love to include more than the teeniest bits i have but i’m so conscious about it sounding natural and not stiff to people whose language it actually is (shout out and a million kisses to @eddiebabygirldiaz for fixing the spanish in i love you like a dog!!!!!)
19. first fandom you wrote for?
911 babey!
20. favorite fic you’ve written?
my heart’s over-pumping and your mouth is an ambulance !!! not just because it was the first fic i posted after joining tumblr fandom but. idk it is so so so special to me like it makes me so happy and when i think about it i’m like. hey u wrote that. good for u my dude. and also maybe i just associate it with meeting a bunch of you whjsjssjsj
tagging @callaplums @eddiebabygirldiaz @housewifebuck @rewritetheending @try-set-me-on-fire @onward--upward @anxieteandbiscuits @devirnis @athenagranted if anyone wants to do this i’m nosy soz if you already have !!!!

i saw some people on the dash doing this game, and thought — why not? i need some motivation to write anyways lol
Rules: make a 24-hour poll with the names of your wips, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner got
longer explanations + an excerpt from each wip will be below the cut 🤸‍♀️
the purity principle | stepbro!draken
— your step-brother wants to keep you safe and pure, but you don’t make it very easy. he won’t pop your cherry though, no matter what. but there are… other things he could do to keep you satisfied. (pwp, purity and anal <3)
Tumblr media
home/sickness | exbf!nishinoya
— you find yourself back in your hometown, much to your dismay. but your high school sweetheart is also back in town. maybe reconnecting with him will help you reconnect with yourself. (possibly multi-chap, v fluffy, a bit of a slow burn that will eventually have smut ?)
Tumblr media
a fatal disease with you | babydaddy!touya
— you wake up with your baby’s father in your bed… again. the two of you simply can’t be together, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. (angst with a side of porn. this one has been in my drafts for a while, and it’s one i rly rlyyy would like to finish one day. also this title has changed so many times and may change again lol)
Tumblr media
and the monsters will fade with time (a sun killer lullaby ch. 3) | resurrected!kirishima
— the continuation of a sun killer lullaby that i have been putting off for too long IM SRY. there is porn, and there is more gore, and there is actual plot progression. 🤸‍♀️
Tumblr media
mama, we all go to hell | halfbrother!draken
— you didn’t even know you had a brother. now he’s your only refuge. (born from writing ‘the purity principle’ and feeling like i wanted an incest fic that was darker. i didn’t want to scrap tpp though, so i started this one. it heavily revolves around their shared but very different mommy issues, they are codependent, ken is protective, there is fucked up incest porn. yeah.)

If you are posting any fics this week what ones?
yes ma’am!! def will be in a better writing rhythm from now on because school is back and i’m starting to study for the LSAT (law school exam… idk if that’s an international test but i feel that it isn’t) so i’ll be procrastinating with writing which is always fun for you guys
tonight i’m gonna try to finish the part 3 to the leah x reader ACL fic which has been sitting in my drafts for… ever
i’m pretty excited about the next part of my ona fic so that might be out soon
i’ve got 2 barca x reader recs i want to write this week
i know i said i was gonna write a part 2 to don’t let this darkness fool you but honestly… i’ve tried like 6 times to start it and have no idea what to do with it. so that’s on pause for a bit.
i have so many recs i want to write but i am seriously sick in the head and i come up with a new idea and i have to write that before i write anything else and then recs pile up and i have 26 wips and i am stressed. if you’ve sent a request and i haven’t written it yet, this is why 🙃 im working on it though
also i had an ingrid x mapi x reader idea if people are interested :)
if you read all of that, i love you.

WIP tag game!
tagged by @wario-speedwagon ty for tagging me!!
Rules: In a new post, 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 of it or tell them something about it!
here's a ton of shit from my notes app and docs. some of them have actual words done and others are just outlines or vague story ideas that havent been started or even outlined yet, but i vaguely know where im going with them
"doll" (thats it i couldnt figure out what to name it) like half an outline, a bit of maths to figure out the timeline but thankfully it has an actual storyline.
"flowers for the sick and dead" a wip one-shot ive been working on for over a month and still am not even halfway through with
"all good things ch2" my wip longfic (probably.. dont even know where its going) thats on hiatus pretty much because it confuses me.
"get out of my house" unfinished omori crackfic from almost a year ago
"fbc au" no outline, no words written down, but its been through so much and i do want to talk about it
"phasmophobia" one shot turned into a fic with many little chapters instead. no words written down but like half an outline.
"blackjack au" multichapter fic with nothing but half a story going for it rn
"ouroboros" old fic idea that got rebranded into something completely different, but i kept the old ver because i still wanna write it one day
"the incredibly strange little girl ch3" literally just the third chapter of one of my crackfics i for some reason havent finished yet
i wish i had more mutuals who wrote fanfics, so im just going to tag a bunch of my mutuals who have fanfic author vibes and hope im right. if i didnt tag you tho, feel free to join in anyway @p13rr0t @jpuff9 @fastrainbowdas @puppetkirbee

for the wip ask meme: "WIP sweet revenge" sounds like a more than good bet for being starsky & hutch fic, so i'd love to hear about that! 👀
helloooo tysm!!!! u r correct it is s&h!!
so i actually dont rly know where im going with this fic but it's set in the weeks and months following sweet revenge, based on an idea a friend of mine and i talked about many years ago of hutch getting sick while starsky is recovering. i'm sure it's been done to death haha but i'm a sucker for this shit.
“The world ain’t gonna end because you’re sick for a week, Hutchinson. Not if you’re sick for two weeks, a month.”
“You sure?” Hutch rasps. If he could sound flippant, he would, but he sounds deadly serious.
He also sounds awful, and Starsky tells him so, to his face, bluntly. “You look like crap, and you sound like crap. The world can take it.”
“I’m sorry,” says Hutch. “I didn’t mean to – ” When he tries to sit, Starsky pushes him back down. He’s grateful that Hutch doesn’t resist too much – if it came to a contest of strength, Hutch would still win, even as sick as he is. Starsky’s not up to wrestling, but Hutch has seen enough in the last few months to know the cardinal rule of this game: no engagement Starsky can't match.
There's a lil snippet! The fic focuses on Hutch's feelings of responsibility, and his fears of failure and inadequacy, and Starsky's feelings of frustration and exasperation - mostly good-natured (Hutch is silly).
bonus also from survival WIP which is my other s&h WIP from that list:
When he wakes, he’s not sure that he has. There’s blue sky and it’s fuzzy at the edges. His head throbs and he can feel his heart beating, fast and fevered, in every part of him. There are black spots dancing in his vision, and he blinks hard to try and clear them away, but instead they come into clearer focus. They’re buzzards, far off, high in the warm air-currents. Buzzards. Hutch lies still and tries not to feel fear. Struggling makes the claustrophobia and the heat and the pain and the dust and the thirst crush him downwards, like being buried alive. He breathes, in and out, over and over, and watches the buzzards. They’re a long way off, just specks in the sky, really. Just specks in the sky. He was going to think about death. He was going – Starsky is going to find a dead body. He can’t call anything much to mind. They didn’t know, you don’t know, nobody knows who he is or where he is or what he wants. Help me, I’m going to die here. I’m going to die. The buzzards are black spots, they’re specks in the sky. There were thousands of them. They were living in tents. Sonny is gone. The war is over.
idek what to say abt this, I wrote it I think winter 2021 and I keep trying to find the inspiration to finish it. it's rly just a thinly veiled excuse for me to write in my fave theme - characters who for whatever reason (in hutch's case dehydration and pain) experience a disruption or abstraction (permanent or temporary) in their normal thought patterns, which creates a perfect crucible to explore a scene on a deeper level through a character's distorted viewpoint. smth about looking at something sideways to see it more clearly - when a character is somehow in an altered state it can be easier to tease out interesting threads from them
but anyway i loveeeee the radio thing that hutch is listening to as he's driving at the beginning it rly stuck w me and i wanted to find a way to have it stick in hutch's mind too even if he's not paying attention to it consciously
pick a WIP from this list and send me an ask and I'll post a snippet or share smth about the fic!!

20 Questions for Fic Authors
thank you @candyskiez for tagging me!
how many fics do you have on ao3?
20 publicly; i do have some privated from when i started writing and wasn't super confident in my abilities and i'll probably keep it that way
what's your total ao3 word count?
213,282 (HOT DAMN i didn't realize i wrote so much)
what fandoms do you write for?
mainly infinity train, i have 2 owl house fics but frankly im a one trick pony. maybe ill write other stuff if it hits me, who knows
what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
when train tracks intersect
accidental workaholic
you never felt a winter quite so cold
when the sun comes up, i'll still be around
sick of standing still
do you respond to comments? why or why not?
i used to not bc i thought it was redundant to keep saying 'thank you' (and also that i dont really comment on fics and instead reach out on tumblr to give my compliments to other authors) but in recent days i do! it felt weird standing by like a ghost while ppl said really nice things so i want to let people know they are appreciated
what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
you never felt a winter quite so cold; YES i know it has a sequel with a happy ending but i wrote it in a separate fic on purpose bc i felt like having the despondent open ending really fit the mood of the whole horror vibe of the fic and i didn't wanna kill it by having a complete tonal shift at the last chapter and figured people can find the other one on their own
what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
nearly EVERY other fic i wrote has a happy ending lmao; idk about happiest hmm...maybe birthday: bash or trash? all the WTTI series stories have happy ending but that last chapter left me with such a nice feeling
do you get hate on fics?
not really; got 1 comment that rubbed me wrong but the person did apologize on anon so i don't dwell on it
do you write smut? if so, what kind?
never have and likely never will, sorry folks!
do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
in rolling with the punches i do have cameos from other media both for myself and friends, but idk if that counts as a crossover? i do hope people liked the emerald entrails skating against the chronic cranes tho bc that was fun. there was also something in my tumblr drafts about older min meeting camila around thanks to them montage time
have you ever had a fic stolen?
i did see one or two fics that had suspiciously similar premises of my one shots but i figured anybody could come up with those premises so i don't think so unless someone is siphoning my work thru wattpad or someshit
have you ever had a fic translated?
no
have you ever cowritten a fic before?
i haven't but i've kinda been curious about it? i get a little possessive of my premises sometimes having to go a certain way, but i think for something where a friend and i were pretty equal on creating a story i'd be open to it
what's your all time favorite ship?
rymin is just a lot of fun to write
what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
jailbreak au! i think about it ever now and then but i have so much stuff going on idk if i have the steam for another big multichapter fic, esp for something like that
what are your writing strengths?
dialogue
what are your writing weaknesses?
exposition, specifically describing scenery
thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
haven't done it, would probably wanna look up resources on how to do it since i've heard how it can be badly shoehorned in
first fandom you wrote for?
my fucking cobra cam mystery thriller on deviantart when i was 15; i try to forget about it as i was not proud of those years...
favorite fic you've ever written?
why make me choose my favorite kid!!! but uhhhh...you never felt a winter quite so cold and the motorway car are probably my fav descriptive/technical writing pieces, but generally speaking i feel like its every new one i work on. rolling is DEF getting up in the favs bc i put a lot of blood sweat and tears into her...
anyways i'll tag @jacksope-lives @2000snotebook @adrianicsea @elibethquin @alicethenobody @awesomejedie and anybody else i forgot!

A Shell for a Mate  and Storytime Naps are tied - 49
5. Do you respond to comments?
most of the time! im bad at like double responding like if i respond and then you do again i panic and don't say anything back unless there's a question. Or when its just someone saying they want more of something i don't really know how to respond to that so i just don't fhjkasdf
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
so far i haven't really written a lot of angsty stuff thats made it to actually being posted i think the closest thing i can offer is Deceased.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
A Shell for a Mate maybe? or maybe Camera Cutie honestly those two are really the only ones that feel like true stories to me vs just like a small moment in time and they both end happy or at positively
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet! I assume I will eventually.
9. Do you write smut?
I'm trying to learn how. I'm not very confident in it yet though. It's very difficult.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not yet!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
not yet sounds interesting though!

At the moment probably Flintley for over all but I tend to jump through alot of Percy ships in my head on like a week to week basis currently I'm very fixated on Stan Shunpike/Percy as well ajxjsnz
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
c: I have alot of fics that I start writing and never touch again I think probably that one flintely scene I wrote that I don't know what to do with its the only like longer one of the group but It was before I got sick and now I just don't remember what I was doing with it
16. What are your writing strengths?
I have been told I'm creative and come up with interesting ideas
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Probable like prose? if I'm understanding what that means but like I feel like my writing is still very bland?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
I barely even like writing out accents I would rather not
19. First fandom you wrote for?
HP!
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
I dont know if its just my brain loving Stan/Percy right now but Hot Chocolate has a special place in my heart at the moment

20 Questions for fic Writers!
tagged by @wikiangela thank you <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
9 askaoksoaskoaks
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
166,674
3. What fandoms do you write for?
911 and 5sos.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
i won't let nobody hurt you (Buck picking up a sick Chris from school) what if one of these days i go and change your name (Buck is wearing Eddie's turnout and Eddie REALLY wants to marry him) for everything we are (everything we’ve been) (aka the trauma fic, buddie talking it all out) in case you don't live forever (buddie trapped in a collapsed building) this surprise ending i’m depending on (could be the story of another us) (Eddie pinning for 3k words)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to. But it usually takes me a minute because I'm a very awkward human and it's worse when it's about something I made, so I need to think answers through.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
this surprise ending i’m depending on (could be the story of another us) she doesn't have a happy ending at all, it's just unrequited love, Buck is dating and Eddie has feelings about it. I wrote it trying to process my own feelings about the cemetery, it has no dialogue, it's quite angsty I think.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
probably what if one of these days i go and change your name but I'm bad at doing happy stuff oskaoskoaksoaksas
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not really
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do not. I mean, I don't publish it, there's a wip that I kinda needed the context around the sex and I tried my hand on it, but I don't think that's ever seeing the light of day.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Probably not, I don't think so.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
my brain said percabeth so im gonna go with that aoskoaskasok but buddie and stydia are up there too.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
the Buck gets struck by lightning but Eddie is still working dispatch fic. I love that concept but I can't make my vision work.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Emotionally heavy angst oskaoksaskoas I think I'm really good at digging in where it hurts and making you feel the emotional tension around a situation
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I think I overuse the name of the characters sometimes, and I recently caught the same sentence in a similar context in like, 4 of my fics and I was like, not happy about it oaskoaksoakss and I don't write linearly, so that usually bites me in the ass later when I'm trying to connect the dots, because usually when I have an idea I have no idea where it starts, I just type things out and pray for the best, sometimes I need to compromise on stuff I wish I didn't or extend the context to make it better, but it's not always that I can make the context work, so that's a problem that leaves me editing a fic a bit too much. Oh, I'm also terrible at writing a relationship once it's established. No matter the couple, they get together I blank, the turnout fic is legitimately a miracle sokasokoskaosk
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
honestly, right now I think it's awkward, at least for me in my own writing, I tried to make Eddie speak some Spanish and I was cringing the whole way through. I do have a Brazilian oc in a wip that's never gonna see the light of that and she speaks some Portuguese but that's because I had to over the plot.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
the 100 I think, it might've been a stranger thing fic no one ever read, but I wrote it in a notebook and I don't remember when I did it, I didn't even remember writing it until I found it a few months ago, so I don't really know if it was before or after the 100 ones.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
it's between the trauma fic and the soau fic. The trauma fic just because of the way I really tried to make it as close to the show as possible and I'm really proud of the way I did that and the feedback I got on it is really insane, and she's just my baby. And the soau fic even if she doesn't have a happy ending, I really like the way I did the whole no dialogue thing, before writing that I would never say I could just write a fic that's all around the feelings in a situation, and I really like what I did there.
I don't know who's been tagged but I'm gonna tag my usual crowd, no pressure: @eddiebabygirldiaz @housewifebuck @honestlydarkprincess @try-set-me-on-fire @cowboy-buck @watchyourbuck @disasterbuckdiaz @captain-hen

for the fanfic ask thingy! 1, 5 (gimme the list i love lists <33), 11, 15, 23, 46, 55 and 73!
mwaaaahhh moss !!
1.Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?
usually if i have a concrete idea- especially a clear vision for a scene!- i'll jump into writing, but if it's less clear i'll write down the vibe somewhere (gdoc. discord, in an email to myself, etc) and let it percolate until i do have a clear scene to jump into
5. How many wips do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?
(these are just unposted wips i have actively written for this year, not including wips from past years that i haven't returned to in 2023, bc there are too many to go back through and recount)
dimension 20: 10 wips
- noble pining (+ B sides) - slasherverse domestic - figayda concert - samzelda figgorgug - figgorgug right person wrong time - figayda cuddle pile - figayda notting hill - bad kids spiderverse - eftbk markland
ted lasso: 1 wip
- charlieverse
stranger things: 1 wip
- buzzcut ch2
original fiction: 4 wips
lockwood and co: 3 wips
- george kisses luce beat - lucy sick beat - lucy winter beat
now you see me: 1 wip
- fifth horseman
11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?
in order, almost always. motivation is a beast i always have to try and wrangle and making myself write chronologically in order helps force me to finish writing the scenes i have to get to by dangling the scene i want to write as bait over my own head-- essentially: if i finish scenes a, b, and c; then i can write scene d that im REALLY excited about!
15. What’s your favorite time to write?
night time lmao!! im a night owl and i tend not to get as distracted later at night when the rest of my family has gone to bed/ we're all doing our own separate things!! but i do write throughout the day when i'm hit w inspo <3
23. Is writing the beginning, middle, or end of the story easiest? Hardest?
the end of the story is always always the hardest. almost every time i finish smth and send it to one of my lovely friends for editing/beta reading i ask "is the ending good?? does it make sense?? is it fulfilling??" etc <3

god im sick to death of working on this stupid yoohan wip take this for now idc
It’s like he’s reciting a script when he goes, “This world… I can still–”
“No.” She cuts him off. “You know you can’t. I know you can’t. Haven't you already done it eighteen-hundred and sixty-three times? Yoo Joonghyuk,” Sooyoung says, then stops, because the shape of his name in her mouth sounds almost… distraught.
After a moment, she continues, tone more even, “Yoo Joonghyuk, don’t think that the world will be better if you run it a few more times. It won’t. You’ve tried everything, haven’t you? You know so much of the future? And yet, every time, you’ve failed. Whatever the best world is, you’re not going to find it in the next regression. I’m sorry, but you know it’s true.” Then she tries to smile at him, to project more confidence than she actually feels. “But isn’t it good? You’ll have a reliable companion in this round, if you’ll have me.”
What she doesn’t tell him, but she thinks, is that the reason he’s failed so many times is because of how broken he’s become. Even the most formidable, the most knowledgeable, the most worthy would be worn down by this. He’s a lost cause. Yoo Joonghyuk is grasping for a better for that he is no longer capable of conceiving, and that’s why he will fail, forever. Han Sooyoung doesn’t much like to write stories with a tragic ending, but when the whole of the story feeds into only one possible choice, not even she can prevent it from happening.
“And you think the next best choice is for me to die?"
She doesn’t know if he’s arguing with her, if he’s surprised, or if he’s asking for guidance, but something fragile in her snaps.
“I’m sick of you asking all the questions,” Sooyoung snarls. “I have been nothing but honest with you all week, and even now, you refuse to admit the truth. You want to die. Tell me you want to die.”
He’s silent, and it just– It just makes her so mad.
“Goddamn you!” She screams, and grabs the front of his jacket, bunching the collar up in her fists. “I asked the Outer God. I asked it, ‘Does Yoo Joonghyuk want to die?’ It said yes, yes you do. But everyone with half a fucking brain knows not to trust an outer god to not rip happiness out of your hands–” an almost imperceptible flinch runs through him, and a bizarre prides comes over her at the fact that her guess hit its target, “–so I’m asking you now, you bastard: do you want to die?”
She’s breathing heavy by the time she finishes, not from exertion, but from pure, desperate anger. She stops for a minute and just pants, her fingers still curled in the fabric near his neck.
But, unexpectedly, a hand wraps around her own, gently. When she looks up, Yoo Joonghyuk is staring both at her, and through her. “You can show me the end of this world.” It’s not a question, but she answers it anyway.
“Of course I can, you asshole. Are you doubting me?” The darkness in his eyes, just on the edge of hollow, is absolutely beautiful.
His jaw works, and he goes, “I want to die.”
Han Sooyoung stops and breathes in and out, very slowly. She licks her lips, her throat dry, and brings her hands higher to the side of Yoo Joonghyuk’s face. “Well, okay,” she says after a long moment. “Then you and I have a lot of work to do.”

hi?
what better version?
march has been a bitch
hello and welcome to my monthly recap of my crappy life
IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS
i know im sorry but i just can't find the courage to write because i don't have the words to describe everything (plus i am sick as hell so i literally can't stay in front of the computer or my phone that much)
so anyway march is a very chaotic month as i hadn't even had the time to rest after a looooong first semester before finding myself thrown into another one
as i was grieving over my grades (i am looking at you w*n* and m*rd*k*), i also took all the naps i could get, which then made it harder for me to sleep in nights (ugh my life) and idk, i fell into as what i'd like to call "the phase" aka i am not sad i just don't want to do anything (which still persists as of april 14) i even promised myself to finish a wip i started a week after finals and guess what,,,, *cobwebs*
i just don't have the motivation... the drive... i don't know, i feel like i am just getting things done because i am running on auto pilot like i am just doing things for the sake of doing it and not because i really want it
IS THIS MIDLIFE CRISIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DIE AT 40
so anyway aside from the never-ending visits to the doctor, i used march to catch up on my watching list, which, unfortunately, is unsuccesful.
see? march is really a bitch
i guess it's not really my month?????
plus also i had too many realizations in march
i miss the people i used to eat with during lunch, and we had too many missed opportunities to see each other again. and i am afraid that if i see them... i won't... recognize?? them.. like
I CAN'T EXPLAIN OKAY but super layo na ng loob ko sa kanila (lalo na sa iba) kasi they have a lot going on in their lives and since we're not talking, ang outdated na ng version nila sa head ko (YKWIM)??
ANYWAY THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT THEM IT'S ABOUT ME BECAUSE I AM THE MAIN CHARACTER
to sum it up, march has been a handful. i only get one okay day a week, we spent the last three days of the month shopping for school supplies (ONLY to be disappointed, but you'll know in about... 15 days because it'll be featured in the april issue), and i just spent each waking day trying to feel better
this is a short one because i'm not really in the mood to, you know, write, but I HOPE HOPE THAT I'LL FIND THAT SPARK AGAIN SOONEST
march has not been a great one, but i hope the next one's gonna me amazeballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYE
Tumblr media
(this is fun hadshhdahaha i'll start doing this)

↳ bakugou katsuki x reader → ❝wait for you❞ part one
Tumblr media
summary: bakugou is your best friend, you both dream to become great heroes. when bakugou ends up in a coma most move on but you can’t leave your best friend behind.  word count: 2k+ tags/warnings: romance, angst (with a happy ending eventually),  a/n: im alive! sort of. finally finished one of my many wips in between watching greys anatomy. shoutout to the show for some inspiration for this. those background patient plot lines hurt sometimes.
Tumblr media
Bakugou Katsuki was your best friend. That might be hard for a lot of people to believe considering how hostile he could be sometimes. Most would describe him as feisty and unfriendly but there was always something that drew you to him. From the first day at UA, you knew he was going to be your best friend even if he didn’t want to at first.
It didn’t take long for him to start liking you back even if he refused to admit it. It was impossible for him to deny that it was nice to be cared about and it was harder to deny that he cared about you. It was something he never expected, to care about someone so much that when you missed a meal he would be shoving food in front of you, or if you were staying up too late he would force you to go to bed early. Even the smallest things about you concerned him.
The two of you made the perfect pair, you helped each other train and study. When he went through his worse times you were there for him, through the nightmares, through the panic attacks, you helped him when he didn’t want anyone to see him.
Bakugou wasn’t your only friend but your relationship with him meant everything to you. Your friendship with him ran deep. He was your person. He was the first person you thought about every day, he was the first person you told good news to, the first person you went to when you were upset.
Your friendship was everything to you and you always imagined it meant a lot to him as well.
Throughout the school years, it only got deeper. It was finally your last year of high school and you and Bakugou were both on track to become amazing heroes. Both of you had worked so hard to be at the top of your class and it was almost time to go into the real hero world. You had even both secured spots at the top agency you had been eyeing for a long time.
You wondered if you would be partners at your agency? That would be too perfect. Both of you had bright futures ahead of you but one day took that away.
It was a normal day, you and Bakugou were working your intern patrol shift. It was sunny but not too hot and things were reasonably calm. There were a few crimes to keep things interesting but nothing too dangerous. It was a good day.
The two of you were eating lunch, you had gotten your favorite sushi for lunch despite the fact that Bakugou wanted to get ramen. But fair was fair and you had won your game of rock, paper, scissors.
That’s when the chaos broke out. A villain was attacking and you both sprung into action without a second thought. It was going well as it usually did, you worked together flawlessly. A perfect team. That was until Bakugou took a hit neither of you saw coming.
The sight of him tumbling across the pavement made you sick. You quickly subdued the villain before running to Bakugou’s side. He was laying on the ground face down. You turned him over, his face was covered in blood. Your heart sunk at the sight of him, eyes half open and face bruised.
Sirens alerted them to the arrival of the ambulances.
“Katsuki, you’re gonna be okay. Don’t move, help is here.” You said, hand brushing against his face.
“I-” He said, his voice hushed. “Sunshine I-”
Sunshine. The nickname started out condescending, an insult almost but somewhere along the line it became endearing. A pet name almost.
“Shh, it’s okay. Don’t strain yourself, please.” You said, grabbing his hand squeezing it tight. “You’re going to be okay.”
Bakugou was put on a stretcher and rushed to an ambulance, you rode with them trying to stay calm as they helped him. You held back asking questions not wanting to interrupt.
Bakugou’s red eyes stayed focused on you as you held his hand while trying to stay out of the way.
“It’s going to be okay, you have to be okay. You’re my best friend.” You said. “I don’t know what I’d do without you. Katsuki I-”
Bakugou’s eyes slipped closed and it was hard not to tear up in fear. You wanted to tell him how you felt but you hesitated and now he couldn't hear you. Your heart raced in your chest. He would be fine, he always was. He was a fighter and he always pulled through.
Waiting was the worst thing anyone could sit through is the conclusion you came to. Sitting in the hospital’s waiting room staring at the patterned tile you were suffering. The thought of Bakugou in an operating room opened up hurt you to your core. The urge to sob was strong but you refused to. Bakugou would be okay and he would tease you endlessly if he found out that you cried over him.
Bakugou would be fine. You knew he would. He had to be.
Mr. and Mrs. Bakugou showed up, looking more scared than you had ever seen them before. You were familiar with his parents, they had invited you over many times for dinner and they always got along with you.
“What did they say?” Bakugou’s mother asked as she approached you, she grabbed your arms frantically.
“He’s in surgery, they aren’t saying much.” You told her. She let out a sigh sitting down next to you.
Time went by slowly as the three of you waited impatiently. Finally, the doctor appeared.
“Bakugou family?” He asked.
“Yes, that’s us.” Ms. Bakugou stood up along with you and her husband.
“The surgery went well, we were able to fix the trauma and bleeding in his brain. He’s patched up but there was swelling during the surgery.” The doctor said solemnly, his hands held together.
“What does that mean?” Mr. Bakugou questioned.
“The likelihood of him waking up is very low.” He said.
It felt like everything around you was falling apart.
“What do you mean he won’t wake up?” Mrs. Bakugou shouted. “If you fixed everything, what’s wrong with him?”
The doctor began to explain it but everything around you went fuzzy. You couldn’t hear anything, you felt sick. Before you could do anything else you ran outside of the hospital making it to a tree before throwing up.
Bakugou wouldn’t wake up. He was alive but he wasn’t going to wake up. The next year of your life was so clear in your mind, graduating, working beside Bakugou, climbing the ranks, becoming amazing heroes. Together. It was all gone, how were you supposed to go on without him? You couldn't picture your life without him.
You stood in front of his hospital room door still. If you stepped through that door you knew that it was over. The image of Bakugou standing strong next to you ready to face the world would be gone. The reality of what happened would set in and you could never go back.
It was easy to picture him, picture those moments with him. The first time you met him, you were both so young. He was so feisty and unwilling to befriend anyone. The memory of him yelling at everyone around you.
You could remember the day you had gotten through to him, had a heart to heart. His red eyes looked so soft for the first time and you knew that you would do anything to keep his trust in you so he would always feel safe enough to open up to you.
The memory of him in his dorm, scared and breathing quick after a nightmare. You had crawled into bed with him and held him. He protested at first but quickly realized you were more stubborn than him this time. Then he realized how nice it felt to be held by someone who cared about you, who wanted you to feel better. How safe he felt in your arms. The softness of his blond locks was unforgettable.
This morning was so clear, Bakugou in his hero costume laughing at a dumb joke you made. You would never see him stand tall again. You took a deep breath.
Softly you opened the door revealing the hospital bed. The sound of beeps filled the room. Walking up to the bed you took in a shaky breath.
Bakugou laid in the bed hooked up to wires. The side of his hair was shaved, where the surgery was. He was still, the steady rise and fall of his chest was the only sign of life. He looked so peaceful.
You sat in the chair beside the bed, head in your hands, a broken sob coming out of you.
“You have to wake up.” You said looking up at him, taking his hand in yours. “I know you can pull through this, I can’t do this alone. What kind of hero would I be without you?”
There was no reply to your cries.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I let this happen." You cried. "I'm sorry we didn't get what you wanted for lunch. If I could go back, if I could do everything different I would. I wish it was me."
Tears streamed down your face as sobs wracked your body.
"You're my best friend, you're my everything." You cried.
Everything felt empty. Time passed, life moved on. Your friends, your fellow students tried to console you while they grappled with the fact that Bakugou wasn’t around anymore. Your teachers looked at you with sad eyes, knowing that these things came with hero work but you were far too young to be dealing with it.
Graduating, something you had looked forward to for so long tasted like ash in your mouth. Standing there with your classmates taking pictures, everything was numb. All you could see was Bakugou laying in that hospital bed unmoving.
Life moved on but you felt like you stood still. You started working at the agency and you worked hard doing your best. The only thing you could do was be the best hero you could be to prevent people from getting hurt like Bakugou did. Even as you progressed and life moved on you felt like time was frozen.
After every shift you visited him, you would bring your dinner with you and eat in his room. You would tell him about your day. On good days you could convince yourself he could hear you.
Time moved on and less people visited. Your fellow students got busy with their hero careers. His parents visited on the weekends, Aizawa would visit once a month. Sometimes you ran into him. The two of you would sit there in silence.
“Do you visit him a lot?” Aizawa asked.
“Everyday.” You answered. “Almost every single day.”
“Why?” He asked, his gaze not moving from his former student.
“He’s my best friend. I can’t stand the thought of him sitting here alone.” You answered, a tear dripping down your cheek. “If he was awake I know we would see each other every day, it feels wrong to not see him. Even if he is asleep, even if he doesn’t know I’m here. I can't go without him, even if he's just laying here.”
“I understand.” He said.
Aizawa didn’t explain but you knew deep down he understood how you felt.
It took time, you had a lot of time to think when you weren't talking out loud to Bakugou's unconscious body.  It took time but you finally realized something.
You loved Bakugou Katsuki.
Not just the way someone loves their friend, no something deeper than that. Why else would someone spend every day with their unconscious friend? Even as years passed.
Looking back it all made sense, how validating it felt to tell Bakugou about the highs and lows of your life.  How much you focused on the small touches between you and him. How the thought of not spending the rest of your life with him tore you apart.
How had it taken you so long to realize?
Everything about him made you feel alive. His shining qualities, his flaws, his quirks, everything about him made you happy.  You loved him so deeply, how had you never known?
You loved Bakugou Katsuki and it was too late to do anything about it.
Years passed. Your career progressed, you climbed the hero charts and you became the hero you and Bakugou always aimed to be. Even if you had made it to the thing you wanted more than anything else in life it felt empty.
All you wanted was your best friend there with you. You wanted to tell him how you felt. Not just his unconscious body. You felt like a ghost, all of your friends lived their lives but you couldn’t enjoy it. You didn’t go out with them, you spent all your time with Bakugou at his bedside.
Every day you hoped, prayed he would wake up.
Time was an odd thing, getting old felt wrong. You looked older and so did Bakugou even if he laid there unmoving all this time. His hair was longer than it had been but you kept up with it. The nurses let you trim his hair, shave his facial hair when you had the time. It made you feel a little less helpless.
It had been a long day, a bad day. People died, people, you should have saved. You should have been fast enough, you should have been a better hero.
Sitting next to Bakugou you told him about your day.
“I moved, I reached to grab them but I wasn’t fast enough.” You said. “They died because I wasn’t fast enough.”
The tears streamed down your face. You reached forward grabbing his hand.
“You're here in this bed because I wasn’t fast enough, I was a bad partner I should have saved you. I should have taken the hit for you. I wish it was me in this bed, I wish I was dead.” You sobbed, breaths heavy it felt like you were suffocating. You were drowning, you had been since that day.
The sounds of your sobs were loud, your hand limply grasping at his. Your breathing stopped at the movement under your hand.
“Katsuki?” Your voice was barely above a whisper as you looked up at him. His eyes fluttered under his eyelids.

Fic Writer Questions!
Tagged by @mystics-and-chill ! Thanks Goldleaf I loved reading your answers <333 
1) How many works do you have on AO3?
217 published on ao3, not counting the 80 fics I deleted in [redacted] fandom, and the 50 something AFI stories I orphaned, linked here.  Also many of these are “short fic” collections consisting of like 5-30 standalone fics at 1k words or under. IN SHORT, too many!!
2) What's your total AO3 word count?
1,632,262. Skull and crossbones emogi. 
3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Oh god, I’ve written in 51 and I can’t make myself list them it’s just so many!! My big ones are Cars (2006), Tolkien, The Man From Uncle, Star Wars, Supernatural, Star Trek, Merlin, Cobra Kai, and most recently, Stargate Atlantis. 
4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?  
This list sort of blows my mind lol, it’s so random. 
1. Careful of the Company You Keep- This is am angsty, fucked up slow burn TMFU fic. I wrote it ages ago but it remains one of the pairing standards I guess? It’s a good fic! But it’s not even my best or favorite Napollya fic I’ve written so its popularity is baffling to me!
2. Played: also TMFU, the first fic I ever wrote in the fandom. Its a cute formulaic 5 times fic. I didn’t have their voices down yet Imo so it’s another one I think is weird to be popular. 
3. Surrender: This is my only posted FinnPoe story. I wrote it right after seeing the movie when there was that brief, hopeful boom in the Star Wars fandom, where we all thought the sequel trilogy was going to be good. I still like this story a lot. 
4.Vanity: a TMFU PWP where Napoleon fucks Illya while making him watch them in a vanity mirror. It does what it says on the tin! 
5. Dog Eared Page:  I’m fucking DELIGHTED this story is on here??!! I thought it was under appreciated but I guess I was wrong. This is a Descendants/Jaylos slow burn fic largely about internalized homophobia. It’s like, dead serious given the fandom and a really beautiful little coming of age story and I love it. 
5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I try my fucking hardest but I just checked and I currently have 1813 comments I haven’t replied to. When you have as much fic up as I do it’s genuinely hard to keep up with!! I get daunted, I’m trying to be better about it but it’s massive time suck, answering them all. THAT BEING SAID I LOVE ALL MY COMMENTS SO MUCH and it means so so so much to me when people leave them, I appreciate it sooo much. 
6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Like @mystics-and-chill, I think all my Hannibal fic, by necessity, is pretty unhappy. Also almost all my AFI fic. If I had to choose one though probably “We prepared out graves.” It makes me sick to think about haha. It’s the most manipulatively sad thing I’ve ever written. 
7) What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
Almost all my fic has happy, or t least hopeful endings!!! I think the one with the biggest payoff is All Night Long, though. It’s a really long fic with a lot of angst and misunderstanding and the ending is such a “they lived happily ever after” moment  and you're rooting for them so hard so I think it’s my most fairytale-esque fic! 
8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you've written?
I don’t really, buy the only one I ever HAVE written is insane so I will mention it: I once wrote a Rent/Star Wars crossover (or maybe it’s just an AU?? I dunno) where Luke is a stripper on Tatooine and Han is a washed up old smuggler and they both have space aids and and a space heroin problem and It sounds like it’s crack but it’s like, such a somber serious grimdark fic lmao??? Anyway. Here it is: Before the suns set 
9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I am unfortunately the sort of writer who always ends up being controversial even when I don’t mean to be, like I STILL get hate from fandoms I haven’t written in in years lol. I also write “problematic” ships and parings, so I routinely get hate just for like, shipping wincest or Sebaciel or whatever. But man the most aggressive hate Ive ever received was for relatively tame stuff, just in very conservative fandoms? Like I JUST recently got a hate anon from someone in the SGA fandom because they didn’t like my characterization. People are weird, I dunno, I generate a lot of hate!!! But I generate three times as much love so whatever. 
10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
yes!! I love smut. In terms of what kind, my sex scenes tend to be really carnal and corporeal and sensory and raw and messy and passionate. I tend to write it out in detail rather than wide, broad swaths, but I avoid play by play style if I can. I love writing about sweat, eating ass, and armpits. @skepticalfrog knows. 
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
All the fucking time, I’ve literally given up on trying to keep psycho one direction fans from uploading my old deleted fic to Wattpad. Lost cause in that fandom. 
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
Many times! Usually to Russian or Chinese. I think all my Spies and Disguise fic is translated to both because it has HUGE fandoms in those countries! 
13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
My wife @sir-transcelot and I co write occasionally and once wrote a whole long hilarious AFI fic together when I was in college. We also co wrote an amazing 1d/TMFU crossover,  it was SO good but never ended up seeing the light of day because we both left the fandom which is a shame, it’s fucking gold. 
 14) What's your all time favorite ship?
God this is so hard. There’s this dichotomy where many of my all time fave pairings I don’t write? Like Ruth/Debbie from Glow is really up there and Stan/Kyle from South Park is probably my most read pairing ever, but I don’t write much about either of those pairings because the fic I would write already exists. So my fave pairings to write are different than my favorite to read. OK BUT IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE, Kirk/Spock is my OTP probably, the most romantic ship in the world, my ride or die. But again you wouldn’t know because I hardly ever....write them??? I don’t even need to, they’re perfect as is haha. But my favorite to WRITE is probably Doc/Lightning. I invented that pairing and created nearly all the content and lore for it so it’s very dear to my heart as a pet project!!! They feel like original characters in some ways. Currently, McShep has wiped out everything else in my brain. I am a mess, I go through fandoms at a rapid, aggressive pace and accumulate pairings like a hoarding dragon tbh, and I love them allll. 
15) What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
OH GOD don’t talk to me about WIPs....I was trying to finish a bunch in July and then I started watching SGA and got violently derailed. I’m a never say never type of guy, but I think  my most likely to be actually abandoned WIP is a holiday fic I started two christmases ago in the Spies and Disguise fandom. It’s so cute and has the potential to be great but I think if you fail two years in a row to finish something AND a traumatic event happens while you’re writing it, it’s probably safe to be like yeah, I can let this one go. Sorry Walter and Lance and the one bed I was gonna make you share. 
16) What are your writing strengths?
I’m pretty good at making my readers feel stuff!! I’ve been told I’m an evocative writer, I get comments a lot from people who felt ill or cried while they read which is always a huge compliment. I also think I’m good at characterization/nailing characters voices, and sensory description that makes you feel like you’re there. Also I’m fantastic at 2nd person POV fic, which is a really tough thing to pull off well. 
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
I’m way too controlled and not experimental enough, like I know what works and what I like and what Im good at and just....do it over and over and never branch out  lol.  I love when I read fic that messes with structure and expectation, like @nomercyonlytears blows my mind on that front, I’ll read her fic and be like “wow you can really do whatever the fuck you want and make it awesome,” it’s super inspiring!! I’d love to push boundaries more like that. 
18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?  
I have a little bit of Russian in my TMFU fics, and WITHOUT FAIL every time no matter how many times I looked it up or did my research, Russian readers would be like what the fuck this is so off lol so I try not to mess with languages I don’t speak. 
19) What was the first fandom you wrote for? 
AFI. I have been writing about those freaks since 2003. I will go YEARS without even thinking about them (or hating them) but I always circle back. I learned to write in that fandom, and they're my most enduring hyper fixation and just SO FUCKED UP. They continue to be weird, too, maybe if they stopped being weird about each other I would quit but nah, every time I check in on them they’re still being absolutely insane and I have something to say about it, inevitably, so. Here I am. 
20) What's your favorite fic you've written?
I literally don’t know man, I love all my fic so much I’m a fucking megalomaniac. Mine and Apart and Sweet Morphine are my usual go to answers, but I’m also REALLY partial to my House of Durin series.  
This was so fun! Tagging @ahufflepuffhobbit @fairytalefem @sir-transcelot @haztobegood @hazzabeeforlou @happy-princess @theresonlyzuul @bobakick @oliver-perks @venhedish @skepticalfrog   @mimsyaf  @thorniest-rose @freshbrainss @pohjanneito @deputychairman and @got2gh0st ! But if you see this and feel inspired and you’re a writer, please do it!!! And tag me, I love reading what other fic writers have to say!

1x08 1x09 lancelot fix it is actually the last two fics of If Lancelot stayed which are aus of the above eps aka they all help save Mordred, and Lance picks up the black knight's gauntlet. they are very plotty and kinda pendragon focused so idk but i would like to finish them!
“You look happy!” Morgana laughed. “Elyan settling in well?”
Gwen nodded happily. “He and Gwaine are helping Dad at the forge and Elyan actually quite enjoys it now. And Gwaine does love the fire.”
Morgana smiled. “it’s good that he’s got friends.” Yes. Friends, thought Gwen, barely suppressing a smile.
“I saw that big man following around after Gaius. Gaius looked kind of annoyed.”
Gwen smiled. “Yes, Percival does a lot of Merlin’s work now. He looks intimidating but he knows his stuff and besides he’s good at carrying people.” She smirked. “It is strange how many people have suddenly become sick without any symptoms…”
In fact Gaius had got so fed up with all the perfectly well people sending for the… services of his new apprentice he’d taken to sending a highly embarrassed Percival down beforehand to check it was actually a legitimate medical situation. This had worked by and large, expect when Percival had showed up at the forge profoundly traumatised from having to help a pregnant woman give birth on his own because Gaius couldn’t get there quick enough.
oh yeah and there is still a good helping of silliness :')
"Percival! I need to ask a favour."
Percival went bright red. "Merlin, I really don’t think that’s appropriate-"
"It’s really important but I should warn you you will be breaking the law."
"I’m very aware of that!” the big man hissed, still scarlet in the face. "I would’ve thought you would be too!"
"I am!" Merlin insisted, wondering why Percival was making such a big deal out of this. He was already breaking at least ten laws just by being in Camelot with his partners.
Percival folded his massive arms, looking incredibly uncomfortable. "Merlin, you’re courting my partner’s sister, I really don’t think they’d be ok with-"
"Wha- oh!" Merlin realised how Percival had misunderstood and couldn’t help but giggle. "No Perce, I don’t mean- It’s for a medical reason!"
"Yes, that’s what everyone says!" Percival exclaimed, pulling away from him.
“Percival!” Merlin was torn between laughter and wanting to slap him. “I promise I’m not trying to seduce you, I just need your medical expertise."
Percival stared at him suspiciously. “You swear?”
“Yes.” He grabbed his arm and pulled him away, looking about him anxiously. “Come on genius, we don’t have time to waste.”
