carraville core beliefs (aka things I am Always keeping in mind when writing them)

Gary:

always busy. always talking. genuinely one of the most annoying people alive. his friends often mute him on whatsapp

easily bribed with chocolate

too rich to have any concept of what things should cost or how anything works

has a Type and that type is tall muscular men

related to his type: likes to be Held. (make of that what you will)

was in love with becks when they were young and everyone who knows him knows this

Jamie:

very much a lads lad and so probably a bit of a bastard but unconsciously acts soft around Gary

loud and over the top especially when he's joking around. VERY touchy-feely but only with people he's comfortable with

does not like sweets. does not like coffee.

loves a paycheck

doesn't have a type he's just insane about Gary. so insane about him that he doesnt necessarily have to actually like men at all to like HIM

completely utterly whipped

as a pair:

always the most insane people in any room they're in and always the most intense

bullying is their love language and they're suspicious if they're being nice to each other

genuinely stupidly fond of each other. what was it I said the other day they just delight each other so much

the reason they delight each other/click so well is BECAUSE they're always the two most insane people in any room they're in

everything is a competition and once they're together they STAY together bc they are both determined to Win at their relationship

#thank u for coming to my ted talk #(also for gary core belief that he has the same genre of autism as me but that is implied)#comtext for some of these: nicky butt literally said in co92 that he muted gary on whatsapp #the other gary stuff is just all like actually literally true like we know this #cant remember when jamie said he doesnt like sweets but he said in his overlap interview that he doesnt like coffee #often in my fics he will get gary coffee and i am always careful to never say that hes got HIMSELF coffee #touchy feely only when he's comfortable comes from him saying on cbs that he doesnt like being touched #vs everything he ever does ever when around gary #him being a bastard i just know in my heart to be true. him going soft around gary well we all have eyes #needing to win at their relationship comes from sara's fic obviously. that is The fic summary of all time #carraville #oh yeah the likes to be held make of that what you will bit obviously is me implying that i think hes a bottom.#but we all already know that too

Fic Writer’s Year In Review

I was tagged by @areyouscarletcold (Thanks so much by the way) and thought I would do one of these as well.

General Fic Stats for 2018:

Word Count: 253,567

Number of fics: 28

Most Popular by Kudos:

Birthday Boy

My first pre-series Coldwave fic. Summary: Mick shows up on Leonard’s birthday to give him a very special gift he’s been thinking about for a while. (Maximum smut)

My Favorite Fic To Write:

Santa Baby

It’s hard to chose, but I have to go with my first contribution to Coldwave Winter Week this year. Summary: Dirty Santa Heist fic. While laying low after a job gone bad, Leonard convinces Mick to help him rob the Starling Mall by dressing up as Santa. (Again, much smut)

Funniest Fic:

Save a Horse (Ride a Cowgirl)

I’m not generally a funny writer, so it is really hard to pick any of what I wrote, but my favorite bit I wrote involved a joke about Leonard being attracted to safes. At least I thought it was funny. Summary: While the Waverider is laying low in the temporal zone, Sara and Kendra take the jump ship for a girls’ night out, which gets cut short when Sara runs off with the bartender. Part 3 of my captain canary poly series. (And yes, more smut)

Fluffiest Fic:

How I Almost Met Your Mother

I am not a fluff writer by any means, and this might be the only story where I actually achieved genuine fluff. A contribution to legends of superflarrow fluff weekend. Summary: After spending the night together, Leonard is forced to hide in Mick’s closet to avoid running into his mother. Pre-series teenage dorks.

Saddest Fic:

This one is actually a tie because I can’t choose between them.

The Space Between Us

This one may count more as angsty than sad, but I still count it because writing it made me sad. Summary: Newly returned from the dead, Michael Scofield tries to bond with his son while out camping. (Deals with the aftermath of faking his death and not knowing how to have a relationship with the child he hurt in the process of trying to save the family.)

Things We Lost in the Fire

This one is definitely sad and angsty. My contribution to Leonard Snart Big Bang. Summary: While going back in time to save teenage Mick from The Pilgrim, Leonard is forced to confront a past he long buried. (Includes the past death of a child, very sad.) I still have plans to continue this one in a pre-series epic fic at some point this year. It is on the ever lengthing list.

Most Challanging Fic To Write:

Paper Birds

My epic Prison Break fic that I started in April and then had to take a step back from for a few months in order for it to happen. It ended up being over 176,000 by the end and felt like it would never end in both good and bad ways. Summary: After two years at Fox River Sara Tancredit thinks that everything is starting to come together for her until she is asked to do a psych eval on Lincoln Burrows before he can be executed.

Fic I’m Proudest of Writing:

All I Want For Christmas

Obviously I am quite proud of Paper Birds, but since I already used that one, I will go with my last contribution to CWWW this year. It includes some fluff, though hinted at, and some angst and ended up my favorite of the seven I wrote for the event. Summary: Arriving home earlier than expected Leonard finds his hot firefighter roommate thinking about him. (A shit ton of smut to go with the fluff and angst, including sex toys and voyeurism.)

Least Popular Fic:

Firestarter

It makes sense this one wouldn’t be super popular since it is an extremely rare pair (this was only the second fic for them on ao3) and it was also posted at the end of the year so it had less chance to get many hits. I am greatful to those that read it and commented or left kudos on this off the wall Mick Rory/Martin Stein fic. Summary: Dr. Stein knows he shouldn’t be attracted to a patient, especially one dealing with his own attraction issues, but he can’t help himself when the opportunity to help the man coincides with his desires. (Therapist AU)

Honourable Mentions:

The rest of my CWWW series: Sounds of the Season (which is basically seven stories of varying degrees of smuttiness)

Bad Dog Another contribution to fluff weekend. Summary: While left alone in his crate while his humans are gone, a small dog is left to wonder what he did wrong for them to abandon him when all of a sudden two thieves break into the house. (Basically, during a heist, Leonard steals this family’s dog, told from the dog’s point of view)

What You Need The second of my Captain Canary Poly series. Summary: After the first time they hooked up Sara couldn’t help thinking of something very particular Leonard let her do only to discover he’s been wanting the same thing. (A lot of smut with some cuddling.)

General Writing Impressions:

I took a long break from writing until this year, and even then most of my stories were written within the last few months. Apparently I wrote 23 stories this year, one of them over 176k, so I got back in the swing of things with a vengeance. I had a very odd year and writing helped me a lot. I have a number of projects in the works including a sequel to Things We Lost in the Fire and to whichever CWWW fic wins the poll I am currently running. I also have some completely standalone stories to work on that I hope someone out there is interested in. Thanks to everyone who read me this past year. I hope that I wrote something that you liked and that you will come back in 2019 to read more. I’ve already posted my first fic, and by no means to I intend to stop anytime soon.

Writers You Should Read:

This is by no means a complete list. I have met a lot of really great people over in the Shipyard discord server that have been a great help to me. I don’t know all of their names on here, so if I forget you, it was probably because I didn’t know you blog name and I am sorry. The ones I do know as well as a few others I would suggest reading are as follows:

@agentmarymargaretskitz @bold-sartorial-statement @stillnotginger10 @pinkletterday @jewishgarygreen @kleptoandpyro @hiverforesteevee @coldflasher @coldtomyflash @sophiainspace @drnathanielheywood @dragonydreams @captainwhogotthecanary @dbcwinter @ranger-of-estel

And many many more. I had a lot of fun writing this year, and I know a lot of other people did to. It has been a great pleasure to share with you all and hear your feedback. I look forward to more in the future. Thank you so much for all the support and Happy New Year!

ship asks! 1. how did you start shipping michemil? 2.what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion? 3. have you ever written fanfiction/drawn fanart of michemil? would you consider it? 4.what’s your favorite canon moment of michemil? (tbh these are great questions!)

hey, thanks for the asks! and thank you! i had the idea for these asks spinning in my head all day, so i thought, why not post them? anyways, here goes:

edit: i probably went waaaay overboard on these, but i felt the need to rant.

1. how did you start shipping michemil?

when i started shipping michemil, i was very lowkey about it. i thought they were very cute, yes, but not my favorite ship. i tried not to get too invested in them because they didn’t get much screen time. they’re a rare pair. that plan obviously did not work out at all. idk when my obsession became highkey. it was probably when i saw them in episode twelve, but i cannot remember for sure. all i know is that when it did, ohh boy, i was hooked. i spent days straight building up a collection of fan art of them on instagram. i even made this tumblr bc i just...needed more. i created a pixiv account just to get fan art of these two. even an ao3 for fanfiction. i just...love them so much. i’ve been obsessed for months now, and i wouldn’t change a thing. looking at fan art/fic of these two honestly makes me so happy. and knowing that there are people out there that love them as much as i do makes me even happier.

2. what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion?

hmm. i could honestly go a lot of ways with this. i can think of (at least) three underrated ships, but it may just be me being trash. i was honestly gonna go leoji for this, but leoji is actually way more popular than i realized it was (god bless, i love them so much). and then i was gonna say either jjbella or michemil (surprise, surprise). so i think i’ll make a few comments about both, bc i can’t decide.

‌•jjbella

now, let me just state that jjbella is not my otp. but i do ship them, and i think that they deserve better as a pairing. a lot of people called isabella a bitch and stuff when she first appeared, but then they were all like ‘no, i love her!’ in episode eleven. jj is so sweet towards her, calling her his ‘precious girlfriend,’ and then announcing he will marry her once he wins. and then everyone got pissy bc of the comments she made about yurio’s fans. but in episode eleven, that’s when she really shined. jj was at his lowest point, and she still cheered and clapped for him. it proved that she loves jj for jj--she doesn’t love him only at his highest point. she is supportive of him no matter what, and i think that’s beautiful. (the picture of them in the new banquet art is so cute btw.) they get more love now, yes, but i still think they are underrated.

‌•michemil

okay, i’m gonna start off by saying that i’m not saying they’re the most underrated bc of my obvious obsession for them. i think they’re underrated for a lot of reasons, actually. michele and emil are considered a rare pair, i believe. vikturi and otayuri are obviously the most popular ships, but after them come ships like seungchuchu, leoji, saramila, etc. out of those ships alone, i see the least michemil. but why? one of the reasons i love them so much is because of their personality contrasts. like, compare them to leoji. leo and guang hong are both pure, sweet boys. they’re a lot alike. michele and emil are opposites in almost every way, and i love that. emil making michele smile gives me life, okay. like i really need this in season two. please. mickey smiles are beautiful. (and flustered michele!!! oh boy!!!) also, their protectiveness over each other is super adorable. (michele’s reaction when emil falls during skating, emil coming to the rescue after mickey screams bc yuuri hugged him, etc.) like, especially considering the fact that the only person michele has ever been close to/wanted to protect was sara. i get it, they are minor characters. that is a main reason they aren’t as popular. but why else? i cannot think of a flaw in this ship. their relationship has flaws, yes, but every relationship does. i could go on forever and ever on why this ship deserves more love, but this is getting long, so i’ll stop here.

3. have you ever written fanfiction/drawn fan art of michemil? would you consider it?

alright, lemme just say that i suck at art. i have tried for years and still haven’t made progress. so no to the fanart. however, i do actually write a lot! i haven’t finished any michemil works yet, but i do have a few in progress. once i do finish them, they will be on my ao3! (you can find me here) i’ll also post the links on tumblr. i’m over 2k on a (hopefully) cute little one-shot with michemil (ft. saramila) that i’m really excited to finish. michemil is honestly super fun to write about, and the lack of fanfic for them is saddening. i’m just nervous bc i’m not sure if people will like my writing or not...

4. what’s your favorite canon moment of michemil?

ohhhh boy, how am i supposed to choose just one? i mean, there aren’t many, and all of them are a blessing. so i’m just gonna go with my top two bc i’m indecisive.

the first one is at the end of episode nine during the hugging spree. yuuri hugs michele, and when he screams, emil comes running to his rescue. (plus, when they were holding onto each other afterwords, i wanted to scream)

and then there’s that beautiful photo from episode twelve. michele has tears in his eyes while he’s laughing, and emil has his arm around him and is all smiley and i was F R E A K I N G O U T bc !!!!!!!!!!

like these are the only two moments i can recall where mickey lets someone be close to him that isn’t sara. like that is some love right there. he loves emil so much and is too dense to realize his (and emil’s!) feelings. like i’m still shook.

well, i hope i got all my points across, and that i didn’t forget anything! i often forget things and then remember them later, but i spent almost an hour doing these, so i think i got everything.

anyways, thank you so much for always sending asks to me! you’re honestly so sweet and polite. ♥

the asks are from this post, and anyone is free to send in more! these are super fun to do, so don’t be afraid to ask! (i’ll probably put way too much effort into my answers, but hey, what’s wrong with that?

BAD BAD OT3

Fandom: Legends of Flarrowverse Type: Mostly nonsense, partially fluff Characters: (Bi!)Ray Palmer, (Ace!)Barry Allen, (Badass-as-Usual!)Sara Lance (feel free to add shipping lines in there at your own discretion) Warnings: Current season spoilers, mostly Word Count: 1836 Tag: Ray Palmer wasn’t invited to someone’s bachelor party, and a bunch of non-sequitur shipping ensues.

Note: I don’t know about you but watching ten year old Ray Palmer watching Singin’ In the Rain just melted my heart and I’m not entirely in control of whatever happened next as I processed these emotions. (this fic is what happened next)

BAD BAD OT3

Sometimes you don't get invited to bachelor parties. Or birth of a first grandson parties. Or congrats you made it off the island alive again parties.

Let's face it, you don't get invited to parties as a general rule.

The closest experience you have is the cumulative black tie events you attended on behalf of Palmer Tech, although invitations to such affairs were more a matter of padding out the millionaire playboy industrialist demographic than a solicitation of your winning personality.

(Come to think of it, you never even went to your own bachelor parties. Although you suppose this is largely due to those two engagements never making it to term.)

And anyway, you were a little preoccupied with saving younger you from the perils of 1988 suburbia while Stein was off seeing little Ronnie into the world, so that one was really just a matter of bad timing. You're sure that if adequate planning had been involved, it would have been you and not MICK RORY of all people to tag along.

And maybe Oliver wasn't really in a partying mood, what with Thea and William and all. You get that. Then again, Oliver Queen wouldn't know the partying mood if it came up and instantly got three arrows to carefully targeted vital organs for its trouble.

Which leaves Barry Allen's bachelor party, and the fact that Ray Palmer's noticeable absence from which has absolutely no discernible excuse.

You and Barry have something special, you always thought. Two connected souls. You both have do-gooder track records that go back to way before you became superheroes. You both have a head for hard science and a heart for science fiction. You both work hard to protect your loved ones from ever experiencing that kind of ultimate loss the two of you have survived over and over.

Not to mention you both have immaculate hair and look great in uniform.

And you know you're living outside the traditional understanding of linear time, where temporal eddies swirl cause and effect and can reasonably be blamed for losing your mail, but you end up hearing from Mick who heard from Jax who heard from Stein who heard from Caitlin back in 2017 that Barry's gone and finally got himself married.

Why it always has to be Mick instead of you, you'll probably never know.

You know you are a leading member of a team in charge of operating a bonafide time machine, so you could just make a pit stop to a couple of months ago and make a note of reminding whoever it was that sent out the invites. But you are also a highly decorated Boy Scout of America so you settle for avoiding time aberrations by inviting Barry's gang to your place for a shindig of your own creation.

It's some time -- speaking from a linear, subjective viewpoint -- before the business of superheroing quiets down enough for both teams to take a step back for some R&R. But in the end, not everybody who was invited shows up.

Since the bachelor party's already ancient history, you decided to make it an event for general congratulations and invited both Barry and Iris as well as the rest of S.T.A.R. Labs. Except Joe West declined, citing allergies to time travel. And Caitlin bowed out, as well, prior engagements and all that. Iris was on board except at the last minute Central City Picture News sent her on assignment to Star City to grab some juicy clickbait headlines thanks to her known connections to the superhero underground.

You tried to convince them that you could postpone. Time machine and all. But Iris West-Allen pushed Barry and Cisco out the door and made you boys promise to have a good time on her behalf.

Having never been to or hosted a party with friends, you wind up wondering whether anyone is having a good time at all.

Mick got through Fiddler on the Roof just fine, but drank himself to sleep before the opening number of Oklahoma! was through. Sara's propped up on the floor leaning against his legs and Zari's snoring in her lap.

Amaya politely stayed through the opening snack buffet, but excused herself when the lights went down. Nate watched her go, and made up some excuse himself not long after.

Stein and Jax and Cisco ended up chattering like school girls about the Waverider's tech, and after repeated shushings by the assembled musical-lovers, eventually took the hint and wandered off on a tour of the ship's underbelly.

So it's just you and Barry on the couch with a bowl of popcorn between you, attentively watching the antics of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.

"I used to watch this with my mom all the time," Barry confides to you quietly. Probably so as not to wake the others, but maybe also because he's a little shy to admit it. "Especially on rainy days and stuff."

"That's cool," you reply. "I, uh, watched it once with a baby Dominator named Gumball. His mom tried to kill us but um. She didn't! Ha ha."

"Um," Barry says, frowning, eyes flicking to you and back to the movie. "That's cool."

Remember how you weren't invited to many parties? Could this stellar conversation have something to do with it?

"Is it just me or does Donald O'Connor totally outclass Gene Kelly in this?" Barry asks you after a while. "Or maybe I just feel like I have more in common with Cosmo rather than Don and I subconsciously feel like he never gets the credit he deserves."

"I wouldn't have thought you of all people identified with the goofy sidekick," you say, "but I know exactly what you mean."

Barry shrugs, but now there's an avenue opened between you.

"You know, I always felt bad for Cosmo in the end," you try again during one of the lulls between numbers. "Don and Kathy run off to live happily ever after and he winds up with nothing."

Barry looks at you with a quiet side-eye. "He doesn't end up with nothing. He has a whole studio department to run. Besides..."

But Barry trails off. You look over and see him shoving a handful of popcorn in his mouth.

"Besides?" You're patient. You can wait out a mouthful of popcorn.

Barry glances down and scratches at the back of his neck. When he puts his arm down, it's along the back of the couch and he tucks one of his legs up under him as he shifts a little to face you.

"Besides," he starts again, meeting your eyes briefly and then finally addressing the TV. "He doesn't need to get the girl to have a happy ending. I never thought Cosmo was, you know, into girls. Or anybody, really. He seemed happy enough with his work."

This is one of those few ways in which you and Barry are kind of the same but also a whole lot different.

You see what he's getting at, though. "I hear that," you concede. "Still, my personal read always was that Cosmo and Don were, uh, or could have been an item. But public morals of the era prevented them from acting on it, and to top it all off, Kathy comes waltzing into the picture and effectively cancels their subtext relationship. That never seemed fair."

There's a small but knowing smile on Barry's face that tells you that you're still on the same page.

"What, you mean Don and Cosmo couldn't be an item without the sex stuff?" he challenges. "I happen to know from experience that that's not necessary to define an active relationship."

A new challenger appears. "Like you want me to believe that you and Iris sat up playing pattycake and braiding each other's hair on your wedding night."

You look over to see Sara with her Mick armchair and Zari blanket giving Barry a predatory once-over.

That was slightly unfair and he blushes a little along his hairline. He does a thing where it looks like he's trying to rearrange his neck as he sits up straighter against the arm of the couch. "It's called falling in love with your best friend. The sex stuff is totally secondary."

"Sex stuff or no," she says, sliding out from Zari like a pro and settling the other woman against Mick in her place, "I think you boys are completely missing the point."

You glance at Barry. "Which is?"

Sara comes and helps herself to the cozy little spot between the two of you on the couch, relocating the popcorn to the floor. She points out the trio on the screen, sitting around Don's kitchen with sandwiches and milk.

"Look at them. Cosmo's got a thing for Don, obviously. Who wouldn't. And Don and Kathy have their quaint little heteronormative leading-man-leading-lady thing going on, sure. But our boy Don, well." She turns her head to you and then to Barry, looking up at you both like she was the one with twenty degrees and you were the high school dropouts.

"He's into both of them and Kathy's cool with it!" Sara shakes her hands at the screen. "If that isn't a picture of polyamorous domestic bliss, I don't know what is."

"Hm," you and Barry both say. The room goes quiet as you study the scene as it plays out before you. You gradually notice the way your head is tilting farther and farther to the right in curiosity that eventually pays out as enlightenment.

"I ship it," you say quietly.

Sara nods, pleased. She needles Barry in the ribs until he squirms. "Sex stuff or no, this way all three of us can project onto these characters to our hearts' content."

The three of you sit contemplatively on the couch, watching the silver screen stars who are now sitting and laughing like maniacs on a couch of their own.

You begin to grow increasingly aware of Sara's arm on the couch behind your neck. You glance over to Barry and see that his embarrassed flush has only deepened.

"You know, you two are a lot alike," she tells you. "In a skinny-jeans and big-and-tall kind of way." Her arm ghosts from the couch back, making your hair stand on end, and her hands end up settled on one each of your and Barry's knees. And stay there.

You actually hear Barry gulp.

"How about more popcorn?" you squeak. Forgetting exactly where the popcorn ended up, you manage to put your foot in it and then kick the bowl halfway across the room, sending popcorn flying.

Zari's jostled awake by Mick's sudden flinch, and she topples to the side amid a sea of popcorn. "Good morning?" she says groggily.

"Good morning," answers Mick (and WHY is it always Mick roRY), "Out of the way new girl, I need to take a leak."

And that's when you decide that parties were never really meant to be your forte after all.
