RAVENOUS
Relationship: Penelope Eckhart/Callisto Regulus | Rating: E | Word count: 7068
Warnings: smut (please read the tags on AO3 for more information) with plot, post-canon
Summary:
âPenelope Eckhart,â he growled. âFollow me to my office. Now.â
Her skin tingled, thrilled she had finally managed to push him over the edge. Even before their busy schedules had kept them apart ahead of Callistoâs coronation, they had to be mindful of Callistoâs condition whenever they engaged in⌠physical activities together. Nevertheless, he had never left her unsatisfied. Penelope still felt bad, given how overworked and exhausted he had been.
But tonight, Penelope would finally get Callistoâs unbridled self to pounce on her.
Or: Penelope and Callisto enjoyed their engagement party, in more ways than one.
Read on AO3 here
A/N: Penelope and Callisto are currently giving us: greenhouse angst so I offer you: domestic fluff and smut.
I played a bit with the timeline concerning the engagement banquet and made it happen the same day as his coronation when in the novel, it likely took place a few weeks after his coronation (when Penelope had already left for her expedition) given the timing of Maryanne's first pregnancy.
I reread the novel to incorporate canon displays of affection between Penelope and Callisto and add more details to them, including: Callisto's ears turning red, kissing hands, Penelope saying he's handsome, her obsession with his hands, Callisto peppering Penelope's hair in kisses and hair pulling.
Concerning the scene with Reynold, I added it because I have a soft spot for him and to bring more closure (for now) indirectly between Penelope and the Duke. I found myself frustrated with their last dicussion before the 5 year timeskip, Penelope herself in the novel says that unlike with Reynold, there were many things she left unsaid.
I did my best to keep the banter even in their intimate moments (smut included) while also showing their mutual adoration for each other (âLet me worship you, be your devoted subject.â/ âI often find myself in awe in the presence of someone so divine,â he admitted in a labored breath. âI will spend the rest of my days worshiping you the same way you are worshiping me now.â)

In honor of the wonderful @angellayercake's birthday I've made us all a mixtape of some of her greatest hits (in my humble opinion)! She is such a lovely, adorable, talented, and kind person. It is common knowledge that Cake writes the Terzo of all time. He is a fully realized human person in her work--funny, flawed, and dreamy as fuck. In the list below you'll find incredible characterization, enchanting romance, and smut that will make your brain melt right out of your damn head. Please consider leaving a comment or two as a lil bday gift for our girl! She deserves it âĄ
recs under the cut!
Kiss me just to kiss me - Terzo x Reader - G, 900 words
Papa struggles not to let his mask slide in front of a sibling of sin.
Banchetto - Terzo x Reader - E, 22.1k (wip)
Papa Emeritus III is struggling to adapt to his life after the Ghost project but perhaps some good homemade Italian food will do the trick.
Pastimes for a Retired Papa - Terzo x Reader - E, 21.9k
So in my mind the Papas were not murdered they all just moved away from the main base of the Ministry to enjoy their retirement. Primo is definitely in the place that has the best gardens tending to his beloved plants. Secondo moved to a bustling city where he could party to his heart's content.
But what of Terzo? Our darling Papa III, so dedicated to the proliferation of the female orgasm. Where would he choose to spend his retirement?
You, a stressed and overworked woman who has just been recommended the services of The Ministry's Spa Resort, may be about to find out.
Give Me Your Best Copper Kiss - Cardinal Copia x Reader - E, 9.3k
You have spent your whole adult life at the Abbey thinking that the Church of Satan would allow you to fulfill your life calling but so far you had been disappointed. The arrival of a new Cardinal at the Abbey renews your passion for your faith and you hope he will bring the change you have been craving. And that you will be the one to help him.
The perks of working for Papa - Terzo x Reader - E, 1.5k
After a hectic morning Papa asks his assistant to have breakfast with him.
(read part 1 here!)
from this slumber you will wake when true love's kiss the spell shall break - Terzo x Reader - M, series
Attending to the Veneration of Relics is a time consuming if boring task for a newly appointed sibling of sin and you can't help wondering what was so special about the Emeritus brothers, especially the Third.
Pomegranate Noir - Terzo x Reader - E, 4.8k
Papa Emeritus III knows the perfect way to unwind after a stressful day. Will you be willing to assist?
Si Padrona - Cardinal Copia x Reader - E, 5.2k
Copia, femdom, ass worship, pegging. Thats it!
đ¤ you know the drill: bookmark, read, and leave kudos/comments!
Did I forget your favorite? You've got a standing invitation from me to add your own rec and reblog âĄ
#HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNNN!!!#birthday mixtape#my fic recs#the band ghost#the band ghost fanfiction#papa emeritus iii#papa emeritus terzo#terzo x reader#papa emeritus iii x reader#cardinal copia x reader#spicy tag#reader insert

Hey, friends: the challenge begins!
Treasure Hunt will run from December 15 through January 15. That's right: a full month of opportunities to hand out high fives to all the authors who write fic for us all to enjoy! This is intended to be fun and easy just like our normal Fandom Boost Bingo, but here are a few things to keep in mind.
Rules:
You must leave a comment on a fic for each square. Just kudos won't do this time around (although please feel free to leave kudos too!). The comment should be at least one sentence telling the author what you liked about their story, not just a 'thanks' -- "I loved the characterization here!" is enough! Hopefully the author will feel the crispness of your high five and be glad.
[Note: very occasionally on older fics there may be no way to comment. If commenting is impossible, you can make a rec post instead. But comments are preferred!]
You must include a link to the fic on your bingo card. You can add a rec if you want, you can say how it made you feel, whatever creativity sparks in you -- but we need to have at least a title, an author, and a link to AO3/tumblr/Livejournal/wherever.
If you want to share your bingo card when you're done, please include @thehighfiveproject whenever you're ready to be sure we see it. You don't have to complete every square! If you get a blackout, that will be awesome -- but even if you only have the time to do one or two items, do it! Share it! Prove to everyone that you're a cool cool fic-reader who appreciates the hard work authors do!
That's it, those are all the rules. The only other thing to keep in mind is to be positive and friendly and spread the high fives around and even some low fives, if you're feeling groovy.
Below the cut you'll find an even more exciting EXPERT MODE card, which is a 4x4 with a few more fic categories if you're feeling up to it! Also below the cut are definitions of each category if you're not sure what's what.
If you want to go EXPERT we salute you! But feel free to just do the regular challenge instead if that's all you have time for. Remember, you don't have to do every square -- so good luck and happy reading!
Keep in mind that, just like with Fandom Boost Bingo, this is completely open to any fandom, any mix of fandoms, any characters or pairings or tropes or ratings. The only thing it has to be is a fic. With that in mind:
Here are the square definitions:
old fic: well, this depends on the age of your fandom, doesn't it? Can't be a hard and fast rule if your fandom's only a month old. Still, try to go with your gut here: look for something that you would consider to be semi 'original' for the fandom, or -- if you're in a well-established fandom like Star Trek or greek mythology fandom -- at least not something posted in the last few years.
new fic: this is the opposite of the above! It doesn't have to be a fic born yesterday, but you know how long your fandom's been around. Maybe it's something from this week (sort by new on AO3 is your friend); maybe in Star Trek fandom it's something from this year. You know what feels new to you, right?
fandom classic: you know those reclists that go around that have the same tried-and-true fics on them? Big fandom juggernauts that everyone loves? This is your opportunity to pick the one you really love and give it some love. One thing about those 'classic' fics is that a lot of people figure the author's heard it all already; whether that's true or not, we think they should get a little love anyway!
underrated fave: you know those reclists that go around that always have the same tried-and-true fics on them? This is your chance to pick a favorite of yours that you think deserves to be on those reclists! What's a story you just can't get enough of that you want everyone to read? Comment, link it, tell us all about it.
<1000 hits/<100 kudos: time to love on a fic that hasn't gotten enough of it! Seek out a fic that has a small readership and let the author know you appreciate it. (For this category, you can also use <100 notes if it's on Tumblr; on Livejournal, this is harder to track, but <15 comments is a good gauge.)
<1000 words: a shorty. Just because it's between 1 word and 1000 words long doesn't mean it doesn't want some love.
>10000 words: a longy. Seek out one of those that you need a little more time to sink your teeth into.
new (to you) author: it's easy to just read fic from familiar faces or friends over and over. Now's your chance to go out into the unknown and try someone new. Maybe it's someone brand new to fandom or maybe it's that person who's been around forever but you haven't tried them out yet. Love 'em either way!
Now, the EXPERT squares:
outside your main fandom: time to launch into the wild blue yonder! Find a fic that's not your usual and give it some love. If you're a Star Trek reader, maybe try... Star Wars.
rare character/pairing: like old and new up above, this is entirely in the eye of the beholder. Every fandom has those big characters and big ships that seem to take up most of the fandom space. Find a fic that features characters that aren't so popular in the fandom of your choice -- they probably need a high five, too.
'underdog' character/pairing: this is a little distinct from the last one, and a little trickier. You know that character you don't usually like, or that pairing that's really usually not for you? Let us know about a fic in your fandom that worked for you that featured them. (Don't squick yourself on our account -- but if you usually like fics with Mr Spock and you don't love Scotty, try to find a Scotty fic that does the job!)
'underdog' trope: like the last one, this might be a little tricky. Maybe you don't usually like AU fics, or time travel, or whatever nsfw trope or tag you can think of -- but this author just really made it work for you. Again, obviously don't squick yourself, but this is a good chance to try stuff outside of the tried-and-true!
1st/2nd person POV: not everything has to be 3rd person. Search out that "I" or "you" that worked for you and let the author know they did a good job.
AO3 Archive Warnings: here be monsters -- find and comment on a fic that uses one of the 'big four' AO3 archive warnings, OR that uses 'Choose Not To Warn'. Tread carefully, and if you're not sure about the fic maybe ask a friend if it'll be a good one for you to try! But we celebrate all fics, including the ones that say ?! or !.
Epic: 100k words or more: we hope you don't have anywhere to be in the morning. These are the hefty ones, the novel-lengths, the ones the author spent hours and days and maybe weeks/months/years working on. They need love! Give them a high five and a comment as thanks!
Happy hunting. - đ

Time to recap the May the Fourth 2024 event entries, starting with the adult fics. The writing in these are adult in rating and topic, and out of respect for everyone's need to curate their own reading experience (and mindful that certain ratings and tags are not everyone's cup of tea), we wanted to spotlight these separately. The rest of the entries are located here in this post. Special thanks to @whenfireanddarknesscollide for the lovely calligraphy on this graphic.
Please be sure to leave a kudos and a comment if you liked the fics. And thanks for reading!
đ Adult Fic Entries đ
Let me help by @alex-dax
Thrawn/Pellaeon, 3k+ words, Mature
He starts to notice that Thrawn seems more tense close to Empire Day. Heâs not at a point where he can be sure, not yet, but he begins to suspect this is more than a dislike of the political games. There is something underneath the glacial calm of that alien face.
Heâs also absolutely not a point where he could even begin to consider discussing it with the Grand Admiral. And so, they spend another Empire Day with drinks in Thrawnâs command room. Pellaeon can even convince himself Thrawnâs shoulders seem less tense at the end of the night.
Almost.
Bridleway by @madelgard
Motti/Jerjerrod, 6k+ words, Explicit
On any other occasion, Tiaan would have hidden himself away in his office at Corellian Engineering Corporationâand by now, his commanding officers were quite accustomed to the sight of Captain Jerjerrod hunched over his drafting table from dawn to dusk. They would have let him be.
But Empire Day held a unique appeal. The fleet was in, along with one officer in particular.
âThere,â Conan murmured, right up against his ear. His hand pointed skywards, to the Strike-class cruiser in low orbit. The hangars were overfull, and Imperial vessels had been given special dispensation to clutter the skies. Hundreds of ships were visible; a durasteel flex of towering Imperial might. âThatâs my Ion Storm. If you ask sweetly, I might be persuaded to take you on a little tour.â

đ Welcome to the first monthly All Time Low Microfic Challenge! đ
March prompt: winner, 612 words [any pairing]
How do I participate?
On the 1st of each month, we will post a prompt word and a word limit. Both the prompts and the word limits will be randomly generated (with the word limit being between 300-900 words).
You have until the end of the month to fill the prompt; write whatever the word prompt inspired you to write, but you must hit the word count exactly. That's the fun of the challenge!
Post your story on whatever platform you feel most comfortable (although we do recommend using AO3), and submit the link to us as you would with any other fic you post. Make it clear in the summary that the fic is for the All Time Low Microfic Challenge (insert whatever month it's for here).
If you are posting to AO3, please add it to the collection on AO3!
This page of the blog will hold this information too.
We also heavily encourage you as a participant or as just a reader to try and read the other works submitted to the challenge if you have time. Leave a comment and kudos, reblog the post on here to place that work in front of new eyes; we are a small but lovely community and we should try to uplift each other's work. <3
How will you check the word count?
Please use wordcounter.net to check your word count is exactly as listed on the challenge. Different platforms such as Word, AO3, etc may show up the word count differently. As long as it matches on wordcounter.net, you're golden.
We will let you know if your story hasn't hit the word count so you have a chance to amend and re-submit.
What kind of genres, pairings, settings, etc am I allowed to write about?
Absolutely anything, as long as it's to do with All Time Low! You can do an AU, fluff, smut, angst, hurt/comfort... whatever you manage to pack into the word count is allowed, just always remember to use appropriate tags and ratings.
As for pairings, you have complete free rein to do slash, non-slash, platonic, romantic, or no pairing at all if you'd rather revolve it around only one of them. The fics can be about the band members, but also crew, both past and present! It can feature other people if you'd like to pair them with someone from another band, an actor, etc. As long as someone involved with All Time Low is the main focus, it counts.
However, please note that some months will have a mandatory pairing challenge alongside the prompt. For example, we may make a non-slash only month, or only allow pairings involving a crew member, etc. This will be noted alongside the prompt and word count for the month if so.
What inspired you to do this?
Giving credit where credit is dueâEve was inspired to start this challenge to bolster the number of fics in the fandom after enjoying participating in similar challenges in the Stranger Things fandom. Namely @steddiemicrofic and @harringrovemicrofic! đ If you're into Stranger Things and would like to write for the fandom/those pairings, please consider joining in their monthly challenges too.
I still have questions.
Hit up our ask! No question is too silly.

Last week, a lovely person went through my back catalogue on AO3 and left a bunch of comments on some of my older fics, and I realised just how happy it made me to know that those fics are still being read and appreciated. I do still regularly receive kudos on older works, but comments are very rare, which is why it was such a lovely, unexpected gift. I think most authors would probably feel the same!
All the more because when I recently left some comments on the older work of one of my own favourite writers, who doesn't even write for this fandom anymore as far as I can tell, they replied so gratefully, expressing that same sentiment of "Wow, I'm so happy and touched that people are still enjoying these stories enough to comment on them!"
So, if you're reading older fics and you enjoy them, please consider leaving a comment, if you're able? Especially if the author is still active, but even if they're not. Because generally speaking, it means so much to authors to get that little confirmation that the work they invested so much of their time and energy in isn't just consumed and then forever forgotten. Thank you so much! â¤ď¸
#i know this has been said many times before of course#but I figure I'll just say it again#for what it's worth â¤ď¸#any comment is super appreciated by the way!!#and so are kudos and reblogs of course!#this is just specifically about the older fics <3#fanfiction#writing things#my writing#minnie talks

Fiddauthor Recs
Ya want a Fiddauthor rec list??? You got it. This is just some fiddauthor I have in my bookmarks, in no particular order. Iâm not adding warnings, so pay attention to the tags and such. If a fic is a WIP, Iâll let you know. And please DO add your own recs in comments or reblogs, especially if you know of fics that arenât on AO3!
 If you read these fics, please consider leaving kudos and comments for the authors!
Weâre Still Here by hellmandraws
Not fic, but a fan comic starting with college fiddauthor and going all the way through post-series. So great and really worth a read!
rumination: a guided tour by gesso (1.9k words)
Authorâs summary: For all the words, expressions, languages he knows; for all the intelligence, experience -- sometimes it's just easier to show, rather than tell. And maybe that means using the mindscape to just pull up very specific memories in a certain order. Because Stanford Pines would much rather take the most convoluted route possible, especially if that means he can avoid plainly talking about his emotions (past and present). [Unlike the other drabbles in this series, this is not complete, and cuts off kind of abruptly at the end of the draft I have]
This fic is sooo worth a read. Technically a WIP, but donât let that dissuade you.
Somnus Idigus by Abyssalzones (2k words)
Authorâs summary: It's hard to sleep, still, nearly a full year after Bill's defeat. Ford manages to be coaxed to bed by kind words and gentle hands, and wonders just what he did to deserve this kind of understanding. (AKA: Ford has nightmares, keeps trying to put off sleep, Fiddleford manages to lovingly wrangle him to bed.)
Sooo sweet! The exact kind of post-canon snuggly Fiddauthor fic I need in this world!
Intricate Rituals by HazelnutofFortune (1.5k words)
Authorâs summary: âFiddleford,â Ford says. He hates asking for help.Â
âMmm?â Fiddleford asks, looking up, scalpel still raised.Â
â Um, could you show me how to get at that big clump next to the Aorta?â How humiliating. Why did he even ask. Except-
âWell, sure,â Fiddleford sets down the heart and takes Fordâs a little gingerly. My heart is in his hands, Ford thinks. Fuck.Â
Extremely cute! A WIP! College Fiddauthor and Ford is soooo smitten.
Jersey Boy by Fordtato (110k words)
Authorâs summary: Ford does not want to be at Backupsmore University. He should be in California, at West Coast Tech, showing the world that he's more than a freakish waste of space from Jersey; showing the world that he's more than the scrawny, brainy half of a dynamic duo. He's angry, sure, and he's sure-as-fuck tired of being just one-of-two-Stans.
But who isn't angry right now? The world is in turmoil, they're sending our boys to Vietnam and if it wasn't for this stupid school, Ford would have probably been sucked into the draft himself.
But then he meets Fiddleford Hadron McGucket, and everything is different now.
A slowburny fic that really digs into the historical side of college Fiddauthor. It doesnât shrink away from the tougher, uglier stuff that being a poor, gay, Jewish college student in the seventies would mean for someone. Features an angry, confused Ford who is having a Hard Time. Also has a whole host of interesting OCs! Also a WIP. This fic takes a turn or two that I really didnât expect and Iâm very excited to see where it goes, as the author is on record saying that they WILL finish it.
if you love me, come clean by Athgalla (105k words)
Authorâs summary: This is pretty much just a collection of various moments and possible events throughout Fiddleford and Stanford's relationship that I felt like exploring, starting with their first proper meeting in college on to post-Weirdmageddon events.
Without further ado, on to the tragically star-crossed nerds!
iylmcc spans Ford and Fiddsâs first meeting through post-series. Itâs so interesting, and so sweet, and has so many wonderful details! Just a great take on their relationship that you deserve to read, dear reader. Treat yourself!
Maybe Itâs Not Too Late by GinAndShatteredDreams (main fic is 82k words, whole series is 110k)
Authorâs summary of the main fic: Overall: A post-weirdmageddon asexual Fiddauthor fic in which revelations occur, a confession goes awry, some unfinished business reemerges in the form of a raging pterodactyl, and chaos ensues. (vaguely romantic - hugs/hand holding/cuddling/comfort, no kisses - just adding that so I don't disappoint anyone who's hoping for it - or maybe for the sake of people (like me) who sometimes like to read something without ;))
(Edit - No romantic kisses. There's a forehead kiss between family members at one point.)
*It would probably be good to mention that most of this was written before the journal came out and even after, I tried to keep true to the ideas formed before reading it with one exception that is noted later.
So as you can tell, I linked you the whole series. A both super angsty and very sweet fic with wonderful asexual post-series Fiddauthor! Iâve never read anything quite like it, totally check it out.
Romance is Overrated and Living Confusing by 3HobbitsInATrenchcoat (25k words)
Authorâs summary: Stanford and Fiddleford started out as college roommates and over the years grew into something more than friends but just to the side of what others would consider a "normal relationship." But honestly, is it really anyone's business what they are as long as they care deeply for each other?
Scenes from Stanford's life as he tries to figure out where he fits in a world built for romance and traditional family dynamics.
This fic is restrictedâ you need an AO3 account to read it. Also, itâs part of a series, but the other fic is Stan-centric so itâs not a part of this rec list. Aaaand also itâs a WIP. Okay, with that out of the way, this is another Ace!Fiddauthor fic, which you know Iâm all about! This fic is more about college and research-aged Fiddauthor, and itâs as delightfully fraught as you could hope. The author also does a cool thing regarding Fiddlefordâs time in Oregon, while still keeping it canon-compliant. My hat is off to them.
To Struggle For Dreams And To Hunger For More by Voidfish (8k words)
Authorâs summary: âAm I gay?â Ford reads the quiz out loud, before clicking to begin. To his frustration, most of the questions are simply asking him if he has had sex with men (he hasnât), if he wants to (he isnât quite sure), or if he ever will (the jury is still out). Nothing defines attraction, no one clarifies if the burn in his stomach is love or gastrointestinal issues, and nothing leaves him feeling any better on the subject.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stanford Pines has never loved a woman but, he realizes with a painful jolt, he canât say with certainty heâs never loved a man.
Aaaaaa I love this fic. I love it sooo much. Post-series and Ford is trying to figure out his sexuality and his feelings for Fidds. Plus a scene where he comes out to Stan! Just a delight.
And Shifty Makes Three by Sarelle (13k words)
Authorâs summary: Ford Pines and Fiddleford McGucket deal with the ups and downs of relationships and parenthood in 1970s Oregon. A task not much aided by the fact they have to keep secret the true identity of their shapeshifting alien grub son, from friends, family and the Feds.
Based on WDW's Shiftyverse, can be read as a standalone.
I fucking LOVE this fic!! Aaaaa the little details about Ford and Fidds and their relationship! Their alien son!! This fic is so up my alley itâs bonkers.
queer clan in the middle of the woods by toosolidcuuj (series is 23k words)
Authorâs summary of the series: *to the tune of "our house" by madness* queer clan in the middle of the woods, queer clan in the middle of the
Canon-divergent AU in which Stan and Ford make up, adopt an alien, and gradually amass an extended queer family.
This is ALSO a Shifty-adopting fic! With Fiddauthor! This one also has Stan, and focuses a lot on Stan and Ford fixing up their fraternal relationship in addition to the Fiddauthory bits. I havenât reread it in a hot second but I remember it being very fun but also taking Shiftyâs trauma quite seriously, which I thought was interesting and cool to read.
(There's a) Half moon rising in southeastern skies by orphan_account (17k words)
Authorâs summary: A series of memories, all compiled in convenient cinema-reel format. Itâs all here, folks, the good, the bad, the sexy, the emotionally distressing. Next to nothing left out.
Sad that this fic was orphanedâ I love it. Itâs in second person, and Iâm all about that! Fiddleford looking back at his fractured memories post-series and also reconnecting with Ford. Absolutely wonderful characterization. Author, if youâre out there, I love this fic!! I hope you are happy with it in your heart!!
Syncing Phases by toosolidcuuj (5k words)
Authorâs summary: Stan has gone his whole life never imagining he had a twin, let alone an android twin who can shoot cannons out his hands, makes money appear out of thin air, and has a close relationship with a werewolf named Fiddleford McGucket. Even more surprisingly, FORD needs Stan's help erasing a world-ending computer virus. But BILL has allies in many places, leaving the Stans uncertain who they can trust.
WIP. This fic is SUCH a fun and interesting concept!! Only child!Stan, Werewolf!Fidds, Robot!Ford??? Yes, please! A totally unique fic that is so fun to read!

Snippet Sunday!
Thank you as always for the lovely tag @therealgchu ! I loved your snippet and all the ones I've been able to catch so far!
I know since it is later in the day everyone is probably tagged already so if you see this; You're it!
This snippet is going to be a part of the FINAL chapter of Fleeting Pleasures!
This scene is in Delgado's POV. I can at least tell you that within this chapter you will have three different point of views. (I am sure you can guess who.)
I had a lovely time this past weekend and unfortunately none of that time was spent writing really. But the break was nice, and I am hoping soon I will have deliciousness ready to server to you all! As always thank you for reading, reblogging, commenting, and leaving kudos for this fic! It has helped make the journey all the sweeter.
Please enjoy!
He had waited long enough, been patient long enough, and there was an eager need waiting inside of him. He had let her disobedience slide the first time even though he knew what that would look like from an outsideâs perspective. Delgado needed her to trust him. To want to cooperate for his legacy plans.
Ghoul â no Carmilla was skilled, durable, stubborn yes, but where other rooks had lacked beforehand, she persevered. He considered what a one-on-one match would be like between the two of them often and a part of him knew she would most likely best him no matter how ruthless he let himself be. One thing he recognized as soon as he laid eyes on her, traitor or not, was she had unbreakable willpower. The will to do whatever it took to get her where she wanted to be. Therefore, he needed her to want to be beside him whatever it took. Was it love? No. But a faux love was something he was willing to play around with if it persuaded her his way. The Crimson Fleet would always be his first but perhaps he could spare some room for a second.
The door to the command center opened from below and there she was, finally. The sound of her boots echoed throughout the room announcing her presence purposely. He knew she could move quieter than that. Her citrine eyes searched the dim room, observing every minute detail that she could absorb. Another talent he appreciated about her.
âYou finally graced me with your presences, mi bellaquito.â He said loudly, purposely giving her his whereabouts, knowing her ears would lead her piercing gaze to him. Those eyes as cold as the gems that lay wait within dark caves on artic worlds.
âI heard you missed me.â Ghoulâs quip was followed by a sly smirk, giving away her amusement.
âDonât get full of yourself now.â He tried to refrain from letting his own amusement show on his face even if his playful tone slipped. She always had an ego; it didnât help that he had sent his own extra hands to fetch her. He started his way towards her feeling the pull of her gravity bring him in. Something he disliked but acknowledged that it was that type of presence that he needed for his mission. Â
âWhat did you want from me?â Her face was now strewn from annoyance as if he was the one pestering her. He let her forget once who was boss, but he didnât plan to make a habit out of it. Â
âTsk tsk tsk.â He wagged his gloved finger at her and shook his head. Refusing to give a real answer to her question. âI am the only one allowed to demand answers here. Like where the hell have you been so long?â
âA little bit of everywhere. Do you want to know specifics? I got the Fleet some credits and myself in the process.â Her answers were kept just as vague, and it got under his skin. Delgado saw how she bit her lip before answering. She was holding back what she really wanted to say and he wondered what it was. She was obviously going to be a handful during this meeting of theirs just by the way she stood, arms crossed as if ready to throw a tantrum.
He finally stopped in front of her, holding his breath and his temper back as much as he could. She riled him more than most. He centered his gaze onto her, tempting her to talk back again but instead he responded with a snap.
âDo you think this is a game, Rook?â He felt his nostrils flare with the hiss of his words. Her smirk was no longer amusing, his patience no longer forgiving. A part of him considered just throwing her out of an airlock and find someone else. It was making him lose his own focus. âYou should be thanking me every day that you wake up breathing because I could have just as easily put a bullet in your head.â
He felt the high tension between them, their locked gazes a part of their game set in motion. He wanted her to drop the act. Delgado knew even if it wasnât entirely intimate there was chemistry between them. He wanted her to submit with consent but with her it so far had never been that easy.
âThank you, Delgado.â His name playfully fell off her tongue with such rebellion. Her thanks was not a real thanks but a proclamation of how she refused to give in so easy. Â Something he both admired and loathed.

I Could Never Sleep In Your House
You can read this full work on AO3! Please consider supporting it through kudos and leaving a comment!
I could never sleep in your house.
Your house was too full for me to fit inside it. It had your parents, your cat and your dog, once upon a time it even contained your brother. Even within the silence, there was this constant buzz, this pressure to hold oneâs breath so as not to add to it. One could never be alone and yet, in the midst of it all, I always felt this certain emptiness . Perhaps, because it always contained everyone but you with me.
There was only one person in that house who invited me to be just as comfortable as she was. Your cat would greet me at night when I couldnât sleep, sheâd be there when I went to the bathroom, wanting to scream, and she spent her mornings with me while I waited for you to wake from your death like slumber.
Iâm starting to think your cat loved me more than you ever did.Â

Friends, time to get your high fives out of the crisper drawer.
Here's your card for this edition of the bingo. Remember, zero need to sign up, but if you want to share it with us so we can reblog and share the love, make sure to @ us by Monday, May 1.
Remember this, too: you don't have to complete the card! Any number of these things you can do will be a great high-five to whatever creator you want to shout-out or encourage. Just make sure you provide a link to whatever you're high-fiving about. (Except for 'message a creator', although if you want to brag about the cool person you messaged feel free to link to their work!)
Below the cut you'll find the usual list of definitions for each square in case you need any help or ideas, along with a black & white version of the card if you want to get creative and make it your own.
Hereâs the way weâre defining the activities associated with each card. If any of this is confusing after you read it over, send us a message and weâll help!
- âleave kudos on a ficâ
This is the easiest one! Just go out and find a fic you like and leave a kudos on it, if you havenât already. Itâs a small gesture but it makes an author know that someone actually read their story!
- âreblog/retweet an art postâ
Find any art post you like and share it! Hereâs the catch: you need to interact with it a little. When you reblog/retweet, please tell the creator what you thought about the piece â you can add some tags, or reply to the post, or quote-retweet or add a comment, or anything! A simple âI love this!â is nice but some details are even better (âyour linework is so good!â or âthat shade of blue is perfectâ). One thing to think about: a lot of art on Tumblr is reposted (like when a user posts another artistâs work from Pixiv, say), so itâs nice if you make an effort to interact with posts that are actually from the creator if you can. That way the artist will see your comment!
- âreblog/retweet a fic postâ
Same as the above, but for fic! Again, tags/replies/comments are needed, preferably with a little detail. You donât need to be super eloquent or leave a detailed review (although if you have time/energy, that would be appreciated!); a tag as simple as âthat was really cuteâ or âgreat characterization!â will do. Like with the art posts, itâs nice if you reblog directly from the writer (if you can) â some fics are posted by AO3 feed bots and the like, so the author may not even know a reblog has happened.
- âreblog/retweet an editâ
Same as the above, but for edits! Edits can include a gif set, or a set of screencaps, or even a fanvid. And, again, some simple tags/replies are needed. âI love that song choice!â for a vid or âgreat coloring!â on a gifset can let people know their work is being appreciated.
- âcomment on a ficâ
Find a fic, on any fic-hosting site you like, and leave a comment. Thatâs it! Again, no need to leave a novel-length comment (unless youâre inspired!) â a sentence or two is all weâre asking for this square to be considered complete. This is a great opportunity to let a writer know how their piece made you feel, or what section you particularly liked.
- âmessage a creatorâ
âCreatorâ here can mean anyone who makes *anything* to do with fandom: art, edits, fic, meta, knitted sweaters with character faces on them â if theyâve made anything, theyâre a creator, and nowâs your chance to let them know theyâre appreciated. Send a message (anonymous or not!) letting them know that you enjoyed their work!
- âmake a rec postâ
This is a chance to tell your fandom friends about something they need to see. You can rec a fic, a blog, a fan event, an artist, an author, that person who knits sweaters with character faces â any kind of fandom thing that you want to make sure people see. This doesnât have to be long or complicated, but feel free to go into as much detail as you want! Just make your own post, on Tumblr or Twitter or wherever else seems best to you, and give that thing you loved a little fanfare.
- âinteract with a meta postâ
A little love for our analytical friends! Here, you can reblog/retweet any kind of meta post for your fandom, whether itâs a three sentence headcanon or an essay-length dissection of why Character X is the absolute best character in Fandom Y. Itâs even better if you respond to the meta, whether thatâs agreeing or (respectfully!) adding your own thoughts, but sharing it is the main thing here.
And hereâs the non-decorated version, in case you feel like making it your own. Get creative, if you want!

Pinned post/My info:
Last updated June 4, 2024
TL;DR: Marr, he/she/they, neurodivergent, Total Drama (Alenoah, Priyemma, etc), fanfiction, sideblog @priyemma
Im sooo busy đŞ
Hello! My name is Marr! I use He/She/They, whatever. Iâm Omni, Bigender, and Aspec. Iâm cool with any gendered terms, and I pretty much use them interchangeably myself. Gal, guy, neither, whatever!
I have ADHD and anxiety (both diagnosed) along with other things, but those are the ones Iâll probably talk about on here the most. Iâm mixed White and Latina (plus Native) but fairly white passing. I speak English and want to learn Spanish, but Iâm definitely not fluent. American, and a lot more âcountryâ than I realize lol (Iâm a midwestern gal)
Right now im really into Total Drama. Itâs one of my longest lasting hyperfixations so far! I also post about a few other things, like House M.D and Dungeon Meshi. (More likely reblogging those things though)
Specifically in Total Drama I mostly post about Alenoah and Priyemma. Recently been talking about the newest Reboot season (and my complaints with it). I talk the most about World Tour and TDI 2023 because itâs been a while since Iâve watched all the seasons and those are the ones I remember the best. I plan to rewatch them all⌠someday. I havenât even finished watching reboot s2 because itâs painful!
I love shipping! I canât even list them all because thereâs so many tbh. I am very much a multi shipper and I constantly am finding new things to ship! I try to not engage in ship hate ever, but sometimes I slip up lol. I post some less-than-positive content about Nemma on occasion or Juliayne⌠everything that could be considered ship hate is tagged as such and never tagged with the ship that is being slandered.
I canât really draw, so if I ever post my beginner drawings please be nice lol đ Iâm still developing a style and learning. I have many, many WIPs that I might share here and there. I do really want to be able to draw confidently and make art for the things I love!
Iâve started writing fanfiction again lately! Itâs a struggle for a lot of reasons. Props to everyone who writes fics because itâs hard. It takes me hella long too⌠I have a lot Iâm writing but few published lol. My user is Marrfixated on AO3, feel free to leave comments or kudos!
Iâve written four Alenoah oneshots so far. Most recently posted Contra Entendre, so go read that! I have 3 other oneshots that are somewhat written and Iâll post someday, but Iâve shifted my focus to planning some longer fics. I currently have an Alenoah AU and a Priyemma post-canon fic in the works! The latter is my main focus as I plan out the entire thing⌠kind of obsessed with it. My job and taking care of my little siblings takes up a lot of time, but now that I have a break from classes, my free time can be spent on writing instead.
I also have tiktok @Marrfixated. I post on tumblr more than TikTok because itâs easier, but I started off there. I mainly repost (reblog) things on TikTok. I donât really use anything else yet (except ao3). I also have a Priyemma centric sideblog on here (@priyemma), where Iâll usually reblog content from and vice versa.
Youâre on thin ice if you engage in ship discourse, constantly hate on ship I like (it makes me sad đ), or are a dsmp fan/an enjoyer of any of Vivziepopâs works (I donât like you).
Proshippers DNI. Zionists DNI. TERFs DNI. Vivziepop defenders DNI. Dream supporters DNI. Dsmp supporters also DNI. Do some damn research. Also general DNI⌠I canât list everything that makes someone a terrible person.
I might post suggestive things here sometimes, but rarely and usually jokingly. Anything like that would be tagged accordingly, and let me know if thereâs something for me to add. I donât plan to EVER post nsfw or suggestive content related to td, it makes me uncomfortable as most of the characters are minors. I do curse a lot, and reclaim the f slur on occasion. Please donât engage in ship discourse on my account for no reason! Thatâs no fun.
I usually take like 3 years to answer asks or dms or whatnot for various reasons⌠but I swear I donât mean any offense! I just um forget sometimes đ Or I post it to drafts instead⌠or I get nervous đś and sometimes idk if you just sent it or want me to actually respond so I just guess? Ummm yeah. Also they go missing a lot. Probably have to figure that out. Oops! But basically⌠Iâm not a passive aggressive person, and I mean no ill will if I donât answer anything
I reblog a lot, so I tag all my non-reblogs as #original post. Lazy posts are usually tagged with #shitpost. Random posts are usually tagged as #nonfandom post. My td fics are tagged as #my fanfiction, but itâs probably easier just to find them on ao3
Thatâs it!

series masterlsit
Natasha walked down the stairs to find you on the couch, surrounded by a pile of clean clothes that you slowly made your way through, folding them as some mind numbing reality show played in the background. Giving you a quick kiss, she takes a seat on the couch, the pile of laundry between you as you both continue folding.Â
When sheâs neatly folded the last of the clothes, one of Rosieâs jumpers that your grandma knit for her, she sighs and shuffles closer to you, her head on your shoulder while her hand gently caresses your belly. Seven months along and she couldnât be more excited. Youâve both decided against a gender reveal party, opting to find out the babyâs sex after birth.Â
âI think we might actually be able to be in bed at a reasonable hour today,â she sighs into your shoulder, breathing in the smell of the detergent and another familiar scent thatâs entirely you.Â
âOh, I love it when you talk dirty to me,â you say, putting on an exaggerated sultry tone. You do in fact end up making it to bed at a decent time that night. Natasha was out the door early for her morning run and by the time you woke up, she was already dressed, getting started on breakfast. Guess you were on Rosie duty today.Â
You woke your daughter up, immediately rushing her into the shower and making sure she was ready for school so Natasha could drop her to the bus stop on her way to work. You were mostly working from home, your job allowing you that flexibility but you suspect youâd have to apply for maternity leave soon. This baby was not kind on your back, forget about your bladder and your feet.Â
Natasha went off to work, dropping Rosie off at her stop on the way while you dove right in, checking work emails, your phone ringing incessantly. By the time the clock hit five, you were exhausted and craving some banana bread. So thatâs what you did. It would be a great snack for Rosie too and it was your neighbour, Mrs. Hernandezâs duty, to collect the kids from the bus stop today.Â
By the time Natasha got home, the entire house was smelling like fresh banana bread, Rosie and you at the kitchen table as she munched away and you just watched your baby girl with a smile on your face. Peaceful moments like this were always welcome in your household, a respite from the general noiseness.Â
âBanana bread?â she asks as she greets you with a kiss on the cheek. She rushes up to change and by the time she comes back down, Rosie is already out the door, playing with the other kids in the neighbourhood.Â
âYou gotta stop making all this stuff, babe. My jeans barely fit me anymore,â she says the last part in a whisper, as if someone might hear her. You stifle a laugh, patting her arm before handing her a plate. Youâd noticed, of course you had. Your cravings, no matter how weird, were always entertained and Natasha indulged too, everytime. So, it shouldnât really be that surprising that sheâd put on a bit of weight, especially considering that sheâd cut back on missions too.Â
âBut I like it, you look so sexy,â you say with a poke at her now slightly softer belly, her still apparent abs betraying her true strength. She turns away from you with her nose in the air and her mouth full of banana bread.Â
âIâm sorry. Look, Iâm going shopping tomorrow, some last minute things we need for the nursery. Why donât you join me? We can get you new jeans too,â you offer and she quickly agrees, always having loved shopping with you. Plus, she couldnât have you going alone.Â
The next day once Rosie is off to school, you take the day off to go shopping with your wife. Natasha drives as you list off all the things you need to pick up today. A hamper, blackout curtains and water paints for Rosie. You were also considering getting a little wooden rocking horse but that could wait for now.Â
Once youâd gotten all you needed, you headed to a clothing store, looking at jeans for Natasha. She seemed to hate everything you picked out, making fake gagging noises. You just rolled your eyes and moved on, looking at more jeans. A couple of girls approached Nat for a picture, chatting with her for a few minutes. Natasha had always been pretty private about her personal and family life so when the girls noticed you and the fact that you were pregnant, they lost their collective minds. Gushing over you, touching your stomach. You promptly ask them to stop, which they do but not without making a dirty face. Natasha is quick to whisk you away from them.Â
âUgh, what makes people think they can just come up to a pregnant person and start touching their belly,â you shiver in disgust as Natasha squeezes your hand gently.Â
âI know and you did good asking them to stop,â she says, gently kissing your hand thatâs intertwined with hers.Â
âYeah, but did you see their faces? Thereâs going to be some nasty tweets waiting for us tomorrow,â you sigh and Natasha knows youâre right.Â
âHey, how about we check out another store? This oneâs a bust,â she says, pulling you along.Â
At the next store, she finds something she likes and youâre glad for it, finally being able to be off your feet. You sit on one of the small benches just outside of the changing room Natâs in, breathing a sigh of relief. You step out of your shoes, wiggling your toes and stretching them before slipping your shoes back on.Â
You hear the lock click as Natasha steps out in a dark blue denim, high waisted and figure hugging. She turns about, letting you see. âWhat do you think?â she asks, wiggling her eyebrows.Â
âYour bum looks great in those,â you say with a smirk.
âAre you telling me it doesnât always look great?â she narrows her eyes, fake pouting. You roll your eyes, telling her she should definitely get those.Â
She steps out in a hot pink number next which you didnât honestly expect to look that good. But what can you say? You thought she looked great in whatever she wore. At the end of the day, you walk home with all your shopping done, Natasha having splurged and bought three pairs of jeans.Â
You call the babysitter on your way home, letting her know youâll be home in twenty minutes and asking if Rosie had something to eat. She assured you all is well. Once home, after dinner, you and Natasha are in bed, reading a book. Natasha shuts her book, tossing it with her reading glasses to the side. She nudges your foot with hers when you donât immediately give her attention.Â
âHmm, what?â You ask absentmindedly, continuing to read your book.Â
âY/n,â she whines, grabbing your arm and shaking you lightly, trying to get you to give her some attention.Â
âWhaaaattt?â You ask, slightly annoyed.Â
âWhat are you getting annoyed for? Canât a woman ask her wife for some lovinâ?â She pouts.Â
You smile, giving her a kiss, which she lets you pull away from, albeit reluctantly.Â
âAre you drunk Natty?â you ask her as a deep blush spreads across her cheeks and chest.Â
âNo, I just wanna kiss you,â she mumbles.Â
âAw,â you say, your heart melting at how soft she was being. It wasnât a common sight, her being that needy.Â
âStop,â she says, lightly punching your arm.Â
âOkay,â you say as you pull her close, leaving small kisses all over her face as she flushes a deep pink.Â
âI love you,â you mumble in between kisses and she responds by deepening the kiss. Your night ends in a frenzy of soft hands and desperate touches, the both of you far too exhausted to do much other than cuddle and fall asleep.Â
That is until your incessant bladder wakes you up again.Â

Queliot & The Magicians Fic Reading Winter Challenge, part 1
I'm going to return to posting about my fic reading. Basically this is just a list of Queliot & Magicians fanfic that I read & loved! With a few little comments about why I loved it, in case you want to try it, too.
However--there's a little more to this challenge personally, behind the scenes.
I started reading Queliot fanfic before I had an AO3 account. While I always left kudos as a guest, at first, I didn't leave a lot of comments.
Meanwhile, this summer, I was out of town a lot. I did a lot of fic reading--but a lot of it was offline, with fic I downloaded so I could read them--and then I got super busy upon return and still haven't finished commenting.
And also--a lot of the fic I love, including several I'm currently reading, are LONG. I don't wanna stress myself out or shortchange the fic by telling myself to read a new-to-me fic every day, like I did the last time.
This time--my personal challenge is gonna include spending more time reading Queliot & Magicians fic (I love it the most, and I've been so stressed out lately that I haven't had time to read enough--yet ironically reading the fic would help so much with the stress!)--but also--taking the time to go back and add comments to some of the fic I've read but haven't yet commented on!
I'll be sharing the list here--because I hope more people will dive in & enjoy these wonderful stories--also to keep me on track and help me find the fic I love. I'll do my best to post every few days with 2 or more recs. My goal--starting today through Jan. 31--is to rec about five per week--for a total of 40 fic! Let's see how I do!!! <3 (Yes, you know me too well--I will be trying for more than 40 LOL)
By the way--this whole thing started thanks to @lizardkingeliot and specifically:
I really love this high school AU showing Eliot & Quentin's friendship--and just how important they become to one another, how quickly (platonic, not a romance). It's deep and moving and for me showcases just how well they connect. Please mind the tags. Thank you so much, @tbraves24
And I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known how to save a life - tbraves24 - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
2. Queliot romance--very hot!--very much like them--and so sweet! I love how their connection develops--it feels so true to them--and honestly I just love how they are together in this fic. Thank you so much, @veronicasawyer99

3. I can't stop thinking about this one. Mosaic fic--my favorite type of Queliot fic--oh, the sweetness! Eliot makes a puppet show for Teddy...also showing El missing Margo...omg. Thank you so much, @lizardkingeliot

20 Questions For Fic Writers
I was tagged by @quordleona03! Thank you so much for the tag
I know lots of people have already been tagged, so consider this a formal request that if you have NOT been tagged, you please come play!
But off the top of my head, @onekisstotakewithme @cuddleswinchester @dreamingofspring :D
How many works do you have on Ao3?
40.
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
I think we might officially be leaving 2023 with 300,842 words. Not a bad count for only publishing since April! That's a novella a month right there.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
MASH. :D
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Scratching The Itch, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, To Have and To Hold, Anything You Say Can and Will Be Held Against You, and Tear Out All Your Tenderness. Good morning beejhawk nation I see you all hkdfds
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to! Sometimes they pile up and I get overwhelmed and just click that "Mark All As Read" button while hiding behind my hand. But I really try to circle through nowadays even just for a "Thanks for reading!!" because I really appreciate every single one!!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I feel like ...With Too Many Miles Between Us was a pretty rough one. There's maybe optimism that you can read through the cracks, but it was a damn agonizing prompt fill (affectionate) all around. The Good Ones Always Seem to Break is another. Sorry that I keep putting you in situations, Beej.
7. Whatâs the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Oughhhh, just about anything that suggests they don't end here, so to speak. I think To Have and To Hold probably tops the list, but I Intend to Hold You For the Longest Time and Soft Place to Land also come in hot just by nature of being established postwar situations.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet! I've had a couple of people not understand what I was going for and who were not afraid of saying so, but it wasn't outright hate. They were probably just not the intended audience.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Ahh yes. 65% of my current fics are rated E for a reason, and the 5 M ones are flirting with that line.
I categorize myself as an erotic romance writer, meaning that typically if you remove my sex scenes from my fics, you are losing integral information or character/relationship development that would otherwise make the fic not stand on its own. I also have a handful that are just pure eroticaâsex for titillation's sake rather than development. I adore writing smut!! It's a lot of fun, it's exciting when you know you've landed it exactly like you wanted to, and it's a way for me to reclaim all those years I spent being forcibly repressed due to my religious upbringing. I love every minute of it.
10. Do you write crossovers? Whatâs the craziest one youâve written?
I do not!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
The Famous 4077 Dog Tag Party certainly counts! Many of us authors randomized a list of pairings for both eras of the show, and then we were responsible for picking a pairing, writing the characters going on a date (platonic or romantic), and seeing what happened. Extremely fun way to get some rare pairs we might not have expected. For example, I got to write Margie/Klinger for it!
14. Whatâs your all time favorite ship?
Hey now I am too fucking polyam to answer this and you know it. Mcpunnihawk probably tops the list, warring with margbeej and sidbeejhawk.
15. Whatâs a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I am not taking this defeatist energy into 2024, how dare you. One day, my pretties, I'm coming back for all of you and we are crossing that finish line OR ELSE.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Smut, capturing character voices accurately, physicality, spinning relational scenarios on the fly.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Genres like mystery or sci-fi or horror, repetition of comfort words/phrases, putting my characters through significant levels of pain (I am too empathetic, I can and will cry over my own fics).
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Things that I do not feel comfortable doing myself because I am not familiar enough with any other language to know I'm doing it accurately.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The kid wizard one.
20. Favorite fic youâve written?
How dare you make me pick from my children. Scratching The Itch, Anything You Say Can and Will Be Held Against You, I'd Give Up Forever to Touch You, and Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures. Notably this could all change by this time tomorrow. I'm very fond of my fics.
