#plot driven fic
Text
You know how in irl scandals when a famous rich white man is revealed to have done something really really bad, whatever it is - and despite the amount of proof, people are still split between turning against him or supporting him and thinking the scandal is a fraud
Imagine that if Gabriel is revealed to be Monarch and not some self-sacrificing hero. Fashion events in Paris will still be made in Gabriel's honour despite the revelation. Some people will call that out, outraged that a terrorist & child abuser is being honoured. Some will say you gotta separate the man from the artist. Others will say it's all lies and a wild conspiracy, because "Ladybug said so and she wouldn't lie to us", or because Gabriel always was an "honest man and would never do that". Another part might mistrust Ladybug, while others might defend her. Some might wonder if Adrien's part of it all, some might defend him. Some won't care at all about any of this and will just happily live their life now back to normal.
And "Lila" (whoever her name is) will look at all this mess and have a lot lot of fun 😊
#i'm not saying it's gonna happen in the show but it is very...fun...to think about 😶#because when i see how wild things are irl when this happens i'm like...dang imagine with gabe though#i'd write a fic if i had time & patience#or if i was any good at multi-chapters plot-driven stories which...doubts fnnddjjd#anyway. if s6 exploits that like it started slightly with ppl mistrusting ladybug in s5... well 🫣#recreation

You were in the midst of running through all the possible options of escape in your head when your thoughts were interrupted by the one voice you didn’t particularly want to hear.
“What is going on?”
Underneath Corazon, you stiffened. You unwittingly caught Corazon’s gaze. It was Doffy. Doffy had come out. Was it the children? Judging by their startled appearance, they were just as surprised.
Corazon eased up on his hold, and you sat up, brushing down your shorts and ignoring the grassy stains on your knees.
“There are better places to fuck,” Doffy said, arms folded over his chest, looking between you and Corazon.
You blinked, confused. “What, that’s not—”
He turned his gaze to you, his mouth quirking up at the corner in warning. “That’s not what? Are you going to tell me, you and my brother were in the middle of something else?”
You swallowed.
When you didn’t answer, he smiled knowingly. “Didn’t think so. Corazon’s a beast, isn’t he?”
Something like that. In your defence, you wanted to argue that it was just because he was bigger. But that was a terrible excuse. Your father had taught you better, and so had Lao G.
“Corazon?” He shifted his attention to his brother.
You braced yourself for a response, weighing up on the risk you had taken in the first place.
But Corazon said nothing. Doffy sighed—relief or something else, you didn’t know. Just like that, Corazon had removed the worst of this outcome.
“Let’s continue this inside.”
That caught your attention. “What?”
“I can feel the tension within you, it’s tighter than the bow on Baby 5’s head. I know just what you need.”
The very idea wasn’t unappealing. If anything, your womb was rejoicing. Arousal and other not so wondrous fluids spooled between your legs even as you followed Doffy back to the castle.
“You too, Cora.”
That surprised both you and Corazon. “What?” you said sharply.
“I said there were better places to fuck, didn’t I?” Doffy looked over his shoulder at you, his smile a full-blown grin.
It dawned on you then what he intended. The provoking grin dared you to contradict him, to confirm otherwise. It dared you to tell the truth. If you told him the truth, that you had sought Corazon out on purpose for a fight, you would have to face the blood law—regardless of whether you hurt Corazon or not. It didn’t matter that you hadn’t used haki in the end. It only mattered that you’d raised your hand to his one and only blood relative.
You looked at Corazon, but for once today, he wasn’t directly looking at you.
“But Doffy!” you protested.
“It’s nice to see you getting along with my brother,” Doffy drawled, ignoring the panic in your voice. “Sharing is caring, they say. I suppose if there was one person I’d share you with, it would be Corazon. And he does look in need of some entertaining.”
You blinked in shock. Every word he spoke registered. But as important as the words that he said were, so were the words unsaid—Doffy only wanted to see you getting along with his brother, that regardless of what you were just doing with Corazon, the unsaid awareness that you both were indeed fighting, all would be forgiven so long as you allowed Doffy to share you with Corazon.

Finally finished this sucker! Actually no. I’m not done at all. I was lying to myself and to you. Sorry!✨
Angsty Freya completely inspired by the story “Familiar” by MillieMay on AO3!
I couldn’t find a good reference for her tattoos towards her chest/shoulder area so I improvised.

it might just be me but tbh I’m not a fan of this trend in the Danny Phantom community where the au only works if Danny is stripped of autonomy. Like the ‘his obsession is protection’ thing. There’s nothing wrong with that and some stories with that concept are well-written but idk I feel like it makes Danny a shallower character automatically.
in canon, he starts heroing because there’s a need to. He opened the gate, ghosts are coming through. The moment where he’s eating lunch under a ghost shield and tells Sam he’s still gonna be a hero even though he’s public enemy number one really struck me when I watched it. It feels important to his character and his whole heroic career that he’s saving people because he has to, because he can and the alternative is doing nothing.
Also I just don’t like the fics where he has to be kidnapped or his whole family is dead or hates him for the plot to progress. Plus it’s like, he goes on vacations in canon, he can leave Amity
#I don’t really care if this is incoherent#I know what I mean#it’s just bothered me for a while and I recently put my finger on why#Danny phantom#there’s so much in canon to expand upon#so for there to be SO many fics and aus and what have you#that simply ignore that?#he’s also a teen boy with clearly bad impulse control when it comes to his friends suggestions#hence him being a ghost in the first place#and they canonically explore the realms full of ghosts who want to fight Danny#there’s plenty of room for character driven plot here is my point. this isn’t about anyone in particular lol

okay so. I've binged almost all of leverage (3 eps left) and now wanna scream and chew cardboard I mean. I mean. hear me out here okay?
first I was like yeah okay sure I'm in a not doing things mood so might as well watch. I don't know any of these ppl except for like a handful of guest stars, but I liked the team's brand of weird and their dynamics basically right from the first ep. and sure the show's a little naive and a lot moralizing (don't like the moralizing), but the banter and the shenanigans and the fact that I suddenly remembered that I like heist movies but somehow haven't watched leverage until now is what kept me clicking on the next ep and the next and the next.
and I mean. this is tumblr ive seen gifsets here and there and I'm aware of the ship (you cannot be on this webbed site and not be aware of the existence of basically every major ship in basically everything, so) - but for the entire 4 and a half seasons I was like yep yep love the dynamic and really love the whole slow progression of rivals to teammates to friends and yeah okay Parker and Hardison dating makes sense but I'm not feral abt it and I still cannot see the threeway ship I mean they're friends and I love that for them and then AND THEN. and then I watched the dc ep. you know the one I mean. with the bomb and the virus and all the intense feelings and and I'm like *Eliot voice* oh come on!!! I did not require any new ships like I'm not much of a fandom person at all these days and yet here we are. facepalms and muffled screams into the pillow.
and I was like where! is more! of that I need more of that!!! after the dc ep and honestly I've watched the next couple eps on autopilot waiting for well not the progression but the same intensity of the dynamic at least but hahaha no said the show. and now it's 8 am and I'm writing this instead of sleeping or diving headfirst into the deep end of the fic pool and I know there's still those three eps left and then the entire renewed show but it's too much and not enough at the same time do you know what I mean
#leverage#I'm honestly afraid to ask if they take the trio relationship anywhere in the new series#like not into canon obviously bc well#it's today's media it's still struggling with your basic queer relationships and a canonic poly one is just not realistic I'm aware but#still like. is there more of that intense energy#bc obviously ten years after the og series finale they're all well aware of the most popular ship right#also like if anyone has read all of my ramblings up to this point then please#I might need fic recs#I prefer plot-driven things and relationship dynamics so if you know some figs like that lmk

#talk tag#fic talk#<- that's a tag right. that's one of my tags. right. right#also for those of u who are curious i prommy i haven't forgotten abt npwd#it's just that by nature it's less of a plot driven fic with a set path and more of smth i write when i get ideas for fun#and i. have not gotten ideas lately </3

Where is the fic going to be for the human doctor(s) au?
probably on my ao3 if it ever gets done! but i'll post the link here too bc im desperate for attention🫡
#dont expect too much out of it lol its gonna be very self indulgent and not at all plot driven#also bc i suck at chaptered fics so if i do several they're just gonna be a collection of oneshots methinks#answered asks#spoop speaks#also i hate to admit this but i still have a ton of dw content to get through (i'm only halfway through 11) sooo#until i reach their respective series 12-15 may be a teensy bit out of character#bc they'll be based on fan content i've seen of them and not the actual source material dkhfdg#but YEAH all this to say. dont expect too much haha#ty for the ask! :D

every day I wish they were still making the short trips books
#personal#i mean.#every day i wish there was more good two-era eu content.#but you know.#the short trips books have such a specific VIBE#they get to be weird and out there but also they get to be low-stakes and character-driven and slice-of-life-y#absolute pinnacle of dr who eu media imo#they just feel kind of. fic-y in a warm way. like they get to explore concepts /for the sake of the concepts/#and because they're short they don't have to get caught up in larger overarching plots#what if jamie met william wallace. what if two took zoe to volunteer at a soup kitchen.#what if two had to brave his own grief and give a multidimensional creature a funeral.#what if jamie was a bear.#(<- i'm legally required to get that one in there every time i talk about short trips)

As you grew closer to scent of food, you turned a corner, and bumped into someone. You stumbled back in surprise.
“Sorry,” you apologised, looking up.
Tattoo under his eye, jester-like mouth. And all those hearts. You stilled, it was the one that Giolla had called Corazon.
He didn’t say anything, and it unsettled you. You weren’t the type to ramble, let alone continuously chatter. The thought had always irritated you. But his silence made you uncomfortable, and you were still new to this place, and surely, even disgusting as they were, those executives, Trebol and Diamante had seemed chatty enough earlier.
“I was just looking for the dinner room. It seems to smell good. Are you heading there too?” you asked.
For some reason, as soon as those words fell from your mouth, you had the distinct feeling that you had said something wrong or your mere existence seemed to offend him.
Because Corazon just glared at you.
In the next breath he had you cornered against the wall, slamming his palm into the wall above your head.
You stiffened because for all your bravery, these people were still pirates. And Corazon was just too close. What had Giolla rattled about earlier? She’d said something like, in spite of his apparent clumsiness, his inability to not set himself on fire, Corazon was skilled at his job.
He stared you down. You were afraid, but you weren’t about to show it. Defiantly, you stared right back, as if waiting for a strike to come.
You expected him to say something. But there was another memory at the back of your mind of something Giolla had said earlier.
Corazon is mute. A tragic accident. And he’s young master’s brother. His blood brother and the newly appointed Nidaime Corazon.
That must have been important to know that Corazon was Doffy’s brother.
But right now you just wanted food, and he wasn’t being very welcoming. At all.
The intensity of his glare pinned you in place. You weren’t sure if it was in your mind or from him, but there was a pressure pushing against you, that plucked at your fear, bringing it to the fore. You felt your limbs shake and your heart beat rapidly in your chest.
And then it was as though he’d said it loudly, as clear as day, his eyes said, Fuck off.
You flinched. Well, that was a first. Neither of the other executives had bothered warning you away other than the initial half hearted one. But this, this was definitely not half hearted. For some reason Corazon was telling you to…fuck off…without even knowing a single thing about you.
How dare he?
You’d come here because you had nothing to lose. You’d come because this was your only way to survive. This was your way to revenge.
So, stubborn as you were, you licked your lips, to moisten the dryness of fear, and said, flatly, “No.”

as a writer how do you stop thinking about like getting kudos/comments? I've just started writing fanfic, and when I start a writing something -- it goes well and then eventually I get to point where I'm like "ahh but what the readers don't like that? or what if I don't get as many kudos or comments" and it makes it difficult to continue because then it becomes stressful -- I guess how do you deal with "wanting to write stuff for yourself" and "wanting validation" thanks!
You're going to hate this answer, because I hated it too, but TIME. When you first start writing and you get kudos and comments and people love what you're doing, it's a huge validation of your effort and talent, and it's natural that you want MORE of it. When I first started putting up fics I already had been writing for 15+ years, knew I was good at it, and still for a good few years found myself really glued to the hit counter, and the kudos, and wondering how I'd be able to get people to comment the same way they did on things like Seven Suitors.
But the thing is that commenting comes and goes in waves, and unless a fandom has a big comment culture, or is large enough that you're guaranteed a good glut of them every time you post...you're going to hit a point where you write exactly what everyone wants and get crickets. And at that point you'll get ANNOYED, because LOOK, I MADE THIS, i made it for YOU GUYS, and now y'all don't have anything to say? It'll get to you. It'll make you doubt that you know what anyone wants at all. It'll happen and it'll suck the whole time.
Lots of advice will say "write for yourself," which is an excellent sentiment. You should always write what YOU want. Put into your fic what you want to see, write the nitpicky poetic metaphors and craft the most screwball twists your heart desires. Pour yourself into the most niche AUs and most tin-hat canon theories. At the end of the day, you want the IDEAS you put down to be for you, because comments and kudos are nice, but if they don't come...you have to be proud of what you put out, even when it feels like an echo chamber.
But also...we don't POST things for ourselves. We post things to share. Fic are a conversation with canon and it is perfectly natural to want to create something that creates conversation among other fans. So you're never going to fully get the need for validation out of your head, you're not. You can hide hit counts and ignore your inbox all you like, but the want to have someone interact with your work, to inspire someone to reach out to you will ALWAYS be there. You just have to create a healthier relationship with it.
Be confident in what you write. Think less about whether people will like it, and more about how you WANT them to react. The reader is the most important character in any novel, but it's the one most authors forget to manage. When you come to a point where you go "oh man, I hope this is good for them!" stop and go, "what do I *want* them to be feeling here?" Focus on where you're putting their attention and whether you WANT it there. There's so much you can do when you visualize your relationship with the reader as PART of the work, and it takes off a lot of the pressure of "is this good? is it disappointing? will this get me validation?" and brings it back into the realm of storytelling. You are taking your reader on a journey, and when you do it well people will think less about "did I like that?" and more about "what comes next?"
#asks#writing advice#writing#please understand nonnie that what you are feeling is completely natural and part of the process#and shades of that will stick with you no matter how good you get#but the thing you want to keep in the center of your mind when it comes to that#is that you can only get kudos once on a fic and you are lucky to get a 1:100 comment vs hits ratio#so the instant validation WILL dry up and you'll have to have something about your story#that makes you push through. because people will come back and comment!#people will blow through 50+ chapter and leave you the most emotionally hungover review promising you their first borns#but sometimes you will have written a good third of them with NO feedback whatsoever#and you just have to trust in yourself that it's good. it's FINE#i used to obsessively check hits and be really put out to see how many people were coming and not commenting#especially when i wrote really emotionally driven stuff and really tore myself up to get those feelings through#but i also would have been miserable only writing fluffy 1 or 2 shots with no plot just to get the flush of comments those fics get#you just gotta do what you gotta do and let your audience find you. recontextualizing the relationship helps a LOT#i already was big on focusing on the meta plot of my works because as i said. 15+ years. had a lot of time to experiment and get good#but i still had to like. give myself the same pep talk 2 years in about how to view that relationship#everyone goes through it and if they say they don't they're a liar and i mean that seriously 🤣

What are some of your personal favorite VLD fanfics?
this took me soooo long to do sorry fam BUT. IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
surviving space with your ex-fiance
ADAM FIC OF ALL TIME. lowkey the fic series that first made me want to think more about adam and how he could potentially fit into the dynamic of the show. also fucking HILARIOUS and also making me cry over adashi on the daily.
renegade dawn
PACIFIC RIM AU !!!! has some minor shallura which i normally wouldn't go for but 1) the fic is absolutely absolutely beautiful and 2) it was written before any of the ages/sexualities became canon so To Me i dont really mind. but UGHH pacific rim aus gotta be one of theeee most aus to ever exist. i fucking love this fic
the last aspect
this is probably one of my favorite fics of ALL time, regardless of media. the worldbuilding????? the angst?????? UGHHH <333 I've read this fic so many times that there are some things where I genuinely don't know if they came from the show or the fic. and some bits of quintenary stars has been inspired by some stuff from this fic because it's literally part of my dna at this point
#these are the only 3 i remember from my old voltron days </3 i changed ao3 accounts and lost all my bookmarks </////3#i do remember LOVING a horror fic where lance had a twin and keith got possessed by a space demon#but the author deleted it and i dont remember the title and i am going to grieve it FOREVER.#but yea ik ur not a Klance Guy and these recs are all klance alas. however the last aspect has enough other relationships#and is more plot driven so maybe you'll like it. idk <3#anyway this is me FORMALLY asking for fic recs because these three are the only ones i have </3#xpegasusuniverse#voltron
