“This is the last time, James,” she warns him, even as she accepts his arms around her waist and raises her head, already searching for his lips.
James chuckles, mouth only brushing hers before sliding the curve of her neck. She smells like peaches. “That is what you said last time,” he notes.
She sighs, a blend of excitement and unhappiness. “I mean it, my—” A moan escapes her lips when he finds that spot she favours under her ear. “My—my father is going to announce my betrothal.”
“Marry me instead,” he suggests without losing a breath.
Her laugh is nervous now. “You know I cannot.”
“I would ask for your hand, very proper,” he says as his hand traces her dress, places her leg around his waist. Another moan. “I will tell him I cannot stop thinking about you.”
She pants, but manages to break away from his kiss this time; her green eyes, that shade of emerald that hasn't left his mind ever since he first contemplated her weeks ago at the other side of the ballroom, are sparkling with a touch of caution.
“We agreed this would stay between us.”
“And I respected it,” he assures her. He hasn’t told a soul about their meetings, not even his friends, but now the weight of the secrecy feels suddenly unbearable.
“This was just for innocent fun.”
He nods again, though with less certainty. Few things they had done had been innocent, and though it had started just for fun, indeed, James doubted it still remained so. There was something about Miss Lily Evans that drew him to her—and she to him, he knows it.
But this is not the moment to convince her of it, not yet.
“I will not do anything that might cause you any harm,” he promises, and he knows she will hear the sincerity in his words.
She does; relief floods her eyes, and then she is kissing him, lips demandingly with the urgency of someone who believes this is their last time indeed. James lets her; no matter what her father’s marriage plans are, he will talk to Mr. Evans, and with her betrothed if needed. James is a good match, after all, and Lily… he can’t lose her. He won’t.
This is the thought that keeps him sane when they depart, and later, when he meets her at the ball and her lips are still swollen; she bows to him, very respectful, refusing to acknowledge him. He watches her as she accepts a few dances, wondering who will be her betrothed, who will hold her hand in public, who will have her kisses in private—
His mood subdues as the night goes on. Lily refuses to look in his direction even when she walks close to him, following her father to the library, and his fingers brush over the skin of her arms; she shivers but doesn’t look back as the door closes behind her.
He is alone by the time she comes back at last, his friends having left him to brood alone; James can’t blame them. He was too miserable to be in good company, and not even Sirius, who looked just as tense that night, was enough to distract him.
Lily’s eyes finally meet his; there is sorrow in her eyes, and once again James knows she doesn’t want to marry whoever she is promised to. A duel, he thinks, I will duel for her—
But Lily turns away from him; her smile is dutiful as she offers her hand to her new fiance. And James can only look as Sirius takes her hand into his and kisses it gently.

This one is a little review, a recap if you will, because I think it's important to sometimes just sit and appreciate your own achievements. It's that time of the year when something's ending and something's beginning. I think the best way to start a new year is to look back a little, so... let's do it!
Inspiration for this post came from this post by @vagabond-umlaut - it's a self-appreciation post. I really love the idea of sharing the favorite pieces I wrote with you and I indulge everyone interested to do a little recap of your work yourself so see how far you've come! 🩷
Tumblr media
Let's begin with a little summary, shall we?
▷ I joined tumblr around 10 years ago, but it's that year, 2023, when I posted my first work in here. Before I was just a reader. Can you believe it? Ten years I didn't post a single thing in here!
▷ I published my first fic on 31st april. It was short and filthy, can you guess what is it? You cryin', with our beloved Satoru Gojo. Fun fact is, that up until that day it's still my most liked piece. So many of you loved it, so many saved and interacted. It was a blast to know that my writing is enjoyed. Without your love towards it, I'm not sure if I would be posting still. It really encouraged me to share more.
▷ Since my first post, I published 49 pieces. I created 2 series (Politically Loveless, starring Tobirama Senju & Deadly Attraction, starring Sukuna Ryomen) and wrote for two anime series (JJK + Naruto)
▷ Just in these few months I hosted two events - the filthy Kinktober and the sweet Kissmas
▷ That year I mostly explored the angsty territory, I wrote some smut and fluffs as well. I wrote short and long, sweet and sad. I learned so much while writing, I'm not a native english speaker and through creating the pieces, I taught myself so many new language bits.
Tumblr media
Now, let's get to my favorites!
🩵 You cryin'? — starring Satoru Gojo (smut)
This one will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was short and straight to the point, purely inspired by the amazing JJK dub and the iconic line that melted the entire me. It's smut, nothing else, little to no plot, and yet I just love it.
🩵 Lost cause — starring Satoru Gojo & Suguru Geto (heavy angst)
It was a request by one of you, my readers. An exploration of an alternative universe where Suguru doesn't go the death path and instead, the way is chosen by their close friend. It follows the manga plot and I touched the topic of dea*h in here. An emotional rollercoaster that I really loved writing and you all seemed to like it too. A second part to it might come someday.
🩵 Catoru — starring Satoru Gojo & Suguru Geto (fluff)
Pure fluff. Testing of waters, if you will. It gently introduced you all to the universe that I'm creating in my head for a long time. I'm really weak for SatoSugu, what can I say?
🩵 Say my name — starring Satoru Gojo (smut)
This one... damn, I wrote it and still I read it myself few times. I just like this piece so much, I like how it flows, I love the way plot goes over the doubt and fear, leading into the outburst of lust and desire. This piece opened the first event I ever hosted, a kinktober 2023 and I don't think I'll ever get over this Gojo.
🩵 Strangers — starring Suguru Geto (angst)
Inspired by the song I was really into at the time. I like the flow of it and the heavy atmosphere of something precious burning out in front of the reader's eyes.
🩵 Face massage — starring Sukuna Ryomen (fluff)
I love fluffy Sukuna. I really do. It's one of my favorite things to write and I have a characterisation of him in my head that I really love to show you all. You seem to like it! I have a request in my ask-box to create a part two to this one and it's in wips for so long now. I might need to finish it.
🩵 Not yet — starring Sukuna Ryomen (smut)
This one! I explored the mafia boss Sukuna through this piece, yet again inspired by the amazing line he said. Mada... mada mada~ the menace! And you guys loved it so, so much. So much, in fact, that it turned out into a series >> Deadly attraction and I'll be forever grateful because it shows that you really enjoy my babbling.
🩵 I don't need a mistletoe to kiss you — starring Sukuna Ryomen (suggestive fluff)
A fluffy Sukuna yet again. What can I say? I love putting him in awkward situations. Kissmas entry.
🩵 Breathe through your nose — starring Choso Kamo (smut)
The introduction of Choso into my blog. My emo boy, my depressed pookie... This was a part of kinktober 2023 as well.
🩵 Thank you, mom — starring Megumi Fushiguro (fluff)
It's self-indulgent, really. I just love the thought of giving this boy parents.
🩵 Wine stains — starring Nanami Kento (angst + smut)
It's angsty, just how I like it. And it revolves around Nanami. That's enough for me to love this piece.
That's it!
These are my favorite works from this year and I'm looking forward to see if I make it till the end of the next one!
Now, a little fun fact! There is a little fight between two of my fics that I find funny, considering what a happened in the jjk manga this year.
You cryin' vs Not yet. Satoru vs. Sukuna. Ever since I began posting, Satoru's little fic was my most liked, most reblogged, most loved piece and now, Sukuna is that close from beating the numbers! I watch it with my breath hitching, the emotions are real!
Tumblr media
Some of my favorite people in here:
▷ During these few months of my writing, I got few mutuals. I really, really love their creations and turned out, they like mine too, so I'm especially thankful to @chuluoyi, @ponderingmoonlight, @staryukis & @poe-daydreams
▷ Through tumblr I also discovered so many talented people! @gojos-thot-patrol - an amazing writer of smutty materials, perfect usage of musical knowledge in writing, @tender-rosiey - an absolute queen of fluffs, @osaemu - such a great humor and an amazing writing style (the serial killer Gojo? oof), @awearywritersworld - the Men are so quick to blame the gods series with Sukuna... damn, I've read it three times already - here we have an amazing usage of literature!, mentioned before @chuluoyi - the Married on purpose fic lives in my head rent free
▷ and artists! @3-aem (the most gorgeous Satoru that ever existed), @wacuoms (the beauty and the aesthetics of it is just otherworldly), @lightningstrikes-art (the jjk cubs!) @ipostmysimpingstuffanonymously (the SatoSho arts that make me feel things), @innaillus (the ceo of making me cry and not from my eyes), @polariae (also... screaming), @diosaurr (Geto in this artstyle is my beloved babygirl), @to00fu (just love it. SatoSugu arts, the female versions... awww) and @blackwhitefeatherart (damn, the art style... chef's kiss)
Tumblr media
And lastly... to anyone who supported my fics, who read it and left a heart, reblogged or commented - thank you so, so, so much. To anyone who sent me a message through ask box, to anyone who left any kind of mark behind themselves on my blog. More than 2000 people joined me in here, thank you to every single one of you. I'm forever grateful and I really hope you will enjoy the time with me for the future 🖤🥰

chapter one — punishment
➝ request:  I would really like to read again a jealous Toto for the reader.
➝ word count: 7,2k
➝ warnings: smut
➝ author’s note: this one-shot took unnecessarily long time in my head as well as my drafts. unfortunately, i don't know how to write a porn without a plot, so let's just say i got too carried away. moreover, with a beautiful inspiration that was those two laps at spa-francorchamps, i couldn't leave this request aside.
You stared at the dark sky over Stavelot in silence as your fingers clenched the blue and red foam of the Sky Sports microphone in your hands.
The memory of one particular Sunday was vivid in your mind.
The wind.
The cold.
The rain.
— Y/N — you heard, behind you. Turning around, you found Jules, your producer, smiling.
— Yes? — you answered.
— They cleared the track for us. Shall we record the first segment?
You looked down the pitlane, where three cars were parked side by side. There was a crowd of onlookers, photographers, and cameras around them. On the left was the Mercedes-AMG ONE, with Lewis Hamilton leaning against the bodywork, talking to Bradley, Mercedes' communications director. In the middle was the GT3 EDITION 55”, which was currently being photographed by Steve, the team photographer. On the right was the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, the famous Rote Sau. Behind the wheel, talking to George Russell, there he was.
Toto Wolff.
You knew of the team principal's reputation long before you even thought about the possibility of stepping into the paddock. When you were still working in the Sky Sports newsroom in London, you were always amused by the behind-the-scenes motorsport gossip from your colleagues who worked at the races. The words 'beautiful', 'charming' and 'charismatic' never failed to appear in their accounts of interactions with Toto. However, it never crossed your mind that you would someday witness his charm and good looks firsthand. 
The first time you stepped into a race paddock was to replace Georgina, one of the producers who worked with Ted Kravitz, producing content for the channel's website, who had contracted Covid-19 at the British Grand Prix. After some exceptional work on the two weekends you covered for your colleague, you were sent more frequently to produce on-location, helping to create stories that had a resounding impact. It didn't take long for you to reach the higher echelons of sports reporting, crafting more interesting stories and producing more daring reports.
However, your big break came when you found out that Lewis Hamilton would not race at the Sakhir Grand Prix after testing positive for Covid-19. With Ted stuck in a meeting, there was no one who could break the news live during the F1 Report. So, using all your courage — and steely nerve — you stood in front of a camera for the first time and gave the world first-hand information about the medical status of the seven-time world champion.
The following year, you were promoted to the role of being an on-camera personality, occasionally doing pit lane walks and media pen interviews. It was during one of these interviews, after qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix, that you had your first interview with a certain team principal.
— Hello, Toto, how are you?
— Fine — he replied, smiling. “They weren’t kidding, he does have a nice smile.”, you thought — And you?
— I’m fine as well. I would like to get your impressions of today’s qualifying session, especially considering the pace shown by Max Verstappen today.
— Well, we're very excited to have a real fight on our hands. Six teams in the top ten today and it's clear that simply being good won't be enough this year. But in this final year of the current set of regulations, we have to push the needle even further, not only to beat Red Bull, but also some of the other teams.
— Lewis and Valtteri were both unsatisfied with the reliability of the W12 during pre-season testing. Today, the car proved to be more reliable, but it still doesn't seem to be quite at the pace you’d like it to be.
— It’s true that conditions weren't favorable for us today, but we're definitely closer here than we were during the three days of pre-season testing. However, I can't say exactly what our position is in relation to Red Bull yet.
You smiled, satisfied with his answers.
— Right, Toto. Thank you very much for your insight.
He nodded, preparing to go to the next set of microphones. However, the team principal stopped, standing in front of you for a few seconds in the middle of the media pool before coming back to you.
— You're new around here, aren't you? — he asked, raising an eyebrow.
— I’m not new at Sky, no. I've been here since 2018.
— But, here, in the paddock, how long have you been here?
— Since last year.
— As a reporter?
— No. I was a producer. I started as an on-camera reporter this year.
Toto smiled.
— I understand now.
— Understand what?
— Why I don’t remember you.
— Well, with so many other media people around the paddock, it's pretty easy for us to blend in.
— Blend in? Not for someone as pretty as you are. — he replied with a mischievous smile before moving on to the next journalist who was waiting for him.
“And… He’s definitely charming”, you thought, trying to ignore the way your face was heating up, as well as the laughter from Daniel, your cameraman.
As the months passed, his compliments became more frequent. The looks you shared lingered more. His touches were no longer incidental. The tension between the two of you was palpable every time you crossed paths, whether in the paddock, the media pool, or the press conference room.
It was like a glass of water, filling drop by drop. 
— We're going to do the introduction, and after they've done the laps, you're going to talk to the three of them, okay? — Jules said to you as you walked towards the three cars in the pitlane.
— Right — you confirmed. You stopped at a point just to the right of the track, so that Daniel could capture all three cars in the same frame in a diagonal shot.
— Do you think it's better to keep still or move for these introduction shots?
— Moving. It’s more dynamic.
— Okay — you smiled — Let's go.
You grabbed your cell phone and quickly reviewed the talking points for your segment. “Talk about where we are, the reason, the cars, and the drivers”, you thought, reading the email sent by the Mercedes’ press office.
— Ready? — Daniel asked.
You hesitated, taking a moment to fix your hair and smooth your hands over your skirt one last time.
— Yes — you smiled.
With a thumbs up, the cameraman signaled you to begin.
— We are here at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, celebrating the 55th anniversary of AMG. To celebrate in style, AMG has put together four great cars, as well as four… Or, rather, three, great drivers.
Behind the camera, Jules laughed at your phrasing.
— Now, Toto will be behind the wheel of this legendary 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, better known as the Red Pig. Lewis will be behind the wheel of this spectacular Mercedes-AMG ONE and George will drive the new GT3 EDITION 55, which you can see in the middle there. We also have Formula 1 Safety Car driver Bernd Mayländer who will be driving the AMG safety car, which is a modified AMG GT Black series. Let's take a look — you added, smiling.
A few seconds later, Daniel looked up at you
— Perfect, Y/N.
— Want to try a second time?
— Do we have time, Jules? — the cameraman asked.
You saw your producer wave to Bradley, who was still standing next to Lewis, pointing to his wrist, in a way of asking how much time they had there before the cars took to the track. The communications director held up two fingers, to which Jules simply responded with a raised thumb.
— No, we don't. Daniel, can you take some more filler footage?
— No problem — the cameraman replied, repositioning his device on his shoulder and heading toward the cars parked behind you. Meanwhile, Jules approached you, putting a hand on your shoulder.
— Shall we go to the pit lane?
You nodded, following your producer to the pit area.  It was starting to become busy due to preparations for the next day, when the first free practice sessions would take place at the circuit. Leaning back against the wall, you were making a concentrated effort not to look for those familiar brown eyes in the midst of the crowd of people, so you looked up, staring at the dark clouds over the circuit.
— You think it will rain? — you asked quietly, placing the microphone on top of the concrete.
Jules looked up.
— I saw that there was a good chance of rain for this weekend.
You pursed your lips.
— That’s shit — you muttered.
— I hope you brought your raincoat this time — the producer said, nudging you with his elbow.
— I did — you said with a smirk, your memory taking you back to the year before. 
It was a rainy Sunday on the same circuit, and it was the day that the metaphorical glass, filling drop by drop as you and Toto flirted and teased each other, spilled over.
You had always prided yourself on being a woman who was always prepared for any eventuality. However, on the wettest weekend of the season, on a trip to the racetrack in the Ardennes forest, an area famously prone to heavy rainstorms, you'd somehow managed the feat of forgetting your raincoat in London. 
“Dumb bitch”, you thought, after you left the third official merchandise tent without finding a way to protect yourself from the storm that fell on Stavelot.
Accepting the consequences, you decided to keep working, ignoring the weather-related adversities. However, with you running up and down the paddock so much during the red flag period, with only your normal jacket to protect you from the elements, it wasn’t long before you ended up completely soaked.
At one point in the afternoon, after yet another aborted race start, you were walking back to the media center when you felt your cell phone vibrate in your coat pocket. You sought shelter to check your messages and hadn't even noticed which tent you’d stepped under until you heard a familiar male voice behind you.
— You're soaking wet.
Turning around, you saw Toto's familiar smile. The team principal was seated at one of the hospitality tables. The hospitality area was otherwise completely empty.
— I didn't bring my raincoat.
— Bad weekend to leave it at home, huh?
You nodded, chuckling before looking back at your cell phone, trying to ignore the butterflies in your stomach. You were trying to type a reply to Billy, Sky’s Formula 1 director, but your fingers didn't seem to want to respond.
— Are you cold? — Toto questioned you.
The question made you notice the chill building up in your body that you’d been ignoring until just then.
— No.
— I can see from here that you’re shivering, Y/N.
— It's nothing — you replied, trying to mask the tremor in your voice.
Toto got up from the table and approached you. He took your hands in his, the iciness of your cold, wet hands a stark contrast to the warmth of his.
— You're freezing — the team principal stated, rubbing your hands lightly, trying to impart some of his warmth.
— Seriously, it's okay — you said softly, trying to ignore the sudden wave of heat that coursed through your body, pushing away the chill you were feeling.
— No, no, you're going to get sick like this — Toto said, a worried look in his brown eyes.
— Toto, I'm fine, it's just water. I’m not going to melt.
He shook his head. He didn’t let go of your hand and took you, without a word, into the Mercedes motorhome. He led you up the spiral stairs, through the hallways, and to a frosted glass door. He opened it to reveal a small, simple office with a neat desk made of pale wood and a black office chair.
— I'll go get you a towel, don’t go anywhere — Toto said, disappearing down the hall.
Alone inside the small office, you looked at the shelves on the wall, decorated with potted plants, awards and picture frames with images of Toto at team celebrations, accompanied by his drivers. However, the photo that caught your attention the most was a photo of him with Niki Lauda. You smiled looking at it.
— Here you are — you heard him behind you. Turning around, you found the team principal holding out a rolled-up black towel to you. Taking the terry cloth in your hands, you unfurled it, noticing a logo embroidered in white thread. The logo was a pair of stylized wings that formed a shape that looked like the face of a lion.
— Is this Lewis’ towel? — you asked.
— Yes. I took it from his room.
— You don’t think he’ll get upset?
— I’m sure he won’t — Toto replied, giving you a wink. You felt your face heat up.
— I really hope so — you muttered, as you opened your wet coat.
Smiling, the team principal stepped behind you, helping you peel the soaked jacket from your body. Underneath, you wore a thin blouse that was also wet. The fabric was transparent now, and clinging to your curves. You were embarrassed as you hurried to dry yourself off, running the towel down your arms.
However, the damage was already done.
Looking up, you noticed that Toto was watching you carefully, taking in every detail that the wet shirt showed, his lips pressed together. In his brown eyes, you could see only one thing.
Desire.
— Well — you said, wrapping the towel around your shoulders — I just have to thank you for your kindness.
He blinked, as if he'd come out of a trance.
— It was no problem, Y/N. Really.
— Yes, but I appreciate it anyway. You didn't have to.
— Yes, I did. One of the best journalists in the paddock can't walk around soaking wet and risk catching pneumonia.
You felt like you could melt on the spot.
— I don't know how to repay you — you stammered.
— But I do — Toto smiled, taking a step forward.
In your chest, your heart was pounding.
— Do you want a kiss? — you asked, without hesitation.
Toto's eyes widened.
— Well — he began to stutter, his face red — I had something else in mind… I don't know, maybe a feature story about the team… Or even about me.
— Toto, I've watched enough romantic comedies to know what happens when a man and a woman are alone in a room for the first time after months of flirting and staring at each other.
— What’s that?
— They kiss. And then they have sex.
— And what do you want?
— With you? Both.
You couldn’t say anything else before Toto advanced on you, his lips on yours, releasing the tension of nearly six months of the game the two of you were playing with each other. You knew you wouldn't be leaving that office until he was fully sated, which was almost an hour later, after you'd had three orgasms on top of his desk, your moans echoing off the office walls.
You’d had many more since that day.
The sound of engines brought your focus back to the cars in front of you. With the track cleared, the two Mercedes drivers and team principal were already seated inside the vehicles for their exhibition lap, waiting for authorization to accelerate through the circuit. 
Soon enough, green lights lit up on the electronic panel, and the three of them shot down the main straight with the safety car behind, dozens of people in the stands and pit lane watching.
After two laps around the circuit, the four cars entered the pit area in a row, stopping in front of the Mercedes’ garage. It wasn't long before mechanics, photographers, cameramen and onlookers crowded around the vehicles, pointing and chatting about the cars.
— Shall we, Y/N? — Jules turned to you.
Picking up your mic again, you smiled.
— Yes, let’s go.
The two of you crossed the pit lane towards the point where the cars were gathered. The drivers were already outside the vehicles, their helmets abandoned on the seats, talking to each other about the laps, teasing and joking with each other. After hearing Toto's laugh after a comment from George, an involuntary smile appeared on your lips. It was your favorite sound.
— What are you smiling at? — Jules asked you, one eyebrow raised.
You blinked. The producer didn't know about your affair with Toto. Nobody did. It was a deal made by both of you, not just to protect each other’s privacy, but also to avoid any issues of you violating journalistic ethics. “You can’t sacrifice your career because of me”, you heard Toto say in your head.
— I was thinking of a question to ask Toto.
Jules looked around for the team principal.
— Then you'd better take advantage of the fact that he's free now and go ask him — he said, tilting his head in the Austrian's direction.
You saw Toto again and noticed that he was leaning against the red bodywork of the 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, his arms crossed and his gaze fixed to the ground. Before you even realized it, your feet were pulling you towards him, like a metal piece drawn to a magnet. Stopping beside him, you hesitated for a few seconds.
— Did you have fun? — you said.
— Who's asking? — he smiled, looking at the microphone in your hand.
— Toto…
— I need to know, so I know how to answer. Is it the journalist asking me, or the woman?
You leaned back against the red metal beside him.
— Both — you replied, the shadow of a smile on your lips.
— Well, to the journalist, I will say that I was looking forward to driving this car and that it was a lot of fun.
— And to the woman?
Toto brought his face close to your ear.
— I had more fun last night with you.
You looked at him, violent heat rising in your face. Noticing your flushed cheeks, Toto just smirked.
— I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that — you mumbled.
— Your face says otherwise, but that's okay.
You were silent, wondering what to say. “Didn't you have a question for him?”, you asked yourself, fiddling with the microphone awkwardly. When you were around him, it was as if your mind just went completely blank, leaving only room for the desire you felt for him.
— Do you want to record a segment with me? — Toto said, breaking the silence. Lifting your face to him, you smiled.
— Yes. We're doing a feature about AMG's anniversary and today's activities.
— What do you want me to talk about?
— I'll ask about the company and how it feels to be on the track. Nothing too difficult for you.
— Fine by me — he smiled, rising from the hood of the car. Signaling Daniel to come closer, you momentarily closed your eyes, mentally reviewing your questions for Toto. When you opened them again, you noticed he was watching you carefully, the corner of his mouth quirked into a smile.
— Can we start? — you asked him.
— Anytime, Y/N — Toto replied. Smiling, you lifted the microphone and nodded for Daniel to start recording.
— Well, Toto, what does it mean to celebrate AMG's 55th anniversary?
— AMG is synonymous with racing and high performance. For 55 years they've been at the forefront of pushing what's possible on four wheels, both on the track and on the road. And celebrating this history here, driving a car as special as the Red Pig, an icon in motorsport history, is very special.
— And what was it like to take those two laps here in Spa?
— Race drivers simply have the best job in the world. I don't spend a lot of days on the track, but even with this car, doing two laps at Spa reminds me how amazing that is — he concluded, smiling.
— Okay, thank you, Toto — you said, signaling Daniel to stop recording. When the cameraman lowered the camera, the team principal smiled back at you, leaning in closely.
— At your service, moja maleńka — he whispered, making your face heat up again at his nickname for you.The first time Toto had referred to you with those two words, you had no idea that they were even words at first. 
To you, it sounded like a sneeze.
— Bless you — you said, rolling over in bed to face him.
— What?
— Didn't you sneeze?
Toto laughed.
— No, I didn't sneeze.
You blinked, confused.
— So what was that?
— What was what?
— You whispered something.
He smiled.
— Yes — Toto said, running a hand through your hair, brushing strands out of your face — I said… Moja maleńka.
— Is that German? — you asked, raising an eyebrow.
— No. Polish.
— Do you speak Polish?
— Yes. My mother is Polish.
You were silent for a few seconds.
— Aren't you going to ask what it means?
— Should I?
— I think you would find it interesting.
— And what do words that sound like a sneeze mean?
— They mean… My little one.
Heat rose in your cheeks.
You've never been called that, not even by your parents.
“He's definitely charismatic”, you thought, a smile on your lips.
— Y/N, George is free now. Should we interview him? — you heard Daniel say in your ear. Taking one last look at Toto, you smiled at your cameraman, following him towards the point where the Brit was talking to your producer.
— Good afternoon, George, how are you?
— Good, and you?
— I’m fine as well — you replied — Shall we talk about your laps with the GT3 EDITION 55?
The Brit's blue eyes lit up.
— Let's do it! — he said, smiling.
Interviewing George was never difficult. The driver, in addition to being polite and intelligent, knew how to answer with confidence, without forgetting to put a pinch of British humor in his statements. Whenever you needed soundbytes, you knew you could count on him.
However, even his charm and good press presence didn't make George your favorite driver to interview
— Lewis is free now — Jules said, jerking his thumb at the man behind him.
Talking to Lewis Hamilton was a special thrill for you. If your passion for motorsport was born from watching Damon Hill lead Williams to glory, it was with the Stevenage driver that it came to full bloom. Watching him race as just a spectator was incredible, but watching him up close as a professional was a privilege that would never feel real to you.
— Good afternoon, Lewis — you approached him, greeting him with a hug — How are you?
— Much better now — he smiled — It's wonderful to drive a good car once in a while.
You chuckle, feeling awkward. That season was cruel. Not just to Mercedes, but to the British driver especially. After having his eighth title snatched from his hands at the last second, he went on to deal with a brand new and terribly temperamental car, the result of a new build regulations that Mercedes missed the mark on.
But with the new spending cap rules, there was nothing they could do to salvage the season other than discuss how incomprehensible and temperamental the W13 was. It was something Toto made a point of doing every race weekend that you spent with him, as he twirled a lock of your hair around his index finger or traced the features of your face with his finger.
— I can imagine how fun it was. Can we talk about it?
— Of course — Lewis replied, putting his hands on his hips.
Signaling Daniel to stand, you quickly fixed your hair, as well as running your hand quickly over your dress, trying to smooth any creases.
— You look great, Y/N — the Brit commented, a shy smile on his lips.
Looking up at him, you smiled.
— Thank you, Lewis.
Turning to face your cameraman, you waited for his signal to start, which came seconds later, with a nod.
— So, Lewis, tell us, what was it like driving the Mercedes-AMG ONE here in Spa?
— Celebrating the 55th anniversary of AMG here in Spa is something incredible, as we are talking about an iconic brand in the world of motorsport. But to do that while driving a car like this is very special to me. We work hard all year and we don't always have time to enjoy moments like this, so it's a really fantastic thing.
— We can see how excited you and George were, even competing at one point.
— Yeah, things got hot on the track — Lewis laughed.
— Toto was pushing you too, I don't know if you could see it, but we saw it here.
— Yes, I saw. He's a real racer, like me and George, and you can see his passion for it, even though he's cut some of the curves, from what I noticed in the rearview mirror.
You couldn't help but laugh. You knew that Toto had experience in rallying, endurance racing, and racing GT cars. However, you also knew that he wasn’t able to achieve success, which explained why he turned to business.
— I haven't seen the footage yet to say — you said, trying to catch your breath.
— I bet you'll enjoy the damage he did to the grass at Turn 11.
— I'm looking forward to seeing the track remodeling work — you smiled, waving your hand for Daniel to stop recording. After receiving confirmation that the cameraman had finished the job, you continued talking to Lewis for a few more minutes, listening to his impressions of the car he had just driven, as well as more harsh words about the W13. According to him, the team couldn’t nail down the tuning or set-up for a lot of tracks.
Distracted by Lewis' monologue about the car, you didn’t as someone approached behind you both. He touched your shoulder and you can't help but be a little startled by the sudden intrusion. Turning around, you found Toto with a serious expression.
— Y/N, can I talk to you?
You blinked.
— Yes, about what?
— Privately — Toto said in a low voice. His face was completely unreadable.
Those two words made a chill build up in your belly. Looking around, you noticed Jules talking to Daniel and Steve. “They won't even notice I'm gone”, you thought, before flashing a smile to the team principal.
— Okay, let's go — you replied — See you, Lewis.
The driver nodded at you with a smile. Looking back at Toto, you saw him gesturing for you to go ahead of him into the Mercedes pit area, a quick shortcut to access their hospitality, which was just behind the entrance to the team's garage. Heading towards the access to the paddock, you waved at an engineer before turning down the hall, past the wall where the headphones were kept. One of the hooks had a red hat hanging on it. How many stories have you heard about the owner of that red hat?
Walking silently down the hall, you had just passed the door of the Petronas fluid analysis lab when you felt a hand close around your arm, pulling you back. Guiding you with little delicacy, Toto moved you into the small lab that was inside Mercedes garage, releasing you only to slide the opaque glass door closed, locking the two of you inside.
— What are you doing? — you asked in a whisper.
Toto remained silent, staring at you with those chocolate-colored eyes, until he began to approach you, slowly. Almost instinctively, you started taking steps back, trying to keep the distance between the two of you. You were succeeding until you felt your back hit the wall.
“Fuck,” you thought, watching the team principal get closer and closer to you, the shadow of a smile on his lips as he stopped in front of you, his face inches from yours.
— Y/N — he whispered, placing his hands on your waist.
— Yes? — you replied softly, lifting your face to look him in the eyes.
Silence.
“What did I do?” you asked yourself.
Suddenly, in one swift movement, you found yourself with your back to Toto, your cheek against the wall. You felt his hot breath against your ear.
— What was going through your head out there?
You swallowed hard.
— What are you talking about?
His hands went down your side, caressing you.
— Your conversation with Lewis. What were you thinking?
— I… I was just… Doing… My job — you tried to sound confident, without any success.
— Your job is to interview drivers. Not to flirt with them — he said in a low voice.
— I… Wasn’t flirting… With anyone — you gasped, your apprehension turning into curiosity. You had never seen this rough, possessive side of him before, and you couldn’t deny that you were a little turned on.
— That's not what it looked like to me — Toto growled. His fingers were already on your hips, skimming the fabric of your dress in search of your panties. “If only I had put any on”, you thought, pursing your lips. Seconds later, you felt him press his body even more firmly against yours.
— Are you not wearing any panties, maleńka? — he asked in a low voice, his lips against your ear. His breath against your skin sent a shiver through your body, your pussy getting wet. Swallowing hard, you made an affirmative sound, the words stuck in your throat.
However, it wasn't enough for Toto.
With a not-so-gentle tug, he pulled your dress up, exposing your bare ass. Toto's hand roamed over your delicate skin, as if he was confirming what he'd already felt through the fabric. Suddenly, the sound of a slap filled the small lab space, accompanied by the gasp of surprise that escaped your lips. The sensation was not unfamiliar to you, as one of the first things Toto had done when he laid you on his desk that rainy Sunday was asking to slap your ass as punishment for months of teasing.
And you found, to your surprise, that you liked it.
— Can you answer me? — Toto whispered, his fingers ghosting over the spot where his hand had landed violently against your bottom.
— Yes — you stuttered, your voice shaky — I'm not wearing any panties.
— Why, maleńka?
You blinked. The reason you'd gone without underwear had been solely because of the unsightly panty lines that were visible in the dress you were wearing, which fit snugly against your body. However, seeing Toto's reaction, you couldn't help but wonder what he would have done if you’d gone without for any other reason. And with the opportunity to find out on the tip of your tongue, you decided not to waste it.
— Because I didn’t want to wear any — you replied, your voice firm and challenging.
Another slap, this time on the opposite side of the first.
This time, the sound that left your lips was nothing like a gasp. It was a moan of pleasure.
— Do you like it? — Toto's hand went back to massaging your butt, which was probably starting to turn red from the impact of his fingers against your buttock.
You muttered something that sounded like yes, nodding. It wasn't enough for Toto. In a split second, you felt his free hand go to your jaw, tilting your face back. Your gaze met his, his brown eyes tinged with a darkness you knew well.
— Words. I want to hear you.
The tone of his voice sent a wave of arousal through your body, your core pulsing. The hand that was on your face slid down, wrapping around your neck in a gentle grip, but enough so that the sensation went straight to your pussy, the wetness building more and more.
— Yes, I like it — your voice was barely audible.
— You're a bad girl, Y/N.
— Then… You should punish me — you replied, a teasing tone in your voice.
One more slap. One more groan.
You had never felt as aroused as you did at that moment.
— You talk too much for such a bad girl — he muttered, his hand caressing your aching skin.
— And you act too little for someone who wants to discipline me.
Another slap. Another moan.
However, this time, Toto didn't massage your ass as affectionately as you'd expected him to. You felt the team principal release your neck and bring both hands to your waist, turning your body so that you were facing him. There was nothing gentle about his movements now.
— So, you want to be punished? — Toto asked, leaning his forehead against yours.
— Yes, I do — you replied, whispering.
Smiling, he took your lips in a fierce kiss, his tongue unceremoniously invading your mouth. As one hand caressed the back of your head, guiding it subtly, the other moved down your spine, pulling your body against his, the fabric of his black race suit rubbing against your exposed skin.
You were so immersed in that kiss that you hardly noticed when Toto pushed you away from the wall, leading you through the cramped room to one of the lab benches, where Petronas engineers performed tests during the sessions. Pulling his face away from yours momentarily, the team principal's hands wrapped around your waist, boosting you up and placing you on the white countertop, your legs spread wide enough for him to position himself between them. With the bottom of your dress still rucked up around your hips, you were completely exposed to him. Something told you that was exactly how he wanted you.
Toto didn't need to say a word to tell you what the next step was. Bringing your fingers to the collar of the black and red jumpsuit, you opened it, revealing the zipper, pulling it down desperately, clumsily. Biting your bottom lip, with one quick movement, you peeled the overalls from his shoulders, allowing Toto to pull his arms through the sleeves, leaving only the white fireproof undershirt he was wearing. With his hands free, he lowered the overalls even lower, exposing his fireproof underwear, the outline of his erection evident beneath the thin fabric.
Looking up at you, Toto gave you a devilish grin before pulling the last layer down, exposing his cock. The sight sent a wave of arousal through your skin that felt like an electric shock. He knew the power he had over you and your body, and he was eager to use it.
— Do you like what you see? — the team principal whispered, while his fingers wrapped around his own dick, pumping slowly.
— Yes — you said, your voice shaky.
— Do you want this? — he asked you. The light glistened on the pre-cum spread along his length — Do you want my cock, maleńka?
— Yes — you replied, pleadingly. You could feel anticipation building up in your core to the point where it was almost painful. You needed it the same way you needed air to breathe. However, Toto wasn’t making any effort to approach you, to enter you, to make you moan his name with your nails digging into his shoulders.
Instead, he remained standing in front of you, one hand stroking his cock and the other squeezing one of your thighs, keeping your legs spread and still, your pussy completely exposed to him, wetness almost oozing out of you.
In the fog of your desire, you finally realized his intentions.
Denial. This was your punishment.
— Toto…
— What do you want, maleńka? — he asked softly, his thumb circling the head of his cock — Tell me what you want.
— You…
Toto looked at you with a devilish expression.
— But, you have me. I’m right here.
— I want you inside me, fucking me like the bad girl I am.
— After what you did today, do you think you deserve my dick?
— I was working, Toto — you whimpered, almost like a child who didn’t get any dessert — I just want you. I only think about you. There is only you.
— Do you only want me? — he moved toward you now.
— Yes, yes, yes — you gasped, your muscles tensing in anticipation.
With a smile on his lips, Toto moved even closer, positioning his cock at your entrance. His lips found your jaw, placing gentle kisses going up towards your ear. You felt a shiver of anticipation run through your body. “Finally, finally, finally,” you mentally repeated, your fingers finding the back of his neck, playing with his dark hair.
But instead of the pleasure you were desperate for, you felt his tip brush against your clit, your sensitivity making you nearly sob at his subtle movements. The sound made Toto smile against your skin.
— You look so pretty like this — he murmured, nibbling at a spot below your earlobe — Completely desperate for me.
His cock continued to brush through your folds, pressing lightly against your hole. You could feel the tears of agony building up in your eyes.
— Please, please, please — you moaned, squirming at the subtle touch.
— I'll give you what you want — Toto whispered — But you have to ask for it.
— Please, I want to feel you inside me — you gasped — I need to feel you. Please please. Let me feel you.
— Fine — he said.
Slowly, you felt Toto sliding inside you with no resistance. You were beyond soaked and ready for him. However, instead of penetrating you completely, he sank just the head of his cock in and retreated almost immediately. You searched his face and found a mischievous smile.
— Toto — you stammered.
He laughed.
— You asked me to feel my cock inside you. You felt it.
Something between an incredulous laugh and an agonized groan left your lips.
“Son of a bitch”, you thought.
— You're ridiculous, Wolff — you managed to say.
— And you're not being clear about what you want.
You rolled your eyes. However, instead of slapping you again for your insolence, Toto just leaned his forehead against yours, his brown eyes glued to yours.
— Tell me what you want — Toto whispered, brushing his nose against yours — And you'll have it.
You blinked, your breath caught in your throat.
— Fuck me. Just fuck me. Please.
He smiled. Not in a mischievous or provocative way, but sincerely.
Toto had finally heard what he wanted to hear.
Positioning yourself again at your entrance, you turned your head to the side, muscles tensing. However, holding your chin, he made you look at him again.
— I'm going to fuck you like you want. But… You will have to be quiet.
A nod of your head was the signal for Toto to penetrate you immediately. Stifling a cry at the sudden sensation of him inside of you, you felt pain and pleasure mingling in your belly.
It was everything you wanted.
It didn't take long for Toto to set a delicious rhythm, causing you to dig your nails into the muscles of his shoulders beneath the fireproof shirt. You strained to keep your mouth shut, trying not to make a sound, just as he had asked. However, when he found the right spot inside you, you couldn't resist emitting low grunts and moans.
— Yes, yes, yes — you muttered, as Toto attacked your neck, biting your skin with little delicacy. There would probably be marks. There would certainly be marks. But, you couldn't care less right now. This moment was worth every extra minute you'd have to spend hiding the evidence of your affair with him.
Focused on the sensation building in your abdomen, you received a new rush of pleasure as Toto's hand left your thigh and snaked between your legs. Finding your clit, his fingers began to draw quick, indelicate circles, making you expend a Herculean effort not to scream at the top of your lungs.
— You… Aren't… That bad… Maleńka — Toto gasped, quickening the movement of his hips against yours. With your heart racing, you didn't know what to say because of the fog of pleasure that clouded your mind, making you completely lose the power of language. You pulled him by the back of his neck towards your lips, in a deep kiss, backed by the wet sound of his cock against your pussy.
Your legs contracted, as did your abdomen.
You were close.
Very close.
Too close.
Until, suddenly, Toto stopped, causing a frustrated groan to escape your lips. Pulling his face slightly away from yours, he studied your face.
— Y/N, look at me — the team principal asked, his thumb stroking your cheek.
Your eyelids fluttered, the effort to open your eyes was almost unreal.
— Who makes you feel good?
— You — you gasped, the painful sensation of your aborted orgasm coursing through your body — Only you.
Toto smiled, bringing his hand to your neck. His fingers pressed lightly against your skin, just enough pressure to let you know he was there. “As if I needed a reminder,” you thought, your fingers moving up to his wrist, begging him not to let you go.
— Good girl.
Using your neck for support, he moved roughly inside you again, his cock touching the spot you needed most with each thrust. Parting your lips in a silent scream, you felt the pressure in your abdomen start to build again, making your legs shake and your spine arch.
— Yes, yes, yes, yes — you repeated, in a thin voice, almost desperately.
Somewhere, you heard Toto grunt, pulling one of your legs to his hip. The other followed, imprisoning him against you. The hand that was on your neck went down to your core, massaging your clit again.
— I… Ah… Yes… I will — you stuttered, your nails sinking deeper and deeper into Toto's shoulders.
— This, this, this — he muttered. And it was the last thing you heard before the pressure in your abdomen exploded.
Biting your bottom lip hard to keep from screaming, you felt a tsunami of pleasure relentlessly sweep through your body. Your legs were shaking uncontrollably, your chest rising and falling with your labored breathing. Not seeing, hearing or feeling anything around you, you were completely numb.
So numb that you didn't notice Toto continuing to move inside you, the contractions of your pussy pulling him along into his own climax. He released himself inside you, the sensation of his hot cum going unnoticed as you had still not yet returned to Earth. Then, he rested his palms on the countertop on either side of your thighs, resting his head on your shoulder, breathing heavily, completely exhausted.
For a few minutes, what you could hear inside the small laboratory was the sounds of both of you trying to catch your breath. It was definitely the craziest thing you had ever done in your life, but never had something so wrong felt so right.
— That was amazing — you mumbled, eyes half closed.
— Thanks, we're always working to provide the best experience — you heard Toto say, his voice muffled by your shoulder, making you giggle weakly.
Lifting his face to you, he brushed his nose lightly against yours. It was gentle and affectionate.
— Can I clean you up?
— Yes — you smiled.
Toto pulled out of you and the small sink that was in the corner of the lab room. Taking a handful of paper towels from the dispenser mounted on the wall, he walked over to you and began to gently wipe you down. Then he helped you down from the counter and helped you pull your dress down again, trying to smooth out the various wrinkles. Then it was his turn to clean up and get dressed again, pulling the pants and overalls back up again.
— Come here — you said, signaling him to turn around. Holding the rough fabric in your hands, you helped him put his arms through the sleeves of the racing suit, fitting it around his shoulders. Turning back to face you, Toto smiled.
— Can you help me with the zipper?
— Sure — you replied, finding the tab and zipping the jumpsuit again, finishing with the collar embroidered with the AMG logo.
— Dziękuję, moja maleńka.
You smiled, guessing what he had said to you.
— I don't know how to say 'you’re welcome' in Polish.
— Well, you could say… Nie mogę się doczekać, aż znowu mnie przelecisz.
You blinked, confused
— Something tells me that wasn’t just ‘you’re welcome’.
Toto pursed his lips, trying to contain a smile.
— It may be. Polish is complicated.
— Torger — you scolded him.
— Okay, Y/N, nie ma za co is fine.
You tried to reproduce the words, the phonemes unfamiliar on your tongue. Your pronunciation was heavily accented and unclear, and it made Toto laugh.
— Close enough — Toto said, kissing you on the forehead.
Once you both were cleaned up and put back together, you started thinking about how to leave the lab room and the Mercedes garage unnoticed. After a few minutes of discussing a plan, you concluded that the best thing would be for you to return to the pit lane, while Toto would go to the motorhome. Taking a deep breath and running your fingers through his hair one last time, you were about to open the door when you felt his fingers curl around your wrist, pulling you into a kiss.
— See you tonight?
— Yes — you smiled, giving him one last peck on the lips before opening the door and disappearing down the hall.

I was gonna be cheeky and ask for 10 and 19 again BUT I shall resist that urge… for now.
I will be sneaky (critical failure) and ask for three (I lied) 28. 30. And 37.
And what the hell, everyone should be proud of their work/s so a 33. (Feel free to pick a couple if this is just asking for a lot - I feel like it is 😅)
I feel like I’m order takeout or reading lotto number here
haha thank you! and the bonus number is…
Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?
today i’m reminding myself to practice mindfulness! and not in the sense of breathing exercises or lengthy meditation sessions (although I’m sure those have their benefits too) but by making myself be in the present, paying attention to all of my senses, and remembering that my characters would do the same. you’ll need that material to fill in the little details that draw the reader into your work, that tricky thing that makes them feel like they can’t just see it, but like they’re actually there. life is a sensual experience, and i think our stories should reflect that!
Describe a fic that almost happened, but then didn’t.
this got long, so…
i once scribbled down a dream i had that was a sort of trippy time travel/repeating day type of thing, where Lena was part of a small crew of criminals that used Lena’s tech to travel back in time to aid them with their heists. they would simply rewind time over and over, taking note of the details, learning every possible outcome, eliminating obstacles along the way, practicing the motions often enough to nail the final, perfect execution.
the first scene was a very bloody one, and i came in right in the middle of it, not understanding how Lena and her people could be so callous about the people laying bleeding and dying at their feet, especially because Kara was one of them. Lena’s crew just kept saying they’d ‘fix that next time’, like some sort of cryptic mantra.
in the dream Lena ended up looking for Kara in every run through, charming her in a thousand different ways, always the same, Kara falling for her every time. there were a few rewinds that took her back so far that Kara was still a child, immediately smitten but completely lost on earth, abandoned and alone, and Lena lobbied hard to make sure her crew fixed that, too, even when it meant Lena would never meet her again.
i saw Lena’s crew running down a dark alley over and over again, at least one of their crew dead or dying, at least one other gravely hurt. Kara turned out to be the reason their plan failed every single time. Lena ended up having to turn against her team to save her before they could eliminate her from their timeline completely.
in the end Lena lay dying in child-Kara’s arms, telling her ‘we’ll fix it next time.’ this was when she’d finally discovered Kara wasn’t human. the line i woke up with was Lena telling Kara to promise her, ‘if you figure it out someday—fly up’. the theory being, i think, that if Kara somehow were to fly high enough, fast enough, she’d achieve the same effect Lena did with her tech, and Kara could go back to save Lena instead.
my dreams get pretty elaborate, but they rarely come with as tidy of a plot as this one did, so i bet it already exists somewhere.
Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?
i don’t feel i write the kind of stuff that requires a lot of research and that’s probably a good thing! because i will go down absolutely every rabbit hole the internet has to offer when i do and zero writing will get done. my longform WIP TFOT has been brewing since—let me check—December 11, 2022 (thanks @mooosicaldreamz) and i’ve written less than 20k words, including my outline. instead i have spent my time working on it ‘studying’ veterinary medicine, learning about sustainable agriculture, planning trips to Wyoming and wondering alongside Paula Cole where all the cowboys have gone.
Give your writing a compliment.
i can’t tell you how happy it makes me when people tell me i managed to write something that made them laugh out loud. several times even! sometimes waking up their loved ones or startling strangers! i love that so much.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
Ughhhhhhh, I took so long to reply to this, but thank you for the ask!!! I'm always happy to get the chance to talk about my stories. God, I've written so much shit that it's hard to pick, but like a kid with a scab, pick I shall.
5. Memoirs
Memoirs is just a silly little thing my girlfriend and I have been working on for the past few months about post-gm Taylor in Kennet. This story gets the number five spot not because I think it's bad, but because my beautiful girlfriend does a lot of the heavy lifting with plotting and characterization because I haven't read Pale. I'm simply there to add where I can. Lovely story, though, and I can't wait for it to reach its ending. I love stories exploring how Taylor deals with everything after it all ends, and K8 really is the queen of that genre.
4. High School Abusical
Alright, this was one of the first stories I wrote on my own that I was really proud of. This whole story spawned from a conversation with the absolute genius user Foxtail about how clusters are always so boring because people usually gen random characters that have no relation to each other when those existing relationships being twisted up into a trigger can lead to so much more fun. The main premise is that Taylor is in a cluster with the Trio. I really would like to get back to this fic someday. I had a lot of fun ideas I wanted to implement, and the way all these girls play off each other is so delightful. I was informed after the fact I got the way clusters work wrong when making the powers, which has really been the only thing holding me from continuing. I can't convince myself to write when such an integral part of the story is off. Maybe I'll redo those someday...
3. Self Implant
Self Implant, my beloved. Fun fact, this was a gift to K8 for her birthday. Bonesaw gets a person in her head, trying to take a crack at playing her conscience. Now, this might surprise some of you, but I really like Bonesaw. I love playing around with her, and this story is just an excuse to do that for one million words. Like a little bug in a jar that I'm feeding enrichment to. This story really just gets me excited. I really, really need to put some more out there, for my own sake if no one else's
2. Severed
Severed!!!!!!! A story about Taylor joining the nine and the consequences there of. Also, the only story I wrote that has the dubious honor of actually driving someone crazy in real life. This story means a lot to me. Severed was the reason that I first started talking to my girlfriend (she wrote the amazing AU of it, Soliloquy), and for that alone, it will always be near the top for me. I think this story is where I really kind of took off as a writer, started getting past a lot of the mistakes that plagued my earlier stuff. It still has tons of grammatical errors, hard to get those right when youre inebriated most of the time, but this story has a lot of my feelings wrapped up in it, a lot of myself wrapped up into it, which will always boost it towards the top.
1. Felix Fortuna
Felix Fortuna is the best story I think I've ever written, and it's not even close. A story about Contessa going to Hogwarts that was originally written because of how much I disliked what Ward decided to do with her character. I feel like you can actually see me get better in real time as the story goes on. This was a collaborative effort with three other amazing authors (Pericardium, Maroon_Sweater, and Poe), and I think it really shows with all the care put into it. It lands at number one for a lot of reasons. It's got some of the best prose of anything I've written, it's the most well constructed of my stories, I love every character from Fortuna to Flavia to Jessica and Angelique. But mostly I like it best because I, at my heart, am a massive softy. When it comes to it, more than anything, I want a story where a character I really love finally gets a happy ending.

20 Questions for Writers
Tagged by @lordoftherazzles and @i-did-not-mean-to (although compared to idnmt's 550+ fanfics this will look pretty sparse XD
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
14! One is a collection of a couple of short fics, the others are all stand-alones.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
204,153
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Tolkien, pretty exclusively. I don't know many other fandoms well enough to be comfortable writing in them for now
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Burn Like Cold Iron takes first place for everything as my only long fic. Then How to Cope with a Middle Earth Bed Shortage, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, Customer Service, and A Helping Hand.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes! There are a few here and there that slip through the cracks when I just don’t have enough spoons to reply, but I do my best!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I write happy endings as a rule lol, so this is tough. The closest to angst might be Burn Like Cold Iron just because it will have some bittersweetness thrown in alongside the happy ending, but I definitely wouldn't call it an angsty ending.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Considering most of my fic endings are pretty equally happy, my favorite is The Floor Is Molasses, because I just want Boromir to be happy and hanging out in the Shire.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
A few times on FFN in the past. I’ve been lucky enough to avoid it almost entirely on AO3. Which is good bc it does not take much to make me cry 😂
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I have posted one (1) explicit fic and we shall NEVER SPEAK OF IT (I am easily embarrassed and it’s a miracle I posted it at all)
10. Do you write crossovers?
Nooooo, they've always intimidated me. Between all the canon characters and OCs I don't have room for anyone else!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Oof I hope not
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I would be honored!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I haven’t done much more than brainstorm with fandom friends about plot points and stuff. But it sounds like fun and I hope I can cowrite something with one of my much more talented mutuals someday!!
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I haven’t been super obsessed with a ship in years, so this is a tough question, especially since I’ve been focused on OC pairings lately. I’ve been pretty into Boromir/Theodred lately (but it’s such a tragic pairing and my poor heart can’t stand it), but hmm...my all-time favorite?? I'm a big fan of Nina and Matthias from Six of Crows, and Katniss and Peeta from the Hunger Games, and OOH Jaime and Brienne from Game of Thrones! There that's the one. All-time favorite. I did it. Phew.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I fully intend to finish my one ongoing WIP, Burn Like Cold Iron, and beyond that I really don’t want to start a fic I don’t think I’ll finish.
But I’ve written bits and pieces of a Middle Earth murder mystery I was really excited about, and I don’t have high hopes for actually fleshing that one out. I’ve never plotted out a murder mystery and would need to do some hardcore planning and plotting and scheming for it first and my brain is just not there right now XD
16. What are your writing strengths?
Aaahhh I am not good at complimenting myself (my therapist made me compliment myself last week and I almost cried lol) but I think I’ve gotten pretty good at writing engaging dialogue. I also am happy with a lot of my OCs, especially in my all-OC fic Something Burrowed, Something Blue, although I want to keep working at developing more complex characters in the future.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
My writing speed. I’m so slow. So so slow. Dear lord.
That and detailed plots and worldbuilding. Basically I need to brainstorm more before I start writing, and get a better sense for where things are going and how they'll turn out.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I could probably throw some Italian into a fic without much trouble lol. But Tolkien languages like sindarin honestly intimidate the hell out of me- I will jump through SO many hoops to avoid it. I am a coward
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Warrior cats. I was 12 and submitted it to my English teacher for extra credit. I had no shame 😂
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
It’s probably unfair to my other fics to say Burn Like Cold Iron since it’s so much longer than everything else I’ve written. So besides that one, probably What Could Possibly Go Wrong? I had fun exploring different characters’ points of view and sprinkling in lots of foreshadowing and dramatic irony for future plot points.
Tagging: @the-girl-with-the-algebra-book, @hobbitwrangler, @jaimehwatson, @frosticenow, @fishing4stars, @sotwk and anyone else who wants to play!

fic writer 20 questions - ask game
I was tagged by @bitbybitwrites As for tagging more friends, I think everyone I know who writes has been tagged but if you haven't been tagged, then you should play, too!
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
32
2. what's your ao3 word count?
1,635,923
3. what fandoms do you write for?
Glee! Specifically Klaine.
4. top 5 fics by kudos
Pressed Against The Glass Better Knot Bow Tie Company: Act One Soulsongs and Seastars  Rock, Paper, Scissors Sonder
5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?
I try my hardest! I mostly write "live" these days, though, and I get behind because I'm hitting "post chapter" and then starting a new document to write the next. I read every single one and treasure them dearly. They keep me going, and I appreciate them so much. I plan on getting to the ones I've missed eventually!
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
No can do. I promise Klainbows 100% of the time. I read and write fanfiction to escape the hell that is reality. If the boys haven't found a way to make life work together... the fic isn't over yet! ♥♥♥ I suppose that Magic Spoken at Midnight is a tiny bit angsty because we know they have a lot of work ahead of them to restore Pantasia (but it's not angst between Klaine).
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Okay, now this is a hard question! I think my favorite ending is tied with Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Never Crossed the Line.
8. do you get hate on fics?
Luckily, no!
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
I do! I didn't find fanfic (or Glee) until I was very much an adult. All my stories are almost exclusively Explicit! 😂 I started writing smut because I wanted to read stories that treated sex as something that could be both smoldering hot and sacredly beautiful at the same time. I've tried several times to sit down and write PWP, and it always turns into something more. And I've learned I just have to embrace that about myself!
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've ever written?
No, I never have. Maybe someday?
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
I sure hope not.
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
I don't think so.
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
I was part of the fandom project PROM-US and wrote two chapters of that. I've never co-written something with just two people where you would plot it out together and such.
14. fave all time ship?
Klaine forever!
15. wip you want to finish but doubt you will?
I have a few "brainstorming" documents where I write lists and quick paragraphs when they jump into my mind and research articles, and... you get the idea. I wouldn't call them WIP exactly. I know some of them I might never get to write. But as for WIP, where there is some sort of structure? I will get them done! My brain won't allow me to sleep at night if I don't convince it they'll all get done.
16. what are your writing strengths?
I hope it's writing conversations that are hard to have. Digging down into details and asking hard questions. Working through things with another human being without someone slamming a door and leaving. Writing about vulnerability in intimacy. (I think that conversations can be more intimate than sex, for sure!).
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
I can't stand missing a moment of their lives in some of these AUs I create. I want to know everything they're doing. The first few months of a relationship are so crucial, and I LOVE that part. I'm not sure it's a weakness so much as I wish I was comfortable skipping huge chunks of time and not needing to write 400 words about how they looked at each other the first time they made toast together in the morning.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?
I shall leave that to people who are much better at it than I am.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Glee
20. fave fic you've written?
This question always fills me with panic. How can I pick? I am absolutely loving writing Sonder right now. It's a WIP that I update several times a week. It's captured my heart. As for one that is already finished, I think I'll pick Since Sense Sensory. Ask me tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll pick something different!
Thank you! This was fun!

5. Is there any scene you're excited about writing? 😃
gonna give you a little bit of all the wips i have lol…
•for the jancy prequel to iawwyh, i’m excited to write the 1999 thanksgiving scene in nancy’s pov….also her reconnecting with jonathan in 1990.
•for will’s pov of iawwyh i wanted to write his pov during jancy’s wedding, particularly when he’s staring at mike during careless whisper while dancing with his boyfriend 😏 (there’s a lot i wanna do with his side of the story honestly…hopefully someday 🥲)
•for my 10 things i hate about you byler/henderhop AU i haven’t entirely adapted the plot to my liking yet, but one things for certain; mike is gonna serenade will to try and win his affection and even though i severely dislike writing singing in fic (war flashbacks of ch 16 karaoke 😩) it’s one of my fav scenes in the movie and it would be soooo good 😆
•for mike’s novel from iawwyh (aka my attempt at cleradin)—just looking forward to adapting the mirror world in a dark alice in wonderland way (there’s a dnd campaign i’m gonna take inspiration from lol) and getting to do a live chess game (if it works…we shall see, i’m such a slow writer so it may ever happen)
•really want to do another movie adaptation for byler (i think i told you about this) where it’s hurt/no comfort and mostly i just want to write the ending cause it HURTS lol
•and for my latest ship obsession of joyren…flashback to them in high school playing spin the bottle….also a scene involving too much wine when they’re in their 30s (this idea is a messy fic honestly but i just think they’re neat)

💫🎀🧿💌 for the ask game!!
Oh my gosh, thank you for the ask! 💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?
I love all comments and feedback (as long as it's not like.. mean). Just knowing people read or enjoyed something I wrote is honestly an incredible feeling. But I think my favorite thing is when I've made someone laugh. That always makes me really happy. Also love hearing when I nail the characterization because that is important to me, but making people laugh is like... my favorite thing.
🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing I mean I sure do a lot of it. 😅 Sometimes I worry I post too much fic (is that a thing??) and I definitely don't expect to people keep up reading when I'm posting weekly or whatever, but I really enjoy writing, and it's part of how I engage with fandom and I write fast, so I end up with a lot of fic. (I also end up with a lot of scraps, unfinished stories, false starts, and stuff I don't think is worth posting.) Also I do think I'm pretty solid at dialogue. Not all the time but I try to get the character's voices correct or as close as I can. Marius and Louis are often the hardest, but Lestat and Daniel having conversations takes me FOREVER to write because I want them both to sound like them. (That's two compliments, whoops. The first is sort of dubious I guess.)
🧿what steps do you take to not take things personally if a fic doesn't do well, or if your writing/posting/sharing experience isn't going how you'd like it to?
I always take it personally. 😂😂 No, no, I'm kidding. I try to remind myself of several things: 1. Sometimes you just post at a weird time or a day when people aren't around and then it gets forgotten and buried so it doesn't get as much love. 2. Sometimes it's just not a popular pairing or type of fic. But I like to experiment with different stuff and different groups of characters. 3. Not every fic is for everyone and neither is my writing style. I tend to write a lot of dialogue-heavy slice of life stuff, which I love, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I've gotten a lot more confident writing smut, and someday I want to write a big Plot-Heavy Multi-Part fic or try cowriting with someone, but I love little fics that just explore the nooks and crannies left by canon (both reading them and writing them). Not everything I write is going to have broad appeal and that's okay! Mostly, I'm writing for me. I am my own target audience. Of course I want other people to enjoy what I write, and I always hope they do! Which is why comments really help, it makes it feel like I'm not writing into a void. But at the end of the day, as long as one or two people enjoy it and it's what I set out to write, then I'm happy, and I move on and write the next thing.
💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!
I am desperately trying to write something Lestat/Daniel for Lestat Birthday Bingo but I have like 3 half-finished fics I'm not super happy with any of them right now, so we shall see! Their conversations are so hard to write, I think because they get deep and getting Lestat to actually open up is a challenge! 😬
I also have an idea for a fun Devil's Minion Christmas Fic that I want to start soon, so I'm really excited about that but I don't want to say too much since I don't want to jinx it.

Since I'm trying to get back into the second draft of the Safe Harbor sequel, I'm going to take you at your word and ask about the Sandbridge series. Do you have a favourite moment from the series? And are there anything you can tell us about that happened but we didn't see onscreen? ❤️❤️❤️
First, let me say that I am utterly delighted that you're continuing the Safe Harber story; I loved it so much!
Favorite moment? Oh, holy heck, that's a difficult one. I'll just stream-of-consciousness a handful of them, shall I? :D
Tony and Bucky's dance and first kiss in Safe and (the) Sound, the one that gets interrupted by the fire. I'm a little weird about sex scenes; they're really intense for me the first time I write (or read) them but they lose most of their punch on subsequent re-reads. But that kiss never fails to make my heart beat a little faster.
In Lord of the Swings, Bucky standing in line for beer and dealing with a bunch of homophobic asshats. Tisfan wrote that scene pretty much in its entirety (I only edited it) and it is for me a perfect encapsulation of how queer people experience that sort of aggression.
In Howard's End, the moment where Tony thinks Howard is actually going to apologize, but then realizes that Howard still doesn't get it, and his line there: "You regret driving me away because of what I might have become. It still doesn't occur to you to regret hurting me because I was a child." This is the heartbreak at the core of Tony and Howard - that Howard can never really see Tony as anything but his heir, even when they're on good terms.
The bachelor parties in Zen and the Art of Family Maintenance. Because they're so delightful and absolutely perfect for them both.
The scene in From the Ukraine with Love where Steve gets a call from Bucky and has to go collect his sad drunk ass. That's the beating heart of their friendship, right there. Also, Natasha fretting over her sundress when Steve introduces her to Winifred is utterly adorable, because we don't get many chances to see Natasha as anything but supremely self-confident.
Tony dealing with Billie's tantrums in High Noon in Sandbridge, because so many kidfics have the new parents struggling comically or barely struggling at all, and Tony starts out as, frankly, a really TERRIBLE parent. He has NO idea what he's doing, and it shows very clearly in those scenes.
In That Someone Special, I have 2 moments: When Scott first shows up and Steve is chasing him to try to punch him and Tony steps between them until he finds out exactly who Scott is, and then steps back and says "oh, carry on" -- that was, to me, a perfect moment of almost gallows humor. And then the turnaround scene, when Tony, Steve, and Sam show up at Luis' apartment to help Scott after he's been beaten up. That scene is a special kind of funny and touching.
In My Three Dads, the scene where Billie is in the hospital with a broken leg. Loki being jealous over Tony's rapport with Billie and then proud that she picks him to stay with her for the x-rays; and Bucky stepping in to make Tony leave when he can't handle seeing Billie in pain. Family dynamics at their best. <3
And finally, in Stem the Tide, which is not technically a Sandbridge 'verse story at all, but a "What If" side novel, I really like the scene where Bucky stands up to Alex and tells him to fuck off.
Stuff that happens that you didn't see onscreen... I have a couple of chapters that we cut out of My Three Dads, including Tony meeting with Grant Ward that we rejected because it steered the plot wrong, and one with Tony and Bucky going to Ty's apartment to pick up his stuff, which we allude to and consider as having actually happened, but didn't include because it screwed up our pacing for the story. I actually sometimes forget that we never posted the scene at Ty's apartment, because I really liked it. I might someday clean it up and throw it into the Jetsam and Flotsam bits-and-pieces collection.
But if there's something specific you were wondering about in the background, feel free to shoot me a DM and ask; I'm always happy to talk about my Sandbridge boys. <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't like writing angsty endings these days, all about the happy endings recently but probably the first installment of my OG hp fic where the main OC is taken to prison at the end.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes but nothing that's published.

How does anyone pick a favorite all time ship? I guess the one I've obsessed over the longest is Elliot x Olivia
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Probably the hp trilogy I started when I was like 13 lol. It's my first fic so I'd love to finish it but the hp vibes are not what they once were.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I love planting little details of foreshadowing and landing emotional gut punches.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I have to go through about 4 drafts of anything before I'm happy enough with it to publish it. Which means I am sloooooow at updating.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'm no where near fluent enough in any other languages to include it in my fic without substantial support and I am too shy to ask for that so probably not happening for me. I do enjoy it when other writers include it tho.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I have an ~84 page hand written Power Rangers fic from when I was like 10, specifically the In Space cast meets the Time Force cast if I remember right.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Stubborn Love, hands down. It's been such a joy to plot and write and I've just put so much into it and there's still a lot left but I'm already planning to bind myself a physical copy of it when it's done because I love it so dang much.
I shall tag: @captainredspade @ameerawrites and @becomethesun if you feel like it ofc, no pressure! ❤️

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you so much for the tag @zealouswerewolfcollector ! 💛💚
1. How many works do you have on ao3? 16, as of today! I tend to compile my ficlets (<2k) and drabbles into one place.
2. What's your total ao3 word count? 95483. So close to 100k! Soon.
3. What fandoms do you write for? Silmarillion, LoTR, and one other fandom that I shall not name here (it's visible on my ao3 though lol).
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? I'll list the Tolkien ones:
Promise of Happiness : A kidnap fam fic! They tend to be popular in our fandom, don't they?
Words They Said : Collection of my dialogue-centric ficlets.
To Learn Thy Song : My beloved Aragorn/Lothiriel post-war WIP!
Where do we go? : The first fic I wrote for this fandom. It's a Feanorion bonding short piece.
They Named it Love : Unrequited Russingon with aroace Mae!
5. Do you respond to comments? Usually yes. I try to. But I've missed some due to irl constraints... they haunt me though.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Oh this is a difficult question. Maybe Kinslayer in Truth? Yeah, Maedhros dies in that one 😶
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Oh easily, Promise of Happiness! It's there in the name. And Loveless too! It's a good warm one with father-son bonding and aroace Fingon.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Nope. The only kind of silent readers writers are happy about are the outraged ones.
9. Do you write smut? Ah I really cannot imagine myself ever writing that. Smut and I are acquaintances and no more. I mean, as a reader I search it up once in a blue moon, but on a regular day, you cannot tempt me into even reading it, much less writing it. It's a skip for me.
10. Do you write crossovers? Again nope. I'm not a fan of crossovers either. I've read some brilliant ones, but I don't see the appeal myself... One canon universe is already too big for me to handle.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I don't write that good for that to happen lmao. (But I once had my poetry stolen. It was a bot copying the site I posted on. I was so mad I got DMCA to hide the links from showing up in searches at least.)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! In the other fandom I write for, someone translated my fic into Vietnamese. Very happy for that.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No... my writing habits don't allow a collaboration, it's too sporadic. But I beta read once or twice! It was nice.
14. What's your all time favourite ship? Me/my metaphorical pen. It's an on and off again, tragic ship with misunderstandings and periods of abandonment. It feels like unrequited love at times, but I hope it's not and that they can live hea 🥺. Jokes aside, as a reader, sure, there are many across various fandoms, but as a writer, I do not.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? This is a sinister question 😭 wdym I doubt I'll finish. I have every hope to finish it someday! The fic is To Learn Thy Song btw. My most ambitious project to date.
16. What are your writing strengths? Oh, one-liners easily. They're different from dialogues to me as they can also be set into narration. I get these singular lines in my mind and I centre whole fics around them. They're strengths as they drive my writing instead of hampering it. That said, I also believe characters and their inter-personal dynamics are a pillar I build my fics on.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Besides writing itself 😅? Plot. I don't think I've ever written a fic with solid plot. I'm also quite slow with setting up and switching scenes. Mostly, descriptions and fillers are difficult for me.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogues in another language in a fic. I would rather use italics and bolded letters to convey different languages. Most readers, myself included, do not bother reading all those foreign letters, they just look for the translation instead at the bottom. One or two words, though, can enhance the reading experience instead of detracting from it.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Supernatural! Funnily enough, that fic is my most popular one. Though given the size of that fandom, it's not as surprising, but given the quality of my writing then? Very very shocking honestly!
20. Favourite fic you've written? Right now, Loveless. 💔
I truly don't know who has done this already so if you see this and haven't answered these already, I dare you to @ me and just do it! 😝

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do, yeah! I love chatting with people in the comments. :D
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmmm maybe baggage that one was very angsty...
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably In This World of Strangers, I Belong to Someone, because it's an AU and so they can be happy and in love forever. So much so that there's a fluffy as heck sequel thing. :D
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not that I'm aware of!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
*blushes forever* I have written only one M-rated fic ever and it was a CHALLENGE, you're welcome/I'm sorry.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I haven't but I want to steal the vibes of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and put it into a Thasmin fic. Someday. Maybe.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Oh I hope not...
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
You know someone asked me if they could once and I thought it was spam honestly I didn't realize this was a thing? Sorry to that person!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Oh yes! to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again (as if it might turn out this time), teamed up with @eriadu-in-the-wildwood, it was awesome :D
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Thasmin has taken over my life, it's fine.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I haven't published anything that I'm in the middle of, but I have many a plot bunny hopping around in my brain, I hope they all make it to the writing-and-sharing stage eventually.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Oh goodness I don't know, I think I'm pretty good at dialogue, and at some nice interior monologues and feelings.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Plotting is hard. Also I have a tendency to go on a bit, which I absolutely indulge in fic writing and perhaps should not...
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I wouldn't ever do something lengthy, but a little snippet I could probably sneak in. Particularly if it's in French or Italian and I could be relatively confident in my ability to fact-check Google translate, heh.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Oh was it Lord of the Rings first or Phantom of the Opera first? One of those two!
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
Wait I have to pick one?? D: Hmmmm I think for right now I'll say falling down the stairs (of your love) because I got to fit so many things I like into one story.
Thanks for the tag!! I shall tag... @highlyillogicalandroid @aleksandrachaev @fuxdeiflswued @elephant-in-the-pride-parade If you all are so inclined! :)
