From the ask game!

3, 27 (not any specific fic, just general), 30, 39 and 45.

What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Klaus being absolutely obsessed with Elena's neck, particularly the scar he would have left on it after the sacrifice.

Using some kind of opera or play as an avenue to dissect Elena's state of mind.

Elena being obsessed with Klaus's mouth. Just a lot of oral fixations between the two of them.

How long did it take to write Queen of the Highway? Describe the process.

Maybe a little over a year? I had become hyper focused on Miami by Tommy Genesis and simultaneously had been searching for new Klena fics to read but had run out. The song inspired this scene of Klaus and Elena on the beach by a bonfire in a mirror image of Klaus with Tatia by the fire.

And I stayed awake until 3 am writing the first 10 chapters. Debated about posting them. Went ahead with it and kept going. Scheduled an hour or two each day and just wrote feverishly.

Not sure if I've said this here, but my original plan was to just have Elena die at the end of chapter 27. Truly die with no way of saving her and having it be a thing of "magic can't stop a sacrificial death" kind of thing. Basically to put Klaus in a situation where he finally gets the thing he's been wanting for a thousand years and it's the last thing he ever wanted.

There are still times I wish I'd done that.

In general though, I come up with an idea and key events and how I'd like it to end. Then I let the characters go like little lab mice chasing after cheese. Sometimes the plot is affected and things have to change, but it's fun to let it map itself out.

Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

My first attempt at AU-Gust, Many Shadows of a Woman. I just didn't know how I was going to come up with so many ideas and commit to a strict schedule and actually post every day.

I think it helped me to find good endings. I was so reluctant to leave Queen of the Highway that sometimes I wonder if I went on for too long. But it was my first time in a sandbox and I was having too much fun to stop.

Is any aspect of your writing process inspired by other writers or people? If so, who?

Stephen King. Particularly his book, On Writing. Just this idea that you need to get the shit out and on paper. The value of editing. I used to hate it but now its one of my favorite parts of writing. Like decorating a cake.

What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

I think - sticking to one tense. Thinking about tense at all. Which one to use and why. I like present tense for immediacy but past tense also helps with building tension.

Hey Jab! Hope you're doing good <33

These are from the ask game —

20. If you wrote a prequel fic to Don't Wake Me Just Yet, what would it involve?

27. (a slightly modified question) What's the process like to write A Light in the Dark?

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

45. What's something you've improved on since you've started writing fics?

Hey Q!! I’m doing really good. I hope you’re doing well, as well. ❤️

20. If you wrote a prequel fic to Don’t Wake Me Just Yet, what would it involve?

- You know, I actually sort of had a plan to (but it likely won’t happen. I’m having difficulties writing anything HP-related at the moment. It all just kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth.) BUT… I’d thought about writing a short-ish prequel from Harry’s POV. Something really dark that shows his descent into becoming a Dark Lord. I had a blurb in my head of Dolohov and another Death Eater (maybe Rabastan) showing up at 4 Privet Drive a week or so after the end of 5th year, and the death of Sirius. I headcanoned Harry leaving willingly with them — he’s just done with Dumbledore, with his lies, etc. and in his youth/immature mind the best way to get back at Dumbledore is to join his enemy. I also had Dolohov taking Harry under his wing and teaching him Dark Magic, and convincing Harry to overthrow Voldemort. Maybe by killing him — or more likely pulling a Oct. 31 1981 thing, where Voldy’s essence just kinda slips away somewhere.

27. What is the process like to write A Light in the Dark?

- Slow (hahaha). I generally have a pretty good idea of where I want each chapter to go, and I have an end-point written in my head that I’m working my way towards. But for each chapter I spend a lot of time researching Star Wars things (I love Wookieepedia), whether that’s for specific terminology, or places, or characters, or timelines, or deckplans for vessels… sigh… it all gets a bit obsessive, and I do step away from it from time to time because of that. Which is why it tends to take me awhile to post each chapter. I usually have a pretty good idea of which character POV I want to write the chapter (the default is always Rey). But sometimes it doesn’t work the way I want it to, and I end up writing it in another POV. I think doing that keeps it interesting for me. I will read the previous chapter before I start writing the next — especially if it starts right where the other left off — to make sure it still sounds the same. (I don’t know if that makes sense, but I don’t know how else to explain it. I find each of my stories sound a bit different from each other, and I just try to make sure that Rey sounds like Rey, rather than like Hermione or Alina, etc. if you know what I mean…). Sometimes actually starting the chapter is difficult, but once I get going and it feels right, I’ll spend a couple of weeks plugging away on it. I do edit as I write. I find that if I don’t do that, it can get away from me and I can loose the character’s voice. But once I finish the chapter, I reread it from start to finish, do any last minute editing. And then post. And then I edit again, because there is always something misspelled, or funky-sounding that I didn’t catch initially.

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

- All comments. Honestly. They all stand out to me. But I do especially love those comments that highlight each and every part that they like about the chapter. You know, comments like your comments 😉 I find the time you, and others, take to comment so thoroughly and so kindly really are a highlight to me. I tend to get quite overwhelmed by them because I never know how to respond without sounding like a blubbering fool. So it’s usually just a ‘Thanks so much! ❤️” or something like that.

- On a more personal note, I had a Professor/Grad Student teaching one of my fourth year Criminology classes, who told me that I was good at writing and that I should try to do something with it, in terms of career direction. I haven’t, at least in terms of anything Criminology-related, due to a bunch of chronic health conditions I have, which led to potential employers declining to hire me regardless of my qualifications (unofficially, of course). But it is something that has stuck with me for years. I’ve never ever had anyone tell me that I was good at something before. It was always, ‘Well, this is where you can improve…’

45. What is something that you’ve improved on since you’ve started writing fics?

- I think character voice? I’m not sure if that’s the proper term for it. But yeah. Character voice. Not saying that I’m perfect at it (far from it, tbh), but I have definitely gotten a lot better at it. That, and I think maybe world building too. I definitely put a lot more thought into it.

Any Fan's Dream, Part 25

Any Fan's Dream Masterlist

Synopsis:

When you look around and see Avengers Tower in front of you and Peter Parker beside you, you wonder how the hell you managed to get into the MCU.Keep reading

Sorry this chapter is a day late, I was remaking the taglist and that took a lot longer than expected so I just passed out after lol

Taglist: @secretly-sirens, @zeeader, @imdoingathingmom, @x-theolivia, @ainsley-official, @ourgoddessathena, @vine-enthusiast, @hoohoohope, @myfturn, @mjaudrey, @igotthisasajokeyetimstillhere, @starr60, @lauraashley93, @coldmermaidhologram, @daenerysluvrr, @viperchick47, @im-better-than-your-newborn, @mynightandstars, @qvnthesia, @liallerr, @cypherverze, @afraidofshrimp, @alexsmonstercan, @huntress-artemiss, @im-better-than-your-newborn, @marvelwomen-arehot, @benzinaa, @maxinehufflepuffprincess

After your interaction with Steve, you managed to find your way back to the entryway you had come in through. It was just a large rectangular living room with an open style kitchen in one corner and large ground-to-ceiling windows spanning two of the walls. There was a large television in front of the plush couches and one person pacing in front of them.

Your eyebrows raised.

For some reason, you hadn't really expected to see him.

The clearly stressed man raised his head when he heard your footsteps, freezing the moment he saw you.

"What's up, Mr. Stank?" you asked. "Sorry for disappearing and everything..." You rubbed the back of your neck sheepishly, hoping he wasn't mad at you. Especially since you would've done it again without hesitation. You weren't really sorry for leaving but more so for betraying his trust.

He looked shell-shocked, completely speechless for once. Well, how was he supposed to react when someone who he thought of as one of his own was standing right in front of him mere days after being stabbed? He had heard the guilt in Steve's voice, felt panic rise in himself at the thought of how badly you'd been injured. The idea that you were only inches from death and that your only chance to live depended on the technology of aliens did nothing to ease his worry. He knew Thor cared about you, but what if the people there didn't want to help you?

He didn't want to lose another person he cared about.

And wasn't that what every single one of them felt at the thought of you dying?

You weren't really sure what to do with his silence, but hugs had been working for everyone else, so you figured you might as well try it. Besides, in your experience, hugs almost always helped you, even if it was just a little. Obviously, they couldn't really fix your problems but they helped to ground you and remind you that you weren't alone in them.

"Can I give you a hug, Mr. Stank?"

His expression changed, relief softening his features. "Yeah, of course, kid."

You moved forward, hugging him happily. As you'd said before, you truly were a hoe for hugs. There was something just so comforting about them to you. You knew some people didn't really like hugs though so you always made sure to ask before you did so. After all, if the point was to comfort a person, why would you do something that would make them uncomfortable?

Luckily, with Mr. Stank he seemed to be grateful for the hug.

When the hug ended, he patted your shoulder. "I'm real glad you're alright, kid." His voice was a little choked up, but you didn't bother to point it out.

"Thanks," you grinned. "I'm glad you are too, Mr. Stank."

He smiled at your attitude, glad to see you could still smile the same. "What do you say to working in the lab for a while?"

"Ooh! Yes!" You loved all the time you spent in his labs, there was so much cool stuff in there and even more cool stuff that you could build!

A couple hours later (it was only around noon, but it felt later to you because apparently there was a time zone difference from Asgard and earth), Nat came into the lab while you and Tony were drinking juice packets.

"C'mon, (y/n)," she said as she pulled you out of the room. "You need to have something other than juice."

"Sounds good," you nodded, your stomach agreeing immensely. "See ya later, Mr. Stank!" You waved to the man as you got pulled out of the room, missing the fond grin on his face. You walked beside Nat as she led you to the main living room you had been in earlier.

As the two of you got closer to the room, a delicious smell began to waft through your nostrils--a delicious, familiar smell. You understood all those dogs you'd ever seen that would sniff the air greedily, behaving much too similarly at that moment. You couldn't help it, though! It smelled so. Damn. Good. And you hadn't eaten in hours and during those hours you had napped, comforted people, and began building a pear cannon for Peter! You were only human! You needed that delicious food that was giving off that heavenly smell.

As the two of you stepped into the living room, you glanced to the kitchen side of the room, your eyes set on the woman who was sitting at the counter of the island. She looked up from her phone when she heard the two of you enter, smiling at you in a way that made your breath catch a little. It wasn't your fault! Wanda's smile was too damn pretty for your weak heart!

"Hey, (y/n)," Wanda greeted. "Nat and I thought we could celebrate you being all healed, so I made your favorite foods and Nat bought your favorite snacks!"

You felt your jaw drop, but couldn't register much else.

Wanda grinned at your expression, before setting out dishes laden with your favorite food on the low table in front of the TV while Natasha grabbed a bag from the corner of the counter and placed it beside the table.

"This is..." your brain was refusing to work, "I mean—you two didn't have to do all this. It must've taken a while." Your too-slow brain wasn't allowing you to properly process the situation. You couldn't really blame it, though. How—in any dimension—were you to believe that Natasha Romanoff and Wanda Maximoff would know your favorite foods? Or even more ridiculous, how were you to believe that they would take the time to make it for you when they were incredibly busy people themselves? Like, they were literally Avengers.

"We wanted to," Natasha smiled. "Although, I can't say I made much of the food. That was Wanda. I just got snacks." She held up the bag.

"Well, I think of you as a friend, and you were just healed from an almost fatal wound, so I thought it was well-deserved." Wanda's voice was sincere enough that you were almost distracted from what she'd said.

"You think of me as a friend?" you asked incredulously.

"Of course," Wanda reassured. "Am I not a friend to you?"

"No! I mean—no as in you're not not a friend to me—like, you are a friend to me, ya know?" you tried to explain, losing respect in yourself with every word you said.

Natasha laughed. "Calm down there, babe. We got you."

You let loose a relieved laugh. "Anyway, thank you for everything." You looked to both of them, hoping they knew just how sincere you were being. "I don't think I ever could've imagined having such wonderful people being my friends."

Wanda hugged you, making your brain short-circuit yet again, and laughed. "I think I should be the one saying that."

"You both deserve friends as wonderful as each other," Natasha said, joining in on the little hug.

When the hug was over, Natasha grabbed the TV remote as you grabbed your food. She turned on the TV, a familiar movie ready as the screen turned on.

They had set up your favorite movie.

You got to watch two of your favorite movies with Natasha and Wanda, munching on the food Wanda had made and the snacks Nat had brought. Overall, it was practically heaven. To be honest, you were a little disappointed when they got a call and were forced to leave.

Both of them gave you a hug goodbye which reminded you that you were being stupid getting disappointed because you had still spent four hours with both of them. You were lucky that they had the time to do such considerate things for you. Once they were gone though, you were completely lost as to what you should do for the remainder of your time there.

You couldn't call anyone because you had broken the phone Tony gave you a while ago so you were just stuck on the couch scrolling through channels--that is, until Scott and Sam arrived in the room and Scott began pulling things out from the cabinets.

"Dude, how do you know where everything is? You've been here like...2 days." Sam said, confused at the confidence with which Scott was pulling everything he needed out.

"What can I say? I'm a quick study." Scott pulled out a metal bowl and baking sheet. "Besides, if I don't know where something is, that's what looking is for."

"What are you guys doing?" you asked.

"Oh, hey, (y/n)," Scott greeted cheerfully. "We're baking cookies for my daughter, wanna help?"

"Sure," you smiled at him, thoughts flashing to the scenes with Cassie in them.

Huh. Since Steve and Tony hadn't really ended up fighting, Scott never got arrested.

He wouldn't have to be put under house arrest and his relationship with Hope wouldn't end up horrible.

Your smile got a little wider.

"Awesome!" Scott said. "Her favorite are snickerdoodles."

"I don't think we followed the directions right," you proclaimed, looking down at the sad little heaps of dough that Scott had just pulled out of the oven.

"My nephews can bake better than you, Scott." Sam laughed, hitting Scott on the back jokingly. "I don't see a future in baking for you, my man."

"They can't be that bad," Scott protested, reaching to grab one only for it to start oozing when he did so.

Cue screeching from the three of you--screeching that ended up bringing Steve and Bucky into the room tensed and ready to fight.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked, searching the room.

You were too busy laughing on the floor at the look on Sam's face to answer so Scott had to.

"I'm afraid our cookies are alive, Captain." Scott answered, the serious expression on his face only making you laugh harder.

"Oh," Steve didn't seem to know how to handle the situation.

Bucky peered at the lumps of goo on the baking sheet and winced. "Those look disgusting."

"I didn't know we had two Captains in the room." Sam said, not taking his comment too kindly. "Captain America and Captain Obvious."

"I mean, we could always remake them," you piped up, finally recovering from your laughing fit. "It's only like five."

"You're right, (y/n)!" Scott gave you an appreciative look. "Let's get cracking!"

"Are you gonna join us?" you asked Steve and Bucky.

Sam looked to Bucky. "Yeah. You gonna join us instead of just judging us silently, ya weirdo?"

"I don't know how much help we'll be." Steve answered. "But I don't see how we could make it any worse."

"Damn!" you put a hand over your heart. "That was uncalled for, old man."

Contrary to what Steve had said, it could get worse.

In fact, the five of you didn't even get any cookies into the oven before a towel lit on fire and flour ended up on Steve's face.

You were almost crying from laughter at the look on Steve's face, clutching your stomach while he looked confused. You were forced into shocked silence when Steve threw a handful of flour at you.

You gaped at him, looking like you had taken a dive into cocaine with how much flour was covering you.

"What was that for?" you demanded.

"Stop laughing at me."

"Oh, you petty-" you threw a handful at him, hitting Scott on accident when Steve moved.

Scott turned to look at you.

"I didn't mean it! I swear!"

With the kitchen covered in enough flour to bake a life-size cake statue of Thor, you were lucky to be pulled out before cleanup time. You would've felt guilty if not for the fact that everyone in that room had hit you at least once with a handful of flour. Even Bucky!

Either way, you didn't regret anything about that day--it was the most fun you'd had in a while.

But now you were going home.

Pairing: Steve Rogers x F!Reader

@avengersbingo Square Filled: 'Is it permanent?'

Length: ~28k

Notes: A story about shaking up the status quo and knowing when to let yourself break the rules. Rated T for swearing and kissing. Mostly fluff with a side serving of light ok that was a damn lie angst.

From the ask game!

3, 7, 12, 13, 14, 30, 38, and 45 (i would've asked you the entire thing in excitement but these are all I'm curious about 😂)

Oh god, I am so, so sorry about how late this answer is, but…. I’ve finally opened my asks, so this and everything else will get answered soon, I promise 🤞🏽

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Probably possessive behaviour or protectiveness, mainly because I'm writing about the Mikaelsons. But, I do enjoy these tropes, and then changing the power dynamics later on.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

Um, hmm...world building 🤔 Maybe in Make It Holy, Mystic Falls in 1919 was quite difficult to plan out, all the characters and all. Every character except Klaus and Elena is technically an OC at this point. But I'm especially looking forward to the world building in New Orleans in 1919, because it's a mixed bag of canon characters and OCs.

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?

Kidnapping lol. I didn't exactly dislike it, but I wasn't very fond of this trope, but I think writing Klaus/Elena in particular has opened me up to it, to the point that I definitely see it as a very useful plot device to both further the action and add tension.

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?

Best friends to lovers maybe, I used to be a fan of it before, but I'm not now. While I understand that a lot of people like the strangers -> friends -> lovers situation, I just don't understand unless there's some sort of identity crisis that one of the characters have.

14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?

Toxic/abusive relationships. It's great when the author is using it to show a characters arc, and are aware of what they're writing, but a lot of fics that I've read in the past romanticise toxic relationships, which I cannot read. I actually love reading about romance and love existing within a toxic dynamic that either the author/characters are actively trying to better or even where the characters are stuck in a cycle, as long as it isn’t presented as ‘right’. But that's different than romanticising abusive behaviour.

In my experience, very few authors understand the difference and the nuance, so I stick to people I know.

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

The Monster In Her Mind. It was an extremely difficult fic for me to write, I think it was the first time I'd written in present tense, and it was extremely triggering. There are graphic, if brief, depictions of rape in it, and I actually reached a point where I couldn't physically write more of it. There is also so much violence and grief in it that I don't think I would've been able to complete it if I hadn't written it in one sitting.

It definitely made me realise that I can write in present tense, if I want, although I do still prefer past tense. I also know that I can write about sensitive topics if I want. But mainly it taught me that while fiction is fiction, sometimes there are certain topics, that as a writer, I must handle with the utmost care, because it can be so easy to make small of a very real, very serious issue.

38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?

The Monsters In Her Heart and the Monster series in general actually. I honestly thought I’d get hate for it. Instead I have never received such response on any of my other works, and it means the absolute world to me.

I couldn't be more grateful, because it is an extremely important and personal story to me, and the fact that anyone would read it despite how triggering it is, and then take out the time of their day to discuss it with me is everything to me. I'm not sure about the popularity, but as long as it touches someone and helps them, it's worth it for me.

45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

A lot, prose, grammar, the flow of a story, plot, foreshadowing. I've learnt a lot while writing fic, which is the most important thing to me. To be better than yesterday, and while I wouldn't call myself great by any means, I know how much it's taken for me to improve, and that's all that matters.

Thank you so much for such amazing questions Q! You’re incredible ❤️

From the emoji ask game, 😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers? (i already know the answer to this *holds your fic bazooka in the air*) & 🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride? & 🛠 What tools/programs/apps do you use to write? & ✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers? (i already know the answer to this *holds your fic bazooka in the air*)

Ooooh, I think a lot of the ficlets that I post inspired by @elejah-wonderland's amazing work are exactly that. I'm here to crush your heart and also make you happy at the end of the day.

Probably in Queen of the Highway, anytime Elena spent time with Elijah while Klaus was off misbehaving was playfully mean. They just have such good chemistry that even writing it, I wanted them to just be together.

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

The Obsessed one. It is so far outside anything I've ever written or posted. Each time I get ready to post a chapter I think to myself "forgive me for I have sinned".

I hope Throne will be pretty wild though not in the same way. The ending of the current arc I'm working on is something else an Marcel will be doing something I hope feels unpredictable.

🛠 What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

Just word. Throne has a spreadsheet of timelines and events. Things that are happening in Mystic Falls so I can keep track of that mentally while Elena is in New Orleans.

But mostly, I just write vague outlines in Word and parse them out over several chapters and write.

I do like to highlight different scenes in different colors when I'm editing. I find it helps to focus on one thing at a time that way. And then I un-highlight when I'm "done"

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

I feel like I'm pretty good at conveying emotions while I write? Also, describing scenes that are/can be horrific.

Thank you!

Hey Jab! I hope you’re doing well!

I was wondering to myself — who do you find more scary, Palpatine or Snoke?

For me, personally, I hate Palpatine for the things he’s done. But Snoke is just… unnerving. He wormed his way into Ben when he was in Leia’s womb. He kidnapped billions of children from across the galaxy and conscripted them as soldiers. I get that Palpatine had an indirect hand in blowing up Alderaan, but Snoke just decided to take out an entire star system. Plus, Palpatine was a Sith and Snoke wasn’t, he was a servant of the Dark Side of the Force and, I don’t know, that terrifies even me even more than Palpatine.

One thing I’ve also noticed, that is, the pattern that Palpatine and Snoke break Anakin and Ben. Palpatine manipulated Anakin and reshaped him to his own needs, Snoke just fucked Ben up and was using him as a sort of a proxy to access the Skywalker potential. (Could you add on your analysis/thoughts for this?)

What do you think?

Hey Quinn!!! I’m doing pretty well. A bit tired, but eh, that’s nothing new for me 😆

I’m not sure if I find one more scary than the other, both Palpatine and Snoke are terrifying in their own ways. I think for me, what terrifies me most about Palpatine is that he had such control over so much and so many people. He influenced so many people to do his bidding, or manipulating them to react a certain way that was beneficial to him and his plans (I’m thinking of Padmé here, in TPM). I think he always would’ve created his Galactic Empire with or without Anakin, but gleefully took advantage of Anakin from the very moment he met him, as a 9 year old. I have no doubt that he was attracted to Anakin’s strength in the Force and went after him because of that.

I think the attraction that Palpatine had of Anakin’s power in the Force is mirrored(?) (I don’t know if that’s the right word for it) by Snoke and his manipulation of Ben. I think Snoke and Palpatine are very very similar in their attraction to that Skywalker power in the Force. I think that Snoke was a lot more subtle compared to Palpatine in the way he manipulated his victim.

The Jedi Order, or the Jedi Council at the very least, had gotten to a point where they did not trust Palpatine one bit by the last year or so of the Clone Wars. But knew that they couldn’t act until they knew without a doubt the kind of monster Palpatine was.

Do I think they knew Palpatine was a Sith Lord, THE Sith Lord that they were all looking for? No. Not necessarily.

Although, I don’t think Mace Windu was all that surprised when Anakin told him in ROTS. And I really don’t think that Palpatine was all that subtle with his manipulation of Anakin. He didn’t need to be. The Jedi Order (and the Republic Senate) had stagnated, and he took advantage of their inaction/inability to do anything quick enough to protect the Jedi under their care.

Snoke, on the other hand, got control of Ben by slithering into his mind and manipulating his thoughts, etc.. since he was really young. (I need to look it up because I don’t know if it’s my own headcanon, or if it’s confirmed in one of the Sequel Era comics, but I always thought that Snoke had gotten into Ben’s head before he was even born — I mean, how terrifying and heartbreaking is that?!) I don’t know if anyone in the New Republic even knew he existed until the First Order was making significant moves in the Outer Rim and Unknown Regions.
