set fire to my cold heart
a saebyeong (squid game) story
Rating: Teen
Word count: 3.4k
Excerpt:
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a girl who looked around her age, sitting alone in a booth, fiddling with a card between her fingers. She looked lost in her own thoughts, the bottle of soju in front of her was probably warm and no longer fizzy.
She was pretty in a girl-next-door kind of way and exactly the type of girl that would not get involved with someone from the North for any reason. Still, Saebyeok wondered if she was okay, if she could smooth the frown on her face, if she’d accept a drink from Saebyeok.
A man walked to her table, sliding a bottle of beer her way. Apparently, she didn’t know the man, as she looked around when the man said something to her, her eyes locking with Saebyeok’s for a second too long, clearly uncomfortable.
“Minyeo, bring me two bottles of soju,” she said, without thinking.
“Are we partying tonight?”
“Just bring the drinks, Minyeo.”
“So cold,” she reached under the bar to where they kept the drinks. “You know, men don’t like cold women,” Minyeo said, putting both bottles in front of her.
Good, Saebyeok thought.

I love killing game fics where they make it out alive. like. it's not fix it, because all those fucked up things definitely still happened, and instead of getting to die they have to live with the trauma. but they get to live. they get to try again. they did horrible things and horrible things happened to them, and still, they get to try again.

20 questions for fic writers
tagged by @chocochipbiscuit! thanks for the opportunity to ramble at length
tagging @acerinky @bothzangetsus @pretty-rage-machine @metamatar @leksaa90 @rose-gardens @liesmyth @themorikelife and anyone else who wants to join in! (template at the end)
answers below:
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
about 45, across my two accounts
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
~130,000 words across > 3.5 years
3. what fandoms do you write for?
used to be monofannish, but I began branching out after joining the multifandom exchanges scene (aka BFE).
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
sidewalk reinventions [nimona (2023), gen]
the runaround [SNK, pieck/yelena]
blood to gold [SNK, pieck/hange]
more than a grain of sand [SNK, mikasa/annie]
small foreign faction [SNK, pieck/yelena]
a different picture emerges when I sort these by top fics from 5 different fandoms:
sidewalk reinventions [nimona (2023), gen]
the runaround [SNK, pieck/yelena]
the crimson cusp of evening [JJK, gojo/geto]
docile, unkind, fraught [the locked tomb, harrowhark/ianthe]
the sun coming out [squid game, jiyeong/saebyeok]
5. do you respond to comments?
in short: yes, but it can take months (or - I'm looking at years now) due to real life.
sometimes I prefer to 'reply' by reading and commenting on commenters' fic in turn since it's easier for me to gush about others' writing than my own; this is also a partly a matter of self-consciousness, because it (personally!) feels narcissistic for me to talk on about my own fic in comments.
6. what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
plenty of fic I write is angsty, but I usually mix even total darkness with slants of hope or more often ambiguity. you rarely get a pure distillation of atmospheres or tones in my fic, by design or not. (I'm not super married to labels like 'angst' or fluff either because they’re convenient but can also be limiting and/or simplified boxing-in categories.) the fiercest calm or to walk along the edge probably takes the cake, however.
7. whats the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
the sun coming out.
8. do you get hate on fics?
no, luckily! i'm an unknown name but it also means I rarely attract unwanted attention.
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
for sure. if you know my side account (which isn't much of a secret), you'll know exactly what kind. I'm transparent and unashamed of my id and like to revel in it. let's just say I like power dynamics, complicated and unconventional queer relationships, and older women.
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
no :(
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that I'm aware of!
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
yes, and it's always flattering. <3 both my pieck/hange fics got translated into chinese: 从鲜血到黄金(blood to gold) and 和缓的修复(the slow mending).
I've translated Chinese fic into english and knowing what the translation process is like from the opposite direction, I'd consider my fic a translator's nightmare, so I'm grateful if anyone makes the attempt. I’ve read the translations and been amazed by the artistry, the linguistic agility in them. the translator was really skilled at carried across the nuances of the original text and adapted to differences in linguistic norms.
this might be cringe, but to quote an example (from the slow mending):
the original:
A fully uncharted ground. There’s no script for this, for a reconciliation between an erstwhile commander and a Warrior. But a meaningfulness to it all the same, perhaps: that here, at the world’s end, the ruins of everything they know, they can still reinvent themselves, and what they mean to each other—not as a clean slate, not as a forgettance of the past, but a desire to make something new of its wreckage.
[…]
Out upon the rudderless horizon, the sun is flaring like a wildfire, a thousand years’ worth of fury braided into its light. But they might survive this, after all: Hange feels hopeful, for the first time in a while.
and the translations:
这是一片全新之地。关于帕拉迪亚的指挥官与马莱战士的和解，完全没有既定的剧本。但这一切也许都有意义：在这里，在世界的尽头，在一切的废墟上，他们仍然可以重塑自己，以及他��对彼此的意义——不是纯白的新地基，不是作为对过去的遗忘，而是在残骸中创造新事物的热切希望。
[…]
在漫无边际的地平线上，太阳像野火般地燃烧着，光线中编入了千年的愤怒。但她们也许都能活下来：这段时间以来的第一次，韩吉感到了希望。
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
no, and I might be open to it if time and energy weren’t limiting factors.
14. whats your all-time favorite ship?
I'm a major multishipper and this is hard to answer. at the moment -- this is cheating because it's a gen relationship, not a ship -- zenin mai & zenin maki.
15. what's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
perhaps my pieck/yelena cosmic horror WIP, and other SNK ones (ymir/historia, pieck/hange) -- I'm not attached much to SNK any more.
16. what are your writing strengths?
i've joked that 80% of comments of my fic will invariably include one of these words: gorgeous, poetic, beautiful. the runners-up are 'incisive' and 'sharp'. this sounds braggy; I'm always flattered, and I'm just listing these because I think those are the immediate data points at hand for my strengths.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
dialogue, immediacy, and uh... this sounds glib, but tropey plots. plot in general. writing anything that cuts to the quick; my style tends to be somewhat repressed. writing long(ish) fic; my longest wordcount stands at 8.8k.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've done this (for a fic for Zen Cho's Black Water Sister), for Hokkien, Bahasa Melayu, and Manglish. in line with the author’s original choice I avoided giving any glossaries or explanations. plenty of readers in the global south infer the meaning of foreign words/brand in Anglo-American settings all the time, from context. who’s to say the reverse can’t be done? I’m also not a fan of italicising foreign words and try to do the opposite: italicising English words instead. neither do I really enjoy any arguments that foreign media should be localized for Anglo-American palates; I prefer when something is specific to a culture instead of universalised, even if it may come off weird or incomprehensible.
romanisation’s a different matter. I’m fine with romanised dialogue for Malay and Japanese but with Chinese romanised dialogue (via hanyu pinyin) can be harder to parse — I’m fluent in Chinese and used to reading in Hanzi. this changes, of course, with dialects or other writing norms.
in the Chinese media/fiction I’ve read where English dialogue is what’s foreign instead, writers have written English dialogue wholesale (as in, in English words) without translating it into Chinese or translated it into Chinese.
I’m from an ex-British colony in Southeast Asia and how dialogue is conveyed and handled is one of those things that can indicate right away an author’s biases and assumed cultural defaults. even reading fic set in my or other southeast Asian countries by diaspora writers can feel strange if foreign dialogue (among other elements) is Pointed Out and made into an event; I prefer when many things that would be the default in people’s milieu here and simply baked into people’s worldviews can be written and let to pass without comment. in Black Water Sister my one petty comment is that the (Malaysian Chinese-American) main character’s initial cluelessness in Malaysia was jarring (and stereotypical), but I get that that’s part of the premise (and it was handled smoothly after). and of course, the universal bromide applies. no media ever has to cater to my taste, she typed in jest.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
snk/attack on titan.
20. favorite fic you've ever written?
hard to answer because i love most of the ones I've written for multifandom exchanges but some of my favourites are the sun coming out, a map of the broken world, and lantern-black, the pitch of light.
(not a coincidence perhaps that 2 of these were written for @bothzangetsus!)

fanfic author self-recs
thank you @chocochipbiscuit for tagging me - this was a delightful challenge! tagging @rose-gardens @mikbates @pretty-rage-machine @mariaaxescallop @leksaa90 @ostreatus @minoan-ophidian and anyone else who’d like to do this.
diving in, my five:
1) the sun coming out (Jiyeong/Kang Saebyeok) - Squid Game: wrote this for a lovely recip in an exchange, who liked/wanted post-canon fic. in practice I like exploring aftermaths & fix-its where people’s road(s) to happiness still have to be worked for and not every kink’s been smoothed out, and this fic is a prime example of that for me.
alternative tldr: “LOOK at the parallels between jiyeong and saebyeok. LOOK at them” fic complete with cooking and partial recovery. I’m deeply lucky my recip enabled my, uh, runaway domestic jiyeong/saebyeok aspirations and the latitude to write all that. <3
2) the slow mending (Pieck/Hange) - Shingeki no Kyojin: wrote this for a prescient friend -- my concept line was something like... political & historical differences patched through the good old reliable tactic of learning to read, understand, and trust your enemies. I’m still fond of this bit:
So Hange, conscious of historical precedence—what they have both usually done to each other in encounters like this, her titan’s gravestone teeth in Shiganshina and their aggression in Liberio—tries something new instead. They clasp her clean hand in theirs, and draw it close against their face. At the sensation of the contact-burn, her elevated shifter heat kissing their fingers, Hange very gently presses their lips to her hand.
3) to walk along the edge (Pieck/Annie) - Shingeki no Kyojin: this was a sophomore fic; some parts induce the facepalm emoji now, but I’m also surprised by how well certain parts hold up, and I think of this in some ways as a magnum opus.
despite the heavy subject matter and unhappy ending, I’ve been told this fic is comforting, and that humbles me. I sometimes find sad and bittersweet stories more comforting than staunchly happy ones myself; whether consciously or not, I think my writing here came from that same place.
4) blood to gold (Pieck/Hange) - Shingeki no Kyojin: looking back now this fic set up all my Classic Hits like, grief/mourning, hope amidst bleakness, thoughtful narrative voices, and so on. I wrote this shortly after reading the widely circulated essay Against the Logic of the Guillotine. I still like these lines:
Vengeance feels like a guillotine—an entity that wants justice to be served with a swift, purifying cut. Let history renew itself on a clean slate free of enemies.
5) the centre cannot hold (genfic; Hitch & Annie) - SNK: situational horror! missing scenes! stoic characters having said stoicism eroded! the slippage of time and memory; writing this was a blast.
