#thank you for recommending my fic eeee
Note
questions for fics writers; 11., 14., 48. :3c
Eeee thank you pal! Answering these very cool writing asks.
Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?
I like my rarepairs and I like my villains! I also like to make the fandom blorbo morally dubious, ha. In BG3 I really, really enjoy Gale, and love putting him with all kinds of people.
Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?
I'm terrible at knowing what are fandom tropes but AUs have to be from trusted writers to me. I only like kidfic from certain writers who understand the nuance of the characters and kids, if that makes sense? And childhood sweethearts, again only from a trusted creator who understands what that dynamic adds. I'm the opposite of a lot of people I guess ha, I only trust sweet concepts in the hands of people who really understand the character dynamics.
What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
I feel like a broken record because the last fic I read was Storm Warning's new chapter! And YEAH I RECOMMEND IT HAHT DAMN! Before that it was Respite by @plethomacademia but again I'm biased because it builds on some Gale/Lae'zel/Shadowheart stuff me and @smoreofbabylon were thinking of so of course I'm going to like it, great writer and a concept I'm actively interested in!

fic rec anon here! ty for the recommendations :] I read the fics and aughhhh im even more hooked now akdjsoxjs all the artists are *chef's kiss* amazing the brain rot truly has reached its peak
just coming in here to say once again that your bushmedicine slow burn is sooooo good augh <3 <3 I finally caught up to the latest fic of the series
its like you're twisting a knife in my heart excruciatingly slowly and the pining and yearning between these two is SOOO good waugh (PLEASE draw out the yearning more i love the building of their relationship and repressed internal dilemas akdhskdhdoah no pressure of course)
once again, I hope when you eat your favorite dish, it'll be the best it has ever been :]
YAAAY ^__^ mission complete... we got em my friends... we bring the bushmed!! HEHEHE i'm so happy to hear that!! ^v^ <333
AND EEEE THANK YOUUUU ;__; <333 i'm literally SO excited that you feel that way, i know my fic series is quite long so i'm always afraid people are like oh jeez fuck that when they see how long it is SKDFKSDK... i'm so glad you feel that way!! ^_^ i'll always talk about it too but i just feel annoying when i do sdflmsdkfm.., trying to overcome that! but your asks make me SO happy you have no idea!! ;__; <333
i'm not sure if you use tumblr a lot, and if you've seen this stuff please forgive me! but you can also check out some of my tags:
a bushmed aesthetic tag for things i think suit them
a thou giveth fever tag for wips, musings/asks about the series, and more!
my personal medic/sniper tag with everything i've ever posted about them in it, like headcanons, asks, and so on!
a tag full of fun ask games that i always encourage my followers to send me numbers from (just tell me what post!) that i'll happily fill out for medic and sniper anytime!
you can also, as you know, always send me asks about them, my fic series, anything you want! i always love hearing from fellow bushmed enjoyers!! ;u; <333
AND OHOHOO don't worry... i still have Many Plans for beloved medic and sniper... >:) i'd say at this point right now, the current fic i'm posting is probably the like... halfway-ish mark, leaning Slightly closer to the end... but we're still nowhere near the conclusion! HEHEHEHE... at the rate i'm writing, my beloved readers will have weekly bushmed fic updates for the next few months, if i can keep going at the pace i have been!! ^v^
about loving the pining... absolutely! i feel the same. i think it can work really well for both of these mercs specifically too, since sniper is so used to being repressed and has to learn to put himself out there, and medic is so used to being so abrupt and up front that he has to learn to be a bit more sensitive to others (and not just when it suits him!)... the feelings are there, but is the communication?, and so on...
i've said it before but i think true love is when people come together and feel something for one another and work at that relationship.. (nothing against soulmates stuff or anything ofc) but i just prefer to portray love how i feel/see/perceive it, which is something Tender between people who are flawed but what they feel is Real... and i also think that romance is what You define it as and it's just as beautiful and varied as love itself! :') which as i'm sure you've gleaned is also a huge part of my series!
we still have quite a bit of time left on our journey together my friend... you need'nt worry.... i won't spoil anything, but things are going to get.... complicated.... HEEEHEE >:)c
#asks#anonymous#HEHEEHE#thou giveth fever#AGOUAGOUAAA IM LITERALLY SOOOO EXCITED TO POST MOOOORE IVE BEEN WAITING SOOOO LONG TO GET TO POSTING THIS PART OF MY SERIES A:SDLFAMDLAMSDF

(3) Aside from your two MVPs, I need to give a shoutout to the way you write Celes, because you made me enjoy her so much more! (8) What always has me in awe is that you are extremely good with darker material inside and out - you take even a little of that and you just make it so much more gripping and terrifying. (10) I feel like the Tofu and most minor ships could go here, because I certainly didn't think much beyond the most popular ones, and then you took me there, and now Tofu especially is inseparable from you! :D (13) I remember recommending you here and there when dangans were mentioned, and very rightfully! (15) This is more of a general question, but I wanna ask! Do you have like, little rituals or exercises you do to get "into character" for your writing? For example, when you wanna write about Hagakure, is there anything you do beforehand to kinda tap into that good ol' Hagakure flavor?
EEEE thank you! ; w ; Celes is fun to write. And I'm happy to hear that I do dark material well. TogaFuka is my heart and like. there is so much to do with them. It's a quiet fanbase so usually it's up to me to make the content I want for it myself. Other times the rest of the fandom's takes annoy me so I write certain fics to combat them (time loop fic for example).
If I'm not very familiar with a character (sdr2 cast for example), I sometimes go to the wikia to read quotes to try to get their voice but there are some characters that I can just pull out of me. Hagakure is one of them.

rephrasing the recent ask. what are some good LITG blogs to follow?
Hey! Thank you for getting back to me. Now to answer your questions, I’ve got tons of recommendations! I thought I could make this a part 2, but I can’t seem part 1. So I hope you don’t mind if I go on a rant here. In no particular order, here’s a list of mutuals:
@gin-o-clock → I’m gonna start with, have you taken a look at their content. They make beautiful pieces and they’re just a wholesome person.
@sailorpleiades → Ok, ok. Hands down they have me tied into this awesome Lucas fic called Dealbreaker and if it’s not enough that I loved them a bit more for that.
@kittidot → Intimidated at first by their awesomeness, I fell in love with their writing. They’re amazing and then they wrote about Tim and they became whatever is better than amazing.
@ariendiel → Ok the history and science nerd of me just clicked with them. And then they wrote their Noah periodic piece (Rosehill House) and I was gone.
@codename-mango → Bro, their art is amazing. Their latest Total Drama-esque pieces of the Islanders are gold.
@daisybarks → If you plan to read some amazing fics, go here. They have this amazing Jake vs. Bobby one that’s got me biting my nails. And here I was trying to stop a bad habit.
@longbobmckenzie → I haven’t completely read all their material (they have a pirate Bobby one *eeee*). But Whiskey and Scotch was *chef’s kiss*.
@hopeshoodie → Hands down have the best content and memes that have me dying or thinking. Not sure which one I appreciate more.
@itsrealityboo → I love hearing their thoughts on all things Love Island from them. They really had me caught up in all my Rahim feels.
@lasswithumor → I don’t care if I’m incorrect, but they’re the blog you want to go for Carl content. You must know that that on its own is rare. I love her Carl content and Carleah is such a pair.
@lookingforsomethingcuzimbored → You’ve gotta go here for their content and you can most definitely get awesome suggestions on other content to look at. I’m always creeping on their page to see what’s good. They coincidentally have me hook on a new interactive fic. (Thank you by the way for being an awesome person overall.)
@notasdryapricots → They’ve got me staying on this Lucas ship alongside @sailorpleiades and I’m okay with that.
@nerdferatum → Besides being the reason I gave art another try and all their amazing support, I suggest you meet this wonderful human being. Oh, and don’t you forget to give their content a hearts up. An amazing artist who I love to commission.
@ravenadottir → Mira, my cousin knows they were gonna be on this list simply because they're the ones who’s kept me in this fandom. Seriously, they've indulged my love for ships that didn’t have any content and they've made some for it. Plus, if you need some season 2 extras, they've got you covered.
@crvsh-culture → let’s be honest, they alongside my cuz have help me stay strong during those dry love island content months. Like have you seen their content. Plus, they’re just the bestest person out there.
@smaiihands → Bruv, take a look at their art and their content and tell me that it doesn’t make you want to get them a job at fb. Lol. I hope they take that as a compliment.
@simonsmontjoy → I know you said litg, but I’m telling you that their choices fic with Bryce was gold. So their Bobby vs. Lucas fic is beyond gold. Is diamond better? Or should I say it’s all about the Moissanite? Go check out Whiskey on Your Lips.
@sunshinejihyun → All I’m gonna say about Bryn is that she’s written some content that’s made me cry and soft. I hate crying and being soft, lol, but she’s good. Like gooood. Now, I’m gonna go and hide before she tells me to shut up.
@theclowneryqueen → Once again, I’m gonna sound like a broken record but they’ve definitely have awesome content. They’ve got Love Island and for those wondering about for Lovelink, they’ve got some of that too.
@voile-de-lune → Last, but certainly not least l, bruv I’m left in shock when I even go their page. Their beautiful pieces of art leave me like those cartoons with heart eye expressions.
Apologies to everyone and anyone who didn’t want to be tagged. Also, please know that there’s tons of other people. I don’t mean to exclude anyone. I’d take my recommendations and travel from there.

Draco was crying.
Or, at least, someone was. The gasps coming from just a wall away were apparent, but Y/N could hear a voice that didn’t quite sound like Draco--which had to be a trick of the mind, because there could be no one in there but him.
She rapped on the door against her better judgement to be met with a flurry of movement--fabric rustling, and a soft pop that echoed through the air.
“Draco? Are you alright in there?”
Y/N found herself wishing that he wouldn’t open the door. After the Homecoming ask, the last thing she wanted was to see his stupid pretty face again, but she was a good host sister. Emphasis on sister.
To her shock, the door swung open. Just a few inches, just enough for her to see the pile of black shredded paper in the middle of his room and a drained looking Draco glaring back at her.
“Can I help you?” His once pristine white shirt was gray in some places, like he had rubbed ashes on it.
“I just thought--did you burn something?”
“No. What is it?”
She looked at him a bit closer. His eyes didn’t look red rimmed with the dead giveaway of a crying session, but they looked close. The furrow in his brow was from worry instead of his usual sternness and he kept nervously pulling down at his left sleeve.
Draco wasn’t crying, but he was about to.
“I…” There was something deeply unsettling about seeing Draco so uncollected and fidgety--almost like seeing a fish out of water or an American conservative with an adequate understanding of class struggles.The air was charged with something yet again, so much so that Y/N could feel the hair on her arms stand up. She decided to avoid damaging his masculinity any further. “Nothing. It just smelled a little like smoke. I wanted to make sure you weren’t burning a candle or anything. You know how my mom is about that.”
He continued to stare at her.
“Would you like me to leave you alone?”
“Please.”
Well, that was embarrassing thought Y/N as she made her way back down the hall and to her backpack. I get rejected twice in one day. Smooth.
The days following were profoundly more uncomfortable. Breakfasts became uncomfortably akin to the Silent Game and Draco stopped coming out for tea in the evenings. The drives to and from school were decorated only by occasional bits of small talks or grumbles of exams. In short, Y/N knew that she had overstepped a boundary and Draco was pulling back.
School had finally become crazy. Y/N’s life became so entrenched with letters of recommendation and 200 word supplements that the Draco shaped hole in her life was bearable. After all, she was fine before he came, and she was fine now. She’d been silly, allowing herself to fantasize about a kid with some serious trauma and family issues that clearly had personal things that handle before he thought about getting all cozy with someone who was not in the slightest compatible with him. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
oOo
If someone turned a glass of whole milk into a human, that person would be Chad. He was the poster child of an “American” boy--tall, warm blonde hair, slightly tanned skin, and cornflower blue eyes.
But his personality? Not so much.
“My beloved husband!” Y/N called out as she saw him speaking to her mother in the foyer while Draco glowered in the corner. She bounded down the stairs in record time, leaping into his arms as her strappy heels swung from her hands. He smelled of cotton and laundry detergent.
“Hey nerd,” he said, swinging her around in a circle before setting her down. “Did you finish the Econ homework? I was hoping I could take a picture before I leave…”
Y/N drew back to smack him on the shoulder. “You disgust me.”
“You abuse me.”
“And I’ll do it again,” said Y/N. She had forgotten how funny he was.
“Oh, you two,” Mrs. Y/L/N cut in, stepping between the two and pressing the boutonnière into Y/N’s hands. “Always bickering like a married couple.”
Lizzy snorted from the top of the stairs where she was struggling to stuff a light jacket into her purse. “Hot take.”
“Hold still,” commanded Y/N, holding the pin and attempting to attach it to his lapel. “I’m literally going to accidentally stab you. Cut it out.”
He made a face down at her. “Do it. You won’t.”
“Oh? I won’t?”
“Y/N,” Mrs. Y/L/N’s exasperated voice warned.
“I’ll refrain, but only because the rug we’re standing on was my Grandmother’s,” Y/N said to him, her voice dripping with sweetness. “Consider yourself lucky that you’re not on the tile.”
“I’ve never been more thankful that my late grandmother-in-law had such impeccable taste.”
“Suck up.”
“Oh, because you’re such a rebel.”
“It’s called motivation!”
“Honey, I want a divor-”
“For Christ’s sake, stop flirting or I’m going to puke,” a cool voice cut in. The group turned to see Sylvia standing in the doorway, clad in a flowing black dress that just barely ghosted over the top of the floor.
“You look radiant, darling,” Mrs. Y/L/N said.
“And we weren’t flirting,” said Y/N.
Sylvia sent her a little wink before walking to sit down on the couch across from Draco, who was currently perched cross legged and looking profoundly uncomfortable.
Sylvia, Lizzy, and their dates all opted to take Lizzy’s car to the city while Chad, Y/N, and Draco took Chad’s. The plan was to drop Draco off at the school with ample time to prepare him for the uniquely traumatic experience that was ASB sanctioned after school events, and to the plan they stuck.
“Yeah, go ahead and treat me like your chauffeur, “ scoffed Chad as Y/N slid into the backseat next to Draco. The sports car was surprisingly narrow with hardly any space between them. If she wanted to, she could easily rest her thigh against his.
“It’s called being polite, dear,” said Y/N, flicking the back of his head before turning to face Draco. “You’re really gonna commit to this? Major props, but, like...you really don’t have to go to this if you don’t want to. You can even stay home. I know how to sneak you back in.”
Draco rolled his eyes. “I’m here for the American experience, right?”
“Hate to break it to you, but there is no uniform American experience. It’s all personalized, and I don’t know if you want yours to be seasoned with 14 year olds T-posing in a circle to...I don’t even know. Chad, what kind of music do they play at those places?”
“Fuck if I know. I don’t go to them either.”
“It’s fine. I told Heather I’d be there.”
“Ooookay, whatever you say,” Y/N said.
They rode in silence for a few more beats. The wind outside was uncharacteristically strong for an early October day, and it looked like a storm was brewing. In their rush to get to the dance on time, they had neglected to take precaution against the wind and ran outside to Chad’s car without a second thought. Draco’s suit, while posh and put together, had clearly bore the brunt of this choice. His tie had become slightly rumpled and his hair mussed, a look that was all types of wrong on him.
“Draco?” she asked. He snapped to attention. “Your tie is all undone. Can I…?” Y/N motioned to his neck.
Wide-eyed and frozen, he met her with, “er...sure.”
Y/N leaned forward, trying to think past how her thighs were just barely touching his. Her corsage (a tasteful red, thank you very much) bumped against his chest, flattening a bit. She wasn’t very familiar with ties--she’d never had to be in her past experiences--but whatever his was made of, it was expensive. The fabric felt silky and impossibly smooth in her hand as she carefully untied it.
Chad took a sharp turn into the school drop off lot, prompting Y/N to nearly topple into Draco’s chest. His arms shot out to steady her and retracted so quickly that she was left wondering if she imagined the whole ordeal.
“So it’s true,” said Chad from the front. “Nerds do have bad upper body strength.”
“Shut up,” she responded. Her cheeks felt unbearably hot as she tried her best to focus on tightening Draco’s tie and ignore the fact that she was close enough to smell his cologne--a soft pine, she observed--and feel the shadow of his breath on her face. His hands were clasped together lap, tight enough to turn the knuckles white.
It was an odd feeling, getting butterflies in her stomach while she was touching a boy that wasn’t her date as Chad careened towards a parking spot and pulled in so violently that Y/N almost went sprawling into Draco again. She looked up at him, getting ready to crack a joke about the absurdity of the situation or the questionable driving; instead, she found herself staring up into his eyes.
His normally pale eyes looked darker than usual--his pupils were insanely dilated--but that was because it was dark in the car. Obviously. Out of the corner of her eye, Y/N could see his chest rising and falling with an urgency that she hadn’t noticed before.
“Do you want me to uh..fix your...your hair, too?” Y/N said, mentally cringing at how she stumbled over the sentence. To be fair, his hair was ruffled and out of place. It wasn’t like she was making an excuse to touch it or anything.
To that, Draco jerked away from her, his back brushing up against the opposite car door. “No. No, it’s ok. I’ll fix it myself.”
Y/N was sure that her face was tomato red.
“Alright buckaroo,” Chad said from the front, his nonchalant demeanor never more appreciated. “Your hot date is here. Get out of my car. We have a busy day of antiquing ahead.”
Any semblance of casualness left Draco’s body as his eyes widened. “Antiquing?”
“Yeah, remember the place I took you to right after you came here?” asked Y/N.
“Er...don’t you have anything better to do?”
“Excuse me?” She sat up straight so quickly that she felt her hair come slightly undone at the nape of her neck. “That’s rich, coming from the kid going to a school dance as a senior.”
“It’s probably not going to even be open. It’ll be late by the time dinner’s over,” he said.
“Since when do you care? Honestly, quit acting weird,” Y/N responded, scootching away from him as he made no effort to get out of the car.
“I’m not--it’s--erm, nevermind, forget about it.” He cleared his throat, straightened his tie, and brushed off his lapels. “Heather must be waiting for me. Goodbye.”
After a little struggle, Draco managed to best the slightly confusing door handle of Chad’s car and was out the door. Y/N slid across the seat and out with him, shutting the door and grabbing the handle for the passenger side.
“Y/N?” Draco’s voice called before she had the chance to fully get in and tell Chad to book it.
“What’s up?”
He took a few steps forward, pausing just a couple feet away from her. His eyes were cast to the rain puddle ridden cement. “Promise me you won’t do anything stupid, okay?”
“I should be telling you that, king,” Y/N quipped. “Your first real American dance. If you go to any after parties, make sure to watch your drink. Don’t take any substances from strangers--or, anyone, really--”
“Y/N, he’s not a chick.” Chad, his hands still perched on the steering wheel, turned to peer out at her. “He’ll be fine. I think they have beer in Britain.”
“Well, whatever. Have Heather text me if I need to pick you up anywhere. And don’t get in any cars with someone who’s been drinking!”
“Y/N!”
“Ok, ok, I’m coming.” She slid into the car, turning one last time to say bye. Draco was already gone. “Only if I drive.”
oOo
“So Heather and Draco, huh?”
Y/N scowled at Lizzy as she speared a piece of her salad particularly viciously. “I don’t know if it’s like that. I think he’s just being polite, or whatever. I think British people are just like that.”
“Why are we even talking about that boy?” Chad asked. “He’s got that whole Timothée Chalamet dying Victorian toddler aesthetic if Timothée was blonde and had a perpetual stick up his ass.”
“In a hot way, though,” said Lizzy, her eyebrows wiggling. Jonathan scowled at her side. “Oh, don’t be so jealous. As if I’d ever go for a kid who doesn’t even know what Snapchat is.”
“I don’t understand what Heather sees in him,” Chad continued, his fettuccine plate long forgotten. “He’s got the personality of a wet rag, and she’s so bubbly and...I don’t even know. Do you guys get what I mean?”
“Draco’s got personality,” said Y/N.
“Not like Heather.”
“It’s not his fault he’s reserved. He’s actually really funny.”
“And that’s what I like to call rose-tinted glasses,” Chad said, gently poking her cheek.
“Hey! I’m the one who lives with him.”
“Whatever. Let’s just call for the bill. I’m not hungry anymore.” Chad folded up his napkin, placing it on top of the tablecloth and ignoring Y/N’s protest as he got out his wallet and placed a credit card on the table. “It’s on me, guys. You know how my parents are. They’re just happy that we’re all getting together again instead of holing up in our rooms.”
“Thank god junior year is over,” Sylvia added. “That’s really kind of you. At least let me get the tip?”
As the group bickered over the payment options and flagged down the waiter, Y/N noticed her phone lighting up with a notification.
Heather, 6.48pm: Hey girly! Sorry to bug you on your night but Draco wanted to check in and ask where you guys are/what you’re planning on doing tonight.
“Who’s that?” Chad asked, looking down at the little paragraph in the gray message bubble.
“Just Heather. Draco wants to know what we’re doing. Probably because he’s realizing how sucky dances really are and is about to beg us to come pick him up.”
He snorted. “Yeah. Poor kid.”
Y/N typed out a quick “we just finished dinner and are heading to the antique place now. lmk if i need to pick him up earlier” and tucked her phone away in her purse. As much as she resented it, she couldn’t help but wish that Draco wanted to join them instead.
“Are you guys ready to beat it and hit up that antique place?” Marvin, Sylvia’s date, asked. She rolled her eyes and sent him a lazy smile.
“You sound like a dad.”
“Off like a herd of turtles, baby,” Y/N offered, gathering her things as they made their way out the restaurant door. “Not gonna lie, this place doesn’t show up on Google Maps or anything. I think I know how to get there but none of you guys are allowed to make fun of me if I take too many wrong turns.”
“No promises,” said Chad, winking down at her and giving her shoulder a little squeeze.
As they walked, it became profoundly obvious that Chad and Y/N were the only two who weren’t officially an item. Lizzy and Jonathon were walking hand in hand while Sylvia and Marvin whispered in each others’ ears when they had to wait for crosswalk signals. While she had great chemistry with Chad, nothing ever felt real with him. It always felt like an act.
Perhaps the tension between them was because of that one time they kissed and never talked about it again in freshman year after a particularly nerve wracking competitive math round before she quit--something that she wasn’t exactly going to shout off the rooftops for the masses to hear. Or maybe because he pushed her away right after and said it was a mistake.
Whatever it was, Y/N and Chad were decidedly not romantically involved. She had been shocked when he’d even bothered asking her for the night. Granted, they were always pals and it shouldn’t have been awkward, but drawing the comparisons between her and the other girls was making the evening very uncomfy. Y/N couldn’t help but pray that Chad was going to be the one to break the ice.
“Where the fuck is this place?” he finally said, much to Y/N’s glee. His grace and manners were absolutely unparalleled. “It’s cold and I’m sure it’s going to start raining again.”
“It should be just a few more blocks and then to the right,” she responded. “Sorry. It’s cool as fuck, though. I promise it’s worth it.”
“This is just her ploy to lure us all away from civilization to off us,” Sylvia said, turning around from a few feet in front of them to raise her eyebrows at Y/N. “Eliminate the competition before college apps even begin. I’m impressed, honestly.”
“Now you’ve gone and ruined it all,” she fired back. “Thanks, Vy.”
She was relieved to see that the antique store couldn’t be missed, even if she tried. The sign, a worn and friendly gold, was illuminated by large lights. The words “My Grandfather’s Attic” had never looked more welcoming as Sylvia gripped the door and ushered them inside.
The moment Y/N stepped inside, something felt...different, kind of like the hair-raising feeling she got when she was around Draco. The electricity in the air she felt with him could easily be explained away by the fact that he was, for lack of a better term, the most stunning person she’d ever seen, but perhaps she was slowly getting over him. Perhaps…
She turned to see Chad, his honey blonde hair spilling over his forehead as he focused on a basket of vintage buttons that seemed to glimmer in the light. The furrow in his brow--the same one that she’d been so familiar with after seeing him solve countless math problems--appeared as he examined the basket, turning a red button around in his fingers, soft and and sprinkled with writing calluses.
Maybe it had been Chad all along. Maybe Draco was just a detour.
Before she did anything she regretted, Y/N turned and made her way back into the store. The set up was the same as she remembered--interesting and foreign objects hanging from the walls, ceilings, and congregating in baskets and overflowing shelves. She didn’t even realize that she had migrated over to the opposite side of the room until she felt the solid, cool wood of the black box from her dreams pressed into her hand as she turned it over and traced the strange white sign that was etched into the front.
“Y/N!”
The sound snapped her out of her trance to see...Heather and Draco? He was jogging towards her despite the fact that he was wearing a full suit. Y/N made an absent note to make fun of him later.
“Why are you--”
“Put that down!” He stopped a few paces away, his eyes darting around the store at a frantic pace. “We need to leave.”
“Why? Honestly, if you wanted me to pick you up, all you had to do was…” She had to take a breath to steady herself. Her body felt like it was filled with static. “All you had to do was ask.”
“That’s not...ok, just put it down,” he commanded. “Please. Just put the box down. We need to go home.”
“No! This is my last homecoming. I’m sorry your experience wasn’t great, but I don’t...I don’t, uh, appreciate…” The lightheadedness hit, so suddenly that she almost fell.
“Fuck, are you okay?” Draco was right in front of her in an instant, his eyes scanning her face.
“I feel...” She took a shaky breath. “I feel...starry?”
The last thing she remembered was Draco trying to tug the box out of her grip, his other hand warm on her shoulder.
And then everything went black.
final a/n: so draco got a howler and some wack stuff happened, huh? tell me what you think.

I'm obsessed with your White Lilies fanfic. NH angst is my source of energy and my God you write it so well! You mentioned something about another angsty NH fic called Girl No 10 and I checked it out and it's good but I prefer your writing style. So my question is, do you have more recommendations for angsty NH fic similar to yours? Thank you and I can't wait for the White Lilies update!!
Eeee ahh thank you!!!!! >
“Girl No 10″ killed me. I died and then I read it again, and then I still die again. It’s utterly painful. pure pain. If mine is angst, then that one is ANNGGGSST. TW for affairs, abortion, and emotional manipulation.
Other Recommendations:
Well, before I started writing White Lilies, I reread @utsus amazing work, from which my story has been majorly influenced.
1. She wrote an initial response to a jealousy prompt: “Why would innocent little Hinata be out dressed like that”
2. Then she wrote a follow-up: “On Any Given Day”
If you’ve already read those two pieces of absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful angst work…
3. then there’s also “Gilded Butterflies”, another AU a little similar to “Girl No 10″. But not quite as painful! The NH action picks up in Chapter 2! TW for domestic violence, abortion, non-con, infidelity, and in general, bad decisions.
4. My favorite NH angst is from @katarinahime. It’s only vaguely similar to White Lilies, but she wrote “Serenity Prayer”. I super recommend this one. It’s one of my faves. I reread this story to improve my own writing. TW for domestic violence, divorce, non-con, substance abuse, and PTSD.
5. Also definitely read katarinahime’s “(common side effects)” if you have not already done so. Scary realistic in a truly admirable way. TW for mental health issues, violence, and self harm.
6. In relation to katarinahime, @szajnie is writing a paired fic called “Medicated” from Hinata’s POV. It’s excellently painful and rewarding. Same warnings as #5. Read the chapters in conjunction with (common side effects) for the full ride.
7. I haven’t read this one myself, but it seems to be very popular with NH angst lovers. Apparently Naruto is pretty crazy and actually everyone else is, too? “I want you to cry” . I’ll read it some day. I’m just way too scared right now.
8. Last, I’m gonna..uh…awkwardly rec my own writing… A reader told me that White Lilies reminds her/him of my other story “Nightdreams.” It’s similar to White Lilies in that it has Feelings Realization. Also it’s super explicitly smutty lol
WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF TWO MORE.
9. “Calming the Beast” had some major conceptual influence on White Lilies. When you read it, you’ll know it. It’s a smut one-shot that I love to reread.
10. Mutual pining in “Warped”. This one is not for everyone, it has very questionable non-con/rape situations between the two of them. But it’s also a lot of fun.
Happy reading!
Thank you for asking!! 😆 I am always down to tell people about the writers and fics that are inspiring me! And thank you for the encouragement,,,it really means a lot to me ❤️
OH If anyone has NaruHina recs to share, send them my way please.
#anon#fanfic recommendation#white lilies#naruhina angst#thank you for reading it!#some of my faves#be prepared to lie in your bed and cry#and stress#i'm a fanfic fan#but i don't read a lot of angst#or maybe there's not a lot of NH angst?
