Excerpt from CELEBRITY WEEKLY ON THE RED CARPET 2023 - by multiple authors
Fans might be interested in what’s been happening behind the scenes of the upcoming romantic comedy starring Miguel O’Hara and Peter B. Parker, Going Local. Things could be getting steamy behind closed doors!
Despite his serious demeanor, O’Hara has been a romantic lead several times in the past few years outside of his best-known role in the More than Human and Inhuman superhero duology. Some may remember how his role as Lord Gonzalez in Lady & Lord alongside Jess Drew’s Lady Lockhart was cause for rumors about the nature of the relationship between the two co-stars.
At the time, both Drew and O’Hara denied the rumors, maintaining that they had formed a strong platonic bond while filming and nothing more—and by all press and social media accounts, this appeared to be the case.
But this time around might be a little different. Our lead journalist Lily Harrison interviewed O’Hara while live on the red carpet, and it seems the line between on- and off-screen may be blurred.
“…What? We’re not—Parker and I aren’t involved,” O’Hara insisted when asked to comment on the numerous sightings of the co-stars flirting off-set, including their cute moment in front of the step and repeat banner earlier in the evening. “Sure, we’ve spent a lot of time together outside of filming. But it’s nothing.”
Nothing, huh? We’d like to draw fans’ attention to the contrast between this moment of flustered hesitation and the Jess Drew and Miguel O’Hara interview where O’Hara clearly and quickly shut down any speculation. Combined with recent press photos where Parker and O’Hara appear very close, it’s making a lot of fans curious about what’s truly going on in the actors’ off time.
[Tweet by Georgia! @mrsohara: “i wonder if theyve explored each others bodies” 3 images]
[Image accessibility descriptions: Three photos of Miguel O’Hara and Peter B. Parker. The first is the two on a couch, presumably a set piece, in costume. Parker, who is smiling widely, has his arm thrown around O’Hara, who wears an exasperated expression. The second photo is a distant paparazzi shot of the two sitting inside a Starbucks. The two are dressed casually. Parker wears a dark blue bomber jacket and baseball cap, while O’Hara wears a black t-shirt and jeans. The third photo is taken just outside the same Starbucks. Parker appears to be speaking animatedly to an intently listening O’Hara, who has the jacket Parker is wearing in the previous image tucked under his arm.]
We at the Celeb are wondering too, @mrsohara. But we know how it goes in the celebrity world–we may never know. No matter the nature of their relationship, viewers at home must admit that these two are a dynamic duo we just can’t take our eyes off of.

Parker wears a similarly-styled tuxedo in dark red. O’Hara appears to be fixing Parker’s cuffs, while Parker is looking at O’Hara’s face, smiling slightly.]

give me your fire (Day 2/3)
Standing lordly over you, Malleus stares down with pupils blown wide. He pants with an open mouth, fisting both cocks with one trembling hand. “You’ll take both now, won’t you?”
come get ur food malleusfuckers
(Originally posted on Ao3)
DAY 1
DAY 3
cws: just way too much cum, eating breakfast together like dweebs, claws, biting, partial transformation, double vaginal penetration, pain, underprepping, minor possessiveness, size kink, more marathon sex, consensual somnophilia, fem!reader
You wake up slowly, nestling closer to the other person in your bed. He sighs and tightens his embrace. You’d love to spend the next hour in his arms, really, but —
“Malleus,” you whisper, “can you let me go for a sec? I gotta pee.”
His eyes flutter open. The bright green is far less hazy than it was last night. He smiles wearily. “Mm, good morning. How do you feel?”
“A little sore, but okay. Can you please let me go now? I’ll be back ASAP.”
He growls, arms squeezing you tighter. Then he nods and, visibly reluctant, releases you. “Be quick about it.”
“Of course.” Drawing out of his grasp, you leave him with a tender kiss on the forehead. It placates him enough to let you go without any vocal protests, but he pouts all the while. There’s one thing you didn’t consider, however, that makes itself quite known as soon as you stand up. Your eyes go wide as saucers and you yelp as your center of gravity shifts and cum immediately starts slipping down your thighs. You snap your legs together. “Oh shit!”
From the bed, Malleus snickers. You shoot him your most venomous glare, but he only grins as he lounges under the sheets. “Is something the matter?”
“You!”
“Hm? Did I do anything?”
“You and-and your —!”
“Go take care of your business, love,” he says, shushing you. “I want you back in my arms as soon as possible.”
You roll your eyes and shuffle over to the ensuite. Thank god he has one, you don't know what you'd do if you had to go to one of the dorm's communal restrooms. Public humiliation isn't high on your to-do list.
After you finish your business, you wipe yourself down with a washcloth and splash cool water on your face. Feeling far less sticky and far more awake, you peek out into the bedroom. Sitting on top of the bed is a massive tray laden with pastries and fresh fruit. Malleus glances up to meet your eyes. He smiles and beckons for you to join him in bed.
"Breakfast in bed? Pretty decadent," you comment as you slip under the covers.
"It was delivered while you were in the restroom. Eat up, you'll need your energy for the rest of the day." He pauses and stops spreading jam over his toast. "Unless, of course, you wish to stop? Your aid so far is likely more than enough for me to be able to think clearly today. We could always just cuddle. Your body against mine… it helps." As he speaks, his arm winds around you, pulling you snug against his side. You snuggle closer, resting your head on his shoulder. He takes one of the pastries and offers it to you. It’s still warm, crumbling wonderfully in your mouth and leaving you feeling just as light and airy as its crust. Breakfast is spent speaking softly to each other and leaving lingering touches on thighs and arms and waists. He’s wonderfully cool to the touch even after spending so much time skin-to-skin with you. The best side of the pillow, but living and breathing and visibly trying not to kiss you senseless. Part of you wouldn’t mind just staying like this for the rest of the day. The other part, the louder one, only reminds you over and over of the one peak you’ve yet to summit with Malleus.
“I’d like to keep going,” you say, lacing your fingers with his. He’s only just slid back under the covers with you after setting the empty tray aside. His electric green eyes light up, and his other hand comes up to cup your cheek.
“You’ve no idea how happy that makes me.”
“I can guess.”
You throw one leg across his, straddling his slender hips with little effort. Malleus beams up at you. Hands settling on your hips, he licks his lips. “You look delectable. If only I could partake of your sweetness for the rest of my life.”
“That wouldn’t be a very long life.”
“Then I would die a happy man.”
“Cheesy,” you whisper. Your hips roll and you delight in the way his lashes flutter. He’s hard against your thigh, so you take one cock in hand and lower yourself onto him, humming with pleasure. Both of his hands settle on your hips. They squeeze lightly, haltingly, and the tips of his claws brush your skin. You palm over them, squeeze, and he takes the hint, finally digging his claws into your haunches. You lean in, lips brushing the point of his ear. “Go on. I like it.” Punctuating your words with a gentle bite, you arch your back and steady your hands on either side of his thighs.
The coolness of his mouth engulfs your nipple and he teases the fragile skin with his fangs. He grips you solidly and begins a frenzied pace — his coolheadedness had belied the desperation his heat has been building in him all morning — so frantic that it’s all you can do to keep your balance. His hips stutter for only a moment as he spills his load inside you and on both of your bellies. But he’s still hard. And he keeps going, huffing and snarling. You wrap your arms around his neck.
“Malleus, Malleus, Malleus —!”
“Louder,” he growls, mouthing at the curve of your shoulder in the ghost of a bite, “let them know who is making you feel so good, let them know who claims you!”
And oh, if it’s not frightening in the most wonderful of ways. Your voice pitches and peaks as he brings one hand down to rub furiously at your clit. The orgasm building in you crests over you as a wave, drowning you in its wake. He howls as you pulse around him and follows close behind. The stickiness you feel as he pulls away from you is only a momentary concern. You’re shoved down to the sheets. Standing lordly over you, Malleus stares down with pupils blown wide. He pants with an open mouth, fisting both cocks with one trembling hand.
“You’ll take both now, won’t you?”
The prospect is dizzying. Your lips move soundlessly for a moment. “W-will they..? I mean, can they…”
“They will.” It’s somewhere between a reassurance and a demand. “Spread yourself.”
You reach down and part your folds with two fingers. Looking away, you try to hide the shame blossoming on your face. Then he purrs, stroking the soaked rim of your cunt with a loving, gentle touch.
“So lovely, so perfect,” he murmurs. “Look me in the eye, my mate. Yes, that’s a good girl. I want to see your face.”
He nudges the heads of his twin cocks against your cunt, brows furrowed in deep concentration. Meanwhile, you try to steady your breathing and relax your muscles. Even with the potions still coursing through your veins, you know it will hurt if you stay so tense. His fingers move to help spread you further, and now he begins the slow process of entering you. Wholly. Your hand snaps up to your mouth, and you sink your teeth into the flesh of your palm to stifle your shriek. Because it fucking hurts. You’ve never been stretched this much before, and you’re pretty sure that most people who do this kind of shit do size training or something for a while before attempting anything similar. There wasn’t really any time to train, though, so you have to grit your teeth through the pain of being stuffed beyond anything you’ve ever experienced before. He moves slowly, pausing every second to stroke your hair and kiss your face and praise you over and over. It takes some time and lots of measured breathing for the burn to turn from pain to pleasure, and eventually you begin to rock up against him. Together, his cocks are thicker than your forearm at their widest, and it’s a stretch far beyond anything else you’ve experienced before today. Despite your nerves, you glance down. You can barely see it but yes, holy shit, that’s your cunt stretched almost to its limits around this dragon’s two (two! holy shit!) cocks. Vertigo hits you, and you gasp as your head falls back against the sheets.
“Are you alright?” he asks, voice shaking.
“It’s a lot.”
“Too much?”
“I need… I think I need another minute. You’re big.” You shut your eyes and continue your slow, measured breathing. Malleus busies himself with marking up every square inch of skin that’s not already covered in bruises and bitemarks. After some more time collecting yourself, you once again start your slow rocking. “S-sorry, it was just… a lot. Seeing it. Us. You.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry for. You are incredible. The sight is almost enough to make me reel, as well… such a good mate. I knew you would be perfect, my sweet mate. I knew you could take me.”
The words leave him in a rush, and he finally starts to fuck into you. His breath is ragged, mouth open and panting and nigh drooling onto your naked chest. He gnashes his teeth when you keen, flexes his fingers into the plush of your thighs as you call his name. You slide your hand between your joined bodies to touch yourself, even though the stimulation is almost too much. “Almost” being the operative word here — you’re pretty sure you won’t explode. But you feel pretty close to it.
Then there’s a cool, wet tongue on your cheek, and you’re completely jarred out of your impending orgasm. You stare up at Malleus in mute shock, his face only a breath away from yours. Those hazy green eyes stare right back. “Your tears,” he says, “are like honey. I want them. All of them. I want to keep you. Mine. Mine.”
You realize now that there are dark scales climbing up his porcelain neck, and a long, scaly tail lashes about behind him. The heat must have awakened something primal in him — dragons hoard things, don’t they? Does he think you’re a part of his hoard? Do you even mind that idea?
You could have a future here. With him. He’s offered it before, and as he looks at you now with veritable hearts in his eyes, you know that he spoke true.
“Let me keep you. I want to be with you forever, I want to see you bear our clutch. My grandmother would — shit — would adore you. You could be my queen. Beautiful and terrifying. I would give you everything. Everything.”
It’s probably his hormones talking, but you can’t deny the appeal of a handsome man speaking about how utterly devoted he is to you. You could get used to it. And then he touches your face like you’re made of spun sugar, the gentleness a sharp contrast to his frenzied fucking, and you melt again.
He goes at it like this for a while. Fucks you full of cum until you feel fit to burst — and then he keeps going and going. The first time you black out, it’s while he’s still on top of you. You reach a dizzying climax, then you black out again. Then, you come to lying on your side, back pressed to his clammy chest while he grinds his hips against your ass.
“Are… are you alright? It seems that the stamina tonic is… hah… beginning to wear thin.”
“Did you keep going?” you whisper.
“Yes. Is that alright?”
His words send your mind reeling, and you know you’d be wetter if that were even possible. You grind back against him. “More than alright. Shit, I’m glad I told you yes.”
“If only you could have seen it,” he says as he buries his face in the crook of your neck. He lifts your leg and nudges his knee beneath it. The steady grind of his hips turns into full thrusts. “You looked so peaceful in sleep, even after all that we have done. And your body was so welcoming. They say that the sleeping princess was unnaturally alluring even in her sleep. I think you are the closest I shall ever get to seeing such a thing for myself.” Behind the both of you, his heavy tail thumps a staccato rhythm against the sheets. His breath stutters as he comes and then he rolls you onto your stomach and the world becomes mush again.
You wake up warm and tingling and sore between your legs. Dizzy, you turn to face Malleus. He’s fast asleep beside you, face relaxed and lovely. He breathes more evenly now, and the flush that had spread across his face and chest has lessened. Carefully, so as not to wake him, you lift your hand and brush the backs of your fingers along the line of his jaw. His lashes flutter, and a contented sigh leaves him, but he doesn’t wake. The strong arm draped over your body only pulls you closer. You doze off with your fingers still caressing his face.
Again, you wake up. He’s staring at you, eyes soft with affection. One long finger traces your lips, so you stick out your tongue and lick the pad. Malleus glances down briefly, then meets your eyes again with a soft chuckle.
“Hey stranger,” you mumble.
“Hello.” A pause. “How do you feel?”
“A little sore. Sleepy. Happy. You?”
“Like a new man. I believe that the worst is behind me.” He cups your cheek. When he kisses you, it’s devoid of the desperate hunger you’ve grown used to over the course of the past couple of days. He parts from you with a soft pop. “Thank you. I owe you a debt of gratitude for all that you’ve done for me. Whatever you desire, name it and it is yours.”
You want to tell him that it’s alright, he doesn’t owe you anything. But you swear you can hear a certain furball’s yowling, and you sigh and laugh. “Fancy tuna for Grim, I guess.” Then you become very aware of how sticky you are again. You grimace. “And a bath.”
“May I join you?”
You don’t think much bathing will be done if he joins, but you can’t help your returning grin. “Of course.”

Here’s a short sneak peek of a sad Carlos fic I started writing after Las Vegas.
It’s called “There it is again (that funny feeling)” the name might change.
It’s a multi chapter fic coming soon to a website (ao3) near you. It’s Carlando and it’s angsty.
Let me know how you guys feel about this and I’ll try to finish the first chapter (it’s almost done) and post it asap. ☺️
He’s standing in the pouring rain.
That’s how Oscar finds him. It had been a few hours since the race, and everything had come to an end. McLaren's race debrief had just ended thirty minutes ago, and everyone was preparing to return to the hotel; some of the crew had already begun disassembling the hospitality and packing it to send it to the next track. Oscar tries to ignore him and go his own way, but something tells him not to, so he walks over to him and shelters him from the rain with his umbrella.
When the rain stops suddenly, Carlos looks up, first at the umbrella, then at Oscar, surprised.
"You know you get sick standing in the rain. We still have one more race to go.” Oscar says, awkwardly smiling.
“Hello, Oscar. Sorry about the race and the crash.”
"It wasn't your fault. We both were on the unlucky side of that Haas car.”
"Hmm," Carlos says with a nod.
"So, what are you doing out here in the rain?"
"How is everything at McLaren? Are they treating you well?" Carlos avoids answering Oscar's question by asking him one of his own.
Something feels off, but Oscar can’t figure out what yet he still answers, “Yeah. They’re good. They are very nice people. I am lucky to drive for them.”
"Good, good. You’re a good kid, Oscar. And a good driver. Don’t let anyone get you down, okay?”
"Thank you," Oscar says, but something is gnawing at the back of his mind. He has a strange feeling that something is going to happen. “Are you okay, Carlos? Were you waiting for Lando?” Oscar gestures vaguely towards the motorhomes, saying, "I think he is still at the motorhome. Do you want me to go get him?”
“No. No. I’ll see him later at the hotel. Is he being a good teammate to you?”
“He is. But I believe you two were the better teammates. You two worked well.”
“Yeah. We did.” Carlos smiles wistfully, lost in some memory.
The rain has finally stopped. Carlos looks at Oscar and steps out from under the umbrella so that Oscar can close it.
“Thanks for the umbrella, Oscar. It has been a pleasure racing alongside you. You are doing fantastic. You will be amazing again next season as well."
“Thank you, and it has been fun racing you too. We’ve still got plenty more races to do.”
Carlos just smiles at him. He looks sombre, as if he found the answer to the thing he was looking for.
“Goodbye, Oscar. Take care of yourself and Lando. He’ll need someone there.”
"You, too. I’ll see you in Abu Dhabi.”
Carlos turns and walks away. Oscar watches him go, and Carlos becomes smaller and smaller as he walks further away. But something Carlos said sticks with him. Lando will need someone there.
Why would Lando need someone there? There where? Or is it there when? Maybe it's nothing. Maybe he meant to have someone in McLaren. He has an odd feeling about this.
Or perhaps Oscar is overthinking something simple.
-
It is not until he boards the plane to Abu Dhabi for the season's final race a week later that the strange feeling becomes clear.
That’s a thing with gut feelings; they will always be answered, whether you want them to or not. It comes unannounced, stays, and stalks you, and then it is answered, and you are left with the answer, unsure of what to do with it. Oh, how Oscar wishes this particular gut feeling wasn’t answered. Especially with this answer.

Hi, I was just wondering if technical difficulties is abandoned?
I hope you’re doing well!
*drops in after 5 years and 4 months with a technical difficulties chapter update*
*disappears*
Tumblr media
cover art made by @angel-gidget ♡
03/08/23. HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, ALL, LONG LONG LONG TIME, NO SEE. ♡ Can you believe it? When I first published this story (first to tumblr, then to ao3), I had just moved to Japan! When I posted ch. 7, I was still living in Japan, and would stay there for another 7ish months... and in the 5 years and 4 months since posting the last chapter, I have moved to three different cities in the United States and started a Ph.D. program. (I am currently halfway through my PhD program!!!!!) What a wild ride. Also, we lived through the pandemic?! And I bought a house! Over the summer! The market was vicious.
So, then how did I get the inspiration/time/energy/motivation to write Ch. 8, you ask? Marvelous question. I lied down in bed last night to go to sleep "early" and ended up reading an utterly hilarious play-by-play commentary on Bad Books, Good Times of a popular fantasy novel series—and I'm not quite sure what it was about "poorly written books explained by hilariously clever book lovers" but I suddenly had a craving for fanfiction, so I opened up my Books app on my phone, and my eyes fell upon a sudden recommendation for my downloaded copy of technical difficulties. And I thought, "Am I suddenly and weirdly in the mood to jot down some notes to start Ch. 7 right now? By golly, I think I am."
4.5 hours later, I'd written the whole damn thing from scratch on my phone in my Notes app. (Messily! Half-assed! But I wrote all of it down!) I then spent another 6.5 hours today filling in the gaps and "editing." This chapter (and the one that will follow it) has been in my head for more than half a decade, but I just haven't had the space to get it out until now!!
I think one of the most beautiful parts of getting a PhD is how completely it blows your perfectionism tendencies utterly to bits, and one of the really interesting byproducts that has come up in my acdemic writing is just how quickly I can crank out decent-enough writing (skill-building!!). In my case, I think so much of it has to do with just being able to word vomit fairly well while not trying to fix anything until the whole damn thing is basically done. So, I applied that knowledge here! Behold!
This isn't to say that I'll be writing the final chapter anytime soon—I may be on spring break right now and may have had a stroke of Writing Inspiration in the Wild™ last night, but I'm still finishing my last semester of classes and learning advanced Python and working on my milestone paper for my doctoral program and preparing to present at my next conference in June and preparing my proposal for my dissertation next fall. BUT! The important thing is that I will post the last chapter of this story (and all my other stories)! Eventually!! ;)
No BETA for this chapter because I gotta THROW this out onto the internet and get back to coding, so bear with! I may do minor edits for it in the near or distant future. Also, please note that I have not watched any episodes of Miraculous Ladybug after the finale of Season 1, so this fic is very much a ~time capsule~ from the past. If there is any additional lore that might otherwise apply to the plot of this fic, please know that I don't know about it, and I am keeping myself selectively ignorant on all matters of Miraculous Ladybug season 2 and beyond until after I finish this story the way I originally intended. ♡ Woo!
as for, tumblr, sadly, to be honest, I'm never really online anymore! I'll respond to comments here on ao3 ASAP, though. ♡ LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU. ♡♡♡

Writing “Goals” for 2024
I made a list of writing goals in 2022 and 2023, so I decided to make one for this year too! (I’m putting “goals” in quotations because these are some things I would like to do, but I’m not necessarily aiming to definitely do them, if that makes sense. We’ll just see what happens!)
1. Tackle some ideas from my list - I keep adding to a list of potential fic ideas, and it’s getting long! They often get added to the list and then forgotten about, so I would love to write some of these instead of always starting fics from brand new ideas.
2. Write a long(ish) fic - This one is ehhhh, nerve wracking. I feel like I’m rubbish at longer fics (long by comparison to my normal stuff, which doesn’t usually go above 15K). I don’t have the attention span or motivation, I’m not good at plots or world building, and if it’s not PWP, I feel lost. That being said, I have ideas for longer fics, and I think it would be nice to try them out. We’ll see!
3. Write a non smut fic - As I mentioned above, non PWPs are not my strong suit. However, I usually try to make it a goal to write at least one non smut fic each year. It’s difficult for me. I was able to do it a few times this year, my favorite being my Halloween fic. I don’t always like how my non smut come out, but sometimes I have ideas that I want to write that don’t include smut. I think it can be a good challenge.
4. Finish and repost a specific old fic - Way back during One Direction’s prime, I wrote chaptered fics on Tumblr. They were well liked, and I enjoyed it! There is one fic that I really loved and never finished. I posted it on AO3 a couple of years ago, but I have since privated it. I would love to finally finish it, maybe even go back and update some of the old chapters to better reflect my writing style and abilities now, and then share it again with everyone.
5. Write for Wank Fest - In 2022, I wrote an infamous fic for Wank Fest, and I had a lot of fun. In 2023, I wanted to write for it again. I even had several ideas, but I didn’t have enough time or motivation to finish them! It would be great if I could come back to the fest this year.
6. Write a spur of the moment canon fic - 2023 was the first year that I did this, whipping out a fic in a couple of days based on an event that just happened IRL. I did it when Louis got new hand tattoos, when Harry accidentally posted his 1D shirt selfie, and with a series based on Harry’s naughty HSLOT shows. Obviously I can’t predict what will happen IRL or what will inspire me this year, but ya never know!
7. Write some fics for CSW based on past concert moments - Speaking of my HSLOT series, I had said that I might go back and write more fics for it based on older show moments, either Harry’s solo shows or even some 1D shows. I don’t have any immediate or definitive plans for that, but it’s in the back of my head!
8. Write a dark fic - This was something else that I did for the first time last year. I didn’t even understand why people would want to write or read a dark fic, but once I got into it, I loved it. I’m so proud of the fic I wrote, and I think it would be awesome if I could explore that kind of thing again.
9. Write a sequel - Yet another goal that I completed in 2023, and I’m adding it to my goal list again! I definitely have ideas, and I’ve gotten requests, so it’s definitely a possibility!
10. Use a beta more often - I never used to post fics without getting them betaed first. However, this past year, I haven’t done it as much. Part of this is because I was doing so many sudden fics that I wanted to post ASAP, but another reason is because I have a hard time taking criticism and finding a balance for what kind of betaing I want/need. I think it would be beneficial for me to try and push past that a bit!
That’s all I’ve got for now! I’ve reused some old goals, but hey, they’re good ones for me lol. We shall see what happens as the year goes on!
Going to tag some lovely writers—I would love to hear some of your goals, plans, hopes, or ideas for the year if you haven’t already posted a list! @lunarheslwt @alwaysxlarrie @larrysballetslippers @enchantedlandcoffee @hellolovers13 @zanniscaramouche @harruandlou @loveislarryislove @red-pandaaa @nooradeservedbetter @greeneyesfriedrice @hl-obsessed @beelou @28goldens @huggieshalo @justanothershadeofblue @littleohs @louieshalo @allwaswell16 @parmahamlarrie y
Feel free to say I tagged you if you want to share your writing goals too!

Perfectly Good At It
Tumblr media
Summary: Toya and Keigo decide to try something new. (a k!nktober oneshot from my PHOENIX AU; takes place a week before the wedding)
THIS WORK IS 18+ ONLY! S3XUAL TAGS WILL BE HIDDEN BELOW THE KEEP READING BUTTON!
Non-Spicy Tags: Hero!Dabi, alternate universe, engaged DabiHawks, swearing, heavy smut, they're in LOVE, making out, massage
Word Count: 1,813 words
AO3 link
Spicy Tags: k!nkt0ber, top Dabi, b0ttom Hawks, b0ndage, brand!ng, light BD$M, bl!ndfolds, t3mperature play, dom/sub undertones, switch DabiHawks, restraints, gay s3x, a n a l s3x, handj0bs, butt plugs, bl0wjobs, tongue piercings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There. Nice and snug. Can you get out?" Toya raises his eyebrow as he finishes tying the bright red silk rope restraints to each of the bed posts; Kei pulls his wrists and ankles, but it definitely looks like he's hardly trying. 
"Not unless I really want to. It's not gonna come loose without me really freaking out," Keigo mutters with a sly smirk on his face. 
"You feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable, let me know ASAP, birdie," Toya murmurs as he bends down to kiss him. Keigo meets the fire-Quirk-user eagerly, his tongue gliding across Toya's lip as his wings strain to fold over his outstretched arms, but he can't wrap him up with the restraints. 
"Where do you want it?" Toya growls into the kiss; he'd been looking forward to this more than he'd like to admit. Tattoos could be lasered off. Branding was permanent. Branding was commitment . It's obsessively sexy to Toya in a way that he can't articulate. He made an S&M joke, and, next thing he knew, Kei was asking if he wanted to burn his name into his skin. He’d already had his handprints branded on his ass from that night on Enoshima. Even then , Toya was terrified. This is a lot more precise. He would have to show intense control over his Quirk; it'll only go into his fingertips, and it'll be a small fraction of his power. Just enough to leave a burn. Just enough to make Kei feel it. Keigo doesn't answer his question, instead, he kisses Toya deeply...he kisses him with pure lust...something Toya's not entirely used to from him. 
“Inner thighs. First half on one second half on the other,” Keigo answers between breaths. 
" When do you want it?" Toya mutters between rough, sloppy kisses as he softly wraps a hand around Kei's throat and gingerly squeezes. Breath hisses out of Keigo's nostrils, and he inhales sharply, his whole body shuddering. Toya feels something twitch against his cock, and he breaks the kiss to see that Keigo's already lost in his desire. 
"I'll give it to you after you fall apart for me. How about that, baby?" Toya huffs as he reaches over and grabs the matching red silk blindfold from the nightstand. “Just as you’re at the edge of your orgasm.”
Carefully, he slips it over Keigo’s eyes, and the winged man shivers in anticipation. 
“Shhhh. You’re safe, Kei. I’m right here,” Toya whispers lovingly as he plants gentle kisses down his jawline, tracing the side of his neck with his tongue. Once again, Keigo strains against the ropes, wishing he could put up a fight for dominance. Toya smiles as he sinks his teeth into Keigo’s shoulder, dragging his hand slowly down his fiancé's body until it wraps around his leaking cock. Keigo gasps at the stimulation, feathers standing on end as Toya slowly pumps his hand up and down. 
“ Fuck , it hits different when I can’t see you,” Keigo practically whimpers, feathers flexing as he groans, forced to be completely at Toya’s mercy. 
“You’re so beautiful, Kei,” Toya croons, pressing his thumb beneath the sensitive flesh of his partner’s tip as he strokes his cock. Keigo’s mouth hangs open, panting as he focuses on the sensations. The ropes tighten as Keigo pulls against it, the silk pressing into his sun-kissed skin. Toya flattens his tongue against the skin on Keigo’s neck, licking up the side. Keigo shivers when he feels the cold metal ball of Toya’s tongue piercing. He tightly grips onto Hawks’ shoulder, fingertips just barely brushing his splayed-out wings as he massages the rippling muscles. The winged Pro groans, back arching and hips slowly rolling as much as he can, which isn’t very much considering his arms and legs are tied to the bedposts. Still, the added friction of his cock against Toya’s palm is enough to elicit a sharp gasp from Keigo.
“Easy, birdie,” Third-Degree huffs, his own cock twitching with arousal as his eyes soften, drinking in the perfect picture of his partner succumbing to pleasure. He releases his grip on Keigo’s shoulder, reaching over and flipping open the bottle of lube, squeezing it into his hand. Keigo’s muscles twitch when he hears the familiar sound. Toya groans as he slathers the lube on his erection, shivering at the sensation that sends chills down his spine and makes lust stir in his gut. He wants…no… needs Keigo. If he wasn’t worried about hurting him too badly, he’d shove it in and ram into him like a goddamn rabbit, but Toya can be patient. The payoff will be worth it…when Keigo is a screaming, whining, crying, cumming mess with Toya’s name branded on his inner thighs…when Toya can’t help but moan as his vision whites and his orgasm wrecks his body, crashing down through his brain and making his toes curl. The passion between them exacerbated every touch…every climax…every physical reaction…it was delicious. It was addicting . 
“I’m pulling out the plug. Relax,” Toya whispers, breath hot and heavy in Keigo’s ear as he releases his grip on his cock, reaching up beneath his lover’s spread legs and curling his fingers around the red heart gem. Keigo groans as Toya slowly pulls it free, shuddering when it leaves him empty and wanting.
Toya sets the plug off to the side, turning his attention back to his fiancé. He leans forward, smashing his lips to Keigo’s, who shivers with pleasure on contact. 
“You’re so pretty when you’re all tied up like a present,” Toya grins into the sloppy kisses, making Keigo sigh.
“You sing so beautifully,” Toya smirks, hands firmly grabbing his thighs as he begins to kiss down his chin, to his neck, between his pecs, down his washboard abs…and lower still. 
“Fuck me already, please ,” Keigo begs, voice shrill and raspy from near-constant airflow. Toya’s lips curl into a cruel smirk as he gently suckles Keigo’s leaking tip, making the winged Pro gasp and cry out, flexing against his restraints. Hawks desperately tries to roll his hips, as if he’s trying to force himself down his lover’s throat. At the first sign of pressure, Toya eagerly obliges, eyes watering as he feels Kei’s dick pulsing in the back of his throat. 
“Oh, God ,” Keigo moans, practically salivating at the sensations. Toya groans, sending vibrations around the throbbing cock in his mouth as he presses the ball of his tongue piercing along the shaft. 
Ssssssszzzle.
Toya’s Quirk bubbles up beneath his skin, and he just barely concentrates it at his fingertips as he grips Keigo’s inner thighs. 
“ Mark me ~,” Keigo blubbers, his voice strained and whimpering as he pleads over and over. His ears are filled with the sounds of Toya enthusiastically sucking him off, precome-slicked lips puckered tightly around his cock. Toya takes a deep breath, breathing sharply through his nose as he swallows, concentrating hard as he traces his left pointer finger on Keigo’s right inner thigh, branding the letters “T” and “O”. Keigo cries out in a mixture of pain and pleasure, writhing and pulling against the ropes while Toya holds him still. 
“Ffffuck !” Keigo screams, wings stiffening as his lover brands the other half of his name into his left inner thigh. 
“Baby…you’re so sexy,” Toya sighs with his mouth full of cock, calling his Quirk back as his fingers slightly steam, and the subtle smell of burning flesh fills the air. 
“C-c-close,” Keigo stutters, wailing as hot tears streak down his cheeks. Immediately, Toya pulls back, gasping for air as he lines up his lubed cock with Keigo’s aching hole. 
Wanton moans spill from Keigo’s lips as Toya slips into him, stretching him open until he’s sobbing. Toya grips the headboard, the wood creaking beneath his grip.
“C-can’t hold- ah -onnnn~” Keigo pants as Toya rolls his hips until they’re skin to skin.  
Toya rips the blindfold off, exposing Keigo’s blown-out pupils, golden irises swallowed up by inky black. Keigo lurches forward as far as he can, feathers parting from his wings and pressing flat against Toya’s shoulder blades, forcing him to meet Keigo in a wet, desperate kiss. Toya wraps his arms around Keigo, grabbing his shoulders and digging his fingernails into his skin. Keigo’s moans taste so sweet on Toya’s tongue, and his eyes roll back into his head as he feels his lover clamping down on him. 
‘God, I’m not gonna last long,’ Toya’s thoughts race to the forefront of his mind as he feels the familiar aching buildup between his legs. He concentrates on kissing Keigo, hearing the bedposts creak as the Pro tries to pull free. He’s showing immense self-restraint; Toya knows he could probably snap himself free in an instant if he really wanted. If Keigo was free, he’d probably have his wings wrapped around his back, pulling him as close as humanly possible, making it so his cock was pressing firmly against Toya’s abs, getting every little bit of friction that he could. Just the thought sends shockwaves down Toya’s spine…and-
“Oh, fuck ,” Toya rasps into the kiss, his voice cracking as he comes, pumping as deep as he can inside his lover. Keigo whimpers, melting at the sensation of warmth spurting inside as his own orgasm shortly follows, splashing white on Toya’s abdomen. Keigo’s feathers slice the red silk ropes, and, immediately, he wraps his arms around Toya, hugging him close as the two passionately kiss. 
“God, I fucking love you,” Toya moans, losing his composure as he traces the inside of Keigo’s mouth with his tongue. 
“Love you, too,” Keigo mumbles, wings wrapped around them, encasing them in a crimson cocoon. They sit there in silence for a few beats, before Toya starts pulling out, making Keigo wince. The moment they separate, Toya’s cradling Kei in his arms, running his hands through his blonde hair and whispering sweet nothings into his ear. 
“That was fun,” Keigo laughs half-heartedly once the brain fog clears, and Toya smiles down at him, nuzzling into the top of his head.
“Oh was it?” He teases, and Keigo pushes him away with a smirk. 
“I still don’t know what I prefer more. Me being tied up or you being tied up,” Keigo sneers, and Toya rolls his eyes. Keigo peers down, lifting his legs with a painful grunt as he tries to inspect the branding marks on his inner thighs. 
“Now whenever I spread my legs for you, you’ll see your name,” Kei huffs with a shit-eating grin. 
“Does it hurt?” Toya asks, his eyes full of genuine concern as he tilts Kei’s chin toward him. The winged Pro shrugs. 
“Dull sting now. I’m okay. Besides, I wanted it,” Keigo winks before pressing a soft kiss to Toya’s lips. The white-haired man’s eyes flutter shut as he kisses him back. 
“Let’s get cleaned up.”

20 Questions for Fic Writers - Was totally, definitely tagged by @monacotrophywife
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
23, some of them are long abandoned wips but I very much struggle with deleting things.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
533,586. I just have a lot to say.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
F1 and Star Trek
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
the og rpf version of Life In The Fast Lane, The Rules of Strategy, Sister, This Must Be a Mistake (a prompt which I brushed up and posted on ao3 for prosperity) and I'll Be Okay, Someday (a very self-indulgent Charles leaves Ferrari fic with some sebchal if you really squint)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always try to respond to comments as best I can, mainly just to show appreciation for getting a comment in the first place (I don't get comments on my works that much so I get stupidly delighted with every one) and also because I just absolutely love chatting about my works and my thought processes or events that happened in a fic/chapter.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
As someone who has autistic over-empathy and is very conflict averse I really struggle to write angst so if I ever do some it's always resolved asap.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
This is hard bc for the reasons listed above I love happy endings. My initial thought was Night Life which is more of a hopeful ending than happy. I also loved writing the end scene for I Don't Feel So Good (another prompt request I initially posted here)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I am not a religious woman but I thank God every day that I don't because I'm pretty sure it would make me stop writing
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
The thought of writing smut has always terrified me bc that shit is hard (pun semi-intended). I also have not had any irl smutty experiences so I wouldn't really know what I'd be writing about. So I'll always do the whole "fade to black with heavying implications that they got laid" shtick. Smut writers of the world are braver than any US Marine and they all have my respect 🫡
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Yes! I wouldn't describe my two crossover fics as crazy, but I absolutely adore them both (and hilariously they're my two top kudosed Trek fics!)
There's Sister which is my take on Kelvin Timeline Michael Burnham and Spock, and One Admiral and His Beagle which is a canon filler here's how Kirk met Porthos fic.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Thankfully, not to my knowledge
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No but I would be so honoured if anyone wanted any of my works translated!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope, an opportunity has never arose but I'd be so down for it.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
Trip and T'Pol from Star Trek Enterprise, teenage Seanagh imprinted on them like a baby chick when I watched ENT for the first time and I still got feral for them to this day.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
No word of a lie I'm terrified that I won't finish my re-write of Life In The Fast Lane bc I started it in late-2022 and I'm still on the 2023 season but I am stubborn and determined to see it through to the end so I can start the Change In Colour re-write
16. What are your writing strengths?
Definitely world building, I think it's because I'm so detailed orientated that my brain instantly goes to the little things and honestly I find it so much fun even if it takes forever.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Dialogue, specifically making sure each character has their own voice. The "he would not fucking say that" post lives in a corner of my brain at all times and fills me with The Dread every time I write a dialog heavy scene and I hate it 😭
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
For me personally I'll only do short sentences because autism brain demands that I must be accurate and I can only speak and understand a tiny bit of French
19. First fandom you wrote for?
F1 actually! I posted the first version of LITFL way back in 2014.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
It's a tie between Sister, The Rules of Strategy and the second version of LITFL, I'm having such a ball writing the latter two even though each chapter takes way longer than I'd like, they're very much my babies and I love them equally.
tagging my writing besties @hungriestheidi, @kaossbells and anyone who would like to do it because I love hearing about how other writers do/view things.

2022 Schedule, Guidelines, & FAQ
schedule
signups: Sunday, October 2 – Saturday, October 29 sign up here!
assignments sent: Sunday, November 6 (at the latest!)
you must confirm receipt of your assignment before: Sunday, November 13
gift posting: Monday, December 19 – Monday, December 26
pinch-hitting: through Sunday, January 15
———————————————————————
general guidelines
hi, this is Tierfal! first item to note: I am running this by myself. that means that I will need your help and cooperation to make this work. it also means that if you have a problem with Roy/Ed (or with ANY ship that is tagged properly), you should find another gift exchange.
please leave yourself some time to work on your sign-up form! the form has a lot of checkboxes to try to make matching easier, better, and more efficient, because it’s just me and my spreadsheets here, pals. please go in with a few different ideas about both pairings and some gen/character favorites that you would be willing to receive gifts about!
if there are individuals in the fandom that you would not be comfortable creating for or receiving from, there will be a place to include usernames – but no one will be barred from participating, so please keep that in mind. you probably don’t have to worry about full-blown antis. antis do not like me. :D
please, please do not sign up unless you are committed to this, you will do everything possible to get your gift completed on time, and you are willing to be communicative during the months of November and December. last-minute drop-outs and radio silence make running events like this a nightmare. please don’t do that to me. :(
if you are under 18, you are welcome to participate! the only restriction is that the gift that you give (and the one you receive) must be at a T/PG-13 rating or lower, so that none of us go to jail. that would be a disappointing holiday present.
other than that, anything goes as long as you’re willing to tag appropriately – except, of course, for hurting real people. I have a zero tolerance policy for treating other participants poorly. if that bothers you, find another gift exchange.
———————————————————————
gift posting
Regardless of when you finish your piece, please only post between December 19th and 26th! Please do not share anything about the work publicly before then.
When you post your gift, please tag the blog ( @fmagiftexchange​ ) here and/or on Twitter (@FMAGiftExchange) so I can cross-post and share your gift! Please also tag the recipient if possible. (Please note: Tumblr ate a lot of tags last year, so it’s a huge help if you can drop me a line by DM if you don’t see me sharing your gift promptly!)
If there is anything NSFW or potentially triggering in your gift, please post it under a “read more” or link to it externally and make sure to list any necessary warnings above/in advance so that people can decide whether or not to see the rest. Thank you for your help keeping the community safe! ♥
For fanfic, beta-reading is not mandatory if you’re relatively confident you’ll have time to polish your work a bit yourself. If you would like help finding a beta reader, please let me know, and I’ll see what I can do. :)
There is an AO3 collection to post to as well!
———————————————————————
additional FAQs
How much do I need to create? It depends on your creative process – please aim for a relatively “finished” piece of art, or a fanfic of at minimum 1,000 words, or the approximate equivalent in whatever medium you work in.
I don’t think I’m going to finish in time! What do I do?
 If you’re going to miss the deadline, let me know ASAP so that I can find a pinch-hitter. If you think you’ll have the start of a finished piece by the deadline (e.g. first section of a longer fic, first panel of a comic), feel free to post that, as long as you’re sure that you’ll be able to finish later. :)
I’m not sure my work is good enough. :( 
It is! This is a gift exchange for fun. Everyone’s work is good enough, and will be appreciated by the recipient and many others. ♥ Just do your best to put some time and some of your love for FMA into it!
I’m not sure I feel comfortable having my name on my gift/posting it publicly.
 That’s okay! Let me know, and I’ll work out a way to either accept it as a submission or post the content directly to this blog on your behalf. (Keep in mind that anyone deeply determined to find out who you were could probably figure it out by process of elimination… there isn’t really a way to make this perfectly anonymous, but I’m happy to work with you to keep it on the down-low if that makes you more comfortable!)
OMG YOU SINNER, DO YOU ALLOW [“controversial” thing]?!!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!! D:< Spoiler alert: fandom is actually not that serious.
Any person and any ships are welcome. Just don’t ghost your giftee.
I want to throw something (like a side ship) into my gift that the giftee didn’t mention. Is that okay? The safest bet is to leave it out just in case, but if the piece hinges on it, drop me a line. I’ll work with you to figure out if they have anonymous messages open anywhere, or I can contact them and ask on your behalf.
Will there be a Discord server? Not this year. It’s a lot harder to keep your gift a secret in a server!
If you have any other questions, message me!

Dune Mini Bang
Artist Sign Ups open in 2 weeks!
Tumblr media
Artist Sign Up / Art Claims - July 1st - until all stories are claimed Check In 2 - July 14th Rough Draft Due - Aug 18th Posting Claims  - Aug 18th - Aug 25th Posting Schedule Announced - Aug 26th Final Drafts/Art Due - Aug 31st Posting Starts - Sept 3rd
GENERAL FAQ
What is the Dune Mini Bang? A Mini Bang (or Big Bang) is a collaboration between writers and artists who work together to produce fandom-inspired content, in this case Dune, and share it with the world. A writer and an artist are paired up, the writer well writes and the artist will create some form of visual content to go along with their story. The work is then posted together on a selected date at the end of the writing period.
Where can I post my fics/art? Stories and art can be posted to your own personal journal, Tumblr, ff-net, AO3, or wherever you like. For those of you with AO3 accounts, we will set up a collection that will go live on the day of the posting. If you don’t currently have an AO3 account but would like one, you can contact the mods for an invitation code to see if they have any available. You can also add yourself to the AO3 Invites Request queue.
For posting on other social media platforms, such as tumblr or twitter, please tag duneminibang2023 and @dunefandomevents , spread the word!
When do I start posting? We will open the posting date claims ahead of the close date. How many days it will be spread out will depend on how many writers we have signed up. If your story is multi-chaptered it does not need to be posted all at once, you should start posting chapters early so the story can be listed as completed by your posting date. You will be able to select a preference for where in the queue you are but ultimately your posting date will be selected by the moderation team.
What platform are these being advertised/posted on? AO3 will host the main archive collection - The collection will be created and ready to go for the Sept 3rd posting start date. Tumblr - Used for advertising signups and after posting starts we will cross post all stories to a masterlist. Twitter - Used for advertising signups and after posting starts we will be cross posting -  Linking AO3 collection / Tumblr masterpost. Reddit - Will be used for advertising signups.
What if I have issues or concerns with my artist/author? Sometimes authors and artists do not get along and this may cause problems with working together. If this happens to be the case with you, please email or contact the mods on Discord and we will try to do what we can so that everyone has a chance to have fun!
If you have not heard from your author/artist in some time after trying to contact them, you can reach out to us via email/discord and we will try to get in touch with them for you.
Extensions? I am pretty attached to the idea of starting posting on the anniversary of the Dune Premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sept 3rd but if you really really need one please email the mods as soon as possible. One easy option would be to select one of the later posting dates but if that doesn't work we may allow a few extra days.
Can I drop out? We have high hopes that everybody who signs up can actually finish the round and share in the joy of the reveal with us, but real life can unfortunately get in the way and we completely understand! If you feel like you just cannot finish in time and no amount of assistance from us can help you, just let us know by asap! Ideally we would wish to know before artist claims have opened.
Is it possible to be banned? Yes it is. The following events will result in being removed from the event and a one event ban on next year; Lying about your age in order to gain access to the 18+ content Hate on another participant for their ship/character/content - we are allowing ALL content for the mini bang. Hate on another participant for any reason really Failure to meet the event requirements
ARTIST FAQ
Minimum/Maximum requirements for art? There is no strict minimum, but we do ask artists to remember that the authors are writing a minimum of 5,000 words and your artwork should reflect that. You can do anything you like, including banners, wallpapers, icons, mixes, vids, gif sets, picspams, etc. Suggested guidelines for art are 500x500px (or equivalent of smaller pieces like banner + spacers, cover + icons, etc.) for traditional art, digital art, and manips around 3 - 5hrs; 2 minutes for vids; 10 songs + cover art for mixes; and 6 images for gif sets and picspams. We also ask that when you are in contact with the author, you work with them to see if there is anything specific they would like (i.e. a wallpaper, book cover, etc.). The art is your work, but having ideas doesn’t hurt!
At this time we will NOT be allowing AI Art. There are a lot of reasons for this. If you have questions please send a mod a message!
What are art claims? Artists sign-ups and art claims are the same thing; we use one form for both things, and that way the artists don’t sign up for an event they may not end up participating in. Writers will have submitted 2 short excerpts from their story for artists to read and get a feel for the work. It is based on a 'first come, first served’ and artists may choose up to three potential stories (in case their first choice is unavailable). If there are more stories than artists, there will be a second round of claims wherein artists may choose a second story to work with. And on until all stories are claimed for art.
If a fic up for claiming is rated explicit (R, NC-17, etc.), please only claim the story if you are over 18 years of age. Some authors may be uncomfortable working with underage artists on explicit works. We do not verify ages in any way for the bang, so this is solely on the honor system. Artists are encouraged to join the discord server and follow along with everyone a head of the artist claims being opened.

2023 writing goals :’)
i was tagged by @beardyboyzx & @lunarheslwt to share some of my writing goals for this upcoming year so here are five writing goals of mine:
1) finish half of my wips! at the moment, this includes my cinderella au, my girl direction sequel & my christmas fic sequel. trying to get all the sequels done asap so i can really start on fics that i’ve either only done outlines for or have begun the first draft for.
2) beta more fics! not sure if this counts as a writing goal specifically, but since i started writing more, i’ve ended up betaing less -- guess that’s kinda how it goes lol. but i do want to beta more again this year! i love helping people brainstorm, bouncing ideas off of each other, being a cheerleader for someone, being a thorough beta/editor, etc.
3) i want to write fics that are different than what i normally write. i’ve always wanted to write fics that require a bit more world building and/or slow burn, or like historical AUs. i just have never done so because i’m too impatient to write slow burns & i can never tell if i’m rambling or world building LMAO. but i want to try!!
4. write for more fic fests. i’ve always thought it would be really cool to only write for fic fests, but obviously i’ve written fics that weren’t just for fests last year as well so that thought kinda went out the door lol so i want to write for more fests this year. in 2022, i wrote for 4 fests. this year, i want to match that again -- or at least try to.
5. i said this in my self evaluation, but i want to get better at writing smut. hopefully the participating in writing in some fests will help assist with that lol.  if anyone has any advice for me, i’d love to hear it!
in other news for 2023, the first round of the @notjustsmutficfest will be posting this year & although there’s no longer a deadline to sign up or post to the collection, hopefully we’ll get some works for the @harryislouisbabyficfest this year as well!
lastly, i made a google form for people to submit tips, hacks, reminders, etc that they’ve learned to help others navigate ao3! these can be niche tricks you’ve learned over the years, tips for newbies, reminders for writers and/or readers. you can submit things regarding fests, tagging, fics, how to link peoples’ socials (example: for betas or arists), etc. there’s no deadline to submit these, but i’ll create a tumblr post once i have a few submissions & will continuously add onto it whenever i get new submissions! i’ve just never seen anyone do something like this before & i thought it could be helpful to everyone, so if anyone would like to contribute, i’d love for you to!  :)
people who’s writing goals i’d love to see: @allwaswell16 @fallinglikethis @kingsofeverything @lululawrence @loveislarryislove @infinitelymint @ireallysawanangel @thedevilinmybrain @momrryrights @daggerandrose @zanniscaramouche @justanothershadeofblue @neondiamond @indiaalphawhiskey @twopoppies @homosociallyyours @gaycousinlarry @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @panye @chloehl10 & anyone else who wants to post theirs as well !!

Coffee or Tea
This is what happens when you are trying to finish writing two emotional fics but instead find this cute writing prompt that needed to be used asap! I mean, I actually love what I have here and it never fails me how much I can write in almost 30 minutes. As I was writing it I discovered that I made everything as basic as possible. From the descriptions all the way to the actions. There is no plot (?) and I think that made it easier. I wrote as if I watching a film or reading a book. This is a specific scene that doesn’t need a continuance or even what happened before. 
Enough talking. Here are some things to note about this short fic: Characters: Skimbleshanks and Jennyanydots AU: Human Ages of Characters: They are adults over the age of 25 Warnings: None
This follows a random headcanon that thought Skimbleshanks loves tea with a bit of scotch, he also enjoys coffee too in the morning. But only sometimes. Writing prompt: - it's early morning and as character A is making coffee or tea in the kitchen, they feel character B wrap their arms behind them and whisper in their groggy morning voice, "come back to bed."
It was known to many that Skimbleshanks was an early riser mostly due to his job on the rails. So one may say it was more of a habit than anything. Today was just like one of those. Except something was different. 
His house was silent other than the sounds from the birds outside. He chuckled. Sometimes it was wonderful to listen to near silence. 
But to make things better, he made his way to the kitchen where he carefully began the quiet process of making coffee and tea. 
The coffee was for him as tea did almost nothing to wake him up. The caffeine was rather lackluster to him. 
He let the coffee drip into his cup as he went to begin the process of heating the kettle. Though he was not the one for tea, he knew someone who did and it would be a surprise for them to get a hot cup from him. 
Just as he was about to pour the hot steamy water into the cup, he felt Jenny wrap her arm around his waist.
“Come back to bed, dear” she whispered, her voice still groggy from waking up.
He only paused for a moment, thinking about what to do next. So he finished filling the cup, turned around, and hugged his sweet Jenny.
“I couldn’t fall back to sleep.” He whispered back. “And I made your favorite tea.”
He felt her laugh vibrate in the hug. “Then I guess I’ll need to drink it then if it’s made by you dear.”
They broke the hug so Skimbleshanks could finish preparing their morning drinks. Though this time he did it with an even greater smile knowing how lucky he was to have Jenny.
_____
I don't think I've posted a fic solely on Tumblr in a while and might post it on AO3. What do you guys think?

Congratulations!! Honestly I’ve never seen a fic get anywhere close to 1k so 2k is so fucking impressive. That’s insane! I was wondering if you have any tips for bringing in readers? Obviously your writing is amazing. Currently I’m struggling to get 20 kudos. 😅
so sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week! but thank you so much!!!!! i'm honestly so like shocked that it's managed to get up to 2k! it just baffles me that at least two thousand people have read/liked something that i wrote. it's incredibly validating and i just feel so so so grateful.
ooh, tips for bringing in readers hm.
share your fic on multiple platforms! obviously, once that fic is posted it's going to show up in the tags you've used on ao3 (assuming that's where you've posted it!), but you want it to reach more than just those looking on ao3, because not everyone looks in the general pairing tag or narrows their search down to the trope tags you may have used. so my advice here, is to take that link and make a tumblr post with it! make a tweet that includes it! throw that link up on instagram if you use that for fandom stuff. if you're in any discord servers for that fandom/pairing, drop the link there too! spread it around as far and wide as you can so you can get as many eyes on it as possible!
do not be afraid of some good ol' shameless self-promo! in the same vein as #1, don't be afraid to then promote those posts you've made about your fic! self-reblog, self-retweet, self-rewhatever! get your fic circulating! it's your blog/page/account, so you shouldn't ever feel bad about boosting up your own content!
find yourself a good group of friends who will hype the hell out of you and your works! not only is it ridiculously nice to have a group of people who you can talk with about fandom stuff, and spitball ideas with, and discuss theories or headcanons with until they turn into something more, but it is also soooo incredible to have people that are in your corner and that will read anything you put out and who will then also reblog/retweet/rewhatever your fics too! even if you run in the same general circle, they're still going to have connections with other people that you won't, so if they help you out by reblogging your fic, then that spreads it even further than just your own followers. and like, in my experience, fandom friends will be some of the most ride or die, supportive people that will stop at nothing to hype you up to the highest point they possibly can, so like hang onto them as tight as you possibly can because they are just the absolute best things ever <3
create some sort of banner/moodboard/graphic to go with the fic i have not personally done this, just because i am usually far too impatient once i finish a fic and i just want to get it up asap lol, BUT. i know that there are fics i've seen that have totally eye catching banners or moodboards or things like that that the writers will attach to the beginning of the fic but also to their promo posts, and those absolutely will grab attention! like, someone will be scrolling through the tag and see the banner/moodboard/whatever you made and go woah, that's cool, what is this? and they'll check out your post and if it's something they decide they're into, then the fic itself too!
i'm trying to think if there's any other advice i could give you, but tbh these are the things i stick to doing the most with my own fics. hopefully that was at least a little bit helpful!! i wish you the absolute best of luck, though! trying to get engagement on writing can be very difficult, but it's really awesome that you're putting yourself out there no matter what and sharing something you've created! that's so special and you should be very proud of yourself for that!!
(also, if your fic is a steddie fic or another st pairing that i'm into and you want to drop me the link i would totally love to check it out!!)

the story is definitely more interesting than my terrible plot summary made it sound, i promise 😅 it was on ao3 back when it was a fic but i took it down when i rewrote it to be an original work so sadly i cannot drop a link to it lol
i'm so bad at writing a straightforward romance. that was the original plan, then little plot bunnies started showing up and now i've got all these twists and so much lore in my head lol. i was actually really worried that it was gonna be super obvious what's happening but it seems like maybe i kept things mysterious? 😂 i would love to answer all your questions but i don't want to spoil anything 🫣 i'm gonna try to have the next chapter up soon but i may or may not be writing Nouis whump as we speak...
i let out the most inhuman screech when i saw your post about how many more parts you planned out for Let Passion Get Too Much. i never want that series to end 😂 is there aaannyyy chance you could give us even the tiniest crumbs now that you started writing the next chapter? 🥺 this is also making me realize that it's been a criminally long time since i sent thirst...so i may be sending some Niall thirst tonight 😂
i'm not sure how much you'll want to trade lives with me when you find out that you'll have to give no less than three 30 minute to an hour long presentations in the next few weeks 😭 holing up in a room undisturbed is great until you have to do things like that for school
-🤘
no, it sounds really good ! i love a good complicated love triangle, and i can just imagine how much room there is to play with that when writing a novel ! you should definitely jump onto the proofreading train when you finish school and you have more time on your hands !
you definitely kept it mysterious, i have no idea what’s going on, why is niall dreaming about her ? why does she not even seem to understand that part ? who was he ? or what was he ? and why is it so important for me to find out asap 😂 seriously you’ve got my attention hooked so good miss rockstar !! 😅
and girlie that’s just what i have PLANNED !! there’s more to come, but now i know the next 9 parts !!! i know exactly how they’re gonna look and what’s going to happen ! i’ve already updated the masterlist for that series, i added the titles for all the planned out parts ! 😁 i can gladly share a little snippet of the new chapter, would you mind dropping me an ask for just that so i remember to get to it once i have a bit more time ? 🫶
oh i’ll gladly go up there and talk absolute bull shit for 30-60 mins 😂 that much i know i am good at ! although i cant promise a good grade afterwards 😅 but the holing up in your room sounds fantastic, i wish i could do that so bad !!

20 questions for Fic Writers
Thank you for tagging me @lady-de-mon-coeur, i'll give it a try!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
5 (for now 😏 so many wips)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
175,379. (This question had me realise I had never used the Statistics part of ao3 before XD)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Miraculous Ladybug.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A knock on the skylight (highest number of kudos)
The White Room
Le battement d'ailes du Papillon
L'hôpital
Les chats errants n'aiment pas la pluie (very first Miraculous fic i posted on ao3)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always respond to comments. I don't receive a lot of comments and i love the idea that someone took some time to read my stories and write a comment about it, it means so much to me, you have no idea. And i also love chatting and discussing stuff with people so i always answer with something. It can be a simple "Thank you so much" but it can also be a full psychology essay, depending on the initial comment XD.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I'm a sucker for angsty fics with happy endings so none of my fics have angsty endings per se, but all my fics have an angsty/hurt/comfort kind of vibe.
But if I had to pick one, I guess it would be "The White Room". The story takes place during season 5 (if you've watched the whole show so far, you can guess what it's about 👀). The fic is canon divergent and the story ends with a cliffhanger that foreshadows a lot of angst.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I haven't posted the whole fic yet because... i have yet to write it, but i would say "L'hôpital" has the happiest ending of all my fics. It's on hiatus at the moment because i'm trying to focus on finishing "Le Battement d'Ailes du Papillon" first, but it's planned and drafted till the end (the last chapters are actually already fully written) and i can't wait to work on it again! People seemed to really like the first 3 chapters so it gives me some motivation to get it done asap!
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No, not really. I did get several mean comments on a fic that didn't even have to do with the fic itself, and one anonymous comment from a burner account that was dedicated to leave hate comments on fics for fun which said something like "this is so lame you should stop right now" XD
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No. I'm not into smut in fanfictions so i don't write smut.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
The first fanfiction i've ever written was actually a kind of crossover between Harry Potter and my OG characters, so it doesn't actually count as a crossover but still.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I am aware of, and I hope that'll never happen but i don't have a lot of readers so i guess i'm safe anyway XD
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I do translate my own fanfictions but that's it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, writing is a solo activity for me.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
That's a hard question, I can't choose!
I love the whole Miraculous love square which has been my current obsession for years now, but i also have a soft spot for Sakura and Shaolan from Cardcaptor Sakura ❤️
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
My very first fanfiction (Harry Potter universe). I started it in 2002 I think. The 5th book wasn't out yet and I have the equivalent of 2 whole books planned in my head but not enough material to actually write full chapters and a whole story so i guess i'll never finish it, even though i still like it a lot.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think it would be writing emotions. That's what comes up the most in the comments in a very positive way and i'm really proud of it because that's actually what i love to focus on, and that's also what fuels and structures all my writing process. My rule is if an action isn't motivated by an emotion, then it doesn't make any sense and will seem fake or coming out of nowhere. Everything revolves around emotions.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Banter. I really suck at writing banter and jokes. Whenever I'm trying to write a light and playful chapter, it always ends up being way heavier and more emotional that i planned it to be.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
🤔
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter.
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
I love all of them in a different way, i really can't choose!

I'm tagging whoever wants to do it!

  -- Craft or Merchandise --
Auction ID: 1006
Will create works for the following relationships: Tony Stark-centric - MCU Loki-centric - MCU Bruce Banner & Tony Stark - MCU Jane Foster & Darcy Lewis - MCU Loki & Thor - MCU Natasha Romanov-centric - MCU Pepper Potts/Tony Stark - MCU Jane Foster/Loki - MCU Darcy Lewis/Loki - MCU Clint Barton & Natasha Romanov - MCU
Work Description: I am offering a symbolic/stealth-fannish necklace. That's jewellery that you can wear without it being obvious that it's fan-related. So I don't use logos or faces, I use symbolic things. For example, for Jane Foster I would use star charms, and for Loki I would use the colour green, and for Thor I'd use a hammer; that kind of thing. At the minimum, I would make a piece symbolising your chosen character or characters. If inspired with a creative prompt, I may attempt to go deeper, doing a character study, or exploring the relationship between those characters, or touching on the events which influenced them. You can give me preferences as to styles or colours, but not everything may be possible. The most important thing for me in regard to colours is whether you have a warm skin tone or a cool skin tone; I want the piece to suit you. If you have any allergies (e.g. wool, nickel, copper), let me know ASAP, as that will affect what materials I can use. Note that the list of characters and ships above is not proscriptive; you can always ask about someone who is not on the list. Indeed I encourage you to! Some of the most interesting prompts I've had came about because someone asked. Also, anyone who is listed as a romantic pairing, I am happy to do as a friendship pairing. For previous examples of my symbolic jewellery, see my AO3 series "Symbolism With Occasional Words" https://archiveofourown.org/series/2326487 -- particularly my previous MTH fills "Jewish Bucky Barnes" https://archiveofourown.org/works/38410030 (2021), "Symbolic Lokane" https://archiveofourown.org/works/40360662 (2021), "Inside Outside - Bruce and Hulk" https://archiveofourown.org/works/50015419 (2022), and "Weighing the Heart - Symbolic Moon Knight" https://archiveofourown.org/works/50015740 (2022). TIERS: Bids $60 and over would get a matching pair of earrings. YES, I can do clip-on earrings. Bids $150 and over would get a matching bracelet. These would not have all the design elements of the necklace, but they would be made of matching colours and materials. TIMING: Since we are coming up to Christmas, things will get very busy. I will be happy to have initial discussions before Christmas, but no real work will be done on the piece before January. I cannot say when it will be finished, just that I will try my best to get it finished before the next round of MTH starts. POSTAGE: Bidder will get the item posted to them at their expense. Unless they live in Australia, in which case I will post it for free.

Will create works for the following relationships: Carol Danvers-centric - MCU
Work Description: I am offering a Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) themed jewellery set; a necklace, bracelet and earrings. This is a stealth-fannish set, meaning that it can be worn without it being obvious that it's fan related. For this set, that means that it is in Captain Marvel's colours, gold and blue, with a touch of red. The jewellery is chainmaille, made from gold-plated brass rings, and anodised aluminium rings (in gold, blue, and red). While the earrings are for pierced ears, I can change them over to clip-ons if requested. HERE is a photo of the necklace: http://katspaces.org/gallery/post/symbolic/.thumbnails/captain_marvel_necklace-20230917_154010_jpg.html Bracelet: http://katspaces.org/gallery/post/symbolic/.thumbnails/captain_marvel_bracelet-20230917_153732_jpg.html Earrings: http://katspaces.org/gallery/post/symbolic/.thumbnails/captain_marvel_earrings-20230917_153323_jpg.html POSTAGE: Bidder will get the item posted to them at their expense.

So. Hi!
Hello there! My name is Hazel, but you can call me Melly! My main tumblr is mellifloraa, and this is my fanfic/requests blog! I’ve been writing ever since I was old enough to touch a keyboard, and I’ve written a number of larger stories throughout my life, as well as smaller pieces more akin to one-shots. Despite this practice, I’ve never actually posted the majority of my writing, original or otherwise, so this is a brand-new venture for me! I’ve decided to make this tumblr to post finished pieces or user requests, and I’ll likely be posting my material on AO3 once completed.
I’m opening my askbox for user requests! Check out my list of fandoms I’ll write for here, as well as what I won’t write for, and also be sure to specify what kind of piece you want; be it a short drabble or a longer fic piece, I’ll do my best to get your request out to you ASAP!
Keep in mind that I’m a college student and I will be busy, but don’t let that dissuade you from sending in a request! I’ll get to it when I have time, I promise!
All in all, I’m excited to be here and to try out a new style of writing for all of you! Thanks for stoppin’ by! ^w^)
