Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! After a rotten Friday at the animal shelter where I work, I got a very pleasant surprise yesterday when a pregnant stray who came in gave birth to five live and healthy kittens! I might share some pics later on :) In the meantime, thank you @forabeatofadrum and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tags this morning, as well as everyone else who’s continued to tag me on other days. I’ve been pretty slow writing lately, but I do have some shares this week!
First, a bit of kid!Baz POV from my COBB:
In the afternoons, I do my homework as soon as we get home and sometimes call my father. He never has much to say. I’ll offer to help Dev with his work and then water the herbs in the conservatory, reminding myself of the names and uses of each one. Dogtooth violet to stop gossip, bay leaves for wish making and prophetic dreams. Tarragon for confidence, St. John’s Wort to stave off colds and fevers. Basil can drive off dark spirits. I rub the leaves between my fingers, remembering Ebb’s lessons as the fresh summer scent breaks across my skin. “Basil can dispel confusion, boys. It turns back fear and weakness, and is used in exorcisms. Carry it with you to protect yourselves from danger, or spread it on the ground to keep away evil. It’s also sometimes used to bring lovers together.” Dev had elbowed me and sniggered, because of course we both associate the herb with my name. I don’t see how any of it relates to me, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s just what I’m called.
And the next is from a sequel I suddenly started writing to Field Trip of Dreams (god I still hate that that’s the title I gave it). I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to read the first fic, although it gives context for the fact that Baz and Simon are dating in eighth year, and everyone but the Mage knows it. It’s a longish share, but I’m enjoying writing so have it:
“Isolation Cabin?” Basilton is repeating in disbelief. His eyes narrow. “But Sir, whatever will we do if we get to talking and discover we were separated at birth?”
Simon understandably pales, but Davy merely snorts and waves a dismissive hand. “Unlikely, Mr. Pitch. Now, both of you grab your rucksacks while I conjure a bird to lead you to the cabin. It’s…out of the way.”
The rest of the students are in fits, but of course Davy doesn’t notice. He pays attention to nothing and nobody when he thinks he’s in the right. Simon has shouldered his own pack and is staring into the middle distance, refusing to look at anyone. Of course, Natasha Pitch’s son has to get in one last dig: “What’s next, a get-along shirt?”
Basilton’s unimpressed expression is fooling no one—I know blessed well that he’d only love that. “Davy,” I try one last time. “This weekend is supposed to be providing these students with a chance to learn how to get along as a community of mages. Splitting two of them off will deprive them of the chance—”
“Miss Possibelf.” I suppose it’s amusing that after all these years Davy doesn’t dare use my first name. “I know what I’m doing. Boys this age need a firm hand—” How does he not hear the sniggering going on behind him? “—and I’ve had just about enough.” After seven years. Seven years, and he’s had enough? Davy finally acknowledges me enough to turn and lower his voice. “Quite frankly, one of them has nothing to learn about survival, while the other doesn’t need to.” This last part is said in a hushed whisper, even though from the way Basilton’s eyebrow lifts, I’m certain he heard it.
I share his disdain for the sentiment, however, I’m not particularly concerned about his chances—here, or anywhere else. “Fine,” I snap, throwing my hands up. It’s not as though this trip isn’t always an annual excuse for all kinds of unsanctioned…exploration. Simon and Basilton aren’t likely to get up to anything they haven’t already, and I have bigger fish to fry given the amount of alcohol students traditionally smuggle on this fool’s exercise. David Cadwallader can be as blind as he likes, but some of us are left nursing the hangovers.

Thanks for tagging me @alexalexinii and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe!
This week I have been mainly working on my snowbaz fic for the @carry-on-big-bang.
Here's a snippet (Baz's pov):
I hear his bike before I see him. I’m walking Fiona’s crazy chihuahua, but it feels more like flying a kite from how hard he’s pulling on the bloody leash.
“Calm your fucking tits, Titan,” I hiss at him, but then the little menace starts barking like mad at the roaring motorbike as if he were challenging the vehicle to a bloodthirsty duel. I’m about to give the biker a piece of my mind for potentially causing Fiona’s dog an aneurysm, when he pulls over and takes his helmet off.
I suddenly feel catapulted into one of those Coca-Cola adverts where the ladies at the office drool over the extremely attractive glass cleaner. Except that it’s just me and Titan here (but I’m pretty sure he’s gay, too), and fuck—those bronze curls. The blue eyes and that skin covered in freckles and moles.
I’ve been waiting for him my whole life, languishing in this fucking remote village in the English countryside.
I decide instantly to make it my life’s mission to get Freckles to stay.
“The game is on, Titan.”
“Arf!” he barks back.
“Sorry, he’s mine. You’ll have to try your luck with Dev’s unhinged pug.”

hi, i have a small and kinda stupid question. as a writer, what are we supposed to put in our fic concept? is it like a sort of summary of the whole thing or like the general idea or what? thank you in advance
The fic concept can be either one. It's basically just to give the artists an idea of what your fic will be about so that they can see if they feel inspired by it to create art for it. You will also be able to share the expected rating, word count, etc., just like you would when creating an ao3 work.
