Two New Fics

So, back in January I was watching the new PJO show and got bitten by two very rabid plot bunnies. I wrote and posted both of these, each within 48 hours at the most, and they came out about a week apart. While in grad school. It was maybe a mistake, but it felt great.

me having a new idea for a relatively short fic:

[havens-writing]

🟢 You are still a writer even when you haven't written in a while.

🟢 You are still a writer even when you feel like you aren't writing enough.

🟢 You are still a writer when you feel like your work isn't good.

🟢 You are still a writer when other people don't like your work.

🟢 You are still a writer when you aren't published.

🟢 You are still a writer when you only have works in progress.

🟢 You are still a writer if all you write is fanfiction.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.

I am back on my writing bullshit, so here is my next thing, inspired once again by @cheyla-v and @scioneeris, because their work rules my life. https://archiveofourown.org/works/44417317/chapters/111718312#workskin

I have finally finished a WIP, for the first time in months.

I present: Long-Awaited Reunions,

A fanfiction of @cheyla-v 's "The Soul's Scream" and @scioneeris 's "There Be Dragons, Harry"

This is purely self-indulgent

The ides of March is coming up what’s everyone getting me?

[havens-writing]

If you can’t think of anything to say about a fic, writers also like to know:

- what time it is

- how long you’ve been reading

- how many chapters you’ve covered in the last 24 hours

- what you were late for because you were reading

- the woeful few hours you have left to sleep

- the emotional outbreaks you’re experiencing

- the inappropriate place you’re having said outbreak

- the general public’s reaction to your outbreak

- how much phone battery you have left

People keep making posts talking about Roach sitting and refusing to move in order to get Geralt to do things and the thing is

Horses basically do not sit, and they’re not incredibly stable so even if you’re working with a 2500lb draft it’s pretty much always possible to force them to budge over, but! sitting and refusing to get up is a primary llama tactic.  Whenever you piss a llama off it’s either spit-in-your-face time or sit-down-and-become-one-with-the-earth time.

And the idea of a Witcher AU where everything is the same except Roach is a llama is HILARIOUS to me

Geralt is mean to Jaskier and she just sits down in the middle of the road and refuses to budge until he apologizes

A townsperson is being Witcher-racist and she spits in his eye making him roll around on the ground in stinky pain

It explains so much about how game!Roach is always ending up on top of buildings bc llamas actually have sorta claw-things not hooves and they can climb anything, including going straight up vertical fences, and also they in general have no regard for physical boundaries, if they stay in a pasture it’s because they chose to, so, like, Jaskier’s running from a cuckolded lord on the third story of a castle and suddenly there’s this hell-beast making a sound like a furious wood chipper between him and the lord who is now running VERY MUCH THE OTHER WAY and Jaskier’s just like…  I love you but how the hell did you get up here

also there is absolutely nothing better than being hugged by a llama bc they wrap their necks around you and their neck fur is so so soft and Geralt deserves that in his life

Measure, Branch, Predict

A poem inspired by three randomly generated words.

          With so many special people in my family,

           Who are so different from me,

           So much more tied together,

           It’s hard to feel like I measure up.

           We have so little in common,

           And I always feel like there’s a wall between us

           I try to make peace, find common ground,

           Hand over the olive branch,

           But it always ends up feeling futile.

           I don’t know how long I will have to atone

           For a sin that occurred in ages past

           With a very different version of myself

           One weighed down by the world,

           Torn apart by words and wishing

           Only to fly free of the pain.

           There was no way to predict

           That so much pain would be brought upon me

           In trying to spare others from it.

Rest, Gasp, Talk

A poem inspired by three randomly generated words

All the world’s a-buzzing, No one ever seems to take a break There’s never an opportunity to sit, To calm down, to rest. You have to keep moving, Keep running, never stopping, Until you’re so out of breath All you can do is gasp. Always moving, never stopping, Fighting and clawing for a place On the ladder of life Like the modern Great Chain of Being Trying to find a place in the world Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just… Relax. Breathe. Talk?

Apathy, Artist, Alive

A poem inspired by three randomly generated words

I’ve never been able to understand How anyone could view the world with apathy Not when snowflakes are so beautifully and uniquely sculpted, Not when the sky is streaked with colors so vibrant They couldn’t have been created, or be replicated, by any artist. How can anyone do anything less that enjoy at least a little of the world, When even during the fiercest storms, Even during the darkest nights, There’s a reason to see beauty in being alive.

Distance, Climb, Script

A poem inspired by three randomly generated words

If life is a journey, Then everyone wants to avoid that destination in the distance. When life is likened to a mountain, It’s to show the struggle of the climb. If, as Shakespeare says, all the world is a stage, Am I then required to follow some unknown script?

Moon, Biography, Silver

A poem inspired by three randomly generated words

I’ve always loved the night Standing in the snow Under the far-off, cold stars Bathed in the light of the ethereal moon Creating a tale of light in the darkness A biography of hope Told as the world is painted silver.
