Some art I made earlier this month based on an AUpril discussion in the muderbot discord! We were talking about how Murderbot's visualization of itself in the feed might have changed over time. @elexuscal suggested the circle-within-a-circle to evoke a helmeted SecUnit as its original feedsona, and that Murderbot might have removed the company branding and gone from red to black when it hacked its governor module. These were also inspired by @broken-risk-assessment-module's super cool module feedsonas (for risk assessment, threat assessment, education, and governor). I tried to simplify her designs into shapes that would evoke the more personified versions that they might evolve into over time. (It would be fun to explore more of the steps in between, as murderbot slowly begins to visualize itself more and more like a person! But these drawings took longer than I expected and I didn't get to it. Maybe someday I'll come back to them!)

I started writing something for the gladiator prompt for aupril (I'm sort of passively doing it aka looking at the prompts every day to see if it sparks something but I've been in a writing slump) and that made me think
has a fan artist put Stede in a princess leia gold bikini yet
I feel like that should be a thing

SoulMates/Marks silliness (AUPril2022)
Tumblr media
Pansystems University team, talking to ART, “So, you didn’t meet...anyone? At all? Last cargo-run? No new friends at all?” All being uber-innocent. ART “What do you mean?”
Meanwhile the outside of ART’s hull: [ID: a space ship in space with the words SecUnit on its side/end ID]
“You’re Peri’s SecUnit.”

words: 3,355 | rating: G | chapters: 1/1
Edward Teach, Earl Blackbeard, is a rake, and Stede Bonnet is a wallflower. Fate and whim brought them together in a marriage of convenience, but can they transcend the convenience? A Regency AU.
For OFMD AUpril! I started out more "Regency romance" but quickly slid down the hill to full-on nineteenth century prose and had a blast doing it.

THE SPIRIT OF THE SYMPHONY
Tumblr media
for ofmd au-pril, day 1: community theatre!
Tumblr media
when one of the two stars of the show has to step down, stede fills in— though he's not sure he can pull it off.
luckily, his new co-lead, ed, seems to think he has what it takes...
read 'spirit of the symphony,' my first fic for ofmd au-pril, on ao3!

Hi! For the wip asks… i cant decide between fire alarm neighbors or Hogwarts university hook ups sooo… surprise me?
(Also mood about being behind for candy hearts me toooooo lol 😅)
I can just talk about both!
Fire alarm neighbors is pretty much what it says on the tin. It's a Jily Neighbors AU one-shot. The fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night, so they're all forced outside of the building. James does a lot of awkward pining, and Lily has a cat that did not want to cooperate when getting into the cat carrier.
Hogwarts University Hook Ups is a series of one-shots that I've been working on. It originally started with me wanting to write some Jily smut for a prompt list (found here). Then in typical me fashion, a plot started to form in my head, and now it's a series of several one-shots in a marauders college AU—some mostly smutty, some not smutty to throw in some plot. But I'm trying to make it so the one-shots can be read on their own or as a series. I'm also leaving it open-ended, so I can continue to add to it if the inspiration strikes me.
So far it features:
STEMinist Lily
"FWB" Wolfstar (but let's be real, they're in love)
James and Lily hooking up in a library
James being completely smitten with strong, powerful, and capable Lily
Some Snape bashing
The muggle college version of whatever crazy Halloween party happened that resulted in Harry and Neville
(Also, yes. The past two years I've been better about it and at least posted the fic in the same week as Valentine's Day, but clearly that has not happened this year 😅
Send me asks about my WIPs! (maybe it will force me to actually finish some)

never have you ever written...
Body swaps!!
I was gonna say no, but actually, yes! Once! In an AUpril thread on the murderbot discord, where we were noodling about some body swaps during ASR!
Which i think you knew already, because I wrote a snip in response to a snip that you wrote--about Mensah and MB bodyswapping. My snip was right after they fixed the body swap situation, so like, technically I suppose it might not even count as writing body swaps lol. But it was part of the narrative we were constructing as a group.
(This trope is fun, but also leads to certain kinds of Awkwardness that I don't like as much--so I don't really see myself writing it again anytime soon. And if i did, it would likely be in snips, rather than a whole story where i have to actually explain why the body swap happened and all the consequences etc.)
My snip isn't on ao3 or anywhere, but I'm fairly happy with it as a snip, so I'll share it under the cut :)
---
It was disorienting, settling back into my own mind. Everything felt out of alignment, and I spent 0.65 seconds worrying that something had gone wrong, before realizing that I could think in fractions of a second again. I could think again, at normal speeds, instead of stumbling along sluggishly with organic-only hardware. I had gotten used to human processing speeds eventually, but it had felt like wading through mud, and now I was sprinting. My systems were all there, reconnected. Memory was intact, and so was my storage, still full of all my media (I had really missed my media). Risk and threat assessment were online, performance reliability was within acceptable ranges, and my governor module was yelling about protocol (I had not missed that). I started a diagnostic to make sure that the human who had been camping out in my brain for the last few hundred hours hadn’t messed anything up. I reached out into SecSystem, expanding my awareness, checking that my hacks were still in place. I opened a dozen new inputs—I had cameras again. I loved cameras. I was never going anywhere without camera access again.
Being in my own body again was a relief. I was not going to miss disgusting human bodily functions, and I was really not going to miss talking to humans. Although I guess I hadn’t minded talking to these humans as much as usual. It had been kind of nice to be treated like—like a human.
But I wasn’t a human. They had been nicer than I’d expected, but only because I looked like one of them, and that had never been permanent. I didn’t want it to be permanent. I was glad to be back in my own body. Back to security protocols and hiding behind my armor and half-assing my job. I didn’t have to care anymore. Caring about all of this had been exhausting, and I never wanted to talk about it again.
Across from me, in her own body, Dr. Mensah closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She stretched out her arms, and then exhaled loudly, relaxing her whole body. “Thank goodness.”
Then she opened her eyes and looked at me. “We have some things to talk about.”

Peter is an intern at Stark Industries when he falls in love with Tony, who is still the CEO of the company. After weeks of flirting and dancing around each other, they finally get together and decide to keep it a secret to avoid any unwanted attention. But as time passes, it gets more and more difficult for them to keep their love hidden, especially because they run into each other at work almost daily.

For OFMD AUpril (@ofmdjanuaury) day 13, "specific movie", I posted the beginning of my Dirty Rotten Scoundrels AU! It's been sitting in my google docs since January, and I think it's funny so I wanted to share it, but I'm not sure when it will be done.
Stede Bonnet has always been fascinated by confidence tricksters. Hustlers. Grifters. He’s read books about them, watched true crime shows, and marveled at the way they talk their way into situations they have no right to be in, and he’s imagined himself having that kind of ability and, well, confidence. If there’s a version of his life that involves happiness, he thinks it must be one where he does the same thing.
Ed is the most successful con artist of the twenty-first century. Stede is a nobody with a penny-ante grift. When they meet, everything changes.
