I️ LOVE and ADORE Xaden going from “I️ don’t care about you or your feelings 🙄” to “Why wouldn’t I️ come for you and take you home? 🥺”

It really reminds me of this post where someone made the commentary about Xaden refusing to coddle and be nice to Violet, even downright being an asshole about it

To giving her his flight jacket because gods forbid Violet be cold for the 2-3 minutes they would’ve stood in formation!

Love love love that growth for him, like yes king! Tell us how much you love her through your actions! Give her that flight jacket and everything!

Chapter 35 was such a GIFT! I️ loved it so much! From Mira and Xaden shelving their dislike for each other for V’s sake and just mother henning her! Loved Xaden taking care of her and reaffirming that she can be upset at the threat against her hair and the autonomy she would have been robbed of, had Aetos actually cut it. I️ love how gentle he was, making sure she was okay, even arguing with Tairn about it on the flight home because their whole dynamic in canon is just over protective dragon meets over protective enemy to mutually assured destruction to lovers, and amari give us mercy that Violet gets injured around either one of them.

I️ was so shocked and legit almost cried at the confession because bby boy X was NOT letting her think that he didn’t love her! Really gives a whole “Aretia could burn and I️ wouldn’t care as long as I️ had you.” vibe to it and I️. Am. Not. Okay!!! I️ am not normal or sane about this love confession! V is getting some HONESTY out of this man without having to jump through 5 million hoops or questions about it. X really just said it with both tiddies and his full chest!!

I️ also really loved the display of Rhi and Xaden’s conversation. He knows how much Rhi means to Violet, and having her best friend with her is the best thing for her! I’m so nervous and excited to see if you include a convo with the rest of the squad about her torture sessions and just showing how much they all love her! Cam was right! Everyone who knows Violet Sorrengail is a little bit in love with her!!

I’m curious if Violet is gonna think about how she basically begged for her mom to come with them to Aretia, when she was freed and I️ wonder what Xaden would have done if Lilith had actually planned to go with her daughter… thoughts and theories I️ suppose!!

God Alli, there are so many little things about this chapter that I️ adored and so little time to write about it! I LOVE this fic so much that I️ always am ready to read the next chapter immediately! So ready!! I️ hope this doesn’t pressure you too much but I️ did want to say that I️ adore this fic so much!! 10/10 would highly recommend!!

Also I️ hope my sleep-deprived ramblings made sense lol! Thank you for such a wonderful story and I️ cant wait for the next chapter 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Xaden’s growth has been so fun to write. Just the little moments of his growing respect for Violet, realizing he actually likes her, falling in love—it’s been one of my favorite things about this fic

Thank you! I had a great time with the two contrasting sides of Xaden in this chapter: the version of him who loves Violet and will wipe her tears and do anything for her, and the version that is just an absolute asshole to anyone who isn’t her 😂 if your name isn’t Violet Sorrengail he really doesn’t give a fuck

There’s some squad bonding next chapter 🫶🏻

Violet will definitely be reckoning with that conversation with her mom at some point—Lilith said she’d come, but will she really? Xaden would let it happen for Violet, of course, but it wouldn’t be an easy adjustment lol

Thank you so much for reading and for this ask, I appreciate you 🩷🩷🩷

Can you write some fluffy bam hcs or a fic about reader stealing his clothes all the time?

Fluffy Bam margera headcanons

- lests just start this off with how much of a gentleman he is for you. Getting out of the car and he opens the door for you. Walking into a building always gets doors for you

- massive cuddler in bed legit always has a hold off you

- let's you do his makeup for going out and stuff. It's only ever eyeliner but he loves it when you sit on his lap and he can just hold you

- cat person. Has cats. Just yeah

- when he met your parents for the first time he was a nervous wreck, he nearly cancelled but ryan talked him into going

- tries to teach you to skate but when you fall he's always by your side

- speaking off getting hurt, if your part of the jackass crew and doing a dangerous stunt, he tries to talk you out of it but when you succeed he's right by your side and usually telling you how great you were

- always shows off to you. Trying to do a skating trick ' HEY YN DID YOU SEE' ' YN WATCH THIS'

- also always shows you off likes people to know who you belong too

- he's weried about letting you borrow his clothes but eventually gives in when he comes home one day to you sleeping in his bed in his cky hoodie.

- always likes to be touching you, hand holding, arms around your waist.

- ( if you have them) when your on your period he goes out and gets you all your favrioute snacks and films and yous have a movie night. Always rubs your stomach when you got cramps and gets you anything you need.

- when yous argue he always just gives you a kiss to shut you up. 'BAM I CANT-' kisses you ' fuck you margera'

- When you go to concerts and loce songs come on he always holds you and makes you sing along

- cute drunk. Like really cute. He'll have gone on a night out with his friends and called you too come pick him up as he was too wasted to drive home. He's see you in that parking lot and start flirting with you. ' Hey cutie' 'you got a boyfriend'

- always puts you first. Your having a bad day, everything cancelled. Expect a bed day with lots of cuddles and naps and shitty TV.

- always buying you stuff. If your ot with him and see something you like he'll go back the next day to get it for you. When he'd get home you'd have a go at him for getting you it as you didn't need it. But when you'd refuse to accept it he'd be a dick till you accept it.

- this man worships you he's obsessed with you. Just everything about you is perfect to him.

*******************************************************

Thank you for this request it was really fun too write. I hope you like it and the fiction will be coming soon. As always my requests are always open <3

So im the anon who asked when you'll publish again cuz I missed it and I just wanna say sorry im so late but i jus saw ur post. BESTIE i dont even know where to begin. so first im gonna say i just read the new fermin fic and it was INCREDIBLE. SO CUTE. AND I LOVED IT. second, i want to give you my complete understanding. of course im not a writer but it takes very little empathy to understand why a lack of engagement would make you demotivated to write. im so sorry and im sure others here too that we dont give u the appreciation u deserve. for me personally, its the fact that im afraid to come off on anon and comment with my account, but i realize even i can give feedback through anon. whenever you are ready to come back, even sporadically, i will talk to u more here because u deserve to hear what we think of the fics u so cutely write for us to enjoy. let me just tell you for now that i have never found someone that does non smut in such a mature way. i cant even explain what i am thinking so bare with me i hope you get this. often i just want to read reality and what a real relationship with these boys are like. that's the stuff that makes me kick my feet and giggle fr. but you are one of the only ones that can do that in a way which is perfectly descriptive and realistic. your fic with Gavi for the fight after he waves a sandwich in your face??? BBG. i cant believe i never told u how much i loved that detail. of course it was a shit thing for his character to do but that is the kind of stuff that realistically happens in a relationship fight and leads to a silent treatment and argument -> discussion -> solution like in ur fic. i was reading it with my mouth covered like damn she got it JUST RIGHT. i legit read ur fics over and over they are so SO good and SO well crafted. i really feel like i am in these stories. and i know it wasn't your intent so please dont feel bad for your well deserved post to my anon note, but i feel so embarrassed that i never gave u the credit u deserve. please dont look at this anon and let it pressure u into writing again because that is nowhere near my intention. i just want to say take your time, relax and also GET READY. cz im gonna talk to u more and more like i should and all ur followers should. te queremos!!!!!!!!!!! i even learned some slang from ur culture clash fics

Hello dear anon! I hope you're doing great! :) First of all, I'm truly glad you liked the fermín fic and thank you for taking your time to write this lovely message, it means a lot💖

Thank you for also understanding my point of view, I don't really want to come off as rude or ungrateful, that's not my intention and it will never be. It's just really hard to come, write for hours, wanting to do something enjoyable for others and not get any feedback (I know it is not mandatory but it would be very nice for me and I can take constructive criticism to improve in new writings), but it's also something that it's going to the point where I reblog any ask game or tell you guys that I'm bored and wanna chat with any of you and only two or three asks pop up in my inbox (And I don't even know if those two-three asks are from the same person😭🤷🏻‍♀️) however when I post that my requests are open, I can assure you that my inbox can be 0 but once I come back +20 asks are in there and it makes me kinda feel like I'm just here to write. write. write. write and write😭

I also understand you, if I wasn't a writer here I would also go to my favorite writers inbox and tell them my thoughts as anon but like you said you're writing on anon, which means I don't know your account (or anyone who writes on anon) you could be also commenting on my post/reblogging/etc and I wouldn't even know it's you! Either way I respect that🙏🏻and I appreciate the fact you'll be on my inbox more often either if it's to rant about your day, talk about a fic or anything, even if I'm not as active with writing as I used to be, you can still sent me an ask and I will gladly answer you!🌻✨

I try my best to do the fics as realistic as possible, obviously I don't know the guys (sadly😭) but I try my best to imagine how they can be outside the pitch and insert that into a real life couple with ups and downs but gurrrllll you even made me go back and read the sandwich fic 😂lol. Anywho, I'm really glad you like my fics and go back to read them again when I'm away for a bit. Slang🇻🇪 is very chevere, hopefully I get to do once again Latina!reader😌 Once again thank you for your message and once more I don't want to be rude or ungrateful. 💜 yu guys too, hope you're having a great day/evening/night!

18 and 35 for the ask game please!

How i would combine a Circus AU + Bathtub Fic

thank you for participating with me!!

OK!

So!

First thought was Weasley family circus au where the family itself is a travelling cirrus i have no idea if that's a thing i know most media I've seen is very found family vibes with characters coming into a new family. (or you know abusive situations but I'm electing to ignore those so yes

Weasley Family Circus

maybe it's still a magical world maybe its not

if it is magic somehow then i imagine it be a situation where they had to run during the first war instead of hunkering down and hiding

eventually figuring out they could make money by putting on shows and it spiraling a bit

but that depends a lot on how you think the statue of secrecy works

i think you could hand wave it by making it something that only matters when using wands which I've seen a few times

so like if they enchant say a balance bar to not have to worry so much about not falling off it since they didn't do that in front of the audience it doesn't count

or

the "if the audience doesn't realize its like legit magic then it doesn't trigger whatever they use to tell its been broken because its just a non issue" method which is also very fun imo though cant say I've seen it very often

so pretty much this is all set up for someone who also has magic

i don't know who because i would want it to be someone who doesn't know Percy but it needs to be some bad at keep their mouth shut i think

but someone visiting said circus and getting absolutely drenched but like not water

(what is it? Fred says you don't want the answer)

because of something the twins invented because i just think they would love being in the circus especially because i could see them getting more like support? from Molly specifically since its directly helpful to their act and such

but whatever it is. its obviously not muggle so the person outright asks about it and loudly which obviously they are brushed off but Percy still brings them to the family tent with the intention to get them a towel and maybe a change of clothes

now side note

the family tent has all sorts of muggle charms on it to make it look like well normal so it just looks like a few fairly large tents (it originally looked like a single one but as the kids got older Molly

(and by Molly i really mean Bill, she thinks it was her idea though)

started to notice people talking about them squishing the kids in such a small place and chose to adjust to wards to look like multiple

point is obviously that only effects Muggles so to magic people it looks like one large tent on the outside and obviously looks expansive on the inside pretty much the burrow but its a tent

also because the other prompt is bathtub fic I'm choosing to believe in this au their tub is actually pretty large and kinda nice because the tent was originally a fancy camping tent with a large one meant for relaxing that Arthur found on sale for cheap when Percy was 13

ok back on topic

Percy notices immediately that the person is also magic sense they look far too interested in what should be nothing and ends up letting them use the bath and then you get that fun scene where they get out and are really cute

and Percy gets a crush and penpal for awhile before he leaves the family behind after a few years because he wants to actually settle down somewhere and stuff still leads to a fight and a strained relationship because of the closer nature of the siblings (and because unlike og in this world Percy's the first to leave)

but uh yeah

a smaller secondary concept that crossed my mind was stealing the water transportation from kyo kara maoh but instead of the alternate word being a typical medieval-ish fantasy world its instead still a fantasy world but like Percy taking a bath in the prefects bathroom and wakes up in a circus that is also a kingdom

and now he has alternate vers of a bunch of people he knows wanting his attention due to some vague prophecy nonsense about the one who marries the visitor will prosper but like make it silly

on top of also having to solve different problems and always having a chance of being sent back to his world every time he takes a bath

in other words Percy Weasley gets to play an Otome game but in real life

#percy weasley #ask games #that was so fun to try to make work! #if anyone wants to send me some more feel free! i feel like im in my element #not writing actual fics no but just brainstorming nonsense lol #the weasleys #weasley family

[princecosmosanon]

okay okay, so ik you just responded to an anon ab hearts on the mend but i need to tell you how much i absolutely cherish this fic so hold onto your horses-

i legit have not ever run across a smth like this. i mean ive seen the same tropes, pairings, good characterization etc but i have not actually had a character fulfill my petty wishes! im a very “oh you said this so ima do x, y and z” person AND THAT’S WHAT SOKKA DID. I WAS SO HAPPY WTF. it’s totally unhealthy but i adore me some angst and miscommunication.

i also love angry katara. im not the biggest fan of her but i dont hate her and how you wrote her here made me excited to see her again.

additionally, the characterization is beautiful *chefs kiss* not to mention ZUKO. omg.

i kinda want sokka to run into another alpha/beta or someone that’ll listen to him and help comfort him knowing that zuko is so distant. then zuko, not having sokka’s smell at all, only being able to smell said other person. hehehh i live for drama.

cant wait for what you have planned next, and thank you so much for sharing! take all the time you need, writing is supposed to be fun, not just another chore to tick off (unless you prefer it that way? if so, you do you). you had no obligation to share this with us but omg im so glad you did <3

It’s okay! I savored this ask for a long while so I could bask in it~ hope you don’t mind :3

I’m so glad you feel my characters hit just the right marks for you! Sokka has been a lot of fun to write! I feel like I could make him a little snarkier, a little more sarcastic, but he doesn’t feel fully at home right now and doesn’t want to make a bad impression even after he’s had so many bad impressions from Zuko. He’s still gotta do his best so his family and tribe reap the benefits of his marriage. Such a dutiful boy!

Angry Katara… I feel like she is owed… so much! Like, I get it. In the show she was barely a teenager and she still had so much love and hope in her heart, but there’s something so satisfying about a character who is usually so kind and patient and good just… letting themselves also feel the very depths of their negative emotions. Katara has already experienced sadness and grief. She deserves to relish her rage!

Haha! Zuko is already super jealous of the other characters Sokka hangs around. ;3 He definitely has his reasons for hanging back though. Hopefully you’ll get to know what they are sooner rather than later??

Anyway, I’m so happy to know my fic is one you enjoy~ I wish I had all the time and inspiration in the world to write, but alas, I’m very very busy most days of my week. I rarely have a day just to myself anymore. And often when I sit down to write the words just… don’t happen.

Still, I haven’t given up on myself or my story. Hopefully you and all the other readers don’t either.

Thank you again for your kind message! I really do appreciate it! <3

ok sorry to be coming a day late but i was star struck after the concert and i was mingi brainrot all day yesterday it was ridiculous. (legit spent all day watching my concert videos and went on a great quest on all the socials to find more clips of the concerts also my in laws came to visit)

BUT enough about me!

about family for hire! i loved chapter 2 so much!

spoilers under the cut

again i loved yunho's and mc's friendship in it. he's such a great friend and a cutie. he peptalked her to infinity we love to see it.

but in term of cuteness he doesn't come close to the man of the hour the one and only park seonghwa. he was adorableeee like my heart was just aching the whole time (plus i was reading this while standing in line and gosh i was just gushing).

and when yunho said "hot daddy" i felt that.

and seonghwa just babbling about nari!!!! i could see the hearts in his eyes as he browsed throught the numerous pictures on his phone. and when he opened up to mc about their past and the unresolved shit they still had it was so genuine i wanted to hug him so badddd. like sometimes the dads need a hug too :(

and mc!!! what a business woman (maybe im falling for her a lil bit too lolz). i loved how she took advantage of the moment by dropping the plan to seonghwa. and at the same time i feel like between the lines this was just an escape for her. maybe the memory of that night hurts too much and she pushed her pain deep down to forget about it and she wasnt ready to open the wound back up again. so she jumped to known and reassuring territory meaning business, work. idk.

but seonghwa on the other hand i feel like paternity forced him to become somebody that is in touch with his feelings to be able to understand his daughter's. if u want to connect to anybody you have to open up and i feel mc is struggling with that maybe seonghwa can show her that showing vulnerability isn't being weak... quite the opposite. (i struggle with that all the time)

its beautiful cause they have a lot to learn form each other and i cant wait to see what you have in stock for this fic.

but i loved it like everything you dooo~~ you are so talented it's insane like gorllll leave some for the rest of us.

ps: also cant wait to read long exposure!!!

Hiiii omg it is completely fine!!! I am so so so happy that you had such a wonderful time at the concert and literally the day after being dedicated to brainrotting is basically a necessity, let's be real (also btw how are you after that Mingi Instagram video of him dancing to CUFF IT? xD)

Aaaaaaaah this warms my heart so much omg!!! ;~; thank you thank you~~ Really glad that you are enjoying the best friend Yunho energy (and his comments about Seonghwa ahah)!!! MY HEART IS MELTING RIGHT NOW OH MY ;~;

Becoming a father has definitely changed Seonghwa, and as you say, it has actually made him more open to the idea of love (and more open in general); he is very much of the opinion even his dark times should be a learning ground for him to know how to raise Nari well, and give her as safe and as happy home as possible :) (and yes let's give him a big hug ;~;)

Mc definitely has... some things she really needs to work through, but with these kinds of things only time will really tell, and how her venture into what she calls 'business' will turn to influence her and her relationships.

again from the bottom of my heart I thank you so much!!!!!!! <3 wink wink I am actually in the process of writing the next chapter and hopefully it will be up soon (ahah trying my best, thank you for your patience ;~;)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COMING FROM YOU EXCUSE ME YOU ANGEL!?!?!? YOU TALENTED HOOMAN!?!? LEMME GIVE YOU A HUGE HUG RN THIS IS NOT A REQUEST THIS IS A LOVING THREAT <3<3<3

Much love <3

ps: omgomgomgomgomog thank you ;~;

[prettyboykatsuki]

ur megumi piss fic as a whole stuck with me tbh. megumis characterization is so accurate to me and definitely my favourite, and READER!!! the way u wrote them was so hot to me i wanna have a 3some with both of them so bad god. (when reader was calling him soft and pretty and shit I WAS JNSNNK) the dialogue drove me crazy it felt like i was reading canon (i could be wrong but i don’t think there’s any like DATING happening cuz it’s not a romance manga which is fine but bc the way u write megumi felt so accurate and like i was reading jjk novel form or something) and then. and THEN! he said “quit smoking” AHHHHHRRAGGGHHHH had me giggling and kicking my feet cuz wow THEE megumi has a crush and and and AND THE END WHEN HE TELLS READER TO CALL HIM MEGUMI FUCK FUCK I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT IM SWOONING SO HARD OVER HIM (wow the bar is rlly low bc to me that was him confessing his love fr but it honestly shocked me when him and reader started doing….that cuz like i said it felt like i was reading CANON and i could picture the scene so clearly of megumi not being interested and reader being so mf hot then it got explicit i was like woah. woah. yes.) your megumi characterization is always superior and so so special to me <3 AHHHHH (one more loving scream bc i just reread it and i’m spiralling all over again sorry if none of this makes sense it was so hard to describe how it made me feel other than it felt so REAL. like watching a movie)

im so shy sdfnsdkjksj

i am reading this ask WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE. I AM SOOO BAD AT RESPONDING TO COMPLIMENS BUT IM GENUNELY SO ELATED BY THIS ASK LIKE HELLO!!!!!!

i love writing megumi im much better at writing gojo but megumi is easily my favorite and i just... im SOOO glad that you feel like my characterization for him is accurate. HE deserves only the best to me im very happy about that. AND SAYING THAT YOU FEEL IS CLOSE TO CANON!!!!!

AND THAT IT FELT REAL!!! i really try hard with ambiance and i wanted that fic to feel like...legit. i wanted the vibes to be there 100% like you were watching these two people rlly go at it. the quit smoking thing...that's how he flirts your honor.

[bonesandthebees]

Opens door gently this time

Soooo i went to reread the last two chapters of stars but then i kept seeing a reference to the previous chapter and next thing you know I've scrolled to chapter 20 😭

Anyways long story short i binged chapters 20-28 of stars today LMFAOOO

I cant believe so much shit happens with no break like huhhh, i thought it was 2 chapters of intenseness but nope 😭 those poor boys really did not get a break till the absolute end ohmygod

I ended up screaming in a lot of the ask i was gonna send so ima just cut it down to the legible parts lmfao 😭

The sum up of the screaming is pre much just: stars sandduo holyshit i love them so much

Every time there was a sandduo scene i felt like my chest was going to explode omg 😭😭😭 i gen forgot how to breathe shdkgkfjdkfjf they just ooohhhhh its just such a good dynamic, also damnnn brooo reading the phil pov today really showed just how similar they are together, the both of them were in such denial over being father son lmfao 😭

BROOO PHIL LEGIT TELLS HIM THAT HIS NICKNAME IS SMTH ELYTRIANS CALL THEIR CHILDREN AND MANS WAS STILL LIKE "nope ✋️" im cryinggg hahahaha

Also brooooo stars crimeboys are So Brothers i cant they make me Sick

Like out of all the crimeboys in ur fics, idk man u just,, did such a good job?? At making them seem like biological brothers. Cause i love found family crimeboys, but that type of brothers is a diff vibe from biological siblings, and you did such a good job at capturing it. I remember reading the first chapter of stars and getting smack cammed by the sheer Brotherness they gave off. They really reminded me of me and my sister (we r also half siblings!! It's cool seeing half sibling rep) eueueueu :( /pos

ALSO I love how you write Techno so much, in all of your fics, you always capture the intimidating aura plus the genuine softer personality and his humour, it's so lovely i love him, holds stars!techno softly, hes sooo skrunkly

I like seeing the parallels between stars and glass, especially the power that names hold in both fics, it's so cool. All of ur fics are so neat

Godddd the crimeboys reconciliation scene is one of my favourite scenes in any fanfiction ever ohkygod my heart hurt so much reading it it was so good holyshit

Im still also not over how Phil was proud when Wilbur one upped him, mans just got destroyed and he was just like "omg thats my son!!! Right there!!!" Im cryingggg i love sandduo so much

I am feeling so emotionally drained (/pos) after all of that tho 😭😭 i just went through all five stages of grief like 8 different times lmfaooo

Im gonna cope by writing my own sandduo (is this healthy? Probably not but who cares, sandduo 4 life ☝️)

rn my mental image is that with your first ask you slammed the door open and screamed and now you're just gently opening it and peeking your head in and it's very funny to me

damnn binging 20-28 in a single day that's so much

literally so much happened towards the end of stars. basically I had a ton of things building up to the crimeboys fight, and once that happened everything was falling down a mountain from there. they literally got next to no breaks.

phil and wilbur are soooo similar it's so funny. like there was a reason everyone around them was like "damn you really are like phil" to wilbur 😭

man that makes me so happy to hear that I did a good job with the bio sibling rep. writing crimeboys as biological brothers is definitely a slightly different vibe from the found family brothers. I don't know how to explain it, but it definitely feels different for me to write. thankfully it's not something I have to think about much. it's a natural shift that's easy to switch to (which is a bit ironic considering I myself am an only child lmao)

aaa ty for the compliments about how I write techno!! out of sbi techno has always been the one whose characterization i struggle with the most. I've definitely gotten more comfortable writing him over the years, but back when I was writing clinic i was SO stressed writing that one on one scene with him and tommy. I think one of the biggest issues I have with the way a lot of people characterize him is how they forget his humor. techno is funny, and will crack jokes even at inappropriate moments. obviously I have to keep the tone of a story in mind which is why techno isn't cracking very many jokes in stars, but he still has his moments of levity which i think are really important to him as a character.

can you tell I have a Thing for names and the roles they can play with vulnerability and trust. I just love exploring that concept man idk why

phil being proud of wilbur using his Voice on him was one of the earliest planned things about stars I had. sooooo satisfying to write oh my god

tysm for all the kind words though I'm so glad you enjoyed your reread!! have fun with your own sandduo :)

fanfic writer 20 questions

i wasn't tagged but @zebsfloppyears invited anyone who wanted to do this to do so, n i was bored. hope u dont mind vienna!

1. how many works do you have on ao3? 79. i have 79 works. and im working on a long fic rn so i probably wont be uploaded another fic for a while to make that number rounded. its bothering me. 2. whats your total ao3 word count? 232,222 3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they? 7 fandoms! most.. prolifically? if i may use that word.... for loz breath of the wild, and his dark materials. 4. what are your top five fics by kudos? 1. finding words enough - i legit dont remeber much of this but basically link is mute and revali speaks on his behalf. ppl seem to love it. rated G. 2. making cocoa for spencer reid - just a lil criminal minds family piece between rossi and reid, idk. bit of a character study! rated T. 3. magic might stain the air - my first merlin fic i posted (out of 2. lmao) but i really hate this one becaue i rushed it and i could have done so much better!!!!! rated M, beware tags. 4. snow on snow, snow on snow - i rllyy dont remember this one at all. lmao. link/revali pre-slash, rated G. 5. whenever we feel - we evaporate - i think? this was my first fic on ao3! and it's the first part of a lil aziraphale/crowley series that became dearly beloved to me but i never really got back to. rated T.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind? i have been known to write smut occasionally, though i dont think i have a "kind" or a "brand".

10. have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i know of, but (as vienna said in their answer), it's not something that i think about or check for!

11. have you ever had a fic translated? nope! i welcome it though.

12. have you ever co-written a fic before? nope! in theory i would be open to it however i am probably very difficult to work with lmao

13. whats your all time favourite ship? such a hard question because it rlly depends what fandom im currently in, but. baruch/balthamos live rent free in my head. as do aziraphale/crowley, espeically my specific brand of them which is queerplatonic <3

14. what's a wip you want to finish but dont think you ever will? lmao if you had asked me a week ago, i would have said my current longfic, when you catch him, he burns through your heart, like a shooting star burns the skies but im actively up and working on that again, so. i guess something i dont imagine i'll return to any time soon is my series of harth/link fics, you hold my touch in you, simply because it's been a while now, and i dont imagine that such a minor npc as harth will be in botw's sequel, so... how will i rekindle my desire to write for them. idk! it's all up in the air though - i haven't necessarily abandoned any of my unfinished fics, theyre just on indefinite haitus.

15. what are your writing strengths? i would like to think that my poet's voice shines through my prose and therefore that my description is sufficiently good! lmao i have to sometimes physically stop myself from writing 5 paragraphs waxing poetic about the scenery. also honourary mention to dialogue. im pretty proud of some of the lines of dialogue ive written.

16. what are your writing weaknesses? hhghgh action. handling a big plot sensitively. ive been really struggling with making sure ive got hold of all my threads in my long fic. i dont think ive let go of any yet but im constantly paranoid that ive dropped one lmao. also i find action so hard!! the pacing of it, the choice of words, the making sure the reader doesnt get bored by not over or under describing whats happening! hhg.

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? if this means in the sense that a character is speaking a different language in the fic, then. i've seen it done a few ways. personally i ofc want to understand whats being said, so i like it best when the line is written in english but perhaps put in italics, with a tag saying smth like "they said in french/whatever langauge". ive also seen it done as typed in the langauge followed by the english translation in italics. either way works, i just don't rlly like it when it's completely untranslated!! even having like a lil dictionary in the end notes works.

18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for? good omens lmao. i wrote fic before that but im not going into that, and i dont even think i could find it again bc it's lost in the depths of ff.net. i was also 13/14. so yeah :/

19. what's your favourite fic you've ever written? ppl dont really like this fic bc it's gen/not shippy and possibly also bc it was inspired by music, but. i have a real soft spot for my fic rose quartz and cool safflina. (botw, T) i wrote it while listening to la dispute's album panorama, and i think having the music helped me write with such a good flow. it's a very poetic piece, though. not for everyone. i also rlly like the great frost of 1684 (good omens, Gen) though neither of them are anywhere near my popular works' stats.

20. who do you tag? low pressure tagging @snidgetwidgeon, @itcantbe, @cyraclove, @unmaskedcardinal and everyone else who fancies it!!

SORRY BUT review pt 2 because i CANT drop this chapter and I NEED to scream about the parts I can’t stop thinking about. hollow people is currently living in my head rent free homie and i freak the fuck out every time if i even THINK ABOUT THINKING about this chapter

god gOD GOD the way you sell adams spiral is just so painful. he doesn’t want to feel this way, so helpless and afraid and hurt as his worldview continually shatters right in front of him. it’s just siwnwoahnsndowjbskxu

also Blake’s hands hanging by thread made me SEVERELY uncomfortable. (in a good way!!) like. FUCKING OW.

> "I did love you, Adam."

>He paused. Glanced at her. "Your love was a lie."

LIKE he really truly believes that in that moment and it’s just DUMBASS PLEASE STOP.

> Was he just afraid?

> But he was so angry.

> Killing Blake was supposed to set things right. It was supposed to erase the cracks spiraling through his foundations. It was supposed to fix him. How could this be wrong? How could it—no. Why was it just making things worse?

duuUUUUDDDE my heart HURTS reading his anger and confusion. fuck I can FEEL it. that burning sensation and spiraling mind and frustration and its just. no words. no fucking words

> Good gods, he was unwell.

BITCH i be saying that this WHOLE DAMN TIME. YES YOU ARE VERY UNWELL.

> Something that, for years, everyone had left to fight its fear alone.

AGHHGGAHHHHHHH GOD that just STINGS

> She drew in a breath—

> And the ceiling caved in.

JESUS FUCK you are NOT forgiven for that. FUCKING HELL IT WAS SOWNSNALZWONAIS DJW

> "No, Yang," she strangled the urge to cough again, "you need to stop. I was getting through to him."

> "Blake. He was going to kill you."

LMAOOO honestly take a shot every time yang tells her stubborn as fuck gf to stop heading into situations that’ll kill her. or at least stop being blind to the goddamn high ass probability????? legit you’ll get alcohol poisoning.

and that little ruby vs Adam bit??? i LOVE how you write rubys combat. it’s so fluid

> Adam took most on Wilt and pushed against the last with a fierce grin and his hair aglow. She froze, terror she couldn't control locking her muscles and preventing her from dodging.

FUCKING CALL BACK FUCK YEAH

> Blood dripped from the new wound on his forehead.

serious moment but bloody Adam?? thank you 😋

and blake apologizing to him and he just can’t believe it DAMN IT that hurts. AHGH GOD those two.

Also homie DO NOT thank me for screaming at you about your fic because IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO READ. seriously this is absolutely amazing thank you.

(im too much of a dumbass to pick up the heavy foreshadowing you’re blatantly putting down IM SORRRYYYYYY)

cannot believe you just and hit me with a part two lmao and I will thank you as much as I damn well please. I get so few reviews that I cherish the ones you send in 😊

I'm so glad that your reaction to everything Adam did in this chapter was along the lines of, "You absolute idiot, please stop." Like we can all see that he's about as lost as a person can be but all he can see is the purpose he's so desperately clinging to. It takes Blake putting her whole life on the line solely to refuse him - not to win the fight, but to say he's wrong - for him to realize it.

And yeah, Blake's injuries are a bit graphic if you bother to imagine them. But if Weiss can be de-impaled, then Blake will probably be fine. Probably.

Hello! I am very late because I unfortunately did not have the time to read chapter 11 when you uploaded it so my bad for coming to you with tears and screaming about feelings a week later (just as you uploaded a new chapter which i also have feelings about): you broke my heart! MY HEART GOT SHATTERED! I loved the beginning of it that showed Brian taking care of Justin and being around him (god i wish we got more of that in s2) but my heart still broke for both of them. Justin bring in pain and frustrated and Brian just being lost while trying his best. “He pours every unspoken word from that parking garage into the impossible task of managing every detail of Justin’s treatment” oh how about you just stab me in the heart and get over it? I legit wanted to cry while reading this chapter. Btw also my jaw dropped and so did my heart when Mikey called Brian a whore at comicon, i literally threw my phone on the bed and walked away. I was ready to fight him all while hugging Brian (you know what Kevin heart meme where a woman is holding him like a kid, basically me) NOW, here comes the real heartbreak. The night alone. I wanted to fucking cry when reading the rest of the chapter. “…across the dark loft and in the quiet of the night that makes bravery possible, that it had also been the best night of his life” vs “But a bat did slice through the air of that best night and took it all away.” MY HEART! I genuinely gasped at that part because poor Brian and obviously Justin but in this case Brian finally felt something and it was stolen and i am having an entire crisis over it. The only thing I did love (by THAT i mean as in like “yessss!!!!!” Type of moment, because trust me i LOVED every single word in this chapter even if did slice me in half when i read it) was when Ted recommended Brian marketing and more education. Like yes baby!! You were made for that!!! But also the ending with Mikey and Brian? It was very much needed and expected obviously but you did it very well. It obviously kills Brian because of his promises but im so happy that they finally let him walk away. And the ending with Emmett? Gosh, i am a slut for Kinneycutt so thank you for delivering them from the beginning but especially in this little moment. And obviously the ending once again HURT. “The days turn dark and cloudy after Justin leaves. // this is just another gloomy winter in Pittsburgh. That the sun will shine again.” MY HEART IS GONE! Cant even describe the moment when I read this paragraph because it was a mix between jaw on the floor and a sobbing mess. Anyway sorry for this extremely long blabbering message.

Hello dear sweet anon!

You NEVER have to apologize for coming to my asks at any point to talk about a fic! It could be the minute I post or years later… I can pretty confidently tell you that this is true for any other fic writer ever.

It physically hurt me to write what Mikey said to Brian. But also it feels canonically accurate (301! 301!) even though I didn’t have Brian punch him for this (because Brian would only punch Mikey to defend Justin not to defend himself).

Brian having those memories alone is the most heartbreaking part of S2 for me. I am so glad I was able to capture that heartbreak in this chapter for you. (And sorry because Feelings but also happy).

Kinneycutt my beloved! I’m so glad you love them as much as I do. Underrated duo (although I think the tumblr fandom has appropriate appreciation for them).

Sorry not sorry that I love that you sobbed and that the chapter “sliced you in half.” I am 100% here to make people Feel Things With My Words and this message has brought immense joy to my day/week/month/year.

i hope you don’t mind me dropping by your ask box so frequently, but im the anon who asked those fic writer questions (4, 13, 15) and also the same person who asked about the whole critique/advice thing. ive genuinely never thought about it that way and what you said stuck to me, especially the last two lines, don’t stop making plums, people need plums, it’s so oddly motivational and im completely in awe at how you were able to come up with that which brings me to my next question uh

how do you write so vividly?

you’re the author i wanted critique from, surprise, hehe.

it’s just that the way you phrase certain things makes what should have been a vague but known feeling not so vague, if that makes sense? i feel like im speaking out of my ass right now but you have a way with words is what im saying, and i see that especially in the ninth visit and blackmail material chapter 2, and i cant stop thinking about how you can come up with such profound ways of writing mundane things.

im gonna sign off because the last two asks ive sent in tells me this may not be the last time im anonymously hitting up your ask box again.

— reddie anon

reddie-sweetheart. butterfly. my little love. firstly you are so kind and i’m honestly so fuckin honored. this legit made my heart hurt ♡ thank you. i’m so glad that my writing has resonated with you in these ways.

i was thinking about this all day since i saw your ask. i’m not completely sure i know which parts of my writing felt really vivid to you personally and i am not completely sure i can tell you how my brain works (‘cause mostly it’s just fucked in there) but there are two things i do when I’m trying to evoke a specific emotion or vibe and I can try to share those??

1. i think about how an emotion feels physically in my body.

most people don’t know what emotions they’re experiencing when they’re experiencing them. emotions are hard and it’s often not till later that we can reflect on them && say “oh i was heartbroken,” “i felt betrayed,” “i was in amazement.” so when a character is having a reaction, I think about where I feel those responses in my own body (hunching shoulders? falling stomach? a sudden release of tension in the neck?), and those are the reactions I try to describe. (especially when you’ve got a character like fuckin rocket who wouldn’t recognize an emotion if someone pointed to to it on a goddamn chart)

2. i think about what other things are that evoke the same feeling for me.

so like when i say that you, reddie-nonnie, are a warm cup of honey-tea on a foggy morning, you probably know what i mean. i mean : your words offered me great comfort and healing. i mean: your kindness soothed my heart/soul/mind. i mean - you are sweet and hydrating and good. i mean that you are a little bit of brightness and i am grateful you exist.

and when i say your stories are plums, you probably also know what i mean. you’ve probably seen plums. there’s a good chance you’ve eaten some. but even if you haven’t, you can probably figure out that they’re juicy. sweet. nourishing. and that there’s nothing else quite like them.

so. IN PRACTICE. sometimes i write all this in a rough draft and have to go back and edit these weird-ass descriptions down because i get too deep in my head/too far out in space and i stop making sense lol. other times i write my drafts very plainly and it isn’t till revision that i say, okay - how can i make people really understand that when i say he was awestruck what i mean is, like, his tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth and his heart was on the floor?

i REALLY hope this was helpful for you. I don’t know how much of it, if any, made sense, but i will always be flattered by any questions you ask and i will do my best to answer thoughtfully, thoroughly, honestly, and as well as i can. have a lovely night (day??) reddie-nonnie and thank you for trusting me with this question - I hope the answer was what you were looking for ♡♡♡

Hi dear shanna

I have been following you for years now. I haven't sent an ask or communicated directly with you before but i feel daring today so brace yourself 😤)your fics were one of the first fics I read on tmblr, when I got into reading fics and your the sole reason why I was drawn to it and started reading em. I was never into fics hell I had no idea it was a thing until one of my friend showed me it, how she spend most of her time reading well one direction fics on tmblr and that's how I was introduced to the app. But at that time I was really more into kpop than anything else so I'd mostly follow kpop blogs. And thennn one day I saw one of your fics, which was also jks fic (I was a hard-core jk bias at that time, still am but I'm also a hard-core ot7 but that's beside the point) and I was like shit I should try this and see what's the hype is about and ooooooooh boi when I tell you I fell, I fell fucking hard. Landed ri8 on my fking face, into the planet of fanfics only to find there's no escape out of this place. And admittedly So, i read all your fics legit in like 2 days (well can u blame me? They was so fucking good😭) . And that's how I started spending all of my spare time reading fics (lmao ik).

And honestly these fics have helped alot and in so many ways. For once, I stopped feeling bored and lonely all the time lol I finally had something to be excited about. It gave me en escape from my stressing schedule and boring life. Gave me a sort of relief, knowing I could always just open my fav fics and read em instead of feeling lonely or well, sad. So yeah, they helped me alot especially in high-school which is let's be honest not the best time for all. And I just cant imagine how I'd make through all that bullshit without bts and without our amazing authors( and yes i give credit to all them talented authors along with you becoz they deserve it just as much) And I'm forever grateful to you guys and especially you, given, your the rzn I even started liking fics ( if it wasn't for you i wouldve never considered reading em at all, which makes u all the more special to me) . Maybe I was lucky I found a good author or fic as a starter but nonetheless I'm greatfull for you and every writer here on tmblr and Ao3. I am in college now, a junior. And I'm still going strong (with my fanfic journey). The purpose of this big ass essay is to tell you, just how much you mean to us and just how much you helped us, how you became a gateway to my little heaven. You might not know this but you mean alot to us more than you could ever imagine. ( including all the other authors I'm so thankful to you guys too) I'm so happy your here and going strong. I hope we can stay together for all the more years to come.

With lots of love

i love your take on the donna/amy & sam/josh parallels! i'm curious — do you have any post-canon/santos admin headcanons for them? (individually, as a group, friendships, romances, whatever you want!)

ahh thank you!! and, jesus, oh boy yes. i have... over 100k of a wip on post-canon/santos admin headcanons for them (especially amy, of course) so. yes.

like. where to start? i guess writing the santos admin stuff is where i really started to get invested in amy & sam which. i was not expecting, but i do in canon really love her talking him into running partially, and her working on his campaign, and him telling josh that she didn't break up with her boyfriend for him. but basically, like, with her as DoLA and him as DCoS, assuming he takes to it at all in the way the show presents the role before (or, i guess how josh did it), they'd be working together a lot and i think they are both, in a way, idealistic and would really want to push for even unrealistic agendas (as would santos. josh would be going a little insane, but it's not like he doesn't have his fair share of it, too). i actually really love writing their banter in, its fun! 

i also really, really like writing donna working for helen in the santos admin in general but also specifically in the context of her relationship with amy (whatever that relationship may be. i mean. the way i write it it is romantic but. yk) bc like, amy had that job, and amy kind of... struggled in that job? and i think donna struggles with it some, too, but i think it's something that amy would say donna is better at (because, well, she probably is. for one, in my mind she lasts a hell of a lot longer in it than amy did. i love amy, but like, given the hand she was dealt in that role and her character at that point, it was not the best job for her-- i actually struggle a little with amy post canon because of her "i wasn't made to serve at someone else's pleasure" and other lines in constituency of one). but i do think like at the beginning, it's something amy can give some advice on. and donna, in turn, can give advice on how the fuck to work in the white house, and for josh, and with sam, because at least two of those things are not things which amy has historically excelled at.

oh and josh and amy argue all the time. he and santos hired her for a reason, and i argue that it's not just because she's great at lobbying, etc, but also that she will push them further to the left and almost hold them accountable to their ideals (or. her own. that's okay, too). and he knows that, and she knows that, and it doesn't make them argue less. she thinks that he or santos is gonna fire her like. weekly in the beginning. she almost quits monthly in the beginning. but they figure it out and know that, as much as they argue, it is, in a weird way, part of what makes them work well together, pushing each other to be better. doesn't make sam, who has to be there for a lot of it, and donna, who has to hear them both complain about the other, hate it any less.

i have a lot, and i do mean a lot of other thoughts about them, and their futures during and beyond the santos admin, and how the four of them fit into the rest of the santos admin (is anyone surprised that i’m invested in amy & lou?) but like. i do genuinely have a novel about that in my google drive so. i do not know how to answer the question lmao. 

#i am sorry if this makes no sense or if you want more but like the long and short of it is. they all love each other! #like so much! and they have really interesting dynamics! and ahhh god. i need to finish this damn fic #(i do actually have SO many thoughts about santos admin sam and josh bc i legit made myself very sad thinking about them at one point but #the only line i know how to use to describe it is in the fic and i want it to. stay there and only there for now. i think. but just like if #you think about sam and josh and that sam left and ran for congress and hartsfields landing and josh going out to texas and begging santos #to run; to be his guy... then you get what i'm talking about. (and if you think about how i see amy and josh or to an extent josh and donna #then you REALLY get what i'm talking about)) #and like. post canon amy and donna is kind of everything to me. i also think a lot about all of them and donna and like. #cross wing conflict. or-- and this is something i dont delve into as much-- but things that josh knows and cant really tell any of his #people about. also like at some point i need to sit and think about the nsc card (part 2. and maybe part 3?) #and i just think that any configuration of the four of them is so entertaining to me. i love them so much #tww #asks #answered #quolant #amy gardner #donna moss #sam seaborn #josh lyman #hope that works re: tags i dont feel like moving them this time lol #(also i know i just like. threw lou and helen in there but please think about it. and then think about all of them and matt-- #amy and matt fascinate me bc they're like! friends kind of? they've worked together they joke together it's a president she can respect #and push (maybe too hard?) and joke with and. not feel what she feels when jed yells at her in constituency of one. #or what she feels when abbey says 'should i get someone else?' ALSO i am deeply invested in helen's initiatives as a character who is #hesitant about politics and publicity and then speaks out against felon disenfranchisement. love her) #and to no ones surprise my tags got long and tangenty! i will finish this fic one day and you will have. uh. a LOT of santos admin thoughts #about them readily available to you and maybe after that my brain will be better at a) talking about that version of it and #b) talking about other versions of that dynamic. thank you!
