oooh I, M, Q, T, W for the fanfic asks?
Thanks for asking! I rambled a little on some of these answers.
[Fanfic Ask Meme]
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
Not really? I’ve kinda given up on considering anything a guilty pleasure, and I have just decided to read or write whatever the fuck I want. I think it's working out for me pretty well so far, considering I'm having fun.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
I don’t really have a lot on the back burner; I’m trying to spend my time working on the Five Years Later AU, Blue’s canon, and prompts. These are a few ideas that I would consider on the back burner:
Rooney’s Canon: This is for my Shepard from Mass Effect. It is going to happen, but I think I need to take an afternoon and just plan it all out. I have a few ideas here and there, but I would like something more concrete.
World Ender: This is a recent idea, but oh boy, this one is gonna go full-tilt horror. Essentially, Blue dies at the hands of the Seeds and is buried in a shallow grave. But Surprise! They came back from the dead, and something isn’t quite right with everyone’s favorite goofball. It's heavily inspired by Lord Huron's The World Ender.
Batman (2022) Longfic: I would love to write a longfic for Blue’s DC canon, but I just don’t have any specific ideas right now. I figure after I write a few prompts for them; I’ll figure it out. That’s how it usually happens anyway.
And all my original stuff.
Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?
Essentially any fandom that isn’t Mass Effect, FC5, or DC. I’m just generally not really interested in those projects anymore, but I may revisit them at a later date. I have two Fallout oneshots, a Cyberpunk 2077 oneshot, and a The Outer Worlds oneshot that are unfinished at the moment.
I also have a few discarded scenes from the Werewolf fic. Originally, Blue wasn’t going to know the werewolf who was attacking Hope County, but I thought it would make it more interesting if they did. Also, the scene where Blue and Joseph are having tea in the Church, was originally a scene where Blue accidentally runs into Joseph and his siblings while in their wolf form. While adorable, I didn’t think it fit the fic well. Unfortunately, for y’all, you missed John getting knocked over by Blue’s wagging tail.
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
I wanna preface this with a 'Mutuals, none of this is about you.' As far as I know/remember, I don't think I've seen anyone do this.
I don’t know if this really counts as a trope, but I immediately nope out of a fic if a writer starts being weirdly fucking aggressive towards a character that is either (a) a potential rival love interest for their ship or (b) a character’s canon love interest. It is 20-fucking-22; you do not have to hate on that character. Also, there is a double layer of awfulness because the character is usually female, and some writers feel like they have to make that character an Evil Woman™. And not to be the pettiest fucking bitch alive, but the dude they’re fighting over isn’t worth it.
In general, I’m not a huge fan of when a writer demonizes another character unfairly, especially when the characters they’re writing about is equally shitty. I’m not saying the character shouldn’t be a bastard; I actively encourage that. Sometimes, a writer's biases show, and it can kinda ruin the fic. I find the FC5 fandom can be kinda egregious about this. For example, I find they can demonize Joseph a bit unfairly, but John, the man who fucking skins people, is a poor soft boy who must be protected. They’re both bastards; just let them be bastards.
W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
I feel like I walk a fine line with this. If a prompt is too general or too specific, I think I struggle a little bit. I usually find I work best off of Dialogue prompts or action prompts. Most dialogue prompts are pretty general and I feel like I can work them in some way. Although, if someone sends me a prompt, I'm always willing to give it a try.

Sarah’s 100 Followers Challenge!
Firstly, thank you to all those following me! I did not expect to get into writing fanfiction (even though I’ve been an avid fanfic reader for years) when I started using Tumblr at the end of last year. I really just needed to try and find more Hvitserk fanfics to read so I turned to Tumblr and it did not disappoint. Then I certainly did not expect to meet such wonderful mutuals and reach 100 followers after I did start writing back in April. So to celebrate this milestone I’m doing a challenge! Participating in @maggiescarborough - 500 followers challenge is how I got the courage to start writing and sharing that writing. They’re really fun and creative and I would love for anyone and everyone to participate if you wish! They’re a great way to make friends, try something new, or challenge yourself!
Sarah’s 100 Followers Challenge - a few rules:
Writing, moodboards, artwork, whatever you’re inspired to do is welcome!
Send your request for a prompt (list below) you wish to use as an ask. (It will be the easiest way for me to keep track of everyone)
I will update this post as people request prompts - two people per prompt before it will be closed.
I have many fandoms I am a part of even though my writing has only been for TLK so far, so please feel free to do something outside of The Last Kingdom. I love Vikings (especially Hvitserk), Black Sails, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and many others, so just ask me.
You are free to write anything you wish - AU, canon, OC’s, X Reader, angst, fluff, smut, anything! But I do ask that if you write on a sensitive/mature topic you use appropriate trigger or ratings for any smut.
My prompts are song lyrics below (golly I hope you guys like my music taste or at least find something inspiring). You can use just the lyrics I’ve picked or add other portions of the songs if you wish. Break the lyrics up, keep them together, whatever inspires you. A link to a spotify playlist is at the bottom of this post if you want to listen to them.
Use the Read More function if it’s more than 500 words.
The deadline will be September 30th.
Please tag me in your submissions and use the tag #sarahs100followers

RP Masterlist
Plots. Prompts. AUs. Tropes. What have you.
#YAS #UNF-- GOOD SHIT #👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 GOOD SHIT GO౦Ԁ SHIT👌 THATS ✔ SOME GOOD👌👌SHIT RIGHT👌👌THERE👌👌👌 RIGHT✔THERE ✔✔IF I DO ƼAҮ SO MY SELF 💯 I SAY SO �
Please know this: These will be updated from time to time! Many of these plots I’ve worked hard on and am eager to try out. Yes, a lot of them are romantic or darkly romantic -- sorry. Most of these can be altered to fit whatever we want. Some of them will be pretty hard to RP, I recognize. Whoops! Plenty of these can be really angsty, dark, and well -- hopefully we can have some fun with that.
Plots.
“Take it Back” // Pink Floyd
Post-Apocalyptic AU
Ten or so years after the Zombie Outbreak.
“The Scout.”
1.) Muse A is from a well secured township and is sent to scout as to why its sister location has gone radio silent. They run into Muse B on the way. Do they work together and travel to the sister location or is Muse B the reason the sister location is down?
1.2) If Muse B is the cause of the fall of the sister location, why? What were the reasons? What happened behind closed doors of that township?
“Supplies.”
2.) Muse A is on a supply run and runs into Muse B. Do they decide to band together for survival or do they fight for the supplies Muse A has found?
2.1.) Muse A is on a supply run and runs into Muse B. Muse B is wounded and Muse A manages to rescue and heal Muse B. Do they stick together afterwards or does Muse B skip town?
2.2) Muse B tells Muse A of their plans to go to a place that is claimed to be some sort of sanctuary by someone on the radio they’ve found. Muse A decides to accompany Muse B. Is it truly sanctuary or is there something rotten afoot?
“Provisions.”
3.) Muse B is caught by Muse A for hoarding rations and keeping more than their fair share. In a desperate attempt to keep Muse A from outing them and potentially being ejected from the group, Muse B confides in them that they’re pregnant and unsure of how they’re going to be able to survive with a child and so have kept extras for future use.
3.1) Muse A decides to kick it up a notch and has quickly placed themselves at Muse A’s side and vows to fulfill whatever roles Muse B needs, spouse, parent, provider, etc.
“Just a peek.”
Life Could Be A Dream // The Crew-Cuts
1.) Muse B gets a furtive glance of the future. They see a fulfilling, wonderful life with Muse A -- kids, house, stability, true love, real happiness. Do they want it? Is this something they’ve dreamt of? Is it something they want with Muse A? Or is it something they never considered before? Something they never wanted at all? Do they pursue it or do they fight it?
1.2) Muse B and Muse A do not get along or are enemies. What changes in Muse B’s behaviour after seeing the vision or do they maintain their stance?
1.3) Muse B got the vision wrong -- and it is not their future with Muse A but instead Muse C’s. Do they attempt to take it for themselves or let it go?
“Pack it up.”
Send Me On My Way // Rusted Root
1.) The muses have to live with each other for some reason or another despite not liking each other. They’ve got to make it work. The apartment is cramped with only one bathroom. It’s up to them to make it into a cozy home. The muses must decorate and furnish their new apartment. To the shopping centers they go!
1.2) Muse A has been standoffish, cold towards Muse B for whatever reasons until they see Muse B do mundane, domestic, pedestrian things and finds themselves quickly falling for them.
1.3) Muse B has been nursing a crush on Muse A but due to Muse A’s standoffish nature towards them, they never let their feelings be known.
“If you go, I’ll stay. If you come back, I’ll be right here.”
Where’s My Love // SYML
Reincarnation!AU
1.) The muses have spent every lifetime together, whether they know it or not. From their first incarnation, throughout every era, they have found each other, fought for each other, and loved each other. They’ve belonged together in any form. This time, it’s different… Muse A remembers all their past lives with Muse B. They know that they’re missing Muse B in this lifetime -- where are they?
1.2) Muse B is with someone else and it’s up to Muse A to win them back. Do they tell them of their past lives? How are they going to get the love of their lives back to where they belong: with them?
“Funnel cake madness.”
Younger // Tony Anderson
1.) The muses go to the carnival! Rides, food, fireworks, and showing off at the games to win each other stuffed animals.
“Someone to stay.”
Amnesia!AU
Crimson and Clover // Tommy James and the Shondells
1.) Muse A suffers from amnesia and must rely on Muse B for just about everything.
1.2) Dark! Muse A actually doesn’t know Muse B and Muse B chooses to falsify memories and a whole life together with Muse A.
“absentia”
The Night We Met // Lord Huron
1.) Muse A suddenly vanishes but no one is talking about it. Muse B is absolutely panicked over this as Muse A is special to them. But no one even recalls Muse A and think Muse B is losing it. Was Muse A even real or were they someone Muse B created to deal with trauma? Looking through photos and videos, there is no Muse A. When Muse B is about to accept that Muse A was never real… they find an old wallet photo of Muse A and Muse B together.
1.2) Muse B has a choice. Show others of this proof of Muse A or keep it hidden. Who is in on Muse A’s vanishing and erasure of their life? How will Muse B get them back? How far will they go to reclaim what’s theirs?
“Operation: Romance their pants off.”
Fake Date!AU
Tonight You Belong To Me // Patience and Prudence
1.) Muse A goes to Muse B to help them woo Muse C. Muse B is secretly in love with Muse A but they just want them to be happy, so they suck it up, and help Muse A.
1.2) Muse A decides the best way to get Muse C’s attention is through jealousy and convinces Muse B to fake date them.
1.3) Eventually it comes to light as to what Muse A is up to. Muse A made a move on Muse C and Muse C wants to know why Muse A is trying to cheat on Muse B. Muse A fesses up to what’s been happening and Muse C laughs it off and accidentally outs Muse B’s romantic feelings towards Muse A.
1.4) OR -- Muse A begins developing feelings for Muse B as they fake date and they have to figure out a way to stop fake-dating and start real-dating.
“Oh, god. It’s you.”
Mr. Sandman // SYML
1.) Muse B does a summoning spell to locate their one true love. Muse A appears. These two do not get along. Confusion is had.
1.2) Muse A wants to know what the spell was. Muse B refuses to say.
1.3) Bonus. Muse B has done the spell wrong and now Muse A cannot go too far from them, forcing them to live together, work together, etc. Muse B starts to see why they’re their true love in the pedestrian, domestic, everyday things they witness Muse A doing.
“Second chances.”
Mona
1.) After a one night stand, Mona doesn’t think she’s going to see Muse B ever again -- until she finds out she’s pregnant. Having fertility issues, she sees this as a second chance and seeks out Muse B to tell them she is keeping the offspring whether they want to be a part of it or not.
1.2) Muse B wants to be a part of the pregnancy and the child’s life, and so Mona moves in with them to give the relationship a shot, platonic or otherwise.
“The Guy in the American Flag Onesie.”
Josette
1.) Freshly new to this dimension, Jo attempts to settle into a typical terran life. But she’s no idea who all these heroes are. Watching the news at a diner, she cracks a joke about not knowing who Captain America is.
1.2) Overhearing this, someone sits down across from her, and tells her just who Captain America is -- from Steve Rogers himself.
