#Klaine poem

[klainerswiftie22oncer]

The crowd was cold and silent

But the noise burned louder in my head

As my heart rushed out of my chest

Wishing I could fade away...

And suddenly he appeared...

He reached out his hand to me...

And with his smile he lighted up the night and warmed my heart...

His honey eyes melted in mine as we swayed around, and it was like no one else mattered anymore...

Just him and I, spinning and humming along to our song.

A poem for Klaine inspired by this particular moment in Prom Queen...

Well I am joining the bandwagon too. Let me let out my love for klaine boys with a little sonnet! Transitioning 6 x07 anniversary poem

Little Red Lies(Blaines sonnet to Kurt)

I know you are lying

I can see it in your eyes,

In your parted cherry lips,

In every single word of yours.

Just like the day I met you,

Alive as my wildest dreams,

You stand there, my dream yet lying to your mind.

I'll play your little game as long as you play in your mind

Waiting for my turn to roll the dice, with a chance of one in ten

Cause I know you're only lying to yourself

Your heart is with me.

So play all the games you want , my love

With your little wheel of fortunes with 1000s of names

Till your little red lies burst turn into my forever.

Wow....took me 5 minutes to write. How is this , @fallevs? I know I'm not as good as you but that's what I got.

Happy break of lie anniversary aka transitioning anniversary 6 x7!!! I hope Klaine will keep laughing at the absurdity of denying their love.

@fallevs replied to your post “Happy Sunday. It's cold again. Thank you...”:

I'm really so glad you liked it! It was my first time trying my hand at writing a poem, even though it is a style I love. The mean part inside me kept telling me you would hate it, but thankfully it was wrong. If a veteran of fandom says that, I have to believe it and keep writing! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the nice review! 🥰

​It is really wack to see myself described as a "veteran of fandom" so I straight up thought you meant @quizasvivamos with that. But then I remembered Beth and I did discuss the fact that Tumblr reminded us that we've been following each other for 7 or 8 years or so. And then I amso remembered I have been on this site since 2011.

Wack.

You gotta keep writing! I am always so happy that there are still Klainer (12s) out here making Klaine fanwork and I am also very excited that new people keep joining, even though this show has been gone for 8 (!!!) years.

30, 39, and 43 !!!! for the game bestie :)

hi bestie thanks !!!

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

depends on the fic, some fics require more editing than others. i very much edit as i write and then i usually do a final read or two once i have a chapter or a fic completed. so i'm not sure how much editing total happens sometimes, but there is editing (it's just usually happening as i go)

39. What’s your most self-indulgent wip?

oh everything in my wip folder rn feels self-indulgent lol. right now it's probably the nowhere near complete "sick fic mainly for me" or one that will end up being very long and is partially inspired by one of my favorite spoken word poems, When Love Arrives by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye

also the 90 day glee-ance chaos doc that's not technically a wip yet lol

43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

i have had something called "Mean Girls but make it gayer and Glee-er" (ft. Dalton!Klaine) on my ideas list for MONTHS and i've yet to get around to it

Inspiration for Lavender - Klaine Fan Fic

Below the picture, you'll find the inspiration/notes for some of my story, Lavender.

It's the third installment in a series I've called: An Herbalist's Handbook.

SPOILERS AHEAD, so you may want to read the series here.

Written for the #31horrificdays October Writing Challenge / Klainetober 2022. Prompts provided by the @klainetober blog.

Prompt - Day 9 - Eyes

Story Title

With the prompt being "Eyes", and the other stories in the series being named after other plants/herbs, I decided to use lavender.

" Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Lavender is often used as a meditation aid as it quiets the chatter of the mind and, therefore, the ego.  It is said that Lavender resonates with the sixth chakra, Ajna, located in the "third eye" area of the forehead, between the eyebrows.  The Ajna chakra is considered the center of foresight, intuition, contemplation, and enlightenment, and is associated with the eyes, brain, pineal gland, and nervous system.

Ancient knowledge considers Lavender to promote deeper spiritual understanding, psychic insight, and intuitive visions.  In addition, Lavender will help to cast away any doubts about embracing our spiritual power."

Kurt's Song

The first song Kurt sings in this story is part of an Irish ballad called Carrikfergus.

I would swim over the deepest ocean

The deepest ocean for my love to find

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over

Neither have I wings to fly

If I could find me a handsome boatsman

To ferry me over to my love and die

*****

Blaine's Song

When Blaine sings to Kurt to reassure him, the lyrics are part of an old Cornish song called : The Sweet Nightingale; or, Down in Those Valleys Below

Hear the fond tale

Of the sweet nightingale,

As she sings in those valleys below

So be not afraid

To walk in the shade,

Nor yet in those valleys below,

Nor yet in those valleys below.

Full lyrics can be found here: https://www.theotherpages.org/poems/ballad10.html

You can hear a lovely version of it here:

*****

Kurt's Ritual Chant

The final chant Kurt utters at the end of the story is part of a poem called Immortality by Clare Harner.

The full poem is below:

Immortality by Clare Harner

Do not stand

By my grave, and weep.

I am not there,

I do not sleep—

I am the thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glints in snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle, autumn rain.

As you awake with morning's hush,

I am the swift, up-flinging rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight,

I am the day transcending night.

Do not stand

By my grave, and cry—

I am not there,

I did not die.

More about the poem can be found in the link below.

*****

Blaine's "Eye-opening"

"The ethereal maiden leaned forward and placed a ghostly finger upon the center of Blaine's forehead.  As it slowly grazed his skin, Blaine groaned.  His head felt like it was about to burst – a kaleidoscope of colors exploded before his eyes, overtaking his vision for a moment. – blindingly beautiful colors, bright and piercing.  Blaine dropped the brindle cat from his arms, and he fell to his knees, clutching his head in his hands."

Inspired by:

The chakras are believed to be wheel-like energy centers distributed throughout your body that affect well-being and perception. The third eye chakra, also known as Ajna, is considered to be the sixth chakra in the body.

This chakra is said to be located in the center of your head, parallel to the middle of your eyebrows. It’s believed to be linked to perception, awareness, and spiritual communication.

And of course this quote:

He pulled back, and hazel eyes gazed into blue-green ones.

“I love you,” Blaine said silently.

“I love you, too.” Kurt returned with a sweet, sad smile.

In Orbit (21/?)

Pairing: Klaine

Rating: T

Fic Summary: Blaine starts attending NYU, and he and Kurt weave in and out of each other’s lives - as friends, exes, friends with benefits, and harder-to-define labels - while they navigate college, relationships, and adulthood in New York.

Notes: I don't title my chapters but if I did, this one would be called "Blaine Alone."

Read on AO3 | All chapters

March 2015

It was an overcast day, but even in the gray, washed-out light of a cloudy sky, Paris was a beautiful city.

Blaine had woken up earlier than his traveling companions, which didn’t surprise him - he was generally an early-riser, and he’d stayed mostly sober last night while his friends got drunk on pricey aperitifs, and then cheap wine.

He’d texted his still-sleeping companions in their WhatsApp group chat to say he was going out, and then headed out from the hostel. They were staying north of the city center, and he could have taken the metro to his destination, but he decided to walk. He’d seen the insides of trains plenty of times, after all, and he only had a couple days to see Paris.

It was spring break, so Blaine had joined four of his classmates from NYU Florence to take a Eurail trip for the week. They’d spent two nights in Geneva, then moved on to Paris. After this, they’d go to Barcelona before returning to Italy.

The trip had been fun so far - Blaine enjoyed seeing new places, hearing new languages spoken around him, being mildly baffled by his surroundings and then slowly growing used to them, even over the course of just a few days. He was very inclined to go to museums, see the art and architecture of each city, and visit cultural sights. He could tell his classmates were less enthusiastic about this - while they happily checked off the big must-sees in each city, it seemed more perfunctory for them. When they’d visited the Louvre the previous day, Blaine had gone off on his own, so he could dawdle as much as he wanted, taking his time to admire different paintings and statues and rooms. His friends had ended up texting him that they were ready to go, and he’d insisted they leave without him so he could spend another hour or two. He knew he couldn’t see everything the massive museum had to offer, but he couldn’t bear to leave so quickly - who knew when he’d get another chance to be in Paris? He’d ended up meeting back up with them at a cafe a couple hours later.

Now, Blaine reached his goal for the morning: Shakespeare and Company, an independent English-language bookstore just across the river from Notre Dame. As soon as Blaine had mentioned to Effie that he’d be in Paris over spring break, she’d told him about this bookstore. It had apparently been a literary hub for the city for the past half-century, and Effie had gushed about all the famous authors who’d visited there. Blaine didn’t know all that much about literature, but looking back he was amused by how long it had taken him to figure out Effie was studying English, considering how much she geeked out about this kind of thing.

Blaine entered the bookshop, and was immediately charmed by the crowded shelves and haphazard aisles, the painted walls and stairs. It was oddly surprising to be entirely surrounded by English writing - for several months now, he’d had to actively think in order to read the words on signs or texts around him, but now the title of each book and label of each section of the store was understood immediately, automatically.

He ended up buying a tote bag and a collection of Adrienne Rich poems for Effie - he remembered her talking about Rich in the past, so it seemed like a good choice.

He hadn’t eaten breakfast, so Blaine wandered around the Latin Quarter until he found a creperie. Sitting at a wicker table outside a restaurant in Paris gave him the surreal feeling that this couldn’t truly be his life, that he must be in a dream or a movie or something. He’d had this feeling before - being on stage at Nationals, moving to New York, interning at the Mercury Lounge - but especially since coming to Europe, he’d been hit with it a lot more often.

Even though Blaine understood all the steps he’d taken to arrive at this moment in his life, it still didn’t quite feel right that he could actually be experiencing it.

He’d been enjoying his time in Florence, and moments like this made studying abroad unquestionably worth it, but he also couldn’t deny the hollow pit of...something that had taken up residence in his stomach ever since he’d crossed the Atlantic. Homesickness, maybe. The feeling of being truly and entirely out of his element. Florence was an incredibly gorgeous city, and Blaine loved feeling like he was surrounded by history and art at every turn. Florence was truly ancient in a way that no place in America had ever felt to him. There were memories and impressions of the past baked into the cobblestones, permeating the air. Then there was the food - the pasta, the wine, the espresso, tastes that were rich and deep and decadent. Over time, he became more familiar with the city, and he grew calmer each time he recognized a street or returned to a bar he’d been to before.

He was enjoying his classes for the most part, but his intensive Italian course was starting to take a toll on him. Blaine was used to excelling in academics - he put in the work, he studied meticulously, and he reached understanding. No subject had ever eluded him once he put his mind to it. But lately he’d been hitting a wall with Italian. He could study vocabulary and do the assignments and take thorough notes in class each day, but he still struggled. He wanted simply to understand, for the language to become natural and fluid, an extension of his own thoughts. Instead, each conversation with a native speaker was a battle, an internal labor to pull together the right words in the right order, to conjugate verbs into tenses that had meanings and moods with no direct correlation to English. He felt like he’d learned just enough to understand how very much he didn’t know, how vast and untamable a language really was, how impossible it was for him to ever genuinely understand it.

While his frustration with Italian gnawed at him, he knew the more prevalent cause of the pit in his stomach was loneliness. Blaine was friendly and personable - when he’d transferred to Dalton and had the chance at a fresh start, he’d learned to put himself out there, to be charming and confident, to introduce himself and quickly make connections with the people around him. And he’d succeeded at doing that in Italy - the NYU Florence program was pretty small, and he could recognize nearly every student, knew the names of each of his classmates, and could easily make small talk with a large percentage of them. He’d found a few people that he hung out with on a regular basis - going out for dinner or watching soccer games at bars. But even among them, he didn’t feel that he could truly be himself. They were nice enough people, but he didn’t fully click with them, like he did with Effie or Sho, with Sam or Tina. They didn’t have quite enough interests or passions or personality traits in common. He always felt like he was sort of on the outskirts of their interactions, always putting on a smile but never feeling that he would really be missed if he wasn’t around.

And then, of course, there was Ethan. Or, the lack of Ethan, the aftermath of Ethan. Blaine hadn’t intentionally planned to run away to Europe after breaking up with his boyfriend, but it did provide a nice bit of space. If he’d still been in New York, he likely would have had a music class or two with Ethan. In Italy, at least, he had absolutely no chance of bumping into his ex-boyfriend in an academic building or dining hall. He still hurt, though. Even though he’d been the one to end things, and he’d known it was unquestionably the right thing to do, he missed Ethan. Or at least, he missed what they’d had, when things were good between them. He missed the good morning texts and talking about their days over dinner; watching movies cuddled up on one of their beds, walking to the East Village to get bagels on Saturday mornings. He missed Ethan’s calming presence and the solid, comforting feeling of his arms holding Blaine tight. He missed the way he was always adjusting his beanie and the sharp-edged doodles in the margins of all of his class notes. He missed having a boyfriend. He missed being loved, in that particular way.

Blaine’s phone buzzed, and he took a deep breath of Parisian air, trying to ground himself. He was a young college student traipsing around Europe - he should be happy, excited. He pulled out his phone and saw that there was a new WhatsApp message from one of the friends he was traveling with.

We just got up, it read. Gonna grab breakfast and then head to catacombs, meet you there? Probably like 40 mins

Blaine swallowed the last bite of his crepe and then typed out a reply. Sounds good, see you there!

AO3 Tag Meme

@klaineharmony tagged me like last week and I’m just now getting to this, oops. >.<

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

273, although I have collection of <1000 word stories that I originally posted individually on here and FFn, so technically I’ve written closer to 300 fics, probably?

2. What is your total AO3 word count?

497,239. Not half bad for a one-shotter!

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

5, if we count my Newsies/Supergirl crossover for both fandoms. The others are Glee, Riverdale, and Call the Midwife. (God, that’s eclectic to list.)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

They’re all Klaine fics, to the surprise of absolutely no one:

1. But Now I See, my blind!Kurt/sighted!Blaine fic. (Tbh, I don’t love that I took this prompt and made the big moment in this one curing Kurt’s blindness, but I wasn’t aware of how ableist that trope is when I wrote it. I’m not going to delete it because that feels like sweeping it under the rug, but please know that I know better now.)

2. Unforgettable, a Cheerio!Kurt/nerd!Blaine AU based off this prompt: “You probably don’t remember but you saved me from some bullies once in middle school and god damn it every year you just get hotter"

3. Finally Found the Boy, a florist!Kurt/barista!Blaine AU in which I utilized every trope known to man: “#okay but combine all four: person a works at a coffeeshop #person b works at a flowershop #they start fake dating to cover for person a who's lied to their parents about meeting their soulmate #but then they do whatever thing reveals soulmates while fake dating and start REAL DATING #THE END”

4. Covert Cupid, aka your classic nerd!Kurt/jock!Blaine gift-giving AU. (You know, like Secret Santa, but for Valentine’s Day.)

5. Make A Move, a Cheerio!Blaine based off this anonymous prompt: “a klaine alternate meeting fic where one of them is working at a kissing booth and the other one keeps coming back with money and asking for kisses “for charity” and they basically end up making out in front of everybody bc the kisses are so great okay love u bye” (Yes, I DID use a One Direction lyric for the title; no, I am NOT sorry.)

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Every time! At the very least, I drop a “thank you” and a heart, because I’m just that grateful that anyone has enjoyed my fic enough TO leave a comment. If there’s a more specific comment, I try to address it, too.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Uh, probably none of them? Happily ever after or BUST, pals.

...

Okay, I literally looked through all of my fics and this drabble is the only thing that even REMOTELY ends angstily. Plenty of my work has some kind of drama in the middle, but I firmly don’t believe in tragic endings. 

7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

I’ve only done one proper crossover (e.g., featuring characters from both universes), but I’ve done plenty of AUs based on other pieces of IP! My one true crossover is Just Be Real (Is All I’m Askin’), which mixes Newsies and Supergirl with a dash of past lives/reincarnation. Listen, when you put Jeremy Jordan in two things I love, I’m gonna find a way to combine those things, friends.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I once got called out for using the term “maiden name” in a fic, but I’ve never truly been flamed or anything. Hope that stays true!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not often, and not outside of the Klaine fandom, at least as of right now. In those fics, I leaned a little more M than E in my ratings, and there were some D/s leanings, but that’s really based on how I saw that pairing. If I ever do smut for another fandom, I may totally mix up my kinks depending on how I see the couple/throuple/etc!

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I think I had some stories posted to at least one of those random pirate sites back in the day? But I’ve never been deliberately plagiarized that I know of.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I’ve definitely tried! Truffles and I worked on at least one co-authored fic once, but I don’t remember if we ever posted it.

12. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I’m only supposed to have one???

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Like many Millennials, I’m sure, it was Harry Potter. If you go digging in MuggleNet FanFiction, you should be able to find my terrible acrostic poems from when I was 14.

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Oof, again with the favorites? I have a couple that I’m more proud of than others.

Of my Call the Midwife fics, I love What’s in a Name? the most, simply because I included so many characters and feel like I managed to capture all their unique voices/personalities. And I created a moment I want to see on the show!

For Newsies, my 9k beast We Just Might Win proved to me that I can write more than 2,000 words without having to base the story on another piece of IP, and I’ll always love it for that. (And for Jack, Davey, and Kath, of course!)

I’m proud of all my Klaine fics on some level, because they unlocked a creative output level in me that I genuinely will not ever be able to match again. I think a crowd favorite of mine was my Sound of Music AU, My Heart Will Be Blessed, but if I had to pick a personal fave? I’d have to go with Destiny. Caroline @thehouseofthebrave gave me this incredible prompt for it, and I just love how I filled it.

I think a lot of people have been tagged already, so anyone who wants to do this should tag me as their tagger, but I also want to see @knightsofthegaytable‘s answers!

#also if you have a favorite of mine i want to know what it is!!

Author Spotlight: Gleefuldarrencrissfan Day 1

Author: @gleefuldarrencrissfan

How did you get into Glee and Glee fandom?

I'm a huge music fan, and I started watching the show after it ended because I loved the music that I heard in the pilot.  I wasn't really paying attention to the plotlines, and honestly, I didn't really like many of the characters and storylines in season 1.  However, I made it to season 2 and fell in love with Blaine, Sam, and a much less manipulative Kurt.  After that, I was hooked.

In general, what drew you into writing (and/or creating)?

I've always loved writing, but I mostly wrote poetry and even lyrics and Dr. Seuss like rhymes.  I started writing when I was a teen, and honestly, I've never stopped.  You'll find poems, lyrics, and children's verse interspersed throughout my stories because I still love writing various forms of writing.  I'm actually writing several children's stories right now as well. 

What was it about Glee that made you decide to write fanfic for it?

Honestly, my frustration with the lack of Klaine and Blaine storylines drove me to write my first story, Courage, which was Blaine's season 1 story. I also wanted desperately to get feedback on writing.  So I started writing Courage and posted.  After that, I loved writing and interacting with other fans so much that I just kept going. 

Have you been a part of other fandoms before? Have you written fanfiction pre-glee?

Not really.  I had other shows that I loved but I wasn't really a hardcore fan of other shows except Cold Case, where I would analyze and discuss particular episodes on message boards.  I never wrote fanfiction until I started writing for glee. 

Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

Fake dating sounds fun, as does enemies to lovers.  I have ideas for both.  I also love best friends to lovers. 

Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

Quite a few.  I would not write BDSM, MPreg, dark fic, intense gore, and any troupe where the characters are extremely ooc (like prostitute or porn star Blaine or Kurt).  I like keeping my versions of Blaine and Kurt fairly close to their real characters, and I just don't feel like their characters would be into any of this.  Not to mention, I'm kind of a PG13 type of girl who doesn't really like watching or reading things that are dark or explicit, so writing it would be extremely ooc for me. 

How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Oh man.  I have so many.  The main one that I keep coming back to is called Hummel's Haven of Hope, which will be an AU where Burt establishes a home for gay youth after Kurt attempts suicide (as explored in episode 2009 when he picks up a pamphlet about ending it all.) Kurt recovers and meets a young man after he was bashed and disowned.  That young man just happens to be Blaine Anderson.  The story will tell of their recoveries, their growth, and their inevitable love story.  I don't know when I'll start this.  I have so many irons in the fire.

Check out Gleefuldarrencrissfan’s Fics

Rim Job -  Kurt tells Blaine he wants to give him a rim job. A rim job doesn't exactly mean what Kurt thought it did.

Zoom Mates -  Kurt Hummel is a once-respected illustrator that's being punished for one misfortunate mistake by being assigned to novice writers that either lack motivation or inspiration until his boss introduces him to a talented up and coming author and former teacher, Blaine Anderson. The catch. It's March 2020, and they are quarantined and they have to conduct their meetings over Zoom.

Love, Blaine -  Blaine Anderson is a typical teenager. Except he’s not because he’s hiding a huge secret. He’s gay. But after reading a confession on the informal Dalton blog, he discovers that he’s not the only closeted boy at Dalton. After a moment of courage, he emails him and ultimately starts up a friendship that will change life as he knows it. Loosely based on Love, Simon.

I’m gonna turn this around on you.

Could I please have a couple of cute Jarley or Klaine headcanons because my period has ruined my day!!

Of course Jas! I’ll give you a little bit of both. I’m sorry to hear your days been shit, I hope you feel better soon 💗💗💗

Jarley

• This is based off of how Marley said that Jake and her went on a few dates before the Sadie Hawkins dance. One of these early dates was a stargazing. Jake googled constellations earlier in the week so he could do that cute thing where he grabs Marley’s hand and helps point her finger towards constellations. He was actually naming the wrong constellations the whole time, Marley noticed but she was touched by the thought he put into it and didn’t want to make him feel bad by correcting him.

• After the Wemma wedding, Jake decides to show Marley the poem that he wrote for her. She thinks it’s adorable how he was only able to rhyme her name with barley and teases him a bunch for it. His new nickname for her slowly becomes Barley.

• Jake teaches Marley how to do tricks on his razor scooter. She falls on her butt more times than she can count, but Jake insists that she’s doing great and is a fast learner. Jake ends up buying Marley her own razor scooter and they scoot (is that the word?) around the local park after school.

• Jake calls Marley when he’s having trouble going to bed. She would tell him about her day and gush or rant about whatever book she was reading at the moment. She always sings for him through the phone, Jake falls asleep to the sound of her voice.

Klaine

• Blaine surprised Kurt with tickets to a Madonna concert for his birthday. Kurt spent the months leading up to the concert planning both his and Blaines outfits. It didn’t hit Kurt that he was seeing his idol in person until she walked out on stage, causing him to cry happy tears.

• Kurt’s super into true crime and supernatural. During one of Blaines visits to New York, they take a tour of haunted locations throughout the city. Blaine tells Kurt that he’s okay with it but he’s actually scared as shit. The whole tour Blaine holds onto Kurts hand for dear life. Kurt messes around with him by saying that he sees shadows and is hearing whispers. This obviously freaks out Blaine even more and Kurt feels extremely bad. He apologizes to Blaine right away and promises him that they’ll stop for cronuts on the way back to the loft.

• Burt invited Blaine to all of their Friday night dinners after he finds out how much he helped Kurt out at McKinley. Blaine attends the dinner the Friday after him and Kurt become official, except Burt doesn’t know. They play footsie and Blaine accidentally kicks Finns leg. Finn’s like “Dude, what the hell was that for.” Blaine tries to play it off by saying “What was what for?” Finn replies saying “You just hit me with your foot.” Burt had suspicions, but this proved it. After dinner, Burt pulls Blaine aside and says something like “So you tell me to give my kid the talk and the next week you start playing footsie with him at my dinner table?” Blaines all flustered and tells him that it’s not what it looks like. Burt pats him on the back and tells him that he’s a good kid and would be happy for them if he was dating Kurt.

I've decided to do that fic ask thing that's been floating around even though I haven't been tagged <3

how many works do you have on AO3?

22... apparently? three of those are fic book covers though.

what’s your total AO3 word count?

139,883 words

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

On AO3? 3. In general? 4 or 5 i think? I currently write for Glee and Marvel on my AO3 (there's also one Yuri On Ice fic) and I've previously written (and published) for Harry Potter on FF.Net. I do also have a few outlines/ideas for Merlin fics floating around my google docs but I've never posted any, and I used to write Twilight fics back in the day.

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ain't No Grave (Can Keep My Body Down) Book Cover with 222 kudos (Marvel published 2016) --A book cover for a popular Stucky fic

A Punch In The Face with 101 kudos (Marvel published 2014) --A Young Avengers drabble of sorts, Teddy/Billy meet cute

Express Your Love with 81 kudos (Marvel published 2014) --I cannot remember what this is, I think it's Stony? Something about Tony never saying 'I Love You' to steve but instead showing his love through actions?

In A Previous Life with 77 kudos (Marvel published 2014) --A drabble of sorts. Billy and Tommy talk to Wanda about their life with her before they were reincarnated.

Putting a Punching Bag in the Workshop was Tony's Best Idea Ever with 64 kudos (Marvel published 2014) --Basically what it says on the tin. Stony. Tony is distracted by Steve's arse as he boxes.

Annoyingly these are all fics I'm not that proud of, but they're older so the kudos amounts make sense i guess 🙄 the next most Kudos'd is one I am proud of though - “You took EVERYTHING from me.” with 58 Kudos (2019) - Basically a little oneshot of what I thought could have happened in the 5 years everyone was dusted and how I thought they might have introduced Billy and Tommy into the MCU, it was going to create a whole 'verse but then we got confirmation on things like Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang and Spiderman Far From Home came out and I dropped the ideas. But I still like this fic.

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

most of the time, yes, though sometimes I leave them sitting for too long and then feel awkward about replying to them and i don't (*cough* most of my comments on WTNY(ibwfy) *cough*)

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

probably In Paris With You which I'd forgotten about until scrolling through my fics! I wrote this, orginally, way back in like... 2011 based on a poem of the same name that got stuck in my head as i studied it for my English GCSE. but it's been updated and changed like 3 times since then.

Also my fic As long as I'm here as I am, so are you is rather angsty. Basically Kurt is listening to Ben Platt's album Sing to Me Instead and one song reminds him of Finn. (because it reminded me of them)

do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I've never written a crossover, though I think I once toyed around with some sort of Harry Potter crossover that never made the light of day, I can't remember what it was with though... maybe Merlin?

have you ever received hate on a fic?

not on AO3! But I did have someone call my OC in One More New Direction a Mary Sue on FF.net which wasn't nice, and someone else said they hated my characterisation of Mercedes in a chapter which was weird because Mercedes wasn't even in the chapter it was just my OC talking about her and her impression of her.

do you write smut? if so what kind?

I've tried, multiple times, in my 10+ years of fic writing, but i just can't do it. Maybe it's because I'm Asexual? it just always feels weird even after I've read smut as, like, revision. I feel like a lot of the characters are, like, ace by proxy because i don't know how to write characters being motivated by sex.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope! Not that I know of anyway

have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

have you ever co-written a fic before?

not that I remember? I vaguely remember being a Beta for someone like 10 years ago though.

what’s your all time favourite ship?

I honestly don't know! I've definately written mostly Klaine, but I'm such a multishipper that I have no clue. I'm really loving writing Hevans rn mostly because we are lacking Hevans content which is criminal. actually, fun fact, my fic Welcome To New York (it's been waiting for you) was originally going to be Klaine, but as i was writing the outline I fell back into the Hevans hole and decided to switch it up. I'm glad i did because it would have gotten nowhere as a Klaine fic!

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

If i don't think I'll finish something I don't post it. I have a graveyard of fics half drafted.

what are your writing strengths?

I honestly don't know. I like writing dialogue and I know I'm good at portraying something with a small amount of words but you'll have to ask my readers 😊 (in fact, if you've read my stuff please let me know what you think my strengths are! I'm honestly curious!)

what are your writing weaknesses?

I'm terrible at stretching a scene into something bigger if it warrents it. Like i said I'm good at portraying something with few words but sometimes I feel like that throws the pacing off. I use a lot of paragraphs because of that, to make the reader pause and reflect until the next line or to show that the character is pausing and reflecting. idk man. I also hate writing dates, which is annoying because WYNY(ibwfy) is mostly dates. I've been on one in my life and it was shit so i have no idea how to write one lol.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think that, unless you don't want the reader to know what is being said or the words used are obvious in context, that you should write it in english EG: --"Merci!" Kurt said.-- is fine but if you want to write something longer I would do something like --"hello my name is Kurt Hummel and I love scarfs" Kurt said in french-- or something, it depends on the context.

Actually, going back to In Paris With You. Kurt is french in that, and it's from Blaine's POV so when Kurt speaks french it's in french with Blaine translating what he can in the narration. He's not meant to be able to understand Kurt perfectly, so the audience doesn't either. But if I was writing, say, Kurt and Sebastian talking to each other in French from Kurt's POV I'd write it in english so that audience can also understand that Kurt understands.

(does that make sense?)

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. definately Harry Potter! It was how i got into fanfiction, and how i got into glee <3 JKR is a horrible person, but her books - and especially the fandom surrounding them - mean a lot to me.

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I have no idea. I'm really liking my Love and Friendship series right now, and I love One More New Direction because it got me through - is getting me through - this crazy couple of years. so probably them? I also really love (that makes you) The Scarlet Witch which is kind of like a character analysis of Wanda that I wrote after watching WandaVision.
