20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks for the tags @fieldsofview & @seek--rest 🦦
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
35
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
582,965
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently Spider-Man and The Bear.
4. Top five fics by kudos:
across the hall
spotlights and moonlight
106 miles
reset
maroon
5. Do you respond to comments?
Every single one! Might take me a while to get round to it, but I’ll always try my best to give a thoughtful response.
6. What is the fic your wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hard to say, I’m not good at drawing a line between ‘angsty’, ‘hopeful’, ‘happy’ etc endings. Everything is a little bit of all. But perhaps timeless.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Again, difficult. But maybe The Balcony.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
on my way you will always be famous! The only fic I’ve had active hate on. I’ve received no less than eight anon messages telling me how much they hated it since the day I posted it back in December—the most recent one being sent just last week! Or how much it ‘didn’t work’ for them for a number of reasons that just go to show me that they didn’t actually dedicate the time to properly read the fic. I’d like to think that they’re all from the same miserable person, but alas, I know that they aren’t. It’s still one of my favourite things I’ve ever written though, y’all can’t make me hate it! ✌🏾
9. Do you write smut?
I do!
10. Craziest crossover:
I haven’t done one yet but I’d like to! I had ideas for one swimming around a few months back, but haven’t made any real headway on it. Never say never though!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not yet!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Currently writing my first collab—spotlights and moonlight with @seek--rest—and I’m loving it! Definitely want to do more collabs in the future.
14. All time favorite ship?
PeterMJ
15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
If it’s still up, I have plans to finish it!
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I’m good at making characters feel like real people, and I think I’m descriptive of details in a way that matters—in a way that makes the world of the story more vibrant and lived in.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I have absolutely no control over my wordcounts!!!!!!! 😡
18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
Why not!
19. First fandom you wrote in?
Marvel.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
on my way, or anything from my cycles series.

Part 1: Samar
Series Masterlist
CW: Brief mention of the reader having a mother. Minor Aram x Samar (my fave paring). Implied sex with Reddington. not beta read (as usual).
AN: see the end of the fic for the full flower meanings! This is part 1 of a 5 + 1 series, but could also be a Valentine's Day stand-alone!
Part 1. Samar
You didn’t know how to define your relationship with Reddington. He was still officially one of the FBIs most wanted, and you were an agent. Officially dating sounded too old school and formal, but friends with benefits sounded too casual and young.
However you define it, you knew that if it came to light, your career would go up in smoke along with your reputation. Which is why you stressed to Reddington that no one could find out. That lasted about 10 minutes before an unfortunate encounter with Dembe. He was the only exception because Reddington swore that Dembe kept worse secrets.
When asked if you could stay late on Valentine's Day you couldn't think of a good excuse to say no. It also got you out of any plans that may arise.
Still trying to be in the holiday spirit you brought in a large box of chocolates for the team, complete with a bow, not surprised to see a few boxes already on Aram’s desk. Samar probably got Aram his own box, but there were still a few from team members for team members.
What was surprising was Reddington, always the gentleman, with bouquets of flowers in stunning reds, whites, purples, and yellows in his arms by the desk.
You were the last to arrive, dumping your box on Aram’s desk. The others were in casual conversation comparing plans for the day while Reddington shuffled the flowers.
“Apologies, Donald, I didn’t think you were the flower type.” Red didn’t look too apologetic, while Donald looked relieved that he was not on the receiving end of the flowers.
“Agent Mojtabai, for friendship” Red handed him the yellow bouquet, full of coreopsis. You smiled. The relationship between Aram and ‘Mr. Reddington’ as the younger man called Red was adorable.
“Lizzy, classic choice for a classic lady, white roses”. Liz thanked him before taking the flowers. Reddington turned his attention to Samar, holding out the purple flowers.
“Flowers of the gladiators for you, Samar.” Samar smiled, clearly pleased she had the flowers of strength and victory. Unfortunately, that left you, to receive the red bouquet.
“Red gardenias, like your mom used to grow.” He extended the last bouquet to you, which you took it gently, noting the card with writing on it. You thanked him but wondered if he was mistaken. Your mom never grew gardenias, and even if she did you never told Reddington about your childhood.
You pulled out the card tucked into your bouquet and quickly stashed it back in the flowers. In his handwriting, it read There are no flowers which describe what you did two nights ago, thus, gardenia, for secrets. - Red.
You glanced around to see if anyone noticed how quickly you dropped the card. Everyone was already buried in their work, minus Reddington, who looked pleased that you understood the real meaning of the flowers.
---
“Gardenias also represent secrets,” Samar told you as she was getting ready to leave. You knew she was smart but had no idea how she knew that. You glanced at the flowers.
“That's pretty cool. I think my mom grew them because she liked the smell.” You lied, praying that she would drop the topic. Her gaze flicked between you and the flowers a few more times before she shrugged on her coat.
“Happy Valentine's Day,” She said before leaving your shared office.
“Yeah, you too!” you called out from behind her. She totally bought your lie. Right?
------------
Reddington tag list: (Dm to be added or removed), @soraya-daydreams, @horrorqueen22, @wild-rose-35, @anonymoussherlockandmarvelgeek, @zombieskullxz, @rhepworth
Flower meanings:
You -red Gardenia - you're lovely, secret love
Aram - yellow Coreopsis - always cheerful
Samar - purple Gladiolus - Flower of the Gladiators, Integrity, Strength, Victory
Liz - White Roses - Innocence, Heavenly, I’m worthy of you

tagged by @ranilla-bean for the 20 questions meme!
1. how many works do you have on ao3? 35
2. what’s your total ao3 word count? 466,309. Hey, that's not too shabby!
3. what fandoms do you write for? Currently NONE. previously: dragon age, tsubasa chronicle, supernatural, fullmetal alchemist, legend of zelda...
4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Your Princess is in Another Castle ("Dragons kidnap princesses, everyone knows this… except sometimes, they get it wrong. Or do they? A story about mistakes, misunderstandings, and flower crowns. Also Kurogane's non-stop never-ending suck of a life, and the idiot that causes all that chaos to begin with.")
For Better or for Worse ("A 'five things' fic, featuring five different times Hawke proposed to Anders.")
The Centre of All Things ("Hawke gave Anders a ring, after their first night together, and never quite told him what it meant. As Kirkwall begins to crumble around them, Anders struggles to strike a balance between love and the needs of the mages.")
Adjustment ("A year after the end of Act 2, Anders comes home late, and Hawke missed him.")
Bound ("Anders receives many gifts from Aggressive!Hawke across the years. He's charmed by most of them, surprised by others.")
most of my fics predate ao3 and while i backloaded the TRC ones on, I can't be bothered doing the same for the FMA fic i wrote 20 years ago. and the SPN stuff, uh, well, AO3 kind of did it for me! i woke up one day and an old archive i forgot my fic was on had been ported to the archive, all my spn fics helpfully attached to my account in the process. when i tell you i orphaned them at something like the speed of light -
5. do you respond to comments? Um.... I MEAN to, but.... i'm not great at remembering...? i really cherish every one i receive and i KNOW it's bad of me, i can only offer apologies.
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? i literally just write happy endings i can't answer this
7. what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? how are defining happy??? look mikke takes the piss out of me ALL THE TIME for my definition of fluff, ever since i entered a fluff vs angst competition on the side of team fluff with a story in which one half of the otp was tortured and murdered (he got better)! *i* define a happy ending as one in which, during the course of the story, a character grows and develops. by that metric, an ending where the character loses everything and everyone they love but gains a mindset enabling them to find peace with the loss is a happy ending, TO ME. a sad ending, by contrast, is one in the character does not grow or change, and stays in the same state (or worse!) than they started the story.
so with that in mind, probably through a forest wilderness. people die! anders and hawke are rejected as monstrous by the people they tried to save! but they gained one (1) feral orphan and solved their relationship issues, d'awwww. <3
8. do you get hate on fics? nope
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind? yes, but not in EVERY story. i find smut to require a lot of effort to write! there's complex choreography and emotions to handle... the only thing harder (HEHEHE) is fight scenes for the exact same reason
10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written? i'm not interested in crossovers (blorbos from series a meet blorbos from series b) but i love a good fusion fic, where blorbos from series a have always lived in the world of series b. craziest... probs the trc/wow fusion fic i wrote for an audience of three people? idk i've written a lot! i dreamed of a zukka howl's moving castle fusion a few days ago (probably inspired by chiptrillino's gorgeous illustrations she's been sharing recently) so that was pretty fun, as someone who very, very rarely remembers my dreams.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen? nope!
12. have you ever had a fic translated? yeah, to russian!
13. have you ever co-written a fic before? yeah, @mikkeneko and i wrote a whole SPACE OPERA. well. half of one, i guess (oops).
14. what’s your all-time favourite ship? whatever i'm shipping at the moment
15. what’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? i plead the fifth
16. what are your writing strengths? EMOTIONS. also i think i write humour well?
17. what are your writing weaknesses? starting, continuing and finishing. /sob
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? even if you're fluent in that language, it alienates more people than it impresses, i think. i love using other languages as an easter egg (like rana has a character named with a cantonese pun in the iconoclast) but whole dialogue is like... very hard to pull off, and outright mortifying if you don't actually speak the language and just google translate it.
19. first fandom you wrote for? the legend of zelda! my irl friends and i (aged 13) had a massive shared self-insert 'verse going on. my first steps into fandom PROPER tho was with fullmetal alchemist.
20. favourite fic you’ve written? this is a complex question because how do you define favourite? swift illuminations was probably the most fun to write (anders vs hawke arm wrestling) and i always enjoy getting to write comedy - your princess is in another castle has my favourite lines i've ever written, for example:
"Can I go?" Yuui asked Ashura. Despairing it was, then. At least he wasn't naked. It was a low bar to meet in terms of presentation, but so far two of the six people in this room weren't making it.
these skies are breaking i've always been fond of because it's 35k and i wrote it in two days but the plot is uhhhhhh. missing. ash on the windowsill same sitch, 50k in 36 hours and my first completed multi-chapter fic but i wince at how clumsy it is when i reread it. i'm proud of a lot of my later dragon age fics because they contain better exploration of ideas and characterisation, so... idk. toss up!
but in terms of stuff i'm most satisfied with, probs 'how to love a god' this short character exploration piece i wrote for the anderszine. first time writing second person and because of the zine space limit i had a hard maximum word count too so i agonized over every word choice. i don't really edit my own stuff - i post it pretty much hot off the hoop - but i did actually enjoy doing it that time.
uhhhh so that's me. but i'm tagging.... anyone who wants to do this!

Fic Writer Interview
Saw Topsy did this and it looked like fun so now Imma pester y'all with one.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
35, currently, and only 1 is for a fandom other than The Lego Movie lmao
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
496,195 over the course of 6 years
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1- Reboot
To be honest, I'm kind of baffled by this one. I started it just when covid was really starting to take off, lost where I was going with it before I was even halfway through writing it because I got SO swamped with work that writing was taken off the stove entirely for a while, and a lot of it was honestly just half-assed to get it finished but so many people LOVE it. I don't think I'll ever stop scratching my head about it, but at this point I've just accepted that it's my most popular fic ever.
2- Atonement
Still ongoing and without a clear ending in mind yet. I had 2 ideas I was wanting to play with when I started it- wingfic, and house arrest. I've been having fun with it so far.
3- Prizes, Plunder, and Adventure
This one was actually written based on a friend's doodles & half-finished ideas. I took them & ran with them as far as I could lol. I'm honestly happy that this one's in my top 5.
4- Hot Spring
Another one that I'm kind of baffled by. It's a oneshot that's barely over 400 words. People like their coppernauts fluff, I guess lol
5- Time Travel Troubles
This one was based on a prompt a friend gave me when I complained that I wanted so badly to write but had 0 ideas, lol. Of all my oneshots, I'm glad this one made it into my top 5.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Most of the time! Sometimes I can't think of a response though, and once I got overwhelmed with like 25 comments on one fic in one night from the same person so my brain kind of short-circuited lol. I definitely read and cherish every single one though.
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don't really do angst tbh, so none of my fics really have angsty endings.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
That's a tough one to pick, I always write happy endings. XD; I guess I'll go with Starting Over Again.
7. Do you write crossovers?
Sort of; honestly I think they'd qualify more as AUs than proper crossovers, but sometimes I just get bit by a bug to write all my favorite characters in some other media settings for shits & giggles. Murphy's Law (Skyrim), Space Shenanigans (Star Wars), The Stranger (Myst), Octan Nights (1001/Arabian Nights), and Hollow Heart (Beauty and the Beast)
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yeah, when I first started posting Murphy's Law on ff.net. Honestly it just made me laugh, it was so obviously some kid doing a shit job of being a troll.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I tried once. It was SO awful that I ended up deleting it and swore off ever trying again.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope. The fandom I'm in is pretty small so no one's bothered to translate any fics in it, at least as far as I know.
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Oh, eons ago when I was still just a little baby birb. I wrote a pitiful attempt at an OoT fic with 2 of my cousins that never got far. All my works since have been solo.
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Coppernauts. C:
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Lord I have SO MANY. Think I'd pick Tech Support though (with a much better rewrite to boot, so no link for this one. If you want to read the atrocious original, you'll have to hunt it down yourself :P).
15. What are your writing strengths?
I'm told I'm pretty good with characterization. I'll choose to believe it. ;3
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Describing literally anything. I am terrible for just... not doing it. Which is something I REALLY need to work on if I really want to reach my 300k goal with The Umiran Amulet.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
There's only one language I can speak in any capacity, so I just stick with English. If it's something that's meant to be in another language, I just italicize it. Only every once in a blue moon will I use a word in another language, like if a character is swearing in their native tongue, and only if I'm absolutely 100% certain it's the right word.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Ocarina of Time. It was the fic I mentioned earlier that I wrote with my 2 cousins.
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
I don't really have any, at least at this time. I am very, VERY slow to move between fandoms & ships and am probably still going to be quite happily writing for TLM even when there's literally only 5 of us left lol.
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
I'd have to say The Atlantis Expedition, which was my first ever fic for the TLM fandom, and the first one I'd ever finished period. I have others that I love just as much, but this one will always have a special place in my heart.

20 Questions For Writers
Was tagged by @kuraiarcoiris and decided why not. :V
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
35. I have more on other sites, but since I've made my AO3 account, that's how many I've posted there.
.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
656,547. Give or take a couple thousand.
.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently? Dream SMP. But I also have an Inscryption WIP and a couple Kpop WIPs that I really should get back to one of these days. orz But I've written for all sorts of fandoms over the years.
.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
5) Its Suffering Was Real [Inscryption]
This is the one that came as the biggest shock to me when I went and looked at my kudos count in preparation for this write-up. Like, really? People like the fic where I torture the sassy robot trapped in the body of a stoat for 7k words that much??
4) A Shoulder to Lean On [Avatar: The Last Airbender]
WHERE did all these people come from, I have like 6 comments on this thing (not counting my replies)??? I mean, I'm flattered, but ??!!?!
3) Accepting Amelioration [Voltron: Legendary Defender]
I mean, it's a Voltron fic posted back when the fandom was in full swing, it doesn't really surprise me the kudos counter is considerable, though I am still surprised it got that much traction considering the fic is gen and not shippy. Am still proud I made the first daemon AU in the entire fandom, though, if this is my claim to fame, then I'm ok with that. :p
2) Temporary Shelter [Astro / VIXX]
I seriously have no freaking clue how this little self indulgent Kpop crossover fic became so popular, I really don't. I mean, Kpop crossovers are niche at the best of times, and these two groups aren't exactly the most popular Kpop fandoms on AO3 if you know what I mean. It basically started as "wouldn't it be fun if my two favorite Kpop groups were secretly friends all this time? How would I have that happen, tho?" and then snowballed from there. I, uh. I'm glad so many other people like it, ig? 0_0
1) Paved with Pawprints [My Hero Academia]
Of course it's the MHA pet AU fic. Of course. OF COURSE-
.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Absolutely. It's only fair I reply if someone takes the time to read on my work and actually give me feedback about it, wouldn't you say? Plus, like most authors, I enjoy talking about my own work, so sue me. >:p
.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't usually do angsty endings; I prefer happy or at least bittersweet ones. I guess by default, it has to be the fic where I slowly killed off America and China from Axis Powers Hetalia for 13k words, while the rest of the cast had already been dead for centuries at that point. So yes, the entire cast of that series was dead by the end of that fic. :))) IN MY DEFENSE, ok, I was actually trying to give them a bittersweet ending by reuniting them with all of their old friends and family by finally letting them rest after so long alone, but it still turned out really sad. TT TT It's basically my only fic where I can't go back and reread it more than once every couple of years, because I still end up a sobbing mess by the end.
.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Well, I guess that's what you define "happiest" as. The most cathartic? The one with the least amount of trauma and extreme bodily injury incurred by the characters? 🤔 I guess by the latter definition, it would Kaleidoscopic Perceptions, a very fluffy USPH college AU that I actually enjoyed writing a lot despite me not usually enjoying romance or college AUs.
.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
No, thankfully. I've gotten a couple kinda weird comments, and of course the obligatory "It's been X months since you updated were you aware?????" comments, but no outright negativity.
.
9. Do you write smut?
LMAO. Absolutely not.
.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Yes! I really love crossovers. I have a few common fallbacks that fit with a lot of fandoms (daemon AUs, Firefly AUs, etc.), but I also enjoy fandom-specific crossovers when I can figure out how to pull them off.
.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No idea. I hope not!
.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Just once for this Gravity Falls fic.
.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Yes. It had a few ups and downs, but it was overall a really positive experience, and I think it turned out really well!
.
14. What‘s your all-time favorite ship?
idk that I have an ALL TIME favorite ship, especially since I hardly ever ship anything, but Frobin is pretty choice, I gotta say.
.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Er, none of them, hopefully? I hope that I eventually get to finish all my WIPs at some point, even if it might take me awhile. >.>; But I suppose if I had to pick ONE to abandon, I'd probably pick Written In, my D&D Inscryption crossover AU. I like the IDEA for it, but writing it out is like pulling teeth, and after the first installment where the party gets together, I don't really have a lot of ideas on where to take the plot. :/ Like I have the general overarching idea but no plot structure or anything but small disconnected story beats.
.
16. What’s your writing strengths?
I like to think I do a pretty good job with descriptions while not bogging the story down too much with too much detail?
.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh, staying motivated ig. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if you're asking my weakness about mechanics, though, uh... exposition, I guess? Dialogue in general, sometimes.
.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
If there is actual information included in the other language, then you better provide a translation. If it's just for flavor, though, have at it.
-
19. First fandom you wrote for?
TMNT, specifically the 2003 show. It's never been posted anywhere on the internet and never will. :)
-
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
Becoming Real, a Kpop fanfic based on VIXX's Voodoo Doll MV. However, it can easily stand on its own as its own original work. I consider it the most accessible story I've ever written, and it also was just very easy for me to write. Writing is often like pulling teeth for me, but not this story.

3, 8, 9, 20, 27, 32, 35, 51, 53 and 64 for the fic writer ask game!
3. on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?
It has its place, and I am guilty of slipping romance or at least shippy vibes into fics that I did not INTEND to be romantic. I also like writing it in general, even though I struggle with writing the physical aspects (kissing). so I'd say, probably like, a 7/10. which is surprising, because the majority of my fics are rated Gen.
actually I went and figured out that out of all my fics, 70% of them are rated gen which I think is a fun coincidence.
8. what’s your relationship with constructive criticism and feedback like? do you seek it out? how well do you take it?
If I ask for it, I would like it. I don't want it if I didn't ask for it. I may still read it and consider it, but I'm gonna be annoyed by it. Feedback in general? fine - but I do like more than just "I liked this", although I love those comments. when I'm looking for FEEDBACK though, I need more than that. I need to know all your thoughts.
9. in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?
If I'm involved, why not? I think the majority of my (imagined) works would work better as a series, though. We've seen how turning longer works into movies works - usually not very well. I want to see my ocs on the screen. (in my dream world it would be an animated show, especially the fantasy ones, but we can't have everything in this live action obsessed world.)
20. what is your favorite trope to write?
soft fics: found family
hurt/comfort fics: trauma reveals
27. do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished? And who do you share them with?
depends on how much thought I put into a fic. I'll usually at least scan through and reread fics before publishing, but if it's a fic I wrote in one sitting totally at random? I'll skim it and then post without thinking twice. Fics that I put more thought in, I'll go over at least a few times before publishing. I've only shared rough drafts a few times, and that's when I'm really unsure about the story for some reason and need someone to give it a scan and let me know their thoughts.
32. do characters influence your writing style?
oh definitely!! Every character is a little different so that changes how I write their perspective, so that automatically changes the voice I use when I'm writing.
35. tell us about a character who’s very different than you who you love a whole lot
Most characters I love a whole lot are very different from me lmao but the one who comes to mind most of all is probably Yataka from Arata the Legend. He's a very prim and proper man, very focused on etiquette and being a gentleman, he hates being touched, is obsessed with cleanliness, and also is a HUGE bitch, will bicker like a 5 year old with his best friend (neither of them would admit to being best friends and have one of THE MOST dynamics of all time), and has the capacity for extreme violence and absolutely unhinged behaviour. he also hates himself so much. I'm obsessed with him I love him so much.
51. share the synopsis of a story you work on that you haven’t published yet
Sersi gets harassed/assaulted and the team/whoever sees it are fiercely protective. (aka more Sersi whump and team dynamics.) (I'm still debating whether Ikaris should know or not because he may straight up kill the person.)
53.when writing, do you have an outline? and do you stick to it?
depends on how much I care about the details of the story, or how much I want to get it right. Especially if it's a longer fic, I want to plan as much as I can ahead of time. Or if it deals with more serious topics, I want to figure out how to deal with those ahead of time.
64. what is your favourite title for a fic you’ve read?
5 Times Where Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji Lose a Braincell and 1 Time Where They Lose Another on account of it being a perfect summary of the fic.

20 questions for fic writers
I was tagged by the endlessly lovely @hgejfmw-hgejhsf!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
35! Don't ask me how many are completed.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
134,552.
Wow. That's, like, one fic for some people but also way more than I thought I’d written so that’s cool.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, only RWRB! I used to be a pretty active Dramione writer (HP fandom).
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
How to Break a Curse (Dramione, fuck or die)
Sucker 4 U (Dramione, clit sucker)
Pin-Up (Dramione, sexy calendar photoshoot lol)
Lesson Learnt (Draco/Hermione/Theo/Blaise, sex lessons, no regrets)
Flat(Mates) (Dramione, omegaverse)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try my best to! I love getting comments -- I'm a biiiig words of affirmation girlie so I have screenshots of basically every comment I've ever gotten, lol. But I am also an easily overwhelmed and easily distracted girlie (see: ADHD) so sometimes I don't and I promise it's not because I don't love your comment with every beat of my heart.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
OH, I ACTUALLY HAVE AN ANSWER TO THIS! I don't write angst but I did leave this bloody-on-your-doorstep fic on a cliffhanger and then never wrote another word of it so. That was pretty angsty of me.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
a quick study (my latest fic, which is Alex/Henry/Pez) because there were 3 happy endings in a row.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I don't think I have, and I'm very thankful for that.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I have never written an impure word in my life. I don't even know how to spell clock.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I used to write HP/Twilight crossovers with my best friend when we were 13. It was all crack and made us laugh a lot. Thankfully, I think it was mostly on paper only so there is no internet proof.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! I think a few of my Dramiones have been translated.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I've co-written a few drabbles! It's a lot of fun seeing other writers' processes and how much less insane they are than mine.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
I love FirstPrince SO much right now. They're just so perfect for each other!
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
All of them. I'm only determined to finish Five-Drink Henry right now. All of them but that one.
16. What are your writing strengths?
People have told me that I'm good at characterization, which is a compliment that always makes my heart grow three sizes.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I struggle a lot with interiority and anything descriptive of setting or appearance, lol.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I think it's awesome, and I love it when writers do it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
My first piece of writing ever was either Dragon Tales or Franklin fanfic when I was like 4. So I guess one of those.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
My favorite Dramione I've written is Good Girls Get to Sit on Santa's Lap because it was a deviation from my norm in a few different ways, and it was just a lot of fun to write.
For FirstPrince, I've just so so so enjoyed writing every single thing. Right now, I'm going to say Five-Drink Henry, because I like getting to show their relationship developing.
I'm tagging @roseharpermaxwell, @holygnocchi, @millennialgrandma, @eveningstruggle, @eggbagelsjr, and @sodamnradd!

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Whew, I've been so slammed, but I really want to do this! Got tagged byyyyy @signiorbenedickofpadua @valeriianz and @themirokai — thanks so much!
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
35
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
402,826
3. What fandoms do you write for?
The Magnus Archives
The Sandman
Malevolent
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Music When You Speak — 762
Love and Nonsense at Leitner Press — 644
The Gilded Cup — 371
Hiding in Plain Sight — 316
Invoke Me Under My Stars — 314
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to respond to most of them! Sometimes if it's someone commenting through an entire fic I only reply to a couple of them, but generally even if it's an old fic I try to reply.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Technically Above and Beyond, but it's a "deleted scene" from a long fic with a very happy ending. So if we're going by more self-contained fics, probably You're Gonna Catch Hell. Both are short and smutty and the angst isn't very intense. I'm not very well-practiced in unhappy endings.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
See last question lol. I think the end of Belong to Me is probably the highest net happiness for at least four characters in my longest running AU.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not really. I got one comment on an unfinished fic (that had been marked "on indefinite hiatus") with a passive aggressive comment about not getting anymore updates. It was the first comment I'd ever gotten on that particular fic. 😂😂😂
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Absolutely. As much as possible. I write vanilla and BDSM, although there are usually lots of feelings involved. I've done mostly MM but recently branched out into FF.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Not yet
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes! I wrote The Gilded Cup and Invoke Me Under My Stars with the ever-talented @beholdme, who is the reason why I'm in the Sandman fandom in the first place.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Tim and Gerry from The Magnus Archives. They never meet in canon and weren't a super common ship, but I've written almost 200k words about them, and I've been seeing them more often on Tumblr and AO3! 👀 I was *starving* for fanart of them while I wrote that first long fic. Not even art for *my* fic—just the ship in general! And now @occudo in particular is watering my crops on the reg. 💜🖤💜🖤 Bless you and all you do for the fandom.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I really hate to leave things unfinished, but that one that only got the single passive aggressive comment most likely (it's called "You Can Only Watch" but I'm not going to link it because I'm meh about it). It was my first multichapter fic and had an OC MC. They say that's usually a self-insert, but, spoiler alert, they were an Extinction avatar and were going to die horribly, so I don't know what that says about me. I ended up leaning so hard into researching and writing environmental horror and eschatology and I gave myself a full-on existential crisis. It was a pretty cool horror idea, honestly, but I think I traumatized myself into becoming a contemporary romcom writer. Whoops.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm pretty good with pacing, plot, and characterizations.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm not a big poet, so I'm having to work pretty hard on developing more descriptive and figurative language skills. Also it took some work for me to soften my tone in general, because I can be kind of glib and/or methodical sometimes.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Hasn't really come up for me yet
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Magnus Archives. I've only been doing this since 2021 👀
20. Favorite fic you've written?
I feel like I've become a much better writer since this one, but Hiding in Plain Sight was one of the most formative writing experiences I've ever had. I put my entire heart into it, and I learned so much about writing and about myself while I worked on it.
I'm kind of late to the party on this, so I'm not going to tag anyone, but if someone else wants to do it, please do!

20 questions writer meme
Trying to get back into putting words onto a page, so why not do a bit of retrospective? Can't hurt, at least, lmao.
For anyone that isn't aware or would like to browse tags and summaries before clicking the direct links below, I am Pandelion on Ao3. My answers below are based on my Ao3 fics, for the most part.
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 35
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 207,935 (arguably, only 150k are mine due to cowritten fic)
3. What fandoms do you write for? Bleach and Yin Yang Master most recently, but I've previously written for SPN, MCU, Teen Wolf, LoTR and a number of other fandoms over the last almost twenty years.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. Begins A New Beginning (Teen Wolf, 3.2k words, alternate canon)
2. The Captain And The Dragon (Avengers, 600 words, fantasy AU ficlet)
3. kiss with a fist (better than none) (Bleach, 5.5k words, canon divergent post-Aizen)
4. Here There Be Dragons (Vikings, 6.4k words, alt. canon, dragon!Athelstan)
5. Making It Work (Avengers, 5.2k words, daemon AU where Phil Coulson is Fury's daemon)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try to and I absolutely read every single comment I get, but answering them doesn't always happen for one reason or another.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I enjoy a good spot of angst, but I rarely end on it. That said, i will not replace (what i lost in you) and it's sequel hands shaking with regret (i've held this dream) for the Yin Yang Master fandom is probably the winner.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hmm, probably 'neath the love-light gleam, which was written for a Bleach Secret Santa gift exchange and is almost entirely fluff.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Haven't yet!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? The kind that doesn't get posted in public fics lmao. Honestly, I think only 2 or 3 of the fics I've posted to Ao3 even have sexual content beyond like, kissing and holding hands. The one fic that is actually marked as Explicit is probably surprisingly non-vanilla-ish for being the only one I've posted? But yeah, most of my explicit writing happens outside of Ao3.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I was going to say yes, but then realized that I haven't written an actual crossover since my LJ days. I usually write AUs based on other existing media, such as daemon AUs (His Dark Materials) or something like my rewriting of The Mummy (1999) with Bleach characters. That said, I once wrote a SPN/Gundam Wing crossover, that's probably the craziest one I've written.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I have! One of my fics was translated into Polish last year. I don't read Polish, so I haven't been able to read it, but I'm super thrilled that someone liked it enough to do so!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have one fic listed as co-written on Ao3, so technically yes, but I'm really on there more as part of the back-end development side, as my cowriter has done the vast majority of the actual writing. I love to rp, but actually co-writing is more difficult, in a way.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? Oh man, um. I'm going to say Grimmjow/Ichigo from Bleach, since their dynamic keeps pulling me back in, but honestly there are so many pairings that I gravitate back to again and again.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? There are so many WIPs in my gdocs that will never see the light of day, honestly. So many snippets of ideas and concepts that won't get fleshed out. I have two WIPs currently posted and I'm praying to get the inspiration/ability to finish them, so hopefully they won't join the list of never to be finished fics.
16. What are your writing strengths? World-building, for sure. I love settings, I love developing and establishing a world in a fic. And not in the, like, writing down all the details of the world sort of way, but in the broad strokes of character actions and interactions. I've also been told that my general style of writing is pretty great, but that might have been from a biased source lmao.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Pacing, most likely. Plot of any real sort. If you look at my Ao3, the vast majority of my fics are 5k or under, usually under 3k or so. I have such a hard time with long form fic, I have no idea how to properly pace things, I don't use outlines much at all, and constructing a plot is hard lmao. I much prefer to give little oneshots of a concept or something, leave the bigger plot implied and waiting in the wings.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? So hard! Doing a direct translation works for some things, but other stuff can be way too tangled up in the messiness of real language. I'd definitely prefer to have a native speaker that I can consult about it if I were to do anything with more than a phrase or two.
19. First fandom you wrote for? So, way back before I knew about ff.net or LiveJournal, way before Ao3 was a thing, I wrote what was effectively Dragonrider of Pern fic. After that, probably Rurouni Kenshin or Yu Yu Hakusho.
20. Favorite fic you've written? and the stars led me back to you (Bleach, 4.4k words, Grimmjow/Ichigo, space!au). I love all my fics, of course, but this one was just so good, very much a case of me writing something with myself as the intended audience. I reread it fairly often. kiss with a fist (better than none) is probably a fairly close runner-up, though, I am still so pleased with some of the dialogue and dynamics in that.

Now We Know What YOLO Really Means: In Numbers
have you ever read a fic and wondered 'what are the statistics for this fic's content?' well i have. and i watch a lot of coleydoesthings on youtube and i see them do stats for fics ALL THE TIME so now im doing it.
idk i just find it interesting. feel free to ignore this lol
go follow @neverendingcarnival and READ THEIR FIC its insane i love it sm ye dont even know. am i a bit pissed that it updated AFTER i did all the numbers and had to redo them? yes. but its fine were fine everythings finee.
NUMBERS UNDER THE CUT
so, what have i decided was worthy of my time youre wondering. obviously every plot point isnt here, but the major ones and my favourites are. hopefully some of yeres are too! (my favourite character is mischa so there is a lot of mischa here. youve been warned)
Noels crush on Mischa
Noel started crushing on Mischa in the very beginning - the first time he mentions it is in chapter one. between then and chapter 152, noel has a consistent crush on mischa. noel spends 64% of the fic crushing on mischa, or 152 chapters.
2. Mischa's crush on Noel
a three part mini opera. just kidding. but it is split into three parts, because mischa doesnt initially recognise hes crushing on noel. so. lets begin. mischa first starts unknowingly crushing on noel in chapter ten, and continues to be blind to it until chapter 39. that makes up 12% of the fic. mischa then spends another 113 chapters knowingly crushing on noel, which is another 47% of the fic. in total, until the confession in chapter 152, mischa spends 59% (142 chapters) crushing on noel.
3. Nischa dating
nischa have been dating since chapter 152. thats 35% of the fic. just over half of what noel spent pining.
4. Savannah's crush on Ricky
while it can be argued that savannah was crushing on ricky since the beginning, she first explicitly states in in chapter 21. having an actual sane 'pining period', ricky confesses in chapter 51, meaning savannah only pines for 12% of the fic (30 chapters).
5. Ricky's crush on Savannah
ricky first explicitly states that they like savannah in chapter eight. from then until their confession in chapter 51, they pine for savannah for 43 chapters, or 18% of the fic
6. Spacedolls dating
another three parter! spacedolls dated for 130 chapters prior to ricky giving savannah the promise rings, which is 54% of the fic. they then spend the remainer of the fic with the promise rings, which is 23% of the fic or 56 chapters. they date for 186 chapters or 78% of the fic in total. that is two times longer than nischa
7. Constance's crush on Ocean
Constance first acknowledges her crush on ocean in chapter 39. she crushes for 53 chapters or 22% of the fic
8. Ocean's crush on Constance
ocean first realises that she likes women, and constance specifically, in chapter 37. she crushes for 55 chapters or 23% of the fic
9. Blackrose dating
Blackrose confess in chapter 92, and continue to date for 145 chapters. that makes up 61% of the fic
10. Mischalia dating
Two parts to this one! Mischa and Talia date for 22 chapters of the fic, so 9%. for 12 of those chapters, mischa expresses that the relationship is going downhill, which is 5%.
11. Ricky's nightmares
ricky gets nightmares, triggered in chapter 131, and gets medication for them in chapter 224. as far as we know, ricky is taking the medication and is no longer having nightmares. so, we can say that the nightmares lasted 93 chapters or 39% of the fic
12. Mary making an effort
Mary, mischas adoptive mother, began making an effort to be familial to mischa in chapter 77, and has continued to do so since (love you mary x), so 93 chapters or 67% of the fic
14. Mischa's hate comments
mischa first saw the hate comments on his youtube channel in chapter 207, and they have continued ever since. mischa has been getting hate comments for 30 chapters or 12% of the fic
15. Miscellaneous Numbers
ricky came out to savannah as non binary in chapter 15
'the great coming out' was in chapter 20
constance realised shes ace in chapter 17
i hope that that was as interesting to anyone else as it was for me. my apologies if it was actually kinda boring, idk how niche the target audience for this is lol

20 questions for fic writers!
Thank you so much for tagging me @orange-peony, these things are always so fun to do!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 40 works right now.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
624,677, which is more than I thought I had (probably due to the fact 1/6th of them were posted during the past 5 months or so)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I only really write for Harry Potter, though I do like to play in next-gen, marauder and golden-trio era so there's a little variation there.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Blue Roses and Other Impossible Things Drarry, 40k, E
To Be Out of Your Own (and consumed by another) Drarry, 18k, E
Though My Mind Could Think (I still was a mad man) Drarry, 87k, E
Things Unknown but Longed for Still Drarry, 30k, E
Use My Last Breath (to say I love you), Harry/Charlie, 6k, E
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do. I love talking about fics in general, but especially the ones I write. I love reading theories or thoughts people had while reading, and responding to those. And also, comments make me so happy and I want to show that to the person who commented because I know it can take a lot of energy and mental work to comment at all.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I actually think I have to list more than one, because I have three that all end kind of terribly.
A Long Line of Fine Rarry 2k
There is a First Time for Dying Scorbus, 1.5K
Give Me a Memory Drarry, 2.5k
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably all the rest of them.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yeah, sometimes.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yeah, I think like 35 of the 40 fics are rated E for smut. I like to write all kinds tbh. Like, super angsty, kinky, romantic, longing etc. I think it's the feelings and emotions that makes it fun for me, but they don't really have to be all positive.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I tried once years and years ago to write a supernatural and Hunger Games crossover, but I never finished it.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I had one reposted on Instagram once, but nothing else that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah, a couple.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I don't think I'd be any good at it tbh, I can never stick to an outline.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
I think maybe Drarry, but that might be because there are SO many great fics written for it. But I also adore rarry and prongsfoot, and I think I love them just as much – I just read them less because there are fewer fics.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
There are a lot tbh, but the one I'm always angry about not being able to finish is a fic I started a loong about Muggles finding out about magic and inventing technology to supress it, and Draco and Harry working to get Teddy out of England.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think (or at least hope) it's putting words to feelings and emotions. I tend to struggle to name or describe my own feelings so I usually explore that a fair bit in fics.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm pretty sure I'm ace so I struggle a lot with writing my characters as feeling physical attraction. I think I can do the emotions and physical bits, but yeah, the whole attraction thing is difficult. And also describing actions. I'll have a character stand up to do something and then completely forget I did it, so they'll be sitting down in the next line. Or they'll just be talking with zero description of what they're doing.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'm not sure I have any. I never have myself, but I'm not really opposed as much as I've never had a need.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter. I think it was a hinny fic sometime between the fifth and sixth book came out. At the time I had no idea what fanfiction or shipping was at all, and it never left the notebook I wrote it in.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
I think my favourites changes every time I try to pick one, but right now it's these:
Like a Dream I Can Reach (but not quite hold) queerplatonic darry, 19.5k
Though My Mind Could Think (I still was a mad man) Drarry, 87k
Four Gallons of Oblivious Rarry, 18k
I'll tag @stargazing-enby, @drarryruinedme7, @acnelli @maesterchill @pineau-noir and @shealwaysreads if you want to do it (and haven't already). And anyone else who'd like to do this!

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
@willowmckinley tagged me!
1. How many works do you have on ao3? 74! Man it really doesn't feel like I've written that much.
2. What's your total ao3 word count? 227,559!
3. What fandoms do you write for? Justified and wrestling most often. Then one offs for things that made me crazy.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1) Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot (MCU, Starker). 2) Every Animal Has Rules (Nope, Angel/OJ) 3) I Try To Picture Me Without You (Moon Knight, Steven/Marc) 4) Six Years (MCU, Starker) 5) Fine By Me (Ted Lasso, Isaac/Colin)
It's hilarious to me that that 35 of my fics are Justified and not a single one cracks the top 5.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try to! But currently my inbox on Ao3 is 400 deep so uh. I'm working on it! Sometimes I get overwhelmed, sometimes I just don't know what to say in response. But I greatly appreciate every comment I get!
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? So I personally think it's It Matters Where You Live. It's MCD and grief and I went Through It writing it. But if I go with the emotional trauma I've caused on the server, it's Buttermilk.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I had to think really hard about this, because mostly I write smut and sadness. But if I had to pick one, it's probably Every Animal Has Rules because it leaves it on a note of hope and happiness.
8. Do you get hate on fics? So...not directly on Ao3? I've gotten a deluge of 'kill yourself' messages on tumblr in the past, but it mostly just made me more nonchalant about the gross shit I write. But yeah thankfully no mean comments.
9. Do you write smut? Hell yeah I do.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I enjoy them immensely! Haven't written a lot. I think the only one on Ao3 is And Having Been Set Free which is Justified/Supernatural. Because I am a cliche.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I am privileged I guess because I was not even aware that was a thing.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Someone asked once I think? Probably on an MCU fic.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope! But I share the 'Out My Back Door' series with @itookyoudown!
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? Oh lord. I cannot do all time. Recency bias my beloved. Currently enjoying Sanji/Luffy/Zoro. Long time loves are Malec, Alfie/Tommy and Givenson.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? A Malec fic based very, very loosely on Crazy Rich Asians. I had big plans and an outline and the final season just took the winds right out of my sails.
16. What are your writing strengths? Oh boy, I am not good at saying nice things about myself. My visuals, maybe? I'd like to think it's my ability to portray emotion, but who knows.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Finishing things. Being hyper sensitive to things most people wouldn't even call criticism. If I write a gift fic (which whoo boy learned my lesson on that one) and it doesn't get the exact range of response I want, it really kicks me in the emotional balls. Which isn't fair to me or anybody else. So I'm really working on 1) finishing things before I post any. And 2) writing for myself so I don't end up disappointed.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I am monolingual. I might slip a curse word in another language but beyond that, I'll go with the tried and true italics.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Oh Jesus. Uh...Dragon Ball Z, I think. Self insert fic at like 12. Yikes. I printed it on fancy parchment paper too.
20. Favorite fic you've written? And Everything Went Black - Wrestling fic, MoxEddie. To this day it's probably my favorite thing I've written. (Stefon voice: It's got everything!) Demon possession, weird visuals, dreams as metaphors and two dudes in love. Nowhere near a popular thing but my beloved.

Fic FAQ: Where your love has always been enough (for me)
Hello, I thought I'd compile the most frequent questions I've been getting for this fic here for easier viewing/in case you have the same question! :)
WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUND
Do avoid reading if you're not up to date with the current chapter, or if you'd rather wait and see how things go as new chapters are released!
1. How old are all the children?
Their ages will of course increase with time since this fic spans so many years, but as of chapter 19 (Shouto's birth):
Touya: 10
Fuyumi: 6
Natsuo: 4
Shouto: 0
Keigo: 9
Emiko: 9
Geten: 6
Hana: 10
Tenko: 5
There are some differences from canon since this fic was planned long before all the children's ages were confirmed in the manga!
2. When is Hawks going to appear ?
As of chapter 23: very, very soon...
3. Is Touya/Hawks going to be a thing?
Yes, they most definitely are! Don't worry I wouldn't be so evil as to tag them for only that angsty DabiHawks scene set in canon :')
4. When is AFO going to do something/why isn't All Might doing anything about AFO?
No, I haven't forgotten that AFO exists (and neither has All Might) but unfortunately, there are only so many plotlines that can be actively followed at once :') Let's just say, AFO is up to his usual scheming behind the scenes and All Might is actively dismantling various of his organised crime units.
(That being said, we should get a little preview of AFO in a couple of chapters from C23!)
5. Is Izuku going to make an appearance?
Definitely!
6. Are any of the Todoroki children also from Enji's canon timeline/going to travel back in time from the future?
Unfortunately not, for 2 main reasons:
1) It's a little universe breaking since the way the branching timelines work, even if the kids travel back, it'd be this AU timeline's version of them who would travel back rather than their canon versions (who would still be stuck in their sucky canon childhood with canon Endeavour)
2) It'd make for a whole story of its own that wouldn't fit into this already very giant fic :')
BUT on both those notes, I'm very willing to break the universe's space-time rules and explore the delicious feels in a spin off! It's still a long way to go (I'd probably want to complete the main fic first), but I imagine any of the kids (Dabi, anyone?) would have a pretty interesting reaction to being thrown into this AU
Feel free to let me know which characters you'd most like to see in that scenario :)
7) How long will this fic be?
Good question :') While my headcanons stretch out across the kids' childhoods and deep into their teenage years and beyond... in the name of good storytelling to avoid bloating this fic too much, this story will likely end pre-canon, albeit with a long canon era epilogue.
Projected total chapter count (subject to change): ~30-35
Before I get a lot of screams and angry yelling: I do still intend to flesh out and post those headcanons I mentioned as stories in the same series. Whether as a single actual slice-of-life sequel or multiple character-focused fics or a mix, I haven't yet decided, but there's that!
---
Feel free to ask if you have questions that aren't listed here! :)

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Tagged by @stevethehairington and @hotluncheddie. Thank you! 🖤 🖤
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
35, spread over two accounts.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
345 730
3. What fandoms do you write for?
A bunch. Currently it's Stranger Things and the Spiderverse films, although I'm starting to have Arcane thoughts too.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
November Paramedic (Stranger Things)
Unraveled (Spiderverse)
your eyes on me (i think i'll cause a scene) (Stranger Things)
Lesson/Plan (Stranger Things)
this might mean something (Stranger Things)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, eventually. It might take a few years but I do it! I promise I enjoy replying – I'm just slow and forgetful.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't really do angsty endings, or angst at all. On my second (secret!) AO3 account one of my fics ends with the main character "dying" and getting mutilated, but in a kinda hopeful and poetic way?
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of them end on an equally happy note.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No. When I still posted on ff.net I sometimes got harsh comments, but they tried to be constructive and helpful, plus I asked for critical feedback, so I don't count it.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, and the good kind? I hope? 😆 I think I'm pretty flexible when it comes to kink and such, though usually in a light way. So far I've only posted gay smut (but I have lesbian and straight stored away on my laptop. Maybe I'll finish it and show you one day).
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't even read crossovers.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
See above answer.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but it seems like it'd be fun!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Impossible to answer as my favorite ship is the one I'm currently obsessed with. I'm not more attached to any of them. When I was in the midst of the ST obsession it was Steddie and Lumax, and later Buckingham. Nowadays I'm more focused on Punkflower and Timebomb. Who knows what'll come next.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
My big Mortal Kombat fic 😔 It's almost 7 years since I last updated and my standards have gotten so much higher; I'd have to rewrite the entire thing before I could continue.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think my strength is that I don't have one big strength or weakness? I'm rather good at everything. Not the best at characterization, dialogue, prose, etc. but competent enough at everything to create some good, balanced stories. A jack of all trades, as they say.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Adding meaning to my writing. Writing just for fun is, well, fun, but sometimes I'd like to actually say something with my writing.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Only after rigorous research.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First written was Naruto; first published was Romeo and Juliet. That's right, I'm versatile!
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
I'll list a few, because I cannot choose just one:
November Paramedic, because of how fun it was to write and the wonderful reception it received. This fic convinced me I can be funny.
Uniquely Mine (Stranger Things), because I think I did say something with it. It's very pretty and heartfelt. Also, Stobin 4ever.
synchronicity (cut me open, cut you down) (MCR), because my beta (ily Andréa, wherever you are) and I did such a good job putting it together. Most coherent fic I've ever written. It just works so well, and I really feel my vision came through.
Unraveled, because of basically the same reasons I gave for synchronicity. This one isn't finished yet but I just know I'm going to love the end result.
There! That was fun. Now I'll try to tag people I think haven't already done this (but no pressure): @throughthevale, @madaboutmunson, @riality-check, @hilarychuff, @its-just-a-glitch
