Finally got the motivation to take part in The Durrell Challenge, despite having medical issues that make it near impossible for me to run, I decided to walk the 13k distance for charity that does great work

Scrolling down Tumblr and coming across an unexpected Durrells gif: *Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll* Callum Woodhouse?? *Scroll, scroll, scroll.*

#The ACGAS brainrot is real. I've never even SEEN The Durrells. #Leslie and Tristan are styled too similarly. Callum as himself I do not recognize as quickly. Callum as Leslie though... #I don't know how to tag this #So I guess I'll put it in #Miscellaneous Fandom

May I request some jealous Henry with lots of fluff, please? 🥹❤️

You got it, babe! I may have taken a bit of a liberty with this one. I got a thought in my head and had to get it out, so I'm sorry if it wasn't quite what you'd imagined, lol. Thanks for stopping by!

Warnings: a little bit of angsty homesickness, some raunchy banter, and plenty of fluff in the form of a cow/bear/pig

"So...What are you wearing?"

"Henry!"

His laughter fills the room. Another night apart means another night alone in bed. Distance is always hard on a relationship, and though you've been through your share of time apart, it doesn't make it any easier this time around. At least it's just for a couple of weeks, while he's off running the press gauntlet for the newest season of The Witcher. It's bittersweet this time around. The last several months have been hard, watching him mourn the loss of a project he loved so much, and it sucks that you couldn't be there for him now. The plan was for him to go off and do everything abroad, then you'd meet back up and join him at the premiere in London. In the meantime though, all this waiting was driving you nuts.

The house is dark, except for the glow of the bedside lamp that illuminates the room that you're used to sharing with your man and his bear. Kal is used to tagging along for most adventures, and it's clear that he's a bit disappointed about having to stay behind as well. His ears perk up at the sound of his dad's voice, but doesn't bother to investigate further. He's far too comfy to move.

"Come on, love. Just a peek?"

Henry is a menace, and he knows what that does to you. With those beautiful eyes and that cheeky little grin, you could never tell him no. Throwing the blankets aside, you reach out to adjust the screen of your laptop to give him the perfect view of your sexiest fleece pajama bottoms.

"Hey!" he protests. "That's my shirt!"

"Yeah, and?

Even now, propped up in the bed of a hotel room a couple thousand miles away, Henry couldn't hide from you. The banter was just a facade, a distraction to keep you from seeing just how much he missed you. He thought he'd built a wall of stone to keep you from knowing, but in reality, it was just a pane of glass. One look and it shattered around him.

Henry sighs. He doesn't have to speak for you to know what he's feeling, because you feel it too. It's an odd sensation, feeling so homesick when you're still at home. You look down at the t-shirt you're wearing. The gray one he wore in the Durrell Challenge a few years back. Even though its been sitting in the back of the closet for a while, it still smells like him. That's why you picked it.

"What time is it there?" you ask, but it's clear by the look in his eyes just how tired he is. Must be getting pretty late, even for an insomniac gamer like him.

"Late. But I don't have anything planned for the morning, so don't worry."

You sit in silence for a moment, both of you laying on your sides facing each other just as you would if he were here with you now. When you open your mouth to speak, to finally admit just how much you miss him, you're cut short by a loud, rumbling snort from the foot of the bed. The culprit lets out a yawn ("Good yawn!") and a stretch ("Big stretch, bubba"), then works his way up the bed to nose at the keyboard a bit.

"Uh oh. We've woken the bear," you tease, rubbing the beast behind his ears as he circles the space he's made between you and the computer to rest in. Kal sniffs and sighs to voice his disappointment, then settles down again to snooze for a little while longer.

"Keeping Mumma company, I see," Henry smirks. "I might even let it slide that you've let him on the bed."

You shrug, grinning ear to ear as you ruffle Kal's mane. "When the wolf's away..."

That struck a nerve. Maybe it's the jetlag finally catching up to him, or maybe its the distance. You can see it in the shift in his eyes, the tense of his jaw. It makes you snort with laughter.

"Oh, come on, Cavill. Look at that face. You can't possibly be jealous of him. You'll get plenty of snuggles the moment you're home." Then you wink. "Snuggles, and then some."

The wrinkles on his brow disappear, and he realizes just how silly it is to be jealous of the dog. Better to be jealous of him than someone else, at least. Shaking his head, he laughs. What an idiot. Either way, it's good enough for now. Henry shifts to prop himself up on an elbow to look down at the screen. He's sure you'll make good on your promise. In the meantime...

"Now," he says with a grin. Good ole Henry, always back to business as per usual. "Care to flash me a tit?"

Ao3 fic writers questions. I was tagged by @batnbreakfast and @slightlyintimidating , thank you both!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

109

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

409, 456

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Recent fics are Berena (holby City) and all creatures great and small (2020 version).

Previous fandoms include Ted lasso, doctor who, the durrells and cabin pressure.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Cherry cake (Ted lasso, Ted x trent)

But that's what happens (doctor who, thasmin)

I promise I will do my best (to be true to myself) (holby City, berena)

Observations of trent crimm (the independent) (Ted lasso, Ted x Rebecca)

Rocket ships and shooting stars (Ted lasso, Ted x trent).

These definitely show which the biggest fandom is, rather than my best work. Who would have thought Ted x trent would blow up like it did!

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

Yes, though sometimes very late. I appreciate the comments I get so I want to show that!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

In her dreams (holby City, berena) which when I wrote it was canon compliant with bernie being dead and then serena died at the end of the fic.

I don't like angst and will almost always write it with a happy ending if I do have to write it.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my other fics to be honest. The guy (or girl) gets the guy (or girl) and they live happily ever after.

8. Do you get hate on fic?

Only once and it was about an actor, not the fic.

9. Do you write smut?

When the mood takes me 😅

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I've written, um, maybe 3 crossovers? None of them are particularly crazy.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of...

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone once asked to translate a thasmin one. I don't know if they ever did though.

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

Once, with the lovely and mysterious @slightlyintimidating . It was great fun! Definitely recommend

14. What's your all time favourite ship?

Haha... ha. Nope, can't answer that! I love all my ships.

15. What's a wip you want to finish but probably won't?

Happy to say that all my published fic is complete. At the moment, I'd just like to be in the mood to write anything at all really.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'm pretty good at keeping people in character.

I think my dialogue is OK most of the time?

17. What are your writing weaknesses

Description. Urgh. Just imagine something in your head and pretend I described it please.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't think it works. If you're fluent and can write something that's not a mess, your audience might not be fluent to understand it. And if you're not then just... no. Write it in whatever language your fic is in and say its that other language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. Didn't publish it as I didn't even realise fanfic was a thing back then.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Might be recency bias, but Home Front (acgas, Siegfried x audrey). I reread it recently and loved it. It has a good plot, the characters are solid, the OCs are good, the setting is good, the animals are lovely.

I'm doing this on my phone and I can't rewrite the questions out. Sorry. If you would like to answer these, consider yourself tagged!

❝ your top 15 favorite tv shows can say a lot about your personality ❞

thank you for the tag, @nilesandcc! 😊

i thought this was going to be easy, but then i realized quickly that i was wrong. i just watch and love too much tv. i could probably do a definitive top 50 without much suffering, but who knows?

my criteria here was: shows i still have in sort of regular rewatch rotation! this meant that i left out shows like buffy and xena and x-files that i have not returned to for years, even though they are forever faves to me.

Anne with an E

Arrested Development

Community

The Durrells

love listening to Callum Woodhouse, who has a northern accent, fight for his life to do an RP accent while surrounded by characters who speak with Yorkshire accents

#acgas 2020 #all creatures great and small #callum woodhouse #tristan farnon #he is doing great but learning he's doing an accent has explained some of his deliveries i will be honest #i think the writing in acgas has forced him to really lean into the RP in a way that's not natural for him #it's the calling jim 'old chap' and suchlike that's making it really come out #like sam west sounds incredibly natural doing his accent i think because its (as someone with a canadian ear) super close to his real accen #but callum's is different enough that immersing him in a yorkshire setting is making it... difficult #it was easier to get away with in the durrells #partly because he was a 'kid' with zero class and parly because he was surrounded by people with greek accents #i'm writing all this because i'm avoiding going and getting my laundry for the record i'm not actually that invested

[demivampirew]

I better not hear Andrea, Riot, and the rest of the stans saying Henry hasn't changed. Henry's lack of support for Durrell in the last few years, Henry not taking the time to go to Jersey to do the challenge and properly promote the event, caused it to have to be canceled forever because now it probably costs more to organize and hold the event than the money they make.

If he would've promoted the event and let everyone know he'd be there, fans would have paid to go see him.

He had the time to go to the Super Bowl but he didn't have the time to go to Jersey to support Durrell even though the past 2 years he wasn't busy filming anything by the time the challenge took place.

Honestly, I feel so disappointed that he stopped caring about things that used to be so important to him.

friends, do consider this delightfully eccentric syllabus that i’ve stumbled upon in Steven Moore’s The Novel: An Alternative History (& that was built around the unorthodox masterpiece that is Rabelais’ Gargantua and Pantagruel):

“With the motto "Do What You Will," Rabelais gave himself permission to do anything he damn well pleased with the language and the form of the novel; as a result, every author of an innovative novel mixing literary forms and genres in an extravagant style is indebted to Rabelais, directly or indirectly. Out of his codpiece came Aneau's Alector, Nashe's Unfortunate Traveller, Lopez de Ubeda's Justina, Cervantes' Don Quixote, Beroalde de Verville's Fantastic Tales, Sorel's Francion, Burton's Anatomy, Swift's Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels, Fielding's Tom Jones, Amory's John Buncle, Sterne's Tristram Shandy, the novels of Diderot and maybe Voltaire (a late convert), Smollet's Adventures of an Atom, Hoffmann's Tomcat Murr, Hugo's Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Southey's Doctor, Melville's Moby-Dick, Flaubert's Temptation of Saint Anthony and Bouvard and Pecuchet, Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Frederick Rolfe's ornate novels, Bely's Petersburg, Joyce's Ulysses, Witkiewicz's Insatiability, Barnes's Ryder and Ladies Almanack, Gombrowicz's Polish jokes, Flann O'Brien's Irish farces, Philip Wylie's Finnley Wren, Patchen's tender novels, Burroughs's and Kerouac's mad ones, Nabokov's later works, Schmidt's fiction, the novels of Durrell, Burgess (especially A Clockwork Orange and Earthly Powers), Gaddis and Pynchon, Barth, Coover, Sorrentino, Reed's Mumbo Jumbo, Brossard's later works, the masterpieces of Latin American magic realism (Paradiso, The Autumn of the Patriarch, Three Trapped Tigers, I the Supreme, Avalovara, Terra Nostra, Palinuro of Mexico), the fabulous creations of Severo Sarduy and Reinaldo Arenas, Markson's Springer's Progress, Mano's Take Five, Rios's Larva and otros libros, the novels of Patil West, Tom Robbins, Stanley Elkin, Alexander Theroux, W. M. Spackman, Alasdair Gray, Gaetan Soucy, and Rikki Ducornet ("Lady Rabelais," as one critic called her), Mark Leyner's hyperbolic novels, the writings of Magister Gass, Greer Gilman's folkloric fictions and Roger Boylan's Celtic comedies, Vollmann's voluminous volumes, Wallace's brainy fictions, Siegel's Love in a Dead Language, Danielewski's novels, Jackson's Half Life, Field's Ululu, De La Pava's Naked Singularity, and James McCourt's ongoing Mawrdew Czgowchwz saga.”

(+ it seems that someone has even gone out of their way to combine all of these into a goodreads list, if that’s your cup of tea!)

#* #personally speaking i'm nearly swooning over it #i'm familiar with a fair share of those titles but oh. not all of them. definitely not all of them. #the thrill of literary discovery! #syllabuses

Somehow whether I do or don’t actually write isn’t important — it isn’t, if you like, the whole point about becoming a writer at all, as I used to think.
