20 Questions for fic writers

Tagged by @mrsd-writes (so sorry for the delay, but better late than never I guess 🤣)

Tagging... hmm... @shadoedseptmbr @miniature-space-hamster @teamdilf @korblez and @cr-noble-writes (if you guys want to take part and/or haven't already been tagged lol

197, which is... uh... well that sure is a number. Heck.

2. What’s your total A03 word count?

221,553

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I'm not active in most of them lol. The first four are current fandoms, the rest I've dipped my toes into once upon a time lol

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

See, this isn't really... I think this should be taken with a pinch of salt, to be honest, because my top 5 were lucky hits - they were posted while the fandoms were still fresh and hot, y'know?

1st

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" (6112 words) by Wrathofscribbles Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Lucifer (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Chloe Decker/Lucifer Morningstar Characters: Chloe Decker, Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV) Additional Tags: Self-Harm, Angst, Hurt/Comfort Summary: It's a simple question, really, it is. And the answer should be simple, a bark of laughter and an easy "no". But when the devil never lies, how is he supposed to answer?

2nd

Here there be wings (2884 words) by Wrathofscribbles Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Lucifer (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Chloe Decker/Lucifer Morningstar Characters: Chloe Decker, Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV) Additional Tags: Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV) Wing Reveal, Crack, with a dash of fluff Summary: He did have a plan. That plan did not involve wings. And yet here they are. And there Chloe is. "Cat" out of the bag, indeed.

3rd

Hold (642 words) by Wrathofscribbles Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Connor/Markus (Detroit: Become Human) Characters: Connor (Detroit: Become Human), Markus (Detroit: Become Human) Series: Part 1 of Minor details Summary: They belong to a killer, they belong to a saviour.

These behaviours often include ritualised movement ("dances"), vocalisations, mechanical sound production, or displays of beauty, strength, or agonistic ability."

5th

If only Geralt knew the half of it.

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

I do! I've been making a conscious effort of late to respond to comments, even if it's a simple heart or thank you. I still feel silly keeping it short and simple like that, but I've turned a corner with how I regard my writing and sharing it over the past year, so. I figure it doesn't hurt to ping out a wee acknowledgement of the comments, y'know? Granted, if it means someone's gonna get x5 thank yous from me then I might just stick to the one response lol.

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

Oh god I don't know. It's been so long since I've looked at some of my stuff and I'm not gonna go through all 197 fics rip. The most recent angsty ending is this one, since, y'know, major character death whacks you over the head from the very start of the game rip (I'm still wounded over that btw. I don't think I'll ever recover)

No rest… (321 words) by Wrathofscribbles Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, Gotham Knights (Video Game 2022) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Characters: Dick Grayson Additional Tags: Hurt No Comfort, Grief/Mourning Summary: … for the wicked, nor for those fighting them.

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

Off the top of my head, this one from back in my FFXV days.

Leave a message after the tone (860 words) by Wrathofscribbles Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Final Fantasy XV Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Prompto Argentum/Noctis Lucis Caelum Characters: Prompto Argentum, Noctis Lucis Caelum Summary: He never deleted the voicemails when he received them. Maybe he knew not to, even back then.

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

Surpisingly enough, no. I don't know whether that's luck, or that I've somehow managed to stick within safe writing territories, or I'm not a big enough name (thank god) to catch much attention. Regardless, if there's to be any hate life is too goddamn short and that shit's gonna get deleted.

9. Do you write smut?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees. I just never post it 😅

10. Do you write crossovers?

Very rarely. I tend to lose steam with 'em fairly quickly, though, so. Unless it's an idea that takes over my entire soul, it probably ain't gonna happen these days.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, no.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I'm aware of, nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Nope. I've worked alongside an artist during a fandom exchange, and during my FFXV days I wound up writing a fair few things inspired by artist works and gifting to them, but actually co-writing? Nada.

14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?

HAH. Listen, I sail ships across multiple fandoms I can't just pick one.

Shepard/Kaidan (Mass Effect)

Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne (Batman/Superman)

Fenris/Hawke (Dragon Age II)

Astarion/Tav (BG3)

Zagreus/Thanatos (Hades)

Vincent/Chaos (FFVII)

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

THIS ONE. THIS ONE THIS ONE THIS ONE. The ideas are THERE. The barebones plot is there. AN IMPORTANT THING HAPPENS in this fic that features THROUGHOUT THEIR SERIES and I can't INCLUDE it elsewhere yet until THIS IS FINISHED. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. I might actually have to rewrite it - I'm positive there's something in the current chapters that's tripping me up and ugh.

Sunlight… (4716 words) by WrathBites Chapters: 2/4 Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Kaidan Alenko, Male Shepard (Mass Effect) Additional Tags: Pre-Relationship, Friendship, Returning Home, Alternate Universe - Vampire Series: Part 12 of Sunlight and Stardust Summary: In which Shepard returns home, with a mandatory plus one.

16. What’s your writing strengths?

Dialogue and describing magic, hands down. That's my jam, love it, could do it all day.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

Writing anything but the dialogue in a given scene and setting the scene so readers know where the fuck characters are and their positioning to one another.

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

Eh. You won't catch me doing much of it on my end since there's a 98% chance I'll be butchering the language. The only exception is a smattering of Gaelic, since I'm on/off learning that (hi, Scottish, and you'd be surprised how many schools don't teach a single word of our native language :D it's great fun :D it's totally okay :D )

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Final Fantasy VII, but the first work posted to AO3 is for Detroit: Become Human

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven" (Lucifer, linked further up). I was a woman possessed with that fic, 6,112 words written in one sitting (has never happened before or since, let me tell you) because. It just.

Listen okay if you've seen Lucifer (absolutely would recommend the first two seasons, my faves) there's just. He's hurting. He's struggling. And the subject matter I touch on in the fic is just glossed over in the show (it feels like it anyway) and it didn't sit right with me at all and man how I wished I could reach through that screen and give Lucifer a hug (not that he'd appreciate the gesture but still).

I wanted to shake everyone around him and scream for them to open their eyes and see. And so the fic was born. Pretty sure I stayed up until crazy o'clock writing it because I had to, it needed put into writing dammit.

#to meme or not to meme #sticking under a read more because it's kinda lengthy for the dash lol

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Tagged by @kiaxet

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

210, but about 110 of those have been copied over from my old FFN account (almost all of the One Piece fics, basically).

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

709,457

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently I'm mostly only writing for Rise of the TMNT, but I have written a lot for One Piece and Free!, as well as Twisted Wonderland, Persona 5, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, FFXV, KnB, and others.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good (ROTTMNT) 2. Tight Fit (FFXV) 3. Tapping Out (ROTTMNT) 4. Lab Accident (ROTTMNT) 5. Things Overheard (Hiding Under the Bed of the King of Athens) (Hades)

5. Do you respond to comments?

No |'D I don't know why but it just gives me anxiety so I don't. I do appreciate the comments, I'm just bad at responding. I'm sorry!

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

Probably this old fic where Sanji just dies in the end, but I think I have fics that are angstier in the middle even if they end better. For something that's not just the character dying, probably Herbal Tea (ROTTMNT), or maybe Failures and Heroes (You and Me) (ROTTMNT)

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

Most of my fics have happy endings so this is hard! Probably a tie between Tight Fit and IMBI, since those have their central characters going through pure hell but getting all kinds of love in the end (including romantic love in Prompto's case).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Once. This is the hazard of writing AkeShu (P5) lmao.

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

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY I sure do. I write all kinds of smut, including a few gross kinks most people put in their hard nos. If you're poking around in my full fic list proceed with caution. Lately since I've been writing so much ROTTMNT I haven't been writing smut, though, since I'm more into the canon for the fluff and family feels. The last smut fic I wrote was The Appearance of Impropriety (FE3H), which is a Dimitri/Edelgard/Hubert threesome. And before that, it was a TWST AzuJami fic that, well, took advantage of Azul's octopus anatomy, if you get what I'm sayin'.

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

I haven't really written fandom crossovers since I was a teenager and tbh I don't remember much about them, I think they were more crackfics than anything serious. I have written several AUs that use other fandoms, though. Probably the weirdest one I've actually written is a Free! RinRei Dragon Age AU, where Rin is a templar and Rei is a mage (the forbidden love of it all). I also have waaaay too many ideas in my head for an ROTTMNT FFX AU where Mikey is a summoner.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I remember back in my FFN days I would occasionally search up my fics and find them c/ped to random clickbait sites, probably as a bot scrapping operation. But to my knowledge I've never actually had anyone take one of my fics and claim it as theirs. Even that bot reposting still had my username attached lol

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yep! The fabulous @e-turn has translated several of my ROTTMNT fics into Russian! I've had other requests before, too, but I'm not sure how far those went. If anyone does want to translate my works, feel free! Just be sure you're crediting me, and if it's going on AO3 be sure to link the original!

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

I have done some co-writing and some fic round robin events but none of them ever got to the point where they actually got published, because someone would flake out or we would just lose steam. I might be up for it, if it were a project we were both really invested in, but I'd probably have to be friends with the co-writer first.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

MMM this is hard... probably RinRei from Free! I've never felt quite as intensely about a ship as I did that one.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hold On To Me (KnB); I love it but I am so far out of KnB fandom at this point haha.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Character voice, I think; it's what I usually get compliments on and what I feel the best writing. In a way, fanfiction (and fandom RP) has really helped me think about characterization. Something I was certainly guilty of in my younger days (and that a lot of amateur writers are guilty of) was having my characters act as vehicles for plot, doing or saying whatever I needed them to in the moment to move the plot where it needed to go. This meant none of my characters had any kind of consistent characterization and all of them were samey. We joke about "he wouldn't fucking say that," but in a funny way this kind of thinking really got me to think about characterization and character agency. Before I would say, "we need to get from point A to point B, so let's do that." After trying to get into the groove of writing already strongly characterized characters, and please an audience with certain expectations, I found myself thinking really hard about what would motivate a character from point A to point B, and if the circumstances I'd set up weren't enough to cause that, I'd need to tweak them, or better yet, explore what I think the character WOULD actually do in that scenario (which may be more fun anyway). This is a skill I think fanfiction is great for helping new writers develop.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I wish I had stronger word choice at times, and had stronger imagery. I'll read lines in other people's work that just blow me away haha. I could never write so poetically, I think.

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

If you are good at a language, or have someone fluent helping you out, then go for it. There's no reason any work needs to be written in only one language. I'm not a purist on this. That said I also think writing "he said in Spanish" or something like that is fine. If it serves your purposes better for your fic to all be in one language, or you aren't confident enough to write in a different language, then you can just make it clear to your audience that a different language is being spoken now. Especially because I come from a lot of anime fandoms, I'm used to there being a sort of unspoken understanding that the characters are not speaking English and what we're getting is just the English approximation/localization of what they're saying. So this doesn't bother me. And of course, throwing in random Japanese exclamations in an otherwise English language fic always comes off a bit campy. I do think it's fine for things like terms of address and nicknames, though. I've never really gotten the hubbub over not having honorifics like "-san" or "-chan" in fics because the same people who usually hate that are also fine with "Señor" or "Mademoiselle" in writing and, like, what's the difference? Idk if any of what I said answers the question. My thoughts are that it's variable, ig.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically it was for the book Alas, Babylon, and it was a class assignment in 9th grade English.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Ah this is hard... IMBI is my longest fic and I'm really proud of how it turned out, but I think I'll always have a soft spot for I Keep on Hopin' (We'll Eat Cake by the Ocean) (TWST) - warning that this fic is NSFW and has explicit smut.

Idk who to tag. @aria-faye @unpredictable-probabilities @daboyau ? Anyone else who wants to do it feel free!

Oaths and Hearts - 21 (Ignis Scientia/Reader)

You fell through a rift into the fade fighting the demons you swore to protect your world from. When you popped out you were no longer in the lands of Ferelden instead trapped in Insomnia. The gracious king allowed you to say recognizing power when he saw it. One thing led to another and now you were part of the procession of the prince to his wedding years later. Before the final battle, after years of fighting, losses, and love…your friend…your king…Noctis has asked you to change it all…

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 Part 18 Part 19 Part 20

“Now this bracelet…”

“It stays.” Ignis looked at the shock on the tailors face as he began to explain how it would simply clash, “I’m afraid everyone will have to adjust. I will not take it off under any circumstances.”

“Sir…as it will be your first…” He began again trying to explain.

“I understand what ramifications it holds, but seeing as this is my wife’s custom of marriage,” Ignis stepped off the podium undoing the clasp to the cape on his shoulder, “I will not be taking it off. This is a new world and new order, some things will change…I trust you understand that.”

The tailor agreed taking the cape from him and stepping away. Ignis let out a sigh as he took off the jacket setting gently against a couch as he heard a chuckle. His eyes looked over to Gladio leaning against the wall, “Never a dull moment with the royal tailor.”

“They used to be quite pleasant when I was just a Crownesguard.” Ignis huffed unbuttoning his shirt. He thanked Gladio as he handed him his own clothing, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve come to escort you to your meeting with Noctis.” Gladio raised his hands up in defense, “You know the protocols now, and we’re in a grey area on where everyone is supposed to be.”

Ignis felt his face burn as he pulled on his own shirt buttoning it quickly, “I’m not royalty yet…”

“And yet you are.” Gladio sighed a little, “I know this hasn’t been easy for you…but it was kinda in the cards all along…”

“What do you mean?” He reached for his jacket sliding it on in one motion before tugging down on it and buttoning it.

Gladio followed him out into the hall, “Noctis was the Chosen King…he was meant to eradicate the world of darkness by becoming a sacrifice…afterwards…it was supposed to be up to us…I didn’t forget that…”

“Nor did I…” Ignis looked at him curiously, “Are you saying you would have put my name forward to ascend the throne?”

“It was my thought, yes.” Gladio told him, “I’m not the only one who thinks this either.”

“And why are you telling me this?” Ignis looked forward as something began to swell inside his chest.

“So that you understand,” Gladio put a hand on his shoulder getting him to look at him, “that you have support. The only one who’s doubting your legitimacy is you.”

He wasn’t doubting…no…he knew who he was now all thanks to Regis…

“Your bloody right I have questions…” Ignis glared at him before he looked around seeing a void of darkness, “for starters you can tell me where I am? I’m needed at home…”

“For your son, yes…” Regis smiled a little, “I understand, and I assure you, you are still there and only but a fraction of a fraction of time will have passed when we’re done here. As to where we are, this is a realm for the kings. The place we reside to grant our power to our descendants and those you deem fit to bestow our gift to.”

Ignis turned to him again looking him over. His entire perception of the man before him had changed. He admired him once, and now he was bitterly angry at him, “…why?”

Regis took a deep breath in before letting it out, “My wife and I desperately wanted a child. We wanted a family together, but every time nothing come of it. As a husband I felt like a failure…and as a husband I could remain so, but as a king it was my duty to produce an heir.”

“Is that all I am then…a product of duty?” Ignis could feel the venom in his words and see that they hurt the man before him.

“For me…yes.” Regis frowned looking down, “It was easier to part from you, if I kept our relationship that way. You were…our kingdom’s future. Then a miracle happened…and Noctis came to be…that never erased who you are though, Ignis.”

“You’ll forgive me…I’m having a hard time accepting all of this.” Ignis shook his head, “Knowing now…it-it changes everything…all our conversations, all the instances you showed interest in me…”

Regis frowned looking away, “All times…that I cherished, but your father made it abundantly clear to me the day we found out about Noctis, that I would not be able to form a relationship with you. Not in the normal sense…”

Ignis looked at him as he went on, “Roderick, was such a good man. A true noble if there ever was one…He took the assignment with grace…but when we no longer had a need…he became a father, a true protective man who never wanted harm to come to his son. He looked me dead in the eyes and spoke with true conviction, ‘He is my son and if any harm befalls him because your royal politics…I will be there to swing the axe at your neck.’”

Ignis blinked surprised that his father would be so bold, “He threatened you?”

“Yes…you have to understand, at that point I was a threat to his family. Any man would do the same.” Regis smiled sadly hanging his head a little, “When he passed…there was this moment I had a chance claim you…raise you as mine, but it didn’t seem right…by that time you were a Scientia. Just as today, you are a Scientia.”

Ignis felt a spark inside him light up at those words, “Your majesty…”

Regis chuckled a little, “Ignis…I don’t expect you to recognize me as your father…but we’re far past formalities at least…”

“…I suppose we are…” Ignis swallowed, “I don’t know where to begin…”

“We have the time…” Regis stepped toward him placing his hands on his arms, “For now…begin with the power that has been inside you this entire time. You have always been exceptional, and I have no doubt with some guidance from Noctis that you will master it…”

He was a Scientia and that is how he would rule this country. He could feel the weight of the ring in his pocket. He hadn’t told anyone about it yet, not even you. How could he? What would he even say, your son showed up from the future wearing the Ring of Luci, I took it from him after he died in my arms?

Yes…that would go over like a lead balloon.

He thought about telling Noctis but decided against it. Noct still desired to rule but knew there could be no division. He was putting the safety of the nation above his wants and desires. For that Ignis respected him more than he had before.

“I appreciate that…I do.” Ignis let out a sigh, “I hope I can amount to everyone’s expectations.”

“You have already far succeeded them.” Gladio smiled at him giving him a pat on the back, “Master the power of kings and you’ll be perfect.”

“Ah yes…that one thing that seems to be in the way of it all.” Ignis turned down the hall leading to the training rooms, “…perhaps you should stay this time…”

“You saying our king is not a good teacher?” Gladio smirked crossing his arms.

“It’s not so much that as…he doesn’t know how to adapt his teaching style to my learning methods…” Ignis’ brow came together in frustration.

“Iggy…” Gladio sighed a little, “You’re not going to learn this from a book.”

“Then mastering it is…” He took in a deep heavy breath, “going to be harder than everyone wants it to be…”

And it was, simple things that should feel natural felt so far from it.

He growled slamming his hand in to the mat, “Ah!”

“Ignis…it’s okay.” Noctis frowned stepping over to him, “It took me a long time to master all of this.”

“I don’t have the luxury of time like you did.” Ignis moved to a sitting position.

Noct sat down next to him letting his arms hang off his knees, “It seems like you’re not…here.”

“What?” Ignis looked at him confused.

Noct chewed the inside of his cheek for a second before he looked at him, “When I first started my training…I didn’t want to do it. I had better things I wanted to do, like play outside or video games. So...I couldn’t get through my lessons here because I couldn’t complete the objective…and it seems like you’re going through the same thing.”

Ignis smiled a little before looking away, “You have become very wise this past year…”

“I’m right aren’t I?” Noct smiled a little at him, “What’s up?”

Ignis shook his head, “I…I’m not sure if I can talk about it…”

“Come on…” Ignis looked at him when he nudged him with his elbow, “I’m your baby brother…you can tell me anything.”

Ignis smiled at him. He’d always thought of Noctis like a brother. He was always there taking care of him, covering for him, taking him places, and Ignis appreciated that not much has changed since they both found out the truth. Taking a deep breath in he slowly reached into his pocket pulling out the ring.

Noctis blinked a few times before holding up his hand looking at the ring on his finger, “Uh…I’m not making the connection…”

“Then let me explain…” Ignis frowned a little and informed him of everything that had transpired a few weeks ago, “After all that…and talking with Regis…I made the decision that I had to take my position as king…”

“Wow…” Noctis frowned looking away for a moment, “damn…”

“I have to figure this out, Noct. I have to save my family…my son.” Ignis looked at him, “So whatever advice you have …I’m listening.”

Noctis sat there for a long time before standing up, “You need to focus on a moment…that means everything to you. Let that push you…let it anchor you to the crystal and then let the power flow through you…”

Ignis stood up brushing his pants off, “What’s your anchor?”

Noctis stared at him before he blushed a little scratching the back of his head, “Uh…well…I don’t remember what it used to be but now…now it’s…it’s you guys.”

“Us?” Ignis felt his eyes widened surprised.

“Yeah, when I think of you guys…I just…I don’t know.” Noctis smiled, “I just think of everything we’ve been through and how much I want to see all of you through it all.”

Ignis was touched. Noctis had truly become the king they needed. It started to get him thinking…

“Ignis?” He looked at Noct, “You got that look in your eye like you found a new recipe…what’s going on?”

He smiled placing a hand on his shoulder, “Nothing that’s important now…I need to think on it, but you’ve given me an idea…”

You looked over from the couch as the door opened late that night. You smiled seeing Ignis walking inside, “There you are.”

“I’m sorry…” He sighed setting his bag down and taking off his shoes, “I know I said I would be home early today…”

You stood up walking over to him helping him with his jacket, “It’s alright, I know you have a lot going on…”

He turned to you as you hung up his coat on the rack, “You’re far too understanding.”

“Well…I mean I’m not happy about it but…” You shrugged a little turning to back to him, “not much I can do either. So I will remain the supportive wife at home.”

He sighed taking your face into his hands before he kissed you, “I miss being home with you already…”

“Yeah…me too.” You leaned into the hand that began caressing your cheek, “I do know what it’s like though…which is why I’m trying very hard to be understanding…but it would be nice to see you at some point…”

“I’m here now.” He leaned his forehead against yours shutting his eyes.

“But you’re exhausted.” You smiled placing your hands over his, “And you need to be rested to preform your duties…you’re only going to get busier…”

“All the more reason…” He let his one arm slither down around your waist, “to used my time with you more wisely…”

“Your majesty…are you trying to seduce me?” You giggled watching his eyes snap open, “I’m sorry…I couldn’t resist…”

“Uh huh…” He smirked a little before drawing your face in for a kiss. Fire rushed through his veins as he scooped you up. The delightful noise of surprise only stroked the fire making it burn hotter.

He merely thought of bedroom and when he opened his eyes they were there. Falling deeper into the moment he gave it little thought sinking down onto the bed as your fingers raked through his hair. His hands moved your shirt up allowing his fingers the privilege to touch your delicate skin.

You helped him drawing it up and over your head, and while you were in the vulnerable position, he planted his face against your breast. First just taking a deep breath of your scent allowing it to wash over him sending him further down the hole of euphoria. Secondly, he wanted to feel your heartbeat.

He found peace shutting his eyes listening to the thrumming of your heart and the feeling of your fingers running through his hair. Soon he pulled away looking up to your darkening eyes. He knew that look and he smiled ready to give you everything you wanted.

It was the same look you gave him the first time. The same time you told him everything you needed was right in front you in him. For all the problems they were dealing with then…it seemed simpler then everything they were dealing with presently.

Later his hand clutched yours as he kissed tasty the salty sweetness of your back while his other hand dug tightly into your hip. You collapsed beneath him and he soon followed slowly lowering himself beside you. He swallowed taking in several deep breaths shutting his eyes, “I love you…”

You let out a laugh before he felt you roll over snuggling into his side. He opened his eyes looking down to your flushed face. Your eyes were bright and wild as you spoke, “I love you too.”

“You laughed…” He smirked a little as you shut your eyes exhaustion finally catching up to you.

“I just always find it humorous that you proclaim that every time we finish.” You wrapped around him.

“Would you rather I said nothing?” His arm came to rest around you as he pulled the blankets up around the both of you.

“Heavens no…” You shook your head, “It’s just my bad sense of humor catching up to me…I love that you say it. I especially love it when you rasp it out in the middle of things.”

He felt himself blush, “Well…you make me feel…worthy and I want you to now it…”

“Hm…” You gave him a squeeze shutting your eyes, “You make me feel the same…”

He smiled kissing the top of your head before he shifted a little to stand. You made a noise of protest, “I would like to kiss my son goodnight…I’ll be right back.”

Your eyes cracked open slightly as you smiled, “Give him a kiss for me.”

He leaned back kissing you long enough that he almost started things again. When he pulled away he was sure he head another pout, but he didn’t stop to investigate this time. Quietly he crept across the hall into Ulric’s room.

He looked down at him sleeping soundly in his bed. Reaching down he picked up kissing him before rocking him in a bouncing motion to keep him asleep, “There there…I just wanted to hold you a moment…”

He didn’t fuss much as he sat down in the rocker with him drifting back to sleep. Ignis smiled rocking gently, “I think I figured it out…and it’s all thanks to you.”

Oh. That’s... that’s probably not the kind of “summon” you meant, huh?

C’moooon, you know Dorian would flirt. And this giant freaking god would be like... “Is... is this Very Small mortal... flirting with me??”

Because it’s been on my mind for like a month now, I’m gonna write up a short thing for an AU Ignis. Dragon Age is my sin right now.

Ignis of the Oswick Circle

Ignis is a mage who survived the gruesome atrocities of the Circle Tower in Ferelden.

His family is from Orlais, though he will disclaim any connection to them when he can. He prefers the forests and the culture of the peoples of Ferelden.

At 17 he became a teacher in the Circle of Magi, and was sent to Kinloch Hold, to teach at the Circle Tower. He had extraordinary control as well as mental and magical defenses. His goal was to teach this to other young mages, to guard against such things as possession, or one’s own power going rogue.

He was 23 when the Circle Tower fell into tragedy. He saved as many as he could, guarding the Tranquil and the students from the blood mages and the abominations until help arrived. Ignis was blinded by the claws of an abomination when he flung himself between it and a child mage who froze in his terror of the thing. It was then the Hero of Ferelden saved him and his charges from certain death.

For a time after the fall of the Circle Tower, Ignis sought help of the mages at Ostwick, and then the White Spire of Val Royeaux. His hope was to restore his sight, if not in both eyes, than the one less injured. The conclusion was, the injury was not the only reason for his blindness, the theory being that blood magic or Fade magic was responsible. After that, Ignis stopped seeking a solution, and turned his energy to coping with it, and learning to live and teach in spite of it.

Ignis returned to Ostwick and taught himself to deal with his disability, spending long hours mapping the Circle and its grounds with his hands and counted steps, as well as meditation on his life and his magic and how he could use it to teach himself and others.

Ignis’s capabilities after almost ten years of diligence ensured he nearly never needed assistance in day-to-day life, and his magic afforded him an extra level of awareness he developed over the years. The Mage Rebellion was in full swing when he was nominated for a position on the Senior Enchanter counsel of the Ostwick circle. In spite of that, or because of it, Ignis went out of his way to being a calm voice a reason to all that would listen. When the templars withdrew from Ostwick, Ignis was the first to step forward and speak against joining the fight against the templars.

He was 34 when the Breach and the calamity at the Temple of Sacred Ashes happened and on the verge of becoming a Senior Enchanter. He remained in Ostwick as a firm hand on the reins of the Circle’s shaky calm as the war continued to rage in other parts of Thedas. The First Enchanter and Senior Enchanters were hopeful of the peace summit Divine Justinia called together.

In light of the calamity, Ignis gathered those mages who believed, like him, in peace with the templars, and set out to aid the efforts of the Inquisition in whatever way they could. That mostly consisted of helping the wounded of the Mage-Templar War, and staying out of the way of the fighting itself.

Character OC: Tünde (TUYN-de)

Race: Solhiem

Aspect: Ice

Parentage: Shiva

Eyes: Ice Blue and White

Hair: Red/Auburn

Skin Tone: Pale

Age: 700+

Apparent Age: Late 20’s, early 30’s

Height: 57 Inches (Yes that’s 4 foot 9)

Weight: 86 Pounds.

Solhiem is the name of a place and a race of demi-humans. The race was named after their home, Solhiem, by the human who lived there. As a race there are six sub-races each representing the Astral that created them. These demi-humans were responsible for mediating between the Astrals and humanity, when the Scourgeblight began plaguing the world their resistance to it changed their role to wardens of humanity and Eos. When Solhiem fell many were killed in the Astral War. Of those that survived all but a handful went into Uthenera, The Long Sleep, those that remained active continued to fight the Scourgeblight.

Being resistant to the Scourgeblight as also meant they’d been infected by it. ALL Wardens are infected to some degree but they cannot infect others. This infection has given them the ability to sense Daemons and those infected by Scourgeblight. Also gives them increased resilience to disease. The downside is they are blocked from entering the afterlife. They cannot rejoin the Crystal and thus cannot die only sleep. They can produce offspring and those offspring are not infected, but most Wardens do not have time to kindle romantic encounters. They can be ‘killed’ but their spirits will remain in their bodies and slowly knit themselves back together, depending on the severity of the injury.

The last Lucian king she served (before Regis) was actually Crepera, The Rogue Queen, after her death Tünde went into Uthenera. During which she and Ardyn were lovers, at this point he wasn’t all consumed by rage and hatred, he was close to letting it all go. (Ardyn was also a Warden.) The king was ascended after Crepera ruined that by turning against Tünde and those that followed her here. He slaughtered dozens of civilians, including Ardyn’s children with Tünde, which was the tipping point for him. Tünde went into Uthenera out of grief and Ardyn’s went on a rage filled rampage which left him sealed away for a very long time.

She was woken by war, a group of men had taken refuge in her tomb, (Regis, Weskham, Cid, Clarus and Cor.) They were able to convince her (though it wasn’t that hard) to help them fight the Nif’s, as they did drop a bomb on her resting place. She traveled with them until Cor went into the Tempering grounds, when he returned she slapped him (hard enough to knock him back a step or step) calling him a ‘reckless, foolish boy’. After that she was gone until Regis’s coronation, which she attended offering her services to the crown.

For several more years she treats Cor with cool, bordering on cold, civility as she still hasn’t forgiven him. Long-lived races have long memories: they do not forget grudges, slights or friends. Eventually she does forgive him and their relationship begins to repair. Becoming lovers for many years Tünde once against seeks slumber after fighting the Marilith that nearly killed the young prince. The fight weakened her greatly and the Long Slumber was coming whether she wanted to it or not.

Her resting place was built beneath The Rogue’s statues in the Old Wall in a chamber deep beneath the base, only a few people knew its location: Regis, Clarus, Cor and Cid (whom helped build it). Cor has maintained her resting place since she fell into Uthenera and although she never asked him to wait he has. He will spend one to two nights a week there cleaning and making sure the vermin and plant life don’t take over. She doesn’t wake again until the fall of Insomnia in which the Old Wall is summoned. In ensuing battle and close proximity of Daemon’s forced her to waken.

writer check-in question set

Tagged by @ladykittenfair - many thanks!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

29.

2. What is your total AO3 word count?

114,928. So smol

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

Because of the way I tag, there are some overlaps here in the FFVII department.

Compilation of Final Fantasy VII (18)

Final Fantasy VII (Video Game 1997) (14)

原生之罪 | Original Sin (TV) (3)

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (3)

Sherlock (TV) (2)

Dragon Age: Inquisition (2)

The Avengers (Marvel Movies) (2)

Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII (1)

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (1)

Final Fantasy XV (1)

Including crossovers:

None that I can recall.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Remember Pearl Harbor; Purl Harder Answer Man Judging the Mark Xiao Hong Your Collar So Blue, Blue

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

I do.

I come from a time and a culture that privileges long, drawn-out discussions in the comments area of fics, kind of a ghost of the old LiveJournal way of interacting. I have not always been consistent in responding, but recently I’ve been making efforts to be more assiduous.

I know some folks feel it reflects arrogance on the part of the writer. I’ve also heard people say that it’s inflating the apparent popularity of a fic if you respond to comments. As far as I am concerned, though, comments are about community, not popularity.

I’ve been really lucky to get incredible, thoughtful, interesting comments on my work. All of them are lovely.

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

“Most Known to Few, Some Known to None,” my list-fic about Tseng. “Escapement” is also actually pretty dark.

7. Do you ever write crossovers?

I haven’t yet, but never say never.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No, I haven’t.

I’ve had a few... exasperated responses from readers, and some excellent constructive criticism regarding some of my own inbuilt white nonsense. I’ve been very grateful for all the critical comments I’ve received, but I’ve also been fortunate to have very astute readers.

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

As a separate category? Not really. I guess “Haymaker” starts to slide in that direction, but that’s insinuation, not depiction. “New Junon” is fixing to be the most explicit thing I’m working on, but we’re still talking rated-R.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so. My works are not high-profile, but I guess people are getting pretty brazen about ganking someone else’s work and trying to sell it on Amazon.

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

Not exactly. I used to collaborate on bjd photostories with a friend of mine, back in the aughts. I also worked for a short time with a few other folks on a sprawling, multi-stranded project that included a set of interconnected storylines, but in the end, as more and more people started to participate, I found it more stressful than enjoyable. I think successful writing collaborations are quite rare and very precious.

12. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

My beloved canoe, Tseng X Reno.

I must say, I feel like if I came to VII via the Remake, I would not have seen the potential for this pairing; Tseng is so clearly connected to Rufus in Remake.

My VII work is all rooted in the OG’s pre-rendered backgrounds and the suspended time and silence of the written dialogue. Tseng and Reno came at me out of the pixels; then, in a handful of decades-old pieces by other writers, I saw how they could interact.

Now they anchor an entire ecosystem inside my head.

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Final Fantasy VII, the original game.

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

Not easy to answer. I feel like technically, “Now”, “Xiao Hong”, and “Escapement” might be my best work. But I have a soft spot for “Answer Man,” and probably always will.

15. BONUS QUESTION: Do you have a WIP that haunts you?

I have two unfinished pieces hanging out on AO3, tormenting me. This is a callout post to myself to get cracking and wrap them up.

“Body Work” (for the Original Sin fandom) is having a knife fight with a plot issue right now, that is forcing me to analyze exactly what I’m trying to say in this story.

“New Junon” (Compilation of FFVII) is my beloved problem child. I was a different person in many ways when I first conceived this story; my sensibility has definitely shifted over the years, and the whole damn thing needs re-anchoring and a lot (a lot) of arc work.

I’m coming back for you both. #NO STORIES LEFT BEHIND

I also have MANY OTHER STORIES IN MY BRAIN, so buckle up, FFXV in particular.

Tagging @allsortsoflicorice @razziecat @shutupreno @wandererriha @twocatstailoring @themossstomper @the--calamity @willowcatkinblossom @mementomoryo @bluewindfall @tyramir @thuriweaver @lunarlegend @ltleflrt @jupiterjames @clevermanka @filigranka

Oaths and Hearts - 18 (Ignis Scientia/Reader)

So this is a crossover between FFXV and Dragon Age Inquisition.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17

Ignis yawned as he walked onto the site of construction. He took in a deep breath before raising his coffee up for a drink. His peace was broken by Gladio giving his two cents, “Duel wielding is illegal in some countries.”

Ignis turned giving him an exasperated look, “I know for a fact that duel wielding is completely legal in Insomnia, but I suppose you’re referring to my coffee and thermos.”

“Rough night still?” Gladio looked at him with concern.

“Her contractions are getting more frequent.” Ignis brought the cup up again, “She nearly said it was time last night.”

“She did?” Gladio’s eyes widened before he smiled, “Wow…It’s hard to believe you’re going to be a dad soon.”

“Did it happen? Are we uncles!?” Prompto ran up to him.

“Do you really think he’d be here if Y/N had the baby?” Noctis walked over wearing a safety hat on smirking, “Better get used to sleepless nights buddy.”

“So, I have been reminded daily.” Ignis sighed before setting his thermos on a bench, “Enough about me, where are we in the project?”

“Iggy…” Noct stepped close to him, “we do have a handle on this. You can go and get some rest.”

Ignis smiled at him, “I appreciate the concern, but I am getting enough rest. Y/N assures me we still have a couple of weeks…”

He looked at them all staring at him. Gladio was the first to speak, “Did you…read that in a book?”

“I…no…she just…I trust her.” Ignis set his empty cup down, “She is a woman after all…”

“Ignis, babies aren’t like calendars…” Gladio sighed shaking his head, “I can’t even remember the amount of false alarms my mom and dad had with Iris…and she was early…like three weeks early.”

Ignis stared at him a moment before shaking his head a little, “This is different.”

“You’re delusional!” Prompto rolled his eyes before smiling, “Regardless…I have the camera close by so we can get all the pictures we need when our little man arrives.”

“Our?” Ignis watched him and Gladio walking toward the contractor.

“Yeah…” Noctis smiled at him, “You’re the first of us to have a kid. We’re excited and knowing your baby is a little man…expect many gifts and a spoiled rotten kid. At least for a little while…”

Ignis looked at him, “You are Luna have talked then…”

“More then that.” Noct blushed a little, “She has her duties and I have mine, but…we can’t help wanting more then just our kingdoms and responsibilities.”

“Well…in time, you’ll get your wish.” Ignis put a hand on his shoulder, “You’re both young yet…”

“You say that as if you’re so much older then I am.” Noct laughed as they both walked to catch up with the others.

“In terms of maturity, until recently…” Ignis smirked chuckling as Noct glared at him a little.

The work was hard and honest. Rebuilding took manpower they didn’t have and everyone had begun to wear thin. But hope was in the future.

Luna had convinced Altissia to send aid sooner than later. The boys capture of the crystal had made a significant impact in how the world viewed Insomnia's young king. Not to mention the flocks of Insomnian citizens returning home. Everyone wanted to help.

It was the beginning of a new world view. Status barely mattered, just assisting your fellow man was enough.

Ignis looked up at the bright blue sky wiping is brow. Noctis had decided that rebuilding the hospital and other public venues needed to be priority one. The people rallied behind and progress was good despite the lack of supplies and people.

“Ignis!” The alarmed cry from below Drew is attention away from a flock of flying birds. It was Libertus and Tor running up to the work crews.

“Right here…what’s wrong?” He pushed through the crowd to get to them.

“Its time.” The both told him breathless, “She…Y/N…she’s…”

“What?” Ignis felt his hair practically stand on end as he shook his head, “No…no we’re supposed to have more time…we…”

“Iggy…” He looked at Gladio who stepped up next to him with Prompto, “it’s time…”

“But…nothing’s ready. I was supposed…I…we don’t even have a crib…” Ignis frowned putting a hand to his forehead.

“Hey hey!” Prompto waved his hands at him, “You only have one thing to worry about right now and that’s getting to Y/N and helping her. That’s your job right now.”

Ignis looked at him finding a strange comfort from his words before he nodded, “Right…yes, of course.”

“So, let’s get you there as fast as we can.” Noctis stepped up next to him putting his arm around Ignis’ shoulders, “Hold on.”

Ignis had warped before in short spurts when he and Noct performed maneuvers in battle. Galdio and Prompto both said that it made them sick afterwards. Ignis didn’t find he had that problem until now as his nerves fell into overdrive.

“Breathe Specs.” Noct reminded him as they landed already halfway to their destination.

Ignis looked at him seeing sweat drip down his friend’s face, “Noct, I can manage the rest.”

“Nonsense…” Noct shook his head warping to the next spot taking in a deep breath, “I can get you a bit closer.”

“Noct…” Ignis gently pushed him away toward a bench, “Sit…call Gladio and Prompto to come pick you up…”

As he turned away he heard Noct speak, “You’re gonna be great…just…breathe.”

Ignis looked back at him giving him a sturdy nod before turning back and taking off in a run. Every single step felt like fire began coursing through him. He didn’t know how to be a father…his was taken from him when he was young.

Not that his father hadn’t done well…but he remembered Roderick. His father was kind and gentle, but always seeking the truth and never giving up to find it. Brief images of riding his shoulders through their home, a proud smile, dancing in the kitchen…

He burst into the Citadel rushing to the stairs feeling his legs beginning to burn. As he pushed the door open, he heard a loud wail and he felt his stomach drop. He walked forward pushing through people standing in the hall. Nurses, doctors, patients…

“Y/N…” He heard Dr. Reed speaking, “Y/N you have to calm down…”

“What’s going on?” Ignis pushed forward and a nurse intercepted him as Dr. Reed turned around, “Dr. Reed…”

“Mr. Scientia…” Dr. Reed stepped close to him, “There’s been a…complication…”

“Complication…” Ignis eyes jumped to the open door as something crashed inside and you let out another groan, “Y/N!?”

Dr. Reed put his hands on Ignis’ chest with the nurse, “I can’t let you in there.”

“Ignis…” Your voice sounded weak and scared.

“Get out the way.” Ignis began pushing through them but was held back, “Move!”

“It’s too dangerous!” Dr. Reed raised his voice, “If I let you in there, there is a chance you will not walk out.”

“I don’t care, my wife needs me. Now move.” Ignis voice was low as he glared at the doctor feeling their hands move off him. He adjusted his shirt before stepping into the room.

His eyes widened as the scorch marks on the walls and floor. All the medical equipment was strewn about away from you. You were standing gripping onto the bed railing shaking.

“Y/N…” He began to step forward, but you raised you hand toward him.

“Stay back…” You turned shaking your hair from your sweating face, “…you…you have to leave.”

He stood still staring at you, “Y/N…I will not leave you. Not now…not ever…”

“I-I can’t control it…” You cringed putting you hand to your stomach letting out a painful groan. He took your distracted state to his advantage stepping right over to you. Your eyes opened and you started shaking your head, “No…No Ignis…”

“Shh…” He took your hand tightly in his as his other reached up pushing your hair away from your eyes, “We knew this might happen…”

Your face contorted as tears slipped down your face, “It’s so much worse…it’s so…”

“Shh…” He kissed your forehead, “We’re going to do this together…people with magic have been having babies for thousands of years from your land, you said so yourself.”

You let out another loud guttural groan as contractions came upon you, with it came an uncontrolled spell of chained lighting. It erupted through the floor around them. It was as he expected, his proximity to you protected him from the spell.

“Dr. Reed…” Ignis looked over at the door, “Be ready with everything you need for the baby…we’re doing this alone until we need you…assist with advisements only, do not enter unless I tell you.”

Dr. Reed confirmed as Ignis began turning you toward him have you hold onto his shoulders for support. You hands dug into his shoulders painfully, “I shouldn’t have….done this…mages shouldn’t…there’s too much chaos…I could hurt someone…you…our baby…”

“None of that…you are exactly as you should be…now look at me…” He brushed your hair away from your face, “You’re strong…”

“No…” You shut your eyes hanging your head again.

He lifted your chin looking into your eyes, “Yes. The strongest person I know. You fell through worlds, lost everyone and everything you ever knew, adjusted to an insane new lifestyle…with insane new people.”

“Y/N…you don’t remember but you traveled in time itself to save your family…the one we’re starting here and now…” He pressed his forehead against yours and smiled, “For a daughter we will one day have…so believe me when I say, you can do this.”

“Ignis…ooo….” You balled up his shirt in your hands as another contraction overtook you.

“It’s time.” Dr. Reed spoke from the doorway, “You’re going to have to push…I…I suggest laying down…”

“No…” You shook your head, “No…I…”

“It’s alright…we can stand…” He looked around the room before helping you toward a chair, “Brace yourself on this…I’ll need to be below to catch him.”

You nodded as you took in a deep shuddered breath grabbing onto the chair with one hand, “If…”

“I won’t let it come to that.” He took your other hand pressing it to his lips shutting his eyes. You wanted him to put you under if it came to it. You had researched c-sections, and even Dr. Reed had considered it but felt your concerns weren’t merited.

He could see Dr. Reed was reconsidering his position as he looked back as he reached for some gloves, “Doctor?”

“Ignis, you’ll need to reach up and check her cervix…based on her contractions…I’m positive she’s ready, but to be sure… insert two fingers…” He walked Ignis through what he was and wasn’t supposed to feel. Based on what was described back to him Dr. Reed confirmed full dilation, “The next time you feel a contraction you need to bear down…deep breath…and push…Ignis you’re going to see the head first…and gravity will probably work quickly.”

Ignis looked up at you as begin letting out quick short breaths trying you best to remain in control, “Darling…we do it now…just let go and think of Ulric.”

You nodded as you adjusted as the contraction wracked your body. He saw the immense strain you began to put on yourself as you pushed letting out a warrior’s scream. He could indeed see you taking down hordes of demons and dragons for those you loved in that moment. The moment you were becoming a mother, the joining a league of strongest forces the universe could create. His focus shifted quickly from your face to the small life beginning to join them in this world.

The process repeated. He hardly acknowledged the lights shattering above them as the storm you let loose raged everywhere around them. His heartbeat was so loud as he couldn’t hear his voice as he instructed you for one final push.

Then everything happened so fast…he was holding his crying son in his hands. Tears flooded into his eyes as he spoke, “He’s here…he’s here…”

“He…Ig…Ignis…” You looked back at them both.

Ignis saw your small smile before your legs started to give out. With precision reflexes he was up catching you with his one arm, “Y/N…”

“Go, go!” He heard behind him as he set your tired form into the chair. Nurses and Dr. Reed rushed into the room around them.

One nurse made eye contact with him taking his son from him to be examined. His eyes went back to you as they carefully lifted you to the bed. Dr. Reed confirmed everything had gone well as you began to come back eyes cracking back open when Ulric began to cry.

“…mm…my baby…” You reached up weakly and Ignis took your hand.

“He’s right here…just one more moment.” He whispered moving in to kiss your forehead, “You did so well my love.”

“Here we go…” A smiling nurse came back holding Ulric in a clean blanket as he cried, “meet your momma…”

Tears flooded his Ignis’ eyes again as you were handed him. Instantly his son’s cries disappeared as you pressed your cheek against his head, and the most miraculous sight occurred. A spell he’d only ever seen you use once to save everyone in battle rushed over everyone in the room.

Every nerve that had been set afire calmed in his body as tingling warmth replaced it. He felt energy being restored, as did everyone else who had their anxiety shooting through the roof. A knight’s resurgence…a revival.

You looked up at him as the calm feeling fell over everyone in the room, “Ignis…he’s wonderful…”

“He is…” A nurse handed him some towels to clean up before he leaned back to his family touching and kissing them both, “You both are…”

After sometime everyone shuffled around before taking Ulric back to be put in the nursery to give you time to be tended to. Before you were wheeled away you grabbed his arm, “Don’t leave him…”

There was such fear in your eyes, he could not refuse you. He followed the nurse down the hall looking in the bassinet at his perfect creation. Having no traditional facilities yet, they had converted a small office into the nursery.

“Would you like to hold him again, dad?” The nurse smiled at Ignis as she finished reswaddling him.

“I…” He wasn’t really given the option as she placed the boy back in his arms. He choked up looking at him, “I love you…I love you so much.”

Ulric fussed a little as he brought him up kissing his little hands. Staring at him made all time seem to stop that he didn’t notice three onlookers standing in the doorway until he heard the sound of a shutter. He looked up seeing Prompto snapping photos grinning just as big as the other two.

“How long have you been there?” Ignis walked over to them.

Noctis beamed up at him, “Oh…just fifteen minutes or so…”

“You should have said something.” Ignis bobbed his arms up and down as Ulric began to move a little, “But that’s beside the point…everyone…meet Ulric.”

“Wow…” Gladio whispered reaching over touching Ignis’ arm gently, “You did good.”

“I’ll say…hey little dude!” Prompto whispered, “I’m your Uncle Prompto…and I’m gonna be your favorite!”

“Nah…his uncle the king will be.” Noct nudged the blonde a little getting everyone to chuckle.

“We got him something.” Gladio stepped out into the hall before coming back inside holding a bag.

Ignis watched as the boys smirked at him before pulling out a book, “Oh…well it’s a little early…”

“Well in time he’s gonna want to know about everything…this is just a fun way to do it.” Gladio stepped in opening the book to show Ignis, “It’s yours and Y/N’s story minus some parts, plus others…see…”

Ignis looked at a beautifully illustrated child’s book showing how you met them all including Nyx, but everyone was drawn in a cartoonish way. Gladio flipped through it and it showed you both going on a date in Altissia, then fighting side by side to save Noct all the way leading up to being brought home.

“It’s wonderful…thank you…” He looked at them all before turning to Noctis who had nonstop been staring at the small child in his arms since he walked over, “Would you like to hold him?”

“Oh I…” Noct began to shake his head.

“There is no one I would trust more with son.” Ignis told him gently handing him over, “Support his head…”

Noct looked at Ulric and smiled before looking at Ignis, “So how’s it feel? We heard it was a special type of delivery.”

Ignis sat down looking up at them, “I never anticipated delivering him myself…but I can’t imagine doing it any other way…When I held him…it was…it was like everything inside me began to reset and reform…there’s really no words…except that I love him. I love him and I would do anything for him.”

He lifted his glasses off his face wiping the sudden tears away as the boys crowded around him in support. Everything was finally right in the world. Everything was just as it should be…

fanfic writer tag game

Tagged by @mathclasswarfare. Thanks! :D

What’s your all-time favorite ship? I don’t have an all-time favourite ship that reigns over every fandom, but I do have an OTP within each of my fandoms. My top OTPs from each of my most-written fandoms are Prompto x Noctis (FFXV), Nepeta x Karkat (Homestuck), Nezumi x Shion (No. 6), and Ciara Tabris (female city elf archer) x Zevran Arainai (Dragon Age: Origins). How many works do you have on AO3? 142, although not all of those are fic. A few are translations or collabs.

What’s your total AO3 word count? 839,723 words. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. You Know The Fic - A One Punch Man Saigenos fic which was a remix of a smut fic by Sandywolf. It somehow became insanely popular, with 1,609 kudos.

Saitama rescues a robot who turns out to be a pirated sex-robot. Then it falls in love with him. This is not what he needed in his life. (Or maybe it was.) Disclaimer: This is not your average smut fic. Come for the smut, get hooked by the comedy, stay for the feels. Trust me.

2. Her Own Beloved - A fun Miraculous Ladybug Adriette/Ladynoir reveal fic. Like YKTF, this one definitely got this popular because the fandom is freaking huge. It has 476 kudos, a big step down from YKTF. People did not stay with me after reading that fic.

Marinette has finally achieved her dream of moving in with her boyfriend Adrien Agreste. But something seems fishy in their relationship, and Marinette fears that Adrien could be preparing to break up with her. As usual, her problems have an unconventional solution.

3. Everything To Me - An FFXV Promptis soulmate AU, written for the Book Club Discord’s spring exchange in 2020. I think it got so popular because Mysteriousbean5 illustrated it as a gift for a different exchange. And the premise is a little more basic than some of my other FFXV works, so it has more universal appeal.

“So, I think we’re soulmates,” Noctis said.

4. Apartment-Warming - A One Punch Man Saigenos uh... adult fic. Its popularity is definitely due to riding on the coat-tails of You Know The Fic.

Saitama finally moves out of the Hero Association HQ and goes back to Z-City with Genos. They do some housewarming.

5. Fateswap - My No. 6 magnum opus. Of all the ones on this list, I think this one most deserves to be here.

Nezumi grows up in his village... sort of... while Shion is captured and taken to the Correctional Facility at a young age. How will events play out with the roles reversed? And what will happen to the third option?

Do you reply to comments, why or why not? I aspire to, but I prioritise longer/more meaningful comments, or ones with questions in them. It’s not that I don’t appreciate short comments - I do! I just don’t have much to say back aside from a standard, “Thanks for the comment; glad you enjoyed the fic” and I don’t like being so repetitive.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? What Prompto Gave - In a motel room during the road trip one night, Noctis comes out as gay to Prompto. The problem: the terms of Noctis's marriage contract with Luna prevent him from taking any lovers. Despite believing himself to have no romantic feelings for Noctis, Prompto offers him the chance to experience intimacy with a man - himself.

The ending implies this will be the only time Noctis gets to honour his real sexuality, and also that Prompto might have feelings for Noctis neither of them will ever get to explore. I really wanted to wring out some reader tears with this one, which is very unusual for me.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending? It’s impossible to pick just one. Almost all of my fics have happy endings, and I also write a lot of fix-its. Do you write crossovers? Not really. I will write fics that are inspired by another story, but not a straight up “characters from X world are put into Y world” story.

Have you ever received hate on a fic? No, although I have received some tiresome comments, such as rude grammar commentary. I welcome all comments, but those are the ones that made me roll my eyes.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Unfortunately, yes, lol. It’s always pretty vanilla. I find writing it boring, except as a manifestation of deep intimacy and love. So I guess the kind is “with feelings”.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes. There was a website called ebooks-tree that once upon a time stole some of my Homestuck and No. 6 fics and was selling them to people, even though you can read them for free on AO3 =_=

As you can see, here are my fics Alliances and Ace Crackshot Harleys (now Feathers & Firearms) on their blasted webbed site. Fortunately this site is gone forever now.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes. I translated Eve’s Secret, one of my own No. 6 fics, to French, and my fic The Faithful Servant was translated to French in a trade with @riotbrrrd.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes. One of the No. 6 Discord’s Halloween events in 2018 was a round robin fic which ended up being called A Dark And Stormy Anniversary. I wrote 1/6 of it. I also have co-author credit on cry havok and kick up your heels, a fic that was written by @ninemoons42, but planned and brainstormed by me as well.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Luckily for you all, all of my published WIPs will one day be finished. Forever unfinished ones will never see the light of day. Of those, the one which I think had the most literary potential is a Kaworu x Shinji AU where Kaworu is a normal human boy with a terminal illness, who comes into Shinji’s life for the length of one summer. That could’ve been a real tear-jerker.

What are your writing strengths? I’m good at writing description, and also at designing and world-building AUs. I like to think I’m good at writing fix-its and romance as well.

What are your writing weaknesses? Action/adventure type stuff. I find writing fight scenes boring. I also don’t know how other people do this, but a lot of my characterisation is done on instinct alone, which makes writing distinctive voices for them difficult sometimes. I also don’t like writing long conversations very much.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Well... I’ve done it before. I wrote all of France’s dialogue for my Hetalia France x England fic Harmony And Contrast in French. I would be happy to read more bilingual French & English fics. However, I think doing this alienates monolingual readers, so providing an all-one-language version is essential, which is what I did with Harmony & Contrast. There’s an all-English version bundled on the same posting as the English & French version.

What was the first fandom you wrote for? Homestuck, for which I have 25 works. It was my most prolific fandom until I got into FFXV, which has 38 works.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? Whichever fic I’ve written most recently tends to be my favourite. If I had to absolutely pick one, though, it would probably be Perchance To Wake. The version on AO3 is a wip, but I have the whole thing written already. It’s very personal to me, being about Noctis and Prompto’s journey with their respective chronic illnesses (although set on a backdrop of action, friendship, and romance!). I think it’s really well constructed, if I do say so myself.

I tag @riotbrrrd, @ninemoons42, @revasnaslan, @yuneyn.

No pressure to do the meme, just if you feel like it :)

Writing Tag Game

Tagged by @fiadhaisteach! Thank you very much!

How many works do you have on AO3?

What’s your total word count on AO3?

933966

Do you reply to comments? Why or why not?

As of recently, yes. I used to not because typically I don’t have much to say but *shrugs* I didn’t before mostly because I don’t know how to respond to short-word comments, but I do read every single one and believe me - they are the highlight of my day :D

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

As of right now...? Tie between ‘Changes’, the as-of-yet still unfinished ‘Never Again’ , and ‘It’s Not Lost Until You Give Up’. Three-way tie, mostly because the three are much different from the other.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I think that would be... ‘Five Hundred and Sixty-Seventh’s Time the Charm’, mostly because that ended pretty good. And with a fivesome. I like that pairing.

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the strangest one you’ve written?

Well, that dubious honor goes to the story my sister and I wrote. *facepalms* actually, she wrote it, I just helped with word choice, so I guess that would be the one. ‘Azure Nights’. No, I’m not heaping it onto her and I’m not claiming I wrote all of it - literally, I chose a different word than she originally did and then... well. *shrugs*

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

If I have (which is possible) I literally, honestly can’t remember.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

...not regularly, and I did write smut once. It was slash. I’m fond of the couple I wrote it for, not the quality of smut I wrote for said couple.

It was not good.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I have no clue.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

...no, not yet...

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

With my sister, actually. My couple ‘stories with my sis’ I posted here.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Depends on the day, honestly. Sometimes it’s Solavellan, sometimes it’s ItaNaru, other times it’s Wifi (Solas/Lavellan from Dragon Age, Itachi/Naruto from Naruto (fem!Naruto or otherwise tbh), and Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian from The Untamed...). So I guess those are my current all-time favorite ships!

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

Possibly my ‘Angelic Dilemmas’ series. I mean, I may go back and delete them, but I may just... not finish them. I was trying to do this whole ‘epic fandom mash’, and then it changed when I saw ‘The Host’, and turned weird. I don’t know if I’m going to return to it? I mean, I hope so.

What are your writing strengths?

Getting ideas for a plot. Like, I get one idea and a thousand more come out.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Editing, dialogue, and my impatience to get along with the plot.

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

I would do it, so long as there was a possible background for it. Like in DAI, I could ‘reasonably’ match some languages with irl languages. I don’t typically do that mostly because I would literally get into the language and get distracted with learning a few words.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

...I have no clue. I think it may have been PJO and Transformers? I was all about the fandom crossovers when I started.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

...something that I haven’t posted yet, actually. It’s a FFXV fic.

Though to be honest, it’s between that and my two series of DAI. :D

tagging @elements1999, @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon and anyone else who wants to do it~
