Cynthia and Gwyneth Fluff Alphabet

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about each other?)

For Gwyneth, what she finds attractive about Cynthia is her desire to improve the lives of everyone she knows, her warm smiles never fail to brighten up her days when she sees them, her protectiveness of everyone she considers family and most importantly she loves her pure unfiltered kindness

For Cynthia what she finds attractive in Gwyneth is her constant determination to complete any goal that she has set for herself, her gentleness when consoling Cynthia once her nightmares start truly getting to her, her passion about everything she does and most of all how Gwyneth is always there by Cynthia’s side without fail

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

Both Cynthia and Gwyneth absolutely want kids and soon after they get married they start having kids despite their hero career still being a very present presence in their lives. Their daughters is the spark needed for Cynthia’s self worth to become much better and her fire to shut down the Fuego-Jinn Foundation turns into an inferno to not let them hurt her daughters

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Gwyneth loves it when Cynthia holds her tightly with all of her arms and runs her fingers through her hair as they sit by the fire enjoying the peace they have in the moment. Cynthia loves being able to curl up with Gwyneth and know that nothing will be able to hurt her when she is with her

D = Dates (What are dates with them?)

Cynthia and Gwyneth prefer nice peaceful dates which usually means picnics at Sentinel Park when there is not much people around which allows them to focus entirely on each other and just enjoy the time together

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world...))

Gwyneth is everything to Cynthia; her world, her anchor, her light in the darkness and the same goes for what Cynthia is to Gwyneth, both of them will destroy anything that hurts the other with barely any hint of mercy for who they are fighting

F = Feeling (When did they know they were in love?)

Cynthia realized that she loved Gwyneth when they were both 16 years old and she noticed Gwyneth kept supporting her through everything she did and tried to make Cynthia realize that her family should not and does not define who she is or what she deserves, it was all of these on top of many little things like Gwyneth always being the first to say happy birthday to her every year or always offering to help when something was frustrating Cynthia

Gwyneth knew she was in love with Cynthia shortly into their sophomore year when Cynthia kept sticking up for her when people in their class tried to put her down for her fixation on flowers and science.Cynthia also made sure Gwyneth knew she could count on her always, no matter what.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Oh definitely, Especially Cynthia after she got her powers but before Gwyneth did was incredibly gentle, barely there caresses, always making sure the other is okay with kisses and holding hands and never forgetting to ask if it’s alright not even once.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

They entwine their fingers tightly together, Gwyneth is always on Cynthia’s left side when they hold hands which is a subconscious act to protect the side where Cynthia was impaled by Fracture.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

They first met when they were three years old and their first impression of each other was rather simple as expected, Gwyneth thought Cynthia looked like she would be cool to have as a friend and Cynthia liked how Gwyneth wanted to help care for the flowers at the preschool and thought she was very nice because of it.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Neither of them get jealous, they both know the other loves them truly and unconditionally and would never betray them by actually accepting any romantic advances by other people

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

Their kisses are very gentle and incredibly sincere which is very obvious to anyone who gets the privilege of seeing them kiss. Gwyneth is the one who initiated the first kiss when they both aced their final exams of their junior year and out of sheer excitement she grabbed Cynthia’s hands and kissed her suddenly.

L = Love (Who says 'I love you' first?)

Cynthia is the one who says i love you first, She did so when she first asked Gwyneth to be her girlfriend and just info dumped everything she loved about Gwyneth and just would not stop until she was completely out of breath

M = Memory (What's their favourite memory together?)

Cynthia’s favourite memory of them together is when they finally moved in together and they got to decorate the whole house however they wanted which of course resulted in both of them getting paint all over their clothes and going into laughing fits over it.

Gwyneth’s favourite memory of the two is the moment when Cynthia fully trusted her to help her be a hero and told Gwyneth all of the secrets that she was forced to hold back in fear of her getting hurt because of them.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil one another? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Oh absolutely they both spoil the everloving hell out of each other; massages, making each other’s favourite foods all the time, drawing a bath right before the other gets back from work, all that good stuff to spoil your S/O with and they would 100% get anything the other wants without any hesitation at all.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Red and Blue remind Cynthia of Gwyneth because of the red streaks in her hair, her blue eyes and the blue of her hero suit. All of these comfort her when she sees them

Green, purple and gold are the colours which always reminds Gwyneth of Cynthia because of her lime green hair streaks and her gold and purple eyes which very few people in their dimension have ever seen.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Gwyneth calls Cynthia Cynnamon which is obviously a combination of Cinnamon and her name Cynthia which actually came about when Cynthia tried to make Gwyneth’s favourite cake, apple upside down cake and the container of cinnamon wouldn’t shake any cinnamon out so in her infinite wisdom Cynthia raised it above her head and gave it several firm smacks which as expected covered her in cinnamon right as Gwyneth walked into the kitchen Cynthia calls Gwyneth Cariad which is a welsh word meaning love, sweetheart or darling and is the first word Cynthia learned in Welsh when she wanted to impress Gwyneth by learning Welsh

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

Interestingly enough they like to collect old recipe books from decades or centuries before they are born to try and decipher the recipes within and see if they can make them properly

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

They like to cuddle up under a blanket by the fire while having some hot chocolate and eventually falling asleep in each other’s arms until the rain stops. Alternatively Gwyneth will read a book aloud as Cynthia holds her gently

S = Sad (How do they cheer each other up?)

Cynthia cheers up Gwyneth by asking about flower facts until Gwyneth’s mind is off what caused her to be upset in the first place then Cynthia makes hot chocolate for her before talking about random stuff to get Gwyneth to laugh Gwyneth cheers up Cynthia by showing her how the lives of the people she has saved has been improved due to her influence on them and reassuring her about how great she is for the things she does voluntarily.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

They like to talk about what they did at their jobs, Cynthia prefers talking about her fitness instructor job more than her CEO position of Parker Industries, Once the two join The Cluster they also tend to talk about all the members and how despite how different they are from each other they all work together to make sure the dimensional cluster is safe from threats.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

Just being with each other helps them relax, they both have things that never fail to make them panic or be filled with stress and only the other knows exactly how to calm them down quickly when they pop up and make them feel safe again when they are more coherent.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

Gwyneth loves to show off her garden and all the flowers she helped make and you better believe she is so proud of it all. She is also very proud of Cynthia for everyone she has helped with Parker Industries and hero work

Cynthia has a photo album of all the achievements she and Gwyneth have done in their lives and she likes showing it off to people who visit their house to make them learn how great Gwyneth is with a side effect of them learning how great Cynthia is.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

Gwyneth is the one who proposes a month after Cynthia starts therapy with Cheesecake. She proposes at the Flaming Grove, Their friend Nico’s restaurant, when the full moon was at its brightest cause Gwyneth thought it would be nice if she got the moonlight to shine on them when she proposed.

X = Xylophone (What's their song?)

Cynthia and Gwyneth’s song is Protector by City Wolf which while at first you may think is from Gwyneth’s POV it can also be from Cynthia’s POV when Gwyneth also goes through bad times

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Absolutely, while Cynthia’s self-worth is absolutely low, she definitely wants to marry Gwyneth but she is not certain if she even deserves to do so but she will not say no if Gwyneth proposes to her. Gwyneth on the other hand is damn sure she wants to spend the rest of her life with Cynthia and swears that one day she will make Cynthia realize that her past actions or her family have no impact on what she deserves

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Both Cynthia and Gwyneth are very much cat people so would definitely get at least one cat at the first chance they get, the fluffier the better in their eyes to cuddle with at night or close to the fire in winter.

A,E,F,G,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z ;o

Okay *cracks knuckles* let’s go! F, M, and S have already been taken from this list, so feel free to send in... B, C, D, or H, I guess. Yeehaw. This is really fucking long.

A: How did you come up with the title to [TMWCIFTC]? -- It started, as many things do, as a bad pun. The novel The Spy who Came In from the Cold was a cold-war spy thriller, about a British spy who goes over to East Germany as an apparent defect, except he’s actually there to spread misinformation and fuck shit up. He falls in love, becomes disillusioned with his superiors, and is shot dead over the corpse of his lover after climbing over to the east side of the wall. Needless to say, this is nowhere close to what happens in TMWCIFTC. I chose it early on because of the literal meaning: there’s a moth(man), he’s coming in from the cold WV weather, boom shaka laka, we have a title. Over time, though, it’s evolved into another meaning. Indrid himself is coming in from an isolated, lonely existence: he’s rejoining the family that cut ties with him, he’s in love, he’s warm and safe. The moth sure did come in from the cold, and hopefully he stays that way.

E: If you wrote a sequel to [TMWCIFTC], what would it be about? -- Hm. Considering my entire TAZ fic career is a tangled hairball of sequels and prequels, I kind of have this base covered. At the moment, TCOS - aka The Children of Sylvain, the sequel to TMWCIFTC - is about three things: a Pine Guard road trip race against time and the feds, the Spanish Sylvan Inquisition That Nobody Expected (least of all Jake and Hollis, who have to set aside their differences and past conflicts to save Kepler - and who knows, maybe they’ll fall in love along the way), and Alexandra the Interpreter getting woke to Sylvan politics and doing what she can from the inside to change them. In other words, it’s going to be a massive sequel that is the finale of the Amnesty alternate universe I’ve created. It’s this series’ Endgame. (That reminds me, I need an actual title for this collection of stories I’m writing. The “Tin Cinematic Universe” doesn’t quite have the ring to it that I’d like.)

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order? -- eh, it kind of depends. It’s like a buffering bar on Youtube videos. I outline what I can until I run out of ideas, then start writing, then add outlines to the end, until the outline is complete and I just have to keep writing.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? -- I don’t have one for reading, but for writing, I fucking love structuring chapters around songs. Classical or otherwise, I love music. All my stories play in my head like a movie screen, and I just do my best to describe what I’m seeing in my head with an accompanying score. It’s not so much a guilty pleasure as it is a writing process. Frankly, I don’t think I actually have a guilty pleasure; the act of writing itself is all the happiness I need.

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic]. -- An alternate ending for The Devil Went Down To Georgia would be... interesting. It ended with Boyd-as-Jersey-Devil scaring the pants off some poor broke college kid, who stole his worthless fiddle; then he changed back, and he and Ned went on their merry way to go break into Aubrey’s house and send everything down the drain. If there was one thing that I could change in there, it would be how fast Ned ran. If he ran a little faster, he would have seen the alley; he would have witnessed Boyd turning into the Jersey Devil, or at least turning back into himself; and he’d get a very rude awakening as to what Sylvans are and that his partner (in crime, and everything that mattered) was a fucking cryptid. God, that’d be a fun AU to write. Who knows, I might go do that someday.

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with? -- At the moment, the only angsty idea that I’m actually conceptualizing is a Hollis/Jake angsty breakup for TSG. (Spoilers, I guess.) I once wrote a very grimdark ending to TMWCIFTC where everyone fell through the ice and drowned. It wasn’t fun. I’ve also mentally killed off each Amnesty protagonist and NPC in various ways, but I never felt comfortable writing them down. I only write angst with a happy ending because those are the kinds of stories I need to hear.

L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting? -- 9 times out of 10, I just throw it into the void. I write as much as I can in big chunks, and then kind of hope for the best. TMWCIFTC, for example, is a completely unedited, unbetaed vomit draft. I usually do a quick reread of my oneshots to catch grammar and spelling errors, but other than that I just trust myself that it’s fine.

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you? -- Can I get some kind of resolution for To the Edge of Night? Can I please get some kind of resolution for To the Edge of Night??? I was 14 chapters into that bastard before I a) became a more casual MCU fan and b) discovered TAZ. It was such a niche fic with such a niche structure - LOTR as galactic Asgardian propaganda to cover up Odin’s mistakes - that at some point I lost interest in it. I just saw Endgame though, so now I might get some inspiration for stuff to bastardize.

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters? -- Characters. When coming up with character backstories, I can usually find ways to slot their lives together that necessitate a plot. I love character-driven stories, where their actions actually do shit and their words actually mean something, in favor of getting dragged along behind the plot like tin cans behind a car.

P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?) -- I’m definitely an architect, but in a really messy way. My friends can attest that I do an insane amount of planning for each story - often in their DMs, sorry about that, Fae, Cro, Indy and Aline 😬 - and all that usually ends up in a stream-of-consciousness rant outline on Google Drive. Knowing where the story is going helps me a lot, but the planning I do is definitely just building flower beds in which to sow seeds. Or building a greenhouse. I plan the bare bones of a story, and things get really wild within it, but it does follow a logical plot structure.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations? -- I have a lot of respect for the people who can successfully pull it off, but idk if i’d ever want to do one myself. I get really possessive of my stories and ideas and like to be the one in charge of their execution. That being said, some collabs have produced amazing stories. I don’t mind reading collab fics, but actually being in a collab grates on me more than it should.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence? -- I’m definitely influenced heavily by Neil Gaiman. I read American Gods and Good Omens a lot while I was trying to write TMWCIFTC; not only was it a good brain break, but I was able to pick up a lot of tips on scene pacing, concise yet expressive language, and character interactions. My creative wriitng professors have always told us to read so we know what to steal - not in terms of content, but in execution.

On the fanfic side, @miamaroo is a huge inspiration for me. I’ve been reading Northern Migration a lot recently, and I love how its canon divergence is so worldshaking and so complex, but is still familiar in nostalgic yet terrifying ways. I read it back in October, went, “Huh, I wanna do something that wild. And if miamaroo can do it then I sure as fuck can too,” and I started planning TMWCIFTC during that one month dead zone the McElroys took last year. Northern Migration is one of the best, most coherent, most stunning, and most incredibly written TAZ Balance AUs I’ve ever read, and if I hadn’t read it, I wouldn’t have been inspired to take the fuckall huge plunge into TMWCIFTC.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? -- Bed sharing and cuddling, hand kissing, wrist kissing, whump, sympathetic villains. Canon divergent AUs are my absolute favorite things to both read and write. Anything that would turn me into Charlie Kelly slamming his finger on a bulletin board screaming, “CAROL,” is a fic I would give my life for.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand? -- Not a fan of a) woobification and b) flat villain characterization, to the point where the story is riding on villain tropes instead of an actual person or plot. Character nuance is always something I look for when I read. I don’t usually get bitter about tropes, though; some stuff, when subverted, works really well. I fully subscribe to don’t like, don’t read, don’t write, which is why I don’t write anything that warrants AO3 content warning tags or an Explicit rating, in favor of focusing on plot. Every author has a reason for what they write and how - be it their level of experience, personal preference, or simply the joy of writing something and getting it out there - and I respect that. Within reason, of course.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much. --

@miamaroo, for reasons I’ve already discussed. My favorite TAZ Balance author hands down. Read Northern Migration and give it the love it deserves, or I’m replacing all the faucets in your house with silly straws.

@transagentstern. Fae has a bunch of absolutely incredible fics and an amazing grasp on characterization. We come from the same place with AUs, in that canon is but the bare planks on which we put the drywall of our plot an characterization. They structure AUs and character backstories from the ground up in believable and emotionally raw ways. Also they have great music taste. I especially like their interpretation of Indrid in Moth to the Flame; he, like all the other characters in the story, is far from perfect, and his character arc is explored in relatable ways that I love to read.

@keplersheetz. Aline - theneonpineapple on AO3 - researches like a motherfucker and has a wealth of knowledge/experience/viewpoints to draw on, making author-author interactions with her an absolute delight. She’s also doing the lord’s work with rarepairs. Spin a wheel, find a ship, and she’s probably written for it or at least conceptualized it. Reading her character studies and stories of the old Pine Guard - aka Mama’s original crew, before the current PCs joined - is always a delight. I’ve also hashed out a lot of details for The Children of Sylvain, especially for Mr. Boyd Mosche, guilt-wracked Jersey Devil extraordinaire, with her help.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose? -- Not gonna lie, I’m fine with a lot of stuff that’s out there right now. It’s been a hot few months since I’ve actually stopped to read fic, but from what I recall, most of the fics I’ve read have done a good job of keeping things intact.

W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones? -- The vaguer, the better. With really specific prompts, it usually feels as if the story’s been written for me already; with vague, general prompts, I have more agency to explore my own ideas. Some accompanying detail is usually nice, though. For example, the coffee shop/college/flower shop AUs that @transagentstern wrote are my ideal prompt for drabbles: premise, a little bit of open-ended detail, clear explanation of what’s going to happen while leaving the rest up to the imagination. Good stuff. If it’s for a long-form piece, though, I prefer full agency, or even just some time to lie facedown in the dirt and wait for an idea to strike me.

X: A character you enjoy making suffer. -- Yes.

Y: A character you want to protect. -- Tim.

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate? -- I do read lots of major character death, yeah, though not always for TAZ. There’s something cathartic about seeing a character die, but sometimes it sits wrong with me in ways that I don’t like. As for writing, I’d rather kill a character for a reason rather than for shock value/for the Feels, though said Feels can accompany the reason.
