#holsom timeloop

[larkral]

It's me! The person who's just now literally responding to comments from last year's EGF. (I don't know, I can't explain myself. Reading nice things about my writing is my one true joy ™️, and also looking at them for too long burns my face off.)

N.E.Way, I realized that Friday was Groundhog Day and my Holsom timeloop fic is called Friday Prime, and the humor (and waiting on hold during 12+ calls to medical bureaucracy) took hold and I posted Chapter 1. Excited for it to be out in the world.

BUT! Don't take that to mean I won't be posting the first chapter of Simon's mums soon too, because I WILL. I even went through and removed my weird notations of things like <<whatever a barrister does for their first job>> and <<government place>>, so we're getting closer and closer by the day.

Anyway, here's seven sentences (oops) from Simon's mums, which I've tentatively titled finally (already, always). Simon POV

"The Easter bunny?" "I don't think magical creatures are particularly attracted to Christian holidays."  "So no Father Christmas, then?"  "Nope."  "Too bad."  "Simon," Penny says, "You have magic. The Normal myths about magical creatures are just trying to convince kids that magic exists, you know it exists, you can't be disappointed that Father Christmas doesn't exist when you've seen a dragon." 

And another also seven sentences from Friday Prime, aka Holsom Timeloop:

"So, is this like, a thing now?" Lardo asks. "SMH defensive pairs hooking up—Ollie and Wicks, you two…" she looks at Dex and Nursey, who've gravitated towards each other through the course of the exchange. Dex flushes bright red. "Oh, we aren't…" "We could be," Nursey says, as smooth as he's always pretended to be. "I mean, if you want. I'd be down."

I think I'm kicking this off because it's, you know, just midnight, so I'm tagging everyone (below the cut)

Happy Sunday! Come out and play, friends. And if you're not feeling it, have a hug, chocolate truffle, or tall glass of water, to your preference. :) @stitchyqueer @thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @hushed-chorus @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @petedavidsonscock @takitalks @artsyunderstudy @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nausikaaa @nightimedreamersghost @chen-chen-chen-again-chen @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep​ @shrekgogurt @forabeatofadrum  @palimpsessed @fatalfangirl​ @blackberrysummerblog​ @valeffelees @imagineacoolusername @orange-peony @j-nipper-95 @whogaveyoupermission @wellbelesbian @rimeswithpurple @youarenevertooold @emeryhall @mooncello

I don’t wanna be annoying in the op’s notes but @uncleshits YOUR MIND

[ID: Screenshot of a tumblr post by fromjuniper‚ which reads “its not gay if it happened in a timeloop”. Tags by uncleshits read “#holsom fic premise #<<<< OHO???????? #both of them are like ‘oh shit i’m in a time loop. I can do ANYTHING and no one will know once I get out of the loop’ #so obv they hookup (thinking the other doesn’t know about the time loop) but OOPSIE #they’re both in the loop :) and hooked up on the 2nd day. literally as fast as possible” /END ID]

Happy Wednesday! I've been writing! Thanks to @forabeatofadrum @emeryhall @nightimedreamersworld @artsyunderstudy @stitchyqueer @rimeswithpurple for tagging me today!

I've mostly been writing Holsom Timeloop, which I'm hoping to start posting in the next 2-3 weeks. And I've also been writing Simon's two mums, which at some point down the line I will post some of. Maybe I should post the first chapter and motivate myself by way of feedback. What say you?

Anyway, some mums up here, some timeloop and tags below the cut.

Simon POV:

"I just… do you think your mums would like… talk to me? About it? Like, how they knew." "Yeah. Of course. Do you want me to call them?"  "Maybe call, uh, Natalie? I feel like your other mum is too badass to ever have done something as common as realise she liked girls."  I laugh, then take my cell phone out of my pocket and press mum's face on the screen.  It rings.  It's a little bit cold out here. Keris shivers, and I shuck my blazer and hand it over to her.  "Simon, love, what's wrong?" Nothing's ever wrong, but mum especially always answers my calls in a panic—as though I'm calling to ask if it makes sense for me to go off and fight ogres or goblins or numpties. Which, to be fair, I did do a couple of times last year.  I had to fight with them to let me stay at Watford after that. And after the dragon. But nothing really bad has happened since [[redacted]]. There's only been that one time Goblins tried to get over the wall, and the time the worsegers tried to get under the wall. Otherwise it's been just school.  Though, you know, magic school, so it's hard to complain.

Holsom timeloop AKA Friday Prime:

He is in the kitchen, hoodie slung over a chair, two hot cups of Stop & Shop swill and a lottery ticket in front of him on the table.  "That's yours," he says, gesturing towards the second cup. "Coffee's shit, but the ticket's a winner."  "Mega millions?" "You got it. Put that somewhere safe."

Oh, hello. Wednesday, huh? Thanks for the tag @artsyunderstudy !!

SO this week I have been doing MANY THINGS including many fannish things. Including things in several fandoms. Me earlier this year: I truly cannot handle having more than one thing on the go. Me now: Yes, maybe I do have six active writing projects in three different fandoms as well as four podfics on the go. WHAT OF IT!?

I've finished recording all of my podfics, and I'm editing them now and... well, it's hard. One is edited, one is 1/8th edited, and the other two are freefloating audio. But, uh, yeah, here's some audio. Because. I... well, you'll get it.

Yes, I titled this file TENDER because I just, it's... yeah. I'm not totally sure whether I'm allowed to say who/what I'm podficcing... (@caught-on-tape-fest can you advise?) But, anyway, probably someone will get it based on that snippet.

Below the cut: snippets of writing and tags!

Here, also, is a little, silly segment of my OMGCP fic, the Holsom Timeloop, featuring an OC who, let me just say, I gave excellent breasts, and zero flaws. I will accept no critiques:

He bumps into someone as he turns, attempts to keep anyone from falling with one hand in the steadying region of what should be a shoulder but turns out to be a truly exceptional handful of cleavage.  "Shit, I'm so sorry," he says, taking a half-step back and looking at the woman he just groped.  There's a lovely flush on her olive cheeks, and her hair is a cloud of beautiful, wild curls.  Marjorie. She's in his o-chem class and she's cute. She's been cute all semester. And smart. And funny. Though her typical cozy-sweater-and-jeans look in class does not betray how truly magnificent her tits are. They're propped up by some kind of bra magic in defiance of gravity, and barely contained by the blue-green fabric of her shirt.  She laughs. "You're forgiven. Though by the transitive property, you definitely owe me a drink."

I also wrote another couple hundred words on my @carryon-reverse-bang beach fic, of which these are some:

The moon is rising and the tide is coming in. "D'you know," he says. "Even if there were no moon, we'd still have tides?" I hum. I look over at him. His silhouette is blurred by the rays of the setting sun, lighting him up from behind like an unearthly being.

Late, but here I am! Technically still Wednesday for another 30 minutes. I've been writing a bit this week!!! So fucking exciting. Not as much time to write as I'd like, but them's the breaks.

Mostly I've been working on Simon's two mums, so I'm going to give y'all a snippet of that, but you're also going to get a snippet of my other baby: holsom time loop, because I came back to reread it this week and also spent some time thinking about what I need to write next, and I kind of have a plan for what's next for both of those fics which makes my lack of writing time even worse!

Simon's mums, Simon pov:

"What about the Tooth Fairy?"

"Real," Penny says, "A Bone-ty hunter with faerie blood. Though he works exclusively with magical families. Baz, did your parents give your teeth to Paul?"

Baz hums, "Still have the ingot he gave me when he took my molars."

I prod at my last baby molar, a little loose but holding on. "Do you think he'd give me anything for mine?"

Baz rolls his eyes. "Yes, but he prefers a full set. And The Mage forbade Paul from the grounds of Watford years ago."

Y'all know what line of canon I'm referring to here, I'm sure. What a joy it is to write this story!

Holsom timeline time loop below the cut for SPICE

When Justin's breathing is even again, Adam asks, "Wanna… lay down?"

"Bro, I want to blow you." He snorts. "Do I want to lay down."

"We have options, Rans, the night is young."

"It's almost midnight."

"So, okay. We have two hours."

"Can we save the options for later, Holtzy? I need your dick down my throat, like, now."

Adam moans and reaches for his fly. "Yeah, okay, can't argue with that."

"Thank you," Justin says,

Thanks to everyone who tagged me today, and please consider this an early tag for Sunday because it is hella late.

Hello my lovelies. It's been...a while! I haven't been writing a lot, but I have been doing a lot of fandom-y things. Thanks so much to @cutestkilla, @wellbelesbian and @forabeatofadrum for tagging me today!!!

I haven't been writing much this week. My Holsom timeloop is in a time out awaiting a re-read and some edits, and Simon's Two Mums has been languishing while I sated the Holsom timeloop brainworms. I'm going to put some smutty timeloop words below the cut. Because, uh, I like them.

I have, however, signed up to podfic a number of fics as part of @caught-on-tape-fest, and I just set up my new mic so that I'm ready to record! I'm excited! I'm nervous! I've chosen 4 fics in a series to record so that I have a chance to work on getting better as I go.

I've also signed up to write two fics for @carryon-reverse-bang, so you'll be seeing more of that soon. Very excited!

Just out of WIP status is a short fic I wrote for @petedavidsonscock in the In Other Lands fandom called Visible at Sea, it's a slightly silly, slightly smutty Sunbrat fic. Anyone who has read IOL is probably familiar with the fact that Elliot's voice is amazingly specific and therefore very hard to write. I feel like I did a pretty good job. Anyway, if you haven't read In Other Lands, wtf are you doing with your life, please go read it. If you have read In Other Lands, go read my fic. :-P

HOLSOM TIMELOOP:

"Wanna… lay down?" "Bro, I want to blow you," he snorts. "Do I want to lay down." "We have options, Rans, the night is young." "It's almost midnight."  "So, okay. We have two hours." "Can we save the options for later, Holtzy? I need your dick down my throat, like, now." Adam moans and reaches for his fly. "Yeah, okay, can't argue with that." "Thank you," Justin says, pulls his shirt over his head, and tosses it on the ground in front of Adam's feet. He pulls Adam's pants down as he kneels.

Friday Prime

"What's happening?" Holster asks. "Friday," Justin smiles back over his shoulder and bops his head to the tune. "Bro, it's Saturday. We had a game and a haus party last night."

Friday, February 19th just can't give it a rest.

Hello! Thanks for the tags @forabeatofadrum , @you-remind-me-of-the-babe , @hushed-chorus , @youarenevertooold , @wellbelesbian , and @blackberrysummerblog , and everyone else who has been tagging me over the past couple of weeks!

Fun fact! I started drafting this for WIPsday and then got buried under work. This describes my whole week.

Anyway, I'm really focused on my Holsom Timeloop at this moment so I will take this chance to again encourage all of you to read Check Please so that I can coerce you into reading this fic when it's ready. I am TRULY unreasonably excited about it. And of course @petedavidsonscock is only encouraging me. :-P Some of that below the cut per usual because I know most of y'all are here for my Simon Snow.

I have also been writing in fits and starts on Simon's Two Mums AU. Finally I understand the meme where someone is letting their old WIP drown in the pool while they toss the new WIP in the air. Sorry Simon's Two Mums, I'll be back with you full-ish time soon.

I also signed up for @carryon-reverse-bang as a writer. So. I'm excited about that. A little anxious. But excited! (Does this count as a collaboration re: my goal of collaborating on something this year? Maybe...)

Some words from Simon's two mums:

"Unfortunately the kind of information you're looking for is taken for granted in every magical text we have in our library. In our world, I would venture. Not much use in a primer on something you can just ask your parents about."

I wonder how different an upbringing he had to mine. In my youth there was no topic I'd have asked my parents about if there were a book available on it.

I make affirmative noises regardless.

Holsom Timeloop, which at this point I should just reveal the title of, since it's set in stone, and is Friday Prime. And here are six sentences!

Justin surfaces from sleep to a hand on his back and Holster's voice.

"Hey, bro, mind if I snuggle up?"

"No, man, come on up."

Holster climbs up the ladder and nudges himself into Justin's belly. He's a few inches taller, so he usually takes on big spoon duties, but Justin doesn't mind. With Holster's shoulder under his chin and one of his calves twisting into Justin's, he feels almost more embraced than when he's wrapped up in Holster.

Tagging and Sunday hellos to everyone!! Would love to know what you're up to!! @stitchyqueer @thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @artsyunderstudy @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nightimedreamersghost  @chen-chen-chen-again-chen  @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @shrekgogurt   @palimpsessed @fatalfangirl @valeffelees @imagineacoolusername @orange-peony @j-nipper-95 @whogaveyoupermission @rimeswithpurple

Hello to all you lovelies, and thanks for the tags @orange-peony @artsyunderstudy @forabeatofadrum @confused-bi-queer @nightimedreamersworld @youarenevertooold @fatalfangirl and @j-nipper-95. You're all working on such fun stuff!!

It's been a heck of a week for writing, but my new strategy of "writing on my phone while my children watch movies," has been slightly successful, aided by the fact that air quality has been horrible in my neck of the woods and we can't get outside as much as we'd like.

Anyway, Simon's mum and Malcom continue to converse. Fun times:

Malcolm Grimm purses his lips. "He wants to change everything that can be changed about our society. What better tools than a prophesied child and an existential threat? If he can control the child and tell the story of the threat…" He shrugs, a little, weighty thing. Tossed off as though it's casual, but dragging every implication behind it.

And Holsom time loop also continues along well. But also currently very spoilery. So, here's an old snippet I enjoyed writing. Longer than 6 sentences though.

"The orgy wasn't actually that great," Holster says, barely audible.

"Excuse me?"

"It was just, like, a threesome with other people nearby. Didn't live up to the hype."

"And now, I may never know."

Holster pushes himself up to look in Ransom's eyes. "Bro, if we get out of this, I swear I will throw you another orgy. One you'll remember."

(This exchange! I find myself so fucking delightful.)

#six sentences sunday #snowbaz #carry on #omgcp #holsom #timeloop #holsom timeloop #Simon's two mums #Simon's mums AU #i need to figure out what my tag for this is

[larkral]

Heyo!!! You know that feeling when you're blocked on writing something but you don't realize that's what's happening because you had another brilliant idea and LIFE is happening all around you? Turns out I was actually a bit blocked on the Simon's Mums AU, which is partially why I've been going so hard on Holsom Timeloop. Learned this when I went to write some Simon's Mums yesterday so that I'd have something to show y'all.

Being blocked, for me, looks like this: I have an idea of what happens next and I've tried to write it a half dozen times and nothing is working. The resolution usually comes when the thing that happens next is totally different from what I anticipated. In this case, I was thinking the mums needed to meet Mitali. I have Google mapsed the route between Harrow (where the mums and Simon live) and Hounslow SO MANY TIMES, you cannot even comprehend it, given I have written and deleted one sentence for this section over a dozen times.

Anyway, turns out the mums are going to meet Malcolm. 🤷 Whatever, it's working for me. This is like eleven sentences because I just am, I?

Malcolm Grimm may as well be an eponym. He is sour-faced and stoic as I cross the room to meet him and he doesn't stand to greet me. He asked to meet me at his London club, and it's the kind of regressive place that calls women "Mrs. Husband's Name" and will only forgive me my slacks by virtue of the fact that I have my court collar laid overtop of my oxford.

I don't offer my hand this time. Instead I sit down across from him and reach for my water. I take a sip.

"Ms. Stephenson."

"Mr. Grimm."

He makes a face like he's terribly constipated, like he's smelling something he's disgusted by but has to pretend to enjoy. "I was moved," he says, finally. "By what you said."

Tags and also Holsom time loop under the cut.

Holsom time loop, now coming in at nearly 28k words, i.e. more than twice as long as Simon's Mums AU. Again I cannot overstate how much I LOVE writing this. It is very fun.

Have some sleepy kissing:

Holster descends, lips seeking out Justin's. He doesn't support himself over Justin, just lets the weight of his body press into him, and fuck, it's good—being smaller, being a little bit out of control.

He groans into Holster's mouth and leans up, seeking more contact, more pressure, more of the slide of Adam's tongue against his own.

But Holster is pulling away. Justin feels wanton under his gaze, syrupy and stuck, like he's let too much of the lovey-dovey goop inside of him leak out where his hands are still holding on to Holster's waist.

"You have hella sexy morning eyes, Rans."

Ooh I requested a holsom time loop fic for the omgcp prompt fest!! So happy someone is writing one

Yay! :D

I love these bros and the day that won't let them go.

Hahahaha, oh man, friends. Uh. So. I've been on vacation for what feels like my entire life at this point (11 days). And because I am a bit compulsive, I put everything together to post the conclusion of ADA while I was travelling. I also uninstalled Tumblr for my trip because I know myself (see prior note re: compulsive).

Anyway, listen, I didn't bring my computer on this trip, but I did have a really compelling idea for a fic in the Check Please universe. Which. Okay. So. I'm still noodling on a lot of Carry On ideas, including a variety of Dangerverse spin offs, but this fic idea is the one I wrote some of on my phone during a 9-hour plane ride yesterday, so that's what you're getting.

Speaking of which, though: if you read this and haven't read OMGCP do yourself the favor of going to read it right now. It's a webcomic! It's free and easily chunkable! It's adorable and compelling and gay.

This is a Holsom fic, and it's a time loop...with a twist. 🤷 I have written over 5k words on this literally 100% on my phone and I deeply fear for how much editing will be required.

The click and whir of The Co-captain D-men Reveille spinning its current mix CD into action wakes Justin. It's still dark outside, and when he wakes up before the song starts he can sometimes stop it before it makes a sound. Holster always gives him an especially enthusiastic high-five-hug-back-slap on those days, and it's worth the risk of tripping just for that infectious joy. But the guitar riff is already going by the time he hits the off button, and Holster is already sitting up, legs over the side of the bed.

"Friday?" he asks.

"Friday," Justin says back over his shoulder.

Thanks for tagging me @artsyunderstudy @shrekgogurt @martsonmars @valeffelees @j-nipper-95 ! I'm going to refrain from tagging except for known OMGCP stans @petedavidsonscock and @forabeatofadrum , but uh if you're an OMGCP enjoyer, please alert me and I shall further bifurcate my already thrice-split tags list. 😂🤷😁

Happy Wednesday! Thanks for the tags @leithillustration and @rimeswithpurple! I am floooooooored by all the illustrations people are coming out with this month. Amazing stuff! I can't draw *at all* so the idea of drawing something stunning every day is... yeah, you're all deities.

What have I been up to? A variety of things. Some more work on my Holsom timeloop, some work on my In Other Lands story, recently finished a first draft of mechanic!Simon, and started on my second CORB piece as well. But nothing is getting that much attention because I've been focusing on doing life stuff. (My dog had dental surgery yesterday. It was a time.)

Here is the entire text of one of my CORB pieces so far. I have a sense of where this is going, but it's taking a while to get there.

The sky is pink-orange, rippling with clouds. Simon is sitting in front of me, legs stretched toward the water.  I reach down to put my hand on his shoulder. He's warm, sun-soaked and soft. He reaches back to thread his fingers between mine, and tugs me down to sit next to him. 

And this is from the In Other Lands fic I'm writing:

Elliot slung an arm around Golden's shoulder. Golden had gotten more relaxed as he told the stories, and was at this point the most casual in posture and expression that Elliot had ever seen in an elven gentleman. "You truly are a precious jewel, Golden-Hair-Scented-Like-Summer. Serene has said as much, but I found it hard to believe she'd found someone who truly deserved her until this very moment." Golden leaned his head forward enough to allow a few tendrils of his hair fall into his face, a gesture Elliot was learning to understood meant I am demuring from this compliment, but which also gave Golden a convenient visual shield for any expression of pride that might sully his reputation.
