I would love to ask you a million of these but I’ll settle for three (if you feel like answering them, of course)! 🥤 🧃🎨

Thanks for participating!!! 💛

Ahh you are so sweet, thank you so much!! 😘💜💜

[Writer's Truth or Dare Ask Game] 🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

There are SO many massively talented writers out there, many of which are still on my ever-growing to-read list. I wanna send some love to @littlejuicebox's multichapter fic, Midwinter Carol, which I'm about halfway through and absolutely loving so far!

It has: Ascended Astarion! Pining for someone who's right in front of you! Divorced yearning! Beautiful, poetic prose! Just absolutely *chef's kiss* Astarion characterization! Such a compelling protagonist in Eirianwen. Girl has got backbone and I'm excited to get to know her more and see how she complements and challenges our boy. And just a the perfect balance of angst and flirty hopefulness.

The actual fic summary (below) is much better than mine. You can read the fic on AO3 or Tumblr:

Fifteen years after the Ascendant and his lover went their separate ways, they run into one another at Wyll Ravengard’s Midwinter Gala. One dance is all they share. A week later, a cataclysm of events, spurned by Eirianwen’s return, uproots the life Astarion had been building for himself. One thing is made certain: the elven sorceress is the key to any ounce of salvation he may have left, if only she stops slipping through his fingers like sand from an hourglass. But old habits die hard, and old feelings are pulled to the surface for both the elves. Astarion is forced to confront the wounds of his past and deal with the damage he's done while trying to run from himself. The Ascendant is forced to decide whether he will continue on his current path or forge a new one... perhaps one that leads him back to the love of his life.

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before

Hmm, I think I maybe talked about this on Twitter once, but not here. Well, I'm now pretty firmly in the agnostic (if not atheist) camp, but my parents pushed me to get confirmed as a kid (we were Lutheran). And I went to a church where, part of the youth group program was performing a traveling mime show of the passion story. Like, full on face-paint, black turtlenecks, miming Jesus getting crucified. There was a super eerie soundtrack and narration that went with it. Lots of drama over whether any of the girls could try-out for the Jesus role. Whipping sound effects. Absolutely no disrespect to anyone finding religious insight through art and whatnot. It just feels a little weird and uncomfy to me personally in retrospect. But then, religion really isn't for me. Most of the other confirmation programs I heard about my classmates doing had like, community service projects instead.

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

My first commissioned piece of Astarion and my main Tav (Naomi) was just finished tonight and I'm riding a cloud about it. They're so soft with each other and the artist did such a lovely job 🥹

There is SO much incredible BG3 and Astarion art out there. This piece really stands out to me, too. I just love how they captured Astarion's tender expression here, and how lovely he looks in this lighting:

OMG! ignore my last message. curiosity took over for me and I read the first chapter of your naruino fanfic and it was HOT.

Hi nonny,

Thanks for stopping by twice! 💕 And also for reading my fic, I'm glad you enjoyed what you read! 😄

I don't think many people here know that I have an on going NaruIno fic on ao3, but in case anyone is interested, it's called Loud Affairs and it has a tiny dash of SasuSaku in the background:

Loud Affairs By: TheRedConverseGirl They were supposed to be working together - scheming and planning - not doing this; getting naked in the middle of the forest, learning techniques that won't help them save anyone's lives. Still, Ino doesn't seem able to stop it, and soon they are both entangled in something they’ve never expected. [Rated E, on going] *NaruIno

I think I should answer your question though, just to give some insight why I like to add NaruIno in my fics and how it started.

The first ask:

I don't mean this in a mean way, but why do you and a lot of other sasusaku ff writers like naruino?😅 the ship is kinda random to me but I more often than not see them paired together in various sasusaku fanfics. (I mean I get their best friends with sasuke and sakura but I just don't feel there's any chemistry between the two). It usually throws me off a bit bc of the immense amount of hate other crack ships like sasuhina get from our fandom.

I don't know about other writers, but my interest really started with a thread on Twitter one day a couple years ago. Before that, I've read many fics where they were side-paired and enjoyed the outcome, but that was about it then.

That day on Twitter, there were a few fanarts shared around and other SasuSaku accounts commenting positive things about it, and those tweets reached me and a few other friends. The fanart was hot and made me think about their aesthetics together. Eventually that week, we were all discussing things along the line: "Two blue-eyed, loud, blonds together, that are best friends with Sakura and Sasuke, and would probably meddle in their relationship and bicker a lot."

From that + more fanarts popping up after, I thought, how can I make this work? Can I make this hot and fun? And then I tried and it worked well enough for me haha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really enjoyed dabbling with these two blonds, bestfriends of my OTP. It's a lot of fun! I enjoyed writing a different couple dynamic and interactions, play with their backgrounds and how their friendships influence the relationship. Since then, it became second nature to add them in my stories, like a sister ship. 😉

In the end, I wouldn't say that I really ship NaruIno, at least not like actively reading fics or being extremely dedicated as I am with Sasusaku. I just like them together as a side pairing. They look good - they are aesthetically pleasing together - and are fun!

Anyway, I'm a ship and let ship person, and I hope this doesn't throw anyone off here. 😊

Thanks again for reading and sending your questions. 🤍 I'm happy to know I answered them with my fic before replying through here. 😆

Hope you have a wonderful week! 😁

Stay Safe,

xoxo

Sambucky Prompts

I have had these ideas for a few days, but I don't have enough time to write, and my writing is an abomination. so I'm gonna post the prompts here, anyone can use these and write. and if any of you do, please be a kind angel and send me the link to the fic🥺🥺

1st prompt:

After taking the mantle of Captain America, Sam starts training Joaquin to be the falcon. One day, he introduces Sam to all the sambucky fanfics online after talking about some rumors about Sam dating his colleague, best friend with who he lives together. After that when Sam finds a little bit of time, he ends up reading fanfics, his growing love for Bucky doesn't help either. He finds one writer who gets his and Bucky's dynamic way too perfectly, sometimes even posting about things that have actually happened between him and Bucky. It kind of freaks Sam out, but he keeps reading. later he finds out that Bucky is that writer, secretly posting all those fics. and they confess and all...

2nd prompt:

It's pretty much the same as the first one, except this time Bucky has this fan account dedicated to Sam and sambucky, and he takes extreme measures to learn digital art so that he can draw fanarts about them. He tries his best to be subtle, but it's a bit tough when he and his crush live together and sometimes use the same laptop.

3rd prompt:

Someone gives Sam a magical fruit/or any type of food, it could be Wanda/Thor/Loki/Strange/America Chavez/Shang-Chi/one of the guardians- basically, anyone who has access to magical powers or different dimensions and realms. That food enhances one's inner magical abilities to read the mind of someone non-stop, someone who they love dearly but never confessed to. Now, Sam can't stop reading Bucky's mind, and he's surprised to find Bucky thinking about him all the time. [Bucky might have just tooth rotting fluffy thoughts or horny ones, or both lol. well, if anyone writes this and takes it to the horny side, I would love to read the implications of bottom!Bucky. but if you're into bottom!Sam, then that is alright too!

#sambucky prompts #sam wilson #bucky barnes #sam wilson as captain america #posting the ideas in my mind cause I'm shitty at writing myself #where is time when you need it the most #oh I remember now- time was never mine to have lol

you are under no obligation to answer ALL of these, but 3, 11, 17, 25, 32, 40, 55, 67, 73, and 77! pick as many as you like :V

Have I totally forgotten I reblogged this? You bet I have. 🤣 Anyway, thanks for the questions, I'll see what I can do!

3) Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic With a one-shot, it's usually "get an idea -> tell yourself you have too many wips and don't have time to write the idea -> get obsessed with the idea -> write it anyway" With a chapter of a longer fic, it's usually either "these characters have taken over my life and are forcing me to spit out 4k words in 24 hours, send help" or "this fic is almost over can we PLEASE just finish this chapter, I'M BEGGING YOU!"

11) Link your three favorite fics right now Listen, I can't even finish the fourth volume of 2ha, my brain can't really handle reading fics. I'm glad when I can make it write fics. 🤣

17) What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block) Scream. Cry. Suffer. Complain. (That usually helps. The moment I bitch about not being able to write, I suddenly seem to miraculously get the ability back.)

25) What fic do you wish you got more of a response on? You know the answer, ellie, I fucking know you do. 🤣 It's Today, We Are Happy. I put my whole soul into that thing. But I guess it's kinda my fault for publishing an angsty fic right before Christmas.

40) If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see? Yeah, that's not likely to happen, but hypothetically, it would be nice to see the VP reunion from (Some Things Are) Better Left Forgotten. Or anything where Pete gets choked. 🤣 Or a scene from a smutty fic I'm still only considering to write, but it would include Pete in a skirt getting fucked on the minor family house's balcony during new year's fireworks. 😇

55) Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones? It's both Vegas and Pete and nothing can really change that. The one time I got swayed was actually with my own original character - and yes, it was Sunshine in Vegas' Unconventional Torture Methods. He was only meant to be a nameless bodyguard, but then the readers fell in love with him (and so did I), and he became his own character.

67) Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas? I usually write my own ideas, but prompts and challenges can be fun, too! (With that said, if anyone has any prompts for me, my asks are always open.) 🤣

73) What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works? I hope I can write good dialogues, and also sassy bickering. And comedy/crack. Which is not that usual a thing to see in the VP fandom, I think.

77) Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from [Fanfic Name] story/chapter? Oh, can I pick the fic to answer for? 😁 I just love the scene in Today, We Are Happy where Vegas forgets all about his pride and lets the main family see him unstyled and vulnerable because he's worried about Pete and Pete's way more important than his pride and stubborness.

If anyone else wants to send me a fic ask, feel free to! 🥰

iʼm requesting once again because i canʼt get enough of your fics. theyʼre *chefʼs kiss* >-<

uh, remember that one scene from princess mononoke? (donʼt know if you know that anime but anyway) the thing with like, “iʼll cut your throat,” and, “youʼre beautiful,”?

yeah, itʼs this.

so uh... i donʼt really care whether if youʼre going to incorporate this to dreamnap or dreamnoblade or both of them; anything is fine! ^-^

(also, iʼve seen one dreamnoblade fanart of this before i think and i remembered so here i am. sorry! *crawls away*)

hi mimi, im so glad to know you're enjoying all the stuff ive written so far! (i read all of your tags whenever i see you reblogging my posts and they fuel me to keep on writing!!)

so yeah, onto the request. i'm a huge fan of mononoke hime as well, so this au is definitely up my alley!

and since you've mentioned a dreamnoblade fanart (which i hope you send my way so that i can also appreciate it), let me give you some dreamnoblade content for today, please enjoy!

Dreamnoblade Princess Mononoke AU:

"You don't look like the usual idiot who goes wandering too far in my forest, even if you are dressed like one." The masked man concluded, leaning closer until the tip of his blade pierces through Techno's skin. "Tell me, human. What are you?" The question was hissed right next to his ear.

Techno thinks about the stranger's question for a moment, ignoring the slow trickle of blood that was running down his neck. His silence only seemed to anger his opponent even more, if the way his hands shook in obvious contempt was any indication.

“Techno,” he finally answered, tilting his lips upward and enjoying the audible scoff the other man lets out. “Technoblade. The soon to be victor.”

"You know so little about your opponent, yet you say such bold proclamations."

Techno answers him with a shrug of his shoulder, still far too nonchalant despite his current position. "I think I know more than enough."

"Shall I cut your throat?" The masked man threatened, pushing his dagger deeper into Techno's skin. "That would finally shut you up."

The sudden action caused the mask to slip and Techno uses the momentary distraction to his advantage. Quickly, he manages to break one of his arms free from the stranger's hold to cut the string holding the white porcelain mask from the stranger's face.

The mask falls to the ground with a loud clang and the stranger's face is no longer obscure from his own view.

Green eyes, as deep and luscious as the emerald necklace Techno's father used to wear around his neck, looked down at him with vehemence. The moon's radiance accented the man's youthful face perfectly, it was in the way his golden lashes curled elegantly at the tip, and the way his entire face glowed as if the moon itself lives in the lining of the other man's skin.

And for a moment Techno is struck completely motionless, unable to look away from the sight before him, because the man holding a dagger to his throat is just far too beautiful. Techno tells the stranger as much and he watches in fascination when those same emerald eyes widen at his admission.

A delicate shade of crimson began to color the other man's cheeks, and the vibrant shade continued all the way down to his exposed neck. Techno tracks the enticing sight with his eyes hungrily. The urge to sink his teeth and mark every inch of the other man's skin was overwhelming, Techno has never felt such blatant attraction towards anyone else and the realization has him reeling.

This man, Techno thought with surprising surety. This beautiful stranger, who's still holding a dagger to his throat, could be his undoing.

Pairing: Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla

Word count: no idea

A/N: This is my first fanfiction that I’m posting out in the world! This takes place an hour or two after the end of Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Episode 7: Wings of the Master. I found a fanart when surfing the internet for Kanera content (as one does) a few months ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since! I don’t know whose work the art is but I’ll paste it on here! If anyone knows who it’s by, please let me know :) the art isn’t mine, but all of the writing is! Obviously, Kanan isn’t blind yet in this fic like he is in the fanart. I hope anyone who reads this likes it!! I’m hoping to post more fanfiction in the future—I have three others in the works already! I’m open to any and all feedback!

Hera rubs her temple as she steps out of the promotion briefing. Her head buzzes with new intel, and plans zip through her mind like starships. She is honored and ecstatic about her promotion to Phoenix Leader. At the same time, though, she can already feel the new responsibility settling onto her shoulders, all of the lives that will soon be placed under her supervision weighing on her. Hera can and will take on all of the privileges and authority her new position grants her, and she fully intends to own it, too. Still, her heart is heavy.

Truthfully, she’s still struggling with the losses they suffered on the first attempt to deliver supplies to Ibaar. Hera had been so determined to complete that mission, to find the right ship to make it possible, that the grief and sensation of failure hadn’t caught up with her. She had made sure of that. There wasn’t time to be crippled by guilt and loss when there was a mission to complete. Now that the mission was over, however, she can feel the effects of the losses setting in.

Thoughts swirl through her mind as she continues to head down the hallway towards the bay where the Ghost is docked.

If I had just let us turn back—if I hadn’t told everyone to keep going—maybe Phoenix Leader and the people on the transport would have survived.

She’d made the wrong call. Hera can still hear the panic-filled voice crying out, “Captain Syndulla!” as the transport—and the people inside—were blasted into a thousand pieces. She’d let her determination blind her, and lives had been lost because of it.

Guilt pours into her, paralyzing her. She stops walking in the middle of the empty hallway and steps into a nearby alcove to process it all. If I make a mistake like that again, the consequences will be worse now that I have more responsibility. What if I let everyone down?

Her churning vortex of thoughts and feelings is interrupted by a pair of strong, green-clad arms embracing her from behind, and a deep, warm voice comes from above her. “How’s it going, Captain?”

Pleasure surges through her lekku. His timing is perfect.

The pleasant surprise washes all of the guilt, fear, and sadness away, at least for now. Hera lets out a little “hey” of protest as Kanan Jarrus pulls her nearly off her feet, but an irrepressible smile spreads over her face. She closes her eyes and turns her face towards his, relishing the warmth emanating from him and the way his presence soothes her. Hera places her hands on the arms that envelop her, returning the embrace through a gentle squeeze.

“Better now, love,” she tells him. He releases her slightly so that her feet are fully on the ground and places his chin on her shoulder, still holding her close.

“And you usually hate PDAs.”

“If I’m not mistaken, there’s no one in this hallway.”

“What would you have done if there were?”

Hera is silent for a moment, eyes still closed. “Nothing differently.”

She can feel him grin. “Great,” he replies. “Because there’s someone walking by now.”

Hera’s eyes fly open and search the hallway—which is still empty. She elbows him. “Kanan!”

A deep laugh vibrates out of his chest. She rolls her eyes, but allows herself to settle back into his embrace.

“Really, though,” Kanan says gently, all traces of mirth disappearing. The care in his voice sends another ripple of affection through her lekku. “How are you? I could tell you needed this.”

“And you were right,” Hera admits as he guides them down onto the alcove’s bench, arms still entwined around her. Normally, she’d break away now to explain what she was feeling, the thought of fellow rebels walking by and being made uncomfortable by their display of affection present in her mind. This time, however, she isn’t ready to move away from him. Besides, this isn’t a heavily trafficked hallway anyway. She does move to the side rather than sitting on his lap, though, her shoulder overlapping his. “It’s those people we lost the first time we went to Ibaar to deliver the supplies,” she begins, her voice heavy with returning guilt. “They died because of me.”

Kanan lifts his head from her shoulder, his aquamarine eyes staring seriously into hers. “Hera, no.”

“They told me they were taking heavy fire,” she continues, her voice growing more and more agitated. “They lost their forward deflectors, and I still told them to keep going. I should’ve told them to turn back.” A sound of frustration escapes her throat. “Why am I so stubborn? Why are they putting more people under my leadership after my decision led to several deaths?”

“Hera,” Kanan’s voice cuts through her hysteria, rich and deep and sure. “Everyone here knows that any mission could be their last.”

“I know that,” she responds, voice still thrumming with anguish. “But that doesn’t mean lives should be thrown away just because of one person’s inability to retreat!” She breaks her gaze from his, shaking her head and staring down at the floor. “I don’t deserve that promotion.”

Kanan gently lifts her head so that her eyes meet his again. “No one trusting someone with authority expects them to be perfect,” Kanan reminds her. “Everyone here has made a wrong call, has failed to complete a mission—which you didn’t, by the way—but that doesn’t mean they’re a failure. You weren’t treating anyone like they were expendable—your optimism led you not to give up. You were determined to get those supplies to those in need and refused to give up hope.” Tones similar to those he uses when teaching Ezra a lesson color his voice, though with considerably less frustration. “The only way to rise above your mistakes is to accept the lessons they teach and apply them in the future. Letting your mistakes destroy your faith in yourself isn’t going to help anyone.”

Hera listens intently, his sincerity like a bacta patch on a wound.

“Sato could hear all of the comms between you and Phoenix Squadron, and he didn’t demote you or chastise you. Clearly, he doesn’t blame you for the lives that were lost.” Kanan squeezes her tighter reassuringly. “No one does.”

His voice becomes harder, more insistent. “And of course you deserve the promotion.” He sounds offended at the thought of anyone suggesting otherwise. “You didn’t volunteer to leave the mission—you were committed to seeing it through. But when I volunteered you for the mission to Shantipole, you dove in—literally—and headed straight into a world that no ship is supposed to be able to escape from—but you did. You’d only flown that B-wing once before joining the battle, but you flew it like it was built for you. You’re the reason those supplies did get to those people. When I recommended your promotion, Sato didn’t waste a second before agreeing with me.”

Kanan’s words replace her guilt and grief with a swelling of gratitude and comfort. Hera won’t forget those who had died today. She’ll be more careful to see when a situation requires a retreat, but she won’t let her confidence in herself die. “Thank you, Kanan,” she tells him, her heart full. He places his forehead against hers, and they share a rare moment of contentment and peace, enjoying each other’s presence.

Hera reluctantly breaks the silence after a minute or so, lifting her forehead from his.“We should probably get back home,” she tells the Jedi. “I liked that B-wing, but that doesn’t mean I’m letting the kids wreck the Ghost.” Kanan’s flash of disappointment is so endearing. She lifts his chin reassuringly.

“It’ll be all right, fearless leader.”

Kanan unravels his arms from around her, replying indignantly, “Hey, no, you’re officially the leader now.” They’d had the argument many times, each insisting that the other is the leader of their crew. Hera always tells him that “captain of the ship” and “leader” are two different things.

Now she rolls her eyes, smiling, but doesn’t correct him this time.

“I guess it’s about time we get back, anyway,” Kanan continues before she changes her mind and decides to refute him. “How long has it been since you’ve eaten something?”

Hera’s brows knit as she attempts to remember. “Yeah, too long,” Kanan’s suspicions seem to have been confirmed. “Come on.” He takes her hand and pulls her up, out of the alcove, and into the hallway. They share a comfortable silence all the way back to the Ghost, which Hera now realizes Kanan must have left to come find her. Even more affection for him to rises in her at the realization.

When the cockpit opens, the two release each others’ hands and are greeted by a rush of cheers and pumping fists. Even Chopper waves his grasping arms and spins around in celebration.

“Go Hera!” Ezra yells.

“About time you got promoted,” Zeb grins.

“Congratulations, Hera,” Sabine tells her earnestly.

“Mom got promoted! Mom got promoted!” Chopper chants triumphantly.

Hera chuckles, heart overflowing with fondness for her crew. “All right, all right,” she tells them. “You’re going to make the rest of the ship think that something’s wrong.”

“Who cares?” Ezra says as he pulls everyone into a group hug. “Hera cares,” Kanan replies, but he puts one arm around her and another around Sabine. The hug is a little awkward, with Zeb being so much taller than Ezra and Sabine and Chopper standing in the middle of the circle, but in that moment, the crew feels truly united.

“Okay, I can’t stand Zeb’s smell anymore,” Ezra quips, stepping out of the circle. Chopper rolls over and smacks him with a grasping arm.

“Ow! You always do that!” The blue-haired boy zips into the cargo hold, trying to get away from Chopper, who continues whacking him as he pursues.

The rest of the family shares exasperated smiles.

Kanan nudges Hera forward, dropping his arms from hers and Sabine’s shoulders.

“Lead the way, Captain Hera,” he tells her, that crooked smile of his setting the inside of Hera aglow. “We’re all behind you.”

I Found My Light: Chapter 3 (Kakashi x Reader)

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3

A/n: Sorry for the delay! Wasn't sure where I wanted to go with this but it came to me in the shower (as all good ideas do). Hope you enjoy it! This story is far from over.

Summary: You attend the group training session where, to your dismay, Kakashi is in attendance.

Word Count: 1800

Warnings: fem!reader, SFW (but won't be in future chapters), violence, angst

Fanart!: Please check out this fanart inspired by this fic by the talented @szamasza <3

If this training session goes like any other typical training session, you are in for a long one. Training usually begins around mid-day and lasts several hours until everyone feels like they’re on the brink of death. Then, when face down in the dirt, Asuma tries to convince everyone to head to the bar on the main street that gives discounts to shinobi. After a few minutes of resounding I’m-too-tireds and maybe-next-times, everyone gives in and spends the remainder of the night into the next morning crammed in a booth getting absolutely sloshed.

This night was like any other night, except not because your anxiety was at an all-time high.

Kakashi showed up about an hour into training, aloof as ever. You were deep in your spar with Genma when you saw him out of the corner of your eye. Genma must have noticed your distraction, as he didn’t hesitate to spit his senbon at you with full force. Luckily you were refocused in less than a second and caught it between your fingers.

“Nice try, buddy,” you teased him, “It’s going to take more than that to throw me off.”

Genma raised his eyebrow at you. “I don’t know, (y/n), you seemed a little distracted,” he teased.

And just like that, you were back at each other’s throats.

Kakashi ended up finding a spot sparing Gai. Typical of him, as usually Gai is the only one who can keep up ability-wise. Although, Kakashi hasn’t seen how much you’ve grown and a part of you is hoping you’ll get a chance at him. You still have yet to use your chakra sword-whip, your most brutal weapon, in front of your fellow shinobi. It’s remained in its sheath strapped across your back, waiting to be used against the most brutal opponent.

“Alright, alright,” Genma pants, curled up on the ground holding his left side where you just landed a forceful kick, “Please show me some mercy, (y/n).”

“Only if you admit that I’m a better shinobi than you in every way,” you say smugly, crossing your arms across your chest.

“Yes, you are a better shinobi than me in every way. You're stealthy, quick, strong, intelligent, adaptable, beautiful, and, most of all, kind. Which is why you’ll give me my senbon back.” He pleas, still laying on the ground with his hand out to you.

“Mmm, fine,” you tease, pulling the senbon from your hair where you used it to hold it in a bun. “It does make a great hair accessory though. I think I might have to get one for myself.” You help Gemma back up to his feet and stick the metal needle back into his mouth.

He gives you a smirk, still grasping onto your hand. “You should see my collection. I have at least two hundred of these,” he boasts, taking the senbon out of his mouth to twirl it in his fingers. “I‘ll make sure to pick one out for you.”

“I would be honored.” You smile warmly, squeezing his hand.

At this moment you could sense a set of eyes staring at you from the other side of the training field. Well, one eye, you should say, as Kakashi is staring directly at you while he holds Gai in a headlock. His expression is unreadable as his eyes flicker from you to Genma and then back to you. You could swear that you saw his shoulders drop a bit before he brought his attention back to Gai who is currently struggling to breathe in his grasp.

“Ka-ka-shi-ple-ase-le-t-me-go-” Gai gasps, holding onto Kakashi’s arms currently wrapped around his neck. Kakashi’s eyes widen when his attention is brought back to his opponent and he immediately releases Gai from his grasp. With a thud, Gai drops to the floor and sucks in one big breath.

“Are you trying to kill him?!” Kurenai yells as she runs to tend to Gai who is sitting on the ground rubbing his neck. Everyone else on the field stops what they’re doing when they notice the commotion and circle around Gai wondering what happened.

“I’m sorry-” Kakashi starts, hands back in his pockets still staring at Gai wide-eyed.

“Apologies are unnecessary my rival!” Gai cuts in, still gasping for air. “Flashes of my youth came to me as I was falling out of consciousness. It reminded me how much there is to live for. I thank you for the near-death experience, Kakashi!” Gai quickly recovers and stands up, dusting the dirt from his green jumpsuit. “You win this round, but I wouldn’t get used to it!” Gai challenges, holding out a hand for Kakashi to shake.

“Yeah, sure Gai.” Kakashi agrees sheepishly, accepting Gai’s hand.

“Damn, Kakashi.” Genma starts, a smug smile pulling at his mouth. “The Anbu made you a pretty ruthless fighter, huh? I didn’t realize friend-killer Kakashi applied to us too.”

You could hear everyone in the circle try to hold in their gasps after registering Genma’s statement. Kakashi’s whole body stiffened and you could see the appearance of a grimace form under his mask. He is visibly uncomfortable. Yet, instead of looking at Genma who just addressed him, he is looking at you.

You suck in a breath, feeling terrible for Kakashi. Rumors spread, nicknames are formed, it’s all a part of being a shinobi. But “friend-killer Kakashi” is on a whole other level of petty.

That jerk.

“Are you fucking kidding me, Genma?” You turn to him and yell. “What makes you think you can say shit like that?”

“Oh c’mon!” Genma retorts. “We were all thinking it! This is the first time he’s been back training with us since the Anbu. You’ve heard what people have said about him. I’m surprised one of us isn’t already dead!”

This time no one was able to hold in their reactions as gasps escaped everyone in the circle.

You are fuming.

“Actually, Genma, the only one you should be worried about killing you is me because I am a second away from shoving that stupid senbon down your throat.” You take a step forward, challenging him.

“Hey, hey,” Genma retreats, taking a step back with his hands up in defense. “I was just trying to look out for us, for you especially. I mean out of all of us, you should be the most concerned. You know, with the whole situation that happened with Ri-”

You close the gap between you and Genma in seconds, grabbing the collar of his vest, you yank the senbon from his mouth and hold it against his throat.

“If you finish that sentence it will be the last words you ever speak.” You threaten. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. You have no idea the details of what Kakashi has been through. What Rin went through. What I went through. It isn’t your place to speak about a situation you know nothing of. So do us all a favor and shut up.” You let go of his vest and shove him back a couple steps.

“Wow, damn, okay, sorry.” Genma apologizes, a hint of annoyance in his voice. “I was just joking around. There’s no need to be so serious about it, (y/n).”

“My hand went through Rin’s heart,” Kakashi speaks up from his silence. “There’s nothing to joke about.”

Hearing Kakashi speak this hard truth sends a sharp pain through your heart, and you instinctively grasp onto the part of your shirt lying over your chest.

You turn and look back at Kakashi, who meets your eyes.

Pain.

So much pain.

You turn to step towards him, but he’s already retreating from the circle.

“I think that’s it for me today guys. I’ll catch you around another time.” Kakashi says as he turns away from the group giving you one last glance. Heading towards the forest, he reaches around to his pouch and pulls out his Icha Icha novel, bringing it in front of him to pick up where he left off.

After a few silent beats, Asuma claps his hands together to bring attention to him.

“So,” he starts, “drinks anyone?”

Everyone immediately becomes more relaxed now that the focus has shifted. You, on the other hand, are feeling so tense that you start to hear ringing in your ears. You get that Asuma is just trying to relieve the tension in the group, but you can’t help but be annoyed that he’s trying to move on from what just happened so quickly.

Kurenai meets your gaze and can read your annoyance. She gives you a pleading look that says drop it for now, (y/n).

Everyone in the circle, including Genma, give a resounding “yes” and head in the opposite direction of Kakashi back towards the village. You're left alone standing in the middle of the grounds as they make their way out.

“(Y/n), are you coming?” Kurenai calls out to you.

You contemplate for a second and begin to wave her off.

“I think I’m going to stay here for a minute. You guys go on ahead, I’ll meet up with you later,” you reply. Honestly, you have no intention of getting back together with them, as any place where Genma is hanging out is the last place you want to be.

“Okay,” Asuma shouts back at you, “we will be at that one bar on main.”

“As always.” you joke back, trying to sound light-hearted.

Once they are out of sight you turn to look back at the trees that Kakashi exited through. You have absolutely no idea where he could be headed to or how fast he could be traveling through the trees. It might be a waste of time to head out after him. After all, if Kakashi doesn’t want to be found, you have no chance of finding him.

Feeling slightly defeated, you plop down to the ground and sit criss-cross in the dirt. You sit up straight and put both of your hands palm-up on each knee. Taking a deep breath in, you feel the breeze rustle through your hair. Taking a deep breath out, you hear the sound of the trees flowing in the wind.

If he wants to talk, he will come to me. In the meantime, I will meditate.

The next time you open your eyes, it’s dark out.

Damn, how many hours have passed?

You close your eyes.

More time passes.

The next time you open your eyes, Kakashi is sitting a few feet across from you mirroring your position.

His eyes are open.

As if your thoughts are mirroring each other as well, you both speak in unison.

“I’m sorry.”

HELLO!!! I can’t believe it took me my 2nd rereading of the series to realise you guys had an official Tumblr, but I’m just here to gush over how much I adore this AU! It has to be HANDS DOWN my favourite rendition of Silm fanwork— I looked forward to working my way through all 400+ fics during a rather tough month every night, so it was serious comfort content for me!! There’s really nothing else like it 💓

The amount of research, planning and depth that goes into each piece just never fails to astound me. I especially adore the spotlight you give to characters like Gwindor (what a guy), Caranthir, Estrela/Arien— and truth be told sometimes I forget characters like Sticks aren’t in the canon verse lmao. And! Seeing Melian’s Chinese culture written in the Doriath fics was a pleasant surprise too; it really resonated in a personal way with me that I’ve never seen explored in any other way before so that’s just one of the countless things that make you guys’ AU so goshdarn *special*

Plus I could rave for HOURS about just how beautifully complex Maedhros is (and continues to be… Pharmakós! Pharmakós!) as the AU’s gem (best booooyy), or all the intertwining character relationships... I am speechless. Literally. maybe for the best bc asks probably have word limits but I DIGRESS

I look forward to each and every update, and I’m so SO excited to see what lies in store!!! I’m slowly but steadily sorting my way through this blog but if you don’t mind me asking, do you guys have any canon designs of the cast? I would love to do fanart if I can find the time but am also TERRIFIED of inaccuracies, so I hope you don’t mind me asking! Still, keep up the brilliant work and thank you again for this absolute blessing to the Silm fandom 💓

That you are rereading the AU MULTIPLE times is simply the best compliment we could ever receive. Hopefully our next 400+ fics get you through the next ten years or however long it takes us. Every comment and kudos and bookmark are noted and appreciated.

Also, can we congratulate you on flawless taste in characters? Estrela and Caranthir and Gwindor are among our author-favorites to write for, especially since our adaptations of them feel so personally developed at this point. It's hard to remember sometimes that Estrela is the literal sun in Tolkien canon, or that Gwindor and Maedhros were never friends.

As for Maedhros, it seems fair to say that he's the central character, the primary protagonist of this retelling, and we strive to make him interesting and tragic and funny and poignant and [very hot] and so, yes, a gem. Thank you for loving him! Not a day goes by in the authorial groupchat when we're not talking about him. For a while his physical action necessarily stagnated because of his injuries, but we did our best to keep his character growth forward-moving, and use the time (ahh, The Healing Year, was it like half the AU or something? :D) to develop many relationships that were set up early on.

Now, for an apology that this reply is so belated: you asked if we had canon designs for the cast...please don't be terrified to make your own fanart! We are so honored when anyone creates anything, and you're welcome to draw as much or as little on the descriptions in our fics when doing so. If you go through the fanart tag on the blog, you can see the variety of interpretations that other generous fans have shared.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and this lovely long ask. Promise we'll be seeing more of Melian's Chinese culture in Pharmakos! Happy reading :)

(PS- Mythopoeia here to add on that yes, please!!! Feel free to draw all characters however you imagine them, it is so much fun for us as writers to see how readers see what we have written! If, however, you still do want any additional specific information about specific characters, feel free to send more queries and we shall answer as best we can, with the caveat that even from each of us three some descriptions could be slightly different—we don’t coordinate as much on physical descriptions of people as you might think, beyond generally having the same vibes I guess, haha. Best example of us working together to give “canon” description reference to an artist is the beautiful painting of Maedhros, Estrela, and Gwindor that@arlenianchronicles made last year :) Basically just have fun with what we have made and we are honored by anything and everything you do! Thanks again for reading and for sending such an amazing response, truly a highlight of the whole month for us!)

Can I request Poe Dameron for your character ask? 😍😍

Oh please do...

favorite thing about them

I actually already answered this one, so as to not make this a thousand pages long here it is.

least favorite thing about them

Is it bad if I can't think of anything? Lol. No okay but maybe he can be a little bit too self centered, especially at the beginning of episode 8? That's it really other than those 5 minutes there's nothing else.

favorite line

Ok I got two...

"So who talks first?". I saw that man being captured by Kylo Ren, about to be interrogated, and he throws that line... I fell in love.

"The resistance will not be intimidated by you". Chills. Literal chills.

brOTP + OTP

Jedistormpilot. Just gimme it in any way you want

nOTP

Poe/Hux. I saw fanart once and NOPE.

random headcanon

When he's overwhelmed he takes his X-Wing and just kind of soars in space, just him and BB looking at the stars while Poe tries to calm his mind down.

unpopular opinion

I don't think any of my Poe opinions are unpopular. I think the most "unpopular" thought I have about him is that he was always right during episode 8, like COME ON he was trying to understand what the hell was going on, but I'm pretty sure that that's not unpopular.

song i associate with them

There are 3 songs actually. And did anyone ask why I associate him with those songs? No? Well here it is anyway.

Meteor Showers by Andy Kong. (and I may or may not be planning a fic with this song in mind.)

Figment Of my Mind by Bruno Major. (It makes me really emotional because the first lines make me think about him and his mom and yeah... brb I'm gonna go cry)

Infinity by 1D. (this one's just A Bop about Poe comparing his love with the stars because he is a sap)

favorite picture of them

he has absolutely no right to be THIS PRETTY

Send a character!

I have some slightly controversial take about Sam Wilson fandom here, so maybe don’t reblog this post... Comment if you want, but I really don’t want to start arguing with anyone. I just need to vent and will probably delete the whole rant later.

So...

I know that Sam’s fans complain a lot about the treatment he gets in the fandom... I still do that from time to time and I probably will continue doing it in the future. But I’m starting to feel very, very tired with the people who act like their love for Sam can only be expressed through:

1) criticizing other people’s content,

2) hatered/dislike for Bucky or Sambucky,

3) complaining about other people in the fandom.

It’s so weird. We criticize the people who make Bucky-centric content with barely any mention of Sam and tag it with his name, because it’s annoying, but at the same time there is quite a big number of fans, whose posts in Sam Wilson tag are basically:

“omg he never gets recognition”, “MCU fandom hates Sam”, “Everything is about Bucky, where is Sam?!” “some of you only like sam when he’s with bucky :/”

And... sure. There’s a lot of truth to these statements. But saying that over and over again won’t fix the problem, especially if you yourself don’t do ANYTHING to remedy the situation. You’re flooding the tag too... Just in a different way. A few months ago I had this habit that I liked to follow people who wrote posts like these. Because I had this assumption that: if you complain about Sam being treated badly you probably love him a lot, so we should get along. I love him too!

But I realized that a lot of those people literally complain for the sake of complaining and than don’t even try to post Sam-centric content on their own. Why not??? You don’t have to be an amazing creator to make a good post. It’s not just about realistic fanart and 30k words fanfic with a complicated plot. You might write some weird HCs about Sam instead. Or a joke. Incorrect quotes. Ideas for fics you’ll never finish, but might inspire other people. Doodles that took 2 minutes of drawing. Edited photos. Favourite screenshots. Prompts. Learn to make poor-quality gifs of Sam’s cool fightigh style. Write a short scene analysis. Or ask other people how they analyse some scenes to start a discussion. Link some edits from YouTube.

And if you cannot think of a single thing to make on your own? Well. You can always promote art made by other people. Go through the tag and reblog things you loved. Find a good blog and search throught their archives to find older content. You can compile a post with fic recommendations so other people read what you enjoyed and see how good the content about Sam might be. Or recommend your favourite creators in general. Send encouraging asks to artists who you love so they feel motivated.

--- ----- ---

But these people do none of that. I can scroll throught their blog for 10 minutes and everything about Sam Wilson I see is complaining that people like Bucky more. Or that Sambucky is popular. (As if all the best Sambucky stories aren’t just fans expressing their love towards Sam through Bucky’s eyes...) I’m not trying to say that you have to be a creator to criticize the fandom, but it’s weird when you only yell at others for not posting enough about Sam when you didn’t post anything about him either unless it’s complaining. Kind of ironic...

Also! If you don’t promote other people’s content they get discoraged from posting. It’s a fact. I have probably over 80 different half-made and finished drawings with Sam Wilson on my tablet, but I have zero incentive to post any of them, because every attempt in the past ended with these posts getting 4 notes. Or 10 at best. So why bother? I can look at them alone. And I don’t remember these people who complained about the lack of Sam content supporting my Sam-centric art with nice comments.

You cannot expect the fandom to mass-produce content for you if you don’t encourage it. I got no feedback, so now I just sort of... write or draw for myself, because I enjoy it and have no incentive to publish any of that when no one’s interested. Instead I just make writing prompts or analysis of tfatws, because there’s a bigger chance I’ll have an interesting disussion with other fans in the comments or I’ll inspire other creators to make more art by posting that. I enjoy both of those things very much, but one evokes a reaction I want and the other just... doesn’t. (It’s not even about validation... even if it’s nice to get compliments. It’s just: “when other people are clearly not interested, why make the art public at all?”.)

--- ----- ---

Like I said. I’m not going to call out any specific person here. But there were a few people who harshly criticized me in asks or in private messages for “pretending to love Sam” just because I like Sambucky too. But if you scroll through my blog you’ll find that at least 95% of the posts are about Sam. And if you scroll through theirs it’s 3 posts - all of them about fandom not loving Sam enough. (I just checked.)

But I guess I’m a “disgrace to the fandom”, because I acknowledge that Sam might have a love interest while you said you hate Bucky, so... Apparently your love for Sam Wilson is more real if you despise more popular characters he interacts with. ...Be honest with yourselves. Some of you just like to whine and complain, but prefer to disguise it behind love for Sam, so it sounds justified.

And yes. There should be more content that is only about Sam. Or about Sam’s non-romantic relationships. Sure. But if my two choices are: “get a Sambucky fic about Bucky loving Sam very much” or “get a post where someone cries about Sam not being loved enough for the 10th time”... then pardon me for preferring the first option.

If any of you spent half the energy you waste on complaining on making a single post about your supposed love for Sam the tag would be much more full of good content. But it seems like making actual content requires more effort and talent, so you just stay there whining that other people don’t provide you with what you want and demand. And give zero encouragement and promotion to those who do the work.

So continue doing that if you wish. But I won’t waste all my energy on making my weekly “this fandom fucking sucks” post. I prefer promoting cool art other users made (now or years ago) and creating my own posts that might not be always 100% about only Sam... but are still focused on him. Because I like this fictional little guy. I’m not going to let this weird purity tests ruin my enjoyment. If the pretty drawing of Sam has Bucky on the other side of the canvas I still have a cool drawing of Sam to admire. So it’s a win for me.

--- ----- ---

[Reminder: please don’t reblog this. I really just need to vent. Comments are okay, I can discuss this. I just don’t want some peope to see that and go yell at me all over again. I was already harassed for allowing Bucky or Steve on my mostly Sam-Wilson-centric blog...]

[Also... if you think this is hypocritical of me to complain about complaining... Maybe. I don’t think it’s comparable here, but whatever.]

FAQ

Nominations

What can I nominate?

You can nominate relationships that include anyone associated with Crooked Media as a podcast host or contributor, a real-life partner of a pod host, or a Crooked Media employee.

A relationship can include two or more people. Please note that romantic relationships are denoted by / and platonic relationships are denoted by &. Thus, if you’d like to see a romantic story between person A and person B, you’d nominate that relationship as A/B. If you wanted to receive purely platonic fic without any romantic components, you’d nominate them as A&B. You can also combine & and / and nominate, for example, A/B & C, in which case A/B would be romantic and C would be a platonic part of the ship.

How do I nominate relationships for this exchange?

Go to the tag set! You're allowed to nominate up to 5 relationships during the nomination phase.

Sign-ups

How do sign-ups work?

On the collection page, find the button that says ‘Sign up’ and follow the prompts. You can request and offer any of the previously nominated relationships (no matter if you nominated them or not). You can request between 3 and 6 relationships for which you’d like to receive fic, and can offer to write between 4 and 10 relationships.

Do I have to write a letter to my author?

No, you do not have to write a letter to your author, though you are absolutely welcome to write a letter with optional details, prompts, or whatever else strikes your fancy. Leaving your author optional details in the sign-up field is not required either, but strongly encouraged. The details are optional, but some authors find it helpful to know what kind of story you’d like to receive, which tropes or prompts you’d really like to see written, or what your Do Not Wants (DNWs) are.

How does matching work?

The Hot Pod Summer exchange matches on relationships. Your assigned recipient will have requested at least one relationship that you offered to write. If you have entered optional details or DNWs in your AO3 sign-up boxes, these may also be taken into account when matching. Once matching is done, you will receive an email with your recipient’s AO3 username and their requests.

Assignments

What are the requirements for the story I’m writing?

Your story must feature at least one of the relationships requested by your recipient. It must also be a complete story (no “I’m posting chapter 1 now and other chapters later”, please!) of at least 1,500 words.

If I offered more than one ship that my recipient requested, which one do I write? If I want to write a ship they requested that I didn’t offer, am I allowed to do that?

As long as your story features at least one of the ships they requested, you’re good. If you offered more than one of their ships, which one you end up writing is totally up to you.

Is my assignment a secret?

Your assignment is a secret until authors are revealed. Please do not discuss the story you’re writing publicly, we all want to be surprised on reveals day. :) If you need to contact your recipient because you have a question about their sign-up or for whatever other reason, please do not contact them directly, even anonymously! Instead, email us at [email protected] and we will contact your recipient to ensure anonymity is maintained.

What if I can’t complete my assignment before the deadline?

Please reach out to us. We’re here to help, but we have to know if there’s a problem. We have a default deadline set for a week before assignments are due and while we understand that last-minute things can happen, it would really help mods with planning if we got a heads-up from you a week before your assignment is due if you think you won’t be able to turn in a story -- just hit the ‘default’ button on your My Assignments page if you need to. That way, we can send your assignment to a pinch hitter and ensure your recipient doesn’t go gift-less.

Am I guaranteed to receive a gift?

If you signed up for the exchange and turned in a story, you are guaranteed to receive a gift. If you default and your author does not, you will also receive a gift. If you default and your author defaults as well, you may not receive a gift, depending on availability of pinch hitters.

Can I make a fanmix/video/draw fanart instead of writing a story?

This is a writing exchange, so for your assignment, please stick to writing a story of at least 1,500 words. You’re welcome to add art, music, etc. to the story you wrote, but this is primarily a fanfiction exchange.

Can I write more than one story for my recipient?

Oh my god, you overachiever! :) Yes, you totally can. In that case, you’d post the extra gift as a treat, but you’re of course only asked to write one story.

What is a pinch hitter and how do I become one?

A pinch hitter fills in for somebody else who can’t complete their assignment and writes a story for that person’s recipient. A pinch hitter may be somebody who’s already participating in the exchange, but if you aren’t formally participating in the exchange and would like to pinch hit instead, you’re more than welcome to. If you’d like to pinch hit, please fill out the form any time after sign-ups begin (it will be linked here and/or posted on social media) or email us at [email protected].

Can I write treats?

YES. All requests will be made public after assignments go out and if you’re inspired by one (or more!) requests that aren’t your assignment, you’re welcome to write a little bonus story (=a treat) on top of your assignment for anybody else who signed up for the exchange. You may also write treats if you aren’t officially participating in the exchange. Treats do not have to fulfill the minimum word count and may be multimedia.

How do I find a beta reader for my story?

If you’d like another pair of eyes on your story before you publish it, you can email [email protected]. In the email, please tell us: the ship you’re writing, the word count of your story, and what kind of beta you need (for example: SPAG, structure, canon, special knowledge of [certain subject or matter], etc.) and we’ll try our best to connect you with someone to look it over for you, though we can’t guarantee it.

I would like to beta someone else’s story!

Great! Sign up using this form here and if anyone needs a beta, we may contact you with their request.

Posting

How do I post my assignment?

In the top right corner of AO3, where it says “Hi, [your username]”, select “My assignments” from the dropdown menu, find the Hot Pod Summer exchange and click “Fulfill”. You’ll be taken to a form where you can input your story, title, etc. Preview it, make sure it looks how you want it to, and click on Post. Your story will automatically post into the Hod Pod Summer collection as a gift to your recipient. It will remain unrevealed in the collection until an admin reveals it.

Can I edit my story after the deadline?

Yes, you can edit your story until it’s revealed, but please do not upload an unfinished story.

How do I post a treat?

Posting a treat works a little bit differently than posting your assignment. In order to post a treat, you have to visit the Hot Pod Summer collection page (you’re probably on it now if you’re reading this FAQ) and click “Post to collection”. This will take you to a posting form that has the collection name already filled in, so it’ll be posted in the right place. From there, fill in the AO3 name of your treat recipient manually and then input your title, story, etc., preview it to make sure it looks the way you want it to look, and then click on Post.

Story reveals

What are staggered reveals and why are you doing them?

Staggered reveals mean that we’re only publishing a small number of stories at a time every day, thus, you might get your gift on any day during the reveals period. We’re doing this so every story can get the attention it deserves and readers aren’t overwhelmed by a lot of stories dropping at the same time.

How do staggered reveals work?

We will email you the night before the story you wrote will go live (please check your email!). That way, you’ll have the chance to put that day’s date on your story and make sure it appears at the top of the collection once your story is revealed.

Do I have to comment on my gift?

Look, we can’t mandate it, but please comment on your gift. It’s the polite thing to do if somebody else took the time and effort to write a story for you.

Any other questions?

Email us at [email protected] and one of us will get back to you.

Caricature

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: Swearing

Genre: FLUFF, Humor, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Corpse receives a painting as a late gift for his birthday from his YouTube acquaintances. It’s safe to say the pleasant surprise made his whole week.

Requested by Anon. Hi hun! Thank you so much for your adorable request! I’m so terribly sorry it’s taken me so long to complete and post it but I still hope you come across it and read it even after all this time. If so, I hope you enjoy it! Love, Vy ❤

Y/N/N- Your nickname

“Ok, so I know a minute’s long passed since the birthday party I had but...“ In the camera frame that’s only capturing Corpse’s lower body appears a neatly and beautifully even wrapped rectangular gift. “Would you look at that? It came with a card signed by someone named Y/N/N and they said it was a birthday gift for me. Now...“ Corpse turns the large gift around as much as he can with the badly positioned grasp he has on it, “I don’t know anyone named Y/N/N and I wasn’t expecting any gifts even on my birthday let alone afterwards but here we are. While it could potentially be a deadly object like a bomb or a very well disguised serial killer, I made the obviously smart decision of brining it inside my home. It’s been sitting in my living room for hours now and it hasn’t exploded yet so I take that as a positive sign.“

In frame comes a small butter knife now too, held in Corpse’s hand. He motions towards the gift with it, “In case it really is a threat, at least I’ll get it on camera.” He laughs before carefully cutting the silver ribbon, leaving only the black wrapping paper separating him from the gift itself. He makes an incision directly in the front so the viewers can see the inside before he can. Tearing the wrapping paper he sees the back of what appears to be a canvas.

“Holy shit, no way.“ He mutters under his breath as he throws aside the torn paper and turns the canvas around so the painting is facing him, “No fucking way. Damn, God fucking damn. You guys saw it, right? This is fucking real and it’s fucking me!“ Hem momentarily gets distracted by a note that falls from the canvas’ back which he somehow didn’t notice previously. He picks the piece of paper up from the floor and reads the sender’s name out loud before opening it: “Paint Panther ~ little something to show my appreciation for one of the if not the greatest impostor in the history of Among Us. I promise I’m no stalker - you gave me your address yourself so I can send you a copy of the Amigops fanart I made two months back lol. Anyways, happy late birthday, Corpse, hope you like the gift. Sincerely, Y/N - Y/N/N - L/N.“

Suddenly it all clicks in his brain, reminding him of the beautiful piece of Amigops art that’s sitting in his room. “Holy shit, Y/N, your art just keeps getting better damn! I can’t thank you enough for this, it has to be the best gift I’ve ever received in my entire life. I mean, I look like a caricature next to your painting it’s so incredible. If looked at least half as good as you’ve drawn me, I’d be perfectly pleased. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay awesome, Y/N/N. You’re a straight up badass at what you do. Everyone watching, I encourage you to go on her channel and support her and her art. She really deserves it. I’ll leave all her social media links in the description, make sure to go check her out. I promise you, you’ll be mesmerized.“

Little does Corpse know, he just made Y/N’s day, none-the-wiser of the fact she is one of the thousands of viewers of the Instagram live.

The following is based solely on my own opinions and HCs

I can’t say that I ship Fitzier, and I can’t say that I don’t ship Fitzier either. They don’t consume my soul like Cropson does, and they don’t make me go all heart eyes like Bridglar, but at the same time, I acknowledge that they are an excellent ship.

I think maybe my ambivalence has something to do with the fact that I usually ship a grumpy mess with a soft cinnamon roll. And while Crozier is undeniably a grumpy mess, Fitzjames isn’t really a cinnamon roll to me. He’s like a big, glossy, sexy, fashionable horse. Vain and hard headed and self centered. He’ll yell at his men in order to keep their morale up. He’ll gossip about Francis behind his back to Sir John. He’s not necessarily a sweetheart. Which is fine. I like that about him a lot. That he’s not overly soft. But I just feel like Francis’ cragginess sort of butts up against James’ hard glossiness and just kind of... bounces off?

Then on the other hand, I absolutely ship them. How could you not? They’re a fantastic ship. Possibly one of the best I’ve ever come across in fandom. They have an amazing enemies to lovers/rivals to friends dynamic. They start out basically hating each other and end up all soft and tender with Francis gently stroking James’ face on his deathbed. They share incredible adversity and pain and their relationship slowly warms from rivals to grudging co-captains, to weeping and gazing at each other in the lamplight like Romeo and fucking Juliet. In canon. I mean COME ON. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I’ve watched fan vids over and over. I love the gif sets, the memes, the fanart (OH MY GOD THE FANART IS BEAUTIFUL). I’ve read one very good fic (but haven’t looked for more, because I’m pulled in too many other directions by ships that do consume my soul). So I absolutely see why anyone would ship them and ship them hard.

Maybe one day I’ll feel that way about them too. I find them interesting in that I don’t usually end up in this half-way place with ships. Especially ones this obviously good. I’ve never liked two characters so much who were so well matched, without going totally feral over them before, and that’s something I felt compelled to write about.

Thank you for listening to my rant. If anyone has any Fitzier fic recs, please send them my way! Maybe they’ll knock me into fully shipping them.
