(ro) accord + 4, 5, 10, 13 - for the fic ask meme!!
Aaa thank you for asking!!! Accord is my post-Rebels Star Wars fic ft Thrawn/Eli/Nightswan for those who are interested
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
Dialogue not so much - mostly cause there's not a lot of talking between our boys at the moment - but I really adore this lil bit from Ch3 when Thrawn sees Cygni for the first time post-Batonn:
He couldn’t understand, and for some reason the first thought to pass through his still-hazy mind was that surely if Cygni had survived, he would have known. He would have been the first to know, perhaps the only one to know. Why hadn’t he known?
5: What part was is hardest to write?
I'm still writing the dang thing so uhhh the all of it still to be written! Chapter 6-9 is giving me pains just trying to figure out pacing and the um "meta" narrative I want to include somehow but yeah! I'm trying to get out of this funk and back into writing ;;
10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particular story?
I chose my throuple because I love Nightswan and he deserves to be alive and happy and also full of angst and also have two boyfriends. Nightswan/Thrawn is good bcs narrative foils, parallels, equals, rivals, the drama and frought tension of enemies to friends to lovers and Nightswan/Eli is good because I started shipping it one day and realised there's such potential there cause 'Swan is like Thrawn and could easily play a similar mentor role in an AU but also imagine these two bonding over having to deal with Thrawn's Shit TM all the time (and also Eli clearly has a type and Swan fits it). Thrawn/Eli I need not explain (they were roommates). But most of all I chose this ship because I can. Though, would you believe me I initially planned Accord as a Thranto featuring Third Wheel Nightswan fic? Ridiculous. Don't know what I was thinking.
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
Oh man I have a selection of songs that fit all three of these pairings. But as a general guide for Nightswan (who is the driving force and main POV of this fic) his vibe is Mumford & Sons, Kaiser Chiefs and Marina and the Diamonds (esp Electra Heart era). All the chapter titles are based on song lyrics which either are just a pun on whatever happens in the chapter, or have some emotional resonance with it.
