For the Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
Thank you for the ask 😊
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
I'll try to share one from each fandom. I'm usually an angst writer, so truly funny scenes that make me laugh are usually few and far apart 😅
For Roswell, New Mexico I have this little gem from Three Makes a Family:
“Alex! Lovely to hear from you. Would be even better if you bothered to stop by the bar once in a while.” He detects the smidge of pain behind the joy in her voice. How long has it been since he went to see his best friend, just the two of them? “I’m parenting. Trying to be responsible, that kind of thing.” “Funny, Michael said exactly the same thing when he showed up this morning.” “Talking about my dear husband, can you please remind him to pick Emma up at 2:30 for her appointment? And that if he forgets to pick her up again, he’ll be sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future?” “You just wanted to call him your husband again, didn’t you?” “Maybe a little.” The corner of his lips lifts at the words. Part of him still can’t believe he’s married to Michael Guerin.
And for Star Wars here's a snippet from the - yet unpublished! - 2nd part of my Skywalker Dyad Saga:
She shimmied alongside the branch she was sitting on to the large trunk. The next branch down wasn’t too far, and Kat’s height allowed her to reach it without effort. She leaned on it with one foot, hanging onto the higher branch with her left hand, trying to find another foothold further down. “We couldn’t bring a ladder. Of course not. Jedi have to prove they can do everything by themselves,” she muttered to herself. Slowly, Kat made her way down the tree. It was a lot longer down than it had been to climb up. The hour of gathering had taken a toll on her energy. She could barely feel her shoulders and arms anymore, and the skin of her hands had been scratched by the rough bark digging into her palms. She was halfway down when her right foot slid from the knot she’d chosen as a hold, sending her barreling down. Kat yelled as she fell. Her body rotated until she was facing the ground — and her impending doom. She had the reflex to throw her hands out in front of her to soften the impact, even as she knew in the back of her mind that it was an incredibly stupid idea. The bones in both her arms would break as soon as she hit. Kat closed her eyes, breathed in, and… nothing. She opened her eyes to see that, instead of making a hole deep as her body length, she hadn’t even touched the ground. Instead, she floated a few inches over the brown earth and low grass of the path they’d taken to the tree. As soon as she realized it, her unconscious control on the Force ceased and she dropped face first into the dirt. Kat sat up, spitting out the local flora.
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
Yes. I overshare (a beautiful autism trait that regularly puts me in awkward positions) so my friends, a few colleagues and my parents know. None of them know my Ao3 usernames or the names of my fics though, just the fandoms.
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
A very good question...
As I said, I write mostly angst. And I do tend to write long fics (my unfinished RNM fic is 45k and the SKywalker Dyad Saga is at 95k written so far) so I dive into a lot more angst and hurt/comfort than sweet. But my songfics tend to be more on the mellow side.
I think The One (my Echo RNM songfic) is probably the sweetest. Like bubblegum ice cream sweet.

Hi Kat! ✨ 🙋‍♀️ 🤗 💔
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
I like the way I can add a character into an established narrative pretty easily, and then create AUs from that.
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
I answered this in Yanna's ask. My best friend used to, but I don't think she still does.
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
Just write and write. It doesn't have to be good to begin with because part of the process is learning. I cringe so much when I read the first few things I ever wrote, but without them I wouldn't be the writer I am today.
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?
There are several, but the ones that come to mind straight away are The Foundations of Decay, This is How I Disappear, and the last chapter and epilogue of Nightmares and Bruises
❤️❤️❤️

steve harrington x reader, better than the movies au, fake dating, enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, slight jonathon x reader, no upside down, fluff to angst to fluff, happy ending, canon-divergent characters, slow updates
♥︎
Steve Harrington is practically the bane of your existence. He’s god awful and he knows it. But when your childhood crush comes to town, he’s the only one who can help you win him over.
But soon enough the lines between hate and love become blurred, and suddenly you find yourself falling for someone you never thought possible.
♥︎
🝮

Chapter one ❣︎ uh oh, i’m fallin’ in love
Chapter two ❣︎ i’ve got a blank space, baby (and i’ll write your name)
Chapter three ❣︎ that boy is mine

hey kat <3
could i request a Steve Harrington hurt comfort or angst where r and Steve and the others make it out of the upside down(s4), but r is injured and she doesn't realise it until they actually get back to hawkins.
the adrenaline's just masking any pain they're all feeling, but when they climb through the gate at eddies trailer and reader falls on the mattress, she winces. Steve asks her about it when they finally get to his house, after it's all over and done with.
you can totally ignore this if it's not your cup of tea. but thanks anyways love<3
✩ I hope this is alright, i wrote it as soon as i woke up 👩‍💻. didn’t proofread it so im really sorry for any mistakes !! thanks for the ask <3
Steve’s hurt. It’s the only thing your mind can focus on beneath skull mountain. Steve’s hurt and you weren’t there to protect him.
The bats had held onto him as if he was the best thing they’d ever tasted, and even with your pushing and pulling, it took way longer to get them off of him then you would’ve liked. Your mind couldn’t even focus on your own injuries, particularly the large gash on your thigh from the bats claws, but instead on Steve’s face constructed in pain.
“I’m sorry,” You breathed, wrapping your shirt scrap onto his gaping wound. His normally tan skin was paled, brown eyes dilated slightly.
You watched as the shirt began to seep into a light pink color and tightened it more to stop the blood flow, and Steve hissed as you did. You froze at the noise, mind running with different outcomes and worries.
“Hey, hey,” Steve reassured, back sliding down the rock so he could be eye-level with you. He winced as he did. “I’m okay.” He spoke softly, reaching a hand out to cup your cheek. “We’re all okay.”
You gazed around at all your friends, Robin and Eddie are nursing each others wounds, while Nancy takes care of her own. You’d always admired the girl for her resilience and independence.
To be honest, sometimes you almost felt jealous of the girl. Steve had been in love with her for so long before he finally started to fall for you last summer at Starcourt, but sometimes you couldn’t help but feel like those feelings they had for each other never fully went away.
You sucked in a breath, “I know. It’s just.. what if-”
“Don’t think about the what ifs,” He spoke, pink lips slightly glossy, “We’re here now, and we’re okay. Alright?”
You squeezed your eyes shut and focused on your breathing. Sometimes, it was still hard for you to comprehend that this was your life now. After the disaster at Starcourt and you’d been exposed to this entire situation, sometimes you still just couldn’t believe how many times these people had put their lives on the line.
“You promise you’re okay?” You asked solemnly, shoulders slightly slumped. Steve just grinned and rubbed your arm gently, “I promise,” He eyed your figure, “Are you okay?”
You nearly scoffed. Steve had chunks of flesh missing from his stomach and he was asking if you were okay? “I’m fine, Steve.”
He squinted his eyes at you suspiciously, “Are you sure? We’ll take care of it if you are. Don’t be a hero.”
“I’m not being a hero. I’m just not hurt.”
Steve, being so exhausted and delirious from the blood loss foolishly believed you. He kissed the side of your head softly and followed you as you followed Nancy to the Wheeler residence.
His first sign should’ve been when you nearly stumbled down the stairs. He’d been there to catch you, eyebrows knitted as he helped you steady. “What happened?” He asked.
You let out an awkward chuckle, going a bit pink at everyone’s concerned gazes. “I’m fine,” You spoke softly, “Just lost my balance.”
Nancy hummed, but she didn’t look convinced. Once everyone left the room to figure out what the hell Steve was yelling about, she pulled you aside. “You’ve been quiet ever since Skull Rock. Did you get hurt?”
You swallowed. The adrenaline rush you had felt was slowly waning away, leaving you to feel every bit of the long gash on your thigh. “I’m fine.” You spoke, thankful that your black leggings hid the dark red substance slowly leaking from you, “Just exhausted.”
Nancy still didn’t look convinced, her eyes glimmering slightly as she sucked in her bottom lip, “If something’s wrong we can figure out a way to help you, okay?” She took a breath, her eyes downcast. “If.. if you’re hurt and- and god forbid something were to happen to you Steve would never forgive himself. You can’t do that to him.”
You knew she was right, Steve didn’t deserve that. He didn’t deserve to lose someone else after everything he’s suffered, but you firmly believed you’d be okay. If anything, you’d just need a few stitches and then everything would be okay. Which is why you say, “I’m fine. Promise.”
❣︎
You were more than just relived when you made it to Eddies trailer. You were practically ecstatic. You were ready to get out of this hellhole and finally take care of your wound.
But, you should’ve known that nothing would be okay, not after Nancy’s vision. You and Steve watched as she fell over, the both of you attempting to shake her awake while everyone else rushed to find a song.
But, Nancy wouldn’t need it, and instead would wake on her own with a message from Vecna.
Steve let Nancy go first, her body hitting the mattress softly. Robin helped her up, offering her hand which Nancy gratefully took.
Next, it was your turn. Steve helped you down, his cold hand on your lower back gently dropping you down.
But, unlike everyone else, you couldn’t get up from the mattress. The fall winded you, and the pain on your leg increased tenfold. You let a quiet whine when you tried to stand on it, immediate tears springing to your eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Steve called down in a panic stricken voice.
“I’m- I’m fine.” You replied hoarsely, attempting again to stand and being unable to.
Eddie gazed down to where a large pool of blood was beggining to form on the mattress beneath your leg,band his face immediately paled.
“Shit, shit, shit,” He chanted, “You gotta get down here, man!” He called. Eddie graciously slipped his ringed fingers under your back and knees, carrying you away from the mattress and towards the couch.
You barely heard Steve’s body hit the bed as he jumped down, but you felt his presence as soon as Eddie set you down. “Shit, how long has- why didn’t you-”
You could feel Steve’s panic, and it made you want to scream. This wasn’t supposed to happen. You were supposed to be okay, and everything would’ve been fine.
But even now you can feel the unnerving exhaustion the blood loss is making you feel, and you know that’s not going to happen.
“I’m sorry.” You spoke softly, eyes glassy with tears as you began to accept your fate.
Steve was yelling for them to get help, his own eyes wet and wide.
He attempted to put pressure on the wound, and at this point you couldn’t even feel the pain anymore. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He chanted, voice wobbly.
“I’m sorry,” You swallowed, “I didn’t want to worry you.”
“I told you not to be a hero!” He cried, “You- you said you were okay.”
“I know,” You shushed softly, “You’ll be okay.”
Steve froze for a moment, letting your words process. You didn’t say I’ll be okay, you said He’d be okay. While the change was slight, he understood what it meant.
“You’ll be okay too,” He attempted, voice weak. “We’re gonna be okay, and we’re gonna get that apartment in Indianapolis that we talked about, okay? We’re gonna move outta Hawkins like we said we would.”
You smiled softly at the memory, remembering all the sweet nights where you laid naked in his bed, drawing soft patterns on his back. You’d talk for hours about your futures. About marriage and kids and growing old together.
You just wish you could’ve seen it happen.
“Can you remind me?” You asked softly, eyelids heavy. “About our life after we get married?”
Steve let out a quiet sob. He’d stopped his attempts at putting pressure on your leg, he knew it was too late. There wasn’t anything he could do.
“We’re gonna-” He sniffled, hand reaching for your own and squeezing it tightly. “We’re gonna get married in the forest, just behind Hoppers house with the Gazebo. And we’re gonna move into a beautiful apartment in the city, with green shudders and- and-” He paused momentarily, a tear slipping down his cheek.
You squeezed his hand softly, encouraging him to keep going. He took a breath, glassy eyes staring at your paling face. “We’ll have three kids. Two boys and a girl, and they’ll have a cat named Penny. They’re gonna- gonna get older and they’ll all go off the college, and we’ll have so much space we won’t know what to do with ourselves.” He chuckled softly, “We’ll spend every day with each other. Doing all that sappy, old people stuff. And- and we’ll grow old together and we’re gonna live happy, okay? I just- you just gotta-”
He allowed himself to risk a glance at your face, and he wished he hadn’t. Your eyes were closed, a soft smile tugging on your pale lips, and he knew what it meant.
You were gone. Just like that.
And even as the police arrived and Eddie attempted whatever story he could put together onto why you all looked so.. well, roughed up, Steve couldn’t even listen.
All he could focus on was your body slowly being zipped away.

The night is cold. That much Steve knows. He knows his torso is bloody with the remnants of scratches and bite marks. He knows that even as he feels weak and broken, he’s never felt more grateful.
Because even though he nearly died, even though he’d been in a literal alternate dimension, he got to walk home with you.
Your light, your kindness, it’s what made all this worth it. If you asked him to, he would’ve crawled right back into Vecna's lair and fought him with his own two hands.
“Stevie?” You mumble. Steve looks down at you, your lips chapped and cheeks dirty with grime and sweat. He’s not sure you’ve ever looked more beautiful.
“Yeah?”
Your lips twitch up into a smile, “Let’s go home.”
It’s that request that lets Steve’s shoulders fall. His body physically deflates as he lets himself bask in your gaze. He nods lazily, “Okay.”
