Fics galore

First of all, I wrote this very silly set of text conversations between the mercs:

Here is a fic written entirely from Scout's POV, focusing on his relationship with the other mercs & his artistic side:

Here's a funny fic:

Here is an angsty fic (please do not read if depictions of character death, or mentions of heart attacks cause you discomfort or distress):

These last two are linked, by the way.

And here's the last chapter of My secrets are not your wrongs. It's smuuuuuuuuuut:

Fuck, My secrets are not your wrongs is over 16k words! That's almost long enough to be considered a short novella, or a novelette.

Fuck, I haven't had two active blogs at once in so long. I keep reblogging fanish stuff to this blog & uuuugh.

Good thing tumblr has that thing where it lets you follow your own blogs. I'd never catch these blunders without it

Forever fascinated at those feminist* posts that manage to be about 30% trans-supportive, and go:

"People who menstruate are affected by this terrible law, and men will never know how it feels to have their bodies treated as public property like that."

"If you are someone of any gender who has ever had to wear a bra because your breasts were heavy enough to hurt your back, I bet you wish that you could let men feel that pain for even just one day."

And like... They take such a long detour around saying "women" that you think "Oh, they are deliberately being trans inclusive, they're accepting that trans men aren't women and that trans women might not have this common-but-not-universal experience that is often needlessly essentialised to Womanhood when actually it's more about something unrelated." But then they go "MEN" in a way that slams home "Anyone who doesn't have this experience is ACTUALLY A MAN, anyone who has this experience is ACTUALLY A WOMAN, or if they persist in calling themselves men they should be thought of as a perpetrator of this problem rather than someone who experiences it."

Fanfiction Work-In-Progress Guessing Game

Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in

#reblog #i will do this for my tf2 fics #but if a word you send me shows up in any other fic or story im working on #ill also send it

Any hcs for the mercenaries?

Hi, this isn't a fandom blog! Nor is it an ask blog or anything like that! This blog is my blog for writing, advertising, & talking about trans issues, & I'd prefer to keep it that way, if you please.

If you'd like to resend this ask to @shephardofthedamned instead, which is my old BioShock blog I've decided to repurpose into a general fandom blog, then I'll answer your question!

#booker answers #no hard feels #its just that up-in-flames-writing is kinda part of my brand #& id prefer if it was kept to being just my writing blog

I can't believe so few people make Medic trans. Twinky Scout gets transed all the time, but the hunky doctor doesn't? The guy with canonically the fattest tits? The only one who could realistically do his own top & bottom surgeries, & probably also his own HRT? The most fruitiest of the mercs who insists on wearing a fucking white coat with stupidly long coattails into battle? & people still see him as cis, & sometimes even het too?

Justice for trans Medic, that man would trans his own gender in a split second just to see if he could.

#booker speaks #tf2 #tf2 medic #transgender #anyway. medic is an old ass trans guy & scout & soldier are his begrudgingly adopted trans sons #with pyro being his very lovingly adopted trans daughter #trans med supremacy + trans dad med supremacy #i am saying this as a very fruity transmasc myself by the way

What if I just... posted the first chapters of all 9 stories in the Ludwig Humboldt & the Horrible Case of Having Friends series, & just updated them whenever I feel like it? Not bother to finish Der Junge & Me, My Eyes, & I first, but just update all the stories whenever I want to because it's my story & I make the rules? What if?

#booker speaks #tf2 fanfiction #tf2 medic #because this series is about medic & his relationships with the other mercs #look i just really wanna post the story with him & pyro #& i know I should prolly finish der junge & me my eyes & i first #but i dont wanna wait that long before posting the other fics #especially since i write very hectically & have parts of the other parts of this series also already written]

Fic updates

Hoo wah! New fics... chapters. New fic chapters. Get ready for chapter 2 of Der Junge:

Second chapter to My secrets are not your wrongs:

And this less than 500 word one-shot I wrote for reasons of having TF2 brain worms:

Woo, I'm in there too! Forgot for a second I put my name down as Booker G. A Feniks, & not UpInFlames, ha! Ain't many Bookers around, that one's definitely me.

Say hello to our Zine of 2024 contributor team! We're so excited to have all of you on board and can't wait to see you do great things with us!

Keep an eye out for our contributor spotlights, coming soon!

Mistakes were made

So, no one seems to have bothered to tell me that the last link on this post is broken?

The fic is there, in my drafts, it looks like it's posted when I go onto it but not even my Hit count is updated so I don't bloody know.

Gah, anyway, I had to remake the fic & copy all the words onto a new fic, so here's the first chapter, & I'm gonna post the second one tomorrow if everything goes well.

As a reminder, this fic is a two-shot with an angsty first chapter & a smutty second chapter. The tags will end up containing spoilers once the second chapter comes out:
