Hiya! I'm Phantom. 👻💎

As always, I'm not the writer that has an outline and a general foundational plan to build around. I just type train of thought style, with minimal chances of me editing along the way. So for me to attempt to edit the story, at all? I guess we can call that character growth.

And so with 14k words in the barrel and SO much more included than just "Lance is hyped about the upcoming Wicked movie and drags Keith along for the ride," here's a non-spoiler snippet that doesn't require any context! 😌

Okay tumblr just might be the better place to blah and otherwise expand upon current fascinations regarding my upcoming fic lol. Love BlueSky so far (please go follow that, same handle @aphantomdiamond.bsky.social), but the character limit kills me every time.

SO. Wicked, and how it relates to the fanfic lol. Would it be so surprising if it's really just an excuse for me to slap my experience with Wicked onto a Klance narrative? Maybe, considering this blog really was initially meant JUST for my twilight fanfic and the fandom overall. And, ya know, the fact that i haven't really posted anything outside of that fic as well. I guess I'm trying to rectify that.

And hell, I don't wanna give spoilers, but cmon. Surely we can acknowledge a similar dynamic between our favorite sapphic witches and our favorite achilliean idiots? "What Is This Feeling?" can be klance as FUCK if you think about it!! Because, like Elphaba and Glinda, there is something undeniable between Lance and Keith, ya know? No matter what is there in canon or was possibly intentional and likely unintentionally implied via subtext, these two sets of people have some overarching overlap.

And while I truly do not have the capacity to slap klance into a wicked AU (the logistics alone are giving me palpitations lmao), what I can do is maybe draw in-story parallels, point out that Something There that can maybe remain unspoken between two people who are inexplicably drawn to each other for one reason or another. To maybe posit that Something There can be Something More, ya know???? 🥹

Oh, and I just gotta say, it really was the Broadway soundtrack that brought me into loving Wicked. I didn't give a fuck about it until far after the first movie trailers were dropped, then got sucked into the visual narrative waiting to be told via the first film. I truly did fall in love with the story of these two witches thanks to the soundtrack, and did my best (and failed) to NOT research too much into the story to save myself for the movie lol. And now I'm in love with both the Broadway recording and the film soundtracks in equal and differing measure!!

I figured some sort of visual enrichment might be beneficial, for whomever might be so much as marginally interested in where my brain has been focused lately. Maybe? As a treat?

Oh yeah, as I more or less abandoned this account due to Life, I hadn't posted the final update for BBBBAU!! Which i finished this past July! 😅 Thank whoever for your patience on the tumblr front lmfao. (Also posted A chapter, one (1) of my take on Midnight Sun, with likely no promises for more, so maybe check that out too?)

Chapter 59:

Also, I haven't posted anything there yet, but I have created a BlueSky account for my AO3, too, if anyone is there! I might be posting a lot more there tbh, in general per whatever I might have next for fanfic, as it's just so easier to jump between accounts there lol.

No promises, but I'll do my best to post links here, at the very least, for whatever my fanfic future holds! 👀

All the same, so concludes my Twilight Saga, thank everyone who has stuck with me this long either here on tumblr for Bel and his story!! 🥹
