Everything that's going on

Pour moi, c'est cette phrase (qui m'a poignardé en plein cœur) :

The previous years, what he truly wished for was for the money used to buy him useless presents he was expected to keep would instead be given to those in need. Now that he controls the finances of his family, however, he can already regularly give money to charities, so the urge isn't so unbearable anymore, even though he still wished this was something he could ask for.

But when William agrees with Lord Rockwell's statement that Albert should choose what he wants to do on his birthday, and Louis performs the slightest nod in agreement, inspiration strikes.

He knows exactly what he wants to do on his birthday: and that is to spoil his precious little brothers rotten.

ToBeLonely

Of the original scenarios I've imagined (but not written, I've never been an active writer) for many different fandoms, all the way back to my first ones, many center on that trope ; it's also something I look for a lot in fics.

Exemples of that trope from my reading and/or imagining : identity reveals in Miraculous or Spy x Family ; the Marauders discovering Remus' lycanthropy in HP ; the Elrics or their team finding out about Mustang and Hawkeye's common past (possibly Riza's tattoo) in Fullmetal Alchemist (manga/Brotherhood) or from that very specific series of books I read as a kid that I hope will get more appreciation now that it's being adapted into a cartoon by a French studio, what-if scenarios of one character's past (which was published after the main series) actually having an impact on the main series (I mean it does, a tiny bit, but it's a small side note in the story and could have played a bigger part).

And while I do have a few words documents with drafts of scenes for this fic (some for the next chapter, some much further in the future), in the last couple months I have drafted a dozen different stories which can all be summed up to "Albert talking about his feelings with William, the both of them hugging and crying in each other's arms with some Louis sprinkled in" - which was also the theme of the one-shot I published.

It's kind of crazy how many times you can write the exact same thing yet make it somehow different.

Apart from this very specific trope, and my multi-chapters fic, I have two other drafts which are multi-chapters fic I will most likely never write because I only have vague ideas for those (and I already have a hard enough time writing a multi-chapters fic I have a much more developed concept for).

That's over 70 names of public figures on my own in - well I didn't time it, but at most 30 mins. Probably closer to 15. I would have struggled to get to 100 in a reasonable time, but I'm well over the 50 needed per person if you do it in a team.

Jeanne currently has a 24 points lead, so in order for them to have the exact same score after tomorrow's race, we need them to place (Jeanne/Océane respectively) : 7/3 or 10/4 or 15/5 or 20/6 or 26/9 or 28/11 or 29/13 or 30/15.

These scenarios also gives us an idea of whether Jeanne keeps or looses the blue bib if Océane is ahead.
