12. If you work, what is your profession and do you like it?

“ i wish that i was as invisible as you make me feel. ”

“ i want to hate you half as much as i hate myself. ”

“ you’re the only one who feels like home. ”

“ i’ve never really lived more than an hour. ”

“ i stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me.”

“ maybe he won’t find out what i know... you were the last good thing about this part of town. ”

“ you need him. i could be him. ”

“ i’m still trying, and that’s more than i can say for him. ”

“ i hate the way you say my name, like it’s something secret. ”

“ hide the details. i don’t want to know a thing. ”

“ when you catch fire, i wouldn’t piss to put you out. ”

“ hope this is the last time, ‘cause i’d never say no to you. ”

“ where is your boy tonight?”

“ tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that i can’t say. ”

“ when you go, i will forget everything about you. ”

“ said i loved you, but i lied. ”

“ you can thank your lucky stars that everything i wish for will never come true. ”

“ i believed every lie that you said. ”

“ you want apologies? you might hold your breath forever. ”

“ at the end of the day, you know where we come from and where we call home. ”

“ we’ll leave this town in ruins. ”

“ there’s a song on the radio that says ‘let’s get this party started’.”

“ tonight is all about ‘i miss you’.”

“ you’ll have to prove it to me. ” 

“ i know my place. it’s no where you should roam. ”

“ somehow, it was like you were the first to listen. ”

“ when it all goes to hell, will you be able to say ‘i’m sorry’ with a straight face? ”

“ i still know the way to make your makeup run. ”

“ there’s no way to talk to you. ”

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

Currently? 11 on my main, and 40 on my previous account. I have a lot of deleted works though, and orphaned, so i actually don't know how many. 😅

2. what's your total word count?

547,198 between my two accounts ^^

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Actively writing for TG/TG:M and dipping my toes in The Pitt (shhh, don't tell anyone). I've written for RWRB, 9-1-1: Lonestar, Riverdale, BTS, GOT7, SKZ, Teen Wolf, MHA, Haikyuu, and probably some I forgot 😭

4. top 5 fics by kudos

Going only by my most recent stuff ^^ We beat the odds together You got my heart racing (RWRB) Something' to prove You stole him from me Scared of nothing (and I'm scared to death)

5. do you respond to comments?

Yes ^^ I try to respond quickly, but sometimes they stack up and I get a little overwhelmed, but I do my best and love each one. 🖤

6. what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hnnnng, uhm. About 5 years ago I wrote an MCD selfcest thing based off a MV and it was such a fun thing to explore lol

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I definitely try to end on a happy note, but my favourite recently is from We beat the odds together - I love happy endings and people finding love later in life. 🖤

8. do you get hate on fics?

Not necessarily hate, but I did get a somewhat negative comment on You stole him from me LOL

9. do you write smut?

Yes, haha. My husband says it's funny cause I'm ace, so my lack of sexual desire is just explored by writing two men bonk in every possible way imaginable.

10. do you write crossovers?

I want to, but I usually just insert my current ship/type of media into another universe and go from there lol

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, but thankfully it got taken down ^^

12. have you ever had your fic translated?

Only one, but it was so cool! I was thrilled to be honoured by that 🥺

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! A few times, and they've been mixed results. It's really fun to explore how vastly different two writer's can imagine and explain a scene based off simple prompt points. My best friend and I co-wrote a reader insert fic a while ago and it was god awful, lmfao, but really fun.

14. what's your all-time favorite ship?

Oh god, I'm the biggest, worst simp for sterek. And bakudeku 🥺 I've read....so many fics of them. (there's a reason my history has surpassed 800 pages 😅) But for writing???? God, I love writing hangster. They're so fun and there's so many possibilities and their characters are just so exciting.

15. what's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There's a few I have that I would like to get done, but highly unlikely that I will. Notably a soulmates au that features magical realism, werewolves, firefighter x nurse LOL

16. what are your writing strengths?

I like to think I'm decent at writing about people being in love - I just adore explaining it, literally scouring thesaurus to find words to encapsulate just how goddamn whipped these two souls can be. 🥺🖤

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

ACTION!!! I legit am so uncomfortable writing action scenes, like I feel like I'm overusing words, not explaining stuff in a coesive, easy to understand way. It's a mess, haha. My husband likes to challenge me to write more (hense the want for me to write a POTC hangster au) but i still feel super awkward doing so haha

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

Spanish, only sometimes. If it fits. But I mostly keep to English cause it's easier for everyone if they didn't have to translate in the middle of a scene lol. When it's done well though, OH MAN, it's fun to experience.

19. first fandom you wrote for?

Technically, Naruto. LMFAO

20. favorite fic you've ever written?

I'm in the midst of writing my pacific rim hangster au and it's been SO much fun, but if we're talking about posted works, I'd say Scared of nothing because I loved researching a bunch for it, and trying to make it not sound horribly like a cruise infomercial LOL

that was fun! ^^

^^^ Hiya Tex 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Helllllllo lovely Abby

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Ooh a hangster one!!! I headcannon that Jake stress bakes! Different stressor = Different bakes. I love the thought of him learning at a young age how to bake and using it as an almost tactical tool, all very concise and by the book (or recipe, wtv) !!

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

LOL so for you stole him from me I had to look up what types of injuries someone could sustain from [REDACTED] without dying and how long would it take to notice if your brake line was cut 😅 I'm sure my fbi agent is having a blast

🛼 ⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis

Oh gosh, uhhhhh 🏒🥴🥵🖤🔥 lol

Thank you for playing and the ask! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Ooh, thank you!

Blue: What’s your favorite type of pie?

Definitely a good strawberry pie.  If you make it a triple berry with raspberries and blueberries, all the better!

Junayd had barely gotten a hello in before Len went off on their-- what was it? Rant? Tyrade? Junayd wasn’t able to tell until the memory sprung into his head. Ah, their date, right. 

“And so, we then began making our way to this garden, and I know what you are thinking, Len? Do you even like plants? But you have to get this- it was like-” Len’s voice managed to sound more like buzzing over the phone.   “Mm” was about all Junayd had time to say between Len’s very brief pauses.
