Warnings: mentioned trauma, mentions of alcohol

- sometimes, your captain acts just a little odd. You’re used to it by now, though.

Sinking Iron; The Captain’s Log - entry 1: Gumusservi

You found the captain awake at an ungodly hour, standing by the ship’s railing like a shadow, staring at the light of the full moon glistening on the calm ocean waves.

Ayyy thanks for this 😊😊😊 it’s been a while since I’ve gotten asks for fic related stuff 💖

An Expected Encounter:

2 - what scene did you first put down?

~ I wasn’t much of a jump-from-one-scene-to-another type of writer at the time that I wrote this, and since the fic is really only one scene, I kinda just wrote it all in an evening 😅

9 - were there any alternative versions of this fic?

~ Not necessarily an “alternative” version but I did (and still do) plan on expanding on Sam’s dealings with Murdock (and the rest of the Pentas Family 😉) a little bit, specifically with how they teamed up against the alien meat dealers to get revenge on them. I think I sort of considered adding that to the original fic but ended up not doing that bc I wanted to save it for later.

13 - what music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

~ I’m not much of a music person when writing, and I can’t think of any songs that directly inspired this/got me in the mood to write it. I also can’t really think of any songs that would pair well with the fic except for *maybe* Mx Sinister from I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - which I admittedly haven’t listened to all the way through but it kinda gives off the same vibes as the fic to me 😊

Sinking Heart:

2 - what scene did you first put down?

~ This was still at a time when I didn’t jump around much between scenes, so the first scene I wrote is the first one in the fic 😅

9 - were there any alternative versions of this fic?

~ I was originally gonna include more stuff with the monster (aka Frank) and possibly some bits with Lucas’ death and the Rookie and Crumbs on the island (like in the secret ending of the game) but I changed my mind bc I thought a softer ending was more what I was shooting for. But that’s not to say there won’t be a Sinking Heart sequel at some point 👀
