#clairesail

It’s a thrill to see Ascent contributors Clairesail and Servojob team up on a scifi story set in a planet far far away, where Kirishima and Bakugou battle alien dangers during a homesteading initiative.

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

There are kind of two separate ideas that I had that kinda converged into this one fic. 1.) At some point, I wanted to write a fic about two queer kids getting together, without the focus being on coming out of the closet or on smut. 2.) I also really wanted Bakugou to cuddle someone. But at first, I couldn’t think of who he would let cuddle with him. Then I read chapter 90 and I decided that spiky redhead kiddo would work.

When I first started planning and drafting this fic, I wasn’t even going to have Bakushima be end goal. I didn’t really ship it at the time, but I adored their friendship. But then I had a friend who shipped it, and I didn’t mind the ship, so I decided to make it the actual pairing in the fic.

And uhhh by chapter 5 I shipped it, hardcore, and I wanted to make it as sappy and wholesome as I could, with just the right amount of angst (hopefully hahah). But that’s kinda what brought this fic about!

2: What scene did you first put down?

clairesail replied to your post: man I just got woken up by the doorbell and it was...

What an asshole

all that aint even the half of it, but I’ve already long ago decided he has nothing at all to offer me and indeed owes me both money and copious apologies. but I know he’ll never in his life have any of that to give because he’s never kept a job for more than 6 months, rarely paid his portion any of our shared bills, damaged or destroyed my material goods (up to and including trashing apartments [plural!] I had to pay for - or just abandon and take the credit judgement hit) and that was all before he got chris hansen’d and went to prison for like 3 years. and yeah I’m the dumbass who stayed his friend after all that but by the time i was in my 30′s I came to my senses and was happy to truly let go of all the people who brought BS into my life (he wasn’t the only one I have or had cut contact with during that time).

I really don’t say this lightly or metaphorically or poetically - he’s a disgusting filthy piece of crap. One time he had a dried nearly transparent glob of mayonnaise in his beard for 3 days. He literally smells bad. He looks and smells and downright acts homeless, even tho he’s not. There was a dead roach stuck in between the glass and the display screen of our microwave. I once opened an old TV to repair it a year after moving away only to find dozens of dead roaches inside. He ashes his filterless cigarettes into the front pocket of his shirt. He lets his cystic acne just burst as it will and never even so much as wipes it off. He taints every space he occupies. I could go on, obviously. Reckon that’s enough of the physically gross.

But that aint even the worst of it - he’s a hebephile and a convicted one at that and I already deeply regret not just completely cutting contact when he was arrested in the first place. I want nothin to do with his probation or w/e and I was really mad after he talked me into letting him move in the last time with the promise of helping split the bills and that he’d not be on my computer because probation says he’s not supposed to be but guess who came home to him on my computer, having not gone to get a job every day????? If he got in trouble, MY computer would get confiscated and searched! the fuck! clearly he doesn’t care who he puts at risk

And he shows up at 1pm on a 113F day on foot in clunky headphones carrying the usual tattered backpack, uninvited and clearly with nothing to offer.

Definitely a downside to living in the house you grew up in, bah
