Saw Rainbow Rowell’s post recently where someone asked if Dev and Niall would like Simon and she said she didn’t know much about them because she didn’t need to for the story and that is SO funny to me with the way they are absolutely everywhere in fanon. These boys disappeared for two books only for Dev to show back up for two pages and ask if Baz was done sucking cock and they have the most fics on ao3 of any non-canon couple (and more than anyone except the two main canon couples). Absolute legend behavior.

a @mooncello and @monbons collab with special guests @whatevertheweather, @artsyunderstudy & @emeryhall
Eighteen months after leaving his former band—the globally famous ICARUS—Niall Connelly returns to music, with a new sound and new music partner.
His best friend and ICARUS guitarist, Baz Pitch, immediately supports him.
His shiny new bandmate, Simon Snow, is an unknown and mesmerizing talent.
His fans are obsessed.
And his ex, Dev Pitch, the frontman and lead vocalist of ICARUS, has a million unanswered questions ... and he's also still stupidly, entirely, helplessly in love.
Summary: Simon promised Baz he'd keep getting better for him. That he'd try. So why is he suddenly getting all these mysterious packages? And why is he keeping all these secrets?
A story about what it takes to choose your people, to choose love, and to choose yourself.
something about maura being the one to suggest maybe the reason niall isn't willing to lie for ruben is bc maybe he is also gay. ruben brushes it off in the retelling like it was a joke almost, but i have to wonder how serious of a suggestion that was and how ruben and lori reacted in the moment.
Deniall + SnowBaz I M (for now) I ongoing I Non-magical AU, fake dating, mutual pining, dancing to terrible consequences.
Summary: Dev takes Niall to the Grimm Annual Ball as his fake date. He thinks it’s a genius idea.
Everyone else seems to disagree.
A choose how the story goes fic for @10daysto1k.
Read Dance with me? on AO3.
I've decided to make this a little more interactive by giving people a choice of which prompt I'll use for tomorrow's chapter.

The fact that Niall spells his eyes blue is sad to me. Niall, dude I’m sure Dev loves ur big brown eyes 💔 :(
Deniall fic please where Dev tells Niall he loves his eyes bc he catches Niall spelling them blue. But they’re not dating yet. Bc then it adds to the yearning and stuff.
Happy Sunday, friends ♥️ Thank you @monbons and @mooncello for the tags, I am tantalised and entinced by your collab sneak peaks!
Two posts in a week? I’m being uncharacteristically on it, apparently. But not TOO on it. Chronic fatigue hit HARD in September and I’ve only just nagivated my way out of it. As a result, I’m desperately trying not to put too much pressure on myself, even though that means limiting what I do for enjoyment as well as work.
That said, something amazing happened the other day. Having been unable to write a single word of Snow On Ice for weeks without heaps of self doubt, I was listening to a writing podcast when inspiration (and my meds, which have not worked in weeks thanks to fatigue being too powerful) finally hit. When I came out of my inspired fugue state I’d written a 2300 word draft for the final section of the chapter. Woo!! It still needs a loooot of cleaning up, and putting into first person POV, but it felt like a big step forward.
Sentences and more ramblings under the cut.
So without further ado, here are some (disjointed/ no context) sentences from this draft:
Racing has everyone's heartbeat up. Dev and Shep are going a great job of instigating new and ridiculous games, Niall is laughing and doesn't complain when Dev tackles them, lifting them off their feet and throwing them over his shoulder in a graceless fireman's lift that Niall defies with all the confidence of a well trained dancer, spreading their arms and straightening their legs so it looks like they're flying backwards.
Paralysed with what he'd done, Simon could only stare as Baz was helped off the ice. The animosity had only grown from there, the small ridge in the middle of Baz's formerly perferct nose a constant reminder they would only ever be rivals.
Baz is not ready for the sudden movement. Instead of dodging, all Simon can think is 'nipples' before Baz crashes into him and they tumble over in a heap.
I’m excited to share the rest with you. I’m really pleased with how some of the moments in this section are coming together. And I’m SO GLAD I decided to ditch all semblemce of good writing in order to get a draft done in third person- seriously, I didn’t even write it in the same document as the rest of the chapter. Anything to trick myself into CHILLING TF OUT. I normally find writing in first person way easier (I tend to get very method, thinking and feeling like the character I’m writing), but apparently a bit of distance from this section was exactly what I needed to help figure out what I wanted to say.
When I started writing it for CORB last year, SOI was one of the first fanfics I’d ever made for public consumption, and for this fandom. I mention this now as I try to remind myself not of the work I still have left, but of the work I've already done, the challenges I’m overcoming, and how these are things I need to let myself celebrate. As it currently stands, this chapter’s wordcount is going to be about 12K (excluding the bits I’ve cut) which means my total word count after only 3 chapters is just under 28K. That makes SOI the longest thing I’ve written to date, ever. (Obviously length isn’t everything, but it’s showing me I have staying power and I’m glad to have gotten this far with it, even if it will take years to finish at my current pace.)
And as an aside, thank you so much to everyone who commented and tagged my wipsday post this week. I’m so glad you all like Cygnus (even though he’s an ass). I can’t tell you how encouraging it's been and how much it’s motivated me to start working on other bits I can share with you. Thank you for your kindness and enthusiasm, you’re all wonderful beautiful people and I am so fricking blessed to have you share my weird little Crowman world.
I hope you’ve all had a good week. Hugs, cute crows and little apple slices (to share with the crows) to you all!
