I started reading your Devil's Poison fic and I just read chapter 17. Absolutely brilliant. Cruel but brilliant. The kind of just drama and angst that personally I love.
Thank you! Iām going to add some more content to the fic as I post it to AO3 for the first time, which includes more angst and drama. I hope youāll enjoy it on a re-read!

Yesterday afternoon I found Devil's Poison thanks to a blessed reblogā¦ What a great story woman!!! I don't know if my eyes burn so much from reading nonstop or from crying because you killed poor Etienne š it's the first fic that makes me wish Rogue would look at someone other than Remy, at least for a whileā¦ well, congratulations for such a good job and I hope you can continue it soon.
Yes, it was a hard decision to kill Etienne. The whole reason I changed the established comic timeline was because I wanted Gambit to have a second chance to save his cousin and also establish why he would still be with his family/not having learned some valuable lessons. But as the story progressed and took a life of its own, there was only one ending for Etienne and unfortunately that was the same as the comics had determined. It was very hard not to have Rogue consider a sweet, boyish Etienne for a relationship. But had I written some of the things the story tempted, Rogue would have broken the āmarriageā rules that Remy had initially indicated he would not honor. And I couldnāt hold him by those rules only to have her play loose and fast. So poor Etienne just had to die (again).
I adore your writing! especially when you write to the Gambit family.
Thank you very much! I have to say the LeBeau family has been one of my most favorite character profiles to explore. Thereās just enough content in the comics to give a general personality, but not so much established that there isnāt too little wiggle room to create a fully fleshed character. Iām going to have a hard time letting some characters go at the end of my fics, and havenāt decided yet if their same personalities will show up in other fics or if Iāll take the opportunity to start all over again!
Iāll have updates out soon, so I hope you enjoy them!
It hurts me that you haven't updated your ficsš I NEED to know what's going to happenā¦
I know. Iām sorry. It hurt me too that I couldnāt find my inspiration and muse for 2+ years. I hadnāt intended for that to happen, but thatās how much mental health issues impact your life. And for me, I had stopped being āmeā for quite a while. š«„š¤š¤ā¤ļøāš©¹
The good news is the situation causing the problem has passed and I am feeling my personality come back. I will be posting updates soon! Iām sorry youāve had to wait so long and I thank you heartily for your patience and devotion to the ficus. Iām very encouraged by your enjoyment and I hope you love the new stuff as it comes out!
hey sorry if this is a weird question but having just read Devil's Poison and An Hour After Midnight for the first time, do you feel the same excitement and titillation with hot scenes as we do as readers or are you used to writing erotic scenes? I hope you can update them soon, I love those fics!!!!
Not at all! Usually the way I know itās going to be a hit is if itās exciting to me. I figure other people will enjoy it too. Also, I try to vary things up so itās not the standard missionary style. Sometimes thatās a hit, sometimes it crosses a line that just ends up being too far. (I got some pretty opinionated reviews for the scene between Remy & Vivienne in Devilās Poison Ch 27 and ended up having to provide more explanation in Ch 28 for what I thought was implied. Itās also why Rogue didnāt have as much interaction with Baron Samedi in Ch 34.)
And I try to consider both male and female turn-ons (which is why Remy got the nut buster in Devilās Poison Ch 33). For the male, I use certain message boards and consult some very close friends to find out if I have a good depiction. Something I think is going to work often needs to be tweaked a little after I get male perspective.
As for getting used to it, sometimes. I found if every single chapter has a highly detailed lemon, then it just becomes desensitizing both to me and the reader. Sometimes I can get away with an implied cutscene, but sometimes even the reference is too much and it just has to be implied that Gambit & Rogue are a couple who probably has sex on a regular basis. And if a scene just isnāt coming across well, Iāll usually put it away for a couple days and come back to it (and maybe even scrap it to rewrite it.) We mere Homo sapiens arenāt sexed up horn dogs like Homo superiors are always depicted to be!
Finally for the update, Iām actually getting ready to post Devilās Poison on AO3. One of the reasons Iād been delaying was because I knew it had some (minor) continuity issues I wanted to correct. But itās also been a significant amount of time since I first published it and there are some (major) additions I had always wanted to put in but didnāt have the guts to do so way back when.
Keep an eye out for the postings and be ready to read from scratch because thereāll be enough new content to make a re-read totally worth it!

Name: CodeAliasWave
Fandoms (that I write for): Gambit and Rogue
Two-shot: Morning Sun (although this will probably be 4 chapters when all is said and done). I do one-shots and epics, but not really anything in between.
Most popular multi-chapter:Ā Devil's Poison followed by An Hour after Midnight
Actual worst part of writing:Ā Something that is forced, like a topic for a prompt or a scene that isn't going right. It's beyond writer's block but definitely not "in the groove" and comes across as forced upon re-read.
How you choose your titles: I let the fics pick their titles, but usually it has to do with some key theme in them. Longer stories tend to get multi-word titles whereas short ones are usually one word with a definition that sums up the story. If you ever want a clue other than the fic summary, look up the fic's title in the dictionary.
Do you outline: Only for multi-chapter/epic fics. If it's shorter than 5000 words, I can usually type it out in one go and don't need an outline. That being said, an idea will percolate in my head for a while before I put fingers to keyboard, so it's at least mentally outlined.
Ideas I probably wonāt get around to but wouldn't it be nice: I went to a country fair carnival and thought how fun it would be to write a Romy fic, but it really didn't go anywhere after the initial meeting. I may turn it into a one-shot though... š¤
Callouts @me: Not updating frequently enough. Sometimes I struggle to find the time, but sometimes I feel starved for good Romy content and Marvel hasn't been kind to us in recent years. It's hard to write when there's no food for the soul.
Best writing traits: Writing things that interest me, which is a very, very wide variety of content. And of course researching the content to make sure I write an accurate depiction of what is occurring.
Spicy tangential opinion: Gatekeeping. First, it kills any interest a new fan has. Second, it kills any passion an experienced writer who has read every scrap of available (official and unofficial) content on a character/fandom/ship. Like, seriously: a seasoned writer can ignore a flame or deconstructive negativity, but a gatekeeper can utterly destroy any desire to continue participating (in any form) in a fandom. Shame on those who are gatekeepers because they're killing their fellow fanbase and next generation that buys the merchandise to keep said characters/fandoms/ships part of published/released canon. There's a difference between kindly, patiently, and friendly guiding a new fan to a whole world of "new/unseen" content and shutting them down, blocking them out, and invalidating their ideas/opinions because they don't follow the ideal of the fanboy/girl who's a third generation fan. Go troll somewhere else, you asshat (calling it like I see it).
100 DoW Day 5: World Building
@the-wip-project asked: Whatās a world building detail in your WIP that you really like?
Yes, I know, I'm a day late. But where fighter jets are concerned, I'm outside with my face to the sky and a nose full of jet fuel instead of behind my computer. I'm going to answer this based on Devil's Poison because it's the WIP that really has the most world building in it, and that's because Marvel only created the bare minimum to set the scene in the Gambit solos for the Thieves and Assassins Guilds. Since very little has been published on page, it really was an area free to develop rituals, places, traditions, philosophical beliefs, and even lingo to a certain point. I think my favorite part was that writing both Guilds for Devil's Poison was almost a mini anthropological study. These are warring factions, so how would their GMCs differ? What traditions would develop over time and why? If they've been around at least several centuries (if not millennia), what was life like for early Thieves and Assassins? Was anything they did carried through time to the modern Guilds? Were they ever allies or were they always enemies? And taking all that into consideration, how does one go about building a fictional ancient civilization? So there was a lot of research that went in to building both of these worlds and that was a lot of fun.
Devil's Poison Chapter 39 is live!

Remyās brow knit in confusion. That didnāt make any sense. Even though he was a mutant, he was just as susceptible to injury or illness as any baseline human. Okay, maybe he could take a harder hit and heal a little faster, but that didnāt make him invulnerable or immortal. If Marius had wanted the guilds to remain enemies, he could have easily sent a small army to stop it. He certainly wouldnāt have needed some supernatural elixir toā¦
āMarius only adopted me fer one reason: ta raise me ta kill you.ā Rogueās words haunted his mind.
