I think you meant to send this to @thedragon-and-hisboy? But I'm gonna be a good sport!

And I'm definitely going to dreamily sigh.

Thinking about Throk pushing his head down when they were all first captured by the Defenders.

Hiccup needs to be uncomfortable. Needs to be handled in not-soft ways.

@febuwhump is just around the corner (how can February be next week?!), and I thought I would share my plans for this momentous occasion. I've actually already gotten days 1-11 as well as day 19 written, and I'm still pumped to write more. I've got all the stories themselves planned out, but I'm leaving the details until I publish. However, here's a list of the prompts and the fandoms and whumpees (note - I'm doing several alternate prompts, so my list may look a bit different from other people's).

2) "i can't take this anymore" (Merlin, whumpee Arthur)

3) imprisonment (Tales of Arcadia, whumpee Jim)

4) impaling (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

5) "take me instead" (Tales of Arcadia, whumpee Douxie)

6) insomnia (Tales of Arcadia, whumpee Jim)

7) poisoning (Psych, whumpee Shawn)

8) "hey, hey, this is no time to sleep" (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

9) buried alive (Psych, whumpee Shawn)

10) "i'm sorry, i didn't know" (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

11) gunpoint (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

12) hostage situation (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

13) hiding injury (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

14) "i didn't mean it" (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

15) "run. don't look back" (Psych, whumpee Shawn)

16) broken bones (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

17) identity reveal (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

18) "i can't see" (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

19) sleep deprivation (Tales of Arcadia, whumpee Douxie)

20) betrayal (Merlin, whumpee Morgana)

21) torture (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

22) burned (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

23) "don't look" (Tales of Arcadia, whumpee Jim)

24) memory loss (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

25) allergies (MacGyver, whumpee Mac)

26) recovery (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

27) "i wish i had never given you a chance" (Merlin, whumpee Merlin)

Why Do You Hate Me?

💎 How do you feel about the first fanfiction you ever wrote and posted?

this is such a close competition—the first 2 fics i ever posted were done so 2 days apart on ff.net, and i genuinely don’t remember which one i started writing first. so by virtue of “i don’t have a lot to talk about in regards to the first one posted” i’m gonna break the rules a little and discuss the second one instead 🤫

i am not brave enough to link this fic directly but it’s still on ff.net for anyone who is determined enough to find it lol (it didn’t make the ao3 transfer 😅). anyway this is an alex rider fic called A New Identity, posted 14 years ago, and i will first say that every writer has to start somewhere. this fic… it was my starting point (or very close to it), and it shows in immaturity, poor transitions, a lack of descriptions, and probably a lot more

however—this is also the one fic i have that anyone reading can see the growth i went through as a writer over the course of this one fic. it’s 17 chapters long, 18k+ words, and i wrote and posted it over the course of about 5 months. and every chapter was better than the last. iirc every chapter was also longer than the last lol (chapter/fic length is not an indication of good writing, but for this fic what it did indicate was the amount of detail i was including 😅)

anyway this is a very long-winded way of saying that although this fic may not have been my best work, i still appreciate it for all that it taught me about writing, and for being a visual representation of that growth

🔥 What are your favourite three fics that you wrote and why?

in no particular order (titles are also links to the fics!):

sympathy in hand (inevitability at your door): the one night agent fic i have that made it out into the real world, i love this fic so much for the small details i was able to fit in and the extra character building i could play with since the close 3rd pov character was a side character with not a lot of screen time. it’s also the one fic i’ve posted since 2021 😅 in the fic notes i mentioned getting back on the proverbial fic writing horse and i’m still so grateful to the night agent and this fic for getting me there. this fic was proof to me both that i could still write and that people still enjoy my writing 🩵

the darkness on the edge of town: there’s no favorite list i could put together that doesn’t include this fic series, it’s one i’ll return to reread every now and then just to enjoy all the small details and connections i put together. it is very angsty especially for the fandom (haikyuu!!) and i think half the comments on the main fic are people telling me they cried while reading it 😅 but being able to bring out those emotions in readers is something i still take pride in

Hot Guy, Dumpster Vigilante: pivoting wildly from the tears-inducing angsty series to the funny avengers fic lol, i think this originated as just a short one-shot for the clint barton bingo several years ago but i love this fic bc I don’t usually write humor. hurt/comfort and angst are my bread and butter so this fic was a step outside my comfort zone that i still enjoy going back to reread

backfire: (i’m sorry i know the prompt said 3 fics i can’t help myself). no link to this one bc it’s still being written! it’s a warrior cats canon divergence au that will likely be a series, although i’m not sure in what exact way yet. so far i have 2 one-shots and ch1 written, but i need to finish rereading the prophecies begin and the new prophecy books before i continue. this will undoubtedly end up as the longest fic i’ve ever written and i’m still so excited to figure out how the initial canon divergence event affects everything else (it’s a huge au soooo many things are changing). the fact that i know i need to withhold from posting the 2 one-shots pains me every day 🥲
