Theo smirks up at the ceiling, but even the edges of his amusement feel spiked, and poisonous. “You’re already a pariah,” he tells Nolan, and catches Nolan’s sharp, startled inhale. “It’s not like you’ve got much farther you can fall. You might as well take advantage, and say what’s actually on your mind.”

A few seconds of silence drag past, Nolan clearly debating, but when he speaks, there isn’t the judgement, or resentment, that Theo had been expecting. Instead there’s just a tired, quiet sort of understanding, which; Theo flinches, feeling it like a knife between his ribs.

“You did that on purpose,” he concludes softly. “Making Liam angry with you. You did that on purpose.”

Theo can’t help it; he has to curl back up, and over the vulnerable core of himself, his shoulders rounding and his back hunching. “Yeah, well,” he replies eventually. “It’s better for everyone if he stays that way.”

MY OPINION: can I just say I’m in love with this fic??? It’s so well written (like everything eneiryu has written jdkzdkzkd) and the feels in this omg, my heart broke one or two times. The angst is… I’m not even gonna begin with this because I could rant about it forever. The building to friendship between Theo & Corey in this is *chief kiss* (and between Theo & Mason as well !). It’s so interesting and beautiful. I just… I love it sm

Thank you for asking me these!!

9. Recommend something that you really enjoyed in 2020.

(I’m tagging a few authors in this answer, please feel free to ignore me! I just want to gush about your amazing works).

This is tough! I enjoyed so many things!! Especially if we’re talking fanfic, since 2020 is when I got into Harringrove and have read so many excellent fics in it.

Soooo…. I guess the first fic I read that got me into the fandom was dried up, half full by @lymricks. I think I’ve read that fic at least ten times. But really, anything by her is amazing. Also, I absolutely adore when the bones are good by @un-buttoned. Again, everything I’ve read by her is fantastic! But there are so many good writers in this fandom – everything I’ve read by @passivenovember, I’ve loved. In 2021, I’m planning on reading As certain dark things are to be loved by @thursday-knight, which I’ve heard absolutely amazing things about!! I’ve read way shorter fics by him and they’ve all been amazing. 

For Teen Wolf, anything by @eneiryu . I found their fics after I finished season 6 and have read almost all of them. But I started with i know all sorts of things i don't believe and have read it at least three times. Their characterization and plot is just phenomenal. Also, the way they just publish 50k+ fics all at once is so amazing. 

I only recently started reading Black Sails fics and I’ve really enjoyed so many. But I loved the straight walk home by @vowel-in-thug. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by them, but I just love the au they created for this fic.

14. What do you want to do more of next year?

last song: Age of Consent by New Order

last movie: I think it was The Shrine - interesting premise but not a great movie overall (would not recommend)

currently watching: Black Sails (thank you @coffeeandchemicals) and Hannibal

currently reading: Ooooo I have a few things on the go. Currently listening to Under the Dome by Stephen King (trying to decide if I like it more on the second read), have just started Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots (am very excited to see where it goes), and am reading/re-reading some fabulous Thiam fics by @eneiryu! (SO MUCH LOVE).

currently craving: Coffee. Luckily, I have just brewed a pot and picked up more coffee cream, so yay!

6. Did you have any new ships this year?

Yes! For reading, which is what I mostly do: Liam/Theo (Thiam) from Teen Wolf! Max/Anne Bonny and Flint/Silver from Black Sails! For writing (and this was my first year writing anything!), I helped @coffeeandchemicals write a Harringrove fic (pull me in close and let me hold you in) and I wrote a Hermione/Pansy fic (the curtains close on this idyllic scene).

7. What character did you relate most to this year?

Oooo this is a tough one. For writing, I felt like I most related to Hermione - I liked getting inside her head and trying to figure her out or imagine a universe with her in it. For reading, this is more tough. I find that I can relate to a lot of characters depending on how they are written! I’ll have to think on this more!

9. Recommend something that you really enjoyed in 2020.

Another tough one! 2020 was a difficult year for sure (and I know difficult for many of us) but I definitely got back into reading fanfic this year (thank you @coffeeandchemicals) for some escapism. I read a lot of fanfic from a bunch of different fandoms and there are some absolutely amazing writers out there!

After finishing Teen Wolf, I really enjoyed EVERYTHING that I’ve read by @eneiryu! Their writing, stories, and characterization just pull me so much! I started with the series we know all sorts of things that we don’t believe, which was absolutely AMAZING (cannot recommend enough)! I also really, really enjoyed constructed a world from the scars on our hands.

I plan on reading more Harringrove in 2021 and I might be biased, but I really enjoyed @coffeeandchemicals‘s you just happened to have a claymore lying around?.  But I am looking forward to reading more Harringrove in the future!

10. Share something that you learned in 2020.

Oh, dear. I don’t know if I want to go waxing poetic about all the mistakes that I made in 2020! It was a tough year (how many times can I use that word in one post?). I think, for me, 2020 was about learning to accept reduced productivity with myself. I had all these goals and ambitions last January and with everything that went on in 2020, I realized that I couldn’t complete everything that I had hoped and I needed to be okay with that. That is something that I am still learning.

I also struggled with assertiveness this year and standing up for myself, but I am realizing that these are important things to be able to do (so I am resolving to try and have more backbone in 2021).

Also, sleep is so important. (I mean, I knew this already, but 2020 burnout just made that so much more real).

It’s the same feeling he has now, metallic and sharp coating the back of his throat; the maybe, maybe, maybe of not knowing what happens next.

He swallows, drops his forehead onto his steering wheel, breathes. His head’s a riot of thoughts, of emotions, memories from his various recent encounters mixing and matching, all of them too fast, too slippery for him to hold onto. When Theo came to Beacon Hills with the Dread Doctors he’d had a plan, resources; he knew he was going to war. This time he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.
