B:  What was the first fandom you read fic in?  Which was the first you wrote fic for? 

answered! :)

E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well? 

I don’t write a lot about characters I identify with, per se. Like a lot of writers I will filter myself down and give certain traits to certain characters. Characters I really identify with I tend not to write about. But I will say there is a lot of me in Carol Danvers when I write her.

Then there’s how I wrote Tauriel in my ‘I’ll upload a chapter every single day and damn the quality of the writing’ fic, Modern Love. It was (as it says) a Modern AU of the Hobbit, and the way I wrote Tauriel and how her relationship progresses with Kili was heavily lifted from my own experiences. People asked if this version of Tauriel was ace, to which I said I had no idea, I was just writing her as I felt, which at the time was the truth. A year or so later, I rather quietly came out.

Tony smirked and kicked one of the stools out from the worktable.  “You got me.  It was all a farce to be in the same room as you, Darcy.  I can’t get enough of your quick wit and your hair smells like coconuts, which everyone knows is my favorite tropical food.”  

She rolled her eyes and took the stool, sitting down and reaching for one of the piles he was sorting through.  

“Don’t think I didn’t notice,” she said.  

“Notice what?” he asked, the picture of nonchalance.

White linen greedily absorbed spilled red wine faster than the server could siphon it away with his wand. Broken crystal scattered between the serving plates dressed with artfully plated roots, greens, and cheese, fallen soldiers waiting for the inevitable. The wine was their blood and the linen would be their grave.

Apologizing profusely, the server cleared what they could of the destruction left after an elbow was where it shouldn’t and an entire tray of water glasses fell over the patron’s table, destroying everything laid in preparation. Draco stared at the wreckage in disbelief, too stunned to be angry. Yet. With a wordless and wandless accio, he summoned the piece of jewelry previously hidden by a spell near Hermione’s glass of wine she declared was too expensive.

He had pushed Hermione away with a spell as soon as he saw the glasses falling, getting her out of harm’s way. As easy as it was to pull pieces of crystal out of wounds with a spell, it would be incredibly painful. He also really didn’t want to have to explain to his mother how her favorite restaurant had destroyed the dress she had picked for this particular date with Hermione. As much as his girlfriend thought the dress was her idea, he knew better.

Hermione stood and charmed away some of the debris on the floor near her, but Draco could tell by the way her neck started to flush that she was acutely aware of the attention the spectacle was giving her.

“I’ll take care of this,” he said gently as he stood. The ring was hidden inside of his jacket pocket. “Go.”

A grateful smile and swift kiss on his cheek later and Hermione was on her way to the loo to compose herself.

Draco assured the server it was fine, and that he would step away as well to give them a chance to clean up before anyone was hurt accidentally. Obvious relief filled the wizard’s face that he hadn’t completely botched a night out for Draco Malfoy and his company. While his first few steps were directed towards the bathroom, movement caught his eye, and he made his way towards the hallway that connected the restaurant to the alleyway.

Dark lapels of a leather jacket filled his palms as he grabbed the scruff of the man whose elbow had knocked into the server.

“What are you on about, Potter?”

Harry let the smoke in his mouth from the cigarette knocked to the ground to blow out of his nose. “Let go of me, Malfoy.”

Draco pushed Harry away from him when he let go, but boxed his way from leaving. Another cigarette filled the small space with the stench of burning tobacco.

“Why are you here?”

“Can’t a bloke have a nice dinner?”

Draco punched the brick wall nearby. “You know why I brought her here tonight, why are you here?”

Harry didn’t answer. It took two more drags before Draco’s anger went back to a simmer instead of a boil. He stared at Harry in disbelief. A stone grew in the pit of his stomach as he took in the other wizard’s body language.

I was tagged by @just-things-i-like-mostly ages ago for this. I’m sooo sorry this took me so long to get to! <3

What would you name your future kids? 

I don’t believe I’ll have children (by choice). Dogs are my children, really.

Hypothetically, though, I’ve always loved the name Mable for a girl and Isaac (a family name) for a boy.

Do you miss anyone? 

Yes.

What are you looking forward to? 

Having a house of my own someday, perhaps with another dog or two. Ace could use a buddy to play with.

Is there anyone who can always make you smile? 

Ace and my nieces and nephews. 

Is it hard of you to get over someone? 

Yes, very much. I hate that about myself.   

What was your life like last year? 

About the same, only I wasn’t as poor, which is saying something considering I live paycheck to paycheck. 

What is your life like this year? 

I’m stressed out and exhausted a lot more. I’m also less healthy. I’m trying to get back to a positive place...

Have you ever cried because you were so annoyed? 

Ohhh, yes. 

Who did you last see in person? 

My co-workers.

Are you listening to music right now? 

Nope.

Does it have anything to do with what you’re doing right now? 

Well, I’m at work and in my office. Not that I can’t listen to music, but I’m just not in the mood for it right now. I enjoy silence. 

Personality description. 

I’m highly introverted and quiet, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have a million thoughts going on in my head. I’m really shy until I get to know someone well, though I tend to open up quicker online than in person. I think I probably come off as reclusive and standoffish but I’m really quite approachable. If you receive me, I’ll receive you with the same level of respect and enthusiasm.

I’m creative and need a lot of personal space to express myself. I couldn’t function without my alone time or having space to create. 

Have you ever been to New York City? 

Yep, many times.

Birthday and age? 

September 24th. Old enough.

Are your crushes mainly girls or guys? 

Mainly guys, but I’ve crushed on girls, too. 

Favorite quote?  

“If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” -Van Gogh

Something you want to learn? 

More about my heritage.

Favorite subject? 

In school: English and Art

Relationship status? 

Single

Favorite book(s)? 

Harry Potter series, The Portrait of a Lady, Queen of the Damned, The Last Unicorn

Favorite fictional character? 

Severus Snape

Favorite fictional couple? 

Snamione (with ReyBen being a very close second!)

Something I’m talented at.

Dialogue is a horror to write, but you did it amazingly... oh by the way, I just commissioned someone to draw that moment on the veranda where Tina sits on Percy's lap... I hope you don't mind *is sheepish* I just really needed more Goldgraves art in my life and that moment immediately came to mind.
