12. musical 🥰

“The musical My Fair Lady,” Beard says, not lowering his book, “is based on the 1913 play Pygmalion by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, which is in turn based on the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion.” “So?” “Pygmalion—” Beard’s looking at him from over his book now with that nonplussed stare—“sculpts a statue he finds so perfect that he falls in love with his creation.” Roy finds himself glancing back through the doorway just as Jamie pulls off his shirt, pausing to fix his hair in the mirror before he opens the locker to grab his kit. When Roy turns around, Beard’s buried in his book again. “Right.” Roy frowns and shuts the door.

More from whatever this is gonna end up being (pt 2)

gus: Mostly I want to lean into the idea that sex would be a lot like other appetites for them

gus: sleeping/eating/drinking/reading

gus: ie it literally has not occurred to them before now to even TRY it

kuwdora: love. it.

gus: basically the vibe I want is two kids working on a school project

gus: where aziraphale is the one who's making the diorama and doing all the research and getting really stoked about how to make volcanoes or w/e

gus: and crowley's the kid who's happy to coast on aziraphale's work but doesn't actually take an interest

gus: (at least until they're actually doing the deed and then he's like "woah wait WHAT" and basically comes immediately)

gus: like, it's extremely mid sex but because it's them, with each other, it's great

kuwdora: :chinhands:

kuwdora: that's like so great tho. like whatever the actual sex part but when you are having a genuinely good time with the person

gus: yes exactly

gus: most of the fics I've read either ignore the "angels are sexless unless they want to make an effort," or they have Crowley and Aziraphale be asexual

gus: which are both completley valid

gus: but not what I want

gus: what I want is them going to the Tate Modern to see the Great Wall of Vulva and arguing about how Crowley should best go down on Aziraphale

gus: with both of them playing Where's Waldo with the exhibit deciding which one's the most like Aziraphale's so he can like, point out the relevant bits

gus: I also really want to convey that Aziraphale's enthusiastic about this because it's what humans do, and they've both committed to living as humans even though they aren't, and it seems to make people very happy (although Crowley has fun pointing out how many times it's made people UNhappy), and he just wants to do something nice with his boyfriend basically

gus: meanwhile Crowley can't honestly see why they'd bother, but he's also happy to do what Aziraphale likes -- he's narrating the whole thing so it's gonna be clear that he's anticipating this like taking Aziraphale out to meals, where he gets most of his pleasure out of watching Aziraphale enjoy himself

gus: and he's totally fine with that

gus: and even when he turns out to be a two pump chump, it's not because he didn't know his dick could feel that nice or whatever

gus: it's because of the kind of gross sweat they're making and Aziraphale's heels pressing against hte back of his knees, urging him closer, and way they're still arguing even while they're fucking

gus: it's the love more than the sex

kuwdora: absolutely

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

man, i thought this would be hard, but what immediately came to mind was this bit from i want a love that falls as fast:

“Hey, stop that,” Charles says. “Don’t you dare blame yourself for wanting to take back even a shred of the happiness they’ve stolen from you your whole life. You deserve better, Edwin.” “What do I deserve, Charles?” Edwin says suddenly, pulling back and looking into Charles’ eyes. “Tell me.” “You deserve to be happy,” Charles answers. “You deserve someone who knows you. Someone who can make you laugh. Someone you want to spend time with, someone to pick you up when you’re down.” He swallows, his dark eyes flickering down to Edwin’s lips. “Someone to protect your heart. Someone you want.” He's hardly breathing, ducking forward until their foreheads are almost touching. Edwin swallows and takes a risk. “And if I want you?” His stomach swoops like he’s just jumped from the highest tower. He’s aware of every breath, every blink, Charles’ face so close to his like a masterful work of art begging to be studied. “You already have me,” Charles breathes, and leans forward until their lips meet.

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

while i was writing this message, my bestie who is sitting adjacent from me on her work laptop, looked up and said "witcher???" and says, "you get this little smile on your face when you are chatting witcher." anyway i thought you should know i am grinning big grin thing now. 😍

Ahh thank you so, so much. I’m grinning that grin too!!! I haven’t felt this pumped about the show in so long, and now I’m so excited to see what s4 will bring us!!!

And yeah as a geralt x regis enjoyer I absolutely can’t resist liamralt/regisburn. The AGE GAP. The amount of cunt lawrence fishburne can serve. The little ken doll divorced from his body Liam could bring in. The creaky old man on creaky slightly younger old man action.

What work took you the longest to write?

28. Favorite work you wrote this year?

Of the finished things: small wet mercies. It was so challenging to weave in and out of the film canon (I watched some of those scenes so many times, second by second), but so satisfying to play within that and add in a layer of wild yearning, love, and doom. I'll probably never write Dune fic again because I don't need to. I got everything I wanted in that story.

Runner up: it was really refreshing yet comforting to revisit The Witcher and write Puppy Teeth.

I have a few of these sitting in my ask oops sorry guys

So anyway I’m super late to reply but here:

Once is Enough

When the dust settles in Kaer Morhen and everyone returns to their routines, Jaskier is left alone. A spare part amongst the rest with nothing but the drink and his own neverending thoughts for company. He finds himself sinking further and further. But how long can you last in the sea of your own mind before you drown?

Mind the tags on this one. It was very cathartic to write and to explore some darker feelings in the immediate aftermath of s2

Hands cling to hands, eyes linger on eyes

Geralt knows Yennefer and Jaskier are sleeping together, but no one talks about it until he accidently catches the couple in the act. They invite him to stay, or shut the door on his way out. Geralt decides to stay.

The first geraskefer fic I wrote and of course it’s smut

Jewel of my eye

The palace of Beauclair is hosting a masquerade ball in honour of their guests, the hansa. Dandelion and Anna Henrietta are playing a game of their own

A very fun and flirty book canon fic

Mind, body, yours

Jaskier wakes up tied to a chair, injured and no memory of what had happened. Rescue comes in the form of a strange mage who gives him refuge as he heals. Jaskier quickly finds himself falling under Rience's spell. And when he tells him that Ciri would be safer with him than with Geralt and asks him to take her from under the witcher's nose, Jaskier cannot say no.

Still a WIP but a dark and weird story where I get to make use of my love of the gothic and a little horror. Featuring cursed pairing Rience/Jaskier (with geraskier endgame). Again, mind the tags on this one.

Baby, I’m not fooling

Yennefer is sore after a long day's travelling. She asks Jaskier to give her a massage. It all goes from there

My first yennskier fic that is still very sexy

hehe <3

6: My favourite title would have to be returning response code 1?: AccessAccept, an 1899 Eyk/Daniel piece. if I can also pick from non-fic AO3 postings, though, I posted intentionally bad art for Dead by Daylight titled STBFL, which is short for Save the Best for Last, a common killer perk.

29: I have answered this already, so here is one of my other favourite things you’ll find in the middle of The Old Witch and the Good Man:

Thank you so much! <3

What emotions do you expect your readers to feel?

Yennskier kidfic:

If I'm doing my job right some feels, some tension, and a good amount happiness! The fic is a mixture hurt/comfort and fluff with plenty of pining to go around. There are also some scenes that made me laugh to write, so hopefully some of my readers feel the same :D

What have you been finding frustrating with writing this chapter/fic?

For the Renfri fic:

The plot. is not always plotting. There's relationship development that needs to happen, and getting it to happen is being difficult because I ran out of what I'd plotted out in my head beforehand. Progress is happening but I have to fight it sometimes!
