#mr fix-it

oooooh, that’s a good one. 

Well first of all, I started writing it at 11 at night and finished at about 3 am. I got the idea from a writing prompt thing about the first meeting of an otp being bad. I believe I read an awesome one by @modeoheim when I decided to take a crack at it. (You should read Tobi’s fic’s anyway they’re all amazing). 

The prompt was “You broke into my house, but now my cat likes you so...we’re good.”

I had the image of Angeal scaring the crap out of Cloud and Kitty!Seph being an asshole and loving Angeal the moment he barged in. I wrote that very quickly and to this day I’m still very pleased with how it turned out. 

Then...I had to figure out how the fuck I was going to end it. I hated myself for starting it, didn’t have enough space on my computer to save it (all of my final projects were taking up everything and you can bet your ass they went into the trash once it was done), and I didn’t trust tumblr enough to save it. 

So I wrote on, hoping to the heavens it would turn out okay. Time lost meaning, I forced myself to stay in the writing zone and just not question what was happening, it could be bad for now. If I hated it in the morning, I could change it, but I needed it done. And I had to work tomorrow morning. 

I gave it a cursory glance when done, hit publish, and fell asleep. 

In the morning, I re-read it (at work, the helpdesk had it’s perks) decided it wasn’t actually too bad, proofread some more changed one tiny plot thing and submitted it to AO3 and FF.net. 

Remember that time I deleted it? Well I got back on and deleted all the family members off this time. Much better.

I was snooping around on Mr Fix-It's page, do not know why, except that I am nostalgic for "old times" as part of my missing-Mr-Chef process, I guess. 

Anyway, I saw his face, an old picture of how I remembered him, and it was just weird. I dunno. You ever see an ex and wonder "why'd I do that for so long?"

Well yeah, 3 years later and I guess I'm like actually totally over it.
