:3cc Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤ (arcane-map)
Thank you to you and my mutuals who sent this ;.;
I only have seven fics up right now, so I'll name a few of the ones I'm MOST happy with:
"Maskflies and Wishes" — A vignette of the Pale King spending a brief afternoon with the Pure Vessel after he's just begun training it and his flow of subconscious/conscious thoughts surrounding them. I'm quite satisfied with the way I portrayed him here— solemn, stoic, considerate, self-conflicted, but firmly in denial. He's going through the motions of his plan as easily as he can by pretending he's unattached. But he can't ignore the weight of his actions on his shoulders. (And he is. Secretly attached.)
Soul of God, Form of Moth — My only, darling longfic and AU, wherein the Radiance’s wish of reclaiming the spotlight is ironically fulfilled with her playing the main character AND villain while in a nearly helpless, mundane mortal form. (A moth, to be precise.) Searching for ways to regain her former glory and overthrow the Pale King, she meets various other antagonists from the canon game, suffers the consequences of her actions, and, along the way, maybe starts changing as a person? I don't pull any punches for her in this. She's horrible, ridiculously full of herself, and while there are equally dramatic measures aplenty I am planting much more serious seeds. I hope I make people cry as it progresses. Making people cry over Radi's situation— that would really be an accomplishment!
"The Grey Prince and the Seeker" — A terrible little crackship ficlet of how the Godseeker ends up with [gasp] the Grey Prince?
The reason I'm listing it here is because I want to keep inflicting this psychic damage bomb on people.
"Eve of Tapestry's End" — A young Hornet oneshot that explores the traditions of Deepnest marking the new year. Although I rushed writing this all in one night for the holidays, I'm fairly proud of the world building! My heart aches for Hornet and everything she went through, and I don't shy away from those feelings here. However, the traditions of her far family act as an outlet to celebrate the mother she lost as well as to grieve her in supportive company.
If this list moves any reading this to seek these fics out, thank you!
