eee, one day soon I'll get some more written on this but for now have a little bit of John being a good friend, and checking up:

(palette)

waaahh i've not reached the kiss yet, but this did make me do 5 minutes of work on the fic, so i can't complain! i do love this one, so have a snippet anyway!

oo you and fangirlsalad are on the same wavelength (or I've only given you one McShep fic to choose from :P) but I'll go for an I:

thank you! We got a lucky number 3…which means this’ll make no sense 😂

a sound…anything

ahhh what to say, what to say. So this was 100% born from my Sleeping Beauty AU and is giving life to Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast ideas at the back of my brain. I’m still struggling with the start, to be honest, because I’m not sure if it’s worth just starting at the ‘apple’ or do a bit of world-building first. BUT it’s a one-shot so…I think I’m overthinking tbh.

I keep on writing angst like this but I do find John’s grief and pain quite difficult to get down on paper, which is probably what keeps me doing it. He seems to like to push things to the side, worry about them later or not at all (preferably), so I just love forcing him to confront something that could really break him head on. He’s lost so many friends and people he cares for over the years, but losing Rodney just completely untethers him, so (as the story goes) when he thinks Rodney’s dead his whole world just collapses. He can’t be the team leader in that moment, because he failed in his most important job: keeping Rodney safe.

📓Do you have a title in mind?

I don't actually, although now I think about it, it's probably going to be lyrics from 'Someday My Prince Will Come' or 'I'm Wishing'. Because I have no originality!

🃏Wildcard! Have a line!

He could almost pretend that he was breathing.
