Note:

so @corporatebanana and @nzchance both wanted to hear abt my current wips, while @beanarie and @sad-girl-hours23 wanted me to share the last sentence I wrote, and since I don't have time to do a lot of writing lately, I figured I might as well put it all in one post 👍🏻

my ask box is open btw if you wanna know more abt anything :))))

(under the cut)

Pairing: Kip Grady/Scott Hunter

Rating: Explicit

Summary: Scott doesn’t often get stopped in his tracks by guys he sees. He doesn’t really ever get that birds-dancing-round-his-head, sweet-chorus-of-angels, crepuscular-rays-alighting-on-the-earth knockabout, or hasn’t really since Mike Johansson transferred into St Thomas in senior year of high school and he had, for the first time in his life, fallen in love. Unrequited, but still. That was fifteen years ago. He’s been in love since then, but he hasn’t been blindsided in a while. He’d forgotten how it feels.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Thanks for all the tags lately, especially @pippinoftheshire and @dizzymisslizzie for the tags last week!

ICYMI last week, the second chapter of X Marks the Couch by the Fireplace, my RWRB Game Changer AU, went up a week ago, and my version of filling in the gap between HR episodes 3 and 5 was posted this morning!

Tiny snippet of both below:

Kip couldn't believe he had agreed to see the Admirals’ potentially last home game with Elena and his dad, even though it was all for his dad for his birthday. How he was able to watch a hockey game at all after everything, let alone one with Scott Hunter as the star center, was anyone's guess.

Alex knew with a sinking pit of dread exactly what was missing. Yeah, he had Henry in his life, and that was great- but he had slowly stopped hanging out with anyone else. Not that he had a large group of people he was close to, of course, just June and Nora, but they were his entire world, the people who had his back through thick and thin. Now that he was thinking about it, he was pretty sure he had been ignoring calls from both of his parents too. That he was much less concerned about. After all, he was sure June was running interference for him.

Thank you so much for the tag, @jestwithmebuddie! Uh, this will be long because I'm currently working on two fics - one a big behemoth WIP already in chapters on AO3, and a collared!Scott sequel to my first collared!Scott fic.

First two sentences of your current project Behemoth posted WIP: Thanksgiving with Carter was, on the one hand, pretty typical. And on the other hand – like the fact that Uncle Jerome brought his boyfriend of seventeen years – it was not. Collared!Scott sequel WIP: Scott sits on the plane to Montreal, The Monster of Florence open facedown on his knee, staring out the window at the clouds and sky. One hand holds his phone loosely; the fingers of his other hand brush the skin of his neck, where the leather collar Kip got him had been.

Fanfic or original? Title? Fanfic - both. 1) Change The Player (And You Change The Game) and, tentatively, 2) Unleashed.

Most recently written sentence of your project. Behemoth WIP: “Wow,” Kip smiles slightly. “You got the whole buffet with one guy?” [Scott told him about his first time] Collared!Scott sequel WIP: “With the stainless steel chain. I mean for me, not the dog, obviously.”

Favorite line(s) in your current project Behemoth WIP: Scott hates that he can't talk about this stuff without it somehow opening a taproot inside him that wants to weep. Collared!Scott sequel WIP: Even after he closed them, rhythmic washes of each overhead light shone pink through his eyelids as they passed under them.

How close is your project to the end? Behemoth WIP: I think 3-4 more chapters? So several more weeks probably. But knowing me & my verbosity, it'll probably be twice that, sigh. Seriously, when I started, I figured 15-20K, max. Then I revised that to 60-80K, tops. It's over 100K now. Helllllp.... Collared!Scott sequel WIP: I think I'll finish it late tonight or tomorrow (fingers crossed).

OK! Tagging @azarias-everywhere-else, @mywingsareonwheels, @sixfoottallfeverrat (nestorius on AO3), @whimsical-bisexual, @groggygrady (I know you already answered this, tagging you anyway because you're awesome and so supportive and I am seriously grateful for that!)...

...and literally anyone else whose Scott/Kip AO3 fics I've commented on, on AO3, but whose Tumblr handles I don't know - consider yourself tagged, because community and we gotta stick together against the open Scott/Kip (and Francois and Kip) hate from so-called HR fans; apparently they missed the clue train that without Scott/Kip, their favorite pairing would not get their happy ending.
