1. Is there a story you're holding off on writing for any reason?

I've got a few WIP's in thr work honestly, mostly for MacGyver which is my current fantom obsession, though I'm slowly getting back into The Flash, but I've got a half finished story where post playing murdoc, Mac suffers ptss and reoccurring nightmares of his killing his friends and family whilst as murdoc, mostly because I really want to do it justice. Or even that I want to expand on my mac gets hurt in NYC when The Ghost comes back, but tweaking the timeliness is taking a while.

4. Favourite character you've written?

a close tie, but roxy morton from kingsman, especially in the furthest limit, she had a really awesome story line in the first kingsman and I really looked forward forward being able to rewrite the second kingsman who definitely did her dirty, because she's such a nuanced character. I love her.

5. Character you were most surprised to end up writing?

🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for playing along. <3 

The whole premise is supposed to have double meanings and all the stuff real writers craft into stories which is what I struggle with. I guess what you should know is a mission goes sideways and it puts everything in jeopardy, even Mac and Jack’s partnership. 

Here’s a snippet.

---------

“What the fuck do you mean, you don’t know, man?” Jack hissed through his teeth as another barrage of bullets hit the car they’d taken cover behind.

Mac felt his cheeks flush with heat at Jack’s biting question. It was rare to have his partner’s frustration directed at him. But the truth was that he didn’t know how to solve the problem.

His eyes flitted around the abandoned garage, hoping something would grab his focus. An old office desk. Metal shelves. Tools. Rusty paint cans. Aerosol spray. There.

“You have your lighter on you?” Mac softly asked while nodding toward the pocket he knew Jack to keep it in.

Immediately, Jack eased up from his seated position, fumbling to reach it. Handing it over to Mac, “Yeah, whatcha thinkin’?”

“You cover me,” Mac replied making eye contact with Jack.

Without breaking their link, Jack disengaged his gun’s clip and silently counted his remaining bullets by touch. Then he quickly flashed a peace sign, indicating what he had left. Two bullets was what Mac’s mental math had calculated, too.

 “And, I’ll grab what we need and hopefully, you’ll have a blow torch.”

Blow torch was magic to his partner’s ears. With that Mac saw Jack’s whole body release its tight energy and his vigilant posture take on some flexibility. The skin around Jack’s eyes crinkled in delight to match his wide smile at Mac’s plan. If they hadn’t been pinned down, Mac was sure he’d have hollered in joy.

“Mac, I love you,” Jack said. His smile turned into goofy grin.

The lighthearted declaration born out of brotherhood wasn’t something he took for granted. Other than his childhood friend turned housemate, Bozer, and his girlfriend, Nikki, Mac seemed to drift through life without secure attachments until Jack’s chance assignment to Mac’s EOD unit. He’d never shaken Jack from his trail and now he hoped he never would.

1. What are your favorite whump tropes?

Buried Alive, Confinement, Restraints (specifically zipties apparently?), Gunshot wounds, psychological torture, the slow burn of just like breaking down a character through the whump lmao

6. What are the traits of your ideal whumpee?

All of my fav whumpees seem to have fairly similar traits tbh?? Nick Stokes, Jack Dalton, John Reese, The Tenth Doctor, Various Bruce Willis characters (cough DIE HARD cough)...they’re all dark haired characters who are very physically attractive to me, all play characters that break stereotypes (well idk if i would even label Ten into a stereotype tbh) and even with that--they tend to be male characters who you expect to be like...cold, emotionless, I guess but they’re actually really soft and emotional and show that emotion?? If that makes sense??

10. When did you first realize you were into whump?

So like...I never knew “whump” as a term for it but ever since watching grave danger for the first time, I always seemed to enjoy those episodes where a character is getting whumped a bit more, and def by the time I was getting invested in other shows, I found myself really into whump. I distinctly remember conversations with friends of “why do you like it when they’re in pain!?” and I would just shrug and be like “IDK I just do!”

20. How are you doing today, buddy?
