It's kinda funny to be getting this at this time because my brain has been very one track for the past few months and this is not really an accurate representation of the stuff I normally write XD

wait 1-2 weeks and this list will change drastically

the lush life giving me a rush - sfawtde d3rlord3/Avery/King omegaverse (sequel to #7) Avery wakes up to a buzz from his communicator. He has a good idea of what it is, but he picks it up and checks to be sure. Heat started. Come over?

Echoes of a Foregone Conclusion: Chapter 6 - sfawtde d3rlord3/King (a prequel to a darkfic, mind the tags) Step. (If he takes another step, the subtle vibration as his foot impacts the ground will send small rocks clattering down from a cavern ceiling far below. One of these rocks will split on a stalagmite, and a piece of that rock will fall into an underground lake, where—)

there is no better place than right by your side - sfawtde d3rlord3/Avery pwp “Still think they’re useless?” Avery teases. Derek glares at him, though the effect is minimized by the way he’s naked and tied up with his own graduation cords, hands bound in silver and gold behind his back, leashed by green around his neck. That one is Avery’s, green for his botany work under environmental sciences, but he thinks it’s fitting, marking Derek as his.

fibercrafts - sfawtde d3rlord3/King aroace eroticism (sequel/companion fic to #6, mind the tags) (Knight.) (Knight.) (My dear Knight.)

but this is love, love, shut up, this is love - sfawtde d3rlord3/Avery based on @\tiredartistofthecourt's King Avery AU Derek falls asleep the instant he hits the bed. The King stares for a moment, but the knight doesn’t even stir. The only movement is the rise and fall of his chest. He hadn’t even bothered taking off most of his armor. That can’t be comfortable. You’re overworking him, the voice of its vessel echoes in its ear. It wills the vessel’s faint shape away with a slight tilt of its head.

i want you the way that i want to be eaten alive - sfawtde d3rlord3/King aroace eroticism (prequel/companion fic to #4, mind the tags) The Knight watches his King feast. His King is methodical—slicing the skin carefully around blood vessels, severing muscle and meat from bone piece by piece. Despite all the blood staining the body, the initial wound has since been sealed, leaving the insides preserved and fresh.

let our true selves go wild and free - sfawtde d3rlord3/Avery/King omegaverse (prequel to #1) D3rLord3 wakes up to a wetness between his legs and heat pooling in his gut. He groans, reluctantly shifts his legs just to make sure—and yep, that’s slick alright. Now that he’s awake, he’s aware of the blankets growing uncomfortably warm as the seconds pass. Sweat is starting to bead on his forehead, and instinct yearns to be held, to be pressed down and bred until he can’t think about anything but bliss. Fuck. This is why he hates heat.

too few rounds in the ring (and not enough settled scores) - tower of god bam/white porn with plot Bam doesn’t know exactly how it happened. The last battle had been close. A few of his friends nearly died, and if not for the warp portal to escape, they all would’ve been blown to bits. And it was, as much as the others try to reassure him, Bam’s fault.

but your sums and your pieces are enough to make you whole - tower of god fic where Khun adopts a cat, based on @\cheerful-solitude's idol AU You hear the vent door open again. Strange. Adoptions were supposed to be over already. And they were for the little ones, not ones like you. You’ve long grown used to being ignored in the best case, and being called ugly at worst. You get it—you aren’t fluffy and cute, even if the Sock wrapped you up in a nice cozy sweater because you got cold easily. You’ve accepted the fact that you’ll probably be here forever. At least you’re treated well enough, provided with food and water. It’s just that the Sock doesn’t have all the time to devote to you, with so many cats around. It pets a cat near the vent as it looks towards the door.

let be what is, let be what isn't - hollow knight post-canon, featuring the hollow knight It is being dragged. It is trying to keep up, to stumble along, but it thinks it is falling more often than not. Its sight is blurry, lacking the tinge of orange but still too nauseating to see properly. Whoever is carrying it is moving too fast for it to keep up, and… Its mind is…quiet. Save for its own thoughts, of course. Thoughts it has never quite been able to rid itself of. It is silent and strange and sudden and— There is a voice.

Tagged by @silverinerivers! I am also procrastinating 🤝

1. How many works do you have on ao3? 270! I used to be very prolific in high school, but I've slowed down since college XD

2. What’s your total ao3 word count? 910,686

3. What fandoms do you write for? Tower of God, and MCYT, mainly Hermitcraft and hermit-adjacent series (Life Series, Evo, MCC, anything where a hermit may be featured)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? The two fandoms I write for have a pretty huge fandom size difference (based on fics alone, Hermitcraft has about 4x the amount of ToG's), so the kudos difference is very drastic. Also, since I've been writing ToG for quite some time now, my most kudosed ToG fics are just the first ones I've written, since they've been around the longest. So I'll just post my most kudosed Hermitcraft fic, and my two most kudosed ToG fics, one for pre-anime and post-anime (due to the fandom explosion in between)

lightning often strikes twice - ToG, 2k, rated G, Eduan and Khun interacting in the data world

Mornings - ToG, 800 words, rated G KhunBam sleepy morning cuddles

and the wind will remake all that time has worn away - Hermitcraft, 13k, rated T, a fic featuring a bunch of hermits curious about Grian's new wings

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do my best! I like interacting with readers :D

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Ooo, hmm... *filters my fics by Angst tag* *67 fics appear* Uh. Thus Kindly I Scatter is one of my first angst fics ever, and evidently it's hurt a lot of people XD. But I'll go with Ache, the first fic for one of my month challenges. That one was fun to write :D

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I haven't written many multichaps, so I don't really have one that builds up to a happy ending. But Memory Lane is a nice fluffy one ^^

8. Do you get hate on fic? Not really, I think most of my comments have been pretty chill. And I'm not too active on social media, so I don't really pay attention if anything's been said there.

9. Do you write smut? Best part of turning 18.

10. Do you write crossovers? Not really, unless you count stuff from different MCYT series. I think it can be a big vague on what constitutes a crossover, because ccs can be part of different series

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of, and I hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! It's always an honor when someone wants to translate/podfic/create other derivative works off my own <3

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! Kings and Prophets as a raffle gift fic for a fandom event. It was very fun to write (and ended up about 9x the original predicted length). Still one of my favorite fics <3

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? KhunBam, what else XD Started with them, still hung up on them

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t? Last I checked (a few years ago), I had 136k words worth of WIPs in my graveyard, and it's only grown since. I did have this one Gods AU KhunBam fic called Post-Immortem that I remember planning extensively, but unfortunately, I only got a few chapters in before I got bored XD. Multichaps tend to be difficult for me.

16. What are your writing strengths? I really like worldbuilding! Fantasy has always been my favorite genre, so I love writing AUs. I think I'm also decent at writing action scenes (Doing martial arts for most of my life has helped, I think)

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Characterization can take me a while to get, and also I'm not very good with writing multichaps. Long plot buildups aren't really my thing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I've never done it extensively for a long fic, but I've done it in a few oneshots. I have some knowledge of Spanish from school, and I can speak Mandarin, but my writing is ehhhhh. I think it's fun!

19. First fandom you wrote for? Tower of God, whoo! And it hasn't changed XD
