Send me a ship and a fic title, and I’ll post a summary of the fic with that title I won’t write.

A sadist? Yakov wouldn’t exactly describe himself as such.While he admitted that he did enjoy getting Joanna riled up every so often, itwasn’t out of a perverse pleasure to upset her or assert control. Rather, itwas so he could indulge in the rare pleasure of seeing that vibrant spark ofhers that she kept so carefully hidden underneath her quiet façade.  The flush of her cheeks, the flash in hereyes, and the rapid fire words that poured from her lips when she felt stronglyabout something were what he lived for. She was just so bloody cute andalive in those moments that he often wished they would never end.

Except when what she felt strongly about was in opposition towhat he wanted.

“No,” she shook her head as she gathered up her drawingmaterials into a pile, hands trembling. “No, no, no. It’s impossible! I can’tgo out with you on a date, no matter what you say!”

He crossed his arms with a frown. “Why? Do you find mypersonality repulsive?”  His heart surgedat the way her head snapped up to stare at him in wonder, signaling that he hadtouched a nerve.

“Of course not!” She looked appalled. “I wouldn’t be friendswith you if I didn’t like you as a person!”

“Well then do you not find me attractive?” he pressed on, knowingdamn well that wasn’t the reason, but he wanted to hear her say it.

She froze under his ice blue eyes, then averted her gaze ina poor attempt to regain her composure. “N-no…it’s not that…”

He let out a low chuckle at her admission.  “Then I do not see why you cannot go out withme.”

“Because!” she stammered, fingers scrambling to buckle her portfoliobag closed. “I can’t go out with a prince! I’m just a commoner, and a poorartist at that! Your people won’t accept me at all! I’m shy, I’m quiet, I’mawkward, and….”

“Utterly enchanting.”

“Yes! I mean, NO!” her dark hair swished wildly around herface as she shook her head. “I’m nobody of consequence and completely unworthyof you, Yakov!”

“Tch.” In two strides he was in front of her, the smirk onhis face gone. He took hold of her shoulders. “I care for you, Joanna. You carefor me. Nothing else matters.”

“But it’s not that simple!”

His lips were on hers before she could utter another word inopposition, erasing all protests, objections, and coherent thought from hermind.

He broke away with a low growl, knowing if he continued hewouldn’t be able to stop with just a kiss.  Pulling her to him, he leaned down to whisperin her ear, hot breath sending goosebumps all across her skin.

“Yes,” he murmured, “it is.”

Angel: what are three things you love about one of your close friends? (you can name them or not)

What!? I can’t just name three things I love about just one of my close friends. It just can’t be done cause there’s so many things I love about them!

it’s ok! <3

6. What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?

hrm this really depends on the fic tbh. I’d have to say a general category of things, which is the way I write mages at their craft. it owes a lot to my own practice irl, and that’s why there’s very little rote casting of spells or focus on the mechanics of spellcasting. it’s all about focusing will and movement of energy and sensory details. I’m always waiting for another Reiki healer to have a “lol i see what u did” moment reading the way Gisele and Marisol heal people though Vessel of the Spirit for instance.

8. How often do people catch onto your little details?

it’s about 50/50 I think. stuff like obvious references to pop culture stuff (eg. Khedira dancing on the water in Crestwood), sure. more obscure things like the callbacks to real world occultism tend to fly under the radar. I throw a lot of those in my fics.

12. What’s the hardest thing to write for you?

✍ Finally, an ask-meme for writers! ✍

ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?

47, 49 - answered here

✍ Finally, an ask-meme for writers! ✍

04:Have you ever thrown a book across the room?

No. That hurts the book. My iPad (secured in an otter box) however has found it’s way down a staircase.

08:What’s the best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten?

Any feedback is good feedback - constructive anyway. I don’t necessarily write for others - it really is just because the scenes haunt my thoughts and I need them gone - so when someone tells me they liked a story or my characters - it really makes me feel… surprised and happy. Like… oh hey people do read this.

12:Who is your favorite author?

Hmm… I really like Shakespeare - I’m a total nerd. But more modern I like Frank Peretti alot. Lewis Carroll. 

16:How do you feel about movies based on books?

I like them. But with the strong knowledge that they are two different beasts ENTIRELY. A book is something done by the author whereas a movie script is merely another person’s take on the author’s book - meshed up with budgetary issues, a director’s vision, amongst a host of other things. 

20:What’s your favorite writing program?

… don’t have one. 

24:What’s your favorite & least favorite part of plotting?

Plotting… so like… how you think through scenes? I like it. It’s the in between scenes part that bogs me down… stupid transitions.

28:Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?

Already answered… but middle… I guess.

32:How do you feel about friends and close relatives reading your work?

Hmm... I don’t know. I mean. Jay’s my best friend and shes the first one to read any of it. So that’s fine. And one of my other very close friends reads them too (non-voltage anyway... she doesn’t know I’m here). My family I’d prefer not to ... let them think I don’t have as twisted a mind as I really do.

36:Do you listen to music when you write?

ABSOLUTELY. Music is a main contributor to ALL of my stories. Most of them (if not all) have a ‘soundtrack’ or like an inspiration song.  Like The Show Must Go On is directly connected to ‘Girls/Girls/Boys’ by Panic! At this Disco for me.  (It’s also my favorite story so I shamelessly promote it all the time.)

40:Which is your favorite original character, and why?

Well, Josie is, I guess. Since it’s not really me - a very ... exaggerated version of me. But otherwise I don’t really have any.

44:What’s the weirdest character concept you’ve ever come up with?

Well, uh... weird... is an interesting term. My fantasy stories are weird I suppose. Instincts and Desires and Feathers and Scales. The TaJoTe series is weird... to me.... a lot.

48:If you could write the next book of any series, which one would it be?

Omg, I wish I could afford at the moment, I love your art .

I have yet to play Kissed by the Baddest Bidder, but when I read therandomgoddess‘ Soryu smut, the image of tracing the tattoo along his back almost made me rethink my stance on the game. When I next read her Edward fic where our Flower Prince could actually really talk to fairies I was hooked. She’s since become a dear friend who has been instrumental in pushing me to follow my own writing dreams. She’s a lot busier these days but she’s always appreciative of anyone who wants to help her catch all these plot bunnies she keeps finding...

Favorite Cia fics:

His Suprise, Her Pleasure (Soryu)

Roguish Eyes (Edward)
