And it’s up!! The second part to my Regency AU and a prequel to the previous installation.

I wanted to come back to this at a POINT, and I wanted a break of fresh air from projects. SO I wrote about Yuri hangovers. CAREFUL, IF THAT ISN’T YOUR JAM. There’s no graphic depictions of vom, and it’s super cute comfort bs but. I wanted to make sure no one was uncomfortable :(

eyyyyyyy first chapter of bby’s first fanfiction has been posted life is scary!

I don't have that many wips because I tend to finish fics immediately after starting them. However, I do have these:

love you. pretty boy (this is for The Maze Runner. It's a parrot!Newt AU)

Be the change you want to see in the world AU (this is Destiel, basically a smut oneshot)

Maladaptive Alien AU (this is Captain America, but I'm probably not gonna finish it)

I also have a metric fuckton of plot bunnies, but those are not wips - they're just me writing down ideas so I don't forget them. But if you want, you can send me one of my fandoms and ask for a random plot bunny from it, and I'll see if I have one.

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there's a pattern!

“Good evening, Madame,” Caleb said, inclining his head politely to a woman in a feathered blue mask as she took two mini quiches from his tray of hors d’oeuvres. (Masquerade Heist / Critical Role)

“I hate this place,” Prompto said, his voice muffled in Noctis’s shirt front. (Window of the Soul / FFXV)

“Take the ship around to the cove. If I don’t come back in three days, assume I either drowned or I decided to stay here for a while,” Shion said, neatly folding his last shirt and tucking it on top of his pack, then closing the bag. (The Siren / No. 6)

“Ooh, and the walk-in closet is big enough to turn into a dark room if you want to. Dave, you could work on your vampire portrait portfolio at home!” Jade said, squeezing the steering wheel a little too hard with her colourfully-banded fingers. (Welcome to the Polycule / Homestuck)

Once-mighty tanks were stacked up in the streets of Omashu like so much rubbish, and children played there once more. (Four Slices / A:tLA)

“We need a miracle,” Ignis muttered. (See Through / FFXV)

Muffled explosions and loud cheering filled the air. (grab your things, I've come to take you home / Critical Role)

When Mollymauk died, he suddenly understood a lot of things. (The Moonweaver's Child / Critical Role)

Caleb shivered himself awake as the warmth of Nott’s small body suddenly left his arms. (RE-ROLL / Critical Role)

Caleb knows he’s smart, but he would need a major in psychology with double minors in tiefling and carnie to figure out why Mollymauk pays him as much attention as he does. (Why Do You Like Me? / Critical Role)

Woof, I am almost a one-trick pony, and I didn't expect that XD The Vox opening line formula is apparently:

["Dialogue hook", establishing information.]

To be fair, though, three of the first four fics were all written within the span of a month. I probably was out of ideas at the time.

I've always felt that my last lines are a lot better than my first lines. I am confident in my ability to close something well. Never felt particularly good at opening.

One-shots

Hero (Nepeta & Karkat pesterlogs) - Karkat deals with the aftermath of Nepeta's canon death.

The Midnight Auspistice (Nepeta & Eridan, Sollux pesterlog) - Eridan needs some help to fill his quadrants, and he doesn't care how he gets it.

Multi-chapter

Sunlight (multi-troll memos) - Karkat's eyes finally turn red, so he takes drastic action to keep hiding his blood colour. Fortunately, Nepeta intervenes.

✩ Alliances ✩  [my most popular NepKat work!] (Sollux & Aradia pesterlog) - When Pounce de Leijon dies, Nepeta is kicked out of her hive and forced to roam the streets. When she becomes a target for the notorious Gamzee Makara and his villainous gang, the only way she can survive is with a little help from her friends...

Feathers & Firearms (Davesprite & Bro pesterlogs) - Menaced by the Felt, Dave flies away from the mainland and finds himself on Jade’s island. When the Felt return to menace Bro, Dave and Jade find themselves in the fight of their lives. (Not my best fic, but hey, maybe someone will like it.)

12th Perigee’s Eve (various pesterlogs & notes) - Post-SGRUB Christmas fic. Super fluffy. Every troll gets one chapter.

Nine Lives One Love (Nepeta, Karkat, & Equius pesterlogs) - At a point in her life where she's despairing over Karkat, Nepeta meets several different versions of herself, from different potential futures with different potential romances. But most of them aren't as happy as they seem. Will they be able to teach each other to find hope again?

493 words of Promptis fluff for @bleach-memes! Prompto and Noctis are living together. Title is from this Enya song. Thanks to @revasnaslan for the beta!

And Winter Came

When Noctis woke, a shaft of winter sunlight was feebly illuminating the empty half of the bed beside him. Noctis let out a sleepy grumble and snuggled deeper in the thick black duvet. The sheets smelled comfortingly like Prompto’s favourite brand of fabric softener, but the absence of an actual Prompto lying in the bed with him was making Noctis grumpy.

A few minutes of slow waking later, Noctis dragged his body out of bed and into the kitchen, still wrapped in the duvet. Prompto was standing at the stove, his face scrunched up in concentration as he poured batter from a bowl into the saucepan. There was a stack of chocolate-chip pancakes sitting on the counter, and the table was laid for breakfast. Noctis shuffled up behind Prompto, wrapping him inside the duvet with him.

“Morning, babe,” Prompto said, setting the bowl down on the counter. Then, he wriggled in Noctis’s grasp until Noctis let him turn around, and gave him a good-morning kiss on the lips. Noctis smiled, leaning his forehead against Prompto’s for a moment. Prompto gave him another kiss and then started trying to get back to his cooking, so Noctis shuffled over to the table and sat down. The duvet formed warm protective shell around him. Finding a mug of steaming tea beside his plate, he picked it up and took a few sips, the warmth and the caffeine starting to revive him slowly.

Soon, Prompto was setting down a plate in front of Noctis, grinning proudly. Noctis stared at it and realised that Prompto had been cooking so carefully because the pancake he had made was in the shape of a dinosaur.

“Ta-da!” Prompto announced. “You like it? I couldn’t go for a run this morning because it’s really icy outside, so I decided to make these pancakes. And then you were still asleep, so I got bored and made this dinosaur one,” Prompto explained.

“I love it,” Noctis said honestly. He ripped off one of the pancake dinosaur’s legs, which had a big chocolate chip right in the middle of it. Delicious.

Prompto blushed at the compliment, which Noctis thought was adorable. Six… he was so lucky to have this. Prompto. Pancakes. Mornings.

As they ate, they kept up the banter about the pancake, Prompto saying its missing leg meant it was a survivor of the dinosaur war, and Noctis pointing out that its head was kinda lumpy. Noctis polished off another three regular-shaped pancakes, and Prompto ate four.

“You left the bed cold this morning,” Noctis accused Prompto as they were clearing the table together.

“I’ll tell you what,” Prompto said, putting the saucepan into the sink, “Why don’t we go snuggle on the couch and maybe play some Paper Mario?”

WHAT’S UP GUYS I FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE COMA AU

It’s been exactly one month since I started this fic. I DID NaNoWriMo. Oops! Now it just has to go through some heavy-duty editing and beta’ing. I provided the word counts and POV for each chapter in case anyone is curious about this AU and wants to know more, hmmm hmmm~~~ As you can see Prompto has the lion’s share of the word count, but Noctis has equally as many scenes. I haven’t written the true epilogue yet because I’m relying heavily on Emme to write part of it for me, lol.
