i am a respectable author guys (i promise)

hello, I just started this blog as a place to talk about my fan works over on ao3 (ramblingsofateenagefangirl), post sneak peeks, and maybe make some friends in my fandoms! welcome to my new blog! 

my name is sophie, I mostly he/they/she pronouns, I’m nineteen, and I write primarily complex alternate universe content. My past fandoms include: andi mack, harry potter, and sanders sides- and I currently write for mcyts and shameless us. you’re welcome to chat with me about any of the above 

thanks for checking out my page, and feel free to send me an ask/message to talk about writing stuff or thoughts on any of my fics! you’re also welcome to send requests but I am not obligated to do them and if I do decide to write them, they won’t be soon most likely. I also like doing headcannon posts as well so you might see some here + you’re free to ask for them! 

okay guys i wanna write this at some point but i’m sharing it anyways! gallavich soulmate au time, tilted ‘in words only we can understand (tell me you love me)’ in my brainstorming doc

so soulmates exist, but everyone has a different connection to theirs. there’s familial and platonic and romantic but they’re all different 

like fiona has the ‘first words they say to you are on your body’ thing, lip has the ‘can hear the music they’re listening to’ thing, maybe debbie has the red string of fate. whatever it is, it’s different for everyone 

you kinda have to figure it out so that you know when you’ve met your soulmate, but for some people it’s not as easy to put together

for example. ian and mickey. when they’re young, they start speaking in a language that simply does not exist. at all, to anyone else. 

it makes perfect sense to them. if they record themselves and listen back to it, they know what they’re saying. if they write stuff down and read it later they know what it says. like, it’s a full out language they just know 

it feels more natural to speak in this language than english, but this language doesn’t exist for the rest of the world so they have to grow out of using it. it becomes a thing where if they’re writing something they don’t want others to know or saying a stray thought out loud, they might use it, but that’s it.

lip maybe knows a little bit from ian but since there isn’t like, a textbook, he’s not fluent or anything. it’s just a few words that ian’s taught him, that’s it. this isn’t a super important detail, it could just be a fun dynamic of him picking up on key words from ian’s sentences 

so by the time ian and mickey meet, they both rarely use this language and are generally used to keeping it secret to not seem absolutely insane. and since that’s the only connection they have, they are both just kinda like ‘oh i’m probably not gonna find my soulmate.’ 

there’s a few ways the concept can go from here. 

maybe they HATE each other and are forced to do something together and one of them slips up and says a word in their language and now they have to deal with that

maybe they’re casually dating and it’s great and when the topic of soulmates comes up, ian speaks in the language and mickey is like “pardon me?” and now the relationship can’t be casual anymore because they’re soulmates 

this fic would probably be like, a oneshot or a few chapters just of them finally finding the person that understands them in a world where no one else can 

some fun shenanigans of speaking and no one else knowing what they’re up to, as well

i wanna mess with setting/situation and stuff too, like ignore the cannon timeline, so i’m not sure of the plot. but i liked the idea and wanted to share it

the overall fic is over 50k words long so far, which is crazy because my longest fics over in the mcyt fandom are about that length. I’m definitely on track to meet/exceed my goal of 100k for the end word count (i set word count goals for each chapter and if I follow them loosely, i’ll definitely hit it i did the math and everything) and I’m so excited about it 

OF COURSE!! most of these have to do with unique sensory/stimming outlets, but i think they fit well.

likes spicy foods for the *sensory experience*

never really figured out the whole stimming thing, sometimes when he's excited he will grab ian by the shoulders and shake him. lovingly ofc

bite stim. he bites/chews on things he definitely shouldn't. ian tries to supply chews and even baby teethers at one point but none of it works! mickey bites ian's hands i think, affectionately

he also probably screams/yells really loud even if it's all positive feelings. Ian is like "are you good" and the answer is "yes! look at this thing"

ian lays on top of them when they cuddle bc pressure. maybe mickey gets a weighted blanket eventually but he only uses it when ian is nowhere near and cant lay on him

I think mickey likes play fighting/wrestling as like, a sensory thing? like partner stimming but slightly violent

he doesn't even realize that the reason he's a little bit jumpy/defensive/stressed after going out is bc of sensory overload. he discovers soundproof headphones and it's just great for him

he wears them a lot, and ian will just go on and on talking to him before realizing that he hasn't heard a word

infodumps about really dark shit. like weapons and crime, he just knows a lot about it all. it's a little concerning but ian nods along

vocal stims are the most random shit obviously, mostly bits from songs. ian will sing with him like that one scene from s11

idk what it's called but the whole thing where someone gives someone a cool rock they found as a present? he does that. it's all very much random knick-knacks, but he'll give ian rocks, pieces of colorful glass, bottle caps, can tabs, marbles etc. ian has no idea where he acquires the objects from but he has a glass dish for them

hey i like disappeared for a hot second and I haven’t been writing, but here’s a sneak peek from the draft of chapter seven of my interstellar ian au, currently titled: “let’s call this friends with benefits (what if I told you everything)” 

He could almost feel the future familiarity that came with getting ready together. 

Brushing their teeth. Ian hesitantly taking his meds and Mickey pointedly not paying any mind because when he did glance over, the redhead seemed nervous. 

Mickey putting on his jewelry. The earring and bracelets he had left in a pile on the bathroom counter. 

Them sharing Ian’s hair products to do their hair. 

“You’re wearing it curly?” Mickey’s face lit up at the sight of Ian covering his hands in gel and then ruffling his locks instead of pushing them back. 

“Yeah. It’s the weekend, so why not?” he shrugged as if it were nothing, but the way the electrician admired him in the mirror made his heart warm. Then, opened a drawer and grabbed the necklace Mickey gifted to him, “Can you help me put it on again?” 

“I suppose.” he sighed as if the task was so incredibly taxing, but he didn’t really seem all that upset about it. So, Mickey lifted the chain over his head and clasped the ends. 

Then, Ian plucked a tube of lipgloss from the array of stuff in the drawer, earning a confused look from the other man. 

“You wear makeup?” he asked. He didn’t sound judgemental, just curious.

“Well, I’m an actor. So, obviously.” Ian began, talking as his twisted the lid off.“But day-to-day, I just like this clear stuff. This one isn’t too sticky and I think it makes my eyes sparkle.” 

He finished applying it, rubbing his lips together and turning to face the other man. He batted his eyelashes in a mocking way, entirely intended to make the other man laugh. 

Instead, Mickey just admired him. 

“I guess it does look pretty on you.” he smiled. “It’d be a shame of someone came and messed it up, wouldn’t it?” 

He moved in like he was going to kiss him, but Ian used the palm of his hand to push him back by his forehead. 

“Yes, it really would.” 

Now, they were both laughing.

there’s your little tidbit! i set a goal to write two chapters of this this month, but I’m hoping I can get more done and get a posting schedule planned for this “little” project. 

i think this is a writing request bc it's all over my blogs that i'm open to them, i just dont guarantee that I'll use them! I don't feel like writing a fic for this; however, i'm gonna do some situational headcannons for it:

okay so this is immediately in a universe where ian is autistic. i know a lot of people go nonverbal when overwhelmed but sometimes for me, it happens during moments where I'm comfortable and calm and bc I say so! this happens to ian too

so maybe after a long day of whatever ian is up to, he goes to hang out with mickey and just sorta stops talking? his brain decides that words are overrated actually

it takes mickey a minute to realize whats happening, because for a while all of his questions and comments don't require a verbal response but eventually he's like 'why are you only nodding and shaking your head'

shrug

'are you good?'

nod

'then why aren't you talking?'

shrug

it's all playful i think, like mickey's concerned at first but once he realizes that ian is fine, it's just a game of him trying to figure out what is going on

it's like bickering except ian doesn't need to say any words at all, which proves that their playful non-fights will happen no matter what in any universe

maybe mickey's weirded out by it out of worry but ian seems okay and fine and he's smiling, so then it's him just trying to understand what ian wants. deciphering little head shakes and faces and pointing that wouldn't make sense to anyone else.

if this were a fic, that would be most of it. just mickey trying his best to understand ian.

'babe you gotta give me something' *more aggressive pointing*

when ian fades back into speaking, it starts with vocal stimming. and mickey is like 'thank god you're talking again' but actually he's just humming and singing bits and pieces of songs he likes and mickey is like 'oh.'

then that becomes little one to three word phrases, which is when ian explains that sometimes his brain just doesnt wanna speak. i can't decide if he is diagnosed and mickey knows about it or if he's just genuinely convinced that this is just a quirky funny thing, but either way mickey asks simple questions and the whole thing would end with him being like 'craaaazy concept: sign language?'

okay that's all for how! feel free to reblog and add onto this if you want!

the fic is a bond built of hate and cabins in the woods, which i wrote during late summer/early fall of 2022 and started posting in early october. it was my first novel-length project and kinda what got me into writing longer form fics at all?

fun fact, I actually came up with a sequel concept a little while back? it’s like, the boys two years later during the summer right before college. there’s more to it and it would require more planning and idk if I’m actually going to write it, but the idea does exist so that’s cool. kinda busy with my current Big Project tm but maybe one day

ah hello! thanks for the questions!

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

honestly? I'm not a huge fic rereader?

like I will think about fics all the time, and if I really like a fic, I'll seek out the author's other content and other fics with similar tropes/vibes/plots but i'm not huge about just rereading the same content again. it's an attention span thing, I think, I struggle with knowing how a story goes even if I love said story. if I reread something, I skip to very specific scenes that are plaguing my brain or I wait a longggg time until I've basically forgotten it

that being said, some fics that have been positively rotting my brain since I've read them are: Cooperative Gameplay, you'll never see us again, and Your Question Has Been Received

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

I could go back through one of my dream smp multichaps, 'a bond built of hate and cabins in the woods' and grab the ending paragraphs to the final chapter because i'm still lowkey proud of it almost a year later, or just go through any of my longform mcyt works but i'm gonna stick to something i've written more recently and grab a line or two from 'bright as the stars' (the interstellar ian au) chapter six:

"For every almost, there was a universe where they kissed. Where their hands ended up all over each other’s bodies, where they ended up together in all the ways they wanted to be."

i think it works better in the context of the scene but omg! in the context of the scene it hits so hard and i'm so excited to share it with you guys

24. Share a moodboard for (one of) your current WIP(s).

I don't really do moodboards, but here's the spotify playlist to bright as the stars. i kinda treat my fic playlists like other authors do moodboards, it's the tool I use to map out the vibes and inspire me to keep working

!!!!

you're officially the first person to send an ask to this blog and therefore you're so so cool according to me okay okay

11. Do you have specific playlists for writing fics?

YES. any fic that takes more than two seconds of thought/planning usually gets an individual playlist that's more vibe-based that it is plot based. so most of my multichaptered fics/wips have playlists. they usually come at some point in the planning/early drafting process

I don't always listen to music while writing because sometimes it distracts me, but when I do, it's helpful to have a specialized playlist for it. i'm gonna go ahead and leak the playlist to my interstellar ian au here

like i said, it's more vibe based than plot based so nothing is really getting spoiled, but if you're interested in what I've released about the au so far i totally recommend checking out the playlist

21. Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours laboring over it? If so, why?

i've deleted entire fics, like thousands of words. This only happens when I just cant continue with a fic in a certain way or something feels off, or I am just not interested in the idea anymore. i delete it and move on or start from scratch with the idea

when it comes to fics I plan on continuing/keeping parts of, I do more reordering/adding in scenes than I do removing them

i’m doing the writing thing guys this is so cool 

what do you guys think about ‘electrical fire’

as in mickey is an electrician so it’s a pun but also ian feels like he’s on fire when he’s with mickey and that there’s ‘electricity buzzing between them’ every time they almost kiss 

thoughts? maybe? i feel a little attached to bright as the stars because of the vibes but like, idk. electrical fire is a pretty banger title
