hi there! this blog is mainly for me to get the steady stream of redacted audio thoughts out of my brain. you’re gonna hear a lot about david :) like a lot about david :). asks are always welcome! i’m always down for more friends so don’t be shy!

[angel-bubbles]

emerging out of the unknown like 2 years later with my masters degree, a mental health license, and so much more free time hehe

i don’t keep up much with redacted anymore (though i am still a david loyalist), i fear all for the game and heated rivalry have encompassed my brain entirely

[vegafan69-deactivated20260517]

this might flop and @porcelaininkpot did this but i want to do my own twist

reblog/comment :: give me your

- favorite redacted audio character

- a listener/character you KIN

- a random number that pops up in your head as soon as you’re reading this

i’ll give you a tarot card (maybe a crystal too) but i’ll be mean and blunt to you (love u)

[angel-bubbles]

wedding snapshots <3

hiiii so respectfully i started writing this after the wedding vid came out and it's been collecting dust since. still a little unfinsihed but i thought valentines was a perfect time to share the silly boys and a little davey/angel moment ᵕ̈

“asher, if you don’t quit messing with that tie…” 

asher freezes. his hands fall to his sides obediently. milo shakes his head as he moves to fix the knot until it meets his standards. he brushes off ash’s shoulders. “there. relax ash.” 

“i’m not nervous!” he protests. “maybe i just don’t like to wear suits…” 

“you didn’t act like this at prom.” milo looks unimpressed.  

“i was drunk at prom!” asher argues back.

david comes around the corner, pulling his suit jacket on over his button down. “that’s because youre a lightweight. it was one wine cooler, which was a horrible choice to start with.” he says as he stands before a mirror, fussing over the collar of his shirt. 

“jesus, you’re wrecks. the both of you.” milo leaves asher in favor of fixing david’s collar. “don’t get me started on you at prom david. we could hardly get you to wear a button down, much less a whole suit. black jeans and your dad’s jacket did not pass as a tux… i can’t believe they let you in looking like a delinquent.” 

david grumbles, “whatever,” 

“our alpha ladies and gentlemen.” milo smirks. 

ash is laughing now. he grabs david by the shoulder who tuts at the wrinkle it makes. “he’s gonna be crying with the rest of us.” 

. . .

later, asher is dancing with his mate a few feet away from them. he’s tripping over his own feet, too excited to follow any kind of practiced step or rhythm. so much for the west coast swing. 

angel laughs, rosey cheek against the lapel of david’s suit. 

“anything,” david says just above a whisper. “forever, for that laugh.” 

they’re smiling- they feel like they have been for months now- as david swings them under his arm.

a little life update for those interested to hear :)

largely this is for myself when i look back on this blog and get to see where i was at this time :) my own time capsule hehe, but so much has happened since i've been really active on here it blows my mind! i graduated with my BSW in may (WOOO!) and am currently about 75% through my MSW (take note of the months and you'll get why i haven't been around much). i started my big girl job around may and have been an advocate for kiddos who've experienced abuse which i absolutely love doing. i recently got a new place (see the pic below of my roommates cat. his name is toby. he's so precious.) and things are just heeps better than they were six months ago. i'm not as up to date with redacted as i used to be but i do still listen to the soft spoken comfy videos when they come out and overall life is good :) i hope you are all doing well!!! forever sending my love to each and every one of the mutuals out there, even if we don't talk much anymore <3

[angel-bubbles]

me randomly popping in and out of the tumblr world every few months hehe heyyyyy everyone >:)

For the first time since February 2020, I am sick. 🤒 As a distraction, I thought I'd share a bit of my current WIP. Under a cut because the full fic will be rated E for my typical brand of soft-smut. 18+ only, please!

I'm thinking this fic will be multiple chapters, and I always take the opportunity to remind people that I'm a SLOW writer. I don't start posting on AO3 until the story is drafted in full. It'll be awhile before this one gets to that stage, but oh, it has been a lot of fun to imagine so far.

“You’ve got a hypno-kink,” Milo repeated, giving a thoughtful nod. “So, what do we do about that?”

When Sweetheart had volunteered that information about themselves, Milo was shocked, to say the least. But he knew he needed to be strategic. One wrong move could make them retreat back into their defensive shell.

“I…” Sweetheart grimaced, feeling woefully unprepared for the conversation. “I don’t know,” they answered. “I thought you would think it was weird or something. I didn’t tell you to pressure you into it or anything like that. I’d never, ever want that.” Their hand found Milo’s under the covers and squeezed, the pulse matching the beat of the subtle song their core always sang when they were together. “I just thought you should know. Because I want you to know all of me, and that’s something about me.”

But Milo wanted more than just understanding. Much more. Understanding was a great start, but nowhere near the finish line he had in mind.

He eventually convinced Sweetheart to tell him all about their fantasies involving hypnosis that the stealth had spent far too long pretending were nonexistent or, at the very least, irrelevant. As they delved more into the topic, Milo began to connect the dots. It certainly was in character with Sweetheart. After all, time had shown that Sweetheart was something of a soft dom, which was a preference Milo knew quite well, being one himself. Still, the pair had never gotten caught up with rigid labels or limiting roles. They were way more focused on each other, frankly, and the love between them, to be concerned with trivial things like that. When their nights did veer more towards defined dynamics, however, both Milo and Sweetheart were content to trust each other to discover how to let things play out. It was a system that worked very, very well.

(some other stuff)

Slowly, and with constant prompting from Milo, Sweetheart had revealed more details about what drew them towards hypnotism.

“I like the idea of giving that kind of deep relaxation and guidance, to make you feel good. Accessing that control in a way that helps take away whatever might be holding you back— anxiety, insecurity, worry, whatever. And being in a position to do that for you…” Sweetheart’s thick eyebrows bounced twice. “I like the thought of that a lot. A lot a lot.”

In his quest to understand, Milo continued to press them for more details.

“Me being in the hypnotist's role,” Sweetheart declared with certainty when Milo asked them for more explanation. “And just to be clear, no, not in like a ‘I'll make you do things you don't want to do because I like power and control.’ Like a supervillain or something. Not at all like that.” Sweetheart swiped their flat palm across the air to emphasize their point. “For me, it's more about supporting you so you can do what you want to do and experience it in a really clear, pure way. Giving you that opportunity to just listen, to just be, to not even have to think, only feel. Maybe it’d take shape as me giving you cues that heighten your sensation or let you focus on pleasure,” Sweetheart explained. “Or…” They swallowed. “Maybe I’d have you on your knees, hot and begging and ready to obey any command I gave you.”

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE GREEN CREEK BOYS

God GOD I am head over HEELS for these books!!! I'm taking a break before Heartsong, but I've been rereading parts of Wolfsong and Ravensong, and I love this pack so much ;u;

and TJ KLUNE. NEW FAVOURITE AUTHOR OKAY

EJ. I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE BOYS ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!????

i LOVED heart song soooooo much omg you’re going to love it tell me ALL your thoughts bc… wow. i need someone to talk to about that book it’s perfection

well i mean, just the whole series is perfection really. like ravensong?!?! gordo and mark and my little blorbos and that whole book was just so delicious, i’ve read it 3 times since it got republished bc it’s just. so good. and the cover?!?! it’s gorgeous sigh

and of course wolfsong…. sweet baby ox… everything about their pack just makes me love them more and more they all deserve the world.

tj klunes writing is so effortlessly heart-wrenching and lovely all at once he’s by FAR my fav author at the moment. not only this series but house on the cerulean sea ? chefs kiss. waiting so mega impatiently to brothersong to republish

@/alessia.trunfio on insta makes some AMAZING art for the green creek series but if you venture that far tread carefully bc there’s a few “spoilers” (illustrated scenes) on there for heart song & brothersong

making up for lost time

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

green creek series: mark bennett/gordo livingstone, rated M.

The wolf may have been contained, but that didn’t make him any less feral, and his gums itch, teeth longer and sharper in his mouth. Gordo knows. He’s watching his mouth, his lips, the glimpse of fang as he parts them, breathing heavily. “I want all of you. Even this.” - Set after ravensong, in the gap between books. Mark and Gordo make up for lost time.

look I blame @lvllns for this, I've had sad werewolf brainrot for the last week. i'm taking a break before heartsong.

ooo if you’re still doing scene soundtracks maybe hiking with Hux? or on the angstier side, the first hug between elliott and sunshine after everything that’s happened hehe

OOOOOOOOOOOH LOVE

okay here's BOTH XD

Hiking with Huxkey [it's giving chill vibey folk so-]

First hug between Elliot & Sunshine after all this sHIT- [i used to think this would be a big moment but no - it's quiet relief and silent tears so here's an in between that builds and captures those both perfectly imo]

^not to brag but I think this one is perfect

[romirola]

hi romi!!! i hope you are doing well :3 for the prompt asks could you maybe do david/angel with the prompt “i…i think i need a hug” from the hurt/comfort list?? of course no pressure at all!! i’m always excited to see all the wonderful things you come up with no matter what!

Thanks for your requests, @belovedbow and @angel-bubbles ! As soon as I saw these come in, I started thinking about possibilities to combine them because I think your prompts compliment each other very well. Hope you enjoy!

Rating: T ; WC: ~2.7K; Prompts: David/Angel, “i…i think i need a hug”, “I’m not afraid of you,” first fight

Balancing Act: A Redactedverse Fanfic (18/18, Complete!)

READ THE EIGHTEENTH AND FINAL CHAPTER OF BALANCING ACT ON AO3 HERE!

The day of the Pack Anniversary Party is here! As the party winds down, David, Angel, Asher, Babe, Milo, Sweetheart, Darling, and Sam enjoy the dying embers of an intimate post-party bonfire. Together, the eight pack members reflect on the effects of the Exchange Ritual, the crazy experiences they had while their powers were swapped, and the love between them all.

As requested, I'm tagging @starlitangels, @shellssstuff, @ephxmerrxl, @thegoldenlittlerose, and @halscafe in updates to this story. I'll also tag people who generously let me use their headcanons in this story: @claracatlady, @pinksparkl, @floofdeloop, @frenchiefitzhere, @gwenifred, @palilious, @itsdaifuku, and @pycth. Again, thank you!

I also want to extend a huge thank you to anyone who read, commented on, kudoed, reblogged, bookmarked, or liked this story. It all means the world to me. I cherish every single interaction from readers for any story. Always have, always will. Balancing Act holds a special place in my heart for many reasons, including the long time (nearly a year!) it took to draft/post this fic, the length (~75K!), and the fact that I lost my father while posting this fic. Suffice it to say, David's flashback memory of Gabe in the last chapter took on new meaning for me. Anyway, I am so exceedingly grateful to anyone who allowed me to share this labor of love with you. It's my pleasure and privilege to be able to share work with the fandom. When kind people choose to leave feedback, it's truly an amazing act of kindness and connection. Thank you.

Interested in learning more about Balancing Act, my Redactedverse power swap fic? Check out this post. Or, just watch my blog, because I'm surely going to be reblogging/promoting this one for a while.
