is there a way to still read your old fics like everything grows and all your one shots? I donāt see them on AO3 anymore :((
Hey there! Iām so sorry this took me so long to reply to. I need to turn notifications for Tumblr back on so I donāt miss messages!
A lot of what Iāve written for THG (excluding Synchronicity cause it was removed by them) is still up on Fanfiction.net! You can find me on there as ashyblondwaves.
Hereās a link, but since Iām on my phone itās a mobile link, sorry!
So not sure if youāre into Nicholas Sparks, but I read āCounting Miraclesā awhile back and when I saw the line āLook what our love has made,ā it made me think of the epilogue of āEverything Growsā when Katniss is holding Zuri and she says āLook at what we made Peetaā to him. I still reread it all these years later. I hope you are well!
Hello! Iāve not read this, but I love it so much! I completely forgot I wrote a line like that in Everything Grows so thank you for that reminder. That story still means so much to me and Iām really glad that it still resonates with folks all these years later and is good enough for re-reads!
Iām doing well, just so busy with life and work these days. I hope youāre well too!
Hi, so if the person that commented on every recent THG fic of mine on AO3 with āwhen are you updating?!ā is reading this, please donāt do that. It doesnāt get me to write any faster and itās pretty rude and makes me feel like shit. Thanks.
Some context to this now that Iām not running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
Thereās a subset of Twitter that still, in the year of 2025, use the Toastbabies as some sort of evidence that Peeta used coercion tactics on Katniss to āmake her agreeā to have children.
Thereās a subset of Twitter that thinks less of Katniss for having children.
And as I said on Twitter, people really need to learn how to discern between the opinions of an oppressed child and the desires of a healing adult, because blaming Peeta for Katniss having children is not the vibe in 2025.
So, Iām finally reading this and omg, these two are fantastic. Bo is such a cinnamon roll and Win is hilarious. Theyāre so great together with their senses of humor and banter. Gah! I love š„°
I wrote 100 words tonight! That's more than I've written in weeks, so I'm celebrating. However, I'm tired and in pain (turns out my knee was sprained and has a touch of arthritis, how fun), so I'm going to head to bed, but I hope to get more written for this prompt through the weekend.
Hello! How are you? Just wanted to say that I really miss your writingš£
Hey there! Aww thank you for this message. I miss writing, so so much. I need to get back to that. The real life front has been so busy that I havenāt really had much time to get back to these prompts, but I want to!
How am I? Well, Iām headed to Urgent Care in a bit here cause something happened to my right knee and Iām in pain and itās swollen and I canāt really bend it much. So who knows, maybe Iāll have some down time to write soon!
š š Hello and welcome to our fifth annual Flufftober š š
Wow, weāre so excited to be back for our mini-anniversary and even more excited to have you here with us!
As has become our tradition: letās fill the month of October with as much fluff as possibleĀ š„° since it's our mini-anniversary, we have a little surprise for you aside from the main list of 31 prompts and the alt prompts you're used to...š
As with all our events, our standard blog rules apply, and you'll find answers to most questions on our FAQ post.
Below the cut, you'll find the necessary posting info and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us an ask.
Prompt Extras
Once again, we're offering you the option of Prompt Extras. You're more than welcome to replace prompts from the original list if they don't work for you for whatever reason - no explanation needed.
Aside from last year's fan favorites, we once again have a challenge for you: five rather romantic prompts - but make them platonic!
But wait, there's more...
As a little treat for our mini-anniversary, your Modmins got together and voted on their favorite prompts from previous years. We present:
Remember, you can use the Prompt Extras however you like:
to replace a prompt from the original list
to create even more content aside from the original prompts
mixed together to enhance one or more of the other prompts
Whichever way you use them, have fun and go wild š
We hope you like these prompts, and now
Happy Creating š„³

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)
Awww, thank you! And thank you to @mkweber, @letthebrightstarlead, and @dandelionsunset1210 for sending, as well!
Five things I like about myself:
I'm very calm under pressure. Where many people may lose it, I can typically maintain composure and hop into action in a crisis.
I'm a lot more resilient than I used to give myself credit for. Since my mother's stroke in 2018, I've fielded things I never thought I was equipped to deal with, and that impresses me everyday.
I am loyal, but never to a fault. I like to think of myself as a good judge of character and when something is off with someone, I can tell. My loyalty is not blind, but can be steadfast if earned.
I'm dedicated and work very hard, taking charge when I need to and getting tasks done.
Superficially speaking, I think I have some killer eyes. They're hidden behind glasses, of course, but I do love the color. Not quite brown, not not hazel, but something more in between the two.
Thank you again! I'm sorry this took me two days to answer <3
Hey, itās been a while since youāve posted on here. I hope youāre doing okay
Hey there!
Yes, I am well. With my raise came more work responsibilities, so I'm adjusting to that. On top of that, my sister is visiting until the 16th which is always utter chaos and I can never concentrate on anything, so things have been a bit crazy, but I'm doing well, and I'm ok! I'll be back very soon with posts, I promise! Thanks for checking in! <3
