Welcome to my Tumblr! You can call me BlueCat (any pronouns are fine). I like to write fic and draw silly lil Gothic/Victorian lit characters.

All my Ao3 fics are linked above. Mostly Dracula, with some other Victorian and Gothic lit too: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, and Moby Dick.

Damn I really can’t stop myself

[draculings]

thinking very hard about Mr. R.M. Renfield on this day (dracula daily folks who don't want spoilers, stop reading here!)

do you ever think about how Renfield was able to pluck the Count from thin air, as mist, and hold him so tightly that he was forced to take physical form to get free again and that Renfield was able to do so simply because he believed that he could, wanted to badly enough and what if October wasn't the first time because I think about that... Just A Little Bit

The promised horny Jack/Quincey fic

This idea has been tumbling around in my head for a couple weeks now, but I finally started it! Gonna be a multichap of Jack just dying on the inside at all times. Unstoppable force (being in love with Quincey) vs. immovable object (Jack's internalized homophobia). Enjoy!

Scenes from Jack and Quincey's relationship, from meeting at university to post-canon. [The fic is rated Explicit, although this chapter would be rated G.]

Chapter 2! Jack gets weird about fantasizing and touching; Quincey just needs help with his homework.

Chapter 3! (This is where we get into Explicit territory.) Jack makes some bad decisions; Quincey spends the evening trying to babysit his drunk friends.

*slaps fic* You can fit so much bad sex in this bad boy

Jack gets to Amsterdam in this chapter! Philosophical conversations with Van Helsing and hijinks with a guy whose name he can't remember ensue.

Chapter 5: France! Quincey gets a girlfriend; Jack fantasizes about said girlfriend falling off a cliff.

Chapter 6: After ghosting Quincey for a whole school year, Jack gets an invite to his graduation.

Chapter seven: Siberia! The boys narrowly escape some wolves, and Jack has to tend Quincey's hurt shoulder. (Also Quincey starts acting really weird. Jack is confused. Ah, it's probably nothing.)

Chapter eight: Hillingham. We are in canon territory now! CW for Jack being unreasonably horny about needles.

Chapter 9: Jack begins to think that a pat on the shoulder and a sob in unison might not be a sufficient way to comfort someone. Perhaps he should give that whole "kissing someone on the forehead" thing a try. What could go wrong?

Chapter 10, in which Jack and Quincey deal with the fallout of chapter 9's "momentary indiscretion." Jack handles it very well (lying).

Chapter 11: Arthur to the rescue! In which Jack manages to finally get out of his own head.

Chapter 12: Just 5,000 words of porn with feelings. You're welcome. <3

Jack and Quincey are on the road! Always time for some porn with feelings, though...

After a bit of a hiatus, the penultimate chapter! The canon divergence is canon-diverging...

[bluecatwriter]

I finally finished it! Just a little final chapter with Jack and Quincey being snarky and talking dirty. :) Thanks so much to everyone who's followed along on this journey!

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

[newskyillusion]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasn’t updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope you’re alright

[azrielgreen]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket

Had a terrible (recurring) nightmare last night that I was being chased by a t-rex. I hate this kind of dream because it's always the same absolute abject terror, but the t-rex I'm running from is specifically the very janky animatronic one from the St. Louis Science Center.

He terrified me as a kid and he terrifies me to this day. XD

[bluecatwriter]

Another angle so you can see his chubby lil cheeks. This is what caused me to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat

My neighbor hosts a monthly crafting meet-up, and Kinusaiga was my favorite craft yet! You start with a styrofoam block with a pattern cut into it and then push fabric into the shapes, like coloring a coloring page with extra steps. One of the neighbors brought in a huge bunch of scraps from her mom who's a champion quilt-maker. I'm so happy with how this turned out!
