Can you tell us about your tmfu fic you listed for the wip bang? 📝😊
Sure! I've mentioned it a few times before here, because it's been lingering foreverrrrr (mentions of this fic on my blog go back to 2021 lol), it's a fic where Napoleon is an art restorer/art thief and Illya owns a small art gallery. It was born from an idea of an art thief who steals paintings but not to sell them, but because they're in bad condition and need to be restored, and he returns them after the fact.
I talked in more detail about it here, and there are snippets here, here, and here. Thanks for your interest!! I am looking forward to finally buckling down and finishing this one.
Got tags from @pippinoftheshire and @justabigoldnerd for this game, which means I have 8 words to look for. Which is good because 4 of them weren't in the doc. Back to the Jurassic Park AU with us, I am getting this one out this month!!
My Words: Nod, Drift, Proud, Pale, realise, dust, sunset, paragon
Nod
If he wrote tragic queer literary fiction, people would nod appreciatively and look impressed. Instead, most of the intellectual types he’s interacted with over the years look down on the genre, and he finds—despite their rocky start—that he’d be disappointed if Alex was the same.
Pale
A desert-coloured Jeep sits to one side, a figure clade in pale clothes and a broad hat leaning against its side. As they get closer he watches the figure raise a slim arm and press down on the crown on their hat while the wash from the helicopter blades buffets them, clothes plastered against their body to reveal a decidedly feminine silhouette.
Realise (funnily enough even spelled this way even though I normally wouldn't, bc this is Henry POV)
He grabs a handful of napkins from the neat stack nearby and starts trying to sop up the mess, so focused on the task that he doesn’t realise that he’s reaching for Alex’s damp and reddened hand. “Christ, please tell me you’re not hurt.”
Dust (this one's kind of stretching it but so it goes)
The chatter of conversation, laughter, the occasional whoop from the video game contingent—GoldenEye this time, from the looks of it—and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust spinning over a mismatched sound system in the background. Henry had let himself be cajoled into joining them after dinner, just for a short time, but hours later he’s still here watching Alex bend over the pool table to take a shot.
Tagging folks below to participate, but also anyone else who wants to play, please jump in! Find the words I provide in one or several WIPs, and quote a sentence or two that contain them.
Hi! So I've been meaning to stop by forever! So first of all I love your firstprince fics , like absolutely adore them, pretty sure I've read some more than once.. I also stopped by to tell you a funny story.. now I didn't see Fall Guy when it came out.. but I did read your fic and didn't really pay attention to the fact that it's a Fall Guy au. Cut to a year later when I finally see Fall Guy on a streaming platform and I was like I know this story, why is it so familiar and then It struck me!! Your fic!! So I just had to tell you I loved the story you crafted for Alex and Henry and between you and me, I loved your story more! And I was watching the film, in my head I was totally imaging Alex and Henry.. And this happened to me twice!!! I had never seen Hot Fuzz and just recently watched it and once again deja vu😊😊😊😊 anyways long story short I love your fics and can't wait to read the next one!
OMG I love this so much, I honestly take pride in introducing people to some of my favorite movies through my AUs of them. And just between you and me, the BEST compliment is people telling me that they like my version better. 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for stopping by my ask box to leave this note and tell me the story, you are so kind and this absolutely made my day. And also it's funny bc my next one is also a movie AU, and I had been like "oh everyone's seen Jurassic Park" but apparently SOME people have not... like one of my betas... 🤣 *cough*@celeritas2997*cough* So I hope you will enjoy it!

Based on this incredible fossil. I return from the dead to bring you: my favourite dinosaur!!! Did you know powered flight/bird-like creatures likely evolved multiple times?? Modern birds are the only lineage that still persists, but many other pseudo-birds co-existed with them in the Jurassic and Cretaceous.
Also I still don't have my new ipad and apple pencil lol I'm waiting for the case to ship and it's gonna take A While.

If he’s honest, he should have known a hundred times before this. There’s no reason why this revelation should be happening now, and frankly, it’s damned inconvenient.
But then again, there’s probably no convenient time to realize how fucking head over heels in love you are with your best friend, just because he called you husband in the middle of a fucking job.
(Or, Bronco has some big fucking feelings about the first time Sid calls him “husband.” And every time after that, too.)
