Cloak of Life Writings

Fic blog. So far I've written Haylor, Billie x David RPF, The Libertines and Doctor Who.

Currently getting high off my own supply... This story is actually really good lmao! 💀 Very glad I wrote it.

Like genuinely wondering if my writing has gotten worse not better over time. If so, I blame Haylor themselves.

This Is What You Came For

Pairing: Haylor

Rating: Explicit

Summary: It's July 2015 and Taylor and One Direction are in the middle of massive world tours that happen to overlap in London. The media storm has been intense, pitting Taylor and Harry against each other and both of them have struggled not to rise to the bait. As the rivalry spins out of control, Taylor and Harry are forced to confront their lingering feelings for each other, and what clinging to their past means for their future.

What are your thoughts on Harry's new album?

Sorry I never replied to this earlier, I actually love it tbh. Especially Coming Up Roses, I can't describe what that song does to me 😭

[cloakoflife]

I'm a different anon but I think I'll just read AMLT again. I'll probably cry for some parts since I'm so emotional but I know how it ends so it's all worth it

Think I'm gonna read it over Christmas too 😁 Hopefully it sparks some inspiration! ✨

[cloakoflife]

Can we get your masterpiece before Christmas 🎄🥹🥹🥹🥹

Hey really sorry but I've got a lot going on right now, including having just been diagnosed with ADHD which is reeeeally messing with my head so probably not. Have a merry Christmas and re-read the Christmas scenes in AMLT if you so desire? ❤️

[cloakoflife]

Okay so... Productive evening! 😁 I think I know where it's going AND I got 1 1/2 more chapters written.

It already had 4 written and in total it's gonna be 8+ Epilogue.

So only 2 1/2 chapters + Epilogue to go 🤓

[cloakoflife]

Hi and hope you doing well recently 🥺 though I know you dusted This Love but can we have your draft 😭 just some crumbs is OK , craving for haylor smuuut 🥵😩

Ahh it's not gone forever, just for the time being.

I do have that writing itch right now, am thinking of looking over This Is What You Came For. The first half of that is almost completely done, just need to decide where the second half is going... And you know, the point of the entire fic. No Biggie.

Not promising anything but we'll see how it goes. ❤️

[cloakoflife]

Literally just realised that I forgot to post this so hope you're all subscribed to me on AO3 and nobody missed it 💀

I Love Olivia - Sequel to Meredith Knows Best :)

Is everything okay with you? It's okay if you don't wanna write anymore, I'll forever be thankful for everything you have written. But I just wanna know what's happening if you'd be okay with sharing that.

Hey sorry, I don't really have a beta anymore so been finding it hard to write. Got to a certain point with the last in the Midnight series and then basically had to bin it all because it sucked. 😭

I've dusted off the sequel to the Meredith fic this weekend. I don't think it's fantastic but it is almost finished so will definitely post that - probably this week. It just needs some editing.

I can't promise there will be anything else though I'm sorry. I've never really successfully written fic before now, I need, like, a LOT of support and without that I just don't think it's happening. ❤️

[cloakoflife]

anything coming soon? no rush just love your stuff 🩷

Hey unfortunately I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Came to a bit of a dead end on This Love and a bit stuck on everything else too. Sorry about that. 😔 Feel like the Olivia fic is the most likely to get anywhere but can't promise anything.

[cloakoflife]

Do you have people who help you write? I don't mean like literally write your fics. But giving you their opinion, saying what you could add, etc. Or do you do that all on your own?

I do, I have a little team at this point!

Marta is and always has been my biggest and longest-suffering support. She's the person I tell every single idea to first, the person I complain to when I'm struggling and the person who leaves little comments all over my fics that give me the motivation to keep going and make me smile so much. She's also the person who pushes me to be better, if she sees something she doesn't like or agree with or thinks is out of character or doesn't follow the plot or is just plain boring, she tells me. And I value that so much. Having her as a beta reader has made me such a better writer and is why I've been able to be more ambitious in my stories than ever before. She's also a bloody good mate.

I also have itzmakii who is my number 1 cheerleader on discord. She got me through posting the end of AMLT when it had become a slog and I honestly didn't think anyone cared anymore - I knew she did so she kept me going.

Then there's Tsukiakari1203 who helps out with SPAG stuff when I need it - usually with bigger projects like AMLT.

Finally there's Kassi who... kinda just low-key demands smut from time to time and cheers when she gets it. 🤷‍♀️ And I love her for that.

[cloakoflife]

Should probably add to this - I'm always looking for extra support if anyone ever wants to help out! 🙏

[cloakoflife]

Meredith Knows Best is your 13th haylor fic🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 big congratulation 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Looking forward to baby Olivia 🥺

Omg I hadn't realised this! 😂😂 Love it! It's a good 13th I think!

Thannnks I'm simultaneously working on that and the last installment of the Midnights universe, This Love!

Olivia (working title, obvs) will definitely be finished first though as it will only be roughly about as long as the Meredith one. This Love will be a full length fic 😁

Hopefully posting the epilogue for A Million Little Times tomorrow and that just seems.... So legitimately crazy to me.

What a ride. Actually can't wait to read this fic back in the years to come. I'm like, so super proud that I wrote something that's over 150k words and I actually stuck with it. And it's good. Well at least, I think it is anyway.

So yeah. Go me!

Also, writing the cat fic was so much fun and so easy I'd love some more prompts so I can knock out a few more short n sweet fics before I dive back into something more substantial. Ideally prompts with a little bit of spice to them! 🔥
