This Beetch is Writing (Apparently)

Hey! Thanks for following me from AO3! I'm DovahDoes, and I have an infinite number of fics at any time, it feels like, and I figured I may as well share bits and pieces of those and whatever else I'm working on, here. [[Fandoms I write for/in: Far Cry 3, The Shrine, Hellboy, and Lucifer (TV).]]

Turns out being super stressed, arguably suicidal, and recently injured can trigger a kitsune inheritance (if your name is Kaeya). Luckily, the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine is in the market for a protégé-- even if they're stuck in fox form. *

"The mingled scents of ice and old blood get stronger yet as she actually approaches the trunk of the tree, and interestingly, something begins to tickle at her kitsune sense for magic, too.

  Almost expecting an ill-appreciated prank from another of her kind, she rapidly darts around the wide bend of the Great Tree to face the perpetrator on its other side.

  There is most definitely one of her kin, here, but they are in no condition to cause any mischief, ill-appreciated or otherwise; huddled between two above-ground roots is a trembling, nearly unconscious kit. Its dark bluish fur is tinted almost purple due to the light of the rapidly setting sun and all the pink of the yumemiru tree, nearby, and it is coated in a thin layer of frost from nose to rump— either as a last-ditch effort of self-defense from enemies, or perhaps due to losing control over the seemingly brand new cryo vision sitting nearby."

Chapters: 4/4 Fandom: Hellboy (Movies 2004-2008) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: John Myers/Nuada Characters: Nuada (Hellboy), Nuala (Hellboy), John Myers, Hellboy (Hellboy), Abe Sapien, Tom Manning, Original Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Established Relationship, More background Nuala/Abe, we love them, this was supposed to incorporate St Patricks day but then the plot took over lol, Zinco Corp, Blood, Flashbacks, Dreams, that's right-- they're back, Reincarnation, OR IS IT, Soulmates, You'll finally find out, Whump, a bit of, Light Angst, Hellboy is here in person finally, Nuada is not jazzed but when is he tbh, Anyway there's little bits of, Humor, Or at least an, Attempt at Humor, oop forgot to add:, Identity Reveal, (s?), Protective Nuada, shocking-- I know Series: Part 4 of Midnight Travels, Part 10 of John/Nuada Meet-Cutes Summary:

John's team is called in for a pretty routine investigation at Zinco Corp's headquarters in New Jersey. Unfortunately, whoever is pulling the strings at the mysterious corporation seems to have taken a less than routine interest in one specific team member. (You can guess which one.)

That being said, Nuada has a personal and vested interest in that very same person and would very much like him back, now. And if a few long-standing questions are answered in the process, well, that just saves him and Nuala a bit of trouble, probably.

*

[To nutshell this fic: John has a pretty Bad Time, Nuada is both angry and worried in equal amounts, Hellboy comes along for the ride, spooky people dress spookily, Nuala is an excellent actress, and we finally get some (perhaps partial) answers as to just what the hell is going on around here, lately.]

It was supposed to be a literal walk in the park, but some new True Knot member had thoroughly ruined that idea when she came after Crow Daddy and Dan. The fight is a near thing, but Dan successfully tries out a new trick, and Crow gets a whole set of new ones out of the ordeal.

And Rose? Rose is inordinately glad to have her fool men back, even if one's come back more bumped and bruised mentally than physically.

Luckily, Rose the Hat is keen on tending to those types of hurts when it suits her. (It goes without saying that Dan suits her-- suits her and Crow-- just fine) *

Time. To Post Links. To All The Fics. I Forgot. To Link To. From Here. -_-

It’s my biannual (or this that semiannual?...) post confirming that I am, in fact, alive!  yeehaw.

Here comes a bunch of posts linking to fics~.

And yes, I have a ‘what I’m working on’ post in my drafts that I’ll post in a few days. ....Probably this weekend.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Hellboy (Movies 2004-2008) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: JxN Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Humor, Or at least an, Attempt at Humor, Domestic, Makeup, Directly related to that is a very oblivious John, Who gets roasted for being oblivious, Established Relationship, Hints of Plot, sprinkled in here and there, Abe/Nuala mentioned/background, This is like 15 percent, Crack, tbh, also that's makeup as in Nuada wears it not like there's a break-up anywhere lol Series: Part 3 of Midnight Travels, Part 9 of John/Nuada Meet-Cutes Summary:

John notices something.... different about Nuada's appearance one morning. Nuada, meanwhile, wonders how John didn't notice it before now.

OR

I wrote crackfic about John noticing that yeah, Nuada's wearing makeup, dude, and then Nuada roasting him for not catching on earlier. Then I scaled it back to just fluff with a humorous tilt (hopefully), with the barest suggestion of plot around the edges to keep it in this AU. lol

[dovahdoes]

JxN Fic snippet

Honestly?  This is definitely a bit of a crackfic that I managed to sneak a reference to plot into, thus making it “part of a series” and not just a proper one-shot like I was half-considering.  (Really, tho, it can def be read on its own w/o context from anything else in the series, so....)  Snippet behind the cut!

--  ~  --

John, now far less bleary, feels himself blushing what must be wretchedly red in the cheeks and tips of his ears.

 “No… Nuada, stooooppp.  You know I’m terrible with these things.”

 Now John is beginning to laugh himself, helplessly. Turning over and burying himself into Nuada’s clothed hip and feeling weapon-calloused fingers fondly run through his sleep-mussed hair. But although Nuada can be nice (more-so to John than to almost anyone else, at that), he is, at heart, kind of an asshole.

 So he keeps going; no way is the early-morning roast session anywhere near done yet.

--  ~  --

The subject of the fic?  Two key words: obliviousness and makeup.  [This should be posted tomorrow (or Monday at the absolute latest), so keep an eye out. :3 ]

I’m back (I’m pretty sure)! 😑🎉

Had The Virus as a cool new years gift last year (still have some unenviable long haul symptoms-- 0/10 would not recommend), almost lost a grandparent to the Rona as well (which.... he’s not been doing great for a long time, anyway so...), moved out of my mom’s house again because her partner was very badly exacerbating my already shot mental health, and scheduled several procedures I’ve been putting off to deal with some health issues.

Whew!

All that being said, things actually have been looking up for the last few months, overall, since I moved out, so it’s been mostly good things lately. 😊

Mentally, I’m doing better than I have maybe in a couple of years (yeehaw!), I’m actually taking care of my health/actively treating whatever things I can (versus putting them off bc of either finances or lack of motivation), I’ve linked back up with people that care about me that I was isolating from (often purposefully), I really really like my new place, things are going great at work (got a raise and am up for a promotion in the next 2 or so months), and best of all, I’m actually enjoying my hobbies again.

That is, I’m writing fic again. c:<  (And doing re-reads, re-watches, re-playthroughs, and whatever else for pretty much all of my fandoms.)

So!  I actually just banged out my first fic since my Mental Health Swandive of ~ 3 yrs ago, and I don’t entirely hate it.  I’ll probably post a snippet here tomorrow-ish, and finish editing it by the time I head back to work on Wednesday (bc ya girl has a ~procedure~ on Tuesday, babyyyy 😎).

After I can focus on other stuff, I’ll see how expanding into multiple fandoms again feels, in case I only have the energy/brainjuice for one at a time now that I’m ‘rusty’ at creating. hahah

If anybody’s still out there waiting for fic, I think some just might be coming. ;p  Just gotta back into shape so it’s half-decent....

Where are you, Dovah?! I'm missing your 'Shall We Not Revenge' series!

Ironic that when I log back on to Tumblr for the first time in months, that the fandom I’m currently invested in is the one an anon or 2 has sent asks for. #xfilesmusic

Continuing from the post I just made, if all goes well, I might end up posting one of my old ‘what i’m working on’ updates.  That or some fic snippets (from several different fandoms).  So.... keep an eye out this holiday season??

[dovahdoes]

How's it going, DovahDoes? Any plans for writing more of your 'Shall We Not Revenge' series? I know it's been a few months, but I still find myself re-reading both fics quite often, and I'm craving more!

(Actual live view of my bed, rn. ;]  Blurred out the brain-storming/half-written fic.)

Heyyo!  Just beginning to see the light at the end of a v v long dark tunnel (or maybe I’m just manic. 🤷‍♀️) and have been gently trying to get back into the writing game.  I’ve already re-read The Shining and am about 1/4 way through Doctor Sleep.

No promises, as work is still bonkers/stressful, rn, at my full-time job (what with patients still trying to walk into the office without fucking masks on), and just tiring at my part-time one (bc retail during the holidays is A Nightmare.

But... yeah. My brain is capable of actually deriving a measure of enjoyment/pleasure from my hobbies, again, so I might be back soon? <33  Thanks so much for checking in!  Sorry that I’ve hardly logged on, here, to check my messages. D:

P.S. I, too, occasionally re-read those 2 fics and wish for another entry in the series. lol.

What I’m Working On: May/June 2020

uh.... nothing. lol.

The mental health dice were rolled and turns out that the thing my brain finds most pleasing at the moment isn’t writing fic. 🤷‍♀️

So... playing a lot of WoW, getting as much sleep as my lil chronically fatigued ass can handle.  I’m also *just* now getting back to work on a limited basis.  Which is... not ideal with how little PPE we have and how the amount of patients is iffy at best...

2020 started off with me losing a grandparent and only got worse from there, so it turns out I’m on a hiatus of sorts?  Didn’t intend to be, but my brain does not want to Do the Writing at all.

Sorry folks!  (I do still have enough juices flowing to at least brainstorm new ideas or how to continue old ones, but putting it to ‘paper’ just ain’t happening right now.)

Stay safe out there, kind readers! <33  I’ll be back at it eventually.

[dovahdoes]

Just wanted to let you know how wonderful your newest Doctor Sleep fic was! I can't wait to read more of your series! :)

(But for real– thanks so so so much, anon! More’s coming soon~.)

Links to the fics I posted ~1 wk ago

What kinda operation am I running, here?  Not even linking to shit when I post it. smh

Behind the cut, you’ll find links, summaries, etc. for the new D/octor S/leep fic I posted, the new H/ellboy fic, and the H/ellboy fic I updated with new chapters. :]

It's Valentine's Day at the BPRD, and John is one of Those People who actually enjoys the hyper-commercialized holiday. He's just not all too sure about how Nuada will take this blatantly... human tradition.

(Spoiler: Nuada's... kind of really into it, so long as it involves John.)

This fic features: a non-traditional bouquet as a gift, a complete stranger who 'ships it', a romantic pic-a-nic, and a gratuitous amount of smut. Like, almost a whole chapter of it.

Oh, and a little bit of plot, or whatever, I guess. *
