while i'm here! beautiful commission of my oc amoret & tom for my fic paper confines, made by my friend @omenthree <3

inspired by the kiss / le baiser nacré.

[fatesundress]

How come I haven't seen your 49 CHAPTER FIC ?? Love your stories and respect you a lot as an author. It won't be quick but I will gladly read every word!

it was user-locked on ao3 for about two/three years (whenever that big ai scrape happened) so that might be why!! otherwise i mainly talk about it on my other accounts. but thank you so much, i hope you enjoy it!! <3

[fatesundress]

hello, long time no see, i hope everyone is doing well :')

i wanted to share an update that my tom longfic, paper confines, is finally complete on ao3 and wattpad, and i've temporarily unlocked it for guests on ao3. i am working on a little something else but if my work interests you, support would mean a lot especially now that it's no longer a wip! i've poured most of my soul (ironically) the last seven years (also ironic) into this story and am so so proud to have finished it.

will be back soon!! <3

Hi amazing writer, I know you don’t write for Tom on here anymore. But I was wondering if writing commissions are a thing? It might be a silly question but I have a plot idea for Tom that I cannot write myself and would love to see you bring to life.

Sorry if that is a super weird thing to ask. I thought why not give it a shot because I love your writing. And also I promise it’s nothing freaky at all and I have no plans to post your work on any platform that would be strange. It would just be a special thing for me to get me through tough times. Greatly appreciated :)

hi lovely!! it’s not weird at all and i would love to hear your idea! unfortunately i wouldn’t take comms for fics because of the fine line of legality fanfic teeters on, but i really appreciate it :’) feel free to send me another ask or a private message!

Who made the Dark Lord angry?

[fatesundress]

Happy new year! <3 Your Tom fics are such a source of joy and inspiration for me! May you have a wonderfully joyous year full of inspiration as well! ✨️

AWWW thank you so much, i'm so glad :')

happy new year, i wish you the best!!

[fatesundress]

still the 31st here but happy new year! (and happy tom day) wishing all of you the best 🤍

still your birthday

pairing: bf!levi x reader

tags: modern au / comfort & domestic fluff / soft levi / established relationship/ sfw / 710 w.

summary: when you wake up sick on your birthday, all your plans fall apart but levi stays by your side, quietly cancelling the world to make sure you’re warm, cared for, and loved

notes: sorry i haven’t been posting cuz i was busy + now im sick (influenza a) on my birthday >:( all my plans are ruined but that’s okay 😭🙆🏻‍♀️

you wake up to the sound of rain tapping against the window and the unmistakable weight in your bones that tells you something is wrong.

your head throbs. your throat is sore. your body feels like it’s made of wet sand. you try to sit up.

bad idea.

the room tilts slightly, nausea curling low in your stomach, and you let out a weak sound before collapsing back into the pillows.

“…great” you mumble.

of all days.

it’s your birthday.

you’d had plans, nothing huge, but dinner, cake, levi pretending he didn’t plan anything while very clearly planning everything. you’d teased him about it all week.

now you can barely lift your arms.

the door creaks open.

levi freezes the second he sees you still in bed.

“…you’re awake” he says slowly, eyes scanning you the way they do when something’s off.

you try to smile. it comes out crooked. “happy birthday to me”

he’s at your side in two strides, the back of his hand pressing gently to your forehead.

his jaw tightens.

“you’re burning up”

“mmh” you hum weakly. “multitalented”

“don’t joke” he mutters, already turning toward the bathroom. “did you sleep at all?”

“define sleep”

he returns with a thermometer, water, and pills like he’s done this a thousand times. you barely have the energy to protest when he helps you sit up, arm firm and steady around your shoulders.

the thermometer beeps.

levi exhales through his nose.

“fever” he says. “and you’re shaking”

“it’s cold” you murmur, even though you’re sweating.

he pulls the blankets up higher around you, tucking them in with careful hands.

“you’re not going anywhere today” he says flatly.

you sigh. “my birthday plans…”

“can wait”

you glance up at him, eyes glassy and tired. “you worked so hard on them”

he pauses.

then, quieter: “you being okay matters more”

that alone almost makes you cry.

he helps you take the medicine, holds the glass steady when your hands tremble. when you sink back into the pillows, exhausted, he sits on the edge of the bed instead of leaving.

“head hurts” you whisper.

his hand immediately moves to your temple, thumb pressing gently in slow circles. it’s instinctive, practiced. he watches your breathing like he’s memorizing it.

“body ache too?” he asks.

you nod.

“stomach?”

“a little”

he clicks his tongue softly, annoyed but not at you, but at the universe.

“should’ve noticed sooner” he mutters.

you frown. “that’s not fair. i thought i was just tired”

“you’re always pushing yourself” he says, but there’s no bite in it. just worry.

you drift in and out of sleep while he stays. you wake to the sound of him on the phone, voice low and curt.

“yeah. she’s sick. no, i don’t care. reschedule”

another time, you wake to the smell of soup.

another time, to him carefully wiping your forehead with a cool cloth.

“levi…” your voice cracks, fever making everything heavier. “i’m ruining today”

he looks at you and something soft breaks through his usual composure.

“hey” he says, gently cupping your cheek. “don’t say that”

“but—”

“listen” he interrupts quietly. “you don’t owe today anything. i don’t care about plans. i care about you”

your eyes burn.

“…i wanted today to be good”

he leans down, pressing his forehead to yours, careful of your heat.

“it is” he murmurs. “you’re here. that’s enough”

later, when you wake again, the rain has eased. the room is dim and warm. there’s a small cupcake on the bedside table with a single candle, unlit.

levi notices you staring.

“…when you feel up to it” he says. “no pressure”

you manage a tiny smile. “you’re ridiculous”

“yeah” he agrees. “but you love me”

he helps you sit up just enough, wraps a blanket tighter around your shoulders. instead of lighting the candle, he just holds your hand.

“happy birthday” levi says softly. “even like this”

you squeeze his fingers weakly.

“…best one yet”

he snorts, but his thumb rubs circles into your palm.

and if you fall asleep before the candle ever gets lit, levi doesn’t mind at all.

he stays right there, making sure you’re warm, safe, and loved.

exactly how he wants you to be.

just sum submissive hange fanarts

im lowkwy going crazy now.

[rinnatorr]

i heard he's very persuasive!!

wanted to post this one a long time ago but never got the time to finish it

[fatesundress]

Hey! this thought just came to me when was rereading some of your fantastic writing. Correct me if I'm wrong (I very well could be confused) but I think you mentioned once before that you used to write poetry and that helps with your writing style. did you upload that anywhere because i'd love to read it.

aww thank you so much! i did upload it but it's since been taken down as i had a few run-ins with plagiarism that deterred me from posting original works. fic is one thing but poetry is so personal that i was disheartened for a long time from the prospect of sharing it publicly (unless eventually published properly), but i've been reconsidering maybe putting it on instagram or something? i haven't given it a whole lot of thought but i also haven't been writing poetry recently and am probably a bit rusty </3 i'll update if i decide to put it anywhere!

[kosmogrl]

don’t take my defeatism too seriously I will always begin again and again no matter what

[fatesundress]

every time i think of the netflix adaptation i gag a little icl 😔 glad to see someone else noticing the random ageing up and disapproving because imo it diminishes their characters and backstories so much to change their ages!! and basically nobody online has anything critical to say about it… like it’s soooo baffling to me that they can just remove the ages for all of the main cast and change the actual writing of the books for the tenth anniversary editions and not announce it?? like isn’t that kind of a significant thing to leave out of the official announcement when people are paying money to collect these books… sooooo strange!!

and ik it was leigh bardugos choice but it feels high key disrespectful to the readers who Loved the original duology- we were expecting at least the books (let’s just not mention the netflix adaptation bc Dear God…) to be faithful to its characters!! and the covers are sooo not it too !! the art and color scheme doesn’t relate to the books in any way!!!! my excitement for the upcoming third book is severely lowered by the fact that the author can just adjust the original characters and story to make it easier for the netflix-only fans to better understand- i have no idea what to expect for kanej and the cast anymore because they’ve literally been turned into different characters now 😭 (i have a lot to say abt this series sorry!!! feel free to ignore this lol)

this is how i find out about a third book... free me

also don’t apologize! i used to vent about the grishaverse ALL the time, these anniversary editions are just rekindling a spark i’d buried in the months after season two + rule of wolves.

the netflix adaptation was not even horrible as adaptive material (although it was that too) but on a technical level it’s one of the worst tv shows i’ve ever seen in my life. i had an essay about it years ago that i unfortunately didn’t back up and so is lost forever, rest in peace, but there are a lot of issues i take with the show down to scene arrangement/blocking (jesper and wylan’s forced proximity while getting shot at from under a comically large cart + the darkling somehow taking genya and david by surprise in broad daylight in an open field come to mind) that completely destroyed my immersion even when attempting to separate it from the books. i basically reject the whole premise of the grisha trilogy and its politics, so before season one released i was absolutely down with the show’s promotion advertising changes to that aspect of the story, but it just deteriorated so abysmally by season two that even that was wasted. six of crows was a mess from the casting alone; it had the benefit of charismatic actors with a lot of chemistry, but that was it. i’m still appalled people call it book-accurate casting.

aging up characters without consideration for how it changes the story, biphobic stereotypes and erasure (and flanderization of jesper’s character on that note), the crows—INEJ—having no principles on human fucking trafficking (until it occurs to her that alina is actually a saint so then selling her is bad i guess), killing off tante heleen offscreen, every single corny line given to kaz, the atrocious flashback sequences, an unearned crooked kingdom plotline shoehorned into the high school production of The Grishaverse stageplay that was season two, etcetera… this is a preview of the issues i took with the crows’ storyline in the show. if i tried to account for everything wrong with it across both adaptations i would lose years of my life to my rage.

like you said, the lack of announcement is the weirdest part of all of this, and maybe lb has just been on my bad side since i spent about a year trying to slog through king of scars and ninth house only to angrily dnf both, but there’s something almost malicious about the lack of transparency. considering the acclaim of the show among most fans, no doubt there are plenty of people who would leap to buy these editions regardless; some people even admit to changing the characters’ ages in their heads while reading, so there’s an audience for it. i believe a ninth house adaptation is in the works as well, which means money shouldn’t be an issue, not that withholding that information would be justified if it were. let your fans make purchases with discernment. it’s just weird.

i’m glad to have my original copies and i doubt i’ll be reading anything else put out in this universe… a shudder ran through me at the thought…. i shan’t….

[fatesundress]

the sudden and unannounced changes in the new six of crows editions are so odd… beyond characterizations being significantly different solely by aging the cast up (i’m inclined to say matthias is the most egregious but it’s really all of them), is this to justify the awful netflix adaptation two years post hoc or what? 😭 a reminder if anything to hold onto your physical media i guess…

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

When you’re peacefully reading x reader fanfics and you keep seeing the author microdosing that the reader is blonde (straight hair) without actually introducing it in the beginning, which interrupts the immersion and defeats the point of x reader fics...And it keeps happening until you start to feel like you're Sydney Sweeney in the American Eagle ad...And then you realize it's not x reader fic for the actual readers, it's the white American author's self insert because who else would be that absurdly proud of being blonde...At that point, you're weirded out and wish they had just made it OC to begin with...

I can forgive preteen Wattpad writers but when you’re a grown woman...

[fatesundress]

i’ve been very on and off about properly connecting my other socials to my writing on here (primarily because i don’t write smut anywhere else lol) but due to my inactivity i’m going to leave them permanently for those who do wish to interact with both me and my work on more than the random occasion i check in here.

i post edits (and the occasional tom analysis on tiktok), and as mentioned a few times i do have a tom longfic on my other ao3/wattpad account. most of my socials are @sainteda and i’m far more active on instagram, tiktok, wattpad and discord. i have no plans for a consistent schedule at the moment and i want to be transparent about that! in any case, don’t be a stranger c:
