ao3 | tumblr tag | welcome to my masterlist

open to all asks, unless you are kashin or other individuals who I won't be naming. you know who you are.

i write pretty much exclusively for chaol westfall x yrene towers (throne of glass). I write mostly for Chaol x Yrene (Throne of Glass) and Elain x Lucien (ACOTAR).

multichapter fics:

ELUCIEN: MY HOUSE OF STONE, MEADOWSWEET GROWS (tumblr | ao3)

Elain shivered, and despite herself, despite every reason why she had shied away from the male sprawled before her, she gingerly placed two fingers to his throat, where his pulse beat – a junction between life and death. Elain seems perfectly content to ignore Lucien, the mating bond and the way the Inner Circle quietly but unmistakably sets her aside. But when Lucien falls suddenly, grievously ill on the Winter Solstice, hiding may no longer be an option. And when a visit to the Dawn Court - famed for its healing - seems imminent, can Elain find it in her to leave the Night Court for a foreign land and abandon all she has ever known for her mate's sake? Written for Elucien Week 2026.

CHAORENE: HONEY, HELL IS WHEN I FIGHT WITH YOU (tumblr | ao3)

Gods damn it, why did everything circle back to his wife? ... His wife, that he was definitely fuming at. He was furious at her. Absolutely. Chaol and Yrene have had a fight, and both of them equally stubborn, are trying to avoid each other as much as possible. But when a ball forces them to go to the palace together, and a common enemy (who might share the last name Westfall) re-emerges, they might have no choice but to work together...

CHAORENE: THE MOST BRILLIANT FATHER (tumblr | ao3)

“That I didn’t back him in his newest proposal at court, that I still hadn’t upheld my promise, what a disgrace I was to the family name.” He meant the words in jest, but he couldn’t help the current of tension that ran underneath it. Chaol and Yrene have had a baby and it seems they couldn't get any happier. But Chaol has some doubts and fears... it's up to Yrene to convince him otherwise. Written for SJM Romance Week 2025.

CHAORENE: WHAT THE STORM BRINGS (tumblr | ao3)

Chaol and Yrene are enjoying a peaceful retreat to the beaches in Antica when the confession slips out. Written for SJM Romance Week 2025.

CHAORENE: STARS AND GOOSEBERRIES (tumblr | ao3)

Chaol and Yrene are glad to move into their new house after surviving the greatest war of their lifetimes. Years later, along with their two-year-old daughter, an old family tradition is reintroduced. Written for SJM Romance Week 2025.

CHAORENE: HAPPINESS, HERE IT WAS (tumblr, ao3)

Snow arrives in Adarlan for the first time in the three years after the war. Chaol and Yrene decide it is time to show their three-year-old daughter exactly what snow - and a snowman - is.

YRENELAIN: ETERNALLY TOWARD THE SUN (tumblr, ao3)

What happens two people who have squashed their own identities for other people's sake and remained kind throughout it all find each other? In which Elain and Yrene fall in love. Written for SJM Sapphic Showdown, Day 3 - Slice of Life.

completed ficlets: (under 1000 words)

CHAORENE: CAROB SWEETS (ao3)

Chaol and Yrene visiting a sweet shop in Antica during Tower of Dawn. Just fluff.

CHAORENE: LET THE SUNSHINE IN (tumblr, ao3)

Yrene takes Chaol sunbathing - but Chaol really, really doesn't want to go. (Microfic based on the words 'help' and 'sunbathing'.)

Today feels like a great day to say no one could ever make me hate Lucien.

'What are you thinking about?'

Oh nothing, just rereading 'too wise to love' over and over again and not getting over the fact that Ash was so lucky that Sebastian- 'There is no love here' -Morgenstern died before he was born, just for him to end up in Thule. Cassie please! That was the most disturbing short story I've ever read on an emotional level.

"But AI can't do your job. It can help you do your job, but that doesn't mean it's going to save anyone money. Take radiology: there's some evidence that AIs can sometimes identify solid-mass tumors that some radiologists miss, and look, I've got cancer. Thankfully, it's very treatable, but I've got an interest in radiology being as reliable and accurate as possible. If my Kaiser hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: "Hey folks, here's the deal. Today, you're processing about 100 x-rays per day. From now on, we're going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you've missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you're only processing 98 x-rays per day. That's fine, we just care about finding all those tumors." If that's what they said, I'd be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market's bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: "Look, you fire 9/10s of your radiologists, saving $20m/year, you give us $10m/year, and you net $10m/year, and the remaining radiologists' job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed, and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it's catastrophically wrong. "And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist's fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis." This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes. This is another key to understanding – and thus deflating – the AI bubble. The AI can't do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job. This is key because it helps us build the kinds of coalitions that will be successful in the fight against the AI bubble." - Cory Doctorow, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI

Your emotional scene that you've edited five times doesn't hit to you because you read it five times, not because it sucks.

Another horrible merch idea straight from my brain. I woke up in the middle of the night to draw this.

[gracerockyyes]

I would unironically love this

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

forgot that being obsessed with fictional characters is not something normal people do. I hear someone say they’re too obsessed with a fictional character and for a moment I’m like “???? and what about it? isn’t that like??? normal???” then I realize that for a lot of people, it’s not.

I genuinely cannot imagine not being obsessed with the characters from the media I hyperfixate on and I genuinely cannot imagine not having a piece of media to hyperfixate on 😭

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

unpopular opinion probably but I actually like that ao3 doesn’t let people take back their kudos.

unlike social media platforms (which ao3 is not) where people unlike stuff whenever they think or find out the original posters’ moral compass doesn’t perfectly align with their own’s or whatever, and “likes” can be taken back at any time, ao3 treats kudos as something sacred. once you give it, it’s the author’s to keep forever.

For @elucienweekofficial Day 6 - Scars (as well as a birthday post 🤭)

Not every scar is visible, many are carried quietly and hidden behind smiles. Elain and Lucien have both been through so much in their lives, but they still choose not to give up.

I think one of the most beautiful things that will come from their mating bond is the chance to heal with someone who understands the weight of quiet pain without needing it explained.

Love can’t erase the past, but it can make healing a little easier. I really believe they’ll find the peace they’ve both been searching for in each other 💖

Spiderman: Brand New Day was actually a 2 hour documentary on how repressing your emotions will fucking kill you

[edenisquiet]

imagine if odysseus came back to penelope but brought with him a never before known creature that he has an unhealthy codepency with but the creature was also the one to give up trying to return to its home in favor of saving odysseus. and the creature cant get on land or it dies immediately.

[sajdd]

can we talk about the fact that grace & rocky (platonically or romantically) are literally the epitome of "loved to the point of invention" i feel sick whenever i think about them. inventing ways to communicate. inventing ways to live together. inventing ways to save the planet. inventing ways to save each other. inventing ways to almost touch. inventing ways to send each other home. it never ends. they love each other so fucking much i feel like throwing up
