I love your ace Alhaitham and Kaveh fics so much!! 😸
Since you also write for HSR, do you think you might ever do a ace/QPR Dr. Ratio and Aventurine fic at some point? 💖
Awww thank you so much!! 🥹 I’m extremely extremely honored to hear it!! 💜
To be honest, me writing for HSR/Mydei and Phainon is a very special case because I don’t seriously play the game. I watched all of the Amphoreus quests via a stream, and I watched a few recap videos on Penacony (and loved it!), but I just don’t know Dr. Ratio and Aventurine well enough to feel I could write something compelling for them 🥹 It takes a while for me to be compelled enough into a ship to write them, and I just haven’t seen Ratio or Aventurine interact in canon to know their general dynamic.
Also to be entirely honest, I never wrote any of my fics for Alhaitham and Kaveh with the intention of them being ace or QPR haha 💜 but maybe it’s a sign!
"oh since you're a fanfiction author, your favorite part of the game is probably lore! or hangout events!" Wrong. exploration
i write fanfiction not because i am stalling on the game, but because i have finished all the content the game has to offer. At this point i have no choice but to create my own content
"bottom" please consider 🫵 whether the word you are looking for is in fact "submissive" ! because if we decide that taking dick means your personality & character r inherently subservient 😃 we might as well just throw in the towel on the most basic premise of feminism & 🔫 kill ourselves 🎉
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.
at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.
At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.
Anonymous Moos asked: Is there any phaidei fic you're currently reading or read recently that you would recommend right now?
Ooo hmmm…. I have most of my bookmarks public so anything I bookmark is something I liked reading and would want to reread (make sure to check the tags though!!! I am not a fixed shipper in the slightest) Recently… I’ve read Aerynn and Salmonellagogo’s “paint the sun back into your sky” which I would recommend! Currently I’m reading “Blood of life” by Purplie. Both of these fics are ongoing and Purplie’s will have Myphai top/bottom positions. In terms of finished fics I’ve read recently… hm, to be honest, I haven’t been reading fics much as of late 🥹 Usually if I’m writing something big, I’ll fixate on the writing. And I can get really picky about fics too, so honestly my bookmarks are the best bet—even if a lot of the fics I have bookmarked aren’t ones I’ve read recently. Sorry for the unsatisfactory answer!

Anonymous Moos asked: Ehehehe the alpha/alpha fic was so cute. I'm excited for whatever you have planned next
To be honest anon…. Enough people have asked for a side story to a/a fic that I have one in the works! I don’t really do sequels but this one, I think more can be done with Audata and Phainon’s relationship, and Audata and Mydei’s relationship. I have the vague ideas of a plan, but it’ll hopeful be a lot fluffier than the initial story (hopefully. Augh.) Besides that though, I have a few canon-setting ideas. One with Anaxa and jealous Phainon. One with jealous Mydei (I miss writing in his POV and desperately want to put him through some serious blending). And… I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear this, I have a smut bug in me. I really have an urging to write smut. But that probably won’t get posted. 🙂↕️ [Smile or comment on the answer here](https://alterspring.org/@Intenselyreadin/a/116966617681288387)
