I'm on AO3! Come say hi!
If you have a prompt for me, send it to me here. All my writing is going to be kept solely on AO3, but I will post a notification on Tumblr once I've filled a prompt.
A million thank-yous to @tomatette for giving me an AO3 account, and for their boundless patience in answering all my silly questions.
Brightflame vs. The 21st Century Or: How Aerion Targaryen Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Oyster Card - Chapter 6 - “Balerion”
Guess who isn't dead?
First order of business: Check out this amazing playlist that Biggus_Dickus on AO3 made for my silly little au! It's perfection!
Second order of business: Neither Aemond x Aerion nor Aegon II x Daeron (The Drunken) have official ship names, and I'm here to change that. Aemond x Aerion is hereby known as "BrightEye" and Aegon II x Daeron (The Drunken) is hereby known as "Dreamsurper". Any arguments?
This is one of those chapters where I’ve decided to stop fiddling and just post before I drive myself insane. If there’s any glaring issues I’ve missed, do let me know.
Please read & review, comments make me happier than Valarr getting a booster shot!

to get plot bunny off my back and onto yours, Arranged Marriage fic with Ahsoka and Thrawn!
War big and exhausting and the new Empire wants time to like, fix its bullshit, the New Republic also wants that so need a peace.
Hence Imperial Thrawn Marriage truce peace with Ahsoka. This will totally fix things, please ignore the 3 dumpster fires thank you.
all the horni of course, but also Empress Wife Concubine Spy Mistress that like beats up rouge imperials to bring them in line. takes out Rouge Inquisitors but also diplomacy and also adorb babies with new color.
Also maby do ethics in your empire pretty please.
Dunno Tortuga with Blue streaks here or there?? Red Eyes of alarming? All the funny. Adorbs.
All the classic reluctant enemy to reluctant lovers then oh no feels. with RULING.
Also two aliens beating up a Empire into shape that had all that speciesism but got to flaunt the we so awesome.
but also horni and mind games. On both sides. Cause of the whole Imperial Genius Bastard and Super Spy Rebel.
this is all, hope this idea amuses you.

Another certified @wind-sage banger in my inbox! Don't worry about cold-calling, I'm always happy to see what you come up with 😸
is the girl from the picture dany? cant wait for the new chapter!
Are you referring to this, perchance?
He (Aerion) was hugging a girl with the silvery hair of a Targaryen, grinning ear-to-ear. Over their heads was a garish banner, proclaiming Happy Birthday Dragon Girl!!!
Whoever 'Dragon Girl' was, it wasn't clear. The girl he was hugging, maybe?
Overlayed atop the picture, in striking yellow ink, was a scribbled message.
“Little cousin, I know you know me the least, but I’ve seen the best parts of you the most. There’s a good man inside you, and I want to meet him more often. I want to see you smile like this more, I don’t want to see you end up another bastard like Ae-"

sharing with the class that velvette’s love potion cocktail and plastic surgery posters are based on super common 40s-50s pinup poses. the cocktail pose is basically the first thing that come up on pintrest under "pinup". plastic surgery is based on the missile/rocket pose
Guys, I am so sorry about the delay in Lepidopterophobia's final chapter being released. I know it must be annoying to be watch me work on a new fic while airily going "oh no! Terrible writer's block! Just be patient! 👼" when it comes to my other WIP.
To try and explain why it's taking so long, I'll break down some of the factors that are delaying it:
Lepidopterophobia is a very complicated fic. The final chapter needs to thread the needle on a lot of different plot points, wrapping things up while putting the pieces in place for the next installment.
The final chapter is going to be a LONG BOI. The draft is sitting at around 30k-40k words. It's basically a small novella in of itself, which is why I keep going back and forth on whether I want to split it in half or not.
My Hazbin muse just isn't there right now! I still LOVE the show, and PolyVees and VoxVel are still close to my heart, but I cannot force myself to write when I'm not enthused.
Even when the final chapter is done, that's when I need to embark on The Big Edit, which I am admittedly very intimidated by. Lepidopterophobia is currently 241,551 words, and that's WITHOUT the behemoth final chapter taken into consideration. So while writing the final chapter, I need to keep in mind the whole time: "I need to keep this open so I can alter it in the edit, don't forget about the edit, remember all the changes you're planning on making while not contradicting the fic in it's current state..."
On a related note, I do need to do both a Big Rewatch of the show and a Big Reread of the fic, which won't happen overnight.
So yes, that is my excuse train.
If I were to try and give an estimate, I'd say that the final chapter is about 60% done. It still needs a little more added to its body, and then several rounds of editing.
I am hoping to get it done before we even hear rumors about Season 3 🤞 but please, as irritating as it is to hear after all these months, be patient with me.
Love you all, thank-you so much for supporting my silly little au. You're all darlings! 💋📺🦋
