another (re)introduction + masterlists - 2024 edition
In 2022, I found & joined the world of fanfiction and I've met the best group of people, readers, and even my partner in the process. This is just another brief updated introduction to myself as I feel like so much has changed in these two years!
About Me:
You can call me Kay, and please do. Pronouns: he/him. I’m still a political science grad student and legal nerd in the U.S. who’s neurodiverse and has been writing their entire life. On occasion, I work on original fiction but everything here is of the fandom variety.
I'll never get enough of old sitcoms, rom-coms, literary fiction, and there's hardly any kind of music I don't enjoy, though my love for jazz is eternal.
I’m also over the age of 21 and as an adult writer, for adult readers, there will occasionally be 18+ nsfw content shared.
Here on my blog, expect to see me post updates, writing plans, snippets, teases, and fic ideas! My asks are always open for questions, interactions, or sending me ideas — I’m here for it all — though I don't take formal requests. I’m also tag-game friendly, and love “meeting” people that way. And I’m always down to chat!
Below the cut, you can find a little bit about what I write, what to expect, and a link to my many masterlists and AO3 profile!
My Writing:
It all started from a love of Padmé Amidala and a desire to see more fan works that centered on her -- so I wrote them!
Many of my stories are centered on Anakin x Padmé’s relationship, with quite a bit of the little Skywalkers weaved in there. Personally, I love AUs for both reading and writing and most of my stories, though not all, are Modern AUs that I’ve taken a lot of care in creating to stay true to characterization.
As a general rule, I like focusing on friendships and familial relationships along with romantic ones, so expect to almost always see other characters joining along the way in all of my writing across fandoms. Many of my stories are domestic or family fluff, but there is some slice of life, hurt/comfort, and light angst mixed in.
While my work began with Anidala, I am a multi-shipper and multi-fandom with a growing number of works for DinLuke and across the Marvel universe - the latest obsession being SteveNat.
If you're here for Anidala, you can find all of my fics for them listed and linked in my Anidala Masterlists!
If you're wondering about my other work, you can find those listed and linked in one of the following lists: MCU Masterlist, SW Sapphic Week 2023, and DinLuke Masterlist!
Or, if you prefer, you can find all my fics, from drabbles and one shots, to ongoing longfics and series, on my AO3 works page!
I appreciate every bit of support and interaction I receive, and I try to always make that known. Here’s to two more years and all the others to come, and the friends I’ve yet to meet along the way!

Summary:
Galinda Upland has spent a decade being polished into the studio’s darling—compliant, agreeable, composed. Elphaba Thropp has spent the same decade fighting for recognition and a career on her own while everyone labeled her difficult and pretentious. When they’re cast in the same movie, the feud should write itself.
When it doesn’t, Galinda’s agent decides to make some changes to help it along.
(Because I’m terrible at doing promo for my fics here anymore - here’s a small collection of the Gelphie-centric one shots I posted over the last several months!)
that pivotal moment \\ T-Rated \\ No Warnings \\ Shiz Era
The sudden closeness, the warmth radiating off of Galinda and onto her own side, provided no help in calming whatever fluctuations were happening with Elphaba’s heartbeat. If anything, it had made it worse. Which was the exact kind of thing she needed help with! The briefest touch from Galinda, of all people, and she was in a complete tizzy, being all choked up and flushed at the same time. Clearly, she was in desperate need of some kind of exposure therapy.
Or: Elphaba wants to learn how to be more affectionate and Galinda throws herself at the opportunity to help.
Just This Once \\ G-Rated \\ No Warnings \\ Shiz Era
It’s a flimsy excuse at best, but Elphaba agrees when Galinda insists the draft from their cracked window is causing her side of the room to be colder and asks if she could, just this once, borrow Elphaba’s blanket. And maybe her along with it.
The Greatest Team There’s Ever Been \\ G-Rated \\ No Warnings \\ Mostly Canon Compliant
It’s one of those unexplainable feelings—the kind she thinks better than to share with others, but she wants to, desperately, with Elphie if she could just spit it out.
Or: Five times Galinda can’t seem to figure out her feelings for Elphaba, and the one time the words all come tumbling out.
The Perfect Plan is No Plan At All \\ T-Rated \\ No Warnings \\ Post-Canon Divergent
“What’s next for Glinda the Good?” Elphaba read from the headlines of the Ozmopolitan. She snickered while flipping through the pages. “Apparently, your continued diplomacy across Oz is no match for what’s to come in parenthood, though the entire editing team wishes the both of us—that’s new—a sincere congratulotions.”
Or: Now that Glinda and Elphie have settled back into society, in a quiet sort of life, they’re onto their next adventure, courtesy of the Grimmerie. What better place to start than with the much-needed nursery.
finally found the somebody who \\ T-Rated \\ No Warnings \\ Soulmarks AU
Galinda had searched high and low for her soulmate before coming to the conclusion that her mark was flawed, somehow, keeping it contained to the pages of her sketchbook for her eyes only.
That is, until Elphaba comes back early from class and scares the book right out of her hands for both of them to see.
Now Elphaba seems to think Galinda had been drawing her and that can only mean one thing...
