Last week I finished my first proper longfic! I have a newfound respect for anyone who regularly churns out these massive strories, because oh boy, it was so much harder than I imagined. And it also took a lot longer than I thought it would...
But now that it’s done, I’m so proud of myself.
If you’re interested in a nice frostiron time travel adventure with all the Loki feels, check it out :D
I can't write a comment to you on AO3.
So just wanted to ask:
Could Tony have really gotten hurt at the roof? Did he forget the binding in the heat of the moment? By the way I love your stories. You are very talented at writing. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next chapters.
Loki broke the binding when they were on Asgard and their little truce was only valid until they got back to their right time so theoretically, yes Tony could have gotten hurt on the roof.
Huh, I wonder why you can't comment on ao3, I'm pretty sure I have guest comments turned on. But it's nice to receive such a lovely message on tumblr nontheelss :D I hope you enjoy where the story is headed <3
I used reference pics from Gochujan_G in twitter
my past week has been incredible stressful so of course my brain has come up with a new fic idea, because what else would it be doing??
*carefully sets down triple ask like a delicate origami swan* xD
4. What piece of media inspired you the most?
22. Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it?
30. What would you like to write next this year?
*delicately picks up your origami swan to admire it* (Let's hope it doesn't turn into a Loki that says "blergh, it's me" and stabs me...)
4. This feels impossible to answer. I get inspired by so many things, be it a rewatch of the original movies, other fics I read or books. Sometimes just a quote or a set of images is enough to inspire me :D Right now, I really adore gothic novels and I have a few story drafts for darker fics inspired by that vibe. Maybe I can finish one of them this year
22. All. The. Time. I planned to finish my longfic (memories of tomorrow) around one year ago which uhhh... didn't quite happen. I'm mostly frustrated with myself over how much I procrastinate the not-as-fun parts of writing and I'm still not quite sure how to overcome it. I love coming up with ideas, laying out the plot, writing the fun dialogue and then there's that part where I have to stitch it together and make it coherent and that's where I spent like 80% of my time. It's certainly the perfectionist in me that hinders me the most. (Ironic isn't it? haha)
30. Definitely finish writing Memories of Tomorrow before moving on to the next bigger project. That will most likely be my three part series dragon AU. I'm really passionate about that fic, it's full of feels and angst and has so many ups and downs. It's the first story that brought some tears to my eyes while writing it.
I don't know about you, but I can't believe it's time to post this list again. Like in the past, questions focus on what you created and how you felt this year.
Two ways to play: Reblog and have your followers send you numbers, or answer the whole list!
Including WIPs, how many fics have you worked on since January 1st? Original fiction counts too!
How many did you post for other people to read?
What's something NEW that you tried in a fic?
What piece of media inspired you the most?
How many fandoms did you write for?
What ship(s) captured your heart?
What character(s) captured your heart?
Did you write for any new fandoms or ships?
What fic meant the most to you to write?
What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?
What fic was the most satisfying to finish?
What fic was the most challenging to work on?
What's the most interesting topic you researched for a fic?
What were your shortest and longest fics?
What was on your writing playlist?
Where did you write? Was there a favorite spot?
What’s your favorite title of the year?
Share your favorite opening line
Share your favorite ending line
Share your favorite piece of dialogue
Share the funniest line(s) you wrote this year
Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it?
If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?
Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing something?
Did you create fanworks other than fic? Show one off!
How many fannish events did you take part in? Things like bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, etc. They all count!
Think back on everything you've worked on since January and give yourself a compliment. A real one! Be nice to yourself.
If this were an awards show, who would you thank?
What’s left on your to-do list for 2025?
What would you like to write next year?
The bundle in his arm stirs, and Loki stops to catch a glimpse of his face.
“Lokes?” Tony’s voice is unbearably weak.
Loki swallows down the tight knot of worry in his throat. “Don’t speak. Spare your strength.”
“You’re blue.” He says it so casually. Like it's nothing special. He says it in the same way as he said you’re pretty several weeks ago, when they had spent the evening together and gotten drunk and his fingers had traced the lines of Loki’s face. And just like back then, Loki doesn't know what to make of it.
“I had not noticed. Thank you for telling me.”
“No worries.”
Tony falls silent again. His eyes are still clouded and weak, his blinks far too slow, but his breathing is steady. Loki pulls him tighter against his chest and continues onward.

An excerpt from a oneshot where Tony and Loki get lost in a snowstorm during a mission and Loki shifts to his Jotun form to bring Tony to safety.
Finally got my shit together and turned this snippet into a slightly longer oneshot. Here it is :)

Of course I'm down for a silly little tag game hehe, thank you @loni4ever
Last song: Wires - The Neighbourhood I've been listening to a lot of their older songs lately and I totally get why teenager me was obsessed with them. That shit still slaps
Last book: last book I finished was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and I'm currently in the middle of reading The Stand by Stephen King
Favourite colour: anything dark and rich
Last movie: Wake Up Dead Man (absolute peak, go watch it if you love fun murder mysteries)
Spicy/sweet/savoury: savoury or sweet, I really can't handle spicy food...
Last show: I think it was Severance season 2?? I haven't been watching many shows lately
Current obsession: dragons!! hecking love dragons!!! but that's more of a constant obsession of mine rather than a current one
Last search: a phone number that called me and I was too scared to pick up. Turns out it was my doctors office reminding me of the appointment i missed lmao
I'm sensing a throughline here xD interesting, I never knew your vibe was like that :D ofc this might more of a snapshot than a representation, but the media you're into (from this) seems to be more on the darker, somber side - istg I'm not really wording this correctly xD but the horror/thriller/mystery trio and then the song and the dark rich colours do paint a picture ahaha
Btw I googled "dark rich colours" and
Pretty (´▽｀)✧・´ (did you mean thereabouts or colours 'round the whole wheel?)
Also the number thing is so relatable xD I also never pick up calls where I don't recognize the number. It doesn't do much to make me feel like a proper adult but ...eh. I mean, I could have a Serious And Proper™ reason to have missed/not picked up whatever call it was — I just don't. But how are they gonna know that XD
Oh, now I'm wondering what kind of vibe I was giving off before :D I think it's partially because when it comes to fanfics I enjoy the fluffy, romantic bits just as much as the more serious stuff, but when it comes to books and movies, I don't like them to be romance focused at all.
My favorite genre is probably best described as "weird horror." Not the kind that jump scares you, but the kind that makes you uneasy because of the themes it explores and leaves you thinking for a long time afterwards. (And I adore dark comedies. Heathers, my beloved.)
And an absolute yes to those colors!! I don't have a specific favorite color, I just really like those dark, rich tones. They feel so comfy to me.

That one image but make it frostiron
back on my loki agenda
doodles from today
What's your favourite line of dialogue you've made Tony say? :D
And/or the same for Loki :)
This question is hard since I suffer from chronic "forgetting everything about my own fics once I have finished them" syndrome :D buuuuut, I do really like this exchange from in a heartbeat:
“I told you, you were overreacting!” Loki hissed towards Tony who was still hovering behind him in an almost protective manner. “Oh, you won’t be saying that when you die of a heart attack.” “I am not going to die of a heart attack, you idiot.” “Yeah, famous last words.” Tony shot back. “Just know that I will not be bringing any flowers to your funeral. Only a giant sign saying I told you so.”
I feel like it's very Tony to express his worry and care for others in aggressive jokes rather than some tender words. And the mental image of Tony standing there at Loki's funeral silently holding up a I told you so sign is just hilarious.
Then there's also this line from Memories of Tomorrow when Tony and Loki are arguing.
“You think you know fucking everything. You had a brother that cared for you, a mother that only saw your best and you threw that all away for what ?” Tony edged even closer, pushing his face right into Loki’s until he could feel his breath hitting his skin. “Always so desperate for approval, but tell me, Loki, does anyone like you now?”
It's just so...cruel. But it was very necessary and represents one of the major shifts in their relationship, when Tony goes from just observing to really understanding Loki. And there's also something fun about letting your characters say mean things. Why else would anyone be writing enemies to lovers after all? Hehehe... frostiron my beloved
Frostiron 1.1k, snippet from an abandoned long fic I still like
---
Tony was trotting to the kitchen, debating whether he should combat his drooping eyelids with another cup of coffee or just surrender to his bed for the night, when a cold breeze stopped him in his tracks. The balcony door stood wide open, allowing the winter air to rush into the room and raise goosebumps on his arms. Frowning, Tony walked over to close it, but when he reached for the handle, he froze.
A dark figure stood outside.
His heart jumped, and all sorts of alarm bells started ringing in his head—until he recognized the head of black hair.
On the very edge of the balcony, half sitting, half leaning against the railing, was Loki. A thick green cape with fur around the collar hung from his shoulders, and Tony had a feeling that if it weren’t for the white snow around him offering such a stark contrast, he might not have noticed him at all.
“You left the door open,” Tony called, stepping into the crunching snow.
Loki turned to look at him, but the darkness obscured his face. “You can close it. I apologize.” Then, he simply turned back around again.
Tony gnawed on his lip. Loki had been part of their team for a little more than two months now, even if it didn’t quite feel like it. They all knew the truth behind the attack on New York—about the mind control and things Loki had endured under Thanos—and still, none of them had forgotten what it had felt like to have fought against him and the army under his command either. The gap between them seemed harder to bridge than anything else, especially since Loki was rather closed off. He kept to himself most of the time, rarely initiating conversations or joining in on their movie nights. If it weren’t for Thor dragging him out of his room, they would probably not see him outside of any official missions at all.
For another moment Tony simply watched Loki’s motionless figure. Then he sighed and walked up next to him.
“Isn’t it a bit too cold to be outside?”
Loki didn’t look at him. “I don’t feel the cold.”
“Mhm.”
Tony stood in silence and looked down at the god. Snowflakes were catching in his hair, scattered across his dark curls like ornaments on a Christmas tree. His eyes were cast on something far away, glistening against the lights of the city. Tony couldn’t help but think that he looked a little sad.
“Why are you out here?” Loki asked, ripping him out of his thoughts.
Tony cleared his throat, trying not to make it too obvious that he had been staring. “Why are you?”
“Because I couldn’t sleep.”
Tony didn’t quite know what to say to that, so he stayed quiet. After a short moment he sat down next to Loki, even though the cold wind was making him want nothing more than to go back inside.
“None of us hate you, you know,” he said, looking at Loki from the side.
Loki shook his head. “You have every right to.”
“But we don’t.”
Loki turned to him and raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
“It’s just not easy to forget what had happened even if we know that things…weren’t quite as they seemed.”
Loki hummed. “The heart remembers, no matter how much the mind tries to forget.”
“Something like that…”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Loki rolled his eyes. “Do you follow up every question directed at you with another one?”
“I don’t know.” Tony smirked. “Do I?”
Loki huffed out a laugh. It was the first time in a long while—perhaps even forever—that he had heard a genuine laugh from him. As it ebbed out, only the sound of the falling snow and the distant noises of the city below them filled the air.
“Aren’t you cold?” Loki asked.
“A little.” He was actually freezing. The thin sweater he was wearing wasn’t quite made to withstand the freezing winds, and the snowflakes melting into ice-cold water on his skin weren’t helping either.
Before Tony even knew what was happening, Loki removed the cape from his shoulders and draped it around him instead. It left Loki in a thin tunic that didn’t quite look weather appropriate either.
“But aren’t you—”
“I told you already,” Loki interrupted him. “I don’t get cold.”
“Oh. Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
Tony wrapped the cape a bit tighter around himself. It was a lot warmer than he had expected it to be, and he had a feeling that the cold wind no longer blowing into his face was probably thanks to some sort of enchantment and not just lucky timing either.
Silence settled between them, but just like earlier, it was a comfortable one. Even Tony, who usually filled any pause with a stream of words, remained quiet and let his eyes wander over the city below them. Everything was draped in a layer of white, though the fresh snow would probably turn into grey mud as soon as the city woke up in the morning. Tony blinked away the moisture in his eyes and yawned.
“You’re tired,” Loki stated.
Tony turned to find Loki already watching him. “A little.”
“You should go to sleep then.”
“You should too.”
“I will. In a moment.”
Tony squinted and leaned a little closer. “Will you really?”
Loki sighed. Tony wondered if the fondly exasperated nature with which he did it was how Thor usually got to see his brother. “I promise, I will.”
“You know, Bruce has this awful herbal tea, tastes like wet grass, but it helps me sometimes when I can’t sleep. Don’t tell him I said that, though; he would never shut up about it.”
A small smile twitched at the corner of Loki’s mouth. “I wouldn’t dare.”
Tony stood up. He stretched his tired limbs and revelled in the crack that came from his spine. “Oh, and Loki?”
“Hm?”
“If you ever can’t sleep again, come by my workshop sometime,” Tony said with a wink. “I tend to stay up very late anyway, and insomnia is just more fun with friends.”
Loki stared at him. His eyes widened, and for a second Tony wondered if he had overstepped some sort of boundary. But then Loki’s expression softened, and another smile spread across his face. Tony thought he could get used to the sight.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Tony walked back into the tower, and only when he stood in his bedroom did he realize that Loki’s cape was still draped around his shoulders.
3 and 10
If there's another question you’re particularly into, I’d love to know the answer to it too :D
3 - As a writer, are you an evil dictator, a ship captain, a trauma dumper, a mad scientist, a carefree hedonist, or a vengeful rogue?
I think I might be a ship captain with a tinge of a mad scientist. I am very much rooting for my ship to arrive at its destination but I also love taking some detours through rough storms just to see what would happen, you know?
10 - Which two of your fics do you think have the most beef with each other?
In my fic on dragons wings Tony is a dragon and in my current WIP Loki is turned into one against his will. I don't know if they would necessarily have beef, but the way both of them have very different stances on what being a dragon means to them would lead to a really funny clash. :D You have Loki from the WIP being in misery over being cursed to become such a hideous creature and then Tony from the other fic would come along and be like "the fuck did you just say about me?!"
Bonus: 2 - If your writing process was a spotify playlist, what would it be called?
"The artist only made this song because of that one cool part in the prechorus, didn't they?"
I feel like that describes my writing process perfectly. All my fic ideas start with me thinking of one really fun scene and then trying to create a coherent story around it. :D
