stuff that feels rewarding as a fanfic author:

when your work inspires fanart/comics

when people point out a scene/particular line(s) that tugged at their heartstrings

when people ask for your meta of your work that they enjoyed so much

when someone comments on a fic you wrote 982783113502 years ago

getting recc’d

just the small happiness in knowing you made someone out there smile on their way to work/home or at school, in knowing you warmed someone’s heart somehow

Chapter 10 of The B Team is up!

This fic has forced me to invent a great deal of lore about exactly how both teleporting and Prime’s spires work and this chapter dives deeply into the latter as our heroes finally figure out what’s making the magic hotspots and how to shut it off.

Maybe.

Read on AO3 or FF.net.

Let's spread some positivity, shall we?

In response to the extremely upsetting content that our tags have been receiving due to an extremely disturbed person deciding to take matters into their own hands, I’ve decided to propose an emergency VLD positivity bang!

Those who are interested in participating here’s all you gotta do:

The tags that are being attacked are as follows- Kallura Shallura Shidge Shatt Kidge Hidge Heith Hance Shance Sheith

(edit: i can’t believe i spaced that last one i’m such a fool)

Take a short moment of your time and make a post with something positive for that ship, even if you don’t ship it. Do something positive. Writers: Write a short fic/Drabble for the tag of your choosing! Write a few headcanons that come to mind. Do a quick meta post! Hell, even do a funny shit post if it means bringing some positivity. Anything to show your support of other people’s ships. Artists/Graphic makers: doodle something! Make a graphic! Draw something cute and fluffy, warm and nice for anyone who needs it. If you are stumped on what to draw, I like to visit shojo manga screen caps on google images and pluck ideas from there.

Everyone else! Suggest a fic, share your favorite artists work! Share your own headcanons! Recommend a song! Make a playlist! Send someone who enjoys a different ship a caring ask or message!

The importance here is to join forces against this sort of behavior. I’ve seen this sort of garbage before and the best way to fight is with fire. So share your passions, share your joy, we all love this show, we all enjoy it dearly–let those flames overwhelm the kind that hurt.

The positivity bang is completely optional and has no end. So if you can’t participate now, you can always participate later!!

Cat Sneeze (VLD)

Pidge & Lance & Hunk

Pidge sneezed and within made a very high tone. She robbed her nose and looked at Hunk and Keith who were also in her lab.

"This sound reminds me of a kitty.", commented Hunk with a nostalgic chuckle .

The green paladin gave him an annoyed look, then Keith added with a warm smile: "I have to agree on that though. It was pretty cute."

"You guys are impossible.", mumbled Pidge and went back to work without looking at them.

Hunk whispered to his friend: "I never expect you to mock her like that?" Keith looked at him confused and then answered with a straight look into his eyes: "I would never joke about something like that." Then he looked away and doubted: "Did it seem like I was joking?" "Yeah, no. I mean your words were kind sure, but hearing them from you is just...unfamiliar." Keith nodded slightly.

The yellow paladin then returned to work on the computer. Keith was for no specific reason in the lab, he just stepped by after his work out.

He was about to leave then but a glance on Pidge made him stay. He sat next to her on the floor. Keith was sure she noticed but she didn't turn around to face him. She tried grabbing a tool without her reach. He took it and placed it in her hand wheron she looked at him. "I am really sorry if what I said before hurt you." "It's alright." "No, it wasn't even mean to be a joke. I really meant it. Sorry, I am bad at giving compliments." Keith could swear that he noticed a slight blush on her cheeks, so he decided to lighten the mood: "I mean, it is so obvious that you could never be a cat, considering you are a bird." "I am a paladin." "No, no..I meant..."

"I am just kidding." Pidge laughed and nudged him into his arm, "But seriously you deserved it." "So is the Pidgeon Pilot afraid in the muzzle of such a huge lion?" "Don't push it too much!" "I am not allowed to joke with you now?", asked Keith and laid his hand offened on his chest. But you couldn't hold the act long and chuckled, "I get it. No more puns."

"How generous." "But why is your name Pidge anyway? Did your parents have an obsession with Pidgeons?"

The green paladin laughted and shook her head slowly. "Ok first off, remember my real name is not Pidge. Matt gave me that nickname and he is just a dumbass." "But now you like it?" "Well it obviously does leave more room for puns, but yeah."

"What was your former name?" Pidge hesitated for a few secounds and eyed him closely then she told him: "My name is Katie. Katie Holt."

"I think I heard of you once." "WHAT?"

Hunk looked over to them and asked: "Everything alright? What are you talking about?" "We will see.", mumbled Pidge and turned to Keith, "Tell me. And who told you?"

"Come on, Shiro of course. I mean, I barely spoke to anyone else and he was the only person we both knew." "Fair point." "I think he maybe tried to set us up to meet or whatever. He mentioned that his Commander had a daughter about my age who wanted to explore space as well. I had more experience with piloting and you were ambitious, to be honest I think he meant like I dropped out of school and you skipped at least one year."

"But you didn't want to meet up?" "No, but if the events turned out differently and Caberos never failed we would. I bet."

"Kind of weird.", chuckled Pidge.

"Guys, what are you talking about? Come on don't let me hanging here like this!", begged Hunk and sat down beside them.

"We just discovered that we two would have met even when Caberos had gone well." "Wow that is so cool. Do you think we would have met as well?", wanted Hunk to know excitedly. "We were in the same class, so yes.", smiled Keith. "I never heard your name before I came to Garrison and read that you would the engineer of my team." "I never heard of Pidge Gunderson beforehand too." "Yeah because I invented it at that time. Ever heard about Katie Holt?" "I heard about your father because who didn't."

"But I am glad we did met at the end.", concluded Hunk with a smile. "Yeah me too."

Keith nodded and sighed: "I am even glad I met Lance."

I feel like Bow stress- makes friendship bracelets and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Adora and Glimmer will sometimes walk into the room to see the floor just absolutely covered and Bow, hard at work making one and donning a full arm sleeve of friendship bracelets, is like “it’s been a long day.”

Day 1: Meeting and Beginnings

@spop-palentines

Sisters at first sight

There were these two young women standing in front of the castle. Glimmer didn´t know them and they have been standing there for a while now, so she decided to find out.

The queen could have asked someone if they would know or could have sent someone else to find out, but she decided that nothing of all that would be necessary. She would go herself. Literally.

She walked towards them – Bow told her that it is not a good first impression to suddenly appear only a few inches apart from someone if you didn´t know them. It also wasn´t a good idea in general but Glimmer actively decided to forget about that part sometimes.

They were just two women after all and she was the queen for Etheria´s sake. What could possibly go wrong?

“Are you Glimmer?”, asked the one with long braided strains in a ponytail. She wore a yellow jumpsuit which combined with her shiny ruby necklace made her look definitely not oversee able.

“Y-eah.”, she stammered. She was the queen. Why was she surprised that they knew her name, she took a deep breath but then shortly hesitated? But she said it like she knew her?

Glimmer hesitation made the visitor smile at each other. The other one, which shoulder length voluminous hair asked: “The physics mayor right?”

Glimmer gave them the most tooth-gaped grin she could possibly think of and let this information sink in for a moment.

Then she inhaled and said with a forced enthusiasm: “Yep. That´s me. I love physics and all its…rules. Like…stars. Stars are great, right?”

The girls giggled and presented themselves: “I´m Ruby and this is Jasmine. We came to visit Bow and his friends. It is so good to finally meet you.”

Glimmer gave them two thumps up and inhaled sharply: “That´s so so… amazing. You know this…ehm castle. It´s not mine. Hehe…why would I own a castle? Crazy right? Who would think that? I was ordered by the queen to measure the physics. You know because better safe than sorry am I right?” She started rambling and got more insecure by the second. She wanted nothing more than to teleport out of this conversation. Most importantly to get Bow to handle this, but she wouldn´t mind not coming back, but she already figured that that wasn´t an option.

The two didn´t say anything so Glimmer added: “The…ehm…best part of the castle is obviously the library. I mean…books…yay!”

“Glimmer, it´s okay we know you don´t like books.”

“But I am a physics worker.”

Jasmine gave her a genuine smile: “Seriously, why would Bow made up you were a physics student. You are the least physics person I ever heard of.”

“Wait- so you played me?”

Jasmine couldn´t resist a grin: “Come on, we don´t have the chance of a prank like that every day. Bow told we are allowed to prank you – if we still play it nice.”

Glimmer nodded in thought and concluded: “Right, right. And Bow knew what you were up to?”

Ruby raised a brow: “You have an idea?”

“Oh, he has no idea what is about to hit him!”

Characters: Glimmer, Ruby and Yasmine (Bow´s siblings, my OCs)

Pie day buddies

This is my little drabble for the twenty-fifth day prompt of the SPOP Palentine’s month - Best friends and Brotps - organized by the good people at @spop-palentienes. Enjoy!

“Pie day?”

“Pie day!”

Bow and Adora grabbed each other’s hands and happily danced in circle. Then the walked towards the market with springs in their steps.

Because today was the day when the farmer had farmed and the butcher had butchered and the miller milled and the baker put it all together and made the best pies in all of Etheria.

And Bow and Adora would be right there, first in line, when the best pies in all of Etheria were served.

“Pie day buddies!”

“Glimmer’s not coming, then?”

“She doesn’t really do ‘mornings’.”

Adora nodded, seeing the truth in that statement.

“Catra’s not coming?”

“She doesn’t really do ‘rain’.”

Bow looked up in surprise. Wet drops of wetness fell from the sky and landed on his face.

“Hey, it’s raining,” he pointed out. Adora laughed.

“I know, right. Imagine missing pie day just because of a little wetness!”

“Hah!”

“Pie, pie, pie!”

And thus chanting, they happily skipped down the street

Today was going to be best friends, a beautiful day (rain is beautiful too) and pie, and nothing was going to stop them.

“RAZZLE DAZZLE!”

“Oh, hey madam Razz, Adora said to the old woman who ran up to them with an agitated expression.

“You are messing up again dearie,” the old woman chided her. Adora gave her a surprised look.

“I am?”

“Yes, dearie? You are supposed to stand over there.” Razz pointed at a part of the street in no way dissimilar from the one she stood on.

“I… am?”

“YES, dearie. Now hurry up.” With her broom, Madam Razz shooed Bow and Adora until they stepped over to the indicated spot. She nodded a content nod.

“There you go, dearie. Now you will be right as rain. What would you ever do without madam Razz looking out for you?”

Tutting and muttering for herself, madam Razz wandered off. Bow and Adora looked after her. They gave each other a confused look.

“So… do we stay here or do we…?”

“LOOK OUT!”

A wagon, out of control, came crashing down the street, missing them by inches (and running straight through the spot Madam Razz had shooed them away from.

They looked at it in shock for a moment before they both reacted at the same time. Adora drew her sword, Bow his Bow. Adora transformed into She-Ra, Bow hit the cart with a rope-arrow, and a few moments later She-Ra had grabbed the rope and stopped the cart.

It took some time to find the cart’s owner and sort out the broken breaks. Fortunately no one had been hurt, and soon the best friends could continue their quest for pie.

“Pie, pie, pie!”

Happily running down the street, not to miss their spot in the line, they chanted their happy pie-chant.

Nothing was going to stop them.

In an alley a little girl stood crying.

They both stopped.

“Are you OK, dear?” Bow asked and bent down with a friendly smile. “Can we help you.”

“I lost my cat,” the girl sobbed.

“She lost her cat?” Adora whispered with large eyes.

“It ran away and I don’t know where it went.”

“She doesn’t know where it went?” Adora echoed in horror

“I tried to catch it but it scratched me.”

“…scratched her…”

Adora bent down and gave the girl a tight hug.

“We will find your cat,” she sobbed. “whatever it takes. however far it has run. And if it’s scared or angry or confused and tries to scratch you again or tries to destroy all of reality we will gently and patiently nurture it and help it see the error of its ways, and if its kidnapped by some kind of space-jerk we will destroy his evil empire and blow up his space station and whatever ever it takes” - she took a deep breath - “You. Will. Have. Your. Cat. Back.”

“Um… thank you?” The girl said. Bow gently pried Adora loose.

“She lost her cat!” Adora cried to Bow. He hugged her.

“She will get her cat back,” he said with a compassionate voice and steered her a few steps away from the girl.

“But what if the cat hates her?” Adora wailed.

“It doesn’t hate her,” Bow gently said. “It’s just angry and confused, and as soon as they get the chance to talk about their love they will find each other again and then they will never have to be apart.”

“Promise?” Adora cried.

“Promise.” Bow said.

They hugged some more - with the rather confused little girl watching - and then they went looking for the cat.

They found it pretty much immediately behind an old crate. It gave them a look that said 'what are <i>you</i> doing here?’, jumped up in the arms of the girl and started to purr. With Bow and Adora watching with starry eyes, the girl thanked them and walked away with the cat.

“She got her cat back,” Adora whispered.

“She got her cat back,” Bow confirmed.

“The cat doesn’t hate her?”

“The cat doesn’t hate her.”

“They can always be together?”

“They can always be together.”

Then they hugged a bit more as Adora cried in relief.

After that, they went to get pie.

“Pie, pie, pie!”

Nothing was going to stop them.

“Bow!”

No less than three of his siblings waved to him from the other side of the street.

“We’re so glad we found you, little brother. Listen, we have this complicated situation involving multiple relatives and scanzy scemes we need help with…”

It was a lot of shenanigans later when they finally found themselves by the pie counter.

There were no pie.

“There is no pie?”

“There is no pie!”

“We are out of pie. Sorry.”

“They are out of pie?”

“They are out of pie!”

“You are too late, sorry.”

“We are too late?”

“We are too late…”

Bow and Adora fell into each others arms and started to cry loudly.

“We are too laaaaaaaate.”

“No pie…”

“RAZZLE DAZZLE!”

“There is no pie, Madam Razz.”

“Don’t you ever stop speaking nonsense, dearie? And why are you always at the wrong place? You are supposed to be over there!”

“I don’t think I would be happy anywhere today, Madam Razz,” Adora said with head hanging low. Madam Razz shook her head in annoyance and started to swat Adora and Bow with her broom again.

“Why young people these days have to be so confusing I will never understand for the life of me. Now, off you go, dearie. Go! Go!”

Adora and Bow gave in under the onslaught and hurried over to the table Razz had indicated. There were two chairs and the entire surface of the table was covered in plates, bowls and trays completely overloaded with pies. Small pies, large pies, brown pies, pies with crust, pies with fruit, pies for food and pie for dessert. Bow and Adora stared at it with large eyes.

“There is pie?”

“Of course there is pie, Madam Razz said. Today is pie day. Now eat as much as you want. Bring the rest with you.”

Adora gave madam Razz a heartfelt look.

“Thank you so much, Razz.”

Razz chuckled.

“What are pie day buddies for.”

“Pie day buddies!” Bow cried with his mouth full of pie.

“Pie day buddies!” Adora cried and joined him.

Day 4: Relatives

@spop-palentines

Characters: Glimmer, Angella

! angst!

It was already dark outside and although there were many events that day, Glimmer was still wide awake. There was something she had the feeling she needed to do.

When she was sure no one else was around the castle she made her way to the Moon Stone – by foot. She wanted to take her time on that walk – to think, to get her head free and to prepare herself for what she was about to do.

Although to enter the tunnels of the Moon Stone she teleported because the gates would only open if there was a ceremony – a coronation. Glimmer sighed at that thought and walked through the tunnels still she reached the main room. The giant worm was asleep, “One upside to not having a ceremony at my back”, thought Glimmer, but then she looked up and saw all the pink lights floating.

She stretched her hand high and hoped that one light would come to her – a certain one. But nothing happened. She sighed and walked around for a bit, her view always come back to the floating lights, who moved but not in her direction.

Glimmer went to the spot she saw her mother for the last time – her hologram to be exact. She looked at it with hope but nothing happened, so she turned away with tears in her eyes. She sank to the ground and looked at the ceiling with the circling pink lights. The tears were rolling down her face but she didn´t turn away, she wanted the lights to come to her, to speak with her, but…they wouldn´t.

The current queen sighed and watched the lights in silent, tired to find a pattern of their movements, but she couldn´t figure them out. She wished she had taken someone with her to go, someone to hold their hand, like Adora and Bow did the last time she was here, but no she wanted to go alone.

And now she was alone – just like she wanted.

Glimmer was frustrated and thought about shooting a huge sparkle bomb at the lights but then fast decided against it. Angering her ancestors wouldn´t make them communicate with her – lecturing her at very last and that was the last thing she wanted.

“Mom?”, she whispered and looked at the lights. Nothing changed.

“I still love you. I hope you never forget that.” Nothing changed.

She slightly chuckled, although her tears were still rolling: “Dad does too, you know.” Still nothing.

She stands up and looked at the lights for a last time, they got slower. Glimmer stretched her hand to the air as a last attempt to connect. A light comes near and she widened her eyes. It came close, but never touched her hand and Glimmer wouldn´t dare to try to close her hand and catch it.

It got brighter and brighter, and she could feel the light inside of her, it was warm, like a hug. Like a comforting hug from a mother. Her mother.

Then the light got the size of the others and went back to them to ceiling, circling, without any pattern.

She teared up, but not from sorrow this time, she closed her eyes and whispered: “I love you too, Mom.”

Day 3: Mom friends & Bad influcenes

@spop-palentines

Characters: Bow, Henry (the second youngest of the 13, OC)

There was a knock on the closet and Bow screamed: “Leave me alone.”

“What are you doing all day long in your Princess tower?”

Bow stuck his head slightly through the certain – the great entrance to his cave under the closet - and corrected him: “It isn´t a Princess tower. A tower is high. This is a cave.”

“I am surprised you know, I barley see you outside your ´cave´.”, commented Henry and sat down next to the entrance. Bow crawled outside and explained: “It is very comfy in there.”

“Are you reading in there?”

“Yes.”

“All day long?”

Bow only looked to the ground.

Henry shook his head and asked: “Do you want to play catch with the others? The girls having another secret meeting or whatever and we are short on players.”

“Sure.”

Outside waited their brothers River and Leo. They waved at them and told them: “We are still not really enough.”

“We could play something else.”, suggested Bow.

The others looked curiously at him, so he continued: “We could all build a weapon and fight!”

The others agreed and teamed up as two. Bow was with Henry and they were walking through the forest to gather material. Henry was almost tripping over the roots about four times while Bow was picking up sticks, stones and strings. At the end Bow´s arms were full and Henry´s were bruised.

“Now, what kind of weapon do you want?”

“This is stupid. I don´t like this game.”

Bow shortly muffled but then rolled his eyes and started tinkering. His brother watching him not convinced with a raised brow. He was rather surprised when his brother held something that looked close to a real bow.

“I could make you a sword…if you want, I mean.”

“No, no. That sounds great!”, agreed Henry and watched his brother with amazement as he also built his weapon.

After Bow was finished, he modified sticks with feathers and other soft objects, “So, it wouldn´t hurt River and Leo.”, he had explained.

Suddenly they hear a loud, “It´s on!”. That was the start signal. Henry held his sword tight. It consists a few sticks mangled together but it was surprisingly stable and he had to admit it really looked kind of cool.

He missed the striking moment, but his brother didn´t. He stood up abruptly and shot with his soft arrows. Leo and River were taken by surprise, they both only hold a bigger stick in their hand which they fast lost while they were under attack. They ran into hiding behind the nearest tree. River shouted: “What the stars, dude? Were you trying to kill us for real?”

Bow came closer to them and told them: “No, that is why I made the tip soft: so it couldn´t hurt you.”

“Either way”, said River and shook his head, “Not cool.”

River left and Leo shrugged and followed him.

Henry finally also left the underwood and asked: “Where did you learn all this?”

“I read about it.”

“That is what you read about?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Because I think it is cool.”

“I mean I thought it was too at first but you hurt them.”, admitted Henry and added which a darker tone, “And I rather won´t let Lance and George see that I am playing rebellion with you.”

“I…”, stammered Bow and dropped his Bow sadly to the ground, “You´re right. It…it isn´t…wasn´t my intention.”

“It´s okay. We just won´t tell them about it, and then we´re fine.”

They left the bow and sword and followed their brothers back to the library.

#spoppalentines #spoppalentinesday3 #spopos

Day 2: Childhold friends

@spop-palentines

Characters: Micah & Castaspella

“Do you want to play with me?”, asked Castaspella and gave her brother puppy eyes. Although she was pulling on his shirt, Micah pushed the five-year old away and told her: “Not now sis, I have to get this to work.”

“Ye, ye. Could you make me a bird at least so I could play with him?”

Micah sat on a small table with a huge book and eagerly turned the pages. Every few minutes he would look up and tried a few circles on a gem. He sighed and drew a fast circle and summoned a little blue bird which started flying around the room. His sister giggled and started following it around. He tried focusing on his studies, but suddenly he heard a loud crash.

He shirked and looked at his sister who was now standing next to a broken vase. There were a bunch of differently sized shards on the floor. The bright colors looked more depressed and dashing now.

Micah didn´t know which kind of vase it was, but for all he knew they would be not happy that it was broken.

Castaspella looked at him with teary eyes and played anxiously with her dress.

Micah gave her a small smile and promised: “Don´t worry, I got this.” He got up and casted a spell on the broken pieces by summing a small blue circle and aiming on the shards. The sparks of the spell laid down on the shards. Eventually their glow disappeared. Nothing happened.

His sister cried worried: “It didn´t work! What now?” She looked anxiously around in a desperate attempt to find another solution.

“No, no. It worked. Now there is my magic on the shards, so they would believe me that I broke it - when I practiced.”

“But…but- you didn´t break it.”, stammered Castaspella shyly.

“Let me tell you a secret.”, said Micah and knelt down to be on her eye level. She looked at him with curiosity, and he whispered with a wink: “All the sorcerers do like they are all big and bad, but they are no match for me.”

She didn´t believe him and gave him a confused smile: “That´s not true.”

“Well, we´ll see about that. I always wanted to challenge the great sorcerers. You know I could take on them all.”, he narrated dramatically and swung his hand around to stress his point.

Castaspella giggled and Micah smiled at her and suggested then: “How about we spent my last hours in freedom out in the flower field? I will be locked in a small room for a long time soon enough.”

His sister gave him a wide excited smile and took his head and pulled him out of the room.

As they laid together in bed in the evening, Micah told her: “It is really isn´t as bad. I get to spend a lot of time practicing this spell. They think they are punishing me, but like I said – no match for me.”

“I think you would be great leader for them, I would definitely follow you first! Oh, we would be amaaazing.”, yarned Castaspella content.

“Their leader?”, chuckled Micah confused.

“You aren´t old enough to be in their circle yet and still outpower every single one of them, of course you lead them someday.”

“You´re crazy.”
