FIC SPOTLIGHT

current WIP: weird fishes 🦈

a bloodweave modern AU - affectionately, sharkfic

In the wake of a disastrous project, the only thing left for documentarian Astarion Ancunin is an insane job offer. A lone biologist, a research station, and a single shark.

more below the cut!

prides and joys:

works with emotional resonance that i’m most proud of.

❤️‍🔥 you’re fireproof (series)

modern no-magic AU in which gale is a culinary school dropout and astarion is a dickhead lawyer. they meet at the dog park and start to fall for each other.

🐊 see ya later, alligator

27K, complete including epilogue. bloodweave.

modern no-magic AU, set (mostly) in orlando, in which gale works at gatorland and astarion is a henchman for greasy, terrible mobster cazador.

⚖️ on a technicality

1.5K oneshot. bloodweave.

modern no-magic AU, marital lawyerstarion orgasm-denial smut with light “my cousin vinny” vibes, that takes place in the o’hare plaza hotel: “where OJ stayed.”

weed isnt dangerous because its a "gateway drug" or whatever its dangerous because it puts you in the exact mindset to post song lyrics without context as if it's the sickest thing you've ever heard

And then you had that dream again.

writing is like: this is the worst thing i have ever written. what if it's the best thing i ever write and nothing else lives up?

[maryoliveoil]

Gonna chill out the rest of May and then change my entire life in June. Possibly July if that doesn't work out. Certainly no later than September or October.
