“What else do you think about?” Charles asked. “Like a fantasy, yeah? You should tell me what you think about so then we can do it.“ Charles thought of a phrase and snickered. "I’m gonna make your dreams come true.”

Or, Edwin and Charles learn that sharing more can be very pleasurable indeed. (Words: 5,903)

The great thing about randomly finishing a fic on the first day of the year is that I feel incredibly accomplished already in 2026 lolol

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Do you think Niko is the kind of BNF online where people noticed her dwindling output and her sudden disappearance online? No one knows enough about her to check in IRL, but everyone hopes she’s okay.

Then she posts again and the authors notes are like: Sorry for the long wait on this! Turns out I was infected by a supernatural parasite and then died for a little bit (unrelated) (don’t worry I got better). Anyway, here’s the next chapter! I made friends with a ghost who agreed to beta this, and he blushed the whole time he read it, which I think is a good sign!! He says I need to use less commas but you know me, not even death can stop me, lol. Enjoy!!! 💜🩷💜🩷💜

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

Most if not all of my fanfic is on AO3, and I just poked about in the statistics and realized I’ve been writing fic for 20 years. My first fic is listed in 2005. In that time I’ve written 379,100 words. I’m feeling pretty proud of that this evening.

A little something for @bottomedwin Wk One

Prompt was AFFIRMATION

My hot take is that if you’re having a bad time you should start knitting dishcloths

“I don’t know how to knit!” Great way to learn, learning makes you feel good. I learned entirely on YouTube

“What if I fuck it up?” Doesn’t matter, it will still wipe a counter/wash your armpits just fine

Small and portable

Uses cheap cotton yarn and straight needles

Relaxing and repetitive, good for podcasts/music/TV

Can’t doomscroll if knitting

People on the bus and in bars and at the library will approach you and tell you some happy memory about their grandmother/mother/aunt knitting dishcloths and then you will have had a pleasant interaction

Fun to give away—another pleasant interaction

Literally hundreds of free patterns! Here are some of my favorites

Grandmother’s Favorite

Almost Lost Washcloth

Simple Stripe Washcloth

Double Moss Stitch Washcloth

source: knitting one right now, having a very nice time

Edwin sets Charles a challenge that he’s all too happy to meet.

—

Charles looks up at Edwin, the golden glow from the binding spell reflecting in his eyes. Edwin licks his lips, and then says, “If you fuck me hard enough to satisfy me,” and his voice is haughty and self-assured and posh, “then I’ll let you come.” Charles groans.

"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world

I saw a screenshot of their hug in episode 8 and I realised that they were making sort of a heart shape so I had to draw it

Edwin is at his wits end trying to find a magical solution to this case, on a deadline and out of options. Being forced to stay within six feet of Charles is the least of his worries.
