hello world

I'm Purple, aka purple_nightfall on ao3.

Come talk to me about my fics! I love getting asks so much and I am always more than happy to talk at length about my own writing 😅

Lots of hermitshipping/trafficshipping here! Scarian is my main, but I have plans to write for a few other pairings as well. Eventually. I have too many plans.

I'm always ok with fanart/fanfics inspired by my fics! It always makes my day to see :D

Completed Fic: Find Me in the Deep End

Etho x Bdubs | 59k words | rated T | urban fantasy getting together fic

Etho is a monster hunter who never used to believe in magic, and Bdubs is a sorcerer who wishes he could stop caring so much about some stupid freaking hunter. If only they could stay apart… but fate just can’t stop bringing them back together. When so much of your life has already been decided for you, what would it mean to choose something for yourself?

sometimes i get the evil impulse to go ahead and post the first chapter of the ruffled feathers sequel

i'm probably about 2/3 done with the fic and i want to have it all done before i start posting so i can keep a regular schedule. but that's gonna take me so loooong and the first chapter's been done since march 🥺

but also. knowing what the first chapter is. it would be so very mean of me to post it now and then make you guys wait for the rest.

however, the temptation is there, and i am doing so good at resisting it

[frankislost]

Did i ever show this to tumblr?

Anyway i love this fic with all my heart and it may have scarred me forever

Thank you so much Kit for this beautiful work of art

(spoilers for home again)

so i had a whole bit fleshed out in my head for why Scar wasn't communicating more about their relationship, but explaining it didn't end up fitting into the flow of things. (i toyed with the idea of doing a scar pov segment but didn't end up going that direction)

aside from what he mentioned - not wanting to come on too strong, assuming things about how Grian felt about physical affection and pet names and stuff, etc - i also had in my head that he'd gotten generic advice from a parent and was following it way too hard in an effort to be conscientious.

one of the things i had to figure out as a teen/young adult was that sometimes, when adults give you advice, they're really trying to talk to their younger selves about what they wish they'd have done differently. unfortunately for them you are a different person in a different situation and advice that would've helped their younger self may not be what you need.

i imagined scar in this au talking to his dad, asking nonspecifically for relationship advice (because he's young and nervous and too self-conscious to talk about it directly) and his dad getting pensive and saying something along the lines of "relationships are fragile, if you try to hold them too tightly they'll shatter." and scar internally being like OH NO because he really doesn't want that to happen with him and grian! so he tries to hold on loosely to their budding relationship, taking his cues from grian... so he doesn't initiate any kind of direct talks about their relationship, because it's important to him and he doesn't want to risk messing it up in any way.

meanwhile grian is just sitting there like goddddd i wish scar liked me back 😞😞😞

ohmygoodnessthoseabsolutebeans

they're so bad at communication

godddd they really are i love them

also i had a whole thing in my head for scar's side of their non-communication but hmm i think i'm gonna make that its own post

It's winter break, and Grian's just gotten home from his first semester of college. It's surreal to be home after such an onslaught of new experiences. At least he's got Scar. When an impulsive New Year's kiss casts their relationship in a new light, Grian worries that he might lose this friendship that's so precious to him.

Just a fun little fic for the holidays! Happy New Year - hope you all have a good one!

working on a bit of a holiday oneshot about scarian as neighborhood best friends who've just come home from their first semester of college.

...so far i've written a full page pretty much entirely about "man it feels really weird to be back in your hometown after that first semester off at school." a thing which i experienced a FULL DECADE ago but apparently still have very vivid memories and feelings about.

[hyemale]

so i was recently alerted to the existence of the scifi 3L AU fic series in progress this place is a message by @kaesaaurelia and might have gone a liiiiittle bit crazy over it. i want to do more art for it, but this was just a little thing to get a handle on Scar's piloting neural implants. scar with an undercut is soooooo choice i love him so much.

definitely check the series out if the tags are of interest to you, and the snippets posted to her tumblr as well ✨

things that always make me happy: serial commenters. there are three types

1) reading a longfic chapter by chapter, leaving an increasingly emotional comment on every chapter, descends into keysmashes near the end: outstanding

2) read one fic by accident, clicked the author name, now working steadily through the backlog and commenting on everything, I wake up to an AO3 inbox full of enthusiasm: precious beyond words

3) the longterm serial commenter whose comment begins with I don’t even know this fandom but because they have followed me from somewhere else: stunning. humbling. magical.

[fineillsignup]

these are all *chef’s kiss* and I want to add one more: 4) left a comment a while ago, comes back and leaves another comment on the same fic, telling you that they’re coming back to reread the fic: angels. blessings. lifesavers.
