Okay, who ate my word doc? @quenchiestcactusjuice99 - Tumblr Blog

oh yes, just a reminder to anyone who came to this blog from AO3: you can ask when I'll update stuff. that doesn't upset me. My one caveat is that you have to tell me something you liked about the fic first.

Cactus is the name, (not) writing is the game

none of my fics are abandoned unless they are tagged that way. if I promised to update something by a date and still haven't, know that I didn't lie I just failed. my bad

believe it or not, university takes up a lot of space in my life and I often take extra classes during the summer. you can ask when I'll update but the answer may not please you

I have a standing open rec request for crossover fics featuring 2 or more batfamily members. If you know any, good or bad, send 'em my way.

Fic of the week rec list:

#cactus musings

i was kinda trying to set up an update schedule for the upcoming semester but it’s not working because I am not a patient person. I want to post my new stuff Now. And then I remembered that’s why I’ve never had an update schedule. As soon as I write the stuff, I want to post it.

if I can get enough Acid chapters built up, I want to have 3 or 4 updates in October (because I like October). But right now I only have 1. And once classes start I’m going to be busy.

But otherwise I think I’ll post the new stuff whenever. I’ve got a Kisame oneshot and a Criminal Minds/FMAB crossover lined up for this month which will be fun.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

Fic of the Week

Rooftop Rendezvous by renegade_knight (The Last of Us)

“So, you’re their lab rat,” he said. “I’m not a rat,” she said indignantly. The disheveled ponytail, dirt stained clothes, bare feet, and the way she presently occupied the ground were doing a lot to counter her statement. But he knew a kid missing context when he saw one. “They’re using you to run experiments to test their theories. They used to do that shit to rats Before,” he said. Her expression twitched with what was surely the question of why but she shook her head dismissively and instead said, “I’m the only immune person they’ve found. They need to study me.” “So,” he said with repeated emphasis. “You’re their lab rat.” ~ (or the AU where Marlene wasn’t the one who found Ellie in the mall so naturally Joel runs into her on a roof one night and then keeps running into her)

39k words, complete. If FEDRA was the one trying to figure out Ellie’s immunity instead of the Fireflies. I liked the ending, but check the tags to see if this one’s for you.

this might be kind of a reach but is there a way for printers to connect to devices so that documents can be printed from them

Fic of the Week

seventeen going under by BoneRot19 (DCU)

"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk. "Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago." Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time. "He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting. Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too." -- AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.

Poignant, with Jason’s signature dry humor. Also Shakespeare references. All timer. 32k words, complete.
