Here’s the Boyd/Hsin story from stream today
Ok guys – so, some of you may have missed the stream but wanted to read what we have so far, and others of you may have been in the stream but forgot to read what we were writing because you were distracted by the chat.
So we decided to share what we wrote today so if you can make it to the second stream with the second half of the story, you’ll know what’s happening.
Hsin/Boyd story is below the cut. IMPORTANT NOTE: it’s not at all edited and is not done! It will be finished in the next stream.
It probably has typos and inconsistencies and etc, because we wrote it while streaming for the first time ever so we were distracted figuring everything out and talking on chat + we switched back and forth between both of us writing it. I haven’t reread it at all tbh. We will edit it later when the whole thing is finished. This is just so you know what happened if you make it to the next stream. Also FYI for anyone who needs to know spoiler info:
It’s set after Evenfall but before Afterimage.
STORY BELOW:
Keep reading
It was my first time being privy to a writing session. Thank you so much for doing these live streams! It specially means a lot to me because ICoS is my favorite series and Ais and Santino are my fave authors! I wasn’t able to really follow the video stream because internet here suckzz big time so i only had the chat but its still worth me waking up at 3AM to join you guys. 😁
Julian Files chapter 5
I’m gonna be honest, you guys. This chapter is particularly slice-of-life. I don’t know if that means it’s super boring. I feel like it is.
But it’s also dorky and possibly humorous, and has lots of baby Boyd possibly being cute? I have no concept of this stuff. Maybe it’s just dumb, or maybe all this makes it okay. I have no idea!
I feel like this chapter is kind of fluffy and I’m super unaccustomed to writing (and not deleting) fluff. If this sucks then I apologize for the boring inconvenience :(
Oh right, if you want to see my artistic interpretation of what Cedrick drew, I put it in my first newsletter. When you get to the end of the chapter, or that scene, feel free to scroll down at the link and finally understand all that confusion ;)
Tuesday June 28, 2005 Cedar Hills neighborhood Lexington, PA
“Goooood morning, sunshine!”
Boyd shot up in bed, his blond hair a mass of tangles and fluff. His golden eyes were wide, turning to the door even as his little Batman pajama shirt fell partially off his shoulder. Cedrick grinned and took great hopping strides into the room, all the way to the bed.
“How’s my favorite son today? Did you sleep well?”
Boyd rubbed at his eyes and frowned. “What are you doing, daddy?”
Cedrick threw himself onto the bed, looping his arms around Boyd and dragging him down with him. He hugged him close, rolling back and forth while Boyd let out a startled huff.
“Guess what I did already today, Boyd? Can you guess?”
“No.”
“You didn’t even try!”
Boyd giggled as Cedrick shifted to ruffling his hair. “I don’t know!”
“Well, if you aren’t even going to guess I’ll just tell you. I called in sick for you and me.”
Boyd twisted around to look at Cedrick, amber eyes large and confused. “Why? I’m not sick. Are you?”
Cedrick had already run through his mind how he would handle this today, so he smiled and said, “No, but you do well in school and that should be rewarded. I’m instating a new system, where if you do super well, we’ll get to play hooky sometimes and go around together doing all the fun things we want. Besides,” he added, “this is just the summer academy right now. They won’t mind if you take one day off.”
Boyd frowned but it was more thoughtful than anything. “Then what are we doing today?”
“You’ll see!” Cedrick sat up and pulled Boyd along with him, absently smoothing down his hair. “Okay, get ready, buddy. I can help you with your hair. Do you want help with your clothes?”
“No.” Boyd scrunched up his face.
He had liked choosing his own clothes for a while now, preferring not to be treated like a little kid. Cedrick thought it was adorable, but didn’t say anything because Boyd Would Not Appreciate That.

***Possible ICoS spoiler ahead!*** Ho ma gah! I don’t mind the slice-of-life at all, because playful baby Boyd and doting Ceddy is way too cute!! 😍 😘 But at the same time, their interactions now makes me so sad, especially when I think about the events in the ICoS books and the revelations. Cedrick would have been such a valuable character.. and JJ too 😭

Wowwwww
Damn.. I'd live to tattoo these on my body.
Hi Ais! I just recently discovered the ICoS Back Story you wrote for The Slash Pile Winter Anthology Back in 2011 randomly (actually, that was a really hard find, for realz), and found that it was Lou and Boyd's bitter-sweet story. When I read the part when Lou's death was revealed, it made me wonder; what were Lou's last thoughts while he was looking at Boyd as his life was slipping away? You described it in the book so vividly well that I can almost see it play in my head as it all happens.
Hi! lol sorry about that XD I tried to bury that story for years because I was so embarrassed about it that I specifically didn’t tell people I’d written it XD So I’m not surprised it was kind of hard to find. But then I was like, well I guess I wrote it so I should just leave it available. It’s kind of embarrassing but whatever. I wonder if I should put it on my website? Would that help?
Anyway so tbh from the moment I first heard this song, I always imagined it was what ran through Lou’s mind as he lay dying. I don’t know why, it’s just like, the lyrics for me fit so well all the feelings I imagine he could have had. It’s not perfect but this is a good approximation of the various things he was thinking.
I’ve always loved the way it’s basically like, in the way I interpret it because I can’t help hearing it through Lou’s voice, I think of it as a song someone sings when they love someone else, but they have regrets, they have doubts and fears, they have a lot of things. The love doesn’t waver but they begin to worry, what impression am I leaving like this? What will happen when I’m gone?
This is how I imagine it went, in some form…

Damn if this did not make me tear up😭. Why was Lou's life so sad? He didn't even do anything wrong. It just breaks my heart again and again.. 💔
Question for ICoS readers/fans: Julian Files?
Hey guys, I was thinking about Santino’s/ @thatdudesantino‘s plan to start releasing parts of 180 Proof Vega in August or so, and I started thinking about how it’s bugging me that Julian Files is just wasting away on my hard drive like 180 Proof Vega is for him.
So there’s a possibility he and I could alternate releasing parts of our individual ICoS prequel projects. Like, let’s say we both do monthly releases (or whatever we choose) – we could offset our release date plans by half that time so that in the monthly example, you’d get 180 Proof Vega, and 2 weeks later Julian Files, and 2 weeks later 180 Proof Vega, then Julian Files 2 weeks after that, etc.
So my main question is whether anyone even cares about me releasing Julian Files or not. If there isn’t interest, no problem. It can be left at just 180 Proof Vega being released :) Which is already awesome enough. So – would you want me to start releasing Julian Files for free this summer?
If you’re like “what the fuck is Julian Files even???”, it’s a book set in the past for the In the Company of Shadows world–in 2005/2006. It focuses primarily on Julian Jones, a Private Investigator in Lexington who is also really good friends with Cedrick Beaulieu, Boyd’s father, and it focuses on the Beaulieu family. There is Cedrick POV, Julian POV, baby Boyd POV (he’s 5-7 over the course of the story), Vivienne POV… Baby Lou makes an appearance, as do some other cameos. It’s partially a story about their lives at that time as a family, and partially a story about things I can’t explain in detail right now because of spoilers that you learn in Fade.
Speaking of: you should not read it until after finishing Fade because of said spoilers. But if you’ve read Fade, then the thing Boyd finds out will feature in Julian Files. More info on Julian Files at my site.
At the moment I have over 75,000 words written in it, and I’m idk, maybe 70% or so finished with writing it. Depends on how many more scenes I want to add. It’s not professionally edited, so it would be a bit of a rough story. I may have to stop releasing before the story is finished if I don’t get the chance to finish writing the rest of the book on time, BUT you’d still get all the story leading up to it, and it might make me better about finishing it knowing people are waiting.
Would anyone want me to start sharing it or is there not interest and I should just keep it around until I eventually finish it and release it later? I know a story with a 5 year old Boyd, some rando you don’t know, and Cedrick is not as sexy as young Emilio which is why I don’t know if it matters either way to anyone lol So I figured I’d ask because if no one cares then I’ll default to my laziness of not sharing. (lol I’m a pro at being lazy ^_~) But if there is interest then I can start sharing it in August or whenever :)
Oh my God. Oh my God please. Please make this happen. I cannot fucking wait. 😭 🌈

This fucking duck. Gets me every time.
Answering Asks
I have Asks going back a year and there’s a reason I stopped answering them. Basically, I get a lot of anons asking me why I don’t write things like ICoS professionally and why I’m writing that dumb M/M Romance stuff.
Reader preference is reader preference and I in no way expect ICoS fandom to automatically love my romance, but they’re two different genres. IMO ICoS is queer spec fic, whereas genre romance to me is about the growth of people in their relationships with a guaranteed HEA or HFN ending.
Now, I totally understand if that’s not for you BUT there are reasons I like writing romance and why it is a positive experience for me. I have written before about my upbringing as a bisexual dude, and the negativity I’ve gone through in my life, so it’s almost a form of self-care that I get to write about gay and bi dudes who go through shit and are guaranteed to get it together and make it out successful and happy in their relationships.
SO, since I’m back on tumblr I plan to start answering my Asks again but I’ll probably skip the “why are you writing that trash?” questions. *shrug* I might get dragged for saying that, but just fair warning if you’re wondering why I haven’t answered your Ask questioning my life choices. ;) I get enough of that from my RL fam without my ICoS fam doing it too <3
I love your writing! I’ll always read whatever books you write because your an amazing writer. fuck them ppol who think otherwise. they just jealous coz they cant do shit with their pallid life. ❤
180
talking to @ais-n about posting my draft of 180 Proof Vega: part 1 for free on here since i am likely not going to self publish it any time soon, and i’m tired of it sitting on my hard drive. 50k words of unedited vega, dudes. should happen sometime this summer.
okay, i told myself i could come back to talking about this after writing at least 3k words of 5B book 5, and i did it. so, more explanations about 180:
i was sure i wrote a post about it before, but i can’t find it. and my laptop really hates Tumblr (or my Internet), and I can barely get it to load in a timely enough fashion for my extra impatient ass to not grow violent what with the slamming of my mouse and “HURRY THE FUCK UP”. anyway.
180.
my original idea was for 180 Proof Vega to be a series of novellas starting with Emilio being “vetted” and inducted (read: abducted and blackmailed) into the Agency. it would start when he is around 18 years old, and span the next decade or so. i had ideas for roughly 10-12 novellas, and Zachary Carhart would not make an appearance until towards the middle of the series (with an entire novella dedicated to Brighton)
the first story (which has 10/12 finished chapters at the moment) shows Teen Vega’s slow transition from gun runner and criminal prodigy to an Agency trainee. And this is at a time when Agency trainees were generally all like Zach and Kassian, so… i’m sure you can imagine how everyone treated each other.
the series will basically need every trigger warning known to man but the first one has content that is a little disturbing which is partially why i’ve been sitting on it for so long. if you’ve read the parts on GR, you have met Cameron, so I really shouldn’t need to say more. BUT I WILL.
TW for dubious consent, violence, language, offensive language, and some more violence. and please please prepare yourself for massive character death somewhere down the road if i ever write all 10-12 parts. if you’ve read ICoS, you know that the characters who are in pre-bombing Agency aren’t there AFTER the bombings of Lexington.
that will be painful to write and painful to read because i love the characters i create and i hate to kill them off. did we already talk about how E/Z were originally supposed to die in That Chapter of Fade, and I couldn’t do it? yeah.
Anyway, me and Ais are throwing around the idea of me posting 180 little by little and her posting one of her ICOS projects, so expect that to start in August unless something in my life goes wrong (like always). I’ll likely end up starting out with an edited version of the first 3 chapters, and then fuss over the rest as i start to post more.
OH MY JEEBUZ PLZ! Make it happen please! Its been so long! I’ve been waiting for so long.. T^T

ICoS fandom story
Ok everyone let’s do a thing. Reblog this post and write in the tags:
1) how you first heard about ICOS 2) what convinced you to read it
this is the best thing ever
i’ll just write it here instead of the tags: 1. Recommended on goodreads. 2. Well it pretty much contain all my preferred genre, and then its free which is just awesome. Then I read the description and reviews and that’s it. Best. Decision. Ever.
STOP IM SCREAMING
I’m simultaneously laughing and crying while clutching my liberal arts degree in political science and gender studies.
We aren’t even Facebook friends. Pretty much everyone can agree on the fact that he and I are total strangers.
And yet, for some reason, I see his face every day. I have his picture hanging next to my desk at work, right next to some other photos of my boyfriend and some close family members. His unblinking eyes are always watching me as I plug away at my computer every day. His genuine, yet mischievous smile is always looking back at me when I glance in his direction.
read this. :)
Its sad that this is no longer accessible :( as new sub, i can no longer read it :’( and really, “Aguitar“.
