5 favourite things I’ve written...
Tagged by the lovely @ilovemesomekillianjones :) Thanks darling!
I’m not gonna stick to all CS here, because I’m gonna go with my overall favourites. In no particular order...
Some love stories don't unfold right away, some take time to get to the good part. Emma Swan has no idea when she meets Killian Jones, that that day will become a very important part of her life. Catch a glimpse into the world of Emma and Killian for a single day each year. ~12,500 words.
Why? I don’t know, I guess because I think it’s one of my more creative works. It’s really a challenge to try to write a continuous story when you only get to capture one day each year. So much happens in between that, and how do you convey all the things that happen “off screen”, as it were? I guess I think that this is the piece that pushed me the most so far, and I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out.
That Don’t Sound Like You (CS)
Emma and Killian find Liam in the Underworld, and things don’t go quite as Emma planned. Written before 5x15, so I guess it’s an alternative to that. ~2600 words.
Why? I just really enjoyed doing this piece, because it felt better to me than what we got in 5x15. This is more in line with what I would have liked to see. Idk, I guess I just feel like this one turned out well, so.
Hold Onto Me, I’m a Little Unsteady (CS)
Emma isn’t the only one who has a hard time saying goodbye. ~2300 words.
Why? Ah, omg, I loved writing this one. Anything where I get to really delve deep into Killian’s mind and past and heart is just awesome for me, so I enjoyed doing this. I think it’s probably one of my favourites more just because of how into writing it I was, rather than just because I was pleased with the outcome.
Lucky I’m In Love With My Best Friend (HP)
Deamus wedding, sometime post-Battle of Hogwarts. Prompted by the headcanon that “Seamus used his particular proclivity for pyrotechnics to set off fireworks at his and Dean’s wedding.” ~3000 words.
Why? I love the headcanon (though to be fair, I’m pretty biased as its mine), and this song (which I hadn’t listened to or thought about in years) popped into my head and voila, fic. Idk, again, it was fun to write, and it was different. I got to play with some characters I don’t usually write, so that was fun.
Beginning in 1965, when the Marauders are all 5 years old, we follow them as they meet, become friends, experience tragedy, fall in love, and do all the other things they’re supposed to do. See them start their Hogwarts years, play pranks, and grow closer, becoming more like brothers than friends. WIP (~32,000 words)
Why? If I had to pick an all-time favourite, it’s this one. In part because its the closest thing to an original book that I’ve done. I mean, yes, the main characters were the creation of someone else and the setting and stuff, but at the same time, we don’t know a lot about them, so there’s so much to be creative with. Not to mention there’s a whole host of original characters that I got to make and there’s this whole universe that’s living in my head (which I’m trying to put on paper at @thosemarauderboys, and I’m just really excited about this story, and I think it has a very special place in my heart.
I’m not going to tag anyone because my brain is too fried right now to even try to remember the urls of all my favourite writers (sorry guys), so if you want to do this go for it, I have just tagged you
