Rules: Make a 24hr poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It’s fine if you only have one, still make a poll for the vote count). Whichever WIP title gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.
There's a lot oml 🙏 there were definitely more Skk wips (so, so much angst), but I found a lot of Sskk too :>
1 - I found a wip of a similar-to-beast fic, and it was actually relatively fleshed out. Wrote the whole first chapter and everything 💀. It was where Chuuya was the one who found Atsushi and brought him into the Mafia, where afterwards he was paired with Akutagawa. I wrote down an awful lot for this fic actually, from like specifics of Akutagawa and Atsushi's first mission together, to Skk's relationship and where the ADA lied in all of this. I should probably get back to this wip one day 🙏
2 - one was very, very indulgent and a hurt/comfort oneshot where Atsushi stays over at Akutagawa's place. The hurt is real but so is the comfort 😔
3 - this one has a title, "sick, yes, of you, no," and it's a sskk sick fic where Atsushi gets a cold and Akutagawa begrudgingly has to take care of him
4 - this one also randomly had a lot put into it, but a oneshot revolving around Sskk's six months deal, and how they dealt with it after...everything. Slightly an excuse for me to write a lot of sskk introspection, yes, and also I adore sskk love confession scenes so :>
5 - this one's official title is "cowboy like me" and no it's not a wild west au rip 💔, it's based off the song cowboy like me by Taylor Swift, and the song itself should definitely tell you enough about the fic hehehe
6 - also incredibly indulgent but like also this is my writing so ykw might as well write the things I want to write, but just a little something where Akutagawa's really the only person who can calm Atsushi
7 - titled "a heart is drawn around your name in someone's handwriting, not mine," in which Atsushi starts to get a secret admirer and when Akutagawa finds out he gets awfully jealous, because whoever the admirer is, it's not him. Can't spoil the ending though
8 - this one is very silly in concept, Atsushi gets hit by an ability user whose ability is to make you admit your deepest secret, and Atsushi's deepest secret™ is that he's sort of kinda maybe madly in love with Akutagawa, as one does, and the mission where he gets hit by the ability user is a mission he has with Akutagawa of all people, but thankfully, when he randomly bursts out loud to Akutagawa that he loves him? The mafioso in denial is convinced Atsushi was hit by an ability that worked like a love spell 🙏 he thinks Atsushi is just under the work of some ability and ahahaha there's no way Atsushi really likes him like that, right? Right?? Anyways, shenanigans 100% ensue 😔
So that's actually not all of the sskk wips I have scrounged about but the list has already become long so I'll cut it here 😔
There are a lot of unfinished stories on AO3. I know that many people refuse to read a story that will probably never end for fear of being left with the agony of not knowing how it ends, and I understand them. However, there are unfinished stories of such beauty, originality, and writing that I am convinced it is always better to have them in my world than never to have read them.
So I wanted to thank every author who finds the time, desire, and enthusiasm to give something that makes the world a better place.
There are unfinished stories to which I remain committed, even if ten, fifteen, even twenty years have passed since their last publication. I like to think that I wait for them with the hope of a puppy waiting for its owner at the subway station.
So I wanted to share them with you. Maybe if enough of us read them and hope hard, a miracle will happen. Or maybe you'll just have some beautiful stories that remain beautiful even though they don't have an ending.
Today, I'm inaugurating the Garden of Unfinished Stories, and I'll be planting my favorites there. If you could leave a message for their author and help me keep my hope alive, I'd be grateful. Maybe my flowers will grow and bloom.
(These are all things I’m currently working on as of 27 January 2023)
ON AO3 CURRENTLY:
In The Marrow of My Bones
Summary: Steve wakes up in 2012 and has no idea that the whole world has read his old wartime journal.
I Didn’t Know That I was Starving (‘Till I tasted you)
Summary: Bucky finally decides to get a sugar daddy. After striking out with the usual sites, he takes a look on the darkweb. Just to see what he can see. Somehow, he managed to find one made for vampires seeking vampires. But there's one problem. Bucky isn't a vampire, and he doesn't know Steve is one either.
IN MY DRAFTS:
1) 2022 MTH fic
2) space AU based on a Queen song
3) another werewolf AU set in 1950’s England
So far I’m super excited about all my WIPS and my upcoming fics! If you have any ideas or comments at all, just let me know!
I’m mainly on twt but Stucky twt is lowkey dead so I’m going to go back to posting on both places. I miss y’all 😭 I miss my Stucky mutuals fr 😭
wow okay, this fic has A LOT of lore. if you don't want to read a fic with a plot full of Plot and Slow Burn then this isn't the fic for you. alternatively, if you're looking for a fic that reads like it should be shoved in the recesses of a dingy library then this might be the fic for you?
masterlist
the fic:
the phantom's game will be incredibly slow in the beginning because it's basically remus just getting his footing in the world of literature and it's building up to the main plot.
this fic will also be written in three parts (but it will be put all together as one fic in case you want to download it or whatever, it also makes reading easier i think) or at least that's the aim. it may end up being more than three (maybe four MAYBE) and the word count aim is around 100k to 120k words. ideally the fic was to have around 40/50 chapters but as of now im really uncertain about the length (even though i know how it ends lol) because, and im such a nerd for this, but i ended up doing some math about fic chapter length compared to the original work and so far ive gathered that for every 1 chapter in the original work i have 2 chapters for my fic and an additional 1.5k words. it took me forever to work that out please clap. counting words in a book is hard.
and also
i feel like it's a testament to the dedication im putting into this fic 😔
the point of view might change from third to first person after part one, which may be a bit confusing so im putting a pin in this idea for now as im not even close to part two (let me know what you think about this!)
characters/relationships
this fic is written from the perspective of remus lupin and the main pairing is wolfstar (remus/sirius). main characters are remus, leo ferox (from the fanfiction all the young dudes), and sirius black. other characters are barty crouch jr, lily evans and her father who is an oc; maurice evans and other characters will be added as i write because i cba to actually flesh it out rn (and also i dont want to spoil). there are also minor relationships that are discussed.
trigger warnings/content warnings:
there are quite a few things that happen in this fic that id like to forewarn you of should you decide to read it. there are discussions of abusive parents, substance abuse and violence. in one of the chapters there will be some dubious consent, drugging, there will be descriptions of murder and violence as well as discussions around mental illness and homophobia. discussions/mentions of suicide!!!!
i will be adding on as the fic goes because i know there is stuff that ive missed.
why am i doing this???
i largely wrote this fic because i got high on meds and some other stuff it was wacko and i had absolutely nothing to do. id completely given up in trying to recover my old zombie apocalypse fic (it's a long story) and i really wanted something that i was familiar with not just because i liked the complex and the idea but because i knew it. iykwim?
it's based on a book i read when i was fifteen that got me out of the second largest reading slump in my life and basically catapulted me into the genre of fantasy realism and the whole dark/chaotic academia scene. i also decided that i would continue writing it after my beta @thestrawberryapologist showed interest in it.
another reason why i continued it rather than trying to piece together a nonexistent zombie apocalypse fic was because i have recommended this book COUNTLESS times but it seems no one i recommended it to seemed to like it.
so this is me saying, very passive aggressively, that the plot IS GOOD :(
i smashed the original book in like 2 days and ive been thinking about it for four years straight. i haven't even gotten to reading the other parts of the series because im still hooked on how THIS specific one was written.
its also a really fun (and for me) a new look into the characters because ive really never written anything this detailed before. the plot is a rollercoaster and you HAVE to stay on your toes with the the original work and i would really really like to reflect that onto my writing.
this is also the first time since i was 15/16 that ive properly attempted anything full length with the means to actually finish it off.
when is it going to be finished?
that's a good question. and one i don't know the answer to. it took me 2 months to get to chapter 4 so... it may take a year or two or 6 months dude but it's gonna be long and it's gonna be full
please don't be shy to ask me about it (though that doesn't mean im inclined to spoil it — which i won't!)
