Soooo I’ve been reflecting a lot the last few weeks. Two years ago, I went through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Although it has ultimately pointed me into the direction of taking better care of myself, the process has seen me pulling away from some things that used to bring me a lot of joy (like writing and posting here).

One thing that always brought me joy through this time was engagement on my fics. Even though I haven’t posted new pieces since then, I still regularly check and get genuinely happy to find interaction with my work.

So, I’m trying to start doing more to provide this engagement and joy to other writers. I’m going to make an extra effort to regularly reblog fics that I read and enjoy and hope that all of you will do the same! I’ve seen a dip in interaction across the whole fandom and would love to give some more love back to the fabulous writers who put out masterpieces for us.

Anyway this was a large ramble, but anyway… please join me in spreading positivity and interaction! Feel free to send me some of your favorite fics that I can share with everyone else!

My MRI results were finalized and it appears everything is well and nothing scary or too concerning. Endometriosis as expected.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, to everyone who offered good thoughts and vibes, and to everyone who took time out of their day to read, like, and comment on any of the stories and/or send in asks. It means the world, truly, that I can share these characters and their story lines in the different fandoms.

And, since I’m here, if you haven’t done so, please vote tomorrow! Have a plan in place, if you go later in the day, stay in line even if the polls close! You still get to vote! Vote ALL the way down the ballot! Local and state elections are just as important as the presidential!

I was able to get the appointments and the plan I have in place because of a very specialized doctor who listened and knew that women’s health care is important and that pain isn’t normal. These are the women we need to keep taking us forward, because we are never going back.

when do you think Control 2 is coming out (if ever)

Control 2 has been confirmed! But I don't think any kind of release date has been announced yet. I'd guess it will be another couple years until it comes out.

Working on any cool fics? Got any previews?

Hi! I have been working on the next part of the Wish We Could Be Like That series, then I got distracted by a prequel to the prequel request for the same series. adhd for the win 🤦🏻‍♀️

as for a preview... 👀

“Damn,” Clint groans when his back hits the floor. 

You are currently winning your weekly sparring matches with the archer. Mostly you spar with Wanda or Natasha or the whole team as a group. However, you and Clint have regularly scheduled sparring on Tuesday nights, and tonight is no exception.  

It began as a way to break the ice. Something you can do together to help rebuild the bond of teammates and hopefully friends.  

 He taps the mat, and you release him from the hold. “Still not taking it easy on me,” he takes the hand you offer to help him back to his feet. “You ever gonna let up?” 

“Eventually,” you chuckle to yourself, “I got thrown against a wall and shot, so I think that entitles me to a few more weeks at least.”

Would you be willing to write 25/8 again? I think you write Wandanat x daughter!reader so well!! <33

I was kinda thinking like Wanda and Nat forgot that Y/N had a concert and the only person to find out is Lena. But Y/N begs Lena not to tell bc she doesn’t want her moms to feel bad. And the next morning, there’s a whole moment: Y/N is super out of it and forgets her violin downstairs.

Soooooo, I def want to continue this work! I haven’t had much time this year because I moved to a new state and started a new job.

I will say this! You are exactly right! They forgot she has a concert. What reader never told them, is that she has a big solo that she has been perfecting for months. She wanted it to be a surprise, but looks like she forgot to factor in busy mom life into the plan. 😔

You are very close on another part, but that’s all I’m going to say!!! 👀

I do hope to continue writing in the new year!

hope you’re doing well!

Thank you! It’s been a rough week, I had to put my dog down yesterday, and it was really hard. I’m not quite sure what to do with myself, so everything is kind of on pause right now while I figure out how to move forward.

I know I have a lot of messages and inbox asks, and I promise I will get to them soon! ❤️

Thank you!

Snow On The Beach has reached 30,000 hits! I still have a hard time believing anyone wants to read these stories, let alone so many. So thank you all so very much, it means the world!

To celebrate Snow On The Beach reaching 30,000 hits, let’s play the word game! Send me a word, and I’ll see if it’s in my documents. Specify the story, if you like, otherwise I’ll pick one at random! Perhaps even some that aren’t yet published! 😉 Or if you’d like to ask a question about the stories, that’s always welcome! (Remember we’re an 18+ blog)

And know that the update to True North is coming!

Mira Jacob posted a photo this morning that I haven’t see on Tumblr yet, so I thought I would share:

“Art is making something no one asked for—not because they didn’t need it, but because they didn’t know they needed it until you made it, until it helped them breathe and dream and find a way forward…”

I hope you revisit your favorite art on Tumblr, on AO3, on FFN.net—wherever your favorites live, to take a moment to breathe and know that we will keep going.

We will keep fighting for everyone.
