anemone and sunflower

For the flower asks for fanfic writers:

anemone: how old were you when you first started writing?

Answered here!

sunflower: what is the best feedback/compliment you’ve ever received regarding your writing?

I think it’s a tie between some version of ‘this was really heartbreaking, you made me cry’ and ‘your writing doesn’t feel like writing, it feels almost real’. I LOVE hearing that my writing is engrossing, and really affected a reader emotionally :D :D :D

Happy Families Are (Not) All Alike, for the extremely shallow reason that it's about my beautiful OT3 (not to mention Magda POV, which is my FAVORITE in OT3 fics). And also I really really love fics where Magda and Erik are separated and then reunited and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and also babiessssssssss <33333

Babies for everyone!!! That fic just came to me so easily somehow and I loved writing it so much. I’m really happy you like it so much!

C'mon man, you didn't see the Charles/Moira love that never was?? ���� I agree though... Tired of that trope. Gimme Charles going nuts on a world tour or something. Just seriously more than a bitter old 'you abandoned me!' Man...

It’s been done enough in the movies (and done to death in fic lol) so I’m all for giving Charles something new to do than being forlorn and rejected by Magneto lol. While we’re at it, let’s give Erik something better to do than making poor decisions and being the ‘bad guy’ for inexplicable reasons...

(seriously tho, Charles wasn't pining for Erik in DoFP! he was seruming himself to death because his school closed! and he def wasn't pining for Erik in XMA! he was busy running his true love, the school! and occasionally peeking in on his old flame Moira, apparently!"

Hey I know what I saw lol, but everything Charles does is about Erik don’t you know ? :D

Charles and Lilandra need a pairing name! (and they need Kinberg not to mess up Lilandra characterization...). 

I have zero faith in Simon Kinberg not to fuck it up (and by it I mean the plot, the characterization, the dialogue, the relationships) but getting them together on screen will be magic! I have faith in James when he has a worthy co-star he makes that dreck shine...

I just hope it's something more than "Lilandra kidnaps Charles and puts him in a coma"

Seeing as how I just commented on my faith in Simon Kinberg (ROFLMAO) I’m not willing to rule this out. BUT, let’s hope they at least put him in some sexy space gear while he’s in his coma lol!!!

awfullythick reblogged your post “Just watched DOFP again & realize a few things. In the future Erik is with Charles. He wears no helmet. We all can guess...”

Man, that would be awesome! Esp if it was also in a story where Magda and Nina lived……… 

That is literally the BEST idea I’ve read all month! 1000% cosign I want to see this happen!!!!!!!!

Super protective best friend Erik who wants Charles to find someone and be happy but at the same time doesn't think anyone is good enough XD Charles is also very protective of Erik, though he doesn't have the same issue since Erik/Magda have always been just a matter of time.

I find it 100% accurate and 100% ironic because of course Erik would think that no one (especially Erik himself) is good enough for Charles. So the flannel wearing, cigar chomping, wall of muscle certainly isn’t good enough either, and can’t be expected to keep up with his brilliant Charles lol. And yes of course Magda/Erik - there’s no question it works :D

awfullythick replied to your post “Thanks to the lovely @thea-polis, I think I have another chapter of...”

I feel you on having half a chapter written for like 6 months rofl

Haha right? I have bits and pieces of chapters written for half a dozen WIPs *cries*. I just get distracted with new ideas (oo shiny!) and then my poor stories languish for months. OR, I just can’t get over a particular hump in the story telling (like GoM) and then BAM - it’s 8 months between updates yikes!

What the fuck was he [meaning Logan! :D] supposed to do with a baby?

For the first sentence meme!

Charles/Logan; post-XMA AU/Logan AU (don’t ask me about timelines)

What the fuck was he supposed to do with a baby?

That had been the first (and second, and third) question on Logan’s mind, ever since that woman - Gabriela something - had shown up unannounced at the School, and promptly dropped a baby on his lap. She had told them a frankly fantastical story about ‘Stryker’ and ‘sperm’ and a ‘surrogate mother’ that had apparently given birth to a mutant with claws and accelerated healing…a baby girl that was supposedly Logan’s daughter.   

Seriously, what the fuck was he supposed to do with a baby?

“She’s not really a baby anymore, Logan. Gabriela said that Laura is fourteen months old; plus she’s already walking,” Charles says, making increasingly funny faces at the baby (toddler) perched on his lap. “Also we are going to take excellent care of her, and surround her with people who are going to absolutely adore her.”

“I don’t know a damn thing about kids, Chuck,” Logan replies, a little plaintively, but Charles just quirks an eyebrow at him before turning his attention back to Laura. “My head’s still barely on straight from what that fucker did to me…I can’t be anybody’s parent right now.”

“Logan.” Charles says his name with a sigh, and then turns the baby around so Logan has to look into their piercing gazes at the same time. “You’re Laura’s father, no matter the circumstances, and whether or not it’s the right time. I know this is overwhelming, and we’ll get help, I promise, but we can’t not look after her! She’s a unexpected blessing that’s come into our lives and I for one, couldn’t be happier.”

He punctuates the statement with a soft kiss on Laura’s head, nuzzling her hair as the baby grabs fistfuls of Charles’ sweater. She laughs when Charles tickles her belly, and burbles nonsense words that sound like ‘Cha, Cha’ when he pretends to eat her feet.

“You’re head over heels already, aren’t you?” he asks, as he reaches tentatively to brush her tiny cheek with his finger tips. Laura’s skin is petal soft, and her eyes are a few shades of blue darker than Charles’. “You… you just met her. And just like that, you’ve taken her into your home and into your heart. You love her.”

Charles smiles, and reaches for Logan’s hand. “What can I say? Like father, like daughter.”

This is not a question really, but Charles Xavier's Baby makes me soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much happier after having seen Logan. So so so much ahhhhhhhhhhhhh my baby Laura, The End of this ask. :P

It makes me happy too!!! That entire fic is just ridiculous crack that makes me so warm and fuzzy (not bad I say for someone who doesn’t really enjoy kid fic lol). I’m sooooo glad I decided to go with twin girls though instead of boys, because I adore Laura so much and what a great way for me to keep writing her badass self :D

I still have so many ideas for CXB that I want to explore...I mean, there are still TONS of snippets relating to how the twins were conceived and how they all had to deal with the pregnancy (and Charles’ hormones, weight gain, and bizarre diet choices lol). And then the girls as babies, and then toddlers and school aged...I mean the possibilities are endless really!

2, 5, 8!

2: summarize your current projectI have two! 

1. Charles Xavier is quite a good matchmaker, if he may say so himself (and he is the only one who does). His grouchy neighbor Erik disagrees, but Charles is going to show him once and for all; he can find the perfect match for his new friend and companion, the beautiful orphan Miss Darkholme. There’s certainly no need for her to waste herself on a bumpkin country doctor like Henry McCoy! (Cherik AU of Jane Austen’s Emma that I’m working on with @lachatblanche​. It’s taking for-freaking-ever and that is 100% my fault.)

2. Princess Ariana has been kept prisoner by a dragon for five years now. It’s not so bad, really -- she gardens, has the company of various failed rescuers who can’t be allowed to leave, and the dragon himself is a very decent sort. None of this is his idea, you see, though Ariana still doesn’t know whose idea it is or when she might be set free.

When her beloved dragon is killed, and replaced with his extremely bad-tempered son, the tranquility of Ariana’s gilded cage is shattered. She is determined to escape at last, whatever the cost -- to herself or to her new dragon. (Original YA fantasy, more information here.)

5: post a line from your current project without any context

1. Charles stared in utterhorror at this singular pronouncement. Mr. Azazel, perhaps mistaking his silencefor some more pleasant form of surprise, took the liberty--Charles could not believe he took the liberty--of leavinghis seat to settle himself next to Charles on the other side of the carriage.

2. "ThatI cannot argue with.""Truly?A statement that you cannot argue with? I am all amazement!""Asif you were a very picture of reasonable discourse.""Ah,that is more like yourself."

8: briefly discuss your outlining process, if you outlineOh, I outline the heck out of things. I really can’t work any other way, I have to know what I’m writing before I can write it. When I’m developing a story idea, I usually figure out the beginning, ending, and maybe the climax first. Then I brainstorm stuff that would be cool to have happen in the middle. Then I start stringing it together and figuring out how to connect it all. Making it all into a coherent plot sometimes happens in a more as-you-go sense, me outlining each chapter, writing it, then outlining the next one... it depends on how clear an idea I have for where the story is going. The answer to a blockage is almost certainly Moar Outlining. (UGH WRITING IS HARD.)
