a walk in the dark, in the dark chapter summary:

Assistant Surgeon Harry Goodsir could not seem to find sleep on Erebus.  chapter 2 of "the moon, it sings" - a fic that started off as me trying to fulfill a monsterfucking prompt for kinktober, and has spiraled into a new chapfic because I Just Can't Seem To Help Myself. :) this fic and its chapters are for my darling friend @13hemoglobin, and take inspiration from the song "the moon will sing" by the crane wives!

beginning chapter notes:

hiiiii gang - ty for your patience with updates to kinktober prompt fills.........and for putting up with the fact that this is not the standard "part 2: smutty electric boogaloo" that the others have been. you'll get it eventually! don't ya worry. <3 also, a content warning for references to self harm, with...stronger intentions than just harm. please exercise self preservation when you need to, sailors. xoxo

hemoooooo darling!

we yap a decent amount so i feel like you hear the shit i have to say all of the time (lol) but i just wanna say that i adore our friendship and i'm SO glad fandom gifted that to me :') your heart and your brain are HUGE and it's a treat to see both of those in action. hope you're being kind to yourself today, friend <3

also! i have had SUCH a craving to go back and reread parts of corpora cavernosa (if y'all haven't read it yet, GO FUCKING READ IT. hemo's incredible). i think about chapter 19 with tozer and little All Of The Time. deeeelicious.

from an ask game: send me a 🌻 and ill just tell you whatever the fuck i want :)

12 and 13 and 14 ask game. Love you

hi hemo!!! ilyyyyyy

12. how do you show affection (this can be platonic or romantic)?

platonic or romantic, i think i show affection through quality time and acts of service. when i'm feeling my best, i LOVE cooking for people and hosting folks in my home. i also really enjoy running errands with/for people. also, huge fan of just enjoying hobbies in the same space with someone, even if we're not doing something "together" (parallel play, i guess?). that shit rules.

13. favourite film?

answered here and here! but fuck it, here's some more favorites (focusing on horror movies this time bc why not):

army of darkness

house (1977)

trick r' treat

the night of the hunter

the lighthouse

14. piece of media that left a lasting impact on you?

already answered here (twin peaks)! another easy pick for this is the lord of the rings trilogy. absolutely obsessed with the books and the movies as a kid, and still adore them now. tolkien was one of the first authors that made me go "holy shit, i think i want to write". also apparently, i used to call the action figure of gollum i had as a kid "my boyfriend" very loudly and proudly. my mom loves to remind Everyone of this. i turned out Fine

thank you so much for these, hemo :)

questions are from this ask game

[ardentanchor]

qs 1 and 4 and 5 for the music ask game!

hemo darlinggggggg :))

1. a song you liked as a child

ooh such a good question :')) hmm. according to my mom, i'd stop kicking and chill tf out when she played anything by The Eagles on her belly. unsure if there was a specific song she would play.

anywho. not limiting myself to a single song here, but an album that was in her car all of the time growing up that i'd recommend listening the whole way through to is our endless numbered days - iron & wine. cinder and smoke, love and some verses, and passing afternoon are my top 3 tracks from it. i will ALWAYS love this album.

4. a song you'd put on a playlist for a character you love

already answered this bad boy but i'll gladly provide more >:))

the bug collector - haley heynderickx (a goodsir-coded song to me! could easily see this on a goodcollins, goodsilna, or goodsilnacollins playlist)

kiss off - violent femmes (my favorite violent femmes track. can't explain why, but it makes me think of tozer. maybe has solittle vibes? uncertain...)

5. a song think most of your followers haven't heard before

gonna use this as an opportunity to be annoying and plug a song cycle i've actually performed before: sea pictures - elgar. i don't think a lot of my followers are into classical music/art song (maybe i'm wrong?) but any of y'all that like the terror and the sea would LOVE this song cycle i think. i sang this on my senior recital for undergrad :))

hi S! number 1 and 8 and 14 for the fanfic ask game thing please

also i really love the pfp! it's edward yes??

hi hemo!! :)

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

oh man. of the ones i've uploaded to ao3, probably whitechapel wants us dead. it's been slow-moving because of the research i'm putting into it, but the process of planning it and writing out all of the dialogue has made it a fav!

if i'm including things that aren't uploaded yet, though, there's an AU i'm working on that's been soooo fun to write, and i think it'll end up being my favorite overall. i wanna say more buuuut i also want to keep it under wraps until i feel ready to share it. :) (it's ned-focused, mainly solittle+ , modern...)

8. shortest completed fic you wrote this year

i think it's my bridglar fic: fair snow, fair youth! oneshot, 3328 words.

and i answered 14 in a previous post :) ty for these darling xoxo

thank you for the lovely lil gift in my inbox, hemo!

💖 What do you like most about your own writing? I've been really critical of my writing lately, so this is hard question to answer! I think my answer to this, especially in my creative writing (since I write a lot both for my PhD and fic/writing projects, my brain lumps them into two categories), is my ability to weave back and forth between things happening in different characters' heads/inner monologues, and what's happening around them. I fuck heavily with third person omniscient POV so I can bop back and forth between characters to play with how they think, feel, and respond to one another in a single scene. It feels like tinkering to me, and a chance to get to know characters a bit better! (Honestly, it even helps me work myself out of a writing rut when I don't know how to transition or wrap something up.) Yay to writing feeling like play and all that

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc). Been trying to pat myself on the back lately for HOW much writing I've been doing, especially since re-entering fandom. I've talked to some folks about this, but in middle school and early high school, I wrote CONSTANTLY. Wanted to be the next Tolkien/Le Guin/Austen/etc. But depression and other complex mental health shit took the joy out of it for me, and I lost all interest. Starting my doctorate and getting back into fic writing is what really propelled me into loving it as a creative practice again. So yeah, I guess I'm proud of how much of it I've been doing since August, and the growth I've felt/seen in my writing since then.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave). SUCH A HARD QUESTION OH MY FUCK. One I've been going back to a lot lately is Cranefoot by ada frogg (anomieow). It's short and sweet, it leans dark and mysterious (CNC CW), and it's Goodcollins, so how could I not, ya know? It also made me feel a bit braver, and inspired me to work with some of the prompts I've been working with for kinktober :)

ty again for this hemoooooooooo xoxoxoxoxo
