1, 2, & 4!
Ohhh hi! :D So Arranged Marriage, heehee X)
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way? I can't remember how I came about the idea, but I do remember the first part I started fantasizing about was their wedding and wedding night, and then the first few days afterward. I had a few key scenes in mind (him leaving her bed after they were, ahem, done, the Jigoku arc, the enchanted bracelet, and a late honeymoon trip together) but things morphed as I wrote it.
I pretty much wrote things stream-of-consciousness based on a handful of scenes and then the plot started to come together (which I reformed in editing). I wrote it to keep myself sane during 2020 and the first few months of 2021, and I had a LOT to say apparently. XD It was the first fanfic I'd written in years. It let me live vicariously through fiction and blurt out my experiences and my hopes and dreams and wishes for canon too. So it just kinda came out!
Anyway, that's why I'm suffering now when editing it LOL. Because it was originally me vomiting in a Google doc for days at a time. It was all hashed out in 9 months, but editing and honing...ah that will take years to come.
2: What scene did you first put down? I write chronologically unless I get SUPER stuck (or ahead of myself and need to slow the pacing). Like I mentioned before, the first scenes I thought of had to do with their wedding, but the first one I wrote is the kamaitachi attack in chapter 1!
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue? Oh, that's a tough one LOL. I have a few, but this one from the god summit in part 7 is memorable:
“Ah, yes, this is my smite pile!”
“Your what pile?” Nanami sputtered out, choking on her own spit.
“My smite pile,” Tomoe repeated, blinking at her, expression smoothing out. “I have it organized by the severity of the smiting.“
Or it might be this one from part 3 because it's so cuuuute:
“You’re adorable,” she said, unable to contain it, and leaned in to kiss his nose. Giggling, she wrapped him in the towel and flung the end over his head, and smiled up at him, her hands at his arms. “And now you’re a sushi roll.”
Thanks for the ask!! 😊💖
