For the fake fic ask game, "I wish I was an ocean" as a title?

Hi and thank you for the ask!

It's been a while but I do have a fic summary for you!

Sometimes the anger that lives deep in Boil's chest swells like a riptide, smashing through the walls Boil has built around it and drowning out the world with its dull roar.

Like the ocean behind Tipoca city's walls, it is merciless and indifferent.

Looking at Waxer playing with the cadets, no they are supposed to call them children now, Boil wishes he could put the past behind him as well but how is he supposed to forgive the galaxy for what its done to them?

Tagged by @cacodaemonia thank you very much!

Last line challenge

(Hiding it below the cut because it's slightly smutty) I'm writing two fics for different gift exchanges simultaneously in addition to my podfic wips and the one with more plot isn't going anywhere but the pinch hit I'm doing for a smut prompt is looking good xD

Tagging, if you want to do it, @linnea-ancalime @lavendelhummel @itsfortheplants @cllrnat @viharistenno @operasnail @purlturtle @genius2mania & don't worry about doing it at a later date if you don't have an active writing wip rn (I advice drafting the post already tho, I know I always completely forget about tag memes if I don't do that)

Sophie's breath hitches, her hold on Tara tightens, then her hands fall from her and clench against the bedsheets when Tara's clever lips find her nipple, pulling aside the cup of her bra just far enough to suck, letting it snap back almost but not quite into place when she shifts her attention to the other side of her chest, the edge of it digging into the now wet and sensitive flesh.

For the fic writer asks, 6 and 17? :)

6. When do you title your fics? Before you write them? As you write them? While posting to AO3 and that “Work Title” field is staring at you? Honestly, titling fics is the bane of my existence. Think I've whined about that particular problem more than once in the past. Nearly 90% of the time I name them right as am about to post them to AO3. 😅

17. When you get a new fic idea, what does that look like in your mind? Does it play out like a film? Do you imagine lines of dialogue or a certain moment? Does a character just sit there staring at you? I think the closest answer to this is me imagining a certain scene and bits of dialogue.

If I write fics based on prompts (a sentence, a scene, emotion etc.) I usually start writing based on the vibe it gives me, which is then followed by before mentioned scenes.

But sometimes writing a new fic feels like stirring a puddle of mud and watching what kind of shapes form on the surface. 🤣

For the wips, The Real Treasure (Is the Medic We Met Along the Way)?

Thank you for the ask 💙 I already talked about this WIP here but lemme post a lil snippet of Kix's angsty prologue!!

The piece of tent tarp fell closed behind the commando droids with a wet sound, the kind perforated lungs made when they struggled to breathe. The first droid fixed Kix with a stare that dared him to make a run for it - for the blasters lying at an insurmountable distance at his back. “CT-6116,” it said, its voice a low drone barely heard over the rush of the wind outside. “We have been tasked with retrieving you. Know that resistance is useless.” Kix glanced over his shoulder as he edged his way backward, past the bed frame that had almost tripped him and into the narrow corridor between the cots. He could make a run for it. He could. He’d always been fast in training, had even had the option to become a scout, he’d just become a medic because that was what he excelled at. He could, if only— The commando droid tilted its head at him, eyes a uniform glow. As if obeying a silent command, its two companions at its back cocked their blasters and leveled them at the sleeping patients in the cots closest to them. Ice traveled down Kix’s spine and settled in his gut. “No.” His voice was a rasp, even to him. He wanted a glass of water. “No, you can’t. They’re- You’re not allowed to do that. It’s against the law of war-” “We are not here in a military capacity. We have been tasked with retrieving you - CT-6116, designated clone medic of the 501st Attack Battalion.” Now, the first commando droid hefted its blasters, just like its colleagues - except it wasn’t pointing it at helpless wounded, but at Kix. “And failure is not provided for in our programming.” Kix looked around himself. The tent, the cots, the troopers asleep in them - asleep or dying, but everyone died eventually - the drips hanging from their mountings, the patients’ stats scribbled onto flimsi clipboards at the foot ends of the cots with a pen that smudged… Kix wasn’t even gone yet, and it already felt so strange. So distant.

For the fanfic asks, O and P?

O: How do you begin a story - with the plot, or the characters?

Usually, just an idea, so I'd say plot. Like No Prison Can Hold started with the simple question "What if the New Republic arrived early and arrested Din too?" (and then the next questions, "What if Din and Grogu met the Skywalker-Solos?"). Characters just tend to be whatever my current blorbo obsession is tbh - although I guess you could say Grogu himself inspired ACCPOV, as I wondered what this little child was thinking and feeling and believing during the events of The Mandalorian.

P: Are you what George R.R. Martin would call an "architect" or a "gardener"? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)

I'd say I'm kinda in the middle. I rarely start without at least a basic outline, and fill in details as I think of them. For ACCPOV for example, I took notes as season 2 aired and added to them since as I expanded the character moments and arc I wanted for Grogu. I'm certainly willing to flex if I feel the story could go somewhere I didn't initially think of. I started working on that Caradin fic I keep mentioning at least a year ago and just last week thought of a better way to resolve the ending and provide Cara better resolution for what she goes through. And one time a commenter mentioned they were sad we never saw Grogu's necklace again in the show so I remembered to add it back in to ACCPOV. xD
