#cait asks

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 💐🎉💐🎉 So happy for you!!!

hi cait! thank you so much! i’m so excited! not only is it one step closer to my dream but they’re also super flexible so i can work while the kid’s in school and not have to pay for childcare!

[jabbotmohan]

Can I tell you my (personally) illogical fear? I'm terrified of icebergs. They just freak me out so much. I can appreciate how beautiful they look, but as a concept, and the idea of actually being near one, just freaks me out, and I have no idea why. So. That's what I'm afraid of 😂

i love this! it’s so wonderfully irrational!

although i’m curious to know if this fear came about before or after watching “titanic”?

tell me your story!

[jabbotmohan]

Hey! Can I please get 2, 3, and 13 for "Stay High?" Thank you!

thank you so much for the ask, cait!

2: What scene did you first put down?

for this one i absolutely started at the very beginning. as soon as my friend told me the idea, i knew how i wanted it to start and i really like how it opened and where it went from there. it was my first fic in about 15 years and it was an amazing feeling to realize i could still write.

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

i couldn’t choose between:

Emma totters a bit on the ladder, trying to regain her balance. Mouth pressed into a tight line, Bucky grabs her by the waist and sets her gently on the floor.

or

A rude beam of sunlight slants across her closed eyes and she furrows her brow, pouts a little, as she rolls over.

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

i listened to my specially made stay high playlist. it’s heavily informed by what was in my spotify rotation at the time and that fit the vibe

send me an ask about my fics

[deandoesthingstome]

🎧 shuffle me in pls

Cait! It's been so long, but you know me: I'm always down to chat about music.

And you, my friend, are also getting two, 'cuz I saw you liked the only other ask I got on this one. Mwah!

Low - Chet Faker

I think you know this song already, but that's what happens when you find a song that fits your fantasy man so well and you stick it on a million playlists. First seen on Night Moves, the song now sits on an abandoned playlist for an abandoned fic idea called, ironically, Never Let Me Go. I miss you, Walter.

Look, whatever, I'm good

It doesn't mean that I'm perfect

Still I gotta find purpose

In whatever I've done

Hallelujah - Haim

I love these ladies and this song so much. I put it on my Lost Hippie Love soundtrack, created when I was deep in my TLK/Finan lust phase. ( @itbmojojoejo I don't know if you've made it back to that Finan x Reader x Sihtric series I rec'd way back when, but this song started it all!)

I met two angels, but they were in disguise

Took one look to realize

Tell 'em anything and they will sympathize

These arms hold me tight

Send me a 🎧 and I'll shuffle you in!

[deandoesthingstome]

Send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome.

(Oh and yes of course I was jammin’ to the fic playlist. how did I forget to praise it in my reblog?! I now have a mighty need to order some bell bottoms then relisten / reread 🕺 🪩)

Cait, you can just count this as my send back (since I already sent it) and proof you are pretty awesome!

And I’m so glad you loved the soundtrack. I think I spent as much time on it as the story itself 😅

[deandoesthingstome]

I’ve said thank you before but imma say it again:

I am having the hottest hot girl summer soundtrack bc of you introducing me to Cannons.

And I also hope you are having the best summer and not working too hard 💕

Cait!!!

You have said it before and I'm so happy it's still true.

Know what's hard? Knowing that I want to put that Cannons song on every fic playlist I make.

Yeah, life's still a little hectic. I finished YTT May 21st and I'm still trying to decide what, if anything, I want to do with all that knowledge I paid for. Lol.

Work has settled back into a steady pattern of "never know what to expect." My stomach isn't doing flip-flops everyday while I reconsider if I made the right choice, so that's a plus!

AND (not that you asked, but I'm gonna spill anyway), I have made some decent progress on Ch 5 of Walk with Me and I'm hoping to publish it next week! Yahoo!!!

(For those of you new to the story, that means you still have time to catch up before shit goes down!)

And yeah, I've probably listened to this song a million times while contemplating the next moves of Frankie, Sy, and August. (We'll see what Spotify says about it later this year, right?)

[deandoesthingstome]

Alright listen up: Hall Pass is fkn adorable so far.

The bad news: I have a raging concussion (from doing horse girl things, coincidentally) and did my best to read this with sunglasses on from my little blanket black out fort. I’m vibing w/ reader over the whole walking clumsy disaster vibe. Bc same.

The good news: I get to re read this when I’m a functioning human and it’ll be like reading it for the first time all over again 🤠 I love that for me.

Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I'm so glad you think so! I won't lie: I kinda had more fun building the world and thinking about them just being goofy together than I did figuring out how to get him in her pants...though that WILL happen.

I'm so sorry about your head! Rest up, take it easy, get better!

I hope you get to enjoy the whole thing with a clear head soon!

Thank you again for your help and support.
