The year didn’t start out particularly great and I got hit by writer’s block 🙈 but I finally managed to get the newest chapter up. Hope it was worth the wait. https://archiveofourown.org/works/60695875/chapters/159863992

🎶🌅⛔️

Thank you so much for the ask.

Let’s see 🤗🤗

🎶 - I love listening to music while writing and I sometimes even create playlists for a particular pairing. I wouldn’t necessarily say that it influences what I‘m writing. It’s more that I choose the songs according to what mood I‘m going for in the fic.

🌅 - Do I typically know the ending? I‘d say I often do at least in vague terms. Sometimes I have the ending written out way before I have the rest of the fic (I tend to write out of sequence).

⛔️ - what do I try to avoid? Hmmm let’s see. I prefer to not veer into dubcon/noncon territory and I also avoid character bashing. If there’s a character I really do not like I prefer not writing them at all rather than portraying them in a negative light. Just because I don’t like them doesn’t mean there aren’t others who do.

Thank you so much for this ask! 💕💕💕

I just made my first exploration into a characters who have not (yet) met in canon-rareship and thought I’d share it here, though by the looks of it I’m probably the only person who ships these two. 😂

Anyways, here’s the Kotallo/Avad getting together fic nobody asked for. If anyone happens to read and like it, do let me know. ❤️

Relationship: Avad/Kotallo

Summary: After the fight against the Zeniths, Kotallo follows Sun-King Avad’s invitation to travel to Meiridan and attend a second embassy. The events take a dark turn, when Kotallo and Avad find themselves in the midst of another coup attempt.
