Uhhh so amid all the hype surrounding Jack Marston x OC content, at the moment, I'm gonna be cringe.

Here's my two favourite little goobers from I Don't Give (a Fistful of Ashes), aka my Jack Marston-centric thing I never shut up about that I wrote because I wish RDR did more with the 1914 setting

Nobody be mean to them, they're my babies. NEITHER of them have big roles in the fic yet (Soph has showed up in exactly two chapters and Preachery in one) but I love them dearly and I care for them an insane amount. There are going to be many OCs in this fic, once I finally get into a rhythm (I write at a snails pace) it's probably gonna be quite long and I like giving Jack people to talk to.

The OCs in this fic SO FAR basically are stranger missions where Depressed Ass Jack ends up encountering someone, has a conversation with 'em, might do something with them, and then goes about his day. They'll become more important later.

More of these little profiles to come. They're fun to make.

Here's some unfinished doodles I did of my british bookseller daughter too. If you are mean to her you will go to hell /lh

Promoting my current Peter Pan WIP!

❁✦ Flowers From a Faraway Island ❁✦

Working book cover, not final so please no criticism because its subject to change!! This will probably be on AO3 and not actually physically published save for some posterity copies for close friends, but I’d like to share it anywho.

If you’re interested in a Peter Pan continuation with medium/low fantasy, an early 1920s vibe, historical references, magic vs modernity, some OCs, a dual narrative that switches between grown-up Wendy and her daughter Jane, family dynamics and drama, plus a dark take on what would happen to Neverland if the children stopped believing, maybe this is for you!

(This is not Evil Peter!!! Peter is treated neutrally!!)

London, 1919. The Neverland is out looking for you, but grown-ups can’t fly.

It’s been such a long time since the adventure.

The Lost Boys are all married men, who fought wars instead of pirates.

Wendy Darling is a real mother, with a moody daughter who longs for a change of scenery.

Children don’t believe in fairies all too much anymore.

Peter Pan is lonely, and things are changing in Neverland, so he decides to pay his former friends a visit. Taking Wendy’s daughter Jane and her cousin to see what the island has now become, it becomes clear that no one can escape their childhoods, no matter how long ago.

This is a complete reboot of a series I started when I was younger (SMQ) so if the plot sounds familiar that’s why. This is NOT SMQ and has little to nothing in common with the old SMQ stories.

Not affiliated with GOSH or Barrie and I am not making any money on this as of right now.

Also keep your eyes out for some character and OC bios on this blog, and feel free to send asks my way.

Sometimes, Jack likes to stare as the embers from the campfire spark proud up into the night, bright and full of promise. Sure, they’re always doomed to fizzle out into ash onto the ground and die, but for one quick moment, in the dark, they glow.

(or, Jack Marston, 1914, in the months following Remember My Family)

Never defeating the Jack Blog allegations. I’ve been writing about him for a hot while now and I’m proud-ish of this atm lmao

What even is this??? Uhhh,,,, 1914 Jack Marston coming-of-age thingy in which he gets back in touch with his former uncles and aunts and maybe even makes some new friends and somewhere he learns maybe he isn't too far gone and maybe he is worthy of love. Damn you Rockstar, I want him to heal. I want him to smile at least once!!!

I think I deserve compensation for the amount of pointless research on Lancelot myths I did just to accurately write Jack getting a hyperfixation in later chapters 👍 My head hurts from the amount of of pointless shit i read. The plan for this fic has filled up a whole fucking notebook. What am I doing. I will go back to writing my actual book eventually I swear, this is just a stranger mission sidequest for me lmao

Chapter 4 of the Jack fic at long last.

Sorry this took so fucking LONG it was a bitch to write, I’ll fall into a rhythm… soon, I hope. At least lmao. Chapter 5 is more or less done too (I planned on dropping them together but like… it was STRESSING ME OUT to do so) so expect that soon!

Enjoy:

The Jack Marston Fic gets another update. This one ended up like... way way shorter than I planned because basically I decided halfway through writing it to split it in half, and to make the second half the opening of chapter 6 which is yet to be published.

This one's decently depressing. Jack just writes himself, doesn't he? Sorry for the wait, again! I'll start updating this thing frequently, I promise! Honestly, I'm not really the biggest fan of this chapter, but I very much love this fic and this little narrative, slow as it is with updates

Too lazy to do so right now but if I posted about Sophie The British Bookseller™️ and That Soldier Private Preachery™️ and possibly other OCs from The Jack Fic someday this week would that be awesome and cool? Because I was waiting to have them become main characters in the fic before I posted abt them but I have discovered I write that thing at a snail's pace.

But as I noted in a previous post of mine, Jack Marston x OC content is really taking off at the moment, and I love it as a concept so much. so I was thinking of sharing my little guys from that fic, even though it is taking me a million zillion years to introduce the fuckers. I care about them!
