I’m rereading Defiance and Progress and it’s so good!! I think of this fic every time I eat peanut butter😅 I especially love how you write Scott. And everyone, but good Scott portrayals always make me extra happy!
Ah thank you so much!!! I do love Scott and always try to do right by him, so glad to hear I hit the mark!!
So I was reading through the comments of Longer by Far after finishing it, and you mention there that your original plan was for Jenny to be evil? That is so far from what she ended up being! What were your plans for her at the start? And what made you change your mind?
..... I had plans for Jenny to be evil????
I am so sorry, I cannot answer this ask. I have NO IDEA why or how I would make Jenny evil. I remember that in the show (maybe??) there was an evil Jenny, so some people were confused and thought my Jenny would be evil but honestly I think I just picked the wrong random name for my OC.
unless I had a plan??? but I don't think I had an evil Jenny plan.
ok ok so for dvd commentary I’m gonna ask for some d&p. “You’re probably taller than her now,” Stiles said. He was trying to be relaxed. Trying to feel happy, to let Scott have such an exciting day.” It’s probably more than 500 words but the whole rest of this chapter is probably my favorite thing you’ve ever written.
ah shit bro. i have nothing to say about this. i just went and re-read it and now im crying and DAMN I AM AN AMAZING WRITER. like for real. I am so good at this sometimes.
all i can tell you about the process is what i’ve mentioned before: with emotional scenes, i have to get there with the characters so all i remember about writing this is crying in my bedroom in my flat in London and vaguely hoping my roommate didn’t come in and ask questions. i can tell you it got written with pretty much zero editing in an afternoon. that’s all i remember.
Okay for the commentary I have to ask for that Sciles moment in D&P right before Stiles gets flogged starting with “T hey slowed as they reached the edge, Scott coming to a halt.”
Ah, goodness-- so as I’ve mentioned before, friendship is really, really important to me. and, paritcularly in D&P, the sciles friendship had to be SO important, equally as important as the sterek (while obviously different; and I think that’s what some people don’t understand, that friendship can be equal to romantic relationships while still being very different). This is also the first time I think i try to set up that, in that world, humans can be alphas and scott is an Alpha. I also wanted to make it super clear that a person can be happy while also still deeply committed to fighting for a cause: AKA throughout the story, Scott seemed happier than Stiles but was still just as committed to breaking free and hated werewolves just as much as Stiles did (especially in this moment). So... yeah that’s where that came from. Or at least, that’s what came out (tbh I don’t plan much ahead so some of these answers is me being like “well... as we see here, i planned this ever so perfectly”... even though in reality, nothing was planned at all).
I’m not sure at what point I’m supposed to cut off talking: but I should also mention that Stiles’ reactions to actually being whipped come largely from the fact that when Passion of the Christ came out, my mom wouldn’t go see it because of the violence but she is a Catholic woman so she watched a lot of the interviews with the guy that played Jesus, Jim Caviezel (it also helped that he was “nice to look at” as she put it). So one day, we were hanging out and I saw an interview where he was describing that when they were doing the whipping scene, they had a board that the other actor was supposed to hit (obviously to avoid hitting Caviezel) but on like the first take, it was too small. So the guy missed. And Caviezel basically described the pain as this stingy, firey heat that actually made it impossible for him to communicate to the crew that something was wrong (they all thought the blood was just the props, ya know). So actually, the guy hit him again and then Caviezel said that he still couldn’t talk so he just ripped his hands free of the set chains (skinning them in the process) and thats when the crew finally figured out something was wrong. So that description is basically what I went on in terms of Stiles’ reactions. (I could be remembering this wrong or it could all be a lie but I figured it was better than any other info I could find without subjecting myself to truly horrific google searches).
(also, I’m not one for watching the movie passion of the christ, but man the bts stuff coming out of that film are horrifying. jim caviezel actually went through like A Lot when filming this film. )
ANYWAY, thanks for the ask!
How would Turning Tide be different if Stiles' dad hadn't died? Or if he turned up super not-dead in part 3?
I wrote something on this once.... let me see if I can find it...
Here you go!
would you ever write a fic about Scott and stiles as kids set before d&p
Hmm-- tbh I’ve never thought about it! Probably not -- just because none have ever bounced around in my brain and that world is pretty much complete for me right now! Other things to work on!
Thanks though! The interest is flattering!
would you ever write one-shots in the d&p verse of like missing scenes or before the story starts or between d&p and lbf? like if we asked really nicely?? :D
Like I know & totally respect that you don't want to continue the verse in pieces and don't have time for another installment but I'd die for more d&p Scott-and-Stiles in my life.
Haha- thank you for the enthusiasm! Asking nicely is usually a surefire way to get me to do something, but alas-- I don’t see how I could do little bits and pieces in that particular verse! If at any point I have an actual small idea, I shan’t hesitate to post it! :)
I've always been curious because I don't think you ever told us -- in ATT, what are the burn marks on Stiles' ribs from?
oh i never specified. just vague horrific angst. i mean really i have more details than that in my head but let’s just leave it at it was bad. and it was matt. there’s nothing about it that is particularly pertinent to the story as a whole or furthered it in any significant way!
(also sorry you sent this so long ago-i went to answer and then just like completely forgot. I am the WORST about that.)
