3, 15, 22 for the fanfic asks!
from this list
favorite line/scene you wrote this year
okay, so this is incredibly difficult to choose because i posted a wide variety of things, but i promise not to dodge the question! i’m going to pick two lines because i can’t decide, and i realize now looking at these that i ignore grammatical rules and write run-on sentences constantly.
“give me a bad boy david whose purposefully loud and in your face and mean who still falls in love with a quiet and laid back and gremlin matteo anyways, who still waits patiently for him to fill the silence because he knows this sweet boy doesn’t get the room to talk, who can get mad as fast as a monsoon rolling through but seeing matteo smile melts the grey clouds right out the sky and let’s the sun shine through.“
“he didn’t know that when your every waking thought was centered around someone half a city away that everything became a little bit harder, your feet become a little heavier, your lungs a little tighter, your mind a little slower, until the person clutching onto the other half of your heart comes back into the scene and let’s you borrow it for a few minutes, let your heart beat as a whole for a moment, just to take it back with them when they leave. matteo’s never been in love before, but after meeting david, he can see the appeal of it.“
and scene is probably this whole little fic i did for my take on the “man of my dreams” scene from og because the flower imagery and the sweetness to it was just a lot of fun for me
something you learned this year
i feel like i could write a whole long thing about this because i’ve learned quite a bit in the last year, about writing, about being in a fandom, about making friends, about myself, more than i probably can ever really put into words. but to keep it short, i guess, one important thing that i learned, or re-learned in a way, is that you shouldn’t force anything. and i mean that with storylines, and relationships, and emotions, and passions, and grief, and everything in between.
events you participated in this year
i think the only fanfic event i did was the druck gift exchange, which was absolutely lovely and a lot of fun to be a part of (shout out again to you for the wonderful fic that people can find here if they haven’t read it already), but i also feel like druck in general was a whole event tbh
