👻 ghost: can you tease some wip ideas that have been haunting you/something you want to write in the future?
y'know i don't have too many new wips from when i last did the wip ask game, BUT i do have this one idea that always haunts me around the halloween season.
a few years ago, i came up with the idea of doing a sort of practical magic inspired fic, where reader is a witch who lives in a house on the cliffs of her small new england town and she's not well-liked by the townspeople but she does try to be normal and has a shop like sally does in the movie.
and Steve is a local farmer who didn't grow up in the town and doesn't believe in the stories that you're a witch. he came to town to help his sister and her husband run their farm while she's pregnant.
and one day Steve shows up at your back door asking for some kind of herbal remedy to help his sister with nausea or whatever. he scuffs the back of his neck with his big hand, and says he's heard the rumors about you in town and while he doesn't know about all that, the guy at the drug store said you were the only one who might have the specific combination of herbs that his sister wanted.
you smile at Steve, who's charming and cute and doesn't have any of the fear in his eyes that you're used to seeing in those of your neighbors, and you tell him you can help. you usher him in and lead him into the greenhouse off your kitchen, and he takes it all in with an admiring eye.
he asks you if you know about what they say about you in town and you nod, telling him you do. he proceeds to ask anyway—do you know they say you jump off your roof on halloween? do you know the chant the children yell about you? do you know everyone says you're cursed, so any man who falls in love with you will die?
you laugh caustically at the last one, muttering something about never falling in love. there's a story there. in the quiet of your greenhouse, Steve hears you and he falls silent. you ignore his silence and pack up his herbs and send him on his way.
after that, Steve makes a habit of coming by—first for the herbs when he needs a refill, then to fix the cabinet below the sink that he noticed was crooked, then the cracked window in the attic that you hadn't even noticed (but it would explain the draft that you'd assumed was just because the house was old).
each time, he brings you some baked goods from his sister or produce from the farm. and each time your just a little bit happier to see him...
anyway. that's as far as i've gotten. looking back at the notes i wrote, apparently there's also something about reader refusing to make a love spell for one of the townswomen to make Steve fall in love with her and she and her friends throw tomatoes at reader's house and Steve comes over to clean them up, not even knowing why they'd thrown the tomatoes in the first place.
and Steve somehow breaks the curse on reader that anyone who loves her will die. or it's not real?? idk i think about the practical magic vibes a lot but i'm still struggling with the plot stuff. also it feels like the kind of thing that's a lot longer than a one-shot so that's intimidating 🤷🏼♀️
anyway, thanks again for the ask, Elle!!! and to anyone who read all my ramblings 😁
Send this to eight other blogs that you value, make someone smile ☆
Always happy to make someone smile, Elle! Sending love as well to @thezombieprostitute @startcarvingdarling @americasass81 @whatever-lmaoo @sweater-daddiesdumbdork @v-wie-was @laurfilijames @spaghettificationandpretzels and anyone seeing this. ❤️
🍇 Is there a particular scene/episode/book/etc that you want to just write a million fics about, over and over? Which one?
I guess, a lot of my fics aren’t really based off specific scenes, but if we’re going on content, I really wanna write Jake forever. Specifically, giving him the opportunity to be loved and find a girl who’s actually interested in him bc I think the movie did him dirty. They paint him as such a goof and comedic relief, but he has so much to offer!! I know @thezombieprostitute agrees with me on this😂 Jake deserves more love!! His romantic life should be painted realistically, no one gives him enough credit.
Hey hi. I’ve just reblogging the crap out of your entire blog. It’s been at least two days, I think, of me staying on your page and just, I felt the need to say hello instead of lurking in the shadows. Thank you for all of the Mark Hamill, Sebby Stan, and adorableness. I give you all the cute hugs and ♥️ I can muster.
Hello!
You're so sweet! Thank you for your kind words! Wishing you a lovely day and a fantastic weekend! :') ❤
Helloo. My name is Elle. Nonbinary. They/She. I’m pretty much everywhere as @ellethespaceunicorn so yeah. I love fanfiction and wrote some as well on AO3 as LokiandBaneGal(I still have a thing for the Lokester and Baneypoo and refuse to change my name on there).
I’m into gaming, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Currently playing House Party, Doki Doki Literature Club, Animal Crossing, and The Witcher 3:The Wild Hunt.
I haven’t been on tumblr in so long, I used to have an everything blog. But I’m actually back to get more Witcher fandom nonsense. I love Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer, Cirilla, Vesemir, Eskel, Lambert, Triss, and even Roach. I’m obsessed with the Netflix series, starting to read the books, and I’m currently playing The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. I also love Geraskier, Geralt x reader, and Jaskier x reader. Give me your pr0n.
I literally don’t know what else to say in this intro post. Hopefully I will have Witcher fanfiction out soon.
