2017 creator tag: favorite own works
Tagged by the wonderful @bleucommelhiver <3 I suppose it is a good idea to take a step back, crawl out of my spiral, and give myself a kind time to reflect on the good stuff lmao
Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favorite works you’ve created this year (fics, art, edits, etc!) and link them below (say why if you want) to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2017. Tag as many writers/artists/etc as you want (fan or original!) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works. <3
A Little Braver (No Pairing / Gladiolus Amicitia / SFW) | Summary: With strange dreams haunting him every night, Gladio finds himself chasing a ghost of a childhood memory as he comes into terms with his own personal feelings. | This was the very first piece I’ve ever had the courage to share here. It was written purely straight out of my own personal grief when I lost my granny last year, and I thought of channeling all that and translate it into this fanfic. Anyway, this also marks my first attempt to just take Gladio’s massive potential as a character and develop it in my own language, I guess. Haha
The Games That Play Us (Noctis x Reader / SFW) | Summary: You knew from the very beginning that being with Noctis is painfully similar to trying to play a game you can never get to win. | Out of the collection of stories I wrote in You and Me an The Bottle Makes Three, this Noctis piece was the closest one to my heart because, um, well. When the world breaks your heart, write a fanfic out of your feelings.
Thermodynamics (Cor Leonis x OC / NSFW-ish?) | Summary: A 33-year-old Cor braves the enemy territory of Niflheim and finds help from an unlikely ally. As they attempt to set aside their differences and the growing tension between them, they soon learn that just like the laws of energies that govern the universe, some feelings only transform into something else. | A mini multi-fic that is closely tied to the one I’m doing now, which is Laws of Motion. I’m particularly proud of this one because writing Cor is tricky enough as it is, but writing Cor in first person POV is equally enjoyable and exhausting. Like, I guess I had tons of fun in carving his character based from the little details and what we know about him in-game, so.
Cleanse (Noctis x Reader / NSFW) | Summary: Noctis miraculously survives his sacrifice and brings the light back to Eos. But will he also survive in his efforts to make his amends over a mistake he committed ten years ago? | So, among the NSFW one-shot stories in Something Spaces, this is a close tie with Respite because of course, it’s Gladio, lmao. BUT THE ENDING OF THIS ONE?? IS SPECIAL??? BECAUSE IT IS BASED FROM AN ACTUAL THING THAT HAPPENED TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE HUMANS IN MY LIFE?? So yes.
Remember Me As A Time of Day (No Pairing / Nyx Ulric / SFW) | Summary: It’s Nyx’s first day in the battlefield, and all his mind could ever do in the middle of the rampaging daemons is to replay significant moments of his life in painful technicolor. | This is one of my entries for @glaiveweek, alongside this happy one I did for Crowe. I’ve always wanted to write Nyx’s backstory so this happened. I cannot stress enough how I have a truckload of story ideas for Nyx and the rest of the Kingsglaive crew, and the potential of world building in Galahd that this piece, although I’m happy that I wrote this, still compels me to write hnggg more.
Um, so just quickly tagging some folks at the top of my mind whose works I have thoroughly enjoyed last year (and helped me get through some trying times, too, tbh) @eternallydaydreaming2015 @saphscribes @nifwrites @themissimmortal @cupnoodle-queen @hypaalicious @louisvuittontrashbags @courtingdestruction
