childhood-friends-to-lovers trope but instead of “i was there for all of your earliest hurts therefore i know exactly how to be there for you now” it’s “i was there for all of your earliest hurts therefore i know exactly where to press to do the most damage now”

like, unless the characters are picking at each other’s every wound and annoying the shit out of each other by doing things like leaving an empty glass on the counter two inches from the sink just because they know how much their best friend hates it WHY DONT YOU JUST PUST IT IN THE SINK OR BETTER YET THE DISHWASHER IS RIGHT THERE HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS i’m not interested.

the empty intimacy of knowing someone’s past is out. the lived-in intimacy of wanting to strangle the person you’re in love with like only a best friend could is in.

What I’m Writing

aka What I Should Be Writing or What I Wish I Was Writing

the lovely @polaroidgirlfriend tagged me and because I’ve had writer’s block for what feels like an eternity, I went through my google docs/WIPs to find that I have so many things that I still WANT to write and decided to post a list for this meme. all of these things are partly written or at least outlined. so hey, if you see anything on this list you’d like me to write, feel free to come and yell at me to write it. be my cheerleader, hold my hand, or whatever (:

TL;DR

MCU/Avengers

ESOTSM AU: Pretty much fic based on the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Bucky erases Steve from his memories after a break-up and upon finding out, Steve decides to do the same and erase Bucky from his memories. BUT THEN, afterwards, they meet again and fall in love AGAIN and things are super SAD and tragic but also nice and sweet and basically this is gonna break your heart but hopefully also gonna put it back together.

Epic Slow Burn Rock Band AU Of My Dreams: so this is tour fic revolving around Bucky and him dealing with the loss of his arm & also falling in love~ with Steve. Gosh, I suck at summarising stories. Bucky is the lead singer of rock band SHIELD (Clint on guitar, Natasha on drums, Thor on bass; Wanda additional guitarist for the tour) who are going on a huge tour for the first time since he lost his arm in an accident. Their support act is Steve Rogers, former pop sensation, now a singer/songwriter. There’s also other people like Sam Wilson who is their tour manager and BASICALLY this is about rock star Bucky Struggling and Steve helping him Recover and shit. It’s about LOVE. It’s about MUSIC. Writing songs together. Performing songs together. Lap dances in hotel rooms. JUST. If this wasn’t clear already, it’s Steve/Bucky, but also features Clint/Natasha/Wanda because why not.

MFEO AU. Originally inspired by an ad that said “What if seeing each other again would change everything?” So, basically, this story starts with (teacher) Niall - who’s currently (still) in a relationship with (DJ/record store owner) Nick - accidentally and unexpectedly running into (famous actor) (ex boyfriend) Harry after they haven’t seen each other in YEARS. It is about how this one encounter turns Niall’s whole life upside down. There’s just lots of feelings and working through them, it’s a story about relationships ending and new beginnings, about people changing and uh, of course about TRU LUV. Adele-Hello.mp3 or whatever. My summary doesn’t even do it justice. I’ll be over here cryin’ about how these two people were made for each other. 

A sequel to Handwritten, a Narry Uni AU that I wrote like 3 years ago. This ‘verse is still on my mind a lot and I can’t seem to let it go. I’ve got bits and pieces written, some sort of deleted/bonus scenes from Niall’s POV set in the timeline of the original story; I’ve got two sequels planned out (the one that is set like a year after is p much mapped out already, and one that is set a few more years in the future is like, roughly planned out). I said once the fic reaches like 400 kudos I’ll make myself finish a sequel, and it’s reached 400+ now so I…. should….. really…. be …. writing and posting this. *flees*

Ace!Niall NYC verse: uni au; basically a fic about Niall learning about/dealing with his asexuality and becoming friends with the other guys, falling in love, idk, just a self discovery fic really??? Writing this was meant to be cathartic, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever publish it even if I end up writing it, but. I’d like to.

Recording Studio AU of my heart with slow burn Niall and cg!Harry. The most self-indulgent thing ever: I cast the guys of McFly in this to work in a recording studio with Niall (who’s a sound engineer) and made cg!Harry, cg!Louis and cg!Zayn be in a rock band a la HAIM; there’s just lots of cute stuff, PINING, sharing beds, UST, just all of my favourite things and tropes packed into one epic slow build friends to lovers story. There’s also members of the LIC in this. This is so old but I love it a lot, I dedicated a whole inspo blog to it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Teen Wolf

Stiles/Derek domestic fluffy future fic! This story is about preschool teacher Stiles moving back to Beacon Hills (before he turns 30), becoming Derek’s neighbour, about adjusting to his life back in Beacon Hills. About realising what he wants in life (which is settling down). About him and Derek becoming friends, doing lots of cute domestic things together so they end up accidentally~ dating. There’s also background Scott/Isaac just because!!!!

Bastille

Uni AU: A thing that was inspired by a dumb pic of Kyle and Charlie at a pub or whatever, that was originally gonna be Dan/Kyle but then slowly turned into Dan having an unrequited crush on Kyle, and falling in love w Charlie along the way. Don’t ask me how this happened, I DON’T KNOW. This is basically about Dan realising he likes BOYS and then realising he’s not in love with Kyle but with Charlie and IDK lots of cute things and going from friends with benefits to lovers. Don’t judge me, I’m a sucker for slow build uni aus. ok.

Tour fic: just a good old SECRETLY DATING while being on tour fic. Secretly dating! Sneaking around! Tour fic! (I miss tour fic. Bandom and 1D was so good to me, why does 90% of Bastille fandom hate fic, lol.)

HELP ME OVERCOME WRITER’S BLOCK

Anyway that’s it. NO PRESSURE but I tag @sleepymouses @bleep0bleep @nialljames @foxesmouth @fauvistfly @moonwasours @moondoggiestyle (in case you wanna do it). (also. if you’re a writer and wanna do this and I didn’t tag you, consider yourself tagged as well)

tfw you finally find that good fic you’ve been yearning for forever, the kind that makes you feel things, the kind that makes you stop and re-read passages because you don’t want it to stop it’s so good

[favetropes]

i'm so glad you left me that feedback so long ago!!! love you bb. x

me too bc otherwise we wouldn’t be friends today! loveeeee you

the good old livejournal days. I remember when I really loved a fic I used to read each and every comment left on it too to see what others thought of it and I was also curious what the authors had to say. Like sometimes they gave even more insight to the piece they wrote in their comments. And I still do that and it’s one of the best things. (Sometimes I wish it was still like it used to be because so much has changed with ao3 and the kudos option and there are lesser comments to go through.) But whenever I see people flailing in the comments section it warms my heart and I nod to myself and whisper CHEWIE WE’RE HOME.

it’s just SO NICE to receive feedback on your writing when you least ~expect it, like. when you’re doubting yourself or having a super hard time getting over a damn writer’s block or when you feel like your muse has left you or even when you’re dealing with something else and then you receive a lovely comment on something you once wrote and it has the power to make you feel great about yourself, and your abilities, and you just feel so happy in that moment? the fact that you were able to give something to people they enjoyed, it’s so rewarding.
