Fictober 2019 coming to an end

I reblogged about 4000 posts so far for this year. The queue had a post every 5 minutes at some point, and slowed down to one post every 17 minutes. The queue ran out three times because things happen but we all lived, right?

Don’t worry if you’re still working on the prompts, I will be reblogging posts I find in the tag all through November. 

If you posted in the tag #fictober19 and I haven’t reblogged it yet, this barely functional website failed to show it to me. You’ll have to message me the link to your post over the tumblr messaging thingy, then I can reblog it.

I’m so proud of what you all did! There was so much creativity, so many great stories, fandoms I never even knew about, it was wonderful!

A special giant THANK YOU to the people who donated ko-fi coffees, you made my day!

You all did spectacularly!

There will be another fictober next year on this blog but if you’re looking for a new event, I will be holding a new WIP-Project at @the-wip-project​​​ in January, for all our resolutions in the new year. I hope I’ll see you all there!

A little something for Fictober 19 Day 2 - “Just follow me, I know the area” (Inktober prompt “Mindless”)

“Just follow me, I know the area,” David says, and Matteo follows him, first on his bike, then climbing over the wall and finding a way into the abandoned building and then, finally, crawling into the empty pool. 

David looks at him and dares him to hold his breath, and Matteo takes the dare. Of course, he does. 

David has sort of taken him over lately, and it’s like Matteo’s been reprogrammed and overridden. It’s as if all his previous interests have been deleted and replaced with the image of David’s face and the sound of his voice. It’s been like that for a little while now. He's awful at school, his teacher has to tell him everything three times and he gets half his usual volume done. He forgets to shower, and forgets to plan what to wear or which bus to take. He procrastinates, daydreams, projects fantastical futures of the two of them. They are heroes, they are vampires or aliens, they are runaway lovers, they are backpackers stowed away on a ship...

And now… They both stare at each other and hold their breath, and time stretches between them.

Stops. 

David’s eyes are dark brown pools drawing him in and Matteo’s mouth is dry, saliva turned to glue. The only thing Matteo wants, is David. 

David moves closer, and Matteo’s brain shuts right down. 

Then, David kisses Matteo. 

It’s quick, and light; it’s a game, followed by a laugh, but it means so much more and Matteo knows it. Matteo kisses David back. And David’s mouth is cold on the outside and warm on the inside and he tastes sweet and warm and Matteo feels like he’s drowning in the kiss. 

They’re interrupted by a man and a dog, but it doesn’t really matter, because they’re young, and here, and now, and it’s all so thrilling and new, and they get away. They run outside, teasing each other, breathing and laughing, and in that moment, everything is possible, and everything is light and easy. 

Matteo has heard people say they feel like they’re walking on air, and now he knows how it feels.

They find their way to Matteo’s room, and into his bed. There, they hold each other tight and kiss, talk and laugh even more. David’s eyes are so curious, soft, and smiling and they draw Matteo in even closer. Their cuddles are warm, cozy and Matteo wishes he could extend it all just so they could stay close like this longer. David’s warm body is moulded to Matteo’s, sharing his body heat and a part of his heart. David brings a peace Matteo’s never really known before. 

Of course, Matteo knows it’s all just for now. He hopes for a lot more, but he knows that they haven’t really talked about anything. About what this is, or what happens next. 

David whispers about how he doesn’t mind being alone, and it suddenly hits Matteo that David has disappeared before, and that he might do so again. Still, Matteo doesn’t want to think about it. Not yet. He wants to stay in this mindless bubble for a little while longer. For now, he’s happy with following David. Later, he might want to ask David to follow him. He might want to ask David to stay.

He doesn’t say any of this to David, but he wonders if David picks it up, anyway. David hugs him with gentle arms that still give the space to breathe, still gives time to stay in this moment. Matteo sighs as they kiss again and again and the tender touches they share make the room around them disappear. There isn’t anything else in the world except the burning flame between them.

FICTOBER DAY 2 - BLANKETS

Blankets - Bang Chan x Reader

Pairing: SKZ Chan x Reader

Genre: I don’t even know myfelf but kinda fluff ???

Warnings: None

A/N: My lazy ass couldn’t do it earlier, but it’s still 9:30 p.m so it’s still October 2nd in my time zone so :P Also it’s technically Chan’s birthday already, that’s why I decided to make this a Chan scenario, not that he’s the love of my life or anything... ANYWAY enjoy it!!

You woke up to the loud sound of the rain hitting your windows. The clock stroke 4 a.m and Chan was nowhere to be seen. You began to worry about him, because he was most probably still working hard. You wondered if he had had anything for dinner or if he had even taken any rests from producing. Of course, the answer would be no. He tended to push himself too hard, to the point of not taking enough care of his health. You were too focused in your thoughts when you suddenly noticed a noise coming from the balcony. At first you didn't want to pay much attention to it, thinking it would probably be just a cat or something since you lived in the first floor. After a while you clearly heard the glass door opening slowly and then being closed again. You could hear light steps in the distance and you panicked. Your phone wasn't in the room and you couldn't think of a way to escape, so you hid under the blankets and hoped for the best. Your breathing was heavy but you tried to calm down so the person who broke in wouldn't hear you. You didn't even care if they took your things or all the money, you just didn't want them to notice you were there and awake. Your fear took the best of you and you gripped tight onto the blankets, closing your eyes and listening carefully to the steps, which sounded closer than before. Then you heard the door being opened, again, slowly. You started to get drenched in sweat and tears fell from your eyes, still closed. Suddenly you felt a hand slip under the covers, touching your leg and screamed.

- Oh my god.- Chan said, visibly startled by your sudden reaction.- I thought you were asleep.

- Why did you come through the balcony!?- you asked, confused and with your heart stil racing.

- I forgot my keys and I didn't want to wake you up.- he explained.- What were you doing?

- You scared me... I thought someone broke in.- you answered, almost crying again.

- And you hid under the blanket? Is that supposed to prottect you from a thief?- he joked.

- That's not funny, I was really scared.- you said, hitting his arm.

- Ouch! Okay okay, I'm sorry...- he apologised, lying next to you.- Come here

Chan hugged you tight, your head resting on his chest and listening to his, now steady, heartbeat. Despite the sudden shock, it felt really nice to hug him. It was actually one of the best feelings in the world, so you decided to forgive him, just this once.

Prompt 2

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts

Rating: G

Tags: Terra/Aqua, fluff, tooth rotting fluff

Read on AO3

For the first time in a decade, the King and Queen announced that they would hold the Million Dreams Festival once more. Upon receiving their invitation, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus immediately packed their bags to attend. They did have lifetime passes after all, thanks to Ven.

Aqua was in no rush to explore the festival. They had all the time in the world to check everything out. Food, music, rides, and all that came with such a festive atmosphere. As the trio strolled down Main Street, she reminisced on the last time she was here and compared it today. The most glaring difference was having her boys by her side. All she remembered from the last time was the hurt she felt from their rift. Still, all of that was in the past now, and it was bright and shining new day with Terra and Ventus.

The latter nudged her in the side. “Why are you so quiet?” He teased. “Are you bored?” Ventus spun around and waved at all of the bright decorations around them.

Aqua laughed. “I’m just amazed at how this place changed over the years,” she pointed out.

Ven grinned, snapping photos of all the festival arrangements. “The King and Queen outdid themselves. It looks cooler than the last one.”

Terra grinned. “I’m excited to see the new tracks they put into the Royal Raceway. At least “Captain Dark” won’t be around to make a ruckus this time. Or was he actually Captain Justice?”

She laughed at the thought of Pete’s identity crisis during the last festival. Pete hadn’t been seen in a while; apparently last anyone had seen of him, he’d been hanging around Maleficent. Aqua didn’t mind his absence. She wanted nothing more than to enjoy this vacation.

“Pete is loony, but he does have a cool hideout,” she said.

Terra raised a brow. “What hideout? I explored nearly every inch of town!”

Ven interrupted before she could answer. “Look!” He waved a flyer. “The triplets need a taste tester for their new ice cream flavors! I’m going to check it out, if it’s okay with you.”

“Aw, do you need permission from your grown ups?” Terra teased with a ruffle of his hair. Scrooge McDuck did Ven no favors when he gave him the kiddie pass; Terra would always hold it over him.

Ven glared at him. “I was only being considerate. We are here together.”

Aqua intervened before Terra countered. “We are here to have fun. There’s plenty of time for us to spend in the next few days.” She waved him away. “Good luck with the ice cream flavors.”

He sped away as soon as he got the approval. Terra chuckled. “Off he goes leaving us geezers behind. What are we going to do without him Aqua?” He slung an arm around her shoulders.

“Well,” Aqua drew out anticipation with that one word. “We could always see if Pete’s hideout is around still.” She shrugged his arm off and grabbed his hand. “C’mon, I know the area!”

“Okay, okay!” He followed as she pulled him through the festival toward a manhole. “I still don’t see what the big deal is about a hideout.”

—

Aqua tried and failed to hold back her smirk when they arrived to their destination. It was still as colorful and loud as it had been a decade ago. The giant pinball mechanism glowed enticingly. Come! Jump on! It will be fun, it seemed to say. She wasn’t inclined to resist.

Terra whistled. “Okay this is kinda cool.” From his mouth, it was high praise. “Does the pinball machine actually work?”

She raised a blue eyebrow at him. “Do you want to try it out?”

“Only if you do.”

Aqua accepted the challenge and ran ahead to go up the stairs. He followed closely behind and caught her hand before she jumped onto the spring.

“Wait. Let’s do it together.” Terra took her other hand as well.

Aqua glanced up at him. His brown eyes gazed down at her solemnly. “Terra, are you alright?” she softly asked.

He took a small step closer, eliminating the space between them. “It’s just…We’ve been apart all these years, and even before, we weren’t on the best of terms. And I don’t want…” He trailed off, thinking of the right words to say. “Like you said. We’re here to have fun. We used to have fun when we were kids, right?”

Aqua thought back to their childhood, long before Ven came to live with them. She spent her days following Terra as he got them into various shenanigans around the Land of Departure. Back then there was no competition of mastery or even Keyblades. Aqua simply adored her time with Terra, and if she was honest with herself, he reciprocated that feeling.

She squeezed his hands tightly. “We truly did. But you know what’s great about being grown up?” She asked with a smirk.

He quirked his lip up. “What, Aqua?”

“There’s no one to stop us from playing on a life-sized pinball machine all day.” Aqua tugged him quickly onto the spring. She jumped; Terra tripped. They had a split second before the spring launched them into the air. In that split second, Aqua saw the biggest smile, a real one, on Terra’s face. As they glided through the air, hands clasped tightly together, Aqua couldn’t help but return the sentiment.

Later when they found Ven to watch fireworks, Aqua’s face was flushed and Terra’s hair mussed. If you asked them, they would swear that it was because of the pinball antics. Nothing else transpired that afternoon.

Nothing that Ven could know about his grownups, that is.

My fic WIPs (or fic ideas)

I haven’t been writing much lately, but it’s soon October and a lot of things are going on. So, here are some of my writing ideas:

1. I have several ideas for shorter ficlets or one-shots, maybe based on the fictober prompts. Maybe not. We’ll see what happens.

2. I’m joining the Druck gift exchange, and I hope to write something nice for that. What I’ll write will depend a lot on what the giftee accepts? I think? I’m not sure how these gift exchanges work. I know that the deadline is November 19th, though. That seems like an important thing to know.

3. I am working on an outline for a multi-chaptered fic where David and Matteo are rival artists (who fall in love - of course). One of them is a well-known artist that dabbles with engineering and inventions and the other is a brand new artist who makes breathtaking and rulebreaking contemporary art. Misunderstandings lead to rivalry, but they discover that they’re attracted to each other.

Yeah, that’s about it, I think. I just hope that Druck readers still are out there. You see, even if Druck is (seemingly) over, I can’t let go of it yet.

Prompt #29: - “I’m doing this for you.”

Fandom: Dragon Age

Rating: Teen+

Warnings: None

“I’m doing this for you.”

“I’m doing this for you. I’m doing this for us.” Cullen said, taking Alistair’s hand. “So we can be together.”

Alistair sniffled, but did not look away. “But, why?”

Cullen smiled and pulled him into a heated kiss. “Because you’re it for me. You are my everything. I don’t want to spend another day in a different city, I want to spend every night here in your arms and wake up the same.”

“You’re sure?” Alistair whispered. “I don’t want you to regret moving later.

“Oh, sweetheart.” Cullen pressed another kiss to Alistair’s forehead. “I could never regret loving you.”

For #Fictober19!

Should Beca really trust strange, naked girls who burts into her shower stall with no regard for boundaries? Only time will tell.
