For the ask game! 👱

hi flora! thank you for the ask!

🧑 favourite character to write

probably Erik, although that’s probably a sentiment many phic writers share. there’s so many interpretations of him to play with, his backstory is so intriguing and fun to add to and explore, and he’s just such a complicated character. his emotions are complex, his relationships and how he interacts with others, his physicality and how he moves, his talents, etc. he’s just so interesting to work with!

thank you again! ❤️

For the WIP game — “together” 👉👈

Thank you for the ask Flora! Here it is - in dialog :)

You guys like feelings, right? Then PREPARE TO HAVE SOME.

Please do yourself a favor and read this little slice of beauty from Aldebaran. It is partly inspired by my story The Better Man, though you absolutely don’t need to be following that to read this one-shot, nor would it spoil much of anything, if you were planning on it. Also, even if you actively dislike that story, you might still like this one! It stands alone as a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between Erik and Nadir, and is everything I would want to write for them myself...if I wasn’t so busy focusing on Raoul and Erik and their thisclose to literal dick-measuring contests. 😌 Thank you for writing this, Aldebaran! I couldn’t love it more. ♥️♥️♥️

For 30 Favorites: 14, 15, & 21!

thanks @flora-gray! Okay, interesting choices!

14 - aspect of a person’s face: Okay this sounds weird because there are so many (eyes? lips??) but actually I think my answer is eyebrows. A well-defined brow can transform an entire face. 

5 - decade before the 2020s: Hmm also interesting. I’d have to say the 2010s, even if that’s lame. It’s when I went through the most substantial changes in my life and most of those were for the better. It’s when I made the best friends in my life, (adopted all my cats), and met my spouse.

21 -ending in fictional media: Okay I don’t know if this is controversial so I guess it’s good I’m not in that fandom but the ending of the FIFTH season of Supernatural. That entire episode, all of it, every single thing, was perfect and even if there were gems in later seasons (which there were), the season finale of five (which was supposed to be the end), to me, just perfectly wrapped up every single thing and each character got an incredibly satisfying (even if sad or angsty) ending. And I just sighhh contentedly when I think about how amazing that episode was.

Erik's got a date! And also self-doubt and delusion and denial and desperate justification.

After FOURTEEN CHAPTERS...together again, at last! Will it be worth the wait? All I can say is… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also available on AO3, so pick your poison and drink up. Cheers! 🥂
