“O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: to hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit.”

~ W. Shakespeare

Pretty much sums up my fan fic. I’m shit with shading 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I’m working on it.

Fan fic update

I still exist! Editing is still underway and chapter fourteen should be posted soon to my AO3 account.

The last chapters are actually in progress. I had a specific list of songs to listen to as I write, and while I’ve touched upon them, Max Richter has literally written most of the story’s end. If you’re not familiar with his work ... well, let’s just say I spent a few moments crying at my desk because his music is just that moving and emotional.

More than likely it’s because I really needed a good cry after all of the bullshit I’ve been dealing with as of late, but still - tears were necessary, and Max really helped with capturing the emotion I needed to journey towards the end (is making someone cry “help,” though? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️). I hope this translates in the story 🤞🏼

More to come soooooon!

After the release of "Humanz," Murdoc Niccals finds himself creatively impotent and actively withdrawn from the band that's already struggling to hold itself together. One fateful night, his world collides with Cal Rivera's, who faces similar creative demons, and the spark of their companionship breathes new hope into everyone involved. However, the traumatic events of Murdoc's past and his present addictions make it hard for him and Cal to transition smoothly into a mutual future - if one is even in the cards for them.

This bitch is now live! Just a head’s up, this chapter contains drug use, which will continue to be a thing as the story progresses. Chapter 14 is on the operating table under the careful knife of my dear friend Robin, who graciously botox-ed this chapter as well, and 15 is currently in gestation. 

Wow. That was a way to describe my writing process. 

Anyway, enjoy and feel free to hit me up with any questions/comments/concerns!

For anyone following my fan fiction...

Chapter 13 is just now being edited. Now that the holidays are done, the chapters should be flowing out regularly again. Woohoo!

Bonus: I’ve got a smutty side-fic ready to post, featuring Ace, Murdoc and my OC, so if you’re into that sorta thing, stay tuned!

Editing chapter 12 because I won’t be able to update anymore before the end of the year ...

Have YouTube streaming some lucid jams and am working through these colorful edits in all of their juicy glory (yeah, my sex scenes are always this colorful, haha)! My friend Robin has such a way of making the things I say ten billion times better, bless her eloquent, dirty little heart 🖤

Chapter 12 goes live today on my AO3 account!

My fave Cure song, “This is a Lie,” just came on and I realized that I currently don’t have any Cure on my Foundations of Rubble playlist, and that’s absolutely unacceptable.

HUMANZ - I finally updated my  fan fic, “Foundations of Rubble,” and with this update comes happy news: my dear friend Robin has volunteered to edit this chapter and the rest of the story, meaning a more polished and sane piece of work. If you’re into the Naruto fandom or just want a great read, check her out on fanfiction.net. Her handle is Tridacnagigas <3 

She won’t see this but THANKS ROBIN! 

Anyway, hope you enjoy!
