summary: vicky has never really been much of a morning person. staying up all night working on her inventions hasn’t boded her well when it came time to wake up the next morning. stuff like that never really mattered. but dating scott has changed quite a few of her routines, including her morning one. and what better way to start off the early hour than to go on a walk with her favorite boy?
Mornings were never Vicky’s favorite thing in the world.
She didn’t hate them, per say. But when you’re an aspiring engineer who works on her projects way late into the night, waking up at a good time could be somewhat of a struggle.
She’d drag herself out of bed, eyes bleary as sunlight spilled through the curtains. She would pad her way to the kitchen, feeling the cool tile on her bare feet, and attempt to wake her brain up. A cup of coffee usually did the trick, though she’d deny ever being a caffeine addict. Then, she’d get dressed for the day and either get back to work on her latest build or browse some forums on her laptop. Maybe start up that blog she’s been wanting to make for awhile, hopefully get some studying in, and then perhaps text her friends for a bit.
That was how Vicky spent most of her mornings, and she was pretty content with it.
That all changed, of course, when she started dating Scott Howl.
Vicky considered herself to be a pretty energetic person, but nothing compared to the full force that Scott was. From the times she’s slept over at his house, he was somehow always able to wake up bright and early with a smile on his face. There were few times she could remember where he’d actually let himself sleep in. He’d always go on about how “it’s good to get an early start to the day” and how “waking up early boosts morale”. Something he definitely just heard from some YouTube video.
At first, he’d just get out of bed and go on with his day, cooking up breakfast for her whenever she eventually woke up. But recently, he had been waking her up along with him whenever they spent the weekends together. It all started with a simple, whispered request,
“Hey, Vicky! Wanna go on a walk with me?”

💋 Eyes On Fire - 💖 Victor x Ruby 💖
I'll seek you out
Flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain
Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace
Happy Howl At The Moon Night!! so I had no prep time due to unusually long high summer temps to make all the edits I wanted to make for this year's celebration. but I hope you enjoy this franken-laws AU snippet for Howl At The Moon Day (hopefully to be a full video one day!), I really enjoyed making it! we really need Ruby & Gerhardt interaction, don't we? partly Storybrooke, partly Hyperion Heights. yea I don't know, go with it lol
Figured it was about time I collected all of my fics into one area, will ofc be updating it as I write more. It’s sorted by ship, including wherefrom they originate, with a brief description of what type (one-shot, chapter fic, same-universe if I’m feeling saucy) and a short summary of what happens. V proud of myself for figuring out how to link these tbh, but if any of the links isn’t working for the love of Pete please let me know. Fics with more than one chapter will be linked to the first chapter because...logic.
For the tags, I have chosen to only use the ship names, not __ x __ format, for the sake of trying to keep the tags somewhat in hand. I have, however, tried to use what I’m aware of being the most popular/common names for ships, as well as the alternate ones I’ve seen for more niche stuff. Also tagged are the shipped characters. If I add new ships, I'll have to reblog bc of the tag limit.
*Hands you the rabbit hole* Have fun going down!
The Bad Batch {Star Wars: The Bad Batch}:
He Waits By The Riverside: One-shot. This one is different because it’s not really a ship fic, which is unusual for me; it’s more Tech-centric. Based on the song He Waits, By The Riverside from the show Renegade Nell, using the lyrics to explore the moment Tech crosses over into the afterlife and begins his wait for his family.
CaptainCroc/GoldenHook (Rumplestiltskin x Killian Jones {Once Upon A Time}):
Is This Love Persevering? (It Feels More Like The End of the World): One-shot. Established CaptainCroc mourning the loss of Baelfire. Canon-divergent for the sake of Rumple actually getting to attend his son’s funeral.
Who Makes You See Color: Chapter fic, 14 total. CaptainCroc soulmates AU where one person sees color earlier than the other. Extends from pre-Dark One era to the First Curse being broken.
The Truth Echoes Darkly: Short series; part 1 for The Truth Echoes Darkly. Echo Caves AU where instead of Emma, Hook confesses that he loves Rumple for maximum awkward.
The Echo Goes On: Short series; part 2 for The Truth Echoes Darkly. Back in Storybrooke, Rumple finds himself obsessed with Hook and realizes that he’s fallen in love as well.
My North Star: One-shot. Established CaptainCroc vow renewal, featuring Hook’s inner thoughts about how much he loves Rumple.
Better Than Blood: One-shot. Pretty racy, but the point is thinking about the poeticism of having sex with your ex-nemesis.
Cherik (Charles Xavier x Erik Lehnsherr {X-Men Movies}):
Sweetheart Will You Sleep With Me: One-shot. The night before they fight Shaw, Charles and Erik make the most of the little time they know they have left together and sleep in Charles’ room. Fluff, don’t get too excited by the title lol.
Baby While You’re At It: One-shot. Based on a Jessie Murph song. Angst with a happy ending. Charles is furious when Erik crashes a party at the school, so they have it out in the kitchen and get more-or-less back together by the end.
Espionage Husbands (Talos x Nick Fury {Captain Marvel/Secret Invasion}):
Locked In This Embrace: One-shot. Focuses on the forehead-touching scene from Episode 1, plus an original scene or two afterwards. Mostly Talos pining for Nick with a happy ending.
If You Are Gilgamesh And Did These Things: One-shot. Angst without a happy ending because the author was very upset and sad when Talos died. Nick is grieving Talos; Sonya isn’t helping.
Frankenwolf (Ruby Lucas x Victor Frankenstein {Once Upon A Time}):
Den of Blankets: One-shot. Ruby’s wolf instincts kick in during pregnancy and she builds a blanket-fort den. V fluff.
She Deserves To Have Your Name: One-shot (possibly same-universe as Den of Blankets). Victor has doubts about whether or not their child should have the name Frankenstein, but Ruby wouldn’t hear of anything else.
It’s Just A Dream: One-shot. Ruby has a nightmare spawned from her fears of being a bad parent; Victor comforts her.
As The Storm Blows Through: One-shot. Victor has anxiety during a storm because of what happened with Gerhardt, and Ruby comforts him.
Secret Admirers Are For The Subtle: One-shot. Victor anonymously sends Ruby flowers at the diner so he can drop by, “notice” them, and stick around to sketch them, all so he can spend time with Ruby. She’s on to him the entire time.
Blue Skies Smiling At Me: One-shot. Utterly fluffy beach fic. Ruby is having a good day relaxing with her friends, and it only gets better when her handsome husband joins them.
Frankenberry And The Fruit Brute: One-shot. Fun little Halloween fic where Ruby and Victor discover the General Mills cereals that match their fairytale identities.
Precursor To A Love Song: One-shot. Hyperion Heights AU where Ruby and Victor meet and feel an instant connection, even though they don’t know why. She’s a fashion designer and he’s a piano player/freelance artist. Potential springboard for a full chapter fic if I feel like it.
Georry (George Hazard x Orry Main {North and South}):
Stay By The Fire And Love Me: One-shot. The barn scene but Orry decides to stay and he and George bed down together for the night. Kind of a character study/relationship study.
HatterHare (Mad Hatter x March Hare {Adventures In Wonderland}):
The First Kiss: One-shot. Just a fluffy lil idea about what their first kiss might’ve been like.
Every Bit Of You: One-shot. Projection’n’stuff about food issues basically.
Kalluzeb (Garazeb Orrelios x Alexsandr Kallus {Star Wars Rebels}):
Don’t You Know It’s Because He Loves You?: One-shot. Kallus discovers that Zeb is in love with him via a Lasat Honor Guard tradition.
To Convince You That I Love You: Chapter fic. Kallus does risky things to prove he would do anything for love of Zeb, or that he’s worthy of him, and ends up getting hurt. Angst with a happy ending, hurt/comfort.
Hour One: One-shot. The rite-of-passage post-Zero Hour fic!!! You know what’s in here and you know you want to read it! Basically just good old hurt/comfort.
Lokius (Loki x Mobius {Loki}):
The Man Of My Dreams And He’s Just Out Of Reach: One-shot (with a very long name lol). Mobius stands there across the street from Don’s house and misses Loki. Author was having some Feelings™.
Outlaw Queen (Regina Mills x Robin Hood {Once Upon A Time}):
A Slice Of Life: One-shot. Regina spends the day with her boys and thinks about how awesome it is to have them. V fluffy because the OQ family didn’t get enough of that.
Paxe/AxePaz (Paz Vizsla x Axe Woves {The Mandalorian}):
We Are Mandalorians: Our Love Must Be Forged: Chapter fic, 11 total. Axe and Paz slowly fall in love as they engage in the battle to retake Mandalore, more or less a fix-it for Paz dying in S3 canon.
PloKit (Plo Koon x Kit Fisto {Star Wars: the Clone Wars}):
Reader, Plo Married Him: One-shot. Plo and Kit share some quiet time just after their wedding.
The Tender Daily Ritual: One-shot. Basically just fluff; Kit helps Plo with lotioning his skin because it dries out in oxygen atmospheres.
Scogan (Scott Summers x Logan Howlett {X-Men Movies}):
Torn Between Love And Fear: One-shot. Scott wants to stay after sex and sleep in Logan’s room, but Logan is terrified of hurting him during a nightmare. Angst with a happy (and sort of spicy) ending.
You Scratch My Back, I’ll Scratch Yours: One-shot. Logan and Scott discover they have a mutual pain kink and indulge in it together for the first time. Incredibly spicy, I'm so proud of myself.
Guilt (It’s Gonna Last Forever): One-shot. Intended to be in the same universe as Torn Between Love And Fear. Logan has a nightmare and accidentally stabs Scott, making his worst fear a reality. No resolution for whether or not Scott lives.
Spones (Spock x Dr. McCoy {Star Trek TOS}):
I Could Drink A Case Of You (I Would Still Be On My Feet): One-shot. Based on a Joni Mitchell song; angsty with a happy ending.
Random idea to break the tie of who to ship Ruby with in my reader-guided fic.. Connect the Prompts (on ao3). Y'all get a preview in how I'll write the ships you've suggested, and maybe vote someone off.. (or you can tell me how bad an idea this is lol..)
