9, the devil you thought you knew

9. Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

Usually there weren't alternate versions as much as I discovered new places I wanted to go/new developments within the journey. I've known what the ending couple of chapters will be for about a year now (likely chapters 40-42) but the route there keeps expanding

I hadn’t known that I'd want Viravos to actually get married but they are and it'll matter for more than just shipper reasons, for instance

When I first started writing rather soon after S4 I hadn't been a Sorvus shipper so that was a pleasant surprise, most stuff is like that where I grow into the idea that fits alongside the trajectory I've always had. Including some Ezran POV snd Rayla POV chapters and the Pentarchy were also things I really loved writing but hadn't known I would do at the start and I'm glad I have

I also have been on the fence about how much I wanted human mages to progress with learning magic, but I think it's clear now that I'm angling for them to be able to connect to an arcanum without using dark magic first, and I've spent a lot of time in fic establishing that through Aaravos, Callum, and Viren being teachers to my Eveneran mage circle. I suppose I worried for awhile if it would seem too OP or like Mary-Sueish to let myself have non canon characters connect, but I think that showing the effort has been rewarding and that I can earn that world state bit. Villads is also connected to the Sky in my fic but with a dormant connection so there's that as well for precedent

The biggest thing is yet to come, and it's what I'm going to do with Sol Regem. I've considered every option for what feels ic to resolve his stuff with and how to try and make it realistic but not like, horrific, and so I'm satisfied but it bothered me for months (probably like, chapter 38 or 39 we'll see).

So there haven't been total AU versions but I've weighed a lot of it in my mind and come into things. I've had a few major plotting sessions- one around chapter 10 when I realized I didn't want to leave off with Callum going with Aaravos and mage fam, and then another around chapter 20, and before Evenere was fleshed out I had anticipated ending in the 30s but I decided to stay ambitious and let myself spend time there, so the ending has always been there but the journey there has been pushed further and further by chunks of about 10 chapters at a time plotted in detail, always knowing what's coming after

And at this time I do have every chapter mostly mapped to the end, though knowing me it'll be a bit longer than I anticipate

Sometimes I wish I had made Viren get Star rather than Ocean, but hitting the wrong mage with the right arcanum is still funny to me and I think for how my fic has gone it works

I also wish things had been paced a bit differently as sometimes I feel I'm too fast or too slow, but alas, that's what writing a serial is like

Thank you so much for the ask! 💜

55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

uhhhh right now. unsurprisingly. fig and gorgug and ayda. theyre just. so fun to write. i love to shove them into situations and see what happens. and not really?? most of what i write is what i want to write. the stories i wanna explore and the characters i wanna play with. sometimes i write for my close friends?? things theyve inspired me about and things i know they wanna read as gifts but by and large. my fics are for me and the people i love and everyone else who loves my writing is a beautiful gift !!!

68. What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

read! i read a lot in general but also i go back and reread fics by other people that i love for inspo and i reread my own fic- both the one im working on and other things ive written- to help myself get into the writing words headspace!! sometimes if i'm really struggling with a character voice or dynamic, ill go back and rewatch/listen/read the source material for inspo, but that's less frequent bc i write so many aus kjsfbnsjbs

send me fic writer's asks from this list!!!!

i haven't been on a lot lately, so this is me saying hi! i hope the covid vaccine isn't treating you too badly!

hi my darling!!! it's okay, i've barely been on for the past couple of weeks myself, except when i pop in to answer a few things or set up my queue - which last night i was too exhausted to even do?! i'm still saving your last bcs message from almost two weeks ago! 😳💞

the first dose of the vaccine went okay! the places of concern, that i couldn't get any real tangible advice about, were regarding a possible reaction to a specific ingredient and the impact my POTS might have, because dysautonomia can cause such weird things (i have fainted twice from injections, though neither were vaccines - once with an anti-inflammatory injection in the soft tissue of my neck at an orthopedist, the other with a local anesthetic at the ER, and the poor doctor on call literally caught me from falling off the edge of the bed. both times they were like, "i've never had a patient faint from this treatment before!" lmao. i also once terrified a nurse when he did a blood draw that gushed all over the floor from my arm like a scene from a horror movie...) fortunately, the pharmacist who administered my vaccine was amazing, and i seem to barely have had a reaction at all? i came home and immediately put a lidocaine patch (which i usually use for my spine) on my arm and that diminished the residual pain, and somehow i, the queen of fevers, who runs fevers at random on any given day of the week, didn't even run one after the shot? it was worrying because my mom had terrible reactions to all three - she, unlike me, hardly ever runs fevers, and she has a high pain threshold, but she ran fevers, her arm was excruciating (she said it was like burning with pain), and each dose flared her vasculitis, especially the second one. she got an awful rash and both of her legs swelled for about 24 hours. so i'm not sure how i was fortunate enough with my ridiculously broken immune system to barely have a response, but i'm going to hope against hope that the next dose goes the same way for me, and all the concern we and medical professionals had about it will end up being an overabundance of caution.

the biggest thing that hit me was fatigue, but achiness and fatigue are my baseline and are exacerbated when i go out or do anything for any reason, so i can't blame that on the shot! i had a migraine and a sore throat yesterday, but that's also totally normal (in its abnormality) for me on any day symptoms-wise. i took a gabapentin wednesday night, but my insomnia's been severe for a while, so it didn't feel like it helped much...and then last night i collapsed and slept for 13 hours. 😭😂

thank you for asking and thinking of me, i am always sending good wishes and hugs to you!!! 💜💜💜

🍓!

blue 🥺🥺🥺

we first met right before some not so great shit happened so it took a while for us to actually become good friends but I'm so glad we did !!

our gender chats have been infrequent but I've really really enjoyed them whenever they've happened. I feel like we have kind of opposing but complementary feelings abt a lot of things, and I always appreciate hearing your perspective

I can't believe it's taken us this long to actually play dnd together lmao but I'm so glad I get to hang out w isadora 🥺🥺🥺 I love all your characters so so much and I get so excited whenever you post art of them
