I know Berena is very canon and doesn't really need me to make silly manips, but something about this photo of Jemma Redgrave just Screamed Bernie looking longingly at Serena to me :D I'm thinking pre-relationship, Serena completely oblivious to Bernie staring at her... until maybe a colleague of theirs points it out to her, because Bernie was staring at her during the entire meeting!

Captain... Will you be my plus one tonight?

Have a Milippa manip I made while watching an episode different star trek show (*cough* threshold *cough*) it's not perfect imo but I probably won't get around to fixing it any time soon bc after threshold blogging all day, I should get back to my uni assignments next week... Oh well! I hope y'all's still like it :)

My Milippa tag list, lmk if you want on/off it:

Original pics & Michael edited and flipped, plus some WIPs:

Also just fyi finding a picture that fits the original image without having to go to great length in editing is such a pain, like for example I tried it with this one first and the results were... Not Great lmao

I do Not have the time to write fic right now, in fact I shouldn't even be online right now because I have so many things to do, so I definitely don't have the time to write the longfic this idea deserves to be but -

I had a random thought and now I'm just obsessed with the idea of an Elinor Lives AU where Ellie finds Bernie when everyone thinks she's dead.

Doesn't really matter why Elinor lives, can be full on AU ignoring any of that ever happened or just turning the same storyline into her just barely surviving or anything in between... But she's alive, she was around for the whole Bernie/Serena debacle and now she sees her mum break after Bernie's disappearance and 'death', and while everyone who knew Bernie is paralyzed by worry then grief, Elinor needs to do something.

Maybe she chats with journalist students in her dorm, or a professor who used to be a war correspondent... She gets some contacts needed to start her research, it's not like she can actually leave the country, she couldn't do that by to her mum and she's to scared anyway, but she ends up playing a literal game of telephone passing information back and forth and asking others to ask others about the missing blonde, and it's hard but she's already failing her semester so she might as well do something worthwhile instead of focusing on exams she'll have to repeat anyway... And she wants to do her damnest to figure out where that woman who her mum loves and who disappeared might have gone, because grieving for someone when there's no body is just 'bloody stupid', and she knows she's been a brat a lot of the time but she just wants her mum back, her mum who's happy and annoyingly curious and always there for her, okay?

And then, when it's time for the funeral (okay, very dramatic daydreaming on my part here, maybe if someone wants to write this into an actual fic you can go less Last Second) she's just found out where Bernie is, and proof that she's alive, and shows up like 'well, let's get this farce over with' 'farce?' 'oh idk maybe that her ex is giving her speech and her other ex is pretending to be her fiancé, or, oh, maybe the fact that you're burying an empty coffin in honour of a woman who isn't even dead?'

Serena gasps. Elinor hadn't seen her, she was just ranting at whoever stood closeby outside of the building while she was looking for her mum, but now Serena's by her side immediately. 'Elinor?? What are you doi- what are you talking about??'

So she tells her. She's alive, in hospital, injured but alive, conscious even, doesn't have a phone but I managed to get the number of a nurse at her station so we can call, if you like... Maybe she has a picture of her too, grainy small image someone else took with a phone camera worse than her own, of Bernie lying there pale in a hospital bed, smiling awkwardly at the camera.

And for the first time in what feels like forever, Elinor sees her mother look happy again.

Berena tag list (lmk if you want on/off it): @sapphicdbc @akaanonymouth @starfleetwitch @shippingsincebeforeyouwereborn

What can I say, I'm just a sucker for all the hurt/comfort happy ending everybody lives AUs <3 I really Really want to see this fic come to life but I have two deadlines next week and another the week after so I can't just take a few hours to couple days off to write... And I know myself, by the time I have the time I'll have forgotten all about it and five new ideas besides :( so I just wanted to share the idea... maybe someone else wants to pick it up, or just enjoys the little outline I wrote down here :)

for the NYE writer's goal ask: 5, 8, 13, 20

(also whoops I unfollowed you trying to ask this)

New year's fic ask

Thanks for the ask! It's been like a month, but here we go :D haven't written anything yet this year anyway so it's not like my answers would've changed much!

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

Uhhh do I even have any active WIPs? I mean, I have a ton of drafts and such but I'm not really actively writing anything at the moment. A rare state for me! But the next months should be less busy for me, so I'll probably get back into it soon :)

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

I've already answered this one when someone else asked me :)

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic? 

Definitely :D Already answered in more detail here!

20. Any plans to work on original fiction this year?

Related to /8, I don't have the time to properly write a novel at the moment, plus it's like that I think it's a Neil Gaiman quote where he said when he was younger and already had the ideas for some of his stories, he wasn't ready to write them yet... I think I've some growing left to do before I can really do the stories I want to write justice. Doesn't mean I won't already write down all my ideas whenever I find the time! For example I actually made a discord server with just me in it a few months back for one sci-fi/dystopia/multiverse story I'm thinking about...

Thanks for the questions, hope you're having a nice day! <3
