Thought I’d give a quick rundown of the two people I’ve been interested in the past few weeks/months. The ones that keep me up at night and make me happy to be here with you guys while we all do our thing.
I decided to take a step back for a week from the whirlwind that is my own output (I think I have 7 stories going, because I’m an asshole) and I needed to kind of escape from trying to figure out the mechanisms of quantum bubbles and tesseracts and because ugh why is time travel so hard :( and rest in someone else’s hands for awhile.
I learned more about writing and what I want for these characters in 10 minutes with these two miracles than I have in a little under a year of writing my own. Please enjoy, if you haven’t already.
and four makes home Ok guys this is really just lovely; and it gets better everytime it’s updated or you go back and reread. The pace is slow and easy, the touch is light and feels like a warm, autumn day by a lake (all the shadows are sharp, the air is cold and the light is dazzling), the feelings are real and the vast intelligent heart behind it is glorious. OT4. Lexa, Raven, Octavia and Clarke are in love. It’s messy, wonderful, and heartbreaking. Curl up and ask DHS as many questions as you want. She loves questions. The headcanons and ficlets are as much fun as the story.
this is what we do (because this is who we are) Anya and Raven. Right. HERE WE GO. This is, bar none, some of the most astonishing writing I’ve come across in the 100 fic world. I’m really not sure what crazy alchemy happened here but Raven and Anya just absolutely slay, here. I had every expectation they would, but it’s just incredibly beautiful the way they did. I was speechless. You know what? It’s very rare that I’m at a loss for words (obvs) and this just rendered me speechless and on the verge of a mild heart attack. There is such a light, intricate blessed touch here. it's so quiet, so amazingly gentle I got to the end and reread it completely in love with these two. Two characters I really thought i had a handle on. This is devastatingly beautiful and immersive. And she upped my game simply because I read it. One or two moments had me lol'ing out loud (I scared the dog). So so so good, my friend. Gosh, thank you.
There’s a lot of amazing to choose from with LadyV, so I will direct you first and foremost to one of my most deliciously treasured quiet moments between two women of the 100, ever. Another OT4.
I won’t give it away, but she made me cry. your name like a box where i keep my love (a part of the the light is no mystery annexes) made me cry ugly tears and I think about it constantly. It changed my writing and the —oh my god? Good cry, believe me. This is just so very astonishing and powerful. "We know, baby. We definitely know."
Like, it’ll make you question the world and everything and your life choices and stuff.
I mean. My poor little gay heart.
