i realize i havent been posting my fics on um tumblr.. oops.. BUT IM ALIVE IM DOING IT NOW OKAY! this fic is.. 4.7k, doran/chovy, rated e, and has like. situationship kinda angst. it's set after geng's elimination to blg in worlds 2023.
it is actually a spin-off of my not yet released fic and current wip, kim suhwan vs. the world. i basically wrote the first scene in the pov of suhwan (yeah actually he's awake and sitting behind the door) and then went. wait i wanna write this! so then i stayed up until 5 am writing this bc i hate myself or something, even though im literally sick atm and SHOULD BE RESTING.
it's titled after florence + the machine's only if for a night because... i think it's fitting. also because i think maolan is weirdly like, florence + the machine coded.
i guess i dont have a ton to say about this though, idk, i hope the characters arent ooc and i hope the smut isn't horrible even though i know it is. sigh. okay HAVE A GREAT DAY YALL!

this is a platonic showmaker & chovy (& faker) runeterra au with proplayers as league of legends champions (kindred). i used a lot of league of legends canonical lore and then spun it with my own ideas :]
idk how tumblr works again but i realize I can do a lot more long form messages here so I will probably use this blog to put my thought process about writing fics? i will put that below, but it has spoilers so if u wanna check it out probably read the fic first !!
named after the sleep token song:
i chose this song to name it after this not only because the obvious kindred relation with "the eyes of the wolf / the mouth of the lamb" but also because of the other lyrics!
"for so long I have waited / so long that I almost became / just a stoic statue fit for nobody" is very much the grey man coded.
"the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me" would talk about the creation of the kindred, and lamb and wolf. they are each others escape.
"i know i know the way that it goes / you get what you give / you reap what you sow" well... kindred. they give death, and... ok imma stfu.
"and just like the rain / you cast the dust into nothing / and wash out the salt from my hands / so touch me again /i feel my shadow dissolving / will you cleanse me with pleasure?" i think speaks to the relationship between lamb and wolf again.
"nobody can say for certain / if maybe it's all just a game / when I open my eyes to the future / I can hear you say my name" is what I perceive to be the kindred and the grey man's relationship. :>
in the end notes i vaguely touch on the idea of the "LCK Mid" which I think is one of thee most interesting dynamics in lolesports. I've been wanting to write plat fics for a while to sort of explore. in my eyes the holy trinity of the lck mid would be faker, chovy, and showmaker. man I love them. also my grammarly keeps autocorrecting showmaker to shoemaker and its so annoying lmao.
but anyway they r SO INTERESTING! in this fic i tried to include a lot of parallels, from how showmaker as lamb knows more than chovy as wolf—because chovy hasn't won anything internationally unlike showmaker has. chovy's more hungry, because he hasn't won a world championship yet. not to mention their relationship with faker—each having a diff specialization and aspect of their gameplay. showmaker has said many times about how he doesn't want to be the next faker so i made him despise the grey man here. with faker as the grey man i again use the whole "alone at the top" trope because... oh my god I'm a sucker for that. he's got everything, but everyone hates him, and he is lonely. plus my ending + the cyclic nature of the world/of the esports... faker will always be there. it will always come back to him. there will be other midlaners, but its always faker at the end, or so it seems.
anyway! i had a lot of fun writing this fic. it was very challenging and out of my comfort zone because it was platonic and abt people I haven't written about before, and because its a lot more... abstract? it relies on parallelism and reading between the lines. idk. my brain is dumb. i am also dumb. i just vomit words on a google doc and pray for the best.
if anyone has more questions u can ask here on tumblr or on retrospring. please be nice bc again tumblr scares me. i am easily scared.

ahem. don't leave me hanging like mona lisa; guma/keria, 2.5k, frat party meet-cute, rated t for... alcohol consumption(?) inspired by the ONE and ONLY song mona lisa by sabrina carpenter
LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW as a sabrina stan since 2016 i gotta say. its a very good song okay. it is. it'd be her objectively best song if only it was longer than two minutes and eighteen seconds. i only finished this fic bc of my love for sabrina carpenter. you cannot fathom my love for sabrina carpenter that's how big of a sabrina carpenter lover i am.
Son Siwoo is a wanderer at heart: he's never stayed with any team, or any person, for too long. Park Jaehyuk really wishes that he had. or: Jaehyuk knows exactly where to look for Siwoo after Nongshim’s playoffs win, but he doesn’t really know what he's hoping to find.

someone please study my priority list!! ANYWAY, this fic is . quite literally nonsense. it's bullshit. i spent like 3 hours researching MORE demacian lore because i like putting my people into runeterra without.. even making them like large champions or anything. they're literally just dudes chilling doing not much. quite literally runeterran NPCs.
anyway the title, shake my little soul, is from pools by glass animals. it's canyon/showmaker; fluff, 5+1 things, runeterra au. showmaker is a dragon shifter but NOT SHYVANA. it is 8,888 words on ao3. BANGER.
yes this fic was just inspired by the plushie i got. LOL!
