What if I reread play crack the sky again

🌟🌟🌟 for the director's cut ask game

All the stars, because Play Crack the Sky changed me and I think about it a lot even after all these years

It was one of the fics that altered my brain chemistry istg. I remember having one of those smartphones with the small screens and reading it during the night because I was still living with my parents. And holy shit I had a lot of "putting my phone down to scream" moments reading it and probably gave my sister some heart attacks ahahahah (we shared the room) but it was all worth!

Anyway thank you for sharing it, even with all the angst and heavy themes (beautifully portraited btw) it made my nights better ❤️

Ahahaha sorry the random rambling! But I hope this ask/comment sparks some joy!

WAITTTT this is so cute, thank you for this. My apologies to your sister for the inconvenience 😂

Directors Cut Play Crack thoughts for you are:

I had a very very detailed handwritten tour schedule for the European tour (including dates, travel time, whether they would drive or fly between locations, etc). Someone saw it sitting out once and asked if I was planning a trip to Europe LOLLL

An alternate version of the conversation Stiles has with his dad where he tells him he loves Derek and doesn't want to quit his band! I went digging around in my writing folder to see if I had anything fun laying around and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ debatable but it's kinda cute! Under the readmore!

“Stop expecting the worst,” the Sheriff tells him gruffly after listening to him for a long stretch of uninterrupted rambling.

“I just don’t want to get my hopes up.”

“Son, it sounds to me like there isn’t a lot of risk here…”

“But we’re on the road. You don’t understand, life is different on tour.”

“You really think Derek’s going to stop loving you after this?”

Stiles smiles. “No,” he admits.

His father makes a satisfied sound on the other end. “And do you think you’re going to suddenly, after however many years, stop loving him?”

“No.”

“So there you go.”

“It’s not that simple.”

“It is. It really is. You’re either going to embrace the simplicity of it – he loves you, you love him, plain as day – or you’re going to keep running around it for the rest of your life.”

“Daaad,” Stiles protests. “What if we get back to the States and fall apart?”

“Son, your mother stuck with me through college, the Army and the Academy. Do you really think I don’t understand the concept?”

Stiles sighs. And he can’t help but wonder what she’d have to say about all this. He’s tempted to ask, but he knows what the Sheriff will say: she stayed, didn’t she? 

“You love him?” his father asks with a smile in his voice.

“Yeah.”

“Have you told him that?”

“No.”

“Idiot.”

“We’ve got bigger fish to fry right now, dad.”

“And you’re the one who called me!”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you liked me. Your only son.”

“I do like you.”

Stiles smiles smugly.

“And I like Derek.”

His smile falters.

“I really like him a lot, actually, I think he’s a good kid. And I think you two work. So. Go handle that. I’ll go handle these kids trying to use fake IDs over at The Jungle.”

“Delinquents!”

“Yeah? Reminds me of my own little delinquents.”

“Hey now, we were angels.”

“Uh huh.”

Y'all when I say I screamed and cried and shrieked upon opening a package from @shieldmaidenofsherwood today!!!!!

Tumblr made the quality of these so bad obvs (and if you're looking at my grown out manicure DON'T) but like SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plack Crack and Sowing Season AND INCHES AND FALLING AND B-SIDES!! This shit is so thick who let me write this much??? I'm cryin???

I have no words. Thank you to my beloved Kat for such an incredible present and possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me??? Literally nothing else is coming to mind, this is outrageously lovely.

I have a complicated relationship with PCtS/Sowing Season. I really love it and am proud of it (despite all typos and abominations against English grammar that I refuse to edit). It also quite literally connected me with some of my most favorite people ever. And it means a lot to me that people found something worth coming back for in it. BUT sometimes I resent it a little because I haven't been able to write in years and not writing makes me question my identity and blah blah blah.

That said, this is such a gift to my heart and soul. It was a very special moment to open these and hold them physically in my hands and know they were made with such love.

I wanted y'all to see how cool these are and to know that if you still read my silly Teen Wolf fanfic that I appreciate and love you too.

OKAY BYE I'm crying.

The way that I just thought about Play Crack the Sky today and then you reblog a post about someone rereading it. Wheeeew, if that’s not a sign for me to reread as well, I don’t know what is. Kismet.

I love this ty ily if you read it, I hope you have a very nice time doing so.

Hey there. Happy New year for you! Since I love your stories so much and love the music I got to explore through it, I would like to hear more of it. Unfortunately, I can't open the 8tracks (country restriction). World you mind posting the track list again so I can make a spotify list for myself? Thank you so much! (And if the answer is no, of course that's not a problem either.) Best wishes for you!

Hello! Happy New Year! Thank you so much. <3 

I have this for Play Crack, which breaks it down by chapter because I must’ve been feeling like an overachiever that day: LINK

I don’t presently have track lists around for Sowing Season but if you would also like that, I can make it happen. (Lazy woman’s way out of doing it right now lolll)

I know it’s been years since you wrote play crack the sky & that you’ve moved on to new fandoms. But I just did my annual re-read, despite having also moved into a new fandom, & I'm just. Stunned. As always. By how much I love this story. I spent the last week screenshotting my fav lines for my friends & gushing & reading outside of my normal train-only pattern. I just adore this story so much & can never thank you enough for gifting us with it. You're such a phenomenal writer, seriously 💜💜💜

OH bless. <3 Thank you so much!

It’d been a suuuuper long time since I’d read it (because I had no reason to really?) and then I read Daisy Jones and The Six (Taylor Jenkins Reid, highly recommend) and was like “aw I miss my band AU.” This led me to uh reaching for it when I couldn’t fall back asleep on Friday night and then like... I read it all the way through. And y’all, I cried?? at parts I’d never like felt that emotional about before??? Absolutely wild situation to be in.

That’s all to say I have a refreshed sense of pride in it and affection for it so the timing of this ask is so sweet and lovely! I’m truly so happy it’s re-readable and standing some sort of test of time and fandom. Thank you thank you thank you
