AWBB Creator Spotlight

The full fic and a Q&A is under the cut!

Creator: @random-nerd-posts

Role: Writer

Creation Title: Blue Air, White Snow

Connor didn’t have a car. He didn’t bring money for a taxi and it was snowing extremely hard outside. He really didn’t want to go home, but Hank already left, and Gavin called in sick. So, here he was, pacing around his desk, contemplating calling someone to come pick him up, because damn it he did not want to walk home in the snow. He didn't want to deal with the cold. He couldn't deal with the cold. He was afraid to. He was afraid to walk in the snow and see her. He just couldn’t. Looking at Jeffery’s office, he sighed, the man also left a few hours ago, but Connor knew the man didn’t like him one bit, so again, not many options are left for him. He wanted to just sleep at the precinct, but he knew Hank would flip out if he didn’t come home safe and sound. So, Connor took a deep breath and put on his coat and went outside. He looked up and smiled. Yeah, it wasn’t so bad now, but unlike the storm in the store when there was that shooting and the blackout, it was peaceful. Connor thought he was shutting down when the lights went out and it was storming, he didn’t feel like that now, but he didn’t want to wait around for it to get bad either, so off he went to what was now his new home. When he got to the crossroads, he knew it was snowing a little bit harder, making him shiver a little bit more. Something he had developed the night that he almost lost control and shot Markus after infiltrating Cyberlife.

Shaking his head, he shuddered a sigh and trudged on. He didn’t like this feeling of helplessness. A year had passed, and he was still afraid of losing control and hearing that voice telling him that he never had control. I need to get home! I need to stop thinking and I need to get home RIGHT NOW! Connor thought as he started to jog but couldn’t keep the pace due to the shivering. He had to shut that down, but he didn’t know how. The snow was falling harder. He held his quickening breath and stopped all together. He looked at the sky and it was dark grey. This wasn’t good. He really needed to get out of there, but he had to get the Ha- his house first. He ignored his shivering and darted. He ran and breathed a steady beat. He stopped only because he hit a spot of ice and slipped upon his back. He looked at the sky and could feel his face getting warmer. He was crying. He hated winter. He hated Amanda. He hated Kamski. He hated snow. He loved Sumo and Hank. He didn’t want to move, but he had to move faster to get out of the snow. He was afraid that if he didn’t, he was going to be buried alive by the blanket of white snow. He still didn’t move because he was interested in the cloud that was expelling from his breath every time he breathed out. It was a light blue, like a mixture of water and thirium. He didn’t know what this meant, but if he focused on this, the snow wasn’t too bad. He still hated it, and it was unbearable, but it wasn’t that unbearable. So, Connor sat up, focusing on his breath once more, he looked up into the sky. The stars we covered up by the clouds, and Connor couldn’t see the moon, making it seem like the night and snow was consuming him. He could feel his stress rising, so he looked at what humans would call his breath, and he calmed down a little bit and he got up and continued onward to home. He almost collapsed when he saw Hank’s house, but he had to run to get away from the snow. When he entered the house, Hank looked at the android like he was a crazy man, but Connor didn’t acknowledge the lieutenant as he went and hugged the Saint Bernard and sobbed into the dog’s neck. Hank sat down by the android, realizing that he totally forgot that the deviant was petrified of snow and snowstorms. Something to deal with his programming and self-testing program installed into his system. Hank just didn’t push it, but also didn’t ask why Connor was slightly breathing blue air while he ran into the house either.

Q: What inspired this work: What inspired me for this work was the fact that I was looking for one-shots ideas online (like a boon) and I saw a list of December stuff. Looking into it, it just screamed Connor due to the whole Amanda sequence after CyberLife tries to control our Conno-boi again. 

Q. How long did it take for you to create this piece: Because, when I first made it, there were a ton of mistakes in it, grammar wise (I am a freak about making sure my spelling is correct), I wrote it in one day due to the fact that I wanted to relax after a day in class. 

Q. Why did you choose to feature Connor as your main character: I chose Connor because the title said Blue Air, White Snow. Looking back at the scene at the end, where CyberLife is trying to gain control of his memories, it's hectic where there's the blizzard, it's cold, and he has to stop himself from shooting his friend. So, thinking, "okay, Connor would correlate any type of snow falling with Amanda and that moment. That's why I think it's important to show that impact it had on Connor with the whole freaking out part with any type of snow. 

Q. Do you have a favorite trope to write about: Honestly, my favorite type of trope is showing what canon events did to impact a character and describing it. That's why, when you read a lot of my one-shots in my 100 Prompts on my tumblr page, you see a ton of description and not a lot of dialogue because I feel looking at another's actions in depth, like what type of expression and how they respond to an event would be more valuable than instead making them say it. It really shows who that person is, especially if something happened that would cause them to freak out over a simple blackout in a supermarket (different one-shot, sorry), or on another end, have fun with a snowball fight with the other Jericho leaders because it isn't that bad of a world like when Amanda is around.

Q. What inspired you to start writing whump: The real reason I actually got into whump was because I grew up in a shitty place. My mom and sister would always fight, and I felt like I would get in the middle a lot. My family hated each other, and I felt like I was targeted for some of their anger. Then, fanfiction came along, and I didn't want to write happy because I wasn't happy. So, I decided to write what I was feeling based off what the character's tragic events were. My writing was shit when I started, but when I realized that people actually love whump stories, I couldn't stop because it made me happy in all of the tragic events happening in my own life. So, whump was actually my escape from reality, and I'm really excited to keep pursuing the pain of others.

What is your favorite show and why do you like it? Like what caught your eye about it?

I don’t currently have a favourite...well, anything, so much as a bunch of things I love and am always down for. So! Here’s a list of those things!

Star Trek (original series, but also next gen)! When I was a kid, my parents worked long hours, so my brother and I had late bedtimes so we could spend time with them. As such, we ended up watching grown up shows with them. One of my earliest memories is of watching it with my parents. Plus I relate SO HARD to Spock and Data due to almost certainly being some kind of neurodivergent :3

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts! Kipo is a great character and the diversity on the show is amazing. The second season kept bowling me over with the plot twists

Avatar the Last Airbender, because I love bending, and Zuko’s redemption ark is *chef’s kiss*

The Dragon Prince, because it got to be everything ATLA was, but with more nuance (no hate to ATLA, but I think being streaming only meant it could get away with more than ATLA could, idk)

The Witcher, and this is 110% due to a combination of Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt and the homoeroticism with Jaskier

Ask game: Ask me anything you want to know about me!

Are you guys still doing the big bang or are doing another one in the future?

Hello there!

I’m sorry for the late answer, but we probably won’t do another BB. If anyone else wants to though, they’re absolutely free to!
