Five Sentence Friday ✍️

Tagged by @my-favourite-zhent. No pressure tags: @eolasesayelan @aviatorasharak @lolliputian

This is from my Fine. Great! fic (NSFW, pairing: Cal/Geraldus)

"Cal, you—" Lia took a deep breath. "This is something Rolan would do."

"Don't say that!"

"It really is."

"No!"

---(and bonus lines to finish the bit!)---

"Using magic because you think you know how things should play out? You could've been stabbed!"

He wished he had been. Being stabbed was better than being called Rolan.

You can read the fic here:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Last Line Written

I was tagged by @commander-krios !

My last line written is from my Minthara fic, which heavily explores themes of how people present themselves in restrictive society and how they actually feel.

"It is a cruelty, that our daughters are only safe to love when they are dead."

Quick little ask for fun this evening, pass it on to others if you like!

Go to your ao3 works page and look at the filters on the side, then expand the Additional Tags one. What are your top three most used tags?

Humor (11)

Anal Sex (11)

Oral Sex (11)

Yeah, that sounds about right

Fanfic asks 1, 9, 12 and 17

Thank you for asking me about these!

1 - fav fic I wrote

Another one I don't know how to answer 😭 I have too many. Luckily, a few people asked for this so I'm going to say I Will Bury You In Diamonds, but since I have your attention, I also adore:

The Wizard and his Tower - smut fic! My favorite from this is the least popular one, Thiamarz's Routine Tower Maintenance. The most popular is Ramazith's Arcanodic Connection Massage. A crack ship turned legitimate. This also kind of assured me that the stuff I want to write (gentle dom, enthusiastic consent, begging, etc) does have an audience.

9 - longest WIP

The Moth and the Wasp (title will be changed), a fic where Mol and Arabella team up to resurrect the tieflings who died in the shadow curse by stealing their trapped souls.

This fic suffers from "I love it too much"itis and keeps getting rewritten or re-edited. Also, like, I know there isn't a huge audience for it so I don't feel any pressure to finish it up.

It sits at 16,545 words in my "written" doc and an additional 7,259 words in my "ideas" doc (mostly scenes I hope to include but that aren't done yet) and several thousand more words of cut content that I decided ultimately weren't good for the story. There's also an other version that was about 30k that I completely scrapped. I've probably written about 60-70k on this fic, which just shows how little I've kept. I'm aiming for it to be about 30k words.

12 - fav character

I answered this on another so I'll copy/paste!

Arg don't make me choose. Currently it's probably Lakrissa or Salazon. They're both kind of "fail" characters, Lakrissa because she's all talk no action and happy riding Alfira's coattails, Salazon because he's the most underfunded, unlucky criminal wizard to exist. While Lakrissa is actively trying to slack off, though, Sal is trying to get some respect.

Earlier this year, definitely Pandirna, Ikaron and Guex. I loved how the three played off each other (Pandirna as a hurt but healing character, Guex as a cheerfully proactive character, and Ikaron as a stoic and overwhelmed character.) All three were principled and I loved exploring that.

And I really liked my OC, Thiamarz, who was a challenge to write but with who I got to explore some really fun smut.

17 - fic you'll continue

Where There's Smoke, a monster fucking Veilguard fic. Already got the idea for a second chapter, just need to find the time and make sure it fits in with the lore

Lifeline, my Minthara/Araj toxic yuri fic. I've written the second chapter and outlined the rest (I never outline, so this is amazing).

Last 6 Lines

I was tagged by @graysparrowao3 !

These are the last 6 lines of a fic I just finished that will be out in a few days. The fic is NSFW, the lines are not.

I'm going to tag @beesht @redroomroaving @coreene @captainsigge

Working title: Barrel & Bugger

Sal flopped onto the barrel next to Gale, smoke lazily billowing around his head.

"You really had to eat a boot? Without even salt?" he asked.

"Indeed."

Another inhale, and Sal offered the smoke to Gale. "Think you need this more than me."

Last Line

Rules: share the last sentence you wrote, and tag as many people as there are words.

I was tagged by @lemonsrosesandlavender!

This is smut, it's monster fucking, it's under the cut. There are 24 words. I don't think I even know 24 people and certainly not well enough to tag in monster fucking so, um, consider this an open invite if you aren't tagged. But here we go:

@beesht @tavyliasin @croquettish @captainsigge

@coreene @redroomroaving @darkurgetrash @forget-me-maybe @ra-scheln

When they pulled away, the creature stretched and looped tighter, a serpent, a spider, wrapping the two of them in a cocoon of pleasure.

1, 21 and 29 for the end of year asks!

Sorry for the delay! And thank you for the ask ❤️

1 - fav fic I wrote

Really glad you asked because I can give the real answer (I Will Bury You in Diamonds, the fic I never shut up about) and a spare that I also adore:

Embers that Never Go Out - sad little grief fic about Arabella learning magic, set post game.

21 - most memorable comment review

Oh, like, all of them. I actually save comments (like have screenshots) and reread them all the time. I recently got one from Libri on I'll Write to You in Flowers that was about as long as the fic itself that I've been going over and over, and I've always enjoyed ones that quote lines or are steam of consciousness or that are from writers I also enjoy. (Tumblrs tags are freaking out with too many names so sorry but) aviatorasharak, graysparrow, unmoderated_zhent, topofthelighthouse, deepdustsea, bee, lolliputian , silverstrike and soncasong are a few names that I can think of, but I'm so grateful for this community.

Oh, and whenever anyone recommends one of my fics I have to go jogging or dancing from excitement. I know luvwich and vera have lately, so thank you.

However, the question asked for one, so I'll say, @bloobluebloo who left comments on my first fic (Shadows of the Lost)that intrigued me, convinced me to keep publishing my stuff (even though that fic was very esoteric), greatly informed my own style of leaving long-ass and detailed comments, and bloo was one of the first people I ever reached out to on Tumblr to be like, "hi". Every time I worry about writing something too silly I think about "Zelda forcing Ganondorf to attend a class with children? That is so freaking amusing I literally burst into laughter" and damnit, if that isn't too silly than nothing is

29. Shortest fic I've read

Okay I was going to say "In the Hideout" which is Shadowheart/Nocturne smut fic by Topofthelighthouse for the Tolna's Vault Smut Challenge, which clocks in at 622

But then I remembered "queens on the throne", at 599 words, where am empress dethrones her husband but keeps one of his concubines, determined to romance her.

12, 14 and 23 for the end of the year fic asks please!

Thank you for the requests!

23 - fic I wanted to write but didn't

Going Fezzerk :( the challenge it was for got put in hiatus literally the day the first section was to be released (Fezzerk is in the third section) and has yet to start up again. Sometimes I think about just finishing it up for myself but at the same time I love doing these shared things. I had a bunch of jokes and a bit of it written. I don't know what I'll do with it.

I also have a fic planned that I might get to next year, set post game. Basically, Zevlor and Tilses get roped into solving a series of murders tied together by one thing: all the victims are previous members of the Absolute's cult. It might finally wrap up a huge plot line from I Will Bury You In Diamonds, which was which tieflings got the other dolls that helped Guex get through the Shadow Cursed Lands? It might not, though, because the more I think about the murder mystery the harder it is to tie it to that plot, haha.

14 - fic I didn't expect to write

A Honeypot; A Thirst Trap (NSFW). I did it solely on a whim because I thought some people on a server were funny and wanted to make them laugh. I barely knew the characters, I hadn't written a ton of smut, it was big "senpai notice me" energy....and now the fic has several chapters!

12 - Fav character

Arg don't make me choose. Currently it's probably Lakrissa or Salazon. They're both kind of "fail" characters, Lakrissa because she's all talk no action and happy riding Alfira's coattails, Salazon because he's the most underfunded, unlucky criminal wizard to exist. While Lakrissa is actively trying to slack off, though, Sal is trying to get some respect.
