for the ship asks: Noah/Blue and/or Noah/Blue/Gansey

Blue/Noah

Whether I ship it or not: yes I really do! They’re one of my favorite noncanon trc pairings tbh. I do think I was more actively into them on some previous rereads compared to recently but I still think they’re neat <3

Why I ship it or not: I mean they’re a lovely relationship whether you ship them or not, I love that Noah so immediately likes Blue (although obviously that was partly about her energy) that makes her feel more at home in the group, and as I mentioned in my notes consistently throughout the series when Blue is at her loneliest (the scene post the boat debacle in tdt / the kiss scene in tdt / the guiding counselor scene in BLLB) Noah will manifest and sort of reflect certain aspects of her feelings or allow her an outlet for them when normally it’s Blue who is the mirror to other chars, but Noah is also a mirror so that gets into an interesting territory the magic/world building of trc functioning as a metaphor for relationships and char work which is always my favorite way for magic in trc (and in many fantasy stories tbh but specifically in this context) to be utilized. So I think there is something very special to their scenes because of that thread and even though they don’t have as many as some other combos they tend to be emotionally impactful to me from that perspective. I generally enjoy when in paranormal stories there’s a blurred line or connection between love and death which is a big thing going on here but I’ll go into my thoughts on that in my Gansey/Blue/Noah answer otherwise I’ll be repeating myself. I also think while a lot of their interactions are very soft and adorable there’s often an undercurrent that’s just a little bit fucked up, such as Noah parasitically feeding off Blue’s energy (which she lets him do because she loves him so much..) or something of that nature, which makes it like. Real sweet but also real creepy, which is appealing to my tastes.

My opinion on their canon potential (chemistry, canon interactions, etc): well their kiss scene is definitely my favorite kiss scene in either series tbh but can you even call it a kiss with chemistry, or a kiss without chemistry for that matter, given it’s function in the story? That could be its own theoretical debate lol but I do think they consistently have really sweet moments of physicality such as the hair touching and hand holding and the pretzel-of-ghost-boy-and-not-psychic-girl scene. And like, it’s trc it’s the Gangsey there’s canon basis for p much everything ship wise.

My opinion on fanon interpretations/fandom around it (Favorite widespread hcs, pet-peeves, etc): I mean it isn’t that popular as a ship so would welcome more content around it.

Gansey/Blue/Noah

Whether I ship it or not: absolutely! one of my favorite triads in the Gangsey, actually there was a time a few years back where I would have called them my favorite that isn’t the case anymore since other ot3/triad dynamics have caught my eye more / I feel more strongly about at least 3 others than I do about this one, but it’s still really up there. Love them

Why I ship it or not: first of all on a thematic level there’s a lot to dig into with the three of them together. While obviously there is a lot going on in trc that is not the literal blurb, in theory the series is built around the idea of killing your true love with a kiss and the Blue x Noah kiss is essentially her first kiss with death because that’s what her kiss was always going to be, on my Blue Pinterest board I have a section labeled “her first and last kiss” (quote from that scene in the book) as my Gansey/Blue/Noah section. I just love the symmetry of the concept a lot. And then obviously just the transference kiss as a concept speaks to ot3 shipping imo. And then you have Gansey/Noah parallelisms re: their deaths and also the Whelk/Noah Gansey/Adam as foils part, and Blue and Noah being the two chars (besides maybe Henry which is a little different) who understand Gansey best which includes understanding his suicidality … there’s just a lot there that’s interesting imo and certain links between all three dynamics so that’s the perspective from which I enjoy it mostly.

My opinion on their canon potential (chemistry, canon interactions, etc): well Bluesey are canon and have plenty of chemistry imo, and I answered Blue x Noah already. I’m not going to say I think Gansey/Noah chemistry ranks high in terms of Gansey’s male friendships I do think it probably is the least homoerotic of them but like. There’s A Lot of competition to be fair. And there are moments (particularly the TRK scene where Gansey is swimming) that feel that way even if it’s less than other dynamics.

My opinion on fanon interpretations/fandom around it (Favorite widespread hcs, pet-peeves, etc): again mostly that I would like more exploration of it

[Late] Cutie

Title: Cutie Ship: Late (Nate/Procrastination&Logan) Warnings: Cuteness. Words: 1,110 Request: So this was a Kiss AU list request that was requested by @romantichopelessly for a present for getting lots of stuff done with her Botwot AU: 21. Kiss on a dare.

Summary: Logan, a hopeless gay, falls into Roman’s trap and is given a dare that could change everything.

Read on AO3

-----------------------------------------------

Logan sighed as he readjusted his glasses for what had to be the fifth time in the last ten minutes. He was lucky his friends’ attention was focused entirely on their game of Truth-or-Dare or they would definitely have noticed that something was up.

The thing was that Logan was only readjusting his glasses so much as a way to hide the fact that he was most definitely staring at someone.

That someone?

Well, Logan didn’t know… exactly.

He knew his name was Nate but had not found out a last name and he was pretty sure that the guy was a year older than him. Other than that? No clue.

“Campfire nights and firefly lights” for fake titles

moxiety, summer camp au, pure fluff - just a series of vignettes of virgil and patton quietly pining over each other over the course of the summer while long-suffering logince and dukeceit make fun of them about it

culminating in a camping trip in which virgil and patton share a tnt and the other four do the prank where you drag the inflatable mattress onto the lake and set them floating and moxiety has a very giggly and exaperated time trying to get back to shore in their pajamas without losing any blankets

which they fail at, get soaked, and have a cute little swimmy kiss in the water

send me a fake fic title and i’ll tell you what i’d write for it!

(i may write these, but feel free to take them as prompts anyway - two cakes!)

hey this is really really specific but I need it for reasons.... can I have any and all screenshots you have of Roman with his hands up to his temples/face? Like when he apologizes to Logan at the end of DWIT

These are the ones I currently have!

Remy/Thomas and the word steady, please?

“i’ve never been the type to go steady, babes,” remy says, running his thumb over thomas’s hand. “i’ve always been the one-night-stand go-with-the-flow kind of guy. but you . . . you make me question everything about myself in the best way possible. you make me want to be steady. you make me want to protect you, to make you happy and warm and safe in a way i’ve never wanted to keep anyone before. tommy, i . . .”

remy drops to one knee. “thomas . . . marry me?”

thomas barely stops laughing long enough to say yes before attaching his mouth to remy’s.

Thank you so much! 💗

I’m a huge multi-shipper who loves polyships and this was such a fun pairing to write! I’m glad you felt like I did it justice.

Prompt 3 + a trc duo !! (I can’t choose)

I decided this prompt fit Chengsey better than any other dynamic, and it did get slightly longer than expected so I posted straight to ao3 and tagged you hope that is okay <3. https://archiveofourown.org/works/58989496

Your tags on that sparia post have me going insane. do we think the gangsey could unmask A? the important questions

Lol! For context those tags were actually a reference to a Sparia TRB au I’m trying to write where Aria is Blue, Spencer is Gansey, Emily is Adam (part of this is because I’m also convinced Spemily could do Adansey—) haven’t fleshed out Ronan’s part in this as much but he’s vaguely Hanna. Melissa is obviously Helen and this way I get to write Melissa hitting on Emily and Spencer being mad/jealous about it, and obviously Spencer and Aria meet when Spencer is trying to set up Emaria who could do Bluedam (definitely want to get a version of that canon ~are you expecting me to change the tire because I’m gay? ~ no, but your the sporty one exchange into it somehow but change the specifics obviously) anyway! Onto the actual question:

If you put trc chars in the plot of early pll it’s interesting because I think Gansey is the char most suited to the dead girl role for obvious reasons, and I also think Adam is a bit Mona coded so I could see an au where Gansey disappeared pre series and Adam had never had that roadside conversation with him that changed his life and so kept having an obsessive hate crush on him (like Mona with Alison), pulled a full Mona and kept an A lair with pictures of Gansey everywhere and plotted to get rid of him…. orchestrating something where he gets to pull Gansey out of a grave and comfort him at the Lost Woods for a night then panic and manipulate him to leave town. There is of course a gaping hole in this idea because Gansey isn’t going to bully Adam to make this even a little justified… maybe you could make this an au Gansey who didn’t have the wasp death incident happen to him and therefore grew up to be a little more Whelk-esque like Maggie said he would be then but I think then he’d be less kind but still not go out of his way to hurt people. So maybe there is a big misunderstanding of some sort like Adam thinks Gansey spread certain rumors about him and that’s why he’s being treated poorly at Aglionby or something but when Gansey is confused about this and then warm to him he panics about *feelings* and convinces Gansey to leave town and fake his death. Of course for Gansey to be willing to leave he needs to already want to on some level, which is tricky if he’s already friends with Ronan… maybe this is an au where Niall didn’t die but he and Aurora are on the brink of separating or just divorced because Niall was cheating on her with another blonde woman maybe she’s his student…. so basically Gansey and Ronan are still Insane about each other but not at the level of codependency they were at in trc since part of that was traumabonding (I just need a reason for this to work)… so I imagine in some ways this Gansey is lonelier than he is in canon and he is already sometimes quite lonely in canon Cordelia voice I can be surrounded by people and still be completely alone … anyway he also thinks someone wants to kill him, and this Gansey has less of a death wish. So in his absence Henry Ronan and Noah who are his circle of friends are mourning him and grow apart a bit. I’m unsure if I want to recreate a version of the vandermarin dynamic here at first I thought maybe you could have that with Pynch but I don’t think any version of Ronan is going to be receptive into being molded into a version of Gansey the way Hanna was because Ronan and Blue are chars who are very authentically them and I don’t see them being into wearing masks of other people’s faces over their own or purposefully making their personalities malleable in the way characters like Adam or Gansey or Mona or Alison or Hanna tend to do. So that’s out, maybe if we keep the Mona transforming one of Alison’s friends to wear her skin with her / be the new Alison with her it could be Noah since he’s more timid and likely to be in the shadows, even if he’s more energetic here like he was when he was alive. So then Noah is Adam’s first real friend, and when he starts getting closer to the others again Adam is jealous and brings on the A games where he pretends to be Gansey in a way… then Blue turns up as the new girl (they don’t go to an all boys school here) and Noah starts falling for her which ups the stakes even more!

Oh I know I got off topic I think Adam would be A in a pll au was my main thing. Also I’m trying to think of a version of this where someone other than Gansey dies or disappears at the start I just can’t get there, I mean I guess Kavinsky?? But he doesn’t have the Gansey/Alison power of making everyone talk about him like they’re in love post mortum and that’s really essential to the text… Kavinsky could be Jenna maybe but not Alison. I guess you could have Henry be Mona because he wants into the group and his hate crush on Gansey could also lend itself to these themes… so that’s the route to go for non A Adam I think is Henry as A. and then the essential group dynamics are a bit closer to the canon ones with Adam taking leadership over mystery stuff (in the alternate it that would be Henry!) in Gansey’s absence, and be like my ideal version of TRK that had a whole section about the other chars between Gansey’s death/disappearance and his return…I do think either way A gets unmasked but in the latter I think Henry will be forgiven pretty quickly by Gansey if not by anyone else, like I said for the former idea to work Gansey would need to be a slightly colder version of himself although still not an Alison at all in terms of meanness… so think it would take longer. Whichever way you slice it there is perfectionists au potential afterwards it just depends on whether it’s Adansey or Chengsey who go to Beacon Hill.

I clearly went on a little mental journey there lol but it was fun thank you for the ask <3
