Heyy Kit! The "fanfic end of the year asks" look like so much fun (I might hop on the train myself, hehe) 😁 I'm curious to hear more about 11, 14 and 23 please! ✨️

hey Tori! thanks for sending an end of the year fic ask🥂 i saw you hopped on indeed and i'll send you one right back hehe ♥️

11. fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year

if we're talking fandom and not characters (bc i'd have trouble ranking those, ngl), then i'd have to say yuri on ice! i recently posted 2 one shots for my lil ice nerds in love that were prompted by friends, and it's both mindblowing and heartwarming to me that even so long after canon ended, there's still engagement to content that's being produced by and for that fandom. like, in the grand scheme of things i know i'm not doing huge numbers here, but i still got significantly more comments on these short stories than i did on my latest [multichap update + 2 other most recent] levihan fics put together?? thanks, yoi pals, it's been very motivating 🩵

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write

oh, OH, heaven is a place on earth, hands down! i've had that idea forever but for another ship; i also had a similar-ish AU idea for levihan but wrote it out entirely and ended up keeping for myself bc it's just.. meh. now, this fic was born of a totally unexpected creativity burst that the first levihan weekend event sparked, and i'm sooo excited for where it's going next!! 😁😁

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

okay, hang on. does that mean like, all the WIPs i worked on but didn't finish? Tori, we'd be here for days...

look, i'm just gonna pick one for each of my main fandom, mmkay? here we go:

a canonverse but with omegaverse elements fic

a perks of being a wallflower AU

a post-canon continuation fic

i am not saying which fic is for which fandom; ig that'll be a surprise for whenever i'm done with them! 🤭

Hii, I'm here for the mix and match ask game! ✨️ What about 5d and 8c? 😊

Hiii! Thanks for the ask!

5d: Which of your fics is the funniest? What is your favourite line or excerpt from it?

I don't have many funny fics now that I think of it (turns out I have a thing for angst haha). I think I'll go with Bathed In Moonlight, purely because me and my friends have been quoting the "your hair is, like, black" line nearly every day since I wrote it. That line might honestly be my favourite one 😄

BUT I shall praise my own self and point out the first paragraph describing Hange's hands. That analysis came to me one random day in the library and I'd been desperately trying to find somewhere to add it since then. (It was even almost added to the titan hange au at one point!)

Anyway, here's part of the excerpt:

"Her hands are steady, yes, and she has learned to be moderately careful when handling chemicals in her lab, mostly to avoid Moblit's anxious hovering. But her touch is not gentle. It's overexcited shoves and pulls, and angry punches. Her hands are meant to explore, to help her satiate her burning curiosity for everything around her. They are rough and calloused and littered with countless well earned scars, each one gained with a new story to tell and new knowledge to share."

8c: Which of your fics did you spend the most amount of time writing? What do you think makes it deserving of love?

I am assuming unfinished works count as cheating, so I think I have to say All Alone and a-lowly, which I'd stayed up until like 3am writing.

Though, if we're talking about longer works, chapter one of my Levihan Malevolent AU took me literal weeks to write and I'm still slowly working through chapter 2. Turns out I'm not great with commitment 😄

As for the second part of the question, well, they are my creations and I will cherish them. I really think I did a good job with the descriptions in the first one. And the malevolent au has been plaguing my dreams ever since I first conceived the idea, so I figure it must be shared with the world

Written for Levihan Secret Santa 2024!

Merry Christmas @storiesofaot I'm so sorry that your santa (me) is late to the party... I got lost (in the process). But worry not, for I HAVE COME. No, but seriously, I'm really sorry for the delay!

I hope you like the gift!! Happy reading :)

Read it here

A huge thank you for @levihanweek and @alemanriq for organizing this event! Sending you lots of kisses!

[this-is-krikkit]

Hii Kit! Hope your weekend went well ✨️

For the ship ask game, would you like to tell us more about 6 and 15 for Levihan, please? 🙌🏼

hey Tori! it went okay, how about yours?

thank you for sending a ship ask!

6. a song you think of for this ship?

i'm sure i've said it before on here, i mean, i wrote an entire fic based on just how levihan that song is, but i'm still gonna spell it out: atlantis by seafret. the general feel of the song, the lyrics that imo perfectly reflect how they must have felt, both of them, about their relationship esp during the second part of season 4 when they fought against the chaos the world descended into then, which led to.... UGHHHH DONT TOUCH ME 😭😭

15. one to three AUs you would like to see explored with this ship?

you know, my approach to fandom (and life in general, i'm ngl) is that if i want something done, i try and do it myself. so, whenever i think of an AU i'd like to see any of my ships in, i open a new draft doc and get to work. which is why it's so hard to answer this, i'm sorry!

i will say that the first thing that popped into my head is a figure skating/yuri on ice kind of AU (which is to blame on the season's calendar, as the isu's gpf is set for next weekend) for them, which i've posted the first part of already! i would certainly love to see it explored more by my own brain, but it's currently too busy with other wips apparently x)

[this-is-krikkit]

Hii Kit! I really hope you feel better soon and that the fever goes down 🫶🏼✨️ For the "simple asks," what about 5, 8 and 11?

Toriiiii hi, thank you for playing and for the well wishes! i hope it does too and soon lmao, and i hope you're well!

5. what's your drink of choice? (coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc)

nigella+ginger+lemon green tea with honey! i've recently found out about it, it's deliciously spicy and sweet and everything i currently need and usually love!! i'm addicted hehe

8. favorite month of the year and why?

ooh you know what, i think it'd be a tie between october and february. i love the beginning of fall in october, the reds and browns that turn golden in the late afternoon light of still long-ish days, the occasional raining that makes the streets a little less crowded and a little more enjoyable. february is particularly lovely bc where i live it's usually cold with the sun shining anyway, giving you that dry cold that chills you to the bone if you're not properly dressed but completely clears your mind (and sinuses) if you remembered to zip up your coat, and hey, it might even properly snow during that month here!! also, it's the one winter month where you finally get to enjoy the city without the holidays/new year pressure crushing you x)

11. what kind of music is stuck in your head a lot lately?

i'm currently rotating these 3:

les ogres by Solann

actor by Conan Gray

every you every me by Placebo (for levihan fic related reasons, might i add)

and i've also been getting back into Myrath's music lately, so if you can get a "kind" of music out of this mess, let me know! lmao

👉 send me some random asks!

[this-is-krikkit]

Heyy Kit, hope your Friday was good! ✨️

I'm here for the "Fic Writer Ask Game" - I'd be curious about 12, 15, and 26, if you don't mind? 😇

hey Tori, it was! thanks for the ask, i hope the beginning to your weekend went well ☺️

still answering those fic writer asks if you wanna!

12. a trope you’re really into right now

i think that would have to be mutual pining, although i'm not sure it's fair to say "right now" since that's kind of always been my thing and all my blorbos are idiots about their feelings x) i guess childhood friends to more would be more of a recent hyperfixation for multiple ships?

15. favorite weather for writing

okay, it doesn't really happen anymore where i live because of climate change, but snowing would be my honest pick! and answering this just reminded me that one of the very the first times i ever wrote anything, i was actually stuck inside because it was snowing and my then-passion for rollerblading was, according to my mother (and the fall i'd taken i think like the day before, that woman had arguments i'm ngl) incompatible with such weather. i was angry and frustrated not to be trusted to be out, so i sat at my desk near the window sulking and playing games on the family computer, and then i had an idea and wrote it down to pass the time.. and so yeah. writing in that peaceful kind quiet that snow brings along is a really unique feeling.

26. are you able to write with other people around?

able, yes. comfortable, no x) with the exception of my fiancée, not many people know i write, and she's the only one i trust to know but not ask me questions about it or distract me right when i'm in full focus (i let her know when i'm like in the zone and she leaves me in my bubble unless she needs me for smth urgent). i will do it around other people if i like physically can't stop myself, but i'll be uncomfortable the entire time 🥺

also, if cats count, i'm going to have to say i'm unable to presently because the crazy energized kitten i recently adopted doesn't really make it possible as she thinks my fingers moving over the keyboard are just me playing with her, and makes me type random shit (when she doesnt make me accidentally delete entire fics aqhfkjgdmlkyh) in the process 😂

[this-is-krikkit]

Hii Kit! I really hope your little fur baby will be okay, sending lots of well wishes 🥺

For the fandom ask game, what about 13 and 22 (for Hange), if that's okay? ☀️

hi Tori, thanks for playing and for the well wishes! i'll know more in a couple of days 🤞🥺 i hope you're doing good ♥️

send me some fandom asks!

13. what's a character or ship you haven't written yet but would like to some day?

ooooh that is a good question. i think the most obvious reply would be Onyankopon, although that's cheating a little bit bc i have written some stuff from his POV, i just haven't posted them (i've included him in recent fics like right as rain or your mind is playing tricks on you my dear, but nothing technically from his pov so i'm not counting it for this).

i should probably delve into the 104th kids a little bit more, too, but i just... i don't feel as connected to them as i do the veterans, i'm sorry 🫣 and it doesn't help that i don't ship most popular ships for them either i think x) (eremika is kind of a notp of mine, and so is aruani so... yeah.)

22. give us a headcanon for Hange

i was going to say that that's a bit too vague of a request, but since you added that little ☀️ emoji, i'm gonna give you some modern AU summer hc i have for them!!

they're annoyingly bad at taking care of their own skin and will forget to apply sunscreen unless reminded. until they get with Levi and discover the Perks of having him rub it on.... then suddenly they're obsessed with it and reminding everyone to apply it as frequently as possible 😁

in group holidays, they're the one who finds a thousand activities to do and packs the days with a tight schedule that fits as much of everyone's likes as possible. by day like 2 or 3, their friends are too tired to keep it up though, and demand to pick between stuff instead of trying to satisfy everyone. although Hange doesn't mind the rhythm at all, they're able to listen and adjust accordingly

by the way, i did specify activities. Hange does not have any responsibility in picking the place they stay at or booking the flights (they have to be reminded by Levi to pack the night before the trip because they forgot the date, so. yeah.)

they don't mind the heat that much apart from clothing logistics that can be tricky with their gender expression at times, and their loved ones will have to beg them to stop hugging them all the time. which is puzzling to them like, it's already hot, what's a little hug going to change?? and how else are they meant to show their love??? 🥺🥺

the answer to that question is by cooking delicious meals every night they don't eat out, with local ingredients and recipes! because Hange doesn't go anywhere without doing research on the place beforehand, they're already familiar with some customs and endlessly curious about others. by the end of the vacation some locals are genuinely sad to see them go (for weeks after, the daily market is almost too quiet without them there)

cutting down on activities and running more cold than hot are two very valid reasons Levi doesn't get a minute of peace whenever the two of them are on their own, by the way. he'll complain about it any chance he gets... and love every second of it 😏

[this-is-krikkit]

Hii Kit! I hope it's still okay to send a "mix and match" ask 😇 What about 5a and 6d (and maybe 6g as well, if two letters for one number are allowed?) 😁

hey Tori! it's always okay, thanks for sending a mix and match fic ask!

5. which of your fics is the funniest? + a. what is something you wish more people noticed about it?

i can't keep talking about this crack crossover fic of mine like i have for the past questions, so instead i'll pick Entropy, second part of a friends to lovers university AU where Levihan and the snk vets are roommates.

and i honestly can't think of anything people might have missed, as that fic kind of ties the knots i'd left in the first part!

6. which of your fics is the most serious? + d. what is your favorite line or excerpt from it? + g. which section was most difficult to write?

idk about most serious, but lose was definitely a touchy fic to write that took me a minute (btw do check out the tags on it before reading it), and that i only felt comfortable posting because i surrounded it with similarly angst-filled fics in a series i wrote as a reply to a silly prompt.

fave line:

He buries his face into their neck and inhales deeply, trying to anchor himself in this moment parts of him can't believe is reality, the deafeningly loud thrumming of their neck vessels pumping blood as fast as his own heartbeat battling with the dying, yielding whispers at the back of his mind. “You're good enough, Levi,” they add directly against the shell of his ear.

most difficult part: honestly? the entire fic. but i guess, even more so the first part (up until the divider line).
