Did a thing for @thetauruspixie!
Check out their amazing fic Madness Within. :)

Fanfic ask meme: U!
Aww, Cy! And you said *I* ask the hard questions…
U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
Well, peeps, IT’S PROMOTION TIME!!!!!(Fair warning, these are going to be in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom, sorry if you’re looking for a good author outside that fandom.)
1. @baneismydragon, you can find her on AO3 here.
First of all, Bane has a LOT of stories, and it’s fantastic to find an author with a lot of content to consume. Secondly, the stories have fun and unique concepts with them, and a nice level of snark. I love me some playful snarkiness. Plus, just such amazing fluff. Something about Bane’s writing voice always gets my heart racing during the action or romance scenes. Wonderful! My personal favorite is “And The Name For Your Order Is?”
2. @edendaphne, you can find her on AO3 here.
I was first drawn to her - excuse the pun - because of her illustrations. She was doing collabs with some great writers, such as Maerynn, and her illustrations always added an extra layer to the writing. But then Eden started writing on her own, and it’s just as fantastic. In her first solo story - Discordant Sonata - actually includes a sort of playlist within the writing, since the story focuses on music. She starts each scene with a link to mood music, and it really enhances the experience.
3. @midnightstarlightwrites, you can find her on AO3 here.
I actually found her via fanart drawn for her story Smoulder, and it is very much deserved. She tends to write aged-up ML stories so she can also include more adult themes. And let me tell you, she’s suuuuuper good at getting that heart racing with some steamy scenes ranging from major pent up tension up to softcore foreplay. The humor is also pretty on-point as well, which is great way to break the tension.
So those are officially my three, but you didn’t really think I’d end there, do you?
4. @thetauruspixie, you can find her on FFN here, and she’s starting to build up stories over on AO3 here.
She tends to write darker themes in her stories. She also has multiple projects going at the same time, so it’s fairly easy to find one that you’ll like and will update fairly regularly. She also writes epics, so you can enjoy your favorite story for a while. The one I’m currently following is Chat Vert, which is about Chat Noir’s jealousy once Luka comes onto the scene.
5. @buggachat, you can find her on AO3 here.
I started following her here on Tumblr after seeing the wonderful mini-stories she shared via her fancomics. Just like with Bane, Bug has fantastic comedic timing and just the right level of snark. Bug is still fairly new with the non-visual storytelling element of fanfics, but the concepts are so delightfully unique and truly delves into character exploration. I’m following her multi-chapter story Curiosity Wrote a Comic, which explores the emotional ramifications to Marinette and Adrien reading a fancomic that takes a fairly dark turn.
6. @chibisunnie, you can find her on AO3 here.
Finally moving away from my fandom, I met Chibi when we collabed on a (sadly abandoned) “Hey, Arnold!: The Jungle Movie” fanscript as a means to help encourage Nickelodeon to greenlight the project. Since then, we’ve kind of moved away from each other’s fandoms, but I still love reading Chibi’s works. Even though I don’t know the stories or the characters, I’m still emotionally invested. She focuses on the sort of background couples of stories; the ones that tend to be forgotten about in fanfics. She also keeps her writing fairly clean, so it’s just wonderfully wholesome. Finally, she usually focuses on gay relationships, including the struggles of finally coming out of the closet. Along those lines, I really enjoyed her Andi Mack story “Aren’t You Happy For Andi?” (It does include a spoiler from the season 2 premiere)
7. @cyhyr, you can find her on AO3 here.
Even though she’s the one who asked, how could I forget my girl Cyhyr? Just like Chibi, Cy doesn’t write in any of my fandoms, but that’s fine. She writes the characters in a way that you don’t need to know the fandom to care about the story. The characters are real and raw and in such need of cuddles all the time. She does like her some hurt/comfort. She mostly writes in the FFXV fandom, rotating between the Big Four: Ignis, Prompto, Noctis, and Gladiolus. I think my favorite story is Choice, mostly because of the subversion of the Soulmates trope.
Now, can I be a little self-indulgent here and include myself? Does that sound arrogant? I dunno, I just think you should enjoy your own work, ya know? “Write for you” and all that?
You can find me on FFN here, and on AO3 here (and if you’re truly desperate, I even post on DA here).
Of course, my pride and joy is my first completed multi-chapter story: Peeping Tomcat. However, I also really love my one-shot Build Your Own Luck, simply because this is now my headcanon as to where The BraceletTM came from. My Lukanette story I Was Thinking Of You also has a special spot in my heart.
I tend to write as close to true-to-show as possible, and I’ve had a lot of reviews telling me it’s like reading an episode script. I am kind of obsessive with keeping the characters as in-character as possible, and keeping the facts as canonical as I can.
OKAY! Long post is long! Thanks for the ask, Cyhyr! And thanks for everyone for indulging me. Love you all, and feel free to drop me an ask.

My thoughts on what to do for my reading challenge this year
Whew. It’s no wonder it kept me all day - off and on - to write!
Buckle up.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
The Epiphany is also called “Little Christmas” so it’s totally cool that I’m still working on a Christmas story, right?
The third chapter of “Woven Heartstrings” just went live, and apparently I had more of this story to tell than I originally thought!
You can find it on AO3, on FFN, and on DA
Woven Heartstrings
Summary: Chat Noir needs a Christmas gift for Ladybug. Marinette is a very crafty and creative person, so Chat Noir asks her for some help in making a gift for his lady. While hesitant in aiding Chat Noir’s attempts to woo her superhero self, Marinette reluctantly agrees. Although, after a week of working side-by-side with Marinette, Chat Noir’s not so sure he wants to gift the scarf he’s making to Ladybug after all.
Status: Chapters 3 of ? (yeah, I dunno anymore)
Ships: MariChat with hints of LadyNoir and Adrienette
Rating: K / General Audiences
Universe: This story DOES NOT take place in the “It’s You” universe along with “Peeping Tomcat.”
Woven Heartstrings
Found on: AO3, FFN, and DA
I did it. I figured out a title, and now the first chapter of my latest story is up.
Coming up with a title was SOOOOOO hard, but when I woke up this morning my Dictionary.com app helped me out. I get an alert at about 8am every day with the Word of the Day. Today’s word? Heartstrings
That was it. It fit perfectly for the theme(s) of my story. It had multiple layers of meaning once the whole story is read.
Buuuuuuut, there’s already a popular ML story by taylortot called Heartstrings. I didn’t want to ride the coattails of that story; possibly stealing readers from it if they didn’t know who wrote Heartstrings, but heard it was good. (Side note: I just added it to my Read Later list)
So, after about 2 more hours of pondering, I came up with the above title. I’m pretty proud of it.
Without further ado, I present
Merry Christmas, @thetauruspixie, and thank you yet again for gifting me “Twelve Days of Chatmas” (*cough*everyone should read this*cough*).

Latest Writing Blog Post Up
Super late posting this week (you can blame @cyhyr and her husband for that. They stopped by this morning and distracted me. ;) ) I did just about everything BUT writing this week! So I'm making up for it by promoting Celeste Straub's new book, and the fanfic by @thetauruspixie that I just read, and the fact that @edendaphne is drawing me a commission of my OC Willow Driver from the X-Future board.
You can check out all the details for these fantastic artists on my blog:
