I think I finally cracked it?
I'm so afraid of coming back to Tumblr bc i came back for TMA in the first place after many years of absence, and I started two (now three) long form projects that are incredibly important to me... So now I'm scared of even taking a glimpse at New Things™ for fear of moving on before I finish these projects this sucks lmao I miss it here
The whole "Jon couldn't kill Helen until she actually lied to him" interaction was so evocative of lie... Fairy laws of hospitality to me. She had established rules (she doesn't lie, just twists the truth, and she most definitely doesn't lie to Jon), and her domain is her, so of course those rules applied there. When she broke them, she lost whatever protection she had, even in the space she controlled. I'll leave it for someone else to analyze it but I loved it.
Ehhh I know I haven't been here in forever, sorry y'all. Tumblr is my prize for when I actually sit down and write my original thing and since that hasn't happened in a while well...
I miss you all tho!
"If Sasha was the archivist the world would have never ended she would've seen through Elias' plan"
Sorry but if anything, Archivist!Sasha would have resulted in an Eyepocalypse speedrun, this woman went and threw herself into danger with maybe even more reckless abandon as Jon.
tagged by @dheiress to post the first line of my last 20 fics
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 other authors!
Decided to keep it to TMA stories so I don’t have 20 published stories, but there we go:
1 - Illicio: The Eye thrives on knowledge, of course. On understanding. Not necessarily on moving the pieces across the board -that's the Spider's domain, though perhaps that's why they work so well together, one knowing exactly where pawn needs to be to strike the king, the other moving it forward with the slightest pull of a string- but on seeing all details, and predicting all outcomes.
2 - Not broken (Nor bent): It is not, of course, that Gerry doesn't believe in love. Not when his entire life has been marked, positively filled to the brim with it.
3 - I'll tell you all how the story ends (it ain't about all the friends you've made): There's a case missing at the London Police's headquarters.
4 - Would that I were golden dust: His father's daemon is named Agape, and she's a black Belgian shepherd whose tail never stops wagging. She loves napping with his mother's daemon, and often bounces around him like a puppy, trying to get him to play with her.
5 - Dream a little dream of me: It's still early when Agnes climbs up the steps of the Charing Cross station and out into the street. Overkill perhaps, but she wanted to get a head start and catch it from the beginning.
6 - A listening ear: It's weird being back home. What's weirder though, is being back home without Jon.
7 - What do you want to be when you’re older?: "So you're quitting?"
8 - Please don't utilize the product in any other way not specified by the packing: “Ger, love… I don’t think that’s a recommended use for that.” Martin tries one last time, because he loves this man, and that means he should try to save him from himself.
9 - Hold me, kiss me (love me): It’s a pretty nice date, all things considered. Dinner at a small italian restaurant, a scoop of gelato each, and back to Jon and Gerry’s flat for a movie or a documentary, which is the stage they are currently at.
10 - My heart like an empty cathedral, waiting for someone to come down to pray: The haunting is anatomical. It runs in his veins like his mother's blood, like his father's pain, like the bone-deep weariness of all his ancestors -she was always so proud of her so claimed bloodline- that now drags down his every step.
11 - Get to know your lips on mine: He hasn't had Jon in his bedroom in a while.
12 - Kiss it better: It's three forty five in the morning when Gerry gets to the flat, so he figures he has a good chance of sneaking in unnoticed. He turns the key carefully until the door clicks open, then pushes it open, cursing under his breath at the squeaking of the hinges.
13 - Happiness is what you build out of debris: The first time Gertrude walks up to the orphanage, she very nearly spins on her heel and goes back the way she came. She never wanted children and this is nothing but a lonely woman looking for a new purpose to dedicate her life to.
14 - We fit together (in a too-small bed): The door to the bedroom is ajar when Jon finally gets to the flat, but he doesn't pay it much mind. Either one of them forgot to close it this morning when they left for work, or Gerry -who hates sleeping in closed rooms- is taking a nap.
15 - Two sugars, please: "I'm leaving early today," Martin calls into the office as he sorts his unfinished paperwork into his desk's drawers; nothing too bad or too serious, he'll deal with it tomorrow before lunch.
16 - Horny lonelyeyes drabbles: He's still James Wright when he first meets Peter Lukas, but only barely so, and only because Elias Bouchard is not yet ripe for the picking.
I think my personal favorite is #10. That fic remains one of my favorites up to date and it kinda surprises me that it didn’t do so well lol, but it holds a special place in my heart. The only pattern I see is that my first lines tend to be establishing sentences? Who are these people, what are they doing?
What got my attention the most though is that someone NEEDS to get my titles under control omg.
Tagging @mllekurtz and @mamaclownhunter
On one hand, I have a little story I could polish a little and post, and I'd just be slightly late to both GerryWeek and AceSpectrumWeek.
On the other hand:
Sometimes he looks so pretty and regal he can almost convince you he has more than half a braincell ❤️❤️
