from this wip game lets see if i can find a snippet i havent shared with you yet lol
Basically, this fic is about Tali going to Wrex about seeing Shepard after Freedom's Progress and then in the middle of them hunting down Shepard, Tali gets called back to do the Haestrom mission and she just... brings Wrex along for it
The age discussion dialogue is pulled from a real conversation lmao
The quarian squad leader stares at him. He blinks once, then twice before turning back to Tali. “When you said you were bringing a friend, I didn’t expect Urdnot Wrex.”
“You know each other?”
Reegar eyes him. “By reputation.”
“Oh fuck, did he try and kill you or something?” Wrex scowls at Tali at her question.
“What? No, no, nothing like that. We were just in the same industry.” Both he and Tali remain silent in response. “I was a bounty hunter during my Pilgrimage. A couple years ago.”
“A couple?” Tali incredulously asks.
“Well,” Reegar shifts his feet. “Yeah? Why are you so surprised? How old do you think I am?”
“Thirty-nine?” Tali offers right as Wrex suggests, “sixty?” just to be an ass.
There’s a second of silence from him before Reegar shouts, “what!?” Tali starts silently laughing at his side. “No! That’s— that’s not even close!” His head shakes with incredulity. “You know,” he settles his hands on his hips and leans a bit closer to Tali. “Normally people guess younger, was that younger?”
“Yeah, are you like forty-five?” He yelps a little in response, jerking back, and Tali doubles over, hand resting on Wrex’s arm. Reegar just stares.
I think that is the one you are doing inspired by different movies you loved? What are some scenes/vibes you look forward to re-creating?
Betty! Thank you so much for asking about it! I've been so ready to tell people all about it, but I've been trying to ease into it and be sneaky!
So yes. [Redacted] is from my series of many a fic inspired by movies I love and this first one is Steve! I haven't posted officially which one yet, but I'm sure it's becoming obvious 😅
Ask me about my wips & help motivate me!
Details below the cut:
This one is actually inspired by two movies, there's SO much in this that I can't wait to share! The vibes I'm looking forward to enhancing and celebrating are for sure: summer: the setting. the heat (literally and figuratively). the music. the pressure a seaon brings. - enemies/strangers to lovers: heavy on the "I find you so unbearable and I loathe you, no I loathe you" kind of energy.
There's a scene involving a party and watermelon, that will have a twist with the songs I've picked - Bust A Move by Young MC and Need You Tonight by INXS that I've loved playing around with
Also a scene involving a bar & a fight that I've taken some liberties with using the "cowboy hat rule" and the song Hurts So Good by John Mellencamp.
I've said too much 🤫 can you tell I'm bursting with excitement?
Okay, beautiful. For WIP Wednesday. I'd like the word hands for BICFTF, [Redacted], and You Got That Somethin'. Please and thank you. P.s. - Can't wait for any of them. I'm already in loooooove. -Amanda xoxoxo
weeee Amanda! Thank you so much for asking for these, I can't wait to share the whole of each and I'm excited to hear what you think of them! 💛 Can you guys guess which "She's Seen All the Classics" [Redacted] is yet? 😏
ask me about my wips and help motivate me!
sneak peeks below the cut!
BICFTF - chapter three (hehehe I haven't even posted two but I'm too excited):
Your hands rest against the silk over your thighs, thumb catching on a loose thread of the skirt that you are indebted to now.
Because, if you instead search for where the gift from the universe begins, that brain space cannot be occupied by trying to catch the titles on the cassette tapes he’s quickly shoving into the glove compartment, or how there’s two coffees in his cupholders next to your elbow. Focusing perhaps on, how the snag happened in your skirt could even make it so you don’t think about how, somehow, the leather of the seats and the coffee in such a tight space only make his normal scent of something minty and woodsy better and-
“Before you ask, no it’s not poisoned, and no, this isn’t me trying to woo you or whatever.”
[Redacted]:
Your hands slide down the gray leather of the wheel then back up, fingers tapping along to the beat of the song you’d nudged lowered as your wheels came to a stop on the gravel.
You’d nudged lower, somewhat, that is.
The knock to the roof of your beetle doesn’t even startle you, only makes you sigh and call out the open window, “Was I speeding, officer?”
“Playing that music a little loud, don’t you think?” Gruff voice accompanied by a deep sigh of an exhale expelling annoyance and tobacco into the air with each step closer.
Red lips pursed in your rearview mirror as the lyric shouted out of your speakers: “The girl is crafty like ice is cold!” and you quipped, “Thought it was a little too quiet for what the boys require, if I’m being honest sir.”
You Got That Somethin':
Something hot travels down your spine when your hands catch her waist before she can take another step.
The small band of her skin between white cotton and denim exposed to your fingers and practically daring you to swipe your thumbs over her.
And you’ve never backed down from a dare before.
Something about the way your thumb feels against her skin, the way she leans into the touch has you brave enough to tilt your head, pout your lips she can’t stop staring at, and ask, “What if he comes back? I think you should stay close.”
🌙 Eclipse - What's the most common / reoccurring theme of your WIP(s)?
I'm not sure, really? Family and belonging are probably the most common. They seem to crop up regularly, though I think that's likely because I mostly write buddie at the moment, and I think the themes of both family and belonging and the way those two concepts intertwine are integral to both Buck and Eddie and would, therefore, be integral to any relationship development they may have. So they feel like necessary themes for me.
🌊 Tsunami - When and where do you like to write?
This one depends. If I'm in the states, I like to write on my phone while sitting out on our back patio with the dogs. I especially like to write at night and/or when it's chilly. I've found the snow storms in the evenings lately has been inspiring.
When I'm in Korea, I tend to write best midday on weekends or late at night (technically early in the morning) while lying in bed.
I almost always write on my phone, and I'm always most productive when I'm supposed to be doing literally anything else.
🌬 Wind - What was the easiest part of your WIP to write?
Honestly, this depends heavily on which WIP, but to try to cover them all, it's usually whatever scene idea inspired the fic. I write out of order, so I'll usually start in with the scene that inspired things and then start filling in other parts. Really, it's any scene that I feel actively inspired to write because of the content of the scene itself (as opposed to the desire to finish or fill in pieces).
