Alchemy Details

AO3:https://archiveofourown.org/works/73950976 Updates: 📅 Sunday — 5pm EST 📅 Thursday — 11pm EST

Summary:

Blazing fire and smoldering ash, two sides of the same coin. Fire can both destroy and sustain life. Steadfast earth, unyielding and eternal, holds the power to guide the flames. Soothing water, a balm for the wounded soul, maintains a delicate balance between destruction and creation.

However, one cannot simply create whatever they desire through alchemy. The laws of equal exchange must be followed. Alchemy is not mere magic, but a sacred and disciplined art of transmutation.   A fragile truce may be present now, but it was not easily achieved. The shadows of our enemies linger, ominous and menacing, ready to engulf us once more if we falter. Can we break the chains of our past and forge a daunting yet promising future?

Or will the flames of war consume us all?

Ch 1 and 2 Teasers:

“If you can’t satisfy me…” I let the silence stretch until it hums between us, then tilt my head, voice dropping half an octave. “…I’ll just go find Captain Levi when we’re done.”

“Then call me Levi,” he says, fingers on my jaw. “I left my rank at the door.”

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

As an author I am so tired of people minimizing my work or plots because I write erotica. I get if it's not for you. That's fine man...but I still spent hours making this scene legible, hot, and accurate to my characters. Erotica is a legitimate genre and it doesn't have to be self-contained without plot.

Let the characters be human bro. Let them fuck. Do weird shit together. You know why? humans are fucking weird.

i mean I COULD narrate my life flatly... But if we aren't the main characters of OUR story…when will we be?

a writer’s struggle

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

fanfic writers deserve better

if we post too fast, we get accused of using ai (no, you don't know how fast someone can write. you don't even know if the "too-frequent-to-be-human updates" you see are something that have long been finished and sitting in an author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted, doesn't necessarily always mean it's recently written too. a lot of writers finish the whole thing first before they start posting it chapter by chapter).

if we take "too long to update", we get people pressuring us to "update faster" even though fanfics are our hobbies and we write for ourselves first and foremost.

if our works are grammatically correct, we get accused of using ai (some of us just love correct grammars).

if our works are not grammatically correct, we get insulted/criticized (mind you, not everybody writes in their native language. kudos to writers who write in their second, or third, or fourth language — I'm willing to bet a lot of people who criticize fanfics because of poor grammar can't even speak other languages besides english).

if our paragraphs are "too long and too detailed", we get accused of using ai.

if our paragraphs are "too short", we also get accused of using ai.

if we are autistic and we write in ways some deem "too robotic", we get accused of using ai.

some people just don't use their brains to think "ai was trained on human-made works, it was trained to look human-made. ai writes this way because the way it writes is the way real humans write — real humans whose works it was trained to mimic". instead they somehow disregard this logic and think "hmmm this work looks ai-generated. I will engage in witch hunt, be a bully and harass writers whose works I don't vibe with".
