Oof! It's been a while but the latest chapter is up on ao3!!

[peachfromcmbyn]

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

Water.. No. Grit. Um. No uhmm, water+grit?

Winter has arrived on Poob.

Start your 7 day free trial of Poob today, and watch smash hit Martin Scorcese's Goncharov.

In terms of character development and plot twists, I'd say this is up there with Hamlet II: Ophelia's Vengeance. *That* one is the stuff of nightmares!

Trick or treat 🎃

(It’s I-am-at-soup. Curse the limitations of having my thunderbird stuff be a side blog) 

anyhoo Happy Halloween 

(More Diana stuff please she seems cool)

Hey, sorry for the late reply, my tablet ran out of battery and I could only finish the drawing now😫…I added a bit of HDR effect in Adobe Photoshop to give it a photographed look… ✨

Annddd Happy Halloween 🎃✨

Ah Virgil, the downside of dating a doctor? You can't bluff your way out of your injuries. Diana won't fall for your "it's just a scratch/bruise/sprain" nonsense...

TAG - First dance headcanons?

Call me an old romantic, but I totally headcanon Like There's No Yesterday by Mark Wills as the first dance at a Virgil/Conrad wedding reception! (maybe because I also headcanon past relationship trauma for the both of them and Conrad having anxiety pre-coming out as a late teen/early 20 something).

If ever Scott and Hannah take the plunge, I'm thinking Mariah Carey's Hero!

So, Thunderfam, hit me with your relationship combos and their first dances!

@janetm74 @idontknowreallywhy @tb5-heavenward @mariashades @willow-salix

and all other TAG fam I haven't tagged!!

Trick or Treat!🎃

I'm currently switching between writing CogDiss and my Regency AU, but here's a snippet from the Regency:

The Lieutenant pressed his fingers to his temples, trying by all means to remain composed. As calmly as he could manage, he enquired "Did you at any point think to ask my opinion?"

"If I refused to take up the commission," retorted the Captain, "Your career would have been ruined. They would have done all in their power to make sure you never sailed again, nor would any business venture thrive."

"And this commission involves?"

"I am being sent to the Caribbean to combat piracy. For a period at least no less than six months."

"Leaving when?"

With a sigh of despair, knowing that the acceptance of his orders had effectively dashed all his dearest hopes of a triumphant return to England and claiming Lady Hannah's heart and hand, he replied, "I sail on the first tide tomorrow."

[janetm74fics]

Scott felt the air move near his fingers and tried hard to crack open an eye. He could just about make out Hannah lying on the floor, her fingers reaching for him. She gave him strength to carry on.

‘Ha-Hannah.’ ‘I’m so sorry, Scott.’ ‘Don’t be. This was – was always a possibility. And I’d still do us all over again.’

Tears welled in Havoc’s eyes. She couldn’t afford to be Hannah right now, but hearing Scott call her by her name moved her in ways it never had previously. She tried harder to reach him.

Hey TAG team!! Does anyone want to do trick-or-treating again this year?

For those not familiar here's a trick-or-treating guide:

On Halloween we go around and drop the message "trick or treat" in eachother's ask boxes and they answer with one of the following:

A headcanon

A W.I.P (art or fic)

A snippet or a doodle (if you have the time/energy to make something)

Something oc related (introduce an oc, share a fact about an oc, share a favourite fandom oc)

Something AU related (pitch an AU, share your favourite fandom AU)

A link to a fic or piece of fanart you like, could be your own work or someone else's. (Please make sure to link other people's work and not just download/post as your own)

A gif (make sure to use the Tumblr gif library as it automatically credits the gif creator)

Whatever pretty much!! Just no AI gen content.✨

No pressure to play, it's just some silly fun for Halloween. If you're up for it, reblog to put the pumpkin out on your dashboard. Happy spoopy season!!🎃🦇🍂

[thedryswan]

Yay - happy to share since I've been out of the loop a while and am easing myself back into it.

So many disparate bits of Cognitive Dissonance which need fitting together like a puzzle and a chunk of bridging text to get from A to B in Regency AU !!

This but it’s EOS when someone breaks into Thunderbird Five

In a high pitched sing-songy voice, in pitch dark, Peeeekaboooooo!!!

[heroofshield]

The Rest of the Internet: Aw man, I can't believe these priceless Napoleonic jewels were stolen and are probably gone for good.

The Leverage Fandom: Okay. Here is my Powerpoint (with sources from John Rogers) on how the crew could have pulled it off. Also...do we know where Gina and Beth were over the weekend? Just Asking.

The White Collar Fandom: Yeah, he did it.

[thedryswan]

Just as long as the British Museum guys have an alibi we should be ok...

[thedryswan]

Possible Cognitive Dissonance snippet (if I can tailor the bits around it to fit...)

Kayo had bided her time, waiting until she could get a moment with Jeff to herself. Now, the pair of them sitting in comfortable silence on the terrace overlooking the pool, this seemed like the ideal opportunity.

"Why did you bring me here, all those years ago? Was it that you wanted to prepare me for a position with International Rescue? Or were you hoping that, as the only girl surrounded by boys, I'd marry one of them? John, for example."

Jeff slowly closed the book he was reading and set it down on the table. Turning to her, he let out a long slow breath.

"It wasn't really.... Entirely..."
