Who needs prompt generators when I can just lurk on fandom twit/blsky and wait for someone to post a take that's so (subjectively) wrong that I have to write 6k words of fic out of pure spite.

BEEP BEEP IT'S BOTTOM JAYCE WEEK

[theseourbodies]

Arcane is a show whose whole plot is driven by yappers & I love that. Jayce? Yapper. Silco? PROFESSIONAL YAPPER. Ambessa, honorary yapper. Jinx, junior yapper, raised by the best. Every one of them, so fucking valid

HELLO TUMBLR 👋 i am ENORMOUSLY excited to say: i've written a book! and i'm writing two more! and they're all queer romcoms! and the first one, FALL INTO YOU, will be out in JUNE. there is a LOT of my heart in this novel, and i absolutely can't wait to share it with you 💜

if you've ever enjoyed my fanfic, particularly stories like What We Pretend We Can't See and I've Got Nothing to Do Today But Smile, then you'll love FALL INTO YOU. it's full of ROMANCE and JOKES but also REAL, MESSY PEOPLE with PROBLEMS and TRAUMA, because those are the stories i love telling! it's chock full of things i adore: set on an APPLE FARM in NORTHEAST OHIO, main characters who hate each other more or less immediately, gratuitous depictions of food, and they were ROOMMATES?, people healing wounds they didn't even know were still open, AND MORE.

i'll be sharing more about this book in the weeks to come (i promise i will try so hard not to be obnoxious about it 🫡 ), and about the next two as we get closer to publication! but until then, i just want to say: the fic stays UP and the author stays GRATEFUL, always. i am honored and humbled by your readership, and really proud of the work i've done for and with fandom, and that's not a tune you're ever going to see me change.

okay, thanks so much for reading!! hope you're all well; i'll just be here having one of the coolest and most surreal days of my life 😂👋💜

EDITED TO ADD 4/29/25: for those who have been kind enough to ask, you can PREORDER Fall Into You here in the US (or here in the UK)! Will have info to you ASAP on options for folks in other countries, this is all as new to me as it is to you, but will keep you very posted 💜

Viktor patron saint of doing everything in your power and the power of others to get out of the place where you were born and raised because that place will kill you, Viktor patron saint of closed mouth smiling, Viktor patron saint of understanding exactly your desires and the hatred you feel for them and for yourself for having them, Viktor patron saint of yearners, Viktor and Viktor and Viktor

[theseourbodies]

I get the feeling this is going to be GOOD, i love a stressed, horny viktor. Really fun prose writing, too.

Jayce is touchy, Viktor is acespec, I've subscribed to this one for sure.

[icaruspendragon]

i love you fanfics with rabid intimacy. i love you long and intricate passages about lovers who love with such intensity they want to make a home in the bones of their beloved. i love you insatiable need to get impossibly closer. i love you winter love, cold and intense and all consuming. i love you inherent divinity of lovers who love with such ferocity they want to be the blood pumping in their beloveds veins.

[theseourbodies]

rewatching arcane for dialogue refs is no fucking joke, especially those first few eps of S1 when I can't quite remember when I need to skip forward to avoid hysterically crying

[xanaxfarts]

keep up the good work you guys inshallah the stress gets to be too much :)

I don't know if it was accidentally or on purpose, but this is Jayce as like, THE quintessential engineer. What does this machine do? He doesn't know and he doesn't care (he does care, so much once Viktor tells him,) but he's sleep deprived and he's got the schematics so By God it's time to test this motherfucker to failure.

Hex (Sex) Machines by AO3 user detective_rascal

Disability focused and just like, fun. Well written situational (non sexual) embarrassment. And it was FUNNY, the dialogue is truly hilarious.

[theseourbodies]

have you read this? https://archiveofourown.org/series/4615840

I sure had not before you sent it to me but now I'm NECK DEEP bro. I'm so obsessed with all the really interesting JAYVIK LIVE scenarios that people have written/drawn and this one is so FUN and exactly my kind of FUCKED UP. I really like it so far, thanks!

[theseourbodies]

So many prose style crushes, so little time.

Post-canon, JayVik live but in a way that I consider canon compliant. Mel is lovely and lonely and her voice in this fic is absolutely wonderful. Read for MelJayVik crumbs and TIGHT fucking prose.

i hope it goes without saying but if you read and like this, please leave kudos for the author. If you REALLY like it, leave kudos and a comment. It's tough out here, it's important to share the love.

[theseourbodies]

I don't know what they put in past MelVik, first time MelJayVik fics but I suspect it's straight cocaine. I've been thinking a lot about pre-canon MelVik, about what they would have been like when they were younger, if they knew each other etc. Love that this fic captures that so deftly.

Like half of the rest of the world, I've been thinking nonstop about fucking Arcane and Arcane characters fucking

Cait/Vi reunion set in Ekko's alternate reality, Caitlyn POV

Explicit | 6729 words

The final battle of S2 knocks Vi and Caitlyn into Ekko's alternate universe. A year later, Caitlyn finally finds Vi. “Cait.” Vi brings her captured hand up to kiss chastely at the callused tips of her fingers. She tucks it under her cheek and Caitlyn kisses her again, thrown violently back in her memory to another night, another bed, another moment of stillness. She wondered if that night, like the sex, was another thing that Vi hadn’t allowed herself to think about too often. “Cait, this is probably the only thing that’s really felt right for me in the last two years. Trust me. Please.”

i love the feeling of being obsessed with my own AU.
