Réveillon de Noël - UnstableMable

One-shot - 8894 words - sequel to Raison d’Être 

The door to the book store jingles joyfully when Trixie pushes it open, as though it too is happy she’s back. She’s immediately greeted with the welcome warmth of a little space heater stood near the reading nook. A couple of people browsing the bookshelves look up and greet her with soft, muted voices. Trixie barely has time to close the door behind her when Katya rushes over. She barely manages a “hi” before grabbing Trixie by the wrist and swiftly guiding her to the back of the store. Katya opens the door to the little hallway and pulls both of them, and Trixie’s gigantic suitcase, inside, before pressing Trixie against it.

“Hi, hello. You’re here,” Katya presses out. She sounds almost out of breath and it makes Trixie giggle and press her cold nose into Katya’s cheek. Katya shudders a little.

Russians regularly use "Kat" instead of "Katya". we go back and forth. I hope your eye is ok!

My eye is great thanks!

[westofklovharun]

I used Kat in my fic so much and didn't realize people hated it either!!!! also yay you're back 💕

I’m too lazy to check if I actually used “kat” in Ars but I think I did? Towards the end? Anyway it’s all about what makes sense for your versions of these characters and what’s fun for you!

[petrovna]

also ngl I don’t get when people shorten katyas name to kat. is it pronounced cat or like cot ?? like if you just said katya without the end??

[westofklovharun]

Ooh, this is so interesting to me. I’ve never questioned the nickname-from-a-nickname thing, the way Trixie is a nickname that gets shortened to Trix, but then I’m one of those people who plays with names over time as I get to know and love someone. I always hear Kat in my head as “cat”, derived from Yekaterina, which has less of a “cot” sound to my (admittedly Canadian) ear.

designing an OC be like: “should i impose all of my faults and misgivings on them for self-validation and comfort or should i make them everything i wish i was so i can live vicariously through them”

KATYA ON THE PIT STOP

[westofklovharun]

When you get this you have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)✨💝

1. I like that reading comforts me, so the result of a very anxious time can be a big stack (or virtual stack) of books that I’ve escaped into for a while.

2. I’m proud that I adopted the dogs and cats in my life from shelters, and I’ve never given up on the ones with difficult medical conditions or behavioral issues.

3. I like that I can write (sometimes) and I have some sense about what works and what doesn’t. Maybe. Hopefully.

4. I like that I keep working on myself with therapy and my close relationships and that’s really hard but it’s good. It’s progress.

5. I’m glad that I’m good at helping people feel better when they’re sad. Or at least, I try to be. I like the caring in it.

rules: tag nine people you want to know better

My girlfriend did this without tagging anyone and so will I! 

three ships: Fictional Trixie and Katya, Mulder and Scully were a big ship for me in my formative years (blame Gillian Anderson), and um, another het classic from my childhood was Dr Ellie Stadler and Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. 

first ever ship: Gomez Addams with myself? I think I was too jealous of Morticia to include her. I’m bi. They’re both hot. 

last song: Two Hands by Big Thief 

last film: Tick, Tick... BOOM! Made me feel like I should be writing furiously all the time. 

currently reading: The Hole by Hiroko Oyamada, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, and the Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage.  

currently watching: Shows? Euphoria. Ozark too, but I was more into the third season. I want more shows. 

currently consuming: Coffee, and I would like a cookie please. 

currently craving: International travel? Does that count? Definitely Spring. A particular person. Also a cookie, still.

i’ve never been on the roof 2022

this one is an illustration of a scene in chapter 4 of @westofklovharun’s fucking amazing fic ars longa vita brevis which i have read no less than six times because it is not only an extremely tasteful rpf (rare) but also witty, gorgeously written, and clever af. love these artsy seattle lesbians. 

[westofklovharun]

WHAT. 

Where do I begin? The look of the characters. The clothes. The body language. The sky. The cityscape! The fact that I was scrolling through my dash and came across this without any warning just about made me leave my body. I can’t believe you took the time to make this. Seriously. Look at them.

Like, how can I express how happy this makes me? This is such an amazing gesture for a fic that’s been kicking around for a year now. You nailed this 100% and I’m in love with it.

sometimes you write a story to exist as a vessel of elsewhere and sometimes you write a story because you are parsing through the possibilities of what it might mean for somebody to love someone like you in a way you actually want to be loved
