Man, that whole fic was ridiculously fun to write, honestly. I enjoyed a lot of the scenes, because I was pretty self-indulgent and kind of wrote whatever would make me happy…
That said, I think there were three scenes that I was absurdly excited to write about – which were the one in Chapter 11 where Shouto and Izuku have a conversation on the frozen lake about Shouto’s life, Chapter 13 – where Tsuyu shows Uraraka her lake (fun fact, I still have a draft of the NSFW uh, completion of that scene – it’s not all NSFW! Some it is actually cool naiad stuff), and chapter 14 – at the fairy party where Jirou and Momo finally, finally get together. (There is also an NSFW end of that scene)
It’s an AU where Shouto becomes a vigilante and it was cheesy and self indulgent and just warm. It was really cathartic to write, and I made myself laugh. I still like to imagine those two iterations of the boys as adults, living happy, peaceful lives.
Aaaaaaah thank you so, so much! Writing a deuteragonist was definitely the hardest and most challenging part from my point of view, so I’m really glad that worked. And I’m very, very happy you liked Izuku! I love him so dearly.
Thank YOU so much for this message! Honestly, I’m flustered and flattered and really, really grateful. Thank you for sending this my way!
Oh my GOODNESS thank you!!!!!! ❤ That’s so, so kind of you and I really, truly appreciate it. I’m really happy you enjoyed it, and thank you so SO much for letting me know!! I hope you also have a fantastic day ❤
POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective
Everything was supposed to be ok. They’d beaten the bad guys, beheaded the vampires, foiled the evil plot. They were supposed to be alright.
The worst part of it was the fact that, deep down, Vex knew it wasn’t. She’d known from that first night, when Vax had turned up messy and evasive, refusing to give them a straight answer. Of course, her gut instinct had quickly escalated into full blown nausea once they’d realised that Vax was missing. That hadn’t really gone away.
So now he was telling her everything: telling her the sources of the echoes and shadows of pain she’d felt in the ten days they’d been apart. Now she knew what happened.
The part of her that was still a little girl in a ruined town wishes that she didn’t.
But her not knowing won’t stop it from having happened. So instead she wraps her arms around her brother, and she kisses his head, and they cry.
NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
aaah hahahah oh man sorry about that! it’s a funny thing, i always want to pick out details about art, and often people choose really pretty colours for skin tone/blushes/shadows etc. But somehow it feels very strange out of context to be like….the skin is pretty ^^; Still, I’m glad it worked out!
Hmmm, this feels like it could be as open as anything, so I’m gonna try and limit it by looking at the whump fic bingo stuff. Based on that post….
– Helpless look right before they collapse
– Trying to be subtle while leaning against objects
– Voice hitching when they speak
– Staggering or otherwise walking ungracefully before they can catch themselves
And outside of that post, I really love it when a character either gets hurt much more badly than they realise, or they do know they’re hurt and pretend they’re fine (bonus points if this is because they think they have to be strong for their friends/are the class clown type).
In terms of actual hurting and whump stuff: I’m a sucker for literally any situation where one character sacrifices themselves/puts themselves on the line for another one. Also situations where characters who care about each other are forced to hurt each other – either by circumstances or magic. Like the whole, character a trying to hold back on hurting character b and apologising and being all guilt ridden after.
Ooooh, also moments when one character is trying to reassure another character who’s been very badly injured and is trying to pretend that everything is fine to keep them calm (bonus points if character a is class clown and their facade is cracking as they panic.) Plus the moment when they realise everything isn’t going to be ok, and their calm just kind of shatters
Also honestly literally any character being super protective of another. Especially in a situation where the protective one can’t actually protect the other (ie they’re captured/outnumbered). The whole: struggling and shouting threats kind of helplessly and desperately, and then when character b tells them everything is gonna be fine even though it isn’t? that’s the good stuff
Lord that was a lot, but I hope it answers your question! I’m a huge fan of all whump and hurt/comfort honestly. Thank you for the ask!!
Right now, Critical Role. It’s a youtube series where voice actors play Dungeons and Dragons. It’s surprisingly awesome and I’m kind of in love with it right now. Also, The Adventure Zone podcast kind of keeps me afloat, mood-wise.
Arawn: What is the most terrifying thing you’ve ever done?
Lord, a bunch of things. Physical safety wise, probably jumping out a plane? It was a tandem skyjump, it wasn’t too scary because it was tandem. Emotionally, making the decision to cut contact with my parents was a pretty big deal.
Morpheus: Do you daydream often? Of what?
Almost all the time, honestly i have trouble concentrating on most things. I daydream about stories primarily. I’ve got five core stories that are original which I hope to make something with one day. Lots of smaller stories and ideas. Plus, y’know, I write fanfic, so I daydream about that. Fun fact: I never actually appear in my daydreams, I’m normally just kind of watching everything happening. How tired I am has an effect on how much control I’ll have on what’s happening.
Vesta: Do you like being home or do you try to get out whenever you can?
Right now, I like being home. I kind of feel safer in my room. And overall I do like being indoors, I’ve got a lot of geeky hobbies that lend themselves to being inside. Reading and writing mostly. But I like being out as well. It’s kind of a weird question for more because I move roughly every 6 to 12 months, so nowhere really feels like home.
