3, 8, and 10 for Little Monster?

anything for you my dear ❤ from this post!

3. Which part of [title] was hardest to write?

Definitely Nott getting beaten up by the guards. That was brutal. And even though it felt necessary for the story, it still hurt to write.

8. Which came first, the title or the fic?

The title! I was kind of thinking about slurs and reclaiming slurs and stuff, and I started thinking about how Nott might feel about being called a monster/the term of affection that is ‘little monster’

10. What are some facts readers may not know about [title]?

Since I wrote it before we got Caleb’s backstory (welp) I had the headcanon that Caleb had lost his loved ones in a fire started by the Empire’s armies. They’re the Helene, Mathilda and Luisa. I soooort of headcanoned Caleb as bi in that – with Helene as his wife. But now I think I lean more towards gay for Caleb.

Also, we know what happened with the backstory…

thank you for the ask!

POV? Or Next? Or both, if you’re inclined

Yay!!! Thank you so much!! ❤ From this post about fic writing!

  • 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.
