Y'ALL!

My friend yutaan makes amazing paper art and also does commissions a few times a year. In the past, I've been lucky enough to buy some The Untamed minis of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian and also of Jiang Cheng and they bring me great joy.

And when she opened up this round of commissions I was like, "Wait. What if I got more minis of favorite characters?"

Well, I asked, and she made! And they are as delightful as I thought they would be!

And best of all:

They are in the mail on their way to me and I am very happy!

Plots and Plans

(This was my ‘what I am writing later’ memory jog. When I came back to it later, I went ‘...actually that looks like a pretty good chapter summary’, so here we are.)
Desmond absolutely went back after this chapter and re-read Shaun’s ‘intro to the factions’ sheet and took the line “We absolutely do not need to end up as flexible as the Dragon” in a completely different context than originally intended.


Main Points: Assassin's Creed/The Secret World
Summary: Desmond is trying to plan the assault on the Draug. Lydia is trying to plan Desmond’s assault on Shaun’s heart. Oh, and there’s the matter of the wounded woman, too.

password reset and hatebots?

I know this probably isn't going to get very far because this isn't tumblr or reddit.  Seeing as I don't have either, though, I'm going to post here, and I'm curious to as to whether anyone else experienced multiple hatebots and password request attempts on the same day for Ao3.  Some time elapse between the two, but it was noticeable that it was the first time either had happened to me and that I'd gotten two hatebots and three password request attempts on the same day.

also unrelated, but I think they're finally installing the servers.  I can calibre backup again now.

Just Married Dear Author Letter

Dear Author,

It's been a few years since I've been able to participate in this exchange and I've missed it! I am generally quite easy to please so long as you avoid my DNWs, so I hope you enjoy writing a fic for me!

I've got a bunch of different pairings/OT3s with different preferences for each. The one thing that I most want for all of them is that the requested pairing/OT3 fall in love by the end of the story (if they aren't in love already) and a reasonably happy ending. By "reasonably" happy, I mean, the situation around them can be kind of dark, but they're together and that's what matters.

The first most important DNW is: infidelity. I am just not here for that.

I'm totally fine with people having pasts in which they loved/were with/were married to other people but by the time the characters get together, I want them both to be single. Or, in the case of an OT3 where two thirds of the characters are married to each other, they both need to be enthusiastic about inviting a third member into the relationship.

Some other DNWS:

+ PWP. Porn is fine, I just don't want the porn to be all the fic is. And porn is in no way necessary--you can write the most rated G fic ever if you like. I love all ratings equally.
+ Instalove/love at first sight (for anyone other Wangxian--infatuation at first site is okay for them--or Peter falling in love with Harriet because canon). As an ace person, it's super important to me that characters actually know each other before they fall in love.
+ Modern AUs of historical/fantasy fandoms. Canon divergence/what ifs are amazing, though, and if you want to twist the setting a little bit (giving Hodel magical powers or making Lan Wangji emperor or something), go for it. I just do not want to read about any of these historical/fantasy characters working in a coffee shop.
+ Major character deaths (unless someone comes back to life à la Wei Wuxian)
+ Character bashing
+ Unmitigated fluff (some fluff is fine! But I'd like some deeper feelings to dig into.)
+ Onscreen noncon
+ Focus on babies/children
+ Watersports/scat
+ BDSM outside the bedroom


General likes: angst, especially if it ends happily; getting together; hurt/comfort; mutual pining; in character characters; complicated relationships between women; good worldbuilding; longfic; outsider povs; location/setting as character; political intrigue; forced proximity; good people trying to do the right thing; bad people trying to do the right thing; found families; siblings; porn with feelings; character A having to rescue/defend character B; total devotion/us against the world dynamics. I also love the other characters in these canons, so bringing them into the fic in large supporting roles is great!

Now onto the requests.

Memories of War

Desmond actually is doing better than he thinks, but he’s right that he has been half-assing it a little because he wasn’t confident. He did obviously decide to have another existential crisis, this time because he finally realized that people might know who he is now.
Red’s speech about the war is paraphrased because, among other things, he usually tells it at his store.

        “I have a weird feeling about your new neighbor,” Xander announces loudly, glancing over at where the man is barely visible, hammering again. Ignoring, as per usual, Buffy’s frantic ‘keep it down’ motions.
        “You’re lucky he’s so loud he didn’t hear you,” she stage whispers as close to his ear as she can manage and still be audible.
        “If good fences make good neighbors, what do bad fences make?” It’s...a kind of dark riddle, honestly.

I didn’t know that the love languages thing was homophobic, just picked it up from people talking about it—and ironically most of the couples I’ve applied it to were gay or lesbian, so. I hope that ticks him right off, but also I’m not sure I should use it in the future. /Reads about it Yeeeeaah, okay. And sexist too. And he’s Christian...ah, he’s one of those types of Christian therapists. Got it. And it’s not that the idea is homophobic, per se, just the guy, but even so. As used in pop culture, it’s a useful framework to think about how to write pairings. As written, it sucks. I’ve been getting better, though, so I might not need to use it for brainstorming, so that’s good.

Soul marks, but the mark develops as you spend time together and so if you never meet the person it just kind of stays generic.
