I was tagged by @seeingteacupsindragons to post the last line I wrote in a WIP and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
He observes as Neil hobbles to the center of the courtyard, his limp more pronounced in the cold weather.
I don’t have 19 people to tag lol but anyway. I’m tagging @annawrites @jsteneil 😀
hooty hoo i am in tears. you two are the sweetest! thank you ❤
1) a world alone – y’all are probably sick to death of listening to me talk about this teacher au, but here I go again. It’s rare that I’m satisfied with the things I write, but I ended up liking this fic a lot; it’s ridiculous in some ways, but it’s – borrowing someone else’s words – “sweet and charming”. I had intended it to be romantic-ish and full of silly flirting, and I’m glad that I managed to pull it off. We have English Lit. teacher Andrew who likes Jane Austen and is essentially a soccer mom to Nicky and Kevin!! French/German teacher Neil who dances with his cat in the kitchen!! Definitely my proudest moments tbh
2) time and tide (might just wait for you) – y’all are sleeping on this fic :// lol no but for real, I’m kinda proud of this one too, because it’s one of the rare times where I stick super closely to canon (the fic is canon-compliant so). It’s also my first AFTG fic and the first thing I wrote after a long writing hiatus, AND it’s in Andrew’s POV, both when he was on his meds and after. I totally thought it was crap at first, but I grew to like it over time. I think I just like writing about Andrew pining over Neil ¯_(ツ)_/¯
3) groundswell waves – I’m still undecided on this fic tbh. I’m working towards increasing my love towards it because it has motorcycle-riding librarian Andrew and surfer Neil and a cat called Cabbage in it, so like. Great premise there, but probably not the best execution. It’s light-hearted and fun though, which is what I wanted it to be. And it has a super fucking cool fanart made for it so that’s why it’s on this list yee haw
4) maybe i’m defective, maybe i’m dumb series – uhh it’s the only time I’ve written sort of a reverse dynamic between Andrew and Neil and I gotta say – it’s shitloads of fun. I’d been super #blessed because the original creator of this verse allowed me to write fic based on their art. Also I get to write about Andrew thirsting over Neil in fishnets and leotard and high heels, so like. Yeah. I definitely had fun with this AU, even though I still have some issues with the second part. Anyway. Neil kicks somebody’s ass in a pair of stilettos that Andrew gave him so y’all should go read this series byeee
5) the spaces between my fingers – I’m a bit embarrassed by this fic because I feel that I was trying too hard with it, but it has a special place in my heart because it was the first “long” fic that I’d ever written. I also enjoyed writing about a more mature Bokuto who pines over Akaashi while also dealing with his own personal issues. It’s been more than 3 years since I completed it…who am I……
Thanks so much @sunrise-and-death and @jsteneil!! Ilu
