Mostly Star Wars brainrot, with a side of Transformers, superhero comics, Good Omens, all sorts of BL, and a dash of GOT7. Also recently returned to tiny Lupin fandom hell. Asks always welcome!
I truly don’t care if ships are problematic or not. I do tag extensively—Star Wars clone ships are always tagged #cloneshipping.
Here is a masterlist of my writing from the past five or so years!
“You’re sure that you want to do this?” Alex asked, yet again. He could hear how repetitive he was being, but he had to be sure.
Zeb turned to him, large fingers still finagling the strap on the flight uniform. Behind him, their window showed the sprawl of Chandrila. “Hera’s there, bogged down in all the bureaucracy. She could do with backup. Plus…it’s a new galaxy. If I fought to take down the old one, feels like I should pitch in on building the new one.” He’d said more or less those words to Alex a hundred times. But still, Zeb had seemed glad to leave fighting behind. Alex found it hard to imagine him back in it, even with the brand new uniform across Zeb’s broad chest making the reality of it exceptionally clear.
“Of course. I just…” Alex couldn’t finish.
“You’re just worryin’.”
“I suppose.”
“Could come with me.” Zeb said suddenly. “You can do your spy work from Adelphi Base, you know.”
Kallus smiled wryly. “I’m retired,” he replied, knowing both of them knew that for the lie it was.
“Then let an old man kick some pilots into shape. Lira San will still be there when I get back, and you can babysit it for me. I don’t trust anyone as much as you to keep it running smooth.” Zeb had finally finished getting the flight suit on. He twisted and flexed in it, testing it. “What do you think? S’been a long time since I had a new uniform.”
Alex walked up to him and smoothed out some wrinkles, repositioning the life support system and making Zeb look like a true New Republic captain. Once Zeb was fixed to his satisfaction, Alex leaned in and pressed a single kiss to the crisp, new synthcotton at Zeb’s shoulder. He willed it to keep Zeb safe. Zeb had more to give to the galaxy, Alex couldn’t argue with that. But he would miss him fiercely until they could reunite.
“I think,” Alex said after a moment, “that the suit looks very good. So good, in fact, that I’m going to have to talk you back out of it immediately.” He looked up at Zeb through his lashes. Zeb’s mouth, agape, eventually broke out into a gorgeous grin.
“Sasha, you always know just what to say.” Zeb closed his hands around Alex’s waist and lifted him bodily off the floor. Alex’s yelp turned into laughter as he was hauled towards their hotel bed, and he held on as tightly as he could while he still had Zeb beside him.
characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn’t and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn’t matter, it’s enthralling either way
Send an ask with “Trick or treat!” to the writer who reblogged this & you could receive a 3-sentence fic, drabble, headcanon, sneak-peek at a WIP, the last sentence they wrote, a new fic idea, random line from a fic, picture of their notebook, a deleted line they love, an idea for a sequel, something they’re researching, behind-the-scenes info on a published fic, or something else!
happy halloween!

I haven’t seen this linked on here so: this is an awesome resource for how you can help the people in Palestine. It has donation links, helps you figure out how to contact your representatives, and a regularly updated list of planned protests. It is USAmerican centric but the list of protests is international.
If you are American this site has a tool that sends an email for you. All you need to enter is your name, email address, and street address so they can auto-find your senators. It will take 30 seconds.
Was working with my dad, and this box of things had “morsetti volanti” written on it, which can also mean in Italian “little flying bites” and it just made me think of them🥺💖
when u follow the ao3 bookmark trail until you find an author u haven’t previously seen at all but who has written like 50+ fics that all sound juicy as hell and so u read the first one you see and its GREAT…….. is there literally anything better in life
Somehow the two difficult, time-intensive freelance gigs I agreed to do one after another this fall have suddenly decided they’d actually like to overlap, so now I’m working not just my already time-intensive full-time job that’s particularly busy this month, but also these two nearly part-time jobs??
I just want to be writing, damn it. I have so many ideas for my WIPs, and the half hour I’m trying to squeeze in every day to chip away at them just isn’t cutting it, argh.
Read somewhere either fic or someone’s headcanon, of zeb totally leaning into his cat-like tendencies just to mess with Kallus and thought that was hilarious
The aftermath. Well, at least Zeb got Kallus to take a break!
Aaand the replacement cup. (Cassian got ahold of it first)
In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I’ve seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I’ll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here’s the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that’s me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I’ll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you’re done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it’s such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
HERE’S THAT BITCH IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
This one that puts the little O in the corner glitches on my computer/browser and will mess up my stories when I go to edit them. I’m not sure if it’s bc I’m a Mac or because I’m a Firefox, BUT -
Here’s another version if anyone else needs it bc that above version doesn’t work for them. Pastebin link. You’ll have to “create new script” on tampermonkey/greasemonkey/whatever and paste it in.
In this one, instead of the little O, you get a gray “floaty review box” button amongst the other buttons at the top of the story (bookmarks, mark for later, share, etc.)
This also adds some first/last chapter shortcuts on applicable stories, which I don’t personally use much but there ya go.
