🍰👮‍♀️🧠 - for the fic writer ask!

I just now saw this in my inbox 😭

🍰: Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

It has to be Cells At Work: Realisations by Corvus_Albus on AO3! That fic is so fluffy I could die and I’ve reread it at least five times at this point ❤️

👮: If one of your fics was going to get you arrested, which one and why?

Back in like 2013 I wrote this fic called “Autumn White and the Five Strange Wizards” where an 11-12 year old girl was in an implied relationship with an ancient timeless man in the body of an 11-12 year old boy, so…yeah. It was also not a very good fic, as the titular character was very much a Mary Sue and I made my Warrior Cats self-insert OC randomly appear in the fic for no reason.

If you want the displeasure of reading this fic, here is the link to when I cross posted it to AO3 a few years back, albeit edited for ease of reading and without the usage of ableist slurs, and here’s the original FFN link in its full unedited glory

🧠: What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

I’ve been wanting to write another SPY x Family fic for a while, a longer one where Anya gets kidnapped by the scientists who experimented on her and Loid and Yor have to rescue her and they all find out their secret identities and it’s angsty and dramatic but also fluffy

The Town of Anywhere

Chapters: 32/?

Rating: Teen and Up

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Pairings: Many minor pairings, read the tags

Summary: “On the east coast of the US, there is a small town called Anywhere, where some of our favorite fictional characters keep washing up on the beach, often injured, with no memory of where they came from and who they are, the only clues to their past identities being the clothes they washed up in, their own names, and the strange feelings and dreams they occasionally have. Soon enough, they settle into their new life, but the questions still remain: who were they? And why are they here?”

Unto the Labyrinth

Fandom: The Hunger Games - All Media Types

Rating: Mature

Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death

But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.

But no matter what, she won't ever be alone again.”

This is a rewrite and continuation of a fic called “Lonely Girl of 3” that I wrote back in 2014!

Unto the Labyrinth Chapter 4 is now up!

Her head was still in her hands when she stepped out of the elevator, causing her to nearly run into Beetee. He had been waiting for her at the elevator.

“How did it go?”

“I followed the plan,” Maze replied, not even trying to mask the despair in her voice. “But then I messed it all up.”

“Oh? What happened?”

Maze bit her lip. “I gave the dummy a stupid voice.”

Beetee raised an eyebrow.

“You gave the dummy a…stupid voice?” He couldn’t hide the astonishment in his own voice.
