Flip Side

I'm hoping to get chapter 12 up tonight but I may have drank too much wine with dinner so my focus is not the best right now. If not I promise you'll get two chapters tomorrow at least.

Here's once of the songs for the chapter to keep you interested!

Excerpt from The Swallow's Promise:

"But the story of Marion Malachai didn't come to an end when the 'Sundance' disappeared. On February 2nd, 1717, a ship black as soot and flying a crimson flag adorned in twin black battle axes beneath golden stars emerged. With it came the legend of Mad Malachai. Ruthless, bloodthirsty, and rumored to leave a swatch of sunken ships in his wake, the dreaded pirate would soon join the ranks of more infamous pirates known and feared around the world. But when a man has all but the mate that matches his soulmark, he truly has nothing at all. Here is the story of how Mad Malachi joined the ranks of the pirates, rose to fame, and fell to the love of a young castaway."

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

the self-indulgent fanfiction will continue until morale improves

AO3 Down?

I think AO3 might be down. I can't get it to work on my laptop or my mobile. I was going to post a second chapter to Flip Side today but it looks like that might not be possible. I'll keep checking but I'm sorry if I don't get the chapter up until tomorrow. That might just mean you'll all get three tomorrow instead.

Opening tumblr when I’m not alone is an extreme sport because idk if I’m gonna see the most wholesome fan art ever or those same characters receiving back shots fully uncensored

i need to sit by the ocean about this

A little sneak peak to what's going on in chapter 15 of Flip Side. Kuno secretly loves the little nickname Marko has given him, not that he's likely to admit that aloud!
