a writer's nightmare is having the vision for one specific scene for a fic and having to come up with The Rest

List of “I still…” prompts

I still smell the traces of your scent on my bedsheets; my clothes; my pillowcase

I still remember your favourite songs; the way you’d sing them out loud thinking no one’s listening, and then getting flustered when you realised I heard you

I still remember all of your little quirks in which I’ve always found so endearing to me, but you always thought were annoying 

I still remember the feel of you under my palms; every curve, every line 

I still have your number memorised, like the back of my hand

I still remember your smile, the soft quirk to it. How could I not? It’s ingrained in the back of my mind, even though I wish it wasn’t

I still can’t get you out of my mind even though I’m probably long gone from yours

I still remember how you’d laugh at my jokes even though they didn’t make any sense to anyone else

I still have our inside jokes kept somewhere in the back of my mind

I still remember how you taste

I still remember how you sound; your sweet voice you told me you hated when you had to listen back to it over voice recording 

I still remember how you’d be there for me, through both the thick and the thin 

I still remember how you told me you’d always be there for me

I still remember how our love was supposed to be unconditional… until it wasn’t

I still remember how things went down south. Where did things go wrong? I still don’t really understand what happened…

I still think about you, day in, day out

I still miss you

I still want you

I still need you

And I… I still love you, even after all of this time

When you know EXACTLY what goes next but now HOW to write it:

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.

fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

couples who aren’t together just yet ˗ˏˋ꒰ 🐚 ꒱

— “can i come over tonight? is that stupid to ask?”

— “come on, talk to me. when have i ever led you astray, hm?”

— “will you hold my hand?”

— “i want nothing more than to kiss you right now.”

— “you’re always going to be the most beautiful person in the room to me.”

— “i’m so proud of you- you know that, right?”

— “you matter so much to me.”

— “is it okay if i stay at yours tonight? i don’t know if i can stand another night away from you.”

— “just let me love you!”

— “am i dumb for thinking there’s something here? something that could be real?”

— “i’m sorry, but they don’t deserve you.”

— “can we just... can we give this a chance?”

— “i know it’s wrong of me to come crying to you over a date, but i didn’t know where else to go.”

— “you make me feel so safe.”

— “i love you. as more than just a friend.”
