Becca or Becks | author + fanby | all/any pronouns
Completely stealing this idea from @voidvulpine, but here is my intro post + one-stop shop for knowing who the hell you've stumbled across in the wild landscape of tumblr. I'm an author, a fanfic writer, a nerd about town, and I mostly use this space to reblog fandom angst and thirst traps.
Even Gods Need Miracles : Solas x Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition era slow-burn romance
He possessed knowledge beyond any mortal, yet even the Dread Wolf could not foresee what it would mean to fall in love. He does not anticipate his connection with her. Mortal. Dalish. Not a drop of magic in her body save for his own anchor. But no one else can truly understand what it means to become a symbol quite like he does. And she, in turn, parts his layers, his trauma, his pain with gentle fingers and a curious mind. No good can come from the bond forming between them. It will likely be the ruin of them both.
When I Was Afraid to Want You : Rook x Lucanis, Dragon Age: The Veilguard slow-burn romance
It started with that coffee date...and then got immediately complicated from there. Because when you combine two disaster bisexuals who don't know how to communicate their feelings, what you get is an absolute mess. Starting from the almost-kiss and flashing back and forth in Rook and Lucanis's relationship over the course of Veilguard as they gradually try to get their shit together. More or less.
I've written a few. Some have even seen the light of day and appeared on bookshelves.

But when her dying uncle announces a crownchase—a search for the royal seal hidden in the empire that will determine the next ruler—Alyssa is thrust into her greatest, most dangerous adventure yet.

Any professional inquiries need to go through my agent, but if you just want to talk writing, gaming, fandom, whatever, I'm an open book. Drop me an ask or a message or however you like.
Unless you're a fascist. Or a Nazi. Or a TERF. Or a racist. If you're any of those, the door is behind you. Out you go; get wrecked.
Current mood
I will never not be entertained every time Inuyasha growls. All of his cussing and bickering, but some times he's got to revert to a puppo growl, real spooky
Everything that's wrong with Solas could have been solved if he'd spent a single moment of his life on the floor of a women's bathroom at the club at 3 am. Thousands of years of regret? No problem: this drunk girl with runny mascara just told him "FUCK them all. You're fucking beautiful. You did nothing wrong ever. Your head is so shiny." Boom. Cured.
He would end up crying hysterically in the arms of, like, five hyper-supportive twenty-somethings. They would do his make-up. He would never look back.
Chapter 59 is posted! I may or may not post this story on Tumblr, starting from the beginning, so those interested but not on ao3 will get a better summary once I do. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t clog up people’s feeds - I’ll only update once a week, I swear. 😅
Chapters: 59/? Fandom: InuYasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Sesshoumaru (InuYasha)/Original Female Character(s), Sesshoumaru (InuYasha)/Original Character(s), Higurashi Kagome/InuYasha, Miroku/Sango (InuYasha),
you are the hero of ferelden. no matter your origin you watch those you love most be ripped from you. death becomes an endless cycle which seems to follow you wherever you go. the fate of the world rests on your shoulders as you know you can never return home. home is gone now. home is buried with your family, jailed with your closest ally, cradled by the ancestors, forgotten like your beloved, lost to time in the murky glass of the eluvian- dead in your arms, killed at your hand. you are the hero of ferelden and it is your destiny to die. when next the world falls apart, you do not come. this world does not deserve your pity.
you are the champion of kirkwall. you are a refugee, cold and hungry and sold into labour. your mother hates you, though she will never say it. it's your fault the ogre killed your sibling, your fault the taint took the other. but you are happy. you have everything, friends and family and status and riches. you defeat the people plaguing your glorious city, you are the people's hero. you will always know even as she came back, isabela left you to die. you are happy but you are alone. you have everything and then you are rocking back and forth begging please please please do not take my mother as well. you have nothing, but you for a single second, you had everything. you are the champion of kirkwall, and your ally has blown up the chantry. where is your home now that everything is your fault?
you are the herald of andraste. and you are so, so scared. these people do not trust you, do not like you, would feed you to the fade if they could. they do not care if you follow another religion, you are their herald. you can never return home because heroes do not have homes. they say home is the people you choose, but you didn't choose these people, did you? every step you take aches. thousands reach out to touch you, for safety. for comfort. you are a black hole close to destruction, and you cannot do this. you are the herald of andraste and you have not been yourself for so long now.
For those who have seen this a couple of times already, I apologize 😅. Since my blog is no longer shadow banned, I wanted to repost it now that I'm visible
SJ | late 20s | ao3 | 18+ blog
Glad to see you've found my little pocket of Tumblr. I thought it'd be nice to have a 'get to know me' post. I decided to create my blog so that I could connect to the communities I write for, share and appreciate art, and maybe throw out my thoughts from time to time. You can call me SJ or Vulpine, or if you point and say "hey, you", that works, too. I go by sapphirejournalist on ao3.
o Oh God, What the F*ck, and Other Tales - Inuyasha | Sesshōmaru/OC
o They Who Hunt - Baldur's Gate 3 | AU | Astarion/Tav (not yet posted)
o Currently working on a hate/fix-it fic for the series House of Night, because good gods, those books cause me rage
o To Walk the Path of Death - Dragon Age: Veilguard | Solavellan
o Dragon Age: Rise of the Dread Wolf - Dragon Age | AU | Solavellan (written several years ago while waiting for what became Veilguard)
Unfortunately, while I write a lot, I tend to only focus on one story at a time. I really try not to start works I won't finish. I'm looking forward to posting more in the future, but I find it overwhelming to try and juggle posting multiple stories at once.
If you're interested, please always feel free to ask me about my works and characters! I'd to talk to any readers who have thoughts they'd like to share. In the meantime, thanks for dropping by, and have a lovely day/night

Got tagged by @beccacoffindaffer for this and it sounded like fun! Here's the last lines from each of the three stories I'm working on:
Magma slopped out from the gaping hole and dribbled down the stairs, creating a deadly pool right below their feet.
“As I suspected. You are a delectable creature.”
She wasn’t watching the sun rise for peace this morning. She was waiting to see if she burned.
