After trying and failing to inact a prophecy that will return his vampire clan to their former glory, the least Noctis can do is agree to a marriage in order to avoid an escalation of war.

fic promo for Vaucasy by GingerEl including selected tags: promptis, vampire au, 48k, arranged marriage, hurt/comfort, strangers to friends to lovers, fae + shifters, blood and injury

fic promo for Vaucasy by GingerEl including summary:
Prompto carefully tugs open the garment bag, exposing the edge of a dark, slate grey suit and wine coloured shirt.
“Try it on, we don’t have much time for adjustments,” Loqi demands.
“What’s it for?” Prompto wonders. He already has a suit, wore it to meet the Caelum clan that first day, wears it pretty much any time he’s allowed to leave his room. They are a family with standards after all.
“If you manage not to fuck this up, I’m taking you to meet your fiance,” Loqi tells him.
Prompto’s adjusting the sleeve of his jacket when Loqi speaks, and it takes him several seconds to really understand what he’s saying.
“Wait—what?”

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

I may have missed the actual date this episode was posted but I'm gonna celebrate it's 2nd year of existence late anyways. Here's Loki being protective of his human cause It's a favorite scene of mine 😌

This part! I have written first person POV for a journal-tone fic but I wrote as the main character, not y/n. The carryover into publishing *and* learning that some publishers turn down works not in first person? 😬

I primarily filter by ships so that cuts a lot of that for me, thankfully.

Right? Like physical descriptors aside, half the time I would be like “I wouldn’t say/do that”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Personally not a fan of first person POV. The self-insert trend is concerning (necessity to center self and being unable to read/enjoy another’s POV) but it’s also saved me money from the number of books I’ve put back on the shelves. (I’ve never cared for self-insert fanfic either.)

My priest fic was Catholic priest/Episcopal priest based (though I never specified in the fic to be safe).

DistractedDream @distracteddream.bsky.social · 7d

Episcopalians represent! My parents actually brought me back up from FL as a baby to here to be baptized in the family church. I’ve also kinda dropped bc that specific parish is Old Fashioned but there’s another nearby with an intersectional pride flag out front I want to try.

I went to Catholic school from 4th-12th grades, including having to go through Catechism classes with the rest of the class in 8th, and I still have had to look things up. (I spent far too long researching about defrocking for a fic a year or two ago.)

A very silly little gen fic I whipped up to cheer @mysteriousbean5.bsky.social up last night. I asked her to give me a random word for "no reason at all". She gave me the word "cucumber". This was the result. 🥰

Prompto's eyes lit up as the group passed through the market stalls of Lestallum and he spotted the rare offering at the produce stand: a single solitary cucumber.

I really do need to post my @heresykinktober.bsky.social fics. Stupid brain not working!

DistractedDream @distracteddream.bsky.social · 8d

Same here. The English dub clip misses a bit of that playful edge of the original. He’s still sooooo pretty in that scene with his hair.
