I am OK, first off! As of tomorrow, I am two weeks sober and I will be OK and I feel stronger. I am almost done with rehab, I think, and am persisting at my job and I'm moving to a townhome on December 1st.

Mostly right now I am mad because I am in a Bustafellows phase and I must've written 50k worth of fic at this point and I can't get these characters right. They all talk like assholes and I am sick of them!!! I desperately want to post something for this fandom, the perfect is the enemy of the good, etc. but I caaaaaaan't, it has to be riiiiiiight.

The ideas, in various stages of completion:


-- The post-apocalypse Crow/Teuta (mostly) fic, which is a completed first draft but desperately needs editing and is an iddy, gross, darkfic mess and honestly I'm a little embarrassed to let the freak flag fly as hard as this one does. Otherwise known as, "I Don't Really Ship Fixers M/M, But I Will Make An Exception For Trauma Bonds."

-- A novel set in an alternate history 1920s where Teuta is an alpha Duke with a harem of Fixer omegas. Class issues! Gender issues! A lot of pregnancies/babies! This one has it all, including the question, "Is this sex slavery? Probably." And Helvetica in dresses a lot more often. This one is about 1/5 done and it will be Long and I bought a book for research purposes and am learning I like the 1920s.

-- Some weird thing labeled in GDrive as "if prairie fires and mary penner's great grandson had a baby tbh." Basically: In a loose Western setting, Shu becomes indebted to a settlement of female separatists and the matriarch, recognizing him as Teach's son and thus A Good Boy, asks him to bridal kidnap her daughter, Teuta, before she can be married off for real to a Bad Man. Both he and Teuta reluctantly run away together and actually fall in love, the end. An excuse for romance novel-tier porn and happy ending with babies. The Love Comes Softly AU, if you will.


Are they all long as fuck? Obviously. Will I ever write a story set in the game's setting proper? Who knows. Will I return to Jawbreaker, the NG longfic? I hope so.
