Hey!! Thank you for the ask @rarepairheathen 🥰

💧Rain - What's the most emotional scene you've ever written?

Ooo maybe the reunion in Reunion? I might be a little melodramatic in my writing, so there are a few climatic scenes that are supposed to be dramatic and emotional

☁️ Cloudy - What inspired you to start writing your WIP? (or in general)

I’m so glad you asked because when I read this question I thought if you! Our conversations inspired In Our Favor and The Odds and the Regencylark Series in general! 🩶🩶🩶 It’s always a pleasure talking story ideas with you!!!

wip tag game

tagged by @thelettersfromnoone thank you, lovely!!

I've been focusing mainly on When Skies Are Gray and it's been paying off (look at me being focused and not a chaotic mess for once. Yay me!)

“What happened?” Ma’s voice was full of worry. He shook his head, “A lot,” he discarded the jacket as soon as he was in the den, right on top of his desk with Ma hot on his heels. “She looked awful,” Ma took him by the arm and forced him to face her. Then she grimaced. “And you look a little -” she wrinkled her nose, “Murdery. Do I need to help hide a body?” “Not yet,” he growled in frustration. Ma sighed, letting go of him, “How is she?” “He’s making her life hell,” all the pent-up anger he let simmer was being wasted. “I’ve been there. She doesn’t deserve this.” Ma frowned and gently as she always was with him, took him by the shoulders, “My son, neither did you.”

WIP File ask: WHEN STARS ALIGN...!!!!!!! (I will not be normal about it)

Avatar

Eeee thank you for playing @rarepairheathen!!

Hahaha. I like this one because I’m sort of ignoring my inner critic to an extent? I’m just trying to give myself enough freedom to tell the story without stressing over all the things I could have done differently or better.

Anyways

Things are going to come to a head in the next two chapters. We’re headed straight into another ball with both Katniss and Peeta pent up and jealous from either end of the ballroom. I can’t decide which POV to do, so I might switch back and forth as I go?

WIP Wednesday: What is the project that has been on your mind most lately (whether or not is has been posted)?

Avatar

Thank you for the ask @rarepairheathen!!

I recently reread When the Stars Align and threw myself back into that! I just posted an update and have some momentum for the next chapter or two!

Before that I was working on a flashback from the Complicated universe… hoping to revisit that soon!

I was also hoping to add an August update to the Fruit Stand - I haven’t given up the idea yet though if it happens it will be short and silly

October THG commentfeast is coming up and I have been thinking about two different potential stories, so we’ll see what I come up with for that!

With all that said, there is a chance anything could be randomly updated at anytime, so we’ll see!

What does everyone want to see updated next?

Fanfic writers directors cut: Dealers Choice!

(Truly I'm not picky, I love them all.)

Avatar

Thank you for playing @rarepairheathen!!

In my head there are two AUs to When the Stars Align that diverge right after the second chapter

  1. Where Katniss is pregnant with the heir at the time of her husband’s death and Peeta never runs off - instead he stays and helps raise his nephew. At some point his nephew has an accident? is deathly sick? and someone at the gentleman’s club makes a toast in poor taste to Peeta prospects soon improving - to which Peeta houses said idiot and Katniss cleans him up after the fight.
  2. Where Peeta still leaves and looses his leg, but Haymitch lets it slip to Katniss who dashes off to tend to him - they grow together until Haymitch writes to Katniss that her impropriety in running off will cause a scandal unless they wed. Peeta (not knowing about Haymitch’s letter or potential scandal) proposes and Katniss, who would have agreed to the marriage before Haymitch’s letter, now assumes Peeta only proposed to save her reputation. And when Peeta learns of the letter assumes Katniss only agreed to the proposal to save her reputation.

Maybe someday I’ll write these canon divergent fanfics to fanfics hahah

Thank you for the ask @rarepairheathen!!
For you, may I present some Prim as Emma from a forgotten draft I just found!!
(A Jane Austen’s Emma/THG AU in which Prim is Emma, Peeta/Katniss are John/Isabella, making Peeta’s eldest brother George Knightly.)

“Next you will claim you orchestrated the match between your sister and my brother.”

She smirks, tilting her chin, “I did and I shall.”

He leans back as he laughs, “No. I allow you many liberties, but not that. Anyone who’s laid eyes on the pair can see they would have happened anyway. She could have been queen of Panem and he a stablehand, and they would have waged wars for one another. No, I will not allow you to take credit for that match.”

“I fear you underestimate my sister’s stubbornness. Besides I do not need your assent, I'm content enough in my own convictions. I had much to contend with, you know. Those trips abroad you insisted your brother take. They would have been married years ago if it were not for you.”

“Ah yes, those trips where he studied the masters, strengthened his craft, and gained notoriety enabling him to settle so young. Are those the holidays you speak of? Yes, you’re right, ill advised indeed.”

There’s a guffaw from the other side of the room and Mr. Abernathy folds his paper. “If you two are quite finished tormenting each other, perhaps we might have some music.”

Thank you for the ask @rarepairheathen!! I’m going to go slightly off script and do a
Snippet Sunday
From When the Stars Align because your first word had me in my drafts of the next chapter!

“Roses, really?” Peeta mutters under his breath.

Not softly enough because Odair hears him, “the roses offend you?”

“Who sent them?”

Katniss plucks the card from the blooms, “Sir Crane.”

3 & 6 & 8 (questions for fic writers)

Avatar

Thank you for the questions @rarepairheathen!!🥰

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

The most frequent bookmark tags I see reference - small, soft, sweet lol. That’s feels about right.

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

Oooo!

In Misunderstandings - Finnick and Annie are engaged for far longer than they would be in regency times, but that’s because they can’t get married until Finnick is out of mourning - they met when Annie moved to the county to look after her great aunt Mags. Finnick and Annie formed an attachment but knowing his uncle Snow would not approve they concealed their engagement until after his uncle had passed.

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

I always blank at song questions, but my mind went to Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson - it feels like a lazy day grow back together Everlark oneshot kinda song.

Not sure if you're doing WIP Wednesday, but are there any new plot bunnies or anything you've been working on/obsessing over this week?

Lololol

I am struggling to work on my Districts Apart piece 😭 If the due date wasn’t (checks date) tomorrow😱, I might switch gears to a Sleepless in Seattle inspired AU…

Canon divergence (rebellion happened several years earlier) - Adult Prim calls into Johanna's radio show to ‘complain’ that her sister needs a boyfriend (a sisterly dynamic in which Prim appreciates all Katniss has done for her, but feels like she can’t move on with her own life and leave Katniss behind, so is hoping to give her a kick in the pants to move forward.) Katniss begrudgingly gets on the phone and talks about their parents love - how it was like magic and how she wouldn’t settle for anything less. (They use nicknames on air)

Peeta is Meg Ryan - in a magic-less engagement(?) and happens to hear the broadcast - he’s enchanted by Katniss and her story reminds him of one his father told and a girl that he knew as a kid with two braids and a voice that could charm the birds.

Peeta’s a journalist - his reoccurring column is ‘recounting acts of goodness’ where he writes heartwarming stories of kindness from across Panem (it’s Katniss’s favorite). Maybe Peeta tries to convince his editor there’s a story with this woman so he can get in contact with her? Meanwhile Plutarch is trying to convince Katniss and/or Prim to do some sort of reality dating show?

Maybe Delly mails a letter on Peeta’s behalf to Katniss and meeting on the roof of the old tribute center?

Lol - 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for asking @rarepairheathen!!

Thank you for the ask @rarepairheathen!! (Idk what’s wrong with my asks and drafts)

  • Is it my favorite Everlark to write?

Hmmm, Idk it just sort of mashes up two of my favorite things, so I like that about it, but it is easier to get hung up on details - especially as a historical romance enthusiast but not necessarily a history enthusiast... if that makes sense?

  • Sense and Sensibility Regency!Lark

I love this!

Prim always takes on an overly romantic role in my mind so she's a perfect Marianne! And Katniss feels right for Elinor. Especially as the one who's holding everyone together and being practical after her father passes.
