So I didn't update this for like ten months and it fell something like forty fics behind. Let's ignore that and redo it, huh? I'm going to try to limit how much I say about these (other than the long works) because there's a ton of them, and I'm grouping them roughly into categories.
Also, I'm putting it behind a read more because it's a long list.
They made divorce so expensive because they knew ppl would do it for kink reasons
Me & my man getting our bi-yearly divorce so we can yell accusations at each other & then have a hot passionate extramarital affair for about 3 days before we re-marry
May I introduce you to my 23rd husband? (it's been the same guy 23 times)
The Phantom Menace is the best movie ever because the entire premise is essentially “Amazon has obtained its own private army and now two future samurai have to stop it from forcing Natalie Portman’s planet to use its services by cutting through Jeff Bezos’s army of robots and attempting to convince Congress to do something about it SPOILER WARNING Congress doesn’t do jack so Natalie Portman has to take matters into her own hands also the day is saved by a redneck kid the samurai picked up when the car broke down”.
Acting like there needs to be a single unified fandom consensus on imagery and fanmade lore and symbolism and things left ambiguous in canon and the like with no deviation will kill the patient she needs a ton of different interpretations that all contradict each other to live

Remembering at the start of Junior Year when Aelwyn was revealed to be a Middle School Teacher in spite of being 19 and not even a high school graduate and everyone was like 'wait that's completely nuts how does that make any sense' and then it turned out that she blackmailed her way into a job she was unqualified for and uninterested in and ended up fucking out of in the middle of a school year (maybe without actually telling anyone she was quitting) to be a substitute pirate librarian and cat mom, to which the common consensus was 'yeah okay that tracks'.
These tags made me choke on a drink this morning and are an absolute joy
Your child is a werewolf. You're struggling to both keep their condition a secret and give them a normal life. Full moons are always a challenge. One day child protective services visit you on a report of your child's scars and monthly missed school days.

I love you 14 strength Adaine. I love you so much.
I guess +2 doesn't feel super crazy, but 10 is average person stats anything that diverges from that is notable in some way, realistically speaking. Also going from negative strength to that spontaneously is pretty insane. Is she buff??😭. That or like magically strong. I think either is cool? Considering how her strength score shot up I think it's fun to think of it as like, magic flowing through her and drastically increasing her physical strength whenever she does something strenuous (or just punches people).
I'd also imagine that not many of her fellow wizard students have strength that is worth much of anything. If there's one dump stat for full casters (except for clerics) its gotta be strength right?? Maybe there's multiclassers with decent strength, (I'd imagine artificer or cleric would be common if we assume people in universe have the awareness to try to optimise? They did say Gorgug's is odd) maybe some guy just has really good stats overall. Or an odd wizard build. But all in all I think Adaine is probably one of the only strong wizards at school, which is funny to me.
She isn't drawn to have like, too much muscle. She has that typical elven elegant whatever caster silhouette. So that's extra funny to me, she's so very silly.
I was gonna bring up Oisin, then I remembered he "got buff over summer" (or smth like that). I wonder if that reflects in his stats or is more him having a dragon appropriate growth spurt and filling out more without getting much stronger? Either way, funny. Was that an intentional parallel to Adaine suddenly getting strong? Interesting to think about, I guess. I just wanted to say that I like the idea of him having genuinely had a crush on Adaine but. Y'know. And after his resurrection he tries to approach her and she's like cool. I'll consider forgiving you and being your friend only if I get to punch you. "What?" Punched. Wow what a strong wizard.
23, 32, and 33 ??
When do you usually write? (day of the week or time of day)
For a while there it was 'every waking non-working moment'. These days it's more when the mood seizes me, but often it's those 'I woke up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep' times.
Which fic would you most like to write a sequel to?
Oh this is easy - I really want to revisit and write a sequel to Dreams which is my first class swap AU.
Which of your fic titles is your favorite?
This is cheating a bit, but I love some of the series theme titling and my personal favorite is my name wipe series, where the thing happening is What's in a Name? and the follow-ups from formerly-Adaine and formerly-Aelwyn's PoVs respectively are their answers to that question - Purpose and Identity.
Which fic do you think is your funniest?
Which fic is closest to your heart?
I think my writing is generally pretty funny, but probably the funniest is Five Times Assassination Attempts were made on the Traitor Elven Oracle without a Death, and One Time with.
Closest to my heart is either Patron which is the odd serious duck out in the Pact series, about Aelwyn working through trauma and, much more personally, severe depression, or it's Camp which is the culmination of my side of a collaboration series with a great friend and also features Rogue Adaine overcoming a lot of her own worst self-training
19 and 26?
19 Which headcanon do you always include in your stories?
Hm, for Fantasy High stuff this one's easy enough - aroace Adaine, aropan Aelwyn. I actually MIGHT do a non-aro Aelwyn story at some point soon, but consistently this is my headcanon for those two.
26 Which fic do you think is your scariest?
Ooh, I don't know! I don't think my fics are generally that scary, but maybe my Aelwyn and Riz focused Don't Rest Your Head inspired fic?
15, 18, & 20 for fic writers asks
Ooh, interesting. I think there's a lot of ways to take this. I would love to recapture the fire I had when writing Lunacy, but I don't think that's quite what this is looking for - this is the fic that I'd most want to CHANGE, to me, and I think for me the answer is Familiar, because I had Biz appear and didn't kill him off and had to write a sequel (that I do deeply love) to fix that.
I also kind of want to rewrite or expand into a multi-chapter my time travel Ayda raising Arthur fic.
18. What trope have you not written yet, but want to?
I've actually got some plans for a Peggy Sue fic but I haven't written one; while I've done time travel it's not of that style.
20. What was the last thing you researched for a story?
Names of gods of thieves throughout DnD settings to see if I wanted to steal any for the name of Adaine's god in Missing.
