I wrote that shit for me.
I am my target audience.
I just decided to share βπΎπ
Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.
Gay people will be like βthis is my comfort show!β And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed
Me: I'll do a simple manga panel colouring to finally draw faster in digital
Me to myself: FUCK OFF
Raw, next question
New page posted up! I'm doing a 25% off all new patrons until December 31, including commission tiers.
No bc I fr paced up and down my room, phone in hand with the draft open on ao3, just physically unable to press the post button for like a good 10 mins with a mantra of "Should I really post this shit??" Bc 1, it's my first ever fic, and 2, it was based around a recent heartbreak, so I was sweating, but then I ended up overthinking to the point of having yet another existential crisis of "who tf cares, I am a spec in this vast, unending universe and we're all gonna die one day." So I was like "Fuck it.", posted it, turned of my phone and took a nap lol
After that, it was easier :)
i get so happy when people that are new to fanfic writing, or just writing in general, post their work on ao3. despite their doubts, despite their fear of something so personal and vulnerable being perceived, they still press that button, and i turn into the equivalent to a proud mom cheering on the sidelines. like yes! you did that! your work is worth seeing! you deserve to share your passion for and be part of a community! iβm so proud of you!
this look lives in my head rent free

On Christmas morning, under fluffy blankets, cuddled up with Touya, his arms wrapped around you, the distinct festive, joyful feeling in the air, you wake up warm.
His snowy white hair shimmers in the morning light filtering through the curtains, his staples glittering.
You wake him with kisses peppered wherever you can reach, and he returns the favour doubled.
Most of the day is spent just enjoying each other's company. After a late breakfast, more of a brunch really, you mostly cuddle on the couch, watching Christmas movies, with hot chocolate and cookies in hand.
As the sun sets, you cook and eat dinner together. You both dress up for the occasion, him in black slacks and a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, you in a little red sweater dress. In your little bubble of joy, it's just the two of you and nothing else matters.
After dinner, it's finally time to exchange gifts, and you struggle to hide your excitement.
The gifts, small as they are, sit under the Christmas tree which twinkles in a variety of colours. The fireplace in the corner crackles, casting playful shadows and warmth around the room, and the entire place smells like cinnamon and pine.
Itβs cozy and warm, mirroring the way he makes you feel almost perfectly.
"You first, baby. Merry Christmas." Touya smiles, holding out a small box to you. It's about the size of your palm and the wrapping paper is a shining sliver, wrinkled and slightly messily wrapped, but you can tell that he tried his best, and something within you goes warm and gooey.
You take the gift gently, carefully peeling the wrapping paper off. The meticulous process is probably driving the man crazy, but the paper is so pretty, and you can tell he worked hard to wrap it as best he could.
When you finally open the box itself, you can't help the small gasp of awe that escapes you.
A gorgeous necklace with a thin silver chain and pendant. The charm is a silver, hollow heart, with a small flame made of blue fire opal, an exact match to his own flames, hanging from the middle, and you love the way it sparkles under the warm glow of the fireplace.
It's very clearly a representation of himself, and something about that makes you giddy. Like a claim, like he's always with you, like he's showing that he himself is a permanent fixture within you, within your heart and life, and it's so perfect, you can't help the tears that trickle down your cheek.
"It's beautiful. Put it on me?" Your voice trembles with emotion, and Dabi feels his heart stutter when pretty, teary eyes look at him with such awe.
He takes a breath to try to steady his heart, swallowing around a lump in his throat as he nods, gesturing for you to turn around.
His fingertips are warm where they brush your skin, moving whatever stray hairs that are in the way, the metal cool against you where it rests. "I can't do it legally, so I need to show you how much I love you and what you mean to me any other way I can." He murmurs, voice low and warm. Goosebumps appear where his breath hits and where he touches as he clasps it around your neck, and you melt into his touch when you feel mismatched lips press to the nape of your neck.
You turn back around to face him, and your breath hitches a bit at the raw love and adoration held within his azure gaze, so soft on you, with a hint of something darker, something possessive at the sight of it around your throat.
You shiver at the slightly crazed look in his eyes, loving the way he shows his love, borderline obsession with you, even in these small ways. "I love it, thank you Touya." You say, voice all soft and sappy as you touch it gently, like it's something so very precious, because it is.
"You're welcome baby, Merry Christmas." He smiles so sweetly, you have to lean over to press a kiss to those lips.
"Okay your turn!" You clap excitedly, leaning over to get your gift to him.
You hand it to him, practically vibrating in your seat as you watch him open it.
Touya unwraps his own gift quickly, to the point you're worried he might give himself a papercut on the dark blue paper, to reveal a ring box.
"You're not proposing, are ya Doll?" He says playfully, smirking at you, and you grin.
"Something like that."
His expression changes, from playful to confused shock as his eyes dart to the box before back at you. You can't help but giggle at his reaction, knowing it's not negative, it's just that it legally can't happen and you both know it. "Just open it, Tou."
He rolls his eyes fondly, easing it open, and his expression crumples into something sappy and adoring as he looks at the ring within. It's black with a thin sliver band carved around it.
"It's tungsten, so it can withstand your hottest temperatures, and I know you always wanted rings but you don't wear them because they'll melt, so I got you this andβ" your nervous rambling is cut off when he cups your cheek, pulling you into a kiss.
"I love it, Dolly. Thank you. Just know
that you're stuck with me, yeah?" He murmurs against your lips. You smile into the kiss and whisper softly, "I love you."
You feel him grin as he whispers back, just as soft, "I love you too", before deepening the kiss, licking his way into your mouth.
You kiss like you're sealing a promise, like it's final; like it's until death do you part.
It's loving and possessive, complete adoration and obsession, and you can never get enough of it, of each other.
When you pull away, you're both panting softly, lips swollen and pupils dilated.
"I think I have another present to open up, hm?" His eyes are hot on you as heated fingers trail up your thigh.
A coy smile plays on your lips as you stand and start walking backwards toward the bedroom, teasingly pulling the collar of your dress to the side to show off the white strap of your lacy lingerie beneath. "Come get it then."
His eyes darken as he playfully chases you to the room, shrieks of your laughter echoing through the apartment.
That Christmas night, you both thoroughly enjoy your presents, wrapped up in each other's arms, with the silver and blue of your necklace bunched together at the base of your throat, and the silver and black of his ring on his finger, glinting in the bright moonlight.
