PLL OF COURSE because it’s so near and dear to my heart forever and always, and you do such a fantastic job with their mutual issues and Belle’s disability and anxiety. Probably Transposing Digits next. It’s such a cute verse, very fluffy and wonderful, with bonus Bae.
Thank you! Your support with PLL means everything to me. Iām always scared Iām not going to do it justice and then you comment with the beta read and well I couldnāt do it without you *hugs*
My fave fic of yours is definitely Painting Layers of Love because it’s just so beautiful, but I really like everything in the extended Transposing Digits ‘verse as well. :D Fluffy fluff ftw!
Awww thank you! Yeah PLL is definitely close to my heart.
Yeah The Right Wrong Number verse is so fluffy I think it should come with a tooth-rotting warning š That was the fic that could. Honestly it started off as an AMR oneshot, prompts expanded it to 5 chapters, and then I added another oneshot and two more multi-chapters to the verse. It was totally unexpected and all from one prompt oneshot.
My favourite of your stories will always be the AMAZING gift you wrote for me! I still go back and read it along with the smutty one shot! *hugs* Thank you so much for writing fics for our fandom!
Awwww *hugs you* you are so welcome! You were the best giftee I think itās possible to have. You certainly made RSS the most enjoyable gift exchange Iāve ever done. Iām so glad you enjoyed the verse š
Fav Fic Ask: You probably know that I have a soft spot for Painting Layers of Love. Well, more than a soft spot; its my favorite of yours. There aren’t many agoraphobic characters out there and her and Gold’s relationship is so sweet. <3
Thank you! Belle and Gold care about each other a lot, itās slow burn friends to lovers really, so sweet and loving is what I was aiming at š
I got tagged in things š
Thanks @ifishouldvanish for the 11 questions!
1) What kind of car do you drive? If you donāt drive, what is your primary mode of transportation? I have a 13 year old Toyota Yaris, though to be honest I donāt usually go out on my own so my mother tends to drive.
2) What was your favorite cartoon/tv show as a child? X-Men: Evolution probably. I used to try and get up at 7am on a Sunday to make sure I didnāt miss it because it could be on at anytime between then and 9am.
3) Describe your favorite pair of shoes that you own. I literally have three pairs of shoes. The āposhā shoes which can be worn with formal trousers, they are black leather slip-on flats. Then the shoes I wear all the time which are Asics black trainers because I need the support for my knee. Then an old battered white pair of Asics trainers for doing rough work. Obviously the shoes I wear all the time are my favorite. I go literal months/years without wearing any other shoes.
4) What perfume/cologne do you wear, if any? I donāt wear any.
5) Rock, paper, or scissors? Rock
6) What was the last thing you bought? I kinda posted about that earlier. It was the steam sale so I got a couple of games Iāve been wanting for months.
7) Pick a Ninja Turtle. Michelangelo because thatās the only one I can remember. I wasnāt a fan.
8) What is the most annoying thing you can imagine? There are too many annoying things in the world, and whatever it is annoying me at the time seems like the most annoying thing in existence. Iām going to say generally though itās real life people not leaving me alone. I like my space.
9) Rate the movie Space Jam on a scale of 1-10. Yikes itās been years, maybe close to two decades since I saw this (I feel old now). I was a child. I think I liked it. Didnāt it have quite a cool soundtrack? Iām going to go with 6.
10) What should/could you be doing right now instead of dicking around on the internet? What I should always be doing – writing.
11) Recommend a song. Odd One by the Sick Puppies.

āNotification of Steam Summer Saleā
Erm oops?
On the plus side I got five games (three from my wishlist) for better than half price or $5 each, canāt really argue with that. Now I just need to exercise some self-control and stop testing them all out and do something productive…
Writing meme: I love your work, one of my favorites though is Painting Layers of Love. The way you handle Belle’s agoraphobia is touching, especially for me because I am agoraphobic from time to time. I’d love to see you tackle another phobia, like an OCD Gold.
Awww thank you *blushes* you are far too kind. Your words mean a lot and I hope the story will continue to live up to expectations. I know, I know, I need to update Painting Layers of Love. I want to and I will, itās been a difficult few months and time has just vanished on me. Iām trying hard to get back into it.
Regarding your suggestion of Gold suffering with OCD ā¦ yeah thatās going to be a thing. I started thinking about it and *poof* a plot came into existence. No promises as to when, I have so many fics on the list and of course WIPās come first, but this is definitely something Iād like to write.
touch deprived characters AU or magical healing sex AU ?
Touch deprived characters 100%.
Magical healing sex basically sounds like an excuse for PWP and I like my plot. It could be a fun oneshot, Iāll have to see if itās on the AMR prompt list actually. I supposeĀ āfuck or dieā is the most extreme version of it but that has consent issues which I run a mile from. If the characters are already together then I guess itās alright. I suppose it might also be ok if their mental state wasnāt impaired, so they could make their own decisions, but the situation would sort of force them one way so Iām a bit dubious.
I do have on my ideas list a rejected prompt from The Great Rumbelle Blow-off which wasĀ āRumple has a boner that wonāt go away until Belle decides to do something about itā but thatās established relationship, so theĀ āconflictā would just be that Rumple was embarrassed to admit the magical mishap and ask for help. An AU scenario could be that say Belle worked for an organisation and had to keep her work secret even from her husband, then thereās a mishap and she gets sex pollen basically. So she needs Gold but how would they explain it to him without revealing the secret? They canāt just send Belle home for Gold toĀ ācureā her as she wouldnāt be acting like herself and he would understandably be concerned.
Anyway I picked touch deprived characters because itās a chance for sweet loving slow burn romance. Where they support one another, and take their time, and thereās a lot of emotions and they care for each other. It can be angsty, I mean it doesnāt have to be a new relationship, it could be an established relationship but say Gold was imprisoned and kept in solitary for some reason, and then when heās released they have to rebuild their relationship. Basically there are options and like I said itās sweet and loving, full of mutual support and thatās very much what I like to read.
Fantasy AU or Scifi AU ?
This ask is like asking me to choose between my hands or something – Iām attached to both! Seriously sweet merlin I love both.
I mean fantasy is magic and monsters and nothing we were ever trained for. Sci-fi is aliens and spaceships and any kind of cool tech toys you want to write about. Mashing them together is fun. That way you can have both. Although I suppose in doing so I reveal my answer.
At the end of the day I come down on theĀ āmagic is science we donāt yet understandā side. I look at fantasy through a sci-fi lens. I love Stargate a little more than I love Once Upon a Time. So there it is really. Give me my space battles, and alien invasions. Give me energy shields, and energy weapons and Iron Man suits and transport beams.
Though I still think mashing them together is best. I just donāt like to choose.
