(no subject)

I kinda feel like being on Tumblr has made me forget how to blog properly? Like, it's so easy to just reblog everyone else's content that I got lazy about producing my own. And, I mean, then  Iaccidentally ended up with too many mutuals who were from my real life & don't understand fandom/shipping at all, which made it awkward to be myself bout fandom stuff. So pretty much i'm going back through my old posts on LJ and Tumblr because one is all locked up & the other is a fucking mess and I can't find anything on it, and I'm moving the stuff I still like here. It's kinda helping me recalibrate I think? 

But yeah, this is a roundabout way of saying that I just found a really old inception headcanon from, like, Feb of 2011 and it was flawless ok it was perfect.

So Garth Nix wrote this excellent 7 book series called Keys to the Kingdom. I've only met one other person who's read it and also seen Inception, but look. It's essentially set on a vaguely futuristic earth with superior medical treatments which could feasibly be a universe where dreamsharing could be developing/developed.

And the main character is this boy called Arthur Penhaligon.

Arthur P is baby Arthur.

Fanfiction: "like running with a blindfold" (Duke/Nathan)

like running with a blindfold
Duke Crocker/Nathan Wuornos | Haven | teen+ | ~700 words | AO3 link
Dru tries not to mess with him, she does, but Nathan’s temper always brings out the worst in her. She can never quite help the smirk that curls her lips upward or the tease that turns her tone flirtingly mean. “Nathan,” she acknowledges, with a little tip of her trucker cap. “I came back for the funeral.” 

This was a rough fic to post as abandoned, because I want to finish it SO BADLY. I might eventually come back to it, but I need to let it go for now & having it sitting in my wip folder is so distracting.

I messed with the canon timeline a little I think. Or, at least, I didn't bother to check when Simon Crocker died and I'm sure he died long before Duke/Dru and Nathan's fight. (...Though tbh what I've read more recently says canon doesn't even know when Simon Crocker died so who fucking knows)

Title comes from "Tightrope" by Illy, which obviously reminds me of Duke/Nathan quite a lot

Fanfiction: "fascinating new thing (you delight me)" (Derek/Stiles)

fascinating new thing (you delight me)
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf | teen+ | ~900 words | AO3 link
“Did you really eat a live duck?”
Derek bares his teeth, a smirk teasing the corners of his mouth, and asks, “Are you sure you want to know?”

I blame Tumblr, and the 10 things au that exists. I posted most of this there on my account and, uh, this version mostly just adds some tragic to the end to complete it.

"That guy? I heard he ate a live duck once."
"Everything but the beak and the feet. Clearly he’s a solid investment."
