Pairing: Eren/Mikasa (Eremika)
Word Count:3521Summary: The Rumbling's rapid approach prompts Eren and Mikasa to reflect on their relationship. In turn, memories of quiet, private moments bubble to the surface as they struggle to make sense of their feelings for one another. [Eremika. Canonverse.]
Excerpt:
She stares into her haggard, stoic reflection, skin tingling from the chill of the frigid water droplets beading down her face.
"I couldn't stand to look at a slave who always followed orders without question."
Her eyes wander over to the lone drop sliding over the scar beneath her eye.
The light flickers, the unrelenting gush of the faucet a muffled drone in her ears.
"Mikasa… ever since we were kids, I've always hated you."
A lump begins to form in her throat, and she curses the prickle felt behind her eyes because she starts to think that maybe it's true.
Sneak peek of my next Yunoelle fanart inspired by the amazing fanfic Inflection Point by @fengreyfront !
I used this base, but I can’t decipher what the artist’s name is on the picture, so if anyone knows please inform me so I can give credits to them as well!
i don’t know why i didn’t realise this before but everyone in yuri on ice is an unreliable narrator. every single character.
yuuri sees himself as a dime a dozen skater when he’s extremely talented.
yurio sees himself as this desperate person running out of time that everyone is against when he’s just a child beginning his career that everyone (ESPECIALLY yuuri) is rooting for.
victor thinks everyone is bored of him when everyone (from the skaters to the audience) is honestly a little bit in love still and desperately want him back on the ice.
JJ thinks everyone looks down on him for being trained by his parents or w/e but they’re just like ‘he’s a great skater but on god he’s annoying’
they’re all walking talking imposter syndromes, it’s just that they look normal when compared with yuuri anxious-mess katsuki
How’s the next chapter of inflection point coming along ?
I’ll tell you something about my process.
I pour hours and hours into writing a chapter, then hours and hours into editing and revising and editing and revising and editing and revising to death. The constant back and forth of “Was this sentence too out of character? Yes it was. Would he/she really say that? No way. Would they act this way in this situation? Would they even be in the situation?” etc. This sometimes means scrapping an entire draft and starting from square one multiple times (this has already been the case with this entire story and the last two chapters).
Then, when I find it satisfactory (which is a difficult place to get to for a perfectionist), I post it.
Then I suffer from burnout after pushing myself too much and overdoing it.
Then I go into a bit of an existential fic writer depression of, “wow did I just spend that many hours of my life on that?”
Then I try to step away and tend to all the things I neglected while I was writing.
So, it takes a while to come back around from that and want to write again.
So to circle back to your question, haven’t made progress unfortunately. Haven’t touched the existing potato draft. I completely lack motivation at the moment, sorry to say.
I mean it when I say reviews/comments are the only thing that hold me accountable to move forward. I’m not getting paid for this shit lol. I get nothing from writing other than creative release and personal satisfaction, and maybe some words of validation if readers are kind enough to take the time to humor me. But that’s it. It’s all a time consuming, painstaking labour of love. So when the joy and excitement of writing leaves me, there’s no real incentive or reason for me to carry on.
However, when people really show enthusiasm for my work, it not only helps ease the existential depression and lifts my spirits so I feel like I didn’t waste my time, but I also end up feeling way too guilty not to continue lol.
So I’m still in a my post-update slump, and it’s prolonged even more because I just wrote another fic for another fandom.
Can’t really say when I’ll get back to it, but hopefully soon?
Hiiiiiii!! Ive read ur story inflection!. It is soooo good. I love how the tension keeps building up and the exchange betwee. Yuno and noelle, it really made me smile form ear to ear. Im so happy that you make it beautiful. Ilove this ship so much. Thank you for making such a wonderful story.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I really, really appreciate it, and I’m glad you’re enjoying it :)
so i’m watching avatar the last airbender again because of fucking course i am and after zuko beats katara at the north pole he tells her “you rise with the moon. i rise with the sun” so now i’m convinced zuko is the most insufferable morning person ever and katara makes coffee at 9pm.
zuko at 5 am, seeing katara walking around in her pajamas: wow i’ve never seen you up this early
katara: i’m getting ready for bed
morthils
i didn’t intend for this to be a shipping thing i was just thinking about them as like roommates but honestly?
zuko: help my wife’s a night owl and she sleeps till 2 pm every day
