I am so

Honestly just reeling still from all your reactions and JFC it makes me remember why I loved writing so much. Truly beside myself. 

Now, yes I did have a sort of description for Levy. I sketched her years ago and boy it's a bad sketch but I had sort of ciri's outfit in mind for her but just, simpler. These days in the fic she's wearing a cloak with a hood over it all. She lets her hair just kinda roam free and doesn't tie it back. She's since ditched the headband. Also she probably has more pouches than this? Outfit design isn't my strong suit.

Silver for Monsters -- Ch. 9 "Exposed"

Pairing: Gajeel/Levy

Series: Fairy Tail, Witcher AU

Notes: Shorter than usual, but I had this scene in my head for a while and really just wanted to write some tension. Next chapter will have some actual plot but we love some prickly Gajeel.

--

The horse made it about twenty feet with the bolt in its flesh before it collapsed, riderless, into the dirt. 

Gajeel barely manages to catch Levy gracelessly before she lands, thrown fully from the back of the beast. His hand latches onto her upper arm and the momentum spins him harshly to follow her down, slowing the impact just enough to avoid broken bones. He stumbles to keep from falling on top of her completely and the two lock eyes for a second to take quick stock. The mage’s eyes are wide as his sweep over her, and he realizes, belatedly, that his perspective is skewed and the blood dappling her clothing is thankfully not hers.

I don't really do short updates, but I'm thinking of just doing a short chapter update for SfM. It just has a natural break where the next thing would begin, but it's about half of what my usual length is. Buttttt I like what I have. Idk maybe I make the rules.

Silver for Monsters -- Ch. 8 "Ghosts"

Pairing: Gajeel/Levy

Series: Fairy Tail, Witcher AU

Notes: Finally found the motivation to finish this chapter! It's a bit transitional, a bit tense, I'm hoping to get into some juicier stuff in the next chapter. Enjoy!

--

“Is it true what the folk say? That Witchers are emotionless?”

A small, half-dead fire cast weak light on the Witcher and the sorceress. He’d set it, and maintained it long enough to roast the small rabbit he shot shortly after setting camp. It was a meager meal, but they’d both brought enough supplemental vittles to make it a worthwhile meal.

Gajeel grimaced at the broad question, with so little nuance. He leveled a disappointed stare at her, arching a single brow, “Tell me you’re not so thick.”

Reblogging this to bump up the story again while I work on the next chapter!

Motivation came out of goddamn nowhere and I'm finally working on chapter 9 of Silver for Monsters 🙌 I am flying through the start of it because of reasons and here's hoping I can keep the steam for the rest.

Real talk: how long do you take posting chapters on fanfic? Cause part of me is like “oh it’ll be fine if I take a couple months cause life- out of all people AO3 understands.”

But then I wonder if I severely overestimate the attention span of current fans in the wake of instant gratification and consumerism.

My fandom brothers! Doth ye still wait years for a fic chapter update? Is there hope for a long winded scribe?

@neen-writes had an interesting experience relevant to this!

(as for me I try to go weekly but also at my own pace bc this is a hobby and if I burn myself out or make it stressful, it stops being fun and I quit writing for 12 years again xo)

Ohai yeah! I updated a fic I hadn't touched in 5 years on a whim. It's tough because the majority of the people who were following it initially are all gone, so there isn't much engagement with it(though it has found a handful of readers who enjoy it still!) However. I still find a lot of enjoyment with writing, but even when I was writing regularly I have really sporadic updates.

As a reader there really wouldn't be anything better for me than an old fic suddenly updating tho!

If you are hesitant to comment on AO3 because it's just fanfic and it probably doesn't matter to the writers, know that I got a one word comment ("Beautiful") on a fic nobody ever has bothered reading before and it made my night. Merry Christmas to me! Seriously, though, comments feel so good to writers! Please feed us! We're hungry!

Hoping to dig back up some motivation to keep at silver for monsters and finish up the chapter i was working on, but boy howdy it just up and left. Trying to balance the urge to write with a challenging embroidery project and just being in a bit of a slump but I'll get there. I think.
