A Quick Guide to Quick

Since we can pin posts now I thought maybe I would do something less wordy than my other posts to pin.

NEW FOLLOWERS: We're all under siege by bots lately so be sure to put something unbotlike on your blog or profile so I don't accidentally block or report you! It doesn't have to be anything detailed or identifying just something that implies you are a real person (a closeup of your bosom is not going to be convincing, for example). 💜

Hi, I’m Quick, welcome! Here’s where to find things:

Fiction Master Post for all the fanfic I have posted to Tumblr

My AO3 Page if you prefer to read there (all my works are available on both platforms)

Weekly Lukanette Link Roundup - If you’re looking for more Lukanette content, I do a post every Monday(ish) with all the Lukanette fics I’ve found on tumblr for the week.

WIP Reports - Status of my current projects

WIP Wednesday and Six Sentence Sunday for peeks at what I’m working on

My asks are usually open, although I don’t typically take prompts/requests unless I’ve posted to ask for some. 

I'm a mod over at @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers, and on the associated discord server, so you'll see a lot of reblogs from there. However if I reblog something tagged "signal boost," it's usually exactly that and I'm not affiliated with that particular event, just to keep things clear. If you have a lukanette or lukanette adjacent event that you would like to boost feel free to drop a link in my asks or DMs.

This blog is not spoiler-free but you can filter #ml season 5 spoilers, #ml show bible spoilers, or #ml spoilers to cover both. I try to be diligent about tagging everything.

#quickrants is my tag for venting/opinion posts, so feel free to filter that if you don’t want to see that kind of thing.

In Your Dreams

Summary:

When a vindictive witch traps Marinette in an enchanted sleep, she finds herself alone in a strange dreamworld. Her curse takes a turn for the better when a boy she met once upon a time stumbles into her dream landscape. Together they work to find a way to shatter the curse and set Marinette free. Sleeping Beauty, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Lukanette all collide to create a magical world bursting with romance, loss, and faerie shenanigans. Special thanks to Liv for beta reading for me!

Notes:

Bluebells signify humility and kindness, but to hear the bells ring is an ill omen that usually signifies a quick death, for they are the faeries' domain. Take care when you enter an enchanted wood The fair folk roam and the trees have eyes Watch! Flowers tell of a spell- look for the ring as ye should The truth stays hidden, though you'll be told no lies

Prologue: This is a Faerie Story

Spring

Lila slunk through the vibrant blue flowers, closing in on her prey. She would catch the foxy orange sprite and make a trade. Fae folk were notorious for making deals. Her goals in this world were greater than the life she had been born into, and she wasn’t going to let something so trite as the wretched circumstances of her birth thwart her. There was magic in this world, and if she was as clever as she thought she was, it was hers for the taking. 

With a deep breath, Lila stood straight, right in the center of the bluebells, when she heard the faintest tinkle of a bell. The sprite she'd been following turned towards her and grinned, its teeth sharper and more wicked-looking than Lila had first supposed. The sound of the bell played in her mind and made her feel momentarily uneasy. She shook off her apprehension and stood straight and tall, facing the fox-like sprite. “I have come to strike a bargain.”

Trixx’s eyes gleamed but she stayed her hand. The bell had been wrung, but the hour was up to her. The rules were a little fuzzy on the matter of timing, so she smiled wickedly at the intruder and decided that it was high time that she had a little fun. Let Tikki play nice with the humans, Trixx just wanted to play , and her instincts told her that this was what she needed to finally win that bet.

Lila felt a thrill of triumph when the faerie looked at her and tilted her head winsomely, “What did you have in mind?” 

This was her chance. She would change her life. 

Game on, human.

In Your Dreams

Chapter 2: Flight of the Unwilling Prince- Luka

Summary: Luka flees from his home in Scotland when his birthright threatens to overwhelm him. Notes: I wanted to share the song that catapulted a little idea I had into its current fae-riddled obsession. Feel free to listen to In My Dreams by Ruth B. if you like. All my thanks to @blueberry-macaron for beta reading! I really appreciate your help and enthusiasm. Oh- and chapter lengths are likely to vary wildly. Enjoy!

Luka had no intention of becoming king. So when his father had shown up out of the blue—to heap the unwanted responsibility on his bastard son—Luka had taken his mother’s suggestion and fled. Some battles were better won simply by not engaging. His sister and mother would follow once he found a place to settle and sent word. It wasn’t that he was truly opposed to leading their people—he cared for them—but he had not been raised or trained to do so. King Jareth Stone had been wild in his youth and wasn’t much less so now. And though he took financial and educational care of his illegitimate children- Luka, along with his Mother and sister, had been largely left to their own devices. The King had always said he planned to marry and produce an official heir eventually. Only he hadn’t. And he had decided on a whim or perhaps by the impatience of his supporters, that Luka should shoulder the whole affair. 

There was more than Luka’s lack of political education that made him a poor choice for the crown. There was his music. Music spoke to him in a way that was considered… unnatural. In fact, he found his understanding for most people in the music he could hear from their hearts or souls. While an empathetic ruler might sound like a good thing, Luka was reasonably sure that the cacophony that would assault him in such a position would drive him mad.

WIP Wednesday: 04.17.2024

This was not supposed to be an entire series rewrite??? And it's not??? Sorta???

...anyway, we're Mystik Spiral Kitty Section, but we're thinking of changing our name.

It all came together so quickly after that.

While Rose was out, they hauled some equipment up to the roof: a drum kit that was hanging around the basement studio (that Jagged hadn’t actually used since the air had broken), Juleka’s bass, Luka’s favorite guitar, and a few amps.  They spitballed ideas while Rose was gone, tossing around potential band names and set lists.  When Rose finally came back, a mountain of a boy was lurking behind her.

“Ivan!” Marinette cried, her eyes widening in surprise.  He waved sheepishly while he rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand, his eyes trained on the floor.  His face looked flushed, but that could have been the heat.  “You play?”

“…a bit, yeah,” he mumbled.  “Myles says I’m good, but I think she’s biased.”

But as it turned out, Mylène wasn’t biased.  Ivan was honestly, truly good.

Six Sentence Sunday: 04.14.2024

“Luka!” she cried, dropping the money she had been counting and rushing around the counter to him. He was panting, like he had run the entire way there, and soaked — like he had done that running in the rain without a coat. Which was very likely, as it had started pouring a good ten minutes ago. His shoes squeaked against the linoleum as he skidded to a halt in front of her. His hands were on her shoulders before she could speak, and she reached up to hold his wrists in a daze. What on earth…?

“You can tell him no,” he said, his expression hard and words breathless.
