Writing In Sesshōmaru's POV Means Writing An Absurd Amount Of Meandering Contemplations For Friggen

went ahead and redrew this panel :'^)

Sango and Miroku gave this energy

not to sound like a medieval peasant but, cheese and bread. garlic and butter. a menagerie of spices. potatoes. that’s what life is all about right there.

maomao’s dedication to ignoring jinshi’s real identity is truly inspiring. the woman who has solved multiple murders based on minor clues in the environment keeps looking at every sign pointing to jinshi being royalty and going “damn, this could add up to something. good thing I can’t do math!”

Should I post my stories/update my chapters here on Tumblr along with ao3? A lot of people seem to do that, but my chapters can be kind of long and wordy, so I worry it’d be way too much.

"I think you're royally tough to kill...and utterly gorgeous."

I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that they're both beat to hell and back when Zev decides to turn on the charm and by god I love him for it.

Becca or Becks | author + fanby | all/any pronouns

Completely stealing this idea from @voidvulpine, but here is my intro post + one-stop shop for knowing who the hell you've stumbled across in the wild landscape of tumblr. I'm an author, a fanfic writer, a nerd about town, and I mostly use this space to reblog fandom angst and thirst traps.

Fanfics in Progress

Even Gods Need Miracles : Solas x Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition era slow-burn romance

He possessed knowledge beyond any mortal, yet even the Dread Wolf could not foresee what it would mean to fall in love. He does not anticipate his connection with her. Mortal. Dalish. Not a drop of magic in her body save for his own anchor. But no one else can truly understand what it means to become a symbol quite like he does. And she, in turn, parts his layers, his trauma, his pain with gentle fingers and a curious mind. No good can come from the bond forming between them. It will likely be the ruin of them both.

When I Was Afraid to Want You : Rook x Lucanis, Dragon Age: The Veilguard slow-burn romance

It started with that coffee date...and then got immediately complicated from there. Because when you combine two disaster bisexuals who don't know how to communicate their feelings, what you get is an absolute mess. Starting from the almost-kiss and flashing back and forth in Rook and Lucanis's relationship over the course of Veilguard as they gradually try to get their shit together. More or less.

Any professional inquiries need to go through my agent, but if you just want to talk writing, gaming, fandom, whatever, I'm an open book. Drop me an ask or a message or however you like.

Unless you're a fascist. Or a Nazi. Or a TERF. Or a racist. If you're any of those, the door is behind you. Out you go; get wrecked.

Hello and Welcome

SJ | late 20s | ao3 | 18+ blog

Glad to see you've found my little pocket of Tumblr. I thought it'd be nice to have a 'get to know me' post. I decided to create my blog so that I could connect to the communities I write for, share and appreciate art, and maybe throw out my thoughts from time to time. You can call me SJ or Vulpine, or if you point and say "hey, you", that works, too. I go by sapphirejournalist on ao3.

Works in Progress

o Oh God, What the F*ck, and Other Tales - Inuyasha | Sesshōmaru/OC

o They Who Hunt - Baldur's Gate 3 | AU | Astarion/Tav (not yet posted)

o Currently working on a hate/fix-it fic for the series House of Night, because good gods, those books cause me rage

Completed

o To Walk the Path of Death - Dragon Age: Veilguard | Solavellan

o Dragon Age: Rise of the Dread Wolf - Dragon Age | AU | Solavellan (written several years ago while waiting for what became Veilguard)

Unfortunately, while I write a lot, I tend to only focus on one story at a time. I really try not to start works I won't finish. I'm looking forward to posting more in the future, but I find it overwhelming to try and juggle posting multiple stories at once.

If you're interested, please always feel free to ask me about my works and characters! I'd to talk to any readers who have thoughts they'd like to share. In the meantime, thanks for dropping by, and have a lovely day/night
