realizing that for the rest of my life I will never hear Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere without thinking of Bach AU

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

did not realize I still had Animorphs feelings that could be activated until I saw a headline about a TV series in development but I guess you never forget your first fandom

was literally just thinking about this posture of sneering superiority I keep seeing and yes, this <3

021

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

thinking about this fic more than ever btw (it’s possible I may have tricked myself via fic writing into making violet one of my favorite characters???)

I have my critiques about this season but loved the Hy & El throughlines and the EFGH of it all

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

continuing this thread and man everyone in this season is busy struggling through their own tortured choices and consequences, including Colin's wife, and Colin's truly just blithely living his best life with his boys drinking and eating cheese

unfortunately my migration of fic drafts to proton drive has been stymied by a lack of comic sans

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

🥰 I still think about it all the time tbh! it’s such a specific atmosphere and setting, one of my most fave bton AUs

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

rip Benedict's rock collection though

Gustav walked so Alfie could run (is this anything)

Gustav from Ever After wearing a cap with a feather in it, standing in a sunny field shrugging and making a face

Alfie from Bridgerton in a dark room holding up a silver dress with the dialogue "but that is no matter at a masquerade" captioned on the screen

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

endeavoring to use this for fandom purposes again so my main commentary about #bridgerton s4 so far is that someone seems to have watched Ever After (complimentary)

hello, I sadly am not, but I hope you find this person! happy new year!

100

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

is this my sign to finally finish it this year, maybe

020

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

a weird little personal fic tradition I've latched onto is that I mentally assign a different josh ritter song to each finished fic I write. the giant 95k WIP that haunts me has never had one, but "wild ways" came out today and feels exactly right

230

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

work procrastination this week is definitely driving me to my drafts as well

120

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

I think this came from @starksfelling.bsky.social but “some words are better than no words” always helps me feel better about incremental progress!

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

also, tbh, maybe I needed to age seven years in order to write what this fic became. sometimes different life experiences allow you to write something differently and there’s a beauty in that too! anyway, even if no one reads it, I’m proud of finishing something after so long.

020

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

hello, I wrote a thing. specifically a superstore fic I started seven years ago. it’s never too late to finish your wips: archiveofourown.org/works/65562514

A screenshot of an AO3 fic titled “back to you my heart went skipping” by firstglances (amalin), posted 14 May 2025, in the fandom Superstore (TV). The tags read, “No Archive Warnings Apply, Jonah Simms/Amy Sosa, Amy Sosa, Jonah Simms, Post-Town Hall, Character Study, Discussion of Pregnancy, Discussion of Abortion, No Actual Decisions, First Trimester Exhaustion, Getting Together, Sex.” The fic description is an excerpt:

"Let's just go," Amy says. She's pretty sure her shirt lost a button when Jonah yanked it open, and she can only imagine what her hair looks like. There's a bruise forming on her back where she backed up into the counter, and all she can think about is Jonah's mouth warm on hers, the look in his eyes when he leaned in and tugged her underwear down over her hips, how close they really, actually came
to—

"Walk of shame!" Marcus starts to chant as she turns to head toward Glenn's office. "Walk of shame! Walk of shame!"

"Jerry says good luck," Sandra calls after her.

Amy refuses to dignify either of them with a reply.

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

wait lol I just saw you also said emotional and character-driven ahaha I suppose there’s a reason we’re friends and writing buddies

120

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

23. oh this is hard! character-driven, detailed, emotional? 24. read, if I can! otherwise do something mindless and physically occupying, like swimming or walking or cooking, that lets my mind wander and usually find some inspiration again. or sometimes just rest and leave it for a bit!

110

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

3. I have so many WIPs! for the time traveler’s wife au, I think…hopeful I’ll finish? still interested? for the 90K HP fic that’s technically been my current WIP for 14 years, I feel deeply tied to it and also afraid I’m going to just keep dragging it around for another decade+

110

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

probably all the research I did on regency lingerie and terminology for lavender haze, at least in terms of going down a rabbit hole! and then I just have so much random boston info from the bachelor au, including a woman-owned wine bar whose socials I still follow for some reason

010

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I don’t think the bachelor au needs a proper sequel, but the “5 conversations anthony has after edmund is born” fic is set in that universe and I’d like to finish that someday, just to add a little postscript to their happy ending! and the siena/edwina and eloise/phil fics in that universe

010

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

2. I have recently picked up an old gilmore girls wip so, rory post-the netflix special that I hated, trying to get her life together; 12. apparently time travel! & broadly, I do think a lot of my wips right now are about timing, and patience, and right person/wrong time and how that can evolve

120

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

also 19 if I may ask a second!

100

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

following a writer to a random new fandom and getting hooked is such a delightful fandom occurrence!

000

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

anyway if you remember which fics converted you to a ship, what were they? (most of mine I came to on my own or from following friends, but there are a few fics that solidified certain ships for me, namely honey_wheeler's "the summer queen" for jonsa and everything edwardina wrote for glee)

220

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

woke up to a comment telling me that my fic, which they read back in the pre-ao3 days, was the very fic that had once made them like that ship so much, and if there's a higher honor out there I don't know of it

190

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

wrote the ending (bc I constantly write out of order) and made myself cry, if anyone's wondering how it's going

170

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

as fan of writing out of order, I wholly endorse this

110

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

plus S4 in its own zany way handles all their grief so tenderly and well and imo pays respect to their relationship and what she was to Ryan (and everyone else) way more than a dramatic up-and-down endgame ever would have! perhaps also a hot take but I stand by it

120

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

yes, yes, yes to all of this

220

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

this is a very good selling point! honestly the biggest fun of an AU for me is trying to fit in all the tiny canon details possible so I’m intrigued

000

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

5300 words now and currently wondering if I need to read the Rokesby books to write this

140

amalin @amalin.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

accidentally wrote 3500 words of a violet & edmund time traveler’s wife au today. who knows if anything will actually come of it but I did successfully make myself very sad!

A now falls asleep better to singing than shh-ing so I’m back on my bullshit (singing ATWTMVFTV on repeat as a lullaby multiple times a day)

A text exchange that says “took one full All Too Well 10 min but he finally fell back asleep lol” and the response “Good job”
