The less-personal public update

If any of you see my stuff here but not on Tumblr, I thought I'd just update you that my latest self-medication media obsession, of all things, has been the podcast Dungeons and Daddies. It's absolutely delightful, a devastating blend of comedy and emotions (it made me feel so much! So intensely! And also laugh until I felt literally dizzy in the next breath!), and I've unfortunately developed parasocial relationships with all the players because they're so charming and charismatic and creative. Listening to them talk about their characters, listening to them create this great story using a game - it makes me want to make things. (And then it makes me sad because I have no projects to make.)

Well, I might have no original projects to make, but I did manage to crank out some fanfic for it - and it was a relief to know that despite the general dryness of my brain throughout the first year of grad school, I can still write a 37k novella in 3ish weeks when the spirit strikes. No one else had written the post-canon sexuality-crisis slowburn dealing with the implications of a lot of what had gone down in canon while also allowing these characters the space to be what they could be to each other, so I had to do it myself (and I'm so glad I did, because I desperately wanted to read it and now it exists for me to read. Don't judge me for the amount that I read my own fanfic; sometimes I just have to!).

Anyway, here are my two fics for the fandom: Spirit Shield/Healing Word and Safe Haven for Expansive Hearts.
