SUMMARY: Louis asks for very few things in life, and they are: to solve cases, to keep bad people from doing their bad things, to get good coffee, to go home to a spacious apartment with nobody else in it, and to manage his stupid telempathy powers with minimal interference. And now he’s stuck in a tiny cabin in a snowstorm in the middle of god-awful-nowhere with Harry Styles. Because of course he is.

A crime-solving, trapped in a snowstorm AU that isn’t strictly a Hannibal AU but IS the result of me watching too much Great British Bake Off and Hannibal at the same time, feat. a missing persons case and a lot of grumpiness. EDIT: all done!
PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME I’LL JUST MOVE THIS PILE OF NOTEBOOKS
ALL RIGHTY THIS WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED BUT HERE ARE THINGS SO FAR
HAVE SOME TEA AND COOKIES
If you like…..music, want a long read, feel like a different take on a/b/o (I like to call it a/b/o “for people who don’t read a/b/o), enjoy friendship groups, then you could try my Symphony Hall Series!
Night Out (10k) is a one-shot that kicked off this ‘verse in my head. Saving Symphony Hall(124k) is the main event LongFic I’ve done so far, it’s got some angst and lots of comfort and a lot of food and plot. There’s also a little ramble text-story in The Art of Non-Gift Giving (3k).
If you like…more of that a/b/o stuff, with a more wistful edge, you could check out my shorter JLM world.Before/After (…WIP) is chronologically earlier, but uuuuuuuh it’s still in progress and not prioritized. Just Let Me(15k) is the touch-deprivation one-shot pining-hurt-comfort indulgence fic that got me started writing fic (dammit).
The Woods Are Lovely, Dark and Deep (currently 36k) is my magical werewolf series! It’s about found families and moonlight and awfully flirtatious wolves and loneliness. It’s got two out of four works and I’m writing the next two currently. But each story can be read as a complete short story on its own.
Alien Roadtrip! (16k) is a supernatural, wistful, roadtrip-with-feelings! It’s kind of about being lost and found and escaping.
Make Your Words a Weapon(36k) is an angst-hurt-comfort soulmate story about music and words and communication and longing and bodies. It’s kind of about being your complicated self.
Incoming Package (20k) is fast-paced scifi insanity about snarky pilots and frazzled soldiers and space mutinies and being human while fighting evil capitalism and AI flirting (?!).
Then I’ve got some drabbly fluffy quick-read nonsense! Tissue-thin Lies(5k) andLike a Walk in the Park(11k) both turned into ao3 posts instead of tumblr fics!
Lambing Season (24k) is a comfort-forward farming fic featuring animal husbandry and beautiful lost boys in suits and chores!
To all fic authors who get discouraged this time of the year - this is for you.
DON’T STOP WRITING. DON’T STOP POSTING YOUR WORK EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE NOT GETTING THE TRACTION YOU WANT. DON’T STOP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR WORK IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU ARE ENOUGH. YOUR WORK IS ENOUGH.
This time of the year can be hard when all these ‘best of the year’ fic recs are being made, or ‘most popular fics’ of the year are being posted.
DON’T LET IT STOP YOU.
If anything, this is the time to try harder. Message your stories to other writers and readers, submit your stories to fic rec blogs like mine that take submissions. I love getting direct messages from other authors who want me to check out their work! It’s fun being given something that I might not have found otherwise. And maybe get involved in something different like a fic exchange! Those are great ways to meet other writers and get your work exposed to blogs you may not have had access to before.
Again, keep trying and keep posting! And even if you don’t have a lot of readers, write for the few that you do. Because some of my favorite stories have less than 100 kudos and I would be SO DISAPPOINTED if they ever took their work down. And I am so grateful, that they even put their work up in the first place!
So don’t be discouraged. If anything, this is your time to shine!
petition to remake all of the twilight movies where everything is the same except that bella is played by john mulaney who has not been given a script and just has to deal with these circumstances as they come.
not to be fake deep but when some people say they love you but don’t show you any love they mean they love themselves through you in the most selfish of ways they just want your attention with nothing in return and leech off your energy for their own egotistical purposes so if you feel like you’re being played that way get away from them!
