One year ago I started sharing my fan fiction online. I was terrified, but I did it, and now I’m so supremely glad. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the response I received. I’ve made friends, where before I only had one. I receive beautiful praise from lovely folks all around the world. And miracle of miracles, I’ve found the love of my life in @martymcdie88mph
Now, 252 stories later, I’ve reached a major goal. Last week I crossed 1.5 million words. And I have to say, I’m pretty damn proud of myself. Before returning to fan fiction last year I did nothing. I sat around and watched Conan and Bill content to slog through my days because I was so fucking miserable all the time.
But writing has transformed my life. I now have people. Real, actual people who care about me and ask how I’m doing every day. And I feel like, for the first time, I might even have a purpose. It may seem silly to some, writing explicit stories about tall, blue-eyed, assless comedy men to pass the time. But I have used fic writing to process my own trauma, to work through various heartaches. And I’m amazed at the responses from my readers. I feel privileged that people trust me with their own private struggles and ask me to write difficult things for them as well. I don’t know how to express my gratitude to everyone who has read my work, left kudos, commented, or made a request. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now, as Bill says…
Here are 25 (or more) fuckin’ hard ass, well run blogs I would like to thank for supporting me along the way this past year. I’m sure I’m leaving some folks out, and for that I apologize. Know that I love all of you more than I can say
no, you don’t understand. harry asked for that picture with the dog. he specifically requested it. he was probably thinking “heck, that’s a beautiful dog. i need to document this moment”.
It’s been a while, huh? To be honest, I nearly gave up writing entirely in the last couple of months. It’s been hard, I really fell out of love with my writing and struggled really hard to get this done. It was meant to be for a collab back in September but I abandoned it. Probably because I knew it was going to be another monster fic, but I finally managed to get past it and I’m finally happy with my writing again.
With that said, here is my next labour of love! I absolutely adore Mirio and I love this piece, so I hope you like it too!
Thank you as always to my wonderful beta readers Shan and Spacey! Without further ado, please enjoy!

Everyone in school had laughed when it showed up, the child-like sun showing up on your wrist looking absolutely ridiculous. Most soul marks were a little more refined, looking like fancy tattoos more than anything.
Yours looked like an 8 year old’s interpretation of a sun, minus the cartoon sunglasses and poorly drawn smile.
It was so basic. One of your friends had an intricate rose across her ribcage, another had a detailed mountain range on his back-
