new pinned post!

lauren, 28, she/her, white. horse owner, anti-imperialist marxist, funny little guy. i'm a roleplayer and also getting back into the swing of writing fics, namely for masters of the air and star wars.

current multichapter fics:

head over, heels down: 8k+ words, ch 2/?, slowburn bradycroz (focal ship), curtbuck, demacon, alexhelen. modern college equestrian team au. After his work-study position at the campus library is eliminated, college freshman Harry Crosby, who has never been around horses in his life, returns from winter break and starts a new position as a stablehand at the on-campus equestrian facility, where he meets a very interesting cast of characters and promptly develops an all-consuming crush on equestrian team star John D. Brady. Little does he know, it's mutual--although John has some serious internal hangups to work through before he can even acknowledge that fact himself. A story about the horse world, but also about how different people from different backgrounds navigate sexual identity, coming out both to themselves and others, and the simple state of learning to *be* as someone who is not straight in college. Told through a Bradycroz lens, but this is also a CurtBuck/Demacon/AlexHelen fic and the other boys (and Helen) have their own plotlines and feature in POV chapters after the exposition.

fearfully and wonderfully made: in-era bradycroz, 33k+ words, ch 3/?. mpreg/psychological horror/whump with an eventual happy ending. In the course of a single day, John Brady receives the career-ending news that he is both intersex and four months pregnant in the middle of a war. His refusal to terminate on religious grounds begins five months of a difficult, life-threatening pregnancy and a drift away from other people as he experiences a newly alien body, all while the English medical system strips him of the autonomy he was afforded when he was perceived as wholly male in degrees. As he increasingly leans on his Catholicism to cope with the horrors of his situation, profound isolation in an unfamiliar city, separation from the man he is in love with, and estrangement from his own body, John becomes more and more fixated on the story of the Virgin Mary and the idea of divinely ordained pregnancy until their identities begin to bleed together at the edges.

the act of killing: star wars, 8k+ words, ch 3/?. krennic/galen, non-mpreg kidfic. Orson and Galen's only son is taken as a prisoner of war by the Rebel Alliance. When he returns home following a high-profile prisoner exchange with the Alliance and receives a psychiatric discharge from the Imperial Navy over post-traumatic stress disorder developed in a single incident Krennic cannot conceptualize, they must weather a very public disgrace within high command while learning to care for an abruptly disabled adult child.An exploration of how they'd cope with a series of devastating news events as a couple, what kind of parents they'd be, and what psychiatry, mental health care, and the experience of disabled veterans might look like in the Galactic Empire.
