Masterpost : Written on the Heart

— A Discord writing group/college AU —

Rating: Explicit

Summary: 

Rey Kenobi spends her days trying to focus on her classes, working at the on-campus cafe to pay off her crippling student debt, and hopefully beating irritating and entitled Ben Solo in a contest for a scholarship and writing job she’s always dreamed of.

But in her free time, she’s KiraofJakku, an online writer and member of a Discord writing group, struggling to balance her college career and passion for fiction. When she finally works up the nerve to message her favorite author and fellow Discord member, KyloRen, an unlikely friendship blooms.

Ben Solo just wants to write. Not important articles or essays to change the world and win him awards like his professor and uncle, Luke, but simple stories for people to enjoy, sci-fi and fantasy epics that get nominated for book club reads. Yet, since he was born, his path has been laid out for him, to follow in the footsteps of his uncle and mother.

But when a kind and honest reader, KiraofJakku, randomly messages him, she opens up a passion and desire he never expected. For his writing, for making his own path in his life… for her.

ROCK BOTTOM: a bellarke and murven modern au by detectivebellamyblake

summary: When Bellamy and Echo get engaged, Clarke ends up sobbing in her room, mourning something that she never really had. The last person she expects to comfort her is Murphy, but it turns out the two have a lot more in common than she thought. While she’s been pining for Bellamy, he’s been realizing his feelings for Raven, who happens to be dating Shaw. In a moment of impulsivity, the two sleep together, and then say ‘fuck it’. If they’re going to be hurting, they might as well be getting laid at the same time. They figure it’ll be easy, simple, and that no one will get hurt. Of course, they’re idiots.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN HAS NOW BEEN POSTED

I am so excited to announce that I have returned from my unplanned hiatus for this fic!! I am going to try to keep updates more regular from here on out. A million thank yous to the brilliant graphic which was made for me by the wonderful @shaeheda

At the Stroke of Midnight by bunilicious

- A Reylo Victorian / Cinderella AU - 

Written for @midnightbluefox for the Anniversary Fic Exchange organized by @thereylowritingden

Summary: Rey is a disgraced scullery maid longing for the duke next door, watching from afar as he picks flowers from his garden. It only takes one masquerade ball for their paths to cross and, when they do, Rey discovers that there is more to Ben Solo than meets the eye. If only he weren’t so intent on recruiting her to find the masked woman who has captured his heart. If only he knew that masked woman was her.

~*~

Excerpt (Chapter 1)

News of the upcoming masquerade ball spread across London like wildfire.

It was not every day that an eligible bachelor announced his intention to find a bride for all to hear.

As she observed the preparations from her small window, Rey could not help the pang of jealousy that settled over her heart.  Every morning she caught a glimpse of the preparations, of the countless footmen and maids scurrying from one place to the other, arms laden with trunks and fabrics.

Every morning she heard the enthusiasm of the dowager duchess echo across the garden, the elation of a mother who was pleased her son would soon find a suitable bride.

And every morning she would be reminded of just how hopeless her dreams of love and belonging truly were.

That bride, Rey knew all too well, would never be her.

~*~

A new historical romance written by yours truly! I participated in the anniversary fic exchange organized by @thereylowritingden and wrote a Victorian / Cinderella AU for my friend @midnightbluefox. I hope you enjoy the fic and this first chapter. Thank you to my beta, @loveofescapism!

not beyond repair (4/?)

Dear Diary,

I am the worst person on this planet.

Left alone in the middle of the cafeteria, Veronica looks up at the Heathers, strolling off with their chins in the air like royalty. That’s what they are, of course. People even move aside for them in the halls. The kind of royalty that beheads anyone who disagrees with them. She looks over her shoulder at Martha, who is sitting at her table, the forged note in her hand. In all the time Veronica’s known her, she’s not sure she’s ever seen Martha smile like that. Sort of breathless excitement, like she’s just stepped into fairyland. She’s practically glowing for God’s sake. Like she’s floating on air.

UPDATE! The Machine: Chapter Twenty

OMG IT’S FINALLY HERE!  And I promise I won’t take this long again.  I’m trying to get this fic done before Ep IX comes out… I’m on a time table, LOL!

The Machine UPDATE: Chapter Twenty

Summary:

“Force users, they’re so arrogant.  They think this war is all about them.”

Rey and Kylo Ren - two halves of the same protagonist.  But if they’re both right, then who is wrong?  

What if the face of true evil wears an entirely different kind of mask?  What if it’s something with impossibly deep roots - a corruption so insidious, it could hide itself in plain sight?  What if it’s the very same military industrial complex needed to fight this war in the first place?

What if it’s simply… greed?

War is a Machine, internally combusting and turning itself over.  Is balancing the Force enough to stop it?

Is saving what we love even enough?

Doesn’t mean they’re not going to try…

Click HERE to read the newest update, Chapter Twenty: Honor and Duty!

All of them had a price on his head. All of them found value in watching his blood soak the dirt. It was a knife to her gut to know that even she had a price she was willing to pay. And that price was protecting innocence. Honor. And duty.

Would you like for me to tag you in future updates? I’m beyond thrilled to do so - just give me a holler and I’ll slap you on the list in a very sexy-yet-consensual sort of way! =D

A friend that I was more-than-friends with got into a relationship out of the blue and now I’m trying to get over someone I never dated... send hELP (and maybe some fic recommendations for some cathartic tears?)

Aw darling, so sorry to hear that. It sucks to have feelings for someone and watch them with someone else. I don’t know what advice to offer you on it without knowing more of the story, but I definitely can include a fic rec list. I made one previous to this which included a LOT of my favourites, which you can find here. So, in an effort to avoid repeating myself with those favourites, here’s a brand new one for you. I hope they distract from the heartbreak.

1. Simple Pleasures by @pawprinterfanfic

Right - first of all, this girl is a dear friend of mine and I basically love everything she writes. Her talent is out of this world, but this fic in particular just blows my mind. It’s a Hunger Games au with some angst, fluff and breath holding moments. It’s a multi-chapter, going to be about 48 chapters - so if you’re looking for a good, old long and brilliant read, this is for you.

2. Give Me Your Fate / Where The Light Won’t Find You by @asroarke

Okay, so I’m cheating here. Including two fics for the price of one ;) but I love this author, she’s incredibly gifted at writing. The first fic mentioned is a political au where Bellamy gets hooked into an arranged marriage with Clarke. It’s AMAZING and to be honest, politics is something I don’t have much interest in. Yet, this girl seems to have a knack for sucking me into fics I would never normally be drawn to. The second fic mentioned is a high-school au that unfortunately is written from experience on her part. It’s truly brilliant though and I can’t wait to read more.

3. Looking For A Lifeline by @illgivethatoyou

I LOVED this and I read it far too quickly. She writes it so beautifully and it has everything I look for in a fic. Lots of angst between Bellamy and Clarke, lots of pining and lots of these two dancing around their feelings. Ugh. It’s one I re-read and to be honest, I don’t do that with a lot of fics.

4. When There’s Nothing Left To Burn, You Have To Set Yourself On Fire by @octannibal-blake

I’m not sure if this fic is being continued or not? But all the same, I ADORE it. An angsty, Bellarke boxing fic which makes me want to cry when I read it because she writes SO GOOD. Like major envy vibes here. You can probably see a pattern here with the fics that I like, haha. Check this out though because I’d read every single chapter if she continued it indefinitely.

5. Talking With You In The Dark by @bettsfic

Bed sharing. Need I say more? So nice and fluffy and like everything this girl writes, brilliantly written. I’m including a lot of my favourite authors on this list because I feel like if you like one of their fics, you’ll like the rest. I really enjoyed this one and would 10/10 recommend it.

6. I Don’t Need Your Love (I Just Need You Now) by @talistheintrovert

I don’t even know how to describe this fic. Like. JESUS! Starts out with Bellarke not getting on and obviously ends up with them in love. Protective Bellamy, angst, fluff - UGH I loved this fic to no end. You’ll understand when you read it (and also, Talis is fucking amazing as well).

7. Devil Side / Waste It On Me by @eyessharpweaponshot

Feel like now is as good a time as any to plug my own fics. Shameless. Devil Side is a Bird Box au with tonnes of angst, self sacrificial Bellarke and lots and lots of love and tension (the best combo, in my opinion). Waste It On Me is a soulmate/reincarnation au where Clarke has sworn off love until she realises fate has a different path for her, one with Bellamy Blake at the end. Both fics are my two baby’s and I love that everyone is enjoying them as much as they are. Thank you all

8. The Color of Grief by @chase-the-windandtouch-the-sky

This girl has incredible fics everywhere but this one in particular stands out the most to me. Again with some angst, but lots of fluff and an amazing storyline to boot. I enjoyed this fic so much and everyone needs to read it.

9. Don’t Wake Me, I’m Not Dreaming by @grumpybell

This is one of the most original fics I’ve ever read. Clarke has the ability to visit other people’s dreams and she visits Bellamy very often. Oh my goodness, I think I’ve read this three times already. Again, the author always writes fics that I love to read so I’m not one bit surprised that this amazing fic came from her. A must read.

10. Stardust, In You And In Me by @she-who-the-river-could-not-hold

I am very fond of this girl and VERY fond of this fic. Soulmate au’s are everywhere and I love them, but this one definitely stands out to me. She wrote it in such a way that it had me gripped and waiting for updates desperately. I loved it so much and if soulmate au’s are your thing, this one is not to be missed.

11. The Way We Used To Be by @hawthornewhisperer

Is it any surprise this girl is on my fic rec list? I adore everything she writes and this one in particular is amazing. An exes fic full of smut and angst and ugh, everything I crave from fics. I actually want to write my own exes fic and this just inspired me even more. I will re-read this fic until the day I die.

I’m afraid that’s all I have the time to recommend, but other authors that are phenomenal writers are: @thelittlefanpire @arysafics @raven-reyes-of-sunshine @carrieeve @the-most-beautiful-broom @candybellarke

There’s fic’s that I’ve read from those authors that are utterly brilliant too and some of them I’ve mentioned in my previous fic rec list. But yeah, I hope this helps you, anon. Much love from me
