An Open Note To Readers Of Fanfic

An open note to readers of fanfic

Sometimes I stare at the computer screen when the words don’t want to come and I think, “Fuck, who am I kidding? This is terrible writing, and this story is shit, and no one cares, anyway.“  And I close the window and go do something else.

But every now and then I get an amazing, heartfelt, beautiful comment from someone who loved something I wrote, and it reminds me that, at least for that one person, I did write something worthwhile. And so I open the window again and I write one sentence, and then another, and then I start to find my way again.

So on behalf of all fanfic writers everywhere, I want to say thank you, thank you so much, to all of the readers who take the time to leave a comment and tell us that something we wrote mattered to you, that it brightened your day or made you laugh or cry or get horny or whatever.

Please don’t think we’re ever bothered by your comment, or that we don’t want to hear it, or that what you have to say isn’t important enough. It means so, so much. And on some days, it’s what keeps us going.

SCM- Department of Punishment

Scorpio ♏- Blessed Union

Synopsis: You have known each other for quite some time. Are you ready to take the next step in your relationship?

A/N: Thank you for your request anon; I accidentally deleted it , I apologize. I will be honest with you; i don't know much about weddings in general so this might be a bit all over the place. But i hope you enjoy reading this. 😊

" (Name), did you hear Elina is getting married? " your sister, Julie asked. Elina your cousin sister who was engaged to her boyfriend of three years; she was finally getting married. She has phoned you and ask you and Julie to help her choose a wedding dress.

The following morning you , Julie , aunt Mary ( Elina 's mother) and Elina went to choose her dress. The first dress Elina tried on was, a off white dress with a high neck and 3/4 length sleeves. " I like this neck line ." aunt Mary commented.

The second dress had a high collar in the back and v neck. It was ivory in colour. Elina liked it and decided she wanted to see more options before choosing one. She tried a few more dresses before picking one.

There she was in her wedding dress, smiling at all of you. You have never seen her this happy. Aunt Mary could hardly conceal her tears. " You look beautiful, my dear." she said with a smile.

After paying for the dress, all of you went to a nearby restaurant to eat lunch. " Elina looked so good in that dress, that aunt Mary couldn't stop herself from crying. If mom would have been here with us today, she would have teased her a lot." Julie whispered to you smiling. You smiled back at her.

You mind wondered to your Scorpio. "Are we ready for marriage? Should i talk to him about it? Is this the right time? " were some of the questions in your mind. You two have known each other for a long time . Faced difficulties and challenges together.

Had your own conflicts and differences as well. He cared about you and you cared about him; loved him. He was your bestfriend. You decided you were going to ask him.

You and Julie were home by 4 pm. Elina and aunt Mary thanked you both for helping them pick out a dress. " I am going to see Scorpio. I will be back by 6 pm." you said.

You knocked on the door. " The door is unlocked. Come inside. " Scorpio said. You went inside and saw him sitting on the chair; looking through some papers. " Keep the papers on my bed Altair. Close the door before leaving." he said in an exhausted voice.

" Its me, Scorpio." you said. He turned around to look at you. " I thought you were Altair." You sat down on the bed.

He placed the papers on the table and sat beside you." How are you ( name) ?" he said with a smile. " I am alright. How was your day?" you asked in a concerned voice. His hair was disheveled, he look tired. But he still smiled for you.

You decide to go to the balcony for some fresh air. " You wanted to talk about something important (name) ?" he asked in a gentle voice. " Its not that important. I wanted to see; we haven't seen each other in a while." you replied. You weren't lying, you came to the mansion to see him; to spend some time with him.

" I was busy, ( name). Zyglavis is on a leave, so i had to look over everything. " he said in an apologetic tone. " Can we spend some time together?" you asked. " Of course" he said with a slight smile. " Scorpio are you alright? You look exhausted. " you said in a concerned voice.

He couldn't disagree with you, his uniform was wrinkled and he looked very tired. He had been working continuously for the past two weeks; to the point where he considered taking a nap. Something he hasn't done in a long time.

You caressed his face and gently placed a kiss on his forehead.

You decide to spend the night with him. He completely his work and joined you in bed. " (Name), now tell me what you wanted to talk about? Don't deny it. I know you want to tell me something important. "

" What do you think about marriage?". He was a bit surprised to say the least. He has wanted to ask you the same question so many times. But he stopped himself, thinking you wouldn't want that.

" What's on your mind ( name)? " he said in a timid voice. " My cousin picked her wedding dress today; I, Julie and aunt Mary accompanied her. She looked gorgeous in her chosen dress. We have known each other for a long time, Scorpio." you said while looking at your hands on your lap.

" Will you marry me ,Scorpio? " you said bashfully. The corner of his lips slightly turned up. He had never expected to here something like that from you.

When you looked up. He had the brightest smile on his face. " Yes (name). I would love to get married to you." he said.

The next morning Scorpio went to meet your parents and your sister. " So , Mr. Scorpio you want to marry my daughter?" your father asked. " Yes sir." he replied promptly.

Your parents liked him and needless to say they gave you both their blessings. Few days later you , Julie and your mother went to buy your wedding dress.

You were looking through the options, when you remembered what Scorpio told you once. How he mentioned, the one and only time; he saw a portrait of his mother as a child. How happy he looking while talking about her; even though he had little to no memories of her.

He mentioned her simple yet elegant wedding dress, her dazzling smile. Alas her happiness did not last long. Death took her away, from her little boy.

You wanted to find a dress similar to her's. You have never met her, you will never know her. But you wanted to pay your respects to her; thank her for bringing Scorpio into this world.

With this in mind, you chose your dress. Luckily you found a dress similar to her's.

You and Scorpio decide to get married in a small church in your hometown far from the city.

Scorpio almost cried when he saw you walking down the aisle. You looked breathtaking.

He appreciated that you choose to wear a dress similar to his mother's.

"This is the best day of my life." he whispered to you. You smiled; it was indeed a day that the two of you shall remember for the rest of your lives.

A/N: I hope you like this anon. I apologize if i made any mistakes. Thank you for reading. 😊

Star Crossed Myth - Department of Punishment

ZYGLAVIS (💛) - Reassuring you.

You were walking home as fast as you can to start working on the assignments your teacher gave you.

The sun was setting, you reached home changed your clothes and started washing the dishes left in the sink. Folded the clothes and ironed your clean uniform for tomorrow. 6.30 pm you got a phone call from your mom telling you she will be late for dinner. You sighed, she always works so hard. You started your assignment knowing it will take you another evening to complete it. Your mom came home and you two ate in silence. She has dark circles under her eyes, a clear sign of her sleeplessness. " Mom. How was the meeting ? You don't have any extra work this weekend, right? " she smiled and said " no". She looked relieved.

1 am, you heard someone typing something in the living room, it's mom. She lied to you, because you wanted to go to the movie theater with her on Sunday and she couldn't refuse you. She knew your love for movies and she wanted to spend some time with you. Your mom went to work and you went to school as usual.

Around 2pm you were called to the principal's office. She told you " Your mother has collapsed at work. Your mother's co worker will pick you up within 15 minutes."

Your mom was awake. The doctor told you she is alright but she has been diagnosed with diabetes. But he warned both of you that this should never happen again.

Your mom had to stay in the hospital for two days. That night Zyglavis visited you and your mom in the hospital. You were a happy to see him since you last saw him two weeks ago. " How are you?" he said. " Fine". " How is work? " you asked. He smiled and said department of punishment were busy . He seemed tired almost like a human. He wanted to stay but the hospital staff refused to let him stay.

You wanted to talk to him. After telling your mom you went to the mansion. It was empty. " He told me he would be here today" you recalled. You went to his room and saw a letter on the floor.

It read " My sweetheart, Jessica. I have talked to your parents about our wedding. They are delighted and want the ceremony to take place as soon as possible. I wanted to tell you this in person but i have some business to attend first. Please take care of yourself my love".

You couldn't believe what you just read. How could he do this to you? Did you not mean anything to him? Were you just a toy for him to play with? You wanted to cry but no tears were falling from your eyes.

Zyglavis came back to his room 15 minutes later. You have already left the mansion. He was waiting for you. There was a knock on the door. He answered it immediately. Instead of you it was his cousin sister Jessica. Jessica rushed inside his room, she was looking for something. " Did you see the letter? I think i dropped it somewhere. " she said. " What letter? " he asked . " The letter that was in my hand along with the documents you asked me to bring. It was from my fiance". " What was written in that letter? " he asked cautiously. " Did you forget about my wedding, brother? My fiance went to my parents to get their blessings."

9 pm, you were sitting beside your mom's bed on the chair with the letter in your hand, wondering what went wrong between you two. You loved him but he was there making plans to marry some goddess while lying to you about being busy with work. There was a knock on the window. You opened it saw Zyglavis and a beautiful woman. You knew he is here to finally announce his marriage. " What do you want, Mr. Zyglavis? Are you here to announce your marriage? you said in a cold and emotionless tone. Before he could say something the woman, Jessica apologized and explained you everything. " I am sorry, it was all my fault. My brother will never never do something to hurt you. " saying that she left. " I am sorry " you said ashamed. He gently raised your chin " Its not your fault, anybody reading that letter would have thought so." " I will never leave you my love. You are my one and only. He gently kissed you on the forehead. Your mom got discharged from the hospital the next day and she took a two weeks leave from her office. The next day all the three of you went to watch the movie in the theater.

Anon please don't give up on life, there's always a reason to live.

Can i request a Tauxolouve x female reader fic? Reader is stressed about life stuff, she has social anxiety and she frequently says how she would have been better off dead. She doesn't have any friends. These tendencies have increased after her aunt's recent death. Her aunt was like a friend to her. She is worried about everything in her life. I was wondering if you could write a story where Tauxolouve has a long heart to heart conversation with her and makes her feel better.

You don't have to write this if you don't want to. Please don't pressure yourself. Life has been stressful for me. I admire your work and I look up to you. Tauxolouve is my comfort character and i love your interpretation of him. I don't know what else to say.

"Path"

Genre: comfort

Warnings: mentions of death, mentions of funeral, suicidal thoughts

A/N: I really hope you like this story and I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.🌷🌷✨✨💖💖💖💖 Remember that there's always someone out there for someone and no one is fated to be lonely for the rest of their lives.💖✨🌷✨💖💖💙✨💙✨💕🪷💙✨💙🌷✨ The entire SCM fandom loves you, Tauxolouve loves you and even the people you haven't met just yet, they love you! And we want you here on our journey, like a big family💖💖💖💖

You closed the door of your house and leaned against it, your eyes casted upon the floor. Your usually bright irises, now seemed empty as they avoided the light slipping inside through the window.

Your gaze slowly rose and you faced the curtains of the window, as the gentle breeze blew passed them, making them sway and along with the light of day, creating shadows on various places.

Staring at the shadows across the furniture, your heart clenched as you felt them dragging you beneath them.

You slipped off your black coat, yet it didn't alter your predicament. You were still dressed in nothing but black.

The memories of white flowers and sobbing, gave way to your tears. You had gotten home straight after your aunt's funeral, given how the number of people gathered there made you feel suffocated.

Your back slid down the door and you fell to your knees, your hands fisting the fabric of your black pants as you cried out all of the feelings that cut you deeply. Devastation, grief, fear, stress. And they all came together into one.

Despair.

The view of the world beyond the window was too painful to witness. You saw people walking around and you envied them. They had a place in this world, a purpose and... Someone... Someone to call, meet, laugh with them or even cry with them.

You longed for what they had, your aunt having taken a piece of your heart with her to the afterlife. You felt so lost, you doubted you'd find your way through life again. And honestly... You were exhausted to even try.

Your body grew weak and you doubled over in loud mourning, your face buried in your forearms, which were folded onto the floor.

"I don't want to live anymore..." You choked out the words through untamable sobs and tears and you closed your eyes, wanting to avoid the sight of this darkened world.

You heard a snap and the hardness beneath your body turned impossibly soft. Your fingers twisted around the new sensation and identified the presence of bedsheets. Lifting your tear stained face from what appeared to be a bed, Tauxolouve was kneeling on the floor, his forearms folded onto the mattress.

Your eyes met and he smiled at you gently, his slanted eyes kind and loving, deep enough to take everything you wanted out of your chest and hide it safely there.

You couldn't even speak from the heartbreak, your fingers curling around the white bedsheets of his bed.

He reached out and caressed your head softly, wordlessly letting you know he's here for you whenever you felt ready to talk.

"Tauxolouve..." You called out his name, but stopped there, breaking into another fit of crying.

He pressed his lips against your temple. "My condolences." He whispered.

You balanced yourself on your hands, sitting up on the bed and looking at him with the most broken and desperate expression on your face, that made his own heart shatter into million tiny pieces. "I don't know what to do now...!" Your hands trembled as you relived in your head every parting moment with your aunt. "She was my support. A person that I considered a friend and now she's gone!" You screamed, grief eating out at your soul. "I'd be better off dead! This is too torturous!"

That was when Tauxolouve's eyes opened widely and he threw his arms around you, holding your pained and fragile form tightly within his arms. So tightly, as if trying to piece you back together with his hug. "Please, don't think about throwing away your life even for a second!" Tauxolouve rubbed your back up and down, as you tried to tame your breathing against his caramel scented chest. "The world would be such a dark place without you here." He pressed his lips onto the top of your head, breathing into your scent, which he found lovely.

"I don't think something is going to be different without me here..." You said, your voice twisting painfully and you were on the brink of bursting into crying again. "There's no place for me here."

"Life has a place for everybody." Tauxolouve squeezed you in his arms even more, his breathing heavy at the fear that you could've... Done something so cruel to your own self. "Maybe you can't identify where yours is yet, but you'll find it."

"How...?" You peeked up from his chest and stared at him, your eyes widening slightly at seeing his dark irises rippling underneath their watery veil.

Tauxolouve held your head within his two big hands and savoured the gratitude he felt that you were here with him right now. "You have so much to live for. Life has lows, for sure, but we need to keep fighting, because there's always a high."

"What if there's no other high? No improvement?"

"There's a high for every low and every person has a purpose in this life." He began running his fingers through your hair as he spoke softly, his kind voice soothing your tensed mascles every so slightly. "Maybe right now you're scared and you feel lonely, but I want you to take my word for this... There's always a golden path waiting for you... New experiences... New people... New difficulties, but always with reachable solutions. You just have to keep fighting." He kissed your forehead and didn't pull away as he spoke against your skin, as if trying to speak directly to your mind. "You are one of Earth's many little stars. There are many, but even if one of them goes out, the light of the night sky will fade and we'll no longer be able to see the beauty around us." He blinked and a single teardrop fell from his eye, landing upon your cheek, before streaming downwards. "You are what helps us see beauty. And one day... You will find someone and their starlight will brighten up your world, just like your starlight will brighten up their world. Life is scary now, but it won't be that way forever. It's only until you take the first two steps, then there are answers for everything. Life has changes and they're not always bad ones. Some of them are exactly what one may need."

Tears filled up your vision, blurring the image of Tauxolouve and you dropped your forehead back onto the warmth of his chest.

"And as for your aunt... She loved you so much, I'm sure of it. It would destroy her knowing you gave up your life." Tauxolouve peppered sweet kisses on top of your head and then rested his cheek agaist it, holding you close to his soothing and welcoming warmth. "Life is beautiful. There's pain too, I won't lie to you, but the meaningful moments... They're so many more and they worth so much more. I know you're scared and stressed right now, I'm not disregarding that... But whatever happens, promise me you'll keep on living and giving it your best. There's a path... Waiting for you, somewhere... Explore a little and you'll find it—without pushing yourself to unhealthy levels, of course."

"Tauxolouve..?"

"Yes, my little lady?"

"Would you mind if..." You asked timidly. "You stayed with me today? If you didn't let me go?"

He smiled at you and gave the tip of your nose a peck. "I will never leave your side. I love you so much, I only want the best for you."

That day, Tauxolouve didn't allow you to leave. He cuddled you close and was there to catch your tears, listen to your suffering and offer you his comfort whenever you needed it.

Hi!^^ I was wondering if you could write a fic where Scorpio walks in on the MC playing the violin💙❤️ (only if you want to, of course!)

SCM - Department of Punishment

Scorpio ♏- Sounds of Passion

A/N: Thank you for requesting anon. I had a lot of fun writing this. I hope enjoy reading this.

You came back from school , completed your homework and finally had some time to relax. Or you thought you did.

There was a knock on the door, connecting your room to the mansion. That was your sign to go to the mansion.

You opened the door and saw Dui standing there, waiting for you. He accompanied you to Zyglavis 's room.

" Zyglavis can i leave before 8 pm? I have school tomorrow. " you asked. " Yes you can leave after helping Scorpio with his work." he said.

" Dui, take her to Scorpio. After he is done administering the punishments, take her back to her apartment. " Zyglavis said.

Dui accompanied you to the reflecting pool where Scorpio was waiting. Scorpio and Dui started administering the punishments. You were exhausted by the time they finished administering all the punishments.

" As quickly as possible, I must adjust to this." you thought. This was your second day working with the zodiac gods.

Dui accompanied you to the door; he smiled and said, " Thank you for your help, ( name ). You smiled back at him, and entered in your apartment.

You walked over to your study table, put your books in order for class, and put them in your bag.

The next day at school.

" These assignments are important, so be sure to complete them on time. " physics teacher said.

The bell rang and the biology teacher came in. " Students, i have noticed some of you are not paying attention in my class. If this continues, i will call your guardians." she said in a stern voice.

" Do you understand? " she asked. " Yes ma'am. " all the students in unison. By the time classes were over, you had two physics assignments, two biology assignments, three chapters of maths homework and an essay. All of these had to be completed in 4 days.

You saw birds returning to their nests as you walked back to your house. The gentle breeze was reassuring those returning home as the sun slowly set over the river. For a brief moment, it seemed as though nothing could go wrong in the world.

You followed you usual routine, cooked dinner, started writing those assignments. You decided to take a break around seven o'clock.

You started checking the messages on your phone, when you noticed the violin case kept beside the table.

Your grandmother gifted you, this violin on your 5th birthday. You went to the violin case, picked it up gently, and then you set it on the table.

You opened your manuscript notebook and started playing some notes. " I haven't, practiced in a long time." you sighed.

There was a time, when you used to stay up late at night and practice, to the point where your fingers were sore. You violin teacher was proud of you. You smiled ruefully to yourself, thinking about your childhood.

You have stopped playing the violin from the past 6 months, because your father wanted you to focus on your studies.

You still had one hour to play , so you decided to make the most of it.

Lost in your own world, you played on; a world in which you were just a young girl with your violin, no school, no job, and no worries. In your own little world, you were content.

You thought, "When was the last time I felt so content with my life?"

You closed your eyes and continued to play, until you heard a soft sound. You turned around and saw Scorpio leaning against the door frame. His eyes were closed, he had a calm expression on his face.

Your eyes met, when he opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with admiration. " It was beautiful." he said with a soft smile. " Can you play once more? "

You nodded your head and smiled. Scorpio sat on the chair next to you, while you carried on playing the violin. Little did you know that this was only the beginning of your friendship with each other.

A/N: Thank you for reading. The ask box is always open, so feel free to drop some ideas there. Because my brain doesn't work when it comes to fic ideas (lol) . I hope you have a wonderful day or night. 🙂
