Fic: twenty stitches in a hotel room (Sincaraz RPS, G, hurt/comfort, angst)

OK so... *takes a deep breath* my second Sincaraz fic is posted. It's unbeta'd because my usual beta is not an RPS kinda gal. I think I've successfully wrangled any tense or POV issues but cannot say the same about the probably terrible Italian, Spanish or medical stuff LOL

twenty stitches in a hotel room - An accident during a practice game against Carlos lands Jannik in the hospital

and now I hide

My muse is getting a little inspired by those pictures yesterday Carlos in a suit. The kind of inspired where he gets a text along the lines of "I want that suit on my floor and you in my bed" and is then blushing and grinning at his phone before escaping at the earliest opportunity and racing back to his hotel room for some video chat fun 😁

The things you end up googling when writing fic *giggles* Sexting. I've had to google sexting. It's not a thing I've ever done and... kinda clueless so uhh

Because Carlos in the tuxedo is absolutely not helping the plot bunny that was very taken with him in the suit yesterday. *sigh*

And Jannik... well lets just say its the quiet ones you have to watch. Honestly, I'M blushing with some of the things he's saying/pictures he's sending Carlos, and I'm the fucking writer here. He's just sent a picture of his hands down his pants and telling Carlos he wishes it was Carlo's hand.

So yeah.

r*fole = positive personal relationship ruined by negative professional relationship

f*dal = positive professional relationship eventually becoming a little bit of personal relationship 😌 (but still mostly professional)

f*dole = negative professional relationship all the way LOL although i do think federer’s mostly over it now and i really do think it could become a positive one when novak retires!!

So, I take part in Get Your Words Out most years although I've never managed to hit my target.

This year I'm doing pretty well. According to the tracker, I've actually written 34,641 words so far this year. I'm still almost 20k words behind pace to reach my goal so I'm not expecting I'm going to win this year either.

But that's not that point.

Then I look at my project list. I started writing Sincaraz on August 30th. 21 days ago. I have written on 14 of those 21 days. I have written 3478 words of Sincaraz.

Literally TEN PERCENT of all the words I've written THIS YEAR, have been written in 2 of the last three weeks. And that's while moving half-way across the country AND starting a new job

NGL. I am here for it!

Today I have unpacked ALL THE BOOKS, there are no boxes left in the flat. I have reshelved books G-R, but unfortunately have run out of bookcase. We have also run out of wall space for more bookcases. You may see how this is... somewhat problematic. Li has her tape measure out.

I have also written over 700 words of Sincaraz sexting and they're about to switch to videosex. This is apparently as new to them as it is to me, because I wrote

He fumbles with his phone, hands shaking slightly, and tries to take a picture of his erection in his hands through his underwear. It’s a little blurry and he’s feeling a little self-conscious, a little nervous about sending it – they’ve never done this before – but he takes a deep breath and sends it Jannik sends a heart emoji almost instantly

Do you honestly think Sinner and Alcaraz (or any tennis players) are madly in love or fucking like bunnies? That's weird, their just kids!

Wow. WOW. But hey, I did say anything on anon so sure, that's your prerogative.

OK so honestly no, no I don't. I fell in love with both of their tennis playing this year (I've been watching tennis since the mid-80s), and then somewhere around Wimbledon the ADHD went 'oooh new hyperfixation' (there's another long post brewing actually about it might be a lifelong suppressed special interest) I felt like I was being super annoying to my partner and all my friends and went 'oh huh I wonder if there's a tennis fandom on Tumblr', and lo, there was a tennis fandom

There were people loving Sinner and Alcaraz and Federer and Nadal and Shelton and being excited and geeking out over the games. And there were slashers. Now, I'm a slasher. I have been writing fanfiction since I was a pre-teen, I have been writing slash fanfiction since my teens, and I have been posting said fanfiction online since my late teens. We're talking the 90s here people. (proud owner of an Anne Rice C&D dontcha know?) I've also been in as many, if not more, RPS fandoms than FPS ones. It's a hobby, I enjoy it. (There's only been maybe 2 RPS fandoms in all that time I actually believed in. Sincaraz is not one of them (although the more time I spend in fandom, the less sure I am about not believing the Fedal!) - but seriously, allow me to talk about how I do believe the Jack/Daniel and McShep or the Hardison/Parker/Eliot)

And so I was curious and I went onto AO3. I was... legit quite shocked by the amount of fic. I wasn't expecting it. I started reading. It was a lot of fun. My muse, Bob!, he is a fickle creature and he likes the pretty. He's decided Jannik and Carlos are his current pretty he wants to play with. I've written and posted more fic in the last two weeks than I have in months and THAT feels fantastic.

Although, having said that, I'm not actually physically/sexually attracted to either of them. You know why? Because they are literally over half my age. I think Jannik is cute as fuck and I'm currently at 'would kill to protect', I think Carlos has a... conventionally attractive physique and I do appreciate good strong shoulders/upper arms. I legit feel kinda dirty at times. But it's nothing more than 'aesthetically attractive', there's no... anything else. If nothing else, I'm queer so there's that! (There's a whole 'nother long post planned about being demi/ace, levels of aesthetically pleasing/pretty/attractiveness and what they mean).

TL;DR no, I don't think they're fucking, I adore them both as tennis players and people, I am loving the fandom around them, slash fanfic is fun. *gives all the love to the tennisblr, jannikblr and sincaraz peeps who've graciously welcomed me to the party over the last couple of weeks*

Good: I wrote over 350 words of fic during that match

Bad: I've got to the end of what I planned out, and I have no idea what happens next...

I mean, in a manner of speaking I do - this is a smutfic, so what happens next is so orgasmic fun. It's more that I've never written videosex before and it feels a little awkward (which I want to get some of that awkwardness into the boys too).

Mostly I need to decide if I'm going to plan or pants the rest of it

Fic: going through the photographs, staring at the phone (Sincaraz RPS, NC-17, PWP, smut & fluff, sexting, video chat sex)

My 3rd finished fic, since I started writing these two just 23 days ago. This is crazy levels of productivity for me, and I am fucking loving it!

Still unbeta'd, because my lovely beta is not an RPS person. Blame Grammarly for anything that I didn't catch ;)

going through the photographs, staring at the phone -I want that suit on my floor and you in my bed

OK, this is just a wee mental image that came to me in work this afternoon. I don't know if there's a fic to write, or if it's just an image to share.

Carlos and Jannik making out. Jannik cupping Carlos's face in his hands. Carlos' hands tucked into the back pockets of Jannik's sweatpants, having a good grope.

So there you go. Enjoy! ;)

You've mentioned writing kink in another fandom, and that you like writing D/s games. Are you going to write any BDSM/kink Sincaraz fic?

Oooh this is a much nicer question than the anon who likes to tell me how gross I am, so thank you! :D

So, yes, in SG-1 I write a lot of kink fic. It's one of my favourite things to write, and has been in most fandoms I've been in to be honest.

However, having said that, no, I don't get kinkfic vibes from them. Even the one that started based on the articles and commentators saying how dominant Jannik has been this year ended up more... Carlitos being surprised at Jannik taking initiative than anything else.

Even with kinktober being just round the corner, and them both being the kind of ages where experimenting with things happens, no... I don't think there's going to be any Sincaraz kink. Unless someone like specifically requests something, maybe.

after recent events, i find myself conflicted on one thing. so i’m going to ask you:

OK I need someone to push the clock forward 2 hours so I can leave work and go home to write. I've almost found the first line to my Sincaraz frottage fic and I know where the rest is going from there!

So... I ended up with the opening paragraph scrawled on the back of an invoice. I am now becoming one with my couch, Li is continuing to watch the WoW RTWF and I shall try and figure out what the fuck my handwriting says!

🎱❄️

Oooh I don't usually look at my stats. OK so I have 147 works posted and

which honestly makes me BEAM like you would not believe!

My dream theme/plot for a fic is a really good one... *ponders*

OK. I have a couple of answers for this. In SG-1 OT3 kinkfic, Li and I have been batting back and forth ideas of 'trying new things doesn't quite go as expected', and she has some good ideas on that which I still really want her to write for me!

In tennis RPS, I'm loving all the pining, not realising the crush is returned, first kiss, idiots falling in love type fic - and I will continue to read all of it written by pretty much any/everyone if I'm being completely honest!

rivalries are the most interesting ships in terms of sports rpf to me bc they’re narratively rich- you can look at someone’s career and map out how they’ve interacted with and been impacted by another person in a very public and yet intimate way… through the sport… which is after all why we’re here right?

I was planning on a lie-in this morning. None of the tennis I want to watch is on for another couple of hours. So I was like 'yay, sleeping in on a Sunday'

But nooo.... after writing all those words last night, and the fic not going anywhere like my notes said it was supposed to, I'm awake even earlier on a Sunday to keep on writing.

This is very different to what I've written before, it's somehow much less explicit, but way more intimate and emotional. I like it, but I can't see it becoming my normal style. Who knows - I've been experimenting quite a bit with Sincaraz fic, all different styles to my usual writing, I think not having my old audience makes it easier to try new things.

*takes a deep breath*

And the fic is finished and posted - it's here on AO3.

'cause you kiss me and it stops time

"What are you thinking?"

“About kissing you,” Jannik whispered, the words barely more than a breath, like he was afraid saying them aloud might break the moment. His heart stuttered, the nerves sharp and tangled with longing, as though he was daring to ask for something he wasn’t sure he still had the right to.

And now I run and hide!

*grins* so... apparently I'm a nerd.

I've just started writing the 'you're allowed to be angry' fic, I've written the first paragraph. And I sat here and said outloud, in according to Li a very excited voice, 'oooh I could put some pathetic fallacy in this scene'.

But then I upped the nerd quotient by then, again outloud saying 'wait, what was the weather in Beijing on Saturday evening'.. and then looking it up.

She was laughing, happily because she liked it because I'm cute and awesome and lovely, not at all in a mean way, and I got a big smooch out of it so there's that. She does love my nerdiness :D
