Okay, I am taking a break from MoC.
:ducks thrown vegetables:
To explain: ask my betas and they will tell you how just... angry I've been at the fic for the last few weeks. I expected to get 75% of the new arc done while in Florida, but to be honest I am not enjoying my "vacation" (hah yeah right), I've been sick 5 or 6 days a week since I got here (Cyprinella thinks that may be stress, I think something in Florida is not agreeing with me), and I frankly don't think MoC has been of a very high quality lately. The whole thing has been reading very flat to me and there is a good chance that once Book Two is done, I will take a full month just fixing up problematic bits before unleashing the final draft onto the AO3 archive.
But basically right now I need a breather, especially since we've reached the part I've been wanting to write since I outlined the book months ago. I don't want to fuck it up.
Instead, I'm working on the bakery AU I set aside when I picked up MoC again. There is a sad lack of honestly happy AU fic in this fandom as compared to most others. Off the top of my head, the only one that comes to mind is the academia AU and the Iliad AU... We need some fluffy fun AUs. I will hopefully supply one of these. I'm trying to figure out if I should wait until I finish the whole thing or post it in parts, a la MoC...
I'm going to be so glad to get out of this state and back to Missouri. I always say I don't like living there and that's still true, but Florida is still worse on every level.
.... oh and randomly, alexwhitewell made fucking fanart of my weird twitter conversations with Harry and John. IDK either but it is adorable and Harry is hilariously shouty in it.
ETA: oh god I am crying so hard right now. Today was a rough day in the Twitterverse because someone accused Harry of being a racist and said some shady shit about him and it was a rough day, basically.
But then.
@HarriedWizard (out of the blue): Hey, Lucy?
Lucy: Hm? Yes, sweetheart?
Harry: Every pain in the ass moment I get to deal with here is worth it because I got to know you. I figured I should say that.
Lucy: Okay. You're going to have to give me a minute 'cause you've made me cry, you complete and utter tosser.
fuck, crying gives me a headache, Twitter!Harry, you are an asshole

I'm hoping when I get back home, MoC will come easier. It's the love of my life, but yeah, happy AU time. (Possibly I am jealous of the X-Men First Class fandom and all it's lovely happy fic.)
no subject
Logically, when you say "happy X-Men First Class fic" I know you mean the adorable AUs that are popping up all over the place, but no matter how many of them there are I will never be able to escape the black hole of despair that is the Beach Divorce scene. Even though mostly what I read is the happy-ending-guaranteed AUs.

If you stopped the movie right after Shaw dies, it's a very happy movie? 8D? But yeah, I loooooove all the AUs. This fandom man.
no subject
Ahahaha, like stopping before the end of Moulin Rouge. Although Charles still got to experience him dying. But the AUs are AMAZING. Did you read the Manny!AU? I adore all the ones where Erik is raising Wanda and Pietro.
no subject
just ALL THE FIC. but especially gyzym's college AU holy shit

I started to list off what I'm reading but it's easier just to link you.

:scans list: It is safe to say we've pretty much read all the same things. Clearly we both have great taste. :bookmarks your bookmarks to keep handy:
no subject
Awesome! I always like finding someone I share fic taste with. Not that I didn't already kind of know that about you. ^^ But good to hear anyway.
