Summary: Tyler,” Gene said, in tones that told Sam he’d already guessed the answer. “Did you adopt some flea-ridden moggy?”

Author notes: 
Written as a thank you for a beta [personal profile] smallhobbit did for me! The title is borrowed from the song by Al Stewart published in 1976. It has the same dreamlike quality of getting lost 'where they turn back time' and feeling your life 'like a river running through' as the show. The setting of the song (Vietnam) is rather different from 1970s Manchester but the last two verses resonate strongly, just swap the pronouns...

"Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay"

YouTube algorithm threw this at me tonight and on this occasion the YouTube algorithm was bang on. This is, in fact, relevant to my interest. No, I've never heard of them until today. No, I did not know any of their names (I do now so A+ marketing). But what I do know is that this is the kind of soft queer pining vibe I'm absolutely into. And it's a bop.

I've managed to reach Chapter 5 in my book. I've written about 15,000 words or more. I'm still writing at the moment but at least I know now I'm capable. I'm going to keep writing until it's ingrained in my soul. I'll be on chapter 6 in a little bit. I plan on reaching Chapter 30, I want a novel, not a novella.

Fun fact, my real life name means love! That's why this dragon here is my self dragon.



Her name is Ai which means love in Japanese. My name means love in a different language but Ai definitely Aidentify with this name too. Besides, dragons with 2-letter names are coveted on Flight Rising as it's no longer possible to give 2-letter names to dragons (unless it's your progenitor which can't be sold) so she's pretty special.

This dragon's name also means love in Irish which is technically closer to me as I'm Irish (this is not my name either lol)



She is also a special dragon due to her ID being 7 digits long and the fact that she's an Earth element Imperial. When I noticed that we share the same birthday, I had to buy her right away, and named her similarly to my name.

As soon as the genes Love and Affection came out, I knew they had to go on the dragons that represent me so I slapped them on these guys right away. You can't see it that well on Gra since she has a full body skin but it's the symbolism that counts! (tbh you can't see it that well on Ai either but see my previous sentence lol)

I'm replaying the game and just got to Kai's level 6 bond event and it just ... gets me every time, man. Not that I fall for his prank again or anything but everything in there is ... oh it just hits. GoA is not lacking in feels when it comes to the storyline, like I really love Kanata's bond event with Sorano, and Murasame's with Appare feels significant as well, but, well, I guess that's the reason that I went with Kai. It's because his bond events just get to me.

First things first, here's a list of some useful resources on my journal that you might be looking for:
- Alphabetical list of Havelock Vetinari/Rufus Drumknott fanfiction
- Music of Princess Tutu (abridged)
- Galehaut and Lancelot 5-minute summary

Anyway this is a lil post about me so you know what you're getting into. Feel free to comment here if you need anything from me!

Name: Rufus
Pronouns: she/her
Age: 30...ish

About me: Hello, my name is Rufus and I love writing. I tend to dabble in a lot of fandoms as I go through them but some will stick longer than others. I don't always post my fics here so please do follow my ao3 if you enjoy them but I will sometimes post fics here long, long before I post them to ao3, if ever, usually because I don't like them enough to go onto my ao3 until I do. These days, I write original work the most. I love writing slow burn romances. In real life, I am a practicing Muslim and a psychologist specialising in childcare, development, and education.

Important note: I have two major triggers which I ask you to respect when interacting on my journal which are suicide and self harm. Please avoid referencing these topics here. Thank you!
In addition, discussions about personal medical health like lab tests and illnesses make me deeply uncomfortable unless they are with close friends so I generally avoid these as well. This is just to let you know why I may avoid engaging with certain posts.

What you'll find on my journal: Fics, exchange letters, the occasional blog post. I am trying to make those more frequent!

"I like Scandinavians, skiing, swimming and socialists who realize it is our business to promote social progress by peaceful methods. I dislike football, economists, eugenicists, Fascists, Stalinists, and Scottish conservatives. I think that sex is necessary and bankers are not."

This was kind of a hard one. I don't seem to think in terms of goals even though I have things like daily to-do lists. Here are a few things I managed to think of:

Goals )

And here's a fic although ao3 is down right now, I somehow managed to post it 20 minutes before maintenance which must be really annoying for people who got it in their notifications but can't read it right now so I'll post it here too (I mean why not)

Fandom: K.A.R.D.
Pairing: Matthew Kim | BM/Kim Taehyung | J.Seph, Kim Taehyung | J.Seph/Original Male Character(s)
Tags: Ficlet, Canon Compliant, Jealousy, Denial of Feelings
Rating: G

Summary: “He’s looking at you,” Matthew murmurs under the guise of bending down to hand over a bottle of water.

Author notes: 
I was looking for a prompt to write something for the first challenge of [community profile] sunshine_revival and then K.A.R.D. dropped Touch. And listen, they know what their target audience (the thirsty bis and pans) want and keep them well fed. I've been low key wanting more fic for this pairing and the MV gave me this brief frame at 2.09 where the (very hot) dancer looks like he's checking Taehyung out and... Well. Longer fic has been written on a flimsier premise. Unbetaed so if you spot a typo you absolutely should tell me about it.
