Thank you so much for 1K reads on "Sympathy Magic" already! Wild, man.
I finished the first draft last week, and I'm now on round two of final edits. I'm estimating I'll have the story fully posted by the end of this month.
If you're chomping at the bit for the next chapter and want to read something shorter to pass the time, I have 4 Skip one-shots on AO3. You can find them on my profile (TheLadyofShalott1989).
"Trust Fall" - Kip Grady was passably competent at a lot of things. But skating? Not so much.
(Or, Kip has the Aladdin moment he's always dreamed of. What? Who said that? Not Kip.)
"Still-Life in Yellow" (plus a podfic by kbirb pods - see works inspired by) - Kip waited three years for this. Now that it's finally happening, he's not letting go.
"Jenga" - It's date night at the Hunter-Grady house. Drinks are strong, egos stronger, and a Jenga tower may, or may not, survive the night. What else is new?
"UNKNOWN NUMBER" - Scott hasn't seen Kip in two years, even though he still thinks about him. Constantly.
Then a number with no caller ID sends him a text that splits his life clean in half:
Kip is dying.
Happy reading! <3

For those of you who are also now hooked on Heated Rivalry (they must have laced this show with drugs, istg), I'm working on a Skip (Scott x Kip) longfic. I've already posted the first six chapters (woo!).
Title: "Sympathy Magic" (after the Florence + the Machine song)
Omegaverse
Omega!Scott
Alpha!Kip
Humor
Lots of 2010s references
Texting
And last (but certainly not least) with appearances by Shane and Ilya, naturally.
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, go check it out on my profile. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I've had writing it. <3

My "Like Moths to a Flame (Or, the Redemption Arc of Sebastian Sallow) Series" is officially COMPLETE!
30th March 2023 ---> 13th January 2026 (34 months(!); I DID THE MATHS)...
Just under 400,000 words...
4 long fics, 2 one-shot collections, 1 Anne/Ominis spinoff fic, 1 short story, 5 standalone one-shots...
And 1 creator (me, hi!) who wrote (nearly) every day, learned how to draw (both traditional and digital art), and met so many lovely people while working on this series. And now it's finally, completely, YOURS to enjoy in its entirety. WILD, MAN.
Thank you to everyone - old, new, and even future(!) readers - who joined me (and Sebastian and Damien, of course) on this crazy unforgettable journey. It's meant (and continues to mean) the world to me. <3
Writers are supposed to write for themselves, I know, but I also wrote this series for YOU, and I hope Sebastian's and Damien's story sticks with you in some way, even if it's a small one.
Happy reading, wherever your interests land next, and stay awesome, y’all.

@Olia_Star AHHHH THANK YOU. Your comments were such a joy for me to read! And that's very kind of you. <3 FYI - I'm not cross-posting it here, but a fandom friend and I co-wrote a fic and I just posted the first chapter on AO3 today. It's called "Return to Sender," in case you want to check it out. No pressure though! Here's the link (if it works... LOL): https://archiveofourown.org/works/77770906/chapters/203729126

Happy holidays! An early chapter drop is my gift to y'all. <3
Fun fact: "Forward to Time Past" has a reveal in it that I've been holding onto for the past (nearly) three years. Enjoy!

We're in the final stretch now! Only a few more chapters until Sebastian and Damien's story officially ends. Enjoy today's chapter, my friends. The chapter was heavily inspired by Florence + the Machine's song "Seven Devils." ("Seven devils all around you... Seven devils in your house..." )

@Olia_Star I feel ya, my friend. It also makes me very happy to read that you feel that way, so thanks <3

@Attis-lil-bookstore OMG HI Always lovely to hear from you! I hope you’re doing well
The-Lady-of-Shalott
Oh, hello there. Early chapter drop to "And Time, a Maniac Scattering Dust," anyone? This chapter was inspired by "The Tale of Two Brothers" scene in Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for 2K reads on "You Cannot Put a Fire Out" (still my favorite fic in my Sebastian Sallow Redemption Arc series, although the final fic is slowly but surely edging it out, per usual lol), as well as 1K reads on my brief foray into JayVik! I don't know if I'll ever write another Arcane long fic, but it was extremely enjoyable to branch out into another fandom (and a nice break for my brain too). Have a great rest of the week, my friends. <3
