Sunday Six: Original Id Fic

[galaxysoup]

So I scrapped my first plot, started over with the same world and characters and a few of the beats I wanted to keep from the first attempt, and in the last four days have written 2.5k words, which for me lately is quite good! New tropes include: touch-starved character, shapeshifters, time loop shenanigans.

“Yeah?” Jamie eyes him thoughtfully for a moment, then smiles and spreads his arms. “Hug incoming!”

Theo manages to hug back this time, copying the placement of Jamie’s arms around him as closely as possible. They stay like that for a few minutes, and then Jamie gives a huge, wavery sigh and sort of tucks his face against Theo’s neck before pulling back. He rests his hand on Theo’s shoulder for a quick squeeze before letting go completely.

It’s. It’s fine.

(It’s amazing.)

I am also doing NaNo camp again and I think I managed to fix whatever I did in my settings last time so that people can actually find me now. I'm Galaxysoup there too, if anyone else is camping this month!

Oh no Theo doesn't know how to hug?? I love him already. And Jamie. And this hug.

Good luck with Camp NaNo! I am there and happy to chat or do sprints or stuff. Also naye there.

Theo for sure doesn't have a lot of experience hugging, but also the first time Jamie hugged him he was caught by surprise and froze up completely because he is a precious disaster. :D The 'hug incoming' warning is totally going to become A Thing.

Woohoo, Team NaNo!! \o/ Is doing sprints a thing? I am... not well versed in NaNo. :D

Awww, "hug incoming" is adorable!

Woohoo, Team NaNo!! \o/ Is doing sprints a thing? I am... not well versed in NaNo. :D
I only did it in April (with a goal of 5k I upped to 10k yay) because I was invited by ranalore. She's set up a Cabin which gives you a group chat for up to 20 people? So that's where I hang out most of the time. People chat about writing and sometimes someone's like "Doing a sprint now!", but it's not an official NaNo thing.

Ohhhhhh, I get it! Thanks for explaining. :D April was my first time too!
