1. [random] islands in the sea: ch4 alt ending

    I’m posting this because I don’t have much else to post, but anyway…

    Writing islands was hard for a number of reasons, but I was really annoyed by how badly I wanted Hu and Pascal to get together before they actually did. The first time I wrote chapter 4, “indigo,” I ended it in a completely different way. It’s not poorly written, so I thought I’d share it.

    To get a feel on how this was meant to go, read ch4 until you get to the very end, right after Hubert says “anything and everything.” Then proceed.

  2. hey all

    Hi guys, sorry for the sudden silence here. If you follow me on my other tumblr or any other network, you may already know that I’ve been struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts/urges, and sudden turmoil with one of my close friends. The last 1-2 months have been very, very rough, and to be honest I’ve lost a lot of my desire to write fanfiction for any series, not just Graces.

    I’m taking a little break to find myself and hopefully get some professional counseling, but I’m hoping I can come back soon. If you’d like to contact me in the meantime, you can always PM me, follow my main tumblr at pengiesparkles, follow my twitter (now unlocked) at @freequiet, or email me at pengie @ unchained.nu.

    Thanks for your understanding! Hope you are all doing well.

    With love,
    pengie

     


  3. [XMAS FIC] nineteen

    title: nineteen
    series: Tales of Graces
    pairing: HubertxPascal
    summary: Hubert doesn’t think turning nineteen is anything worth celebrating. Pascal disagrees. futatsu boshi universe (an event referenced at the start of FB1).

    My sweet darling kon. I would write hupasu for her until I could write it no more. She asked for Hubert angst, or smut, or really anything, and I bounced around between ideas until I settled on this one. For some reason I always end up writing cute things for her, MAYBE BECAUSE SHE’S SO CUTE TEEHEE

    I know we’re past Christmas, but I hope this is still ok~

  4. [random] islands in the sea: the music

    As I’ve mentioned several times, islands in the sea was very heavily inspired by Futures’ The Karma Album. I was driving home from work and listening to the album — specifically to “Islands in the Sea” — when the idea of Hubert and Pascal being stranded on an island together popped into my head and refused to leave.

    What those of you who aren’t familiar with the album may not realize is that I drew a lot of inspiration from the music. Each chapter is titled after a song — but also inspired by said song, in some way, shape, or form.

    I decided to spend a little time going “behind the scenes” and pointing out which songs inspired which pieces. It would also be nice if as a side effect of this post, more of you listen to Futures!

  5. /smacks head into wall

    ok so tumblr mobile apparently eats the responses for anon asks or tries to turn them into their own separate posts (???) so for the anon who left me an ask about their long review on islands:

    I read all my reviews! I think I know who you are, anon (rather which review you mean) so yes I did. Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. I had tears in my eyes after that one. Much appreciated :) /blows kisses

    ON A DIFFERENT NOTE life is crazy right now with me having moved last weekend and a new puppy in the house but I will get those Christmas fics finished soon I promise ugh. I have them all started but writer’s block… craziness… stuff that needs painted… etc etc.

    Wow, thanks guys! I’m still surprised that so many people are interested in my mediocre fanfiction. :)

    I’ll try to do something special in celebration once Christmas is over and I’m done moving. I’m trying as hard as I can to get everyone’s fics done and I don’t want to let anyone down… please be patient ok? :(
