Just a quick final reminder of where future updates will be.

Happy Hallowe'en. Check out my pinned tweet for important info!

@lilkikibat I'm getting awful engagement on my "moving to BSKY" posts, which is saddening...

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

I'm moving to BSKY. @ athena-crikey. Would love to see you!

“Furuya-kun. You don’t have to go to war with me to persuade me to help you.”

“I know that,” snaps Furuya. And then, quieter but no less brittle, “I know. What I don’t know is the price.”

Moving to Blue Sky? I'm there now!

Following previous post, I see that (like Twitter) Tumblr has "reportedly" negotiated a deal to allow its content to be used to train AI. I'm also considering Bluesky. Some folks have already suggested it, a LOT of people are migrating there. Anyone else here who's there too?

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

Like many of us, I've been holding my nose to continue using Twitter. But the decision to allow blocked users to view content is truly despicable, and a huge safety risk for many. I'm seriously considering moving to Tumblr, which would be a new platform for me. Who's there?

On the run-up to finishing a long fic I get really excited about all the time and brain-space I will have free when it's done.

Except that by the time I hit post I am IMMEDIATELY thinking of concepts for the next one.

@KEllen70_ Thank you! <3

MDZS Olympic AU finished: https://t.co/jzkNxYD8En

It’s at this precise moment, seeing the softness in his eyes, the way his mouth parts slightly with something like wonder as he touches Lan Zhan’s ugly handywork, that Lan Zhan knows things will be okay.

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

@briggiemubai <3 thank you!

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

@KeriUltrici you know I love your cold reads, but you do whatever feels best :D

MDZS Olympics...

Three shots left. The crowd, apart from brief eruptions of sound when the arrows hit the targets, is silent. The atmosphere is tense, electric, the feel of it like the thick weight of a stormfront just before lightning splits the sky. The air is absolutely dead.

Lan Yi's criticism is measured, accurate, and withering.

“You can do better. I told you not to let yourself be distracted. If you want to win, cut that mess out of your heart and leave it behind. I can see it weighing you down.”

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

MDZS Olympic AU

For the first time Lan Zhan feels what it would really be like to compete against Wei Ying in a serious match. How strong his force of will is, how deadly his gaze. He could have been a soldier. Could have brought down men with his bow, not straw-stuffed targets.

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

MDZS Olympic AU

Heat blossoms at his throat, rises through the back of his neck to pool in the tips of his ears. It is not I who am the sensation, he wants to say. It’s us, you and me, this lie we’ve created. But he can’t say those words, not here on this bus, maybe not ever.

[athena_crikey @athena_crikey]

MDZS Olympic AU...

'Lan Zhan! Qing-jie arranged a night walking tour. Wanna come?'

Lan Zhan, eating dinner in the cafeteria with the juniors, blinks down at his phone.

'Super historic!' promises Wei Ying, in a wheedling addition.
