Alright, on the off-chance you still haven't come up with an idea for it, I'm finally doing this! Thanks so much for your patience, my life has just eaten all my fic-related brainspace.

I won't rehash the DNWs, you saw that in the AO3 sign-up.

The main thing to know on top of what I wrote in the sign-up is that I am fine with the traditional romantic stuff for Ken/Stewy but prefer something messier for my other ships.

Some general things I like:
  • Fandom cliches: Only One Bed, fake dating turned real, friends to lovers (though here I'm only really into the straightforward romantic version of that with Ken/Stewy)
  • Sex pollen I can often take or leave, but I loooooove it with ships like this where I prefer things a bit messy and like the idea of characters giving into their worst instincts, the worst part of their id :) (and while I don't like full-on non-con, I'm fine with some dubcon)
  • Outside character perspectives/reactions
  • Introspection/character study
  • Soulmate AUs. I got a great one of these in an exchange recently for Romangerri, so would prefer it for a different ship if you go that route, but if you have a great idea for that there go ahead. With these ships, please make them demented and weird and uncomfortable! (That said, as spelled out in DNWs, I don't like the "main characters aren't actually soulmates" variation, so don't do that.)
  • Some things I really like for smut fic: Oral sex, especially cunnilingus or rimming. Strap-ons. Motorboating, nipple play (no clamps though), boobs/chest focus. Leaving scars and other marks. Men getting pegged.

Ship-By-Ship:
  • Tomgreg: My OG Succession ship! I love anything that just plays into the insane amount of subtext and chemistry between them and it reaching a boiling point. Anything that plays into how deranged Tom is about Greg. While I can see Greg returning his attractions, I have a hard time buying stuff that's too traditionally romantic for them, so please make it awkward as all-get-out. A good way to put it as I see these two as "soulmates (derogatory)." Like, yeah, they belong together, but it's a mess because they're a mess.
  • Romangerri: This is probably my favorite Succ ship along with Kenstewy. I love me an older woman/younger man pairing and it's just such a bad, bad idea but the chemistry is off the charts and Gerri deserves to have that messy younger man if she wants, and I love how much Roman is into her. And yet it's such a terrible idea. And yet it's so irresistible to watch unfold!
  • Kenstewy: I came out of the final shipping this HARD. Stewy seems to be the one person who truly cares for Kendall, and there's such a great room for friends messing around to lovers here, for Kendall realizing that Stewy is who he belongs with over time. This is the one pairing where I'm into something more traditionally romantic. Give me those cute friends-to-lovers tropes or that classic slowburn, though I'm also game for something silier, more humorous with them.
  • Naomi/Ken/Stewy: This is mostly that I really like Kendall with both Stewy and also Naomi - I love the two black sheep of warring political media families making terrible decisions together. I tend to prefer this as V-shaped with Kendall in the middle, but if all three are involved together that's also fine.
  • Gerri/Shiv: A situation where Gerri wants someone a little smarter than and whom she feels "gets her" more than Roman, or perhaps that just starts as a way to mess with him and then they realize they're really into it? 
Specific Prompts By Ship
  • Tom/Greg: soulmate AU (derogatory), they're fucking behind the scenes the whole time, how the relationship evolves post-canon, Greg feeling conflicted about what he feels for Tom, Tom having some unrealistic romantic fantasy in his head that we know Greg isn't into
  • Romangerri: The hookups we didn't see on screen, Roman reconciling with her post-canon, Roman catching real feelings (and not liking that) but feeling convinced Gerri doesn't feel the same. Pegging is a big smut like here!
  • Kenstewy: Messing around in college (kissing guys on molly) and catching feelings but not knowing what to do with them, Kendall cheating on other partners with Stewy and grappling with his feelings, Stewy pining away and only at the end of the fic realizing Kendall returns his feelings, and all the classic friends-to-lovers stuff like first kiss, first time, romantic slow burns. Really into post-canon scenarios here as well! Stewy deserves a BJ for sticking by his friend :)
  • Naomikenstewy: Smut's the main idea I have here. Things getting complicated if Naomi realizes that Kendall is more into Stewy than her
  • Gerrishiv: Shiv as Gerri's rebound after Roman but Shiv being okay with that, one taking it more seriously than the other, messing with Roman turns into something more, Shiv having her first lesbian experience with a mature woman

Hello loyal readers!

I've decided to post the tentative update schedule for my fic "Way Harsh, Ziyal," the Garashir riff on Emma/Clueless that I'm doing for the WIP Big Bang. I'm doing this in the interest of making it clear that while the updates are going up pretty fast right now, they're going to slow down considerably come September, when my school year starts (I'm a university professor as my day job). Here's where you can follow along, and I'll cross off each chapter and its date as I post them!


July 26th: Chapter 1

July 29th: Chapter 2

July 31st: Chapter 3

August 4th: Chapter 4

August 7th: Chapter 5

August 17th: Chapter 6

September 4th: Chapter 7

September 19th: Chapter 8

September 23rd: Chapter 9

October 22nd: Chapter 10
October 29th: Chapter 11-12

November 5th: Chapter 13-14

November 12th: Chapter 15-16

November 12th is the official "posting date" that I was given by the WIP Big Bang organizers, and so I'll also be making a post here and on Tumblr promo-ing the fic on that date.

Happy reading! If it seems a bit slow and discussion-heavy right now, know that it's going to pick up very soon.

Update 8/16: I have a new posting date thanks to how hard pre-semester preparations were kicking my ass, so the schedule has been changed to accommodate this!

Update 8/27: Sorry for the delays on chapter 7! The new semester has been kicking my ass, and I've had to prioritize those professional duties, but I've set a new date when I can make it happen and hey, you won't have to wait long between it and chapter 8 (which is good, a lot is happening in chapter 8)!

Update 10/21: New posting date! I'm hoping to get chapter 10 up today or tomorrow; after that, I'll be posting two chapters each week!

UPDATE 2024: Did this schedule completely fall apart because I got too bogged down in real-world work, including professional writing? Yes, it did. But did I manage to finish the fic before the end of 2023? Literally minutes before midnight, but yes! Click that link above to read the COMPLETED FIC WHOOOO!
