Summary:
A collection of one-shots each inspired by a word with each letter of the alphabet
A thought about turian kissing came up after a recent comment on Parable and I thought, ‘why not make a list of my headcanons?’
Let’s start with the definition of ‘kiss’ because, as humans, using the word for various aliens’ signs of affection is more natural and romantic than simply describing the act.
Kiss as a verb – (A.) To touch or press with the lips slightly pursed, and then often to part them and to emit a smacking sound, in an expression of affection, love, greeting, reverence, etc. (B.) To touch gently or lightly.
Now, for the Headcanons:
Pretty sure I have more somewhere in my head, but I can’t really think of them. I also don’t claim to be the ‘right’ headcanons, but I figured I’d get it out there. Might help readers to understand Parable without bogging it down with space science.
Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.
Chuckling, he turns her head straight so he can finish. “If you’re sure. But we should think up a ‘safe word.’ We’ve tried out some of it before, but I think we should follow the rules this time.”
She snorts and smiles, the fact that he looked into something so broad of a subject as BDSM and came up with a set of rules for ‘the norm.’ “Alright. Let’s see …. Calibrations,” she says, smirking as she imagines his face.
“Calibrations? Really?” His voice is flat, but she knows his exasperation well enough to know exactly what he thinks of using that word for something so serious.
“Yeah, you’re right,” she agrees, grinning her amusement. “Knowing you, that might actually come up. How about ….” She hums and lets him work at the last of her hair, feeling the shift in his tugs and knowing the sensation enough to guess he’s finally tying up the end of the braid. “Burnt toast.”
His gentle tugs stop as he rumbles in confusion. “Burnt. Toast. Where the hell did you come up with that as the safe word?”
Jane snorts and looks over her shoulder with a smirk. “Since when would burnt toast come up in sex?” She waits for consideration to show in his eyes before she gives him a stern look. “Unless there’s something I should know about.”
He barks a soft laugh before thrumming. “You’re right. I’ve always considered crumbs all over the bed very sexy.”

Haven’t reblogged a prompt list in a while
would prefer anything NOT super angsty but I mean… Send what you will!
Would love some prompts for the OC dorks (Rose & Rainer), shakarian, shrios, rydaal, or Terra & Braham ❤ (but especially the OC dorks lmao)
- If you sometimes feel like it was pure, ridiculous hubris that you ever started a story that would take so much work and persistence to finish, I promise you, you’re not alone.
- If you feel like you’ve already been writing forever and the “good bits” are still ages away, you’re not alone.
- If you’ve been stuck for days or weeks or longer because you know what happens later but you don’t know what happens next, you’re not alone.
- If you’re desperate to squeal about your beloved OTP but you feel like you can’t, because spoilers, and it’s driving you nuts, you’re not alone.
- If you feel like you’ll never finish and you’re bound to fuck it up somehow, you’re not alone.
- If you wonder if you’ve sabotaged yourself because who’s going to click through to a 28 chapter WIP, you’re not alone.
- If you feel like you’ve been pouring your life into a single story for ages and will be for ages still and you don’t know why anymore because hardly anyone seems to care, you’re not alone.
- If you can hardly even plan the further-away parts of the story or even think about them because thinking about them reminds you how absurdly far you still have to go and you get massive anxiety, please believe me. You are not alone.
Dear longfic writers
- I fucking live for your work. Like I love me a little one-shot or a medium-length fic but srsly give me that 100k+ (200k? 300k? yes pls) goodness.
- I am constantly in awe of your ability to stick with your story, to keep your plot moving and your characters’ relationships developing like just damn.
- I don’t judge if your updates are erratic. If you’re worried about too much time passing between updates, just know that I and so many others squeal with joy when we get that subscriber notification in our inboxes.
- There is literally nothing more glorious than watching characters develop through a long-ass fic. Relationships, friendships, character growth? Sometimes after I’ve finished a longfic or I’ve gotten to the last update I’ll go back and reread the first couple chapters just to see how far my babies have come.
- If you stop updating your fic for whatever reason, that’s okay. We as readers are just lucky to have been graced with your story as long as you chose to write it. You’ve been gifting us with time and effort for this long and we appreciate it.
- As someone who has had multiple longfic ideas and either (1) got through two chapters and gave up or (2) was too overwhelmed by how much work it would take to actually write, you are my literal superheroes.
- You are brave and persistent and creative and a gift to fandom, and if you ever need a pep talk I am here to love on you.
I seriously just posted the final three chapters of a 100k+ sequel to a 100k+ story and this just made my day! I’ve been anguishing over it for days. Thank you ♥♥
This speaks so much to me. Sometimes I wonder why I keep going with Parable and if readers even still care. But I just have such a hard time letting those characters go! I’ll probably get to the point of beating a dead horse where no one reads, but oh well.
Thank you so much! 😀
Aw
thank you!!
*blush* Aww. Thank you! And I definitely plan to!
