Where are the James/Thomas sleeping beauty AUs?

I did not know I wanted this but now I WANT THIS

Additionally, consider: a beauty and the beast AU. James is the “monster” because of course that’s how he considers himself and he has to find someone who loves him as said monster..and of course Thomas does.

oooh what if james got turned into the beast bc he had already ‘lost’ thomas. and he thought there was no chance of him finding his truest love bc thomas was already ‘dead’ 

omg so like losing thomas is literally the thing that turns him into a monster but thomas being returned to him turns him back? 

I love that but I also love the more traditional “James thinks he can’t be loved because he’s a monster and Thomas proves him wrong” storyline where Thomas meets him as a “monster” and still sees the good in him. 

no but why not both? why not one where Thomas doesn’t even recognize James in monster form and James doesn’t want him to know, but he still sees the good in him and that’s what turns him back?

3, 5, 7, for the writer ask meme?

3: Summarize your current project poorly

Cup of their Deserving: Man screws over best friend and girlfriend, has the nerve to look surprised when girlfriend wrecks his ass. Best friend and girlfriend team up to save the world mostly out of spite with the aid of best friend’s husband and assorted others.

Full of Grace: Local Douchebag wins Horrible Excuse for a Father of the year award, pisses off the wrong two people in the process.

And the Sea With Its Deepness: Man Thought Dead miraculously turns out to be alive. Man’s husband, father, and wife conspire to ruin a perfectly good evil plan while being Very Mad at each other.

post a line from your current project without any context 

CotD:
“Governor Rogers,” he greets. “Oh good. Everyone I want to shout at in one place.” 

Full of Grace: 
“I’ll start negotiations with the rats immediately.”

And the Sea With Its Deepness:


“All the things I have done to make this possible. All the people I have
failed -” He shakes his head. “I can’t let it all mean nothing,” he
says, opening his eyes again to look at Hennessey.

would you want to live in the world of your current work? Oh hell no. there isn’t enough money in the world for me to willingly go live in a world where I would neither be taken seriously or be actually able to stay healthy given the distinct lack of the meds that keep me from living a short, unpleasant life. My best bet would be to pull an Anne Bonny and make everyone afraid to fuck with me and I’ve done that once. It wasn’t a good time.

hmm, four for a boy, #2, #5, and #11? :D

Ooh, good questions! 

2. You’ll never believe this, but this one the first scene I wrote down was literally the first scene of chapter 1. I wrote this one pretty much from start to finish without pausing for breath, or at least that’s what it felt like at the time. 

5. I think the hardest thing about this one was trying to get Flint’s voice right, and I’m still not convinced I managed it. I was still figuring out how to write him at the time, and I think I probably spent more time editing his POV sections than any of the rest of it, since Thomas and Miranda’s voices both come altogether more naturally for me. 

11. What I like best about this fic… hmm. That’s a tough one. I think it’s probably the fact that it’s Miranda essentially taking the bull by the horns and rescuing Thomas with James’ help rather than the other way ‘round. I like giving her that kind of leeway and agency in fics. And, of course, the fact that it is a rescue fic is an added bonus!
