first longfic finally completed

last week, i finished my first longfic, and my first story ever.
 

it was a library AU, fluffly, and low-stakes (maybe a bit too low-stakes), at around 35k words. this project was really just me wanting my OTP to have the cute story i’d always wanted to read.

it has been quite a journey. I won’t ramble too much about it here, since i’ve already done that multiple times everywhere else, even in the author’s notes. honestly, i think this work is proof of how much i’ve improved since i first started in 2022, and especially since i picked it back up in 2025.

i’m still not ready to let librarian eli x scholar luchino go. i have an ongoing ficlet collection where i’ll keep dropping random scenes, plus an explicit fic of them in an established relationship. i’ve also included many of my other ships in this AU that only my friends know about... maybe i could write about them, too.

 

i’m not sure what's next yet. I have other longfic ideas as well as some wips i left behind, and there are always challenges and events going on here.

 

let’s see what comes next!
