6. What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?
Idk if it’s a hidden detail, but I always want people to read the dialogue and really be able to hear the characters saying it. In AUs also often like to include parallels with things that have happened in canon, so I always hope people pick up on those too. And I love having running threads and callbacks to moments earlier within the fic, but it’s tricky to know if I’ve made them too blatant – I want them to be subtle, but I want people to notice, so I find it difficult to get the balance right!
15. Give us a snippet of something from your WiPs!
I just put up a bit from my zombie fic in my other response to this question, so here’s a bit from the sex worker AU as well:
Felipe smiles at him patiently. “Don’t be nervous,” he says soothingly, coming to stand in front of him.
Rob feels himself blushing again. “It’s my first time doing this,” he blurts out, feeling even more stupid.
Felipe smiles. “The first time you pay for it?” he asks. “Or the first time you pay this much?” he adds, chuckling.
That makes Rob laugh a little too. “Both,” he admits. “I have no idea how this is meant to go.”
Felipe runs his hands up Rob’s arms, over his shoulders, fingertips touching the nape of his neck and making him shiver. “Relax,” he murmurs. “We do anything you want. If I do anything you don’t like, you tell me to stop, OK?”
Rob feels the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. “Can I kiss you?” he asks. He wants to, but he’s not sure if it’s some kind of taboo.
“If you want to, for sure,” Felipe laughs lightly, tilting his face up so it’s easy for Rob to just lean down and press his lips to Felipe’s.
