5, 6, 12 for Fanfic Day Meme!

5. What’s your favorite headcanon you use in fics?

Idk if this counts as a headcanon or just as a very slightly tweaked reality lol but I like Rob being the soppy, affectionate, romantic one who goes in for hair-ruffling and saying stuff like “I’m the husband” in public, while Felipe’s being more tsundere and trying to play it cool/professional until they’re alone. I like the idea of Felipe being unexpectedly more sensible, at least these days, and being the mum friend and looking after wild lad Rob, haha.    

Already did 6! 

12. What’s the hardest thing to write for you?

Everything I think actually what I hate the most is transition scenes and moving between important bits. I think I’ve got better at just going ‘Right, moving on’, but it’s still hard to know how to smoothly get from A to B when the bit in between isn’t necessary but you need to have a bit of filler somehow, even if it’s just a sentence or two. I also hate writing big emotional stuff cos it’s so hard to a) gauge exactly how emotional the characters would be without making them seem unhinged, and b) writing it appropriately so it evokes the correct emotion, without either being flat, or OTT and just ending up laughable. And rn I’m finding it so difficult in the last few chapters of my roadtrip fic to remember everything I’ve already dealt with in order to avoid rehashing it or, worse, contradicting it! It’s a real brain-breaker, so even though the spirit is willing, it’s still slow going!

Thanks!
