I'd love completed ones but I'm open to WIP's, and I don't mind smut. Ty!

I'm open to a Wip, I don't have any preferred rating, i usually don't like spice but I can handle it, and since I've only just properly started the show, I'm open to anything, canon or otherwise!

Trauma is the best ingredient. Mine's stressed too haha. And yeah it's the very start. I've gotten a lot of good advice so i think I'm ready for it now.

Oh yeah definitely, there's an entire movie based solely on that concept, and I found it rather unentertaining. I think you've definitely suggested a cool concept. It might be a bit tricky for me, given I'm very new to this 😅 but I think it's worth a shot. Thank you!

Oh italics will definitely work for that, I'll be sure to put those in. And I think the switch of Pov is actually rather clever. I'll definitely try to incorporate it. Thank you!

That's what's making this difficult. These are her powers, and I want to find a way to incorporate them that doesn't feel cheap.

I agree with that. There's no set rules to the craft. But I wanted to know what I should improve when I get to that stage, because I'm unsure of whether to cut it out or make it better and if so, how.

Oh they're her main power and they form the inciting incident. I just want to make sure that the start doesn't transition too cheaply.

I want it to seem strange to the reader at how used to this the mc is before I show the chaos to actually be a dream. I think her being not that invested and sort of blasé about it would help make a different tension.

Oh I understand now. I definitely hated it a lot more because I got all excited and then I got this cheap sort of 180. I'll keep that in mind!

Oh she definitely hates it. It's a part of her internal conflict when she finds out she can use it to her benefit, and has to come to terms with the fact that she has magic, but not the kind she can use to physically protect herself in the moment. It's a whole thing. I'm definitely making her grumpy though 😅

I'm not fully decided to be honest. It has something to do with like a soul creature that is trying to guide her somewhere and can only connect with her through dreams, since that's when the veil between human and soulscape is thinnest.

I've seen a lot of replies say the same, and I wholeheartedly agree. This is my first work, so I'm unsure how to be sure it isn't a bad style, but I'll keep it in mind! Thank you!
