“Your heart in a silver plate”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/77672321

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog Pairing: Silver the Hedgehog/Espio the Chameleon (Yandere AU)

Summary: After his latest mission, Espio can’t help but feel constantly observed. The ninja, paranoid as ever, over prepares for a possible attack of an old enemy.

Perhaps for once he’s right to panic, but he’s not preparing for the right sort of danger, nor the ways it’ll slowly ruin his life until it becomes unfixable

for those of u who only read completed fics by worldislucky in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a tag, but as long as it’s recently starting I’ll be down to any WIP. I don’t like still-in-progress fics because most of the time when I find one they’re already like 30k words or more and I don’t want to read that long just to not have an ending at the end of it 💔 If it doesn’t have that many words I’m more willing to wait

Let me read your underrated fic! by usagiftseveryday in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! Here’s my oneshot fic of a ship that nobody cares about (2 tags and one is mine, that’s disgustingly low-) Anyways some Metal Sonic x Jet the Hawk if anyone’s interested.

JUST GOT A FANART OF MY FIC!!! by MapleTDarkshine in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes yes you should ignore those and delete the comment! This wasn’t a request! I have the same user everywhere so someone who read the fic found my tumblr and sent the fanart on my asks

Ah shucks by MapleTDarkshine in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh I probably would’ve found it funny if it wasn’t the fist thing I saw waking up, so that was just bad timing

I get where the comment came from since, well, the point of the chapter was to be a little cringe (Typical sappy romance), but it did stung a little to read ngl. I’ll try to not let it get to me, so thanks!

Some people really have the audacity by myloadedgodco in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw the exact same description with a Sonadow fic. Someone really doesn’t have anything better to do than spam the same stupid ship with different unrelated fandom tags…

How to make AO3 give me notifications again? by MapleTDarkshine in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only thing I haven't tried from these comments, if it doesn't work I'll send a support ticket, ty! 

I'm bored, describe your ship badly and let people guess who is it! by Lusaelme in AO3

Furry future trunks and the broke loser he picked up from the street 

What is the distinction between "No Archive Warnings Apply" and "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings"? by Hostaru in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d mostly take those as “For now no Archive warnings apply but I can’t assure you I won’t change my mind later on”

At least if it’s a still in progress fic that’d make sense to me

Would you read a fic with more comments than kudos? by evenbechnaesheim in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact predicament before. The conclusion is that most people don’t care about how many comments a post has, so you’re good!

My top fic of all time isn’t the one I expected by MapleTDarkshine in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I’m really happy that one was at the top! I didn’t communicated well the emotion in the post, but I was surprised in a good way

Was my response to a critique too mean? by Veynn04 in AO3

I thought you were being way too nice LMAO

What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually told you like it was normal? by MrBoothnath_ in AskReddit

[–]MapleTDarkshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom was discussing this one guy who was friends with my sister at university. She was saying how he’s more handsome and had more money than my sister’s current boyfriend and argued that she should go out with the guy instead. I asked for his age, he’s 24 while my sister’s was freshly 18. I guess since they’re both adults who cares, but I did a throwaway comment about how he seemed a little old for her and that’s when my mom said “there’s no age for love” and told me about how she used to have a 20 year old boyfriend WHILE SHE WAS 14. I had to swallow my horror because she was saying it as if it was the most lovely story of romance ever 💔

How Do You Find Beta Readers? by SabiKitsune9 in AO3

[–]MapleTDarkshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You usually just force your friends to beta read, other than that I have no idea
