earthshaker 2021 comeback schedule

[leeseokmin]

given that i only have one final left to write, and it's due only on saturday, i've decided i have time to fuck around & write this post. i want to write more thought out fic next year and i already have a bunch of fic in mind. i'm creating a loose "schedule" of sorts as a way to look back next year and be like hey! dia used their brain this year!

january
title/concept: in memory
pairing/fandom: oihina || hq
estimated wc: 5000
epigraph/snippet:
We look at the world once, in childhood.

The rest is memory.

— Nostos, Louise Glück

february
title/concept: edge of our hope
pairing/fandom: 97z || svt
estimated wc: 15000
epigraph/snippet:

Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.

— Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripedes, Anne Carson

march
title/concept: myth of devotion
pairing/fandom: ushisaku || hq
estimated wc: 8000
epigraph/snippet:

Desire is never one way. Black

snakes crawl through your throat. The divine longs

for human proximity to divinity. The divine longs

for touch.

— Mira pushes aside the mountain you are climbing, Purvi Shah

april
title/concept: holding pattern OR growing pains
pairing/fandom: alex albon & daniel ricciardo, daniel ricciardo/max verstappen || f1
estimated wc: 8000
epigraph/snippet:

“Do you miss it?” Alex asks.

Daniel fixes Alex with a gaze that makes him feel cracked open, quickly glancing away.

“Max or Red Bull?”

Either. Both. Does it matter?

may
title/concept: fact or weapon?
pairing/fandom: ushikage || hq
estimated wc: 8000
epigraph/snippet:
"Kageyama," Ushijima frowns. "Is that your apartment?"
Kageyama spares a moment to look around, wincing at the stacks of unopened boxes and barely there furniture. Tsukishima had said it was a male living space and it is sparse compared to what he can see of Ushijima's apartment in the background of the call.


june
title/concept: forget the body
pairing/fandom: r63 seokhao || svt
estimated wc: 25000
epigraph/snippet:

“Promise me you will never force my hand,” Seokmin commands. Her eyes are deep, lovely, golden in the setting sun.

“Xinai, that is a lot to promise.”

“Promise me. I could not kill you,” Seokmin’s confession is honest.

july
title/concept: california, you're my last hope
pairing/fandom: iwaoi || hq
estimated wc: 15000
epigraph/snippet:

It will never be enough, the bull kelp like a whip coiling in tender hands,

hands who know to take or be taken, but take nothing with them: I will marry you.

I will marry you. So we can owe what we own to every beautiful thing.
— Vow, Diana Khoi Nguyen

august
title/concept: god has blood to lose
pairing/fandom: r63 woncheol || svt
estimated wc: 15000
epigraph/snippet:

“Ranger Jeon,” Seungcheol greets. It tastes like glass shattering in her mouth, that is not the name she wants to call.

A careful veneer draws itself over Wonwoo’s face. Seungcheol aches. “Ranger Choi. Welcome back to active duty.”

september
title/concept: heart/lines
pairing/fandom: wen junhui & xu minghao || svt
estimated wc: 5000
epigraph/snippet:

What is homeland? To hold onto your memory—that is homeland

— Journal of an Ordinary Grief, Mahmoud Darwish

october
title/concept: underbelly
pairing/fandom: jiang cheng/lan zhan, jiang cheng & wei ying, lan zhan/wei ying || mdzs
estimated wc: 10000
epigraph/snippet:

Jiang Cheng wants to hate Lan Wangji, needs to hate Lan Wangji. After all, Wangji has taken his last anchor to this world, the last of Jiang Cheng’s love. He cannot find it in himself.

In Wangji’s mind lives the last real link to Wei Ying.

commentary:
so maybe 10 fics in what i expect to be my final year of university, with a combined estimated word count total of 114000 is insane but i'll be very very happy if i even manage half of these. there's a wide variety here i think, with some fic (edge of our hope, fact or weapon) being things that i wouldn't normally write
