write like you need it to survive

Fifteen years ago today, on November 29, 2008, I went ahead and made an account on the Archive Of Our Own, just to see what it might be like, and fifteen years later I can't entirely imagine what fic fandom would be like without it!

In celebration, I posted the latest chapter of my very slowly ongoing Arranged Marriage Dreamling AU:

Dream may have to marry, but he knows how to make sure his marriage lasts at least a hundred years before going down in flames.

A marriage, century by century.
