3 for Situation: Infatuation, 6, 8, 12, 15 for the fanfic ask meme! :D

What inspired Situation: Infatuation?
Mostly just a continuing obsession with the idea of Mayor Snart, and Ray not being a billionaire, instead just a broke millennial just getting by. I wanted a slightly more realistic CW character, and instead I ended up with a big nerd haha.

What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?
So in all my fics, you’ll usually see little asides about things that have happened with these people in the past. Little things that flesh the characters out, usually daft stuff like Len and Ray both tried to order ‘tea, Earl Grey, hot’ like Picard when they first got to use the replicators in the kitchen. 

How often do people catch onto your little details?
I’m not sure, tbh! A few people mention them in comments, and they seem to really like them. However with the AO3 kudos button being so easy - and I’m guilty of it too, so I don’t mean this as a slight - I don’t know how many people really spot them! 

What’s the hardest thing to write for you?
Smut. I absolutely HATE writing smut. I write about three lines, then I get all embarrassed and end up procrastinating on Tumblr for ages. I did a million times better when I was younger, but as I’ve got older I absolutely hate it. It’s a little frustrating, because I’m rather fond of rimming and such and there’s not enough! 

Give us a snippet of something from your WiPs!
Ray had insisted this wasn’t an actual date, he knew Leonard wasn’t his boyfriend, but Leonard wasn’t so sure. Ray looked at him like he could barely believe his luck – when he wasn’t asking impossible things of him, like don’t steal the Faberge egg, where would you even hide it? Ray looked at him like it wasn’t an act, like their dalliances had meant something. The way Ray’s hand had rested on his back, scorching him through the overpriced suit he was wearing. The soft kisses Ray gave him, different from the harsh and demanding way he kissed on the Waverider. Leonard has gone on undercover missions with him, Sheriff John Wayne is not that good of an actor.

Len should say something, will say something, but breaking Ray’s heart in the middle of his brothers reception isn’t good fake boyfriend behaviour.
