Shamefully Blissful
If you're reading this, you're obviously curious so I won't keep you for long :)
I'm ashamedbliss. I was in my late teens when I initially wrote this post, and it makes me cringe, but I guess baby!Bliss also didn’t know what 2023!Bliss had in store for her so the cringe is probably shared. Find me on AO3, otherwise, enjoy this time capsule from 2011.
So, yes. "Why are you even here?!" I hear you cry. Or not. Anyway, I like to write. Actually, I'm here because I love Muse. Adore the music, the antics and the guys themselves. I'll try not to go too fan-girly on you but they're pretty important in my life, so if you're here to hate, please remove yourself promptly.
If not, come in and join the party!
I've posted all my fics below, but a whole host of equally as lovely and wonderful fics can be found on my Friends page, each story unique and full of talent. I love every single one of them to bits, and more often than not squeal when something new pops up on that page, because I'm very cool like that. Communities to watch/join are museslash and mkmeme.
I also post personal things here about my real life. If you'd like to read that as such, you must comment here first then I will friend you back. If you friend me without a comment or message, you won't get any reply from me.
Peace and joy,
Bliss :) x

Extra Information
My Lingo
Non-AU = Real life. Studio Muse, touring Muse, even Muse before Muse. Basically, fanfic that correlates to times and places in history, and keeps the guys in character with who they really are, even if the events change completely. Still fake, though.
AU = Alternate Universe. Any profession/world that doesn't involve them as members of Muse. Also includes the guys majorly out of character (or species). Totally totally fake.
Non-AU/AU = my term for saying that this could be in the world of Muse, or it doesn't have to be. Normally only used for one-offs.
Of course, this isn't the end, there's still so much more that I want to write. Stay tuned, folks!
[edited in 2023 to remove identifying information. Older Bliss has created a much more sinful digital footprint on AO3 than this baby!Bliss ever did and thus baby!Bliss had been a bit more forthcoming with personal details. Poor little dot. So innocent.]
