Hoax Asks - Tumblr Posts
I’m on my second read through of the second chapter and it hurts even more the second time around even though I know that cliffhanger is coming
OMG NO I FEEL SO BAD, like i want everyone to feel the pain but i also don't want to make you suffer ackkk
and second read?? YOU'RE LITERALLY THE BEST <3
ik i said this a bunch now but IT'LL GET BETTER, I PROMISEEEE
Did Ari read her diary? 👀 since it was open and she doesn’t remember opening it
👀👀👀
yes haha, Ari did! i initially wrote a scene where he found the diary in his pov, but then decided to remove it because i wanted the angst to hit so much harder.
That’s also why you see some subtle changes in him after, that regret hit him hard and will CONTINUE to hit him hard 😌 also, he pretty much sucks at communicating (with real talk at least and confessing that he's wrong, because you know that he's proud), which is why he communicates by making sure that the baby is okay, bc if the baby is fine then she might be fine, too...?
anyways, time to make him suffer a bit yknow

second i read 4 times like obsessed
[reference to this ask]
and oh my gosh, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy it, though i can't imagine reading it that many times without wanting to punch ari more and more... i swear he'll turn into a completely different person and possibly suffer (like... what's worse than losing your loved one?)
Hey!💗 I'm just soo in love with your fic hoax that can't even being to tell you like I don't even know where to start it is just so mind-blowing🤌🤌✨😮💨 and had touching like in some fics it takes time to connect to characters and it happened real fast in this fic with me🥰 and the✨✨angsttt✨✨ it just so good and hits me right in my chest where it hurts the most and I loveee you💗 for it🥹
Spoilers below-
So i read your ask where you revealed that baby won't be dead that means obviously reader will live this accident too so here's a scenario what if reader is at her workplace and she has started showing her baby bump🥹 so everybody knows she is preggo and takes extra care of her expet his husband like he does care in his own way but because of his big ego he just doesn't express it that much . So one day she just feeling really nauseas or maybe some a ache or something and she wants to go home so now maybe there is a special someone or not so special someone who is her co worker or maybe he can also be her frnd he offers to drive her but she refuses obviously our sunshiney reader but he insists on it so she agrees because she isn't sure if she could count on ari to pick her up or even care enough to send someone. So when reader arrives home with this frnd he helps her out of his car by like holding her and giving support so that she could walk or something and ari is watching this scene from the balcony. And gets furious(the man who literally has an engagement ring for his girlfriend 🥲😵) and asks questions like who is that and why was he like..... where this argument will go to....
See I don't want Ari jealous that is obviously a bonus point I just want him hurt that his wife who is preg with his child can't count on him for anything like he has pushed to this end that she won't even ask him even if it an emergency and so on...like really ansty stuff🥲
BESTIE the way I ran to answer this ask HAHAHA. honestly, one of the first few scenes I wrote for hoax was a similar (if not almost exact) scene you're talking about!
I really love how separated the reader's two worlds are. With Ari, there's a lot of self doubt cast upon herself and her abilities, but at work, she's praised and desires to succeed. Bridging these two very different worlds will definitely be disastrous, and I can't wait.
and I came completely imagine in: the way Ari comes up to the man and starts an argument with him, reader calming Ari down and even siding with this "coworker" (ahem, Andy). and he's like genuinely pent-up and also beating himself up, like why don't I even know where she works? why won't she tell me these things? why can't I protect her? and he just demands that she stops working or at the very least, he'll pick her up and drop her off.
in hoax, i was thinking about this similar confrontation but on more angsty terms... reader will suffer again but the angst will be worse because by then, it won't be ari's job to take care of her, but she will have to take care of herself, you know? since she's going to grow out of her shell hehe.
then his bodyguards come into play soon hehe
anyways, yeah. lots of development and character growth coming for the both of them with their own separate time needed.
thanks for the ask! i always love long ones and reading your scenario really got me an extra few hundred words or so to this next chapter haha.
In hoax, will reader die like the original au? I know it's a major spoiler, you don't have to have answer it if you don't want to.
But if there's a tiniest chance I can get to know I'll try asking this. My little heart can bear this thought 😭😭 You literally made me cried like a baby......
i honestly do think it is a major spoiler, but i also currently don't know what to do with her fate yet!
if it helps, i do love happy endings though... angst doesn't exactly need to end with death, right?
but yeah sorry i can't answer this properly! nooo it'll get better i promise <33
Hoax is just *chefs kiss* the angst is killing me but I’m also loving it!! Are we ever going to see Ari get jealous??
ahhh thank you so much! i'm currently working on pt. 3, i promise! and yes, we're going to see ari jealous very, very soon haha.
Do you have a tag list for hoax? If so could you add me please?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
of course! my tag list is here, just make sure to comment / reblog to be added! <3
Why does the maids hate the reader too?? Like wtf why are they team sharon 😡
for one, they actually met sharon wayyy before reader existed, so it's like a loyalty thing.
and it's kind of like a group influence thing, too, if that makes sense? they see ari despise reader, and they also see him very down. so they simply make the connection that reader must've done something wrong, that she's the bad guy like ari "painted" her out to be, and is in a way getting revenge for ari because reader put him in this depressing, sad mood (cause he'll never be able to marry sharon LMAO / RIP I GUESS)
but yeah, hopefully she'll win them over... not that they deserve to be won over
i found your blog on accident while looking for ari's fics and im so glad i clicked on your page because it's making me feel every type of emotion 😩😩
can't wait for hoax pt. 3 and in general your next writings :((
that's honestly so sweet of you! thank you so much <333
honestly don't know how the tumblr algorithm works but i'm just glad you don't regret clicking my blog haha
I think I’m a bit confused 🤔 I’m part three your said the baby dies but she’s still pregnant🤔 maybe I missed something
😅 first off, sorry if you’re confused! lmk where I messed up and I’ll fix the part where it says she’s pregnant, bc she’s definitely not. the baby didn’t make it and she’s currently not pregnant rn.
maybe you’re reading scenes where she reflects on how the baby kept her going / how ari initially changed his attitude towards her bc she was pregnant back then?
Hold on! She is not pregnant 😅 because I too thought that she was
You were going to give in, going to give up. You had your hands over the baby, thinking that maybe if the man wasn't too rough, the two of you could make it out alive.
That maybe once he used you and disposed of you like everyone else did, it'd be okay, because at least your baby lived to survive another day.
(This was after miscarriage right??or is it before)
"Your baby-"
"I don't know what to tell you, Ari." . "If someone saw me like this, they'd wonder why didn't leave months ago. They'd think I'm stupid for wasting my life away for someone." Your lower lip trembles. "You know what's funny? still would. Waste my life away for that someone like an idiot."
He's silent. You sink to your knees, almost begging him. "Please. I don't think either of us can pretend that we're right for each other. Maybe in another universe we are. Wrong place, wrong time, you know?But if you liked me even a little bit... I hope you can sign."
"I won't," he says.
"Is this really about a child, Ari?" You whisper. "Or is this something more?"
(And here too ther is a reference about the baby so i thought she got pregnant again 😵💫)
haha I woke up, so I promise I'll fix all these issues! in short: reader is not pregnant. lowkey would cause more issues if she is again uhh-
and thanks for pointing these sections out!
tbh, i wrote the rob / crime / piece with Andy moment way before the moment I realized ... baby had to go. oh God this sounds so bad but yeah haha I didn't write chronologically so it was an issue on my part, one that I thought I caught!
so yeah. that moment was after miscarriage. i'll fix it, promise!
"your baby" could be confusing cause it's after the scene of the "crisis" that genuinely tips reader over the edge, but it's actually a reference to the miscarriage, and how devastated she was. and if you notice, reader asked if it really was about "a child," referring to ari needing to give an heir bc of the blackmail stuff etc.
yup! thanks for pointing these errors out. thought i caught them all but clearly not. the "baby" referenced will be her miscarriage, cause you know, it is pretty haunting. 😅 sorry for all the confusion again! thank you for this!
