Hello! My name is Laura. (Former username lauraeffingiero; you can find me on tumblr Ao3 etc. as lalaofthealpacas.)

Currently livin that directionless mid-twenties life. I like writing usually except when it sucks and then I don't. I also love drawing and hiking, cooking in all forms, and knitting various junk mostly for me because I am a selfish sort.

A jumble of random favorites:
The LOTR movies, tree identification, orange and yellow, Hadestown, Avatar: the Last Airbender, the found family trope, autumn, Pink Floyd, cats, every type of sock imaginable (except toe socks because my toes come as a package deal only which i realize makes it sound like my toes are attached to each other but they are not, they just don't like being flossed by socks), Jane Austen's special brand of repressed and sanitized romance, dinosaurs with or without feathers, Elder Scrolls but especially whatever the hell kind of creatures exist in morrowind, creative speech patterns, Hozier, omg and there was only one bed..., Dragon Age Origins, weird ice cream flavors, ladies, Adventure Time, a good cocktail or a shitty free one, and leaves, like the kind you find on trees or sometimes on the ground. if pressed i'd say i like the ones on trees better.

Story Updates:

JatD: (6/22/21) I've spent the quarantine working on my longfic, and it's still not done yet, but I'm actually close for real now despite having naively claimed to be nearly done literal years ago. it really is long. really long. and for what?? hopefully at least a satisfying ending?? Embarrassingly ashes is being re-written for the tenth time.

(4/5/20) Still here!!! I had to rewrite the second half of Ashes so that has slowed me down but that's close to done (again, since supposedly it was done to start with lol) and then I'm back to my main horrendously neglected fic! Meanwhile hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

(10/22/19) I'm posting a shortish chapter fic from 2018 Janther week that's already finished, and while that happens I'm in the process of finishing this fic! I have made many promises and clearly have a very bad follow through rate, but I can still promise that I'll finish this thing if it goddamn kills me.

Adventure Time: (6/22/21) On hiatus but actually i am rewriting this whole thing and I think i might like it enough to finish it now.

Teen Titans: On Hiatus but ehh we'll see.
