game plan by @thehoyden

sidgeno (2013, explicit, 10.3k)

Unlike Nealsy, Evgeni can cook his own food when he has it. He’s perfectly capable of making breakfast. His kitchen is well-equipped, and he’s got some good basic cooking skills down. In short, he is not going to starve to death if left to his own devices. None of this seems to matter to Sid.

Sid opens the door off the garage with a spatula in one hand. He’s already wearing what Evgeni recognizes as Sid’s lying-around-the-house clothes, a t-shirt that’s thin and well-worn and a pair of plaid pajama pants with a hole in one hem. His hair is fluffy and a little wild in its ungelled state, making it look soft and sort of pettable.

Evgeni is halfway to — tangling his fingers in Sid’s hair? — before he drops his hand and then awkwardly covers it with hug, which starts off kind of weird because they’re not on the ice, and Sid is still holding a spatula and they’re both stupid with half a night of terrible sleep. But then Sid relaxes into it, and goes butter-soft pliant in Evgeni’s arms, and, well, if you can’t hug your captain and friend when he’s making you breakfast after a long road trip, when can you?

i love the idea of a comfort fic. i think we all have them, right? the fic or fics that we know we'll enjoy no matter what mood we're in, no matter what tropes or whatever we might be craving. the fic that can help you relax after a bad day enough to calm down. it's the perfect length—not so long that you lose an entire day (or more!) to it, but not so short that you finish the story before you had a chance to really get settled in.

this one is mine.

there's a certain charm to fics from 2013. the characterizations are by and large vastly different from current trends, and while not all of them are to my taste all the time, it's like entering a time machine and getting a glimpse back into a world where sid and geno had only won one cup, and the OG crew was still intact, and everyone was so young and had so much potential ahead of them still. the concussion years were also fresh, in a way that i think it might be hard for newer fans to understand and honestly for older fans to really remember, and that really comes through in a lot of stories.

and of course, no matter the plot, the trope, or the characterization choice, a brilliant author is a brilliant author, and i think we all know that @thehoyden is a brilliant author.

this fic is simply delightful. geno's clear fondness for sid shines through, and sid's returned feelings for geno take a bit longer to surface, but we as the audience realize them at the same pace that geno does, and it's really just lovely and comforting to immerse yourself in. sid's gentle pushiness about geno coming over to eat, the care with which he prepares their meals, and their physical comfort with each other—yum yum.

speaking of. this fic is gonna make you hungry. this fic is gonna make you want brunch. it will be something you think about until you're able to spend too much money on eggs benedict. i'm not sorry because this morsel is absolutely worth it.

read it here on ao3!

and please don't forget to leave a comment, on this and any fic you read to completion—comments make authors write more, and i personally love leaving them because i know i made someone's day! comments and kudos keep fandom alive :)

Derek seems to be spending all his off-duty hours with Stiles. Hours that include a whole lot of start-and-stop making out but zero orgasms, which is really making Stiles reconsider whether the Hales are a weirdo cult, after all. “I’m going to work on your jeep today,” Derek says against Stiles’ lips. “Oh god, please tell me that’s a euphemism,” Stiles says, and clutches more tightly at Derek’s shoulders.

Stiles is getting a little desperate (chp. 1)

fic rec! 20K Ineffable Husbands

Summary: Sometimes, a family is a demonic nanny, an angelic cook, and a kid who isn't actually the Antichrist.

Comments: Aziraphale and Crowley take full advantage of the 11 years raising Warlock, thinking it might be their last chance to indulge. And so they zoom through it, quickly moving from smiles in the kitchen to marriage to fuck the Great Plan because they've built quite a family and don't want to loose it.

There is smut in here, so be aware ace folks. But it's mostly fluff.

[polkadotdragonx]

I recently started looking into fanbinding and have become obsessed with designing covers for and having some of my all time favorite fanfics on my bookshelf. The first one I’m working on designing now is the amazing “With a Crown of Stars” by thehoyden who has given their permission for a fanbinding.

I’m still waiting on gathering materials to begin the actual printing and bookbinding process, but I had fun working on a cover design today! I think they turned out pretty great. I doubt the actual cover I make for the fanbinding will be quite as intricate — some will depending on what materials I end up using— but I’m pretty happy with how this design turned out regardless.

@thehoyden , thanks for writing such a great story and inspiring me to draw!

cherik fic recs

For Revive Cherik month, I've compiled a list of some of my favorite fics to share. I'll also be combining this with @justleaveacommentfest by commenting on all these lovely fics and you can too 😊 Read! Enjoy! Comment!

what a way to make a livin' by kaydeefalls @kaydeefalls Erik is a CEO who makes headlines like "MagneTech CEO and Prominent Mutant Separatist Erik Lehnsherr Vows To Kill All the Humans By 2025". Charles is his long-suffering PA.

The Last Love Song & Testament of Charles F. Xavier by midrashic @midrashic Getting fake married to avoid having to testify against your spouse for domestic terrorism is such a power move. Fantastic.

From Westminster With Love by thehoyden @thehoyden Charles is an irreplaceable British asset, Erik is a major working for NATO. They stop a mutant trafficking ring and fall in love. Extremely charming.

Lion Man by spqr @andthepeople Hockey coach Erik. Figure skater Charles. I love them so much.

Limited Release by rageprufrock @rageprufrock White Collar AU. I hadn't read this in a decade and my mind is a sieve but I immediately recalled the title and author to look it up. What higher compliment can I give?

Skin Deep by manic_intent @manic-intent The one where they're all werewolves 🐺

Omega Online by miss_aphelion @missaphelion I live for Erik and Charles being fully insane about each other and this is funny af. Also, EMMA!

[mothdogsart]

My fifth bind is complete! This is a collection of some of my absolute favorite short Good Omens fics (sub-20k words) which I sorted into rough thematic categories. This book features works by @thehoyden and @darcylindbergh (among others who I don’t think are on Tumblr) as well as a cover image graciously provided by @adealiz ��️

Technical details follow:

This was my first time working with this specific paper (which I cut to the correct grain direction! What a delight!) as well as my first time using hand-marbled endpaper (as opposed to printed scrapbook paper.) The endpaper was much thinner than what I’m used to, so I had a little unexpected glue moisture rippling.

I think I’ll be switching my fonts up going forward. I keep having issues getting Garamond to print consistently.

For the cover, I used a faux leather upholstery patch. I printed the cover image on printable vinyl and added some silver lettering stickers. It might not be the most durable/travelable thing ever, but it looks nice on the shelf.

I’m so happy to have this one done—the learning process never ends. I’m already typesetting my next two binds, another Good Omens fic and a Star Trek AU 😊

❗️These binds are not for sale. Authors and artists may inquire about gift copies.

mpreg fics that specifically, Charles is Pietro and Wanda dad with Erik. It's okay if he's the father of Lorna or David too.

but it's strangely hard to find fics where he's one of the dad of the twins.

Hi Anon,

Here are some mpreg fics where Wanda and Pietro are Cherik's bio kids; hope you enjoy!

Terrifying Domesticity by ishipitsobad

Erik is the most dangerous and notorious mafia boss around for miles, and yet the strangest things terrify him.

For example: his children, and his very pregnant mate.

Runs In The Family by Anonysquirrel (chibirisuchan) (First of a series)

Alex knew his own reputation. Hell, he'd started some of his own reputation, because it kept some of the smarter thugs off his back. Everyone knew Alex's reputation. There was no way Hank didn't know his reputation, but he'd brought Alex into a house with some really expensive things and a lot of innocent little kids and his too-friendly, too-harmless dad.

But clearly Hank hadn't told his family anything about Alex, just like he hadn't told Alex anything about his family. At least, not about the brain-breaking parts of his family.

"I didn't know where to start," Hank said, for the dozenth time.

I Can Honestly Admit I Never Expected That by swoopswoop

Erik didn't only leave Charles on the beach.

Tell Me the Question Again by emperors_girl

I’m not your Daddy, Erik thinks, but you are very cute.

Love Won't Save You by TurtleTotem

Guarding Charles has been Logan's purpose for over half his life. Now, with the twins to protect, an Empire to fight, and the love of Charles's life turned to the Dark Side, they have only each other to lean on. Can Logan ever be enough?

The Xavier-Lehnsherr Twins by orphan_account (part of a series)

Erik's and Charles's twins are born and David gets some siblings!

The Family Man by orphan_account (part of a series)

Erik lives a very lavish lifestyle that changes one night on Christmas Eve when he disarms a robber at a gas station.

The next morning, Erik wakes up with three kids, and he’s married to his college sweetheart, Charles.

What Not To Expect When You’re Not Expecting It by thehoyden

“I wasn’t hiding it from you. Honestly, I didn’t know for certain until yesterday, which I think we can agree was bad timing and not the sort of thing one springs before the heat of battle,” Charles says earnestly.

[quotablefanfiction]

“Oh my god, are we like — are we dating?” Derek makes a low noise of complete, utter frustration. “You haven’t even kissed me!” Stiles protests in an urgent whisper. Derek closes his eyes for a moment, and then says, “I’m going to take your statement, now. And when we’re not in my place of employment, I’m going to fix that.” “Really?” Stiles marvels. “I’m going to fix it a lot.”

Stiles is a bit oblivious (chp. 1)

Hi! I hope youre well, I need help finding this fic. Im pretty sure I found it on your page a while ago and for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere (maybe it got deleted??) basically Stiles was back home and Derek was working as a deputy and like something leaves a deer(dead animal?? Cant recall exactly what) at stiles doorstep and he calls derek. Stiles isnt aware that dereks a werewolf + a kinda steamy scene in the kitchen with derek leaving a big mark on stiles neck

Another thing I remember is that stiles says something along the lines of “we’re dating/together?? But we havent even gotten dinner/gone on a date yet??”

Hi anon! @nerdherderette says they think it's this one.
