Featured Fic #3: My Favorite Ghost

Today's featured fic is "My Favorite Ghost" by @cassieoh and @diminished-fish

--------------------- Read on ao3 ----------------------

Heaven was dim. Not dark. Not dead or even dying, simply… different. Shadowy.

The sudden presence of shadows in a realm of pure light probably should have frightened him, but all he felt was bewildered. It was so strange. So absolutely mystifying. Shadows piled in the corners like soft blue gossamer, draped themselves across the corridors in shifting grey veils, cloaked entire chambers in hazy fog. It lent a quality to the atmosphere that was simultaneously cavernous and diminished — the subtle, impossible architecture of the place suddenly impossible to ignore.

He wished it frightened him. Fear was a far simpler state of mind than bewilderment. Fear inspired action, provided a goal and a direction. A purpose. Having none of these things, he wandered.

We encourage readers to engage with the fic as well. Comments are always appreciated, and we hope to foster a greater sense of interaction in the community.

Here are some ideas if you don't know where to begin:

What was your favorite moment? Was there a character, scene, or line that made you laugh? Smile? Cry? Did you connect with the author's style? Love the dialogue? The action?

Short comments are okay too! It's totally fine to just say that you liked the fic, to leave a keysmash of emotion, or even an emoji. Comments are always appreciated!

Summary:

“Most babies are born as accidents,” She says suddenly, like she’s decided that Buck has passed, that she can trust him with this. Buck doesn’t really have an answer because that question hits way to fucking close to home. A year or so ago he would have said, yes, I was an accident, so I know how that goes, but Buck knows better now. Knows that he would almost give anything for that answer to still be yes. Evie’s finger works under the seal to rip it open, a stack of important looking papers dumping out onto the table in front of her. “Not me,” she says without looking up as she organizes them into a neat stack, “I was engineered.” And. And Buck’s pretty fucking sure a giant, cataclysmic hole has ripped right open, dragging him down to the earth’s core where he vaporizes into dust. {or Buck meets another savior baby and everything comes crashing down}

fuck it friday!

happy friday, everyone! here's a little bit of the marriage of convenience au to celebrate <3 thanks for the tag @spotsandsocks! no-pressure tagging @playinginthunderstorms @kejfeblintz @unlifeira @serenelystrange @inell @smilingbuckley @team-118 @fruitsdontknow and @heygirltimeformorning!

“Married,” Margaret repeats, stunned. “No, that’s- how could you be married?”

“It was pretty easy, actually,” Eddie says. “Vows, paperwork, rings.”

“It’s a lot easier when your fiancé doesn’t have encephalitis,” Maddie agrees, laughter just a tinge hysterical.

“But you didn’t invite us,” Margaret sputters out. Somehow, she’s decided that this is the point she’s worried about. Privately, Buck is glad that it’s this and not the part where he’s a man married to another man, if not for his sake then for Eddie’s, for whom all of that is just a little more new, but that doesn’t make it less bizarre.

Even if they’d had more than a couple hours to prepare for their wedding, he wouldn’t have invited his parents.

“It was a last-minute thing,” Eddie says. “We didn’t invite anybody, really.”

“So your parents weren’t there either?” Phillip asks. Wow, they’re getting stuck on this parent thing.

“Eddie’s parents live in El Paso,” Buck cuts in, before Eddie can say something unhinged-but-true like my parents were a little busy holding my kid hostage several states away after he saw me and my dead wife together. “And, anyway, that’s not the point. He’s my husband, so he’s here with me.”

Fic Rec Friday - #65

Intro post | tag

Rec #65: tag (you're it) - razzephyr Fandom: Haikyuu!! Rating: M Pairings: Tsukishima Kei/Yamaguchi Tadashi, minor kagehina, minor akisae Word count: 35,930 (9 chapters) Summary (copied from fic): Tadashi's friendship with Tsukishima has always bordered on abnormal. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to him that the start of something more between them would be equally as unconventional. Other notes: if you liked this rec, you're gonna love this. otherwise, just read the tags (not mentioned is a bit of D/s undertones fyi)

Relationship: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Josh Russo

Characters: Evan "Buck" Buckley, Josh Russo, Maddie Buckley, Howie "Chimney" Han, Bobby Nash, Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Christopher Diaz (9-1-1 TV)

NOTE: since this is the first romantic relationship I am sharing that is not Buddie, I do want to remind you to read the tags, I know Buck/Josh isn't everyone's cup of tea (in future posts I won't put this disclaimer, though idk how many because I don't read a lot for this ship)

Summary:

After his world is turned on its head, Buck is left feeling open and exposed. Every single one of his raw emotions sit right at the surface, churned and mucked up until he doesn't know how to hide anything any more. Even things he's been hiding more than half his life.

With the man he's been slowly falling for since one fateful poker game over a year ago, just maybe, he doesn't have to.

A story of falling in love, one first at a time.
