#A Classic Retold

[healerqueen]

Year So Far Book Asks: 1, 10, 11

1. Best book you have read in 2023 so far

I've read five 5-star books so far this year. Out of those five, three stand out as the best books of the year.

Chase the Legend by Hannah Kaye, an epic sci-fantasy retelling of Moby Dick. It's part of the series A Classic Retold, a multi-author series of standalone books by nine different authors. I was blown away by the incredible character arcs, epic adventure, and themes of healing, friendship, and found family.

Crack the Stone by Emily Golus, another book in the A Classic Retold Series. This one is a Les Miserables retelling that features an escaped goblin convict who adopts a human child. It captures the poignant themes of Les Mis in a short novel.

10. A book that made you happy

The View from Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg, which I talked about here. 11. Most beautiful book you have bought or received this year

That honor belongs to three books I requested for my birthday, including Chase the Legend by Hannah Kaye (mentioned above), Summon the Light by Tor Thibeaux (yet another book in the A Classic Retold series), and Rebel Wave by Tor Thibeaux (a favorite book that now has a paperback; it's an undersea dystopian adventure featuring great characters, submarines, and underwater cities). They are even more shiny and glorious in real life than they are in pictures. I have to share these beautiful covers.

In a move that may be surprising to people who know both it and me, I'm only now listening to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

[heretic-saint-taliesin]

I don't know how hot of a take this is exactly but I think the whole "story is a retelling of x classic" premise is super tired and overdone and lowkey kinda uncreative.

I know that most fiction is derivative and that nothing is truly original anymore. There's nothing wrong with being inspired by things you've read either. But the deliberate "I am retelling x story word for word with one feature (usually gender) changed" is so boring to me. And tbqh it doesn't really achieve anything either.

Retellings of classical mythology with female focus tend to drastically misinterpret the myths in order to force their perspectives through. The retelling of Lord of the Flies with girls is so infantilising and weird about how girls would behave in a crisis (just no. If you swapped private school boys for private school girls it would be just as bloody. trust me) and now everyone's genderbending the musketeers?

Firstly someone's already published it within the last couple of years. Second of all what does swapping the genders actually add to things? Why not just write your own female musketeer story that isnt retelling the Dumas works word for word?

If you love the classics (and clearly you do!) then encourage folks to read the originals and enjoy them just as much as you did!

For clarification im not talking fanfic here. Fanfic can do the hell it likes. I mean physically published fiction.

Why not tell your own story?

[residentevilvaldelobos]

Normally I don't do this, but I felt this was an important book. I have never read the original, but this book means so much to me. The way it is written is extremely validating and I seriously recommend it, especially if you are a trans man.

I'm going to let the summary speak for itself, it is written by a Latinx trans masculine author.

[c0rpsedemon]

y'know going from being madly obsessed with a steampunk storytelling cabaret band to being madly obsessed with a doll line's tie-ins meant to sell toys to children to being madly obsessed with a 2004 eroge visual novel which was never actually released in english might seem like a weird trajectory for my interests but tbh if you actually understand any of them like at all it makes perfect sense

Percival Everett || James

Booker Prize Shortlist 2024 James received raving reviews. The re-write of Huckleberry Finn was lauded for being ‘Gripping, painful, funny, horrifying, a multi-level entertainment, a consummate performance to the last.’ I can agree with many of these: I found the novel at times painful, funny and horrifying, I failed to find it gripping however. I agree that James contains many levels, I am not…

Hi there!! Do you like Pirates?! What about interesting characters and plot?! What about classic books told in the audio format?!?! Well I do too! I have started posting audio chapters for the Book "Treasure Island"!!

This classic adventure book by Robert Louis Stevenson has some of the best characterizations I have ever read and I am enthralled by how quick Billy Bones and Long John Silver come to life on these pages! I wanted to share chapter 1 with everyone to encourage them to go out and read this classic story or just keep listening along with me!

I hope you all enjoy and thank you all for the love and support!!

Happy International Lesbian Day! Here's some super brief book recs to celebrate

Books dealing with love, loss, longing and abandonment

This is How You Lose The Time War is a short but beautifully written epistolary novel between two agents on opposite sides of a time war as they slowly fall in love.

Our Wives Under the Sea is one of the most beautifully written debuts I've ever read about a woman whose wife comes home wrong after they thought she'd died at sea and how it feels to grieve the loss of someone who's still in your home.

Lucky Red is a western novel about a young girl working in a brothel who meets her first female gunslinger and falls head over heels for her, and the consequences that come with loving dangerous people.

Body horror galore

Camp Damascus is about a young woman living in a super conservative christian town built around the worlds most successful conversion camp and the horrors that are uncovered there when praying the gay away fails.

To Be Devoured is about a woman whose fascination with the local vultures turns into obsession and the urge to know what carrion tastes like overtakes her life and leads her down stranger and stranger paths.

Chlorine is about a girl whose entire life revolves around being a competitive swimmer, and how abuse, neglect, and obsession with being the best takes its toll on the young women caught up in these destructive cycles.

Flawed character studies

Big Swiss is about a woman who has a kitchen floor reset in her 40s, moves away and starts a new life as a transcriber for a sex therapist and becomes obsessed with one of his clients before inserting herself into this poor woman's life.

The Seep is a speculative sci-fi set in a future where there's been a quiet alien invasion that has given people the ability to make almost any changes to their own bodies and what that world feels like to someone who doesn't want to partake.

Milk Fed is about a woman in therapy who feels cut off from almost everything until she meets another woman who triggers in her a melding of sex, hunger, and religion and where that takes her. Huge trigger warnings for ED content. It gets tough, y'all.

Fantastical wlw books

Bitterthorn is an amalgamation of fairytales retold as a slow burn sapphic love story between a sad young girl from a cursed land and the evil witch who takes her as a companion in the latest of the generational sacrifices made to appease her.

All the Bad Apples may be set in contemporary Ireland but it is a fairytale following a young girl as she travels across the country looking for a sister she refuses to believe is dead and the people she meets along the way.

Gideon the Ninth needs no introduction on this site but for the sake of formatting - lesbian necromancers in space who find themselves in an isolated murder mystery plot. It's not a romance but it is a love story and this series will change your life if you let it.

Translated novels

Boulder is a short character study following a free spirited woman when she accidentally settles down with the woman she loves and how love and resentment can take up the same space in your chest when life doesn't turn out the way you hoped it would.

Notes of a Crocodile is a cult classic coming of age story about queer teens in Taipei in the 1980s. It was written in the 90s so please keep that in mind if you choose to read it.

Paradise Rot is about an international student studying in Australia and her growing obsession with her housemate as they share a space that allows no privacy. I've never read anything that feels stickier.

May Books

I didn't read as much in May as I did in April, but maybe that was because I tackled a classic novel. Reflections of One Army Nurse in World War II by Gladys Bonine - A short, easy to read memoir of an American Army nurse in England during World War II. The author writes in a way that is easy to connect with and often witty. She was very thorough in her descriptions of medical care and also of her travels and experiences, such as hospital life and contact with English culture. I love engaging memoirs and nursing history, and this one was very enjoyable to me. Crack the Stone by Emily Golus (part of the multi-author series A Classic Retold) - I loved it. It's an epic fantasy retelling of Les Miserables, with a goblin as the escaped convict main character who helps a human child. It's set in Emily Golus's lively portal fantasy world, Vindor. I loved exploring the vivid, unique world further, and the characters and themes were very compelling. I highly recommend this book and the other books in the A Classic Retold series, as well as Emily Golus's other books, beginning with Escape to Vindor. Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell - Currently taking a break from this one, but I made it through one-third of the 600 pages without much trouble. I've dreamed of reading this book for years, since the film miniseries is my favorite and very special to me. My reading brain is finally working again, and reading Wives and Daughters has been a wonderful experience. I'm noticing all sorts of details about the main characters, characterization, witty commentary, themes, and what everyone is thinking and feeling. Magic or Not? by Edward Eager - Funnily enough, I'd never read an Edward Eager book until we did this one for book club in May. I enjoyed it. It definitely reminded me of some of the children's classics I grew up on, only with a brand of whimsical and lively that is unique to this book and author.

TRUTH OR DARE?

（𝒯ruth or dare?）⨳ model jake x actress fem. reader, 𝑓eat. danielle﹙nwjs﹚ . . . e2l ✶ you both want each other but won't admit it.

（𝓘s it true you care?）⨳ 𝓛iAS NOTE ﹕I LOVE LEE WONJUNG 😍😍😁😁 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄 . . . 𝒯ruth or dare?

An actress was supposed to find herself in the most exquisite parties, expensive bars and luxury brand after shows. Not at some high school reunion party which happened to be a frat party which your ex-boyfriend had happened to be attending. As if you weren’t expecting him to be there, you accepted your friends’ stupid invite, regretting it immediately upon the sight of him.

Sim Jaeyun, the frat boy before, the model now. He hadn’t changed at all. His lips, his eyes, his boyish grin. The only thing that had changed, was the fact that he wasn’t your boyfriend anymore. A cruel summer in Australia happened to be the way he decided to break up with you. After a walk at the beach on a hot evening where the sun seemed to hesitate to set, he suddenly confessed that he was going back, not telling you where he was going, leaving you to find out months after, when his face was all over adverts.

You watched his face as he retold a story about him catching a fish to a woman next to him. The one he once used to tell you so often when you teased him about his inability to catch one. A hand tugging your arm pulled you out of your daze. “Still remember him, I guess.” Danielle, the friend who invited you to the party, remarked as a perfect grin coloured her face. You smiled, pulling her into a quick hug before defending yourself against her thoughts which were clearly written all over her face. “Deny it all you want.” She teased, putting an arm around your shoulder and summoning the attention of the attendants. “Let’s play truth or dare.” She suggested, pulling you down to sit beside her as the rest fell into their places. You watched Jake sit directly in front of you, cursing under your breath as your eyes met momentarily, his gaze averting to the ground. Forcing down a scoff, you watched your friend begin, spinning an empty bottle and asking the person it landed on, ‘Truth or dare?’.

You knew this game very well as it was how the two of you — and Jake, met at a party. It also happened to be the way he confessed, which made it a memory inducing game that you had grown to despise.

“Dare.” Was his bold reply, sparking childish reactions from his acquaintances. The booze was probably getting to their heads, you thought, knowing how common this was at reunions. “I dare you to kiss the person you find most attractive.” Classic Danielle move. What was unexpected was the boy going straight to your friend and placing a wet peck on her lips. He sheepishly walked back to his spot, leaving your friend in disbelief, handing the bottle to someone else.

The game continued like that, a few childish reactions, some kissing and secrets being exposed. It was handed to you after a few turns, resulting in your heartbeat quickening as you stole a glance and Jake. Praying that fate was on your side, you spun the bottle, hoping that it would land on anyone but him.

It spun dangerously slow as the members of the party watched in anticipation, fueled by secrets. You glanced at the woman besides Jake and the boy on his left— which you had now classified as ‘the one who crushes on Danielle’— and prayed it would land on either one of them. The bottle hesitated on the three of them before finally landing on Jake. A fit of unsettled reactions stirred beside you. “Truth or dare?” You asked, forcing your gaze to meet his.

“Dare.” Classic Jake, you thought, before tugging the corners of your mouth into your stage smile. “I dare you to whisper something in the prettiest girl in the room’s ear.” You knew it was childish, but this was your one chance to see how he felt. He bit back a smile, recalling how the question got him to confess before and stood up. He faked moving to girls who were more than willing to hear what he had to say as he finally made his move to you, who was crossing your fingers secretly in hopes that you would simply be ignored. You felt a presence loom over you as he leaned down to your ear, his lips grazing it softly. “Missed me, pretty girl?”

You shot him a look as he pulled back, that familiar boyish grin marking his face. The party came to a standstill as the eager onlookers waited for any sort of action worth reacting for. A smile tugged at the corners of your mouth as you laid your hands on the sides of his head, pulling his face towards you, inching closer to his lips. You barely grazed them before you moved to his ear. “Not at all.” You replied, your smile deepening into a grin as he reciprocated your action noticing the lie seething through your teeth, motioning back to his spot.

“Let’s do seven minutes in heaven as our last game.” Danielle announced, sensing the tension. Complaints about the time distracted you from the misery knocking at your door. You downed more alcohol the more your turn got closer as if it would make it go away. Eventually, the bottle was handed for you to spin as your hopes of getting a random person depleted as you watched the bottle land you with Jake for the second time.

Seven minutes of awkwardness with your ex can’t be that bad, you thought, trying to soothe your running head. Danielle slipped the spare key into your pocket and shot her signature grin before closing the door.

Turning back to your ex, you watched his grin broaden as he stepped forward, decreasing the space between the two of you. Unconsciously, you took a step back, the pattern falling into place as your back finally met the door. His arm rested over your head as the other snaked around your waist. Your breath hitched as he stopped just in front of your lips. “Can I?” After a spiraling train of thoughts, your body acted before your brain could comprehend as you pressed your lips against his. The force of it took him off guard, but he recovered, reclaiming his possession over the kiss. The kiss deepened as his hand moved to your neck, pulling you closer to him. You could hear the party commence, realizing that this entire reunion was another one of Danielle’s schemes to get you and Jake back together. After all, you three had been the best of friends until he broke up with you.

His lips trailed down your jawline and reached your neck, pushing away the fabric on it, leaving kisses all over. His fingers pressed into your pocket, pulling out the key and locking the door behind you. You pulled back, panting heavily from the lack of air. He moved to press a kiss on your neck, unbuttoning the first few buttons as he did so. “You don’t want to?” He murmured into your neck, his soft lips tickling your collarbone as they hovered over it.

“No.” You voiced, falling prey to his mouth which caused you to reveal your real feelings. “Are you sure?” A smirk coated his lips knowing how bad of a liar you were as his gaze burned into yours. “No.” It was an impossible mission to hate him.

[boxofthings]

got any roach-centric fic recs? like idc the pairing, ghostroach/soaproach/ghostsoaporach any thats roach focused plzz

*cracks knuckles* I GOTCHU ANON this is my time to shine

If anyone wants to reply with their own pls do!

(These are in no particular order)

GhostRoach:

i left my heart in the mountains (right next to yours)

I'm going to want you 'til the stars evaporate

and here i stand (in the dirt with you)

These are all by Santihan and ugghh these were the fics that pulled me back from my near decade-long ghostroach obsession sabbatical. Well-written, emotional, they are amazing, my favs, I will rec these til I die (the first two are painful :'))

Things That Burn by abel_obel

Such a good one, I always go back to this when I'm in a ghostroach mood. Good ol' classic person A gets injured and person B freaks out

Roach Wouldn't Really Do It...

Exhaustion's a Funny Thing

Both by tinyduckies! Def read the TWs for the first one, but arghhh, I go back to these ones a lot!. I really like how the first one's more realistic/gritty when it comes to the aftermath of surviving Loose Ends

Second one's just a lovely depiction of Ghost and Roach's dynamic. Loved the banter and the second chapter ends real sweetly :)

The Barracks: Part 2

Ulterior Motives

Both by doberman, these two are much longer fics (which ghostroach is in desperate need of) and are such interesting reads!!

The first one is an AU that takes place in a pub with Ghost being his repressed, unhealthy self, and Roach coming in as the new co-worker to sweep him off his feet lol

The second one is ongoing and takes place slightly after MWII with Ghost meeting Roach outside of deployment

Sovereign by Applescone

God, this one really puts me in an introspective mood. It's so well-written and just feels so grounded and human. Takes place years after Loose Ends, with Ghost and Roach rekindling their relationship whilst dealing with the complications of Shepherd's betrayal and death

我给你早在你出生前多年的一个傍晚看到的一朵黄玫瑰的记忆 by Alex_Upshur

Ok I know this is in Chinese, but just use a translator like I did and yeah, while it won't be as accurate as the author wrote it, it's still a really lovely fic and i adore it :') A lil bittersweet look into the 141's lives and sweet moments with Ghost and Roach <3

Of Doubts and Dreams (Retold)

The Hook Up

All written by Call_Of_Booty, an og ghostroach author from wayyy back during the og trilogy (and ff.net) days. The first one's a rewrite of one of their old fics and it focuses on Roach and Ghost's dynamic up until the night before Loose Ends.

Second one's about Roach deciding to leave the SAS whilst he and Ghost have complicated feelings for eachother due to past hookups. Both great reads!

Distance Makes the Heart Pissed Off by krwaken

I'm sure every GhostRoach shipper knows this one lol. A lovely 200k word slowburn of these two <3

Fear & Delight by EpiKatt

Hornet's Nest with more GhostRoach :))

Tell Me Why This Has to End by Feral_Raccoon

ANGST :( Post-Loose Ends. Ending broke me haha

and you wrote your name / right there next to mine by cheese_n_crack

more Loose Ends angst :( A bittersweet ending with Ghost and Roach looking at the stars in their final moments

You'll Get Sick Anyways by ghostslefttit

Very short, but very cute lil fic with Ghost taking care of a sick Roach :))

If We Crash (I Hope We Do) by mintyiecat

Man I can't even begin to describe how much I love this one. Portrays Ghost and Roach's relationship post-loose ends where Roach is now a civilian. Loved how the author depicted their relationship as not flawless. Felt very human and raw. Very sweet ending :)

GhostSoapRoach

Something in the Orange by fixfoxnox

Y'all been knew this would be on here lol

Follows Roach's pov where he's been reincarnated into the reboot timeline with all his memories from his old life and him trying to make his way back to Ghost. This one makes me sad as hell. Has all the feels :')

Something in the Orange by insomniamemoirs & RandomWordsAndStormyDays

Funny how my top two GSR fics are named the same thing, but hey, they're both amazing. I was apprehensive because of the "calling Soap Roach by accident" trope, however they really diverted my expectations and made these three really feel like equals in a relationship. Really love how they made sure to establish a strong dynamic between Soap and Roach instead of pitting them against each other. And Roach isn't just some 2D character here, he's very nuanced and I love it!

Freezing Waters by AmphibianEft

Sweet fic of Roach getting injured and Soap and Ghost freaking out and taking care of him

Stress Relief by Anonymous

Just Soap and Ghost taking care of Roach after Hornet's Nest (smut) :)

SoapRoach

Leg Day by tinyduckies

Good ol' smut lol (09 soaproach mm)

Everything That Isn't Said by pajamabees

More 09 smut

Taste by fixfoxnox

Just 3.5k words of Roach wanting to kiss his captain :)

fall for me by punishervest

Just a sweet moment between 09 Soap and Roach with Soap reminiscing on his past with Price but also considering how he wants something more with Roach <3

She (Means Everything To Me) by mylareading

Just 1.9k words of Soap being down bad for Roach (super sweet)

Roanig (Roach x Konig)

I Really Like The Way You Stare At Me by turqu0ise

The fic that introduced me to roanig <3 Just a cute fic focusing on the development of their relationship

Subatomic by tinyduckies

Another nice fic focused on the development of their relationship. Loved the interactions they had in this :)

These are the ones I have so far! I'm sure later on I can add to the list, and if anyone wants to reply with their own feel free :)

I've also been made aware there are Keegan/Roach fics, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet, but def check out their tag anon! Hope this was an adequate rec list haha

Top 5 tam lin

YEah ok i totally didn't open this and then forget about it. These aren't ranked but they are true

Medieaval Baebes Tam Lin. I particularly like the nature sounds in the background. Creepy. Wet.

The Forgetmenauts Tam Lin. This one is a really cool modernization, and it's interesting to have it sung by a man (for these five minutes at least he is gay). Goes more into the prior relationship between the narrator and Tam Lin.

The Biscuits Tam Lin. Lo-fi punk, traditional Child 39a lyrics. Two tastes that taste great together. Wild. Crunchy.

Alistair Hulett's Tam Lin. This is how it's supposed to sound. sorry to haters who do not have ten minutes to shut up and hear a story.

Anais Mitchell's Tam Lin (Child 39). A classic. This is the version where I first worked out that Janet is a badass. Mesmerizing. Dry.

Honorable mention to best interpretation: The Imagined Village's Tam Lyn Retold. This fucking rules idk what to tell you

[creatively-cosmic]

i wanted to draw something different today soooo. i went n scrounged up a buncha pokepastas that ive read/pokepasta ocs ive seen around recently (mostly via mutuals)! ill tag creators and link sources under the cut, and ramble a little abt my thoughts... ^^

if anyone wants me to untag or remove their stuff from this btw let me know i didnt ask i kinda just. started doodling.

also half of yall i either never followed or only Just did i need 2 remedy that. ive been observing yalls stuff from a distance i keep forgetting to Press the Fucking Button is all

Your Friend Silver (Elias) by @uuberwachen ! this was such an INSANELYYY well written story and it stuck with me for DAYS. it really slots in the space in my mind that holds the classics and the twists and stuff with it genuinely got me. i cant recommend it enough if anyone who sees it hasnt read it yet. i got so excited when i saw a dedicated ask blog went up. i wish i werent scared of sending in questions to those things

Pixel Blue: 3DS VIRTUAL CONSOLE (2016) by @calybunz ! ahhh this was such a cool one to read! id see updates on it incidentally n i can tell a lot of work went into it- it was definitely worth it! its well written with a lot of heart.. maybe im just a sucker for stories that focus on a sympathetic blue.. the ending made me so SAD dude what the fuck. though my favorite parts were probably the dream sequences- godd the imagery of it all was fantastic!

Nuzlight (Mia) at @nuzlight-mia ! this is one i dont know much about yet, but her personality and design really captivated me when i first saw her! she seems like such a sweetheart and i look forward to getting to see more of her :3 i feel so bad for her situation.. the story n concept are all so interesting!

Missing Numbers (Green) at @themissingnumbers ... is our thing but green is hells (@hells1nfern0 ) dude that i have no sway in so. whatever. im unwell about him im excited for more to be revealed abt him :] i cant really say more than that since i know his secrets

FIRE RED FREE DOWNLOAD (Infected/Abandoned RED) by @aibouart ... another one i saw the design of first and was just IMMEDIATELY struck by. i love when stories twist in-universe things that're generally treated as normal and mundane and use its horror potential! a parasect parasite outbreak where the protagonist gets infected by that and ends up full of mushrooms...? thats the kinda shit i love to see >:)

Jack by @sparklingdemon ! cool ass design ive been wanting to draw and a cool concept to go with- the creepyblack protagonist as a grinning-reaper type where the ghost is an extension of him rules. i also loveee when designs utilize the fossil missingno stuff!! kabutops's arms lend themselves REALLY well to being a scythe

Glitchy Red: Retold by @lycankeyy / @glitchyred (idk which blog youd rather have tagged sorry). so i saw this when the official ao3 repost went up or got mentioned or something and it. really. resonated with me. like its hard to put my thoughts into coherent words, other than i had to just. Lay Down for the rest of the night after reading it and just feel whatever emotions struck me. it cut really deep but honestly- that's just fantastic. it's not often that i read something that makes me feel as viscerally as this rewrite did, and i have nothing but adoration for it because of that (we do have the plural bias which doesnt help regarding this lol). in my mind this is the definitive version of glitchy red.

Sanctuary AU (Aster) by @possiblyfunny . ANYWAYS ON A LIGHTER NOTE i fucking love aster more than i can put into words. given we get tagged in almost every piece of him that goes up its always such a delight to see and learn more about him! id been planning to draw him for months at this point but only just got around to it haha -v-" i look forward to seeing more abt the sanctuary au! please continue to tag me in those posts idc if it includes my guys or not i just care so much abt it
