#Fanfiction recs

[fanfictionaddictee]

Adrien's my favorite character in miraculous, and though I'm not big on woobie whump I do love me an angsty dark fic. Ugh, I've misplaced so many of my Sadrien bookmarks, but here are some of my angsty favorites, organized by wordcount (meaning ships, AUs, Canon Divergence, and most importantly, RATINGS are NOT TAGGED in this post). I'm a slut for AUs, Canon Divergence, and horror, and I've tried to avoid saltfic and freakfic since this is a reblog lol.

There are two fics in particular I wanted to add to this list but cannot seem to locate.

One of them was an akumatized!Adrien fic where his akuma has doppelgangers of himself based off his emotions (read between 2016-2018).

The other was a post season 5 fic where Adrien is basically struggling with keeping up the mask of mourning now that his father is dead and regarded a hero, because he is glad Gabriel is dead. (read within the last year.

a witch's familiar by metawohoo

In which a married businessman neglects his son and sleeps with his personal assistant.

One of the first Miraculous fics I ever read, before Gabriel was confirmed to be balls to the walls crazy. When he was like, neglectful abusive lite and we still got Adrien character-development in canon. T_T This story isn't explicitly Adrien-centric, but the angst is just *chefs kiss* impeccable. Nathalie and Gabriel are fucking awful in this fic and I am emotionally invested in seeing where this story goes.

Heroes of the day by metawohoo

Alya tries to reconnect with other Akuma victims, and discovers some lingering issues to the whole "supervillain" business. In the meantime, Marinette misplaces Tikki, and Adrien's relationship with his father grows tense.

An intensely plotty novel, but Adrien's subplot in this story is so well written, it exists in my head rent-free ten years later.

The Midnight Oil by Lyoko_Native

Adrien was kidnapped and held captive for ten years, enduring unimaginable torture. Through dumb luck, he finally manages to escape. But now, he has trouble adapting to a world he can't even remember.

This one is for the whump lovers. Do you graphic imagery of your woobies being tormented, then a slow, loving recovery, complete with happy ending featuring OTP? This is the fic for you.

Metamorphosis by artisticFlutter

Everything is normal - everything appears normal. However, humans are already evolving, already changing into beings no one has seen before with powers capable of defying the perception of reality. The few that have are hidden and the rest that can still walk around unaware, their powers lying dormant until they awaken naturally... ... or, because of one man's desire, are forcibly drawn out. Adrien Agreste, the son of Gabriel Agreste, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the daughter of Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng, become the victims of his intentions. Now the two teenagers must learn to cope with their new abilities, new powers, and deal with a world that has yet come to term with their existence. (Mutant!AU)

NoMiraculous!AU. Out and out horror, graphic imagery, delicious PTSD-scenes and angst. Love this.

what worse luck by GuardianKarenTerrier Series

He doesn't know what happens. One minute he's struggling against the leash spell, the next he's tripping on his own momentum as the magic suddenly snaps, as he tastes freedom for the first time in- in ever, probably. Adrien doesn't stop long enough to think about where he's going or why. He just bolts. (Marinette's spell goes wildly off-target, but it's a stroke of luck for everyone involved that it does).

This is one series I run to when it updates. Adrien is sad af, Marinette is more heroic than she is in canon, and I'm rooting so hard for them. Beautifully written, excellent world-building, and overall an engrossing read. Also recommend Seeking Shelters.

Adrien Needs Therapy by Talik_Sanis

Just a series of stories that typically end "badly" as I explore the multifaceted effects of Gabriel's abuse on Adrien's fractured psyche.

Initially, I started out only recommending A Man of Action (Figures), but then I figured I should just recommend the series as a whole here, which is why it's in this category. One of the best, multifaceted, complex characterization of Adrien I've found on the internet. A favorite of mine. Talik-Sanis is an amazing author I found through their MAWS fics, if you like other sad bishi boys. ^_^

Treachery by Lynse (ao3 members only)

Hawk Moth--Gabriel Agreste--knows his son is Chat Noir, so he gives Chat Noir an ultimatum he's sure Adrien can't refuse.

Lynse is an angst queen. I stan her across multiple fandoms. This is my favorite miraculous fic from her!

Muddled by lethargicshadowlover (orphan_account) ABANDONED FIC

It was thought by the time she turned twenty Marinette Dupain-Cheng would have her life in order, her heart locked in a safe place, and her dreams well on their way to being achieved. See, University was great and all, but it didn't provide help and answers to how these things were possible. But her salvation did come, in a friendship she didn't think would be possible with the man she'd swooned over through her teenage years. Still, even with Adrien Agreste at her side in more ways than she could've hoped, one issue remains to break the foundations she'd worked to build, and, that issue came in the form of Chat Noir. But Ladybug, too, must take the blame for so many mistakes as the two of them find themselves confusing each others lives unknowingly. (Originally by lethargicshadowlover / notquitejiraiya, but abandoned. I’m very sorry.)

This is saaad. Enjoyable read, but saad.

What Makes a Monster by wackus_bonkus

An Akumatized victim steals Gabriel Agreste's wedding band. When Shadow Moth turns up, desperate to obtain the ring, Ladybug and Chat Noir decide to Cataclysm it.

Ooh, I wish this would happen in canon. It won't, but I wish it would.

i'm yours to keep by 0_Snow_Light_0

Adrien meets Plagg when he was a child. This changes everything and yet nothing at all.

Shortened because whyyyy are ao3 summaries 10 million words. Anyway, this is a WIP I'm currently enjoying. Weird, intense, and the prose is so purple it's violet but I am invested and enjoying every update!

My Body is a Cage by TrishaCollins

Five Years Ago, Hawkmoth made a wish and disappeared. It should have been the end of the story, but for Adrien, it was anything but. Bound by his Amok at the side of a wife he hates, Adrien struggles to survive in a world that wants to eat him alive.

OOOH the whump is whumping here. Adrien suffers and suffers, questioning literally everything but his love for his daughter. The part of this I enjoy the most is probably the fact that though he questions everything, and the narrative is disassociated in a lot of parts, there's no point where he questions if his feelings for his child are real. Very raw reactions, not just a happy ever after, and a wonderful build that literally gave me canon amnesia it was so good.

Persona by Windschild8178 Series Link

Adrian Agreste: Perfection. The tabloids had been grossly misled. Gerard snorted, tossing the paper aside. Adrian Agreste was the farthest thing from angelic. In fact, he was a mischievous, troublemaking, escape artist who periodically gave him heart attacks because of the shit the little imp pulled. Gerard knew better. He knew who the real Adrian Agreste was and he’d watched the two powerful Agreste’s systematically destroy that person for what they wanted in a son rather than what they had. The worst part was… Gerard had been a part of creating that persona.

Every time I work on my crossover, and I need a reference for Baby!Adrien, this is a fic I find myself returning to. This fic just so excellently explores the depth of character that was hinted at in earlier seasons, from an outsider POV. Love love love love this fic. If there was one Sadrien fic that I would consider a must read on this list, it's probably this one.

Senti!Cat Adrien by Anonymous

Emilie and Gabriel deside that they do not have the time for a child, but the sentibeing is almost already created. Despite being a cat, Adrien - their creation of love - still has traits of a human. This changes some parts, but others remain the same. What is a senticat to do?

I feel like a fraud including so many senti!Adrien fics because goddamn do I hate that plot twist, but this fic is so good. Well written, fast-paced, angsty, and unique~

What Makes a Family By justpeachie

AU: Bridgette and Félix's life is turned upside down with twelve-year-old Adrien is placed in their care. The foster parents find themselves falling in love, however, and together the three learn how to become a family.

A proper woobie kid!fic, completely jossed in every single way by canon but still a comforting feel-bad-then-good read.

5k-10k words

i'm a liar in a way that's uniquely my own by deathrae (ao3 users only!)

"All the world's a stage," he purred. "I'm just the only one who can see it." It shouldn't have been possible for Hawk Moth to take Adrien. But then, they dealt with impossible things every day.

I love Akumatized!Adrien fics that aren't Chat Blanc. I think canon has shown that the effects the Miraculous have on people differ when they are transformed vs. not (ex: Sandboy) and after S4 it's like never explored in fic anymore, so this is a fav of mine.

the monster who loves you by PurpleCatGhost

Mum nods, clapping her hands together. “Your brother is finally feeling better and is coming home today! Isn’t that so exciting?” Félix pauses mid-bite, processing her words. Mum waits expectantly, as if expecting him to jump for joy, or his equivalent of it. But… Félix doesn’t have a brother. (Or Félix’s brother is a monster, but only in the most literal sense. Félix’s father is a monster despite being very, very human. He learns to navigate the world through these two truths.)

Technically more Felix!Angst, but even Scarydrien is sad af in this jawn. Creepy, tender, sad, and sweet, a perfect balance of atmospheric angsty horror and some of the best paced writing on this rec-list.

Lift it high on your shoulders by NinaDove

“… drien. Adrien.” The syllables are meaningless, but the voice isn’t. “It’s alright. You’re safe.” ‘Safe’ is a lie, a trap, a tag on a leash; ‘safe’ isn’t something it can be. The creature leaps back, bares its teeth — — and finds its brother, kneeling at its feet.

It's incredibly difficult to completely tell a story that packs and emotional punch in so few words. I think it's harder than writing hundreds of thousands of words. NinaDove is a master of this, and I recommend everything else they write too! This one in particular is my favorite.

Simulacrum AU by @naptillmorning

A short little comic based on the idea of Adrien being akumatized! Sometimes you just gotta put some faith in your partner, even if that partner is currently being possessed by an evil butterfly enthusiast and wants to stab you with a magic sword. 

There are a dearth of fics inspired by this comic-- I'm still looking for my favorite one lol, so I couldn't possibly not include this OG that inspired them all! Beautiful art. :D

Lay Your Weary Head to Rest by MiniMinou

Felix has always known that there will be another Chat Noir to claim the power he cast off. He just didn't expect it to be a child. A stupidly adorable child in desperate need of someone looking out for him. But that's not Felix's problem. He doesn't care. At all. Mentor AU

MiniMinou is a beast of a writer. I love all of her miraculous fics, especially Iron-Kissed, From the Ashes and this story. Utterly jossed by canon, but man fuck Astruc anyway XD. Her characterzation of Adrien really shines here. He's clever, gentle, and somewhat shy while still being 100% capable of manipulation, overconfidence and jealousy. She writes Adrien so wonderfully multi-faceted. Heartbroken Felix is absolutely a delight. 10000/10.

Ways of Grieving by GalahadWilder

When Nathalie dies, Adrien feels nothing. When Gabriel kills himself days later, Adrien shatters. Why can't he grieve Nathalie? Why can't he stop grieving over a man he hates? Why does he deserve his tears, his mourning, more than she does?

Hmm, I love grief fics. I remember a while ago in this fandon (c. 2016-2018) a lot of grief fics where they killed off Papillon kind of hesitated around exploring how complex mourning an abuser can be. This story pulls no punches.

Less than four more weeks until Sadrien week...

As we prepare to torture Adrien further, I want to know: WHAT ARE YOUR FAVE ADRIEN ANGST FICS?!

reblog, reply, send an ask, whatever you prefer!

Nightwing Joins the Justice League Fic Recs

Since I've recently become obsessed with the "Nightwing joins the justice league and no one knows he's related to Batman" plot, here is every single one I've read and enjoyed

Batting in the Wings by Jedi_Olympian

| 1/1 | 10,638 | Teen and Up | BirdFlash |

Love is an amazing thing, so when the Justice League believes that their resident paranoid isolationist has found it, they’re happy for him, even if Wally was hardcore crushing on the lover boy.

Or another Justice League thinks Batman and Nightwing are dating.

Come home, the kids miss you by andromarche

| 6/6 | 14,427 | Teen and Up | Multiple ships |

"Well, you've obviously developed better taste since your thing with Batman," Barry said with a laugh.

Nightwing tensed, and paused, "Since my what?"

"Sorry, was it meant to be a secret?" Hal said apologetically, "We all know that you and Batman were like, a thing, at least at some point."

Or

Nightwing joins the Justice League and through a series of misunderstandings, the League jumps to conclusions about his relationship with Batman. Their conclusion: Batman and Nightwing are divorced.

(Tagged teen for swearing and some very light making out)

Cryptids in the Watchtower by Grammar_Beane

| 4/4 | 6,202 | Teen & Up | No ships

The kid glared at Batman with folded arms. Batman glared back in the same position. It was like a mirror, if the mirror de-aged someone several years. Something suddenly clicked in Hal's brain, and before he could stop himself he blurted out, "Oh my God, is that your son?!"

- or -

Batman's identity was a closely guarded secret, and the details of his personal life were even more so. Unfortunately for the Justice League, when a surprise video call raises countless questions about Batman's freaky, spooky, way-too-many and way-too-young associates, getting answers is about as simple and pleasant as pulling teeth.

- or -

the Batfam meets the Justice League and Nightwing juggles monkey wrenches in the background

You didn’t know? By heytheresunshine

| 1/1 | 2,522 | General | Minor BirdFlash |

Nightwing joins the Justice League, and the team learns something new about their resident Bat.

The One Where the Justice League Almost Didn’t Figure it Out By batsandthebirds

| 8/8 | 16,293 | Teen & Up | No ships

“I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”

Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”

All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”

...

Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.

Based on this post that I initally wrote on my Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/bats-and-the-birds/749291233997963264/there-are-a-lot-of-fics-about-the-justice-league?source=share

Nightwing Nominated By Cruz1702

| 1/1 | 1,967 | General | No ships |

Batman looked around the room, “Anyone else we'd like to review before we decide the new leaguers?”

“yes" said Flash, "I nominate Nightwing”.

Hal scoffed as he put his feet on the table "yeah sure, and I nominate the tooth fairy"

Or, the one where the JL doesn't know about the batfamily, but have heard rumours of a vigilante in Bludhaven.

In Love With Justice By Jedi_Olympian

| 1/1 | 9,819 | Teen & Up | SuperBat & BirdFlash

Batman is notorious for his secretive ways, so when the Justice League meets someone he associates with, they naturally have questions. The questions continue to pile up when it’s clear that Batman is rather. . . close to him.

Or the Justice League thinks Batman and Nightwing are dating.

I'm back to reading Sam/Dean fics again and I gotta say my favourite ship in the fandom is Sam Winchester/apocalyptic Dean even though it's not something a lot of people have written about.

Endverse Dean knows what it's like to live (if you can call it living) in a world without Sammy and has gotten the time to realize and regret all the mistakes he made with Sam.

All the things he said/did and can't take back.

And then he time-travels to season 5 and gets to make everything right again with Sam, even though his past-alternate self keeps fucking everything up.

Clingy Dean who had to live without his soulmate for years/clingy sam who thinks his brother hates him makes for the perfect hurt/comfort fic, honestly.

Meanwhile, you've got Dean from the original timeline being jealous (because hey, that's his Sammy!) and not understanding how his other self is so open about his love for Sam.

Endverse Dean probably regrets turning down all the chick flick moments from before and regrets not having held Sam when he still had the chance... now that he finally has his little brother back? He's going to do everything right this time. Even if this Sammy already has a Dean, even if quitting hunting is what makes Sam happy.

Endverse Dean watching his alternate self still having a little brother and neglecting him:

24 Steddie favourites of 2024

*sighs* Well, it only took me about a week to finalise this list (I'd hoped to have it ready by New Year's Eve, but here we are). To be fair, I had to go through my entire 2024 history on AO3, and I've read more Steddie fics this past year than ever before (escapism/coping mechanism and all that *cue nervous laughter*). Some of these are newer fics, some are older, some are fandom staples that I only just got around to reading in 2024 (and, listen, if you're gonna come for me with "BuT WhAT WeRe YoU dOiNg iN 2022 AnD 2023", the answer is... mind yer damn business). Oh, and I've decided to sort these alphabetically because actually having to rank them would be like asking a parent to choose their favourite child... impossible.

So, without further ado, here's the list of my top 24 fics of 2024 (only COMPLETED works btw):

"The A is for Ally" by sleepingoffyourdemons

Among the Wildflowers by ParadimeShifts

call me curious by ghosttotheparty

call my bluff when I roll the dice by gayjinkies

Desperado (You better let somebody love you) by ParadimeShifts

Lovesick in Loch Nora by red0aktree

Petals in a Storm by inairbinad

Roommate Wanted by Lihhelsing, tinkerbclla

seeing daylight by Ayes, itskleo

start by pulling him out of the fire by pricklywhicket

Skull Rock Era by chattrekisses

Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jayce/Viktor (League of Legends), Jayce & Viktor (League of Legends) Characters: Jayce (League of Legends), Viktor (League of Legends) Additional Tags: Angst, Post-Canon, Jayce Has PTSD (League of Legends), Viktor Is Losing His Shit (Still), Implied/Referenced Suicide, Comes Back Wrong, Angst with a Happy Ending, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Psychological Warfare, Against my readers, but also viktor and jayce, Codependency, Unhealthy Relationships Summary:

Jayce and Viktor are hurled out of the anomaly and dropped into the field where it all began. While it seems like the opportunity for a fresh start, Jayce's health rapidly begins to decline. In a desperate bid to save his partner, Viktor makes a series of shocking discoveries about Jayce's body and mental state... leading Viktor to believe that *his* Jayce is not what emerged from the Arcane with him.

Jayce, meanwhile, begins to wonder if he even is himself anymore.

[summary updated as of 1/4/25 - same old capgras, but now i know what the plot is lol]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS

It’s literally the best portrayal of the unhealthy codependency both of them got going on, as well as a portrayal of their expertise at Avoiding Talking Things Out

Jayce is so so traumatized here y’all, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more. Viktor as well struggles a lot with guilt and self-hatred and his inability to die (bc ofc he’s suicidal). See how they both cope by ignoring their issues and trying to obsessively focus on the other. I am so ill from reading this and i need to share

[yolothh]

Heaven knows I need me a jayvik one shot with either a service top or bottom Jayce where neither him or Viktor are hugely mischaracterized, there's no ableism and Mel and Sky aren't there just to justify a display of jealousy from Viktor/Jayce.

Like tell me why I've tried reading some and either Viktor is just sarcastic and straight up cold to Jayce while homeboy is a total dog, or he is an uwu baby and not some 30 yr old guy who grew up in the swamps of Runterra and saw his fair share of shit while Jayce is on some kind of highschool sexy quarterback behaviour.

Batlantern Fic recs

A list of every single the Hal Jordan/Bruce Wayne Fics I have read and loved

(the description of all the series by RebeccaAnabelBurrows I did as most don't have any description with them)

Jealousy By theLiterator

| 1/1 | 2,462 | Teen & Up | Batlantern |

Written for the prompt: "Hal/Bruce - Jealousy" on tumblr.

Hal meets Damian Wayne and then they have ice cream.

Waiting for You By roseangel013

| 1/1 | 807 | Teen & Up | Batlantern |

Hal asks Bruce a question and he wants an answer.

you’re the same kind of bad as me By noctiphany

| 1/1 | 1,138 | Teen & Up | Batlantern |

DCU, Hal Jordan/Bruce Wayne, “I’m not dying without kissing you.”

(And then they don’t die. And It’s all quite awkward)

Shut Up and Kiss Me By OceanusAporia

| 1/1 | 1,675 | Not Rated | Batlantern |

This was just ridiculous – how fucking messed up was Bruce’s head? Because Hal had thought he had a pretty good idea of what bats where in that belfry after years of being teammates, friends, even and fucking around, but apparently he hadn’t even made it to the surface of things fucked up in Bruce Wayne’s mind.

Bruce and Hal attempt to have a discussion.

Tumblr Prompts By lindenwaverly

| 1/1 | 791 | General | Batlantern |

Posts from prompts I've gotten from tumblr

Off Kilter By kaijulicious

| 1/1 | 784 | General | Batlantern |

Hal's want list at the moment is really simple. Bruce's hand. Specifically he wants that hand in his. And honestly, what the fuck?

Mehr-o-Maah

rating: M

pairing: satosugu

summary: They’re cheek to cheek then, for a brief, endless moment, sunlight trapped between them, before Suguru laughs and shoves at Satoru’s shoulder, words carried away by the wind. They bicker, together, walking hand in hand along the shore. The sun in the background plays out like a movie reel, left on and forgotten, turns bright gold. Red. Fades to a soft pink. They sit together, shoulder to shoulder, on the sand, still hand in hand. When the sky turns a vivid purple with a weary sigh, they do not rise, still whispering among themselves, heads close together, one light, the other dark. A miniature sun and moon, coming together in an eclipse.

ATTACK ON TITAN

A Series of Open Correspondences; or, Rules and Regulations of the Special Operations Squad

rating: T

pairing: mix of platonic relationships

summary: It quickly became clear to Levi that his new Special Operations Squad could not be so loosely regarded as the last; there was a special sort of idiocy to them, a particular flavor of dumb-shit that needed a firm guiding hand to keep them from trampling the world underfoot. Thusly was the rule-board born.

YURI!!! ON ICE

Glory Is Two Steps Away

rating: T

pairing: mix but focussed on platonic yuuri & yuri

summary: Yuri Plisetsky and Yuuri Katsuki are about as different as cats and dogs, which is to say they have no reason of ever even being acquaintances. Through a stroke of luck, as well as a couple dozen cat pictures, a tight friendship blossoms instead. On their own each skater stands out just fine, but together they shine, pushing each other past previous limits and onto the golden road of victory. Of course, there is still the living legend to worry about, but he's currently too besotted to lace up his skates, so…

[fairydares]

"Tales of Fairies" by RicardianScholar Clark-Weasley is a FT fandom all-timer, of course, but some of the chapters in particular hold such a special place in my heart. Just a few off the top of my head, in no particular order:

the one where Reedus paints yaoi of Natsu and Gray to promote public interest in the guild lmfao

the one Team Natsu makes him pull the cart since he can't ride in it

the viking AU. idek if i like the Nalu or Jerza one better [part 1 (Nalu), Part 2 (Jerza)]

The War of the Roses AU, while not actually probably one of my top favorites, is objectively amazing (major character death warning for this one at the end) [Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, Part 6, part 7, part 8, Part 9 (really a prologue), part 10, part 11, part 12, part 13, part 14, part 15, End]

the AU where Natsu convinced Lucy to marry him before bringing her to Fairy Tail (the chapter about the aftermath of Natsu leaving is so good) [part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 (Edolas), Part 6 (aftermath of natsu leaving)]

the one where they all revert into children and Lucy's spirits & the remaining adults have to take care of them (Gildarts getting the chance to be his dad when she was a little girl is cathartic and sweet)

The Gangster AU (from the OP)

The one with the Pied Piper trying to kidnap the Fairy Tail kids and giving them back

The one that explores Laxus's and Mystogan's friendship

Nalu and Gruvia child's first kiss

Chapter where Fairy Tail found Future Lucy earlier in the GMG arc (some primo Nalu jealousy in this one 👌)

A deeper exploration of Natsu dimly remembering Wendy at the beginning of the Nirvana arc

Chapter where Natsu vanished with Mavis and Zeref (angsty but hopeful/happy conclusion)

hmm there's definitely more but i can't think of em now. also if i remember later maybe i'll come back to try to link the specific chapters

[imperatrice21]

any Megumi & Toji bonding fics either where he doesn't die or Megumi finds him and basically a Toji redemption arc with Megumi

[allastoredeer]

Hello I got some bottom!Alastor fics l’d like to recommend to u!!!

“Written in Scripture by PitFTW” this is actually a series divided in 4 parts. The first two parts are about Charlie turning into a porcelain doll with no warning as a result of a destiny written in Scripture by heaven. To get her back hell goes to war against heaven and that’s when Lucy decides to make a pact with Al, to give him more strength so they can fight side by side. I love the Constantly Battlefield flirting between the two, meanwhile they slaughter angels left and right, and half of hell thinks they are fucking lol…but they didn’t…yet

The 3 part is a Bottom!Lucifer, and the 4 part is Bottomo!Alastor which is my favourite. I don’t want to ruin all the fun so I am just gonna say that there is bluetooth vibrator involved in there eheh

“With a Coffee and a Caress by winterveritas” 4 times Lucifer touches Alastor and 1 time Alastor touches him back. This fic is so cute, and one of my fav scene was when Al’s shadow started filtring with Lucy by giving him flowers, and Al comes a moment too late, always offended by the sheer audacity of the thing lol

Nice bottom!Alastor at the end🫠

“A Terrible Beauty by ReminiscentBells” this series is not finished yet, and it has 3 part for now. The story starts when Al meets the devil in a radio camp, during the war and he hasn’t forgot him since. I love how it explore Alastor new born feelings towards Lucy and how sometimes he doesn’t feel to be enough for him, but Lucy is always there, patient and caring. A lot of bottom!Alastor and domestic fluff. Absolutely recommend this one🫶

OH HOO HOO! Twosouls, you really came in to feed me, huh? I am NOT complaining, these look delicious.

That Charlie porcelain doll one, especially 👀 the whole premise sounds so, so intriguing. I can handle a little top!Alastor (so long as it's done a certain way). I'm so excited to get into all of these! I've added them to my lists!

Thank you, thank you 🙏

[mr-dinosaurus]

Anyway, all that to say, NEW CHAPTER POSTED!!
