Ficback Friday

📚 First Bookmark 🔖

Thank you all who replied to my Ao3 bookmark question! Many of you indicated that you use bookmarks for beloved stories to revisit or for fic recs, so I thought it would be fun to start a tag game:

Rules: Share (one of) your first Ao3 bookmark(s) then tag others to join!

I picked my first non-hunger Games bookmark (since I’ve talked about my first THG bookmark many times).

I love Jane Austen’s Emma and discovered cwmilton while looking for book/2009 miniseries Emma fanfiction. ‘A Very Good List’ was the first of theirs I discovered and it’s a delight! Recommend!

Tagging all who replied to my earlier post (thank you!!): @dead-dolphins @firawren @caesarflickermans @kingedmundsroyalmurder @maidstew @dorcaloveskotlc @teafiend @those-things-we-said @margarita-secreta @youreyesholdgalaxies @mtk4fun @giedd @no-where-new-hero

Ficback Friday

Make a post recommending a fic you love from at least a year ago. Dust off the archives, dig through your AO3 history and share those old fics with newer fans who might not have seen them - and the fans who’ve been around forever and might want to revisit an old fave.

You know, a fic that I think was largely slept on is @tysonrunningfox's Crown Loyal, so let's all go back and show it some love.

After All We Lost by CelticBlair is also a beautiful work of art. The description of making prosthetics in the mid twentieth century is quite engrossing and it's full of sweet Hiccstrid shyly falling for each other. Go read it!

Coppélia and Bird set free by @msdownwithlove are also lesser known fics that I am aboslutely feral about.

Also, do you all remember Only At DragonTech and Thor Help Her on FFnet?

Aaaah I was just scrolling down my bookmarks page to try to find the links and was reminded of The World Will Remember Us, a Hiccstrid Bonnie and Clyde au. So, so good. It's an orphaned work so can sometimes be harder to find, so let's remember it again.

Those are some of my favorite 'scratch the itch' Hiccstrid fics. I hope they reach all the right places for you, too!

@bardic-tales For this Ficback Friday, I want to recommend this fic.

it was created by a friend of mine @lillybaaaka and I'm absolutely in love with the crossover, it's technically part three of a set but the other two are way shorter lol and the third is my favorite.. definitely a comfort fic for me (along with a few original story's and fanfics from other friends)

My first bookmark is

The king and the lionheart by ActuallyIronman27 on 7 January 2023

"I am nothing to him, and he is nothing to me."

It had been a year since Beamfloat, and Uhtred had never wanted to see the king again. There was nothing left to be said, after the library. Nothing left but cold and ash - but when Alfred marched back into his life again, Uhtred, his men, and his king are swept up into a wild, whirlwind journey, across sea and ice, unbidden as always to the wild whims of fate.

Dust off the archives, dig through your AO3 history and share those old fics with newer fans who might not have seen them - and the fans who’ve been around forever and might want to revisit an old fave.

Trying to actually participate with these and this one struck me so🙏 @bardic-tales

I have actually had it in my head to rec a few Chrisker fics from WAY back that I had read this year and this is a perfect opportunity.

Please note all these are adult/explicit fics.

F*cks like a S.T.A.R. (5986 words) by Merci : This fic was written in 2007 when Y!gallery was still around and its one of my favorites. It's a pretty simple bondage/captivity scenario with Wesker forcing Chris to do exactly what he wants.

Blowing Off Steam (2016 words) by ficbear: From 2010! Just some rough locker room screwing with hatesex/throwing one another around. STARS era.

Mercenaries (2774 words) by entanglednow: Another 2010 fic. This one takes place roughly during Code Veronica era so it's got that great push/pull of Wesker and Chris being recurring enemies but still attracted to one another.

Mind the tags on all of these and the fact that they're very old but they're some of my favorite in terms of quick fun.

After her kin group is ambushed by Danes, Faoladhean is taken captive in Northumbria. Determined to escape and return home to protect her family, Faoladhean finds herself farther from home than she'd ever dreamed, and in the company of a group of warriors led by Uhtred Ragnarsson.

Katniss and Peeta have a complicated, messy relationship filled with heartbreak, pain and when they get it right, unparalleled bliss. Over the course of fifteen years, they fall in and out of love and manage to figure out that the love they share is worth fighting for.

This is a vintage Everlark angst fic and a complete rollercoaster of emotions, where you will love and hate both Katniss and Peeta in turn. If you haven't read it, give it a go!

Good morning! I hope that you have a wonderful Friday. As I mentioned in my taglist post, the Creators’ Club is to foster a community between like-minded individuals.

Every day, there will be a theme: such as Blorbo Blursday where it is encouraged you go into each other’s ask boxes or even a post on your blog asking about each others’ weekly project or muse.

This project is not to promote your work – even though that will happen organically – but to support the other Tumblr members. It’s to foster a community. You don’t need to participate every day, as I know how it’s important to focus on your health, but please try to interact with each other.

Also, please remember to be kind to everyone and their characters / WIPs. No drama in the creative pool.

Our Friday's are on rotation. We have three: FlashFiction Friday (where you can write from the prompts hosted at the flashfictionfridayofficial's tumblr), Ficback Friday where you share you favorite fics / media from at least a year ago, or Share A Few Lines Friday where you share you favorite lines from your WIP that you have recently written.

How to participate: Make a post recommending a fic you love from at least a year ago. Dust off the archives, dig through your AO3 history and share those old fics with newer fans who might not have seen them - and the fans who’ve been around forever and might want to revisit an old fave. Please remember that this is to post your fic recs, so please do not include your own work.

Reblog art, edits, and gifsets from seasons past. Dig out those old headcanon and meta posts and bring them back.

I picked my very first bookmark on AO3, "The Triumphant Bloom" by sparebitofparchment.

This oneshot focuses on Cressida and her film journey and ends with her present during a momentous day sometime during the 74th reaping ceremony. I really like this dive into Cressida's character, and it was what inspired me to use my bookmarks as recommendations.

In celebration of Ficback Friday, I'm going to recommend a fic of a movie that is very dear to my heart, The Talented Mr. Ripley. Tom and Peter are just the ultimate perfect couple with the best story. No, I won't be taking questions.

The fic is short and isn't overly graphic but is very angsty. A+++ for the contrast of two very different scenes.
