Why Did Candle Do That Weird Heel Turn in Pesty Besties and Why Did She Stick to That Till Her Elimination? Her Entire Deal Was Being an Easy Going Hippie and At No Point Did She Seem Like She Particularly Needed or Depended on Being Looked Up To. She Had a Good Rapport With Paintbrush Too Who Was the Sorta Defacto Ex-Thinkers Leader, if She Felt Abandoned Why on Earth Wouldn't She Vocalize This to PB Who Would Understand? Is Silver Spoon Really So Much Better and Closer to Her Than Both PB and YinYang?? It Just Feels Like They're Doing Whatever Cuz Shes an Emotional Woman Who Cares About This Going Completely Against Her Previous Characterization.

last we saw of cinthe my girl was having an increasingly miserable time here in the Neath. have things taken a turn for the better? well, this is nemesis! of course not :p
but something unexpected... did happen.

Venderbight was horrible. She was surrounded by walking corpses and almost died multiple times, culminating in a betrayal, because of course she was betrayed. She could feel herself more prone to violence, too.
Hyacinthe is relatively, waveringly religious. She believes, wants to believe, in the Church as an institution for good and charity. She needs to believe there's good in the world and in people. And she hasn't been all that sure about God for the longest time – but she's positive there's no God down here. Why is this hole in the earth such a nightmare?
Then the 3500 honey consultation for a few words actually left her feeling quite scammed and angry. She wants nothing to do with honey for reasons you can figure.
Then... well, she's now rather aimless and beat down. Tired. Trying to find a way to the Iron Republic with little progress. But she'll persist. She has to.
Thus far, only two good things happened to her: she rescued a frightened puppy from talking cats and he followed her home against her will. She didn't want to be responsible for it, but she's compassionate to a fault. He's her puppy now. Hyacinthe then arranged him a partner so he won't be alone when she's away. She didn't want this, but the dogs are brightening her life a little. How could they not? Their love is so simple and pure, and she can't help but cherish their warmth at night.

And a little later, she met a kindred spirit.

The moment she met the Last Constable, she couldn't help but admire her. Here's a woman trying to do her damn best to do good in a place so wretched. She had that same glimmer of sorrow in her eyes and Hyacinthe knew there was something with thorns in its hands that pushed her forward by her shoulders in a most painful manner. She was just like her.
They've only met for tea a couple times. But Christmas, midnight, both were alone. The Last Constable invited her for tea. Hyacinthe invited her home so she could maybe rest a little, away from her workplace. It was the holidays. She could rest for one night, right?
(this was a 52% chance randomly enabled by airs. reisz hasn't ever met the Last Constable so all her text is new to me. i clicked it for the lulz, expecting nothing. and io and behold, rng said: let there be yuri.)

Oh.

Oh.

The quiet restrained sobbing got me AND Hyacinthe. Oh no. This is gonna hurt, isn't it?
#fellas. surprise yuri. i am so invested#i find it incredible how rng enabled gay developments to happen in both my accounts this xmas. love wins!!#well doomed love in one side and toxic warped love in another but. love is love!!!! yay!!!#i never progressed family and law in reisz account. AT ALL. so i think ill do it with hyacinthe instead!!#i can pick n choose canon with cinthe's account but am committing to this one storyline blind#stoked abt plot lines with her that doesnt revolve around nemesis tbh. i want to see her develop as a character aside from that too#fallen london#fallen london oc#the sombre pursuer#suggestive#not in a sexy way just in a normal alluded nudity way

☆ THRILL (h)ER! — SATOSUGU X READER
summary: when watching a scary movie with your two best friends, you cant help but hold onto them tight every time you get jumpscared. but as the night goes on and your fingers roam... wait, what movie were you watching again?
wc: 3.3k (its alll smut guys so give me a medal)
cw: double penetration, praising, slight degradation, gojo and geto bickering, fingering, dirty talk (?) and some fun loving you're their pretty little princess. afab!reader, MDNI
an: guys look I finally posted a fic for kinktober, yay me, I hope you like it since Id say the smut on this one hits different sooo give it a chance. also only big brains will understand the fic title.
KINKTOBER M.LIST.

your best friends, gojo and geto always have a way of making you feel right at home, especially when you find yourself in your favourite spot on the couch – sandwiched between them. geto's embrace is a gentle yet possessive one, his arms wrapped around you in a tender hold that radiates warmth, his fingers lazily tracing patterns on your lower back.
to your side, gojo's long limbs seamlessly entwine with yours. your legs stretch over to meet him, creating an intimate tangle of limbs. his fingers trail leisurely up and down your thighs, their teasing caresses sending delightful shivers through your body. it's a familiar and electric sensation that's become an unspoken language among the three of you—one that hasn’t fully been enacted upon… yet.
"i don't know why you insist we watch this movie every year," geto complains, his gaze locked onto his b est friend, a playful frustration in his tone. "you're so predictable."
"oh, don't be a bore," gojo retorts, matching geto's glare before shifting his attention down to you. his voice is laced with mischief as he speaks to you. "you find it fun, don't you?"
“what? do i like crappy slashers from the 80s with big titted damsels running from a shitly costumed killer?” you deadpan, your sarcasm evident. you could feel the vibration from geto as he lowly chuckles. gojo’s face forms a pout that prompts you to quickly add, “but i love them.”
gojo’s pout transforms into a triumphant grin as your admission earns you a playful nudge from him. “that’s my girl,” he exclaims, giving your thigh an excited rub as he turns on the movie.
geto, still chuckling softly, leans in closer. “well, i suppose if toru enjoys it, we can endure it one more time.” his words carry a hint of tenderness, his arm around you tightening ever so slightly, puling you closer into his embrace.
you watch the movie in a comfortable silence, the only noise coming from the tv and gojo's oddly placed screams that you've come to expect every year. his over-the-top reactions to jump scares and gruesome scenes never fail to amuse you, and it's a source of endless entertainment for both you and geto.
geto, on the other hand, watches the movie with a more stoic expression, occasionally shaking his head at the implausible plot twists and unrealistic gore. His hand continues to rest on your thigh, his fingers now tracing soothing patterns as if to counterbalance the tension on the screen.
as the movie progresses, you notice how both gojo and geto steal glances at you when they think you're not looking, as their innocent touches progress into heavy petting. but there's a moment where you all pause, their movements stop, and you all look at each other as the loud sounds of exaggerated moans blare from the screen.
“i always forget this scene is in there,” gojo lies, with a snicker, an appreciative smile forming on his face as he watches the scene.gojo's arm remains draped around your shoulders, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on your arm, while geto's touch has grown increasingly intimate, his hand resting on your hip, his thumb making slow, deliberate circles.
“oh don’t bullshit satoru,” geto accuses, taking his hand off of you for a second to send a jab into gojo’s side, “i know you’re getting off on watching this ditzy blonde getting laid.”
“not true,” gojo retorts childishly, “i think there’s better sights to get off on, isn’t that right?” he finishes casting his eyes, not so subtly, over to you.
“well i can’t lie and say the sights aren’t… appealing,” geto grins his hands coming back on you, toying with the hem of your shirt.
“you two are such guys,” you laugh, trying to remain nonchalant even though on the inside the pace of your heart was quickening, and every touch of their fingers sends jolts straight to your core. “you’re focusing on the wrong things here.”
“and what should we be focusing on here?” geto murmurs at you, you couldn’t see his face but you knew a smirk was plastered across it. his challenge hangs in the air as you pause, hesitating as you scan the room, your eyes meeting gojo’s trying to gauge if they are thinking what you are. geto can sense your hesitation as he feels your breathing still as you lean against him, so he pulls his finger under your chin turning your head to face him. “let us focus on you, come here.”
you lean in, his lips enclosing on yours in a deep kiss, you turn your body almost straddling him so you could get better access. his tongue enters your mouth, as his hands work down your body, and as the kiss intensifies, you’re aware of gojo’s gaze on you. you extend an inviting hand toward him, flashing him a smile as you pull away from geto and set your lips on your other friend.
gojo groans as your lips work with his, and his hands go straight into his pants, fisting his dick that has been hard all night just at the sight of you. geto cascades kisses down your neck as he starts to pull your shirt up off of you, you gasp at the feeling of both of their hands and lips all over you.
“h-how long have you two been planning this one then, huh?” you grin, a laugh escaping through your moans, as you let geto get rid of your shirt, assisting gojo with taking off your pants.
“how long have we known you?” geto responds rhetorically, and gojo nod in agreement, as they both take off their jogging bottoms, leaving you all sitting on the couch in your underwear. there is no more hesitation, or uncertainty between you three—you all know exactly what you want.
“so who gets to have me first?” you joke, your eyes darting between the two of them, their lustful eyes are unmistakable as they stare at your body, their dicks straining against their boxers ready to be suffocated by your tight pussy.
“i get to!” gojo sputters out quickly, but he’s not as swift as geto who’s already pulled you back onto him, his fingers pushing into you without any warning. your mouth parts, as you let out a whine, as his long digits give your pussy fast, relentless strokes, he adds another finger, smirking as your body buckles against his. “hey no fair!” gojo pouts, side eyeing geto, but he can’t help biting his lip as he hears your cunt squelch everytime his best friend shoves his fingers into it.
“don’t worry, ‘toru,” geto reassures, his fingers curling up into you before he pulls it out swiftly, spreading your pussy apart and giving gojo a knowing look, “there’s room for the both of us.”
gojo eagerly drives his fingers into you from behind, his body pressing against yours as he charges your fingers into you. your moans increase as you feel a flurry of digits explore your pussy, gojo’s hand grips on his shoulder and geto hand holds your waist as they both tug your body back and forth in an attempt to get you closer to them.
“s-shit” you cry out, as you clench around their fingers, trying to keep them inside of you. you grind down against both of their fingers, your whimpers encouraging them to twist and push their fingers deeper into you.
“you see how much of a mess she gets for us?” geto asks gojo with a low chuckle, and gojo nods, smiling as the wetness of your pussy allows for his fingers to slide into you with ease, “press down on her clit. hard.”
“don’t tell me what to do,” gojo mutters, but he does it anyway. his thumb going straight to your clit, pushing down on it, smirking as you groan your back arching right into him.
“see i told you,” geto chimes, laughing as gojo glares at him. geto’s focus shifts to you, as he pulls his fingers out of you, bringing them to your mouth, he holds your chin, placing his thumb on your bottom lip as he raises his eyebrows at you for permission. you nod lazily, opening your mouth, accepting two of his fingers —which are drenched in your juices. “‘toru, you gonna finish her off for me.”
gojo smirks, his fingers working in overdrive, as he adds another digit inside of you and you could feel yourself about to release. geto can tell you're close from the way you bite down on his fingers. “you close? you gonna cum on satoru’s fingers as you taste yourself?”
you couldn’t even respond, as your cum sprays all over gojo’s fingers and geto’s stomach. the boys both smirk at each other, as they hear your high pitched moans and see heaps of your cum spilling out of your pussy running down your thighs. gojo is in awe, his fingers still remain in you and he pushes them up lazily, trying to keep you plugged with your cum. you relax onto his fingers, letting him do as he pleases, as you try and catch your breath your body slumping onto geto’s.
“you did so well,” geto praises in his air, lifting up your head off your chest, pecking your lips softly. “you took both of our fingers letting us stretch your tight pussy, it felt good didn’t it?”
“y-yeah it felt so good sugu,” you sigh, turning your head to face gojo, as you pull him closer into you, “you both felt so good.”
“you wanna let us stuff you further?” gojo questions eagerly, his hard dick resting on your ass, as rocks against you.
“satoru,” geto reprimands, shaking his head at his friends over excitement. but gojo shoots him a look shrugging as he presses his face into the crook of your neck, practically inhaling you.
“but suguru, she wants us both to stuff her,” he argues, as fingers already go back to your sobbing cunt. “you want that dont you?” he whispers, directly in your ear, slowly coaxing your pussy with soft strokes as he murmurs in your ear. “you want me and sugu to shove our dicks right up your pussy, together.”
“i don’t know if i can…” you hesitate, your voice faltering, but you pull your lip between your teeth, closing your eyes as you think about taking both of them.
“c’mon pretty girl,” geto persuades you, forcing you to open your eyes and look at the teasing smirk on your face, “don’t think we don’t know how slutty you can be. you know your greedy little cunt take both of us with ease, and you want it to, don't you?” you nod your head slowly in agreement, but geto shakes his, “no, we need to hear you say it. use your words. tell us what you want.”
“i want your dicks to stuff my pussy,” you admit, feeling your confidence grow as the smirk on geto’s face widens and you can hear gojo lowly growl in your ear. “i need it.”
“well we have to give our girl what she wants, right sugu?” gojo taunts, pulling you off of gojo and onto his lap, his dick slaps against your pussy. “suguru got to see your pretty face, before, so this time you’re all mine, okay?” gojo says to you, and you could hear geto kiss his teeth, but he obliges letting gojo have his way this time.
“you ready for me?” gojo asks, waiting for your approval as he lifts you up slightly over his dick, he even looks over to geto he leans back against the couch, with his dick in his hand. you don’t even answer gojo, sliding down onto gojo as you moan together.
geto fists his dick at the sight, “go on satoru, fuck her,” he orders, his strokes increasing as he watches as gojo begin to thrust into you. your hands press down on gojo’s shoulder’s as you start to bounce on him, you lean forward whining straight in his ear, causing him fuck you harder.
gojo plays with your bra strap, pulling it and letting it release against your shoulder, “i don’t know why you’ve still got this on,” he complains, as brings his hands to the clasp of your bra, undoing it. your tits bounce as he pulls off your bra, and both boys smile at the sight. gojo’s fingers pull against both of your nipples, twisting and pulling at them causing you to cry at every tug. “so sensitive,” he mutters to himself, touching your tits inquisitively as he continues to toy with them, loving how with every touch your cries grow louder.
“it’s crazy how we stretched you so well earlier, but your pussy is still tight as fuck,” gojo comments, his words punctuated with every thrust. “i had all my fingers inside of you already, but your cock hungry cunt just can’t seem to get enough.”
“is he fucking you good?” geto calls, feeling himself about to cum, as he rubs against his dick hard. you look over to him and smile, nodding quickly as you wrap your hands around gojos neck, clinging to him as his dick drives into you. geto stands up, coming up behind you pressing a kiss on your neck, “you need me to help get you off?”
“she doesn’t need anything from you, i’m doing just fine,” gojo mumbles, but he lets you slightly raise up off of his dick and he smirks as he feels geto join him, geto’s dick presses against gojo in excitement as they wait in anticipation for you to enclose them with your pussy.
“don’t be nervous,” geto coos from behind you, nipping at your ear. you look at gojo and he gives you an encouraging nod, and you slide back down onto them hissing in slight pain as you feel them both enter you. “it’s okay pretty, you’re doing so so well,” geto continues to reassure you, pressing soothing kisses down your neck, his lips sucking at your flesh. you all pause as you fully take them both in, and you feel the pain subside smiling at gojo giving him permission to move.
geto follows suit, and you all move in tandem, fucking against each other. gojo places his hands on your ass, pushing your cheeks in pace with his movements whereas geto’s hands cup your tits, holding them firmly as he spreads his fingers over your nipples, rolling them.
“fu-fuck you two are too big, you can’t” you whine, clawing against gojo’s chest. they were both drilling into you relentlessly, you couldn’t catch your breath as every second you were being double stuffed with dick. tears spring to your eyes, as you cry out in pleasure, grinding down against them trying to get as much as them as possible.
“if only you could see how slutty our girl looks,” gojo says to geto, as he watches your head fall back, another moan escaping your lips. “her eyes are all glossed over, she’s fucking crying, all slutted out on our dicks right now.”
“is that so?” geto mutters, he forces himself into you deeper, his back hitching up against yours, his clench on your tits tightening as he inches himself in your pussy, his hips slapping against you. “she’s such a good slut, i knew she’d be able to take us well, and look she’s loving it, already creaming all over us, isn’t that baby?”
you nod, your hand coming up to hold geto’s head as he nestles into your neck. you were losing your train of thought, you wanted to tell them how good they felt, how their dicks rubbing against each other in you was all you needed for the rest of you life, but when you open your mouth all that can leave your lips is incoherent words and moans.
both of them smile, watching as you come undone on their dicks. gojo gives geto a nod, and their hands trade places. gojos fingers coming back to your tits, rubbing and pushing them apart before lowering his head to your chest, nuzzling your boobs. gojo and geto were so close that some things between them didn’t need to be spoken, and they were so close to you that they knew your body in and out. they knew when to push and pull, and where to suck just to get you cumming their lap.
“i’m s-so close, i’m gonna cu—” you try and speak out, but your mind is too far gone for you to finish. their dicks slip out of you as your bounces become sloppy, the pleasure too much for you but geto forces you back muttering reassurance in your neck. and the sudden contact causes you to cum, you release all over both them, but they don’t stop their movements, their dicks driving into you still, pushing back in all the cum you were letting out.
“satoru, we gonna give our girl one final stuffing?” geto prompts, and gojo nods, they both give you one final push and you could feel your pussy stretch as their cum sprays your walls. you wail out, the tears streaming your face as your body jerks forward, feeling their dicks go limp inside of you as you all pant in pleasure.
“that was fucking amazing,” gojo praises, a blissful smile on his face as he leans back his head resting on his arms. you return his smile, your lips meeting his in a quick kiss, that he groans at as you pull away. you come off his dick slowly, all of your eyes staring at the ropes of cum that immediately spill out of your pussy as he unplugs you.
geto turns your head to face him, his dick still lodged deeply inside of you, he pulls you into a long kiss, his mouth smothering yours. he pulls your bottom lip between his teeth, roughly biting down on it before releasing you, his hand cupping your chin, forcing you to stare up at him “you’re mine, my pretty slutty mess.”
“um she’s ours,” gojo chimes in, but geto shrugs, not caring to listen to your other friend. geto, finally pulls you off his dick, and your pussy clenches around nothing, already missing the feeling of their dicks.
“you too always know to take good care of me,” you exhale, exhausted your pussy sore about being stretched open by the two of them. geto pulls you back into his original hold, leaning back against his chest, and your legs stretch over gojo’s lap. but this time instead of innocent gentle touches, geto’s hands lazily tug at your nipples, and gojo caresses your naked thighs, his fingers flicking at your clit every now and again.
“that’s what friends are for,” geto muses, pressing his lips against your cheek before saying, “now satoru, are you gonna press play on this shitty movie or what?”

AN: ight so there you have it my FIRST FIC of kinktober, what do you guys think I need to hear all your thoughts since Ooooof this took me so long to write. so I hope it is worth it. also if you see my bias towards geto during this then LOOK AWAY, im sorry gojo stans but im a geto lover foreverrr. but yeahhh lmk ur thoughts stay tuned for my other kink tober fics which WILL be on time I promise smooches.

OK A BREAKDOWN OF LES MISERABLES IN FRANCE
- they changed a lot of the lyrics (including my fav/funniest lyrics unfortunately) which was pretty interesting ; honestly i think it's a great thing bc it was last re-written in 1991 and they made the songs more textual, more like real talking and i think way more accessible for a lot of people (bc in france we have this habit of writing pretty words, with a lot of images and lyrical phrases but it's not always helping to understand the plot yknow)
- the new lyrics for do you hear the people sing/à la volonté du peuple are SO GOOD ! originally it says :
à la volonté du peuple/et à la santé du progrès/rempli ton cœur d'un vin rebelle/et à demain ami fidèle
(to the will of the people/and cheers to progress/fill your heart with a rebel wine/and see you tomorrow, faithful friend)
and now it's:
à la volonté du peuple/qui crie les mots de sa colère/le chant de ceux qui ne veulent plus/être les damnés de la terre
à la volonté du peuple/dont on étouffe jamais la voix/et dont le chant renaît toujours/et dont le chant renait déjà
(to the will of the people/screaming the words of its anger/the song of those who don't want to be/the damned on earth anymore
to the will of the people/which you can never choke the voice/and whose song always revive/and whose song's revive already)
and idk i think it's pretty freaking cool; but i'll do a big breakdown of the new lyrics of do you hear the people sing bc it's the song they changed the most and i think it's way better for our times and more hopeful and giving the will to fight
- the stage: honestly real cool and clever! it's a smaller stage, way smaller than the west end one if my memories are not mistaken, and we obvisouly don't have the rotating stage; but they played a lot with moving structures and transparent curtains to make special effect like buildings, rain, etc... and it's way real cool !
- idk who the sound guy was but props to him cause the sound was SO GOOD like it sounded so clean and like listening to an album, truly perfect on this aspect
- the actors were GREAT, you could see they rlly took the roles and made them their own (i think enjolras' actor loves his role bc ive seen some of his tiktok and he looks like he loves it a lot so that's cool af)
- also i bough this

which is a conversation with boublil and schonberg retracing the story of the musical so yay
Anyway i'll do another big post to tell y'all act by act what was happening !
#les mis#les miserables#victor hugo#les mis musical#les amis de l'abc#translation is vague and rough but oh well

Update. — 3rd October 2024
Well, helloo. If you're following me and reading this then...you must really hate me for my lack of activity on this blog. I apologise for that. Doing a masters degree really kicks my ass, and leaves me with no time to write. But Golden has never been dead or abandoned, it's very much always at the forefront of my mind.
And, for that pure reason, I know it's a story I haven't been 1,000% happy with so the story is going through some major changes. Probably, the first is that it's being rewritten. A (somewhat) new plot written with whole new software—we're making the move to Twine.
My reasoning; I've spent over a year learning the coding which makes me want to rip my hair out. I get to have a lot more ownership over my work, the customisation options are stellar, and you guys will get to read it for free.
The reasons for rewriting has been because I want to fix the cringey writing from when the story's first demo was released. It's mostly from the earlier chapters, but then the thought of plot changes came to me and I wanted to implement those. Realistically, the majority of what's being rewritten is what I had planned for book two—so I'm just bringing that forward. I'll update the synopsis closer to the release of this rewrite.
The changes (which can be subject to change): I'm getting rid of the university idea (though you can still choose careers that are related to those degrees from the options that'll be given) (e.g., if you liked the nursing student option, then your MC can work as a nurse). I'm thinking that the MC will already know about the supernatural world to some extent—there'll still be a lot of suspense and mystery and things to unravel, that was always going to remain. And, in this rewrite, my thought is that the MC and the gang will be working at a multi-agency organisation — called The Everbrook — where the aim is to bridge the gap between humans and supernaturals. To make the world run smoothly, so to speak.
The ROs are the exact same! No changes to that—the only change is that them and the mc will somewhat know of each other already. The genre is the same. MC is still as they are, a Lehsian socialite with a pretty (yet peculiar) birthmark. The parents will have much, much less of a role, but they'll still be mentioned here and there.
This seems like a load of word vomit, but I feel like these changes will improve the story. I'm hoping that it'll make MC less of a spare part in the story, allowing them to have more autonomy in the supernatural universe, especially with their enhanced skillset.
I've done the customisation in terms of the UI layout for Twine already, and it should be mobile friendly too. With that done, I've started writing and I'm a few thousand words in. A lot of what I've written in the ChoiceScript version can still be used, but also getting back into writing a story from scratch is something I'm looking forward to.
I feel like this is a bittersweet thing because yay to a new and better story, but also the time it's going to take to get it out. I'll debate whether to release the whole ten chapters, or do a few chapters at a time, like splitting it up into chunks (releasing three chapters now, and three chapters later on).
Another reason as to why I've taken so long to mention this, other than learning code and the rewrite, is just the whole process of this being a little nerve-wracking. The whole thought of a rewrite of something I've put so much effort into is scary, but it'll be worth it.
I'll accept any questions you've got, and I'll create an FAQ regarding all of this too. But, most importantly, you're in the loop of how this is progressing. I really appreciate everyone's kind words about this story: loving the ros, re-reading it, still sticking by my writing—it means a lot. So, thank you and I hope the future of this story is what you want and more.
PLANS.
Finish introductory scenes.
Finish chapter one.
WORD COUNT.

MCR Fanfic Rec/Review List!
tl/dr: This is an MCR slash fiction recommendation list with various ratings, multiple ships, AUs and sections; not only with summaries but also my non-spoilery thoughts. I'm going to be yapping a lot in this one. MINORS DNI (as in i cant stop you from reading these but no comments plz🙏) Section 1: Danger Days / Fabulous Killjoys Section 2: The Infamous Fics (for example: Unholyverse) Section 3: Desolation Row Section 4: Various MCR AUs Pairings listed: Frank/Gerard; Fun Ghoul/Party Poison; Jet Star/Party Poison; Jet Star/Party Poison/Fun Ghoul; Frank/Mikey; Pete/Patrick (from FOB)
Welcome and be warned (or enjoy), this is a pretty long and wordy list! I've been actively reading mcr fics for about a month and a half now, so I felt compelled to do something with all this energy. The idea for this blog post came to me because I had to share my newfound knowledge!!
Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/guusagi/766055506866569216/mcr-fanfic-recreview-list-2
If you can't stand RPF (real person fiction), feel free to just browse the Danger Days section, as I personally think it's disconnected enough from the band to be enjoyable. I was uncomfortable with rpf at first but I ended up loving these fics so much I stopped caring lol! I will still mention how much real life is involved in each fic so there are more options with different levels of comfort for you.
The most common ship on this list will be Frerard, because not only it's the easiest to find, but also cus a lot of amazing fics are written about these two! I also included some Frikey, cus it's underrated in my eyes and so good! I also found some Rayrard and poly ships yay!
I will start with some Danger Days fics cus that's how I started reading MCR fandom fics, and I LOVE the setting of this album and the Killjoys comic series! Party Poison/Fun Ghoul is the main ship, but you’ll also find Party Poison/Jet Star! There's also a poly ship (Party Poison/Fun Ghoul/Jet Star).
I decided to also yap about the most infamous fics in the fandom, like Unholyverse and A Splitting of the Mind (plus a 3rd one). I was skeptical at first, but what a ride it was reading these fics!
I also included a few Desolation Row AUs cus there's not tons but I ADORE the music video and it makes for an interesting punk/rebellion theme.
And finally, I’ll highlight some other general AUs, as well as a few MCR as a band fics for those who enjoy rpf in particular. This is my longest section.
Please feel free to explore the full tags on AO3, as some fics might have stuff that's triggering to some. If you want to avoid smut I will specifically mention if there is any, sometimes we just want cute fluff! I also will mention if there's something iffy like an age gap, or non-con, I personally do not go out of my way to read either, but there are 2 fics on this list that include those.
Also I love longfics so this is gonna have a lot of stories with around or over 100k words.
The structure of each fic rec is as follows:
-Name of the fic, and the author. -Rating and if the fic includes smut. -The main pairing, as well as sub pairings if relevant to the story, also what type of AU it is. -Main POV, who’s the main character of the story! -Are the characters MCR? If the fic is written with mychem as a band similar to real life (also if it follows their trajectory in life, like their wives and kids, or if it’s an AU where those relationships don’t happen), or if they use the same irl names but are not in a band like an AU. In the case of the killjoys, if their ‘city names’ are the same as mcr or not. -Status is if they are completed fics, works in progress, or abandoned/on hiatus. I also added amount of chapters and word count, and if it's a oneshot or otherwise. -Links will send you directly to the fic on AO3, if it’s a collection of stories I link that instead. -My summaries are just what I personally thought was the main plot of the story. -Personal thoughts are my observations on the fic, how much I enjoyed it, what I found unique about this story, and my feelings overall. I also will specifically mention if the fic has a happy or angsty ending, for those who either enjoy or don’t enjoy sad endings. I love happy endings but I did give some sad endings a try, even if I don't go out of my way looking for them.
—————————————————————————-
Section 1: Danger Days AUs
This is how I got started with MCR fanfiction. I wanted to read fics about mcr and was uncomfortable with rpf at first (like I mentioned before, I got over the discomfort cus I ended up loving the non-DD fics as well). Danger Days is a super fun universe, and I really enjoy the idea of the Killjoys. I hope I picked a good variety of options!
Don't Need the System by LiberXI
Rating: Explicit (smut in final chapter) Pairing: Frerard - Party Poison/Fun Ghoul Main POV: Fun Ghoul Are the characters MCR?: No, but they use the same irl names. Status: Completed, total of 25 chapters and 144k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55799308 My Summary: This is a Party Poison origin story! Fun Ghoul gets captured by Bl/ind to reintegrate him into Battery City's society. Little does he know, the supervisor he's been assigned to is none other than Gerard, the face of Bl/ind's Propaganda! Gerard doesn't really know how human interaction works and shenanigans ensue. Personal Thoughts: This is actually quite the unique spin on the danger days formula compared to most I've read, where Party Poison is not yet themself but being an active part of the System! Gerard uses he/him pronouns throughout half of the fic, then they switch to they/them. Korse is sort of their guardian and grants them privileges most don't get. For example having a lot of luxuries, as well as being off pills. They are still mostly controlled and very naive about the world. Most of the fic takes place within Gerard's apartment, as Fun Ghoul is not allowed to leave. The writing is super compelling and you can't help but read the next chapter as soon as you finish the previous one! The relationship between Gee and Ghoul starts off on the wrong foot but it's honestly super cute after that. I'm still actively reading this one, so once this story is complete I’ll attach an updated review.
Edit 10/23/24: So the fanfic JUST ended! I read the final chapter today and man, yep, there was smut alright! There's only smut in the final chapter, so you're safe if you want to avoid those types of scenes (also I want to warn that there is usage of the f-slur in one portion of the final chapter, but it's used with consent). My thoughts on the story have not changed, I still love it to bits!! I'm sad that it's already over but that's life for you haha, all things come to an end. If you are iffy about reading WIP fics, now you can totally read this one start to finish!

I Believe We're the Enemy by Test_subject_306
Rating: Mature (no smut) Pairing: Party Poison/Fun Ghoul Main POV: Fun Ghoul Are they MCR?: No, only Frank is mentioned by his real name. Status: Completed, 39 chapters and 104k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8097178 My Summary: Party Poison gets captured by Korse, and is presumed dead by Fun Ghoul and the others. However, Party returns in an altered state, completely brainwashed. It's up to Ghoul and the others to get the old Party back... will they succeed? Personal Thoughts: Good god, this one was a wild ride! I actually had to take breaks to read a softer/less angsty fic between chapters, cus man this story HURT. Party Poison is brainwashed as all hell, and pretty nasty with the others... A fair warning, I think it's important to mention that this does NOT have a happy ending, but man the ride was so worth it! It's sort of an open-ended conclusion. If you read A Splitting of the Mind, that's how I'd describe the ending's structure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graffiti On Your Grave by Honestmouse (Part 1 of "Sing It Out")
Rating: Teens and Up (implied scenes but no smut.) Pairings: Party Poison/Fun Ghoul & Jet Star/Kobra Kid Main POV: Various! Are they MCR?: No, they use unique names. Status: WIP; 3 out of 4 parts have been completed so far, with a 4th one in the works. As of 09/16/2024 there has been a collective total of 64 chapters and 269k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1909105 My Summary: Post-SING music video, our Killjoys are near death when they get rescued by an underground resistance in Battery City. This story takes place after The Girl is safely secured. They navigate their new home, and meet many new people, most notably The Youngbloods. Personal Thoughts: The world-building in this one was awesome! A new place to navigate, a lot of characters to meet, and overall a compelling story! I was pleasantly surprised that our killjoys had their own original names and not just the usual MCR band member's names. This really helped with keeping the immersion, especially if you enjoy Danger Days fanfics cus of the ease of separation. This is also only part 1 of a series called Sing It Out, and I'm not done with reading the others yet!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tongue Tied, In Distress by tired_stressed
Rating: Not Rated (there's only implied sexual content, aka ‘fades to black b4 they bang’ kinda deal, so I’d personally say teens and up) Pairing: Fun Ghoul/Party Poison/Jet Star (yep, it’s poly over here!) Main POV: Fun Ghoul Are they MCR?: No, and only their killjoy names are used. Status: Unfinished with no updates since 2023, 31 chapters and 152k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41650503 My Summary: Fun Ghoul and Jet Star reconnect after losing each other as kids. Ghoul also HATES those from Battery City, which is ironic because it was thanks to Party Poison and Kobra Kid that he gets to see Jet again. Ghoul has to reluctantly accept a deal between them, and they somehow end up teaming up for longer than he expected. Personal Thoughts: Despite this being an unfinished/maybe abandoned story, I still wanted to recommend it! I honestly really enjoyed the writing, and how much Ghoul HATED Poison's guts at first. This is sort of an enemies to lovers trope for Ghoul and Party, while being a childhood friends to lovers trope for Ghoul and Jet. Also not to mention how it's the only poly relationship I found and read from the fandom so far. I can't delve deeper into it without spoiling so that's all! Plz read it!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
doesn't have to all be destruction by spelling bee
Rating: Mature (implied sexual content, no smut) Pairing: Party Poison/Jet Star & pre-established Kobra Kid/Fun Ghoul Main POV: Jet Star (for once, poor Ray is never the main character) Are they MCR?: No, they use unique city names. Status: Completed, 26 chapters and 156k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17909432 My Summary: In this universe, people can manifest superpowers! Bl/ind wants to find them all and train them to work for the government, but Poison and Kobra manage to escape without their powers being revealed. Fun Ghoul has been abandoned in the desert since he was young, and Jet Star is an agent for Bl/ind, although reluctantly. Poison, Kobra and Ghoul team up as teenagers, and when Poison gets captured for conversion, Jet Star helps them escape, and decides to join them. It's up to Jet to figure out how to live in the desert, and perhaps become a killjoy himself. He also needs to learn how to control his strange superpower... Personal Thoughts: This fic was recommended to me by a fellow mcrmy friend! I really enjoyed the plot, not to mention the fact that it has some rareships imo! It’s so refreshing to have the protagonist be Jet Star/Ray for a change! Party Poison/Jet Star is really not explored very often, and what a shame cus with Poison's sass and energy, and Jet's kindness and..grounded..ness, it makes for a nice dynamic where they compliment each other very well! Fun Ghoul/Kobra Kid is already an established relationship, which is a nice change of pace, though I sort of felt disappointed that we only got a bit of backstory on how they got together cus, they're so stinkin cute (and later I came to learn that I just love frikey..)! Also the sexual content is only implied, so you're safe if you don't want to read smut.
-------------------------
Overall Thoughts on this Section:
And that wraps up my Danger Days AUs, there are MORE I've read/completed, but I wanted to highlight the ones I thought were either unique, and/or have very decent writing. Danger Days and the Killjoys make for an excellent background for fiction, and many people have created self-inserts and OCs. There's probably plenty of original killjoy character fics that I haven't found yet.
-------------------------
Section 2: THE BIG THREE!
I wanted this next section to focus on three very (in)famous fanfics from the MCR fandom. I started reading Unholyverse sorta ironically, expecting a My Immortal moment, but I was super pleasantly surprised! After finishing that series, I decided to read the other two and man I'm glad I did. So yeah, whatever I say here may be nothing new but I wanted to share my thoughts on them!
So, without further ado..!
Unholyverse by Bexless
Rating: Mature (lotsa blood, especially in Part 1, there's eventual smut at part 3 i think? i forgor...) Pairing: Frerard - Priest!Gerard/Body Piercer!Frank (with sub-pairing Mikey/Ray) Main POV: Frank Are they MCR?: No, they use MCR's irl names but this is an AU with no relation to the band. Status: Completed, 5 parts total and 186k words. Link: Republished on AO3 by bexless, separated by the main parts (full collection: https://archiveofourown.org/series/9795) My Summary: Frank works in a tattoo shop as a body piercer, training under Bob (Bryar) to become a tattoo artist. Mikey works as their receptionist, and Brian is the owner of the shop. Ray is sort of a hair stylist and makes herbal concoctions I guess?? Frank's world turns upside down, when he gets himself a mysterious tattoo one night from a stranger that is itching him badly...suddenly he's bleeding all over?? He also meets Gerard, Mikey's brother, who's hot and also a priest, oops! I guess they also have to travel together and vanquish demons as a team?! (If you know of the movie Stigmata, this is basically the plot of that movie apparently? I didn't watch it myself) Personal Thoughts: I have a lot to say about this one. Due to the nature of Gerard's job as a priest, this story has MANY discussions about religion, specifically Catholicism. If you aren't comfortable with that, I understand if you skip. My personal relationship with religion is that my family is Catholic, but my parents are non-practicing so the most we've done was attend Church for weddings and Easter? I also went through Communion. I personally do not identify with the Catholic faith, but I still managed to enjoy this fic a lot and was glad I gave it a chance. It's really hard to find where to begin with this one, cus honestly... this was one of the best fanfictions I have ever read, period! Which is shocking to me cus when there's a famous fic in a fandom, it's usually because it's like, My Immortal or something (aka so bad it's good). Rarely have I seen popular fics with genuinely high quality writing. This could also be cus I do not interact with fandoms much and have always kept my distance? The writing was genuinely clever and quick-witted, as well as super compelling. I'm a fairly calm reader and don’t often react out loud to things I read, but I found myself cry-laughing at many parts of Unholyverse. Maybe it's cus it took itself a little bit more seriously due to the era it was written in, and it could be seen as cheesy by today's standards. I also just think the writer is very good at writing funny dialogue, maybe it wasn’t taking itself that seriously after all (idk im neurodivergent lmao). The characters feel so believable, and I found myself seeing them as completely original characters pretty quickly. The relationship between Frank and Gerard is SO slowburn it hurts, but it hurts so good! The tension and pining is crazy, and I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil!! I want to revisit this fic again soon, in fact I'm itching to re-read it now! This story is so good I wish for it to be published one day with changed names to make it original. Also, Fall Out Boy is in this fic LOL!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Splitting of the Mind by Shoved2agree
Rating: Explicit (smut mostly at the end, this is a mental institution AU so fair warning) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Gerard Are they MCR?: No, they use their irl names but no relation to the band. Status: Completed, 21 chapters and 144k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/535958 My Summary: We follow Gerard, a mental institution patient, who believes he's the only normal one there. Gerard believes there is a group of people who want to kill him, so he has selective mutism to keep “them” from finding him. There he meets Frank, a new addition to the ward, and instantly feels a connection with him he's never felt with another person before. The story is very psychological so be warned. It's not a fluffy story at all, and doesn't have a happy ending, but it's at the very least a hopeful one! Personal Thoughts: What isn't there to say about this one..? It's also in my top list of fanfiction in general. It's a truly well-written story, you think you start to understand how Gerard's mind works, and then you don't. It's not a spoiler to say that he suffers from Schizophrenia, he's just completely unaware of it, or in denial it's hard to say. The way his inner thoughts are described are very compelling, I personally do not know anyone who suffers from this condition, nor do I know much about how it works, so I will not judge which part of the portrayal was good or bad, but at the very least it didn't seem offensive and it seemed to be respectful. I actually got super immersed in his thought process and I couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't at times, just like him. I can at least say that it didn't feel like it was glorified at all. Frank's reason for his admission to the institution is also super heartbreaking and raw. Overall this story was definitely not a happy one, but I truly enjoyed this fic, the ending was just, god my heart😭... one of the best written scenes in fiction, not even kidding. I highly recommend you read this if you can stomach a sad yet hopeful ending.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Anatomy of a Fall by novembersmith
Rating: Explicit (smut near the end of the fic, this is a high school AU and there’s an age gap (kind of, not really, can't say without spoiling) but Gerard is 18 from my understanding.) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Gerard Are they MCR?: No, but they use the same names though. Status: Completed, 12 chapters and 107k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/155168 My summary: Gerard moves to a quiet town in the middle of nowhere with his mom and little brother Mikey. Imagine a sort of Forks in Twilight kind of gloomy and mysterious atmosphere. Gerard goes into the woods one day and meets a strange boy called Frank. He doesn't seem to go to their school despite being his age, or at least, he hasn't bumped into him yet. This boy is super cool but really mysterious, they become close friends quickly and hang out together after school in the forest. There are also a lot of strange acts of violence happening in this town, and Frank wants to find out what is going on in this weird small town. Personal Thoughts: There's a twist that's hinted at super early and kind of obvious, this is a ghost story after all, but it doesn't ruin the experience at all. Gerard takes longer to realize what Frank's deal is than the reader but it's totally the point! This story was another great one from the line-up, and it DOES have a happy ending, yay! I really enjoyed the relationship between Gerard and Frank, the progression felt natural, and the mystery is great and has an excellent payoff methinks. The world building in this one was really good as well, I could totally picture this little town. Also, it comes with ''official'' art!
-------------------------
Overall thoughts on this section:
I started off reading Unholyverse, assuming it was the most popular fic because it was similar to My Immortal in infamy. However, that could be further from the truth! Without repeating myself too much like in the review, it was super well written and compelling and I fell in love with this story! I also loved the other two I read. If I had to ''rank'' the fics to my personal preferences it would be something like Unholyverse > A Splitting of the Mind = Anatomy of a Fall. If you have been hesitant with reading these famous fics like I was, please give them a chance! I do have to admit, I deliberately ignored “A Dove Keeper” due to its severe age gap. Let’s pretend there’s just 3 infamous fics ok??
-------------------------
Section 3: Desolation Row AUs
I wanted to give the AUs based on the Desolation Row cover/music video some love! They are few and far between, which is a shame. This MV altered my brain chemistry not gonna lie, it was one of the best looks for the band imo. These fics are mostly oneshots, but on the lengthier side!
Truth on the Airwaves by stoplightglow
Rating: Mature (implied sexual content, no smut) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Gerard, but it switches out of his POV often. Are they MCR?: Despite it being an AU, i’d say yes. They call themselves My Chemical Romance and sing their songs. Status: Completed, Oneshot with 34k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15704250 My Summary: This is a prequel to the Desolation Row music video, it also includes a ‘what happens after’ epilogue. Gerard is an office worker in a boring job, but the government is censoring the world more and more, they even banned booze and fun apparently! Gerard and company decide it’s time to take matters into their punk rock hands. This is an AU where MCR become a band to protest against censorship and illegally tour to spread hope and rebellion. With the help of a radio host, they spread their illegal music to the masses. They call themselves My Chemical Romance and create the Bullets album and more! Follow their shenanigans and see what happens :D Personal thoughts: This was the first desolation row fic I read, and man was it fun! This fic is transparent about the members being MCR, but it’s still an AU. The writing is super fun, Gerard is confused about how he feels about Frank throughout the fic in the cutest way possible. I love it! I also like the fact that they included what happens after they get arrested in the music video. It’s a happy ending yay!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heaven's Not About Your Reputation by impertinence
Rating: Mature (some smut) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Gerard mostly. Are they MCR?: Pretty much yes! Still AU though. Status: Completed, oneshot with 28k words. (this might actually be one of the oldest fics on this list, from 2009) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27280 My Summary: This is a collection of scenes with Gerard and the gang touring with their music, rebelling against the government and overall pissing off the cops. Gerard and Frank got some shit going on, after kissing each other to prove a point on stage, they’re confused about what this all means. Personal Thoughts: Not too much to say about this one, the writing is very good and is the main reason I recommend it. The scenes of their shenanigans are super entertaining too, lots of bickering and banter in this one! It’s quite short (for my standards) but definitely worth a read!
-------------------------
Overall thoughts on this section:
There aren’t many fics here, as truthfully there isn’t too much to work with in Desolation Row, but the ones that I did read were pretty great! My personal headcanon is that this AU takes place before the apocalypse in Danger Days, as the government is starting to get super involved with people’s freedom of speech but isn’t completely controlling everyone just yet. I wanted to put this section before the other AUs, so that we can give our Desolation Row AUs some extra attention!
-------------------------
Section 4: Various MCR AUs
Finally, I’ll be highlighting some other MCR AUs that don’t fit in a specific section. I’ll add an extra description for each one; like high school, or college, other jobs, childhood friends, enemies to lovers ect. This is also the section with the most recommendations so buckle in!
I'll start with some "MCR working at a store" AUs!
"that was easy" by metaleaterz aka The Staples Fic
Rating: Explicit (smut included) Pairing: Frerard & background Ray/Mikey Main POV: Frank Are they MCR?: No, they have their own separate paths in life. Status: Completed with 14 chapters and 88k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25903483 My Summary: Frank is in college and running out of money fast, Mikey tells him to apply to Staples and work there with him, Ray and Gerard. Brian is their manager too! Frank and Gerard's relationship blossoms from there and shenanigans ensue. This story was based on a tweet Frank posted about working at Staples one time, but just being high and not actually working much LOL. Personal Thoughts: This is actually another very popular fic, and was written in 2020! Most of the popular fics I've read were written before mcr's break up, so it was a pleasant surprise! This story was honestly super funny, the Staples setting is iconic asf, but the romance in this one was also extra cute and it was super satisfying when they finally get together hehe! I highly recommend this one, it also has excellent writing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emotional Brilliance by kopperblaze
Rating: Mature (no smut) Pairing: Frikey (Frank/Mikey) & some poly?Lindsey/Ray/Gerard Main POV: Mikey (for once lmao) Are they MCR?: Nah, but Frank is part of a band and so is Ray. Status: Completed, Oneshot with 20k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/501146 My Summary: Mikey loves working at Lush, he really does. Despite his music career not working out for him, he loves working there with Ray. Unfortunately, Frank, who used to bully Gerard in high school, gets hired to work with them. Mikey hates his guts, but Frank is much more friendly than at school, maybe people do change..? Personal Thoughts: Finally some Frikey! (Hope the ship name is correct lol) No for real, I love frerard like everyone else, but frank/mikey is a close second. I'd like the ship even more if there were MORE FICS about them!! This one was pretty cute, and Mikey's hatred of Frank is super funny to me, because he really doesn't have a reason anymore, does he? Lush is also another funny setting, I can't imagine how they can stand the fruity smell in that store, it's so overpowering I never stepped into it much. This one was short but it felt complete! Anyways please give this one a try we need more frikey appreciation in this house!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We Used To Be Friends by ladyfoxxx
Rating: Explicit (smut included near the climax/end) Pairing: Frikey; bassist!Mikey x School Teacher!Frank Main POV: Frank Are they MCR?: No, Mikey is a bassist for The Used and Frank is a school teacher. Status: Completed, Oneshot with 50k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/458760 My Summary: Frank used to be a part of a band before it split and ultimately ended his music career. Mikey managed to join The Used as their bassist, but Frank had not been contacted by him in years. Frank has since become a high school teacher, and one day Gerard finds a way to make the two reconnect! Mikey invites Frank to join them on their tour around Jersey during Spring Break, and he agrees reluctantly. Follow Frank on his tour as he navigates some old feelings and has a taste of what it's like to tour again. Personal Thoughts: Eeeek this was so cuuute! I usually don't read oneshots because I love me a longfic, but 50k words ain't nothing to sneeze at either. Also this fic made me fall in love with the frikey ship, like seriously it's too cute. I like Mikey's aloofness in fanfics, he's so deadpan in an endearing kind of way. I felt bad for Frank being insecure and it hit me a little too close to home cus he was so relatable haha. This is a fun story with some drama, but it ends happily! Honestly this fic will make you love this ship.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When We're Both Thirty by Helena_Hathaway
Rating: Explicit (smut near the end) Pairing: Frerard (childhood friends, to enemies to lovers) Main POV: Frank Are They MCR?: Nope! Just the same names and a "if MCR wasn't a band" AU. (Gerard works in art for example) Status: Completed, 30 chapters and 84k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/2757812 My summary: Gerard and Frank had been inseparable as little kids, they loved each other before they could put a name to it. They sign a contract saying if they don't get married at 30 years old, they will marry each other! Unfortunately they have a falling out and end up hating each other's guts throughout most of their school life, and lost contact after high school. They are both approaching 30... and their moms try to reconnect them once more. However, both Gerard and Frank still hate each other, so they both agree to help find themselves partners to avoid getting married! Personal Thoughts: This was a super fun story, I also devoured this one. It's like, an enemies to lovers too so one of my fave tropes hohoho! I love how supportive their moms were, so much so that they shipped their kids together! The writing was very solid, and these two are total idiots! I love when ppl write this ship as idiots in love, it's just so obvious they have a thing for each other but are holding old petty grudges. Their attraction towards one another, despite trying their darndest to still hate each other, is highly entertaining. I strongly recommend this one! It’s super sweet, funny and the payoff is so worth it!

Before the Second Show by CharredLips
Rating: Teens and Up (no smut, this is a fluffy one) Pairing: Frerard (Bullets Era) Main POV: Frank Are they MCR?: Yes, but this is an AU where they don’t meet their irl partners. Status: Completed with 18 chapters and 75k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32276128 My Summary: This story is set during the Bullets era, and as the title suggests, it takes place during the very early days of MCR. Frank is the new addition to their band as they start their first tour, cramped van and all. However, he’s starting to have weird feelings about Gerard and is unsure what to do with them. Gerard is also feeling something but Frank is unaware that it's mutual. These two are complete idiots in love! This story also just follows the typical early 2000s band tour shenanigans; sleepless nights, driving all day and all night, eating junk food, getting wasted and smoking cigs, little to no showers etc. what's not to love?! Personal Thoughts: This is the only “true” rpf story on this list, the only difference is that in this AU Gerard and Frank don’t end up with their irl partners. Also this is a teens and up rated fic so you don’t have to worry about smut, perfect if you like the ship but don’t want to see em bang. I gotta say, this fic was SUPER FUCKING CUTE! Their mutual pining, how obviously they like each other and try to be near each other at every waking (and sleeping) moment, this is just so fun and precious. They’re so dumb, omg! I might be biased towards the idiots in love tag. There’s a lot of secretive intimacy (non-sexual) and hiding to do gay stuff together and man it was fun to read. I do wanna say tho Gerard has pretty bad self-esteem issues, and talks down on himself a lot, and it might hit a bit too close to home for some (like me). This one also has the cutest happy ending ever though!! Another banger!

Did You Miss Me? 'Cus I Missed You by LiberXI
Rating: Explicit (smut with plot) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Frank Are They MCR?: No, this is a college AU Status: Completed with 3 chapters and 35k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48104839 My Summary: Frank is starting college and is super excited to enjoy the freedom that comes with that. Mikey and Ray go to a college party with Frank, and he bumps into Gerard, who also lives on the same college campus as the others. They used to hang out a lot more back a few years ago, and Frank is super happy to see him again. While chatting it up and having a smoke together, Gerard and Frank realize that they had missed each other much more than they both expected. Personal Thoughts: This is the 2nd fic from LiberXI that I'd like to recommend, but it's also the most explicit I apologize lol. They wrote a lot more fics than I thought and found this little gem after reading the latest chapter of their DD fic (Don't Need The System). This is definitely a self-indulgent fic rec, it's short and sweet, with smut and their relationship is just rly cute and wholesome. So sort of fluffy smut?! IDK I just wanted an excuse to recommend this one here if anyone likes shorter fics, since I put so many long ones on this list lol. I also love this author's writing style a lot.

The Calypso Initiative by theficisalie
Rating: Explicit ("activities of the alone variety" in some chapters, smut near the end) Pairing: Frerard (small age gap, Frank is 11 and Gerard is 16 when they meet; they don’t hang out much nor pursue each other till they’re both over 21) Main POV: Frank Are They MCR?: Nope this is a superhero/school AU Status: Completed with 20 chapters and 91k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/280176 My Summary: A superhero AU, where ppl with "mutations" are heavily monitored. They have to either work for the government or live in the streets as fugitives. Frank is 9 years old when his family abandons him, he is found by heroes-in-training Mikey and Gerard, and joins them in their school/compound which educates young mutants and teaches them to control their powers. Frank and Gerard's relationship becomes distant after Gerard becomes a part of an official hero team, and doesn't seem to have time for him anymore and is constantly ignoring him. Yet Frank still wants to join their team, will he succeed? Personal Thoughts: I was super hooked by this one! It's honestly a great story and the format is super satisfying. We follow Frank's journey from living with a group of other abandoned mutant children in the city, to learning how to control his unique powers at the compound, and growing into an adult who is ready to fight crime with his best friends (Gee, Mikey and Ray). I will say though, there is a bit of an age gap between Frank and Gee, Frank being the younger one. I feel like what the author did was pretty tame compared to other fics like a dove keeper (which is waaay worse like the age gap is 17/40 ew, sorry.) Gee and Frank are friends when they're younger and drift apart in between, interacting barely until Frank's 25-ish? So it doesn't feel predatory at all in my opinion. That's about as much as I'm willing to spoil, feel free to skip if any sort of age gap makes you uncomfortable!

Marked like a bloodstain by drunkonyou
Rating: Teens and Up (no smut) Pairing: Frerard, with sub-pairing Rikey Main POV: Frank Are They MCR?: Nope, this is a vampire AU. Status: Completed, 12 chapters and 56k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29563299 My summary: This story is set in modern times (aka youtube, tiktok stuff is mentioned.) Frank and Ray work in a record store, and one day a tall pale man named Mikey asks to get hired for their night shift, and mentions having a brother with a chronic illness. He gets hired right away! One night, Frank goes to a haunted mansion, and there was Dracula working there, scaring guests...and he was really hot?! He comes back another night just to ask him out, and it's the start of something new! Personal Thoughts: Gosh this was a cute one too! I don't particularly seek out vampire stories, but this one also had a unique spin! Gerard and Frank's relationship is more angsty fluff, but it's so good!! I don't want to spoil much else, so that's all I've got to say! This is another one that's safe for the no-smut enjoyers.

I am not the Phoenix that you wanted by GhostintheBathroom & Xygenscenic
Rating: Explicit (the first chapter has smut, then it cools down for most of the fic with smut sprinkled in more sparsely) Pairings: Patrick/Pete from FOB; Frerard and Ray/Mikey Main POVs: Various Are They MCR?: Yes and so is Fall Out Boy. AU story still! Status: Completed with 18 chapters and 98k words. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1659725 My Summary: SO this one is unique, it’s actually a Fall Out Boy / MCR / Danger Days crossover. FOB’s Patrick and Pete have an unhealthy relationship; Pete is always on and off with his current girlfriend, while also taking Patrick to his bed. One day, they are taken to the future of California in 2019, where they meet the Killjoys of Danger Days! Time-travel, dimension hopping, fighting hot babes who want to kill them. Courtney Love is somehow involved in all of this as well. This fic is a wild ride from start to finish! Personal Thoughts: This fic isn’t a pure MCR fic, if anything it focuses more on FOB’s Pete and Patrick, which is why I put this as my last fic rec. I still added it to my recommendation list cus it’s honestly one of the craziest, most unique plots I’ve seen in a while. I gave this story a chance despite me not being super familiar with FOB, and glad I did. The plot is absurd but somehow still able to keep its focus, the villains and overall premise are hilarious, and the way they tie together MCR and Danger Days is super unique. Give this story a read if you wanna have a great laugh and go through an emotional rollercoaster as well. The amount of times I laughed or gasped at certain reveals, really got me excited to recommend this one. My summary is super vague cus I don’t want to spoil the absurdity of some plot twists and reveals haha.
-------------------------
Overall thoughts on this section:
This collection of fics were a super entertaining read. I honestly started out being weirded out by rpf fics of the band, but I quickly was able to suspend my disbelief and enjoy these stories as their own separate thing. AUs save the day once more! It might have helped that MCR as people have changed a lot since then, and they feel like a separate entity from their past selves. I also read so many of these that their irl names don't bother me anymore thanks to exposure therapy lmao!
-------------------------
That concludes my MCR fic list!
Thank you so so much for reading, this took me a few weeks to work on and I'm so happy to finally be free from my shackles! I am still actively reading new mcr fics, probably until I get super sick of them like I did with ffxiv fics a few months prior. If you read this whole thing you're a trooper. I'm saved. I'm FREE!!
In conclusion: Thank you to the Danger Days album for starting this all; Frerard is an awesome dynamic for slash fiction; Frikey is so cute and underrated but is growing on AO3 from what I've seen; mildly embarrassed to admit I read mcr smut now; I'm cringe and I'm free; I know I'm having my teenager mcr fan phase at age 28 but I don't care! Anyways, enough yapping. Now I rest, thank you again!

like i'm all about critiquing the execution of 03's ending and how sloppy cos is as an actual conclusion bc there's stuff that can be excused (the rushed production and cancelled final season and how little time/money they had and how much stress they were under) and stuff that can't (i love terminarcher objectively but it is deeply silly; winry's arc should have been concluded; imo it could have been executed better as much as i love the themes and ever since i learned of the original plan to finish the show in liore again i have been dying about it; cos is frankly a disaster on the amestrian side and nothing about the way it treats roy and riza makes sense except that the military are fan favourites who HAD to be in the big budget shounen movie)
but you cannot, for the love of everything holy, tell me with a straight face that manga/brotherhood's ending is better, nevermind perfect. like is it all tied up neatly. yes it is and herein lies the issue, again, bc it's so desperate to be a good happy ever after for everyone that it chooses to ignores the most vile implications of many characters' fates and plot threads' endings just so the Designated Good Guys can get domestic married and roy can be a benevolent military dictator. i've even seen people say that bh's ending inherently values winry more because she gets married to ed and settles and has babies with him. and yknow for how fucking messy the ending of 03 is, and how much of a weird mixed bag of a follow-up cos is too, for how out of context it SOUNDS weird but really if you've actually been following the plot and themes it fits perfectly, the ending to 03 is actually thematically coherent with its themes from the very beginning and drives home all its most salient points as hard as it can.
like sure the ending to brotherhood is much simpler and effective but you think about it for more than like five minutes and want to throw up. roy uses the souls of ishbalans to heal his eyes and becomes the fucking führer. ed and al have done nothing wrong ever. all the evil of the amestrian military comes from this Big Alien Bad Guy who Just Felt Powerless and when he's gone amestris is now a benevolent society that just happens to use ishbal as a frontier colony. scar wails and sobs about how evil he was for killing the people who actively participated in the genocide of his people while being scowled by an amestrian soldier. winry gets a domestic het ending. ling is gonna be cool emperor now and i guess mei can just deal with it. did any of the women ever really matter bc i keep being told brotherhood is a feminist masterpiece but what do any of them do besides return to the status quo with their boyfriend/husband/master or get domesticated and then olivier keeps being a fascist girlboss i guess. yay happy ending and don't you dare think about it deep it's not THAT deep, says the same crowd that calls og fma an anti imperialist masterpiece and a perfect series
meanwhile no matter how much 03 stumbles it legitimately feels like it's taking a look at all of these contradictions within the manga and slowly strangles them to death while looking you dead in the eye. THERE IS NO WAR THAT DOES NOT CONCERN US, ALCHEMY AND YOUR VISION OF PROGRESS ARE BASED ON MASS DEATH AND ATROCITIES, YOU CANT SAVE THE WORLD SINGLE HANDEDLY BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT FACING THAT WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS AND STILL CHOOSING TO TRY TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BETTER. and then i have to hear all about how grimdark and supposedly lacking in hope it is when it literally ends on the realization that you cannot separate yourself from the world or ignore its issues you have a duty to it and it is bigger than your dreams or selfishness. anyhow

Well, what can I say about my feelings after LiS:DE...
First of all... I still believe in the Chaseprice supremacy, yay!!! Even tho I didn't get the same impression of flirting in their conversation in the comments as the others😅 But at least they talked! My faves since 1st game! What a blessing to a shipper!
2) Thanks for the Caulscott content — not in the ways we as the MxN shippers could ever expect, but still🤣🤝 I just knew one of the D9 crew is one of us since that little background scene in BTS — what can I say, hinting twice (if not thrice) is almost canon to me🤪😁🤭
3) Vinh, freaking, Lang... The moment I saw Vinh in the sneak-peak before the release I predicted him to be the male love interest😜 I'm so grateful I was right — their progressing relationship was so beautiful... Even though their kiss was shorter than the kiss with Amanda, but damn... butterflies in my stomach were enough to say it was one of the most romantic scenes in the whole franchise. And the way he didn't want her to leave? Oh, my man, she has a way with leaving her almost boyfriends after kisses😭 And how happy he is after the game events when he finally sees her? And their hug? I'll never recover... I also believe in the DE Langfield supremacy, their interactions were absolutely one of the best parts of the game for me!!!
4) The pretty barista I didn't expect to love❤ I liked Amanda somehow, but I don't see her with Max at all... I'll say a very controversial thing, but the girl deserves so much better than Max😃 I would rather ship Ms Thomas with Ms Chen, and yet — they have some very nice scenes together. But even as a die-hard Caulscott shipper I'll say that Pricefield>>>Caulmas, especially after the way D9 just pushed the romance with her from the very first scene... The pushing was so cringy that I literally thought I would never like Amanda🤔 But here we are! She is fun and I love her, so she's my girlfriend, not Max's, okay?
5) Safi and Moses!!! Ooh, I loved them so much💔 Didn't like what they did to Safi by the end of the game, but she's a very great character besides all the other shit. And Moses is simply one of the best characters in the franchise, beat me. And his friendship with Safi is sooo dear to me🥺 Tbh, I expected much more from his role in the game and I believed at some point that he was helplessly in love with Safi. Not sure if this is for the best it turned out absolutely differently... And IMO Max x Safi/Max x Moses still have a better chemistry (even as a friends) than she and Amanda romantically😅 But there were definitely some sparks with Safield, yeaaah (it's very funny btw that it's the only sounding acceptable name of their ship, lmao)
6) The plot... What plot? Was it there? I missed it? Ah, it was so little and hasty it didn't deserve to become a BIG game... And yet! The game was much better in some ways I didn't expect, and so much worse at the same time((( There were some great ideas I truly liked, because they resonate with some of mine, but all the same they were ruined by some plotholes and inconsistencies — ooh, disappointment is strong here. But overall I liked the game! The music — one of the best parts of the finished product indeed🔥 The narrative was very lazy in the start and too rushed in the end, and it was the main reason what ruined the full experience to me😟 As for the characters... Well, most of them were cool, but there are so few of them comparing to the previous games. I honestly expected more of them, or at least more interactions with them... But let's end here!) Even if the plot wasn't perfect, there were plenty of moments I truly enjoyed.
7) The whole Chloe thing. I didn't expect much from the start (and I mean announcement), but was quite surprised we didn't saw her in the game besides photos. Breakup wasn't unexpected for me, but I suppose I can understand the feelings of the die-hard MxC fans. I won't say that I'm fully on their side, but still I understand what it's like🙏 And btw I had no problem with revoicing her by Rhianna since announcement, but... um... Something went strongly wrong — I absolutely fell in love with her work in BtS, and was absolutely shocked with what I've heard in DE🤯 She doesn't even sounds like herself((( What they did with her..? And why did she sound so emotionless? It was the only disappointing thing with Chloe for me. But perhaps there was some reason, if some theories will turn out to be true, who knows... But her haunting the narrative in the start and in the end was delightful in some ways, I won't lie.
8) The whole NOTMYMAX thing. Well, I can agree with some statments, but I do not see anything contradictory in her actions or her design. Even if it's Max-fkn-Caulfield, it doesn't make her less human and does not forbid her to grow and change, and especially doesn't forbid to become more serious and pathetic at the same time😃😆 Aaaand... Jesus Christ, Hannah Telle gave a simply outstanding performance — I missed her so much💔💔💔 Her returning to Max is also one of the best parts of the game and it's so heart-warming that her voice hasn't change at all🥺 And in the end: the bisexual queen returned — Max still is so Max it made me involuntarily smile throughout the game)))
I can endlessly speak of everything I think about the game, but there's so much to say I won't say no more at all😆😆 But all cringe and weak plotlines aside, some sides of DE were really great to explore! And since I'm more of an optimist, I will not rate the game just to not upset myself🤣
#life is strange#lis#life is strange double exposure#lis de#max caulfield#caulscott#vinh lang#langfield#amanda thomas#caulmas#moses murphy#safi llewellyn fayyad#safield#vinh x max#max x vinh#safi x max#max x safi#nathan x max#max x nathan#chloe price#victoria x chloe#chloe x victoria#chaseprice#victoria chase#nye lis thoughts

i am a starving child and am requesting kyman fanfics to soothe my hunger (PLS recommend ME SOME)
OMG YAY SOMEBODY ASKED ME SMTH IM SO HAPPY AMSBSDB
Unfortunately I'm a green and inexperienced mother but I'll do my best!! (thisll be long as i cant keep from waxing poetic about fics i like)-
The love of my life and one of the best things I've had the pleasure of reading period is “Know your Enemy” by Elsen. It's beyond perfect to me enough so that even though it may never be finished I'm sort of satisfied. Eric's characterisation is beautiful and literally just as hilarious as in the show itself with the way he schemes and jumps over nonsensical hoops in his head in order to satisfy his self image in processing his feelings for Kyle and unwitting desires to submit to him. The plot and setting in and of themselves also somehow complement his absurdity. Also has just the right amount of perversion. (Okay I'm done sorry)
Another genius Cartman channelfic that I was audibly giggling at due to the insanity of his mental gymnastics is "I crush everything" by Rainbow_Convection which is quite short and mainly deals with him "processing" his feelings
(The above person is really good at writing compellingly about manic impulses and emotions so check out their other fics too)
On a similar note and also exploring implications of Cartmans outright deluded conscious, this time through Kyle's perspective, is 'Imaginationland 4: a tale of two Kyles' by Sinshipsahoy where it's revealed to Kyle (in increasingly horrifying ways) that Cartman's mind is (literally) swarming with him.
(This guy also has a worryingly well written corpse desecration fic so if that's your cup of tea)
In the 'I'm with Stupid' series by numbknee Eric gets together with Kyle and is annoying and fiercely loveable and everything's great until Kyle realises that sadly Cartman's views on relationships/love in general- but especially with Kyle, his 'enemy'- had been significantly skewed from the start due to an aversion to vulnerability, stunting their progress. I especially like the fourth and last fic/chapter.
Kinda depressing but in 'Sharing Last Names' by serpenrzbreath an adult Cartman's Kyle obsession is partly due to lamenting, while in the depths of denial, his own collosal wasted potential as over the years wasted rotting and room-bound due to severe mental instability but also just lack of trying, one of the only things grounding his shame is Kyle's comparative success, and when a time of reckoning comes an unwilling(?) Kyle is all he feels like turning to. However he soon learns that pity and concern is much more confusing and enraging than ire.
Some more Kyle focused fics are
'Love and the other thing' by Gumdroppy where we get an equal amount of Kyle and Eric perspective- Kyle who revealed his love for Eric as a kid first and loves Eric WAY too much for his own good(to the point where his friends feel the need to take measures to ensure his best interests) and Eric who perhaps fell harder- worships the ground Kyle walks on- but can't seem to help the kneejerk hurt and abuse that flows from his hands. Bonus points for jealous Stan and Kenny being an angel.
Ans also by Elsen 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let My Mortal Enemy Eat My Ass' which is really hot with a compelling theme of overcoming Kyle's past trama what can I say
'It's basically a weird cat, right?' By Verimakea is a adorable fic about adult Kyle who by chance meets Eric in raccoon form(and then not-so-raccoon form) in which Cartman has separation issues and Kyle is forced to battle loneliness and incteasing mildly worrying feelings for this addition to his life.
Some other concepts:
'Baby, Just Say Yes' by shortstackedcheesecake96- a beautiful wonderful fic where the palpable chemistry between a (surprisingly earnest about the subject and a talented actor) Cartman and (quite good novice) Kyle get cast as Juliet and Romeo respectively. There's so much compelling teenage awkwardness where they both appear to be unwillingly drawn to each other despite everything in ways they feel they really shouldn't- Kyle especially is almost embarrassingly captivated by an Eric in his element- and it's such a pleasure to read; just thinking about some scenes has me wanting to reread it lmao.
(This writer also has a lot of enticing and well-written smut too)
'Fake it 'till you make it' by mewtwos is another fic I hold so so close to my heart in which Kyle and Eric have to fake date for a bit, until they realise that these fake displays of affection draw them in a little bit too hard; make them a bit too lightheaded, and by that point the reel has already been cast. It's insanely well written.
'Expertise' by Mewtwos where Eric is a little too eager to practice kissing with kyle and they have a little awakening
'To Be Wanted' by Verimakea- a Cowboy au where Kyle takes it upon himself to capture Wanted Sheriff Cartman, but things quickly gp array and they and up stuck together in one place for an indeterminate amount of time, with Kyle put in a position where he often has bo choice but to rely on the other. This writer is seriously skilled at painting subtly erotic/suggestive imagery, and writing complex emotions into characters through their actions so its quite the fun leg-kicking read lol.
'Copacabana' by Senkenwoo is a bittersweet fic about jaded middle aged retired performer Kyle recalling how he lost his charming and endearingly annoying bartender lover
Some unconventional smut cus y not:
'Laid To Rest' by gosh_zillah in which Kyle has a deep seated desire to be a cocksleeve and subsequently gets watched in his sleep by an enthralled little audience for a bit(among other things as he proves to be quite perceptive lol)
"You're in his DMs? i'm in his walls, we are not the same" by ratherblue - Eric watches Kyle have smexy times thru a hidden camera; implied mutual pining. Also Kyle's trans
'Cause I'm a free bitch, baby' by knumbknee where Kyle sees an Eric in proper drag for the first time and is transfixed
'sleep tight' by bloodylamb is a quirky little sleepover somnophillia fic where Kyle's mildly vocal about his Eric-disposition in his sleep if you're good with dubcon.
I'm sure you weren't expecting to be waterboarded by text and for this I apologise
#kyman#kyman fanfiction#its long i know#i will swear up and down for these fics tho#and these writers#there are probably loads of great ones i have yet to read#south park#its not 4am anymore so i fixed it lol

Daima thoughts:
- WHY DO THEY KEEP ANIMATING DEGESU SO HOT!? Do I just like the pathetic man trope 😳 No seriously is it just me or is his animation slightly different and just better??
- Degesu and Gomah need to ACT ALREADY theyre literally just watching DBZ with us
- I love how kid Vegeta is animated and when he's silly. The whole transformation thing was whatever to me because it actually annoys me seeing Vegeta get the upper hand and immediately act morally superior because of it (I just don't like that trope) (GOHAN IS DIFFERENT OKAY he has INNER TERMOIL) but the silly antics afterwards were the Vegeta I love. I'm just tired of Bulma always cheerleading him. Let Goku be the primary cheerleader!
- PLOT IS PROGRESSING! YAY! All dragon balls were found (2 by gang, 1 by Arinsu), wonder what now? What will my pathetic beloved man Degesu do??
- I'm shocked at how much I love Kuu. When he appeared I rolled my eyes and went "great, another gag villain" but actually his personality is really endearing especially when he's calmer. In today's episode he really blew me away. I wonder what the Kuu Duu combination will be like. Maybe they'll fuse idk???
- I LOVE ARINSU 😍 That's it that's the whole thought

Okay buckle up, i’m gonna write my thoughts as i go. So this is gonna be a long one and my english is so ass here as well ( omg i got carried away)
Right off the bat, the intro alone is really intriguing and makes me curious for more. You wrote it so well to the extent that I could feel the weight of the atmosphere, and what’s at stake here. When i first read it i said damn i gotta know more about what’s going on, like right now. You really did a great job on doing that.
Ch.01: woah what a way to make us get into the MC’s head and feel for her. Your description of the wedding day is phenomenal, every detail tells a story, a feeling, and can i say foreshadowing into the rest of the story(?). I’m in love with your writing already.
Wow the first interaction scene with the couple just tells me all i need to know about their relationship ( didn’t mean to nitpick every detail sorry lol ).
I LOVED the living room scene so much. Your writing made feel like i was present in it. It feels so domestic, so cozy like there isn’t any worries in the world (except for the ex flashback) and speaking of her i hate that woman already.
She is so manipulative it’s crazy, poor SH he doesn’t deserve that. The story about his passion is so sad :( i was so happy when he joined her for breakfast, yay progress. But still hella mad that he’s still contacting his ex and her name in his phone is “true wife”?!?!!?!!!! Hello excuse me sir?!?!! The ending? What secrets girl don’t tease me like that =_=
Ch.02: did i say that i love the MC so much (?) because I do. Aww can they just stay like that forever? no disturbance or distractions from the outside world🤚🏼
Oh, she herself is still in love with someone else. What a plot twist, this is gonna be a hella of a ride. Hey i need to know the mom’s backstory. It’s clear that behind her gentle demeanour is a scarred past.
I just can’t help but compliment your writing in each segment and throughout of the story, the writing techniques that you’re using to guide the reader’s stream of thoughts into a certain direction and wonder about all the questions that need to be asked are truly exceptional. With all that said, SH please stop being horny 🤚🏼
oh the ex fiancé i knew that this cunt is the one who’s been selling him the drugs ㅜㅡㅜ. They are so cute help(?) and thank god you included what happened to the food that has been left in the oven, because I was worried too much about it lol. Oh so Jiwon is the name i see. “No, she’s not better than you. And yes, I still love you.” ??Ummm fuck you(?). What she’s literally makes him addicted to her by making him an actual addict, helllo she’s a literal psychopath she’s insane.
I don’t know if this small or big, but I like how you added the mc’s relationship with food into her characteristics. Like how she doesn’t eat when she’s upset for example. It adds depth into her character.
OMG OMG Sunoo mentioned im over the moon write now. Ps: i love how it’s always HIS house not OUR house, dictating the status of their relationship right now.
Ch.03: she’s just like me for real; jobless and bored out of my mind. Hot take: bathtubs are only for relaxing not for actually cleaning ㅁㅅㅁ.
“ imagining how Sunghoon’s slender fingers could probably do a better job of washing your hair than that stupid tool, reaching all the spots you can’t quite get to.” Help I didn’t know i was this dirty minded. The bathtub scene is so detailed, i felt like i was in there invading her privacy 😭.
SH get it together man *sigh*. I feel like I’m being crushed by the thick tension in this bathroom, am i interrupting something? The longing and the yearning , lord just ditch those stupid exes of yours both of you and cave in to your desires you’ll be doing everyone a favour.
Oh he’s the one inviting her to the basketball time? And now to a restaurant? They’re improving so much i love that for them. Again i love how much attention is given to every single detail, each scene is so descriptive. It helps paint an unmistakable clear picture of what’s going. Making feel like we are present in the moment with our characters.
How is it that they desire each other but at the same time thinking about other people in each other’s presence?
So… i still haven’t processed the fact of Ni-ki being her ex.
The scene with Jake is so touching :( at first I was like hello read the room (?) but it turns to be the most wholesome moment, and clearly SH needed that. It’s so heart warming. Oh Jiwon when i catch you bitch, how much of a psycho can someone be? Poor Sunghoon, he didn’t deserve any of that. Aww him sitting in the middle is so adorable like boy you’re not so slick.
OH MY GOD??!!??! My jaw was on the floor the whole time he was telling the story about Jiwon. She was HITTING HIM? HITTING?!!!??!!!! He was getting physically abused too oh lordddd. This scene is so emotional. Gurl you just stabbed me in the heart. It’s so beautiful and i’m once again amazed by your writing. Your ability to provoke deep emotions is unquestionable.
So my hunch is correct she IS DRUGGING HIM. The arm swing that will be coming at her when i catch her, she will not be able to remember her own name.
“Frustrated? Like sexually, or in general?” Hold your horses young man behave yourself 🤚🏼🤚🏼
Oh boy so we are self-sabotaging now? Jiwon mange to destroy every situation without needing to be there, her existence haunts every corner of this house and this relationship.
Ch.04: i love your similes and metaphors, i enjoy them so much. The restlessness and the uneasiness that are roaming all around the air of this scene, carry unbearable weight. Oof this angst is so darn good.
MC’s room sounds like a dream, exactly how I imagine my room would. It just happened to be that brown and green are my favourite colours ( no one asked ).
Um excuse me sir? What are doing right now? You can just seduce someone into forgiving you. I like but be for real right now 😭 so you’re both just horny and starved people huh. Okay when they snuggled together and he wakes up so peacefully in the morning :( that was adorable and again I feel like I’m interrupting something. Just quit resisting and give each other a chance seriously.
Wait a god damn minute, Riki was a HUSBAND not a boyfriend?!)! I’m gagged. Why do i get the feeling that he’s dead?
They should have the “ what are we” talk because this feels like a situationship.
“His presence now engraved in your sheets.” Girl you are a poet i’m just gonna leave it at that.
Oh lord i wish i was wrong :( the immense grief that i felt when she mentioned the cemetery. How he’s memories were recalled in small fragments throughout the story, gave this overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and longing. It’s like trying to gather threads of fleeting ghostly(ironically) moments. Her monologue is devastating, I cried a little not gonna lie.
I’m glad yn and sh found each other. Poor babies they’re both broken kids who don’t deserve the evil they were subjected to. I’m touched by how he encouraged her to speak of the good memories of Ni-ki. Honouring the dead is remembering them. This scene is truly truly beautiful and special.
Girl drop those makeup products names i need them🤚🏼 do the pictures describe what he looks like on the date? Because id that’s the case im barking.
Hellllooooo they are finally having their first kiss? And it’s the most romantic thing ever? I thought their first kiss would be the one from the intro.
I read the name Jiwon and sighed not kidding.
Ch.05: noo I don’t want this to end :(
They so precious i love them and their moments ( before that cunt Jiwon will come and try to ruin everything) and i hope his dad dies in that hospital, not even sorry.
“I want to talk” i love how he became more open and more comfortable to share the content of his heart <3
Wow Jiwon every time I thought you couldn’t get any lower, you just do exactly that. You are falling in a bottomless well, there is no limit to how low you can go.
Oooh the scene from the intro is finally here. You are so sneaky you changed the direction of what the event was going huh. So ji shows up immediately after their first fuck? How did she know. And dummy dumb dumb sunghoon just eats what she brought?!?! Please sir some critical thinking over here. So I’m uncomfortable by this exchange. Woah i was under the assumption that Sunghoon knew about his mom and yn’s relationship, never realizing it was never mentioned. And she literally lied to him omg this revolutionary. Poor Sunghoon he can’t catch a break :(
Okay okay he’s also hiding things from. Bump the breaks for a second this scene is heavy. “I hope you're happy. You’ve finally done what you wanted. He’s all yours.” Opps careful now, you just stabbed me again :)
Yes men on their knees. I like a man who begs 😛🤚🏼
Phew 😮💨 a happy ending thank god. Girl you scared me there for a second i thought for real that they will separate with no going back. Anyway, the last scene is so so beautiful I can’t even begin to describe it. These two lovely puppies reunited, where they both can be happy in each other’s embrace. They deserve all the happiness in the world, and i can’t lie I grew attached to them. I want to protect them forever and shield them from the cruel world.
So i never being this intrigued and immersed into a series before. I quite literally binge read this story for HOURS, just couldn’t stop reading. Morgana, your writing without exaggeration is one of the best writing styles ever. Your choice of words, how beautiful your descriptions are. You’re a true talent, your words carry the beauty of poetry. Your writing technique, your metaphors, your foreshadowing, your narration and your visual storytelling are all captivating and intriguing. That how i was hooked to continue reading without ever stopping. I felt like i was held physically unable to resist. You have the skills to publish a whole novel. Not only there was excitement and anticipation, but also joy, sadness, empathy, grief and distraught. You captured every single emotion and made sure to make us feel it too. I think no matter how much I say I can’t give you justice. So all can say from now is please don’t ever stop writing, keep nurturing your talent even forever. Have a nice day 🤎🤎🤎
side not: it didn’t even let me copy and paste this to your dm lmaaao
Okay, i literally had to wait a few moments before writing this, because I was crying. I don't know if you realize how much you've touched my heart with all of this. This is literally a dream come true, someone analyzing every single detail, thinking about the nuances in the story, and then TELLING ME???
I always want to interact with the people that read my stuff, because I'm curious to know what they thought about that specific phrase or moment. It gets me going, you know?
And you understood every single detail, you were so smart to understand things so fast... I want to say more but I'm literally in loss of words. I can't explain how much this has made me happy! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
(here are some comments about your comments)
Like i remember putting Jiwon's contact name as 'true wife' because I wanted to see your guys's opinion on it because he was obviously being a meanie and your comment made me laugh so much.
About the wedding day, I tried to write as detailed as possible because I wanted to show how much that day marked the reader!!!
ABOUT THE FOOD IN OVEN!!!!!! I was writing the scene and was like WAIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE FOOD I can't let it happen, the food needs to be saved somehow. Thank you for noticing that haha!
The bathroom scene was so important to the story and to me, it took me two days to write! So I'm so glad that it really felt uncomfortable to read since there was so much tension. That was the goal.
Also, what you said is not a hot take hun........ because I agree... its literally my favorite part of the day, to have a shower/bathe.
The Jake scene was supposed to be longer (?) like in my head, I imagined wayyyyy more stuff. Like I wanted to include him talking about his wife, and how being married is fun because they have a lot of sex. And Jake turns to Hoon like: "Don't you agree?" And Sunghoon getting all red because he had the reader didn't do it. But the reader is slick, so she is like "yeah, Sunghoon is really good with his hands" while she was talking about him washing her hair, Jake doesn't know!!! But the chapter was soooo longgggg I opted to not add.
Also, yeah the part where she was hitting him... I wasn't sure if I should add it, because I was afraid it would be too much. But this story was supposed to be uncomfortable, so I added it. Im sorry you cried, but that was exactly my goal ;)
ABOUT HER BEDROOM, I wanted it to be a calm place, so was like... maybe green? AND GREEN IS LITERALLY MY FAV COLOR so added it (yes it was a bit biased) and I'm glad I hit the spot with that!!
Nah because the scene where he goes to apologize wasn't supposed to be horny but I was listening to Journals by Justin Bieber and 'hold tight' started playing and I just went with the flow ahhahaha.
I READ YOUR COMMENT LIKE "Why do i get the feeling that he’s dead?" AND I STARTED LAUGHING!! Im sorry tho, I know it was very sad. I cried while writing it because it was emotional even to me.
(I feel like I've made an emotional connection to Sunghoon and the Reader of this story......)
About this "I’m touched by how he encouraged her to speak of the good memories of Ni-ki. Honoring the dead is remembering them. This scene is truly truly beautiful and special." I really wanted to emphasize that after all that happened to Sunghoon, even though he was hurt and depressed, he never stopped having a loving heart. And also, that he was learning with the reader to be patient and kind to the one he loved.
All the pictures kind of show how Sunghoon was feeling in each chapter and yes, he looked like that ;)
AHHHH YOU NOTICED THAT I MADE THEIR FIRST KISS BE DIFFERENT FROM THE INTRO!!!
THE WAY YOU NOTICED THAT I FINALLY ADDED THE INTRO SCENE MADE ME SO HAPPY!! Because no one seemed to notice, or at least say anything :( Yes, I added it because I felt like it was an important scene. But I didn't want it to feel repetitive so I tried to keep the original tone, but change it a little to fit the chapter's goals. Thank you for noticing :( <3
"Yes, men on their knees. I like a man who begs 😛🤚🏼" He needed to be on his knees to show how much he didn't want her to go hahah
"They deserve all the happiness in the world, and i can’t lie I grew attached to them. I want to protect them forever and shield them from the cruel world." That is exactly how I feel!!!!!! And I'm so glad you feel it too, because damn, now that I think about it, they had such a hard life, they deserve some calm love. They deserve each other so much:((((
That last paragraph... I'm so touched that my story made you feel all of this, and write all of this. Thank you so much, for noticing everything, and thank you for all of those compliments, really. I will continue to work hard and write a lot, so please, stay around!
I'm currently having AN AMAZING day, thanks to YOU! <3 Thank you so so much, once again.
ALSO LETS BE FRIENDS??????
#enhypen#enha#sunghoon#your sweet love#morgana asks#I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA#I cant think of anything else to write because im so overwhelmed with happiness#but if something comes to mind I will reblogg it and add!

tips on enemies to lovers? two types the fun enemies to lovers and 'enemies' to lovers where they kill each other
my favorite bitch in town oh i love this.
let's kill this dead
haha like the enemies to lovers get it get it. teehee.
'hate sex' enemies to lovers vs 'fuck that's a knife' enemies to lovers
different vibes, y'all! I covered a lot of this in my romantic tension post here but I am happy to elaborate with specific examples.
For the more intense like i'm-gonna-murder-you enemies to lovers, there has to be a Big Fat Reason. Like, the whole family rivals or best friend's ex kinda deal isn't gonna cut it. I mean there needs to be a huuuggge antagonizing point to validate this hatred.
Pure hatred for another person is insanely layered. There are so many avenues you can take with this - use as many as you can (or that make sense). A common reason for enemies to lovers to feel shallow or boring is when the tension isn't very tense. When you want as shocking and compelling a transformation as this, you really need to work the tension.
Also don't rush it. If you put a lot of effort into the binding tension and frustration and then blow it because you were tired of waiting....like, what are you even doing. THE WAITING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING!! it can be interesting too!!
push and pull. give and take. make a little progress, then step back. more progress, another step back. It's a much more realistic process for two reluctant lovers than pure hatred, one flirtatious conversation and then explosive fucking for ten pages. like, yay you just ended the story ig. woohoo.
think about the process!!
'hate sex' enemies to lovers
what I mean by this is the stakes are comparably low, and it's more of a repressed-feelings-sassy-banter-flirting kind of enemies. not like your head on my wall enemies. still enjoyable! and doesn't always have to be the 'shallow' trope.
The goal I have in mind is to make the readers frustrated. The obstacle is probably easily overcome, but because of the emotional constipation of the characters, they keep getting stuck. The readers should be tearing their hair out, begging for them to make up.
This is a really impactful opportunity for some emotional turmoil. Emotional turmoil is all internal, so it's up to the character to overcome it. If Emma is fighting her attraction for Jesse because she's struggling with her sense of pride and self-worth, that's a frustratingly relatable problem that really draws the readers in.
something like 'oh they want to fuck but they won't because they just keep arguing' is boring as fuck. Saltine Plot. nothing should ever be 'just because.' there needs to be something that ties the characters to the problem.
overall
enemies to lovers is a golden trope for a reason. it examines two very visceral emotions - hate and lust. both of those emotions have a lot of potential that aren't just banter and hate sex. seriously, check out my main post for this, it'll help!

I love hermitcraft, obviously, my main blog is dedicated to them specifically
Hermit seasons I’ve seen
Season 3-the start of something great, while not best as big in scale as later seasons, the hermits focus more on community events pranks etc. 7/10
Season 4- everyone settling on or around the mesa biome made the world seem far more connected, and the introduction of the shopping district made for great interactions 8/10
Season 5- while most episodes were focused on one hermits project and the vast majority of the series felt like single player, with exception to some of the convex stuff and other collaborations. season 5 also featured some of the craziest, large scale building projects to date. tangos base, scar, cubs color wonderland, Mumbo Xisuma and everyone’s base easily make season 5 amazing, albeit living up to “hermit” part of hermitcraft. 7/10
Season 6- you know why this is here. The introduction of Grian, the Architechs, Sahara. Really solidifying Hermitcraft where it is today. While I didn’t follow most of the major plot lines at the moment, all that they did for Tag, the Prank War, Star vs G team, Area 77 and the 1.14 area, the mini games, and Demise, truly a great season. 9/10
Season 7- any complaint on season 6 is non existent in season 6. season 6 was too long, well season 7 while being slightly shorter does not overstay its welcome, it relishes in its quick pace, quickly after starting the shopping district we get the headhunt, the diamond pile being strung in, without effort. Hermit challenges being one of the most bizarre and funniest things I’ve ever seen
Interactions? Season 7 has them in spades hearts and diamonds- did I say diamonds? Oh yeah the diamond throne being the centerpiece for the mayor campaign over the shopping district being equal parts hilarious and absolutely the best thing I have ever seen in hermitcraft. The other plots are just as engaging, as Grian builds up his barge, until the mycelium restitance really gets going.
Also bases?? You liked the great bases from season 5? Go check out False castle, Grians mansion, Scars forest and mining base, literally Cub the desert king, spent his entire season for his base to look like a chunk error on a map. I could go on…. The pace, the interactions, it is just perfect 11/10
Season 8- everything great about season 7, but turned up to 11, the jungle bros from season 7, but now they share their base. Boatem being entirely too cursed as the season progresses . While the short season may feel like a cop out, the short duration makes every episode feel more and more hectic, the boat war with Tango, evil X returning, the Octagon rivalry, just amazing. Especially moon big. What a concept the only possibly bad thing was it being a short season 9/10
Season 9- I have watched very little of season 9, yay being in another country for two years ….. but solid hijinks 8/10

If buddie becomes canon this season will I be happy? Yes.
Will I be excited? No.
Why? Because neither of the characters have actually changed or grew over the last 8 seasons.
8 YEARS! And Buck is still an un-developed man-child. He died, found growth in a coma dream, then reverted back when the network decided that BUDDIE WILL NOT BE CANON???? How is a personal growth defined by who the person's LI is supposed to be???
Eddie has dealt with his traumas and grew only to have that snatched away from him by bad writing. By finding solace in a hardware store and getting a beard bg gf then "cheating" on her with the living GHOST OF HIS EX WIFE???
All the while Evan (and I'm using that name on purpose) dreamed in his coma that Eddie is losing Chris to his parents? But I thought TM didn't want KR's storyline, so make up your mind.
Eddie made peace with his dad, but for the sake of "the plot" his sweet tempered, loving kid, chose to live with his grandparents over one incident, thus ruining any progress Eddie's story with his dad had and almost effectively erasing a developed loving and understanding relationship between Eddie and his son.
At this point we are back at square one, only difference is that Buck is a bi-manchild.
So as far as I'm concerned, if a miracle does happen and buddie is going canon, it is too little too late. And mentally, not one of the characters is ready for a mature relationship at the moment, and they both are freaking well supposed to be 8 SEASONS LATER!
So congrats, buddie may become canon, but it means very little, the waters are already muddied, and if I'm completely honest after the 7x04 fiasco and everything that followed, if Buck doesn't show some real growth and change in the meagre time remaining in S8b, Eddie actually deserves better than to raise an overgrown kid who is not his especially when he has a stubborn resentful teenager on his hands already.
So yay, buddie may become canon, but really, not exciting anymore.

what the hell is Going to Maine and who the hell are J and Beck? or, a primer for my ocs that you've been seeing me talk about :-)
the setting: university of south florida
our players:
J (Jenny Boyd) • they/them (he/she) • 20 • sophmore exuberant english major. has a brightly dyed mullet, is a big stompy boots wearer, and you are unlikely to see them not wearing either a homemade tank top, or a battle jacket. skateboarder of debatable skill. actually a pretty big nerd, but they won't tell you that. (there will be signs, though).
Beck Hammond • he/they • 43 • professor thoughtful, introverted, & nerdy shakespeare professor. long hair, glasses, dresses smart casual on days he's teaching (jeans and button ups, mostly). has a long time partner, but is becoming bored/uncomfortable with their relationship. video game enthusiast. fond of sci-fi & fantasy. writing a book in his spare time.
Cade Dalgaard • he/him • 21 • junior a strong and silent type punk. short, but makes up for it with a giant fan mohawk. has sick patch pants. seems intimidating, but is a big softie. really dry humor. a friend of J's from shakespeare class. has a will they/won't they thing going on with Kota.
Kota Takahashi • they/them • 20 • sophmore extremely dramatic theatre major. very silly, outgoing (matches J's silly to a dangerous extent). wolf cut, dresses retro/artsy, likes to wear different colored contacts for funsies. J's best friend (they met online in highschool and decided to go to college together). skateboarder of an actually decent skill.
the rough plot outline is this:
j thinks they're late for their first day of classes, is NOT looking where they're going when they're skating to class, and they accidentally totally bowl over a really hot person on their way there. they stop, help pick of mysterious hot person's books (wow, that's a lot of shakespeare), and then run off to try and make it to class. J makes it to class on time (yay!). then, mysterious hot person they bowled over earlier walks in. Oh shit, hot person i skateboarded over is my professor? whatever, i guess, i'll be normal about this. (spoiler alert. J is NOT normal about this). anyways, as the semesters go on, J ends up getting closer and closer with Beck. (J goes to a looooot of office hours). eventually Beck ends up pretty much just letting J hang around his office to chat at random times. the tl;dr is they move from just a professor and their dedicated student to actual friends, and then eventually from friends to having a full blown affair.
Eventually, something will happen that means J+Beck get found out, or J and Beck will realize that what they're doing is unsustainable. Because they are in love, and crazy, J will suggest "fuck it, let's blow this place and run away to Maine together". And because Beck is equally in love and crazy, (after some time to think), he will agree to doing this. Whether or not they make it to Maine is immaterial, they just need to reach the point where it's brought up as a suggestion.
the TL;DR is that going to maine is a mainly character/relationship focused piece, so it's basically just chronicling J+Beck's relationship/affair, and how that relationship/affair progresses over time. there's also a b plot going on with kota+cade having a will they won't they thing, but that's less important to the story and more just for funsies
the TL;DR's TL;DR is college student and their professor have an affair and elope to maine together
going to maine is also really heavily based off of some mountain goats songs. namely, going to maine. other important ones are the alphonse mambo and alibi. below is my playlist for it :-)

I think one of the things I love most about the Amazing Digital Circus is the way scenes with Caine are written. Such as after Caine gives Pomni a tour and there's a pause after he screams "Digital hallucinations". No action, no plot progression, just him floating silently, trying to figure out what to say next. It really paints him as another person who's just going along with his role instead of a relentless algorithm designed to always keep people entertained. And the bit at the end when he apologized. The fact that a character in a position of power even apologized is amazing, the fact that it was Caine, a character we're not yet sure is even human apologizing is another. He's presented not as an all seeing God removed from the humanity of our main characters (well, he is, but you know what I mean), but a human given the abilities of one. These scenes show him as almost genteel with how he treats our main characters. It's impeccable writing and I am so excited to see his character develop further! YAY GOOSEWORX!
#the amazing digital circus#gooseworx#tadc caine#i am falling more in love with Caine by the second someone help me#i am so excited imma explode :D
