#I'll probably end up editing this many times too because I haven't fleshed her character out properly

JJ Maybank/Rafe Cameron fics rec

*Note: My mind before I made this post was like, from "you don't need to it, they are rarepair RARE FREAKING PAIR no one care, especially on this platform" to "NO I have to, for the "paper ship" with almost 20 fics on my bookmark and so many good works on ao3, I am probably gonna explode if I can't get it out I don't even care if no one gives a shit" (to lovely people who care I love you), so here we are I guess 💀

No Murders, No Gold, Just Vibes (multi-chap, finished, rated E)

One of the first fics of this ship on ao3 and still lives up to its title as the most hits fic so far. It's the most read not only because it's one of the first but also because it's just TOO GOOD. It has angst, has hurt, it has fluff and comfort, all of them is so nicely balanced. The characters development is not too quick, it wasn't really feel like canon in the end but still not being ooc, and that has my deepest appreciation. Also the most important (to me at least lol) we have verse!Jafe, we even have the build up for Rafe to bottoming (the author is an angel my gawd), every fics that have bottom!Rafe is automatically good to me because it's rare af I need MORE. Oops it's gotten too long now but one last thing, there's one small part in the fic I really love related to their kiss, I will stop here to avoid spoiler so you should read it to know what i'm talking about yeah?

i'll take the risk if you are the reward (multi-chap, on hiatus (?), rated E)

The fic I talked about before, still one of the craziest, wildest fic i've read and i've read A LOT on ao3 for more than a decade. A thick book of spice is already unhinged enough? The plot has also the same level of craziness. Imagine The Bear tv show with all the screaming except the main couple is h0rny all the times and everybody always thinking about "dextering" everyone (I use the exact word the author used lol). Also why 180k words of corn is good? Because it still made me feel hot inside even tho there was no penetration for half of the fic (and that is almost 100k words, wild I know lol) 🔥 *Edited: Okay so I just picked up this fic again after a few days and I've realized I forgot how freaking good the author's writing is, how someone could write something so chaotic and poetic at the same time really, I wanna cry. Bonus, a poem in the most important chapter of all 35 chapters. Pretty much summed up Rafe and JJ's relationship in this masterpiece of a fanfic ❤️

Lost at Sea (multi-chap, finished, no rating)

Best Jafe AU fic to me. Another nicely balanced hurt/comfort, and one of the most wholesome fic i've read of the pair. It's not fluffy but very lighthearted and emotional. The idea of JJ and Rafe becoming a team of two (forcefully lol) and slowly realizing their feelings for each other through hardship on an unknown place is sooo appealing. Only them, no other characters appeared for most of the fic, like a breath of flesh air I LOVE it. Now I'm having the feminine urge to translate this fic to my first language and haven't translate any fic for a very long time (when you love a fanfic too much *sob* 🥺)

The Enemy of My Friend Is My Lover (multi-chap, finished, rated T)

There it is my first ever rated T i've bookmarked. If you want to read a fic where therapy actually worked, it's the one for you (therapy session in fanfiction often treated like nothing yk, that's why this fic is important). The character development of all the characters is so good because the writer planned it out so well, so detailed, with structure. Rafe's relationship with all of them is so sweet especially with JJ and Sarah, made my heart melt <3

Sounds Good (oneshot, rated E)

This fic has 2 things I love most checked out: post canon?✔️ bottom!Rafe?✔️ Good freaking food 👏 Corn with plot more like delicious corn with delicious plot. I read many fics by the author and she can write really sexy pre slash and dialogues, and JJ in her fics is always so horny for Rafe, freaking LOVE that. And I have to point out that Rafe in this fic has hearing difficulty and has to use hearing aid, that made the plot so much more interesting to me.

All the fics's links will be in the comment, remember to check it out 🙏

.

Note 2: Phew, I still have more fics I want to recommend, blessed the fanfic God for bringing us a tiny ship with so many good fics. I definitely will be crazy about this couple for a long long time, bc they were nothing in the show (the reason why I don't watch and will never watch), are the smallest ship of the fandom, but still has quite good amount of great fanfics with talented writers, also seeing my dad Drew together with Rudy is really f-ing great for my poor eyes, gawd i'm such a pathetic masochist I should stop. Bye ✌️

[tortilla-of-courage]

Describing it as being like home is actually pretty accurate yeah.

And YES! I am totally willing to talk about my modern AU.

I've been calling it the Adoption AU because Time ends up adopting all of the boys. It mostly started as, I saw an edit for a tweet someone did with Wars and Wild that involved Taco Bell (cannot remember the blog or post for the life of me though), and so I wrote a thing about Warriors sneaking out of his university dorm to pick up Wild, who snuck out the window despite his broken arm, and then got extorted by Legend in exchange for silence at 3am.

This was followed by a fic where Groose decided spray painting a public building was a good idea and got himself and Sky arrested, set earlier in the timeline.

So then I made a timeline. Twilight is Time and Malon's biological son, and he found Wild on the side of the road one day (Wild's backstory involves a bad car wreck and an underground hospital, but no conspiracy bullshit. Yet). Wild has no memory, so they keep him. Wild brings home Legend, who was told his uncle died at school before a holiday. They then also keep Legend. Malon finds Four in her barn one morning for complicated reasons, and they keep him too. Twilight finds Warriors, who is in his class, hiding in an alley one day after he ran away from an abusive home and brings him home too. SS Impa (who I've nicknamed Shield because there are enough prominent Impas here that they should get nicknames too) is a social worker who's trying to find Sky a home and has run out of options, and turns to Time, who has a record of successfully housing 'unhousable' youths, and asks if he can take one more. He can. Wild finds Hyrule and brings him home because 'Rule needs a shower even more than Wild does. Hyrule stays. Wind's grandma ends up with Wind and his sister but can't financially take care of both and so Wind ends up with the boys and everyone is +1 Grandma.

Twilight has a fic detailing how he knows Midna and Dusk and I ended up shooting him (oops) but at least their social project gets handed in on time.

Then I started hashing out Time's backstory and suddenly this AU had plot. And organized crime. And a conspiracy. And secret societies.

The summarized version is that the gems from OoT are like, Idk what they do yet. Haven't gotten to a point where I need to figure that out yet. But they are Important and have to be carefully guarded. The Great Deku Tree (just called Deku because he's not a tree here) was Time's foster father before Ganondorf killed him. Also, Ganondorf is Deku's half brother. Because. However Time 'stole' the Emerald and he and Navi ran until OoT Impa (Sage) and Lullaby found them. So Time got adopted into Lullaby's family. Ruto inherited the Sapphire from her mother who also died from mysterious circumstances, and Darunia has the Ruby. Lullaby got the Ocarina from her late paternal grandmother.

Then Ganon finds them and tries to steal the Emerald from Time, so Lullaby goes looking for help and thus finds the sages. Saria is an anonymous hacker who uses the screen name 'Kokiri'. Time reveals he didn't steal the Emerald, he was Deku's heir, and then Navi goes missing. Time is home worried enough that he's physically sick, and Ganon decides to try and attack the home. Only Lullaby's family is Olde Money, and they live in a big, old manor, so Lullaby as Sheik decides to play 'Home Alone' with the secret passages in the walls and they piss off Ganon because when did that brat get a sheikah bodyguard??? Sage and Rottla (Lullaby's mother, who is fully sheikah as well) rush home from a thing and Kokiri is running a play by play watching the security cameras.

I pull in my headcanon that Time was killed in the Downfall Timeline by getting impaled on Ganon's tusk and Ganondorf stabs him with the tusk of a mounted boar head and then Sheik shows up to protect his brother, and then Mama gets home and is not happy to find this man in her home attacking her kids. Time is fine, but Navi stays missing. (She's alive tho.)

Also, Time's foster dad was the last leader of a secret society known as The Order of The Lost Woods, and Time learns this upon meeting Tatl, who gets him sucked into another event that would probably make a good action movie. I have thought too much about the Order and it's hierarchy, but what's important here is that Time ends up with a standing job offer and Tatl and he remain friends and we find out how I fit FD into this AU. It's not pretty. This is where Time loses his eye too.

The AoC came out and I added that Link in as Wild's twin brother and he shows up during the main plot.

Which starts with Twi getting kidnapped. (I'm not really meaner to him than the others, I swear, he's just the most logical choice to be Time's heir. Which he is. He doesn't know this though.)

So he's kidnapped by Ganondorf, who broke out of jail, Zant, who shot Twi in highschool, and Ghirahim, who has some history with Sky I haven't fleshed out yet and a very public rivalry with Warriors over twitter. About six weeks later Sage finds him in an abandoned warehouse (because of course) with a shackle on his left arm and a lot of new injuries. He ends up fine, but he tells Time later in the hospital what happened and he's both message and messenger and Time is this close to just committing murder. Tatl talks him down.

Somewhere here is the half finished fic where I introduce AoC Link as Luke/Knight, and this is as far as I've plotted thus far.

Other tidbits: Wild and Lullaby/Sheik are both genderfluid, Lullaby/Sheik married Ruto, Wild has a very popular YouTube channel, Twi does drag racing sometimes, Sky has a pet bird, Four has DID to explain how the Colours are here too, and Wolfie exists in the form of a random wolf-dog Wild found and brought home that Legend somehow convinced half the family was Twilight. Also, Warriors has somehow befriended an entire sorority and he doesn't know how this happened.

This... got long. As you can see I have a lot of thoughts about the Adoption AU. It's gotten a bit away from me, I'll admit. This went from 'Wild does stunts on his motorbike and keeps breaking bones but somehow not the bike' to 'Twilight got kidnapped and Time is the target of a mafia that Ganon runs and also maybe killed a man once' and I don't know how that happened. Also, this is the condensed version of the summary. My actual summary/outline is much, much longer than this. So if there's any detail you want more on, feel free to say so and I'll happily go into more detail (there are so many things I didn't even mention....)

And yes, Robbie having a bong is very important to my best friend, for some reason. He has one in a modern AU and he probably invented one in canon. I happen to agree that this makes sense for his character, if anyone would invent a bong in LoZ it's Robbie (this is such an anticlimactic end to this ask after the stuff about the modern AU...)

Also, sorry for the long ass ask. I genuinely don't know how to condense the Adoption Au down any further. There's a lot of important plot beats to cover, and I still skipped things.

-Attllhak

oh my GOD???? if you ever write and post this somewhere id love to read it, the level of "crazy" conspiracy/action movie elements implemented sound sosososo cool, from Ganondorf being Deku's half brother to trying to "send a message" via Twi and- just- all of this is SO good.i sat here and reread this ask like 3 times as if that would magically spawn more info about it ahaha

there's so much to unpack here but it's honestly so worth it i love every single detail!!! i can imagine the actual outline being way longer, nad honestly that just makes me the more excited/curious about all that might be missing from this ask - i cant believe it started with Wild and Wars going to Taco Bell of all things

also i can totally see Robbie making a bong, no matter the setting or AU. fits him a lot I'd say

and dont worry about long asks!! i adore opening up my askbox to see one ask take over the entire thing, it makes me really happy aha

[eruinaflightmist]

In-depth Character Profile

Full Name: Eruina Flightmist Nickname(s): Ina Current location: 

pre burning of Teldrassil: travels between the Argent Tournament grounds at Icecrown and her garrison on Draenor if not on a hunt

post burning of Teldrassil: stays mostly at Hion’s home in Dalaran until her mother reprimands her for being evasive of the conflict, leading to Eruina joining the battle on Darkshore

Titles: the Diplomat (often chosen as ambassador for Darnassus, until recently), Stable Master, Slayer of Ogres Companions: in a separate post bc she’s a huntress and a beastmistress, so she owns an entire menagerie. However, there is one companion who is constantly at her side and it’s Meow the striped nightsaber. Birthplace: northern Ashenvale, which is now known as Felwood Mother: Sialy Flightmist Father: Brynnon Bluemane (deceased)                                                                 Other family members: younger sister Cireael Flightmist

Eruina with Meow

Personal Attributes Gender: female  Eye Color: silver Skin Tone: light rose Hair Color: neon purple to violet (darkens at the tips)  Height: 197 cm Weight: 78 kg Hand dominance: right hand Scar(s)/Deformities: bite and claw marks on body, mostly arms and legs, due to dealing with beasts Racial Tattoos: the facial maturity tattoos, in the form of the Serpent, colour is dark red Language(s): fluent Darnassian and Common

The Huntress with her closest companions, the saber sisters Meow and Roar and the worg Spirithowl

Class Development Rank: Huntress / Beastmaster Place of Study: Teldrassil Mentor: Ayanna Everstride at Shadowglen (in-game NPC) Organization(s): Huntresses of the Sentinel Army, though she has never been a high-ranked Huntress in Darnassus. Her duties at first were mostly limited to Darkshore and Ashenvale, but after failing the complete protection of those lands amongst other Sentinels, Eruina was relocated to assist the other Alliance factions more, thanks to her diplomatic skills. She gained the most trust with Ironforge first, and Stormwind second. Her diplomatic skills proved effective even beyond the Eastern Kingdoms. She is also highly esteemed among the Wintersaber Trainers and the Timbermaw furbolgs, as she spent a great deal of time in Winterspring for personal hunter training. By the time of the Iron Horde’s invasion, Stormwind entrusted her a garrison on Draenor amongst many other champions. She is also one of the Huntmasters in the Unseen Path. In conclusion, Eruina is an active sentinel huntress who serves Stormwind most, which often conflicts her with the interests of Darnassus. Though she does not have a high rank among the Darnassian sentinels, she is a rightful commander by Stormwind’s standards.                                                              Specialization(s): beast handling and training, mounted and ranged combat (most proficient with bows, but can also use guns and crossbows, taught by rangers of other factions). Also knows how to wield a glaive, as is common for Sentinel Huntresses. Weapon(s): unnamed bow from Draenor, official sentinel glaive Armor: balances between leather and scale mail, often personally crafted. Her handiwork often resembles that of other races, much to the dismay of Darnassian sentinels. Avoids helms. Battle Participation: none directly, though she had assisted her sisters in protecting Ashenvale from orc attacks, Mount Hyjal from Ragnaros, and worked with various organisations to sabotage Illidan’s rule on Outland. Indirectly, in cooperation with the Argent Crusade and their tournament, she also helped the war effort against the Lich King. She took a more offensive approach on Draenor, helping the draenei of the alternate timeline to take down the Iron Horde. In Legion, she aided the effort of repelling demons on the sidelines, through the Unseen Path. I am currently saving BfA to play with friends, but I expect Eruina to be much more offensive on Darkshore, as she was not on Teldrassil when it was burned and the guilt shook her heavily.

Bladetalon is Eruina’s primary guide in the skies

Combat Considerations Physical Weakness(es): lacks strength, can be taken down quickly in close combat, especially by a foe bigger than her. Physical Strength(s): agile and dextrous. Incredibly swift and quick to react in battle situations. Prefers speed over strength.                                Psychological Weakness(es): unpredictable personality.  Easy to manipulate and sway in personal encounters, but becomes very stern and calculated in leadership positions, to the point of unfairness.                                Psychological Strength(s): learns from past mistakes. Adapts quickly and doesn’t fear change of plans.

Personal Characteristics Idiosyncrasies: she acts rather childishly and immaturely around people she loves, but talks very seriously with her beast companions and ranked superiors. She cuts her long, thick hair short every time she feels like she has failed protecting a place or person dear to her. Insecurities: her emotional side being called out, seeing one of the forests she deems nostalgic get destroyed again. Notable Feature: voice sounds hoarse and growling, especially at louder volume, due to damaging her vocal cords out in Winterspring.                              Voice example: Battle Beast – Touch in the Night Positive traits: open-minded | quick to adapt | optimistic | easy-going | loyal | empathetic Negative traits: capricious | takes leadership positions very seriously and expects a lot out of her own leaders and followers | naive | gullible | takes bad events to heart very deeply | incapable of forgiveness once wronged Orientation: hetero Attracted to: long hair, success, intelligence and a cold exterior.

Relationships                                                                                                  Sialy the druid of the talon - mother, often conflicts with due to different ideologies, but she has great respect for her nevertheless                                    Cireael the sentinel - younger sister, mutual respect, though Cireael does not approve of Eruina’s light-hearted attitude                                                                Lufeni the demon hunter - friend, encountered in Legion; Lufeni, on the other hand, appreciates Eruina’s optimistic and carefree personality                        Yael Moonbrow the huntress - Eruina’s soon-to-be trainee                          Ranayel the sindorei farstrider - an unusual contact from the Horde, a friendship made possible thanks to the Unseen Path. Mutual passion in taming and handling beasts                                                                                                Eydis the human ranger - a young trainee of Eruina; Eruina is also familiar with her family                                                                                                              Hollyla the dwarf riflewoman - another one of Eruina’s trainees                          Ashesces the draenei rangari - one of Eruina’s hunter allies and friends                Valky the draenei vindicator - Eruina’s friend, mutual passion in taming rideable beasts                                                                                                              Hion’thaes the quel’dorei Kirin Tor sorcerer - Eruina’s current mate                      Idols: Rexxar the Beastmaster                                                                  Personal Antagonists: the undead warlock Amaara

OOC Approach Writing Theme(s): not set in stone yet as I haven’t been able to RP with her much, nor really write her stories out decently... but I’m guessing a lot to do with motion, emotion and beasts Story arcs I would like to explore: oh man I haven’t written out any so I’ll just list the ideas I’ve had (not in chronological order... also these listed are personal comic ideas, but I’m open to most RP ideas)

romance with Hion’thaes

Eruina getting cheated on by a former night elf partner and her sister Cireael confronting said partner

becoming a hippogryph rider after being forced to appeal to the Cenarion Expedition by her mother

Eruina and Hion’s daughter and everything related to it

the deforestation of Ashenvale and the eruption of the nearby volcano

Auberdine’s fall

her being a tutor to Eydis

first encounter with Amaara

the taming of Ghost Howl

the learning of Teldrassil’s fall

RP preferences: either in-game on EU Darkspear or via Discord, however Discord allows for more literate roleplay. I prefer literate roleplay above everything else, though I do not shy away from most subjects. DM if you have any questions.
