whirlpool's personal MOTA fic recs!

I've actually been dying to put this together for a while now...today is as good an excuse as any! I might not know everyone's tumblrs vs ao3 names so I will NOT be offended if you tell me to correct something!! <3

the big list = going alphabetical order in my folder because YES I do download my favorites, it's like having your own little bookshelf!!

non-clegan fics:

nine mothers' sons by @reallylilyreally (truly beautiful, breathtaking, and **THE** John Brady bible for the fandom so make sure you pray to it every night)

at your heels by @reallylilyreally (this one is Ev Blakely, another really beautiful story that helps you understand just why Crosby's memoir speaks of Blakely with such love and affection)

clegan (or gale-centric, or john-centric) fics:

A Direct Solution by @sweaterkittensahoy (Gale & Marge proposition Bucky...so cute and so hot)

ain't it easy? by @stereobone (dom/sub with john as the dom but ohhh man it's so much more than just that!!!!! this fic is so full of FEELS. and it's also HOTTTT. and also the FEELSSSSS.)

all the rest of what I want with you by @london-cowboy (the level of care that went into writing this fic is insane and impeccable. down to its own internal timeline, little egan kiddos, and the ANGST. but it's all worth it, I promise!!)

back home where you're from, that's the measure of a man by wolfhalls (nice little oneshot of the bucks, I love the back-and-forth of their dialogue in this one, it really does feel like two people who know each other well)

bittersweet between my teeth by @blixabargelds (post-war adjustment...love when the two majors are a little messy and a little sad and also john calls gale the prettiest thing he ever saw so there's that <3)

DOG DINNER by @wompire (super interesting writing style, extremely poetic and striking. hits you right in the gut.)

everything and the kitchen sink by @swifty-fox (YEAH THIS ONE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE TOO. modern au where gale is a professional dom and john is a journalist who hornily consents to both (1) fucking around, and (2) finding out. in top ten fics of the decade in general tbh)

Freed From Desire by @feyd-meowtha (yoooooo such a fun and free and sexy fic!!! such a great writing style and such a cool remix of all the characters we know and love!)

He wears his love around his neck by kasugayamaisforlovers (Gale character study, he tries to run his little gay thoughts away which is always so fun to see)

hold me like a knife by storm_warning (tw: self-harm, this REALLY gets into John's self-destructive stalag spiral and it's super visceral and wet and heart-wrenching and written with such, such care and precision)

Hound Within the Heart by Anonymous (fairy-tale esque, gets super crazy and pushes the limits of reality but in the best ways possible)

I Don't Wanna Be Alone Tonight by @johnslittlespoon (cuddling for warmth <3 and then a little more <3 <3 so sweet and intimate!!)

two slow dancers by everywordnotsaid (unrequited love, John for Gale, through their journey. I genuinely, actually sobbed for a long time at the conclusion of this fic. I am always thinking about this fic. I think it really captures something about the experience of watching the show and realizing in that hopeless, lovesick kind of way that there's no way to go back in time and save all of them. I still get teary whenever I think about this story or hear the song. It's one of those fics that's not just good, not just great, but somehow also really fucking IMPORTANT. this story MATTERS. you should absolutely read it and save it and imprint it onto your heart. I know it's imprinted onto mine.)

Un Chant d’Amour by @counting0nit (really intriguing take on the interrogation center time frame!)

unicorns, and other extinct animals by @spaceshipkat (really, really incredible reading experience. something that actually touches other aspects of my life, even now. I see planes overhead and I think about this fic.

Up In Our Bedroom by @steeseman (ICONIC. really one of those pillars of the community type fics, y'know? it's funny and it's sweet and it's painful and the hot parts are HOT. clearly written with SO much care, and SO much love, and SO much precision. every single word packs a punch. absolutely one of my top reads of all time, across time, across fandoms)

When the bones are good by @aramblingjay (a really incredible post-war fic, such a beautiful, rich writing style!! isn't afraid to dig at the hard parts - john's relationship with alcohol, their nightmares from the war. stunning visuals -- the author uses setting and place and motion in such a tangible, real way. I can still see the little hideout spot in my mind's eye, even now. one of those fics that's just. such a treasure to the fandom.)

your dreams, whatever they be by @drylite (this one is super new, and it's just SUCH solid writing!)

You're A Dog (I'm Your Man) by @johnslittlespoon (one of those fics that's a pillar of the fandom for SURE!!! definitely a classic)

Fan Work Friday

Hey look, I'm actually doing this on a Friday! Tagged by @bragganhyl.

Rules: if you're tagged, make a new post and show off one piece of fanart and one fanfic you like!

Fic: The Dunryd Archives (Pillars of Eternity) by dragonologist_phd (@dragonologist-phd on tumblr)

My mother once told me those names are the people who were cremated in those fireplaces. It’s not as common a practice these days, but back when the Citadel was new and people still worshipped the old gods, it was apparently custom for Magranites to dispose of their dead in that manner. To tell the truth, that always freaked me out a bit. I knew the bodies were already dead and it didn’t matter, but I still had this awful idea that they could still feel it; the flames eating at you, peeling away at your skin, consuming you until just a handful of dust remained. My great-grandparents were cremated, you know- I guess we had some Magranites in the family at some point, and the traditions stuck. Mom showed me the urns when she told me all this, and it just seemed so strange to me. I remembered the time I burned my hand on the stovetop, and how the skin on my fingers and palms blistered off at the heat. How much more heat would it take to reduce a whole person into something that was so easily scooped into a jar?

...so I've never listened to The Magnus Archives. However, AUs that remix canon in a fun way while keeping as much of the lore as possible are My Jam, and this is exactly that. I've been meaning to keep reading this for a while and ended up reading chapters 3 and 4 to make this post specifically, and hooo boy I'm glad I did because apparently I stopped just before the fun stuff started happening.

Fanartist: @ritelli-main

Honestly I just wanted an excuse to show off this art blog? ritelli's art style is really cool and she draws a lot of fun dnd-related characters and environments. This one is Legend of Drizzt fanart (I think), and, while I haven't read the books so I don't have the full context, the colors and shapes are just. Really Cool to me.

Family Principles

Day 3 for the Eight Nights of Mulder: celebration and my prompt for the 24 Days of X-Mas Files Challenge: family Christmas with separate beds

Summary: They're spending Christmas at Mrs. Scully's house and Mulder is in for a surprise. (AU, fluffy fluff, William is there; wc: 715)

Tagging @today-in-fic @eightnightsofmulder

She should pinch herself, just to make sure she isn't dreaming. In many ways, this Christmas feels like a fantasy. One she had many, many years ago. But it's real, all of it.

Over there, surrounded by a few of her mother's neighbors, stands Mulder. He's grinning from ear to ear, quickly becoming the star of the party. At least as long as their son is napping.

William is without a doubt the not-so-secret superstar of this holiday get-together. With his dimples and his charming smile, he wraps everyone around his little finger. Including her grinchy brother, who tried his damnest not to be swayed. He lasted all of five seconds before he, too, oohed and awwed at his nephew.

"I saw you staring at me." Mulder's voice is a soft murmur as he puts his arms around her, holding her close. She must have been so lost in thought that she didn't even notice him walk over to her. "Do I have something on my face?" He nuzzles her neck, making her giggle.

"You do," she says, swatting at his hand. They may have been a couple for a while, but here, in front of everyone and her family, their public display of affection is new and she doesn't yet know how she feels about it. "You're grinning."

"I'm happy," he says simply. "Your mother throws great parties."

"She invited you every year," Scully reminds him. The first few times she asked him she wondered whether it was because of Christmas. But he never celebrated Hanukkah either. A fact they're planning to change next year so that William can learn about the festival, too.

"I'm a late bloomer." His lips graze the shell of her ear and she shivers. "Do you think anyone would notice if we snuck away?"

"They might." Though she's not sure she cares. "William will wake up soon, though."

"I can be patient," he promises, kissing her cheek. "We have all night."

"If you're prepared to sneak around." Mulder's confused pout makes her smile. She hasn't had time to speak to him about the sleeping arrangements yet. And he's not going to like what she has to say.

"My mom decided to put us in separate bedrooms." Mulder stares at her as if expecting her to admit she's making a joke. "She said, and I quote, she can't let us share a bedroom in good consciousness." Her mother loves Mulder, and she dotes on her youngest grandchild, but she's a woman with principles. One of which is no shared rooms and beds when unmarried.

"Is it because of what I said earlier?" When her mother and Father McCue talked about baptizing William, Scully intervened, saying they weren't sure yet what to do, with Mulder being half Jewish. And his skepticism towards organized religion, but she kept that tidbit to herself. Both her mother and Father McCue had looked surprised and then Mulder decided to call William a religious remix, which caused a few more shocked gasps from both of them.

"Surprisingly not," Scully says. "It's because we're not married."

"Well, I'm sure we can find someone here to change that. We have a priest, a rabbi, and a pastor. This could also be the beginning of a bad joke. This is a joke, right?" Scully shakes her head, and Mulder pouts fully.

"She knows we live together," Mulder says and she nods. "We have a child together." She nods again. "She knows that we- you know."

"Not in her house." He sighs loudly.

"What if I promise her to marry you as soon as possible? I'm gonna ask. You know what? I'm gonna use Willam to argue. He's my secret weapon." He kisses her mouth, his grin returning. He runs off like she's used to, but for once, she doesn't mind one bit.

She just watches as members of her family pat Mulder's back, or engage him in short conversations. Everyone loves him. And he basks in the attention. She knows one Christmas won't erase the years he suffered, where he was alone - sometimes by choice. But it's a beginning.

She knows that her mother won't change her mind about the sleeping arrangements, but she also knows that no matter what, they will find a way to be together tonight.

2023 Fic Year in Review

Total Number Of Works:

15 new + updates to 3 pre-2023 fics

Total Word Count:

59,680

Fandoms I’ve Written In:

X-Men

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected?

I never really have any expectation for how much I'm going to write so I guess it's what I expected? Though I continued my streak from last year with writing way more rare pairings/bottom!erik fic than I have in the previous years combined.

What’s Your Own Favorite Story Of The Year?

I didn't quite get the last chapter done before the end of the year but this turned out to be my favorite for the year :D

My Home Is You

Charles and Erik have always been close, and despite assumptions to the contrary, they've only ever been friends.

It takes them a while to figure out what everyone else seems to have known all along.

Did You Take Any Writing Risks This Year?

Oh yeah definitely

Do You Have Any Fanfic Or Profic Goals For The New Year?

Same goal every year - finish some of my many WIPs.

Most Popular Story Of The Year?

AU-gust Challenge 2023

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion:

This year - everything I wrote with Erik/not!Charles pairings

Most Fun Story To Write:

Happily Ever After...Maybe

(The latest chapter of my actor au; I just generally love this verse, and wish my Muse would write more for it already.)

Most Unintentionally Telling Story:

In The Dark

Late one night, someone visits Erik in his cell beneath the Pentagon.

(Apparently I only write canonverse anymore when it's dirtybad lol.)

Biggest Disappointment:

There were a couple of older fics I wanted to update that I didn't get around to doing this year.

Biggest Surprise:

Ummm....how much I enjoyed pairing Kurt Marko with Erik for some reason??????

The Innocence We Lose

Erik's mother gets a job as Mr. Xavier's live-in cook, and the two of them move from Brooklyn to Westchester to start a new life. Everything is going well for the Lehnsherrs in their new home, even with an absent employer who is currently finishing his PhD at Oxford.

That is...everything except for the presence of Mr. Xavier's stepfather Kurt Marko, who takes a vested interest in Erik and changes his life.

My Favorite Part Of Fandom This Year:

That everyone left/new to the fandom is super chill.

Full list of fics under the cut:

My Home Is You (Cherik)

Charles and Erik have always been close, and despite assumptions to the contrary, they've only ever been friends.

It takes them a while to figure out what everyone else seems to have known all along.

The Innocence We Lose (Erik/Kurt Marko)

Erik's mother gets a job as Mr. Xavier's live-in cook, and the two of them move from Brooklyn to Westchester to start a new life. Everything is going well for the Lehnsherrs in their new home, even with an absent employer who is currently finishing his PhD at Oxford.

That is...everything except for the presence of Mr. Xavier's stepfather Kurt Marko, who takes a vested interest in Erik and changes his life.

Birthright (Charles/Kurt, Charles/Cain)

At the tender age of thirteen, Prince Charles of Westchester is mated to his paternal uncle, Kurt Marko, the man who murdered his parents and usurped the throne. With no where to turn - and no one to help him - he is forced to become Marko's broodmare, and tasked to bear his children to continue the royal line.

Their eldest child, Crown Prince Cain is thirteen when he develops inappropriate feelings for his bearer.

AU-gust Challenge 2023

X-Men AUs with various pairings

Feels Like A Dream (Satisfaction Remix) (Charles/Shaw)

Charlie has a lot of first times with Sebastian Shaw. (A Dollhouse AU)

It's Complicated (Not My Baby Remix) (Cherik, Xavierine, Erik/Logan)

Seven months after the incident in Washington D.C., Charles contacts Logan with news that affects them both.

the hound's mate (prince of dogs remix) (Erik/Shaw)

The hound becomes Erik's constant companion. And Erik's pregnancy greatly affects both his mind and his body.

Heart's Desire (A Seduction Remix) (Cherik, Charpocalypse)

Ten years ago, Erik left Charles behind to chase after his maker, and to keep him from a life of darkness and death.

When they meet again in the bowels of an ancient ruin, he finds Charles irrevocably changed.

Sinful Days and Nights (Erik/Shaw, Charles/Shaw)

21. Sebastian is pleased with his new pleasure slave Erik and how well he's taking to his training. 22. *NEW* Charles agrees to a walk on the grounds with his stepfather's associate, Mr. Shaw, unaware of the alpha's nefarious intentions.

My Life To Duty Wed (Cherik, Charles/Jakob Lehnsherr)

Crown Prince Erik Lehnsherr receives word of his father's pending nuptials while he's away from the Capital, fighting in his first war campaign for Genosha. The news surprises him, though not nearly as much as finding out the identity of the soon-to-be Consort; Erik's childhood best friend Charles Xavier, omega heir of noble House Xavier.

My Future & Yours (Erik/Shaw, Erik/Alex Summers)

The island of Genosha offers sanctuary to mutants from all over the world; the chance to live amongst their own kind in a beautiful paradise. With no family left, Erik decides to travel half-way around the world to start a new life.

He does not expect to catch the eye of one Sebastian Shaw - handsome, charismatic, and leader of the mutant nation - and end up forcibly taken as his mate.

Can't Run From Yourself (Erik/Wanda, Erik/OMC)

Erik attracts the attention of three gorgeous alphas at his favorite club and throws himself wholeheartedly into a night of unbridled passion. He has no idea that the strangers aren't really strangers at all, and that the life he left behind has finally caught up with him.

Debts (Erik/Shaw)

Mr. Shaw comes to the store once a week, ostensibly to help Papa with the books. Wanda discovers the truth of it, when she spies them having sex through the vent between the office and the storeroom.

All In The Family (Charles/Kurt, Charles/Cain)

Kurt's unexpected passing leaves Cain and Charles alone and destitute, scrambling to find their own way in the world without money or the Xavier ancestral home.

He also left his step-son pregnant with his baby.

In The Dark (Erik/OMC)

Late one night, someone visits Erik in his cell beneath the Pentagon.

Patterns Repeating (Erik/OMC)

Sebastian has been dead now for almost three years, and Erik is finally settled - and happy - in his life with Shinobi and the rest of the children. But the growing bond between Erik and Jacob takes them down a painfully familiar path, and threatens to up-end the uneasy peace between the eldest Shaw siblings.

Happily Ever After...Maybe (Xavierine, Cherik)

Chpt 3. Logan misses Charles while he's away. And news of the sequel goes viral on social media.

my year in fic: 2022

Following the format of my 2021 year in fic, here’s everything I wrote this year: ~77K words over 4 stories. (I also wrote ~40K words of a few unpublished WIPs, and I am putting this here for public accountability to finish those early in the new year lol.)

I really loved writing these stories; several of them were things I never would have written if it hadn’t been for various fests/prompts. Thank you again to everyone who continues to organize and participate in them!!

1) “Correspondence” Charles/Erik, 13K words, Charles POV over the course of a single day The third installment in my XMFC canon-divergent series “No Steady State”

Summary: It may be the weekend, but there’s a letter Charles really must reply to before getting ready for their far more enticing evening plans.

2) “What We Inherit” Gen (David & Charles), 20K words, modern/still powered AU & what I’ve been describing as a non-romantic (father-son) slow burn Written for X-Men Rare Pairs 2022

Summary: Ever since David came to live with his father, their relationship has been polite but distant: his father is always working, and David still sort of thinks of him as Charles Xavier, The World’s Most Famous Telepath, a larger-than-life figure he first saw on television five years ago.

But when the grandmother David never knew existed calls and demands to meet her grandson, a harrowing weekend trip reveals how much he and his father don’t know about each other—and alters things between them in ways he never would have predicted.

3) “Unlived Histories (The Double Vision Remix)” Charles/Erik, 18K words, time travel/alternate history A remix of “The Cost of a Good Man” by arcapelago, written for X-Men Remix Madness 2022

Summary: When he was a boy, a man visited Erik and his mother and helped them escape before the war. Years later, Erik finally learns the man’s identity—but the truth is far more complicated than he ever could have imagined.

4) “to put the world between us” Charles/Erik, 25K words, modern/still powered actor AU Written for Secret Mutant Madness 2022

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood: fresh off an Academy Award nomination, he’s about to star in HBO’s most anticipated show of the year. And even though online chatter about his recent string of queer roles keeps getting louder, his personal life remains personal—just as it always has, and just as his manager and publicist continue to advise.

But when he winds up at the same wedding as his college best friend, Charles Xavier—and when they quickly fall into bed together—he’s forced to revisit the past he’s been trying to get away from for years. The pull between them has always been magnetic, but so has the weight of secrecy. Can they keep from repeating the same mistakes, or will the price of the truth be too high?

merthur fic recs: modern royalty au pt 2

1. The Other Half Of My Heart by RocknVaughn

An Arthur's POV remix of The Pact by Cori Lannam.

The Albion Pact demands that the Prince of Wales must take someone magic born as his soul-bonded consort by the time he is thirty or face death.

Prince Arthur Pendragon's thirtieth birthday has come and gone and he is getting sicker by the day. With little time left to act, Arthur knows what he must do to save himself:  he has to call in a boyhood promise made by Merlin Emrys, his best friend and very talented Detective Inspector Warlock...the same best friend Arthur's been in love with for half his life.

But how can Arthur ask the man he loves more than anything to give up everything he's worked so hard for? Arthur is not sure that he can...and the indecision just might kill him.

~~~

the angst nearly killed me TT

2. The Pact by Cori Lannam (corilannam)

The ancient Albion Pact demands that the Prince of Wales must take someone magic born as his soul-bonded consort by the time he is 30 or face death. Before he was a Detective Inspector Warlock, Merlin Emrys was young and in love and made a promise to Prince Arthur -- and now Arthur is calling it in.

~~~

this fic has to be read together with the fic above bc the way they complement each other is mwah

3. Let it Grow (Beard and Snow) by Mischel (@magicalmischel)

When Arthur insults Merlin in front of the entire school, Merlin curses him with the most ridiculous-looking moustache. The problem? He doesn't know how to get rid of it. Arthur now has to travel with Merlin back home for the holidays to find the answer in a spellbook, and unfortunately for him -- not only will this include meeting Merlin's mother, but he will also have to pretend to be Merlin's boyfriend.

Written for the Round Table Gift Exchange on the Merlin Fic Book Club server on Discord. Happy Holidays! ❄️⛄

+ ART

[avatarskywalker78]

A slightly belated entry for qocc oc challenge day 3 - alternate universe remix. This is an (urban) fantasy AU of my Gemma Laura McKinney AU.

Summer, 2018 - Gemma McKinney shows up in the Valley, hiding secrets and clearly on a mission, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman displaying the kind of magic that, Johnny knows, only runs through his mother's side of the family (though it skipped him and Robby), and though he'd like to say she's not his daughter, because god knows he doesn't need to have failed another child, he also remembers the eighties and nineties were a wild time so he can't say for certain. But Gemma isn't giving any answers - mainly because there's a threat coming that eclipses any karate war, and she figures that whatever the truth is (because she barely remembers the people who raised her so even she can't say for sure either way) it'll just have to wait. They have the Valley - and quite possibly the world - to save.

Fic Stats Meme

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

Most Hits: Vox (The Office, Pam/Jim)

This 2006 story actually has the most hits, kudos, and bookmarks in the whole Office tag, which is still wild to me. The fandom was so teeny back on Livejournal, and I uploaded the story and backdated when AO3 started circa 2010, but it didn’t get a lot of attention until people started catching up on the show on streaming in the late 2010s and the numbers snowballed from there.

I guess people really just love a phone sex fic with pining and a sexy resolution (the funny thing is when I wrote the story it felt like throwaway fluff but that’s now the dominant genre)

Second most kudos, third most comments: when you love somebody, bite your tongue (The Untamed, wangxian)

This story will be a year old next month and I’ve been blown away by the big response to it, still. I guess people really like teenage pining, bed sharing, and “just the tip.”

Fourth most bookmarks: in my heart and on my mind (The Untamed, wangxian)

I still feel vaguely cheating when people like the premise of this fic, since it’s a remix of @jingyismom’s brilliant story, and also I almost never write modern AUs but it was just so dang fun! I am sorry I didn’t manage to work in WWX and LWJ actually at a high school dance, but the vibe was there.

Fifth most words: A Book You Read in Reverse (Harry Potter, Lupin/Snape)

Ahhh I’m glad the meme found this fic! It’s actually one of my personal favorites, written when I was pretty young; Remus and Severus (my HP OTP) sneaking around in the Marauders era, arguing and making out and not talking about their feelings, while Remus is hiding different secrets from everyone. It has a bittersweet ending but it’s open, and I always envisioned them ending up together later in life (before HP7 crushed the pairing entirely, sigh).

Fic with the fewest words: sew wings to your pigeon toes (The Royal Tenenbaums, Richie/Margot)

Improbably, I have written 3 stories for this movie I love, and this double drabble (in the real sense of the word!) is my favorite. It’s 200 words and here they are:

When she is five she sucks and chews the ends of blue Bic ballpoint pens until the ink spills onto her pale pink lips. Chas is disgusted, complains to his mother; Richie's eyes tear up, and he hides beneath the couch at the sight of her mottled mouth. Her small hands cramp as she fills lined legal pads, five good fingers gripping the pen, five good fingers splayed out on the paper. Poetry comes first, mostly sonnets, then two short novels, and finally three one-act plays heavily influenced by Chekhov. Nothing she writes is genius until she's at least seven.

Richie watches her write, nude, on her stomach on the bed in their apartment. Her words are a secret, she says, until they're ready. She has perfect turnout, her feet at right angles to her body, and he remembers that she took ballet lessons when they were small. He doesn't remember why she stopped. He runs his fingers up under the arches of her feet, over the thin, strong calves, and then higher, where it's warm and wet. It's a mystery there; her head is a mystery; and as he kneels behind her the words come and come and come.

MOTHER 3 Remixed AU (Part 1: good guys)

Claus takes Lucas's role, while Porky and Locria take Duster and Kumatora's. This doesn't mean the swaps always go both ways, though.

Idol Au- [Monstroc!ty]

[Monstroc!ty] is a very Rap and Rock focused group of the NRC Corp. they are known for exciting performances and stunning visuals

Henry, its leader, however often does collabs with [ Ocean M4fia ]

Most of their songs are rebelling against the views society pushes onto you and just to be yourself

they have 3 high selling Albums that currently go well in the charts

Their Glowsticks are a Chameleon, a Crab and a Mushroom seperated but their Logo is a triangle

Their group Color is Grey, Violet is purple, Marine is Blue and Vermillion is Red

Have a deep Rivalry with [Hearts and Roses]

Inspirations for the three were Leroy as Taeyong from NCT, Henry as Taemin from Shinee and Mellow as Mark lee from NCT

Leroy is the Main Rapper and Main Dancer of the group. Would also sing normally in between the rapping.

He started the Idea of the group and is the most talented when it comes to draw the audience in

If asked why he wanted to be a Singer, he often says its to raise enough money to pay the medical bills of his mother

some rumors are that he has connections to the underworld but nobody has found solid prove

His second account is called MagicalPurPur which he does Anime covers and review on

Secretly also a huge fan of @twsted-princess​ Quartz and follows her streams in secret

Verde and Violet know each other and often support one another

Is the Local Fanservice of the group

When not on stage he often wears glasses and shows his freckels... but not when fans are around

Henry is Vocalist and Visual of the group, He is the groups Leader and keeps order in it

formerly he was a rich guy and mainly financed this group untill it had actual sucess

He is in charge of choosing the aesthetics and concepts a lot

Him and Violet are in the fans eyes often shipped cause they always bicker so much

Many are drawn to Marine cause of his serious yet kinda hot aura

Nobody knows how awkward he can be in every days situations

His goal with this group is to show his father he is more than just his family name and stand up on his own

the member that gets the most fashion collabs and deals

stated to admire Co-connects Verde... which led to a lot of rumors

many fans fight for getting photos of him after his training.... and he really works with pleasing his fans while not seeming too much of a whore compared to Leroy

Mellow Is the Maknea of the group but also a Rapper. He also Sometimes puts Remixes of the groups Songs out that are well received

Mainly the one that writes and produces the songs

Joined the group to counter his shyness and stagefright

him and Violet are childhood friends so he begged him to join.

On stage it seems like Vermillion is a different person, cause his rapping gets you hooked quickly

Does from Co-connect really find Ellis and Juvia stunning

he can’t talk to female fans... like at all... he always blushes and hides his face in autograph sessions

is also much more at peace when left alone

Wears glasses outside of the stage

Some Flash (TV) fic recs for @genworkjune:

Life in Technicolour by templeandarche

"This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good". - Stitch

G, 1k, Joe West, Barry Allen, Iris West

with each passing day (the backpack remix) by dancesontrains

"So," Joe said, folding his hands together like he had seen his own father do when he was young, "why were you trying to break your father out of jail?"

Barry looked at Joe. "Because you won't."

G, 1k, Joe West, Barry Allen

Triggers by kitkatt0430

Barry had thought he was fine when he woke up from his coma. Just a few extra powers, nothing to stop him from going right back to work and getting on with his life.

Except... it's not really so easy to bounce back from trauma and the first thunderstorm after Barry wakes up reminds him of this quite firmly.

G, 3k, Barry Allen, David Singh, Rob Singh, Eddie Thawne

Prodigal by cardinalstar

Being an older brother is never easy. Being Cisco Ramon's older brother, Dante finds, is distinctly challenging.

He wishes he didn't see siblinghood as a competition, but when he's been struggling to stay ahead his entire life, it's hard to do anything else.

G, 6k, Dante Ramon, Cisco Ramon, Cisco & Dante's parents

Infinitesimal by sibley (ferns)

The particle accelerator explodes, and Cisco is among hundreds who tender their resignations to Dr. Harrison Wells.

He gets a new job at Mercury Labs relatively quickly. It's nice. Good coworkers, even if some of them are a little weird. Good boss, even if she's strict. Good pay, even if he doesn't always feel like he deserves it after helping someone destroy half the city and ruin people's lives. So overall, it's pretty good.

Well. Except for all the supervillains suddenly trying to recruit him.

T, 11k, Cisco Ramon, Tina McGee, ect

Under the Mask by himynameisv

Everyone thought it was due to trauma over his mother's death. Joe knew better. AU with mute!Barry. One-shot.

T, 1.8k, Joe West, Barry Allen, contains mentions of canonical character deaths

Surprise by sibley (ferns)

“This was a bad idea,” Dawn muttered, pacing back and forth in Cisco’s kitchen. “No, it was a great idea. No, it was a bad idea. No, it was a great idea. No, it was a bad idea. No, it was a great idea. No, it was a bad idea. No-”

G, 1k, Dawn Allen, Cisco Ramon, Iris West, Barry Allen (the first fic I read with a Trans Tornado Twins headcanon, which has stuck so much it's a permanant headcanon now)

all love ever does is (begin again) by shrinkthisviolet

“I’m not exactly a model of healthy grief. But you? You’re Barry Allen, you’re the Flash. Love is your greatest strength—and what’s grief if not love enduring?”

“That’s weirdly sentimental of you.”

Harry’s lips quirk up. “I’m not completely heartless, you know.”

After Flashpoint, Barry finally takes the time to grieve his father.

T, 3k, Barry Allen, Harry Wells, Iris West ect, contains discussions of canonical character death

Reconstruction by kitkatt0430

Kendra Saunders dreams of flying on her own. But the thing is, it has to be her choice.

T, 1.5k, Kendra Saunders (aromantic Kendra!)

an hour in a week (to focus on my thoughts) by shrinkthisviolet

"I'm worried about you, West."

"Well, you shouldn't be. I'm always fine, and I'll be fine now too."

"Are you trying to convince me," Harry asked, "or yourself?"

While Iris is hiding on Earth-2, she and Harry talk, and Iris lets herself feel.

T, 1k, Iris West, Harry Wells, contains discussions of impending character death (set during series 3)

The Haunting of Harrison Wells by QuarticMoose

Harrison Wells died in 1958. Nearly sixty years later, Barry meets a ghost in STAR Labs...

T, 17.9k, Iris West, Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Harrison Wells, Eobard Thawne, contains canonical character death (though it's an AU) and briefly mentioned animal death (possibly best not read in bed with the lights switched off)

Thanks for tagging me @stellanslashgeode!

Last Song(s): Dangerous Night by Thirty Seconds to Mars ("theme song" for my unfinished Bossk/Jango AU fic) & A Symptom of Being Human - Pop Remix by Shinedown (brainstorming song/theme song of sorts for my weekly Call of Cthulhu game)

Currently Reading: Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath (managed to snag one of the limited run "Mega Edition" copies), Ciaphas Cain: Vainglorious by Sandy Mitchell (the newest book in the series that got me into Warhammer 40K) & Halo: Outcasts by Troy Denning (my boi Thel is back, and so is Vale! AAAAAA so good!)

Currently "Writing": My Bossk/Jango semi-AU fic (writing action involving firefights is harder than it seems, at least to make it interesting, and the idea of doing an homage to Fifth Element is fun but not as easy as I thought)

Currently Playing: Ace Combat 7 (playing & modding it for the millionth time as I continue brainstorming for the canon-divergent/semi-AU fic I'm probably never going to write) Baldur's Gate 3 (running two playthroughs atm - one as the Red Prince from Divinity: Original Sin 2, and the other as default albino dragonborn Dark Urge)

Currently Watching: Ahsoka (very fun so far, loving Baylan & Shin, really excited to see where it goes from here)

Next on the Watchlist: I'm due a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica - I found my old, stalled-out semi-AU fic from a decade ago, and I can feel the brainrot setting in.

Current Obsessions: My weekly Call of Cthulhu game (of which I am GM/Keeper) has restarted after a multi-month hiatus, so I'm getting back into the swing of things with that (we're using "The Two-Headed Serpent" for our campaign, so much snek-related shenanigans are occurring). I'm currently planning out ideas for downtime activities between two of the pre-written campaign chapters. I have to determine if I'm capable of an Arnie and/or Jason Momoa impression for long enough without laughing, because one of our characters (a Scottish WW1 medical corps veteran turned professor of linguistics) is a direct linage descendant of Conan the Barbarian; his biological mothers are the Great Old One Yhoundeh and her sole remaining - as of the 1930s - human high priestess; his wife is a Hunting Horror and his boyfriend (his old CO from the Great War) is a Servant of Sobek (think Alfred from Batman if he was a really buff anthro crocodile man). Not to mention his adopted son from Borneo. Man's got a complicated life lmao.

Most Popular by Kudos: “awake, o sleeper” (207k), a ranwan modern cultivation au, in which mo ran comes back to sisheng peak after five years of absence, and soon later, chu wanning begins to be plagued by strange dreams.

Most Hits: same as above, by virtue of posting that monster of a story in chapters.

Longest: again, it was “awake, o sleeper” at 207k, which is also the longest story i've ever completed! i'm super proud of this!

Shortest: “the song of good hope” at 3.2k - a suitang futurefic i wrote for a small friend zine!

Fic that made me cry: i'm sure there have been others, but i read “grief. grief. handing you back your coin” by @it-goes-on last week and it made me ugly-cry, so thank you.

Fic that made me smile: “distraction management” by @sinsensory (26k, semantic error, jaeyoung/sangwoo) made me laugh out loud several times.

Events participated in: so many events! i participated in four bigger exchanges: mxtx exchange, danmei fanworks exchange, mxtx remix and yuletide; did two small server exchanges (one of which has yet to reveal); participated in the wangxian wlw week; took part in a small friend zine; and wrote two raffle fics!

Most Underrated Fic: i don't think any of my fics are underappreciated/underrated, honestly, because i'm really fortunate to receive a lot of incredible feedback, but in general, any and all small fandom fics are always a safe bet if you want to absolutely make someone's day with kudos or a comment!

Coming in 2023: ooooh boy, here we go... i have nine fics on my current to-write list: 1) the sequel to my yuletide king: eternal monarch fic, which i've already started working on; 2) a [redacted] fic for a small discord friend exchange i'm participating in, also in progress; 3) 5+1 king: eternal monarch fic about all the times jo yeong hooked up with other people (and the one he got to keep); 4) ranwan “sell your haunted house” au, in which chu wanning is a cultivator exorcist and mo ran is a medium haunted by the ghost of his dead mother; 5) fengqing charity auction fic for @lquacker, in which feng xin and mu qing continue to hook up every one hundred years or so for 800 years before they finally talk about feelings post-canon; 6) school 2013 namsoon/heungsoo roadtrip fic, because i really want to try writing heungsoo's pov and i love roadtrip fic; 7) my country: the new age 5+1 fic about seonho and hwi fucking across many years and two dynasties, feat. a lot of angry sex in the divorced era; 8) my country: the new age post-canon fic, because i know myself and i know i'll want to write one; 9) my country: the new age space opera au.
